month. The author Of the article
tries to make 1t appear that the
Arkansas Gazette committed an
objectionable sin#by refusing to
publish the article, which the au-
thor Of it claims, is d true account
of the Joint discussion. The edi-
tor of this paper does not profess
to be past master in literature
and journalism, but we have had q
little practical experience along
that line, and must confess that, if
this communication could be called
a true account OF a joint debate, we
have been working with the wrong
end up. It IS 40 wonder that the
Gazette refused to publish the ar
ticle. Any paper thatwas notowned
body and soul, by Governor Davis
would have done the same thing.
The Gazette did exactly right, and
if Governor Davis and his hench-
men want such true accounts" of
his speeches published, they should
buy paper of their own, then
they could fill it up entirely with
such rot.
The Journal has no fight to make
on Governor Davis, mind you, and
it is not our intention to get mixed
UP in this democratic family row,

gence ought to know that a news
paper that is run on business prin-
ciples would not publish as news

Lacey's Trafn-Robbine Methods.

said a local officer yesterday, discussing the
bold escape Of the prisoner supposed TO be

I am inclined 20 think from the desperate
chances taken by the man TO get away that he
must be Lacey. he Is nothing il not daring
and the fact that forty-fve was taken from
him when he was suddenly confronted and ar
rested in Argenta Monday shows that he al
ways goes 'hxed.' The Higginson train rob
berry itself WAS one Of the boldest deeds on
record. Think Of one man going through a
train and relieving the passengers Of their val
uabIes without resistance! But that is the
kind Of chance man like Lacey would take,
and it is not surprising that he. If it really

that the man can be retaken. Il is said there

Useless Racket.

Win the City Of the Futu.e Be Quiet ?
The voice Of protest has been raised
once more against the useless noises
Of the modern city, the occasion of
protest being the fact that a Russian

York from the constant noise which
assailed her ears. There are othe.
people whom the noise appears to
lave made insane, bat IN a slightly
different fashion. They appear to
ike it and be proud Of II.
a voice of sane protest has, how
ever, been raised, apropos Of this IN
cident, and It has been urged that

average city street is quite useless.
The street cries of vendors and news
boys belong to this class Of mneces-
sary noises, 50 do two-thirds Of the
bells and whistles which serve as os-
tensible signals to working people. IT

people who seem t. think that to con-

II IS a question, for example,
whether the mournful howls Of street
vendors really help them 10 sell their
goods. The people who buy are usu-
ally on the lookout for them, anyway,
snd would signal them to stop if they
went by in absolute silence. News
boys, too, are more often stopped by
those who see them than by those
whose attention is attracted by their
shouts. AS for signaling by bells and
whistles, that really seems, IN tins age
Of the world, a most unealled-for
racket. A few large clocks, kept IN

places, would be several times as use

1t is a problem which British soldiers
were called upon 20 determine IL the
reign of the English King Charles /.
who, having violated the terms of the
constitution, found himself in armed
conflict with parliament. A portion OF
the army sided with the King, holding
that their allegiance to him was superior

other portion of the army ranged them
selves Uader the orders Of Oliver Crom-

cations as patriotic citizens to the com

tector in England. The overthrow IN 1865
of Queen Isabella Of Spain; Of Empress

Of King Louis Philippe in 1885, and OF

in discussing the murder at Belgrade
ext ressed In print the opinion that
While the Servian officers had assuredly
been guilty Of disloyalty TO their ruler
ye+ that their obligations as citizens

allegiance to the sovereign. He pointed
out that whereas the oath of allegiance
was only taken by the soldier on enter

citizen commenced with his very BIRTH
and must, therefore. be considered as
above those which. on entering the
army, he had undertaken with regard 10
