OPPOSE THE AMENDMENTS.
Senator Butt and Ex. Represeta- .
 tive Phillips Against Them.


 Senator F. o. Butt of Eureka Springs spent Sunday last in this city visiting home folks. On Saturday he spoke at Rule, and on Monday left for Madison county where the democratic com- mittee has billed him for the last week of the campaign. While here, a representative of THE TRIBUNE interviewed Mr. Butt, with a view of ascertaining his views upon the two constitutional amendments that are to be sub- mitted to the voters next Mon day.
 "There has never been," said Mr. Butt, "any amendment pro- posed to our constitution more useless than No. 8. now pending nor one more dangerous than No. 9. Amendment No. 8 pro- vides for the creation of another state office, that of a sixth justice for the supreme bench. We now have five. and they are about three years behind with their work. It is suggested to make the number six and let them sit in two bodies of three each. It would mean practically two supreme courts, and when suit is lost before one of them, it may, under certain conditions, be again appealed to the full court. 1 think it would result in no expedition of business, but would only involve additional expense to litigants with no say- ing of time. It is safe rule not to create additional state officers; for once created, it is next to im- possible to get rid of them, even if found to be useless.
 Amendment No. 9 proposes to allow cities to issue bonds in order to pay off existing scrip indebtedness, or to make city improvements. I consider 1t one of the most dangerous changes ever proposed. It is true 1t IS left to the people to vote for or against the issuance of the bonds, and also to the city council to so vote, but any one who has ob. served, knows that the history of city government when it goes into the hands of either Of the political parties, as such, IS a history of corruption and dls- honesty. St. Louis, New York, Chicago and dozens of other cities of smaller size are apt ll- lustrations. At present all our Arkansas cities are burdened with a scrip debt that runs up into the thousands. Eureka Springs owes today about S5o, 900 of scrip. The scrip IS easy to issue and in many cities It ss issued like drawing water out or a well and for every purpose the aldermen think would be con- venient. ,
 .Wha. most of the cities need Tn order to get out of debt is less extravaganza, and not a chance

Co Spend more money. But If the cities are allowed to issue bonds, the bonds will be turned loose with the same recklessness that city scrip is today, until every city in the state will be grooming under millions of in- terest bearing debt that will bring back to us the bond cursed days of 1870-74. It is of no use to say it effects no one but the cities. When your neighbors are all mortgaged up to the eyes, there is mighty little prosperity for you, and in the same way, if cities are i'll debt up in the mill ions, 1t means there is very little for the farming people around, to be got out of the city,
 "Senator, 1 think you said a few minutes ago that you voted
 for the submission of the amend ment to the people. What ex- planation have you to offer for that vote?'
 ''It was this way" said Mr. Butt, 'the Amendment No. 9 was introduced by MT. Fuller from Eureka Springs. 1 have no excuse to offer for voting to submit it to the people at this election, as there is no real ex- cuse, as l believed at the time that it was a dangerous proposi- ton. It was Mir. Fuller's personal measure; he was doing all he could to pass it, and insisted that it's passage was necessary for Eureka Springs; as he and a large number of Eureka Springs people no doubt honestly believe. l was not at that time familiar with the financial condition of the city, and believing that it was possible those city residents un- derstood the matter better than myself, and for more than any other reason, because Mr. Fuller made a personal plea for my support. 1 agreed to vote for it.. 1 did not realty believe it would pass and the fact that it did IS due largely to MT. FuIler's ener- getic work.
 "The friends of the measure say it will not increase taxes. That is true at present as cities are already paying all the tax tue constitution allows. But if We allow them to issue bonds upon which they can not even pay the interest it will be but a few years until we will be told that we must pass another amendment to allow them to levy d higher tax, in order to raise money to pay the interest and preserve their honor. The bond business once started will spread like a cancer until not only cities, but towns, counties and school districts will be issu- ing bonds. We have no right to create debts for our children to pay. They ought to have the chance to start in life as free from debt as ourselves. l hope every voter in the county will see to it that the w ords For Amend ment No. g. is thoroughly scratched off his ticket.
 Ex-Representative w. R. Phil lips was also seen by our reporter and asked as to his position upon the amendments. He expressed his unqualified opposition to both. He characterized Amendment No. 9 as an exceedingly dan gerous measure and advises the people regardless of party to vote against it. He sees no possible good that could come from the adoption of Amendment Mo-. and thinks it should and will be de- feated by decided majority.

Q
The Weakness of Parker and Davis
Grows Palmer Each Day.

1t appears that Judge Parker of
Esopus is going to New York City to
run his own campaign. The revelation
has come, but it has come more swiftly
than most Of us expected. The reveal
ton is simply this-that the idea of the
country that the Democrats had nomi
mated a fine old judge whose character
led up to the standard Of what a judge
should be is shivered into splinters. Two
years ago the country knew nothing of
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York,
and little Of Henry Gassaway Davis Of
West Virginia, two men picked up, for
a purpose. by the men who controlled the
Democratic national convention. How
clear to everybody now must be the sit
%uation. Instead Of this stately judge
who sent the stately telegram to St.
Louis. appears, and for all permanency,
merely a decent creature OF the famous
New York politician, David Bennett
Hill.
1t is all queer. IL appears so nnsub-
stantial and Indifferent that Hill could
have nominated one of his creations for
the Presidency.
AS the days pass in this autumn of
1904 the eyes of the American people
are opening as to the political situation.
There is no anguish following the open
ing. 1t is practically all over. saw the
exhibition Of a certain exuberance next
November.
1t is impossible that such a people
as are the voters of the United States
could vote generally to place the gov
| eminent in the hands of Tammany and a
weak but crafty Democratic leader,
whose aims and objects have seemed
ever to be for himself alone, one who
has never heard or thought of the ex-
preston, the greatest good for the
greatest number and who, above all,
seems incompetent for the best manage
ment of the United States.

OF u
Gold Dem ocrats Stunning the Hill
Sheehan Combination.

The Gold Democrats of Indiana are
unwilling to trust Judge Parker's spon-
sors. They are willing to contribute So
600 to the campaign fund. but the money
will not be sent to the Hill-Sheehan
combination. They have asked Parker
himself to take the money. If the Demo
Gratis are unwilling to trust their leaders.
how can the mass of the people be ex-
pected to take any stock in the profess
sions and promises Of the party? If the
Gold Democrats are correct in their esti-
mate of Parker's managers, the latter
are no better than a gang of sand-bag-
gers. Sterling r.. Holt. one Of the lead
Ing Gold Democrats Of Indiana, said a
few days ago: The Gold Democrats
are not going to be coaXed behind a
barn and relieved of their money and
then driven to the polls and voted"
1t is gratifying to learn that such a
man as Mr.. Holt entertains the same
view of Hill and Sheehan that Repub-
licans do, but it is somewhat remarkable
that Mr.. Holt does not realize that Par
ker is merely the creature of his man
ayers, and that any money given to the
judge will find its way. through some
channel, to Democratic headquarters.

CONVENTION OF CLUBS.
Low Rate Of Fare Secured by LeaEuers
for indianapolis Meeting.

At the request of the officers OF the
National Republican League, who are
working up interest in the convention of
Republican Clubs at Indianapolis, Oct.
> and 8, the Central Passenger Assocla-
tion has conceded a rate from all points
i'll the territory Of the association Of one
fare plus 25 cents for the round trip.
The selling dates are Oct. 4, > and & and
the retur limit Oct. 9, thus enabling a
visit to st. Louis. 1t was agreed that
these fares should be rendered other as
sociations east and west. No card or
ders or certificates are required on the
dates mentioned.
President Moore OF the National
League, after consulting with President
c. w, Mcclure Of the Indiana League,
and representatives of the Illinois organ
ization, returned to Philadelphia. He
said the organization OF Republican
clubs was being pushed with vigor and
that an attendance Of at least 1000 dele
gates from the various State and terri
torial leagues was expected at Indian
apolis. Headquarters will be opened at
the Denison Hotel in that city at once.
The League men are especially pleased
with the low rates Of fare secured. and
anticipate large audiences to hear Secre-
taries Shaw and Taft and Senators Fair
banks and Beveridge, and Hon. George
A. Knight of California.

RAIL WAY MANS VIEWS.
Country Is Prosperous, and Roosevelt
Will BE Elected,

f. III. Hartman. one of the best in
formed railway officials in the country,
says a continuation of national pros
perity is assured. Recently he said to
Il New York Herald reporter:
conditions which in other years
caused panic and national distress do
not now exist. In all ocalities-in Ne
hraska and Kansas, in the East and the
Far West-the local moneyed interests
are conservative. 1t is possible to in
veStigate with accuracy any financial or
industrial question. The small money
centers as well as the large ones are
we'll supplied with funds, and this fact
insures careful investment and mini
mixes risk. There has been a slow,
steady enhancement of values, and it is
still going on"
When asked for his opinion on the
probable outcome of the election, he said:
1T will be Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
Every one wants them. No one can af-
ford to change"

DEMOCRATS ADMISSION.
Parkcr's Party Afraid to Stand on Its
Past Record.

John B. S%tanchfeld, one OF the leaders
Of the New York Democracy, said in a
speech at Schenectady:
They the Democrats) do not stand on
their past, but they present Il live inter
probation OF live issues"
Truly, the Democratic party does not
stand on its past. 1t dares not stand
on its past-on it's advocacy of free
coinage of silver, on its demand for the
hauling down of the flag in the Philip
pines, on the business paralysis that
marked the last period during which the
Democratic party was in control of the
government; on it's declaration that the
war for the preservation of the Union
was a failure; on all the laundering OPP
position of which its history is a con-
tlnuOuS record.
The Democratic party does not and
dares not stand upon its record. because
its record would discredit the most en-
ticing promises hat it could make.
