5uld be a mistake to as slline that the Democratic voters of Arkansas are not paying due attention to the personnel of the next general assembly, said a prominent looker-on in Vienna" yesterday, discussing State poli- tics in a group at the state house,
 the Little Rock Gazette:
 been over the state some last few weeks, and l find hat Me gubernatorial race is by Q means overshadoWing the uestion of legislative represen- tation. The issue as to whether it shall be a Wood or Davis legis- < lature is sharply drawn, and there are other questions enter ing into the matter. Several years ago the people of Arkansas determined that a new state capitol shall be erected, and they have since elected majority of pro-capitol members, with the result that their wishes are being carried out and the work of building the new capitol is in progress. I predict that the Thirty-ffth general assembly will not undo the work along line. Another subject which
 being overlooked is that of
 e board of pardons. In
 of the counties that is be- .ug made an issue, and it is un- doubtedly meeting with favor. It will be remembered that in the last legislature the house passed a bill for a board of par tons, but it slept in the senate. me of the ablest lawyers state, .luding Judge U. M. Rose, pronounced it a constitutional measure. Another issue is the abolishment of the new chancery districts. All these questions

THE SERMON THAT STARTLED THE WORLD.
Perhaps no sermon ever before de-
livered by a Negro scholar has at
tracted so much attention, or pro-
voked as much discussion among
thinkers of both races on three con-
tinents-Africa, Europe, and America
as that delivered by my friend DR..
Agbebi, Priest of the African Baptist
Union, at the Anniversary Celebra-
tion of the African Church, Lagos,
West Coast, Africa, Dee. 81, 1902.
The sermon will be a revelation to the
white man who reads it, because of
its candor and boldness in attacking
ancient error { nd exposing the mani
fest humbug of so-called European
Christianity, and it will be no less a
revelation to the Negro in that it dis
covers to him the rank hypocracy of a
religion which makes him a pariah
and an outcast from the common
wealth of Israel and shows him that
Jesus Christ, the reat exampler and
|expounder Of truth, could not possibly
have given his approval to the thing
