COMMENT AND cRITIcIsM.
Some Opinions About Legislation Past
resent and Prospective.
Slow N commIttIe,es.

There is every Indication that the
present legislature win be long drawn
out. Much complaint ag made about
the size of some Of the larseis and
more important committees and the
difficulty of getting meetings. Wheth-
er this be the trouble or not, the fact
remains that it is very difficult to get
reports. The appropriation commit
tees seem to be way behind, especial
ly in the senate. The house bill mak-
ing the appropriation for the commons
schools, which was passed during the
early part of the session In the house,
is still in the hands of the senate com
mittee and has not beea reported.
There is understood to be some oppo-
sition in the senate to the increase
in the appropriation. If the senate
amends the bill by cutting the appro-
priation down, as is said to be very
probable, it will have to go back to the
house and may have to go to q con-
ference committee. This will delay
the distribution OF the school fuad
some days yet.

TWENTY.sIxTh DAY.

By the narrow majority of two votes
the lower house of the legislature last
week passed the bill allowing boards
of supervisors to make partial pay
ments on contracts for public build
ings as the work progresses.
This measure was indefinitely post
poned in the house a few days since,
and the motion entered to reconsider
was called up by Mr.. Ste1nis, of Lau-
derdale. The debate was quite spirit
ed, Messrs. Watts and Stennis, of Lau-
derdale, and MCGEE and Kinds leading
the forces in favor Of the bill. Their
chief contention was that the present

Prison system.

The proposed revision OF the method
Of governing the penitentiary finds its
first legislative manifestation In the
bill introduced by Mr. Denton, of Lau-
derdale, which abolishes the prison
board of control and places the man
ageme1t of the penitentiary In the
hands of an assistant, who is required
to give $4,000 bond, is appointed
by the governor for a period OF four
years, and is authorized to employ
such assistants as may be necessary to
conduct the affairs Of the prison. The
superintendent is made responsible for
the finances of the prison, must make
payments direct to the State treas
ury, and is required to close his ac-
counts on the first Of january each
year and make Official report.

The Duke of Wellington played the
violin as subaltern, but gave it up
when he became field officer. The
reason for this remuneration is sup
piled by The following extract from a
letter written by Mrs. Stuart Macken-
zie to the Duke Of Sutherland in 1852:
"Every one knows that to the last the
duke was fond and fine judge Of mu-
sic. In youth he was a performer on

stance occurred during the time Of his

duchess, who has often repeated it to
me with pride as an omen of what was
to be expected from his great self COM
mand and frmness Of decision"

Sioux City Has Prospects of Securing
Terminals.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City. Nov. 23.-An interurban
railway line, with Sioux City as one
Of the terminals, is under consideration
and eastern capitalists are said to be
backing the concern. There is said to
be no question of money, the only con-
sideration being whether the PROPOSE
ton is one which will yield fair
return on the investment.
r. H. Burton-Smith is in charge OF
the arrangements for the proposed
road He declines to state what direc-
ton the line is to take from Sioux
City and says the whole matter Is
more or less speculation so far.
II will not deny that we are looking
for a suitable location" said Mr.. Bur-
Smith, land in time will ask for
a franchise, If things go to our liking.
The proposition is backed by eastern
capitalists, and there is no lack ut
money We do not know yet, how
ever, whether the proposition is one
that will yield returns sufficient to
warrant the investment. An interurb-
an line is the proposition under con-
sideration."

TEXTBOOK WAR.
Agents so Thick They Are Warned Not
to Tresspass.

to Tresspass.
Special to Times-Republican.
independence, Nov. 23. = A school
textbook war is on in this county. For
twenty years the American Book COM
pany has supplied the rural schools
with textbooks, and so close has been
the contract that even the supplement-
airy reading has also come from this
company. For fifteen years there has
been no change in the textbooks used.
The time has arrived for the renewal
Of a five-year contract, but the direct
ors and teachers show signs Of de-
manding a change. Other book con-
Germs are not slow to seek to secure a
footho1d, and in consequence about
twenty agents are making this city
headquarters.
The question is reduced to the point
of whether the modern books are worth
the money value involved. 1t is estimat-
ed that school outfit is worth 81, and
as there are about 5000 children to be
supplied the change will be an expens-
i've one.
Some townships have warned all
agents to stay off the ground, and 9TH
ers have deferred their contracts until
March, hoping to profit by the acts of
other towns. The ultimate result will
be a uniformity of school textbooks
turnout the county, with the whole
matter in the hands of board of edu-
cation, condition that has not here
tofore been obtained.

Defeat Of Benson.

Faulkner, Nov. %. - Editor T1mes-
Republican: The article under the
above caption, written by a Geneva
correspondent, and appearing in the
Evening Times-Republican of the l4th
inst, has but just come to the writer's
notice, owing to the fact of his being
absent from home the past week
1t is not our purpose, or desire to
get into any political controversy with
our Geneva friend but the facts and
real cause Of Mr. Benson's defeat for
supervisor in the Third district are so
grossly misrepresented in that article
I cannot suffer it to pass unchallenged.
To those who are conversant with
the facts leading up to Mr.. Benson's
defeat the article Is absurd.
I wish to brand as fallacious at least
so far as the writer is concerned, the
assertion that those whom our Geneva
friend chooses to term defeated can
didates, were in any manner respon-
sible for Mr. Benson's defeat. l sup
ported Mr.. Benson three years ago.
helped nominate him again at our last
primary, and voted for him at our last
election.
The writer was not sore over defeat
three years ago, and with other de-
feated candidates accepted defeat with
resignation, tho it was alleged by some
that the playing of cold card gave
Mr.. Benson the nomination by the very
small plurality of seven votes in the
district.
1t would have been very unwise for
any one, aspiring to the office which
Mr.. Benson now holds, to compass his
defeat, and pass the Office to as good
man as Mr.. John McGrath.
If our accuser, at Geneva, will take
the trouble to ask Mr.. McGrath, he will
tell him that he is not indebted to the
writer OF this for any support what
ever, and If he wishes to find the real
course of Mr.. Benson's defeat, he may
by reading between the lines, if he is
astute enough to do so. f. S. Whitney.
