The increase in the rent of post office boxes, which went into effect Tuesday, is an unwarranted and unreasonable action upon the part of the postofice department. At the local postoffice the smallest lock boxes have been advanced from 25 cents to 4,5 cents per quarter; the medium size boxes from 50 cents to 6 cents, aud large lock drawers from 75 cents to SI. There IS no reason for the patrons of postoffices being asked to pay more, ln the aggregate, for boxes than fair re- turn on the money invested in the fixtures would amount to. Yet at Conway, if all the boxes are rented, the revenue from this source will amount to about 5000 per year, or more than double the annual rental of both the fixtures and the post office building. It is small mat ter, but it is only one of many pet ty and inconvenient regulations re- gently made by the postofice de- partment, which seems bent upon surrounding the delivery of the peoples mail with as many difficult ties as possible.

It is stated in the Little Rock papers that "monster" petition
 in behalf of former Senator F. O..
 Butt, who began serving his term
 in the penitentiary this week, will be presented to Governor Davis asking for pardon. It is to be hoped that the governor will not, in the closing days of long ad- ministration, crown his already disgraceful pardon record by granting ~-executive clemency to Butt. However much personal sympathy may be felt for the un- fortunate senator, the fact of his guilt has been .clearly established and public sentiment is undeniably with the courts in which he was convicted.

HOW THE COUNTS MON
 EY CAN BE .SA TED.

If Judge Eugene Lanktord, who will preside over his first term ot circuit court here this month, wants to increase his popularity and at the same time confer great ben eft upon the people of Faulkner county, he can do so by dispatch ing the business before him and adjourning the court in the quick est possible time. From the courts that Judge Lankford has already held, good reports along this line have come, and it is 10 be hoped that we shall not be disappointed by his work here.
 We do not believe that more rigidly honest and conscientious judge ever sat on the bench in this county than Judge George M. Chap line, whom Judge Lankford sue ceeds. Being of a naturally obllg- ing and courteous disposition, how ever, he sometimes permitted the opportunities of attorneys to allow him to delay and continue cases to an unnecessary degree.
 But circuit courts are very ex- pensive institutions, and nearly half of our county general revenue is required to pay for them. Coun- ty Clerk ]. H. Hartje informs us that the average cost of a term ot circuit court in this county IS about S4ooo. Assuming the average length of the session is eight days, the daily cost would be $500. Ii, therefore, the term could be short ened one day each time, it would mean an annual saving of SIooo to the county.
 Lawyers, of course, are working in the interest of their clients, and if they see an advantage to be gain ed in delay, they are sure to ind some excuse to present to the court to secure it. But only the best ot reasons should move a judge to grant these requests. A few vlgor- ous rulings upon this point will do much to lessen the practice ot trumping up excuses for delay and a few fines for contempt upon wit nesses who fail to attend promptly will also have beneficial results.
 County Judge J. A. Lea has been giving this matter some thought and is considering plan which, with the cooperation of the circuit judge, will also tend to shorten the length of the term of court. This plan is to have the court house building we'll lighted with electric ity and ask that the sessions be re- , sumed each day for few hours after night. We trust that this plan may be putin operation.
 Short terms of circuit court will do much more toward the extin guishment of the county debt than false economy in the construction of roads, bridges and other public Improvements.
