 If Gov. Little does nothing else for Arkansas except to bring ami ty and good will into the state capitol he will have served his people well. This it seems the new governor has accomplished, for our news reports tell of the unbarring of many doors, the un- locking of many locks and the in troduction of the smile of welcome to many officers where before there was little but the frown of opposi- ton. Under Gov Davis many important state officials had been too bitterly antagonized to keep the open door of welcome to all, and these antagonisms offered no small barrier in the way of Arkan- sas' progress. Gov. Little has brushed them one and all aside. He has cast them out burned them away and communication from of flee to office no longer bristles with the thorns of deep seated animosities. Business can be transacted directly; there is no longer the need for the inter mediary and the result is tbat dis patch has usurped the place of de- lay, and the machinery of the state is moving with well-oiled regulari- ty. This coup upon the part of Gov. Little Is not only pesonal victory. but general benefit. It not only bespeaks his popularity and his pleasing diplomacy; but it argues d progressive and harmoni ous administration of affairs of the state-one which will. no doubt. lead Arkansas to the front at d rapid pace; for when there is a strong pull, steady pull and q pull all together for the good of Arkansas, there will be such promising fields uncovered that none will resist the desire to devel- op, to advance and to sing in praise of the state and the riches thereof Commercial Appeal.

School Notes.

School Notes.
 Christmas holidays, reviews and examinations are over, some pup ills have failed as is always the case i'll large school like the H. U. S. bnt about oo% have passed with credit to themselves and the insti- tuition.
 We are now beginning to break ground on the advance work of the second term. It is felt that just here a wor1 of thanks is due the patrons of the H U. s. and also of the Public school for their sup port and cooperation i'll the we'll management of these schools. For indeed it is felt by those who are in position to be intimately ac- quainted With the work done that much good work has been done and the schools are i'll good work ing condition.
 It is also felt that word of warning would not be out of order. In these long winter nights there are many amusements that are like ly to draw pupils of the high school age from their studies These often come in the form of parties, !" skating rinks" etc, which in themselves to a limited extent are wholesome and elevating amuse- meuts, but parents should look keenly after such to see that they are not allowed to take the child's time for study or so to engross his mind that he is not in a condition to study. II is very rarely the case that a pupil is found who can keep up his work in high school and not do quite good deal of studying at home and you can often tell about what your child is doing in school by the way he studies at home. If a child tells you he has time to do all his work at school you should look closely after his reports to see that there are no grades there that are not satisfactory. While this is only in tended as an ounce of prevention" it is hoped that it will save pounds ot attempted cure". There are no accusations brought or hinted at for the people have certainly been loyal to the school this year. In this connection the attention of the people is called to the deplorable condition of the school house for the pupils of the free school. Il Is a positive shame to have such a school house ill a town like Monti- cello. Now while the School Board is talking of building let each patron encourage them to push the work with all possible haste that good judgment in such an undertaking will admit. Things should be taking tangible shape soon II we are to have a new house tor our next school. With all shoulders to the wheel lets push for ,lis most needed public iui,

The cable brought the news few days ago, of the death at Al buquerque, New Mexico, of the of the man whose vote as a republican senator from the state of Kansas saved President Andrew Johnson from conviction at his impeachment trial. His vote on that occasion brought upon his devoted head the censure and vituperation of the radi- cal element of the republican party, and operated to drive him com- pletely out of public life-in fact, wholly ostracised him from the party to which he had always up to that time belonged. The writer of this screed well remembers Wm. Ross as a boy, when they served an apprenticeship in the same town, and afterwards worked as compositors on the same newspaper in Milwaukee, from which city he went to Kansas in the dark and bloody days Of "border rutfianism, and afterwards was. by appointment, made |. $. senator. It was always a mooted ques- tion why he voted as he did in the impeachment trial: and yet the ques- tion was one easy of solution to those intimately acquainted with the man he was simply and innately honest, and could not De made to do violence to his honest conviction of right, as he understood it, in obedience to the party lash, however vigorously applied. Retiring from the senate poor and with loss of all former party prestige, he took up his life anew and earned his living as a journey man printer, until in 1885 he was appointed by President Cleveland governor of New Mexico, which posi- tion he held for the term of four years, again resorting to the printers case for livelihood on his retirement from public life. He was a gentle man of the old school-honest, sincere and conscientious in public as we'll as private life-one deserving of more than he ever received at the hands of his fellow men. Had he not been rigidly honest, he might have retired from the senate wealthy, though without honor, instead of with a lean purse, but with the to him great wealth of an approving con- science.
