WHERE SHALL HE 60?

The railroadcompany, the bank CT, the business man generally, and the great industries of our country are rapidly concluding that they have no place in their service for the man that is not an abstainer. Whatis going to be- come of the family, even of the moderate thinker, if he is one who depends upon salary or wag- e for support? The attitude of the employer of labor is going to determine, in no small measure the question of the dram-shop. Starvation seems to await the drinker if he continues to patron ize the saloon. Perhaps while we are at it we might just as well show the matter conversely. Starvation awaits the saloon keeper if the army of the en- ployes shallcease to be it's patrons. To whose household shall the dire calamity come?
 We think the saloon-keeper could find another Job, and if not there are not near so many of them by millions as there are in the labor world, not to say any thing of the wives and children of this latter class.

The members of the Arkansas legislature i'd wisely in not hold ing an extra session. When the governor leaves the state there is ordinarily no need for a substi- tute except on very rare occas- ions. Gov. Pindall was away at tending the conference of gover- nors at Washington. and MT. Hamiter made a serious blunder when he undertook to call an ex- tra session in the governors ab- sence. Suppose when Mr. Roose- welt was in Panama the vice president had called an extra session of congress. Wouldn't there have been d howl about it! ---Commercial-Appeal.

Little Rock, May 20. Hon. John r. Rutherford, of Pine Bluff, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, is in Little Rock today on business matters. and while here will confer with Secretary Page relative to considering the Wallace-Goodwin contest case from the Seventh congressional district.
 When asked if anything par ticular had developed in the case, Mr. Rutherford said there had not, so far as he knew. He stated that a meeting of the committee had been called for May 26, on the appeal of w. s. Goodwin, of Bradley County, who asks that a recanvas of the vote from the Seventh district, and that the meeting will be at Little Rock.
 However, 1 have not seen Secretary Page as yet, "said he, and do not know what he has received from that district in the way of tally sheets, etc. It is only necessary that the returns be in the 26."
 MT. Rutherford stated that the meeting might be postponed until the 18th of May, should it best suit the convenience of the conditions in the case. He will have conference with Secretary Page this afternoon.

WHAT WILL BE THE GAIN?

What will be the gain of the proposed test of the auditors ac- tion in refusing to honor the vouchers for mileage and per diem of the members who came in re- sponse to a repudiated call for an extra session?
 What good will have been ac- complished by the members who are threatened to test the law?
 There is scarcely a shadow of doubt but that the supreme court will uphold Auditor Moore, who has demonstrated himself in many places requiring close de- cisions to be level-headed man.
 While disclaiming any fore knowle, ge of the supreme courts decision, or any legal attainments, it is safe conclusion that the su- preme court will decide that there was no extra session, and that therefore those who were in the legislative halls on Monday were no more entitled to mileage and per diem than the citizens who came from curiosity to see the show.
 The members of the senate recognized this when they adopt ed Senator Moore's resolution to consider themselves merely 9 mass-meeting subject to disper- sion rather than adjournment.
 And there are no members of the senate suing to recover their expenses from the state.
 The members of the senate recognized the legality of Gov. Pindalls revocation, that there was no existing call for an extra session. and this seems to be the most sensible doctrine to adopt.
 And so, what can be the gain?
 It may be alright to det ermine definitely the mooted points in this remarkable muddle, by an appeal to the courts, that the question may never arise again, but if it is to be done, let it be done without an eDgendering of partison rancor and further dis cord.
 To enter upon record the courts ipse diXit, confirma- tory of the excepted construc- tion popularly placed upon the law, is the only gain we can see to come from the proposed liti- gation. - Arkansas Democrat.

Meaning Of Neu Tariff ATonge-
g1ent zgith France.

Washington, Jan 29-Inquiries received at the
State Department to the scope and effect OF
the arrangement entered into yesterday with the
government of France. under Section of the
Dingley act indicate such degree of misconcep
tion to the purposes of that agreement that
the department has been obliged to make answer
to some of its correspondents, explaining in de-
tail the limitations under which 1t operated and
making clear the exact nature Of the arrangement
In the first place 1t is stated by the department
that reciprocity treaty has been signed: that the
failure Of such treaty negotiated with France
years ago has demonstrated the improba
bty of the ratification of such convention But
the department found itself obliged in the inter-
est of the preservation of American trade to con-
cede TO France the reduced duty champagne
otherwise the maximum French tariff would
have been placed on Porto Rican coffee and the
extremely valuable American petroleum trade. both
of which threatened by adverse legislation
in the French parliament.
In the of cottonseed oil. which enjoys
a minimum tariff rate. there has been no further
reduction obtained, but, instead. the department
is content with having succeeded in its struggle
to prevent a threatened increase of duty on that
article.
In addition American trade generally is power
fully sustained through the proviso in the agree
that if any duties imposed by France on
any American product greater than those
in existence and deemed by the President to
be unjust the champagne concessions will be
withdrawn; consequently the French parliament
is estopped from increasing the duty cotton
seed oil.
agreement is a powerful argument in favor of
the maximum and minimum tariff under whose
operations other countries viii find 1t object
reduce their rates in order TO correspond
ing reductions from America. In other words, in
stead of treating all countries alike We may favor
