Have You Met Him?

Has 1t ever been your pleasure to
meet that gentlemen (?) who, back
in old "York State" was lost in the
shuttle where brains and ability arc
potent factors to success, and VIII,
has been forced by environment I,
take a little job selling a specially
deal for some novelty house on com
mission? That boy who alwayl
has knock about the train service
about hotel accommodations, about
the state, and often about the South.
That smart boy, that wise one, that
"high brow" who sneers at Arkan-
sas, and endeavors to belittle her
people and her institutions.
You know it strikes us that it is
rather inconsistent for a man to
acknowledge, by the very position
which he may chance to hold. that
he found it necessary for him to
come into Arkansas to earn a llveli-
hood, and at the same time show
that inherent streak Of mule in him
by braying forth ldiotic criticisms
of the state and the people from
whom he derives his living. We
have hundreds and thousands of
big hearted, brave AMI loyal travel
ing men, who are known ana re-
spected by the business interests of
the state, and it is exceedingly tire
some to have to come in contact
with one of these pseudo-drummers.
Could these bright boys but once
comprehend that for years and
years in the past Arkansas, her
people, her magnificent business IN
stitutions and her inexaustible re-
have gone along smoothly, !
with each year being crowned with
greater achievements, before tney |
we're ever heard Of, and how greatly |
delighted her otherwise most hospit-
lble people would be if such as they
would remain without the borders
If the state until they arrive at the
Ige of discretion when they are
usceptbile to the culture of those
.lementry principles of decency, and
ommon politeness, in which they
re so greatly lacking.
One of the most trlte replies
.iven one of these smart boys was

id hotel IN a nearby town some
ears ago, when in answer to some
{ the unfouuded kicks of one of
lese disgruntled ones, the landlord

IL common with hosts Of others, the
commoner is of the opinion that the
democrats would win q nations gratitude
if they would take advantage of their
congressional victoryIto submit an amend
mient to the constitution postponing
inauguration day for a month and pro-
viding that congress shall convene i'm
mediately after inauguration and that the
second session shall adjourn before the
election. Such q change would have
two advantages. First. it would con-
vene congress more quickly after the
election and thus secure q more imue-
diate compliance with the popular will.
Second. it would give the peoples chance
to review the entire record of congress
and pass Judgment upon It, whereas at
present they have no chance to sit in
Judgment upon the action Of congress
during the closing session. Several at
tempts have been made to delay inaugu-
ration day but there is still more reason
why the FIRST session of congress should
be held earlier than it is and last session
before the following election.

DEAR EDIroRs Not having seen any
thing Id your valued paper about the
public roads since they passed under the
management of our road engineer last
season, though I would bring up the
matter
There was vast sum expended on GER
tain roads in the Sixth district Of Cecil
county last fall. The work was done
under the direction Of the road engineer
and his inspectors. The engineer gets
$500 per day and inspectors $500 per
day. Neither Of these men do any work
Then comes in The gang boss who has
charge Of the men and he is not supposed
to do much but direct the matter. He
gets $500 day for himself and team.
Now, the points this: The very roads
that this work was done on. under such
heavy expense. are the worst in the
county and have been SO all winter.
Hence would ask. is this new system
not getting us ''out of the mud into the
mire? And at this rate we will soon be
Tin the slough of despond. Would it
not be better to save this money which is
worse than thrown away.and use it to
improve permanently some piece of road7
We had better system of mending the
roads 40 years ago and we had better
roads then than now and did not spend
|one-haif the money, as the records will
show. What is the road business coming
to anyway Outside Of our macadam
roads, right now, there is not a single
piece Of road fit to travel upon.
To whom can we appeal for help in this
matter? The County Commissioners say,
1--WE have no authority" The road in
spector is under the engineer and the
engineer isl don't know. AS they say
down in Missouri, please shew me.
Vox PoPULI.
We are compelled to pass Vox Populi's
query along the line until it strikes some
one better informed than we are. For
months and months last year number OF
citizens of the Sixth district labored with
the. Road Engineer, trying to induced him
to inaugurate the use Of the split-log road
drag. He promised and promised and
promised and when last heard from,
months ago, was still dragging promises
instead Of dragging roads.
