ITS A SHAME.

Acting Mayor odom, of Little Rock, has taken the bit in his tee.h and issued orders to the chief of po- lice to enforce strictly the ordinance prohibiting chickens from running at large within the city limits.
 There are probably thousand req sons why Little Rock should enforce this ordinance to the letter.
 In the first place the Little Rock police force, evidently. like the son who was made an editor, is good for nothing else. So if the blue coated department makes good with the en- forcement of this ordinance. down to future generations may be handed the g]ories of such a victory.
 Another reason why the ordinance should be enforced Is the coming Confederate Reunion. Little Rock is preparing to make it's hospitality famous on this occasion. It proposes to entertain the tninning ranks of that grand cid cause in manner never rivalled before. And what Lit tie Rock housewife could make good with the bounties of a laden table when the chickens are likely to he down Main street viewing the latest Cbanticler effects in the milliner win dows? If their yellow legs are to do decorative stunt on a large platter as preliminary to filling the inner man they must be around the house handy when the last bugal call Is sounded for them to get in the game.
 Still another reason why the ordi- nance should be enforced is the gen eral effect chickens running at large has on the first formed opinions of strangers There is no place about slxyscraper a chicken cal roost in peace. Neither were built that way
 True. the presence of hens cluck- ing their hungry broods across Capi tol avenue in search of worm that might be struggling through the as phalt of that thoroughfare might be sight to make some of tho members of the legislature feel more at home, but then the sympathy such an in cident wou'd excite would offset all the homelike pleasure of such an oc- casion, and might lead to dire results in legislation against worm proof streets
 Keep the chickens off the streets by all means.

A new SCHEME

The state officers. irrespective of
party, says the Goldfield Tribune
are talking over a new political
scheme. Under the present law
most of them devote the major
portion Of their time to cxofficio
duties. Every officer is on some
board. This in turn causes a
hus tie for political positions, and
the duties multiply as the sessions
of the legislature meet. 1t is
proposed that the next legislature
pass al flaw that creates a::commission
to take up the exofficio duties.
This would take lot of political
worry off the hands of the present
off GERS. BY making this elective
the matter could be fought out at
the polls. The scheme sounds good
and it is possible with the agita-
ton that several state officer are
giving it out that something along
that order will come from the
scheminQ.

At SO MUCH PER HEAD

If there had been much doubt
about the underground" method
of bringing Chinese laborers into
the United States from Mexico,
the accidental discovery of ten
abandoned and starving Celestials
on one Of the Coronado islands
resolves the doubt. The in
humanity of the smugglers in thus
leaving the Mongols to perish on
deserted island is appalling, and
first challenges attention and stir.
indignation. But beyond that, it
uncovers the plain unvarnishe d
fact that there had been regular
business established which the
strict military patrol along the
international boundary interrupted.
According to San Diego papers,
so'many Chinese had been uni loaded
at Ensenada and other Lower
California ports; for delivery in
California. that it became necessary
to try to dispose of some Of them,
and the sea route was attempted,
the statement being made that
$3.50 per head was to be paid for
Chinese safely landed. A small
boat with a cargo of ton was
wrecked, end forced t. land its
human freight on an uniuhabited
island. while either the fears or
the brutality of the smugglers
caused them 10 leave the coolies to
their fate.
Which seems to suggest that the
patrol Of the border might be
profitably continued long after
peace is declared below the line,
and that not only by land. but by
sea, Uncle Sam shall bestir himself,
to see that the laws against Chinese
immigration are not mocked.-

ORIGIN OF POPULAR SAYING

Political terms that are pointed
and expressive have been coined
du ring each campaign since the
admission Of this state to the union
on October 31st, 1864. During
the '70's and early in the sos.
when the Comstock was blooming
and booming a number of short
sayings were in every day use
among the citizens that expressed
delight, disgust. and appreciation
in q word or short phrase. that are
still appreciated by the old.tiners.
The term"stand without hitch
ing" was coined and put into use
by noted financier and horse NAL
at Carson City during the hearing
of a petition for pardon of
young man. who had been cen
victed Of q minor felony. The
pardoning board were sedate in
demeanor and showed signs of
weariness. as the lawyer for the
petitioner terminated his harangue
with low how and Gentlemen,
thank YOU" 1t was twenty
minutes to the whistle and the
Governor and Chief Justice locked
invitingly at the audience az
sembled, as coming fall an election
would take place. Suddenly the
impetuous financier and horse
owner. seemingly filled with con-
viction, stepped out of the circle of
humanity and with his soft white
hat elssped by the brim, and adj
dressed number Of remarks red
hot from the bat to the board while
facing the governor. His plea was
very forceful. convincing and
right to the point why the young
man should be pardoned. Instead
Of bowling low and terminating his
speech with Gentlemen. thank
you," he said: Governor, IL you
will pardon this young man ] will
guarantee that he will stand with
out hitching."
The Chief Justice and his as
Bociates recovered slowly from
the volley Of words discharged by
the rapid fire financier and race
horse man, but the phrase stand
without hitching," was not
technically clear, and seemed more
stunning than q mouthfull Of old
dead Latin. After consulting a
few minutes the board decided that
they were uniformed as to the
meaning Of the term used by the
last speaker, and the governor. in
neat complimentary speech.
politely invited the financier and
horse man to fully explain to the
board the meaning in full Of the
torn: stand without hitching."
This he did in the following
language:
