Commission Form Carries.

Fort Smith.-By vote of 1879 to 4el Fort Smith adopted the commis- sion form of government. The char ter carried in every one of the eight precincts in some instances by a vote as high as 1-2 to 1. The election was the first of its kind ever held in Arkan- sas. and the total of 2,500 votes cast Is considered as proving the interest of the people. Opposition to comission government failed to take on any con crete form until the closing hours of the campaign, too late for antis to make any material organization of their forces.

APPROPRIATIONS
 KEEP SOL0Ns BUSY
THE AXE FREELY USED IN EF- FORT TO STAY WITHIN
 STATES FINANCES.
SENATE LETS HOUSE WORK
Lower Branch Expected to Make Big Reductions to Which Senate
 Would Agree.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Definite action was taken on two ap- propriation bills, those for the main- tenance of the University of Arkansas senate. In addi ition to this the general appropriation bill, after being consid- cred in committee of the whole, was reported on favorably.
 The agricultural school appropria- tion went through with practically no reduction, except at the Thrid district school, Magnolia, where a cut of Sl2,- GOO was made voluntarily by the sen ator from that district. After declining to make the reductions sought by the battle axe" brigade, the senate cut off further discussion and amendments drought the previous question" be- ing demanded. The bill was then pass ed and sent over to the house |.
 The only reduction in the University of Arkarsas appropriation was the elimination of the item appropriating S15,000 fer the purchase of farm for the a ,ricultural department, and the $4 ,000 provided for the summer school. This bill was also saved from further cutting by the previous question af- ter which the bill passed. There was little discussion on the measure, after the items cut out had been placed back in the bill The principal of these was the increase of the appropriation for the sub-stations and soil survey of the agricultural department back to SlO,- 900. It was cut to s6000.
 The attitude of the senate on the appropriation bills, was to let the house do the wrangling over the reduc- tions, and then pass the bills as they come from the house, for should the senate cut, the house would still fur ther make reductions, and the senate would then have to concur in the amendments or call for a conference committee to reach an agreement.
 The general appropriation bill was considered but a short time, the post age account of the commissioner of agriculture withstanding an effort to reduce it from S1,500 to $4S0 after which the house bill was amended by placing back in it the item appropriat- ing $1 200 for a day watchman at the old statehouse, raising the salary of the stenographer in the land office to $2,400 and the cutting out of a $3,- GOO rate clerk for the railroad com mission An effort to eliminate clerk in the land office with a salary of S2,- 400, failed. The committee of the whole then reported the bill fayorably.

One bill was introduced in the sen ate, a special revenue and privileged bill, BOG, Hughes, appropriating $17,940 for the maintenance of the state board of health for the biennial period The house recently killed an appropriation of $24,000 for this department, and the senate would have dealt unfriendly to say the least had not President Old ham ruled the bill was a privileged enc and subject to second reading without argument.

The senate, after much argument, killed the Covington bill creating a commission to look after the fire in surance companies in the senate. The bill was indefinitely postponed af CT it was explained acts similar had been passed in Missouri and Texas, and the supreme court of the United States had declared the act unconstitutional after which Louisiana repealed the law, Texas has announced it's inten- ton of doing the same, and one branch of the Missouri legislature has voted to repeal it's act.

In his own department the office Of public

object-lesson roads, and the forest service is car

per cent of the gross receipts from the national
forests shall be spent in the states in which the
forests are situated. This money is expended for
road improvement under direct control Of the
secretary of agriculture.

UNFORTUNATE, AT LEAST


Criticism Of the unfortunate course so far
pursued in the MtDuffie Kellett Ainvestigatipn''
should not be taken as a reflection on the attor-
ney-generaI's office, which has been striving to
reduce the charges into definite and concrete
form Deputy Arthur q Smith has been work
ing under the handicap OF l-health and this has
had something to do with the Inability Of the in
sestfgatcrs to tell McDnffie and Kellett why
they have been suspended.
Butsit is an open question If the attorney
generals department was the proper place for
the charges, anyway. And it is no question at
all that Sheriff Jarrett, in suspending his cap.
tain and deputy Of detectives, has been acting on
hearsay accusations. He admits as much. With
the inability Of the attorney generals office Ito
furnish detailed charges promptly, the sheriff is
certainly in an embarrassing position. But what
about the accused men, who have been to all pur-
poses suspended since last Friday, and who are
not yet able to learn what arc the charges
against them?

principles underlying all pensions, and especial

Teachers pensions and pension systems, ac-
cording to DR. Sizes, represent one phase of what

school teachers, he points out, have existed in
Germany In some form or other for two or three
centuries, and in other European countries for
the better part Of century or mere On the senti-

been extended to include widows and orphans OF
