No TINE To READ.-Wc have often
encountered many who profess to believe
they have no time to read. Now we
think of it, there have always been men
of such characters, the point of which is
easily summed up. Nine times out OF
ten, they are men who have not found
time to confer any substantial advantage
either upon their families or themselves.
They frequently spend whole days in
trilling, gossiping, and swapping horses,
but they have no time to read They
sometimes lose day asking the advice
Of their neighhors; sometimes n day in
picking up news, the precise currant, and
the exchange, but they never have time
TO read. Such men generally have un-

In the opening of the political campaign for the present year, the state central executive com mittee, referring to the satisfacto- " advancement of our state on thel road of political honor and material prosperity under a Dem ocratic administration, desires to invoke the continued action of the whole people to secure the perpetuation of q condition of af- fairs so satisfactory to every pa trio:ic citizen.

 In a period incredibly short, Arkansas has been redeemed from state of political vassalage and financial bankruptcy to that of a sovereign equal in the Amer ican confederation, happy and prosperous at home, and respect ed abroad. To the people of the state, through their representa- tives, belongs the honor. It only remains for them to act together to perpetuate the blessing. To that end your committee has call ed convention to assemble at the state capital on the 14th day of June next, and urge upon all who havo the interests of the state and party at heart, to take part in the effort necessary to make that convention in the fullest sense represent the sentiments and interests of the whole party. As each individual must suffer by the maladininistration of pubic affairs, so is he under obligations to assist in shaping events so as to secure a pare and compc- tent administration.

 Your committee urges prompt action in this matter, first upon the county executive committees. In counties where a call for con vention can not be regularly made from any cause, it is suggested that as many as three members of the party in fair standing in each township might unite Tn a joint call for township and county conventions, giving ample notice, and thus efiectually organize the party without the intervention of mass meeting for the selection of RI executive committee. As to the exact mode of organizing no positive direction is given; but the hope is strongly indulged that such organization may be eff fected as that the will of the party may be fully reflected in all the conventions-township, county, congressional and state. In such cases do not wait for some one else to act; act yourselves and see that others do.

 It is an important era in our history, and the destiny of the country for years to come is to be determined. The same corrupt dynasty under which Arkansas suffered so long has now possess ion of every department of the federal government, except the lower house of congress. That is doing faithful work, and Ar kansas has four representatives 10 give her voice expression.

 You will be called to vote not only for candidates Gg state off ces, but also to appdhf delegates to represent you in the National Democratic convention for the purpose of choosing candidates for the highest executive offices of the general government, and with the prospect, for the first time in many years, for giving your preference expression at the general election. The occasion is propitious, as we'll as important. Let each member of the party do his part as an individual, and the beginning at least will be secure.

The charges against Capt. Van Dusen are
of the most serious character, and If true, very
summary disposition should be made Of him.
He was ignorant for twenty consecutive days
that gambling was carried on in the house of
n man notorious as harbOrer of the worst
sort of characters, and resident within
n stones throw of his station. Capt.
Van Dusen was guilty Of either COM
plicity in this fraud or ignorance Of this
violation of law in his precinct. In either
case there is no justifable defense, especially
when it is known that the Inspector OF Police
called his attention to the rumOr that such
violation of the law was fragrant. 1t is
nerious question whether. the Inspector, who
was satisfied with calling the Captains atten-
ton TO the ruInor, can justify his own subse-
quent inaction.


The present Police Commissioners labor un-
der great disadvantage in their administra-
ton of the affairs of their department, and any
effort they may make toward reforming it
ought to be heartily seconded. They have
been placed in control of an organization which
ten years and more of Ring misrule thoroughly
corrupted. The worst characters of the old
Ring were pensioned off by appointment on the
police force. BY singular transpOsitiOn of
all rules of discipline the subOrdinates of the
Police are appointed for life, while the Com
missioners are removable at pleasure OF the
Mayor and Governor. A perfect discipline is,
of course, impossible under such circum-
stances; 4; and there is, therefore, the greater
reason to commend the Commissioners In the
determined and united effort which they are
now making to dismiss ignorant and corrupt
officers no matter of what grade.

Probably one of the most important Con-
gresses which have been called together by our
Centennial celebration is now in session in
Philadelphia--the International Medical AssO-
citation. Cooperation between machinists, an
tiquarians, Knights Templars, women, artists,
or any other of the innumerabe bodies who
have met and conferred in Philadelphia this
Summer, may be of measurable advantage to
themselves and to outsiders; but when the
mef who have the care of our bodies all over
the world come together with an honest pur-
pose to give to each other the fruit of their
experience in healing and detecting disease,
there can be little doubt that both they and
their patients will be promptly and practically
benefited. One of the first objects OF this
union, as stated by the President, DIR. Gross,
will be to establish a uniformity Of scien-
~ tifc nomenclature, weights, measures, and
"recorls of disease in all parts of the
civilized world for the medical profess
"son;n an object as useful as the cs-
tabshment of a universal language would be
in any other profession Papers designed to
cover the whole range of medical science, and
to give q comprehensive outline Of its present
condition; have been prepared, and there can
be no doubt that the discussions during tho
Congress this week will quicken investigation
and rouse many an indolent practitioner to at
least a knowledge of his own ignorance. But
the real advantage of this association is to be
sought hereafter and will greatly depend upon
the clOseness of permanent relations established
between sincere and Jealous men i'll the pro-
fession in different countries.


A majority of the most eminent OF Ameri-
can physicians are represented in the congress,
though not all. Several names are missing
which should have been there. No petty
, jealousy or personal antipathy TO public demon
stratons should hinder n member of this body
from taking part in a movement which must
ultimately elevate the status of the whole pro-
fession. There can be no doubt that in this
country it needs every eleyating influence.
We can, il is true, boast of some of the most
skillful surgeons ard learned pathologists in
the world there are few specialists, expert
merters at once bold and accurate, who have
contributed largely to the advance Of medical
science. But every honest man must ackuOwl


edge that the laxity and carelcssness of our
medical schools, the ease with which any igno-
rant muddlehead can cntille ehmselfto diploma,
has degraded the rank and file of the profession
below that of any other country. Members Of
