Goveruor Tillman is not a saint, nor has he shown any mercy to his political opponents, but his reputation for integrity holds good among his neighbors. Until lie commits some act at .arienco with this reputation, it is a itab at his private chur e'er to make such injurious insinuations, and while he holds the position of Governor every thrust of this Kind reflects heavily upou the majority of the while people who placed him in that exulted oflice. Criticism of official acts is one thing, und personal abuse of an official is quite a different tiling. Charges of dereliction against officials arc right ami proper when they arc belioveu to be guilty, j hut suggestions of fraud and imposition in advance of any notion are scarcely within the province of reputable newspapers. Such insinuations as we are considering are calculated to keep our people apart forever. The majority resent this personal onslaught upou their recognize 1 leader, and iheir ears are closed to all appeals for unity and reconciliation.

The "finishing louche*" are new being put on Alderman J. D. Arthur's beautiful dwelling, and it begins to look like e little fair/ castle. Some people think it may be found too small in (A*/uture.but the Alderman wisely thinks that if he oan put up with the trifling inoonvenienee the publio surely ought to be willing to oomplaoently pass by and admire i's aohitectural beauties. Mr. L. N. Rodger is hauling brick and lumber and has commenced building his residence on the corner of Elm and Judgment | street*. Mr. W. JI. P?ol is building a neat dwelling on his lot on Elm street, next to Mr. Jos. Munro's dwelling. Dr. H. K. Smith is calling for estimates to build a neat dwelling on the corner of South and Moun win sireets, and wo learn he expects to commence building at once. Mr. II. L.

DICK, ) mi ?1 II EDUCATION OF WOMEN. fr< John lluskin says, "we have driven our ')] women mad, so (bat tfcey ask no moro for lore, nor for fellowship with us; but stand ta ngainst us, and ask for '*juslloe." ro One of the great ewents that will make this year, 1898, memorable forever, might ^ recently have been beheld in the Hall of a, Columbus, of Chicago's Art Palace, where, side by side, sat womea delegates, represeating a hundred societies from twenty j1 different nations. Spain and Greece, Ice- Cl land and Austria, Fin'aad and Germany, ti sent their wives and daughters to sit with '' their spiritual kinswomen of France, Etig- ? land and America, in a World's Congress of j renrrsentative women. ^ This Congress was divided into eight ^ departments, each with a Conference Hall. These were, education, industry, literature, d art, philanthropy, charity, moral and social p reform, religion, civil law and government, c scieuco and philosophy. This congress gave j a program of 78 meetings for the seven days ? spreading a fenet bewildering in it* extent and variety. wnen we rea.t tne papers and telling speeches of some of these representative women, earnestly and eloquently pleading for equality with men ; asking only for "a fair held and no favor ;"{and then, when we had from other souroes, that some of the young women who have bcea granted this 'fair fieid" are equaling and surpassing young men in science, as Miss Vary P. ( Dennis, lecturer on botany,, mineralogy and t geology, at Chautauqua, and Miss Thilippa 1 Fawcett, who lately outranked all the young J men at Cambridge University, and took the , highest educational honor ever won by a i , woman, wc arc constrained to admit that 1 woman's education has been kept too muoh , in the back-ground. , I rejoice that th:s relict of barbirism is , fast giving way and this enlightened age is i fast perceiving what a woman's life should , be. Woman's cause is roan's ; they rise and It is expedient that ours, one of the leading nations of the earth in civilization, should grant to womon their proper sphere ?a high, adorning, but useful education, 1 that will fit them to become the helpl meet and true companion of man. Some philosopher has said that womon, i always on tbc cxtromc, are eithcrbetter or ' worse than men. J Woman is a human being, end as such has . duties to other humnn beings. She must - show her respect to her country's laws, by 3 understanding and improving them. Why not take a higher view of politics snd a j broader view of what a woman's life should a be, and allow her to be conversant with the * political iesuos of the day ? She will then r see that the State does its duty rather than f spend her strength taking up its undone duties as matters of philanthropy. I verily ; believe that the suffrage of our noble eduj ca'cl women would be good for womno, i good for the home, good for the Stnlo and * good for the whole world, ? I was painfully impressed by the recent declaration of a minister and teacher, that "some of our higher institutions of learning * were ill qualifying our young women for 9 the grave and responsible duties of life." , Higher education should be practical, fitting i woman for the career for which she posess?s 1 aptitude. The Almighty makes no mistakes, and if , He endows tbe particular woman with an , aptitude for any art, ecience or profession, i she is as much entitled to it as the particular ' man. Vet it will always remain true that men as a class are better fitted for breadj winning than woman. And till the end of the world the woman's real crown of glory , and her highest distinction must be mother3 hood ; and for tbo simple reason that the world must always depend upon women for t its mothers. I Wl? ? 1 i oate woman to become the intellvctual as well as the sooial companion of mao, then, ' and only then, will the'r high purpose be accomplished. N. Q. L. 1 For tbe Times. ' Old Joe Comes Again. Fort Smith, Ark., June 22, 1893. Editor Times:?I have been thinking ' quite a while that 1 would write you, and now make the attempt. Just now merchants are complainiug of a dull reason, but think that trade will liven up some the next month. ( termors are ganeralty rejoicing over the , prospects of good crops. C >rn is good, but j would hnvfc been better if there had not been too much rain. (Jits are very fine. r Cottoa very good and generally in good condition. The vegetab'e crop cuts nn important figure in farm operations hereabouts. Strawberries aie raised in great abundauce, and always bring good prioes. One little farmer in two miles of this place claims to have made $3,000, clear profit, cn 30 acres planted in strawberries, and others iu like pro5 portion. Irish potatoes is also a paying ' crop, and finds ready sale hero in Fort 1 Smith. Many will tell you that cotton has 9 besn the "kuss" of this country. The "Arknnsaw hooeier"i s not above the 9 average farmer in intelligence Like the 5 great ii ajorily of the tillers of the soil, he has learned to take life mighty easy. Fort Smith is just now in a nervous mind, 1 and bending her energies to secure a new 1 railroad running north and south, and 9 tapping the Qulf of Mexico. To miss this read, is to kill the oity, as many thiok. 1 Private subscriptions aro being taken and 1 pushed with inuoh vigor. One of the lending banks have subscribed $5,000, others will no doubt follow in like proportion. Arrangainento are also being made to put 9 on electrio street car servioe. With these ' additions the oity looks for better times to ' come. 9 It is against the ooostitution oftbetttet* ' to levy a tax for tbo butldtng fff rttTTOads. ' All necessary help must eome through pri. vate subscription. Few people on earth like frolic and merri9 meat bitter than the people of Fort Smith. 1 Wo have it hero in various forms. The opera is crowded on almost every ocoasion, and the occasion are quite frequent. Vase ball is played about three days in the week, - ana such crowds ? do go cut and pay their i "two bits' to tsee the sport. The winning f parly gets, I believe, two-thirds of the gate - fees.

Fowler, upon the working of tho Dispensary law us it now stands : Question?What do you think of the Dispensary bill ? 0,Answer?Well, that is a great deal asked x in one'question. But upon the whole 1 will say thai 1 am in favor of the bill?mainly, because I hope that in the end it will bring about a strictly prohibition law. ^ Ques.?What do you think of the provisions, and the general bearing of the bill, as it stands now ? Ans.?I prefer it to the old way of dealing out whiskey; boeauso the profits arising from the sales go to the State, (or onc-htlf of it will.) and, therefore, help tho tax paycri to some extent. Of course, 1 mean thoy wi.t get part of their money back, and 1 hope we wi'l have less drunkenness. but there are many and serious objections to the bid. 1 dislike to see any disfranchising tendencies in the bill which the Legislature can and should remedy. In the first plnce, the iucorporatcd cities and towns have no just right to half the profits. It should go to the people, because the people worit for und make it, and the people of the citiuB nnd towns are on'y entitled to an equal chanoe in tbe race of life, and not to any special favors. Again, every officer created uoder the Diapeusury act iu appointed (1 - ffcw should be left to tbe people of tbe several It can be used in tbe interest of those who are in office at the time of eleoliou. Too appointee is above the peopto and only res(tangible to the appointing power, and, to a great extent, the voieo of the people is silenced. Tho bill it<olf is proof that when the riirhta of ill a m>nnln ma ilalamttnd in ??<? ! ?/. or a few people at most, their voice is not heeded, strictly. Had the voico of the peopie, as expressed by their ballots at the lost H election, been heeded, we would have had prohibition instead of the dispensary law. do, I think toe L-gisluture "went back on the peop'o" when it refused to give thetu prohibition. It was the white people who asked for prohibition ; but instead there- f i they gave them a scorpcu, in thu way of tho Dispensary aot. (dues.?Do you think it is open, to or offords a chance for fmud? Ans.?Web, of course, I dent think it will he hsnd'oi dish mostly at all; but you know the people would not bo as safe if the treasurer had the power to appoint tho auditor over the people as ttiey are when the nu-iiior is put in or disp'aeed by the people?one chocks the other; and 1 am in favor of letting the people elect every oflVoer in the government, from the road overseer to the President of the United States. That is one of the brighest planks in the plnlfurtu of the Reformers. Ques.?Do you think (ha* if tho officers under the Dispensary law were elootel that the colored voters would control ? . , Ans.?No. That is an old fighting rents edy, to whip the white voters into line. If they could eleot their Dispenstry officers they could elect their own Legislature. But they cannot, and don't iuterfere with tho elections. The whito primary settles that. Briefly, the injustice of the step ihat ten Is to lake from the people the only meant of government control, either Slate or National, the ballot, is plain to be aseu, wilt mortify the pride of a'l those who believe in eon it w* rights. They caonot wil iiiely tuppori such fMUMH or defend Its flag. Therefor?, the people should be consulted an I doolie by tbelr ballots who should fill the oAoes of our country. I think the foun'tera of our government intended that the Statos should have the right to manage their own affairs, to a great extent, and 1 contend that the constitution of the United flutes should bo ae amended that no fltatc can take the ballet from any of hor citiicna, unless it be for orime.
