ANOTHER “HOT SHOT”
FOR THE SENATOR.
The power of the press is great
and Senator Patterson of this dis
trict is afi aid of the powers there
of. He has a bill before the legis
lature or will present one soon to
the effect that all papers run by
party or parties not possessing
sufficient amount of “this world’s
goods” that damages might not be
collected in case of a judgement, I
be required to give a gilt edge
bond. One of the papers of the
district thruthfullv states that the
average country uewspaper man is
lucky if he is able to get his week- i
ly edition out of the express office i
much less make a bond to the!
“would be politician” of the state,!
that he will keep his mouth shut
when the peoples rights are being
tampered with. We wonder what
the senator has done that he is!
afraid that the people will fiud out?
We wonder if he thinks that the
newspapers of this district will
find out something on him that
will be unpleasant to him to be re
peated? We really think that Mr.
Patterson could place his time iu a
way that would be more satisfac
tory to Lis constituents. He knows,
and every one else knows, that
whenever a newspaper opens its
“chops” about a man in public
life, especially one of Mr. Patter
son’s caliber, that it has good and
sufficient grounds for so doing.
Perhaps Mr. Pattersou is afraid to
attempt the stunt he played on a
former editor of the McCrory
News—that of taking a horsewhip
(and we have heard some people
say a pistol) and using it in a very
strenuous way. Perhaps he thinks
that every editor will not take it,
and he is right too. So he thinks
that he will put some of them out,!
of business by requiring them to
give a gilt edge boud that they
will keep quit. He might present
a bill to create a public censor and
place the papers of Arkansas on a
plane with those of Russia. As it
is we have a free country, but we
would not if we had a few more I
senators like he in the legislature !

THE ORDINARY WOMAN.
We have noticed, that among
the man}' prizes given by Andrew
Carnegie as a reward for bravery
and heroism, none have been,
awarded to women. Say nothing'
of the “ordinary woman.” Are1
women less brave than men? True,
the ordinary woman may be afraid
of a mouse, but her record for true '
heroism and bravery will compare
favorably with man.
She may not jump in front of a
runaway team to stop it or rescue
a friend from the fifth story of a
burning building, but. we have:
women right in this com mu nit}
who have exhibited more true hero
ism than any man wearing the
Carnegie badge of honor for
bravery.

SATISFY.
Many a soldier who bravely
stood at his post of duty for two
or three years during our Civil
War, is covered with badges. We
would uot take one from him, he
merits them; but many an “ordi
nary” woman has stood at her
post of duty for thirty, forty and
even half a century, fighting with
sickness, poverty aud discourage
ment, and true Spartan courage
kept the wolf from the door and
saved the lives of a large family of
children.
The man who saves one life re
ceives a prize for bravery, his pic
ture appears in the metropolitan
papers and he wears a medal which
says to the world he was brave.
And he was. But the woman who
has saved the lives of many is
given uo badge, and seldom ever
a word of commendation.
The husband of the ordiuan
woman has not the gift of making
money. He works hard but is a
poor manager and the wolf never
gets far from his door. The good
wife sews, cooks aud mends for
the man who does not even give
her a kind word for pay. One
has most truthfully said that for
each of her children she trod the
Gvthsemane of woman, only to go
thru that slavery of motherhood
which the woman endures who is
too poor to hire competent nurses
For years and years she never
knew what it was to have a single
night’s uubroken sleep. The
small hours of the morning
found her walking the floor with a
sick babe, or putting water to
thirsty little lips. There was no
rest for her day nor night. There
was always a child in her arms or
clinging to her skirts. Oftener
than not she was sick and nerve
worn and weary almost to death
but never failed to rally to the
call of “mother!”—as a good sol
dier always rallied to his battle
er}\ Nobody called her brave aud
yet, when one of the children came

down with malignant diptheria she
braved death one hundred times in
bending over the little sufferer,
without one thought of danger,
and when the little one was laid
away under the sod, she who had
loved most was the first to gather
herself together and take up the
burden of life for the others.
These ordinary women may not
reeeive a Carnegie badge for brav
ery, but “He who marks the spar
rows fall” will certainly reserve
for them the brighest jeweled
crowns in his kiugdom.
