GOOD FOR CUBA.
The Cubans may be somewhat
behind hand in many thinand
have anti(juated notions on many
subjects. They may be slow to
sec the necessity for streets and
sewers and sanitary measures,
at. 1 they may cling to the ancient
wooden plow in agiiculture and
the cane unite as an implement
of war, but they certainly know
how to treat criminals and scoun
drels, and they are not slow to
visit condign punishment upon
thieves. The conviction of
Neely, Reeves and Rathbono and
sentence to ten years each in the
penitentiary and the imposition
of tines on the trio aggregating
$127,181 is an evidence that in the
island thieves are unpopular.
These scoundrels not only robbed
the government of its revenue.
Idit they disgraced the people of
this country and tilled the land
with sickening humiliation.
Their punishment is justly due
and the publ.c will rejoice over
tho annoucement of their convic
tion.
|t i> hoped that no maudlin sen
timent will induce the president
of the Uuit'-d 'hates to take any
ji»*li»;:; . the matter, lhe con
Vie tod culprits have a great nniny
influential co-conspirators, who
are still honorable because un
convicted, and who will turn
every stone in order to secure
the pardon of the three found
guiltv in Cuba. If there is no in
terference in the findings of the
court until after the republic of
Cuba is established it is not like
ly that the criminals will he
shown any leniency by the new
authorities.
The criminal greed and rapacity
of those sent to represent our
government in foreign countries,
and particularly when under the
sheltering protection of AneV
itau arms, is one of our greatest
sips, and the only way that we
can disavow and repudiate such
conduct is by assisting in every
way possible the conviction and
punishment of those who do
wrong. —Commercial Appeal.

On a table near bis body was a

ing that his sister in Alabama be
sent a draft for $1,300 which he
had deposited with the hotel, and
that his body receive a simple

Little Rock. April 3. Llie l nil >d States senatorship for the
term beginning March 4. 1003, ma.v be regarded as a closed incident,
so far as the expression of a choice by the democracy of Arkansas is
concerned. Kx-Governor James P. Ciarke has a safe majority in tin*
next legislature over Senator James K. Jones. From the information
official and semi-official, now at hand, Clarke already has 21 senators
and 57 representatives, while Jones has 12 senators and 3S represen
tatives. Necessary to elect, on joint ballot <>s.
Two senators and live representatives an* unclassified, owing to
incomplete returns- The prospects are that Governor Clarke's total
vote will exceed SO.
Benton county was carried by Governor Davis and he is now ac
credited with To counties, and Rector with live. It is not thought
that this relative strength of the two gubernatorial candidates will be
changed when all the official figures are in.

How It happened.
’1 lie endorsement of Hon.
.1; mes P. Clarke for the United
Stales senate to sueceed Hon.
.lames K, .Jones by such an over
whelming majotity will be a .sur
prise to those who do not know
how it happened.
It was (amended that the sen
ator had one of the ablest men in
the state for his competitor, and
that some of tin* shrewdest, earn
pai /ners in \tkans;is were openly
espousing his cause. They felt
eonli I* nt of success, Imt never, at
nuy-taue of the contest, predic
u i a land-l ie foi their favorite.
1 lie hard hitti rs were in the
held against Jones. The young
vigorous Democracy ot Arkansas
wa> allayed against him. Two
l or three old friends, who had
been close to him from their boy
hood days, brought to bear every
iidlueice at their command to
compass his defeat.
d he governor of the state of
Arkansas threw himself into the
breach and made a tight that no
other office-holder seeking re
1 election ever made bt foie in this
state for another. Heretofore it
lias heeii the oustoni for a candi
date to look only to his own
affair and let others do the name.
Governor Davis, contrary to cus
tom, took the stump f >r (Jlaike,
and by letter and wne appealed
to his friends to vote for his fav
orite. Two weeks before the
election lie scattered broadcast
throughout the state thousands
of cards containing, over his sig
nature, this request : “vote for
James 1*. Clarke for United
Stales senator, lie is against the
trusts.” Without doubt this
changed a great number of votes
j from Jones to Ciaike. The man
: who managed the Clarke campaign
; diil as much to achieve the vic
tory as any one who took a lead
ling part in the contest. This was
Judge W. M. Kavanaug'i.
Night and day he was at the
Clarke headquarters, doing the
work of a general in command of
an army in action. Two weeks
before the election he said he was
pretty «ure that Clarke would
win. A week before the eleeti >n
he announced that Clarke was
sure of victory.
II is organization had been com
pleted. He knew every man
that was working fir Clarke,
how lie was working and what
his influence amounted to. The
day before the election Judge
Kavanaugh sail that Clarke
would carry not less than forty
rive counties, and perhaps more,
and that he could not be defeated.
His management of the Clarke
campaign was supeth and fault
less. This is how it happened.

I Mb t’A I bN I SIDb.
The Memphis Commercial Ap
peal truthfully says :
“A part of the count ry editor’s
individuality was lo>t when the
ready pi int companies began fur
nishing him with paper planted on
one side. It was a great piece of
economy, and it enabled him to
furnish his patrons a much larger
paper than when the type was all
i set by hand in his own office,
j Hut as the matter on the patent
-ide was selected tor general u c
by a large number of newspapers
he had no control over if, end it
did not represent his views or
taste. Part of his paper still ex
pressed his sentiment and con
tained his views; the foreign
printed part, of it was filled up
with matter much of which he
w < uid havo i ejected had it been
possible for him to do so.”
One prominent objection that
can be bad to tbe patent side is
' the editor who uses it lias next to
no control ot the matter it con
tains, and some times, perhaps
often, something appears on the*
patent side which the editor would
not use at all if he could prevent
it We remember but a few
mouths ago to have seen on ttie
patent sid * of a North Arkansas
paper an article which di I At knu
sas and the people of the state a
grave injustice, borne Yankee
galoot, had written a lengthy
sketch slandering Arkansas, and
it found its way into the Arkan
sas patent sides. \\ li.it a feeling
must have come over the Arkan
sas editors who used it. An all
home-bunt county paper suits j
tlie people best. Besides this j
face, an all hoiue-priut office j
proclaims its ability to attend to
its own business and ru > its own!
