GRANT talks
TO SUFFRAGETTES
Jackson Representative Making
Fight for Votes for Fair
Sex.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 25.—The
Woman’s Equal Suffrage advo
cates met in (the Camegie Libra
ry Friday night and far three
hours discussed their plans for
getting through the legislature
the bill which will permit women
to vote, and which has1 been pass
ed! upon favorably by the Consti
tutional Amendment committee oj
the house. They listened to sev
eral addresses upon the Commis
sion form of government and G.
L. Grant of Jackson, author of
the bill which asks for the sub
mission to the people of this
amendment, also addressed th©
women and few men present.
Mr. Grant is somewhat of a de
bater upon this question and
starts his argument from the
point of a big, lazy negro, with
out education or conscience 'be
ing permitted to vote while all
the refined, educated women of
the state are forced' to stay away
from the polls, without represen
tation in any form whatsoever.
Mr. Grant, as the author of the
bill, will make a fight for the
passage of the act when it comes
up in the house, probably next
week.

Men Make the Town.
Under the head “Men Make
the Toowm,” an exchange pub
lishes an article that impresses
one a^ being to the point, and it
is easy to understand why the
big town referred to is big:
In the first place it had some
bag man to set the pace. Big
men joined him and said, “We
can do it. ” Other good sized fel
lows caught the spirit and said,
“You bet!” Patriotic citizens
who had no property lined up
and said, “We cannot give any
thing, but we can talk.” By this
time the anvil chorus of the
knockers had been silenced and
all the little fellows had hunted
their holes. The town was on
the map.
People said,“This is a good
town, we want to stay here.”
Outsiders said, “That’s a live
town. Let us in.” But in the
meantime (there had been several
first class funerals. Old Colonel
Tightwad’s property had gone in
to the bands of his more pro
gressive sons. A few good1 fires
had ripped out the old rookeries.
Animosities had died. Jealousies
had been buried. And this is
why the big town is big.—Ben
ton Times-Courier.

A Story From Life.
“The housewife sang as she
did her (Chores and the*; music
floated1 around out dooms. Her
voice was far from the Melba
class; it wourtd droll a hole
through a pane of glass; the
words were fierce and! the tune
was worse, and she shrieked1 alj
thie end of ev^ry verse. The
judge was passing along that way
as he rode to count on. his knee
sprung bay, and he shook his
head and heaved a sigh, and
wiped a tear from his good left
eyie. “When a housewife sings
as she works,” he said, “then a
blessing resits on her faithful hea <
for her husband’® kind and her
children) good and peace illum
ines her negihborhoed. For
wives don’t sing if their hearts
are ®orc, if sorrow stand® at the
cottage door.” Then the. jurist
thought of hi® dwelling grand,
with pomp and riches on every
i_j . ,+lvo. -inmost! iwr/^rrwMn who

languished there, and filled! with
grumbling the perfumed air.
They did no work and they Rang
no songs, 'but wearied1 Mm with
their social wrongs; and the
judge indulged in another sigh,
and wiped a tear from his good
right eye.”—Exchange.

BUTLER’S RECORD
Boston Men Want No Statue of
the General on Statehouse
Ground.
Boston, March 24.—Major Hen
ry L. Higginson, Cod. W. B. Hallo
well, Moorefield Storey, James
Ford Rhodes and some others
whacked the military and private
•record of Gen. B. F. Butler, for
mer governor of Massachusetts,
ait a hearing today before a leg
islative committee on the propo
sition ito erect a statue of him on
the statehouse grounds.
Maj, Higginson spoke with evi
dent feeling. “It is exceeding
cruelty to Gen. Butler,” he said,
|“on the part of his friends to
seek this thinj^ again. All his
failures and disgraces are mat
ters of history. It is excessive
cruelty to ask us to help pay for
a statue. The war is, over, and
we are extending our hands to
our Southern brothers. It’s an
insult to our state, it’s an insult
to the inhabitants of this coun
try, it’s an insult to the odid sol
diers. I hope we shall halve no
more: statues to: boldiers.”
Mr. Rhodes, a historian, read a
brief summary of Butler’s war
record, ini which he gvae it a®
his opinion that a® ia general But
ler was1 incompetent. “Butler
used his position a® major-gen
eral,” said Mr. Rhodes, “to fea
ther his own nest.” He charged
that during hi® occupation of
New Orleans, he allowed his
brother ito carry on a trade of
great profit in cotton and salt
between the North and South.
“In 1862,” he said, “when But
ler went to New Orleans, he !was
Worth $lfe0,000. In 1868 he was
said to be worth $3,000,000.”
Mr. Rhodes said that he had
brought out these facts at the
hearing nine years ago and had
then said that unless refuted he
would include them, in the forth
coming volume of hi® history. No
refutation has ever been receiv
ed.
Col. Kallowell read an extract
from a speech by Gen. Kilpatrick,
delivered in Salem in 1868, in
which the speaker attributed the
following remark to General
Butler, a statement which Col.
Hallowell said had never been
refuted: “I am going to, Charles
ton to influence the democratic
party to put into their platform
the Dred Scott decision, and I
propose to fight it out "until I
can. buy and sell a ngiger on
the street® of Howell a® I can a
nmim ri nf f.ftft.”
Col. Francis S. Hesseitiine said:
“Lot uh have no more monu
ments in honor of any imam who
helped put down the rebellion.
Time would fail me if I were to
•tell all the reasons why a statue
should not he .erected to Gen.
Butler. I served under him.
What campaign, what battle did
he ever win ? Failure and defeat
is his record during the Civil
war”

To Solve Local Bill Issue.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March. 25.—Unless
there are legal complications in
the way, Mr. Neale of Pemry
counity, will solve the question of
ridding the General Assembly of
the many local bills which eiaeh
year take up (the time of the as
sembly. Mr. Neale has a bill in,
course of construction, which will
take from the general assembly
this power, and place it in the
people of the varahtts counties of
the state, making the county
court and county judge, the same
for each county as the legisla
ture, and governor now are to
the state.
He plans to take from the leg*
Lslature, tinder the Initiative and
Referendum, and give to th©
‘oucty levying courts the right
o form special school districts,
ind to permit drainage, levee
Had school districts to issue
bonds and borrow money. Ha
sill also provide for each coun
ty electing a county attorney.
Mr. 'Neale believes (that this
plan will solve the question en
tirely, and with the people as
dose at hand, there will be no
reckless granting of permission
bo districts to bond themselves.
The county levying court can
meet four times a, year, and this
will also avoid delay in legaliz
ing deserving enterprises.
