No. The Dispatch knows nothing about

In that body-Democrats and Republicans.
There are no Readjusters there except the

In effort to ferret out the guilty, squads OF
the citizens have been ready at the cost Of
any personal sacrifice to help the officers Of
the law. One act Of violence on the part
OF the property-holders would have been
sufficient to have thrown into wild con-
fusion the laboring classes in their I'M
settled state, and to have resulted in dire
calamities. And should not things go on
tremendously and successfully, according
to the indications OF the last few days, the
same calm course Of action will doubtlessly
be pursued by the property-holders.
Whether these more hopeful indications
will be carried out will be fully
tested when the season for plowing
opens. It will not till then be fully
shown whether all classes are going
to give their attention TO the industries OF
life, and peaceful relations be preserved
and prosperity restored. BIT the blowing
season seems now not near at hand, for we
are to-day in the midst OF the seycrest
weather we have had. The snow has fll-
len rapidly for several hours, and now the
freezing rain and sleet are pouring down,
aud loading the trees till cedor- and oak
bougbs are dropping gracefully TO the
ground. W.

that We did know. We ask him because
we would like 10 know. We would NC
pleased II we were able TO state upon his

we would like to be able 10 state that fact

What is the reason chat Mr.. RIDDLE

are three hundred thousand voters in Viz

suppose, be entirely willingto make known

THAT this meeting, having seen ndica-
lions i'm the press Of the country that it Is
contemplated 10 give q salary OF clj,0O0

that such an action il gross Injustice and

the part OF the members Of this Association,
we protest against the adoption OF such IN
object, and pledge ourselves 10y every avail
able means 20 oppose such salary being
granted, believing, as Wemost emphatically
do. that the royal family is already much
TOO costly. And further, we, representing

senimg these constituencies to refuse their

CINCINNATI, January 30.-Mr. W. H..
Baldwin, who has been inspecting the
sewers OF this and other cities under the
direction of the United States Census Blu
reau, has completed his work here, and to-
day gave some OF the results OF his exam
nation to press representative. lie says
that while he found IN excellent sewerage
system i'm some parts Of Cincinnati, il is very
filthy in otherportions OF the city. Where the
system is completed he found the sewers
well ventilated and supplied with large
flow OF water. There is large portion OF
the city. howcver-and il is one OF the most
populated districtS-that has never been
supplied with sewers. Mr.. Baldwin says
that the soil in this region is becoming slowly
poisoned, and before many years, ii sewers
are not provided, viii become bed OF the
most pestilcntial eXhalati0nS. This was
what happened in Memphis, and, though
sewers have now been constructed and
drain-tilcs laid under the streets at close
intervals. the soil had become so thoroughly
poisoned that il will be years, with the pre-
sent excellent facilities for draining the
city. before it will become wholesome
again. In Cincinnati the poisoning pro-
cess has gone on much more slowly, for The
reason that there is sub-Soil OF sand and
Gravel, while at Memphis the Sub-soil Is

ARKANSAS COLLATERALS

James Halfstop, in order to appear as
a bondsman, swore before Little Rock
Justice Of the Peace that he was worth
$4,000. Shortly afterward the Justice,
learning that Halfstop was not worth 20
cents, and that he lived on a rented
swamp farm, sent out warrant for his
arrest. The man appeared in court.
bringing with him his wife and two
boys.
"Mr. Halfstop," said the Justice,
"what have you to say why you should
not be committed for perjury ?"
Chow have I committed perjury?"
You swore that you are worth $780,
600, but the fact has been established
that you are not worth anything. This
is clear case OF perjury-so clear, sir,
that the penitentiary gate is opening to
receive you"
CT said," exclaimed MIR. Halfstop,
that I am worth $40, 900, and I stick
to it. Jim,' he added, addressing one
of his sons, "stand up before the Judge.
Now, sir, this boy is worth S., 600.
Hanged If I'd take that price for him.
Ned, my son, you stand up. Judge,
this boy is also worth 5000. Sue," he
continued, addressing his wife, "stand
up. Now smile for the Judge. Now
laugh little. See that, Judge! That
woman's worth $40, 900 if she's worth a
cent. That makes $4,000. Now I'm
worth S., -wouldn' t take that amount
for myself. But didn't claim to repre-
