A Great Popular oyciopsdia.


 The third volume of Alden's Mani field Cyelopedia, a marvel of condensed information. covers the alphabet be- tween the titles Artemisia and Bap- tisia. There seems to be little doubt that 1t will prove to be the great popu- lar CyclOpedia for the next score of years al least. The embodiment of an Unabridged Dictionary of Language and a complete Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge in one work. in large type. with thousands of illustrations. and all for a price less than people have been used to payina for dictionary alone. is not only novelty in plan. but to the ordinary book buyer the fact is hardly less than astounding. Its accomplish ment will certainly be creditable t0 Alden's Literary Revolution. As to the quality of the work. both literary and mechanical, any common-sense reader Is capable of judging. The volumes received at this office which any reader is welcome to call and ex- aminel are certainly deserving of the unstinted praise which they seem to be receiving. The venerable Prof. Dav of Yale College, speaks of the work in the following emphatic terms: The book in all respects more than answers my expectations. It is very neat volume, of form convenient fJr use.

TIE following dispatch comes fr,,, Dubuque, Iowa: The managers of tta Granger railroads doing business in Iowa have been caught in a iaIly s,,.,. ' The pOstoiiice department is after tbesa with sharp stick. Not lang sza they gave a Des Moines paper sn order for 2JO.000 eight-page surria mentS, seven columns to the bags These supplements contained tbe steHo9rapiic reports of the speeches If tue railway managers before the lsgis. lailEe committee. arguing against fhe passage of the radical measures uand- ing .a tts senate and House. 'fHasA documents were sent out to the dajIv and weekly papers in the State tba{ were not specially in favor of the nro' posed measures. and the proprietoTs oF a large number of these papers sent them to their readers folded in fhs regular issue. The postofiee depart. meHt has dropped down upon tho newspaper men who circulated thpsa supplements as secOnd-class matter and demands from them cents uOstage for each supplement circulated. ts the entire 250 .0o0 have been circulated the postage bill will amount to g .500 which sum the railroad managers viii have to pay. The bill of the parer that printed the supplements was E. 23i. which. added to the postgge claim, aggregates $9,734, which t6e railroad men must pay for the prigi. lege of placing their views before the public, to say nothing of the sums paid to the newspapers for circulating them.

 PROF PEoCToK's Column of Sci enee and logic" ia his attack on lotter- ies aud games of chance was knocked square on the head by his statement that he never bought but two lottery tickets, and that they both drew prizes. It is generally the case that the fellow who fails to get a prize is the one who 'cusses' out the concern. However, it may be that the professor drew large pile, and wants 10 scratch up the nest before he las a chance to lose il all. We don't mean to indorse the chance business, but his science and logic kinder makes us think little yoH nucw.

WELL if Jake Sharp, the New York boodler, is dead, 1t IS all right, for two reasons. First, it is better for Jake; and second, it will relieve several very prominent persons from serious endorsements that would certainly come in the way during his trial. How kind the good Lord is, even to the NO st kind of sinners. But as Jake has passed in his checks We will drop him and wait, just for the fun of the thing, to s"e how his pals come out, TIE TINES takes the liberty here to state that this is Il very furious world' but at the same time acknowledges that it is unable to suggest any ma terlai improvements.

CITY COUNCIL

The cify council met Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. All mem- bers present, Hon. O. B. Rollwags presiding.
 The minutes of last meeting were read and approved.
 The bonds of the municipal off fcers were lad over until next meeting for approval.
 The following committees were announced:
 Streets and alleys-Izard, Cole and Stone.
 Finauee-Stewart, Ingram and Izard.
 ordinance-Cole, Stewart and Stone.
 Claims-Stone, Ingram and Cole.
 Fire dcpartment-lngram, Stone and Stewart.
 Printing-Izard. Cole aud Stone.
 The election of city attorney, and also a street commissioner, was postponed.
 On this subject Mr. Cole said he d,d not approve the present system of street work, nor the employing of a commissioner to supervise two or three men; he was in favor of reform and economy. He favored ienclng the cemetery. He- reeommend' d all work done to be permanent and first-class Temporary work Is an expense and no benefit.
 Col. Izard spoke Tn the same channel.
 These men are evidently sound in their views.
 The marshal was instructed to procure a list of all names of men who are llabIc 10 street work.
 The court house was selected as tae place, and the first and thlrd Tuesdays m each month at 7:30 p.m.. the time for the regular meetings of the council.
 The mayor said that all munlci- pal ffieers' salaries were fixed ex- cept that of city attorney, and recommended that the salary Of tha! off ce be fixed. Action post poned.
 Mir. Cole then spoke of the clty ordinances. He said there is not all ordinance in our book which would stand in the circuit court. That when a case came up and the mayor found an ordinance to cover the case he would turn to another page and find it had been repealed. He recommended their revision and printing in pamphlet form. Said the present book was q disgrace, or words to that effect
 Col. 1zard also spoke of tho ordinances, and favored their re- vision.
 The election of board of health was next taken up. Drs. Stone and P. VanPatten asd Messrs Jas. Russell, George W. Pearson and $. C. Wilson were chosen, with in- structions to elect their own chairman.
 Bills of the judges and clerks of election were presented and sl- lowed sl.50 each. they claiming one and one half days. J. T. Fondren. for poll book, was allowed sl 25.
 T. o. Fitzpatrick, for services, was allowed 50 p.
 Owing to court occupying the court house at the time of the next meeting, and an unwilling ness 10 longer accept hr. NiI- iiams' office us q place of meeting, for fear of imposition, the council were invited 10 hold their next meeting at the office of E. l.. Vadakin, and the invitation was accepted. The council then ad- journed.
 1t gave us great pleasure 10 at tend the meeting of the councll. We are glad 10 see this council has awakened 10 the fact that the ordinances are a shame to our clty. Proud 10 see them already devising ways and means to place our city where 1t belongs, and giving 1t tho reputation It deserves of being the Paradise of Eastern Arkansas. May they go on in the good work, and may they be en- couraged by the citizens generally.

How strange it is that the New
 York Tribune is not particularly in love with MT Cleveland. We have been told that the Tribune never did love the president, but we were not certain that our information on that point was correct. That astute jour- nal says that the river and harbor bill and several other measures are being sanctioned by the executive, merely because this is a campaign year, and breathes out this assertion with a big grunt' and leans hack in its easy chair with the seif-satisfaction that It was the first paper that ever made such an accusation against president
