From what has been said about II,
most people believe that there lie act
ually a surplus IN the City Treasury OF
$72,000, and If We mistake not n
Democratic paper OF the city glOrihed
its party that IL had been 80 economi-
cal as 10 save such q large surplus.
Well, now let US see where the eur
plus comes 10 at. On the first OF
April $73, 900 in city bonds were due
aud had to be paid. Council levied
and collected in taxes the amount to
pay off the bonde. In the meantime
1t was discovered that the Sinking
Fund act gave the commissioners the
power TO issue bonds TO raise that
amount oil money instead of the City
Council doing il. The City Council
then permitted the Sinking Fund
Commissioners to issue their bonds
and raise the S79, 600. but tho city is
bound TO pay II a the same. Then
the City Council had It's 1000 left
10 devote to the building OF an inter
cepting sewer. This may be called
surplus or It may go by any othel
name, but It must be evident to every
intelligent taxpayer that the $72,uo'
the Sinking Fund Commissioners hav'
negotiated comes in and takes tn,
place of the so.called surplus. Ate
all Is the city not $4,000 more II
debt than before the surplus was dis
coyered2

While the State OF Arkansas has
offered large reward for the arrest OF
the murderer of John NJ. Clayton, the
neople of Plummervile, where the
murder was committed, seem deter
mined that no guilty man shall be ar;
rested for the murder. The colored
man Smith ventured too far IN telling
what he knew about the guilty parties
and v as shot down in his tracks as he
was on his way home. vi course
others who know something about
Who murdered Clayton will calculate
whether they are ready to die before
thew volunteer any testimony with the
fate of Smith staring them in the face
MEANWHILE the Legislature OF Arkan-
sas Is busy gerrymandering the doubt

mo 40 that there will be no risks TO
run In the future and no necessity LOT
