In This as well as IN the relative strength of
the cities comparison Is made with Eastern
cities where hydrants are fixed at an average
distance OF 200 yards apart. In San Francisco
tie MIGRANTS are from 1900 10 1000 feet asunder.
TAXES CONSIDERED.
The objection that more MIGRANTS will Increase
the revenue Of the Spring Valley Water Works
should not stand in the way Of giving this city ade-
quate fire protection. The matter OF fixing water
rates comes annually before the Board OF Super
yisors, when the income to which the company is
entitled may be passed upon. The additional rev
enue afforded by the hydrants may afford
ground for reducing the rates of private consumers
and when reductions are made they should clearly
be in favor OF the private consumer, as it seems
clear to US that an equitable distribution Of
rates would require that the city should pay
larger proportion OF the water rates collected from
benefits resulting from an adequate water supply is
the fire protection afforded to buildings containing
under cur present water rates, a poor man is
charged as much for water for his family as is
the owner OF this building on Its account. Property
should be made to pay its proper share for water,
which IL does not now do.
WHAT THEY WANT.
The Grand Jury also notes that many telegraph
and telephone wires, particul arly in the business
section OF our city, are con slant impeachment to
the streams of water and the raising of ladders To
overcome the latter difculty the department should
be supplied with a full set OF Skinner a Bangor lad
ders
In conclusion respectfully ask your kind per-
honorable Board of Supervisors. and we would most
respectfully urge upon that honorable body to i'm
medlatey order the Board OF Fire Commissioners
10 increase the department by least ten steam en-
gines, three trucks and at least 10000 additional
feet OF good cotton hose. Also to have PLACED in
such portion Of the city suggested by the Chief
Engineer at least 1900 more MIGRANTS andJ would
also urge the immediate formation OF some plan by
which the present department be made full
paid one. Ali OF which is respectfully submitted
C. II. LIVINGSTON, Foreman.
II. J. HART, Secretary.
The Spring Valley Water Company has notified
the Grand Jury that il Will erect all the hydrants
required by the Fire Department at the actual
cost OF setting, and viii not collect any money
Tor their use until SIX months after setting when
the rate allowedby law Will OF course be charged
on each hydraDt.

TIiE original package" decision has bccm construed in both Kansas and Iowa as not in con ilict with the state law on prohibition. At the opening of the court at Nevada Iowa. on Wc,lnes- day, Judge llindman. in his charge to the grand jury. gave the original pack age business Il black eye in this section. He charged them that notwithstanding the late decision of the United States Supreme Court no person has right in that state to keep place for the sale ot intoxicating liquors of any kind, either in original package or other wise. and that it was the sworn duty of the jurors to report to the court by indictment any person engaged in keep. ing any such place. without regard to where such liquors came from He takes the ground that the state has the inherent right to prohibit and abatc naisances and punish persons engaged in maintaining nuisance within its border. and the question of interstate commerce has nothing to do with it :; that the keeping of place for tho sale of liquors :,S Il beverage is nuisance. whether dealt out in original pack age 'or some othel way. and that the late decision Is not in conflict with this view. .-EX.

A MISERABLE EAlLU nE.


 Mfr. Featherston impracticablc scheme for lending government money Jas if the government had any money not taken from the people through tax ;,tion of some kindD on real estate security is afforded a good illustration in the history, collapse and disastrous results of the old Real Estate Rank Vf Arkansas. Some forty years ago the state tried this very experiment and it is still suffering from tie unfortunate consequence.
 It established bank ut Little Rock. with branches throughout the state. one of which was at Batcsville. To obtain money for tue bank. the state issued it's own bonds. at six per cent. interest: and this money was loaned to the farmers, secured by u mortgage on their lands. The result was soinevita- ble that it suggests itself. It's funds exhausted, the bank failed, and part of the state debt which this generation is paying. is the debt contracted by the state, by issuing it's bonds to raise the capital for that bank. The accumulat- cd interest is equal to the principle: and tt is being paid by persons who never received one solitary cent of bSsle- fit from it. X few land-hol,iers gut the money, and for forty years the incubus of the attendant mortgage has hovere,l oyer some of the finest land in Ark ansas some of it in Independence county.
 One such experience as that is enough. The experiment brought dis aster to all connected with ito the sta le, to the bank and to the borrowers. And. with sucl experience in x single state. who can measure the sum of its siisasterous results if it were applied ta the country at largey The government must raise money in the same way--by creating debt. which some time must l,e paid. It must lend 1t in the saue way. and the same results must inev. itably follow. The scheme is ruin and folly -Batcsville Guard.

TIME FOR oRoANlzArloN.

WE think the time has come for definite action on the part Of the people in regard to compro- mise. In looking over last week s issue Of TiIE TIMES we find the following in the proceedings of the democratic con vention:
 Moved by Geo r. Taylor that Col. R. w. ltevey. as Chairman of the Commit tee appointed to submit proposition to . Union Lalor committee of seven make his report at this time to this convention.
 Carried.
 Report of committee. as submitted. was as follows: The Union Labor committee were not authorized to take any definite action on the democratic proposition, but had promised to let the Democratic party know. in writing. what they werc willing to do in the matter by tho 10th inst. He had been since informed that 1t would probably be the 2ist before they could give an answer shat would l,e authoritative. lie had been, also. informed, not direstfron the committed. however. that the Union Labor party would not accept the democratic proposition but would submit proposition to this effect: that the Union Labor party recognize three political parties in this county. the Union Labor, the Republican. and the Democratic parties that they would propose that a committee of seven be appointed from each of these three parties that these three committees come together, and, as a county convention of citizens, select from the white people of the county, candidates for all the county offices.
 If the proposition comes to the democrats in sucl, shape. We can safely say, now. that it will M rejected most empl,atically. And we find that the bright hope of compromise which was entertained three weeks ago has faded into an awful doubt. Be this as it may. to-day Is the last day of grace. The Union Labor people have promised to submit their proposition, whatever it is, to-day. If Il fair one, we strongly urge its adoption: otherwise the time is come for organization in our demo- cratic household. and the executive committee should get together and map out a line of work. A wide awake campaign committee should bc selected clubs should be organized, speakings should be arranged, barbccues should bc had, and enthusiasm aroused in our county. The time is short and passing quickly to the day of election. Let mol the thief of time, procrastiuation longer lead Us to wider separation and final defeat.

A GOOD >,,ow

Below wc give the names of he dele gates from the various townships whn were in attendance "Wednesday the l lth inst. on the Democratic County Con vention. IL shows that the democracy of St. Francis county Is composed of good, solid citizens; it shows, too, that young men ough, not to become dis couraged vt the troubles the party is now undergoing. for there are many gray hea,ls xealously supporting the Democratic party to-day. These men
 have consistently stood by the party for. from ten to fifty years; they have unwaveringly given their best et- forts to the Democratic party, stand ing by it in war and in peace, in vic tory and in defeat, and during all these yicissitudes of political fortunes and misfortunes, they have found nothing to drive them from it's ranks, but are ze.,lously giving the matsired experience of lifetime in their old age to the fmtherance of its pure. unadulterated Jeffersonian principles. They are noble men, stsrnly and confidently doing battle for those grand democratic principles which have secured ard guaranteed to the American citizen his life, his property, his liberty. and the pursuit of happineess, for more than a century. We present their names 10 show the people of the county that the Democratic party is brimming full of honor, integrity. uprightncss, and re- s,ectability. Read and be convinced.

UNION LAnOn CONVENTION.
\ Full Ticket ia the Field.


 The Union Labor party of Arkansas met in the state house at Little R,ck Tuesday, June 10th, ls0. Thirty three counties were represented. out of seventy-tive in the state.
 The following state ticket was nomi- mated:
 For governor-N. E. Fizar. of White.
 For secretary of state--J. NJ. Pit man, of Nevada.
 For auditor :. Jones, of Nevada.
 For state treasurer--T. ]. Andrews, of White.
 For commissioner of agriculture--G E. Farmer, of Faulkner.
 For attorney -general-T. r. Cham bers. of Pulaski.
 For supreme judgc-W. X. Coody, of White.
 For superintendent of public instruc- ton Thomas Nj. C. Birmingham, of Franklin.
 The candidates were all nominated by exclamation. Every body seemed to know just what had to bc done. Every thing was harmonious; there was no disputing. Every delegate knew just what and how things had to be done. and to offer an objection, or even suggestion would have disar- ranged every thing, and violated a pre- vions understanding. One delegate would nominate candidate, another would second it. and third would move that it be done by acclamation. This routine was repeated till all the candidates were nominated, no opposi- lion or enthusiasm was displayed, at all, showing conclusiycly that there is a power unseen vibrating behind the throne and that that power had given positive instructions to the convention ;,s to what il must do.
 Morgan. Il prominent member of the party. stated to the convention that the Union Labor party was greatly dis organized, and if the party did any thing they would have to go to work in good earnest.
 We prophecy that when the political antecedents of all the candidates are known, it will R learned that their records are sufficiently tinctured with republicanism to render them tooth- some and palatabIe to the Republican party. Their candidate for state treas urer would make sweet morsel for the Clayton gang to gulp down. 0lsut no matter who they arc, the democracy will snow them under in September, though tt is early fur snow at that time.
