the contrary, he says we can pro-
duce salt as good and as cheap as it
can be produced anywhere else in
the world-but because there is an
absurd prejudice among certain con-
sumers in favor of English salt.
He seems to think that the interests
of the Americans engaged in salt
making in this country should be
sacrificed to this unfounded preju-
dice of Anglomaniacal salt users,

SHALL FOREIGNERS CONTROL
THE ESTHMUSf

A recent dispatch from Paris
stated that the French Government
was likely to pass favorably upon
the proposition for government aid
to the completion of the Panama
Canal. So many thousands of thrift
ty French families have invested
their moderate savings in the scheme
that it would be popular move
ment on the part of President Car
not's administration to go to their
relief. Should the French Govern
ment finish the canal the work,
when completek, would, Of course,
be under French control. The canal
would be a French waterway as
much as the Welland Canal is a
British Canadian waterway.
Let us see what that would mean
for the United States. In the event
of trouble with any South Ameri-
can or Asiatic power, necessitating
the transfer of naval vessels from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, it is pos
sible that France might conclude
to close the canal altogether to an
American feet. In the trouble with
Chill, French sympathies have I'M
doubtedly been with the Chilians as
against the United States. France
is the champion of the notorious
Dreyfus claim, which Balmaceda re-
fused to entertain, and the French
Government, by withholding for
several months the surrender to
Balmaceda of the Presidente Pinto
and Presidente Errazuriz, made it
possible for the Congressionalists to
succeed in obtaining their present
supremacy.
Therefore France would have been
no friend to the United States had
war been the result of the contro-
versy with Chill. The interests of
France are just as liable to contra
vene those of the American people
in the future as in the Gillian af-
fair, and it would be intolerable
that France should control the
means of transit from one to the
other of the oceans that wash the
shores of the United States.
The Nicaragua Caual, a thorough
ly American enterprise, should be
pushed forward to completion, and
then it would not matter who con-
trolled the Panama canal.-N. Y.

FREE-TRADERs have liked moth
ing better in the past than to paint
terrible pictures of how the "robber-
barons" are growing richer daily at
the expense of the poor taxed con-
sumner. In view of the fact that the
present "reform" Congress intends
to inaugurate its piecemeal pro-
gramme of destroying our industries
by making wool free, this argument
now becomes very interesting and
instructive, as showing the honesty
of Free-Trade assertions. The first
"robber- barons," the first million
aire monopolists in protected indus
tries, who have awakened the
righteous indignation of the great
party of reform" are the farmers
outstanding their fiocks on the hills
and prairies Of the West. That the
farmer, for whom in the past "re-
formers" have expressed SO much
solicitude as being the principal
sufferer by our ubiquitous system OF
Tariff-taxation," should now be
pointed to as the leading example
of the "bloated Electromagnetic y
is striking commentary on Free
Trade honesty. And, while the
shibboleth of free wool may WORK
with the few "free raw material
manufacturers who believe in Pro-
lection for their own product and
. Free-Trade in everything else, ii
will prove a double-edged sword
with all farmers and wool-growers,
whose principal means of support
free wool would destroy.-Economis

IT is amusing to see the Demo-
ocratic Congress wrangle over the
adoption of their new set of rules.
Two months have passed, and all
all they have done is to try to
avoid adopting the sensible rules Of
the last House. Reed bobs up Sc
renely every once in awhile, and
his Republican colleagues stand by
him in defending the old rules.
There is disposition to give the

The town sltc of Forrest City
 the county seat of St. Francis county, was surveyed and laid off on March l, 1869, by J. c. Hill, the then county surveyor. The land on which 1t stands belonged to tho lzard and Prewett families, and the first store was opened under the firm name of Izard Bros. & Prev. cit. F. M. Prewett was the first person to settle and build upon the present town site, which was then covered by heavy growth of pop lar umber. This residence, a two. story frame building, still stands on Rosser street in the southern portion of town, now occupied by
