Fat Enough.

A Twenty-sixth ward citizen who
was raising fine hog in the rear of his
residence was notified by the board OF
health to remove the animal outside tho
city limits Not wishing TO move and
thinking the hog was not fat enough 10
kill, he sent word TO q colored man who
had q small farm In Montgomery coun-
ty to take the pig to his place until 1t
was fat enough to kill, agreeing TO give
one-half Of the carcass for his trouble.
Sam took the hog home, and the next
morning brought half of it back to the
Mansyunker.
"Why, SAM" said the owner. Il told
you to keep that hog until il was fat"
"He war fat enough for me, sab; dar's

ment which underlies all domestic poll
tical issues and is greater than any one
OF them, Benjamin Harrison deserves
unstinsed praise"
For Democratic paper to say that
President Harrison's impulses have
been sound and patriotic. his actions
wise, firm and spendidly American, >
and that ''he deserves upstinted praise, !"
is one of the best Endorsements that
President Harrison could ask for. Why
the people should be so short-sighted as
to turn man out of Office, who has
done more to build up American indus
tries and to perpetuate American insti-
buttons than any other man since Lin
coin, and put in his place man whose
every impulse is more foreign than
American, is one Of the mysteries that
is yet to be solved. The Sun says further:
eThere are cowardiy or time-serving
counselors in the Democracy, some Of
them men of high estate, who brutally
propose that the Democrats shall lie to
the country. Those persons get no en-
couragement from Mr.. Cleveland.
That wide-awake and able paper the
New York Advertiser, makes this COM
ment on the above:
''True, and let us be thankful there
can be no excuse for the failure of the
Democratic party to keep its pledges. 1t

will is absolute. all he has to do now.
being inspired and annolnted, IS to d.
rect. Protection, which is declared un-
constitutional must be wiped out; state
banks must be restored; the free coinage
of silver must be provided for; pensions
must be reduced; profiigacy must be I'M
known in our system; trusts and monop-
olies must be bound hand and foot and
delivered over to the people. All these
things Mr.. Cleveland and his party
stand pledged to perform.
"There can be no evasion or equivoca-
ton If the Cleveland party hopes to
maintain its supremacy. To lie to a
whole people would be shameful. To
make pledges with no intention of keep
ing them is base swindling The coun-
try is entitled to what it has demanded, ).
and Mr.. Cleveland has reconsecrated
and rededicated himself to the work
Let him proceed"
Almost every foreign newspaper re-
land. Why is this so? Because they
know that his administration is pledged
to tearing down the projection that sur
rounds American industries and opening
the American market to foreign products;
and that means an increase of capital
put into foreign factories; an increase of
employment for foreign labor and an in
crease of profit to foreign manufacturers.
1t means the building up of cities in
foreign countries and the tearing down of
cities in this country. Itmeans less pay for
American laborers, less food and clothes
for American children, less money in our
savings banks and less happiness and
to the American people. 1t
means that the managers of foreign
newspapers believe that Clevelands ad-
will be of greater value to
The people of other countries and Of less
value to those Of our own than Presi-
lent Harrison's administration has been.

him in the loss he sustained recently

ed the loss had provided the governor
with policy of insurance on his own

that the governor will return the policy

Criticism is the easiest thing in the
world to indulge in. Nevertheless a
good many people are laying themselves
open to the mild imputation by inquiring
why the legislature made an exception
of Ben Rich, the clerk of the Dunsmore
rump house, and allowed everybody
else connected with that farce full pay
fer time they served as alleged officers?
Rich was As much entitled to pay as any
other of the rump employees and should
have received the same rate of pay,

THAT RAILROAD BILL.

The following is the report of the
house conferees on the railroad bill
showing why the measure was not
passed:
We the undersigned conferees on the
part of the house upon the railroad bill
desire the people to know the following
facts:
The conference was held late Saturday
afternoon, March II. 1898, at which time
Senator Sem, chairman Of the SEN
ate conference committee, stated
that the senate conferees had but one
proposition to make, namely: They
would agree to every provision of the
house bill known as the Greelee bill ex-
cept the first section, (Which provided
for the election of railroad commission
ers by the people, if the house would
yield to that section. He stated on be-
half of the senate conferees that they
thought the Greenlee bill, while not as
satisfactory as their own, was yet good
bill; but he asked, as condition of its
acceptance by the senate, that the
house should abandon the first section.
This we refused to 30 for two reasons;
first, because the election Of commission
ers by the people had been demanded
by the platforms of both political
parties and had also been recon-
mended by the governor; second, be-
cause such action would have required
an affirmative vote in the house OF
majority of all the members and it was
wholly improbable that such vote
could be had at SO late an hour in the
session when large number of the MEM
bers had already gone to their homes.
All railroad legislation was therefore
lost solely because the senate would not
agree to the first section of the Greenlee
bill providing for the election of the
railroad commissioners by the people.

greater and more costly to the workmeD
than ever known in this country. Nor
is the condition over there without effect
over here. The stoppage of the mills re-
ferred to, accounts in large measure for
the falling off in our exports, notably in
cotton, for which cash, in gold, is sent
here in payment, the absence of which
latter leaves the balance in exchange
against us. But the war footing over
there is maintained and amplified as
though actual hostilities were in pro-

IT would have been a God-send
tor Arkansas if the last session of
our Legislature could have been dis
pensed with and the $4,000 it cost
Us, had been employed to set forth
our resources at the Worlds Fair.
Perhaps by the time for another
meeting we could have induced
enough sensible people to locate
with us that we might be enabled
to elect men who would, at least, do
us no harm when assembled as q
Legislative body.
