NO ADDITIONAL BURDENS.
The City Council Must Solve the Problem.
 Give Them Chance.

The French revolution, that gigan- tic political maelstr0m, swept away in one tremendous torrent the re- mains of mediaeval feudalism and the doctrine of the divine right of Kings" yet the great leader of that movemenet, who had stood fearlessly before the fire of foreign foes and sustained his courage among q hord of mutineers and had at all times the good of his country at heart was de clared Dictator" and was finally ostracized. Napoleon Bonapartcs opportunity for doing good or ding harm was no more potent than the opportunities of men who wear to- day s official toga.
 As was mentioned in yesterdays DAILY GRAPHIC, petition is in circu- lation to increase taxation. The bearers of that petition have not studied the results of the proposition that they encourage. It is simply a desire on the part of good and honest men to see our city take her stand in the line ofprogress and advancement We are in sympathy with any practi- cal proposition that will result in good to Pine Bluff, but we are diametrically opposed to encourag- ing any additional burdens upon the taxpayers of this city under existing circumstances. Mayor Bell says that this burden that is proposed will not in the least ieopardize the present condition of those who favor the ieYying an additional tax for city purposes. He says the burden will fall upon our pOstelity. Such doc Urine is worse than that taught by the Roman Dictator, Draco, who would force the observance of his measures upon 8 suffering people without the slightest inconvenience upon himself and his family, simply because he happened to be in power Great will be the same scorn upon a man who would leave a legacy to his worthy son or daughter plastered all over with debt and a promise to pay.
 The city of Pine Bluff is already the possessOr of ridiculous attitude in that an ordinance was passed by the city's lawmakers requiring every property holder to place a brick or concrete pavement along the side and in front of his home, yet the city failed to establish law-abiding example by placing such a walk around it's own property. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. In the wake of this unfulflled obligation follows another more threatening propositions: to levy tax to build a City Hall that will be a credit and not a disgrace to foundation of such a scheme. Reason has been dethroned. Enthusiasm reigns, and enthusiasm is akin to all passions that would set at naught the sedate and laudable desires of a jealous man and wreck the sincerity of patriot.
 Think of it Upon the very thres- hold of an introduction to manufae- turing interests that are seeking their way into our city comes a plea, prayer and proposition to choke in infancy industries that would build us up and give us increased wealth. No thoughtful man will plant q manufactory that before it begins to breathe will be inflicted

INTO NEW QUARTERS.
The United States Court of Appeal Meets
 in the Chicago Masonic Temple.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 15.=The United States Court of Appeals, which literally walked out of the Federal building a couple of months ago on the ground that the structure was unsafe and placed those serving in it in daily jeopardy, will be housed within the next twenty-fOur hours in safe and convenient quarters in the Masonic Temple. When the court decided that il would be unsafe to hold any more sessions in the rattle trap structure at Clark and Adams streets it adjourned to meet in Mill waukee. The law, however, requires that a certain number of sessions must be held in Chicago, and this law has been justified by the fact that most of the business claiming the at tention of the court originates in this city. The quarters reserved for the court comprises some eighteen rooms. of which twelve are on the fourth floor, three on the third and three on the fifth.

IN co lnting upon the support of repub. lican senators for the repeal of the Sher- man bill 1t must be considered probable that that support will only be given in case substitute bill more acceptable is offered. It is fully known that the Sher. man bill was regarded by it's creators as a make-shift- what they desired, but the best that they could, at the time, se- cure. If it is to be repealed it must be to make room for something better, more in accord with the desires of friends of a stable currency. The republican senators are masters of the situation, but they are nearly in sympathy with the expressed views of the president on currency mat ters, and will only stand for retaining all present safeguards against further silver imitation, until stronger ones are possible. They will follow the lead of John Shel- man, who as secretary of the treasury in trying times, and as leader in the senate for many years, has demonstrated. fit ness to lead. If the. Sherman bill is re- pealed, as it should be, something better will replace it. There is little doubt that within thirty days legislation will be as- sured that will vastly improve. the finan. cial situation,and beyond which the peo- pie will only say, as did Jeff Davis in the early days of the rebellion, 'All we ask Is to be let alone"

THE directors of the local agricultural societies are looking for blue times this fall and hardly expect to more than come out even,- if guaranteed good weather. The Eastern Conn. circuit, before hard times came to be so fully assured, voted to add $250 to the amount of trotting premiums paid by each society. All this is not, of course, an added expense, the amount of entry money exacted core spending in increase with that of the purses. The feeling of the directors of the Stafford Springs society is against any reduction in the amount of attractions offered. The usual expenditures will be made, and all effort exerted to secure the best possible results for the outlay. The premium list, with particulars of the com ing fair, is about ready for the printers. As heretofore, portion of the space is given to advertisers. Those wishing to avail of it's pages should leave orders al The Press office at once.

"NAyAHoE" is the name of the Ameri- can yacht now contesting with British craft in British waters, winning some races and beating most ef her competitors in all. The Navahoe is one of several American vessels to be tested for selec- tion of a craft to sail against the vessel which our English cousins send over to seek to recover the championship, now held for many years by American boats. Navahoe is the phonetic for Navajo. MT. Carroll, her owner, says that he prefers that the name be pronounced right rather than spelled right, and if he spelled it right half the people would pronounce it wrong.
