The old idea that the majority rules Tn tbis country can no longer have any place i'm the minds of the intelligent people. The spectacle of minority in the senate holding the majority at bay and stavlhg off a vote on the repeal bill is not pleas ing one to those who have been foolish enough to think the majority rules Tn this free country of ours.-Helena world
 Occasionally the World stumoles upon a crum5 of truth and sandwiches it into it's columns of twaddl'. Such ot- cassions, however. are very rare. ana when such an acident does befall the World, it fails not to so twist and be- fuddIe as to completely disguise the truth; unless, indeed, 1t be toone who is it's constant companion. The old idea that the majority rules in this country can no longer have any place in the minds of intelligent people. says the World. and we at once recog- nize most solemn and painful truth. A truth which should bring blush of shame to every true and patriotic Amer ican. A truth which in d thousand ways djsgraces our country. ensiaves our people, destroys our patriotism. de priyes the masses. enriches the classes. and brings woe and suffering to our tiresides. Is it not a shame that the World did not stop at the llrst full point What treason to truth to SD un- dertake to blaehen is by what follows the language we have just quoted, Among the many and amusing assev- erations of the long-naratived writer for the World none have been more palpably unjust, or grossly idiotic. It undoubtedly indicates that the afore- said of the World believes the handful of Senators who favor the uncondl- tional repeal of the Sherman law, are d majority "in this free country of ours" We have great pity for the small-calbred, narrow-minded near sighted bigot which refuses to see and acknowledge that the senatorial minor ity is the popular majority. (which should rule) and that it is the major ity. represented by minority in the Senate which has been compelled to resort to every known code of plead ings and practice to subdae the popu- lar minority represented by majority in She Senate and prevent them from inflicting anaconda currency laws up on the already bankrupt and starving millions.

The business men of the country as rule are opposed to the free coinage of silver They have looked into the situa- ton carefully and can form pretty ac- curate idea of it's effect upon our flnan- cial and commercial interests. On the other hand. it is possible that majority of the farmers and aborers are in favor of free coinage. While there are many thinking men among the latter class, the workers of the country they are not as a general rule. nor can they be expected to be as well informed on such matters as business men. Few of them have reason ed out the matter for themselves and the reason so many of them favor free coinage is simply because they would favor most anything the other class opposed The business men and the moneyed men are regarded by the other class as their natu- raj enemies, and that the former is opposed to free coinage. is sufficient reason to many of the latter for fayoring it. When it comes to questions of financial policy af- fecting the welfare of the entire nation. we may well rely upon the good sense and sagacity of our business men for proper and wise solution of the matter.- Helena World.
 From whence does the World learn that the business men of the country as a rule have d monopoly on thought and information, and are opposed to the free coinage of silver? No doubt he has dreamed this after reading some of the petitions sent mp by the boards of trade throughout the country. But will anyone say that a majority of the business and thinking men of the eoun- try belong to these boards of trade The fact is that a very small percent age of the business men have made any public ex presson on this question. and of those which have expressed them selves a majority personally favor free coinage, and thousands throughout tine land, represented by these same boards of trade, have confessed that they did not know what was best for the coun- try. The remainder of the article re. produced above is a fair sample of the insults offered to all who differ with the average gold bug" The farmers and laborers are doing some of the thinking nowadays, and they think among other thinks, that the Demo cratic party had better redeem its pledges as laid down in the platform.

1t is the policy of the single standard men to force everything before them. If they succeed in unconditional repeal which means no more silver money. and the doubling of debts. they will make d strong fight against any tariff reform; and everything now indicates that they will succeed. We believe Cleveland to be strong tariff reformer. Let us see if his friends in the finan- cial fight will be so clamorous to up- hold the administration in tariff re- form.

This is one of the most interesting tabulations we have ever seen and and ought to be studied by every pa friot. Our friend Charles Gordon Newman, of the Pine Bluff Commercial. In discussing the same subject also ap- pears to overlook the main fact. that She per capita, and the circulation Der capita are quite different. and falls into the popular error. The Commercial says: "The hoarding. which did so much to make money scarce, was not done by the large capi- talists. but by the mass of people or moderate means. The men whose transactions ran up into the thousands knew well enough that the withdrawal of deposits from sound banks would not promote safety; it was the small depositsrs who acted most unreasona~ bly,. The whole currency of the Uni- ted States is said to be only S24 per capita, and it is therefore apparent that if every citizen should hoard S24 there would be no money in circulation {. Everybody should pay small bills promptly. That is what keeps money moving in the hands of the people. Large transactions are done by drafts and checks"
 There is something ludicrous in the Announcement that the per capita is SPA; that men who owned thousands of dollars, that is to say, many multiples of the per capita, were not parties to the scheme of hoarding, and that the mass of people of moderate means were She ones who did the hoardlng and that all of these people boarded $24 GentlemeD.you are both wrong. As far as the per capita is concerned it might be sufficient for all purposes were it not for the fact that 10000 persons have per capita of millions of dollars, while millions of people have a per capita of less than ten thousand dollars. Besides the government HseH Keeps large snare or the per capita locked up ill the vanlts of the treasury, and this amount cannot be considered in any sense part of the circulation. And it is a notorious fact if the wealth has been boarded the lich have done the hoarding. The Com haelc ought to know that there is scarcely respectable number of per. sons in the land who own s24 much less are they able to hoard it. Money has been hoarded no doubt, but there are many other more potent req. soDs for hard times, few of which are: The credit system, which has learned so many to indulge their de. tites to an extent for which they can

 which of course weare all duly thankful. Populist theories do not flourish well on Phillips ceunty soil and the citizens here have not been worried by any talk from these people. if we may except Bro Car nahau. who favored us with two hours speech at the opera house during the last state campaign. Helena World.
 With the possible exception of Phillips county, the counties of East ern Arkansas have made a clean-cut, straight out fight against republican ism. Phillips county is compromise county and has mugwumpish news paper. which has ever been willing to take things in it's own county asit finds shem. The fact that Phillips compre- misses with the fellows whom we fight. accounts for the difference. The fact that the county gives q republican ma jority may also help to explain why Phillips has TO ropulists. Populists and republicans are one and the same witt! us, and it does not surprise TIE TIMES that the blatherskite tongues Of the populist leaders have not wagged in county where they had every req son to believe they wouh recieve a good majority, and when they had no aggressive opposing newspaper. An ether thing: When populist leaders no tice the course of paper claiming to be democratic which advocates the in- terests of the gold bug and millionaire classes of the East, ridiculing the prayer of the masses for more money:

II is AWARDED TO w. w. HALL
FOR HIS COMPANY.
Mr.. Hall Was the Only Bidder His
Plans for Extending the
Cpryice

Chief Clerk Hassinger of the Interior
Department, was prompt in his APP
pearance at the entrance of the govern
ment building at exactly noon to-day
for the sale of the Government Electric
Franchise. The only bidder on hand
was w. w. Hall, who bid for the Ha-
waiian Electric Co., the upset price OF
two and a half per cent on the gross
proceeds Of the franchise, This was
accepted. The company of which Mr..
Hall is president and Hon. w. G..
Irwin and other wealthy men Of the
city are heavy stockholders, propose
the immediate augmentation of their
present small plant, on King and Ala
kea streets. They will put in steam
and electric machinery Of the most APP
proved kinds, and Of capacity sufficient
to supply the demands Of the entire
city.
Mr.. Hall was greatly pleased at the
result Of the bidding when a STAR re-
porter called on him this afternoon.
"Our company has worked under dis
advantages for two years, said he,
but we shall now be in shape to do a
large business. The machinery which
will be put in will enable us to meet
all present and prospective demands OF
the town. Our first effort will be to
get 1000 lights in operation. When
that is done we shall be ready To- put in
more engines and dynamos and extend
! the plant to meet the uttermust point
Of custom either for lights or for motive
power We shall be able to supply
the latter to all sorts of manufactures
or to those needing it in transportation.

Meanwhile the wires will be strung.
