RESURRECTED.
PINE BLUFFS OLD TIME LIFE ENERGY
Reasserting ItseIf.-The Car shops Cele- bration and the Great Races Win
 Draw Large Crowds.

The old citizens of Pine Bluff have lived long enough to see the palmy days of Pine Bluff resurrected.
 Again the city has put on new life and energy. Like Rip Van Wrinkle, she has aroused from her long sleep of lethargy and inactivity and walked out into the glorious sun light of new eve ef prosperity. While we would not undertake to disparage what has been done by the older heads within the walls of our citadel, still it is evident that the young warriors are now putting on the Wa1-paint while the old ones are allowed to retire in ease and com fort All credit is due the old sol diers; they have won the plandit: 'sWell done good and faithful ser want, and they must not discour- age the young men as they are now stepping to the front and taking their positions in the front ranks. We are glad they are with Us when it comes to counsel and advice based upon experience, but in active service the younger generation is expected to do the work.
 The celebration of the car shops, opening next Monday, will be fit emblem of new life in the growth of our city. These shops will stand as everlasting monuments to the nntir- ing efforts of the citizens of Pine Bluff.
 There will be thousands of people here to rejoice and be glad with us. 1t is the achievement of aconqueror. While other towns and cities made Che Cotton Belt road most liberal propositions, still, through pluck and ambition, we won the enter prise. Next Monday will be one of the brightest dates in the history of our city.
 Following this celebration will come the races the like of which Pine Bluff has never before witnessed.
 This event it itself will encourage the breeding of fine horses in this county; it will bring our people to- gether to witness the achievement of superior blood over common scrub stock; it will furnish great amuse- ment for men, women and children and add many days to their lives of usefulness. People must have amuse- ment and there is nothing so charm as a genuine horse race, and we will have numbers of them next week at the Park.
 Pine Bluff is again awake and awake to future greatness.

A Remarkable Document.

REDFIELD, ARK, May 9, 1894. Editor GRAPHIC:
 These are the headlines of a com munication 1 have just read in the Pine Bluff Commercial from the pen of its distinguished Editor, the Hon. Charles Gordon Newman, in which he says to the Democrats of Bar raque township, you are all fools and incapable of understanding the true meaning of a plain resolution when read in your hearing" Now, while we Democrats of Barraque township look upon the Maiah as a man of giant intellect and profound knowledge, yet we cannot refrain from entering mild protest, when he, through thecolumns of his widely circulated and ably edited journal seeks to impress upon the minds of his readers that the thirty-twO citi- zens of the banner Democratic town ship of Jefferson county i'll conven- ton assembled, were all blockheads.
 His first objection is to the follow ing language:
 "Whereas, believing as we do, that certain offices of Jefferson county 1 have been filled by the Republican party long enough" "
 Now, my dear Majah, this is just 1 what the Democrats of Barraque 1 township and of the entire county believe, and that is why they are clamorous for a straight ticket. Did they not believe thus there would be no necessity of changing the present order of things.
 Again, the Majah, who is inspired with so much patriotism for his country (ai1a the Republican party Aof Jefferson eounty) seriously objects to the word tspoils. /" Had we been aware that this little word would have gratea so harshly upon the Majahs sense of patriotism and DO llitical justice, knowing as we dc the high esteem entertained for tht Major by the Democrats of Barraque township for the manly fight he is making through the columns of his paper for the Republican party, wt might have substituted another I word.
 " dear Maiah, can you dispute the statement that the Democrats l of the county pay 90 per cent. of th' I taxes? If this be true we think l l right and just that such tax-payer' should have the right to say whethel our ofIlcas should be tiled with rep

FIRE AND STRIKES.
Arouse. Ne Romans 1!

The alarm of fire this morning was due to d burning flue, as reported at the residence of Mr. S B. White on the corner of Twelfth and Linden.
 It was q mere accident that hose cart No. l responded to the call. Chief Senyard happened to be Ut the engine house when the alarm was turned in and he simply volunteered his services. No other firemen re- sponded. The hook and ladder boys did not respond; neither did Engine Company No. ,. How could we ex- pect them to do so? They have been serving the city faithfully in the past and while other city officials draw their pay these boys have been put off until their patience has been thoroughly exhausted. The present condition of affairs is a shame and d disgrace to tine city. It is the citys Government and not an oligarchy, consisting of the Mayor and, the City Council. The peoples interests are at stake. There is no use in heaping caIumny and abuse upon the firemen for having gone out yester- day on strike without any warn

resentative white men or ignorant, incompetent negroes.
 Lastly the Maiah says these won derful preambles contain the deelar- ation that we can carry a straight Democratic ticket from top to bot tom, without fraud, intimidation or violence. Why was it that we em- bodied such declarations as these in our resolutions? For the one reason that Mir. Newman through the columns of his paper has been, since the first agitation of this question, trying to make the Democrats of the county believe that it will be impos- sible to elect il straight ticket with out resorting to these unfair and un- lawful means, when by the publica- tion of such stuff lie has done his utmost to breed discontent in the Democratic ranks, and by his utter aaees as Democrat, has inspired the Republicans with hope that what he says is true. And upon this fonloln hope they (the Republicans) made q show oE the consolidation of their forces thereby thinking to in- timidate the Democracy and force them to some kind of compromise. But as the ret urns came in from the different townships we see that this little scheme did not work; but like Baffaque. they think certain offices of iic county have been held by Re pnilieans long enough and they are now in fay of filing said offices with representative men from the Democratic party. to all of which We, of Barraque township. say amen.
 The Majah seems to be disposed to make light of the few Democrats who assembled at our meeting Let me say to him that there were thirty two representative mon of the party in the township present, and at least thirty of them were for a straight ticket and a very large majority of Democratic voters of the township are the same. If other townships throughout the county will do their duty as BaIrauu ue has done, and will dc in the future, our county conven- tion to be assembled at Pine Bluff on the l7th day of May will place a straight Democratic ticket in the field and it will be elected from top to bottom-the Hon. Charles Cor don Newman and his vest-pocket voters notwithstanding

ing, as if is claimed by many as be- ing wrong. Men who strike for food and clothing don't wait to give warning. They stike and strike hard. These boys have been draw ing full pay in scrip, but they have been driven to the necessity of going around town and begging our busi- ness men to take the same at almost any price, being driven to this necessity ill order to keep body and soul together and to protect their families from starvation. We regrt it; it is a shame and q disgrace that existing circumstances are such. There are patriotic men in this city who have come to the rescue of the Mayor and City Council on this ques- ton. All honor to them. Here we are today a growing, thriving, prosperous city without fire de partment. A committee is out to- day soliciting our business men to take scrip at face value for the pur- pose of being able to readiust this
 unfortunate affair.
 WilI it take a roaring, cracking ,de- structive fire in the heart of the city to bring our business men to the serious situation that now confronts us? If we were to have a fire today,
 we guarantee these boys would re- spond to the call of fire as volun- 1 teers, but Pine Bluff is too large q
 place to q 4pend upon a volunteer fire department. We must get move on us and correct this existing evil.
