OUR DEBT.

The City Treasurer's report which has
lust come to hand reveals very startling
condition OF the city's financial affairs
that should be brought to the attention
OF every voter and taxpayer IN the city
because IL reveals condition OF facts that
most people little dream OF. Ever since
the city government has been insugu-
rated the Republicans have been in power
and all the offices filled by them and they
are responsible for whatever condition our
finances are in. From a general stand .
point, simply looking at the management
in vogue, any banker will tell you the
plan is expensive and extravagaut and
would not be tolerated anyw here else or al
lowed for a moment in any banking in
stitution. In other words the system Is
not only questionable but has been ac-
tually condemned. II doesn't show the
least sign Of knowledge as to the proper
way 70 conduct municipal affairs.
When the Republicans came Into power
In 1886 they found the city with debt
hardly more than a million and quarter
which had been the accumulation OF
years, and under their management from
that time on they have succeeded In add
ing two millions and a half to that debt
in about seven years; in other words, the
city debt has doubled itself in that short
time. And are we any better of than We
were those few years ago. No; we are far
worse of for with the exception OF few
improvements the money has been practi-
cally wasted by those incompetent 10
handle 1t. II Is fine record that the Re-
publican party has to point to, And per-
haps il is proud OF the record. The peo-
pie are not, anyway, and hope the new
city government Will improve on its pre-
decessors. II Mayor Iiepke had told the
whole truth about the finances OF the city
Ia .toad OF covering up the facts, and then
have said, gentlemen your predecessors
in office have been lavish in the
expenditure Of the peoples money, it is
time to stop, let US cut down where we
can, there would have been displayed Oh
his part an interest for the good OF the
city with him, as with many others,
the care OF the Republican party comes
first and the city afterwards.
Why is it the people display so little
interest in the welfare Of the community
in which we live? Such inactivity and
lethargy is astonishing. We only hope as
from time to time we call attention to the
gross mismanagemenS and debt-increas-
ing tendency OF the city fathers that they
will rememb ber some OF these things and
lock them away in some secret corner OF
their memory for future use.

meeting In a hotel psrlor With canvas

the people W hose clothing they have taxed,
and which they want to tax in future.

The latest news from Albany is that the
Republicans intend TO unsest fourteen
Assembly so that there Will be sufficient
Republicans to pass partisan measures
over the veto OF honest old Governor
Flower. That there is truth in the rumor
is proven by the fact that just so many
Democratic seats are now being con.
tested. 1t is quite an object lesson for us
poor fools who do the voting.

Chairman Wilson wants the Tariff bill
to come to a vote in the House Jan. II.
There Is no good reason why it should
not. No around for discussion exists

ARKANSAS WAsHOUTs.

A yesterdays dispatch, from Lit

outs etc, resulting from the recent
heavy rainfall in this'state, as fol-
lows:
The sun shone a few minutes this
afternoon for the first time at Lit
tie Rock since Saturday morning,
rain having fallen almost continu-
ally for seventy hours. In this part
OF the state the storm was accom-
panied by heavy winds and houses
were unroofed and fences blown
down, but no lives have been re-
ported lost. The Arkansas river
has risen eight feet at Little Rock
and threatens to pass the danger
line. No trains have arrived from
Texarkana or left for that point in
twenty four hours, as the roadbed
is washed out about six miles south
of Little Rock. Trains are running
north to st. Louis, though the
track is under water near Bebee.
The lowlands between Pine Bluff and
Arkansas City are inundated,
though trains are running on
time.
The Cotton Belt road is washed
out between Pine Bluff and Camden
and no trains have gone south over
that road since yesterday morning.
The rain is still falling at Camden
and the Ouachita river there is ris-
ing a foot an hour. The rainfall
at Camden has been seven and a
half inches

CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS.

the Democrats who have stood in
the way Of the Wilson tariff BILL
After an unconscionable delay
the terms of the House tariff bill as
modified by the sub committee of
the Senate finance committee have
been laid before the full committee
and given to the public. Every one
knows to what the delay was due,
and the cause Of it was in the high
est degree discreditable to the lit
tie cabal of Mckinley Democrats
that brought it about, 1t is not
necessary now to discuss further
the injury they have inflicted upon
the business of the country, the dis
repute they have brought upon the
party to which they pretend to be
loyal, and the entirely justified sus-
picion as to the relations of sena-
tors to the stock market for which
they have given occasion, 1t is a
miserable story Of party treachery
OF personal ambition and greed,
and ON the part of some Of these
men, of motives even meaner The
first chapter of that story is closed.

that has been carried on in secret
are before the public. 1t remains

LEANING TOWARD POPULIsM.
An Instance in Which Consistency is
Very Rare Jewel, Politically,

The whole policy of the Demo
cratic party in the past has been
to oppose the issue of bonds in any
manner whatever, and in his course
we believe Secretary Carlisle has
violated the traditions and princi-
pies of the Democratic party. How
ever, the people must bear in mind
that this deficit in the treasury was
brought about by Republican legis-
lation, and on their heads be the
responsibility. Pine Bluff Graphic.
And thou, too, Brother Adams
Where will this detection from the
Democratic press end? You have a
right, Bro. Adams, to 60 into the
Populite camp, but alasl alasl who
will stand for Grover now2 Have
you not stood, ably, bravely, elo-
quently by the administration, and
have you not clearly and exhaust
lively shown that criticism was a
pandering to the populites, and
that censure was rank heresy? But
now what do we see from you? A
criticism from the chief officer of
the cabinet, the one who stands
next to Grover himself, and all
about a little matter Of the issu-
ance of a few bonds. You should
not have done 50. You should re-
member that you have set up the
administration as the Democratic
party. What the administration
did, therefore, should have been
binding upon you. 1t will hurt you
to be called a populite by the few
of your Democratic brethren who
are still standing upon the narrow
little platform from which you have
thus fallen. But you will soon get
used to it, Those of us who deter
mined long since that we would
show to the people that the great
error of a Democratic administra-
tion was not the error Of the Dem
ocratic party, have had the charge
hurled at us so often that it now
ceases to hurt. We have been pre-
pairing to do this without you and
in spite of your able efforts to the
contrary, but we are glad to well
come you, Brother Adams, into our
ranks, - [Fordyce Enterprise
The above is wholly self explana-
tory and requires no further eluci-
dation at our hands. We cannot
help being reminded, however, of
the instability of human convic-
tions, which makes a man 60 coun-
ter to the faith, with the justice
and righteousness of which he has
"dinned" the ears of his fellow man
for years, Oh, well, consistency is
not a political jewel, anyway; SO we
forgive you, Bro. Adams, for this
sudden change of base. 1t is an
easy matter to question the purity
of another's faith, but not always
so easy to establish the purity of
ones own
