Look rvs Not Backward. and Prepare
For the Coming Victory.
Seven southern senators II congress
men, with one northern senator of
southern sympathies, have been intrust-
ed with the industrial destinies of co.
600, 900 Of people. Jones, Wilson, Nc
Millin, Turner and Montgomery come
from villages with less thai a combined
population of 10, uOU. What can north
ern industries expect from these men:
Not one of them knows anything of the
needs of labor and industry, and yet
they are to shape a tariff bill that must
overthrow our whole splendid network
of industrial activity and progress. And
where lies the blame? With the north
ern Democrats who in 1892 voted for
trade congress.
The lesson must be learned, and it will
prove a hitter experience. 1t is too late
to look back. We must look forward and
repair the wrong as o o as we can. We
must begin at once and labor necessarily
till the bill which seems destined to be-
come a law is replaced by a law of pro-
lection. Our country must recede. our
laborers must be idle, our factories
closed, our savings withdrawn and
spent, our splendid progress. national
and individual, checked, but next No
vember and again in 1896 we can right
the wrong, and we must do it SO EN-
phatically that the Democratic party
will not again come to h front for a
generation to come.

embassy TO the Sheep, desiring that
there might be peace between them for
the time to ONE why, said they.

deadly strife? Those wicked Dogs are
the cause of it all; they are necessarily

silly Sheep listened, the Dogs were dis

their protection, became an easy prey

''ln TIN cost in money, the destruction

THE HATER 0UEST0N

The water question is Q grave and serious one for Pine Bluff. It has reached an acute stage where some thing must be done The Pine Bluff Water & Light Company, through it's attorney, has notified the city that no more water will Dc furnished until the company's July bill is paid; it matters not whether the bill is just or the service ever rendered. Shylock is demand ing his pound of flesh and Shyloek must be paid Notwithstanding that it is d known fact that the Water X Light Company did not furnish an adequate supply or pres sure of wates for fire purposes throughout the month of Jely, the company will not brook delay in settlement or deductions for the service not rendered. Individuals in the private transactions of life between one another pay only for what they get, but here is acorpo- ration insolently demanding pay for service not rendered, and o utterly and basely regardless of the welfare of their patrons that they openly assert that in case of fire t9e water will not be turned on or any protection given. Mereiless pro poses to be this corporation. Hear less and wretched the proposition revolting to every sense of justice and to every feeling of the human heart which prompts one man to help another in a time of distress.
 And it must be remembered that the City Council has not declined to pay the July bill of this soulless co. poration; it has only post poned the bill flor further consideration. Al all events, the Council has no right to pay for that which the city did not get, and no court would enfo ee contract where one of the parties seeks to exact pay for a service not rendered in accordance with the contract
 This huge octopus is going littl 2 too far The people have some rights that even this corporation is bound to respect, and in the event of fire, should the officers of the company refuse to turn on the water pressure, the city authorities would be justified in going to the works of the company and taking matters into their own hands.
 Law is reason, and the courts are maintained for the establishment Of justice, and they will not uphold Q remorseless corpol 4tion in its or- pressions of the people.
 In the meantime, let the Council and the City Attorneys push tie application for a receiver for the company and a forfeiture of the charter The sympathy of the pub lie is with them in the fight
