pARKE X NEWTON, neu York Racket Store,
 221 WEST BARRAQUE STREET

Did the waters of the river reach this point, it would be bad enough to have such things dumped into them above town to float down and lodge along the banks fronting the city and scenting the air with all manner oi foul stenches; but they do not, only in extreme high water, and the city officials deserve censure for allowing such things to be dumped under the river bank above the city.
 Further up the bayou, and along it's bank, are numbers of priyies which could be removed to other locations if the Board of Health so ordered. The bayou runs within. five yar6s of the Catholic cemetery, but no drain appeared to come into it otherwise than by percolation.
 The party continued their journey on up the bed of the bayou until the bridge oR Barraque street was reached, and with the exception of a privy here and there along the banks and few dead carcasses, in a more or less decomposed state, scattered about, no disagreeable sights were seen until the head of Third avenue was reached, when the party came upon some pools of very black and dirty looking water standing in the bed of the bayou. This water  was traced to it's source and was found to come from the estave factory
 From that point the party crossed over to the slaughter pens. The drainage from these pens undoubted- ly runs into Brump's bayou in the wet season. but at the present time all the drains are perfectly dry, and until the heavy rains come no filth from them can enter the bayou.
 As much as thereporter would like to say otherwise, he must state that the surface water from Bellwood cemetery also drains into Brump's bayou, but what becomes 0 that which falls in the cemetery and is ah- sorbed by the ground he is unable to state. l may, or may not, by per collation., gradually work it's way into the bayou and from thence into the river.
 The representatives of the Water and Light company contend that the pipes into the river through which wnfer is pumped are fifteen ni. N en { ]. frnf r, .afsnr fhn a,,a.f.,co .,,.xa tl...t <1.s

BRUMP'S BAYOU.
A Graphic Reporter Visits the Bayou and Gives the Result of His Investigations.

Yesterday afternoon in company with Messrs. Prank G. Bridges and w. A. Lee, of the Pine Bluff Water and Light company, and a representative of the Commercial, the GRAPHIC re- porter went on a tour to inspect Brump's bayou and the country which is drained by it. The party started from the dike below the water works, at which point water is being pumped from the Arkansas river to supply the city, both for fire and domestic uses
 Brump's bayou drains into the river about one hundred yards above the place where the pipes run into the river and through which the water is pumped At the present time the bed of the bayou is dry, eX- cept for a dist tance of perhaps two hundred yards, which is filled with backWater from the river. The channel of the bayou skirts along the banks of the river, while on the north side is q sand bar which ex- thend to the river, a distance Of, per haps, from q quarter to half mile.
 When the river is high this bar is covered and the current sweeps around the bend above the city against the banks on which the water works are situated. The party walked up the river under this bank and saw many nuisances which the officials could and should abate. Numbers of dead animals and fowls, which had been thrown from the bank above, were seen lying about in a decomposed state, while just above the proper mouth of the bayou is the city 5 dumping ground for the waste and filth that is collected from the streets. Not only is the filth hauled to tilis bank and thrown over, but most of the dead animals found i'll the city are hauled to this place and dumped over, not to be carried away by the waters of the river, but to lie there, lester and rot and allow the gentle: zephyrs to wait the putrid stench np the bank and over our fair |city to create sickness md, perhaps. s'siatiss fure uir IS as necessaFy fo

bayou, one hundred yards above, ie swept away by the current before it can mingle with the water which is pumped into the mains of the city. This, of course, may be possible, but the patrons of the company must de eide this problematical question for themselves.
 The rcpresentatives Of the compa- ny also state that i'll the wet season, when Brump's bayouis flowing, there is usually enough water in the com pany's wells to supply the city, and then no water will be pumped from the river.
 In conclusion, the reporter will say that the Board of Health and city s:sals not s..sitty ; tt

In reference to Mr.. Germans at
tempt to cloak his treason with the
name of Cleveland, the New York
World says:
Mr.. German did not learn his pro
lection doctrines from Mr., Cleveland.
He has been pulling back during the
entire time that Mr. Cleveland has
been leading his party forward in the
tarilf-reform fight. He is a protcc-
Zionist from self-interest. Mr.. Cleve-
land is tariff-reformer from convic-
ton.
The Posi- is inclined to the opin-
ion that Senator German is more fit
for page, the position from which
he evolved, than Senator. lie, with
David B. Hill, Of New York, are the
very worst enemies Democracy has.
The one is spokesman from princl-
pie, the other from policy, and Meth
er one knows the definition of the
word Statesman. OF conviction they
are utterly destitute, and of littleness
they are full to overlooking.

ATariff for Revenue Only.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
New York Sun, has almost lost its
bearings. It has denounced the in
come tax until it k lows no other sub
iect which it can so satisfactorily roll
as sweet morsel under its tongue.
We don't know whether the Sun
hates Cleveland more than it hates
an income-tax, or an income-tax
more than it hates Cleveland. In
order to kill off the proposition to
levy an income-tax the Sun advo-
Gates what it is pleased to term ga
tariff for revenue only" and goes to
the extreme indicated in the follow
ing averment:
1.-The Sun insists most emphatic
ally, and has insisted from the first
without either hesitation or misgiv-
ing, that constitutional tariff for
revenue only demands revenue from
everything imported, without excep-
iton."
England raises all her revenue
from customs duties from very few
articles. So England has not rev.
nue. tariff. Uncle Sam cannot have
free sugar, nor free coffee, nor free
tea, nor free anything else under the
operation of the Suns tariff for reve-
nue. only. 1t is clear, too, that Meth
er the celebrated Walker tariff nor
the tariff made in Alexander Hamil
toms day was a tariff for revenue.
SO also Mr. Randall was in error
when he professcd to favor tariff
for revenue, and maintained that the
Federal Government had no right to
levy tariff for the protection of
American industries.
We favor a discriminating tariff,
or what General Jackson styled ga
iudicious tariff" Such tariff lays
duties upon articles which ought to
be made to pay duties, but not upon
articles which cannot bear tariff.
To lay duties which exclude foreign
goods is by no means to frame a rev.
enue tariff.
However, as we have eaid, we fea.'
the Sun is more onxious to defeat
President Cleveland's proposed in
come-tax than it is to secure any
given kind of tariff. It's animus IN
it's discussion of tariffs and an in
come-tax seems to us to be not nigh
ly creditable to that paper, which, by
the way, is edited with extraordinary
skill and ability.-Richmond Dis
patch.

Novels.

At the present day the novel is ia
the front rank of litera ture. An en-
inent living American writer Of fc-
ton divides novels into two classes
the perfect novel and the purpose
novel. The former, he defines as
San intellectual artistic luxury Of
three essentials,-must appeal to the
intellect; must satisfy requirements
Of art; and must be luxury" The
same writer says "the first object Of
a novel is to assume and interest the
reader. Many so called novels are
photographs, not pictures;catalogues,
and not descriptions. The perfect
novel must be clean and sweet; must
have the magic to fascinate, and the
power to hold. its reader from first to
last; its realism must be real; its
romance must be of the human
heart; its idealism must be transcend
ant
Judge by such canon of excel
lence, many Of the so-called popular
novels Of to-day must be regarded as
mere trash.
The purpose novel is defined as an
intellectual moral lesson,' whose
chief Office is to instruct. In ordi-
nary cases, as observed by the writer.
quoted above, the purpose novel is a
fraud. i is an attempt to lecture
people Who.hate lectures, TO preach at
people vllo prefer their own church,

The Adjustment Of the Senate.
There has been much talk of late
in regard to the ACCESSIBILITY of abol-
ishing the United States Senate. The
discussion of this has, for the most
part, been confined to journals of
very little character or standing and
has. been in spirit of railery
more than anything else.
Now and then it is dis
cussed in q serious manner and argu-
ments have been adduced in favor of
the move. Doubtless the unnscessa-
ny and unwarranted delay displayed
by that august tribunal in regard to
the recent repeal of the Sherman sill
yer law, and it's present inaction in
regard to the Wilson Bill has occa-
stoned this outburst Of popular indig-
nation. Whatever gave rise to it.,
however, is of but little moment.
The question is, how is it to be
abolisheds The people as the source
Of all bestowen power alone have the
right to abolish, and this would re-
quire goeat uprising of the people
for accomplishment. 1t would not
only require an universal and popu-
lar uprising but it would require ma
ture and careful deliberation.
In a Republican form Of govern
ment the reins of government can
not.be held too tightly; that is con-
sistent with Republican form of
government. When once they be-
gin to loosen there is no telling where
it will end. 1t illustrates the old
adage Of giving an inch and taking
an ell. It is an absolute necessity
that check should be placed upon
the hot-headed and hasty action Of
che popular branch and the Senate
has proven check indeed upon nu-
merous occasions. Alexander Ham
ilton saw the absolute necessity Of
this, and he was in favor Of making
the government even stronger than
it now is. Events, Tins far, hare
proven that the Senate is q sufficient
check and Hamilton's paternal gov
eminent has not proven necessary.

Who Is Responsible for Delay?

The Boston HerDld is an independ
emf Republican paper, so to speak,
and generally tries to be fair in its
trsafment of-whatever subject it dis
cusses. That paper, whilst not
charging the present depressions of
business directly to anything the
Democrats have done, argues that the
dread of tariff changes more or less
radical as consequence of Demo
cratic accession to power had much
influence in bringing about the pres.
ant panic, as it is SO called.
The Democrats in Congress and
ont of that body might as we'll make
up their minds that they will surely
have to meet this charge next No
vembcr, unless they shall have pre-
viously put into operation a tariff
which will satisfy the business pub
lie that that question is settled and
no radical changes in the customs
duty need be feared or expected for
years to, come The importers of
foreign goods AMI the manufacturers
of domestic goods can accommodate
themselves to tariff of almost any
sort, provided they can rely upon it's
stability. It has been held time out
of mind that to know what the laws
are is what every people ought to
be entitled to. Therefore, if the
Democrats enter the next falls cam
Ipaign without having passed any
tariff law they will be at a. great dis
advantage in their discussions Of the.
various questions which may be pre-
sented to the people BY them. Il. in
deed, the voters will consent TO hear
of anything but the tariff.
There can be no allowable excuse
