The rumor current a few days
since, concerning an effort of Prof.
G. L. Bryant to do himself bodily
injury, by striking his head against
the bars of his cell in the Bowie
county jail, proves erroneous, and
is, we are informed, without foun-
dation. We make the statement
cheerfully, as it is our desire to pub
lish the facts in every case. Just
how the rumor gained currency we
are unable to learn, but certain it
is that the report spread all over
our city, and was repeated by any
number of people.

The boasted spirit OF energy and
progress of Texarkana's citizenship,
which is, in truth, the "stock in
trade, or capital stock" of our
city, and upon which depends the
growth, development and prosperi-
ty of every progressive municipal
ty, was never more urgently need
ed, in the city's behalf, than now.
To every practiced eye it is appar-
ent that Texarkana is now upon the
eve of the most important as well
as the most critical period Of her
existence. A period in which two
or three years will tell the story of
her future destiny. A period in
which no single advantage offered
can afford to be let pass unsecured,
from the starting of a stave fac,
tory to the location of the general
shops for great railway system.
Indeed, a period, when the citizens
of TeXarkana should accept what is
offered and battle for all that is
withheld.

The circus today has had the ef-

any effort on the part of the peda-

by the "ferrule" or enforced by lib
eral application of the "birch, to
be of any avail whatever. Indeed
we would suggest that on occasions
such as this all other studies be
dropped, save that of natural his
tory, and lessons in that be confined

funds for the Sam Jones taberna-
Gle that he would give "a car load

of this worthy object. Several 9TH

willingness to give with an equally
liberal hand. Only let this spirit of
open-handed generosity pervade the
masses of our people and the solicit
ing committee for the Sam Jones
tabernacle will find its lines cast in
easy places. Indeed no other re-
quest possible should meet with as
prompt and liberal response as that
now being made to secure the great

Out of $9,OOO,O 900 for rivers and
harbors recently appropriated by
Congress, Arkansas received $780,
900, which was a little more than
that obtained a year ago, when the
appropriation was $24, 100000. This
amount with that obtained for the
military post and the Federal build
ing at Little Rock, gives Arkansas
an appropriation somewhere in the
neighborhood of 100000, The
Little Rock post now has to its
credit $194,757, which includes the
$50, 600 appropriated by the Fifty
second Congress. Arkansas, it
should be remembered, has more
miles of navigable rivers than any
other state in the Union.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1894-10-02

For the benefit of our contempo-
rary, the News, we will say, that no
intention of wrongful appropriation
was entertained, in using its hours
for arrival and departure Of the
New Cotton Belt passenger train
Further than this, we cheerfully
accord to the News any credit
which may be due, We simply
availed ourselves of an unimport-
ant item of railway news, which
would have been but little trouble
indeed to have obtained over the
phone from the companys offices.
We give the News credit for being
correct in such matters, as a rule,
and having already announced the
new train, accepted the hours Civ
en- in its columns as correct.
We have, several times recently
been asked what has become Of the
prospect for an Electric Street car
line, for this city, and ii that bud
ding hope had suffered a fate simi
lar to that of other Summer flowers
blghted by the winter winds, of f.
nancial discomfort. We hope not,
certainly, nor do we doubt the ulti-
mate consummation of same. 1t
should be borne in mind that "Rome
was not built in 4 day. nor do the
men at the head of important en-
terprises rush heedlessly forward,
even in this rapid age The steet
car project is in excellent hands,
backed by the men of brains and
money who, once they set the ball
in motion, will not suffer the skein
to tangle in the hands of sloth orbe
frayed by needless delay, "

prepared for labor disorders are no
more efiicacious for the diseases they
propose 20 cure than are those nos
trums advertised on every side for
physical ailments
One of the latest of the suggested
remedies is the establishment by states
of farms to which sll the INDECENT un-
employed are TO be sent at the public
cost Men, women and children are
all TO be provided for, aud those who
can work are all to be given employ
ment, tor which they are to receive
food and lodging and some additional
wages,
The LEADER believes there is little
question that many of the unemployed
people OF cities would regard it as little
better than punishment to be sent TO
The country to work on state farms.
They would view themselves in the
| light OF convicts. People, like some OF
the Coxeyites, hold to the belief that
the government ought to support
them, and they went TO Washington
to demand what they thought they
were entitled to. In Rome the great
politicians supported in idleness vast
hordes of men, whose business in elec'
tions was to vote for their patrons
They had nothing else to do. Most OF
the criminals and paupers are in cities,
and those classes multiply as the popu
lations Of the cities increase. Botl
criminals and paupors must live on Tho
people who work. No; state poor
farms would be failure. Many coun
ties have poor farms. The inmates are
always country paupers. City pauperf
will not live in the country at any
price.
