The importance Of savings banks to

this employment and these banks are
like the wings of bird. The good
that many women should get from the
bank is never realized because thev
never begin to use 1t.
The writer knows 4 case OF a poor
young woman who was urged to begin

income too small to bear any subtrac-
ton. \ friend opened an account in
her name with five dollars rs his ill.,

Editor TEXARKANIAN:
met one of our poor but honest
and substantial farmers the other
day, and after the usual salutation
| asked him why he belonged to the
third party. He jumped from his
horse, pulled off his hat, mounted a
stump and delivered himself as fol-
lows:
FELLow-C ITIzENs:--I have been a

fought Republican corruption ever
since the war; / have believed in,
and still believe in, the great prin-
ciples of Democracy, and will never

ocratic sore-head, who has been de-
feated for office. The third party
egg was laid in sin Matched in cor
ruption and bred, if bred at all, on
the rotten part Of some other par
ty. The P. p. has always labored
for success, not upon its own merits,
but upon the dement's of other par
ties. Any sane man, who is not
blinded by prejudice, can see with
one eye that where Democratic
principles prevail there the p. 2.
gnaws at Democratic sores and
throws it's fire at the Democrats,
hugging to its bosom Republicans

prevail it bites at Republican scabs

says
"The whole interest here is on

details, it may be probably of the
greatest interest to know one
thing, and that is that the admins
tration intends carrying out its
policy-that there shall be no inter
ference with the mails Roads un'

courts, or the Pacific roads, which,
under their charters, are military
roads, will be protected. And more
than this, when the state authori'

with the strikers and call on the
Federal government for aid it will
be given; and when this is done the
situation will be considered to justi'

sTHE STRIKE AT LITTLE ROCK.
How the Situation is Viewed at the
State Capital of Arkansas
Yesterday.

The Strike situation, in the CAPT
tai city of Arkansas, as set forth in
/ yesterdays dispatches, and general
I press news from that point, has not
changed materially from that OF
the two days, Saturday and Sunday
preceding.
All trains moved except the Pine
Bluff local. The Fort Smith train
went out at $50 with engineer
Bruce and Fireman Barnett. Bruce
has been in the company's service
twelve years, and Barnett, three
years. Both are white men and
efficient men as well. 1t was stat
ed at the mass meeting at Main and
Markham Sunday night by the chair
man that the train was pulled out by
an ex-cOnvict engineer and a colored
fireman.
A labor mass meeting was held
at the foot of Main and Markham
sts., with about 400 strikers and
nearly as many business men and
other citizens present. Several rail
way organization leaders spoke and
good order was preserved through
out.
Mayor Hall followedin an address
to the strikers in which he said,
while his sympathies personally
were with the Pullman Palace Car
Company's employees in the begin
ming of the strike, that he could
but now condemn the methods they
were using to enforce their demands
and that when the laws were brok-
en- that moment he was on the. 9th
er side; that they might look for
nothing from him but the most rig
id enforcement of the law so far as
it lay in his power
Forty engineers and switchmen
from Sedalla, in the employ of the
Missouri Pacific, but who had been
laid off for lack of work, and who
are anxious to work, have been or
dered here to move freight trains
and it is expected that not only all
passenger but freight trains as
well will soon be running over the
Iron Mountain and Fort Smith
roads.
All the state troops save the
Eagle Rangers have gone home.
The Rangers received reinforce
ments yesterday from Lonoke coun
ty and are now in camp at TT. Smith
Crossing under the orders of the
Sheriff. They have been furnished
with tents, a mess outfit and plenty
of ammunition for their carbines
and six shooters and will remain on
guard until their presence is no
longer needed.
