ter Davis killed Goodyn Jones byshoot-
ing him in the back with gun, then
chopping his head open and cutting it
almost of. After the bloody crime
Davis dragged his victim about mile

male for the missing man and he was
found in the creek. Davis was ar
rested and would have been sunmarily

Jones out of the way. Davis confessed

Reflections Of HorubIower and Harri-
son Made Public Exports of Cotton
From Texas For December 1S92-93.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20-Now that

invading of the gold reserve. The

from that date, as announced by Secre-
tary Carlisle. Among the large crowd
OF callers waiting to see Secretary Car

name was refused.

made, it is said. at the treasury depart
ment have come from persons and
firms in New York city. One offer to

The House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-At the open
ing of the session in the house the re-
port of the committee on elections in
favor of ONeill, the Democratic con
testant in tne contested election case of
O'Neill VS.. Joy, was presented and or
dered printed.
Consideration of the tariff bill was
then resumed, the pending amendment
being that of Johnson Dem, o. to
place steel rails on the free list.
Before Dalzell was recognized to
proceed with his speech, begun yester-
day, Wilson asked unanimous consent
that three hours be set aside next Mon
day for consideration of amendments
to the sugar schedule. This was agreed
to.
Dalzell began by recapitulating the
charges he had made against Johnson.
He had shown, he said. that johnson
manufactured certain kinds of street
railway rails behind the protection of
1890 patents, and wanted railway rails
to go on the free list; that he coerced
his employees in the face of the hard
times and starvation into accepting
wages one-third cash and two-thirds
scrip, that he made an untrue state
ment and had altered stenographers'
notes, and lastly that scrip had been
hawked about the streets of Johnstown
and had been bought in at discount
by relative of johnson before it was
redeemed at par,
Johnson replied to Dalzell in a semi
humorous vein. He said he. had noti-
fed Dalzen that he was going to at
tack steel rails and that he might be
prepared, but inste ID of making a de-
Tense he made personal attack upon
him (Johnson), He (Johnson) did not
claim to be q philanthropist.
The Johnson amendment was lost
yeas, 10; nays. 100.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, JAN. 20, 1894.
THE OUTLOOK.

For the past three day the DAILY
GRAPHIC has published interviews
with number of our leading citizens
as to the prospects for business for
81 These interviews have been
both interesting and instructive,
and cannot fail to produce an easier
feeling throughout the community.
The coneensus of opinion from these
interviews seem to establish three
important facts; first, that our
farming element can have prosperity
only by diversifying their crops and
raising their provisions at home;
second, that in order to have pros
perity we must have manufacturing
industries, and, third, that we must
adopt the cash system. Any one Of
these reforms involves a radical de.
parture from old methods, but we
are pleased to note that or people
have at last recognized the true
element of prosperity. + the South
is to be d prosperous country, she
must adopt an economical polisy
totally at variance with the customs
of our fathers. Times and con
ditions have changed and SO must
our methods. Our farmers, if they
would be prosperous, must raise all
of their provisions at home instead
of buying them at credit prices out
Of the stores No city can be a
great and prosperous city that relies
exclusively on its agricultural sur
roundings without local manufac .ur-
ing industries, and as a, general
thing, merchants cannot do a pros
porous business on the credit
system.
If the GRApHIC's interviews have
accomplished no other purpose, they
have at least called the attention of
our citizens to the true needs Of the
country and pointed the way to
prosperity.
We are glad to note that large
majority of our people take q hope
full view of the situation and look
into the future with trust and con-
fidence. For our part we believe
the outlook is very encouraging.
We are passing through purifying
process, as it were, and viii come
out of the ordeal all the better for
the experience. We have learned
the true value of money, the neces-
sity for economy and the essential
requisites of wealth and greatness,
With the farmers with well filed
grainaries and a little money in their
pockets, with the car shops about
completed and a furniture factory
to soon begin operations, in addition
to our other manufacturing indus
tries, we have no cause to feel dis
couraged at the outlook.
Every year witnesses in Pine
Bluff many Improvements, adj
ditional enterprises and larger
growth of wealth and population.
Slowly but surely Pine Bluff is
coming to the front as Que Of the
best and most prosperous cities IN
the South.

AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.
Wealthy Boys Working as Common La
borers In Tannery.

TITUsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 20. 1t is not
often in these days that sons of wealthy
parents thirst after practical knowledge
to the extent of engaging in the most
disagreeable forms of manual labor to
acquire such knowledge. At any rate,
but few wealthy young men would be
eager to enter tannery, and, begin
ming at the bottom of the mechanical
ladder, ascend by gradual process and
manual labor to the top: but that is
what is being done in this city by q
couple of young gentlemen from Glas-
gov, Scotland, who came to this coun-
try during the past year to acquire an
insight into the American method of
tanning leather After spending sew
eral months in the New England states,
where some Of the largest tanneries in
the country are found, they came TO
Titasville last week, and after looking
the town over for day or two settled
down to work at the Queen City tan
merry, by consent of Superintendent
Maxwell, to study the methods of tam
ming leather in the establishment. They
are now engaged in stripping hides,
which is considered the most disagree
able of tannery work. .--s~sr----S
