RIGGINS BROWNING WORK.
Brockway's New Bar Fixtures Work of Artistic Grace and Beauty
 Be Surpassed.

By next Saturday the new bar fix lures recently manufactured by D. B. RIggin for Brockway's saloon on the corner of Main and Second avenue, will be completed and in position in 1 the saloon. Already the fixtures are set up, and the workmen are now adding the finishing touches. The entire outfit is made of native Ark ansas oak and is one of the most beautiful, artistic and attractive pieces of workmanship of it's kind to be found ill any city in the United States. This is saying great deal, but nevertheless it is true. The side board is about twelve feet in height divided into three sections with ornamental oak figures on the top of each section. In the manifestations is a large mirror 50x1O0 inches; on the right and left of this are two other side mirrors each 50x50 inches. In the cornish above are eight smaller mirrors arranged in regular sections and at an angle that reflects the light upon the front bar below.
 The bar in front of the side-board is twenty feet in length, made of oak, but with q mahogany top, the mahogany being shipped here direct 
 from Honduras. The hand-rail to the bar is also twenty feet i'll len sth and four and one-half inches i'll liam- eter. The turned work on the front bar is the result of most skilled work manship, and is of an specially at- tractive style. The side-board and bar are vanished and polished to perfection and the oak beneath makes striking background. On the right side of the saloon hall is the wine case This is also made of oak, about eight feet in height and ten feet in length. This case is diyid- ed into three sections with a mirror 30x36 inches in the center. On each side of this are shelves with glass doors in front for the depository o fine native and imported wines.
 The beer and ice chest which was also manufactured by Mir. Riggin, is one of the most ornamental and con yenient cases of it's kind to be found in this city.
 To manufacture all the above fix lures it required five men ten weeks at steady work. 1t is certainly a masterpiece of workmanship, and de- fies foreign manufacturers to com pete with it, not only as to quality, but as to cost also MT. Riggin has some beautiful monuments of artistic work in the way of drug store and bar fixtures in this city and in other places in Arkansas, but Brockway's olitstrips them all He is fully equipped for all such work and any thing of this kind sent out from his factory comes from the hands of skilled workmen who deserve great credit for the same
 To highly appreciate this piece of workmanship it needs only to be seen

FALLEN BY THE WAYsIDE.
No News of Additional Subscriptions to the
 Furniture Factory
It has falIen bY the wayslde.


 These lines seem very applicable to the furniture factory enterprise just at this time All interest in the mat ter seems to have been buried in the great vortex of Indifference, and then, too, neverto be resurrected
 Is it possible that Pine Bluff is en- tirely dead to enterprise? If so, then the progress and advancement of our city is paralyzea, and all on account of the inability to raise $9 800. What is the trouble2 The trouble is simply that there are men in Pine Bluff whose money manipulates the keys just as it suits them. They have enough of this worlds goods to see them safely through and they don't give a continental darn about any body or anything else. If this is not the trouble, we would like to know wherein it lies.
 Great pity, 'tis true, but 'tis true nevertheless. Pine Bluff is made up of big fish and small fish, and the big fish are masters of, the situation. Here We are ill the heart Of d great timber country and yet we can't or ganize q $50.0O0 furniture factory. Here we are in the very center of the kingdom of cotton, yet we can't build a cotton factory. With re- peated failures in the bottom lands and short crops in the hills the des- tiny of Pine Bluff is inevitably settled
 The continuation of a few more years like the two just passed will coaviicA us that we will need no banks. no railroads, no business houses, no nothing; we will be tetotally swamped.A A few more failures among the farmers of this country will tell the tale. A tide of financial depression will sweep over this country utterly annihilating the record of the panic ofs'93, andleaving the footprints of total destruction. Can we afford to be carried along with the tide, or shall we strike with our oars and yet control our oppor- tunities?

Mr.. Stevens net Affected.
Portland Press. I

There 10 not man, woman or child in
this couotry, whose opinion 10 regard to ex-
Minister Stevens conduct at Honolulu has
been affected in the slightest degree by the
verdict of condemnation returned against
him by the House of Representatives last
week. Those who believed his conduct
was proper have not had their
confidence shaken an atom, and those
who thought otherwise will never
point to this action of the House a. in any
degree confirming or tending to confirm
even the correctness of their belief. The
reason of this is obvious. In order to in
telligently pronounce judgment upon the
character of mans conduct it must first
be ascertained what that conduct is. There
must first be an impartial investigation of the
facts. But the House Of Representatives
made no investigation whatever. 1t made
up verdict without hearing any evidence
whatever. If it had decided the character
of bis conduct by Tipping q cent, its YER
dict would have been entitled to just as
much respect as the one Representative Nc
Creary made up for it. There is not the
slightest humiliation put upon Minister Ste
vens by this verdict. What humiliation
there 10 in it falls entirely on the members
of the House of Representatives who as
sented to it.

The newly elected United States senator
from Mississippi, Mr.. McLaurin, takes
prompt occasion to serve notice that he is
not Cleveland cuckoo. He is opposed to
the President upon the silver question, the
Hawaiian question and the Peckham ap-

McLaurin had the open opposition Of the
