Whatever difficulty there may be in
proving the fact, the public will not
doubt that the twenty men whom
Marsahal Lannan arrested at Penn q
Grove, N. j., Friday, were on their
way to aid the insurgents in Cuba. If
so, they are in the eyes Of the law law
breakers. The public however will not
regard them as criminals, but rather
as patriots who for love of the land of
their birth were about to embark on
a hazardous enterprise. Hence the
more difficulty there may be in prov
ing that they were on anything more
than picnic, the better pleased senti-
mental and sympathetic people will be
with the outcome. The United States
government has not recognized Cuba
as an independent State, nor even as
having belligerent rights. Our govern
ment is therefore in duty bound to tho
friendly government of Spain to prevent
iilibustcring expeditions. On the other
hand, our people in their individual
capacity have recognized Spain's rule
in Cuba as tyrannical and oppressive.
They accordingly wish the Cuban
patriots we'll; and they would rejoice
to sec the people of that island make
good their stand for Independence.
They will be rather sorry that in the
unequal contest which is waging the
Cuban cause can not have the adyant-
age Of the twenty eight package Of arms
and the twenty stout hearts on whom
Marshal Lannan laid his official hand
yesterday But such is the decree of
fate. Instead of fighting the Spanish
troops in Cuba, these twenty patriots
will have to make the best fight they
can in the United States court in vii
mington. Marshal Lannan did his
duty in arresting them, and diu il well.

Recently seven cases of typhoid fever
broke out in suburb of Buffalo, and
it was noted that all of the cases occur
red in households which were supplied
with milk by the same milkman. In
vestigation disclosed the fact that this
milkman's wife was down with typhoid
fever before any of his customers were
taken. He had nursed his sick wife
and taken care of milk at tho same
time. and in this way the disease had
spread to those who drank the milk.
Purity of milk supply and the care
and cleanliness of those handling it,
are OF prime importance to the public
health. This Buffalo millsman was
simply selling disease and death at so
many cents a quart Doubtless he
was quite ignorant of the crime he
was committing, but that excuse did
nothing to relieve those who drank
the deadly milk. In picking a milk
man it is well to consider not only the
cows he owns but also the milkman's
own character and intelligence, for
milk is a distributing agent for dan
gerous diseases.

1t is not to be wondered at that Re
publican papers and politicians kick
against the steady stream of news OF
the increase in wages for workingmen.
The news strikes at the very vitals
of the protective tariff fallacy. Sena-
tor Lexow of New York State, put that
phase of the matter bluntly when he
said: This matter of reported in
crease of wages in various directions
is temporary thing, If ii is other
wise VIC are all wrong, and have been
wrong all the time. " OF course Senator
Lexow does not like to think he has
been wrong all the time, and so he says
it is temporary" When some of
the other politicians strive to meet the
situation, feeling in their bones that
the revival of good times under the new
tariff is permanent instead Of temper
airy, they shout that it is not an in
crease but only restoration" of
wages. Some, like our local contem-
porary, attempt to meet the blow by
the childish whimper that it is all
Democratic lie" We believe that
our contemporary actually "nailed
down the lie''in yesterdays issue. All
the same, it is a genuine and wide
spread movement towards higher wages.
Almost million wage -earners have re-
ceived an increase of wages since the
Democratic tariff became law. New
factories are springing up and mills
long idle are either in full blast or
being refitted The fallacies of Nc
kinleyism are being rudely swept away
by this current of increased wages.
Doubts as to the effects of reforming
the tariff are dissipating in thin air.
" Protection" is revealed as false god,
now that the people have full view
of its clay feet. In the language of
Senator Lcxow, the protectionists
fare all wrong and have been in the

A MONSTER SAURIAN.
An Alligator Over Ten Feet Long Killed
 In Bayou Bartholomew.

Friday morning a negro by the name of Logan Clarke was hunting on Bayou Bartholomew, near the place of Mir. Louis E. Cheek, five miles south of Pine Bluff, when he discovered on log in the bayou an immense alligator. He shot and killed it, and Saturday MT. Cheek brought t32e head of the reptile to this city. He says the saurian meas ured ten feet, five inches in length and was ono of the largest ever seer in this section of the South. It seem that alligators are quite numerous in that vicinity, for only few days ago some men engaged in cutting cypress timber came across one in the bayou which got away from them after being badly wounded Young alligators are frequently seen in the bayou near the place of MT Cheek

Coming. Ex-Prlest sIattery.

Father Slattery, the famous con verted priest, is the most powerful and eloquent speaker on "ROmanism' that has ever appeared in our city. He challenges any priest or bishop to meet him in debate. AS it is his first visit to Pine Bluff, we predict overfiowing houses. It is the best class of people who go to hear him.
 Believe nothing that you read or hear against him, as all such things are written and said by ignorant persons and Catholics. MT. Slattery will reply to all such islanders. He is a most charming and captivating speaker. If you go once, you will go again. He comes highly endorsed. He is to lecture i'll the Opera-house on Thursday night, May 9. subject: "Why 1 left the Roman Catholic Priesthood, and What I Saw there in.'' Mrs. Slattery, formerly known in the convent as Sister Mary Eliza beth, will lecture, to ladies only, on Friday afternoon at 2:30. Father Slattery will lecture to men only on Friday evening. Mir. Slattery is a
 handsome, fine looking man, six feet three inches in height. In every city hundreds are turned away unable to gain even standing room. His lec- ture will be the talk of Pine Bluff.

BLIND TOM.
An Interesting Mental study is Furnished by Him as Well as Good
 Entertainment.

A fair sized audience witnessed the wonderful performances of Blind Tom at the Opera-hoase last night and all were highly pleased and enter tained. Blind Tom is q study and Il puzzle Almost an idiot, as par adoxical. as it may seem, he has a most remarkable memory, and his powers of imitation are unequaled. Last night Tom introduced himself and preceded each humber on the i program with such remarks as have 1 heretofore been made by his manager, and always referred to himself in the third person. His selections were from the best composers, as well as q number of original features. His conception of sound is something extraordinary, and he can initiate any sound he hears on the plano. His limitations of a church organ, guitar, banjo, Scotch fiddler and a railroad train were perfect and highly enjoyed by all present, but his 
 rendition of the battle of Manassas, an original composition, was.s thing grand and extraordinary. This number alone is well worth the price of admission. In it are clearly heard the marching of troops, the shrill call of the bugle, theroaring of cannon and the re- treat, and as all the sounds of battle are so distinctly conveyed, the nearer almost imagines himself gazing upon some distant field of carnage.
 At the request of Il number of the audience, Blind Tom will repeat his performance at matinee at the Opera-house at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. The price of admission will be 50 cents for adults and 25cents for children down stairs, and 9 cents in the gallery. The performance will begin promptly at o'clock, as Blind Tom leaves on the 4:40 train for Little Rock.
