BILLY BRYAN, of Nebraska, Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, and the rest of the silverites are contenting themselves as an answer to Mir. Carlisle, by showing what they are pleased to call his inconsistency. But that will not be sufficient an swer to the people who want infor- nation on the subject. If Mr Bryan and Mr. Blackburn can answer Sec retary Carlisleis arguments, they should do so; and if they can't, they should be frank enough to say so. But they can't do it. Mr Carlisles Memphis speech is simply unanswer- able. As to Mr. Carllsle's ineonsist- ency, we only have their words for it. The Secretary says he has never been at any time in his life an adYo- cate oi the free and unlimited coin age of silver, while Bryan and Black burn say he has, and so there you are. But what if he has? Is that any answer to the reasons he now urges why the United States should not, single handed and alone, without the cooperation of other nations, enter upon the free and unlimited coinage of the worlds silver2 Does that suffice to show that with free coinage silver can be maintained at a parity with gold, and that every dollar will be equal to every other dollar in pur- chasing power and in the payment of debts? Suppose Secretary Car lisle has at this time of his age and experience in life changed his opinions from those held in 1878, what of it? Do not Messrs. Bryan and Blackburn know that nearly every great man in both English aud American history has in later years changed his views on public ques7 tions from those entertained in earlier manhood? Among these we mention Sir Robert Peel, Edmund Burke, Charles Fox, Lord Chatam, Gladstone, and, in our own country, Webster, Clay, Calhoun and a host of others. Well has it been said that consistency is the virtue of little minds, , and that "wise men change their opinions while fools never do.

THE Little Rock Press is in row with Mir. John Brodie County Clerk of Pulaski county, because that newspaper did not get the delin. quent list this year. Under the statutes the County Clerk has the right to publish the tax list in any newspap r he desires, provided that the newspaper is published in the county. The Arkansas Democrat got the tax list, hence the Press grievance. Probably Mir. Brodie, like the good Democrat that he is, pre- ferred to give the tax list to Dem ocratic rather than a Populistic newspaper To the victors belong the spells" said Andrew Jackson, and ''Old Hickory" was a mighty good Democrat.

sioncrs Arc NOT Alarmed.
County Commissioners Smith, Nor
ton and DullArd say they are not In the
least disturbed by the preliminary IN
junction granted by the court restrain
ing them from letting contracts for the
erection of the new court house under
the Meyers plans. There IS not much
doubt, however, in the mind of any
one that the injunction will be made
permanent after the hearing next Mon
day The petition of the orators COM
plains that the commissioners have ad-
vertised for bids for the erection of a
new court house and propose to award
contracts according to plans and speci-
fications prepared by one p. e. Meyers
that the said commissioners have not
secured a site on which to erect such
court house, nor have the plans been
accepted by them; nor have the plans
and specifications been submitted TO
the Judges Of the court of common pleas
as required by an act of assembly;
wherefore the county commissioners
have no legal authority to enter into
a contract to build a court house ac-
cording to said plans or to accept bids
for the construction of the same.
The petitioners therefore pray that
the county commissioners be restrained
from accepting any bid or bids for the
construction of a court house or any
part thereof, and from eXpending any
of the money of the county in the erec-
tion or construction of such building
until plans and specifications have
been submitted to the judges of the
court of common pleas and approved
by them and until a suitable site for
such a building is secured by them.
Attorneys l.. II. Bennett, G.. l.. Hal
sey and Henry w. Palmer are counsel
for the petitioners and will make a
strong case.
The commissioners laugh at the pro-
ceeding and seem to regard it as some
thing in the nature of a joke. One
of them remarked that the judges want
a new court house and want an ele-
CANT building, and will interpose no
serious obstacle to the plans and pur-
poses of the commissioners. Doubtless,
the judges appreciate the necessity of a
more convenient and commodious court
house, but they also have some respect
for public sentiment. They know
there is no necessity for a million dol
lar edifice, nor will thcy place the
stamp Of their approval on the reckless
manner In which tho commissioners
have proceeded in this matter. Nine
tenths Of the people look for and ex-
pect a permanent injunction early next
week.

To Prevent Vandalism,

1t Is not very greatly to the credit of
this community that Mayor Nichols
has deemed it necessary to appoint a
large force of special policemen for duty
in the cemeteries to prevent the steal
Ing Of flowers placed on the soldiers
graves yesterday by loving and rever-
cnt hands. 1t seems incredible that
such vandalism is possible. but the ex-
perience of former years warrants the
action of the mayor. The person who
would thus despoil a soldiers grave de-
serves to be drummed out OF the COM
munity by the living comrades of the
dead veterans.

THIEVES AND FIRE BUGS.
Daring Robbcrios and Reckless In
ceudiarism.


ccudiarism.
The people of this city and surround
ing towns are gradually becoming
aroused to the fact that the community
ia infested by gang of daring burglars
and incendiaries, and 1t Is of the high
est Importance that the utmost
vigilance by observed not only by the
public authorities, but also by the citi-
zens themselves. Extra efforts should
be put forward to capture at least some
of the dcsperadoes who unquestionably
have established their headquarters in
this locality. The attempt to fire four
different buildings in a single night has
already been noted in these columns.
as has also the robbery of Albert Lewis
store at Harvey's lake. and others of
smaller magnitude. To these crimes
must now be added the daring burglary
at the residence of Richard Martin, of
this city. when 81 900 in money and sill
equal amount was secured. These bur-
glaries have been committed by GRIM
inals who have the means of acquaint-
ing themselves with the circumstances
that make successful burglaries easy.
There is not much doubt that the in
cendiary fires were ignited by persons
in league with the burglars to facilitate
robbery while attention was attracted
to the fires. Greater vigilance by the
police would seem to be in order in this
city.

During the morning committees of

burglars Agnin.

On Wednesday evening thieves en-
tered the house of Richard Martin, a
coal agent, on the corner of Weller and
South streets, and made clean sweep
of almost every article of value in the
house, including a pocket-book contain
ing $160 in cash. All the silver, jewelry
and a gold watch We're missing. Mr..
Martin at once notified the police, who
have been constantly on the lookout,
but thus far have obtained no clue
to the perpetrators.
This town is evidently the temporary
headquarters of gang of burglars,
for the work that has thus far been
done is that of experienced men.

HOLIDAY nj the Court House.

There was little business. done at the
court house yesterday. Sheriff Walter
served notice of the preliminary in
junction on the county commissioners
restraining them from awarding con-
tracts for the erection of the new court
house, and then closed his office for the
day. The grand jury met in the morn
Ing and adjourned without transacting
much business. Judge Rice held equity
court in the morning Just long enough
to conclude a case that was on. The
court house presented a deserted ap-
pearance for the first time in many
weeks.
