A New Telephone Company.

A committee is calling upon our business men today to ascertain
 their views in regard to whether they desire to see another telephone company established in Pine Bluff and if they will patronize such an en- terprise. The Harrison Telephone Company desire to erect telephone system in this city if the City Coun- cil will grant them franchise. This company agrees to give equally as good service as the one we now have and the rates per instrument will be $2. 90 per month for places of busi- ness, and $1. 50 per month for resi- dences. This is big cut on the present rates and would save our people big money, and at the same time, make the telephone of much greater value, for at those prices every body could afford to have one.

Father Lucey Says SorreIIs Catholic oaths Are Spurious.
No Priest or Layman Ever Took Such an Oath, and He Saw Them Sun
 day for the First Time.
The Catholic Church on Public Schools.

From the Press Eagle, April 30, 1895.l
 Editor TIE PRESS EAGLE.
 1 have been asked what I thought about the burlesque entitled Another Parallel" and published in Sundays Graphic, over the signature of ". B. Sorrells. I feel very much like the old farmer, who had been arguing with a drummer who was selling a new-fangled machine that was to replace all of the old farming utensils When the drum mer got through with his bewildering statements, and asked the farmer what he had to say now, the latter replied that ''when man lies like that, there is no use of saying anything"
 The introduction states that the Graphic published the A. P A. oaths If so 1 have missed number of that paper That the A. P. A. or Amorean organization has not molested Catholics or injured them in way is refuted by facts. Bringing disreputable man to viify and outrage their most sacred feelings; taking an oath to boycott the members of the church; distributing car features of their belief and practices, as foul as they are false; the intentions of further work in this line, and further agitation, which has led in other places to incendiarism and assassination these and other things, are evidence enough of the nature of this Know nothing and partly Republican organ ization and It's war upon Catholics
 The organization is made necessary, it is said, by the "purported" oaths of of Catholic priests, bishops, cardinals and jesuits. If, then, such oaths are not taken, there is no necessity for the A. P. A. or Amorean Society. If these oaths are taken, 1t is news to me. am a priest, and 1 have never taken such an oath, and would not. No such oaths are administered in the Catholic Church. If the obligations taken at ordination by the ministry of the Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal and other Christian churches were printed
 in parallel columns, there would be no great difference. And if the same thing was done for the several obligations talk en one, two and three hundred years ago, the Catholic vows would lose noth- ing by the comparison.
 With all due respect to the advocate of "satan in Pine Blulf,p it must be said that the references to the position of the Catholic Church in regard to education is very unfortunate for his cause. They are misrepresentations Father Phelan is editor of the Westerqa Watcl,man, at St. Louis. He is the owner, publisher and editor. It is not an organ Of the Cath

furnished by the company, and the city would be bound to accept water furnished from any source, no mat ter how impure. The report was ordered spread upon the records.
 Alderman Howell believed it the duty of the Council to make the Water & Light Co proposition of some kind. He moved that the city pay the Water & Light Co.,, $10, 900 per annum for water and light as furnished under the old con contract. and that a copy of this proposition be submitted to Judge Caldwell. The motion was debated at length and on a vote being taken was lost.
 Aldermen Boyce and Atkinson both offered resolutions but the Council voted against them for fear of damaging the city interest in the suit now pending in the courts be- tween the Water x Light Company and the city.
 Alderman Veil offered resolu- tion the tenor of which was that the city would pay the Water x Light Company cotract price for contract oo,,yiao This was also voted down. but reconsidered and then laid upon the table until the next meeting, when it is hoped the Mayor would be present and the knotty problem solved.

olies anywhere, nor does it pretend t
 ments, and experience seems to have
 proven to him the folly of arguing with
 certain class of people, His remarks
 about public schools can thus be weigh
 ed properly, but they should be given
 with the proper context. MT. w. B. Sorrels is a member, am
 told, of the Methodist church. Rev. Dr. A. R. Winfield, who died few years
 ago, was for many years the editor of \ the 1rkalasas Methodist, which was then, and is now, the organ of the Methodists of Arkansas. According to my under standing of the poity of this church, the Arkdnsds MethOdist is under the direct control of the three Methodist Confer ences into which the State is divided, and any statement not in accord with Methodist belief would be repudiated by those Conferences. The utteranees of Dr. Winfield were never repudiated, but his memory was honored by a memo rial church in Little Rock, the only one perhaps, in Arkansas. The following words were used by Dr. Winfeld "The public schools are Goddess, and are chiefly taught by Goddess men and women." His co-editor, Col. Thorn burg, in speaking of the State Universi- ty, styled it "dude factory" Ca thing of brick and mortar" It would be doing a grave injustice to the Methodist church of Arkansas to infer from such statements that it is opposed to the pub lie schools, and it would not be honora- ble in me to make references by name to great and good men like Winfield and Thornburg, and declare them enemies of popular education, when I know, if their full views on the question were made known, they would not be so re- garded.
 The highest authority in the Catholic church ofthe United States is the Coun- cil held at stated times by all the Arch bishops and Bishops at Baltimore. At the last meeting the following resolution or decree was passed
 Popular education has always been a chief object of the Church care. Knowl- edge enlarges our capacity, both for our self-improvement and for promoting the welfare of oul fellow men; and Tn so noble work the church wishes every hand to be busy. Knowledge too is the best weapon against pernicious errors. It is only a little knowledge that is a dangerous thing. Nor is the endeavor of the Church for her own schools any antagonism to the State; on the contrary it is an honest endeavor to give the State better citizens by making them better Christians"
 Theonly honorable course to be pur- sued in presenting the doctrines and practices of a church is to obtain them from the regularly established authority of the church. J. M. LUcEY.

THE REASON FOR CHEAP
WHEAT.

We have listened TO quite a
number Of farmers in Worces.
ter County in the past year
DISCUSS the reason for the low
price OF wheat. Each Of the
two great political parties have
in turn been blamed Tor the
downward tendency OF this
greatest of cereals. but we
have always claimed there
was no politics in it; that the
price. like that OF any other
commodity. was governed by
the simple rule of supply and
demand. a few years ago
when the price of wheat was
up America was almost supply
ing the world with il. Now
see the difference. To-day
millions OF bushels OF wheat
are being put on the market,
from India. South America and
other countries, where it can
be grown cheaper than in
America. This fact is brought
right home to us to-day by a
special dispatch from Pittsburg
which says:
Antonio Navarro. business man
Of Buenos Ayre>. and \. NJ. Clark, Of
New York, are here 10 interest Pitts
burg manufacturers in the exporta-
ton of their products to the Argentine
Republic They will attempt to work
up a reciprocal trade in hardware,
cutlery. barbed wire, galvanized iron
wire and steel nails. agricultural,
mining and railroad supplies Of all
kinds.
Mr.. Navarro thinks he could, with
steamship line between Buenos Ayres
and New Orleans. ship wheat cheaper
10 the United States than il can he
shipped from the West
Here it is in plain English,
plain as daylight that wheat
will never again bring the
prices OF former years. except.
probably. when the crop in
some sections is decided
failure. and then it will take a
temporary jump. This means
that our farmers must turn
their attention to other crops.

MIR. CARLIsLE's LETTER

The letter of Secretary Car.
isle to the Senate is one which
dissipates the gloomy forebod-
ings as to a lack OF revenue TO
carry on the government. Mr..
Carlisle's letter is brief and to
the point, and estimates that
the revenues for the current
year will exceed expenditures
by S22, 563,oas. The text OF
the letter is as follows
In reply TO Senate resolution OF
January -. 1895, that the Secretary
of the Treasury be directed To inform
the Senate what Is the estimated lie
ticiency in the revenues of the govern
ment 10 pay current expenses between
the 3lst day of December, 1894, and
the 3lst ,lav of December, 1895. and
il the Sl53. So. 1888 cash balance

December. 1894. will he sufficient to
meet such deficiency. | have the honor
L. state that from estimates made
upon the basis Of laws now in force it
is believed that for the twelve months
ending December 3lst. 1895. the rev.
enues of the government from all
sources will exceed ordinary expendi-
lures by SD. j63.023.
Respectfully,
j. G.. CARLISLE. Sec'v
Treasury officials generally
express the opinion that Sec
rotary Carlisle's estimate of a
surplus of Sco, 500, 900 for the
calendar year 1895 is conser-
vative. 1t is argued that the
customs duty on sugar alone
should bring in at least $685.
600, 900 during the next eleven
months. and that the revenue
from the income tax is likely
to reach $40, 10000. The re-
ceipts from general customs
and from whiskey Withdrawals
are expected to materially in
crease from now on, which, it
is believed. will bring the re-
ceipts for the twelve months
up to about $3.50, 500, 900.
The disbursements for the
year, it is thought, will not
exceed $4,000. 900, leaving
a surplus after deducting the
81 100000 deficit for January
OF S22. 500, 900. The inter-
nal revenue officials, in fgur-
ing on the receipts from in
come taxation. estimate that
the returns prior to July 1 will
amount to $40, 100000 and
for the remaining six months
$50. 900. 600.
