DODDRIDGE.
A Rising Railroad City in
Sulphur Township.

The Texarkana & Shreveport
Railway is now running to Dod-
bridge, in Sulphur township, 28
miles south of Texarkana.
Already a depot has been con-
structed, and the town surveyed of
into business and residence lots and
there is not a particle of doubt as
to it becoming a commercial place
of considerable Importance. Sui
phur township raises from six to
eight thousand bales of cotton, we
are told, and nearly all of it will be
marketed at this new railroad town.
This, together with other products
of the soil, fine timber lands, ETC.,
will insure its making live town.
For some time to come Doddridge
will be the southern terminus of the
Texarkana & Shreveport railroad.
Town is well located, on a high,
sandy plateau, four miles east of
Bright Star and three miles west of
Spring Bank; Kelly bayou, near by,
will receive the drainage and offal
of the place.
Work of opening out the streets
will begin at once. Opposite the
depot is "Fouke Place." a wide plat
of ground, upon which will front
the business houses, to be built at
first; then there are the following
avenues, running east and west:
Collins, Slay, Bryant, and others.
Several merchants are arranging
to locate there right away, and ere
another two weeks elapse, a half
dozen or more new store houses will
be in course of construction. One
or more saw mills are expected to
start up soon,
1t is estimated that not less than
1000 bales of cotton will be brought
to the new town this fall.
Now is the time to get in on the
ground floor" as lots are going
cheap The first stores will reap a
rich harvest,

Are We Going to War.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
AT no time within the past thirty
years has the United States been so
near being involved in war as at
the present. The determined asser-
ton of the purpose on the part of
this government to sustain the priu-
ciple laid down in the Monroe doc
trine as the policy TO be maintained
in the case of Intervention by any
foreign government in the domestic
affairs of any country on this con
tinent, is bringing about crisis be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain concerning the South Ameri-
can State of Venezuela England
has for many years been encroach-
ing on Venezuelan territory, and
seeking to absorb one of the most
fertile and desirable portions of that
country. The policy of aggrandize-
ment and encroachment carried on
by England have reached a condi
ton where the UNDECIDED protests of
Venezuela are followed by demon
stration of force. Mr. Bayard has
been urging England to submit the
points of differeO arbitration,
but all such requests so far have
been repulsed, and it appears to be
the purpose of England to forcibly
acquire the territory in dispute
Should England insist upon her
declared purpose to assume domin
ion over the disputed territory
there will be nothing left for the
United States to do except to stand
firmly upon the Monroe Doctrine.
and resist by force the efforts of
England to acquire the ownership
of the country question.

Like MAR
Was it at the Mouth of Lynn, in Wayne
Comfy Last Monday Evening.

Comfy Last Monday Evening.
A prominent citizen who lives
near the mouth of Lynn, in Wayne
county, was here this morning and
tells of an awful occurrence which
took place there on last Monday
evening, in which several parties
were seriously injured. 1t seems
there was quite gathering of the
citizens at that point on that eve
ming, and a large number of them
were intoxicated. For about one
year there has been an ill feeling ex-
listing between the Napier and
Watts factions over there, and last
Monday evening, at the above
points, this undercurrent became
visible and a general battle between
these factions was the result. The
racket lasted for several minutes,
during which boulders, revolvers
and knives were important weap.
ons and as q result Nose Napier
was shot in the left thigh and is now
confined to his room. Deny Watts,
another prominent young man, was
hit in the head with a boulder just
above the left ear, and is now in a
serious condition. The doctors have
not yet pronounced him out of dan
ger. Several other parties who
were engaged are also carrying
black eyes and bruised spots about
their bodies. Most all the parties
interested are before the grand jury,
now in session in Wayne, and long
list of indictments will be the result.
The affair grew out of an old cleo
ton grudge, with which our readers
are all familiar -Advertiser.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

We suggest that a Democratic
State Convention be called at Char
lesion, say some time in June, next,
to adopt some plan to thoroughly
organize the party in this State;
and also to place the party fairly
and squarely upon the great ques-
ton now agitating the people of the
whole country-the Free and I'm
limited Coinege of Silver, as le-
gal tender on an equality as to
purchasing power with gold. The
time has come when the Democratic
party must speak out unequivoeally
on this question, or it will 90 to the
wall. The Democratic party has
always been the friend of silver, and
10 them the people look for free
coinage, if it comes at all. The
Democrats must adopt platform
touching upon the question, that
does not read one way to fool the
people and is construed another way
to suit the "Gold Bugs"
1t must be outspoken, that the
people will have confidence in the
declarations of the party.
We believe we are as good a Dem
ocrat as any of our leaders, but we
are free to say now, that we are
tired of supporting Gold Bug" can
didates for President, and we believe
the great majority of the party in
this State are of the same opinion.

The measure of our success in life
depends upon our conformity to
truth and reality. Facts and reali-
ties should claim our attention more
than they do. By our steadiness to
reality and neglect of appearances
and frivolity we are made to sue
coed. The truthful person COM
mends the appreciation of all of his
observers. Any effort to misrepre-
sent that which is, or has been, or
shall be, cannot escape the notice of
the public. The greatest thing in
the universe is truth. Business
success or business failure is due
entirely to truth. If we conduct
our business with a firm belief in
truth failure is impossible: other
wise, success is impossible. Just to
the extent which we depart from
truth do we fail. And what is true
of truth as affecting our business
affairs is more than true of all other
things connected with this life.
Without truth in our lives we are
in very poor condition. The
habitual liar can not get employ
ment for the very reason that he is
not trustworthy. There are great
many common maXims of life which
should receive our attention. Why
not read the thoughts of the best
and most truthful thinkers; and
then profit by them?

The New Navy.

ne recent lulcfldIlODal comp
cations in which our government
has become involved naturally rails
es the subject of our ability and
readiness to go to war with foreign
countries. The United States have
never burdened the tax payers with
the maintenance ola large standiI g
army, but past experiences have
demonstrated our ability to raise an
army of sufficient numerical and di, :
ciplinary strength to cope with any
Of the first class nations of Europe
In naval affairs there have been
great improvements in the past
fifteen years. Until ten years ago
our navy could scarcely compare
with some of the smaller nations OF
the world, but during that time we
have easily excelled other nations
in naval improvements and growth
We clip the following from the
Scientific American of March Both
on this subject;
In August, 1882, Congress APP
proved an act to complete the
double turreted monitors and for
the construction of 5000 ton pro-
tected cruiser. This act was SC
vague that it was not until March
?, 1898, that Congress appropriated
s1,3OO,OOO to begin the construction
of four ships. With these ships the
new navy was born, and each year
since it has been added to until now
we have a naval list of nearly a
hundred ships in commission, ready
to be commissioned or building.
Among this number are five
turreted and thirteen single turret
ed monitors, six battle ships, one
coast defense ship, twenty five
cruisers, one dynamite, eight gun
boats, six torpedo boats Gncludiug
one ram and one submarine), orc
survey and one dispatch boat, be
side many vessels of smaller build
and efficiency, serving in different
capacities where they are respcc-
lively stationed.
OF the enumerated vessels, the six
battle ships, eighteen cruisers, six
gunboats, five torpedoes and one
dispatch boat, the naval school ship
Bancroft, the harbor defense ram
Katahdin, the dynamite cruiser
Yesuvius and the coast defense ship
Monterey, are built of steel.
The eighteen armored monitors
one cruiser, two gunboats, the sur
vcy steamer Ranger and the ram
Alarm are of iron, while the old
wooden ships include six cruisers
and the store ship Mohican.
The ships are divided Into four
classes: l Armored, including the
battle ships, monitors, cruisers and
coast defense ships; 2 unarmored
protected vessels, including cruisers
gunboats and dispatch boats; 3 un.
armored ships of iron; 4 wood, com
prising vessels of the old navy.

i Most HonefnI SIN.

In our opinion the most hopeful
sign for the future of the Democrat
ic party is that the masses who con-
stitute it are prompt to condemn
and repudiate the agents by whom
they think themselves misrepres.
ented, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. If the Democrats were
such narrow partizans as TO approve
everything done by a Congress
simply because it was elected as a
Democratic Congress, they would
have no claims upon intelligent and
patriotic Americans anywhere. The
life of party is its fidelity to its
principles. 1t cannot be true to
itself and yield a blind allegiance to
any set of men. Those who faith
fully represent it, it must honor;
those who desert or betray it, or
fail to appreciate and further its
purposes, it must disown. If the
Democrats of the United States APP
prove the record of the Fifty third
Congress, then indeed would the
Democratic party sink into the
same grave which has swallowed up
that Congress. The fact that the
Fifty third Congress has been over
wheImingly repudiated-that the
Democrats of the country refused to
iudorse it at the polls-and that its
subsequent record has been gener-
ally and emphatically condemned
by the Democratic press, is the best
evidence that the Democracy may
yet deserve and secure in the future
what it's incompetent servants iu
the Fifty-third Congress forfeited
the confidence of the country.
Never was a Congress more over
whelmingIy rebuked at the polls
than the Fifty third Congress; never
was one more generally or cordially
denouced during its life and at it's
death; and he is truly little able to
understand public sentiment who
does not know that if last Novem-
ber's election were to be held to
day the verdict against the Congress
which went out of existence on the
fourth of last March would be even
more crushing against it than it was
nearly five months ago. The hope
for Democracy lies not in clinging
to the corpse of the Fifty third Con-
gress, but in turning its back upon
it and directing its efforts toward
securing more competent and more
faithful representatives. of its prin-
ciples and purpose.

THE BURNING STEAMER.
What Steward Z, w. Pussy Says-Ir
snrance and What Will BE Done,

What Steward &. w. Pussy Says-In-
snrance and What Will BE Done.
Gallipolis Journal.
Steward c. w. Pussy, of the Iron
Queen, arrived home Thursday
morning. He says none eff the
newspaper reports anywhere are
correct, and that the statement
made by Earl jerks is falsehood.
Here are the facts: The fire was
discovered while the boat was tied
up at Antiquity. a lamp was up
set by deck hand into stack of
hay. An alarm of fire was sounded
and the entire crew attempted TO
put it out, but were unsuccessful;
and after arousing those asleep had
to run for their lives. The boat
was wrapped in flames in Is min
utes after the discovery and in less
than an hour was completely de-
voured. Matte Mosby, the cham
bermaid, would not have been
drowned had not she tried to save
her belongings. She was last seen
on the fantail, from which point she
jumped into the river and never
arose. Mrs. g. w. Cox had mar
row escape from suffocation, and
had it not been for one of the officers
assisting her, she would no doubt
have persisted.
The beautiful craft burned to the
hull and when her cargo fell within
that structure, it broke in two and
sank with the machinery. Moth
ing could be seen where she burned
this morning, save the stage plank
which was saved and is tied to the
bank. The Iron Queen had $4,000
insurance, and her burning will en-
tail loss of perhaps $4,000. Mr..
Pusey, as did most of the crew, lost
every thing. He could have saved
his belongings had he not thought
of the passengers, who he awakened
himself. The Carrolton has been
chartered by the Pittsburg Packet
Line TO take the Iron Queens place
until the Scotia is repaired, when
they will place the latter steamer in
her place The CarroIton is owned
by the Big Sandy Line, and contin-
ues right along in the Iron Queens
taade. Mate Shriver was the only
member of the crew who was burn
ed. He came near being burned to
death. He remained on the burn
ing steamer until all were safely
ashore. He attempted to follow
them, but was shut off by the flames,
and had to jump into the river to
save his life. He was burned about
the arms and face. The Queen s
machinery and cargo sunk in about
ten feet of water.
