STARTLING TRUTHS.
Eueene V. Debs Says He will Soon Disclose ~ to the PubIIc.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 2S.-There is con siderable speculation in labor circles concerning the nature of the "Startl- ing truths" which Eugene Y. Debs has declared he will divulge at the Auditorium this evening. According to the local labor leaders who have had charge of the arrangements there will be good-size audience to greet the former chief of the A. k. U., when he steps on the stage of the man. moth hall to tell what he knows of the General Managers connection with the July strikes. It is rumored that MT. Debs will aim to show his Hearers that the manages deliber- ately preeipitated the great strike in order that they might have an op- portunity to annihiiate the American Railway Union; that the greater part of the riots, the burning of cars and other forms of law breaking were the acts of persons in the em- ploy of the general managers asso- ciation whose object, he alleges, was to turn the tide of public sentiment against the strikers. It is further explained that it was Mr. Debs' inten- ton to endeayor to prove these facts at the recent trial of the A. k. U., directors, but disappointed in his purpose and believing that the chances of another trial are exceed ingly remote, he now seeks a public arraignment of the railroad officials while the matter is shll fresh in the public mind After his engagements are fulfilled in this city he will go to CaK0rnia to organize branches of the 4. R. U., and to personally inves- tigate the grievances of the fire-men against the Southern Pacific road. Should the conspiracy case against him and his associates come to trial, the hearing will begin in the United States District court May 6.

AMUSEM ENTS.
s'Shore Acres"

This beautiful play, by James A. Herne, was presented at the Opera house last evening and was warmly received. tsShore Acres' is pen picture of New England life, in which the authors description of fidelity to New England character, and vanity of domestic and emo tional interest was only accomplished after careful study.
 The title refers to farm on the New England shore, which Martin Berry, not wicked, but penurious, maddened with rage when thwarted, designs to sell in building lots which his older brother, Nathaniel Berry, tries to dissuade him from doing; particularly as tender and sad ties endear him to certain point of the land, "where mother is buried. " The postmaster, MT Blake, is Mar tins evil genius in this matter, and desires to marry Martin s daughter, who loves a young doctor. The postmaster accuses the doctor of rob- ping Lis safe, but Nathaniel defeats the scheme by getting the daughter, Helen Berry, and the young doctor, Sam Warren, aboard the Liddy Ann to elope. When the light in the lighthouse goes out, imperilling the Liddy Ann, Martin attack Nathan iel to prevent him relighting it, and the next scenes shows the vessel in a sto m. At last the young man and wife comes home with a baby. who is the agent of reconciliation. The financial quandary into which Mar tin has got himself is relieved by Nathaniel's back pens on, and every body goes to bed, Nathaniel, the last to go, pottering about, locking up, etc, for many minutes silent, and finally disappearing up the stairs in the quiet house as the cur tain falls.
 The acting in this concluding scene is remarkably good, and the company, throughout, are adequate to excite and maintain the interest of the audience. The play is a whole some and worthy addition to the best class of modern dramas, and is well worth seeing. There should be more plays like ''Shore Acres.

Until yesterday it was thought that the epidemic of small pox in the city of Hot Springs would amount to nothing, and that there were no causes for apprehension.

WHO IS TO BLAME?
Kicks Coming from Saloon Men as Well
 as Citizens.

At the present time a remarkable state of affairs exists in Pine Bluff, which have no parallel in the history of the city Al the last session of the Jefferson grand i2ry that body issued an order to the Sheriff of the county demanding that he enIorce the Sabbath laws, and setting forth the fact that numbers or merchants, confectioners, bakers, butchers and saloon men were violating the laws by selling goods on the Sabbath day. and informed him that stop must be put to it.
 The following week a number of confections, fruit and cigar dealers who did business on the following Sunday after the order of the grand jury was issued, not deeming that the law applied to them, were ar rested and fined. Since then these people have complied with the law strictly, as OUT people are unable to buy bread, meat, fruit or confections on Sunday. Bat, on the other hand, some of those places that the law should have applied to most forcibly the saloon-are wide open, and our people can buy just as much red liquor, and become intoxicated, as they wish. Some of the saloon men are obeying the law, whiie others keep boldly open, and are ire quented Sunday after Sunday by some of the officials of the city who go there to get their tanks filled, pre- sumably free of cost, to keep their mouths closed. This is wrong, both in principle and law. IT one saloon is allowed to do business on Sunday, all should be granted the same privilege, as should also the baker ard butcher shops, which are sonecessary to poor people during the coming warm weather.
 The GRApHIe does not know just whose duty it is to enforce the Sab bath laws, but is certainly the duty of some one to see that justice is done to all alike.
 Only few Sundays ago a poor negro barber who shaved a acustomer upon very earnest solicitation, was arrested by a deputy cons table and carried before a magistrate and fined for violating the Sabbath laws. Just across the street was a saloon ''wide open" with the "mixers" be- hind the bar "dishing'' out .'pisen" to the assembled crowd No ar rests were made in this place, yet the officers are as we'll aware that it is kept open Sabbath after Sabbath as is the GRAPHIC.
 We have no fight to make particu- larly on saloon men, but we believe that all of them should be treated alike, and we think that our city, township and county officials should have backbone enough to enforce the law all around, when they once attempt it, and not "make fish of one and fowl of another"
