A Novel Scheme.

A new way Of collecting old debts
Is being introduced in Maine towns,
The introduction Of the scheme Is
a novelty too, A young woman Of
alleged great attractlyeness Is the
advance agent, and between her
own attractions and those of her
scheme she Is said TO be having COM
plete success She calls on the
merchants and secures their mem-
bership In the new agency. A few
days after her departure there ap.
pear In town a number Of men
dressed In bright green coats, who
get the particulars Of old debts and
debtors from the members and then
proceed to call on the victims, The
contract provides that the horribly
conspicuous collectors shall make
fifteen calls day on each creditor
meeting him anywhere and every.
where, The scheme Is reported TO
be a big success, as most OF the

The Press that Has Been Doing the

Been Attached

Capt. Payne, deputy sheriff of
Bowie county, served papers yester-
day on William Bomar, in a case of
seQuestration, wherein one Aldrich,
ct, al, of Houston county is plain
tiff The press was taken charge
of by Capt. Payne, but through
courtesy he let the proprietors run
of their morning issue, It seems
that the press has a mortgage upon
it for two hundred and fifty dollars,
aud it is this mortgage that has
kept the Gazette from moving it
into Arkansas before this. Capt.
Payne tells a TEXAREANIAN report
er that he will take the press down
today and store it until day of sale
or hold it subject to the order Of

THE OLD SORE OPENED.
The 0. R. 7, Men are Contemplating
a Walkout on the Cotton Belt

The big daily papers are filed up
this morning with news of prob
able "walkout" on the Cotton Belt
of the telegraphers of that road,
The trouble seems to be a fear that
wages will be cut this summer, The
O. r. T. has had a contract running
the Cotton Belt since 1892, and the
contract read that neither party
should brake it without serving
thirty days notice, Mr. j, A. Ed
son saw proper to cancel the con-
tract and he gave thirty days no.
tice which will be out on the 28th
day OF this month, Now if the OPP
orators are not satisfied they are
bound to give tie notice of 80 days
also before they go out on a strike,
In the mean time, the Cotton
Belt will have made arrangements
to fiji the places Of all who walk out
should The worst come,
We know nothing Of the grievan-
ces Of the men, but we know that
the walkouts have proved fatal both
to The roads and men engaged, and
hope Mr.. Edison will meet and trea
fairly with the gentleman who will
call on him in behalf of the laboring
class, We believe he will do it,

TEXARKANA HARD TO CATCH.
KOlena, the Fast Trotter, Takes in
Another $1,000 at James
vile, Ohio,

The papers that print the races,
gives 'Kolena," the property of
general superintendent W. A. Will
liams, of the Texarkana & Ft. Smith
railroad of this place, another vic
tory over ten starters at the race
course at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, the
stakes being $1,000. The time con-
sumed in making the last mile was
2l63, taking the three last heats
from ten other horses. There were
two favorites in this race, one being
Queen Allah" with a record Of
2:l3 and a racer that had never
been down before in her class.
Kolena has won two races this
season of $1,000 each, the first one
being on the Minneapolis track. Mr.
TIE Campbell who is managing this
horse, having leased from Mr. Will
liams is meeting with success in a
financial way, In the yearling colt
race, Mr. Campbell captured a big
purse with Texas colt named Lora
Hill, and his winnings outside Of
stake money is said to be large.
We congratulate Mr., w. A. Will
liams on owning such a nag as Ko-
lena and hope the horse will grow
stronger and faster as the days roll
around and make name and for
tune Tor it's clever owner.

WHAT BRILLIANT ECONOMY.


How do the inhabitants of the outer
districts which have been plunged at
night into outer darkness, like the
style Of economy instituted and in
vented by the non-partisan City
Council? The essence of wisdom it
exhibits must be overwhelming to
ordinary minds.
The question of paying for the light
ing of the streets out of the public
funds. is of course decided in the mega
tive by the wonderful reasoners who
supported the argument of darkness.
But common folks with only common
sense to guide them, will ask if it is
wrong ito pay for two hundred and
twenty-five lights out of the general
taxes, how it can be right to pay out
of the same funds for one hundred?
Also, if it is unjust for rich property
IoWners in the central parts of town to
pay for lights in the poorer districts,
how much justice is there in making
the poorer taxpayers, Who are now
doubly plunged in nightly gloom, pay
for the street lights in the BUSINESS
districts?
If there must be a cheese-paring
policy adopted, why not make all the
lighted districts share and share alike
in the process? Light all the lamps
part of the night, put 'em all out the
other part? Some of the solons argu-
ed that the property owners in the
business centre did not care for or
want the street lights anyhow. If
that is true, why not put them out and
let the other parts of town have the
benefit?
"Oh," comes the reply, 'they must
be kept alight because people from all
parts of the city frequent those
Ithorougihfares. They come to theatres,
dancing parties and other resorts, and
50 the street lights should be kept
going there for the public benefit"
Exactly. And there, wise gentlemen,
is where you give your case away.
Street lighting is pro bono publico. 1t
is a public benefit and therefore should
be paid for out of the general public
funds? Do you see it?
Plough around this stump as you
will, there it stands, unmoved by all
the wind of long debates. The only
right, just and satisfactory plan is
that which has been followed from
the beginning. Pay for street lighting
which is for public convenience, out of
the public funds The present city
authorities are not so vastly wiser
than the men who shaped the public
policy Of Salt Lake as to create feel
ing Of alteration in the public breast,
or to throw the old authorities into
the shade.
The experiment does not startle any
one with its excellence nor Will it give
visitors here any great opinion of the
enterprise, progress and public spirit
Of Salt Lake city. Our municipal
managers ought to stir up the, grey
matter of their ponderous brains so as
ito evolve some plan to economic, in a
brighter way than to put out the peo-
pies lights in order to- save a little of
the city's money.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-01-20
REVERSED HIMsELF.

1t has been rumored for two or three
days that an endeavor was being made
by certain prominent Republicans, to
obtain a reversal of Judge Bartch's de-
cision, denying the writ Of prohibition
in the election case. Read the court
report in another column and draw
your own conclusions!
It will be remembered that the judge
granted the writ Of mandamus but de-
MED the writ of prohibition. 1t was so
reported in all three of the local pa
pers. 1t was the concluding language
Of Judge Bartch's opinion. Not only
that, but when the application was
made for division of the costs in the
prohibition case, and which are said to
run up to eight or nine hundred dol
lars, the judge denied the request and
50 they fell upon the petitioners.
That is what prompted the pfteous
! appeal for money, which has been re-
sponded TO by some foolish and some
very designing persons, who want to
see their names paraded In an alleged
| troll of honor AS if there was any
particular ''honor" in appearing in
print as a donator to fund for fees
for attorneysl But the money had to
be raised TO pay expenses, which were
in great part unnecessary, because all
the testimony introduced was disre-
garded by the court, as extraneous and
nothing to do with the Gegal question
| involved in the case.
It seems that Judge Bartch now says
the writ will not be issued but 1T is
held pending an appeal to the Supreme
Court That appeal now will have to
be made, we understand, by the defend
ants in both cases, that of the prohi-
bftion as wen as the mandamus. II
was announced, alter the judges deci-
sion, that the defendants would appeal
from the ruling on the mandamus and
the petitioners on the writ of prohfbl-
ton. But by what means His Honor
has been brought to that which ap.
pears to be a reversal of himself is a
matter of conjecture.
AS we have remarked, it was wlliS-
pered around among Republicans that
| this would he done, but Democrats were
not inclined to believe it. However
the ways of the law are wonderful tc
the uninitia,ted, and persons outside the
inner circle Of legal and judicial mys-
teries can only marvel and wait.
l It is to be hoped that the matters
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-01-20
ANOTHER MISERABLE FAILURE.


The plot to blacken the character of
The majority Of the Utah Commission
because they are Democrats is still
working. 1t therefore becomes neces-
sary that the untruths which have
been published as part of the plot
shall be exposed. The Herald has
never believed that these gentlemen
were parties to anything in the shape
of fraud in connection with the returns.
but has believed that their course has
been strictly in accordance with the
law, as they understood it, and as
construed by the best legal talent
they could secure.
The latest attempt by the Tribune
to put them in a false light is to state
that they have changed the practice, of
the former Commission, in sending out
blanks, and generally as to the canvass
of returns. Here is an extract or two
from the charge:
The Commission supplied the Judges
of election with tripncate blank forms
Iof abstracts, together with postpaid
envelopes, and with specific directions
to the judges to fill out the forms and
return them to the Commission.
This was not done by the present
Commission. Why? Was not the pur-
pose to get into the boxes, if neces-
sary? 1t looks so.
The Herald says the present Com
mission did exactly the same as their
predecessors had done from the be-
ginning"
They did nothing of the kind. They
sent out no triplicate abstract blanks
to be filed out; they insisted on the
registration list, THE poll list and the
tally sheets; and with the slightest
excuse went into tine ballot boxes, some
thing the old Commission never for one
moment thought of doing because
there is nowhere any authority of law
for such procedure on their part.
We here and now brand the state
ments in the foregoing paragraphs as
entirely and Intentionally false. If
the story is not purposely invented to
malign the Commission, it is consum-
mate ignorance refusing to be in
J formed. The Commissioner who has
carried to the Tribune everything done
| by the board of which he is a member,
whether public or private, could have
| told the Tribune the truth if that had
been desired.
We have before us now the forms
furnished by the former Commission,
and those by the present Commission
Those for 1894 call for the same things
as those for 1898, 1892 and 1891. They
were issued in triplicate with the
same kind of envelopes and similar
printed instructions. In other words,
the present Commission has done ex-
actly what the former Commission
did in relation to these matters. That
is to say, the Tribune, as usual lies
under a mistake, or its chronic con-
dition of wilful Justification.
The Tribune talks a great deal about
the judges of election making alb
stracts of returns. That is as we
stated before "a palpable absurdity.
! An abstract Of returns must Of neeas-
