Atkinson that it was simply an inn possibility for his company tofurnish all well water during the dry season, when the Arkansas river was low, and to allow such an enormous waste on the part of consumers. He proved by unquestionable figures that the city consumes over ,000, ,O00, gallons per day, which amounts to about 200 gallons per day for each man, woman and child in Pine Bluff. This enormous waste, he says, can only be prevented by the city au- th0rities arresting and punishing all parties who wantonly waste the water, or else by allowing the com pany to adopt the metre system, which it has asked permission of the Council to do. He claims that if the meter system is adopted the company would be able to furnish its patrons with well water and would only have to resort to the river in an emergency, such as a prolonged fire.
 Mr. Ledlie claims that his company is more than anxious to furnish it's patrons with pure and wholesome water, as it is to it's interest to do so, and that no expense has been spared to attain this end. Numerous wells have been put down at an enormous expense, but the water, in sufficient quantity, is to be found only in the wet season. This morning the guages showed that one-half well and one-half river water was being plained that it was necessary to use the river water to keep up the 60 pound fire pressue required by the city.
 Being forced, on account of an inability to furnished enough well water the company agrees to make a reduction of $3,500 annually to the city for the privilege of using river water when necessary. The river water has been analysed by compe- tent chemists and it proves to be wholesome, and, considering all things, it does seem that our people should not expect this corpora tion to do things which are impossible, and when it does its utmost to give satisfaction. it would be nothing but right on the part of the city and her representatives to meet it half way. 1t is the duty of the members of the City Council to look after the best interest of the city, but it is not the wish of our people, or should not be, to oppress any enterprise, and if the Water & Light Company submits fair and equitable proposition, the Council should accept it. This is but justice and right, and we believe it will be done. As business men, the members of the Council should give this matter their attention; as honorable men our people feel sure they will act. They do not require that the Council should either rob or cripple the Water X Light Company, but merely wish that which is just. The existing differences must be adjusted soon or else the city will be without water entirely, for the boilers shown the GRAPHIC re- porter this morning are almost gone,

NOTHING BUT PLAYER,
so FAR, HAS RESULTED FROM THE CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE WATER & LIGHT PEOPLE
 AND THE CITY.
The Water Company Anxious for An Ad- jnstment of the Differences With the City and Will Consent to
 Any Fair Proposition to
 Attain this End.

SsT2or the past two days a special committee from the City Council and representatives of the Water X Light Company appointed by Judge Cald- well, have been ill consultation try ing to adjust the differences between the Water & Light Company and the city of Pine Bluff, but so far the conference has only resulted in player.
 The Water & Light people have submitted proposition after proposi- tion to the Council and Special Com mittee which have been rejected, and now they claim that they have arrived at the end of their TOW, and that unless a settlement of the exist inG differences are reached at an early date, the works will be shut down.

CHARGED WITH THEFT.
Texas Constable Charges Dynamite
 Hicks with Stealing a Watch.

The Sheriff of Jefferson county is in recept of the following letter which is self-explanatory:
 ALvoRD, TEX, April F, 1895. To the Sheriff of Jefferson County:
 SRI see you have one Hicks in charge in your county. He left here with a watch which belonged to another party. See if he has it yet. The watch is described as follows: Silver, open face with gold-plated chain, somewhat worn, the watch had figures on the face; Fen ton move ment, stem winder, and stem set.
 Please notify me if you find the watch and oblige, w. A. STEVENS,
 Constable.
 The authorities say that Hicks had no such watch when he was arrested here, but he has a hand some gold one. The reporter is also informed that Hicks says he knows the man Stevens, who is a Constable. New Magistrates for vaugine Townships. From good authority GRAPHIC reporter learns that MT. 0. w. Alex ander has been appointed Justice of the Peace of Vaugine Townshipby Gov. Clarke, to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Mir. Al. J. Stewart. The Governor has also appointed Mir. Lew Owens to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Magistrate Goldsmith. The com missions for these gentlemen have not yet arrived, as the Governor was sick yesterday and had not signed them. Both the appointments are good ones.

DIR. j, s. SEYFERT the Republican candi-
date for Coroner, is worthy of the vote OF
every member of his party. At his home he
stands high as physician and gentleman.
The Herald, Democratic paper published at
his home, says: 'Dr. 5, J Seyfert has a large
circle of acquaintances throughout this sec
tion and irrespective of party affiliations,
they should come out on Tuesday and cast
their ballots for so worthy candidate. They
know Dr. Seyfert and will do credit to
themselves by casting vote for him"

among those of the minority, and at times
even among those of the dominant party.
The issue is an important one, and, as we
have previously stated, is above and beyond
all partisan feeling. Were Judge Lyon the
inferior of his opponent and not endowed
with the same legal ability, there might be
good reason for his defeat But such is not
the case, and hence he should be retained in
his present position upon the bench by an
overwhelming majority, and thus establish
the question of a non-partson judiciary so
far as this country is concerned.

THE JUDGESHIP.

The judicial contest in this county is an
important one, and presents the question of
minority representation in its strongest light.
1t goes deeper than the mere qualifications of
the two candidates now seeking the suffrage
Of the people.
Both Judge 7. II. b. Lyon and p NJ.
Dunn, Esq, are men of irreproachablo char
acter, and their legal abilities are of such
high order that either would grace the posi-
ton with honor to themselves and credit to
the judicial ermine. These statements are
admittedly true, and none but the most
bigoted partisan would question their truth
fulness. Fortunately the latter class of voters
do not predominate in schuylkill county,
The justice of minority representation and
non partisan judiciary are the issues in the
contest that overshadow mere partisan feel
ing and oblitente party lines.
The argument in favor of a uon-partisan
judiciary is recognized in the law creating
the Superior Court, without which the friends
and admirers of Judge Oliver F. Bechtel
would have little hope of his election The
makeup of the boards of County Commits
sioners and County Auditors is further proof
of the justice of the claim that the bench
should have minority representation, Take
the argument, for instance that is just now
being used by the Democrats in advocating
the election Of one Of their candidates-on
the plea of minority representation,
Judge Lyon was appointed to the position
he now ILLS so acceptably by Governor Hast
ings upon the solicitation and recommends
tion Of the members of the bar, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, He has presided over
the Orphans Court with dignity, and his
decisions have been rendered in accordance
with law and justice. The issue presented by
our Democratic friends in nominating
candidate for the office is purely partisan
Nc other argument can be produced in behalf
Of Mr Dunn's election. If it is advisable to
have minority representation in other and
less important branches Of government how
much more so is it in the judiciary Without
