The above gentleman, just 81
years ago, 4th of March 1874 open
ed up business in this city, as a
druggist. He started out on a
small scale then, for the town was
small, and so was his capital, but by
hard work and close attention to
business he has built up a trade and
business that anyone should feel
proud, When Mr.. Smith landed in
Texarkana he saw nothing but pine
stumps and big pine trees, with a
few scattering shanties on Broad
street, but pinning his faith to the
future of the town, he rented a
small house, and put out his sign,
CITY Drug Store, and for twenty
one years, that sign has ratified in
the breeze of the ups and downs of
business, without a single stain, of
financial nature against it. Many
men have come, and many have
gone, men with larger capital, bet
ter showing, better backing, and
you might say, better equipped, for
business than was our friedd j. II.
Smith, when he modestly came to
the city, as one of the small traders
without any frills, fuss or brass

prospered, would be telling our

He is the proprietor of the "Smith

now quoted in all druggist circulars

If, as the Minneapolis Tribune in
sists, it was the common under
standing that Mr.. Bede resigned
virtually under pressure because il
had been intimated to him that he
could not go on making campaign
speeches and continue to hold office
under President Cleveland" then
the common understanding needs en-
lightenment. The simple facts are
that some paper during the cam
paign stated that the president had
repeated his order of 1886. Mr.. Bede
saw this and, in an effervescent mo-
ment, impulsively, and without con-
sulting any one, wrote a letter, ten
dering his resignation. It was the
first intimation the department of
justice, or any other Washington de-
partment, had that Mr.. Bede was
making campaign speeches. Mr..
Olney accepted the resignation in a
letter in which he facetiously said
that one of his marshals was in jail
because the same spirit shown by
Mr.. Bede had led him to shoot his
disputant and, to save Mr.. Bede from
a similar possible mischance, he
would accept the resignation. These
are the facts, and the intelligence Of
the readers of the G o , is not
''insulted" by their repetition. They
were made aware of them at the
time. AS it still seems to be neces-
sary, the G l o b e begs to insult

So the bill goes through, pushed by
sentiment and craft joining forces;
the appointments are made and also
the assessments. The workers get
no more than their brothers offdthe
force; they get, however, an idea
that public service is a fraud; that
cheating the public is no sin. dand
that the least service they can give
for the money they really get isothe
less world. The sentimentalists COM
placently imagine they have done
something to elevate labor; the
''pantatas" and the campaign fund
are contented; the public work is
slighted; taxation is increased and

whenever sentiment controls pub
lie affairs. It's good intentions are
never realized because selfish, crafty
and unscrupulous men see in the
benevolent schemes their opportun-
tiles for personal gain or advance
ment, and are quick and shrewd
and adept in seizing them and
utilizing them to the fullest. The
visions of the dreamers are never
realized, for the simple reason that
they omit from their calculations
human nature; or, if they admit it,
they sublimate it into unreal ideality
When the plan of betterment is put
to the test of practice, it breaks
down because the human agents it
must necessarily employ are merely
human, and look out for number

duced to reality, would result in a

THE NEW WEAPON.

Practical experiment with the new
gun that has been adopted for use in
the navy seems to establish all that
has been claimed for it. 1t is the in
vention of citizen of the United
States, and as now perfected seems
to be the most effective weapon in
use for its purpose in the world. The
caliber is only .236 of an inch and
the barrel is 27 inches long.
This makes the appearance of the
new gun almost like that of a toy
rifle, but its effectiveness is some
thing extraordinary. While the
weight Of the rifle is only from six
to eight pounds, the velocity Of the
bullet at the muzzle is about 2,4OO
feet per second, the effective range is
5000 yards, and a bullet has been
driven through from four to five feet
of dry oak timber.
The steel jacketed bullet has been
adopted for regular use, and the
charge consists of thirty-six grains
of smokeless powder. It is said that
there is practically no recoil to the
new gun in spite of it's extraordi-
nary power. A conflict between two
forces armed with weapons such as
this would be deadly beyond all
parallel. While great things are
claimed for the -Jorgensen re-
peating rifle that has been adopted
for the army, it seems likely that a
competitive test would show the new
arm Of the navy department to be
more modern and superior in prac-
tical use
