A CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvEN-
TtON

There has developed much less
opposition to the calling of con-
stitutional convention that we an
ticipated. 1t may be that the all
powerful official class have their
henchmen instructed so that at the
proper time, a quiet coup d. etat
may lay aside the measures prOvid-
| ing for such convention now
being considered. Our present sys-
tenn, from the standpoint of the
Office holder, could not be improved
on. 1t has set up an oligarchy of
highly paid subsisters on the peop-
lie whose number and power in
ereases instead of growing less. A
new constitution means for them,
/ the surrender of cir vested rights
therefore, those desiring good gov
ern nent may expect gigantic
struggle before this powerful class
| can Oo overcome.
Argument is not the weapon of
! the taX-eater. He is oven more
cognizant of the evils of the pres.
ent system tn IN are the other citi-
zens. He does not cOntrovert the
reasons advanced in favor of a new
constitution, but he is, nevertheless
not unmindful of his own interests
and always has the ear of the I'M
scrupulous legislator. AT the prop
er time the latter is not wanting
with the pretext or frivolous OH
LECTION by which the measure is
| pigeon-holed in some committee
room or permantly laid on the tab
lie. 1t Is so in the present instance
and it will require the strong voice
of public sentiment, vehemently ex
pressed, to cause the legislature to
take proper action on this measure.
The advocates of q new constitu-
ton have an able ally in the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal which has
favored it in some powerful edito-
rials. The cost of such cOnven.

THE bill making it unlawful to
sell patent or proprietary medi-
cines without the formula being
printed on the bottle, has been
killed by the legislature. We think
this is Just, as all firms would i'm
medlatly withdraw their trade
from this state rather than give
away the secret of the success of
their medicine as a healing remedy
and if our people wanted any of the
valuable medicines now sold here
they would be compelled to send
outside the state. There is enough
restrictions on legitimate trade in
this State already.

iSIT OVERPRODUCTlON?

A great m my cry it is overpre-
duction which has caused the low
price in wheat and other products.
But we maintain that this is not so.
1t is under consumption. The fact
is money is too scarce and people
w O are willing to work and earn
money are unable to do 50 because
there isn't any money to earn. In
proof of our theory, the report of
the statistician of the Agricultural
Department on the crops of 1894
presents these statistics Of wheat
yeald and prices for the past year
in comparison with annual aver
ages for certain specified periods:
Farm
Yield, Aggregate Value
Bushels. Value. Per Bush
1894 ACC, 4l6 S225, e02,025 $0.4s
1894 i76,675,02S 321, S35 Of

ls71-s0. Sl2, 152725 327,i0I,25S 1.0l
The decline IN the price per
bushel has been steady and OF
remarkable extent, but fol
the last Is years. Certain
ly it cannot be said that
production has increased in cores
ponding proportion. In point OF
fact production has not increased
at as rapid a rate as population
meantime the amount marketed
abroad of wheat and wheat flour
has been well maintained. and on
the face of the returnes the over
production theory of accounting for
the astonishing fall in prices does
not appear very conclusive. MOI
does it appear that reduced cost Of
production and transportation car
account for all of this decline.

\ White Man Discovered Robbing a Cash
 Drawer.

At late hour last night, or rather an early hour this morning, Private Watchman Porter Boyd, on passing the saloon of Fred Senyartl, or Bar raque street, saw s man i'll the sa- loon behind the counter, robbing the cash drawer. He It once called for assistance and the back and front of the building was guarded and the man was arrested. He proved to be one J. |. Burke, who has been loafing about the city for several weeks. When Mr. John Campbell closed the saloon up last night he says that he went through the building and put everyone out, as he thought, and if Burke was i'll the saloon at the time, he was hidden. There was only $S in the cash drawer, and that was recovered. Burke had helped him. self to cigars, whisky and beer very liberally.

A Discovery that May Throw Some Light
 on This Subject.

Dr. A. B. Loving is having some re- pairs made on his residence on South Walnut street. The other day while carpenters were tearing off portion of the weather-boarding they came across a rats nest right in the center of which lay "pop" match which had never been lighted. Now, sup pose rat had hit the match with his teeth, what would have been the result2 It will be readily answered that conflagration might have en- sued, not only 10 Dr. Loying's home but to adjoining property as well, and when the newspapers came to chronicle the event it would have been published as a fire of incendiary origin. All of this goes to prove that people cannot be too careful in leav- ing matches about their homes, and if this article shall serve to make our people more cautious in that regard it will have accomplished it's pur- pose.

Physicians have discovered q serious danger to the public health i'll Il new form of baking powder large quantities of which have been put upon the market under different names. Alum baking powders have been so unanimously condemned as unhealthfnl that careful lhousekeepers will no longer buy them knowingly. The bitter taste which they leave in the food becoming recognized by con- sumers, the deception practiced in selling them for pure cream of tartar powders could be no longer main tained. To overcome this bitter taste the manufactures are now using a mixture af alum and phosphate acid. Chemical tests, however show that the phospate and alum of the baking powder are, by the heat of baking, partially resolved into phosphate of alumina, a salt declared by chemists to be poisonous and which, being readily souble i'll the gastric juices, is dangerous ta be taken into the stomach.

will Make an Example of Him.

This morning Mir. Chas. Senyard, Chief of the Pine Bluff Fire Depart ment, noticed a negro drayman haul ing dead horse through the city and going west. He followed him to see what disposition he would make of the carcass, and saw him dump it under the river bank just above the mouth of Brump's Bayou, and in the city limits. The drayman was arrested and will be heavily fined for his offense. Mayor Gold smith says that he is determined to put stop to dead careasses and filth being thrown under the river banks above the city; and he will appoint special policemen to watch and arrest all parties who are guilty of this offense. He will receive the hearty thanks of the people who live in the northwestern part of Pine Bluff if he does succeed in suppressing this evil.
