FOR SOUND MONEY.
THAT'S THE WAY PINE BLUFF STANDS.
Nearly All of Our Business Men Opposed to Free Silver at 1e to IA Num-
 Der of Interviews.

Dave B1uthentha1-''I am sound money man. This piece or calico is worth $1. Then l don't want money that you will have to pay &2 to pur7 chase it."
 r. r. Byrd-sIn this house we are all opposed se free silver. Remember what sam Jones says: Show me a free silver man and 1 will show you one who has either made d failure in life or is in debt.
 A. Blum-"I am a silver man, and want 10 see silver placed on a parity with gold" The reporter asked MT. Blum if he believed in the ratio of Is to Well, :" replied Mir Blum, Il don't know about that. I want q good dollar and believe the Govern ment can make such one.
 G. l.. Black well-@I am free silver man, and believe 1t to be to the best interest of the masses of our people If the Government places silver on an equal footing with gold
 Rev. J. l.. Caldwell" am opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver"
 J. F Gillespie < Co.-"Our entire house is for sound money, and op- posed to the free and unlimited eoin- age of silver. ;
 J. Y. Saunders-''You can put me down as silver man on the basis of 1873" /"
 R. M. Knox X Co.-"Every man in this house." replied Mir. $. Y. T. Knox, "'is for sound money, and is therefore opposed to free silver ,
 Hugh F. Westbrook-'1 am no Populite, therefore am opposed to free silver"
 A. Brewster-"I want a sound dollar whether it be of silver or gold. I don't care"
 w. S. Jeter-"Have never given the subject much study, but for the life of me I can't see how the Govern ment can make 65-cent silver worth 100 cents In gold" K. A. Adams" Bimetallism Is all right, but am opposed to free and unlimited coinage" Jeff Hicks-"I am a gold bug, out and-out. Sound money l want, and we will not have it if we have free coinage of silver.' Eugene Fies-"B Better let well enough alone.''
 E.C. Howell--"Gold Is the thing. Free silver will be dead issue in less than eighteen months,o H. H. Hunn-"Thesi silver question in Pine Bluff reminds me of an old farmer who thought he heard innu- merable frogs croaking in a pool near the house. He seized gun with the determination of killing some of them. After vigorous search he found two little frogs, but they had tremendous lung power and were making lots of noise. This story reminds me of the silver meeting at the Courthouse some evenings ago.

PINE BLUEE, ARK, June 25, 1895. Editor Graphic:
 It seems shame that in q civilized community as Pine Bluff that ladies can't walk the streets without en- countering insults from would he mashers who can not claim to be gentlemen. This happened to three ladies last evening, on Sixth avenue near State street, as they were re- turning home together after a walk to the Post offiee. May 1t be said 'tis well therufiians made their exit. us the husband of one of the ladies returned to the above named place on still hunt and of course was pre- pared for bear, and under the circum- stances the police would not have been expected to ofilciate.

kicked Dredge out of doors. The next

beriey, who had administered the estate
of Tom O'Br!en. telling how he had
found a parcel of diamonds that be-
longed to the O'Br!en brothers. There
were good many difficulties and legal
formulaS, but IN the end the diamonds
were sold and their price went TO Nelly
as the heiress OF her grandfather and
great-uncles. They realized some twelve
thousand pounds, for they were all
picked stones.
Nelly never knew how they had been
found. Her only trouble seems to be
