Keeping constantly at it, in
bringing fresh goods out to
the sunlight, is what draws
the crowds of buyers to our
store. We always have some
thing new and serviceable to
show them--and they general
ly buy.
We have another supply
of the celebrated Premier egg
cup, in which eggs are cooked
and served at table. The
annoyance of scorched fingers
in opening eggs is avoided, the
annoyance of getting aged and
decrepit eggs IN your glass is
reduced to nil.
Gentlemen dislike trousers
baggy at the knee as much
as a lady abhors last years
hat. The way to avoid hav-
ing baggy trousers is to use
a trouser stretcher-har g up
the articles in the stretcher
at night and they are perfect
in the morning.
Any old thing will kill
reaches but the best article is
the patent roach trap we sell.
You've been waiting for theml
Another convenient article
is the combination kitchen
fork, on the end of which is
hook for removing the pot
lids, twenty cents takes one.
We have cups and saucers
at a dollar a oozen-we have
genuine English decorated
Coalport ware, cups and sau-
GERS, for after diuner coffee,
tea or chocolate, from rs
cents to $3.50 each. These
are beauties.
The Silver white flame oil
range is a marvel and it sells
for 81. We would like you
to examine this.

WHAT OF HAWAII.

AS the proDaDllltleS Oh mchln-
leys election as President of the
United States appear to thicken,
such an eventuality in its relation
to the Republic of Hawaii be.
comes more and more topic OF
local concern. Surmises as to
the early consequences are vari-
Gus. Although the claim is made,
but on grounds that the BULLETIN
has deemed rather vague, that the
declared policy of the Republican
electoral platform is annexation,
1t is extremely doubtful even if
such should prove the case if
overtures looking to tue consum-
nation would be initiated by the
Washington Government. There
is a strong opinion prevalent that
McKinley's administration would
await the renewal of the PROPOSE
ton Of tho ProvisionalGovernment
in 1893, in some more definite
form than a diplomatic communi-
cation in general terms or the
transmission of resolutions passed
by the Hawaiian Legislature. 1t
is in the same connection believed
by some who study the situation
at this end of the line that the
Hawaiian Government will not be
prepared to offer SO absolute a
surrender of Hawaiian independ-
ence as was offered by the COM
missioners Of the Provisional
Government. There is no indica-
lion that the planters, always in
the saddle here, are prepared to
exchange their pet contract labor
system for the security and per-
Mauent settlement OF the country's
destiny which annexation would
procure. Rather the contrary. 1t
is deemed more a probability
than o mere possibility, there
fore, that in the event of
McKinley's election this Govern
mapt will make fresh overtures
for political union with the Unit
ell States under an arrangement
whereby the institution of con
tract labor would be preserved in
Hawaii, or at least that it should
not be Immediately abolished but
gradually changed 10 system OF
free labor by process something
like the abolition of slavery in
Brazil. This course on the part
Of the Hawaiian Government, it
is held by Americans here who
keep in touch with the spirit of
their country's politics, would sim
ply result in the indefinite post
ponement of annexation. lie Am
erican laws regarding labor or
anything else are not good enough
for Hawaii, then Hawaii can
scarcely be considered as quite
ready to acquire the protection
and other benefits of the Ameri.
can flag. What this Government
may do after the presidential cleo
ton will decide its sincerity to-
ward it's fundamental principle
OF political union with the United
States more precisely than miles
of columns of correspondence from
the islands in the American news
papers.

came Minister to France he
devoted a good deal of his
time to the conduct of his pa
per, the Tribune. The copy
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit of making most
of them interogative, as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
suicide?" or "Did she kill him
for love?" or "Will the Presi-
dent sign it?" etc.
The whole paper was Speck-
led with interrogative points.
The thing had been going for
weeks, till one day a postal ar
rived, addressed to Mr.. Reid,
and marked personal. 1t read
as follows:
"pm getting awful tired of
your questions. Why don't
you find out something? A
great newspaper is supposed to
know everything, and ought
not to annoy its readers with
needless inquiries. This morn
ing you asked: "Will Mr..

do | know?
That night an order came
that the Tribune must ask few
er questions.
In spite of Whitelaw Reds
experience we are tempted to
ask the people OF Hawaii a few
leading questions, just an even
half a dozen of them.
QUESTION 1-Haveyou seen
the new improved American
MEAT and VEGETABLE Chop
PER? If you haven't it will pay
you to call and take a look at it.
1t has an automatic rotarymove-
ment as we'll as the up and
down chopping motion. They
are simply and cheap and a
child can operate them.
QUESTION2-Have you seen
the new BRASS BIRD CAGES
we have just received? They
are beauties and they only cost
from $3.50 to $3.50 according
to style.
QUESTION3-Have you seen
the PAINTED Bird Cages we
are offering at $1.25 to $500?
QUESTION 4-Have you seen
the HARTMAN STEEL WIRE
MATS we are offering? The
rainy season is coming on and
they are just what you want.
They are cheap, cleanly and
indestructible.
QUESTION5-Have you seen
the RAIN GAUGES we have
lately imported? With one of
these little instruments you
can laugh at the Clerk of the
Weather and give him a point
er after every storm.
QUESTION6-Have seen
the latest thing out? 1t is a
portable bootblack stand, made
of iron, which can be screwed
to a post anywhere and moved
in any direction. Must be seen
to be appreciated. Complete
with brushes, two kinds of
backing, ETC., only $3.50.

AWFUL DEPRAvITY IN CoREA.
A Seoul dispatch of September
26 says: The Kings ordinance
published in an express OF the
Official Gazette last night was to
the following effect: "Our
treacherous servants have abused
the law of the country and reck-
lessly introduced many changes,
calling the Council of State by
the new name Cabinet, and repre-
senting the righteous in the
worst light and giving support to
the depraved. The sacred law of
Heaven has thereby been violated,
and general uneasiness caused
both at home and abroad. Our
servants of State and Our beloved
subjects have been alike bitter in
their regret and indignation. AS
such a state of things is incom-
patible with the prosperity of the
Kindom, We now abolish the
name of Cabinet and call it by
the old name the Council of
State"
POLICY TOWARD CoREA.
According to a metropolitan
journal, says the japan Gazette,
Count Okuma, the new Minister
for Foreign Affairs, is said to have
been taken aback at the failure of
the Ito cabinet in their policy to-
ward Corea when he came to be
acquainted with the real nature of
affairs. 1t is, indeed, worse than
had been generally rumored or
anyone had been led to imagine.
The ex-champion of the OPPOSE
ton is stated to be almost at
loss to know how to begin work to
put the house in order. The re-
call of Mr.. Hara, minister at
Seoul, is believed to be first step
toward the realization of Count
Okuma's foreign policy.
RUSSIA ACTIVE.
The Japan Gazette says: The
behavior Of Russia with regard to
the Pacific is of a nature to excite
uneasiness unless both Japan and
England have come to the conclu-
sion to give her free hand in the
North. In a week transports con
tanning 1000 troops passed through
Singapore, the troops being des-
tined for Vladivostock. At that
rate the soldiers in Eastern Sibe.
ria will soon number the 100000
at which some people have esti-
mated the various garrisons."
The Gazette also says that the
Russian feet out there is al
ready formidable.
THE SULTAN WARNED.
The French press announce
that M. Cambon, French Ambas-
sador to the Porte, in an interview
with the Sultan warned His Ma
jesty that if the troubles in Tur-
key were renewed it would mean,
if not the end of the Otto
man Empire, at least the end of the
present dynasty. M. Cambon
further added that the European
entente was perfect. 3d..

COTTON REPORT.
S. G. Alexander & Co. 8 Letter To
the New York and Liver
pool Markets.
PINE RIrFr. May IS. 1896.

GENTLEMEN;-The crop in this
State taken as a wholeis doing well.
Some localities have been without
rain for some time, and complaints
of bad stands and damage from
drouth are coming from such plaees.
Parts OF Chicot, Brady and Drew
counties have been without rain for
seven weeks.
The excessive rains in the North
ern Fart of the State did some
damage and the Arkansas river is
very high for this season of the
year.
Chopping is about completed in
the river districts, and some are
going over their crops the second
time. The hill country is not SO far
advanced All of the early planting
is fine; it has squares and is about
three weeks early, but throughout
the State the crop is ten days TO two
weeks earlier than last year. We
are told thatit is five weeks from the
time the squares appear until the
bloom comes, and about the same
time after the bloom until the boil
natures. II this is true, picking will
commence the latter part OF August,
and we will have n fair movement
in September. This of course is
dealing largely in the future.
Last years experience IL still fresh
in our minds. Up to August the
crop promised * millions. and
within - to 20 days it was cut y
million bales. The July estimates
were around 81 millions, and in
October the statisticians lowered
their ideas to 81 millions, but with Il
good picking season 81 might be
reached. Sentiment seems to fol-
low cotton in all its stages. 1t is
fascinating from start to finish and
ean promise more and return less
than anything grown by the plan
ter.
At present there seems to be senti-
mental apprehension ofan enormous
production the coming season, but
the chances are even for an average
crop. The worms, rust, drouth and
bad picking season are still in the
future. and those figuring on 10 to II
million bales are apt to be disap-
pointed. Arkansas is in better shape
than ever before and her people seem
to be happy; they have plenty OF
every thing to eat and owe very little
money. Yours respectfully,
S. G. ALEXANDER & Co.

A SPLIT EITHER WAY.
The slivsr Delegates Will Omit the
Party if Gold Is Adopted While
The Gold Delegates Will
Bolt Against Silver.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 27.-The
work OF constructing the platform
of the National Prohibition con
vention has been turned over to
IA half-dozen subcommittee, which
are to meet and begin their labors
late this afternoon. 1t many be
predicted that il n currency plank is
inserted in the platform a bitter
struggle will ensue, for one-half the
delegates are opposed to taking up
the financial question at all, while
the other half is hopelessIy split
between gold and silver. The West
ern delegates, led by Ex-Governor
st. John, declare that ii a plank can
be constructed in favor OF the gold
standard and adopted, they will no
longer remain in the party. On the
other hand, the opposing forces,
under the leadership OF National
Chairman Dickie, Isaac Il. Funk, OF
Brooklyn, and William G. Ward well,
Treasurer of the Standard OH Co.,
will bolt in case the convention de-
clares for free silver. The Subcom-
mittee OF Tariff will probably re-
commend for the adoption the same
tariff plank embodied in the plat
form OF the national convention OF
1892.

June the 9TH to select delegates to
the county convention to he held for
the purpose OF selecting delegates to
the State convention to be held at
Little Rock on June the 18th. In
view of this action of the Central
Committee, it is important that

ship committees call n meeting at
once for Friday, June the 5. In the
absence OF any formal call, the
Democrats should meet and select
their delegates to the county conven-
ton on the above named date.

The weather has generally been
favorable for growth of all crops,
but in some localities the showers
have been so frequent as to interfere
with cultivation, and in consequence
there is some complaint of cotton
and corn being grassy. On the 9th
err hand, rain is much needed over
parts of the southern section OF the
state where the drouth remains
unbroken Generally, however,
cotton and corn are good
stand, healthy and sturdy growth
and growing nicely. Cotton is form
ing squares over parts Of the State
and early corn is tasseling.
Wheat and oats are improved, the
preceding drouth has injured these
crops seriously. Harvesting will be
gin in about ten days.
Irish potatoes are fine over the
east and central parts OF the State
and are about ready FOR harvest
while in the west portions they have
been injured by drought.
Glover and grasses have grown
fast and a good is assured, hay
ing will begin in about ten days.
Fruit continues to fall from thu
trees and in general the crop will bt

an important conference held ut the
Waldorf today it is considered more
than probable that two great patri-
otto societies, the Daughters OF the
American Revolution and the Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution, will patch up
their differences and unite into one
body under one name. The breach
between the Two organizations
which are so nearly alike in every
way has been the cause of a series OF
internal dissensions inimical to the
best interests of each and consoli-
dalton Of the two will be hailed with
satisfaction by members of each
society throughout the country.

A SILVER Man
Has a Few Words to Say Anent the
Gubernatorial Race.

4 hold that J H. Harr0d IL a bet
ter silver man than Dan W Jones, :"
said a local silver man ana member
Of the Pine Bluff FREQ Silver Club to
Il GRAPHIC reporter Yesterday, be
cause Harfod is advocating silver
within the Democratic party. and |
don't believe we can ever have free
silver except we get it through the
Democratic party. Dan W. Jones
proposes to bolt If things don't go
his way at the National Democratic
Convention. Now, in my opinion,
that would be the death knell of
silver Where do these boilers pro-
pose to 60? Into the Populist par
typ This nation will never indorse
nor elect to power the dissaiisfie
element composing the Populist
party who want to run the Govern
ment on the intellect of a constable.
The people of this nation VIII never
lndorse their chimerical aud auareh-
istie ideas, and there is no hope for
silver in that party Then the bolt
ers would have to organize party
of their own, independent OF the
Democratic and Republican parties,
and that would result rs it did in
1S60-in the election OF the Republic
can party. There is no hope then,
for free silver in the Republican or
Popuist parties, or in an indie
pendent movement. Then. how is
Dan Jones and his crowd of boilers
going to get free silver? They would
absolutely destroy by their course of
action every hope for free silver. Ii
we are ever to have free silver, it
must come through the Democratic
party, and that is the way Harrod
proposes to get it. Ii we can't get
it this election, then, perhaps we can
get it Mt the next, or the next, cleo
ton. Fer these reasons / think
HarrOd a better silver man than
Jones, and as one OF the original
silver men in thecounty, Ipropose to
do everything can for Mr.. Harrod,

will make fatal mistake, in both
our county and State politics, II we
indorse a boiler for Governor.
