But it is needless to prolong the chapter. This catalogue of ''irreg- ularities" could be multiplied indef- initely, but enough has been adduced 10 substantiate the GRAPHIe's charge of Irregularities in the administra- tion of the affairs of the city" This cumulative evidence of official wr6ng-doing comes from the official records of the city, and is not of our making The Lord High Mayor Of this town, in his gay and festive manner, challenged the GRAPHIC to the proof. and we have produced it. We do not charge corruption" either on the part of the Mayor or Council, but we charged the city authorities with ''irregularities" which we have proven to be .'irreg- ularities, The Mayor, in violation of the laws of the State, and to the detriment of his competitors in trade, is taking advantage of his of ficial position to increase the trade and profits of his private business. The interests of the city are subordi- mated to Goldsmith, and to the pri- yate business of L. E. Goldsmith & Co. He has manifested a thriftiness in turning a public office to private advantage unprecedented in this city. And of this the City Council has had full knowledge, yet a major ity of the Aldermen have winked at it, and allowed the Mayor to have his own way in a manner that violates the laws of the State, which the Mayor has sworn to support.

this would-be dictator who would run everything in the city to his own personal liking is subject to criticism like all other mortals here below.

LORD HIGH MAYOR.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

We mention these facts and recite these figures simply to show that our Mayor not only draws his own salary, promptly collects his own of flee rent, and the unlawful accounts of L. E. Goldsmith & Co. against the city, but that he collects the salaries of many of his suhordinates as we'll. no doubt due the firm of L. E. Gold smith G, Co. for groceries and sup.- plies furnished during the month Nor do these figures include the oth- CT officers, subordinates and en- ployes of the city who collect their own salaries and sigu and receipt for their own scrip, but who pay tribute, in order to hold their jobs, over the counters of L. E. Goldsmith S Go.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-04-05

During the month of December or January, Mir. J M. Hightower, one of the Aldermen, called attention to these glaring 'irregularities" and wilful violations of the statutes of the State on the part of the Mayor by offering the following res olution in meeting of the Council:
 Be it Resolved by the City Council, That hereafter the Board of Public Affairs require the Chief of Fire De partment to make list of wants on the first of eanh month for horse feed, and submit same to not less than three reliable feed dealers in the city for prices, accept lowest prices and file all offers of said dealers with Council at the end of each month.
 At the introduction of this reSo- lution, which interfered with his bus mess methods, we are informed, the Mayor became greatly offended, but not sufficiently embarrassed by pub- lie attention being called to his deli cate situation as to cause him to re- linquish so soft a snap. At first he declined to submit the reso solution to the Council with the remark that it was matter which belonged to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Board of Public Affairs, but finally yielded under protest to submit the resolution to the Council, but out of courtesy to the Mayor. or some oth- CT cause. only two votes could be mustered in behalf of the resolution. After this overw helming victory, the Mayor felt renewed confidence in his splendid business abilities, and has ever since accorded the firm of L. E. Goldsmith & Go. the exclusive pat ronage of everything required by the city in his line.

THE LORD HAY0R.

The GRAPHIC is compelled to per form a very unpleasant duty this morning. It would prefer in all cases to scatter roses instead of thorns, but this work, of an unde- sirable sort, is not of our own choos- ing. The Lord High Mayor of this town threw down the gauntlet to the GRAPHIC for its charge of ''ir- regularities" in the administration of city affairs and the GRAPHIC ac- cepts the challenge. If the result is unsatisfactory to His Grace, the Lord Mayor, the responsibility must rest upon his head The investi- gations we have made have resulted in finding glaring irregularities. The Mayor is furnishing feed and supplies to the Fire Department in express violation of the laws of the State, and it will be seen by the figures adduced that it costs more per head to feed the horses in the fire department than during the previous administration, notwith- standing the fact that city scrip is worth nearly double as much now as it was a year ago. Another fact has also been developed, and that is that the Mayor is making more money out of his office than any of his pred ecessors. Notwithstanding the salary of the Mayor was raised just before the present incumbent was inducted into office, and that the salary is greater now than ever be fore, the present Mayor finds if quite easy to make public office con tribute to his private business. He evidently believes that public ohiceis is 8 private snap to be worked for all it is worth. He draws a salary from the city as Mayor; rents the back end of his store to the city for Mayors office; sells feedstnffs to the Fire Department without contract and at whatever price he dictates, in defiance of law. sells goods and merchandise to the police force, su6ordinates and employees of the city, and altogether finds his official position of material value to his private business.
 This is rather bad showing for reform administration The Mayor is the biggest man in town. All others must bow to the law, but the Mayor knows no law higher than his own sweet will. And then this Lord High Mayor has set himself upon such lofty perch that even the most moderate criticism of his course results in an iniction of the direst wrath upon the head of bis offender.
 But this is a country where free dom of speech is allowed and the liberty of the press guaranteed, and
