Longview, Texas, and Shreve-
port, Louisiana in the Grip
of the Pitted Pest.
WHAT SHALL WE DO?
Sit Still and Let 1t in Here, or Take
Measures to Keep it Outlet
our Mayors Answer.

For several weebs Shreveport has
had its pest house full of negro
patients, with the small pox, and
still the disease finds an occasional
outsider to lap its pitted fingers
upon. The pest house there now
contains some fifteen.
The last case to develop at Shreve-
port, was white lady named Mrs.
Traynor, wife of a pile driver on
the K. C.P. & G. road who formerly
lived here.
Longview, Texas, we learn, is
now undergoing a seige of the pest,
and it has been in our own state for
several months, in the counties
skirting the Mississippi river.
Most of the towns in Louisiana,
are quaranting against Shreveport,
and here we SIT idly by and let the
trains come in from Longview and
Shreveport, and dump down all
kinds of people who may have been
exposed to this disease.
We have had a touch here of
this malady, and we do not want a
repitition of the same.
Let our people get together and
instruct our officers to act, on the
matter of quarantining. The quar-
antine ought to at least stop all
negroes coming into Texarkana,
and drummers aud business men to
only enter the city, on showing
well authenticated health certificate
if from infected places,
The East and West side should go
together and bear equally expense
of trying to keep out the small
pox.
We do not want to alarm the
people, neither do we wish to run
the city to needless expense, but
we do think some precautionary
measures should be taken before it
is too late. A couple of guards
could work the trains in and out of
here, at a small cost to the city,
and we are in favo. of looking at
the matter in the serious light it
n w confronts us Action should be
t tken at once

TELL THE TRUTH.

To the Public:-YesterdayS In
ter-State News made false state
meuts, as to thetwo fire company's S
arrival at the fire of Saturday
night, calculated to injure the East
Side Company. That sheet stated
that the West Side Company ar
rived there five minutes before the
East Side Company, etc. This is
absolutely false. The West Side
hose cart was only a block ahead of
us, and not a member on it-one
arrivedat the fire after we got there
Seven members of our company
were on the cart, and arrived at
the scene of the fire about a
minute after the driver of the West
side cart got there, We suppose
that Editor Giles lied about our
company because we refused to
allow him to ride on the cart, which
was loaded with members of the fire

DUTY OF SILVER DEMOCRATS.

As there is so much of intoler-
ance and the spirit of "rule or ruin
among the goldbugs, as clearly
demonstrated by Cleveland and his
satellites in Kentucky, Texas and
other states, it is high time that
silver Democrats were getting to-
gether and having clear-cut ideas
and plans laid out for the coming
Pre- sidential campaign.
In Arkansas let us select no dele
gate to any convention who is not
true and tried friend of silver.
This is the first and most important
duty. Then let us instruct them
to stand squarely and fairly by sill
yer at the ratio of l6 to |, to the
''last ditch.
We favor an additional instruc-
tion to our delegates to the nation
al convention, in addition to the
above; let us, in state convention,
firmly tell our national delegates to
insist upon the nomination of a
known silver man for President, and
place a straightout l6 to l silver
plank in the partys national plat
form; and, in case the goldb & del
egates from states which never
give a Democratic electoral vote
decree a different order of things,
to quietly withdraw from the con-
vention and take no part in its
further deliberations. Do this anc
have our Democratic electors for
President instructed to vote for nc
man for President except a true
friend to silver, and to vote tol
such man in the electoral college,
regardless of party name or afiiia-
| tiOn.
Under no circumstances let us de
part the faith as to the Democrat
ic principle of free silver coinage
But let us remain in the Democrat
ic party, and make the fight to win
if it takes all fall and winter, o.
longer. We silver men compos,
the patty, so let us not be crowded
or pushed outside. The goldbugi
will continue to bemean us, and i
we are forced to walk out of The
national convention they will cal
us boilers" "Populists," 'any'
thing but Democrats" etc, but
let this move us not in our determi'
nation to fight and win victory
for silver, inside the party,
Have not the goldbugs "bolted'
in Kentucky and elsewhere? W.
certainly have as much right a!
they to do the same thing2
For one, we propose, by the eter'
nal, to act for silver all hazards
While, so far, we have never
