THEN AND NOW.

When Grover Cleveland began
his second term in 1893 the Demo
Gratis had the presidency and a ma
iority in both houses of Congress.
A minority of the Democrats com
bining with the Republicans gave
the President his way in the man.
agemeut Of affairs What is the
result? The Democrats have lost
contrOl of both houses of Congress,
the party is hopelessly divided, and
all this because Mr.. Cleveland has
labored during his whole term to
ioist upon the Democratic party
the Republican single gold standard
theory of finance, The only hope
for the Democratic party is to call
a halt. Repudiate Cleveland and
his Republican financial theories
and return to the old Democratic
principles and policies.--EX

DRAUGHON'S BUSINESS COLLEGE.
A Branch Business College Almost
Assured to Texarkana.


Friday night a mass meeting of
citizens was held at the office Of
Prof. G. A. Hays, as advertised in
this paper, to consider the matter
of getting Prot ]. F. Draughon to
establish branch business college
at this place. The meeting was
fairly well attended, and the matter
was discussed, and a committee
composed of the following was APP
pointed to look further into the
question, receive and make pro-
positions, ETC.: G W. Fouke, M.
C. Thompson, B. M, Foreman, j.
W. Harriss and ]. W. Gardner; this
committee to report to another
meeting at 3 o'clock yesterday. The
committee met and did what it
could, and reported to the second
meeting that it recommended that
Prof. Draughon's proposition for
the taking of twenty-five scholar
ships by our citizens, be accepted
he to guarantee an enrolment of
200 pupils within the first eighteen
months, and continue to run the
business college for three years.
The same committee was cen
tinutd, and asked to see our citi-
zens, and endeavor to dispose of the
twenty-five scholarships. A round
vas made by the committee, and
over half of them secured BY all
means Texarkana should get this

A SHAKING Up
A Host'er and Wiper Take a
Rice on the Wrong Track.
AN OPEN SWITCH.
One or Two Cars Derailed and the
Locomotive Slightly Damaged.

Friday evening, Mr.. l. j. Mathews
and wiper Tom Manigau, was taking
engine No. 1877 to the track where
it belonged and we're going along at
pretty good gait. A gorilla of a
negro was in the yard to attend the
switches, or at least be threw one,
aud it being set for the wrong
track caused the engine to pillow
down among lot of Dox car. The
h)stler Mr., Mathews jumped off and
received no injuries, but young
Manigan hit against a box car
when he made his leap and the
cinders and conclusion from the fall
took the hide from him in many
places, causing painful and Smarting
wounds, yet not dangerous. The
engine had some of the air pumps
knocked from its side and the ten
der and cab were damaged, but not
enough to keep the machine in the
shop very long. The wrecked cars
we're soon placed on the track and
order restored.

To the Public:
The uncalIed for attack of some
parties signing, themselves Hender-
son Bros, strangers not only to
ourselves out to the community,
does not deserve notice, still as we
are innocent OF what theg .harge,
simply wish to call the pub.c's at
tention to the fact that should we
fail to do work which is not far
superior to that which these same
transient men put down, in front of
the property owned by Messrs.
Robinson, Hebron, Kingsbury and
Sullivan, we will obligate ourselves
to take up same, and put 1t down
free of charge.
We have been here in TeXIrkana
since we were boys, and our word is
possibly as good as floating stran-
gers, whose homes are here today
and miles away tomorrow, We
regret this act of these strangers
and the only motive prompting
them, that we can see, was because
we have fortunately received more
work Of late than they, and being
idle, themselves, and seeing us busy
day after day, rankers in their
BOSOM.
AS we have said nothing in re-
gard to the character of these
strangers, we must respectfully ask
them not to attack our character
through, the papers, as we GER
talnly will hold them personally
responsible,
Our work showes for itself, and if
1t is better than they can do, which
is an undisputed fact, they must
accept the situation, but must not
attack us without cause,
