ket with out all the margin being talk
en- off to pay for the transportation.
How can these moderate rates be
obtained? Clearly experience has de-
monstrated that we can not get them
from the railroads themselves nor
from Railroad Commissions, either
State or National. The remedy is by
Act of the Legislature as to rates with
in the States, and by act of Congress
as TO Interstate rates, which acts
should % cut down passenger and
freight rates to on an average one
half those now exacted, to accord with
the doubled value Of money and the
halving the prices of our produce. (2)
More powers should be given the Rail-
road Commissions with stricter penal
ties for non-observance Of their regu-
lations. (3) Free passes should be
vigorously forbidden, as is now done
by the Constitution Of New York and
several other States. And lastly Rail
road Commissions should be made in
dependent of corporate infuence,as far
as possible, by being in all cases, made
elective by the people instead of by
the legislature. The railroad lobby
can not control elections by the peo-
pie az easily as it can have a deciding
influence in a legislative caucus.

THE LOBBY.

There is no influence more debasing
in legislation than that Of the lobby
Every well wisher of his country would
wish to see IT broken up. Chief Justice
Mexwell, Of Nebraska discusses this
subject and the remedy for it in late
number Of the american Lew Re
view" He calls attention to the fact
that very recently the Governors of
Illinois and Missouri were forced to
call special Sessesions because the cor
poration Hobbies had defeated neces-
sary legislation at the regular session.
But instances abound. It is notorious
that in all the Southern States the
corrupt legislation Of carpet bag days
was procured by Hobbies.

The only way to reduce the burden
on the people is by bona fide genuine
cut in passenger and freight rates.
IT may be said of more than one Rail-
road Commission that at a respectful
distance, they initiate the ways OF
Providence in one particular. 1t has
been said: "He takes a step-and ages

HoEE SMITHS SUCCESSOR.


It Is More Than Likely That Francis,
Bynum or Cable WIN Get 1t.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The news
that Secretary HolSe Smith had resigned
and that his resignation had been ae-
cepted by the president has created a
considerable stir in political circles here,
although the publicity of Mr. Smith
retirement had been, in a measure, an
ticipated ever since his paper, the At
lanta journal, declared that it would
support Bryan and Sewall Mr. Smith
still declines to discuss the subject be-
yond the question of his conception of
party loyalty Mr. Smith, during his
campaign for the gold Standard in
Georgia against ex-Speaker Crisp, made
u personal pledge that he would, if de-
feated, support the nominees of the
convention. As an honorable man. his
friends say, he felt it his duty to redeem
that pledge He informed the people of
his position and intentions and to avoid
embarassments placed his resignation
at his disposal
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland remon-
strated. The correspondence ON the
subject if published would ne doubt be
very interesting, but it IS doubtful
whether it can ever be secured for the
public 1t is stated with great positive
ness that the step which Secretary
Smith felt himself compelled to take
has not in anyway affected the warm
regard the president and Mr.. Smith en-
tertained for each other
There has been a good deal of gossip
as to who Mr.. Smiths successor will be.
1t seems altogether unlikely that John
M. Reynolds, the assistant secretary
will be promoted. It is regarded as
much more probable that new man
viii be selected, probably from the mid
die west-Indiana, Illinois or Missouri.
The names of Ex-Governor Francis, ex-
Governor Bynum and ex-Congressman
Gable of Illinois are those which gossip
most persistently clings All are pro-
nounced gold Democrats.

UNDER the heading, OVERRIDING it
Again, y the New York World (Which,
though strongly for goh, seatters
nightly on other issues has this TO
say OF Bryan's speech and lis critics:
ut was very foolish mistake in
the Mckinley newspapers to ridicnle
or attempt to belittle Mr.. organs
speech of acceptance.
cit was a very able speech, logical
in arrangement, admirable in spirit
and strongly reasoned, cleverly ex-
pressed. We do not think there is
another free silver advocate in the
country who could write SO able or
SO effective a plea for his cause as
was that of Mr.. Bryan.
"It contained sophistries, falla-
eies, unwarranted assumptions and
deductions, of course. What long
partisan speech does not? But
there is nothing to be gained by un-
derrating it"

and the enthusiasm was unbounded.
The important part of the races
was the lowering Of the State rec
ord by Olcott and Kilroy, which
slows that Pine Bluff has some Of
the best amateur riders in the State
The GRAPHIC is endeavoring to dem
oustrate that popular amusement
can be made a success ii Pine Bluff.
Il will be remembered that last
spring the GRAPHIC advocated the
organization Of a fair association for
this town for this fall, but for lack
of interest and cooperation, .he
movement fell through The sue
cess which attended the GRApHio's
bicycle races demonstrates beyond
question that an annual fair in Pine
Bluff could be made a great success.
Many people from points along the
Cotton Belt attended orr races.
which evidences the fact that people
from distance are ready and anx-
ions to patronize Pine Bluff and her
entertainments. A fair association
would bring thousands OF people to
this city every fall to get acquaint-
ed with our merchants and spend
their money here. A weeks pro-
gram Of horse racing, bicycle racing
and base ball could be arranged at
a small cost which would be worth
thousands of dollars to the town.
Now that the GRAPHIC has demon
strated that such events can be
made a popular success here, we
hope that our citizens will organize
a fair association and hold fair IN
Pine BIaf during the fall of 1897.

THR resignation of Hoke Smith
from the Cabinet of President Cleye-
land was purely a voluntary act
Mr.. Smith is a supporter of the
Chicago ticket, to which the other
members of the Cabinet are said to
be opposed, aud Mr.. Smith, there
fore, felt it his duty to offer his
resignation. Mr.. Smit also gave up
large law practice to accept posi-
ton in the Cabinet, and his retire
ment thererrom will be advanta-
geous from financial as
wen as a political view. It is
said the Secretary of the Interior is
ambitious TO go to the United States
Senate from Georgia, and his resig-
nation from the Cabinet, under the
circumstances, will greatly enhance
his popularity among the people of
the tgoober State Mr. Smith has
acted wisely and well.

THE sound money Democrats OF
Pine Bluff have called meeting for
the 9th inst. for the purpose, as
set forth in the call, of organizing a
club and expressing publicly their
views on the money and other ques-
tions of party policy. We are un-
able to understand what our sound
money friends hope to accomplish
by the organization of a sound
money club in this city Their ae-
ton is at least in defiance Of the Ma
tional and State Democratic party,
and if there is one thing more than
another that has been inculeated
into the minds Of the Democrats of
the South, it is party loyalty. Unit
ed, the Democratic party viii stand;
divided, it viii be defeated and fall.
The ascendancy of Democracy in
the South means liberty and freedom
from oppression, and more than all,
white supremacy and honest govern
ment. The only sound money party
in this country at present is the
Republican party, aud the Demo.
Gratis of the South do not need to be
told what Republicanism means for

and Elliot G. Stevenson, late
chairman of the Michigan State
Central Committee, has been dissolv-

Mr.. Dickinson and Mr.. Stevenson
are purely political. Mr.. Stevenson
resigned as Chairman of the State

way for Fred A. Baker, rabid

an active part in the campaign for
