GENERAL GRANTS FUNERAL.
The Procession In New York Was Eight
 Miles In Length.


 The procession, eight miles long, wended mp Broadway between lines of old soldiers-fags yelled, drums untitled and arms reversed. The Grant family, except Mrs. Grant, who was unable to be present, followed in four carriages, succeeded by the generals old staff, his cabinet officers and detachments from Grand Army posts. Members of the Aztec club, survivors of the Mexican war, formed group. President Cleve- land rode with Secretary Bayard, and they were followed by the vice president and the cabinet, the supreme court jus tices, United States senators and a com mittee of the house. Governor Hill and his suit and a committee of the state legislature were of the cortege; also gen tlemen who had occupied diplomatic and consular offices under Grant while pres ident. Besides all these were official guests filling 150 carriages.
 Over the ashes of the man who had said Let ms have peace" all bitter memories were forgotten. Speaker Car isle and ex-Speaker Randall rode with Congressmen Hiscock and Reed, Senator Morrill, with Senator Gockrell, Sherman with Ransom, Ingalls, with Harris. Famous Confederates, distinguishable by their gray silk sashes, fraternized with Federal chieftains Generals Joe Johnston and Bucl1ner officiated with sherman, Sheridan and Logan among the pallbearers. Three other gallant soutbprnprs Wade Han,ptol, Fi+1h,ob Lee and Gordon, were also present at the funeral -President E. Benjamin Andrews in Seribner s.

Maloney's Wedding

"MaloneYas < Wedding seems to he about all one reads or hears about of late and it is really amusing to listen to the funny stories that are told at Dams expense. The latest-that a few evenings ago Ma loney made his final visit to the home of the bride-elect to again en- dcavor to obtain the consent to q peaceful union: but the old couple were as obdurate as ever. When pressed to state their objections fully the old gentleman said; in the first place, his daughter was too young; second, that he could not see where it came in for that Blatz to act in the capacity of best man, and further If that Dntchman attempted to kiss his daughter after the formali- ties were over, there would be trou- ble sure but Maloney informs us. however, that the event will take place at the Opera-house Monday, January 27, just the same Joy be with you. 1202t

THE ISSUE WITH
THE FARMER

THE FAR MER.
 Anent the meeting of the South ern Cotton Growers Convention in session in Memphis, the Scinitar, of says.
 "The Convention of Cotton Grow CTS in session here today is signif- cant of the growth of business-like sentiment among our farmers and others whose interests are largely involved in the production of cotton. It is evidence of recognition of the fact that the South can no longer get remunerative prices for crops of 5000, 900 bales or more.
 "This in itself is a great point gained. There has been so much said about cotton producers being absolutely at the mercy of future speculators and the money sharks of Wall street. that there was dan ger of the people losing sight of the commercial and manufacturing con- ditions which common sense would indicate as the real factors to be taken into account. Happily it ap- pears, such attempts to divert the public mind from the truth for the purposes of demagogues are fast falling into disrepute, and farmers, as well as the class commonly known as "business men, are ready to rec ognize and act in accordance with the memorable law of supply and demand.
 That the convention now sitting will decide upon policy consistent with this law is absurd It will ignore fanciful theories and face the inevitable It will decide that the cotton acreage must be eurtailed as the first and most important move toward securing fair returns on the farmers labor and invested capital
 Ut will then remain for the far mers themselves to determine whether they shall assure their own prosperity by following the counsel of the convention, or go on produc- ing 5-cent cotton and 10-cent mort gages."

IN announcing the diseontinu- anee of it's telegraphie news the Stuttgart Daily Chronicle says: 'ln answer to those who may ask why the telegraphic news department of the Chronicle has been discontinued it is this There are too many in dividuals here who prefer sending their money to St. Louis for news paper rather than spend it for a home paper"
 That has been exactly the case in Pine Bluff. The Daily GRAPHIC for awhile furnished its readers with a complete telegraphic report at a cost of $1O0 to $l50 per month, but for the reason that our people pre- ferred to subscribe for St. Louis newspapers at the same price in preference to the GRAPHIC, we were forced to discontinue the service This is a sad travesty upon the pa triotism of our home people. As long as they subscribe for foreign in preference to home papers, Pine Bluff cannot have the first-class newspaper with telegraphic dis patches the GRApn1c would like to publish.

Great Wear of Railroad Iron.

Taking the total length of the rail ways of the world at even 60, 900 miles and allowing a daily average of 10 trains over each road. it is estimated that the total loss of iron by wear and tear each day of tho year is not less than GOO tons. The iron thus lost goes back to the earth ill the shape of fine powder, which is finally transformed into soluble iron salts. St. Louis Republic.

ENDORSED.

The instructed Mckinley delega- from Arizona was seated at St. Louis with half vote. While the other crowd were likewise seated with half vote, the outcome was a rebuke to them and victory for the straight Mckinley men. It is an endorsement, right from headquarters, of the course of the Nogales delegation in splitting the Pima county convention and In supporting the split at the territorial convention at Phoenix. It was the split at Tucson which made possible the split at Phoenix and gave the Mckinley men of Arizona comprise nine thirds of the republican voters in the territOry-a representation upon the floor oi the national convention. As one of the engineers of that split at Tucson, and as one who remained be- hind when the Phoenix convention split, and "nailed to the cross" the anti Mckinley crowd with a resolu- tion instructing for Mckinley (which he got through the committee of re- solutions by vote of eight to six, which they voted down, on the floor of the convention, THE OASIS man feels very complacent this week.

"PRAIsE FROM SIR HUBERT. .'

TIE OASIS seldom or ever yaunts itself. Nor is it in the habit of quot ing the many compliments given in the columns of other newspapers. But the following from that gem of Cali fornla newspapers 'The Citrograph, y of Redlands, is 50 clear cut and con- else that to copy it the usual rule is ignored:
 TIE OASIS has entered upon it's fourth year. Col. Allen T. Bird is q pungent, fearless and forcible writer and commands the love of his friends and the respect of his enemies. Long may he flourish.
 The foregoing is but sample of a score or more similar kindly compli- mcnts that have appeared in various Arizona and California newspapers since announcement of the beginning of another year in the life of TIE OASIS. They all agree that THE OASIS has strong friends. So it has. And 1t has bitter enemies. A bold, aggres- siye newspaper, which fears not to take decided stand on any public question at the proper time, always makes enemies. The rascals it cir cumyents are always loud in denun- citation, and they are declamatory in their declarations that the offending editor is a rascal. The editor of TIE OASIS long since got thoroughly ac- customed to being called rascal by men whose own records would not bear scrutiny. One such compliment as the above from fearless, effective, capable newspaper of wide circulation like "The Citrograph,n 7 outweighs all the snapping of the entire pack of CUTS at the editors heels-"Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart"

THE PLATFORM.

It goes without saying that the re- publlcans of Arizona do not particu- larly like the money plank in their national party platform. But they will accept the decision of the major ity in their party, just as they ac- cepted the decision of the majority in the nation in 1892, when Cleveland was elected. While they prefer silver greatly they prefer protection more.
 However silver republicans in the west are in no more uncomfortable situation than will be gold democrats in the east after the Chicago conven ton. And there are fewer of them.

And ten to one he finds cause for complaint when the paper supposed it was deal ing in the utmost fairness and with out thought of giving offense.
