NOTWITHSTANDING our Special
Edition of II pages was issued at
noon Saturday, the Sunday Morn
ing GRAPHIC appears on time this
morning. The GRAPHIC does not
quail in the presence of its carping
critics, nor is it deferred in its on
ward march of progression by
herculean tasks, dull times or torrid
weather. However, those who
make the GRAPHIC would not be
human were they not compelled to
suceumb to the forces of nature,
therefore today's GRAPHIC is hardly
up to the standard. After just
discharging the arduous duties
incident to the issuance of a special
number such as ours, and confron-
ted with the dull, dreary dog days
when news is at a premium, it could
hardly be expected, under such
conditions, that this issue would
be up to our Sunday morning
standard.

New York Journal: Statements

JUDGE CALDWELES OPINION

JUDGE CALDWELL'.S OPINION
Judge Henry c. Caldwell, of
Little Rock, the able jurist and the
lifelong Republican, thus express
es himself about the Democratic
ticket:
aThe wisdom of its action
almost amounts to inspiration. No
better man or sounder platform
have been presented to the Amer
lean people by any party in a
third of a century. It marks an
epoch in the political history of
this country. For two years the
people Of this country have been
beguiled and deluded by the false
and deceitfu1 promises of both the
great parties that they would re-
store to them the money of the
constitution. The Chicago CON
vention, voicing the sentiments of
the people, has repudiated the ac-
ton of the Democratic President
and joined issues with the gold
standard Republicans. The Chi
cago convention is the first Ma
tional convention held by either
Of the great parties in a quarter
of a century which has not been
dominated by the Wall Street in
fuence and ideas. The Demo
cratic party has had a new birth.
1t has been freed from the faint of
Tammany and the influence of
Wall Street. This has been done
in such clear and pronounced
manner that Senator Hill is forced
to declare that not single plank
in the platform enunciates Dem
ocratic Notwithstanding, Of
course, Democratic principles ac-
cording to the Tammany and
Wall Street standard. When those
who support gold standard, a
Mckinley tariff with all its con
comitants of monopolies and
trusts, and the principles of Tam
many Hall and Wall Street, de
nounce platform of principles,
that is good evidence that it enun-
ciates sound principles and de-
serves the approval and support
of the honest masses. If McKin-
ley is the Napoleon of the gold
standard forces, Bryan is the
Wellington of the allied silver
forces, and the historical parallel
will be complete except that this
modern Napoleon, after his Water
loo, will go to the headwaters of
Salt River instead of St. Helena.

duce the same aud thus perform a
great public service. II he has no
such evidence he should hasten to
apologize to the Democratic nomi-
nee. But Senator Thurston is not
in possession Of any such evidence,
or else he would have produced it
long ago. Mr. Bryan and his law
partner have both denied the charge,
and now the burden of proof is on
Mr.. Thurston. So far the Republi-
cans have not madea charge against
Mr.. Bryan that they have been able

THE New York World has not dis
covered where it is at on the
money question, for it has been
laundering around since the Chica-
go convention, but it very correctly
sizes up Boss Hanna and his con
ueetion with the gold syndicate in
the following paragraph:
"The Republican politicians seem
to be singularly blind to the effect
upon their canvass of Mark Hanna s
prominence and the affiliations with
which he so naturally seeks here in
New York. This mushroom mil
lionaire boss is organizing the Nc
Kinley campaign as he would organ
ize an iron trust. He goes to Pier
pont Morgan for aid and advice as
to checking the silver movement
which that eminent fnaneier did
more than any other man to create.
He has installed Matt Quay and
Powell Clayton as lieutenanUs, and
appointed an executive committee
of rich and experienced fat-friers.
All this renders unnecessarily alb
surd the claim that the Republican
party represents in this election all
the honesty, patriotism and moral
sentiment OF the country.

TIE -IKATER FANLNE.

A water famine exists in a large
portion OF Arkansas, and in some
sections human beings are actually
suffering from thirst. There have
been isolated thunder showers in
various portions of the State recent
ly, but in some counties no rain has
fallen since April 13, and the suffer
ing is almost beyond belief In
portions Of Jefferson, Cleveland and
Bradley counties people are hauling
water for drinking purposes in bar
rels a distance of twenty Five miles.
White river is running dry, and the
Mayor of Fayetteville has issued q
proclamation prohibiting the sprink-
ling of streets, the water being
neeced for drinking purposes. Hot
Springs Neies.
The Netos is in error in regard to
Jefferson county. While the drouth
has been long aud protraeted, there
has been no suffering among either
man or beast in this county for
water A strange phenomena has
been that while this county was suf-
fering for rain the Arkansas River
was at an unprecedented high stage
for this season of the year, caused by
the heavy rains in the West, which
has afforded an ample supply of
water for all those who live along
its banks In the interior there has
been a scarcity of water, but up to
this time there has been no suffering
Oh that account And Jefferson
county is also fortunate in that
thunder storms and showers have
visited many sections of the county
during the drouth period, which
afforded at least temporary relief
to many people. While the drouth
is the greatest that has been known
in this State since 1874, jefferson
county has not suffered as much as
other sections of the State.

always roll up their sleeves in
every fight against organized rob
berry as typifed in the Republican

that they have the decency and
