An Assault on the National Govern,
ment.
DON NJ. DICKINSON.

Let us see what confrOnts US. What
is this free government that we hear
about from the roStrum only occasion
ally on the Fourth of July and gala
days? But word about this funda-
mental expression. Up to the estab-
liShment of the American government,
governments had failed on the face of
the earth for the object for which gov
ernmentS are formed.
The theory is that this is the best
government and the only free govern
ment which achieves for the people
the largest amount of happiness com
fort and prosperity for the greatest
number. Now. they had tried emper-
ors. lodging absolute power of legisla-
ton. the execution of laws, and all
Judgment upon laws in one man. and
it failed: the people were oppressed
and made serfs. They tried then oil
garchy. a government of many men;
il failed for the purposes for which II
was founded: so that all monarchy and
all systems and every republic in the
world had failed when our fathers
formed the United States of America
and gave us a place in the family Of
nations. (AppauSel
What was the peculiar part OF the
government which promises permanency.

structure collapsed. The government
would not take them, the paper became
absolutely worthless, and when that pa

was found in the hands of the manu-
facturers, of the business men, of the
wOrkingmen of France. 1t was on them
that the loss fell. because they had ex-
changed their labor and their earnings
for this worthless paper. That is the
history of all attempts to juggle with the
currency. The loss lands always in the
same place, and we can form no ex-
ception to the great natural laws.

Labor Needs an Unvarying and Re-
liable Currency.
FRANK S BLACK. CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.

"No mans labor of yesterday or last
year can be preserved, except by some
representative or token Of it. and money
is the almost universally adopted agent
for that purpose. Nothing in the world
should be so anxious as labor that the
token which represents it should be IN
varying and reliable Who can
preserve until tomorrow the labor of to-
day? 1t cannot be done, and the only
means of securing its benefits is TO re-
ceiye and preserve some token which
shall stand in its stead and which may
be used as future needs may require.
And further on the speaker said: IF
man is robbed, it is a crime and he may
have redress. If bank fails and pays
him only 80 cents on the dollar, il is
misfortune. and he not yet without
hope of recovery. But if he votes away
Il cents of every dollar. it is his own
fault, and be has nothing to condemn
hut his own folly, which will remain
with him much longer than his money"

BURIED TOO DEEP
Are Three Favorite Sons for the Presidential Lightning to
 Strike Them.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, une12.-IfCullom Bradley or Quay have In view the springing of any mines whereby the lightning may be drawn their way, the wires are indeed being buried deep. To all outward appearances the three are entitled to charter membership in the Ancient Order of Favorite Sons. The Reed head quarters at the Southern present an animated appearance. Allison bands have made their appearance on the streets and the Hawkeye .junta, composed of ex-Goyernor Gear, Colonel Clarkson and Congress- man Henderson, manage in various other ways to keep the Iowa Sena- tors name in evidence. The same is true of the Morton managers, and as to McKinley-as one Southern delegate expressed it after making the rounds of the hotels to-day: "The only way Platt can escape see ing the Photographic face of the Ohio candidate is to keep his eyes closed" Enough Mckinley paper has been put up about town to last the average circus an entire season. But it would require a long search to unearth any insignia of the Bradley, Cullom or Quay booms. Governor Bradley has reserved rooms on the sixth floor of the Planters, but as yet no one has taken possession. The Pennsylvanians who have arrived are divided between the Planters ani the Southern and Senator Quay has opened headquarters at both places. John R. Tanner and other Iliinoisans who made the unsuccessful attempt to engineer their favorite son through the Springfield convention are to be found at the Southern, but there as elsewhere the name of Gull lom is not to be distinguished in the flood of convention talk. At the Southern also will be quartered the Illinois delega ates-at-large including both ex-Goyernors Fifer and OGleSbY,

PROSE ECTS DWINDLING FOR AN ELECTRIC CAR
 SYSTEM.
The St. Louis Owners Decline the Proposition of Pine Bluff Citizens and
 the Deal is Prac-
 tically Off.

At a late meeting of citizens at the Bluff City club hall called to hear the report of Messrs. J. B. Trulock, W. H. Langford and s. Geisreiter, the committee appointed to correspond with the St. Louis owners of the Pine Bluff Street Railway with a view of changing the line into an electric system, the committee was instructed to correspond further with MT. Thos. H. West, of St. Louis, the party in interest, and to submit to him the proposition to organize stock com pany with a capital stock of $50,- 900, of which sum $$25, 900 was to be subscribed by the present owners and the other $25, ,000 by Pine Bluff citizens, and then the property to be bonded and the St. Louis owners to take $20, GOO of the bonds issued for their present plant and fran chises.
 The local committee received a reply yesterday, and the St. Louis parties express their non-concur- renee in the proposition, which was in the nature of an ultimatum from the citizens of Pine Bluff.
 The letter of MT. West, the prin- cipal party in interest, is as fol- lows;

ST. LOUIS, June 9, 1896.

ST. LOUIS, June ,, 1o50. To Messrs. J. E. Trulock, W. H. Langford and
 S. Geisreiter. committee, Pine Bluff, Ark.
 Gentlemen:- Your favor of the 4th inst. received, and carefully noted. I have talked the matter over with my associates, and they are unwill- ing to put the plant in for $20, 900 and put up $25, 900 more to equip the property. I have also talked the matter over with Col. Fordyce, and, while he believes strongly in the enterprise, says at this time it would not suit him to advance any money. I think, however, he could be induced to take nominal inter- est, sufficient to aid you in carrying out the plan to connect with his shops.
 We would be willing to put in the plant for $20, 900 in stock company of $70, 900, provided a satisfactory guaranty is given us that the prop erty would not be bonded sc as to render the stock worthless. This we would be willing to do, and you pay for equipping the property with electricity in Q good and satisfacto- ry manner, and stock is to be issued to you at par for that purpose. Of course, if you decide to issue bonds, we would have no objection to your doing so, if we received our propor tional part of the bonds.
 If you will do this, l will ask you to confer with MT. John M. Taylor and Mir. John OConnell, as inter- ested parties, to see if you cannot make some satisfactory arrange ment with them, which I hope can be done, giving you charge of the property at this time. l am writ ing them today, sending them copy of this letter. Yours truly,
 THos. H. WEST.
 The gentlemen representing the citizens of Pine Bluff now believe that they have done all in their power to bring about satisfactory agreement between the local citi- zens and the St. Louis owners of the Pine Bluff Street Railway with view to converting the system into an electric line, and that nothing further can be done.
 They will therefore ask that they be discharged.
