NEWS AND COMMENT.

When Mr. Bryan came out of the campaign it was under stood that he had incurred considerable money obligations which he was naturally desirous of discharging. The tempt ing offer of q lecture tour seemed to be the easiest and quickest way out of his difficulties. Many of Mr. Bryan's admirers feared that he would descend to a common com mercial standing by going on the lecture platform and thus fall out of the presidential and statesman class. It is now intimated that Mir. Bryan does not care to pursue fur ther the lecture scheme. If this is his view and determination it is doubtless the result of some such reflection as that just suggested. Mir. Bryan's fame and attainments ought now easily to command re- muneratiye recognition either at the bar or in purely literary pursuits. Houston Post.

At night the figures on the town clock can now be distinctly seen. This is due to the fact that the in- vention known as the Welsboch burner was on last Monday, sub- stituted for the old gas burners formerly used Before this week four gas burners were lighted every night in the clock. but the light made by them was so dim that it was impossible to see the figures on the dial. On Monday, by permission of the County Judge, the agent for the burner, put in two of the Welsboch shae burners to substitute the four burners previously used, and, as d result the clock is brilliantly lighted with a beautiful clear light, which enables one to see the figures for blocks. The change will also save the county a large gas bill, for in- stead of four gas burners, with the improvement, only two are now used.

BLUM DRY GOODS
 EMPORIUM

The question as to the legality ot saloon keepers conducting two separate place of business under oas license will be given test this year. AS long as the places are under one
 roof with connecting doors, and done under one name, 1t is said to be lawful. But in Pine BluffI dealers ip liquors take out q license and by
 cutting Il hole in the wall. are en- abled to rent out their whisky license to colored people who con-
 duct saloon in the adjacent build
 ing. As a consequence the city.
 county and State is deprived f
 great revenues, and at the same time many negro dives are allowed
 to exist in the city. Some measure to suppress this evil practice mnst certainly be resorted to.
