County VS.. Della Ross.
The defendant had bought prop

Commissioners for the amount of the
delinquent taxes, SAG. She purchas-
ed the property without il having
been advertised, by quiet agreement
with the Board.
When the Grand Jury met it was
noticed that the sale of this property
had not been advertised, and the
Grand Jury ordered suit to be brought
against Della Ross for the recovery
of the property. The decision rem
dercd by Judge Cheney was in favor
of the county and invalidates the I'll
tie of all the property secured from
the County Commissioners which has
not been purchased ut properly adj

1t will be noticed that the County
Commissioners who worked this little
deal covered up their tracks by omit

directed. Or course they quoted
their conscience by agreeing that the

policy of our evening contemporary. The public has noted that the plates on the first page of the Commercial have been permitted 10 staod, with out change, for 3 week or more at q time throughout the Sumner and Fall. and by continuing this policy t might easily enlarge to an eight or nine column paper without any inconvenience or expense whatever Then, too, t is all easy thing to dll up on cheap patent medicine ad= vertiscments We have never yet found a manufacturer of patent nostrums who would not accept ad- vertising at nominal cost. The GRAPHIC believes in making this class pay as much in proportion for their space as local merchants and customers, and therefore but few foreign ads. are found in these col umns-a fact altogether creditable to this paper. The GRAPHIC does not believe in filling up on cheap patent medicine ads. and old boiler plate, without change, for the sake of 1argeness. The GRAPHIC is not contemplating any immediate increase in size.

FJ5SION 1T LAST COMPLETE.
 Following the St. Louis conven- tion that nominated Bryan and Watson there seemed to be serious obstacles in the way of a union of populists and democrats on single electoral tickets. But with com mon object in view it was inevitable that they should come together. and as the campaign hears it's close it is found that fusion has been effected n every State where a combination of forces might result in victory for Bryan In twenty-seven States fu- sion has been agreed upon. with division of electors between the parties as follows
 California Democrats, 5; Populists l.
 Colorado-Democrats ?; Popultst. 1 silver
 onneeticut--Demoe 5; Populist. 1.
 .dahO--Democrats, ? PepuIst. l.
 Illinois Democrats 20; PopuIists, 4.
 lndiana-Bemoerats l0i Populists, E
 Towa--Demaerats, 10; Populists. 3.
 Kansas--The ten electors are all Demo- crats but they are pledged to vote for the candidate for viee-president who has the best chance of being elected.
 Kentucky Il; Populists. 9
 Louisiana--De Democrats, 1; Populists, f.
 Michigan Democrats, i8i Pepulists, 1.
 innesota-Democrats, i; Pnpulists. 4 sil- yer Republican, 1.

 Nebraska-Democrats {; Populists 1,
 New Jersey-DemocTats 2; Populist. 1.
 North Garolina--Demoerats, }; Populists. 5; silver Republican, l.
 North Dakota-The three Popullst electors have been iudorsed by the Democrats
 0hio--Democrats, IS: Populists ,.
 Oregon-The four Populist electors have been indorsed by the Democrats.
 Pennsy sytyania--Democrats 2S; Populsts f. South Dakota--Democrats, 9 Populsts 9 Utah--Demoerat, i; Populist, 1; Silver Re- publicen, 1.
 Washington Democrats, ?; Populsts, 2.
 West Virginia-Democrats, 4; PopuIists, ?. Wisconsin, ,Democrats. 9; Populists g.
 Washington--Demoera 2 Popullsts, 9
 This list includes all States in which victory might be dependent upon fusion. The fight against free silver, therefore, is clearly a fight against the allied forces of silver Democrats, Populists and silver Re  publicans.- Chicago Record.

CONSLSTENCYP

It will be remembered that some time during last spring the esteem ed Commercial roasted the editor of the GRAPHIC because the latter was a member of an audience that witnessed a sparring exhibition in the arena of the Pine Bluff Athletic Association. The Commercial had reporter present at that time, and the editor of the GRAPHIC was the only representative of the GRAPHIC present on that occasion. But this didinot prevent the next issue of the Duly Commercial from publishing the fact that the editor ot the GRAPHIC was present, and incl dentally as one of the promoters of the prize-ring For several weeks thereafter the editor of the Commer- cial waged a bitter warfare upon the local sports, with an occasional hit at the editor of the GRAPHIC thrown in. prize-fghts were de nounced as brutal and the pugilists as thieves, pugs and pluguglies. :" The fact thai the editor of the GRAPHIC was present at the prize ring, taking it's cue from the Commercial, was also noted and animadverted upon by the Helena
 World, and these strictures also found prominent place in the columns of the Commercial.
 But since then, in consequence of a more equitable distribution of patronage, a change has come over the spirit of the dreams of the editor of the Commercial, for on last night there was. another sparr- ing exhibition h the arena of the Pine Bluff Athletic Association, at which, we are reliably informed, the editor of the esteemed Coamercial was a prominent and enthusiastic spectator. Ye gods and little fishes, what a changel As the Major wit messed the exciting mill, all the denunciation hes had heaped upon the prize ring must have found vivid place in his memory. We hope he did not find itas ugly as be had pictured if, and we trust that he the sport.
 The GRApHIo would not deny the editor Of it's esteemed evening con- temporary the exhilirating pleasure of witnessing 2 scientific exhibition
Semi=weekly graphic., 1896-10-17

of the manly art, nor would we pass any words of eensure on his manly head therefor, for 9 seien- tiic glove contest, conducted in a proper manner, is no more brutal or harmful than q base ball or foot ball game. But we simply desire to direct public attention to the fact that the editor of the Commercial finds pleasure in doing that which he finds blameworthy in the editor of the GBAPuIej and it seems to Us that what is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander.

THE editor of our esteemed even- ing contemporary lambasted the writer sometime ago for attending a sparring exhibition in this city. We very much regret to chronicle that the editor of the aforesaid c. c. C., after all his words and works in de- nouncing the prize ring and the evil and demoralizing effects of the same upon the growing youths of the land, should so far forget him self as to. lend his august and obstreperaus presence to an occas- ion of that nature. The Major should remember the evil effects of bad example, and if hereafter Jimmy" as Grandpa Newman is pleased to call tis, should follow the example of tfe venerable editor of the Commercial, we hope he will have the goodness of heart to brook silence and look leniently upon the short comings of his junior in years.

TAKING it's cue from the esteemed Commercial, the Helena World last Spring severely criticised the editor of the GRAPHIC for attending a sparring exhibition in this city. We beg to direct the World editors attention to the fact that there was another sparring exhibition in this city last night at which the editor of the Commercial was the main guy" at the fight, and he is now an enthusiastic admirer of the manly art. ]"

OUR esteemed Barraque street contemporary brags about the Saas- dag Morning Commercial We should just like to know what is the iSuudoy Morning Commercial? The Pine Bluff Weekly Commercial, which is Q rehash of what has been in the daily during the week, is issued every Saturday night, and dis tributed every Sunday morning, but this does not make a Sunday morn ing newspaper. If the Pine Bluff Weekly Commercial is Sunday morning newspaper, it should bear date of Sunday morning, and if it is Saturday night newspaper, then it is sailing under false colors when it styles itself Sunday morn ing paper. But, then, the Conner ciu1 cares nothing about ''false colors.
