WHY TRY TO DECEIVE?

One of the most amusing things grow
ing out of the recent election is the eff
forts being put forth by the gold stand
ard press to show beyond peradventure
that confidence and prosperity have al
ready returned. AS a matter of fact 1t Is
not within the range Of possibilities for
prosperity, thing that has been absent
SO long. to return In a day. q week or q

The only salaries in this country that
have not experienced material reductions
are the salaries fixed by law and paid
out of money collected by law from the
people. Those who fix salaries should
deal fairly with the people. If the fall
in prices have authorized the reduction
Of the salaries paid individuals that very
fact demands that the salaries of the
peoples employees come down, too.

At the time the fees and salaries of
public officers were fixed in Alabama the
prices of products were much higher than
they are now or are likely to become
again soon. 1t is, therefore, but just and
equitable that these fixed charges be cut
down in proportion to the fall of the
prices of commodities all along the line.
Senator Hogue Is on the right track. Let

Whether Cleveland & Carlisle" or

There is no Justice in requiring the tax
payers of Alabama to pay salary Of
$1,000 to a state or county officer now
when 1t requires twice as many pounds

Why should all the people be taxed to
pay a man in office twice as much in the

1t is said that Mr.. John G. Carlisle, af-
ter March 4, 1897 is to locate in New York,
upon yearly salary of $4,000 as the at
torney of some large corporation there.
Since March 4. 1898, he has been guard
ing the interests of corporations and their
allies in Washington and elsewhere. The
amount OF his pay. as their representative
during that time, and by whom it has
been paid, is not shown by the blue book
of the United States. These facts are
of record, however, in books that are
fire-proof, whether Carlisle is or not.
Likely, the $4,000 stands for half pay on
the retired list of bis employers.

Notice

On account of unlocked for com plications the Pine Bluff Telephone Go. was unable to connect all sub- scribers on the first of the month, and for this reason will make no charge for service for the month of April. They will be ready for actual service by the first of May, from which date the regular subscription rate will be charged; in the mean time they earnestly request the pub lie to make use of the 300 phones now connected and in working order. The regular use of the phones will enable the construction company to reg ulate any unsatisfae- tory working of the instruments, and thus insure perfect service on the first of May when the plant is turned over to the public.
 The company has ordered and will soon place in their exchange an ad- ditional 100 drop switchboard, mak- ing total capacity of 400 phones, of which 337 have already been sub seribed for. Nothing succeeds like success" Respectfully,

Bitten by a Rabbid Dog

A telegram from Hot Springs states that on Wednesday afternoon a rabbid dog bit the little 3-year-old daughter of Mr. D. A. Mobiles, who lives near that city.
 Unless some of the worthless dogs that now roam the streets of Pine Bluff are killed it may be. but short time until similar telegram is sent out from this city. Reader, your child, while playing on the street, is liable at any time to be bitten by a dog from which bite death from hydrophobia may result. The re- porter remembers three deaths from that terrible malady that have oc- in this city in recent years. Two of the victims were little children who were bitten while at play in the yard about the home of their parents.
