WHAT CONGRESSMAN SAY.

Ireland nee supported in reasonable
comfort 5000. 900 Of people. Her manu-
facture of linen, silk wool and cotton,
protected by tariffs and encouraged by
subsidies. absorbed her capital, EN-,
ployed her laborers, promoted a diver
sity of industries, and insured pros,
perity. England was her text friend,
advised her. cajoled and flattered her
into the belief that she could raise raw
materials on her fertile soil, sell them
to her. buy Of her the manufactured
products more cheaply than she could
make them. and that free trade would
be a national blessing. Beguiled by
her, Ireland consented, her tariff was
gradually repealed, horizontally des-
troyed, her subsidies withdrawn.
Since then she has been raising raw
material, selling 1t to England, buying
her manufactured goods OF her al
prices determined by England alone,
and today, with only 5000, 900 Of PEG,

harassed country on earth. She drank

pressed to her lips to the very dregs

THE Memphis Scimitar is running the deadly parallel' on it's morning contemporary, the Contnsercial-Ap- peal, with great effect. Prior to the Presidents special Venezuelan mes sage the Cd. was one of the most vehement and uncompromising jim goists in this country, and the morn ing after the message, with great deal of gusto, the editor of the C.-A. claimed it as his own. But now the CA. has changed its tune and de- clares in substance that the Presi- dents special message was unwar- ranted and has precipitated useless decline in American values and se- curities for which the President IS Icensurable and responsible. In fact the Cd. is closely bordering on ! Toryism, and its course is in strik- ing contrast to that of the leading and most prominent Southern jour- nals. Were the G-A. published in New York among a constituency of Anglo-maniacs and under the shad- ow of Wall street where there is a eowardly and craven clamor for peace at any cost, it's course would naturally be expected, but coming from one of the leading jour nals of the South where there is g general sentiment for the vigorous enforcement of the Monroe doctrine and peace only with honor, its course is a shocking surprise. Wt very much fear that Bro. Carmack'; extreme silver views and his per sonal dislike of the President hay, dictated his timid policy in the Ven ezuelan matter. Heretofore he ha. been a vigorous twister of the tail 0 the British lion, and we sincerel, and profoundly regret, because 0 our respect and esteem for him, tc witness this manifestation of indif ference to British aggression on this
 hemisphere.

THE DEGREE.

The Sunday GRAPHIC, with its usual enterprise, contained in full Judge Williams decree in the case of the city Of Pine Bluff against the Pine Bluff Water & Light Company, which was the first publication of that important legal document in this community. In perusing the decree it will be seen that Pine Bluff has gained more than at first thought, and that co- Receiver Gun ningham is placed in absolute con- trol Of the plant of the water works and is authorized to make all neces- sary improvements and to contract with consumers in absolute inde- pendence of Receiver Clifford, of New York, who has control of the financial affairs and the office of the company!
 The benefits to be derived by this city and community, therefore, rest entirely with co Receiver Cunning han, as tue GRAFHIc observed in ssss te.I.a s.ss, .zsys iisss but since he is placed in absolute independence of Receiver Giffera and has power to

MAKING THE ISSUE.

The Republican Congress and the President are clearly making the issue for the next Presidential cam paign. For a brief season the House supported the Administration with ont hesitation and oa the enforce ment of the Monroe doctrine the House and the President were as one
 But notwithstanding this seeming display Of noa-partyism and patriot ism tba House ts now giving an ex- bl5itioa of petty partisanism which should bring upon it the censure of the Nation
 In presenting the financial dificul- ties of the country toCongress Pres ident Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle clearly pointed out that the trouble was not due to lack of rev eEue, but to our financial policy which makes raids upon the gold re serve possible and constant men ace. To obviate this the Admins tration asked that it be authorized to issue short-time gold bonds at Q low rate of interest for gold with which to repl enish our gold reserve. Notwithstanding the protestations of the Administration that our reve- nues are ample and sufficient for all purposes, the House responds by the passage of a bill to increase the tariff and is determined that the peo- pie shall be taxed to raise more reve- nue. To the Administrations re- quest for authority to issue gold bonds, the House, in deliberate irony, responds by offering "coin" bands-just what the President does not want The Republicans are seemingly bent on taking advantage of the financial troubles of the Gov ernment to increase taxation, res tore Mckinley schedules, and vote incl dentally a bounty to protectionist plutocrats and millionaires who have alrerdy grown rich by such an in iquitous system of class legislation. In other words, the Republicans are content that there should be more money in the Treasury, provided that for every dollar that goes into the Treasury the already pampered protectionists shall receive four dol lars.
 In this action the Republicans have demonstrated that they have learned nothing by the overwhelm- ing defeat of their party which fol- lowed immediately after the passage of the Mckinley bill. In this they are again heedlessly rushing to de feat, for nothing is more fully estab- lished in our political system than that this is an anti-high tariff coun-

HoN. A. B. GRACE, of this city, is being solicited by a numoer of his enthusiastic Pine Bluff friends to make the race for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court for the place at present filled by ex-Gov. Hughes. We are not advised of Mr. Grace's wish or desire in the premises, but it is a well-known fact that he is eminently qualified for the position. He possesses great literary abili- ty and fine legal attainme nts, and would easily adorn the Supreme Bench of the State.
