administration, as presidential
possibility The action Of Kentucky
will also prove strong leverage
for the silverites in The neighbour
ing States of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, and free silver delegations
to the National Convention from
these States are now to be expected
or course this means that the
National Democratic Convention
will be in the control of the silver
men, and that they will write the plat
form and nominate the candidate.
The administration forces and OPP.
ponents of free silver at the ratio of

zed throughout the country and are
Offering no serious opposition to
their opponents In Illinois, Outside
of Cook County,, Indiana and Ohio
the sound money forces are Offering
no serious opposition to the on
ward march OF the triumphant and
shouting silverites Here and
there we witness a sporadic effort
for sound money in the States
above mentioned, but these efforts
are confined almost entirely to large
cities and commercial organizations.
There has been a great deal of talk
about the apernicious activity OF
Federal oflieeholders, but the
Federal officeholders have apparent
| ly fallen into state of "innocuous
desuetude. Not Federal Office
holder of any prominence made d
speech in Kentucky. John G.
Carlisle, Notwithstanding his polit-
zeal life was at stake, did not raise
his hand or voice To avert the dis
aster which has befallen his polit
ical fortune. But on the other
hand, Blackburn, John S. Rea
Bailey OF Texas, Stone of Missouri
and others, made an active cam
paign of the State with the result
that victory crowns their arms.
AS evidences multiply of the con
troll of the National Democratic
Convention by the silver men, le'
us hope that at all events TIT
National Democracy will be vic
torious this year

YAUGINE TOWNSHIP.
FIFTH AVENUE AGAIN.

The City Council at its meeting
last night passed an ordinance re-
ducing beautiful and broad Fifth
avenue to forty feet. The editor OF
the GRAPHIC dislikes to seemingly
antaoonize any enterprise caleu-
lated to improve or beautify that
popular thoroughfare, but we do
not believe that the reduction of
Fifth avenue from fifty-fve TO
forty feet meets with the endorse
ment of the property owners on
that street. The reduction is not
compatible with the representations
of the promoters of the improve
ment. When the petition was
passed around for signers for an
Improvement or graveling district,
not one word was said about re-
ducing the loidth of the street. 1t
was understood that the street,
meaning its entire leidh of ffty-tive
feet, was to be graveled, and not
a part of it. or more specifically,
forty feet of it. Under this appre-
hension and with this understand
ing, the writer, along with the
majority of the property holders on
Fifth avenue, cheerfully signed the
petition, and majority of the names
of property holders in value on
Fifth avenue was in this manner
secured for the gaveling district
But a few weeks thereafter an
ordinance was introduced into the
City Council, without the knowledge
or consent of the signers of the
original petition, to reduce the street
for crawling purposes to thirty
five feet. The ordinance was pushed
for passage at that meeting of the
Council, but at the earnest request
of Alderman Howell, who resides
on Fifth avenue, and one or two
other members of the Council. the
ordinance went over until the next
regular meeting. When the move
ment to reduce the street 10 thirty
five feet became known, a mighty
protest went up from the property
holders, and the Sunday GRAPHIC
of May oath published interviews
with large number of property
holders on mat street TO SHOW that
sentiment was against the reduc-
tion. Out of the fousteen property
holders interviewed, only two were
in favor of the proposed reduction
to thirty.fve feet, and the consen-
sus of opinio was that orty-five
feet would be little enough But
at the meeting of the Council last
night, during the absence of Alder
man Howell, Of Fifth avenue, and |
orer the protests of these citizens as
published in the GRAPHIC, the
Council passed an ordinance re-
dncing the street TO forty feet for |
grayeiing purposes. The GaAfHic

The Democracy Of Jefferson Coun-
ty have never been charged with
ingratitude. They are a loyal
and faithful people and never fail,
when opportunity presents itself,
to reward those who have stood
up for the people of this county.
In the present race for State
Auditor there is candidate in the
field who has on more than one
occasion proven his friendship for
the people of Jefferson County.
We allude to the Hon. Clay Sloan,
of Lawrence County. candidate for
State Auditor. Mr., Sloan has
served three sessions as a member
of the General Assembly of the
State-one session in the House
and two in the Senate. In his
public career Mr.. Sloan has often
shown his sympathy for and APP
probation of the conditions that
surround the Democracy of the
9swamp district" Mr. Sloan was
chairman of the caucus that framed
the present Election Law and was
one of the few men from his section
of the State who stood up for and
advocated the passage of that bill.
And during the last two sessions
of the Legislature, as one of the
Senators therein, the writer can
give personal testimony to the fact
that during that period Senator
Sloan always came to the support
of the swamp Democracy, and
especially Jefferson County, when
ever appealed to; and that he was
one of the few men from the north
western section Of the State that
really understood aud appreciated
the conditions and needs of South
eastern Arkansas.
The railroad men all over the
State also have occasion to remam-
Der Senator Sloan gratefully and
kindly, for he was one of the
Senators who voted and worked
diligently for the passage of the
"Fellow-Servants Bill.
We think Senator Sloan's services
in the past for the interest of these
people, and the people Of this sec
ton of the State, are worthy of
recognition and reward, and there
fore we hope when our county con
vention meets on June the 10th that
Jefferson county will instruct for

is unable to understand this action
of the Council in defiance of the
wishes Of the property holders on
that thoroughfare. But few of the
property holders are in favor OF re-
dncing the street below forty-fye
feet. Certain it is that this action
is not compatible with the wishes
of the signers of the original petit
ton As we before stated. when
the petition was passed around for
siguers the understanding was that
the street was to be graveled, not
merely part OF it, In view of this
action of the Council there is but
one course of action for those who
are opposed to narrowing and
Decorating Fifth avenue to pur-
sue, and that is to go into court
and ask for an injunction to re-
strain the commissioner from re-
dueing the street to the narrow
width proposed. We dc not believe
in signing a petition for one thing
and getting quite another. The
original purpose of the petitioners
and property holders should be
carried out, or else the work should
be estopped in the courts. Itdoes
seem to US that the residents and
property holders on Fifth avenue
should have some rights in the
premises, especially where their
own property is concerned. The
reduction of the street to forty
feet does not carry out the desires
Of the original signers to the
petition.

VETO or THE RIVER And
H4RBOR BILL.

President Cleveland's veto of the
River and Harbor Bill should be a
source Of qualification to the tax
payers of the nation out of whose
pockets all appropriations must
finally come. His reasons are clear
ly set forth in his veto message,
which must appeal to the patriot
ism Of the entire country.
The President correctly declares
chat many of the objects for which
the river and harbor bin appropri-
ates public money are not related to
the public welfare;n says the Chicago
Record, an Independent newspaper,
in discussing this subject, and
many of them are palpably for the
benefit of limited localities or in aid
of individual interest. He also says
that some Of the projects for which
appropriations are proposed in the
bill have been entered upon without
the approval or against the obiec-
tions of the examining engineers. A
more remarkable statement is the
following
"I learn from official sources
that there are appropriations con
tanned in the bill for work which
private parties have actually agreed
with the government to do in con
sideration of their occupancy of
public property.
1.-THE President points out that
there are All items of appropriations
contained in the bill and that
every part of the country is repre-
scented in the distribution of its
favors. Therefore, while it is true
the bill contains meritorious pro-
visions, it will be suspected that its
strength with Congressman is due
to the fact that it is in great part a
log-roiiing measure, in which the
special and pet interests of members

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has vetoed
the rivers and harbors bill appro.
priating $4,000, 900 for the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors.
1t also prevents the authorization
of contracts for river and harbor
work amounting to more than $62,
900, 600. Had this bill become a
law, obligations would have been
imposed upon the government
amounting to the startling aggre-
gate of $50, 000, 600.
Semi=weekly graphic., 1896-06-03

are looked out for without regard to
the effect on the public treasury As
President Arthur said OF such meas
ures in a veto of river and harbor
bill in 1892: Thus as the bill be-
comes more Objectionable it secures
more support.
Congress is especially to be crit
ieised for extravaganza in appro-
priations at time when the Gov
eminent revenues are small At
tention is called to this point by the
President. It looks very much as
if the way was being prepared by
Congress and an excuse devised for
the enactment of another high-tarifl
law as soon as there shall be a
change Of administration.
ct has been expected, even in
Congress, that the President would
veto this bill just as he has done.
In anticipation of such action adj
iournment was delayed long enough
to give an opportunity to pass the
measure over the veto The objec-
tions of the President ale to be over
ridden, not because they are ILL
taken, but simply because there
may be votes enough TODD so. This
will be a sorry spectacle if the pro
gramme is carried out. The Presi
Dental veto will receive the sane

lice about the costumes, or rather the lack
of costumes of the Harvard athletes, who
every afternoon run through the streets Of
Cambridge for exercise. Two years ago
similar complaints were made, aud the re-
suit was that the captains of the various
teams united in a circula; letter asking the
candidates % wear more clothing while
exercising, but the clothing has been get
ting less and less, and again the inhabi-
tants of Cambridge have asked the police
authorities 10 take immediate action.
They sly they do not mind merely hav-
ing the students run in The streets with
their tight lifting running trunks and no
stockings at all, but they do object TO
having their daughters walking around
with men in such costumes. 1t is thought
that the faculty Will issue an edict on The
subject soon.
