LOOK INTO THE MATTER.

The Iron Mountain road, should
it ever 90 into the hands Of a re-
ceiver, the assets Of gall" on hand,
would liquidate the most OF the
debts. II comes before our city
council and asks il to grant them
the right Of way on Front street
for a long term Of years, profering
nothing in return for the valuable
franchise asked. In other cities
railroads are required to pay sOme-
thing for these privileges, aud the
money thus obtained is used to
keep up the streets, but here in
Texarkaua the road wants all and
gives up nothing. We are in favor
of granting them all they ask for
traffic facilities but they should be
willing to pay for what they get.
They have kept the st. Louis South
western from using the street, even
after the council voted them the
right of way through the same, in
order that the road might come in
from the north without backing its
trains, and it has acted hoggishly
with every railroad that ever start
ed here, even Furnishing our busi-
ness men with high freight rates,
yet they come in supplicant man
ner and ask us to give them whole
street that they may block out all
other roads and enterprises not
bringing money to their till.
We think the council should be-
gin to look about them to raise
some revenue to run the city gov
ernment, and we don't know of any
better way than to rent the streets
for this purpose.
The Iron Mountain has more
property and pays less city tax
than any enterprise here according
to the true valuation of property,
The bill for an ordinance grant
ing the franchise asked for by them,
has been read twice and before our
alderman vote it to them, we ask
them to give it their tull attention.

MATRIMONIAL BUREAU.
II Was Opened Here to a Good House
and Gave Satisfaction.

Last night Texarkana theatre
goers laughed as they have never
laughed before.
McFee's Matrimonial Bureau was
the attraction, and it abounded in
funny situations, sallies of wit,
mirthful songs, good dancing, diff
cult acrobatic feats, scientific box
ing aud champion shooting. The
piece is nothing but "skit' and
keeps one guessing, what next?'
The play is put on the stage in
three acts, and each act Is under
the head OF Rounds" and from
the time the curtain goes up until
it is dropped on the last act, the
house is in one continuous uproar
of laughter.
The three leading characters TAX
en- by the male portion OF the troupe
were John H. Flaherty, as McFee,
Bob Connors, as Barney Mcguire,
Chelso D. Peruchi, as Snapper. The
female members, ten in number,
were all stars in their roles. They
sang sweetly, danced divinely, loved
madly and went wild over the fact
that they we're in line to marry a
a TITLED nobleman. The ladies de-
serving mention of name were the
Reyford sisters, and the Misses
Carleton, Hazel and Daisy. The
company is good one, and we hope
it will have crowded houses
wherever they play. II will proba,
bly, play a return date here, when
no doubt a crowded house will greet

MONEY QUESTION NOT SETTLED.

A dollar which increases IN pur.
chasing power is an advantage to
those who trade in money and to
those who hold fixed investments,
but it is an injury to those who owe
money and purchase il with the
proceeds OF toll. 1t must be eyi-
dent, therefore, that the people IA
mlliarly known as tinauciers cannot
be trusted to frame a financial poll
cy for the whole people unless they
are entirely free from the SELFISH
ness which is generally supposed to
be a weIlnlgh universal trait of
mankind. Money loaners have
never been known to advocate laws
reducing the legal rate of interest;
why should they be expected to ad-
vocate a financial system which will
stop the appreciation of money?
The advocates of free coinage
have asserted that the gold stand
ard is a conspiracy organized by the
great financiers of the world to les
sen the volume of the worlds stand
ard money for the double purpose,
first, of raising the purchasing pow
er of given quantity OF money,
and, second, of making it easier to
corner the supply of standard mon
ey, The advocates of free coinage
believed the charge when they
made it, and they believe it still. In
spired by the conviction that they
are laboring in behalf OF a large
majority of the people, hot only
here, but throughout the world,
they will continue their fight, con-
fdent that four more years of ex-
perience will convince many who
have thus far resisted argument.
Some of our opponents, rejoicing
in victory, are attempting to cry
down any further consideration of
the money question They com
plain that agitation disturbs busi-
ness, and they accuse the advocates
of free coinage of stirring up dis
content. The violent epithets used
by some of the worshipers of gold
recall the story of the London fish
wife who was demonstrated with
for abusing an eel. She justified
her language by saying that the eel
would not keep still while she was
skinning it. Those who suffer be-
cause of the gold standard can
hardly be expected to keep quiet
and look pleasant while the injury
continues. Hard names do not re-
lieve their sufferings. They too
want confidence restored, but it
must be a confidence that their
condition will be improyed-not
that their lot will be made still
harder.-North American Review.
