The Pine Bluff GRAPHIC supper
ted the full Democratic Pcpulist
fusion ticket after the State Central
Committee effected the arrangement,
but like scores of other Democratic
journals, did SO against its better
Judgment Now it says
OF all the fascoes Of ancient or
modern times, The Demo-Pop- Fus-
ion was the greatest. Its safe to say
that the Democratic party will
never fuse with the POpuists again
1t lost considerable of its self-re-
spect by so doing, and henceforth
the Pops will have to Keep in the
middle of the road
A leading Populist of this city
assured reporter of the Democrat
yesterday that the Populists and
Democrats would be consolidated
as one party two years hence, and
when asked if the Populists would
abandon their party rame and
affiliate with the Democrats, he
said No, the two parties will
never come together under the name
of Democrats; it will likely be toe
Democratic-People's party So the
GRAPHIC may just as well under
stand what our Populist friends ex-
bect They expect half the offices
IN the State, and intend that the
Democratic party shall hyphenate
It's name. Arkansas Democrat
The GRAPHIC begs to take this oc-
easion to say that should the Dem
ocrats and Populists fuseue year,
the GRAPHIC will not support the
ticket. The GRAPHIC is Demo
cratic, not a Populist newspaper.
We believe in the principles Of De
lpocraey, but not in the principles
of Popul1sm. The Populist party is
a party OF paternaIism and central
ization. Ii believes IN government
ownership OF railways, telegraph and
telephones; land loan and sub-treas-
ury schemes, and all the other
schemes of paternalism known to
ancient or modern history, which
have been thoroughly tested and ex-
ploded. There is nothing in com
mon between the fundamental prin-
eiples Of Democracy and PopulisIa.
The former believes in State
Rights, the doctrine Of State soy
ereignty, de. Capitalization, ard is
-paternaistie IN its teachings
and character; the latter believes in

Mrs. CASTLE, of San Francisco,
who was recently sentenced by a
London court to three months inn
prisonment, without labor. for shop
lifting, was on Monday released
upon recommendation of the Home
Secretary. Mrs. Castles is very
remarkable case. Her husband is a
millionaire. yet she plead guilty to
the charge of shop-lifting. The
woman is evidently a kleptomaniac,
or is insane. After her release, her
husband announced that he would
place her under a doctors care
until her health and mind are re-
stored. The leniency of the English
court and the Home Secretary, in
Mrs. Castles case, will be greatly
appreciated by all Americans. The
condition of her health and mind
were such as to entirely release her
from moral responsibility for the
crime of which she was guilty. Now
if the Home Secretary will release
Mrs. Maybrick, who is suffering a
life sentence in an English prison.
for crime of which.she is generally
believed to be innocent, Americans
will have greater respect for the
justice and clemency of English
courts and laws.

.SPEEDIER TRLALN.

Governor Atkinson. of Georgia,
recently reelected, in bis message
to the Legislature of that State
which convened a few days ago,
suggested some excellent reforms
in the criminal statutes of Georgia
with a view to securing speedier
trials and a more prompt admins
tration of justice generally In dis
cussing the laws too frequent de
lay in criminal cases, the Houston
Post says
"The laws delay is a fruitful source
of the miscarriage of justice in all
our American States. Coatinuanees
are easily obtained, the process for
securing the attendance of Witnesses
is either clumsy and inadequate, or
else the courts are too lenient in i'm
posing and enforcing penalties fer
contempt of the courts process, on
the executive officers negligent in
serving it. From various causes
prosecutions rock along leisurely
for months or years, new trials and
changes of venue prolong the agony
and weaken the States case until.
when the crime has been forgotten,
