The TEXARKANIAN gets better
advertising rates than any other
paper published here in the past
four years-because it is by far the
best medium, our business men are
willing to give it more. We simply
ask fair and impartial comparison
of this paper with any published
here the past five or six years; it
not only contains the news of the
city, but is well printed and we'll
arranged. 1t is enabled to do this
because it has every facility and is
gotten out bya thorough printer and
newspaper man of % years expert
ence. Pardon these personal allu-
sions, but they are true and perti-
nent-we believe in advertising,
you know.

The College Hill road that the
Iron Mountain is building out to

promised in an ordinance, is to be a
thing of beauty and JOY forever"
to the travelling public, The road
promised to make the base Of this
street 60 feet wide and crown it up
to 30 feet on top, We learn from
Mr., Kirby, who has been over it
several times that the contractor
has pitched his base, at the widest
place, at 40 feet and crowned 1t up
to "a feet, aud some places the road
and road-bed is much narrower, If
this is true, the council should meet
at once and condemn 1t, and see
that the same Is made to I'LL the re-
Quirements OF the ordinance, This
city does not owe the Iron Noun

ONE WAY TO UNTANGLE.

The political complication brought about as result of the action of the populitel national convention in the no1n- ination of Bryan and the rejection of Sewall is furnishing a prolific theme for editorial writers. It is indeed interesting to note the many different ideas that are being advanced and the various plans for getting out of the tangle that are be- ing suggested. The New Orleans Times Democrat Is one of the staunehest demo- cratic journals in the south, as we'll as one of the ablest advocates of the free coinage of silver. In view of these facts it is of course interesting to know how the Times-Democrat would have the tangle unraveled. We therefore append hereto an editorial from that able jour nal on the subject:
 .'The- suggestion of some of the popu- list leaders that the democrats take down Sewall as vice president and SUD- port Watson instead in return for the populist support given Bryan, is one which cannot for moment be consider ed. The proposition that q party as old as the democracy. which controlled the

England is willing to arbitrate when the game is not close. In every ten-in- ming game, however, she wants to sub- stitute her own umpire.-Indianapo News. at

 When Mir. Hanna of Cleveland took charge of the Mckinley boom at St. Lou is he formulated his idea of a winning campaign in the suggestion that on the financial question the republican party should occupy "the broad and middle ground and should push the tariff is sue to the front" It is fortunate for Mir. Hanua's reputation as a statesman that his idea did not prevail. Destiny. which has overruled even greater men than MT. Hanna, has overruled him. The narrow strip which divides free silver from sound money" was not broad enough for the convention to stand on, and now 1t is said that the republican managers have abandoned all hope of being able to revise the tariff-New York World, Dem.
 The drift is toward Bryan The news papers of the south who have agreed with the News and Courier as to the un- democratic declarations of the Chicago platform are coming out for Bryan. and the movement, the "craze.'" as the north,- ern, press has described it.. is making gains in the north and east. MT. Whit ney and his friends began their work too late. If they do not go to work now, and stick to 1t, the sound mdney" people will lose.

AM ENGLISH GoLDBUa OPINION.


 If the men who are so bitterly opposed even threaten to sever their connection with the democratic party will give the following editorial from the London Fi- nancial News goldbug organ, a care ful reading probably they may change their opinion. If they are opposing free coinage because they sincerely believe with the present lights before them that it would prove injurious to this country they will at least be induced to inquire into the matter further after carefully perusing what this English newspaper has to say of the effect free coinage will have. At least with that hope we ap- pend the editorial from the London Fi- nancial News:
 '"There is a plain moral in the remark that if the United States would venture to cut herself adrift from Europe and take outright to silver she would have all America and Asia at her back and the command of the markets of both coun- tries. The barrier of gold would be more fatal than any barrier of a. custom house. The bond of silver would be stronger than any bond of free trade. There can be no doubt about 1t that if the United States were to adopt a silver basis to- morrow British trade would be ruined before the year was out. Every Amer ican would be protected not only at home, but in every other market. Of course the United States would suffer to a certain extent through having to pay her obligations abroad in gold, but the loss of exchange under this head would be a mere drop in the bucket as compar- ed to the profit to be reaped from the , markets of South America and Asia, to say nothing of Europe. The marvel is that the United States have not long ago seized the opportunity. It has been a piece of luck that it has never occurred to the Americans to scoop us out of the worlds markets by going on silver ba- sis, and it might serve us right if. irritat- ed by the contemptible apathy of our government toward the silver problem, the Americans retaliated by freezing out gold. It could be easily done.''

PASTEPOT PERSIFLAGE.

The potter heard the big editor say the other day, with some remarks on the aide, that he didn't want any more cam paign poetry. He is right. In one re- spect the republican national ticket has decided advantage. It presents an ironclad front and rear to the poetaster. He may cudgel his cranium all day in the vain attempt to produce something which will jingle with "McKinley;" and Hobart is a stone wall against which he may beat out his brains. On the other hand, the democratic nominees are good game for rhymesters of the baser sort For instance, as is sadly attested by doc umentary evidence in this office, Bryan can be coupled with fine" sign" "mine,' rhine" chine" ''tryin'," fly in'," "dyin'," 'lyin'," and the hideous ct cetera; while Sewall is fair play for "jew- el,' "cruel," fuel" "duel" and Con a pinch) ''muel." Is it any wonder that the muses have plucked up their skirts and fled affrighted?
 This is reproduced from. the Morgan County Herald for the especial benefit and behoof of Editor Jelks:
 "It will be a gala day Thursday, July 30, at Gurley. Some of the nations most distinguished speakers will be present."
 The Anniston Hot Blast talks of new Richmond in that congressional field:
 "We learn that the friends of s. D. G, Brothers, Esq, of Jacksonville are in- sisting that he enter the race for congress in this district. MT. Brothers is an able lawyer a staunch democrat, and, we learn, stands f1atfooted on the Chicago platform, and if he enters the race, which he will very probably do, will prove a formidable candidate"

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We. inc democrats of the state of Ala bama, in convention assembled, declare our continued faith in the old time and honored principles of the democratic party, and among these principles are the following:
 i The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1 as the standard money of the country without any dis crimination against either metal and without the consent of foreign nations, gold before the republican party ob- fained control of the government and chonged the coinage laws of the country for the benefit of class and to the in jury of great mass of the people.
 ?. The unconstitutional penalty of 10 ner centum on each issue of state bank notes by any state or national bank ought to be repealed.
 It Is our purpose to maintain govern nent in this state fair and just to all. under control of the white men of Ala bama.
 The faith and credit of the state must he maintained untarniShed.
 Our system of public education should he improved and extended so far as the state has the ability, without oppressive taxation.
 We are in favor of honest and fair elections, and we recommend that laws be enacted under which primary cleo tions and other party proceedings for the selection of candidates may be eon- ducted.
 We cordially invite all good citizens of this state, and especially all democrats who strayed from the party, to- unite with us in an earnest and determined ef- fort to maintain good government in the state of Alabama.
 Let us preserve the dignity and credit and peace, and, if possible, the prosperity of our state.
