"OOM" KRUGER HAS HIS WAY.
Chamberlain wi,hdraws the Invit"

Chamberlain withdraw ws the Invita-
tiOn to the Transvaal President.
London. April 27.-In the House OF Com
mons today Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain.
secretary of state for the colonies, in re-
ply to questions on the subject stated that
The government had received by telegraph
the substance OF President Kruger's re-
ply to the governments invitation to visit
London to discuss Transvaal affairs. The
reply, he said. was long, and could not be
fairly appreciated without referring TO the
dispatch in exteuso and to the preceding
correspondence.
President Kruger, in the course of his
reply to the British invitation to come to
England" continued Mr.. Chamberl ain,
vs;id that he felt confident that the British
government would recognize the difficulty
of his position. and that it appeared to him
10 be a wise course not to press the ques-
.tion-ef his proceeding to England any fur
ther at present. but to leave the matter
open. more especially in view of the ap-
proach of the opening of the session of the
VolkSraad. which it was desirable that he
should attend. as measures of great inn
portancc were to be considered 1t was
his confident hope that by the exercise of
patience and tact on both sides peaceful
and satisfactory solution of the questions at
issue could be attained
Under the circumstances, Mr.. Chamber
lain added. the government reluctantly
withdrew their invita- ton to President
Kruger, and had cabled to Sir Her
cules Robinso on, governor of the Cape
Colony, instructing him that as soon as
Sir Graham John Bower, the imperial
secretary at Capetown, should arrive
there Oh his return from England. he being
now on the way, he (Robinsopl should come
10 England and receive instructions which
would guide him in the pursuit of future
negotiations.
Mr.. Chamberlain announced that the
whole correspondence would shortly be
published.

CITY AFFAZRS.

The financial affairs of the city are in most satisfactory condition. As per statement rendered by the Finnace Committee of the Council at the last meeting. warrants out standing, and due between Decem- Der 1st ard July 10th, 1897, are $31, ,918.91; on hand, $4,004 34. Our income to July 10, $50, 800; leaving balance not appropriated, $2,90O. Against that amount we will draw monthly accounts to approximate amount of $24, 900. So, on July 1st, 1897, the debt of the city will only amount to the very small sum of s21, ,OOO, against $26,OO0 in July, 1895.
 What city the size of Pine Bluff can say the same?
 Our streets are in first-class con dition; also, all bridges and culverts. We have an outfit for street lm- provement consisting of six fine horses, grader, roller, blows and wagons. We have made some per manent improvement in building tiling and brick culverts, instead of wood. The Martin avenve and Main street improvements will save the city thousands of dollars in future.
 Our Police department is com posed of honest and fearless men. The success of this administration is largely due to their efforts and those of our worthy Police Judge.
 The Fire department is at pres ent in a perfect condition, well sup

 MERRILL =LVSTTTTTTE.


 This building with its uses and benefits is the work of Mr. Joseph Merrill, who spent about fifty years of his life in Pine Bluff, and by his industry and frugality massed a moderate fortune. As the years crept on him and he realized that he could not expect but that he must be called to give an account of his stewardship, the desire seemed to grow on hin to do something for this people that would result in the greatest good for the greatest num- Der. The continuation of this desire is the Merrill Institute.
 All honor to our benefactor-w while we utilize his benificence let us not forget him. What has he given us? X beautiful building for gymnasium, library, and social parlors affording OUT people an elevating place to spend their time-eyery day and night in the week with a cordial invitation to all to come and par ticipate in the benefits.
 These features are good and are doing good. but the crowning fea- ture of this donation is the endowed lecture course-enabling the Board of Trustees to put before this com munity at half the cost fo rthe sam Q talent in any other community in the South. It is the finest lecture course in the South, and 1 am grati- fled to see the increased interest manifested in this feature by our people. Nor is this all; any boy in the community between the ages of 10 and 16 years by paying $2 for a membership in the Institute has not only the privileges of the building but this entit9les him to the entire course of entertainments. Some time when l see how many hoys there are who are not taking ad- vantage of the privileges I wonder if they understand their opportunities.
 Our privileges are great, our re- responsibilities are great; let us try and live up to them.

pany was paid for taking the risk and it ought to pay The old system of individual bondsmen has not proved Il success; hence, itis but the lpaft of common business sense to adopt it.
 The practical workings of our common school law has brought to l light certain defects which should be cured. As the law GoW is tae school directors in each district alone have the power to employ teachers, fix their monthly pay and determine the number of months the school shall be taught in each year. The power has been frequently abused. In many districts the directors, through ineompeteney or dishonesty, will not only make contracts which will absorb the revenue for the cur rent year, but will run the district in debt to 8 point where it will take the revenues of several years to dis charge. T4Is could be remedied by amending the law in such a way that theF would have no power to make a contract which the probable revenues of the current year would not discharge.
 Then another subject which should receive attention of our law makers and that is the change of venue in criminal cases. The law on that subject should be so amended as to invest the Circuit Judge with dis cretion in such matters. As the law now is, all any defendant has to do to obtain achange of venue in his case is to make oath and obtain other persons to do the same thing, stating that he does not believe he can have a fair trial in the county under the prosecution presiding, and the court is bound to grant the change to some other county. 1t frequently hapens in actual practice that the defendant resorts to the change of venue merely for the purpose of get ting a continuance, and then he also has the hope that someo of the States witnesses will not be in attendance at the court in the county to which the case is sent. At all events the cost to the county are doubled, for nine times out of ten the defendant in such cases, has no property out of which the cost can be made if he is convicted.
 If it is in the power of the Legis- lature, some provision should be made so the number of witnesses in criminal cases could be limited.
 The standard of qualification of onr Justices of the Peace should be raised by requiring each man electe.l to the office to obtain from some competent authority a certificate of his fitness for the office. The above are only some of the improvements which could be made even under the present Constitution.

PUNISH THE OFFENDERS.
The Practice of Jumping on Moving
 Trains is Dangerous.

The Practice of Jumping on Moving
 Trains is Dangerous.
 The railroad officials and employees are greatly annoyed by practice made by boys and men in Pine Bluff who jump on and off moving trains. Saturday a young boy attempt ed to jump on the south bound pas senger train when he was thrown down and came very near being run over and killed. When the train ar rived at the depot the conductor re- ported the fact to a police officer and requested his assistance in putting stop to the practice. The officer re- piled that he had no power to do so, as there was no city ordinance gov erning the matter, and that the only way such offenders could be punish ed would be for the railroad people to swear out warrants against such persons, charging them with tress- passing.
 The council should at once pass an ordinance making it a nisdemeanor for a person to jump on or of a nov ing train, and see that the law is en- forced. Such a law will save the lives and limbs of many people, and rid railroad men of much annoyance.

piled with good men, good horses and good hose.
 The members of the City Council land Board of Public Affairs are composed of. some of the best busi- ness men of our city. There is no question but that the results ac- complished by our municipal govern ment is due ito the personal and conscientious attention of the af- fairs of the corporation by giyingits business the same scrutiny, the same3 thought, the same thorough coasidera tion by those in authority that they would give to private concerns. Our city in the past sui fered from bad citizenship of good citizens. They did not give the election of the city officials the con sideration it deserved. I know the future will be different.
 We are deficient as to City Hall and City Prison, but hope in the near future to add both improve ments.
 The prospects for an electric street car line and light company are very fattering, and we hope to give our citizens better facilities tor travel and cheaper lights,
