AN IMPOSITION.

Some one unknown to the FREE
PRESS addressed postal card to this
office bearing the following message:
Mr.. EDITOR: Please advertise, and l will
see you later: ''Thirty Swedish laborers
wanted at Mankato grading R. R. Apply to
Erickson & Peterson, Con. None but Swedes
need apply
OF course we were led to suppose
that MeSsrs. Erickson & Peterson sent
the card, and that the cost of adver-
tising was to be charged to them. 1t
seems, however, that the card was
written by an unauthorized and un-
known person for the evident purpose
OF rejecting upon the contractors.
The contractors are very indignant
over the matter, as they say they have
all the men they can use, and further,
that in hiring labor the question of
nationality has never been thought of
nor entertained. In fact, they have
less Scandinavians in their employ
than of some other nationalities. The
FREE PRESS has been imposed upon
in this instance, and we regret that it
should have appeared in these col
umnS.

Liberal Policy Toward Shipping.
We demand that henceforth modern
and liberal policies toward American
shipping shall take the place of our imita-
ton of the restricted statutes of the
eighteenth century which were abandoned
by every maritime power but the United
States, and which to the nations humilia-
ton, have driven American capital and
enterprise to the use of alien flags and
alien crews, have made the Stars and
Stripes an almost unknown emblem in
foreign countries, and have virtually ex-
tinguished the race of American .seamen.
We oppose the pretense that discrimi-
mating duties will promote shipping, and
that scheme is an invitation to CONNER

1T is NO WONDER.
Popocrat County Nominees Hasten
to Leave the Doomed Ticket.

The fusion deal in this county has
not born good fruit thus far. Three
of the joint nominees have already
had their names taken off the ticket,
and people are wondering how long it
will be before the rest follow.
The candidates and the executive
committees of the two parties held a
meeting last night in the Office of
Judge Porter and W. B. Davies.
A letter was received from Brook
W. Sewers, of Eagle Lake, declining
to accept the two nominations as
clerk of court and saying that if he
had been present at the two conven-
tiOns he would not have allowed the
use Of his name.
A person present stood up and said
that he had been requested by D. A.
Thayer to withdraw his name for
coroner, he having received the two
nominations for that office. No rea-
son was given for this action.
Then came the declination of D. G.
Evans, to run for county commits
sioner in the Third district, although
he was on the Popocratic ticket.
The Popocrats in the room sat
speeches. and aghast and looked
from one to another, wondering who
would be the next to leave the sink
ing ship. AS each looked at his
neighbor he saw sorry looking lot of
bicycle faces, and somebody hummed
"White Wings"
To keep up appearances, the meet
ing thought that it would be best to
fill out the ticket, and put on the
name of Stephen Thorne, the present
very efficient Republican clerk of
court, DR.. j. A. Hielscher, the popu-
lar gold Democrat, for coroner, and
Reece Evans for RObt. S. Hughes to
defeat in the Third district.
The trouble seems to be due to the
fact that hardly anybody wanted to
go on the ticket after fusion had been
agreed upon, and the two conventions
picked up lot of names at haphaz-
zard in the hope that they would not
decline to run. But this is distinc-
lively Republican year, and no one
can be blamed for showing sufficient
wisdom to get off of the unpopular
ticket, and thus save the cost of an
expensive canvass.
The meeting chose the following
Joint campaign committee, selected

Business.

T notice is yesterdays paper that you said business was almost at a stand-still Monday said MT. Isaac Dreyfus, the big clothier to d GRAPHIC reporter this morning
 In that you were entirely mis- taken, continued the big merchant. Our business yesterday was i'm mensc and we had to turn away GUS toners because they could not be waited on, and I suppose it was the same way with other mercantile houses. Business has Got been so dull in town as is generally believed this season. Our books show that our sales this fall have been at least 60 per cent. greater than for the same period last year. Business is good, and this continual cry of hard times and dull trade will do our town no good, especially when the facts do not warrant such a state ment'"
 The G RAPHIc reporter assured MT. Dreyfus that the item was based upon his observations in making his rounds of the city, and he was glad to learn that business was thrifty aRd prosperous.
 In this connection it might be well to mention that MT. Dreyfus is one of the largest and most pro gressive advertisers in Pine Bluff, and it is remarkable fact that large advertisers rarely ever have cause to complain of dull trade. Whether this is simply coincidence or not we do not undertake to say,

HAS HE CAUSE TO MOURN ?
Why Republican Now Wishes That
 Bryan Had Been Elected.

Why Republican Now Wishes That
 Bryan Had Been Elected.
 A few days ago Pine Bluff con- tained many happy and exuitant Republicans over the fact that Me Kinley had been elected President. One of this number, especially, was so iubilant that he "diked" out in his Sunday clothes, pinned yellow chrysanthemums on the lappel Of his coat and took ride around a block in wheelbarrow which was wheeled by a Democrat who was as Respondent as the Republican was exultant
 Now, change has come ger the dreams of the Republican, and Me Kinley's victory has been as the apple of Soddam 10 one of his ad mirers, just as his anticipations were most delightful. The aforesaid Republican is now a woefully sad and Respondent man, and his shouts of exultation are heard no more-in the land. A blight has fallen on his erstwhile jovial spirits and his face wears an expression as long as the ears of Baalam's ass; the shouts of victory uttered by his Republican friends are to him as bitter as worm wood.
 Last night a friend met the gen. tleman referred to, noticed his de- iected looks, and in kindness asked the cause therefor.
 A melancholy smile fitted over the Republican's face as he faltered out: T have just received bad news.
 Are any of your relatives or acquaintances dead" asked the friend.
 No; replied the1 Republican, sbut I have just received letter from my father-in-law, which says that since Mckinley is elected he proposes to let his wife, my mother in-law, visit ne and my wife for several weeks. As you art not married man, you can not under tand what this means to me.

Pine Blufians Talked About.

EIne BluflanS Talked About.
 Under the caption of ..Here, There and Elsewhere, ; the Memphis Con- mercial-Appeal of Monday talks very Interestingly about several we'll known Pine Bluflians. The article is evidently from the pen of Mir c. P l. Mooney, who is now managing editor of the Commercial-Appeal, and who spent about two years in Pine Bluff and did his first news paper work on the GBAPHc, which was then in its swaddliHg clothes Here is what Brother Mooney has to say about three well-known and distinguished Pine Bludians:
 Maj. Chas Gordan Newman, editor of the Pine Bluff Commercial and the original protectionist per se, has the following to say ofhis former fellow townsman. C. R. Breckinrilge:
 Ut is believed that Clifton Rhodes Breckenridge will continue under Mckinley aS amaSSad0r to Russia. It is thought that he will get the czar and czafina to appeal to the new President to retain him No one in this community will object to his retention"
 There is a sneaking suspicion in Pine Bluff that the Majorhad booked himself for tha Muscovite portfolio in the event of Bryan's election. The Major once cut q pas seul in thesame set with the Prince of Wales, and he probably desires to round up his Journalistic and diplomatic career by leading the grand march at the annual opening of the st. Petersburg Ice Palace with Cossack lady lean ing on his gallant arm.
 However, the Major must drink Arkansas river water four years longer. But, come to think of it, no sweeter and better water trickles from the melting glaciers of the Alps than that which floats lazily along the shores at Pine Bluff. l drank it two years, and liked it. However, there are several men in Pine Bluff who never drink anything as weak as water, though I shall not partic-
 larize.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-11-10

but nevertheless it is an indisput- able fact.
 Of course, advertising is only a factor to be considered in trade getting. The advertisement is of little or no value unless it speaks the truth and the advertiser is pro- gressive in his methods, and does just exactly as he advertises.
 In Mr. Dreyfus case his prosperity is due to several causes, all closely correlated In the first place he is progressive in his methods, and calls the attention of customers in addition to his advertisements to what he has in stock; he does not rely solely upon his advertisements but by personal efforts and the ef- forts of a corps of polite and eff cient clerks, endeavors to impress upon customers the value of his goods. He carries a large stock and variety of all goods in his line, and then, too, he has strictly one price, and cheerfully refunds the money if the goods should prove unsatisfac- tory.
 These progressive and business like methods are bound to bring sue : cess, and we are pleased to chroni- cle that Mr. Dreyfus business
