conclusion comes from the careless read

taken from the report Of the director OF tho

$ Butcher's stationery"

1t is apparent from the circulars
accompanying a lot ofcheap, inferior
writing paper recently sown broad-
cast through the city, that such
houses only expect to receive orders
from that class Of business men who
do not know Il good thing when
they see it, In their circulars they
say that in this day and age it is
penny wise and pound foolish to
substitute butchers paper for writ
ing paper, or endeavor to get along
without the proper printed station
cry. We dc not suppose that any
merchant in Pine Bluff has ever been
guilty Of substituting butchers pa
per Ter writing paper, and we aresure
there is not one OF them that does
not know too much about business
to undertake to get along without
printed stationery. We also rely
upon their ability to Judge between
thesamples oi butchers paper" sent
out by this house and the honest
stock handled by honest printers.
For the same stock we will duplicate
any prices in America.

Plans Out to Have 1t Read at Every
Courthouse Before Election.
MEXICO, Mo-, Oct, GA plan has
been promulgated to have Candidate
Bryan's Chicago convention speech read
in every courthouse in the United States
before the election. Harry Turner of
Mexico, made the suggestion to Chair
man Jones of the Democratic national
committee, and has received this letter
from the chairman dated Chicago:
your letter is received and carefully
read. would be gratified beyond meas
ure if you would take active hold of the
matter indicated and give it as wide a
circulation as you possibly can. be-
lieye the reading of Bryan's Chicago
speech in every courthouse in the United
States will do worlds of good. Ithank
you very much for the interest you man
ifest in the campaign"
Mr. Turner, therefore suggests that
the chairman of the central committee
of each state tissue a manifesto requir-
ing some leading Democrat in each
oountyseat throughout the country to
get up a Bryan love feast next week
and have a man with a good voice read
that. great speech.

To Our Subscribers.

During the present month state
ments have been sent TO such OF our
subscribers as are in arrears to the
Semi Weekly GRAPHIC. These state
ments of accounts are in pursuance
os the customary business policy,
and we hope our subscribers VIII
receive them with good will and
make as early response as possible.
II any mistakes have been made in
any OF these statements Of account,
the same will lie promptly and
cheerfully corrected at our business
Office.
During the last few years the
GRAPHIC has been lenient with its
delinquent subscribers, and at the
same time has changed from a
Weekly to a Semi Weekly newspaper,
thereby giving its readers two
papers week, with more reading
matter, for the former price OF one.
Therefore we must ask those who
are indebted to us for subscription
To settle the same at once without
further delay. The GRArHio needs
money and has earned that which is
due it, and there Is no reason why
its subscription accounts should not
be paid the same as other accounts.
Those who are in arrears to the
dRApHIc will therefore save them
selves time and trouble by settling
their Indebtedness ut once.

Bryan Talks to College Students.

JACKSONVILLE, Ills, Oct. 27.-Per-
haps the noisiest demonstration that
has ever been given to any one within
the walls of the chapel of Illinois col
lege was the one paid to w. J. Bryan
yesterday morning by the students of his
alma mater Shortly after 10 o'clock
he spoke to the students of the college
from which he graduated, and his adj
dress, while of political nature and a
defense of double standard theory of
finance, was so automatically given
that no student within his hearing could
take offense at it.

it is regarded as certain that the cabi-

to sustain Errazuriz. These members
will abstain from voting, but will be
present at the sessions and will actively
censure the policy pursued by the cabi.

Dissatisfaction is especially felt with

oulated here and abroad. The minis.
terisl appointments also are far from
satisfactory to politicians.
