The Cretans insist on anne xatlon to
Greece.
Since all pools have been declared a
violation Of the Sherman antitrust act,
they are dissolving fast.
When the L. :. senate gets through
with the arbitration treaty its authors
will not know it, and are very likely to
disown it,
A delegation OF See Yup Cinnamon
called upon the president on Wednes-
day. The probably want the duty re-
duced on pigtals.
The Presidents determination not
10 make any appointments until he feels
like it, will probably set some people We
could mention thinking that, after all
true patriotism IS not measured by greed
for office.

danger until he Is dead.
-Ex-Senator Ingalls,, who was a wit
ness of the COrbett- FitZsmmOns fight,
hut does not approve of prize-fighting,
classes racing, baseball, riding to the
hounds, hunting, football, and other
athletic sports with that brutal pastime.
There is not much difference between
being pounded to death and kicked to
pieces, and most people would not ob-
ject to the discontinuance of prize-fights
and football, but few will follow the ex-
senator to the length he would 60. Jack
would be a very duh boy if some people
had their way.
When Senator Mason, of Illinois,
comes back for reelection he will prob
ably have to explain in what respect
naturalized American citizen is in
ferior to native born citizen, and he
should be made to feel that the foreign
born element in Illinois numbers with
in its ranks many of the truest and
best Americans. 1t is pity that the Re-
publican party of Illinois should be
placed on record as being opposed to
foreign-born citizens being members of
the board of arbitration. The senate
did well to table his amendment. Men
OF his narrow views are out of place IN
our national senate, and should be role-
gated to sphere of usefulness for which
their diminutiye tntellects best suit
them.
There Is neither head nor tail to the
political situation up to this time. The
caucuses will be held tonight (Frlday),
and the Republican convention to-mor-
row Saturday., afternoon, and the
Democrats will make their choice in
evening. The Republican strength Is
somewhat divided, Perry Ekstrand,
the present popular city treasurer, hay
ing large following as well as the pres
ent mayor. There is not hard fight
between these men. but Still a dark
horse may step in and make satisfac-
tory compromise. In most of the wards
the retiring aldermen are candidates for
reelection, but all have opposition. At
the East end, First ward, there is one
man, Mr.. James Bardon. the present
representative on the County board,
who will have but little opposition. \
leading Republican voiced the senti-
ments of most of our people by saying
not be found, and that he guessed Mr..
Bardon could have 1t as long as he would
bother with the office.
We have no objection to any minis
ter praying for Mr.. Bryan, he probably
needs divine guidance as much az most
people. But one cannot read the PRAYER
Little Rock without feeling a strong in
clination to laugh clear around to the
ears, like the Boy Orator himself.
Almighty God. our gracious heavenly
Father. through thy kind providence
we have lived to see another day, and
the CITY of Little Rock is astr, because
of the arrival of Il distinguished guest in
the person of Hon. w. J. BRYAN, who,
according to previous arrangement, was
to have arrived on yesterday, but was
nnavoidably detained, which caused HIM
not to be able to meet his engagement:
hut no serious accident having befallcn
him, he arrived at an early hour this
morning and was met and greeted by
thousands This distinguished guest Is
considered one of the greatest men of
the continent in some respects; he has
travelled as far and delivered as MANY
or more speeches in the same length OF
time than any other man upon the con
tinent. We pray Gods protecting care
over him, and that no accident may be-
fall him while on his return to his home
and family" This jumhle Of political
rot and invocation, however. is no less
amusing than many other SO called
prayers offered up during the last con-
test
