SOME ROYAL DOGS.
Nearly All the sovereigns Of Europe Are
 Fond of Canine Pets.

NIGHTLY All GA1G 6ONGEGAkua OE AAuEOpG AAd
 Fond of Canine Pets.
 Nearly every one of the sovereigns of Europe, it appears, has one or more pet dogs The collies of Queen Victoria, the fox terriers of Princess Beatrice, with Jock as prime favorite, are known at least by hearsay to everybody.
 The emperor of Russia is also great lover of dogs. A London paper reports that he is always accompanied in his walks by couple of fine Danish hounds, whose strength and vigilance their master considers his best safe guard. The grave czar is often seen playing with these monster pets. He himself has taught them their tricks. and they are nearly always about him.
 The king of Greece shares the ezar's taste for the Danish hounds, which are as intelligent as they are strong, and which, with hardly bark to announce their intentions, will fly at the throat of any one whom their master may point out to them in case of need. When the empress of Austria goes on her long walks or rides, several pet dogs always accompany her But per haps the most widely known of all the royal dogs" of the present day is Black. the pet dog of the Russian Grand Duke Alexis.
 Black is q sportsman dog, of no very aristocratie breed. Indeed, if the truth must be told, he is a member of the race of mongrels which the fisher men in the south of France take out to sea, employing them to recapture any willy fish that may fall through the meshes of their nets or slip suddenly back into it's element after it has been once landed oil board tine barge Black is still rejoicing in the days of his youth, but his record, not only as a common fisherman but as fisher of men, is already great, for he has saved no fewer than six persons from a watery grave
 Some three or four years ago the Grand Duke Alexis was staying at Biarritz, One stormy night he went out on the cliff to get view of the angry sea. A boat was just being wrecked be- low, and he saw dog dashing with angry growlS and barks into the water and bringing to iand, one by one, three drowning men, while the crowd eheered the brave mongrel to the echo. The grand duke approached to caress the dog, and the animals master then offered Black to him, refusing to accept any payment. St Louis Post Dispatch

K. 0. GOULD, the disreputable editor Of the Little Rock Tribune, has been run out of that town be- cause of his general cussedness. The Tribune was sensational sheet, of the defunct Sunday Sun order, and was constant source of strife in the City of Roses. In addition to his unsavory career. Gould testified for the defense in the Heard case and was the chief witness against Mrs. Heard, about whom Heard claimed to have killed s. T. Blair in cold blood. This was the last straw against Gould, and a committee of citizens waited on him and caused him to leave town. Gould belongs to that class of editors who thrive by black-mail and blackguardism, and whose riddance is beneficial re- lief to any community. The GRAPHIC had occasion once to characterize Gould as the skunk" Of Arkansas journalism, which subsequest events have proven to be true, and it will be source Of pleasure to all decent Journalists to know that Gould has been driven from the State. May he and his fix never return.

FROM THE PLANTATION.
S. c. Alexander x Co.'s Weekly
 Cotton Letter.
Pine Bluff, Ark., Sept. IA, 1897,

Pine Bluff, Ark, Sept. l4, 1897. GENTLEMEN:--
 Nothing alarming nas happened in Arkansas since our last report; the weather is still very hot and dry, no rain since August l2th.
 The crop throughout the state is badly damaged and three-fourths of it is open; it is too late for rain to benefit cotton; rains now would lower the grades and cause upland cotton to be sandy.
 Southern and Eastern Arkansas will not make any larger yield than last year; some of our best planters say 1t will not be so large. There is streak about twenty miles wide and one-hundred miles long running through the southern part of the state from East to West that has been without rain since the 18th. of May; the farmers of this territory are moving to the river districts and pickingcotton for a Livelihood.
 Since passing the Bureau period some of our Eastern friends have wired that the report points to a crop of ten millions, and close upon this comes the rumor that Mir. Neill is to frighten us with Il new esti- mate of ten and q half millions. It is said that if we made a crop of eight and three-fourths on a Bureau report last September of 64.2 that the present report of 7S3 points to over ten millions. This argument will not hold good however, because the conditions are not the same; the last crop got a very early start and when the drought came the plant was well grown and heavily fruited; the extreme critical period did not arrive until August, and on the 10th. of that month it began raining and kept it up at seasonable intervals for over q month. Cotton took on a new growth and made a second crop.
 h1 B@ 0aGiI lidB " dS ld lC iIOlH the start and was followed by| cool weather up to June 9th. and when the warm weather did come the plant was small and withot fruit, It did very well up to August 1st. and matured bottom crop, but when the critical stage was reached in August, instead of moist ure we got temperature near the one-hundred mark, followed Sy hot winds.
 This caused the plant to shed all of the young fruit and to have the appearance of being scalded Every one knows that August is the criti- cal month with cotton, and it takes the proper seasons at that time to round out the crop; last year the seasons were good during August, while this year they were very bad.
 All things considered we hardly think the yield in this state will be any larger than last year.
 Yours very truly,
 s. C. ALEXANDER X Co.

THE 74R{FF.

When Senator lanes K Jones
 was in the city few days ago the
 Democrat published an interview
 with him on the probable effects of
 the new tariff, says the Arkansas
 Democrat. "He said, among other things, that t would bring about a commercial war among the differ ent countries that would be detri- mental to American products. AL ready there are evidences tending to prove the accprcy of his observa, tion. The Philadelphia Record re- marks that During the past sum mer representatives of the Argen- tine Republic visited the United States in the hope of enlarging the trade relations beween the two countries. The answer to their mission was the Dingley tariff, tax ing their wool and hides. And now the President of Argentina, in his message to Congress, recommends a high increase of duty on petroleum, lumber, agricultural implements, shoes and other articles that are al- most exclusively exported from the United States. A Boston house which does a large business with Argentina has received the follow ing dispatch from it's correspondent at Buenos AYres: Expect duties will be increased on American arti- cles. Don't buy more until you hear from us. Hurry forward al purchases. The extent of our trade with Argentina may be gathered from the statistics of exports to the Rivet Plate in August, which among other items included 548 mowers, 2,676 blows, 484 scales, 4,780 pack ages of shovels, 2,508 packages of axes, 3,729 sewing machines, and so on--the list covering a great variety of products The effect of the com mercial war inaugurated by Ding leyism will be to keep these goods at home, and to transfer to Eng land a large trade which is suscept- ible of very great expansion.

 THERE is sporadic effort on the part of three or four journals to run Prof Jordan for a third term, as Superin tebdent of Public Instruc. tion. The Prof. is one of the most elegant gentlemen in the State, but he was elected over the very best Superintendent the State ever had, the principal argument against whom was that he had already served two terms. If Josiah Shinn could not have a third term why should Prof. Jordan have it2 If SimCn P. Hughes, one of the best Governors the State ever had, had to be turned down when he wanted third term, out of respect for the Democratic precedent, why should the pleasant little gentleman from Pine Bluff be permitted to break the rule? If he were the only educator ir the State it would be different, - but there are others Third term talk for Prof. Jordan should cease.
 Helena World.
 The GRAPHIC has been given Q tip to the effect that Prof. Jordan will not be candidate for re=elec- tion as Superintendent of Public In structiou, but will stand for Con- gress in this district against Judge Little. We do not vouch for the truthfulness of the foregoing state ment, but it is rumor current, more or less, in political circles in this cltv.

TnE Texas Senatorial fight is rather complex. With Reagan, Gull person, Mills, Lanham and Bailey in the field it looks hard to pick the winner. If the State intends to send to the Senate one who has statesman like abilities, then the fight would be between Reagan and Lanham, Pap Reagan is getting old, while Judge Lanham is in the prime of intellectual man. hood. There is no man in the Texas delegation who is Ladham's equal; as a student of political economy
 nd in the force of philosophical req soning he has few equals in either House of congress. To the knowing ones at Washington It looks as though Lanham is the strongest man. .-NetcS- Letter.
