JONES AND THE TRUST

The Gonlmerci4l of yesterday goes into a 'conniption fito because the GRAPHIC, in a recent issue, ex- pressed the regret that Senator James K. Jones had become inter- ested and connected with a trust, and it quotes the following excerpts from the GRAPHIos article:
 tThe Senate of the United States now stands openly characterized by the world as a nest, where brood of schemes are constantly matched out, fed upon public pap until able to get out and feast on the masses.
 s'Until lately, Arkansas has kept herself away from the espionage of such a charge, even of such a sus- picion, but alas now Jomes K. Jones is mixed up with cotton packing combine.
 
 There is one thing certainly true, Senator Jones may have helped his pocket, but he has not by his con- nection with this combine added any new luster to his great reputa- tion. We only fear he has dimmed it."
 For the article the GRAPHIC has nothing to apologize. The present editor of the GRAPHIC is an ardent admirer of James K. Jones; believes that he is great and an honest man, and as an individual, we feel proud that Senator Jones represents the State of Arkansas.
 The Commercial attempts to make itappear that the GRApHIes article charges Senator Jones with dishon esty, and says:
 ssIf the GRAPHIC has any evidence that Senstor Jones has filled, or is filling, his pockets by any dishonest methods it is due to the people that the facts should be stated in plain EnglisL.
 The GRAPHIC is never 'smealy mouthed" on any question or issue. It's language is always plain, out spoken and bold. It never takes both sides of an issue, or prints an article that can be read two ways q Ia the Commercial
 There was not a line, word or sen tence in the GRApHIo's article which can be construed as charging James K. Jones with dishonesty, further than that he has allowed him. self to become connected with gi- gantic trust, and trusts are un- Democratic, and never very honest, no matter how pure and incorrup- table the individuals Of that trust may be.
 We again assert, "that we are sorry that Senator Jones has be- come interested in a trust, and that while it may help to fill his pocket, it will add no luster to his great reputation"
 The writer for the Commercial concludes his eulogy on Senator Jones and criticism of the GRAPHIC
 
 as follows:
 Arkansas has no truer nor abler son than James K. Jones and his place in the affections Of the people, won by lifetime of faithful service. is far too high to be reached by the enyious shafts of the immature young persons who sometimes play at the editing rural newspapers.
 Has the gentleman who con tributed the article to the tom- mercial forgotten how savagely the Commercial fought the nomina- tion of James K. Jones for the ex- alted position of Senator from Arkarsas2 He makes the Commer- cial speak language that it's real editor Major chas. C. Newman would not approve, yet words which the immature young person in

Dodger seemed to eat mora slowly than usual. and Nettie watched doiefully.
 Finally hunger got the better of her honesty, and she parked sharply three short barks. Dodger left his plate and sprang to the window, looking exeitedly up and down the road.

A RUSH TO GUIANA,
A Californian's Letter Drew Crowas
to the Gold-Fields.

Owing TO the unsettled state of affairs
in Venezuela, | departed for British
Guiana, where life and property were
secure. On arriving at Georgetown,
the beautiful capital of the colony, with
about sixty thousand inhabitants,
found hundred California miners
stranded and full of Indignation. They
had been lured to Guiana by letter
which had found wide circulation in
the newspapers of the Pacific coast, A
man who had served as cock in Cali
fornia mining camp had gone ~ Guiana,
and had found good position as man
ager of a placer mine on the Barima
river. Elated by his good fortune, he
poets to mis- wife in California. She
showed the letter to the editor Of the
local paper, who published it as an
item of important mining news.
This letter within short time had
the effect of starting groups of men
fIcm the coast miningfields, some of
them even from British Columbia. Ii
was a time of depression in the mining
industries of the Pacific coast, and
great many miners were out of employ
ment. Though the writer of the letter
haG no intention of attracting others TO
his FL Dorado, the CalifornianS who had
assumed that It would be as easy to
prospect for gold in Guiana as in Cali
fornia, regarded him as the author of
their misadventure, and INDUCED freely
in threats of vengeance. No harm came
to him however, because it is not
light matter to violate the laws in Bril-
fish Guiana. AS these stranded miners
had no money they were unable to pros
pect which requires a more or less eX-
pensive outfit; and they could not ind
employment in the diggings for the rea-
son that white men are not employed
on the placers, except as managers; and
in fact nearly all the managers, like
the laborers, are colored men.
The Californians had great difficulty
in getting away; some OF them reached
home as stowaways: a very few obtain
ed situations One Of them was en-
gased for six months as manager OF
a placer mine on the Potaro river,
owned by a syndicate of colored men,
which produced from three hundred to
fe ur hundred ounces of gold month,
He fell i'll just as his time was up.
When he recovered he invested his
savings in an outfit, and started up the
Cuyuni river, but found nothing An
other man secured a situation partly
through the fact of his being a free
mason.
