The great coal strike in the state
that has continued for many weeks
seems at last to have been ''called Off
on terms agreeable to both employers
and employees. At meeting of miners
in Des Moines resolution was adopted
almost unanimously that all mines be
allowed to resume work that will pay
IS cents a ton from now until April 4,
on condition that they will stop off ten
cents on the dollar and turn the same
over to an authorized committee, and
that all men get their work back again.
This practically ends the strike on the
miners terms, as the operators have
agreed to them.

'The monthly report on sisal on the
18th of September, 1895, showed more
favorable tendency. The spot value
was f16 to Ell per tom
The above showed an average of
about $3.50 per ton for perio. Of five
years.
The following is taken from a re-
port on sisal made by the United States
Consul of the Bahamas at the begin
ming of the year 1892:
1T is very low estimate to expect
half ton of fibre per acre, and a
very low estimate to call it worth 800
per ton in the worlds market today"
AS compared with other countries,
it costs much less to clear our land.
1t has cost from $50 to $50 per acre in
many places and yet paid handsome
profits. After clearing, however, there
is but very little expense, as it grows
on land too poor and dry to bring forth
many weeds or trees. Some of the land
here, not covered with lantana, can be
cleared for as little as $40 per acre, as
it would not be necessary to take any
rocks or roots from the land, except
ing the very small place for the plant
Sisal requires about the same time
to bring returns as coffee, but will
thrive on land where coffee trees will
not even live, requires no water, con-
sequently few weeds grow, therefore
wedding is not expensive. 1t is en-
tirly exempt from blight or other di-
seases, which cannot be said of many
other products of these Islands.
The following is from report Of E.
Jerome Stuart, Agent for the BAHIA
maian Government, who was appoint
ed especially to investigate fibres in
regard to their liability to disease.
etc.:
ct has never been known for these
plants to be troubled with any organic
disease. No fungus or insect can ap-
parently damage or affect them; and
in 1888, when the locust devastated the
State of Yucatan, the cattle and birds
died of starvation, and men were on
the eve of despair, the only green liv-
ing plants to be seen were the different
species of agaves, and they are now
looked upon as the salvation of the
State''

IRISH BULLS"

An exchange prints a few OF Sir
Boyle Roche's best: 'Sir," said he to
the Speaker in a certain debate, Il
smell a rat, / see him floating in the
air; but, mark me, shall yet nip him
in the bud" On another occasion he
convulsed the House by observing: II
don't see, Mr.. Speaker, why we should
put ourselves out of the way for pos
terity. What has ever posterity done
for u.s." Being disconnected by the
laughter that greeted this sentiment,
he proceeded to explain: "By poster
ity, sir, do not mean our ancestors,
but those that are to come Immediate
ly after them" In arguing for sus-
pension of the Habeas Corpus Act, he
said: cit would be better, Mr.. Speak
er, to give up not only part, but, II
necessary, even the whole Of our con-
stitution, and preserve the remainder. y
On another occasion: "The best way
Mr.. Speaker, to avoid danger is to
meet it full plump" And on another:
eff this dangerous conspiracy is not
nipped in the bud, you and I and every
member of this House will be looking
at our CORY heads piled on that table, .
pointing to the table. This so con-
vulsed the House that business was
not resumed for considerable time
The following is taken from an old
Irish journal: English Bull.-The
sister island frequently admires and
laughs at Irish bulls, but the follow
ing bull in the Bank Notes Act passed
by the Commons of England equals
any of our own: That the signatures
of the persons employed to sign the
notes shall be impressed by machin-
cry"

that the fibre is stronger and more

In another paragraph he says,

ing no revenue to the State, county or school If what is known as the Smith bill should be passed by the present session of our Legislature and become a law, and the Spring field, Little Rock and Gulf railway company should build their proposed road, a large quantity of this lard would come into their possession and thus become taxable. It would then prove a source of revenue 10 the State and also increase our school fund largely. We have al- ways opposed donating our lands 10 railroads, but when the benefits to accrue to the State are so great as they appear to be in this instance, we can say that we hearli y endorse such donations. Let the interest of the State be properly guarded and rush the bill through England Courier.

Evolution of Women.

Mir. Glceson White discusses in Cas- sells Family Magazine the subjee. of the evolution of women. MT. White appi oaches the matter from an artistic standpoint. There are, he re. marks, several distinct aspects of beau. ty-beauty of form, beauty of colo. beauty of wit and beauty of pathos. But the ideals embodying chem have not been evolved in the above nor i'll any order, nor has any one preserved its en, tire supremacy for long. The matchless head of Aphrodite still appears absolute. ly satisfying to cultured taste today, but when you see it translated to color, as Albert Moore often re-embodied it, in Il is something lost. At the best Mir Whie considers the Greek and Roman types are unemotional and do not awaken more than aesthetic rapture, fer in those days even portraiture aimed to elevate the individual to a type.
 He would have us go back to Reyn. olds in order to find the highest type of the modern ideal Sir Joshua's DOT trait of Laay William Gordon caught the pathos of the Madonna ideal with the intelligence that has become the woman's share. In the Botticelli vir. gins, or the Raphael, a sweet forgive ness is absolute. In the types of Reyn olds and Cainsborough, to this charm is added q sense of justice and distinct substratum of wit and viyacity. In short, ''the lady" has been evolved, not the saint or the chatelaine tho minis tering angel or the bluestoelzing, but the true woman who can be all thesa

It is exceedingly unfortunate for the so-ealled Smith bill, proposing to grant State lands for the con struction of railroads, that it origi- mated in the State Senate and pass ed that body first. A large measure of popular suspicion attaches to any measure on the subject of railroads which emanates from that body Batesyille Guard.

The practical unanimity with which the people all over the State favor the Smith railroad bill shows that they want more railroads more than they want railroad comission. Let us first get the railroads. and if they do not regulate each other by competition then it will be time enough for the Legislature to do so. Hot Springs Neios.
