ANARCHISM.

ANARCHlSM.
The Savannah Ca, News" makes a
v ry lame and weak defence for the
crime Of lynching in the South. 1t claims
ia part, that the people of that benight-
ed section have to a great extent lcst
confidence in the ability OF the courts to
mete out prompt and proper punishment
for crimes of violence. If this accusation
had been made by Northern paper
the entire press South of Mason ar d
Dixons line would have been teeming
with indignation and rage. II such Q
state of affairs, az claim I'D really exists,
it is b ,ut time the matter was properly
presented to the federal authorities at
Washington for investigation.
1t might lead to the Reinstatement
of government troops and the enforce =
ment by the bayonet of martial law.
This ia formal acknowledgement by a
representative bourbon newspaper that
a state of anarchy exists in the S.uth;
that the courts fail in their purpose to
deal fairly with the people, and that
terror, riot and b'ood-shed reigns SUI
preme. Can that ''jingo" element in
congress from the South be ignorant OF
these facts or do they close their eyes to
them in their desperate effort to free
poor Cuba? They bewail the savage
butcheries Of Abdul Hsmid and the red.

The recent dedication OF the Logan
monument in chicago was particip ated
in by many Thousands of the great
volunteer generals friends. They were
there because the had loved the g ,neral
many were there because they had
fought under his directions. All went
there out of respect to the memory OF
one OF the great characters of the civil
war, The Logan m onu,nent does credit
to Chicago and the nation. The people
are wearying, however,, ofthe efforts
that are being made on such occasions
t. bring into prominence people who are
entitled to no prominence. The display
OF the whole Logan family, the occupy
ing of columns and even pages of great
papers to speak of them, of individuals
who have never done anything out ofthe
common and who are in point of fact of
very little account, is bad custom. II
Logan was great as soldier and states
man it is no sig that his children and
grand children are or ever will be.
Certainly they are not at the present
tine. Why, then, parade them to the
extent of taking the attention of vast
proportion of the public to living people
OF little moment instead of centering
thong lts and hears upon the mig lty
dead.

Mayor D. C. Bell, eTer having the interests and welfare of Pine Bluff at heart, has been making every ef- for this summer 10 induce some electric light company to come here in order that our citizens might be relieved of the monopolistlc concern now furnishing light for our people. He now has bona fide proposition from company of capitalists to put In an electric street car line of suin- cient length to answer the needs of the people; provided they can get tho contract for lighting the city.
 The proposition, briefly stated, is thls: The gentlemen will put in an electric plant here and operate an electric street car system, requiring an outlay of $l00. GOO or more. if tho people af Pine Bluff will subscribe for $l5.dd0 of the capital stock,
 The gentlemen representing thIs company mean business. They have Il dozen electric light plants and street car systems in successful oper- atioh in different parts of the United States. Mr. Ben sent them n state meHt of the rates now paid for light ing the city. The gentlemen could not understand the enormous and exarbitaht rates charged, unless 1t be q high pricp paid for coal. and only q limited number of lights re- quired in tho city.

The special was given the Fair Assocta- ton for q nominal consideration, and it vas placed under the manage ment of Superintendent Westbrook. MasterMeehanic Galbraith furnished his private ear. and the train was pulled by one of the finest engineers on the road. All trains were side. tracked for the special, and Train master Richards accompanied the train to give orders and prevent ae- eidents. The special stopped at all stations and remained until the par. ty not through their work and then proceeded to the next stqton. In this manner the party was enabled to do great deal of work in a short period Of time.

the various saw mills along the route were personally solicited to close down their mills on the Cotton Belt excursion days ttfIshsgjfl from Camden and the 2lst frMl shreVe- port and many promised to com. ply herewith.
 After spending the first day in thls manner, and after hard and earn. est days work, Shreveport was reached at o'clock. The Lonislan- ians received their Arkansas neigh bors with true Southern hospitality, and that night and the next morn Ing many of the leading citizens of the best city of Louisiana called at the hotel or the special train to vel come and extend greetings to the Arkansas Travellers.
 The special left Shreveport at II o'clock Wednesday morning and made straight run to Texarkana. arriving at the "Gate City at 5:30 o'clock D. III. The bill posters and Superintendent Westbrook rapidly covered the city, while the other members of the party scattered out over the town to talk Fair.
 It was not long, however. until Mayor Cook. Hon. Paul Jones and other citizens of Texarkana. gathered at the special to welcome their neigh bors, but time was fleetIng and at 7o'clock the train pulled out for Mug Relia. This place was reached be- fore daylight, but the sun had hardly ''pnrpled OCT the Eastern sky" be- fore the party was out and at work. The bill posters covered this town as they had others, while the other members of the party made house to house canvass among the busi- ness houses of the town. In the meantime, Miles Donaldson's string band. which accompanied the special gathered at tho hotel and tiiscoursed the sweetest music, which brought together a large assemblage of natives to listen to the music and hear about the Fair.
 At 10 o'clock the special pulled out from Magnolia and made n straight run to Camden, reaching the Queen City of the Ouacbita" at noohs Here the party remained untIl o'clock. working as at the other points. Camden was thoroughly canvassed, and the attendance from this point pro o.nIses to be immense.
 Leaving Camden at I o'clock the special made q straight run for Pine Bluff, making only three stops, and arriving here at 6 o'clock. The en- tire party returned delighted. with. ont accident or mishap to mar the pleasure or success of the trip, and we are no prophet fl the gate receipts do not unmistakably show, during Fair week, the good work accom- pltshed by the special.
