The Pine Bluff GRAPHIC feels ag-
grieved because one J. 0, A. Bush,
a Representative from Nevada
county, has been referred to as a
Democratic leader in the Legisla.
ture. The GRAPHIC says Bush put
in considerable time the past few
years bounding, slandering and
abusing Democrats, and that he
was once reprimanded for obtain
ing railroad transportation to at
tend a Press Association meeting
and then using it to attend a Popu.
lite convention. The GRAPHIC
should calm its perturbed soul.
When the State Democratic Com
mittee, at she command of Senator
Jones, called upon Arkansas Dem,
ocrats to sink their prejudices and
vote for John r. Sovereign and other
rare old Pops for Presidential Elec-
tors, and when a Colorado Populist
takes charge of the Oldest Demo
cratic party organ in the State and
proceeds to gravely dish out advice
to lifelong Democrats, why is not a
PopuHte as good as Democrat?
Other and greater surprises are
probably in store for the tender
soul that guides the dest:nies of the

1t seems, sometimes, that there
is an organized effort being made
in this State to turn over the Dem
ocratic party to the Populites, aud
unless a counter effort is made, the
scheme will likely succeed. We
admit that the Democratic party Of
Arkansas is apparently seriously
menaeed at this time by Populism.
1t is an old saying that we eGrst
pity, then endure, then embrace.
We have already pitied Populism,
and in the last campaign we ZEN
dured' it by fusing with it, and it
now seems that some of our Demo-

the leading Democratic organ of the

Poor little Greece has been con

unhappy condition has been brought
about by the selfshness and coward

who gave the Greeiaus no assistance

the superior numbers and army
equipments of Turkey, the Greciaus
we're unable to contend, without

LET US PULL TOGETHER.

Build Up Cur Town and Make 1t the
Most Attractive Place In Arkansas.
For the past week the Board OF
Public Affairs has been having
some much needed work done open
ing up and grading streets in the
southeastern suburbs leading to the
Sulphur Springs road; but, at a
special meeting Of the Council held
last night, a resolution was passed
declaring that the work being done
by the Bord was without authority
aud in excess of its duties, and the
work was ordered to be diseon-
tinued, This resolution, it seems to
US, is decidedly against the better
interest Of the city. At the present
time the only outlet from the city
to the Sulphur Springs road which
is in a passable condition runs
through private property, and much
of this property Chat which is
owned by Col. r. A. Rodgers), is to
be enclosed by a wire fence, after
which it will be almost impossible to
reach the Sulphur Springs road.
The Improvements that were be-
ing made by the Board of Public
Affairs would have cost the city but
a very small sum, as it was being
done by city prisoners.
The streets in the suburbs of the
city should occasionally be worked,
as well as those in front
of the homes of Aldermen,
as the property owners
on them pay taxes for such pur-
pose.
The resolution last night ordering
the work beieg done by the the
Board to be discontinued obtained
the votes of a number of Aldermen
from the fact that they believed that
the property of several members OF
the Board of Publie Affairs would
be benefited and enhanced in value by
the improvements This is not true.
Not a single member of the Board,
SO far as the Graphic can discover,
owns a single foot Of ground along
the streets to have been opened and
graded, but, to the contrary, one
member of the Board, who is pub
lie spirited man, does own property
along the route now taken by the
travelling public to reach the road
to Sulphur Springs, and he was
willing to contribute from his own
purse towards having a street grad
ed through his property to the pub
lie road, could it have been done?
The action of the council, in orr
Judgement, was decidedly wrong,
and we feel sure that every citizen
who will investigate the matter, and
the work which the Board cf Public
Affairs was having done, will agree
with us. The work should have
been completed; it is badly needed,
and we trust that for the coed of
the city, the council will reconsider
its action and order the Board to
complete the work already begun.
