SUGAR SCHEDULE DENOUNCED.

Ex-Senator Ingalls, comes to the front once more by denouncing the sugar schedule and its fram- CTS in the following vigorous and terse language:
 From the republican point of view it would be better that the tariff bill should fall than the senate sugar schedule should stand. It is the most brazen and audaclous hold-up of the century. 1t has no excuse except the unsuitable greed and rapacity of the most shameless squad of plund that ever escaped the penitentiary. Ordinary marauders are content to rob bank or swindle community. These brigands propose to pillage the nation and to compel congress to become their accomplices. The trust schedule will defy competition, aunihilate the beet sugar industry and add to the op- pressive burdens of every citizen of the United States. for the avowed purpose of swelling the already inordinate gains of a remorseless. monopoly. These are the performances that ex- plain popu.ism and which, if not re- strained, will make anarchy possible. !"
The Mena weekly star., 1897-06-09
TO TEST BY POPULAR VOTE.

Senator Pettigrew recently in troduced a bill into the United States senate to provide for pop ular vote at the congressional election Tn 1898 on the following questions:
 Shall congress at once enact a law providing for the immediate free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of Is to 1?
 ''Shall the constitution of the United States be so amended as to provide for the election of United States senators and of the president and vice president by direct vote of the people?"
 This is good proposition and we hope it will pass and the vote be taken. In popular govern ment like this, questions of such vital import should be submitted to the people so they can give ex- pression regardless of party af- tiliations.

TO OUR NEW FRIENDS.

This issue of the Star will 20 into the homes of many wthio, per haps, have never seen it before, having been subscribers to the New Era, and it will glve us pleasure to call them our friends. Although comparative strangers to many of these people we feel that with our experience in news paper work, together with what we claim as our knowledge of the needs and aspirations of the busi- ness and productive classes, we can make a paper that will please all of our readers and make them friends of the Star.
 Our highest aim shall be to make the Star a factor Tn advanc- ing the best interests, industrially and morally, of Mena, Polk county and the state of Arkansas, and at the same time cause it to shine as one bright ray in the great frma- ment of light and thought that shape the destinies of our great nation.
 To these ends we ask the hearty cooperation of all the people and particularly those who receive and read the Star.

MONEY IN STRAWBERRIES.

The following from the Car thage (Mo.) Press will prove Tn. teresting to those of our people who arc contemplating planting strawberries for market
 'srhe present season has demon strated beyond doubt that there is money in awberries John Hill. who lives southeast of town in the neighborhood of Knights Station, has four acre tract which has already netted him $400 this season. County Collector c. A. Emry also has a patch of less than two acres from which was gathered in one day sevcnty-two crates of berries.
 Plants are forming nicely now on beds set last spring and many will soon be large enough to transplant. If the weather re- mains favorable they can be set out in few weeks and if success fully transplanted last of June or in July they will bear good half crop next year. The Press also says:
 The straw berry business is bring ing lots of money into Jasper county now. A bank ln this city cashed ss3 drafts day before yesterday. They aggregated S4, ,O00. This business for a single day gives some idea of the way the big red strawberry is bring ing in cash"

FORGING TO THE FRONT.

The accompanying illustration shows
the method which Prof Verrin adopted
to take tie observations which have re-
suited In securing SO many interesting
facts. These Investigations developed
more strongly than most of US realize
how thoroughly nature strives to protect
the smaller fish from the depredations
of their pig and cannibslistic brethren.
In every instance where these changes
of color were noted, 1T was asoertained
that they were for the purpose Of enab-
ling the fish to render itself almost in
visible to even the keen-eyed big brother
who sought him for an evening, MONDAY
or morning meal. Each fish has its pc
alike. That is why it is that the color
ings of the fish differ so greatly.
Even at the bottom Of the sea there is
"a considerable difference between night
and day. What may be bright and
sparkling at certain periods during the
twenty four hours undergoes consider
able change at another time. The fish
that linger among certain kinds OF
grow b at the oceans bottom, the bot
tom of the lake or river, would be easily
observable oftentimes at night If nature
had not so made them that they could
change color with their surroundings. 1t
all seems very wonderful, and yet the
more ons investigates the more be sees
