labor and it is to be regretted that it could not have been more widely published. In seeking to get rid of an evil by legislation little attention must be paid to the wishes of the victims, as they can generally be counted on to oppose that which is for their own good. The difference between q statesman and dcma- gogue is this: The statesman does for the ignorant what they need and the demagogue does for them what they want. For lack of sympathy cooperation on the part of the in- tellectual classes the laborcr often falls victim to the evils of the dem agogHe, who talks bnt never accom- plishes any reform. Unfortunately, we too often find the intellectual classes, and perhaps in nothing is this seen more than in the part to bring ab tut q general introduction of the eight-hour law.

A PESSIMISTIC VIEW.
Suggestions That General Euro
 pean War is Possible.

LONDON, July 15.-The Evening Standard regards the situation in Southeastern Europe as extremely grave, and says there is no doubt that, unless appearances are most deceptive, the hostilities between Turkey and Greece will be renewed. The paper says:
 Perhaps we may be at the be- ginning of a general European war.
 Referring to the broad question of an attempt by Europe to coerce Turkey, the Evening Standard says:
 "So far as England is concerned, public opinion does not favor go- ing to war for the sake of Greece. Perhaps the best way out would be to make compromise with Turkey, for the existing deadlock is slowly but surely ruining Greece. We have before us the terrible pros pect of a European war, and it is not worth running such risk for the mere sake of rehabilitating Greece.

TIE TRADES PARADE.
FORTY FIVE FLOATS ALREADY
 PROMISED FOR TIE EVENT.
The 31st of August Premises to Be a Big Day for Pine Bluff. and Thousands of Visitors
 Will be Here.

The cnterprising members of the Pine BluM Athletic Association. over two hundred of our best citzens in number, are determined not to let our town be outd0ne by aneighbor- ing city in get up and enterprise. The Association, with the assistance of our business men and citizens generally, have decided to make August 3lst a gala day here and will do all in their power 10 induce visitors to come and share our hospitality.
 IL has been arranged te have q grand trades display, and the can wasting committee has already se- cured the promise of forty y-fiye floats, eight more than were in the Little Rock parade on July 5th, and other business men are vet to be heard from,
 In the afternoon q ball game be- tween two of the best clubs in the State will be played at the park.
 At night an entertainment will be given at the opera house. It will be something unique, original and pleasing, in the nature of minstrel athletic comedy.
 The railroads will give reduced rates to the city for this event, and it is believed that many visitors will come here. and every person who does come can beassured of having d good time and of being treated ill a most hospitable manner, for the peo- pie of our city are famous for their hospitality. and on this occasion will exert themselves.
 Our country cousins and our cous- ins from neighboring cities and hamlets will be extended the right hand of fellowship aud made to feel their welcome. We have q pretty little town, and are proud of it and its citizens will take pleasure in showing it and entertaining our guests on this occasion.
 This Trades Parade is simply a fore-runner of the grand fair which is to take place here this fall, and we want visitors to learn the way to our hearts and our town, so that they will return again in the fall and see the wonderful products of the most fertile and prosperous county in the grand old State of Arkansas.

Friday afternoon the members of the Pine Bluff Gun Club partici- pated in another of those interest. ing practice shoots, which have become so popular with our sports men, and the rapid firing of the guns at the grounds near the water works could plainly be heard in the West End. Some Of the aboys' are doing famously, and fl they hold their nerve at the biz shoot to take place here this week, they will capture first money in number of events. The following is the score made Friday afternoon out of a possible 30:

THE NEW YORK SUN THINKS CONTRACTORS SHOULD RE ALLOWED TO ROB THE
 GOVERNMENT.
What Uncle Dana, Editorially, Says of the Governments Proposition to Make Its
 Own Armor.

The rejection by the Senate ot the proposition to allow a maximum of $425 per ton for the armor of the battleships Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin. threatens Q long delay in building these vessels.
 The price of $500 per ton which the Senate has substituted is pre- posterous, and it is certain that if it is adhered to, through tte con currence of the House, the Govern neut will have to build an armor plant of it's own Indeed, the Navy Department is authorized, by the Senatcs vote, to obtain proposals for establishing such plant, and to report thereon at the next session of Congress. Under that action there would be further delay, doubtless, of at least six months, be- fore beginning to build the plant. The smallest limit of time estimated for completing an armor plant is a year, and after that would come the time: required for manufacturing the armor Meanwhile heavy pen altes would be incurred by the Gov ernment for delaying the builders of the hulls, who are under their con tracts, to install the plates.
 Assuming that the navy Depart ment would at once procure some modification of the original contract so as to lessen the prospective losses of the builders and the governments liability for damages, yet even with this forewarning and revision, there would, no doubt, be large penalties. The Government would also have to pay for it's new plant. Although it would save the cost of the ground, and it's own salaried officers could furnishing the planning and the su provisions, yet the lowest estimate, we think, of the cost Of such a plant has been about $1 300, 900, and then comes the expense of maintenance. At best, with everything working perfectly, within the limits of cost hoped for, these three ships would certainly be delayed for years be- yond the time now stipulated for their completion.
 On the other hand, the price of S425 a ton, said to be the lowest which the Bethlehem and Carnegie companies will accept, is a vast re- duction from anything hitherto paid by us for armor Secretary Herbert caused very elaborate in- vestigation to be made last year, by experts, of the cost of manufactur- ing armor. and he concluded that the Government ought to be willing to pay $4O0 ton for it. These com panies had built plants costing far mere than q new plant would cost

the Government They had to fur nish the sround and the skilled su- pervision, and they had to gc
 through expensive eXperiments in a
 then uuuied industry They still live along fron session to session oi Congress, never knowing whether their plant is to be open or shut, in the near future. Indeed, the last session ordered no new battieships or vessels requiring amor. Gov ernments are tue only customers of the companies in this part of their business. and while they have done some creditable work fer European navies, it has been under the hard terms exacted by high wages for la Dor hese and by the three thousand miles Of oeeat freight for their pro duets. Our own Government must of necessity De their chef buyer, or the armor plant wiil close.
 It was found that in one item the first calculation of Secretary Her bert was less favorable to the com panies than il shouid have been; ;and in short, on reconsidering the mat ter, Secretary Long has recon mended q maximum of Sl25, which, it is understood, the two companies will accept. In the last Congress the House adopted the a'l00 limit
 which then seemed fair, tut yeielded to the Senate's importunities9 for $300, with the result that neither company made bid. It is, there fore, sheer folly 10 expect the ae- ccptanee Of $300
 We have paid for armor Eof tho sort now required something like $575 per ton. A reduction to S426 would mean q saving of about $400. 000 on each ship, or $1, 200, 000 on the three. We may admit that re- ductions as noteworthy have been effected in the cost of hulls and ma chinery, but it seems wise to be satisfied with saving $1,200, 600 and not to launch out into Government armor-making with the absolute certainty, even should all else go well of long delays on these needed ship.

The Greenyille (Tenn.) Democrat says: Every issue Of this paper is worth two dollars, but you can get it hundred years for Sl00. We print all the news you want to see and some that you don't want to see. Old maids cry for it; the law yers lie for it, and the wise folks sign for it. Buy it and try it That ought to prove a fetching appeal.

DICKINSON TO PLAY.
The Amateur Champions Will Make
 Descent on Pine Bluff.

The crack amateur base ball aggre- gation of the state, the Dckinsons of this city, will don their cosy. new uniforms when they gambol on the diamond at Pine Bluff soon. The last time the boys went down on the Arkansas they were made to feel quite diminutive-a sensation engen- dered from too close sympathy with the score card. They hope to do better this time. and are itching to inieiate their new suits in series Of victories. They have been prac- tieing hard for the games, and are in much better form than they were when they went down before.
