An Electric Car Line.

Mayor Bell is working with un- remitting energy to secure an elee- trio street car line and a new cleo tric light plant for Pine Bluff. Several times within the past few years the enter pise has been almost within his grasp, only to slip away again. But now he is in cores pondence with certain parties, (whose names are withheld for pru- dential reasons), who promise some thing definite and tangible. Mayor Bell is in receipt of a letter of the 18th inst. which says:
 D. c. Bell. Mayor Pine BluG, Arkansas.
 DEAR SIR:-In reply to your favor of Dec. 18th, vii state that we are ready to accept a franchise for a term of 20 years, to build a first class electric car line and light plant. Your city to agree to make contract for lights for at least $6, 900 per year for the 20 years; car fare to be five cents for each passage. Lights for nrivate houses or stores, the rates for same to be fixed by the City Council If you think it nec- essary for me to come to your city please wire at my expense. We will also agree to deposit $2,000 that work will be commenced within thirty days, and will also give bond for $5, 900 that the work will be com- pleted and running within any time the City Council may name, pro vided said time is within reason.
 Trusting to hear from you again,
 l am yours truly, etc.
 The GRAPHIC earnestly hopes that Mayor Bell will be successful in his efforts, for an electric car line and competing light plant is a crying need at this hour. Our people should lend every possible support to the enterprise should it assume tangible form.

AN APPEAL FOR CHARITY.

The ladies of the United Benevo- lent Association have issued an appeal to our citizens for contribu- tions to their Christmas charity fund. This appeal should be needed by all our citizens The ladies of this organization are doing noble work "a labor of love and true charity and in their efforts they should have the liberal support of all benevolent and charitably inclined people. This Association is doing their work in an organized way, and their charity is not misplaced, ,but is discharged in careful and systematic manner. We are informed that there are over twenty families in this city in need. whose daily wants are supplied by the bounty of this association, and that unlesss the treasury or commis- sary of the association is replenished that there will be twenty families in this city whose Christmas will be very dreary and desolate one. Therefore, every citizen who is in possession of the ordinary comforts of life should generously donate a share of his store to supply the necessities of the poor and needy.
 Anything can be contributed money, food, clothing, dolls, old toys anything that will go into the home of the poor to bring joy. All contributions should be sent to s. Fl. zoller's store by Thursday evening from which place all donotions will be distributed by MT. Zoller and the Ladies Benevolent Association.

TWAS EVER THUS.
Two Toughs Try--tO Do" the Chi
 nese Restaurant.
Adjourned

The Chinese are an afflicted race. They seem to have no land they can call their own. They are not gwen rights due a human people. For eigners go to China, and if they are not treated with reverence gunboats line up before the ports and threat en the nation with destruction. If the Chinese people migrate toanoth- CT country they are made the prey of interruptions and insulting tough and must suffer in silence.
 Only a short while since the Quang Wah restaurant on Third avenue was made the victim of sharpers who received change for a $50 bogus bill.
 Today two ruffians who do not live here took breakfast at the restau- rant and walked out refusing to pay for same. When one of the China men insisted upon payment the two men began an assaultlupon the ce- lestial. Two glasses were broken out of the front door in the scuffle. A policeman appeared on the scene and one of the men was caught. The othersone got away.
 The Chinaman is as much entitled to his rights and pay for his services as any other class of people, and the Police Departmen of Pine Bluff should endeayor to protect these in- offending and unsophistfcated Chi nese from tha outrages and intru- sions of scamps and ruffians.

THE Memphis papers are endeav- bring to hide the obscurity of their own candidate for the United States Senate by belittling the talents and statesmanship of the brilliant Benton McMillin. By the way,
 who is T. P. Hurley, anyway? Who ever heard of him outside of Mem phis until Gov. Taylor picked hlm
 up and placed him in Harris seat2 All the Memphis papers can say for their man is that he is an 'able law yer and a loyal Democrat, Of what does his loyalty" consist? The whole extent of his loyalty to the Democratic party" seems to be one or two speeches delivered in Mem phis during the last campaign. There are thousands of fable law bersn and over eight million 'loyal Democrats" in this country, at any rate, but only one Benton McMillin.

A Large Quantity

Of drugs areimpOrted every year into this country and the frequency with which importatlons are made, makes it possible to buy drugs much fresher and stronger than used to be possible;not all drug gists, however, are anxious to take advantage of this because stale drugs are little cheaper. Some druggists tell you they buy direct in large quantities, and buy enough at one time to last 2 or 3years. Drugs. unlike whisky, does not improve with age. We buy in small quanti- ties, buy often and get them fresh every pop. That is why we say get your regular drugs and prescriptions filled here. You will find it will pay you both physically and financially in the end.
 Yours very respectfully,

THE Memphis Herald is ignorant enough to inquire: "Who is Benton McMilIin, anyway?s A Democratic editor who does not know who Ben ton McMillin is, is too ignorant of Democratic leaders to pretend to leadership within the party, and the offense is an unpardonable one in a Tennesseean. Benton McMillin has been leader in Congress for the past ten years, throughout which time he has borne the brunt of the partys battles, and he is one of the most brilliant men who has held a seat in Congress from the South since the war. h endeavoring to belittle the talents and attachments of Benton McMillin for a seat in the Senate of the United States, in be- half of the obscure lawyer Governor Taylor found in Memphis and intro duced to fame by appointing him to Harris vacant seat in the Senate, the Memphis papers are making themselves ridiculous, hot to say contemptlble.

BRAZILIAN UPRISING.

New York. March 1.-THE Herald's
correspondent in Rio .!anciro, Brazil, says
that martial law has heen declared in the
State of Bahia, where the fanatics under
COnseilherO are engaged III serious re
bellion.
The government has dispatched Gen
Cantuesa to Bahia with large force OF
artillery, the rebels in the last battle with
the Brazilian troops having captured
many of their guns. Within eight days
the government will also send 5000 in
fantry and cavalry reinforcements to Ba.
hia.
The war department has received in
formation to the effect that the fanatics
are now more than $4,000 in number and
that their strength is daily increasing
Business in Bahia is completely paralyz
ed and the government is much agitated
at the prospect especially since the disas'
trOus defeat of the federal troops.
1t is reported that Capt Tamarindo was
not killed in the engagement at Canudos
and that he is now in Monte SantO.
While there is less excitement in Ric
de Janeiro, monarchisrs are still threaten
ed when they appear on the streets, many
of them having taken tfuge in the lega-
tons The newspaper Offices are guard

and bodies of cavalry and mounted police

NEWS FROM ST. PETERSBURG.
New York, March ia special to the
Herald from st. Petersburg, says:
The alarmist rumors as to the probable
ity of European war as the outcome of
the present political mudGle are disregard
ed here owing to assurances received
from Servia and Bulgaria.
These countries will not take advantage
of the present condition of affairs to pro-
woke risings Even if Greece insists in
the face of the powers and Turkey on pre-
cipitating war, Russia, Austria, France
and Germany have distinct understand
ing that every effort will be made to 10.
calize it.
And here the feeling is that such can
be done and that hostilties would moi
last long, as Greece, unaided, could not
stand against the Turks while the latter
have no great desire to carry on a wal
with people who form such large section
of their own population.
England is blamed for not having con
scented last year when ali the powers ex
cept England wanted to blockade Crete
to prevent systematic landing of arms
Now the powers find themselves as a re-
suit of that weakness. face to face with
well armed and excited Christian popu
lation.
The Novoe Vreyma thinks the powers
are not in accord. The other papers are
silent
