Bank of France.

Not 8 week ago the Bank of France refused to redeem it's notes in gold, and refused to sell gold at a premium. Not a half week ago the Secretary of the United States Treasury urged the people of the country to insist on keeping the nations credit as inviolate as is kept the credit of France and Ger many.
 But the Secretary of the Treasury urged the people of this country to insists on m aintaining the "endless chain" by redeeming greenbacks in gold and thus encouraging money spectators to make attacks on the national credit France does nothing of the kind. Neither does Germany, and yet these countries are held up by American fnanciers as models of sound credit.
 In discussing the recent action of the Bank of France, 8 New York banker says: "France and Ger many are often referred to as gold standard countries. They are really however, on bimetallic basis, for they redeem their notes in gold or in silver, as they please, and are very sure to redeem them in silver if it is thought that gold is desired for export. The United States and England are the only real gold stan. dard countries. Both redeem their notes in gold or. demand"
 It is certainly dislngenuous for

THE governmen has issued or ders to the troops to acook your food and boil your drinking water, , to render the American army im- mune from typhoid and yellow fever, according to the discovery of Prof Edward Kleeks, of Rush Medi- cal College, who claims that the fever germs are in unwholesome food and impure drinking water. The professors theory is that the great mortality among Spanish sol- diers in Cuba from yellow fever is due to the fact that the Spaniards have eaten and drunk cooked and uncooked food and water indis- criminately. In the event of war between this country and Spain, it is given out that the American troops sent to Cuba would be forced to depend on food canned in the United States, and that water for the army would be boiled and cooled for the Soldiers to drink. We do not know how eficacious Prof. KIeck's theory will be for the pre- vention of yellow fever, but we do know, and the writer is in po- sition to attest, after several years of experience, that boiled water is almost a certain preventative of typhoid fever, and there is evidently a close relationship between typhoid and yellow fever.

These are serious questions and the voters of Pine Bluff would do well to ponder over them before casting their votes on April 5.

 There is no more necessity for the aendless chain" in the United States than there is in France and Germany. It is simply a creation of the gold clique n order that it may be used as an argument to de- stroy the greenbacks.-Chieago Dispatch.

MIR. M. s. STYvEsANr, of St. Louis, suggests that instead of this nation building big and expensive battleships, it would be cheaper to build monitors for the protection of our seacoast, and leave our cruisers, in the event of war, to infict all the damage they can to au enemy. Ac- cording to Mir. Styvesant, fortified coasts with a few monitors to pro- tect our harbors, would make this nation impregnable to foreign at tack, while our fleet cruisers could destroy the commerce of an enemy

and cause it to sue for peace A monitor costs $1, 300, 900, fully equip ped, and can be built in a year, says Mr. Styvesant, while a battleship costs $5,0O0, ,O0O and requires three years to build and is then out of date when completed. The GRAPHIC does not pretend to be an expert or an authority on naval affairs, but Mr. Styvesant's suggestions seem to us to be very plausible and prac- ticable. The battIeship is a very expensive thing to have, and when one can be "blown up in a night, Fits efficiency in naval warfare is not be- yond question.

The "Klckero in Action Again

 The "Klcker" in Action Again.
 About the close of the first year of ex-Mayor Goldsmith's admins tration. the City Council instructed the Board of public affairs to adver- tise for bids for printing ard bind ing a Digest of the Ordinances of Pine Bluff. This was done, and the contract was awarded, in Apr1, 1896, to the Press Eoyle This work which was the largest printing contract ever executed in this city was not completed until Aprd. 1897, and the bill, including extras not stipulated in the contract, was ap. proved by the Board of Public Ali fairs and the Finance Committee of the Council and allowed by the City Council May Sd, 1897. This work was separate and distinct from the printing done under yearly contract for the city, which was then execut- de by the CommerciaL No ore is better acquainted with these facts than at least one of the young men connected with the Chronic Kicker, , local Sunday paper which has been devoting nearly all it's editorial space for some weeks past to an effort to prove that had it been in existence 9 year earlier it would have saved the city very large amount of money on it's printing bills-$52725, as the "Kicker" editors figure it out. We do not know by what peculiar men, tai processes the young men arrive at this result; but we do know that their efforts to couple the printing of the City Digest-whieh is work done at intervals of five or ten years apart-with the regular printing and advertising of the city, is will- fully and premeditatedly intended to deceive, and that the insinuation from the same source, that either the "GRAPHIo' or "ConanaerctaJn shared in the profits on printing done by the Press -E'agle for the city under an agreement made last June to maintain legal rates for legal ad- vertising, is unqualifedly false. They were benefited to the extent of getting legal rates for all ad- yertising done by them for the city after that agreement became effect i've, and if the "Kicker's" young men know of any further benefit they have received, why do they not make the statement direct, that it may be properly met, instead of whining about "trusts" and "syndi- eates, and endeavoring, by innuen- do, to mislead the public into the be-, lief that its contemporaries entered into conspiracy to defraud the city, when they agreed among them selves that it should pay them at the same rate, in time aoarYants, that they charge other customers ia cash, for the same service?
 The motive that actuates the young men who are posing in the role of self-appoir ted watch-dogs of the city's treasuryis apparent to all they are disgruntled because they were outwitted at their own game. If the Press Eagle sees fit to do the city's printing at loss, as it did in years past, it Is no concern of the "Kickers, who deserve and will get but little sympathy from anyone in continuing their reflections upon their contemporaries and the city's officials, in connection with the pub lie printing, which they striyed so cunningIy yet unsuccessfulIy, to se- cure -P Press Eagle.

REPUBLICANS WITH KNIVES.
Which They Are vigorously Using
Out in Stearns County.


ST. CLOUD, Nov. 1.-(Special.) 1.-The
campaign policy of the Republicans Of
Stearns county has finally been decid-
ed, as has been learned from good au-
thority, and that policy is the support
of Eustis for governor, Page Morris for
congress, Henry Keller for state sena-
tor and Nicholas Weber for sheriff
Weber, 1t is claimed, was brought out
to run principally in the interests Of
Morris, as trading stock, and the COM
bination known as the big Four
who have heretofore run the Republican
party In Stearns county, are pushing
him along The big Four" strength.
however, has been materially weakened
by the postoff1ce fight in ST. Cloud, in
which H. G. Wire, one of the combine,
received the appointment. This
brought on internal strife, and, as a
consequence, Congressman Morris is
not receiving the support which he did
two years ago from st. Cloud Republic
ans. The Republican cry then was
anything to beat Towne. This year
some of these same men are saying,
Anything to beat Norris
Senator Keller has in Valentine BatZ
of Holdingford, an able opponent. Mr.
Batz is a successful business man, a
never gives up. From those in touch
with the situation it would seem as II
Mr. Keller was doomed to defeat. Mr.
Eustis will not receive the support thai
was given Gov. Clough two years ago.
