entious convictions, and according to his belief, for the best interests of the city. He has always voted for compromising the Water & Light claim because Judge Caldwell and other iurists have held that if the city uses the water the city must pay for it, and because he believed it was better to compromise the claim and protect the city from fire and unprecedented insurance rates than to leave the city entirely un- protected from the ravages of fire and the grasping greed of the in surance monopoly in this State. These are serious questions and the voters of Pine Bluff would do well to ponder over them before casting their votes on April 5.

The 'sKlcker" in Action Again

The 'sKlcker" 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 Digest of the Ordinances of Pine Bluff. This was done, and the contract was awarded. in April, 1896, to the Press Ed l.. This work which was the largest printing contract ever executed in this city was not completed until AprH. 1897, and the bill, including extras not stipulated in the contract, was ap. proved by the Board of Public Af- fairs and the Finance Committee of the Council and allowed by the City Council May 3d, 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 year earlier it would have saved the city a 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-which 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 "GRAPHIon or "ConnerciaE shared in the profits on printing done by the PresS-Eagze 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- vertising 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- cates, and endeavoring, by innuen- do, to mislead the public into the be- lief that it's contemporaries entered into conspiracy to defraud the city, when they agreed among them selves that it should pay them at the same rate, in tjme aoarraats, that they charge other customers fn casb, for the same service?
 The motive that actuates the young men who are posing in the role of self-appoirted wauch-dogs of the city's treasury is apparent to all they are disgruntled because they were outwitted at their own game. If the Press Eag7e sees fit to do the citys 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 cunningly yet unsuccessfully, to se- cure.
