LOOK TO YOUR INTERESTS.


The war is absorbing all public in
terest and politics has become Sec
ondary consideration. Our people
should not lose sight of the fact that
we must elect this year our State and
county officers, and it is to their per-
sonal interest that proper men should
fill these positions. We therefore ad-
wise that they do not become indif-
ferent to their political duties, and
set about to fill their State and coun-
tl offices with the very best material; !;
it is in this way that the government
can be successfully run in the inter
ests of the people, bat if the people
do not take an interest in public af-
fairs, political sharpers will take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity and con-
vert the government to their own m
terests, which often breeds corrup-
ton, aud once in possession it is
with the greatest difficulty they can
be dislodged Let US all, from now
on, see to it that we select our State
and county officers without regard to
faction, but with sole regard to
merit and qualification. No mau has
a right to appeal to factionalism at
this time, because there are 10 issues
upon which the Democracy is di-
vided. The causes which resulted in
factional division no longer exist, and
we are today reunited party. The
man who would now attempt to
arouse factional spirit is not the
man entitled to political prefermeut,
for he is evidently indifferent 10 the
peoples welfare; 1t is his personal
aggrandizement he is advancing.
There is 10 man who was more Of a
factional partisan than US, but that
was at a time when We saw such a
course was necessary; the conditions
at that time made it necessary in or
der that the people could shake them
selves loose from a condition which
was brought about by their own in
difference, and thus gave political
carbuncles chance to fasten them
selves on the sbip Of State. The
work OF clearing off these carbuncles
has been accomplished, and it should
be an object lesson to Us not to again
allow ourselves to getin that deplora-
ble fix.
The way to prevent it is for every
citizen taxpayer to see to it that our
best qualified men are placed in pub
lie positions; ii we do this the public
service will be bettered and our taxes
decreased.

WHILE POSITIONS HOLD OUT WAR
CONTINUES.

There are indications that lead US
to believe Spain is anxious to sue for
peace. Her treasury is too low to
carry on the war in anything like on
equality with the United States and
we believe she stands ready to con-
cetle to any reasonable demard cur
government may make. On the other
hand Uncle Sam has got a taste of
Spanish blood and he is inclined TO
push the war OF, and instead OF be-
ing satisfied with what the war was
first supposed to have started about
the freedom of Cuba-Uncle Sam
seems inclined to take unto himself ali
Of the Spauish-American possessions.
The politicians viii not let our gov
ernment stop fighting now if it wants
to, because it is too good field to
pay off political debts. Every man
with pull at headquarters finds soft
berths and bomb-proofs for his
friends. The war is a great scheme
for politicians, and besides if the war
can be prolonged into the next Presi-
deutial campaign the party in power
will OF course be retained, as DO peo-
pie would make a change while the
country is at war.
Then there is another class who
would strain every nerve to keep the
war going-the manufacturers and
miners of the North; look at the mil
lions Of money being spent for every
thing not to be obtained in tie South
coal, iron, uniforms, ammunition,
guns, accouterments and millions of
dollars worth of other things. These
men have found the war to be per-
feet hlondyke and they will have it
continued as long as possible, it mat
ters not how much the people object
nor how many concessions Spain, al
ready whipped, may offer to make
It is our prediction that the war with
Spain will continue until several
other powers combine and call the
United States to a halt.

When the soldiers were leaving

w AR.

The past week has been one Of eX-
pec!ancy and the public mind was
kept on strain by the wild rumors
about bombardments, destruction of
Spanish vessels ana the landing of
troops on Cuba. The press dis
patches, had they been true, the war
would by now have been ended, if
from no other cause than the COM
plete route of the enemy. Notwith-
standing the reported weakness Of
Spain and the oft repeated American
victories with scarcely no resistance
from the Spanish forces, United States
las not let up in its preparations in
both army and navy. The land fore.
es are being modified to be ready to
80 either to Porto Rica, Manila, the
PHILIPPINES or to Cuba.
The most important happening of
the past week was the daredevil
bravery Of Lieutenant Hobson, who
took charge of the Collier NIerrimac
with seven men aud amid storm of
shell from the shore batteries, entered
the mouth of the channel at Santiago
de Cuba harbor, blew mp his ship
with torpedo and sunk her so as 10
obsruct 'he passage in or out of the
harbor. This was done to complete
ly bottle up Ceryera with his squad
ron who is supposed to he hidden be-
hiud the hillsiu that har5or. Hobson
and his men swan ashore and were
captured, but what prevented them
from destroying their lives with the
ship is one of those mysterious hap
penings no one can account for He
and his brave comrades are safe and
they have, by this one act, written
their names on the pages Of fame
Yesterdays dispatches reported
the sinking of the Spanish torpedo
boat Terror,and the landing OF $4,000
American soldiers near Santiago; the
report is not officially confirmed and
is not believed. Tie ground for the
report is that one of our battleships
saw moving object close in shore
and ired upon it, Immediately threw
its searchlight on to see the result of
the shot, nut there was nothing in
sight, and many thini it was dark
ened train passing.
The priacipal fighting going on
now is between the Army contractors,
who are rushing pell-mell over each
other to get their fingers into the ap-
preparation pie.
This mornings dispatches say that
Sampson anb Scilley silenced the
forts at Santiago and knocked the
earthworks TO pieces without any III
jury TO the American fleet. 1hey
also fired upon the village of Aqua
dores where 500 Americans were
landed and they drove the Spaniards
from their works.
Tie Spaniards claim victory and
contend that the Americans were
badly worsted and were forced to
withdraw from the combat. Major
J. Gary Evans has been assigned to
the command of General Fitzhugh
Lee.

member. In an exhaustive report sub mitted in September, 1897, this board recommended the esta blishing of addi- tional concrete docks at the Boston, New York, Norfolk and Mare Island navy yards. and of building similar docks at Yerba Buena island and San Pedro, on the Pacific coast; also three steel floating docks at Newport News, New Orleans and Tortugas respectively, and dock and fresh water basin at New London, Conn.
 All these proposed new docks would be of a capacity to take the largest yes sells now afloat or likely to be built hereafter They would all be completed in two years, at an estimated cost not exceeding $10,o00,0o0.
 It will carry an idea of our present need of dry docks to mention the fact that with the addition of all the docks proposed by the board we would have for naval purposes on our entire coast line but one more dock than Great Britain has in one of her navy yards that of Portsmouth.
 Of the Il naval docks, such as they are, four are of granite, one of wood and masonry combined and six of wood. To compare this array with the complete and permanent equipment of some of the other maritime nations of the earth will be instructive.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-10-16

Great Britain, besides the many pri- vate docks available for her naval use, has 66 naval dry docks. Of these 24 are 30 feet or more in depth and can dock the largest ship afoat or any ship that it can reasonably be expected will be built. Of these docks, 43 of which are in the United Kingdom and 23 in it's distant possessions, all are built of stone, concrete or brick, except two floating docks, one of iron, the other of wood.
 France has 43 naval dry docks, IS of which have a draft of 30 feet or more. All are of masonry except four floating docks, three of which are for torpedo craft.
 Italy has 13 naval dry docks, six of which are 30 feet or more in depth. Three of the docks are floating ones; the others are built of stone.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-10-16

a battleship of 15,ooo tons displace- ment.
 With these requirements in mind let us see how the eight naval stations which we possess, with their ii dry docks, meet the needs of the situation:
 At the navy yard at Portsmouth, N. H., is a wooden dock, of obsolete pat tern, with an actual lifting capacity of 1,500 tons, unsuitable for the docking of any naval vessel larger than dis patch boat. The yard and dock are on a river with strong tidal currents and tortuous channel, and are exposed to attack from sea.
 At Boston navy yard are all the requisites for the site of dry dock. Here is a stone graying dock, $50 feet long with a depth of 24 feet 19 inches at mean high water, available for dock ing gunboats and the very smallest of our cruisers.
 At the New York navy yard are three docks, one stone graYiHg dock of 330 feet available length, 66 feet width, and 25 feet 9 inches depth over sill. The other two are timber docks, one 451 feet in available length, 52 feet wide at sill and 25 feet six inches deep over sill; the other, 615 feet in avail able length, Fl feet 7M inches wide at sill, and 2S feet deep over sill. It is this last named dock which to-day is the sole dependence for getting our battle ships and armored cruisers into shape after the recent war. The situation of the New York navy yard complies with every requisite for navy yard site.
 At the Philadelphia G.eague Island) navy yard is a timber dock 451 feet long with a depth over sill of 25 feet 0 inches. In the 90-mile reach of Della ware river and bay which connect it with the open sea but 26 feet of water can be carried at high tide through dredged and tidal channels, and there is obstruction in the winter from lee. While Philadelphia is an admirable site for the building of naval ships, its ap- proaeh is too difficult for prompt re- pair to injured vessels. Moreover in war both approach and ingress could be readily closed by an enemy with mines placed below any of its defenses. l Newport News and Norfolk may be 1 considered together as a.nayal. station.
