 PINE BLUFF, ARK, OCT. 26. 1858
stand Up For Home.

The State Fair is entirely a Pine Bluff enterprise. Not dollar of the stock is owned outside of Pine Bluff. When the State Fair was conceived is was done on the idea that subscriptions for stock could be secured outside Of this city, but for some cause, 10 outside subscriptions were received.
 The State Far is therefore a home enterprise. Arkansas should have State Fair, but for some reason the movement has not met with the response It deserved in the way of exhibits, etc., or In subscrip- tions for stock from over the State. It's burden is therefore necessarily carried by few progressive c:ti- zens who have devoted their indi. yidual time and money to making of it whatever success they could. It is therefore Pine Bluff institution, and as such is entitled to the patronage and support of every Pine Bluffian. But notwithstand- ing this fact, the people are not turning out and patronizing it even as it deserves. The Fair has now been in progress five days, and the attendance on any one of these days has not been by half what it should have been. Many people have come from abroad and visited the Fair, but the attendance on the part of home people has been very poor Pine Bluff has population pf 15, ,000 If every citizen were to turn out one day it would pay the Expenses of the Fair; If Pine Bluff people refuse to attend it, then the Enterprise can eventuate in nothing but failure. The responsibilitv for the success or failure of the enter Drise therefore resolves upon Pine Blufians.
 The Fair may not be all that may bs- desired. It is not equal to Worlds Fair or the Omaha Exposi- ton, or even to a State Fair ic Illinois or Texas, or even what a State Fair can be made in Arkansas, but it is the nucleus of beginning and is fraught with wonderful pos sibilities for the future if properly patronized and encouraged in it's infancy.
 The present Fair may not be up to the expectations of some; if so, it is due to the fact that their expec- tations were too high in the begin ming. 1t may be shcrt in exhibits in&ome of it's departments; if so, it is Because the material for these ex- hibits are not here or not put on display by those who have them, There may have been errors and lack of thoroughness on the part of the management; if so, this is a lesson from the past to be profted by in the future. Errors there have been in the past and errors there will be in the future as long as the human race is imperfect and falli- able. Perfection is not of this earth; it is Of the world to come.
 Perfection and progress are att tained only by degrees of develop ment. It is the hope of the managers of the Pine Bluff State Fair Association, however humble and Inadequate their beginning, to make the State Fair to Pine Bluff and the State of Arkansas what the Dallas State Fair is to Dallas and to the stats Of Texas. In this effort

let Ine peOple or Fine BluH and the State of Arkansas encourage the management in their laudable efforts. Whatever there may be of present inadequacY or disappoint- ment should be patriotically over looked and an effort made 10 correct it in the future. Ali Pine Bluff peo. pie should know is that it is Pine Bluff enterprise and appeals to them for their encouragement, and it should receive a ready response. Whatever mistakes or short comings, if any, can be relegated to the future for correction. If it is ar enterprise that has for it's object the advancement and pros perity of the city, it should patri- otically receive their patronage.
 The first week of. the Fair, it must be admitted, has been dis couraging and financial y disastrous. The people of Pine Bluff have not turned out and patronized the epter- prise as :hey should. This is probably due to the bad weather and the lncompleteness of the ex hibits in several departments at the beginning But the indications are now for fair weather and the ex- hibits are filling up, especially in Floral Hall, which promises to again be a gem of beauty. Exciting races are scheduled for each day; the ob- loctionable dancing girls have been removed, and the exhibits are filling up ard about as complete as they can be made under the eircum- stances. The most interesting events are ahead. Monday is Railroad and Labor Day; Tuesday is Arkansas Day." and Governor Jones, the State officers, Senator Jones and other distinguished speakers will be present; Wednes- day is Little Rock Day and there will be a large number of visitors from the State Capital; Thursday is Old Soldiers Day, at which time a military drill by the Jefferson Fenc- ibles will constitute a part of the exercises followed by an address by Senator Berry, and Friday is the closing day, which will be absorbed by a grand celebration of the great achievements of the Ameriean Re public. For all of these events the railroads are offering reduced aud excursion rates, and there is no reason why there should rot be a large attendance of Pine Blufians as well as visitors.
 Let the people of Pine Bluff periodically respond to this enter rrise and encourage it for the future. Let our people turn out enmasse and swell the attendance and gate receipts, Let the people of Pine Bluff stand up for home and thei" home enterprises. Only io this way can her Institutions be made successful and the city great.

THE WAR POLICY.

The slight news received by the
Transit, indicate, so far as anything
can be inferred from the few facts
stated, that President Mckinley COM
mences hostile operations by interven-
ing in Cuba. He declares blockade
of the ports on the northern side of the
island, and of one port on the southern
side. This is not direct, but indirect,
war against Spain. Congress at the
latest date, the 23d of April had not
declared open war against Spain. The
Presidents policy is consistent one;
intervene in Cuba, but if Spain fires a
shot, then declare war directly against
her. The news due by steamer which
should arrive this morning, may prob
ably be that the final step has been
taken.
The blockade of the Cuban ports
"must be effective" according to inter
national law; that is, there must be
real danger in any attempt of vessel
to enter or depart from a blockaded
port. There has been much discussion as
to the definition of an effective block
ade." If a vessel successfully runs
blockade, it is still considered effective.
Vessels, during the American Civil war
constantly ran the blockade with car
goes of cotton, and with ammunition.
But many were captured, and the risk
was so great that Great Britain adj
mitted, finally that it was effective.
But an effective blockade requires
many warships, and as they must be
separated in this service, they break up
the great fleets. The American navy
has therefore not only the blockade of
Cuban ports to attend to, but it must
look out for the Spanish fleet at the
same time. How this is now being
done will be interesting to those who
desire to follow the course of contest.

SHORE RIGHTS.

We must again differ from Senator
McCandIess, when he states, regarding
the acquisition of the shore land front
| ing Kapiolani park, that the owners of
the shore front are not disposed to per
nit the people to use the shores for re-
creation or other purposes.
There is more or less trouble in all
countries regarding the use of such
fronts The rights of the parties are
not clearly understood. While under
the old English law the King owns
from high water mark outward, and
the people are accustomed to use it as
a common, the owners of the upland
must be protected from trespass. Be
cause a person has the right to walk
ON the beach, it does not give him the
right to disturb plants, flowers, and
grass growing on land adjoining it.
This is not understood by many and
has caused in the United States, es-
pecially, much annoyance.
The public should, and must have,
ges. All should agree in securing them.
But it is the communistic and hateful
spirit that attempts to injure individ-
ua1s, when they have had forethought,
and obtained shore fronts, when such
property went begging. If the Senator
would secure for the public a marine
plaza, near the city, he would do not
only the poor people much good, but
give pleasure to many rich people who
have not secured shore fronts. and
pleasure to the many people who will
visit these Islands, and will desire to
enjoy our beautiful marine views.

INDUSTRIES IN THE SCHOOLS.

We have, in previous issues, discuss
ed the Importance of educating the
children who attend the public schools,
in the art and science of horticulture.
The United States have made little
progress in this direction. while in
Europe very great progress has been
made. The following extract indicates
what has been done:
Austria, in 1890, had nearly 5000
such school gardens for instruction in
rearing trees, vegetables, and fruits.
I'm France gardening is practically
taught in $4,000 primary and elemen-
tary schools, each of which has a gar
den attached to it, and is under the
care of master capable of imparting
a knowledge of the first principles of
horticulture. No one can be appointed
master of an elementary school unless
qualified to give practical instruction
in cultivating the ordinary products of
the garden.
''In Sweden, as long ago as 1871, 22,-
900 children received instruction in
horticulture and tree-planting, and
each of 2,016 schools had for cultiva-
bAOll d pISCS VI ltl1O ing 1AOLA Ol1C
to twelve acres.
"Still more significant is the recent
establishment of many school gardens
in Southern Russia. In one province,
227 schools out of a total of 504 have
school gardens whose whole area is
283 acres. In 1895, these gardens con-
tanned III 900 fruit trees and $4,000
planted forest trees. In them the
fnanh vino GRAIN
garden, silkworm, and bee culture.
They are supported by small grants of
money from the country and district
councils. In the villages, small orch
ards and kitchen gardens are connect
ed with many primary schools. This
movement has also widely spread over
different provinces of central Russia.
An effort to instruct the school chill
dren in horticulture was begun in
1891, in connection with one of the
Boston grammar schools. A plot Ask
70 was devoted to that purpose. Much
has been done on this limited area
hardly covering the tenth of an acre.
The object lessons are of the highest
value.
The plants furnish not only the best
material for study in elementary
sciehce, but they afford the very best
opportunity for the cultivation of the
habit of observation. The lUdicrous
one-sidedness of our educational sys-
tenn, fails to develop one of the most
important of all habits, that of obser-
walton. Even the universities are
graduating hundreds of men. whose
powers of observation are as imperfect
as neglected education can make them.

AS war furnishes historical material,
we suggest to the teachers in the pub
lie schools that they furnish large
blackboard map of the Island of Cuba,
and upon this map mark down from
time to time, as reliable news is OBJ
tanned, the situation and movements of
the rival navies, so that the children
will understand them. Possibly cheap
maps may soon be published that will
enable each scholar to possess one.

increase the value of our own collec-

ON GEORGETOWN FIELD.
Mondays Gridiron Contest TO He m
Attractive Athletic Event.

Georgetown Field Will, it Is ex-
peeted, be the scene of one of the most
exciting gridlron contests ever held here,
when on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock
the All-Washington and Georgetown foot
ball teams meet to contest for supremacy.
Those in charge of the event have
nearly completed all necessary arrange
nients and say that the field is in superb
condition. 1t is many years since a rep
resentatiye team consisting of college
players stroye to uphold the fame of the
Capital, and when they meet Capt. Ca
sey's aggregation of pigsldn experts on
Monday, they will do their best to win
the day.
Several players whose regulations in
the football arena are national. will be
found on the All-Washington eleven, and
the Georgetown aggregation will be even
stronger than that which met Columbian
on Thanksgiving Day and scored vic
tory.
Eddie Seton will act as referee at the
game and John Hadley Doyle as umpire.
The linesmen will be Don Fuggitt of Le-
high and Wilson Young of Georgetown.
Although several changes may be made
before the game is called, the probable
lineup of the teams is as follows:
| Georgetown-Greene, right end; Byrnes
| and Laughlin, right tackle; f. Smith,
| right guard: Long, cenSr; Brooke and
