FEBRUARY 12 was Abraham Lii

FEBRUARY 12 was Abraham Lin coln's birthday. It was observed in the city of New York us a pub lie holiday, and Gall the banks were closed" This was very considerate on the part of the "patriotic" bankers. We pre- sume they set the day apart to do penace for past offences. Mir. Lincoln said that during the "dark days" of 1S62-3 the Wall Street bankers and the money gamblers caused him as much anxiety and menaced the govern ment fully as much as the Confed- crates in the field. We suggest to these "valiant" bankers that at the next anniversary they spend the day in careful perusal of the proceedings of Congress during the months of Janury and Febru- ary, 1862. Thaddeus Stevens speech in closing the debate on the Legal Tender act would per hsr s.ate7esf iiism greatly.

Irreparable Loss.

Kindly words, sympathizing atten- tions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-thes cost very little, but they are priceless in their value. .. O! my brethren, it is the omission of these things which is irreparable; irreparable when you look to the purest enjoyment which might have been your own; irreparable when you consider the compunction which belongs to deeds of love not done; ir- reparable when you look to this groan- ing world and feel that its agony of bloody sweat has been distilling all night and you were dreaming away in luxury!- on "The Irrepar- able Past.'

CAN VIE RAISE WHE4Ts

Eureka, our worthy correspon- dent from Roe, asks the question, stcan we raise wheat to advan- tage9" eff not why not" The north half of Texas, all of Indian Territory, southern Tennessee, north Mississippi and north Ala bama all raise wheat to advantage and we are in the same latitude and we are blessed with a soil that promises higher average of co n per acre than these places ] ps Id. Then why cant we pro- duce, as well, a higher average of wheat per acre than they? Can any body answer the question! Some of the oldest settlers of this part of the state say they have seen splendid wheat grown here in central eastern Arkansas. A farmer, as far as practicable, should raise everything he needs. If wheat will grow here why ship all your four from the norths Why ship your fall and winter supply of potatoes from the north, when you can raise potatoes to Eli r4ly the summer market of the
 a l, and have plenty left for % own fall and winter use? An average crop of cotton per acre, is about 175 pounds, this at 4 1-2 cents amounts to $7.87 per acre. Say you can raise ten bushels of wheat per acre and this is a very low estimate. Ten bushels of wheat at 80 cents per bushel amounts to $500 per acre, which gives you small balance to the credit of the wheat. Then consider the expense of shipping the flour that we now consume from the north, and the fact that all the money for this flour goes out of our country and, that if we raised our own wheat, this great amount of money, so spent, would be kept in circulation in our midst and add to our permanent wealth and prosperity and it looks like 4swe CAN raise wheat to advantage.
 Besides this another matter that should interest the farmers of Monroe county is, that if the farmers will agree to SOW wheat enough to justify the enterprise a first class Roller Mill, ready to turn the wheat into high grade of flour, will be built in Brinkley in time to receive the first general crop of wheat as soon us 1t can be ready for the mill. We speak from the card in reference to this mill enterprise. Keep the ball rolling. Eureka,

FILING UP THE SINEWS OF VAR Collector Lynch Up to His Ears in Business. RECEIPTS FOR THE DAY. LARGEST KNOWN IN THE HIS
 TORY OF THE OFFICE. Tobacco Men and Brewers Making Inventories of the Stock on
 Hand and Large Dis
 counts Offered.
RECEIPTS FOR THE DAY.
LARGEST KNOWN IN THE HIS
 TORY OF THE OFFICE.

Collector Lynch and all of his force were up to their ears in business yesterday is- suing circulars to the makers and sellers of tobacco and malt liquors informing them as to the details of the new war revenue bill and the taxes which they or rather the consumers will have to pay in order to continue the war against Spain and to pay the war bills already incurred by the Government.
 The law requires all tobacconists to make an inventory of all their stock on hand stamped and ready for sale yester- day, the day on which the new revenue tax bill went into effect. All stocks under 20 900 cigars or cigarettes and under 1000 pounds of tobacco are exempt from the new tax. Hence the necessity for the in- ventory.
 Manufacturers of beer and other malt liquors may buy the new stamps in any quantity, whether needed for immediate consumption or not, and they will be al- lowed a discount of 715 per cent
 The following circular was issued for the information of the brewers:
 You will require every brewer on his return, form 1s for June, to account separately for the number and kind of stamps purchased, and the number and kind of stamps used by him dur ing the portion Of the month before and in cluding the day of the passage of the act ln- creasing the tax; and to account separately for the number and kind of stamps purchased. and the number and kind of stamps used by him during the portion of the month after the
 
 and kind of stamps returned by him and ex- changed for stamps at the increased rate Also to show separately the quantity of liquor removed from the premises before, and after the passage of the act. g Attention Is called to the fact that the in crease in the rate of tax will probably necessi- tate the giving of new bonds by all brewers. as the amount of tax. which. In the opinion of the Collector, the brewer will be liable to pay during any month. You will please soc that bonds in sufficient amounts are given in all cases where the present bond is too small to satisfy the requirements of the law in this respect.
 The receipts of the office yesterday were $2e 300 about $20 900 in excess of the ordi- nary daily receipts of the office. This in- crease in receipts will not be permanent because the. payments made yesterday represent amounts due on stock held back

Los Angeles Water Corpo- ratiOn's Proposal to
 the City.
Contested Crystal Springs Rights Rated at One-Third of the
 Total Valuation.

LOS ANGELES, June 14-When 1t was predicted by The Call correspond ent almost six months ago that the Los Angeles City Water Company would demand $3,O0OOOO for its plant from the city that prophecy was made advisedly. That is what the company by its attorneys asked to-day, although the offer came in the shape of two propositions, made at a joint meeting of the directors of the water company and the members of the City Council One was to sell to the city all of the corporations improvements to the city's plant within the city limits for s2,000,- 900. The second was a proposal to sell the property owned by the Crystal Springs Company, which is a corpora tion auxiliary to the City Water Com pany, all of its water rights and prop erty for s1,000,O00 additional.
 The main feature of the holdings of the Crystal Springs Water Company is a contested water right The city claims the Crystal Springs water rights are invalid and of no value, as the water claimed by the Crystal Springs Company is simply percolating water of the river, all of which belongs to the city. One million dollars is the amount really asked for the contested water rights.
 The proposition of the water company was not at all favorably received by the Council. An inventory of the property owned and alleged to be owned was supplied. After hearing it read the Council ordered the water supply con- mtttee and the City Engineer to check up the inventory with the estimate of value previously made by the City En- gineer, and ascertain how far apart the City Engineers value of the company's property and the valuation of the cor poration itself are. Another meeting is to be held on Friday next.
 Mayor M P. Snyder was not at all satisfied with the meeting held to-day. He was an interested spectator and participated in the conference. The previous estimate of the City Engineer was that the property which the city desired to and should purchase of the water company was worth approXi- clude any allowance for the alleged Crystal Springs water right upon which the company has placed the liberal valuation of S1,000, 900.
 As to this right, Superior Judge Yorke has not yet rendered his decision. The case has been tried before him and submitted An opinion is now awaited. One thing is certain: The people of Los Angeles will not vote $3, 900, 900 in bonds to buy out the present company. If it should be done an immediate eX- penditure of S5oO,OOO would have to be made to put the plant into shape.
 When the conference was called to order this morning it was found all principals were promptly on hand. Judge J. s. Chapman was the legal advisor of the corporation and City At
