ATHENA, FEBRUARY 1S, 1898.

1t is carefully estimated, says
the Tacoma Ledger, that in the
years since our commercial marine
was wiped out by the war of the
rebellion, this country has paid
the sum of $6,0o0,OO0.00O in
freights for American products
carried in English vessels. We
are paying at the rate Of $3,000,-
600 a year for freight at present.
This money could have been saved
to go into the pocket Of American
merchants and mechanics had
congress encouraged the building
Of the American ships, 1t is not
too late to begin, and the present
congress should enact the laws
that will open every American
shipyard and many new ones.
The benefit will not be fully re-
allied by the purchase of foreign
ships to be given American regis
ter. Prosperity to American
shipping must begin with the pros
.perity Of American shipbuilders.

The news from Washington is
that the expenses of W. s. Wander
burg, in his contest for the seat Of
Representative Tongue, may not
be paid by the national govern
ment. These expenses are esti-
mated at $4,000. The contest was
based upon the alleged fact that
the Indians of the Siletz reserva-
tion voted for Tongue and pos
sessed no right to vote at all.
Anyone familiar with the circum-
stances can call to mind that for
several days Vanderburg's election
was practically conceded. Whether
he made out any cause
for claiming the seat is not known,
but it is hardly likely in view of
the fact that the vote to seat
Tongue was unanimous, and yet
there were reasons for grave sus-
picion owing to the closeness Of
the vote, a plurality Of SO being
officially declared in favor Of
Tongue, These contests should
not be undertaken unless some
showing of fraud can be main
tanned.

The PRESS today gives the full
report of the democratic and popu-
list comforting committees which
were sometime ago appointed by
the county central committees to
meet on Wednesday Of this week
for the purpose Of arranging for
the perfection of union of the
two parties, by which they can
work in harmony in the coming
campaign and eleotion. While
the resolutions in the main have
the right sounding and the de.
sired tendency, still there are ex-
ceptions wherein the democrats
are asked to esponse populist doc
trines to some extent. This, OF
course, Is to be expected to some
extent, when Union of forces ia
to be welded together. The Press
is a democratic newspaper, and as
such proposes to be conservative
in this matter, and as there is to
be further conferences of commit
tees, it withholds further opinion,
and will not commit itself one
way or the other, until these CONF
mittees have had their meeting
and made their report known,

Reynard, after great but fruit

Precisely! We stop the press long enough to ask if tbe Republicans had offered to ndorse Mr. Mccoy for Sheriff, would the seIf.assumed straight Democratic party of this county have admonished Satan to get be. hind them, or accepted the endors- ment as a blow on the solar pIexus to the so.ealIed bolters2 The latter, we expect.

Hoods Pills biuousness. ' Price 25o,

we have no apology to offer, as none is needed. We regret the i'm possibility of our acceptance of the nomination of the last cut and dried but the methods by which he was nominated were as un- democratic as they were unfair, and no loyal Democrat considers him. self bound to support Mccoy. Yet the regular CD hide bound set who instigated the whole fraud are now ranting madly because of the en- dorsment of Bell by the Republicans as if it were some gun powder plot or great political Poo Bah. This is no unholy alliance, but simply an effort of the Democrats of Jefferson county to purge the party of some
 recent practices, and if such effort
 meet the approval of the Republican
 UT any other party, so much strong
 CT IS the argument justifying the

THE Commercial ridicules the in dorsement of Mayor Bell by the Re publican convention. Has our even- ing contemporary forgotten that MaIor Mccoy was declared the Democratic nominee by one vote, to get which it was necessary 10 count eleven negro Republican votes Il Richland township, and the ballot of a man who scratched McCoy's name on the ticket and swore that he never voted or intended to vote for Mccoy?

WE will drive every white man out of the court house That's the kind of talk they gave the negroes at the negro republican convention that endorsed Mr. Bell. How does that strike the good old Democrats who lived here during the recon struction days?- Commsrcial
 It would strike pretty hard fl true, but it is not true, an5 every body knows that there is no danger of every white man being driven from the court house" The skin of MT. Bell is as white as Mr. MeCoy's, and there is no opposition to he le- gally nominated Democratic eand: dates. Mr. Bell is also as good a Democrat and has voted about as many Democratic tickets as Maj Mccoy, except for the matter oi years.

THROUGHOUT the present cam paign; and during all it's various and varying stages, the GRAPHIC has not sought to deal in epithets or lurid language, but has preferred to conduct dignifed oebate, employ ing argument, logic and reason for the accomplishment of it's purposes. Brannism is not popular in Southern journalism, and the original and his followers are not long in coming to grief. The imitators ard would be Branns should therefore learn a lesson from the past and proceed with care and caution.

4 Difference.

There is a vast difference between a party and its methods. Our al- leagience to the Democratic party is as strong as our convictions are sim cere, and we shall adhere to them in the future, as we have stood by them in the past, but there recent ly have been some methods injected into the party that are at such vari- ence ith every fundamental priu.
 ciple of right, that we repudiate the
 action and refuse to be bound by any such a nomination, but will support for the office of Sheriff, a Democrat, simon pure, who also,
 geeling that an injustice has been done the people in abridging their right of choice, and at She earnest solicitation of hundreds of the best democrats in the county, has an nounced himself Q candidate His ame is D. c. Bell. For doing this
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-08-14

MR. BELL is no Democrat, for ev- cry time be offered for an office on the Democratic ticket be was defeat- ed. His former election as mayor has been a matter Of eireums tanees. = Gommerc a}
 Then how does it come that the Gommereia1, which is so profuse in it's protestations of loyalty to the Democratic party in this campaign how does it come that our vesper- tine contemporary supported Mir. Bel for Mayor in 1893 over the reg ular Democratic nominee? The matter of circumstances thaI have caused his election for Mayor in the past will also bring about his election as Sheriff in September.

How inconsistent some neWspa- pers are, ard this attribute is often possessed by individuals. The Pine Bluff Press Eagle, which two years ago bolted the Democratic national ticket and supported the opposition against Bryan. is now supporting 8 man for Sheriff of that county who was simply counted in by an unsefu- pulous majority of the Central com mittee against the votes and will of tbe democratic voters, and is crying "boltcr" to those who believe in honesty in elections, and who will not tolerate the perpetrati0n of any such schemes for robbing the people of their votes. In bringing the Press Eagle to account for such inconsist encies, and for the support of such dishonest politics, and for it's own noble work for fair methods fin poli- t.cs, the Graphic deserves a high compliment.-Saline Times Courier

The Graphic and Press-Eagle, two leading papers of Pine Bluff. have each other by the throat as q result of the nomination of q democratic candidate for Sheriff of Jefferson county It was necessary to have two primaries in the effort to make a nomination, and in each of the pri- maries fraud is charged in that ille- gal votes were allowed in certain of the preclnts. The only remedy for such evils is the enactment of laws that will punish illegal voting Tn the primaries, the same as is done iH the regular elections, The next leg islature should follow the example Of New York in this matter.
