Only Talk.

There has been on the streets for a
couple of days a report to the effect
that there was to be a change in the
Supreme Court. The program out
lined was the retirement of Justice
Frear for the purpose of entering up
on practice, the promotion OF Judge
Perry of the First Circuit and the ap-
pointment of Lyle A. Dicky to succeed
Judge Perry. Careful inquiry has been
made and it is learned that there is
no foundation whatsoever for the re-

Hanna,s Election

The Ohio contest for the Senator ship has resulted as a majority of the people of this country believed it would in the triumph of Marcus A. Hanna.
 The people have long since recog- nized the fact that it is almost im- possible to triumph over wealth and corporate greed They were given an object lesson of this kind in the last National campaign when Me- Kinley, on whose side was arrayed the corporate wealth and greed of tLe country, defeated Vim. J. Bry- an, who was backed only by the common people. It is but natural that Hanna, who manipulated that campaign and succeeded in raising the largest campaign fund ever known in the history of the country, should get anything he wants at the hands of the Republican party.
 With so narrow a margin in the Ohio Legislature to overcome, with the power of the administration be- hind him and unlimited capital at his command, Hanna's ultimate tri- umph was foregone conclusion. It was obvious that his opponents could only harrass him, their event. uaI defeat, without some extraordi- nary and unforeseen circumstance, was obvious. In this case the ex- pected has happened, th9 only sur prise being that Hanna so easily overeame the opposition.
 The triumph of such men as Han na in National politics, whose only virtue is wealth and whose only ability is the power of the slave driver, and whose methods are those of the bully aud corruptionist-th triumph Of such men in National politics is a national disgrace, and Illustrates too plainly the power of. money in this country.
 But the Republican party is solely responsible for this unhappy eondi-

The Fort smith Tornado.

The news of the awful cyclone which befell Fort Smith Tuesday night brings grief and sorrow to the people of this section of the State. The people of Pine Bluff are bound to the people Of Fort Smith by ties of both blood and friendship, to say nothing of the natural bonds of sympathy. Any calamity that visits Arkansas, or the South, is keenly felt by the people of this city, who are fast now very anxlous to see Arkansas and the South forge to the front
 Any calamity Chat befalIs any sec tion of Arkansas is felt by the peo- pie of Arkansas in common. Our people realize that misfortune to any section of our commonwealth falls with almost equal hardship up on the entire State.
 Of course, such a calamity as that which has come to Fort Smith is likely to fall anywhere, but every cyclone, every drouth and every misfortune that is visited by Provi dence upon this people is heralded abroad to the detriment of Arkan- sas and serves to retard immigra- tion and the coming of capita
 But the visitations of Providence are unavoidable and must be endur- ed, and the people Of Arkansas, with love and pity for the unfortunate victims, must make the most of them and accept the consequences with equanimity and resignation.

 Benton McMillin is a friend to the levee system, and believes in the improvement of our navigabIe streams. Senator Hurley opposes both, because his predecessor, Isham G. Harris, did As a lawyer Mir. Hurley stands on his own merits, but as a politician he apes the old man. McMillin is a free trade Democrat of the most pronounced type, was the author of the income tax plank of the Wilson tariff bill, and when Joe Bailey went into eahoots with Tom Reed to permit the majority to walk rough-shod over the minority, re- belled, and made it so warm for the titular leader that he has not dared to repeat his tactics in the Fifty fifth congress. McMillin has done something for Democracy, and Hurley hasn't.

 Last Night.

Santanell, the hypnotist, gave the first entertainment of q series of three at the opera house last night. He was greeted by a large audience.
 The performance opened with a short talk on Hypnosis" by San tanelli, which was enjoyed by the audience.
 The hypnotists ability to handle his subject excited the wonder of all He succeeded in hypnotizing five out of twelve subjects. With these five he created a world of fun for the audience. He had them com pletely under hls control and led them through antics of all kinds. The boys seemed to be none the worse for their experience, and with the exception of feeling somewhat sheep;sh' when restored to their normal condition, they seemed to enjoy the fun.
 The hypnotist closed the perform anee by putting a young man to sleep. The boy was then placed in the show window of the Honnett Dry Goods Co.,, where he is today, sleeping peacefully and attracting large crowds of wondering specta- tors. Saturday night santanelli wln carry him back to the opera. house and, before the audience, awaken the boy from his AS hours sleep

Thn Texarlsnna Strike

Sometime ago a typographical union was organized at Texarkana. The scale of wages fixed by the union for day labor was go per week, and $1l per week for night work. The three Texarkana newspapers accepted the scale and paid it until two weeks ago, when in consequence of the dull business following the holidays, the three newspaper pro prietors asked the union for tenn porary concession in wages. Iris the typographical union declined to grant, and the printers walked out on a strike. Bat the places of the striking printers were speedily filled and the papers went along, appear ing each day as usual The Texar- kaua Courier in commenting on the strike, says
 The Courier is again in good shape. Two strikes in less than three months are placed to itscredit. Today it has more than its full com plement of expert printrs, both in it's news and job departments. It is paying it's men every dollar that it's income will justify It always has been and always will be willing to share it's prosperity with every one of it's employees It is a be. liever in the principles of co-oppera- tion.
 There is no typographical union in Pine Bluff, but the publication of the scale of wages adopted by the Texarkana union reveals the fact that there is not a newspapee office ia Pine Bluff but what is paying the Texarkana union scale of wages.
