We are pleased to chronicle that Pine Bluffs proposed electric street railway and lighting plant is pro- gressing nicely. At this writing over $21, 900 of the proposed $35, 00O has been subscribed The proposi- tion is to build and euuip plant to cost $120,000. The Westinghouse Company, of Chicago, agree to take t85, 900 worth of the bonds if the people of Pine Bluff will subscribe for the other $35,OO0 The plan seems most feasible and practicable, and, we believe, reasonable. The subscriptions are not asked as a bonus, but as an investment. What ever dividends are declared, the Pine Bluff stockholders or bond holders will reap their full share. As to the enterprise being a success, there can scarcely be any doubt about it. The income derived from lights for the city as well as from private consumers, will pay operat- ing expenses and interest on the in vestment, to say nothing of the electric street railroad. Then there are other advantages and benefits to be derived from the enterprise, chief among which wlll be the advance in the values of real estate. It will al- so give a new impetus to our city and our citizens The very hum of the electric cars will enthuse and energize our population. An electric car line is a long felt want in Pine Bluff, and now that our citizens have the opportunity Of securing the much needed enterprise, it should not be allowed to escape. Only $14, GOO more IS needed. A number of our local capitalists have already subscribed for sock in amounts from $500 10 $5, 900 each, and yet there are others to be seen, and be- fore the sun goes down tomorrow v there will likely be at least $4,000 more subscribed, leaving only $10, 900 more to be raised. It is an enter prise that appeals directly to the in terests Of the city, and the promo ters of it should receive every pos sible encouragement. Let not the enterprise slip,

King Cotton seems to be getting into a close corner, and he doesn't loo3 sharp he will have to surrender his crown to plaln, oid-fashioned corn. Of course everybody knows that the Missouri mule aud the Chi cago hog have been dependent for more than half century on corn for their existence and well being. Then a few years ago, up rose an ingeni- ous citizen and added Q "whole lot" to the value of the corn crop by manufacturing the cnbs into pipes, genuine meerschaums for sweetness and flavor Soon afterward anoth- CT citizen of inventive and progress i've genius started in to sweeten the nation with glucose, also produced from corn. This and the cob pipe and the Missouri mule finally at, traeted Uncle Sans attention, and he proceeded to render his mon. of war invulnerable with the pitch from the corn stalk, and was there by enabled to blow Spain out of the water without the loss of ship. Now we are assured that bright inventive genius of the progressive city has discovered a process by which be can turn the eane-like sheath of the corn stalk into very fine quality of paper, at much less cost than paper can be made from any other material And thus, in spite of the gold standard and other depressing influences of Markhanna ism, the American farmer and his honest Democratic cereal are march icg on from victory to victory and the day is evidently not far distant when to be an American farmer will mean the same thing as an aristo- crat.-Hamburg Eagle,

was Q high tariff democrat, and so is the present candidate for the dis trict. Perhaps no other kind os a democrat would stand any show of election so strong is the protection sentiment in Pennsylvania, but it Is a curious anomaly, all the same, that a democrat should receive the united support.of both great parties in a State which piles up the biggest re publican malorities in the Union.
 Mr. McAleer is a radical sound money man, as we'll as a protection ist, and it will be difficult for most persons to understand how he can claim to be . democrat and receive democratic support His nomina- tion under the circumstances illus. trates the complicated state of poli- tics at the present. time. There are protection democrats, free trade re- publicans, sound money democrats, free silver republicans, democratic advocates of territorial expansion, republican opponents of the new policy, democrats who hate Cleve- land and admire Mckinley, republi- cans who hold Cleveland in high re spect and have a feeling close to con tempt for Mckinley.
 The only logical arrangement of political principles is this: On the one slde, free silver, protection, anti-expansion; on the other, free trade, sound money, the acquisition of new territory and the utmost ez- tension of foreign trade. The free silver advocate who wishes to ignore the rest of the world in the adoption of a monetary system should, logic ally, be an advocate of isolation, both in national policies and in trade. On the other hand the man who wants the American standard of values. to be the same as that of the other civ ilized nations should also desire the abolition of protective tariffs and the utmost freedom of trade among the nations.
 As long as political platforms are as illogiealIy constructed as they are at present party ties must con tinue to rest lightly on progressive and intelligent voters. The mere party name carries with it less weight every year, and the charac- ter of the candidate counts for more and more. This condition ought to result in tbe advancement of better men to positions of leadership and power and make it more difficult for politicians to gull the people with high.sounding phrases that really mean nothing and appeal only to partisan prejudice.

 FRIDAY EVENING.

 Friday Constable Stewart arrest ed Mrs. Lillie Reeves, a middle aged white woman, at the Cotton Belt depot, as she was in the act of boarding train for Memphis. She was wanted on a warrant sworn out by MT. Nat Lea, charging robbery. It seems that Mrs. Reeves was visit ing at the Cplpepper house and the door of the room occupied by MT. and Mrs. Lea had been left ajar and the occupants were in another room when the woman entered the room and stole $35 from Mrs. Leas trunk. The theft was soon discovered and Constable Stewart was sent after the woman and found her at the above named place.
 She appeared before Justice Vance and admitted the theft and said she had spent all but $14 of the money.
 Upon payment of the money and cost in the case she was released on condition that she leave town.

apart from any monetary value at taehed to the ship. Naval Con- structor Ho5son had successfully raised the vessel at a great cost and labor, but the damages done to the cruiser by the American guns on July the 3rd could not be sufficiently repaired to withstand heavy gale at sea, and the ship was forever lost. It is gratifying to know, however, that her entire crew was saved ba the wrecking vessels which had the Teresa in tow.
 The loss of the Teresa will probab. ly stop all further efforts to float the Cristobal Colon and other Spanish vessels destroyed in the battle of Santiago, for the reason that the vessels can't be got to this country after being raised. The trip from Cuba to the United States is too hazardous, and the damage dtne by the Americans to the Spanish yes sels is too great to be repaired so as to successfully resist the weather of a voyage.

The Omaha Exposition proved a great financial success. Saturday the stockholders received 75 cents on every dollar of their stock, and after this was paid, enough was found in the treasury to more than pay the other p cents on the dollar. There were 6,000 subscribers, and the distribution will require eoneid= cradle time. It is needless to say that the stockholders are lubilant over the success of the enterprise.

The Loss of the Teresa.

The loss Of the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa, the flagship of Admir- al Cerveca, destroyed in the battle off Santiago on Julyt3. and after wards raised by Lieut.. Hobson, foundered at sea in heavy gale thirty miles north of the Island of San Salvador, last Tuesday. The ship was enroute to Norfolk, Va, for repairs, when terrible storm overlook her and she was lost in three hundred fathoms of water.
 This news will cause sadness and disappointment to the people of this country. The universal hope was that the late flagship of the Spanish Admiral could be successfully con verted into an American war yes sel, flying the stars and stripes, as . memento of the great naval battle of the Americans on July 3rd. It was simply matter of sentiment.
