THE BLUE AND GRAY UNITE.
Veterans of Both Armies of the Civil
War Take Part In Patriotic


+ Veterans of the blue and the gray united
yesterday evening in special patriotic and
religious services at the Second Presby-
terian church.
Praying and Fighting were the signifi-
cant words at the head of the neatly
printed programme which bore on one cover
an American flag in colors. and on the
other the verses of the Star Spangled
Banner" which the congregation sang at
the close of the service.
"A Scene on Board the Texas was the
title of the address by the pastor. Rev.
DR.. H. d. Jenkins, who was a member of
Company A. Thirty-fifth Pennsylvania vol
unteer militia during the late war. Judge
]. d. McCue. Company D, Eighth Illinois
infantry. talked ON the Amenities of War
relating many incidents showing the kind
ly feeling which existed between the
'Yanks'' and "Johnnies of the late war,
when a cessation of hostilities or even the
circumstances of capture gave them
chance to become acquainted with each
other. "a Rough Rider of 1861 to 1866 was
the title of a very entertaining address by
Mr.. ]. T. Cleveland. who served during the
period of which he talked in the Second
Virginia cavalry of the Confederate army.
The church had been elegantly decorated
for the occasion, with about seventy-five
silk flags. The music was all suggestive
of the particular nature of the meeting. and
everyone present felt as he stood to receive
the pastors benediction that the once
alienated elements of the republic were be-
ing knitted closer and closer together.

The Yukon is said to be higher than has

AT the time the Hattie l. Phillips sailed
four schooners were lying about ST. Mich

United States consul to Annaburg, Saxony,
during the first administration of President
Cleveland. Maidhof attempted to cross the
portage from Unalaklik to kaltag, bound

CAPTAIN CLARK's REPORT.
Thinks That hut for the Oregon the
Cristobal Colon Would Have
EScuDed.


Copyright 1895. by the Associated Press,
OFF GUANTANAMO. Saturday. July O.
Captain Clark, of the United States battle
ship Oregon, which did such remarkable
work at the naval battle off Santiago de
Cuba. that resulted in the destruction of
Admiral Cervera's squadron, says. in his
official report of the engagement to Rear
Admiral Sampson:
THE Spanish fleet turned to the west
ward and opened fire, to which our ships
replied vigorously. For short time there
was an almost continual flight of project
lies over the ship. but when our line was
fairly engaged the enemy's fire became de-
fective. As soon as it was evident that the
enemy's ships were trying to break through
and escape to westward. We went ahead
at full speed with the determination of
carrying out to the utmost your instruc-
tions: If the enemy tries to escape, the
ships must close and engage him as soon
as possible and endeavor to sink his YES
sells or force them to run ashore
I'VE soon passed all of our vessels except
the Brooklyn. At first We used only the
main battery, but when it was discovered
that the enemy's torpedo boats were fol-
lowing the ships we used our rapid-fire
guns as well as the 6-inch guns upon them
with telling effect.
'.As We ranged up near the sternmost
of their ships she headed for the beach.
evidently on fire. We raked her as We
passed. rushing on for the next ahead.
using our starboard guns as they were
brought to bear; and before We had her
fairly abeam she. too. was making for the
beach. The two remaining vessels were
now some distance ahead, but our speed
had increased to sixteen knots and the
Vizcaya was soon sent to the shore in
flames.
''Cnly the Cristobal Colon was left, and
for time it seemed as il she might es-
cape. But when we opened with our for
| ward turret guns and the Brooklyn fol-
| lowed, the Colon began to edge in toward
the coast and her destruction was assured.
As she struck the beach her flag went
down.
1.-The Brooklyn sent boat to her. and
when the admiral caught up with the
New York, Texas and Vixen, the Cristobal
Colon was taken possession Of l cannot
speak in too high terms of the bearing
and conduct of all on board this ship.
When they found the Oregon had rushed
| to the front and was hurrying to a sue
cession of conflicts with the enemy's ves-
| sells, if they could be overtaken and would
engage, the enthusiasm was intense. AS
| these Spanish vessels were so much more
| heavily armored than the Brooklyn. they
| might have concentrated upon. and over
| powered her.
Consequently, I am persuaded that, but
| for the officers and men on the Oregon who
| steamed and steered the ship and fought
! and supplied her batteries, the Cristobal
Colon, and perhaps the Vizcaya. would
| have escaped

"Needed Legislation ,

4A CGACAA AS1AA30h. Under the above caption County Judge WI Jones in an article in the Christmas edition of the Graph Ic last Sunday, pointed out some needed reforms in our State laws, 5 especially as applied to Jefferson county.
 The four needed reforms pointed out by Judge Jones are the follow. azng:
 9-Revision O the revenue laws ] to equalize assessments and to re Iquire annually the payment of
 fixed sum in taxes from each
 county instead of the present sys=
 dem.
 2-The passage of an act to
 authorize counties, with the consent
 of the leyying court, to purchase a county convict farm and to use con
 v1cts on the public roads.
 3-The passage of an act to reim- purse the county for the cost of con viction in felony cases. the State re- ceiving the labor of the conyicts.
 4-The registration of county ] warrants, as is done at present with the warrants of the city of Pine Bluff
 The Graphic desires to endorse and discuss these propositions
 briefly.
 l-Revision of the revenue laws
 for the purpose of equalizing the burdens of taxation. This can prob ably be done under our present con
 stitution in no way except by the
 creation Of State Board of Equah
 xation. Several unsuccessful efforts
 have been made in the past to se-
 cure the passage of such law by a aEe General Assembly of the State { But the people have become more
 educated along this line, and pros poets are better now than in the past for securing the passage of such sa law. The inequalities of our pres .eat system of taxation have long
 been noted. Under the present |system property is assessed at 9 xniuimum valuation with the high lest rate of taxation allowed under |0ur State constitution. The posi- zion should be reversed. We eshould IE1ape the highest rate of valuation with the lowest rate of taxation. This would show more wealth in the State and the low rate of taxation would serve as an inducement for immigration and the establishment los manufacturing industries.
 2-fhe purchase of county con- |vict farm would abolish the obnox sous lease system. The State has successfully shown that it can profitably employ the conYiets in farming. The sapne can be done by Ehe county and the convicts treated | in a more humane manner. As fudge Jones suggests, by this method part of the county convicts sould also be utilized on the public roads to the great betterment of the condition Of the people. Such neasure as Judge Jones advocates "a this line would be of great bene- t to all the large counties of the tate.
 3-The passage of law to reim- arse the county for the cost ofcon- iction in felony cases IS a measure f Justice and would be of great Y euefit to every county in the State. I

Under the present system the coun- ty bears the expense of conviction and the State receives the labor ol the convict aud the profits arising therefrom. From this labor the profits to the State for the year 1898 are estimated at $60 900. Since ,he State enjoys the profit arising from the labor of the convict, it should also share the expense of convicting the convict and bringing him to the penitenfiarY.
 1.-The experience of the city of Pine Bluff in registering her war rants shows the benefit to be de- rived from this system An effort las been made by several legisla= lures to pass such law for the State, but because of the ignorance in the past of the workings ofsuea Q system, the efforts have been ur= successful. But the system is no longer an experiment The city of Pine Bluff has given it 8 trial and found it to be successful, and with Pine Bluffs experience confronting them, the salons may be more ready and willing to adopt it.
 On the whole and in part the Graphic indorses Judge Jones rec ommendatious of Needed Legisla- tion, and we hope such measures as he suggests will receive the earnest and intelligent atten ton of our legislators when they meet in January.
