that Mr.. Arthur Bubb, gate watch

ignore the watchman'S signals
either met with an accident or was
so badly scared that the lesson
taught made an impression for life.

obey his instructions Mr.. Bubb was
quicker to respond to the warning
given to him by that inward mOni.

 The Joaynol is gratifed b have such an opportunity of impressing upon the laity, for whom such in struction might be expected to be necessary, as well as upon its news paper contemporaries who ought not to need it, a valuable bit of in formation, to-wit: that the opinions of the Journal on political or any other topics are to be found only in it's editorial columns. AS far as space will permit the JoHrndl en- deayors to be hosptable to the pri- vate ideas both of members of it's staff and of outsiders. It has re- peatedly printed signed articles by MT. Willis J. Abbot, MT. James Creelman, Mir Arthur McEwen, Mr. Alfred Henry Lewis, ex-Senator ]. JIngalls, "A Gentleman, "Cholly Knickerbocker, Allan Dale and innumerable other writers in and out of its office. Many of these communications have been radically opposed to the policy of the paper The fact that an article, whether by an editorial writer or anybody else, is signed and appears outside of the editorial columns, is conclusive proof that it represents the private opin- ions of the author and not the views of the Journal.
 As to the position of the Journal on the subject of Mr. Bryan, the matter IS simplicity itself. The Journal supported Mir Bryan in 1896 because he was the regular nominee of the Democratic National Convention. It will support him in 1900, or anybody else who may oc- cupy the same position. 1t sup ported Mr. Van Wyek last year for similar reasons. The Journal is not and never was either a Bryan paper or a Van Wyck paper. It is a Dem oeratic paper.

A long, narrow strip of what was once seabeaoh is alone available for building purposes. All the rest ie pre- oipitous rock.
 Upon this narrow parapet, in some eases less than 100 yards in width, are crowded the homes of g5, 900 people. As much as @10 week is asked and obtained for the use of one small room. and this, too, in place where the nor nal rate of wages is quite 10 per cent less than in America. Naturally the overcrowding is fearful, and, the water supply being scarce and intermittent, cleanliness of living as VIC understand 1t is almost impossible.
 No wonder that in the old days the plague and the cholera ravaged the rock with a virulence unknown fp the filthy and presidential cities of the far east

MAPLE SUGAR.
Widespread Ignorance on shs Faza1as
 Consumers.

NOhAcAAAAN@SA
 Speaking of maple sugar bringe O mind the fact that there is no product of the farm concerning which there IS greater ignorance on the part of con- sumers than maple sugar and sirup. 4t seems to be almost the universal opinion that maple sirup to be genuine must be dark in color and of thick, heavy body. have carefully studied this mat ter. and am convinced that dealers Tn large towns and cities are largely re- sponsible for this. Maple sirup is one of the easiest things to doctor y For in- stance, gallon of strictly pure, light oolored maple sirup is received, and for eign substances, as cane sugar or glu- cose, are added and three gallons made. and all are branded spure maple sirup.
 Some years ago stepped into gro eery store in the city of Denver and in- Quired if they had any genuine maple sirup "Oh, yes' was shown cans branded "pure Vermont maple sirup." asked the grocer if he would kindly let me taste sample. He did go, and as I looked up I suspect he be- gan to "smell mice" and asked if was manufacturer of the article. said, "Yes, and l ship 1t every spring to your city. <" Seeing he was fairly caught, he said; "The fact is cannot fool you, see. This sirup of ours was probably made in Chicago. :"
 Last spring I sent gallon by TO. quest to a pastor of church in Brook. lyn who in his boyhood days used to live on farm in Chenango county and knew what real maple sirup was. We sent him a gallon of early make, of light amber shade, and at once received word that the sirup was entirely ahead of any he had ever seen, and that tt was an utter impossibility to procure such in the city.
 Why is 1t impossible? I know fine sirup is made and shipped The fact is, as I said before, the consumer is not allowed to taste that fine, light colored, genuinely pure article, for once he geta Q taste of it the trade for the bogus ar- sicle is gone. A few days ago friend told me he sent pound of fine sugar, made by one of cur farmers, to his mother in Baltimore. The cake weighed 18 ounces, and as 1t went by mail 1t cost him i8 cents postage The letter carrier who delivered it said 1t must be something valuable to pay so much postage. The lady said she could guess what 1t was It was cake of maple sugar her boy had sent her from New York.
 As the carrier lived close by the lady told him to como in during the evening and she would show him something good. Ho did so, but the moment he saw 1t be said; You can't fool me. That isn't maple sugar. Maple sugar is always black !" She chopped of a cor ner and told him to sample it. He de- clared he had never seen maple sugar before and wanted the lady to write and order him 100 pounds. Tho sugar was shipped, cash received, and one man learned that maple sugar, in order Co Do genuine, need not be black as stoYepipe. Country Gentleman.

A Press Club.

We are pleased to chronicle the general indorsement accorded by the public to the GRAPHIc's sugges- tion for the organization of Press Club in this city. There can be no doubt that such an organization would fill a long-felt want in tfis community. It would inaugurate an era of good feeling that could not fail to rebound to the interest of every publication in the city and the general good of the community, E83y-ta.king in all the local editors, reporters and newspaper cores pondents, an ample number could be found for the organization of a press club.
 At meetings of the club, aside from social features, questions could be discussed for the general good of the community, and in that manner the organization could be made of material and practical value to the city and county.
 We have no regularly organized Board cf Trade or Commercial League at this time, and Press Club, by cooperation and confer ence meetings with local citizens  could, in large measure, supply this deficiency
 We obserz 70 from l..e .s;sere .of
 V vSs- seytes-es- ldue IosssIe ol one New Orleans States the pro- ceedings of a very delightful meet ing of the New Orleans Press Club. At this meeting a highly enjoyable and entertaining musical and liter ary program was carried out before a large audience of visitors, followed by social features calculated to place the newspaper writers in closer touch and harmony with their constituents.
 No doubt the literary aud musical talent of Pine Bluff would heartily cooperate with local press club on public occasions, and in that manner the people would become attached to their newspaper men as in no other way.
 The cordial and harmonious rela- tions that would naturally exist be- tween the newspaper men under such conditions is a long.felt desid eratum, and altogether the inhu- ences of such a society would be wholly beneficial

LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 Sorofulous Humors How a Cure
 Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods SarsaparilIa. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment In his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned" WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.

Gov. PINGREE, of Michigan, fired hot shot into the Republican party in speech at Buffalo few days ago. "Today all the trusts and mo nopolies which are bleeding the country have taken refuge under the wing of the Republican party, because they fear the Democratic party, which has kicked them out, he says, and truer words were never spoken. It is apparent that all the trusts and monopolies have flown to the Republican party because they know they can receive no eonsola- tion from the Democratic party.

Another Trust.

Trusts seem to be the order of the day, and now that the Republican party is in power the capitalists and monopol;sts are making the most of their opportunities
 The latest trust is the Interna- tional Paper Go. with a capital of $50, 900, GOO. The combine includes all the paper mills in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu- setts and New York, with an aggre- gate capacity of 1900 tons of paper per day. The combination controls the spruce timber lands in Michigan, New York and New England and the five great rive IS in the East
 Itis needless to say that the price of paper will be advanced.
 The great newspapers and big consumers of paper in this country should meet the trust by organizing paper mills of their own.
 Congress should also remove at once the tariff on paper.
 Any advance in paper will have to be met by an increased price in subscription, as many of the news papers are now printed and deliver ed about the cost of the print paper alone.
