ANOTHER IMPLICATED.
Witness in the Post-0flce Robbers
 Trial May Be Guilty.

The examining trial of the negro Harris, one of the Lilly post-0fice robbers, is being held today before U. s. Commissioner Burnett.
 In the examination one of the negroes in his testimony implicated another negro named Daniels. Daniels was summoned here as a witness, he having loaned the other two an ax.
 Daniels denies having anything tc do with the burglary, and as he is a hardworking negro tits thought that he was imposed on by the other two. His ax was found at the store that was robbed. All three were bound over to await the action of the Texarkana Grand Jury, and placed under $500 bonds.

Hypocrisy and Lying.

The GRAPHIC delights in dealing cautiously with its contemporaries, employees and the public generally, and disHkes to engage in unpleasant controversies, even in it's own de- fehse and when warranted by facts. But out of respect to itself and the truth, it cannot permit to go by ua- noticed and unanswered downright lying and shameless hypocrisy, re- sorted to for the purpose ofcreatiag prejudice against it. With this brief introduction we respectfully ask the Indulgence of our readers to make reply to the following para graph in tne last issue of a "puny weekly, known as the Courier. The paragraph follows
 The editors of the GRAPHIC and Commercial claim to be staunch sup porters of the Arkansas Press Asso- citation, which protects publishers; but tneY are violently opposed to labor unions, which tend to protect their employes against unfair treat. ment and starvation wages, Let them deny it if they can. They are also very patriotic; in fact, so much so that on each Christmas Day and Fourth of July they close up their offices aud give their employees a holiday-then dock them fol one day the following payday. But on the following first of the month it IS different. They make out their bills to subscribers and adver- tisers and collect for papers which were never printed and advertise ments which never appeared, thus making their holiday business CD all profit.
 To the above the GRAPHIC makes emphatic denial We are not os- posed to labor unions, when rightly

INTERVENTION
The Only Successful Adjustmsat Where the Government is
 Concerned.

A genteel scrap varied the mo notony of life on Third avenue this afternoon. Messrs. John Ray and Charlie Broadway were the belHger. ents. The casus beni was not ascer. tained. Mr. Handy Brewer tender. ed his friendly services and inter. vened in the interest of law and hu. manity. ". D. Vance will act asa court of inquiry, and his finding will be made known next Saturday. It is generally believed that the court will find that the changed ap. pearance of each was due to outsids influences and that damages will be assessed against the responsi08 party It is likely that the pay ment of these damages will be en' forced by confscation of person os property. The injury to the digni9 ty of the law may, however, be sat- is6ed by arbitration and mutual agreement.

WhatIt Would Cost.

A responsible authority on such matters, says the Arkansas Democrat, has figured it out that if "ao men were lost, if no ships were destroyed or even damaged, it would cost g, 00O,000 or $3, 900, 900 for ammunition alone to fight frst-class battle with modern arms and projectiles, and large part of the $50, GOO, 900 appropriated will go for powder and shot An ordinary allowance of ammunition for one of the big guns costs about as much as the gun itself, and anyone can realize that we will need an enormous ann ount of powder before our navy goes to war, for it takes nearly half a ton every time one of the 13inch guns is fired. There were 250 tons of powder on the Maine when she went down, and her magazines were only half filled. The big battle ships and the first rate cruisers should never go into action without
 a supply of from 500 10 500 tons, or. say an average of TOO tons. There are eleven of these battleships, which together require 7,700 tons. Then there are sixteen second rate ships which ought to have 800 tons
 each in their magazines, or a total of 5000 tons; forty-two third rate ships which should have at least 300 tons each, or a total of 1, 400 tons. Without counting the torpedo boats, it requires about 30, 900 tons of powder to fill the magazines of our navy before it would be safe to
 send the ships into action. The seacoast defences, with their mon- strous eight, ten and twelve.inch
 guns, require several times as much.
 The four-inch rapid fire rifle re- quires sixteen pounds of powder to
 carry projectile weighing thirty three pounds four miles. The five.

conducted and managed, a state ment that is attested by the fact that while there Is no typographical union in Pine Bluff, yet the GRAPH 10 pays it's printers a higher scale of wages than that adopted by the Ty- geographical Union of Texarkana, Ca town of about the same size and i'm portance), for day work.
 But let us see how Lypocritical IS the claim of the Main Street
 "Growlers" about unionism. The GRAPHIC begs to advise them that under union rules not one of the publishers or proprietors of that sheet is eligible to membership in a aaion. Perhaps they don't think we know this, but we do. They are no more eligible to membership than Editors Newman, Murray and Ad- ans, all of whom are practical prin- ters, but barred from membership because they are proprieto~s. And the publishers and proprietors of the "Growlera are barred by the same rule.
 As to the editors and publishers of the "Growler, two of them are printers and one is not. The two that are printers bave in the past, been members of a union, bat the GRAPHIC desires to vopchsafe to the public the information that neither of them is in good standing before the union. One has been suspended from a union, and the other allowed his membership to lapse, and has been heard and known to personally denounee the union for declaring az unwarranted strike in the Appeal cf- flee at Memphis when he held cases on that paper. These remarks are susceptible of proof and we men tion the matter simply to show the insincerity and hypocrisy of the men who are now pretending to pose as the friends of organized labor.
 As to the charge that the GRAPHIC has @doeked" it's employees for Christmas Day and the Fourth of July, our files show that the 4th of July 1896 fell on Saturday, on which the GRAPHIC issues no daily, but that it was regularly issued on the following Sunday morning, and ey- cry emIloye received full pay. July 4th, 1897, fell on #the Sabbath day and the Daily GRAPHIC was regular ly issued on that morning, and those who worked received full pay.
 As to Christmas day the GRAPH Io's books during this period show that its employees received full pay for the week.
 With this brief explanation, made in justice to ourselves, we respect fully dismiss the "Growlers' from our further consideration.

THERE are a lot of jingoes who want to go to war with Spain be- cause 250 American sailors were blown up in the harbor of Havana. Do they suppose that there won be any more lives lost if the country goes to war? Wouldn't it be better to accept an indemnity for the loss of our ship and 250 lives tban to go to war and have several thousands killed. War is not a harmless pastime as some seem to thick.

ORGANIZED LABOR.
Tho Subject of Lecture by Hon. James 0'Connell at the
 Court House.

The seating capacity in the court house was tested on Wednesday evening to hear the lecture deliver ed by James O'Connell, of Chicago, Grand President of the Internation- al Association of Maehinists. His subject was organized labor.
 Mayor D, c. Bell presided over the meeting and in few we'll cho- sen words introduced the speaker and outlined the object of the meet ing.
 MT. O'ConnelI spoke on the neces- sity of organization as a protection against crime and as a means of pro tecting the home and industry. He quoted several instances of eondi- tions in this country worse than slavery. One was of a concern in the East employing children between the ages of 10 and 13 years of age to sew buttons on pasteboard to be sold as merchandise. The children work 10 hours every day and receive an average of SLIP per week for their labor
 He spoke of women being employ ed in shops and factories, doing men s work and receiving as wages one-half ofwhat men would get
 He then explained the 8-hour ques- tion by stating that there are tweu- ty million people employed in the United States at manual labor, while there are one million people unemployed. If one-fourth of the twenty million people were put on eight hours that would give employ ment to the idle million and still work to spare. There are $50, 900 families in the country depending on the labor of their children for support, where if child labor ia shops aud factories were abolished, it would make room for grown peo. pie, and the children could go to school.
 He does not assaa capital and em- pIoyers for the present social condi- ton, but planes the working class of people themselves for allowing such conditions to exist when they are in a position to abolish them by organizing and asserting their pow CT.
 He then appealed to all present not members of labor organizations to cast in their lot and do their share to better the social condition of their respective crafts.
 The lecture was given under the auspices of Cotton Belt Lodge No. 51, l. A. of M.
