the country that the negro race every
where has grown stronger and stronger
IN all the elements of Christian morality,
OF thrift and intelligence Considerable

PENAL REFORM.

I'm the interest Of humanity 1t requests
that the penal institutions of the South be
reformed. The suggestion is made that a
part Of the public domain Of the South
be devoted TO the maintenance OF schools
of higher learning and industrial training.
and for a more effective maintenance of
the public-school system of those States
for each race, share and share alike.
The opinion Is expressed that a more
general distribution Of the negroes
throughout the States OF the Union and
new Territories Of the republic would re-
duce the congested population of the
Southern States. and would do much to
simplify the race problem.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's Ex.
 cessive Use.


 Common soda is all right i'll its place and indispensable in the kiteh- en and for cooking and washing pur- poses, but it was never intended for u medicine and people who use 1t as such will some day regret It.
 We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, habit which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives tenn porary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as a mechanical l irritant to the walls of the stomach or bowels and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intes- tines, causing death by intlamma- tion or peritonitis.
 Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach [acid dyspepsial an excel lent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly be- fore it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system
 Dr. Wurth states that he inyarl- ably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach Arrangements and finds them a certain cure, not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digesting the food they create a healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen the action oi the heart and liver. They are not a cathartc, but intended only for . stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable In any stomach trouble except cancer of thestomach, All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50cts. per package. A little book describing all forms of stomach weakness and their cure mailed free by addressing the Stuart Co.,, of Marshall, Mich.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY ORDINANCE.


 Tn another column of today's GRAPHIC will be found an ordinance introduced into the City County at its last meeting granting afranchlse for an electric street railway and light plant to operate in Pine Bluff. The ordinance was prepared by rep resentatives of eastern capitalists who are now in the city in the in- terests of the enterprise and sub mitted by them for the considera- tion of the council. It is consum- nation ardently wished for, that the city should have an electric car line. If the ordinance resented is consistent with the city's good. the council will gain the lasting grati- tude of our citizens by granting the l franchise. In order that our people may have a clear understanding of the franchise and weigh well it's pro- visions, the GRAPHIC publishes the ordinance in full. Every business man should read it carefully. The columns of the GRAPHIC are open to expressions of opinion on the l subject,

marked out, and on Nov. he issued a
proclamation OF amnesty. A decree pur-
porting 10 grant the island autonomy was
signed by the Queen Regent, Nov. ", and
an autonomist government was instituted
at Havana. War with the United States
broke out before II had had many weeks
trial
Throughout the war Gen. Blanco has
taken a very roseate view of the situation
from a Spanish standpoint. He has time
and again contended that he could hold
Havana against the American troops and
fleet, and that the city and its fortified tons
would not yield till the last drop of Span
ism blood had been shed. His dispatches TO
Madrid were always most hopeful and OPP
timistlc in their tone and even when it
was admitted In every other quarter that
the troops in Havana were weakened by
lack OF proper food and were Handicapped
by limited supply of ammunition Gen.
Blanco telegraphed TO the nome govern
ment in most assuring tones and declared,
In effect that he lacked for nothing. His
dispatches, too, relating to the blockade
OF Havana harbor and the minor engage
ments in and about there were of a like
nature. The tone of his communications
with Madrid was always such as to en-
courage the people of Spain in prosecuting
the war.
