One day mother who had been
to a country house near Marseilles
was returning at twilight to the city
with her son, child of s years,
who had been Put in peach basket
borne by a donkey, and the mother,
fearing the child might catch cold
lit was in November), had covered
him with a thick brown shawl.
Tired with running around the coun-
try all day, cozy and warm under
the thick shawl, the child was soon
asleep and hidden by the aides of the
basket. There is a local custom
house at the gates of Marseilles, and
when the inspector surmises that
any package contains contraband
articles he thrusts sharp steel pick
through it. He was preparing to
do this with the basket when the
mother, some distance behind, saw
his intention and shrieked out that
her son was in the basket. It was

When ''poet Pug" lampooned the great,
When Pultoney plared Spadillo,
When "worthless Moll' amused the court
With philosophic chatter,
When Bolingbroke pledged deep in port

When flashed the lightnings of the dean

THE GREAT PACIFIC.
The Future of That Ocean Is the Future
of the World.

The Future OF That Ocean Is the Future
of the World.
The relations of the great powers
are changing, and the Pacific is be-
coming the center of their striving.
The powers that adjoin this ocean
are destined to be the actors in the
next drama of the world and the
Pacific the stage thereof. England
is the greatest of these powers.
This she owes to Canada and to her
possessions in the east. Russia is
destined to future greater than
England's present. France is max
ing desperate efforts to build up for
herself an Asiatic foothold in this
company. China's vast population
and wide territory make her another
factor in the problem. She may be
conquered and enslaved for years,
but the great vitality, the great in
dividuality, the exclusive cohesive
ness of her people, seem to destine
her to an ultimately independent
national existence. She must even
tually emerge from her position of
subJection and inferiority and be-
come one of the great nations of the
earth. Japan's role will be smaller
one, but the inherent identity of her
interests with China's must make
them allies against Europe in work
ing out their common destiny. In
the hands of these powers lies the
future of the Pacific, and the future
of the Pacific is the future of the
world
Our country cannot shut its eyes
to this condition. The people of
America, with rapidly increasing
population producing more than
they can consume, with an aggres-
sive character that brooks no oppo-
sition, with a coast line greater than
that of any power of Europe, dotted
with fiourishing cities, constitute a
factor in the future of the orient
that no apathy, no neglect, can be-
little. Whatever policy we may
have inherited as to entanglements
with European powers must be dis
carded here. The people of the
United States must not be content
| to see their neighbors to the west,
with their boundlcss potentialities
of trade, handed over, en- uncontest-
ed prize, to the ambitions of Eu-
rope. America may attempt to
evade the responsibility thrust upon
her. She may, with shortsighted
resolution, turn her face away from
her great future, but she will not
succeed. The markets of the orient
are the heritage of her merchants
and the time will inevitably come
when the voice of the republic will
be heard in oriental courts with the
same accent of authority as in the
commonwealth of South America.
1t will be we'll if the certainty of
this destiny could be recognized be-
fore European craftsmanship has
barred the way with vested inter
ests. CHARLES Denby, Jr., Secre-
tary of the United States Legation

ABLE SERMONS.


 The Rt Rev. Wm. M. Brown, the new Bishop Co-adjutor of Arkansas made his first visit to Pine Bluff Sunday As was previously an- nounced In our issues, he delivered three most able and instructive ser mons at the Episcopal church.

STAR CITY COURT.

Prosecuting Attorney W. B. Sor- rells and Circuit Judge A. B. Grace have returned from Star City where they have been holding court for the past two weeks.
 The docket was left clean, the first time in many years. Eight indict- ments were found at the present term of the grand jury. But only six convictions resulted.
 Something that has never been done in the history of Lincoln county was accomplished by MT, Sorrells at this last term of court. He collected S250, the amount of judgments on forfeited bail bonds.

The little town of Riaon, 22 miles southwest of Pine Bluff, was agoq with exei 'ement Sunday afternoon.
 The usual quietness of this peace. ful town was broken by a shooting scrape which was oecasioned, as usu al, by woman in the case. AlEthe partieitants were eolored.

 The negroes of Cleveland county are greatly excited over the affair and say they will lynch Brandon if he ever returns.
 Brandon's description is as fol. lows: Slick black in color, 5 feet ( inches high, thin moustache, A or 25 years old and has a piece bitten from his lower lip.

Clean the streets.
An Innnirer AnsWered.

Editor Graphie.-Is there any req son unknown to the public why the officials of the Light & Water Co are SC earnestly supporting one of the candidates for Mayor
 INQUIRER.
 The above inquiry comes from one Of our leading and most substantial citizens. The Graphic is unable t0 answer his queraY from it's own knowledge; we eau only exrlain the apparent interest of the officials of the Light $ Water Go. in the eandi- dacy of one of the candidates for Mayor in the manner it was ex- plained to the writer several days ago by one of the local stockholders and directors in the recently incors porated Pine Bluff Electric Light 85 Street Railway Go.
 His story runneth thus: "The P. B. Electric Light & Street Railway Go. has secured an option upon the plant of the Pine Bluff Light < Water Co.,, and if this option is con- summated it will throw the local officers and employees out of their jobs. Of course, the officials of the Light & Water Go. are not only anxious to defeat this option, but also competing light company. Mayor Bell has been most active in his efforts to secure a competing light company and Is the friend of the proposed Pine Bluff Electric Light & Street Railway Go. The promoters of this latter enterprise are doing everything possible to make it a go, but it takes tine for all things and may require some considerable time yet, Their option expires in June or July. Should they not be sue cessful by that time. they will ask an extension. And here comes in the danger from the Water and Light Co.,, went on our informa ant to point out. "If the Water 6 Light people get control of the Mayor or the council, they may pos sibly defeat the proposed new en- terprise, and they will be without opposition and Pine Bluff without electric cars for an indefinite peri cd.
 The above will probably answer the questions of Inquirer" The Graphic cannot speak from its own knowledge of the 'acts alleged in the above interview, but the lnforma- tion comes from one of our most re liable, substantial and progressive citizens, aud whatever he says is worthy of public attention.

Rob Roy and the Walker place were not the only hamlets that were visited by the cyclone Saturday. Reports are coming in one by one. and if it continues the damage in dollars will amount up to a very large sum.
 A railroad man came in from Wal nut Lake, a little town situated about 40 miles south of here on the Iron Mountain road, Sunday and said he arrived there with hi. freight train few minutes after the cyclone swept the place. The houses. he says, were all unroofed, several were blown down and while there only T short while it was apparent that some lives had been lost.
