 NESS MEN.
WILL LOCATE IN THIS CITY
Asks No Bonus, But Will Sell Seven Per Cent of the Preferred
 Stock.

A most liberal proposition has been offered the business men of this city by Mir. B. L. Funk, a represen- tatiye of Lamb & Company, of Free port, H., manufacturers of wind mills, pumps, tarks, water supply goods and grinding mills. It is as follows:
 In the matter o. relocation and reorganization of Lamb & Go. ct al, whom represent, after looking over the natural advantages of Pine Bluff and conferring with a number of your business men, I am led to make them the following special proposition, viz: To incorporate un- der tte laws of your State with capital stock of $40, 900, your people to subscribe in cash toward the cap- ital stock $20,O with the option of taking 7 per cent preferred stock should you so desire.
 Lamb & Co. to move tnls plant and business to Pine Bluff, includ ing the Bartlett Corn and Cotton Seed Planters and Universal Seeder, all of which IS to be assigned and sold to the new company, including the contract with r. Bartlett Lamb ct al. to receive therefor $20, 900 worth of stock in the new company
 Your people to have three diree- tors, including the treasurersh.p and franoial management of the new company. Lamb and others to have three directors. Mir. Lamb In conjunction with business manager to have charge of the buying and general charge of the selling. MT. Bartlett to be superintendent of the manufacturing department.
 Your people after stock is SUD- serioed to have the option of dele- gatng committee to Investigate and report on the plant and business of Lamb & Co ct al before closing final arrangements.
 The company will also move to this city the Bartlett Seed Planters and Universal Seeder Factory, which is now stationed at Moleen, III. The two combined plants will employ 100 men in the be- ginning, but later they will increase their help to 800 in number. Mr. Fulk asks for no bonus.
 Secretary J. B. Johnson, of the Merchants Exchange, and President Fox, of thh Commercial League, will doubtless appoint committees to test the business men on the matter Tuesday.

by the presidents order that ordinary

league says that the immediate effects

estimated, over 10000. 1t removes 1868

DOUBLE BOYCOTT.

There is a curious row going on in
New York that people outside of the
city hear little about. The Evening
Post was largely instrumental in pro-
curing material notifications of the
treasury rules relating to the inspection
of baggage of incoming transatlantic
passengers by custom house officials,
and now it is paying the penalty for its
activity. Large retail houses were so
deeply incensed at its course, that they
have agreed to boycott the Post by TAX
ing away their advertisements. The
fact was of course duly published, and
now the shoppers have adopted the
newspapers suggestion and begun to
boycott the boycotters. The Post de-
votes about two columns a day to let
ters inquiring for names of the boycott
ting firms, and promising to withdraw
their trade from them, and to copies of
letters sent to these houses closing up
accounts and refusing to do further
business with them.
1t so happened that political lines
were not drawn in the baggage nuis-
ance agitation, for influential repub-
licans Joined in the protest and helped
get the rules changed. But aside from
the primary cause Of the trouble, a
larger question is now involved, and
that is the freedom of the press. How
ever widely newspapers may differ with
the Evening Post in other details of
policy, there will be no disagreement as
to the broad principle that a newspaper
should be allowed full latitude, within
the limits of truth, morality and the
public welfare, in the expression of
opinion, the choice of news and other
matters which it publishes, and in the
general conduct of it's own business
The boycott has never found favor with
! the American people, and it is not like
ly to prevail in the present instance
In time, most, if not all, of the adver-
| Users, may be expected back in their
old places, and in fact some of them
already appear to have returned.

The proposal to start weekly pa
per in Boston to stimulate interest in
she cars peace congress is a natural
Outgrowth of the weekly meetings that
have been held in that city. Similar
meetings have been held or projected
in Chicago and other American cities,
but it is in England that the keenest
interest is taken in the movement to
restrict national ornaments. Without
regard to the probability or improba-
bility of important results being ac-
complished by the conference at The
Hague, it is instructive to note the
fervOr with which the movement has
been pushed in Great Britain.
There have been meetings in
churches and public halls devoted ex-
pressly to the cause. and early in jan
uary Mr.. William T. Stead began the
publication of a weekly paper in Lon
don, to arouse the people and keep
them informed on the subject War
against War. a Chronicle of the Inter
national Crusade OF Peace" is the title
of the sheet, and glance at a copy of
it shows that the energetic editor has
lost none of his talent for agitation
and for making others contribute to
his enterprise. John Morley, Max
NOrdau, Lord Roseberry, Ouida, Bjorn-
stjerne Bjornsen. Sarah Grand, Grant
Allen and a variety of bishops. earls
and countesses are included among the
writer's in the issue here OuOted

message: THE car is ready to dis
arm; | am ready to disarm Collect
the others; it should not be much of a
task now" The distinguished humor-
list also contributes a half column arti-
Gle in characteristic vein.
The dissemination of literature deal
ing with universal peace and the es-
adjustment of a permanent interna-
tional court of arbitration, whose de-
cisions should have the force of law
because backed by the power of the
leading nations, is another method of
agitation. The number of works writ
ten by authors of repute on this sub
ject is surprising to any one who has
not looked into it from the stand
point of photography.
Skeptical as everybody is concerning
the net results of the congress, even
for effecting a reduction of ornaments,
the ear has secured for himself a
unique place in history as the first
monarch to seriously propose such a
reform. So far as his sincerity is con-
cerned, it matters not if he has been
brought to take this stand by a realiza-
ton of the burden of militarism. He
he is the first to point out a remedy,
the effects of which would be as bene-
ficent to rival nations as to Russia.
