ONWARD AND UPWARD.

The Stuttgart Republican has the
following kind words for Pine
Bluff:
The enterprlsiug citizens of our
sister city, Pine Bluff, is worthy
of emulation and an object lesson to
our Stuttgart people. She has just
donated 40 acres of valuable land
and subscribed $4,000 to secure an
immense timber plant from Wiscon-
sin. In addition to the above enter.
prise, already secured, her citizens
are negotiating for the location
within her borders of a mammoth
factory for manufacturing upon an
immense scale, wind mills and every
variety of farming implements, aud
the successful closing of the latter
is almost assured.
The city of Pine Bluff has, within
a few years, grown from a stray
Cling town Of a few hundred fever
stricken, ague shaken, malaria.tinte ted
inhabitants, to fourising, healthy,
prosperous city Of nearly fifteen
thousand population, and is now one
of the healthiest localities possible
on the Arkansas river.
Thanks, Bro. Scotland. Pine
Bluff has come to realize the many
advantages which are hers, and
heneeforth her ways are to lead
onward and upward.

WHY LONGER WAIT?

WHY LONGER W4I72
The citizens of Pine Bluff, for
some little time, have had propo-
sition before them claiming their
attention and awaiting their action.
Thisis the proposition of Lamb &
Company, Of Freeport, Ill. to put
in and operate manufacturing
plant here. howard this PROPOSE,
ton our citizens have been and are
very faVorablY inclined, but it has
oeen deemed best. to rid the Jty of
other previods business before TAX
Ning any active steps in the matter
feferred to. The Austin & Sawyer
mill ard railroad and the electric
street railway project claimed
priority TO the Lamb & Com
pany enterprise. The Austin
& Sawyer mill aud railroad have
been secured. There is virtually
nothing more to be done regarding
these enterprises. The electric street
railway SO far as the present fran
chise is concerned, has proved a
failure, aud signal failure
at that. It has reached the
end of its tether, ard Pine Bluff
now should shake herself free from
all and any .encpmbrances and ohH-
cations (virtualY she is under no
obligations now, nor has she been
for sometime) which have been
thrown around and placed upon her
by and in this matter. 1t has been
very evident sometime that :here
was nothing in this project of Mr..
Wood aad bis compay for Pine
Bluff, then why waste valuable
time and expend useless effort with
a dead issue? Better turn our at.
tention to something plausible
something beneficial. Let the street
car project 90 to hades, or some
other warm country, for the
present and let's garner TIE grain
that is now ripe for reaping. #
Pine Bluff has to pay for building
street railway, she has people right
here who are capable Of constructing
ard operating the same, and this is
what should be done. No services
from on the outside are needed.
Now, to our point. Lamb & Com

family had lived for years in close con-
tact with English civilization The
daughters had been partially educated

sons had received such private tuition

with his wagon to Port Elizabeth, one
of the oxen had given out and lain
down. 1t is a trick a South African OK
is sometimes guilty of when the sur

there are times when he does it through

Redistrict the City.

The suggestion that Ogden City
should be redistricted under the Aus
tralian ballot law seems to be a good
one. Under the law the maximum
number of voters in each district is
$780, but an examination of the books
yesterday revealed the astonishing fact
that in no less than three of the CEN
trail districts the number exceeds 500
In the Sixth precinct of the Second
ward there are 591 voters registered:
two or three others exceed 500, and
there are no less than ten that will go
over 400
The above figures would Indicate that
a change in the boundaries of the dis
tricts is imperative. Already the heavy
registration in these precincts has
caused the impression to go out that
there has been much fraud and decep-
ton practiced to swell the rolls. If the
number in each precinct was kept
within the boundaries prescribed by
law fraud would be less frequent and

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
Republican Campaign Canard
Promptly Refuted.

In order to counteract the popularity
OF NJ. S. Browning, the Republicans,
driven to desperation, have been en-
deavoring to circulate reports that he
vas pledged to appoint this or that
candidate for Office in case of his cleo
ton to the mayoralty. These reports
have been proven without foundation
IN every instance. and ii may be posi-
lively asserted that Mr.. Browning has
not pledged himself to any man. An
other one of the Republican campaign
canards was punctured yesterday by
the following statement
Editor Standard: In the Republican
editorial "squibS" last evening, it is
charged that am candidate for chief
OF police. This is absolutely false. 1
am not, and will not be a candidate for
this or any cither city office, either be-
fore or after election.
The statement that / am a relative
''or kim of the Brownings is just as
true as the first assertion. and makes
the whole thing ridiculously funny, es-
pecially in this community, where we
are all so universally known. Yours,

AfkanderS Hatred of BritOn Dates From Suppression of
Slavery Early in Century-Pen Pictures of the
Home Life of This Primitive People
Entertaining Incidents.

In reviewing the existing difficulty
between the British government and the
Jransvaal Beers it should be borne in
mind that the Beers have for several
generations considered Englishmen as
hereditary enemies, and that in conse-
quence of this feeling they are eager
TO oppose any suggestions emanating
from the British authorities, no matter
how rational or applicable to the ext
gencies of the moment such sugges-
tons laay be.
This traditional antipathy to Great
Britain has been handed down from
father to son for many years, until il
has now become inherently part and
parcel OF the Transvaal and Orange
Free State Beers nature. To trace its
origin, it is necessary to go back to the
early part of the present century, when
the British government ordered the
