 PINE BLUFF, ARK. Apr. D. A social event of unusual impor- tanee was the marriage this after noon at the Main Street Methodist church, when MT. George ]. Vim ing and Miss Maggie Rutledge were joined in the bonds of we'd lock. A large crowd witnessed the nuptials, those present repre- senting the most fashionable ele- ment of Pine Bluff society. The altar was made most pleasing to the eye by decorations of cut flowers and potted plants. Men delessohn's Wedding March was played by Mrs. Adine T. Owen, d talented musician, as the bridal party entered the church. The bridal party entered in the follow ing order: Messrs. John AleXan- der and Drew White, Fred Niaing and Will Hunt, ushers; maids of honor, Misses Nell Collier and Eddie Rutledge, accompanied res peetively by Messrs. Joe Nicol and and Edward Saunders, ushers. The bride and groom followed The ceremony was most impress lively performed by the church s pastor, Rev. James A. Anderson. The bride and groom left on the afternoon train over the Valley Route forfpoints North and East.

Vining, who was reared in this city, is an enterprising, relia- ble young man, and well merits the high regard in which he is uni versally held.

THE CUBAN DANCE.

The Cuban dance is a peculiar one when viewed through Ameri- can eyes, for it is totally differ ent from any of our dances. There is only the one step, and that one is a sort of mixture of Indian, Turkish and Chinese The couple rarely use more than three or four square feet space, and dance continually, with lit tie short intermissions of possi- ply fifteen seconds, during which they merely stand in their places and rest. Two orchestras play continually, one taking up the music as the other ceases. The music is almost identical with some that have heard at dances of our Indian tribes in Arizona and New Mexico, except that there is the continual blare of a cornet. They use tom-toms, ket- tie drums and some weird gourd- like affair that they beat most vigorously, emitting sound quite as musical as a boy would make with barrel stave as he ran along a picket fence.-Les- lies Weekly.

The .onesboro Sun says: The sermon delivered at the Baptist church Sunday at II o'clock by Rev. C. w. Daniel, pastor of the Frst Baptist church at Pine Bluff, was masterly effort of Christian Duty, his text being "So far as in me is, am ready,o and with a poetic flow of language and a voice full of feeling he told his hearers what duty was theirs to their Masters cause and our own obli- gations to all tribes of the earth. He closed this discourse with an original poem on Faith that was a fitting climax to a magnificent sermon. He preached again in the evening and took the s 40 train for Pine Bluff, where he and our Elder A. $. Petite are conducting a successful revival.

THE BREAK BEGINNING

To q certain extent the retire ment from public life of Mr. Reed | the protests of thought ful fragment of the Republican party against President Mckinley policy of expansion and imperial ism as now being illustrated m the Philippines.
 MT. Reed seems to be hopeless of a change of this policy in the near future. His opposition to the conquest of the Philippines, following the costly purchase of yellow boys" who refused to be de livered by Spain to the United States as per contract, has placed him in such antagonism to the ad- ministration that he cannot see consistent way to continue in Con gress and again accept the Speak ership of the house as d RePubll- can leader. So he retires from politics-a strong figure, not with out following in his section ot the Union.
 The Democratic party's pro- nouncement against a policy of eX- pansion which shall cause this Government to acquire territory in the Eastern Hemisphere, to de- ny the American principle of the right of self-government and to re- pudiate the Monroe Doctrine, ap- peals to the sober sense and Amerl- canism of all true Americans. It will weld the Democratic party in to the most compact organization yet possible. It is, indeed, so faithful to the best spirit and tra- ditions of this government as to merit the support of all opponents of imperialism, regardless of party lines. The Republican party is committed irreyocably to this dan gerous policy. It is to Democracy alone that the people must look for a return to consistent America nism.
 In driving Tom Reed from pub lie life MT. Mckinley has no' strengthened himself. In rashly embarking upon career of land grabbing and conquest in the ia East he has endangered the per petuity of American principles an( lowered his country in the estima ton of the world. The peopl have yet to render a verdict upol the President policy.-Republic

ARKANSAS STATE CAPITOL.

Arkansas is to follow the ex- ample set by her sister state, Tex as, and build a splendid capitol. The bill authorizing the erection of new and magnificent home for its legislators and other officers of the State government was enact last week.
 The location of the new structure is to lie on the site of the present penitentiary, which will be torn down and removed for the pur- pose of of giving place to the cap itol. The grounds will be beauti- fled and made fit setting for the architectural triumph which it is proposed to make of the new State house.
 Thus does Arkansas keep step with the most enterprising among her sister states in the procession of progress. Nature has lowered her with fertile fields, stately for ests and mineral wealth. There are enterprising men to develop and utilize these treasures. Itis but thata domain like this should have temple for its lawmakers in keeping with the grandeur and multiform interests for whose up building they are called upon to legislate.-Republic,

Hopkins of Illinois looms up as the Western candidate whose chances at present appear most favorable. Should the contest, as is unlikely. be conducted on sectionallines and narrow down to him and Sherman, he has an excellent chance to win, there being many more Republican representatives from the Westsin the present Congress than from the Eastern States.
 As the next Speaker is expect ed to be in thorough accord with the administration, Mir. McKin- ley's influence will probably be the determining factor in the se- lection.-Republic.

timber lands and the farm lands along the bayou and were very much impressed with the pros poets for the road which our people have long desired, and they have so stated to q number of our business men.
 We have been informed that these gentlemen have submitted proposition, about as follows: They will build a road from Pine Bluff along Bayou Bartholo- new in the direction of Star City a distance of about 25 miles; provided that when the road is completed, is fully equipped and in operation our citizens will take $50, ,00O, or $2,OOO per mile, of the first mortgage bonds of said road, the bonds to run thir- ty years. And there shall not be more than 6,500 in bonds is- sued per mile. This sum repre- sents the actual cost of con- structing and equipping a. first class standard gauge road, and one that will be capable of do- ing business on such a line.
 Now 1t will be observed that Mir. McCarty does not ask any bonus or subscription at all, nor shall our people take the bonds until the road is actually com pleted and in operation. The only requirements is that our peo- pie agree to subscribe for $50,- 900 in bonds now, and that they be paid for when the road IS built and is hauling passen- gers and freight along the line. It is also understood that Mir. MeCarty will begin work on the road in thirty days after the bond subscription is complete.
 We need not commenta at length upon the advantages such a road would be to Pine Bluff. It would be run entirely in the in terests of this city. The mere building of the road will start about $50 900 or $200,00O of new money in circulatio here, giving employment to 15O to 200 After that there wonld be the regular pay rolls of the road men, and of the shop men, as the company would establish it's shops here. The timber which would be rendered acces- sible would bring tie, stave and other factories here. This terri tory is free from overflow, and consequently the farming inter ests would be greatly developed. It IS one of the richest territories that is tributary to Pine Bluff, and we sincerel Y trust the pro- iect will succeed, and this great stimulous be added to Pine Bluff trade. '-P. B. Commercial
 Itmight be well for Monticello business men to get in communi- cation with the above named railroad men and. i'll the event the road IS built from Pine Puff to Star City, see if it could not be built on down to Monticello? This is the road our people need and long have wanted. Perhaps the opportunity to get it is near at hand. To say the least 1t will do no harm to make the eff fort.
