No one, at least no considerable num-
Der Of the American people, have ever
argued that great majority, loyal and
anxious for the Americans to govern
them should be turned over to the
mercy of the insurgents. What has
been claimed is that the people there
should receive the assurance that it
was not the purpose of the United
! States to subjugate them, but that
/ they should have the right Of self-gov-
eminent as soon as it could fairly and
reasonably be brought about.
OF necessity. as in the case of Cuba,
= this would have required military &C.
cupation by the United States long
enough to insure full and fair express
! sion OF The wishes of the people. Had
steps been taken looking to this end
! Agulnaldo or any Other leaders ami
| mated by Sinister ambitions" who en-
! teaVOred to trample upon the rights Of
the great majority, could have been
! Squelched without ceremony, and very
few Americans, if any, would have
been found to enter word of protest
An administration that has never
contemplated giving the ITilipinos self
! government at all, is in no position to
talk about the sinister ambition of

MULTIPLYING FAMILY
One That Has No ual..Anywhere-
 Wonderful Married Career.

Much has been said and written about the awful health and many deaths in this section of Arkansas, until, with some people, the men, tion of this vicinity is associated with the thought of malaria in so fragrant type as to suggest some grim monster constantly deyouring all who come under the influence of his presence. Many incidences could be cite to prove thls idea er- oneous the more prominent of which is the family of Mr. Ben Par nell, of Parnell Springs, a few miles from this city.
 Mir. Parnell is 87 years old, and his wife is 84; Both are in excellent health. and the parents ot 13 chil- dren, 7 men and ' women. Mir. and Mrs. Parnell's grandchildren, number 125. The great grapdchil- dren, number %. The direct de- cendants ages range between 31 and 52 years; the grand childrens' between ? ond 35 years; the great grandchildrens' between l and years.
 Of all this large family only one member resides outside of Arkan- sas. The health of all, from sire to SOD, has been excel lent, and during the en+ile career of MT. and Mrs. Bep Parnell, the deeth of only one decendant had occurred

AN OUTRAGE UPON
JUSTICE AND HUMANITY

JC1SIICE AlND 1T -u1SiA
 The news that court-martial sit ting at Rennes, France, had agair found the poor unfortunate Captain Alfred Dreyfus guilty and sentenced him to ten years Imprisonment, will be received by the whole civilized world with pity and shame.
 Pity for the poor, unfortunate man who vas tried by set ol scoundrels and narrow-mlnded vii ians, who were, during tbe entire course of the trial, blind to every sense of reason and justice. If Jus, tice was properly meted out, every officer, who composed the court, would have received the sentence, that they so dishonorably decreed that Dreyfus should suffer.
 Americans, who love justice and despise treacbery, who demand fair play for each and every individual, can on.y denounce the highhanded outrage as trayersity upon jus. tiee and shame upon the people, If they should be termed as such, of France, that will never be forgot ten. gain we liberty loving peo- pie can fully appreciate the emblem of our country May the people of France learn the teachings of the grand American eagle-"liberty and iu ,tice. Instead of the civili- zation of the Philippines, instead of the missionaries going among the savages. there is work nearer home. Go to France, and there in struct those poor deluded inhuman judges in the first law of God and man, that of justice.
 France of old, is no more coun- try when once honor was the high est ideal of her countrymen, 'tis now controlled by the officers of the army; who will stop at nothing short of murder to maintain their supremacy.

DIRECT TO BENTON
The Pine Bluff < Western Road
 Will Not Stop at Sheridan

We have been reliably informed, by one who is in close communica- tion with the officials of the Pine Bluff < Western Railway Co.,, that that corporation viii not make Sher- idan terminus for that road, but will build on to Fentou.
 1t was at first given out, and it is still the impression that the compa- ny will only build thirteen miles of road at first, thus making it con venient for them 10 transport lum- Der to their plant lr this city, and at the sane time accommodate the travelling fraternity of that sec, tion. A prominent merchant and planter of Sheridan, who was in the city recently informed us that the road would be completed to Sherl- dau this year and the construction will be ontinued to Benton without delay.
 If this is done 1t will be very bene- fcial to Pine Bluff and our citizens would soon notice the wonderful de- velopment that would result. 1t would also throw this city into di rect connection with the Choctow and Men phis, and undoubtedly cheaper freight rates would be the outcome.

NACRIFIGE.
SuprenacY 

Itis generally understood through out the civilized world that Dreyfus, though innocent, was convicted in order to protect the names and DO sitions of men who are today promi nent in the public life of France.
 If Ereyfus had been found not guilty by tbe court-martial the people of France would have de- manded a searching investigation, and where would the blow have fallen.
 Men that were most prominently connected with the prosecution would be the first upon whom sus- picion would fall. Those who have kept themselves we'll informed upon the evidence adduced at the trial, cannot but believe that Generals Eercier, Roget aud Paty du Clam could enligt ten the world upon the inside workings of tie Bordereau, if they were not themselves in dire dread of the consequences. II u Q Judges believed Dreyfus guilty of betraying the secrets of his country, of being a traitor of the most con- temptible kind, why such sen tence? If guilty, he deserves life Imprisonment (generaily meted out to political prisoners in France, far crimes of much less importance) II not guilty, why this sentence of en years Imprisonment that in its9f + convincing that this couri-nar5l,t, Il, presided over bv presideuf who was so bind to justice tha evtda offered by Dreyfus' attoroeys vas ruled out without the sIig les tancy, while admittiTy fne sam kind of evidence the pros GU on in Sroduced, were as wei aw
