TOUCH OF HIGH LIFE.

Although there is supposed to be
no politics in the District of Column
bia, those people are given a choice
every four years to indulge in a lit
tie political excitement, Just for the
sake of letting them know, we sup
pose, that they are living. Mr..
Curtis, in the Chicago Record, says:
"The democrats of the District
of Columbia are just now induIging
in a political campaign which takes
place once in four years and excites
all the more passion and prejudice
because of the long interval. The
only chance the people of the dis
trict ever have to vote is at the pri-
maries to select two delegates to
the national conventions. There
are always large number of can
didates. The fight begins early aud
becomes very hot. There is no diff
ference between the republicans and
democrats in this respect. The
former held their primaries and
elected their delegates, white man
and a colored man, several weeks
ago, after long and bitter strug'
gle. There was no principle at
stake. All the candidates were tor
Mckinley, but they were willing tc
fight hard for the privilege and
honor of attending the convention,
The democrats are even more excl
ted. They will elect two delegates
to the Kansas City convention. j.
W. Norris, treasurer of the demo
cratic national convention, who is a
kind of democratic boss here, is one
of the candidates, as usual, and the
entire field is against him because
his loyalty to Mr.. Bryan has beer
questioned. There are mass meet
ings every night, professions ant
parades, and a great deal of money
is being expended. At the polls
frauds are expected, and the vari
GUS candidates are hustling to gel
out all their friends. There will bt
a good many broken heads during
the next twenty-four hours"

Major ]. 7. W. TIllar of Little
Rock, has placed proposition be-
fore the Pine Bluff people in which
he proposes to give Pine Bluff an
opera house. He owns a couple of
brick stores, and effers to turn them
into an opera house by building
higher walls and fitting up a first
class opera house if the city will
give him a bonus of 5000. In ad-
dition to this he offers an admission
ticket TO each $500 subscribed to
the bonus. Mr.. w. G. Hardin of
our city is more liberal than this
He has offered to build a house, in
fact it is under construction and
he offers the people all the stock in
the same they want in any sum
from $1,000 to $4,000, the house to
cost not less than $25, 600. We are
pleased to say that he has disposed
of some shares but not as many as
he should, Our citizens should be
more liberal in taking stock in an
enterprise of this kind.
