ART CALENDARS
One of Pine Bluffs Productions Ae-
 quires Some Celebrity.

1900 that have attracted public at tention is Pine Bluff production, and it has acquired considerable ce- lebrlty. The design is entitled "LoYe and Jewels, and was fur. nished and printed by the Adams Wilson Printing Co.,, of this city, for Mr. E. D. Russell, also of this city.
 The fame of this little calendar came about in this way: Mir. Rus sell, who is secretary of the Com. mercial League as well as grain broker of this city, in looking oyer his corr spondence, came across a letter from the 'sIron Age" pub. lished in New York, and with charac teris tic enterprise he forwarded one of his calendars to this publication. The "Iron Age" made a brief mention of the calendar, cbaracteeizing It as one of the pret- tiest of the year.
 Subseq uently MT. Russell received request from Hardware, , also New York publication, fer caler- dar. 1t was promptly forwarded and Hardware. under the head of F"Calendars and Holiday Souvenirs, " in it's January issue made mention of same as follows:
 "E D. Russell, Pine Bluff, Ark. An artistic card calendar. with monthly sheets attached, the illus tration ornamenting which beiug a beautiful half-tone reproduction of the painting by Lefler, entitled Love or Jewels,' the fair one in the center of picture being embar- rassed by the necessary selection. ;"
 As result of the aboye notices Mr. Russell has received requests from many parts of the United States for his calendar. Some of these he was unable to comply with, but ih most instances he was. not, because his supply soon became exhausted.
 Among those requesting one of the calendars was Methodist min ister of Chicago, who enclosed his card, and who, tn the representa- tjons on the calendar-a girl hesi- tating between Hove and Jewels" will doubtless find subject for sermon.

NOVEL PLAN OF CAr1pAIGN.

This is veritahly an age of pro-
gress! Politicians are doing their
canvasslng on an entirely new plan,
and if successful, their modus
operandi of capturing votes will
be decidedly an improvement over
the stereotyped stump speeches,
tiresome Misunderstanding, and the
mock inquiries touching on the
welfare Of ones kinsfolk, to say
nothing of the distinctly enter
tanning novelty. Last week we
noted that Mr.. Tapp, of Kansas,
candidate for Congress, had an
nounced his determination to con-
duct his campaign "as Jesus would
do were He a candidate. The
truth, briefly told, is that Jesus
would not become a candidate.
But an Indiana candidate for Con-
gress, from Clark county. has risen
to the occasion in this never-ceas-
ing age, and proposes to convert
the "dear people" to his way of
thinking. Reuben DALEY is not
Republican of the Hoosier State,
neither is be Populist with a tin
horn, but he is a Democrat, and he
is going to bring the phonograph
into service. He has delivered into
the machine one of his best
speeches, and at each town in his
itinerary he will give phonograph
concert, to end with his speech.
He tried his scheme at Henryvllle
the other night, and the hall was
packed. A dispatch says: "Hls
political opponents are almost
paralyzed by the audcity of the
Innovation" At the concerts the
programme Is carried out thus :

STATE VERSUS THE RAILROADS.

The suit of the State of Missis-
sippi, through the ramificatlons
and instrumentality of its Revenue
Agent, to recover some million
dollars on back taxes against the
Illinois Central and other rail-
road companies, which claim ex-
emption by virtue of their respec-
tive charters and certain conces-
sions and inducements by the State
offered the railroad companies
should they cause certain improve
ments to be made, is attracting
more than ordinary interest, and
particularly since the Illinois Cen
trail Company Is seeking to COM
promise by paying $3.50, 200, which
is only about half its claimed in
debtedness. Many of the States
best and most influential news
papers are taking favorably to the
prOposition-blind to the demora-
izing aspect-indulging in the fam
cifuI opinion that the money would
come to the State Treasury at q
most opportune time, when the
building of a State Capitol was
about to be entered upon; and that
a compromise was always better
than a poor lawsuit. That the
litigants, as great and rich corpor-
ations, should pay the amounts
called for by additional assess
ments. when the State did promise
to exempt under certain condi-
tions, is apparently unfair, even if
the Inducements" have been
dubbed unconstitutional; and if
the lower courts have adjudicated
unfavorably to the State, that does
not make a reversal impossible, as
those of the newspapers which are
advocating the acceptance of a
compromise would make believe.
They go so far, when quoting "a
bird IN the hand is worth two in
the BUSH" as to say that three
quarters of Il million in cool cash
would be better than losing the
cause. If the taxes are just, then
why hesitate to carry the case to
the Supreme Court and collect the
immense amount of money due the
State? If unjust, then why ac-
cept the compromise? \ confess
sion of thieying and bribery could
not be palmer! And if Mlssis-
sippi should finally lose, paradox
cal as it may sound, the State
would have nothing to lose. no
costs to pay, and all to gain at
establishing the true situation. If
wrong, why not give the railroads
a chance?

that it can no longer be doubted
that "the American manufactures
is now more than able to compete
with his European rivals on their
own territory. He is underselliog
Euglishmen in England and
Egypt, Germans in Germany and
China, Russians in Russia and
Siberia, Frenchmen in France
underselling all the rest of the
world, in fact, in the worlds mar
kets.
And he is doing this at profit
while selling his products in for
eign lands at less price than Is
paid by the American buyer for
the same goods. He does this be-
cause the protective tariff in this
country enables him to overcharge
the American buyer with no fear
of loss of trade through compe-
tition. Under the shelter of this
protective tariff has been built
the American trust system, for
the further strengthening of mon
opoly in American markets.
"Why not abolish the protective
tariff, relieve the American people
from its unjust tax, and at the
same time starve out those trusts
fostered by the tariff? What reason
is there, beyond the further en-
riching of the syndicate, for It's
continuance"
Why the protective tariff?
Knock it out.

MISSISSIPPI INSURANCE BILL.
The Abbay Bill ueets Very Silent
Fate.

1t can be stated as an almost ab-
solutc certainty that there will be
no insurance legislation at the
present session of the State Legis-
latu~e. Notwithstanding the great
amount of time consumed by the
committees III considering insur-
ance measures.
Ten days ago all nope of getting
bill through the Lower House
was given up and the fight trans
fcrred TO the Senate. whore Mr..
Abbay had introduced, by request,
a fac simile of the substitute bill
which the House committee had
refused to Adopt.
Hon, G. NJ. Williamson, attor-
nev for the Southern Tariff As
sociation, appeared before the
Senate Judiciary committee in be-
half of the measure, making
lengthy argument. No action was
reported, and it Is now learned
from several members that the
bill will meet very silent fate by
not being returned. The session
IS drawing very nigh to close,
aud unless some very energetic
member offers an Insurance bill
That meets all requirements, and
by a series of lucky strokes man
ages to rush it through, the pres
ent statute laws ON the subject of
insurance will remain in force.

THE B0ER AND THE CIVIL WARS.
The Difference Between the Two Is
Pointed Ont

Correspondents are continually
drawing comparisons between the
struggle in South Africa. and our
civil war, says the Aberdeen Ex-
aminer. There is no parallel
whatever. The Beers are abun-
dainty supplied with ammunition
and military stores, and have en-
ough of the finest small arms and
the most approved machine guns
and field and siege pieces for every
everyman boy andcapable of par
ticipating and all the recruits who
may flock to their standard;
whereas the Confedcrates were
without modern arms Of any kind.
or artillery of any value except
what they captured. and started
in without enough ammunition to
fight single great battle.
Then again, it must be remem-
bered that the Beers are secure
from naval attack; whereas, it
was the Federal navy, and not its
army, that gave the Union victory
in the civil war. Had we Had no
sea coast or nayigabIe rivers, we
could not have been whipped in
thousand years. If the Mississip-
pi, Tennessee, James and other
rivers could have been obliterated,
and the waters of the Atlantic
and Gulf had not washed our
coasts beside our larger cities, the
Federal navy would have been
bIotted from the equation, and
we would have had things all our
own way.
The Union victory was naval
triumph and little else. The Fede-
raj navy governed and controlled
all of our dispositions and stra-
tegy. and we could make no plan
of campaign that did not take the
Union gun boats and SHIPS Of the
line into account.
If we had been as well fixed As
the Beers and our country as we'll
protected from naval attack, there
would have been no ApomatoX or
High Point.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Senator BradIey's Bill Aiming at
That Object.

The bill introduced in the Up
per House by Senator Bradley,
looking toward the Improvement
of the country roads in MissiS-
sippi, is being received with much
favorable comment.
The measure provides for a com
plete modification of the existing
road laws, other than those re-
pealed by the provisions of the
proposed act. In specific terms it
provides that all public roads Of
the first class shall be not less than
twenty-five feet wide, three feet
higher III the middle than on the
sides, and drained in a suitable
manner. All hills must be re-
duced 10 per cent. per annum by
grading. The roads shall be dl,
vided into convenient links, and
also into roads of the first and
second class, as at present. The
overseers are to be appointed a>
at present, and no change is made
in the manner of assigning hands
and property subject to road duty.
The measure makes it the duty
of the Board Of Supervisors to
employ a skilled roadmaster, and
suitable road machines shall b.
furnished, and all the neces, a~y
scrapers and tools provided to
properly work the roads, which
must be placed in a specified CON
dition at least once each year, and
to be kept in repair by the over
seer and road hands.
The bill provides that the road
master shall receive compensation
not to exceed ten dollars per
mile, to be paid by the county
only after the work has been in
spected and approved by the
Supervisor of the district in which
the work is performed. The
Supervisor is made the Inspector
of the roads IN his district; and in
counties which refuse to adopt the
plan the Board of Supervisors is
made responsible for their condi-
ton. The roadmaster and the
overseers are ehargeable with
their condition in counties where
the plan is adopted.
