the responsibility for the choice of the people will have no just grounds upon which to base a complaint, but if the will of the voters is set aside, and the city's officers are not the choice of the people, but the choice of cotere of ballot box suffers and political tricksters, then will there be ample cause for protest.
 If the officers appointed to hold the election perform the service, the Graphic believes that there will be no cause for complaint, but there is a rumor to the effect that several of these officers are not going to serve, and that their places will be filled at the last moment by overzealous par tisans who care more for the cause of their candidate than for common hon. esty or the right of a free people to have their ballots counted as cast. If this report be true, then in the name of the honest people of Pine Bluff who desire absolute fairness and honesty in elections the Graphic protests. We have had enough of disgraceful cleo tion frauds in the past and for the sake of the reputation of our people, there should be no more of it. The Graphic appeals to the gentlemen ap- pointed to be election judges to serve and to perform their duty with abso- lute fairness and impartiality to every candidate. This much the election of ficers owe themselves and their com munity The Graphic is not the parti san of any candidate and has no in- terest in the election other than that of all good citizens, and that is for an honest ballot and a fair count and may the best man win. The voters should insist upon the rigid enforce ment of this policy for the sake of good government and should accept nothing less, either in the approach ing city or any other election

city the best administration possible under the circumstances.
 During Mayor Whites administra- ton the city installed an electric light plant, sewer system and paved many of it's public thoroughfares Some of these contracts have been pronounced ~burdensome," but it must be remembered that at the time the contracts were made Pine Bluff had a population of about only 900, make the contracts then as they were recently to award a lighting contract for a street railway. It has also been urged by certain newspaper "organs" that gambling was permitted and that the town was wide open" during Mayor Whites regimes, but the same criticism can be passed against any and every succeeding administration ln which respect no one was any bet ter or any worse than any other, in- cluding even the present city admin istration, under which the gambling houses and saloons have been run wide open on Sunday and every day and night during the week until they were closed up just week ago by the passage of rigid anti-gamblng law by the legislature.
 As for ex-Mayor Bell, during his two administrations, he made the city an able and progressive mayor with the courage to carry out his convic- tions. He will be remembered and commended for his brave stand against the social evil" and his wig orous enforcement of the laws against the same, for which he was heartily maligned and condemned by one of the organs that now supports him. During his last administration Mayor Bell devoted his energies to an effort to secure an electric street railway for the city, and although not success ful, the fault was due to no lack of energy or enterprise on his part. He was at all times alert to the city's in tercst, ever progressive and fearless in the discharge of the duties that de voived upon him. and gave the city an administration that will compare most creditably with any that preced- ed or has followed it.
 In view of the public records of the two aspirants for mayor therefore. the voter will make no mistake next Tuesday whether his ballot be cast for Gen White or ex-Mayor Bell What the voter should be careful about is to see that it is an honest election and that every ballot is voted as desired and counted as cast. Then there Will be no cause for complaint from any quarter.

NYe Mine Robbed.

The Bill Nye mine on Calls Creek,
four miles South OF Gold Hill, owned by
Nye & Workman Of Medford, has been
robbed Of ore, the value OF which was un-
doubtedly over 5000. The loss was
discovered the fore part OF this week but
there Is no way of obtaining the exact
amount that has been extracted from
the tunnel. The mine was not being
worked but was secuerly locked. The
robbers were well prepared to execute
the deed and an immense amount OF very
rich ore was easily within reach when
the tunnel had once been entered. The
loss was not discovered until day or
so after the robbery, giving the perpe-
traitors ample time to cover up any clue.
A trail OF ore was followed for mile
down the creek, this dropping from a
sack as it was carried away. Here all
evidence comes to an end and as yet
nothing further has been found on which
to work.
The owners Of the property offer a re-
ward Of 81 900 for the capture and con-
viction OF the robbers.-Town Talk.
