We noticed in recent issue of
an administration paper that a
prominent politician was giving
some of the reasons for the pres
emit prosperity which is claimed
by that party. One of the reas-
ons was "that the great increase
in the amount of money in circu-
lation, caused by the national
banks issuing circulating med
ium, under the recent banking
act" Now, if this statement is
correct, our Populist friends
were correct several years ago
when they told us that is the cir
culating medium of the country
was increased that times would
be better. And how the Repub-
licans used to boot at this pet
theory of the Populists. We can
not help noticing these fellows
using the same argument them
selves. Very soon they will be

JUDGE MARTINS RESIGNATION

As was anticipated the big news item in Sundays issue of the Graphic, under the heading Crossing of Swords" created a great deal of com ment in Pine Bluff. and the interest in the matter was not confined to this city alone, but in Little Rock, the cap ital of the state. the paper was eager ly sought after. and every issue of 1t which went to that city was read by many people.
 In the talk that was indulged in there were various expressions on both sides of the case which the Graphic will not undertake to print, but will advance few conclusions of its own. as 1t is enabled to view the matter so far as the developments have been made in it.
 The Graphic is inclined to agree with County Clerk Bloom in some of the reasons he assigned for being op- posed to Mir Tripiett.s appointment.
 In the first place it is inclined to doubt that the resignation of Judge Martin, together with the request that MT. Triplett be appointed to the va eancy. was originally conceived by Judge Martin himself Of course he may have given his consent. but the fact that Judge Martins brother. Chancellor Thos. E. Martin. of Little Rock. was not advised with, and who, as the Graphic is informed, was very much opposed to the resignation of Judge Martin aud the appointment of Mr. Tripett. indicate strongly that Judge Martin is not the author of the movement and it feels that it is prac- tieally warranted in the assertion that he is now glad that the scheme did not go through
 The Graphic does not wish to be construed as championing the cause of any person in this matter and has no interest in it further than to see the wishes of the Democratic party respected. Judge Martin is still liv ing, and while he does live, the Graphic sees no reason for any undue haste in choosing his successor
 Of course. we make no protest

GRAPHIC LEADS THEM ALL

The big news item in Sundays Graphic with reference to the resie- nation Of County Judge Smith c. Mar tin. the request to appoint MT. c. H. Triplett to the vacancy, the request or Gov. Davis for a conference with County Clerk E. B. Bloom and Sheriff ii. A. Mccoy. and the subsequent Withdrawal of Judge Martins resigna- tlon' created great deal of comment III Pine Bluff, and the Graphic was eagerly sought after by the people of the city all day Sunday and today. Not only were the men anxious to read the story but there was also an active demand among the ladies for the paper. The item is also a high testimonial to the Graphic's facilities for handling big news item in credit able shape No other paper in the city could have handled so full a re. port of one item and then print all the other local news of the city in readable shape With the Graphic's linotype machine, no local news item IS too big for it to handle in a style that no other newspaper in the city can at all approach.
 The Graphic has received scores ot compliments from it's friends on ac count of it's attractive Sunday issua

against his successors donating the salary of the uneXpired term to Mrs. Martin and her children, and if his successor should do so, it would cer. tainly be a noble act of charity de serving the highest commendation. However, whenever it becomes nec- to be appointed, let the Democrats of Jefferson county be heard from in mass convention or otherwise Gov Davis should not be placed in the at- titude of appointing anybody who Is not the expressed choice of the De- mocracy of this county. That choice, when the proper time comes, may be MT. Triplett, and it may not be- There is one thing certain, however, that even though MT. Triplett might be the unanimous choice of the Democracy of Jefferson county there is no doubt but what there would be strong pro- test against any star chamber pro- ceedings in the matter, and the party will not be satisfied with anything less than an opportunity to have free and full expression. If that be done, and MT. Triplett is the choice of the party, then the Graphic has no ob- jection to offer
 The Graphic desires to commend Gov Davis for declining to appoint MT Triplett or anybody else to sue ceed Judge Martin as judge of the lief ferson county court without first making an effort to get a fuller ex pression from the Democrats here than could be had from those only who were directly interested in the appointment
 It also desires to commend Judge Martin for withdrawing his resigna. tion, and it believes that it is to his own best interests to continue in the office until removed by death or expi. ration of his term

long circular letter to about four hun- , dred publishers of newspapers and pc riodicals asking this question:
 Tn the judgment of those address ed, will department rule be regarded as injurious to legitimate newspapers and periodicals which will stop abso- rect or indirect, and of whatever char acter for subscriptions?
 In other words after publisher has fixed a price on his publication any bonus or premium given to the subscriber or any combination with another thing, except a seeond-class publication shall vitate that subscrip- tion in it's relation to the second-class rates of postage"
 MT. Madden adds: Tt is believed that such rule as that proposed will be of direct benefit to legitimate jour- nalism and that in a large measure 1t will check this draft upon the public
  treasury for private advantage, with no compensating public benefit, though the elimination of an inn mense number of publications which are wholly sustained in their second class status by patronage induced by some extraneous thing, in conflict l,,,:x consummation has much of promise in the direction of better postal facil- ities and cheaper rates for other classes of mail matter"
 The circular asserts that the loss of revenue to the government from the abuses of the privileges of second class matter is between $15,O00 .OOO and s25, 5,000,000 year.

AS there is practically no limit to
the mineral wealth of this country,
there can be no bounds set to the pros
porous activity based on that wealth.
says contemporary. In agriculture
a bad season or stagnant market
brings disaster: the best mercantile
business is constantly menaced by
competition: manufactures are keenly
sensitive to market fluctuations, econo-
mic conditions and financial temper,
while the gold of the mountains is
eternal with wealth that carries no
fuctuating value, the gaining of which
enriches all and robs none save nature
Natures bank has stood since the
world stood: no run on it has ever
shaken it: the crash OF falling empires
leaves it undisturbed and it always
pays rich dividends to those fortunate
enough to hold shares in its bank.

1t is a common mistake to assume
that economy requires or justifies the
payment OF inadequate wages or salar-
les. 1t is true economy to see that
competent men are employed in every
department of mining and metallur-
gical work, and that they be paid ac-
cordingly. 1t has long been quoted
that ''the laborer is worthy of his
hire" He certainly is, in more ways
than one: he very soon becomes
worthy" of it, and of no more. For
the man who finds that his employer
values his services at less than they
are really worth, or can be made
worth, is likely, if he cannot get such
valuation, to agree herewith, and give
him only the service in amount and
quality for which he is paid.

There is nothing better than a pay
ing mine, but it should not be forgot
ten that it takes money and labor to
secure such. Even if a man is for
tunate enough to find pay ore at grass
roots, it nevertheless requires con-
siderable capital to put such claim
in condition to produce cheanly, and a
person is indeed lucky if he secures u
property that will produce enough ore
to pay for its development as he goes
