THE NEXT SPEAKER.

Craighead county is going to place in nomination for speaker of the next general assembly that sterling young democrat, the Hon. Will W. Cate. He will be hard man to defeat. He served with distinction in the house when mere youth, brought honor to himself and county, and this honor of the speakership could not fall on more worthy or capable shoulders Jones boro Enterprise.
 There, you've spoiled our slate. We were just fixing to nominate the 'Red Fox" from Greene for the speakership. But,
 ssWe never had a piece of bread,
 Particularly brown and wide,
 But that it fell upon the ground,
 And always on the buttered side.'
 And Jonesboron only wants to gobble up all the pie but she would growl like pet spaniel if Paragould should even want hard crust.
 Now our little sis needs something to keep up her reputation and she ought to be satisfied with a circuit judge and con- gressman, but she aint; she wants the speakership of the house, the sergeant-at- arms of the senate, or anything else that may be in sight or lying around loose.
 Will Cate is bright young fellow and is level headed, while the gentleman from Greene is man of superior ability and is red-headed. Still if you think your man Is best deserving of the place, needs 1t dofs And is most capable of filling 3ass- 20 ahead with your rat killing and we'll zee you later.
 We are sure that there Is one privilege you will grant us without outcomplaining and that is to vote for your man. We never knew you to kick on that. Your candi- dates are as sweet on us as 'lasses on summer fly when they want our votes.
 So just tell Willie if he is going to per- sist in bis perversity to go on and run, and to run hard and long and strong and we'll vote for him-Marion will. This will make Jonesboro smile and we love to see her smile occasionally, she's generally so sour, chasing sour grapes and drinking "scur mash"
 And Judge Rains, bless him, what good soul he is. He deserves something for the big fight he made for Clarke and Davis and the judge is generally after something when there is something in sight. He is red headed too, and would make good sergeant-at-arms for the senate or a good most-anything the senate wants.
 For the speakership Greene can put up as gsod material as there is in the state the best in Northeast Arkansas. But let that pass. Cut your cards, Jonesboro

BRYAN AND HILL

1t is evident that David B. Hill, the
Democratic leader of New York. has
an implacabe enemy in William j.
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan knows of course
that he will not be nominated by his
party for President in 1904, and he
seems determined that Mr.. Hill shall
not be- 1t is a question if he would
favor Mr., Hills nomination if he felt
certain that he was the only man in
the Democratic party who could be
elected.
There are two things which make
Mr.. Bryan Mr.. HIPS enemy The first
is that Mr.. Bryan is determined that
there shall be a declaration for the free
coinage of silver in the next national
platform of the party. and the other
is that Mr.. Hill did not give him a
hearty support in either 1896 or in 1900.
Mr.. Bryan understands that if Mr..
Hill should be nominated it would be
on a platform containing no declara-
ton for free silver Silver would be
treated as a dead issue. That would
be practically an acknowledgment that
Mr.. Bryan was wrong in 1900 in in
sisting so strenuously on a free silver
declaration in the platform. And the
nomination OF Mr.. Hill would be a
criticism of Mr.. Bryan and the course
he has pursued. 1t would mean the
retirement of Mr. Bryan as one of the
Democratic leaders, 1t is not to be
wondered at therefore that Mr.. Bryan
misses no opportunity to strike a blow
at Mr.. Hill.
The letter which Mr.. Bryan sent to
the Tammany organization of the 35th
assembly district on last Wednesday
night the occasion of the celebration
by that organization of Jefferson's
birthday, is construed by both the po-
litical friends and enemies of Mr.. Hill
to be a bitter attack on him.
There is no hope of their adjusting
their differences. 1t is a safe assertion
that Mr.. HILL if he continues to be
a candidate for the presidential NOM
ination, and there is no reason for
doubt on that point, will have the OPP
position of Mr.. Bryan right up to the
doors of the national convention. He
may even cause Mr.. Hill trouble in
New York. Several organizations of
what are called Bryan Democrats have
been started already in that state.
However, it is in the West that Mr..
Hill will feel Mr.. Bryan's hostility the
most

nOLp MOVE OF TnE sUGAR Trust.

1t is stated in one of the commercial
papers of New York that the sugar
trust is seriously considering the ad-
visibility of urging the repeal of all
duty on sugar-refined as we'll as raw
when the Cuban relief bill is taken up
by the Senate. According to the paper
in question the only protection it will
ask, if the policy indicated is adopted,
is that some means shall be provided
for protecting the refiners of sugar
against the sugar refners of those
countries which pay bounties to sugar
growers. There is at present what is
called a countervailing duty, which,
not very long ago. was enforced against
Russia.
1t is doubtful, however, if it is the
purpose of the sugar trust to favor
free raw and free refined sugar. 1t
is probable that it could stand free
raw and free refined sugar much bet
ter than the beet sugar growers can.
If therefore a policy of absolutely free
sugar should be adopted the beet sugar
growers would discover that they made
great mistake when they opposed
the 20 per cent. reduction of the tariff
on Cuban sugar.
1t is said that the sugar trust pro-
poses to go even further, and use all
Of its influence to have the duties taken
off of tea and coffee as well as sugar
That would give a free breakfast table.
The government however NAV nor
be quite ready to repeal the tariff on
sugar coffee and tea. The tariff on
all three of these articles is practically
4 revenue tariff. The repeal of the
tariff on all of them would, therefore,
make a pretty big hole in the gov
ernments revenues.
If the beet sugar people become sat
isfied that the sugar trust is in earn
est about asking for the repeal of the
duties on refined as well as raw sugar.
they may withdraw their opposition to
the 20 per cent reduction of the tariff
on Cuban sugar. They certainly could
not stand the repeal of all tariff on
sugar as well as the sugar trust can.
1t would not be surprising however,
If it should turn out that the sugar
trust is trying to scare the beet sugar
men into Withdrawing their opposition
to the Cuba relief bill. It will soon
be known. however, whether it is or
not. 1t may be that the most inter
esting phase of the Cuban relief bill
fight is yet to come.

THE COLLECTORSHIP OF THE
PORT

The meeting which the Cotton Ex--
change has called for to-day, to give
expression to the wishes of the bust
ness men of the city in regard to the
appointment of the successor of Col,
Deveaux. the collector of customs,
ought to be well attended 1t is prob
able that the meeting would have been
called sooner if there had not been a
strong hope that the President would
the present occupant of the Office for
the position, and. would not therefore
reappoint him.
No charge is made against Col. De-
veaux's management of the office. Nor
is there any fault found with him as
a man or an official. but he is not
acceptable to the community as the
collector of customs, because he is not
representative citizen and cannot
take the position in the community
which naturally belongs TO the occu-
pant of so important an office.
The business men feel that how
ever good a citizen and however ca
pable an official Col. Deveaux is.
he is a decided drag upon the city in
his present position. The collector
ship of this port is about the most i'm
portant federal Office in the state, and
the fact that it is held by man who
is not in touch with those who DOM
mate the city's business and social
life is calculated to create an unfav
orable impression upon those who
think of making investments in the
city, or who visit it or have business
relations with it.
There has been no bitter fight made
on Col. Deveaux. because he has
aroused no antagonism by any act or
conduct of his, and the present move
ment to secure the appointment of a
suitable official is prompted by
the profound conviction that the well
fare of the city is entitled the the first
consideration.
Efforts have been made to create
! the impression that Col. Deveaux is
acceptable in every way to the bust
| ness community. that, in fact he has
been Endorsed for the position he now
/ holds by our business men generally.
! OF course such is not the case. No
/ doubt all the business men wish him
well, and would be glad to see him
! prosper, but they have not Endorsed
him for collector of customs and are
not likely to do so, because they know
that the head of that Office ought to
take part in the city's life and af-
! fairs that it is not possible for him

From Marie Van Vorst's latest story
in the May Lippincott the following bit
is extracted. A man is riding in an
he loves. In a few hours he is to fight
a duel for her good name:
Careless of the shifting air. Mrs
Ferrars took off her veil, and her up
lifted face was a flower for the moons
kiss. Her hands lay ungloved on the
lap of her black dress.
..Pendleton devoted himself to his
machine; he had them all in his keep
ing. The little red carriage threw
mile after mile behind. In the brief
second of mutual confession by the
lakeside they had relinquished to each
other their souls; as she sat beside
him now. she belonged to him. Who
ever had been in her existence hither-
to was exercised by his mighty love.
The mockery of the next days duel,
the irony of it, swept over him. Was
not his declaration carrying her to-
wards a wrong the existence of whose
like in her life he had branded a lie,
and should deny, perhaps, with his
blood? 1t had been in his mind to
tell her he loved her, but that he
should never see her again. Her con-
fession altered everything. He would
Nlnd1cate her on the morrow, then go
with her to new world and begin a
new existence. Here her low voice
broke in on his train of thought.
" You said that you have mo right
to love me. What better right" can
a man have than to love a woman who
loves him?
There is no better right he an
swered. They darted into a dense
shadow and he put his hand out, COW
ering both hers.
THE folding of her palm on his, the
linking of her fingers amongst his
every touch, was a message to his high
beating heart, was the mystery OF
which his dreams were made.
Craven had said, when they made
their preparations for the duel, DE
RemyConstant is a dead shot Close
to life as he was at the moment, this
thought smote him cold. Bending, os-
tensibly over his machine, he said:
g I love you-do you hear me bet
ter than life. Do you hear? l would
give worlds to take you in my arms
Do you hear? Do you care?
Yes, she murmured, 'yes-yes!'
They crept slowly through the short
forest. but as they shot into the open

brake. his face straight to the night
