PANTHER SEEN NEAR BENTON.

Hon. w. c. Whitthorne, of Benton,
 was in Little Rock Tuesday and told a
 story to a Gazette reporter about a panther which was seen few days ago by a farmer only short distance from his town. The farmer was driv- ing several cows home from the pas- ture when. the creature jumped into the middle of the road in front of the stock in crouching position. He seemed as much surprised as the farmer, when the latter seized a stick and frightened him away by demon stration all too warlike for his notions of bravery The cattle which the far mer was driving were very much frightened and immediately stam peded. According to the current story in Benton, there is no doubt that the creature was really pan ther, the man who claims to have seen it having had experience with it's kind before. The negroes and many of the whites near the town are much excited over the incident, and cratic efforts have been made to hunt the animal down with dogs. It is prob able that regularly organized hunt will be started in few days and the country for miles, thoroughly beaten. No loss of stock has been reported yet.

Davis has been engaged in examining into the piles of evidence submitted in every case.

TWO ELECTIONS.

1t will be remembered that there was
state election in Oregon a few weeks
since; and it will be remembered that
this Republican state elected Demo-
crat to be governor.
There was an election in Tennessee
Thursday. And the Democrats carried
everything.
These two elections are straws which
show the direction of the political wind.
One thing shown is that the Democrats
may reasonably expect heavy gains in
Republican states of the North, for the
conditions making the Oregon result
possible exist in every other Northern
state. Another thing shown is that the
Democrats can once more count upon
solid South. Tennessee is a represent
alive Southern state, and If 1T Is loyal
to the Democratic party-as the re-
suit shows it to be-there is no reason
why Kentucky, Maryland and the Vir-
ginias should not be found in the DEM
ocratic column.
A careful analysis of the situation.
has convinced the Democratic cam
paign managers that there will be
Democratic majority in the next con-
gress. Throughout the United States
there are a large number of close dis
tricts now represented by Republican
congressman. With united and ag-
gressive party fighting for every seat
in congress this fall there is no doubt
many seats will be wrested from the
Republicans and the control of the
lower house pass into the hands of the
party of the people.
The results in Oregon and Tennessee
encourage the Democrats to believe
congress can be won this fall-and the
presidency in the fall of 1904.

whom it is incredible that they would

do so.
thus exacted by the meat trust our tar
iff system further protects" that in
stitution. The resolutions adopted by
the National Retail Butchers associa-
ton recently, urging combination
against the exactions of the trust, direct
ed attention to the fact not generally
recognized by the public that the Ding
ley law gives the trust protection" on
it's products to an extent approximate
ing on an average between rs and 80
per cent ad valorem.
While the officials of the national adj
ministration published avowals Of their
readiness to apply the penalties of the
law to that combination it's members
continue their exactions undisturbed,
and go so far as to render their monop-
oily of the meat supply of the country
still more extensive and effective.
In any other relation than that Of
politics the claim of the party in pow
er, which is responsible for the exist
ence and maintenance of those monop-
olies, that 1t intends to destroy them
would be received with open contempt
by all enlightened citizens.

PAYING THE COST

The folly of the attitude which this
country is now being made to occupy
towards Cuba, through the failure of
precity in it's dealings with the new
republic, is being brought home to the
American people with added force
practically each succeeding day.
On the one hand we have the decla-
ration of the Cuban authorities of their
purpose to negotiate a loan of some
100000 with which to pay the pen
sions of the Cuban soldiers and for the
relief of the Cuban planters. On the
other hand, we have the announcement
made through the press dispatches
from Washington that the Cuban SEN
ate has authorized an increase on eX-
listing duties affecting nearly every ar
ticle for which the United States could
naturally look for a new market in
Cuba. That increase as told in the
dispatches, affects such commodities as
boots and shoes, COAL pine lumber,
canned, salt and fresh meats, lard,
condensed milk, wheat flour, soap and
corn to an extent of increased duties
varying from 10 to 333 per cent.
The provisions of the Platt amend
ment authorizes us to veto loans made
by the new Cuban republic for which
the current revenues do not provide
sufficient surplus to pay interest and
to establish sinking fund. The OBJ
ject of. this and corresponding restric-
tions is, of course, to prevent Cuba
from becoming So deeply indebted to
European nations as to call into exist
ence the conditions seen in so many
other Latin-American republics-the
industries of the country being mort
gagged for an indefinite period to the
full limit Of their revenues.
It will thus be seen that the neces-
sity may be imposed upon us at any
time of vetoing the movement of the
Cuban republic to obtain a loan, the
ated. It will be further seen that we
have gone as far as we could we'll go
to close the doors of Cuban trade
against ourselves, thus classifying all our
national professions and acting in pal
pable violation of our own interests in
the Antilles.
1t is, of course, not improbable that
with reference to the contemplated loan
we will find ourselves as helpless as
we are with reference to the contem-
plated increase in Cuban tariff rates;
but, in any event, the natural and in
evitable economic consequences of our
bad faith toward Cuba are already
making themselves felt in directions
which, if a remedy is. not soon applied,
must inure to the lasting injury OF
both the nations involved
