.Ae senate this session that have AZ
torded him an opportunity Of making
Characteristic speeches than there
have been for several years. He IL
cnnosed to the tendency Of corpora
Hons TO monopolize trade and destroy
.ompetition, and In the railroad rate
Iseislation and the propositions to in
ysstigate combinations Of railroads
Mr. Tillman has had his greatest OPP
Dortunities to attack corporations In
his fnimitable manner of speech.
TiIlman is nothing II not original
and picturesque. He can say things
IN the floor Of the senate that no
other man would dare utter. He ex-
ruses IT on the ground that he is "a
plain. blunt man." When he first
came TO the senate the sticklers for
senatorial proprIety, like the late
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, and
Senator PIatt Of Connecticut, would
take Tillman to task for his almost
brutal form of speech when referring
70 his colleagues or government ON
rails. The senator would promise to
be good, but on the next occasion his
temper would get the best Of him and
he would spit out words that were pa
tently unparliamentary. The mentors
Of the senate got tired finally Of try
ing 10 reform the one-eyed iconoclast
from South Carolina and he is now
allowed his own sweet way, unless he
gets absolutely insulting.
Mr.. Tillman is now at home in his
state patching up a few breaches in
his political fences. He is a candidate
for reelection next year, and already
considerable opposition has developed.
The old regime in South Carolina, the
silk stocking arts 'ocracy, do not relish
being represented in the United States
senate by a farmer like Mr.. Tillman.
The latter secured his election by an
appeal to the common people, and he
Il still catering to that element.

PEANUT PARTY MAKES FUN
This Kind of Evening Easy to Provide
For and Sure to Furnish Plenty
of Amusement.

Peanut parties are always enjoyable
and easy to prepare. On the invita-
tions fasten a peanut SHELL or have a
string of peanuts painted on the card
in water colors. Have a generous sup
ply of peanuts concealed in the rooms
in every spot imaginable, behind pic
lures, under rugs, on window stills,
etc.
When the guests have arrived, give
each one a silk bag or paper sack and
let the hunt begin, each man for him
self. After a half hour. call time and
count the spoils, according a prize Of q
box of sailed peanuts for the greatest
number and a bag of unshelled nuts
for the smallest lot.
Next provide some peanuts, tooth
picks, pen and ink, tissue paper and
gum, and allow ten minutes for the
making of a doll. The result will be
most amusing. Serve peanut sand.

picion that their tender has been made
for some Interior motive. In contrast
&c most of the offers Of presents the
gifts Of some southern friends have
been accepted gratefully and apprecia-
lively by Uncle joe" Down In North
Carolina, where he was born, there is
an old lady who never saw him, but
who has watched his public career
and believes that he has brought hon
or to his native state, although he left
II when but a child.
This old lady has not forgotten the
frontier art of spinning yarn and
weaving cloth. Last fall she wove
with her own hands, on an old-fash-
toned loom, a web of homespun cloth
that is a marvel of fine texture and
workmanship. She sent to Speaker
Cannon enough of the cloth to make
him a suit of clothes. He had his
tailor manufacture the garments, and
all winter he has proudly worn that
dark gray suit of homespun while pre-
siding over the house. 1t is becom-
ing suit and has excited the admira-
ton of all his friends.
Another North Carolina lady knit
the speaker pair of white wool socks,
such as kept our ancestors feet warm
when deer skin moccasins were more
plentiful than fine leather shoes. Still
another gift came from the same state
III the shape of a pair Of knit suspend
ers or "galluses" as they were known
in Uncle Joe's" boyhood. He has put
these away in his cabinet to preserve
for his grandchildren, so they may
know what sort Of clothing was worn

make his outfit complete, Col. Hemp

pie OF aiding she American merchant
marine by giving q bounty to ships
constructed In this country and sailed
under the American flag is to be rec
lsnized. The bill that is likely to be-
come law, It having already passed
the senate, does not make any great
draft upon the public funds. In fact for
several years none OF the present
revenues OF the treasury will have to
De touched, as the subsidy will be fur
nlsned by an additional tonnage tax
levied upon the vessels. The present
proposition only contemplates the
granting Of bounty or subsidy for
ten years.
The one fact that appealed to con-
gress more than any other In favor
OF substituting the American merchant
marine Is that less than ten per cent
o. our foreign commerce is carried
under the American flag. The old
homely Illustration of a merchant
htrtng the delivery wagons of a COM
pettng firm to deliver his goods has
been used with good effect In pressing
the necessity Of this country furnish
ing the ships that carry our commerce
&c the world.
This bill has been fought through
Tor years by Senators Frye Of Maine
and Gallinger Of New Hampshire, and
to them belongs much Of the credit II
It becomes a Law. They found Il DIFF
flcult to arouse q sentiment in the
country outside the districts that are
interested in shipbuilding, but by their
persistent efforts they have finally
convinced the western wheat and cat
tie grower that II would be to his ad-
vantage to ship his products through
out the world under the American
tag.

take an independent course and defy
the orders of his party caucus. This
man is Thomas Macdonald Patterson,
an lrishman by birth, with all the
lighting proclivities of his nationality.
Mr.. Patterson refused to be bound by
the Democratic caucus on the question
Of the ratification Of the San Domin-
gan treaty and ne received one of the
everest lectures and castigations on
the floor of the senate that has been
administered for many years. This
parliamentary trouncing was admins
Tered by Senator Bailey, of Texas, who
mas jumped into the leadership on the
Democratic side.
Mr.. Patterson took his dose of medi-
cine without even making a wry face
ana he says it will take more than the
olctum Of two-thirds of the Democrats
II the United States senate to read
MN out Of the party. Somewhat like
Cataline of old, he defied them and de-
eiared that if he went he would return
snd at the next national Democratic
convention he would be there to greet
MS Democratic friends and to do bust
ness as delegate from Colorado. Mr..
Fatterson was no match for Mr..
Bailey in the colloquy that arose over
tne formers recalcitrancy. He has not
tne voice nor the presence that belong
70 the young statesman from Texas.
M. Bailey is the perfection Of man

casions he has advocated his bill on

All sorts Of amendments were offered
to the bill, including propositions to

AFTER SICKNESS
Our Local Druggist, \. C. Bcdcn, Advises Pine Bluff People to

The one thing to aid recovery is to give the patient a bloodbuilding and strength restoring tonic. one that will impart new life and strength to every organ in the body.
 For this purpose our local drug sist, A. C. Bedell. says: Nothing equals Ninol. =
 Ninol is not a patent medicine, but real cod liver preparation which contains besides peptonate of iron every one of the ody-building. medicinal clements of cod liver oil, CTS, but without a drop of the nau- seating, greasy oil to upset the stomach and retard it's work
 Ninol is delicious to take, and acts directly on the stomach, tones Up the digestive organs, creates a healthy appetite, makes pure, rich red blood and muscle tissue, and creates strength for every organ in the body.
 If Vinol fails 10 build up the run down and convalescent, give strength to the aged, cure stomach troubles. hard colds and hanging-On coughs. We checrfullv refund every dollar paid us for it. A. G. Bedell, druggist

On the surface this decline appears without further significance and could be explained away by lack of enterprise prior 10 the government publications but ever since last Mon day lack of confidence has peered through proceedings everywhere. showing that the size of the crop sug- gested by the continued heavy move ment has only more set the world thinking now that weeks of active ac- quisition of supplies have somewhat satisfied actual and sentimental ap- petite.

 The commissioners of the Center street paving district in this city, at a meeting yesterday afternoon, adopt ed q resolution calling upon Col !. A. Woodson. as president Of the Ar kansas Rock Asphalt company, which company paved that portion of the street from Twelfth to Eighteenth streets. to relay the street at once or action would be taken on the bond of the company. This street was paved With Arkansas asphalt about ten months ago and at the meeting of the commissioners yesterday a report was submitted showing that the street is already full of holes and is badly in need of repairs. The engineer in charge of the work, F.. A. Kingsley states that the paving was laid under . guarantee of ten years and that the commissioners have ample recourse on the company which did the work. Col. Woodson has since sold out his holdings in the company and retired from the business. but the paving was laid while he was at the head of the or2ainZatiOn.
