PUBLIC OWNERSHIP AS AN AL.
 TERNATIVE.

The Pine Bluff City Council has di- rected the city attorney to bring suit against the Pine Bluff Light and Wa ter Company for the forfeiture of the company's charter and contract with the city. Tn council has also adopt ed a resolution urging the members of the legislature from Jefferson county to secure the passage of the bill pro- viding for the municipal ownership of the water works and light plant at Pine Bluff.
 The complaint against the water company is the inefficiency and mad equacy of it's service. We do not believe much would be heard of mu- nicipal ownership if private corpora tions did not at times fail in their ob- legations to the public. When in d certain city there is water com pany that gives plenty of good water at a fair price there is likely to be very litle talk about municipal owner ship of the water works. But when a private corporation fails to give satis- faction the people naturally turn to public ownership for relief.-Little Rock Gazette.

 PAIGN NOTES

\ very important conference of bus mess men was held in Judge Gould's office Wednesday afternoon to consi1- CT the enlargement of the Y. M. c. A. as a matter of vital importance to the whole city.
 | After full discussion a commit tee was appointed to ask about seven- ty-five of the leading citizens to act on the soliciting committee, each man to serve at least one hour day The special committee was composed of the following we'll known gentle men: Major H. H. Hum, chairman; Judge James Gould, Howell Vest brook, Charles Well, w. H. Langford, J. E. Boyce, J. A. Holmes, J. R. Ruth erford and D. B. Niven. This committee met in Major Hunn's office Thursday morning and selected list of those who are to be asked to serve on the soliciting committee and the committee hopes each gen. tleman will promptly and favorably respond. As the canvass is to close on April f, and only short time of each day will be required for the work, a prompt response will be ap- preciated. The appointment of this committee and the manner in which they have taken hold of the work, makes the campaign an assured sue cess.
 A letter just received from MT. Adair who was here over Sunday and Monday, announces welcome gift of $5,O0O from Mrs. Russell Sage to- wards the furnishing fund of the new railroad Y. M. c. A. building in St. Louis. A similar gift of $5,O00 was also received from Mrs. s. H. H. Clark, of St. Louis, which assures the full amount of $20,000 desired. May there not be some generous friend of the young men and boys of Pine Bluff who will be glad to follow that ex- ample and thus make for himself a permanent place in the heart and affection of all the citizens of this city,
 The Jig c,ociz now shows $5,000 pledged. When the citizens commit. tee gets underway, watch it move steadily forward.
 Many have already subscribed, but still there is room.
 The workers at headquarters were cheered by one gentleman who called Thursday morning and left a gener- ous donation towards the fund. We could stand many more experiences of that kind

was concerned. It precludes United States Senators Culberson and Bailey from sitting on the speak CTS platform.
 In the senate the fight was warm The senate committee on the Bryan entertainment sub- mitted their report, and debate on it occupied all of the morning ses- sion The report said that Presi- dent Davidson of the senate shall introduce Mr. Bryan. President Davidson said that he thought that Governor Campbell was the proper person to make the introduction. Some senators insisted that Lieu tenant Governor Davidson was the proper person. Senator Chambers declared that it looked as if Speak CT Love had stacked the committee in his favor. One of the senators, in furtherance of harmony, moved that Speaker Loves name be sub- stituted for that of Lieutenant Gov ernor Davidson in introducing Mir. Bryan. Senator Hudspeth said: ''l move that that amendment be thrown out of the window
 After wrangling for some time it was finally decided to leave the name of the person to introduce MT. Bryan blank in the report. An addition was then adopted that United States senators may occupy seats on the speakers stand. The report was then adopted by the senate.

 New Orleans, March 28.-Under tone in Liverpool does not appear very good Futures weakened more than called for and total spot sales are but 5000 bales today. Opening trades here were at about unchanged figures followed by weakness on improved pros poets for some precipitation in the western and north central belt. Sellers, however, are very cautious lest they work into the hands of the New York clique and further it's purpose of manipulation. The decline. therefore, is very grad@ ual and every more in New York is being closely watched.
 The insight for the week looks like 2O4,000 bales, against 154, ,597 last year and 235,419 in 1905.
 The visible supply statement is expected to be less favorable.
 Weekend statistics will prOb- ably not appear until Monday next.
 The spot market is dull, prices about unchanged.

 ABOUT BRYAN
Texas Legislature, Being Angry at Bailey, Is at Loss to Know Where Line Should
 Be Drawn.

Austin, March 27.-The question of who shall introduce William J. Bryan on his proposed visit to the Texas legislature on March 29 caused a spirited contest in the senate today. The matter came up when a special committee appoint ed to make arrangements for en- tertaining MT. Bryan submitted a report for adoption. The house re- port was adopted in the house pro- viding that Speaker Love shall in trOduce MT. Bryan. The report was also amended so that no one shall occupy a seat on the speakers stand during Bryan's speech ex- cept the speaker. governor and lieutenant governor. This settles the question as far as the house

TO FORFEIT A CHARTER.

The state will watch With ln- terest the proceedings to be insti- tuted at Pine Bluff to forfeit the charter of the Pine Bluff Light & Water company.
 In other cities, including Little Rock, similar propositions have at times been considered very seri- cusly, but nothing has come from the agitation, unless it be the saiutary influence that it has eX- erted upon the public service.
 Agitation at times has in this way proven very beneficial, and corporations that for time ap- peared careless and negligent were spurred to more thorough effort by the fear of court proceedings that would endanger their cor porate standing and franchises.
 Tn Pine Bluff the citizens have been driven to desperate straits by service which has been officially declared to be thoroughly in adequate.
 Disastrous fires have swept the city, which was left at the mercy of the flames by water pressure and volume that has been insuf- ticient to cope with the danger.
 The citizens, who are, after all, superior to city, state or federal government, held mass meetings and demanded that there be a change, and that some steps be taken to insure a greater degree of safety for their property
 This has crystalized into the ac- tion of the council in ordering that steps be taken to annul the char ter of the company that has in so many instances, it is alleged, failed to live up to the requirements of it's contract with the city.-Little Rock Democrat.

ROCKEFELLER'S WEALTH.

The statement of Mr. Rockefeller himself as to the size of his fortune brings it down to within hailing dis tance of those of several other Amer jeans, though it still stands above al others, according to the latest esti- mates As compared with MT. Rocke- feller's $300,000,O00, Andrew Carne- gie is reputed to have $166,000,000; Mrs. Anna Walker of Philadelphia $12,000,000 and James J. Hill $100,- 000,000. This estimate of MT. Hills fortune does not take into account the ore lands which MT. Hill ac- quired recently, and which he is said to have given to the stockholders of his companies.
 Several estimates approximate $100,00O,000, including those of Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Marshall Filed and the Goelets William Waldorf As tors inheritance was $150,000,0 900; John Jacob Astor's $90,0O0,O00 and William K. Vanderbilt's $67,000,000 The fortune of the Guggenheim broth CTS, including, of course, their great holdings of mining properties, is said to be about $20O,00OOOO; figures on their individual wealth are not ob- tainable.
 Of MT. Rockefeller's fortune of $250,O0O,O0O Or $30O,OO0,0OO, as esti- mated by himself, he has given away nearly $94,000,O00, according to the figures compiled from various sources 1t seems that MT. Carnegie has given about as literally in proportion to his wealth, his total contributions to institutions being estimated at $2S,- 773,000, which includes $15,000,000 to the Carnegie Foundation to provide for superannuateo csilege professors Leland Stanford gave $20,000000 and Mrs. Stanford $1O,000,000 to Leland Stanford, Jr, University; Marshall Field gave $13,Oo0,O0O for the Field Columbian Museum.
