The State Executive Committee of

President and Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, for Vice-President.

The State Republican conventions
of Ohio and Iowa were held
yesterday and each straddled the

while the G. O. P. in Iowa indorsed
the candidacy of Allison for Presi

Tiie telephone monopoly which
has been charging $5 and $2.50 per
month for’phones for the last five
or six years is very anxious now to
give the Pine Bluff public the same
service for $2 and $1 per month.
The cause of this cut is the organi
zation of a local telephone company
in this city which has entered into
contract to furnish ’phones for the
next three years at $2.50 and $2
per month, and which the monop
oly now seeks to drive out. Verily,
how a monopoly does despise compe
tition.
The Constitution of the United
States wisely places, under our sys
tem of Government, the power ol
electing United Slates Senators in
the Legislatures of the various
States; nevertheless there is noth
ing contained therein to preyent
the people at their primary elections
from instructing their representa
tives as to their preferences and
wishes in such contests. We hope,
therefore, the County Central Com
mittee at its meeting Friday will
give the Democrats of this county an
opportunity to vote their senti
ments in the Senatorial race be
tween Clarke and Jones.

Mr. Geo. L. Smith, of tho Geo. L. Smith

1894: "For about a year 1 was a terrible suf
ferer from heart trouble, which got so bad
I was obliged to sit up in bed to get my
breath. 1 had to abandon business and
could hardly crawl around. My friend, Mr.
Julius 0. Voght, one of our leading pharma
cists, asked mo to try I>r. Miles’ Heart Cure.
I had used little more than a bottle when
the pain ceased and palpitations entirely
disappeared. 1 have not had the slightest
trouble since, and today I am attending to
business as regularly as ever."

THE STA TE CONVENTION.
The Democratic State Central
Committee met in Little Rock yes
terday to fix a date for the meeting
of the Democratic State Convention
and the basis of representation in
the same.
After several votes. June 17 was
decided on as the date for the con
vention and the basis of represen
tation was fixed at one delegate for
every 100 votes cast for J. P. Clarke
for Governor in 1804, and one dele
gate for each fraction of that num
ber in excess of fifty. This will make
the convention consist of 748 dele
gates. At the September election of
1804, Jefferson county east 1724
votes for J. P. Clarke, and the
county will therefore be entitled to
seventeen votes in the State con
vention. This will be the largest
representation Jefferson county has
ever had in a Democratic State Con
vention.
FRANK B. FLANDERS.
Bv reference to the regular column
the announcement of Mr. Prank B.
Flanders as a candidate for re-elec
tion as County and Probate Clerk
will be found therein. Mr. Flan
ders has served his first term as
County Clerk and has given such
satisfaction that it is not thought
that he will have any opposition.
He has served four years as a Dep
uty Clerk, and two years as County
Clerk,and has at all times been thor
oughly efficient in every respect.
He is courteous and obliging,and, in
consequence, is justly popular
throughout the county, and his re
election does riot admit, of a reason
able doubt.
During the past year Mr. Flan
ders has been in very bad health,
and is at present at Hot Springs,but
reports from there state that he
has not been benefited by his trip
and he is expected home in a few
days. In consequence of his ill
health, therefore, Mr. Flanders will
not be able to make a canvass of the
county for re-election, but he is
well-known among the people and
has made one of the best clerks the
county has ever had, and a canvass
of thecounty on his part ought not
to be required.
During his illness the affairs of
the County Clerk’s office have been
properly attended to by his efficient
deputy, Mr. L. T. Sallee, and the
county’s interests have not been
allowed to sufTer.
Mr. Flanders is in every way de
serving of re-election and we trust
that he will not have opposition.
JUDGE W. D. JONES.
The appropriate column of the
Graphic contains the announcement
of Judge W. D. Jones as a candidate
for re-election as County and Pro
bate Judge of Jefferson county.
Judge Jones is now serving his sec
ond term in that capacity,and at the
earnest solicitation of his many
friends, has consented to stand for
re-election. When Judge Jones
took charge of* the affairs of the
county, county scrip was worth
only about 65 cents, while today it
readily brings 98 cents in the mar
ket. While under his economical
management county scrip has been
brought up practically to par, he
tins m so in auburn Leu it uumutu ui
substantial and lasting improve
ments. Under bis administration
much permanent work has been
done upon the public bridges and
highways; the County Exposition
building has been erected and fitted
up with an exhibit of the varied re
sources of the county, the Court
house grounds have been beautified
and improved; a new and substan
tial county jail has been builded,and
many other improvements have been
made of a substantial character. His
administration has been thoroughly
judicious and economical, and so
guarded has he been in his allow
ances and public expenditures that
he has well earned the. cognomen of
“the watch dog of the county treas
ury.”
Should Judge Jones be re-elected
his administration for another term
would be characterized by the same
sagacity and economy in allowances
and public expenditures as in the
past, and he would continue to be
an honest and faithful public serv
ant.

AFTER MINISTER DE LOME.
Some Senator* Believe He U Oetlln«
Entirely Too Gey.
Washington, March 12.—The crowds
which filled the senate gallery Tues
day in anticipation of the exciting On
ban debate were not disappointed. Two
new phases of the subject made their
appearance and each afforded a debate
which aroused senators and spectators
to a high stage of interest and excite
ment.
Mr. Lodge (Rop., Mass.) arose to a
question of personal privilege and in
vigorous words rebuked the Spanish
minister, Senor Dupuy de Lome for his
recent criticism of senators.
Senator Toller added his opinion was
that a repetition of the minister’s ac
tion should be followed by his dis
missal.
Senators Gray and Halo maintained
that senatorial privileges and preroga
tive should not be restrained to close
the mouth of the Spanish minister.
Mr. Lodge did not press for any defi
nite action, but the incident was hardly
closed when the subjeot came up in an
other form.
Mr. Hoar had asked that his resolu
tion postponing the entire Cuban sub
jeot until April 6 go over for another
day. This aroused Mr. Sherman to an
energetic and feeling protest. He de
clared that Mr. Hoar’s resolution was a
reflection on the committee on foreign
relations and was an effort to shelve the
Cuban resolutions after weeks of dis
cussion and overwhelming votes in both
houses. The two venerable senators,
Seherman and Hoar, engaged in a vig
orous colloquy.
Mr. Morgan and other senators were
drawn into the personal conflict anil ior
half an hoar it raged, some times with
deep earnestness, but more often with
amusement, caused by the energy of
the whitehaired participants.
Mr. Sherman finally withdrew his ob
jection and Mr. Hoar’s resolution went
over, but not before Mr. Hoar had
made a brief but tolling speech against
what he termed the meddling policy of
congress in foreign questions.
The latter part of the day was given
to a continuance of Mr. Turpie’s speech
in opposition to the claim of Mr. Du
pont.
The house witnessed the perennial at
to out off the appropriation for special
mail facilities between Boston via New
York and Washington to Atlanta and
New Orleans. This apporpriation had
been oarriea in the postoffioe bill sinoe
1873. This year it amounted to ?196,0(
and coupled with it were appropriations
for special facilities between Kansas
City and Newton, Kan., and Chicago
and Council Bluffs. The latter items,
however, went down before points of
order.
An attempt was made to rule out the
southern subsidy also on a point of or
der, but Mr. Payne of New York over
ruled the point. The motion to strike
out -was defeated by a vote of 93 to 11 (».
The postoffioe bill was not disposed of.
SENATOR FRYE’S NEW BILL.
It Will Make a Number of Changes If
Passed Without Amendment.
Washington, Maroh 13.—Senator
Frye’s bill providing for the creation of
a department of oommerce and manu
factures contemplates the transfer to
this department from the treasury of
the life saving service and lighthouse
board, marine hospital service, bureau
of steamboat inspection, bureau of navi
gation, the ooast and geodetio survey
and the bureau of statistics, also the
bureau of statistics of the state depart
ment, tho two bureans to be consoli
dated into one. The consular service
also will be transferred from the juris
diction of the state department. It is
provided that the department shall have
general jurisdiction over the foreign
and internal commeroo of the United
States, except the oollootiou of revenue
and the administration of customs and
the internal revenue laws.. It also is
to have jurisdiction over all matters re
lating to tho manufacturing interests
of the United States including tho ex
tension of foreign markets for the same
and inorease of trade and trade facili
ties from foreign countries. The new
secretary is to perform all duties now
incumbent upon the secretary of the
treasury in relation to trade and com
merce of the Unitod States whether
upon laud or water.
PAY FOR RAILWAY CLERKS.
An Effort Will Ho Made to Increase
Tlieir Salaries.
Washington, March 12.—Strong of
forts will be made by the honse com
mittee on Dostofiices and nostroads tn
secure the passage of the house bill to
increase the compensation of railway
mail clerks. Thooommittoo has directed
Mr. Linton to report his bill favorably.
By its provisions the number of classes
in servioe on a salary basis is increased
from 5 to 10 and salaries of clerks range
from $800 to $ 1500. The proposition to
have 2 per cent of the salaries withhold
to establish a pension fund was with
drawn.
Reliable statistics show that the mor
tality among railway mail clerks,
through railroad accidents, is greater
than among troops in the civil wTar.
These clerks are required to pass an ex
amination at a rating of more than Oil
per cent and are not given vacations al
though departmental employes in Wash
ington have 30 days.
Ca*h In th® TrflMury,
Washington, March 12.—The state
ment of the condition of the treasury
shows the available cash balance to bo
$136,022,330; gold reserve, $121,097,293.
