The general result Of tho elections In Ohio
and Iowa still remains in doubt, ind official ro-
turns may yet DO required to aottlo it. III Ohio,
the State ticket is very closo, with tho chances
favoriug tho Democrats. Tho Republicans
claim tho election Of Noycs by 1900
majority, whilo tho Democrats aro equally Ban-
guine TINT Allen ia elected by 1000 minority.
Tho worry latest reports favor tho chances Of Al
lon. It ia conceded that the Democrats will
havo majority in tho Legislature Of from 10 to
ID on joint ballot, thus assuring tho election Of
Thurman to tho Senate.
from Iowa, reports continue to DO conflicting.
Tho Republican Central Committee claim that
Carpenter has Al, 900 majority on q two-thsrils
voto OF tho State, md that they haye not lost
control Of the House, as has becn hitherto sup
posed, but that, with tho hold-oyera In tho
Senate, thoy will have majority Of 10 on Joint
ballot, and il tho Independent Republicans aro
admitted to tho pnrty, n majority Of 20. Tic
claims OF tho Republicans, however, do not tally
with tho rotarns received thus far, and will
bcar very liberal discounting. Tho general

There ia now certain prospect TINT tho great
raft which has been an obstruction in tho Red
River, in Louisiana, over since the alvout Of
white mon In this country will soon DO removed.
and that navigation will bo opened for steamers
from Shreveport, La., to Jofforson, Texas. Tic
history OF the rift aud tho attempts to remove
it is exceedingly interesting. In 1906, the OBJ
atructon Of logs reached ono hundred miles.
Since TINT time rafta haye formed ut various
points in the rivor near Shreveport. Ono Of
these waa removed by Capt. shreye in
1880, by tho help of Congressional
aud 1914 under a Government contract
By Con. Williamson. In 1854, tho raft region
extended only twolye miles, md at that timo
Capt. Fuller, aided by Congressional appropri-
alton Of $4,000, attempted to remove it. At
tho end Of two years, however, tue appropriation
had been exhausted md nothing accomplished,
and, the work being abandoned, tho obstruction
began 10 increase. The present raft region OK
teuda thirty-ayo miloH, from q point forty milos
above Shreveport to the Arkansas State liue
aud contained, before tho proaent work COM
nonced, nearly fifty rafts, from oue-oiehth Of q
milo to q milo III length, and occupying tho
entire width Of tho riyos, navigation
only being accomplished through the
bayous around the ratt, but, as those wcro only
available at very high wator, navigation was in
significant. III 1871, tho attention Of tho Eugi-
neering Department was again directed to this
work, and, an appropriation OF $4,000 having
bcen made by Congress-, the work Of preliminary
surveying was intruated to Iiout. Woodruir, who
completed 1t iu 1879, anl submitted plans mud
specifications for tho removal Of the raft, where
upon I'LL appropriation Of s150,0o0 was 1nado.
Tho plans wore accepted, aud Lieut.. Woodruff
reached tho raft region in January last with
snag-boat, two orano-boats, and a1l tho requisite
machinery for his worlt. Tho following descrip-
ton shows tho dittlcultioH to bo overcome

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.


Tho eituhtton In Wall street ycstorday WAS
fovorisl aud marked by fluctuations, which gavo
to the general tono Of tho n,arlsot buoyancy of
an unl,oalthy sort, anl oroated general fooling
Of nnoaainoBs lest 1t might DO only tho
precursor of another break. 4 vigorous
bull campaign WAS commenced, headed
by Vanderbilt, who received his New York Con-
tral dividend in full, and waa reported to DO op-
orating with tho proceeds Of sl0,000,000 Of
stock, sold to German bankers. All Of tito

the railway ia onco opened mud put in opera

tho first train moves orer 1t. Forever utter, tho
railway takos it's place alongsido every other
species of private business, and makos all that
the law Of competition will permit This has
been tho theory upon which railways havo been
generally operated hitherto. Inatoad Of being
quasi public corporations, as thcy arc in law,
they havo assumed to be strictly priyato corpora
tions. stock-watering, which ia itsolf viola-
tion Of law, is the outgrowth Of this assumption.
In 80 far Oh tho farmers hayo attacked this as
sumption, NO think they aro right, and ITO be-
leyo they will prevail.
