THE SINGLE COIN STA ND1RD.
Il Il Believed that the President VIII TaEs
= Firm staad In Favor or "a.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.-There is good reason
to believe that the President In his forthcoming
message to Congress will take a firm stand In
favor OF the single gold standard. lie will not
take a step in the direction OF free silver coin
age, but will endorse the single gold standard
about Us forcibly as 1t Is possible for him TO do.
The Director OF the Mint Is preparing his annual
report, and will devote the larger part of il to a
history OF the use Of gold for a STANDARD OF value
and treat exhaustively OF its responsiveness to
the demands OF the people for a circulating me-
dunn. IL Is understood that the President will
Use the data collected by the Director AS a basis
for some OF his remarks on the wisdom Of select
ing gold for the standard Of value. 1t has been
said that the President will recommend the
adoption OF what is known as the Baltimore cur
reIcy plan. This, according to one of the Presi-
dents advisers, is putting the matter a little too
strong. This gentleman says that the President
will endorse part Of the Baltimore plan, bug will
not advocate il In its entirety.

Visible Results.

The good results accruing from the
Arkansas exhibit at the Worlds Fair
are cropping out every day, and the
real benefits can hardly be said to have
begun. One of the very Important re-
suits of the exhibit is shown by the
amount of interest the Iron Mountain
railway Is taking in the State. Our
readers remember the visit Of DR.. En-
mis- and his party, last week, and the
very encouraging words they had for
the State. The Missouri Pacific has
Withdrawn nearly all its land agents
from Texas and assigned them to work
IN this State. This means that the
large immigration which the Missouri
Pacific has been carrying into Texas IS
to be turned into Arkansas. Mr.. Will
kinson left DR.. Ennis party here and
went into Crawford county to get ac-
quainted with the company's lands
there. Friday Afternoon, f. NJ. Phil
lips, another employe of the land de
partment, came up from Little Rock
and Saturday morning went up to
Fayetteville, where he will meet Com
missioner Vincenheller. Mr.. Phillips
is gathering statistics and Information
concerning the fruit belt of A rkansas,
to be used by the. Railway company in
advertising the States resources.
While in the city Friday, Commits
sioner Vincenhe.ler stated that both
his office and that of Gov. Fishback
were over-run with letters from home-
seekers and that dozen or more pros
pectors visited his office every day.
He says that II the immigration con-
tinues at the same rate as the past ak
months, the population of the State
will be doubled within ten years.
Arkansas is a State Of great resources
and is pushing rapidly to the 'front.'
