WHEAT EXPORTS.
Improving Conditions Under the Wilson
 Law.

A high tariff contemporary claims that Europe bought more "high-priced wheat from us under the Mckinley law than low-priced wheat under the Wilson law"
 Yes, it did in 1892 because of crop shortages that year and the year be- fore in Europe. Crop damages were so great that some of the European coun- tries suspended their duties on grain and otherwise favored by legislation the import of American wheat But McKinleyism couldn't help our farmers after that Not only did our wheat exports fall off in 1893 over forty mil lion bushels, but the price per bushel fell twenty per cent.
 Instead of recovering the lost ground in the next year of Mckinleyism, wheat continued to fall in price. Not until the Wilson bill had taken effect was any improvement perceptible The average export price of No. } red wheat has been higher this year than at any time since Europe's crop short- age in 1892. The average for the year has also been higher than during the corresponding period of last year un- der the Mckinley bill.
 When we compare quantities we find that up to the lst of August about two million three hundred thousand bushels more were exported than dur ing the corresponding period of last year. Our crop shortage this year in winter wheat cut down exports consid- ably until the spring wheat crop was harvested, but since the middle of Sep. tember they have exceeded last years exports. We are ahead now of 1894 and are likely to make gains every week for several months over the year 1893 as we'll as last year. Wheat is higher now than 1t was year ago and as high as it was in October, 1893. There is this difference, however. While the tendency of the market two years ago was downward it is now up. ward.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
May Not Fight at Hot Springs.

The following dispatch was sent from Little Rock on the 18th: Sheriff Houpt, of Hot Springs, who arrived in the city late last night, went direct to Gov. Clarke's residence, where a long conference was held. The interview must have been satisfactory to Gov. Clarke, for to-day he remarked that he had implicit confidence in the willing ness and ability of Sheriff Houpt to render any assistance that may be necessary in the suppression of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight at Hot Springs. A newspaper correspondent met the sheriff after his talk with the governor.
 "Will the fight come off at Hot Springs?" was the first question.
 Most certainly it will not" em- phatically replied the sheriff.
 Do you expect to stop itP"
 If they attempt to fight will stop them" and the earnestness of Sheriff Houpt's manner of speaking showed that he meant every word of it. "1 came up here to talk to the governor, '" he continued, "and to assure him that l would do my full duty in preventing any violation of the law by the prize fighters. My mind has been made up all along as to what course would pursue. If 50,000 people had come to Hot Springs to see the fight they would have been disappointed. l intended to use my authority in preventing fight, and would have succeeded"
 If Corbett and Fitzsimmons go to the Springs will you arrest them?'
 ''I will if they attempt to fight. But there is no likelihood that they will get there. Gov. Clarke assures me he will arrest them or have them arrested if they attempt to enter the state."
 "Then you can state positively that the fight will never come off in Gar. land county while you are sheriff?"
 "Yes, my word is out for it that the fight will not occur in my county, and l mean to keep it."

Train Robber Sentenced.

Larry Brown, leader of one of the most daring bands of robbers that ever infested Arkansas, was convicted at Batesville, says dispatch sent from Little Rock, and given seven years in the penitentiary. For several years the band operated in the vicinity of Walnut Ridge and Hoxie, making the latter place their headquarters. Pas sengers on the Iron Mountain and Kan sas City, Fort Scott & Memphis rail- roads were being continually fieeced and robbed by these men. Brown was taken to Lawrence county and placed In jail to await trial. At the last term ot the Lawrence county circuit court he was granted a change of venue to independence county. Mir. Rominger, a well-knOwn citizen of Marshall, Tex. who was robbed of several hundred dollars while waiting for train at Hoxie, was present at the trial, and identified Brown as the leader of the band. Three other members of the gang are in jail at Powhattan await ing trial.

Republicans Distressed by Improved Busi-
 ness Conditions.
 The improvement in the finances of the country and in the general condi- ion of business has disclosed the ex- istence of painful state of mind among the editors of certain republic an papers. The announcement that the receipts of the treasury for the month will exceed the disburseme causes them deep distress The esti- mate that the continuous deficit of the past two years will hereafter be re- placed by steadily increasing sur plus is received by them with every indication of genuine sorrow They try not to believe 1t.
 They even go so far as to argue that 1t must be mistake. They ac- cuse the treasury department of with holding payments, of starving the government service, of juggling with the transaction of public business, of seeking to force a balance for the pur- pose of influencing the elections.
 What kind of Americans are these whose hearts are saddened at the evi- dences of their country's prosperity? What kind of patriotism is it which carries partisanship to such an ex. treme? Above all, where is the intel. hgence in acting the part of mere calamity howler in country in which prosperity is inevitable?-N. Y. World.

Not All Clear Sailing.

Judge Duffie, at Hot Springs, has notified Sheriff Houpt that the sheriff will be instructed by the judge and prosecuting attorney the proper time to interfere in the proposed prize-fghts at Hot Springs. It seems to be the general opinion that the judge will use his best efforts to prevent the con- tests from coming off.
 When shown a dispatch giving an account of the position taken by Judge Duffie, Gov. Clarke said that Judge Dufie was an old classmate of his, and he knew he would do his duty in the present, as in all other emergencies where the majesty of the law was to be vindicated. Gov. Clarke was em- phatic in saying that since Judge Duffie had taken the initiative in the premises, it would be an easy matter to stop the fight The chief executive of the state could now intervene and preclude the possibility of the affair being pulled of in the city of Hot Springs.

This Is a Strange Caae.

Charles Hawkins, convicted in Little Rock of forgery in 1881, sentenced to four years and pardoned by Gov. Churchill after one year, on condition that he leave the state, was lodged in the penitentiary the other day to serve his unexpired term. Instead of leav. ing the state he went to Clay county, where he became prominent as S. D. Hawkins, at one time being justice of the peace. He was arrested by Sheriff Patterson of Woodruff county.

 county. If the report is true Cochise must be credited with the first dis coyery of this mineral in Arizona.
 MT. John Francis, the new superin- tendent of the Tucson shelter, like his predecessor, Mr. Hamilton, is man Of large experience in the hand ling and working of copper ores. In Chill before coming to Arizona, he was engaged in managing one of tic largest smelling plants in that country.
 Carl Holtzschue, a young man from Kansas, was clerking in the company store at Congress, and 'grubstakedn q couple of prospectors who located q claim in Fools Gulch, near that place. The location was recently sold for s30,0O0 cash, and Carl fell in for q cool ten thousand on tifty-dollar invest ment.
 Adyices from the renowned Silver King mine of Pinal county, are to the effect that true Assure vein of con- siderable size has been struck on the hundred foot level The ore is of q richness that compares well witt the output of the palmlest days, aud it is believed that at last the Silver King ledge has been found.
 Last week at the Pierce miue, in  Cochise county, some extra rich ore was struck running very high into the thousands some of which assaytd Sl0,000 per ton. II was well known that as work progressed in one Of tli' drifts the ore had been getting richel and this latest strike, which appears mostly in course boulders, runs in pockets in the ledge. A shipment was made few days ago containing some of this rich ore which with the ship ping grade will send the returns a very respectable average. It appears tle prospect of sale is nearing and doubtless the bonanza will soon change hands.
 The greatest copper strike in the mining history of Pima county was made last week in the Mineral Hill group owned and operated by Hughes and Barnes. The discovery was made in the 70 foot shaft of the Winnie mine and consists of ledge not less than twenty-five feet across of copper pyrites, shown by actual assays torun from l6 to 20 per cent. The value of the ore does not lie wholly in it's rich- ness or in it's immense body, but large ly in it's character for smelling pur- poses. The matter produced from it is valuable in the smelting of other ores and will enable the Tucson smelt- ing company to handle dry gold and silver ores which could not be other wise handled here. Very little of this kind of ore had previously been pro duced in this country
 A trip of 900 miles through the min ing districts of Arizona leads the writer to believe that Arizona will have the greatest mining boom within the next year she has ever experienced. Everywhere preparations are being made for operations on an extensive plan Old mills and old smelters are being cleaned up and repaired. In the foothills of the Bradshaw range along their west base, in the IIumbug min ing district, Yayapai county, there are a number of mines which will give to the world large amount of the precious metals during the next few years. The mines here have reached the stage in development which as- sures bullion producers The mines here have proven pay mines. The

I, it does not follow that this government
shoa'd now jeopardize its financial
! system in the ATTEMPT to right il. The
government owes 10 obligations "
this nature. Bccauss it once coined
silver at certain ratio is not sufficient
reason for doing 50 again when such
course is manifestly hazardous, SIM
ply for the sake Of patronizing the
mine owners. The government must
look out for all its citizens, Of which
the silver producers are only a part.
| Without doubt the demonstration
Of silver by the European countries
and this government did tend to de-
preciate its value. If all these coun-
tries had continued to coin it at the
old ratio up to the present time we
believe silver would now hold the re-
lation to gold that it once held. In
deed, we believe it would have been
better il all these countries had 50
coined it. But they did not and it
would have been unwise for the Unit
ed States alone to have done so. The
..slump" in the demand for silver
abroad would certainly have depreci-
lated it here.
This same condition exists to-day.
The United States alone simply can
not adopt free coinage at the old ratio
without attracting flood of silver by
offering a price greatly in advance Of
| It's value as commodity. How the
United States alone can maintain o.
cent dollars in the face of an unlimited
amount Of silver ready to be dumped
on our shores will puzzle anybody to
Iexp,ain. 1t is impossible. II the sill
yer supply were small. the govern
ment might maintain the price by
standing ready to purchase at that
price at all times. But the ability OF
anybody to purchase depends on their
resources. A party cannot pay more
| for anything than the thing is worth
more than other people pay for it
and keep ON buying indefinitely.
1 A pet argument with silverites is
THAT silver has not deprecated, but
that gold has grown dearer and i con-
sequently measure ofvalue by which
the creditor Expresses the debtor. Be
lcause cotton, wheat, etc, are lower IN
price than formerly and it takes q
larger quantity to "buy dollar" does
not settle the question against gold
4 Methods of production have improved
in nearly alllines and prices have con-
seauently fallen. The best measure
