people whose highest ambition is to array himself in a mass of feathers and greasy paint and break over the reservation in search of the scalp oi his unfortunate foe.
 The government, with that phil- anthropy which it has ever shown to the weak, has undertaken to place its protecting arm around the poor onteast and draw him in to the bosom of an independent father. This is all well enough perhaps. It might be well enough to preserve specimens of these, in many re- spects, truly grand aboriginees, but if this is to be done, if they are to be the objects of the nations bounty and loving care, why not send them to the barren rock piles of the East and care for them along with the other benefciaries of the nations protective system; or put them on the pension list as being as worthy to receive support in this way, as many who are maintained in idleness, and often worse, at the nations costP
 Something should be done with the Indians, besides settling them upon as fine farming lands as exists in the nation. I am not making War on the Indian, for 1 believe relig- iously in that grand old precept, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them" and would not like to have him make war on me.
 This territory added to Arkansas would make a grand State. As we do not now coneede superiority to any other State, with this addition we would claim to be superior to all others. It would not make a State too large. It would be difficult to get it too large, for as it would in crease in size and grandeur the peo- pie would grow in intelligence and patriotic love of their grand home State.
 But we need not quake through fear that the plan herein outlined will be adopted, and horde of yell ing, scalping savages be precipitat- ed upon us. It is merely a timely suggestion. There are many req sons why this course will not be pursued by the present administra tion, but the principal one and all sufficient one is that the electoral vote of Arkansas would still go to the Democratic party.

 County and Probate Judge.

DESTRUCTIVE SLEET,
TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION CUT OFF - ELECTRIC
 LIGHTS OUT.
Nearly Every Business House and Home Drmaged by Leakage Trees and shrubbery
 Demolished.

Pine Bluff was visited Saturday and Sunday by one of the most de- structive sleet storms seen for sever al years. The sleet commenced fall ing Saturday morning and continu- ed till Sunday at noon. The trees were weighted to the earth with their heavy burden. The ground is covered with their broken branches. The shade trees and shrubbery were grown by years ofcare and attention and the damage to them cannot be estimated.
 The telephone, telegraph, electric light and railroad companies are possibly the greatest sufferers. Many of their poles are broken and wires down, At Olive street on Third avenue a pole belonging to the new telephone company has snapped into threee pieces. It's wires fell across telegraph wires and cut off tele- graphis communication. The freight trains have been tied up in yards at way stationsesnd out in the woods, because orders could not be sent to, them. The Western Union Company will have b men cut on their lines. The Postal Telegraph Company will have force out, too.
 The Light < Water Company have eight lines and all but two have been rendered useless. Services could not be held at the churches last night. Most of the lights went out at 9 o'clock Sunday night; all were put out at midnight. Several live wires were on the ground, but all were watched.
 Many of the telephone wires are crossed and only poor service is giy- en. The damage to wires cannot be estimated. as the storm was general and wires are down all along the railroads.
 Nearly every business house in town suffered loss or inconvenience from leaking roofs. Men were called Out dt V CiOCA bouudcby nohHlHS u get goods from under streams.
 Kastor X Bluthenthal's pretty show window was struck by the water. Some of their other goods were damaged.
 The goods on the second and third floors of the Red Store were damag- ed.
 MT. A. Blum had his millinery and handkerchiefs damaged to the ex- tent of $500.
 Golden Eagle Co. was a heavy sui ferer. having lost several hundred dollars.
 s. A. Rosenberg's periodicals and books were damaged considerably.
 Gillespie X Bro. Co. lost some gro ceries and clothing.
 1. Dreyfus lost two awnings
 Robinson Bros. had paintings and pictures damaged.

ANNEXATION OF THE INDIAN
TERRITORY.

It has been suggested by some oi the newspapers of the State that il would be an appropriate act to merge the Indian Territory, Indians and all, into the great State of Ar kansas and give poor Lo the benefit of higher type of civilization than he can ever hope to build himself. This plan is not without it's advan- tages. It may, however, be con- ceded. without argument, that the acquisition of the Territory with it's productive area, without the war paint and wampun accompaniment, would be more agreeable. 1t would be grave error for us to undertake to reclaim too much ignorance and superstition at one time, and our first attention should be given 10 that which is now at our gates.
 l have heard it contended that our State is large enough and we should be content with it as it is. This strikes me as a weak argument. It could with equal propriety be con- tended that we had enough railroads, factories, oil mills, and business en- terprises in general. Conquest is the law and the nature of man. Ii is as impossible to confne the scope of Anglo-saxon genius or to limit its powers as it is to chain an elephant with a shoe string. The restless energy of man is constantly seeking new fields. Why not open this also to his enterprise and Vim? There is no legitimate or sensible reason. It would be to the interest of the Indian. If this race is ever to be elevated to that estate which will make the highest type of American citizen it must be by protecting them from themselves. If they are ever to be shaken from the cold, phlegmatie, unambitious form of to- day and made to assume a new shape, it must either be by that am algamation which will gradually de stroy the race; or by forcing upon them the necessity of labor, or ere ating in them an ambition to riva1 the pale face.
 Much has been said in song and story about the former granduer ol this race. We have been told in terms of extreme pathos of the aged Indian who ascends some distan elevation and, with tears trickling from his aged, be-dimmed eye, casts lingering glance at his once happy hunting grounds which have now closed to him forever. In the poets fancy we have seen the Indian lover woo his dusky mate beside the crys tai stream, and have wept because its ripping waters no longer refecf 1 their image. The Indian and tht buffalo, rowing insignia of a wild uncultured state, have each in theil turn given place to the encroach- ments of civilization, wrought bJ the relentless, all-conquerlng hand of the white man. Where erstwhilt the warwhoop resounded and tht sounds of the chase were heard, th' hand of civilization has sent th' church spire heaven ward.
 ! And yet it is all as it should b' the survival of the ittest. Tn busy hum of machinery, the majest' of mighty cities, the shrill shriek Q the iron horse, palatial steamer plying the mighty waters, all be token a high civilization whiel |could never come to any country Q 5 any State 4dlby class 2

BEAUTIFUL SCENES.

The people of this section never witnessed more pretty or phonome- nal scenes than those of Saturday night and this Mondayl morning.
 Although the elements of natnre were severe ana the sleet fell froW early Saturday afternoon until at noon Sunday, completely mnntllng the earth with an icy covering, ths severity of the climate was largely compensated for by the beauty and novelty of the scene.
 The earths the.ff1asas. 1IoWefs M shrubbery presented grand and brilliant spectacle. Each wae mantled o'er with ice us if encasedI n glass covering. 1t was nd and extraordinary sight for Southland of ours, and u prece for this extraordinary phenom4 is not within. tho memory of the est inhabitant.

But the sight of tall trees and beautiful foliage drap- ed with ice and fringed with fcicIes made q brilliant spectacle that ie rarely witnessed by inhabitants of this section, and it was one that will long be remembered.
 Another novel spectacle was redSS and yellow roses in full bloom covor- with ice at least an inch in thickness, presenting the appearance of roses eneased iuglass tubes or coverings.
 But 1t was youchsafed those wh0 were up late Saturday night and and witnessed the spectacle under the glare of electric lIgt to see ono of the prettiest winter scenes imagfa- able. Ii Is doubtful If frozen Niasra under the full glare of " inter sunlight ever presented q more brilliant sieht than the frozen trees and shrubbery of Pine Bluff as they reflected the aoft and mellow light last Saturday night. -
