The wheat crop in Arkansas,
says the Arkansas Democrat, cs-
pecially in the section which has
heretofore produced little or no
wheat, is exceptionally large.
The yield in the central and south
western sections is large and the
quality excellent. When Saline
county farmers can produce yield
of thirty-three bushels of fine hard
wheat TO the acre ii would seem
that the wheat problem had been
solved. When farmer can make
such yield there will not be great
temptation TO plant cotton that
may yield one-fourth or onc-third
Of a bale to the acre. If there was
as much or more money to the
acre in raising cotton the advant-
age is still in favor of wheat. be.
cause it is crop which, as COM
pared with cotton, requires httle
time and labor. When every
county in Arkansas shall produce
all the wheat necessary to supply
its people with bread we shall
have made a long stride toward
industrial independence.

Financial and industrial reports
for the second quarter of the pres
cnt year, says the Gazette, are
very satisfactory. Business fail
ures during this period have been
less than fifth of l per cent. of
the total volume of business trans
acted, while the average failure is
about one-eighth of ! per cent.
Surely this is very fine showing
II is quite evident that the war is
having no effect upon the general
business of the country. The vol
ume of business during the frs,
week in July was very large,
while exports of grain were abnor-
mally heavy. According to Dun's
Review the volume of business for
June, as shown by clearing house
exchanges, was 23.4 per cent.
larger than last year for the
month and ll.9 per cent. larger
than in 1892, while railroad earn
ings from all roads reporting for
the first half of the year, covering
receipts of about $3.50, 100000,
have been 12.S per cent. larger
than last year and 5.5 per cent.
larger than in 1892. Tonnage
east-bound from Chicago has been
1853 per cent. larger than for the
iirst quarter and As per cent. for
the second quarter than last year,
and 10 per cent. larger for the first

second quarter than in 1892. In
dustrial conditions have been i'm

never brighter. The outlook for
the future is very encouraging and

In the present uncertain attitude
of this feature of the results of the
war, it may be best for America to
speak out her plans without await
ing further results. There are
only three plans open for consider
alton in the matter. One is the
retention and government of these
islands in such manner as this
country may determine. The Sec
ond is the joint administration of
the government by the powers in
terested IN the east, similar to that
of Samoa now. The third is the
sale Of the whole outfit to some
power wanting to acquire that ter
ritory. The returning of them to
Spain is not thought of. If they
are to be sold. only such nation
as would administer generous
and merciful government would be
acceptable as a bidder, and the
purchaser would surely have to be
able to defend them against others.
Jealousies and wars would likely
result. The second proposition
would surely involve this country
in numerous and dangerous dis
putes as to the methods of govern
meDt, for we have never agreed
with any of them heretofore. That
experiment would be very hazard
Gus. The first proposition seems
TO be the one we shall be forced to
adopt. 1t is the one from which
the best results will flow. 1t is
the one which will silence all other
discussions and settle disputes be-
fore begun. 1t is the one which
will most command the respect of
all jealous powers. 1t is the one
which declares u national policy
of progress, development, expan-
sion, civilization and Christianity.
a policy in accordance with the
DEGREES of omnipotence and the
behests of humanity.
1t is reported that President
Mchlnley Is thinking OF calling q
congress of the powers to take
counsel in the matter of the dispo-
sition OF the Philippines. This
should never be done. lie had as
well pursued that course in the
declaration of hostli,ies. 1t would
be unprecedented and fragrant
weakness. America has never in.
termeddled with the settlement of
any European war. She has mover
asked any European country to
aid in the settlement of her own
wars. She asks none of their helm
in prosecuting the one now on
hand and when she is the victor
she must say on what terms il
shall end. The Philippines are
ours and we believe they should
remain SO and the sooner we tell
it out boldly to the world the
sooner our danger Is oyer.-Ar.

The improvement of county
roads is question which cannot
100 soon be given the earnest at
tention of the people of this coun-
try. In somo places the roads are
good; in some places they are
abominable. Good roads in this
country may be acquired with less
effort than in many other locai-
ties, and a strong effort should be
made in this direction. Every
property owner, farmer and bust
nessman in the country is finan-
cially interested in this question:

The Philippine Question.

So far as the news from the war
operations in the far east is con-
cerned it is not known that the
capital of the Philippine islands is
yet under the American flag. But
enough is known to consider that
fact practically accomplished.
Rear Admiral Dewey is only
awaiting his own good time and
convenience TO accomplish the
complete result. 1t is to be hoped
that but little more time will be
taken in settling this matter. The
sooner it is done the less liability
for further complications. 1t is
proposition seemingly conceded
by all unlocking and interested
nations that Spain must give up
her cIs-Atlantic colonies and that
Cuba and Porto Rico are hope
lessly gone as Spanish possessions.
1t is so with the Philippine archi-
pelago and the Ladrones and Caro-
lima groups of the Asiatic seas.
The capture, possession and dispo-
siton Of these Spanish colonial
possessions will prove the danger
Gus bone Of diplomatic contention
in the final termination of hostili-
ties. And it is by no means GER
tain that they will not provoke
additional troubles before the end
comes.
1t Is evident from the European
press that Americas foot-hold in
the Asiatic seas is not desired by
any European power, probably
England excepted. Germany

pending its hostile occupancy by

men living in Manila. SO often
sively suspicious was this conduct
OF the bellicose and avariclous
Kaiser. that Great Britain thought
it well to line up four of her best
batilcshlps in the same harbor to

If additional war troubles are to

can be set TO catch Americans in |

They are from those who do not
believe in the efficacy of prayer.
All such are not expected to en-
dorse the proclamation. The
Washington Post in defending the
presidents action, which really
needs no defense, but should be
highly commended and his request
universally complied with, says:
"There are quite number of
people in this country who de.
voutly believe that God answers
prayers. To a greater or less ex-
tent all Christians believe in the
doctrine Of special providences.

blessings on our arms. Where
was there ever in the history of
mankind any incident or lncid ents
OF war that could fortify belief
in special providences so strongly
as the naval engagements at Ma
Mia and Santiago-the destruction
of two powerful fleets with the
loss of only one man on the side
of the vIctors? If ever the pious
were justified in believing that
God had answered their prayers
may not the bishops and clergy
and laity of our churches point 10
Santiago and Manila in answer to
scoffers?"
There are quite number of
people in this country who do not
believe in thanksgiving ceremonies
of any character and whose hearts
are never touched with gratitude
for the personal blessings they en-
JOY. 1t is impossible for them to
manifest any patriotic feeling,
either real or feigned. But this
carping class is comparatively
small and without influence. The
good people of this country, in the
pulpit and out of it, at the home
fireside, have been petltionlng the
Almighty ever since the war be-
gan, prayerfully beseeching Him
that victory should attend our
arms. These prayers have been
answered, and prompt response
was made by the grateful nation
on Sunday last to the presidents re-
quest. In nearly all the churches
illusions were made to our victo-
ries and earnest prayers offered
for the speedy termination of the
war. Thankfulness took the place
of exultation and words of sorrow
for the misguided creatures who
We're blindly plunged into war
against the greatest Christian ma
ton on earth were uttered. The
occasion was not made season of
rejoicing but one Of thankfulness.
The end of the war means freedom
and civilization for millions of
hapless souls who have never
tasted, the sweets of liberty. To

 Expenditure of Si6,000000

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 15-A railroad build Ing race involving the expenditure of s16,- 0000o0 has been commenced by two wealthy corporations, each of which desires to own the first railroad into the Yukon country. Each road will be about 400 miles long, run- ming from Pyramid, near the head of Lynn canal, to points on Lewis river, below Five Finger rapids.
 The companies back of the railroad proj- ects are the London Exploration company and the Yukon company organized last summer by Andrew F. Burleigh, the prin- cfpai stockholders of which are Philadelphia and New York men. Both corporations have surveyors and engineers at work be- tween Pyramid harbor and the Lewis river. The projectors of both roads figure on an average cost of $20 900 mile, requiring an outlay of over GOO for each road.
 The equipment for each will cost about $1 900 900 more. Both companies have se- cured right Of way from the Canadian gov ernment and are now working to secure from congress the necessary rights of way through the eight miles of American terri tory.
