States would soon become a creditor
ration. The hope is universal that
sle prophecy will be verified ; but he
did not 20 into details, showing how
grch {. condition is to be reached at
en- early day.
We are sending abroad annually to
pay interest sum which indicates
that foreigners hold the securities of
our national, State and municipal
governments, and of railroad and
other corporations to the extent of
three or four billion dollars, which
are to be paid in gold Besides, it is
stated that we are paying foreigners
Tor transportation on the high seas
800, 600, 900 annually, and it is esti-
mated that our people expend in
travel abroad like sum. To meet
these constantly accruing obligations
will surely exhaust all the balances
OF trade in our favor and the produc-
tions of our gold mines. We may

will not assure loaning to foreign

The Wilson Printing Co. is the only printery in the city operat- ed by steam power. It is also the only exclusively job printing estab- lishment in the city. 1t also has more money invested in printing presses, machinery, type, stock, etc, than any other printing house in the State east of Little Rock. 1t also pays out more money for labor than any Pine Bluff printing house. and does larger business, both outside and inside of the city, han any of its local competitors. Ithas unequalled facilities in Pine Bluff for quick, neat and cheap commercial and job print ing, aLd has but few superiors in the South. It can therefore meet com petition from any quarter, in price, quality, speed or workmanship, and solicits orders with the guarantee of satisfaction.

St. Louis. Nov. 1O. Returns from all over Missouri are coming very slowly, though far rom complete; everything received points to the election of the en- tire Democratic state ticket by 10000 majority, and the election of a majority of the members of the legislature, insur- ing the election of United States Sem ator Cockrell. Three Republican con gressmen of St. Louis have been reelect- ed, but it is expected all congressional districts outside of the city will be rep. resented by Democrats, though final re- turns may change this somewhat
 In St. Louis the Republicans elected their city ticket by majorities ranging from 40o0 tc 700o

Indianapolis, Nov. 10. -The indiea. tions are that the Republican plurality will be near 15,0oo It may vary 2o00 either way from that estimate. Re- turns indicate that the Republicans have won in all the congressional districts ex. cept the Second, Third, Fourth and Twelfth. From returns at hand it would appear that the Republicans have a majority ill both branches of the legis- lature and a majority on joint ballot of about 16.

BAD ON THE sAWMILLs.
Choctaw Legislature Passes an Act Pro-
 hibiting the Cutting of Timber.

Choctaw Legislature Passes an Act Pro-
 hibiting the Cutting of Timber.
 Ardmore, I. T., Nov. The Choc taw legislature passed law which, m less it is vetoed by President Mckinley, will throw thousands of people out of employment and materially affect the lumber trade. It passed both houses and was approved by Governor Green McCurtain It repeals all laws now i'll force allowing a national agent to enter into contracts with sawmill owners and others permitting the cutting of timber of any kind or ties, or running sawmills within the nation.
 The Indians contend that the law was made necessary in order to protect the individual members of their tribe when tho time of allotment comes, and each buck is given his share of the land They say the timber is very valuable and they should be allowed to sell it as indlvidu- als., rather than the proceeds should go to the Choctaw nation as now. It is es. timated that between 1000 and 5000 people are dependent upon the timber industry in the Choctaw nation, and it is said all will be thrown out of employ ment when the law becomes effective.
 Before the bill can becomes law, it must be signed by the secretary of the interior and signed by President Mckinley.
 There are about 20 sawmills in the Choctaw country, and the daily output of these mills is about 100000 feet of lumber, which would be serious loss to the lumber trade if the new law be- comes effective.

WILL NOT CONSOLIDATE.
The Y. NJ H. 4. to Remain Ia It's oId
 Reliable Position.

A few days ago some salk was eur rent to the effect that the Y. M. Fl. A, very strong organization, was anticipating Generalization with the Bluff City Club. The above re port was true and it was thought for while that the consolidation would be effected.
 We were reliably informed this morning that majority of the Y. M. H. A. members were not in favor of uniting the two organizations. and at arecent meeting the question was unanimously voted down.
 Prominent members of the Y. M. H. A. gave this as their reason for not consolidating. We are in bet ter financial condition at present than we have been since our organi- zatlon and the prospects for the coming social season are very en- couraging and the majority of us think it best for us to remain in our present position.
 'The opening bal wlll be given one day next week and we can assure you 1t will be one of the grandest social functions ever given in this city or in the. State.

oallfornia's Next Senator Republican.


 San Francisco, Nov 10.- California has elected . Republican governor and probably the entire state ticket by plu- ralities estimated from 5000 to 10000. The election of Henry T. Gage, Repub- lican, over James G. Mcclure. Demo- crat, is conceded. The Republicans swept everything before them, and John D. Spreckles, the California member of the Republican national committee, claims the election of six out of seven congressman. There is even some doubt regarding the election of Devries, Dem- ocrat, in the Second district, who, two years ago. defeated Congressman George Johnson by 5000, but Devries will prob ably win by small majority.
 The Republicans have large majori- ty in the legislature, which will elect a United States senator to succeed Ste- phen NJ White, Democrat.
