The man who is always taking a
gloomy view of affairs, talking cf
hard times and poverty and proph.
esying all manner of evils, is not
the man to improve his own con-
dition or that of the country.
What we need in Arkansas, says
the Arkansas Democrat, is more
men who will talk moro. Of our
wealth and the glorious possibili'
ties in store for us, and fewer men
whose theme Is poverty and hard
times. The localities in Arkansas
that are most, favored, that have Sc
cured the most public Improve
ments and enjoyed the creates,
growth, are those that are. domi
mated by enterprising, progressive.
working men-men who put the
past behind them and live in the
present and, for the future. Give
Us more men Of this class and the
future Of Arkansas is assured.

THE ARKANSAS LEvEES.

The people Of Arkansas who
have recently voted upon them.
selves bond debt of S750,000 de-
serve every consid Grafton and en-
enlargement from the Federal gov
eminent. They have shown faith
in the efficacy of their works, and
they have manifested % desire to
take up and bear their full share
of the burden of necessary expense
in keeping the destructive floods
out of the fertile basin. 1t is said
that the Lord helps those who help
themselves, and If Uncle Sam has
any desire to emulate the Lords
example he should not hesitate to
help the people in the lowlands Of
Arkansas.
Three.quarters of a million dol
Lars is quite large sum for private
citi Gems living along the river to
pay, and when spent it should be
made effective.
Acct riding to reports, the allot-
ment m ade by the government will
not be s,,fficicnt when ad ded to the
$4,000 TO be raised on the bond
issue to complete the system. 1t
is estimated that another $3.50, 900
will be required TO complete the
work. The other $3.50, 900 should
be forthcoming. A levee that is
only partly completed is Of limited
value. 1t is like a wall around a
city with its gates left open and af.
fords but on Indifferent protection.
It must be completed.
The Arkansas levee district has
been making heroic efforts for PRO-
lection against the floods, and it
owes TO contractors and others Sow
eral thousand dollars. IN, claims Of
various sizes for work done and,
material furnished, and these cred.
itors will naturally expect their
money out Of the bond sale, and. no
doubt the levee board will be glad
to take up and pay off these claims
and concentrate them in u funded
debt. This will mean that some of
the money will have to. so for
work already done.
The people of the levee district
have done nobly, and they have
done all that should be expected of
them. Whatever else is necessary
the government should do, and do
at once. The next congress should
DO provided with all necessary
data and be enabled to take up this
matter and dispose of it once for
all. To this end the delegation
from Arkansas, Mississippi and
Tennessee should join and make a
common cause Of it, because these
states are interested in the ques-
tion.-Commercial Appeal.

Director Roberts Says it will Show an In

NEW YORK, August 3.-Director of
the Mint G. E. Roberts, who is- in New
York, estimated the gold output of
Australia for the present year at ten
millions in excess of that for 1898. He
said:
Australia will doubtless continue to
have trade obligations to settle with
England. Since the prospects point to
a continuance of the balance of trade
between this country and Europe being
in our favor, it is my opinion that Eng
land will go right along sending us
consignments of Australian gold direct.
We shall have all the gold we need.
Our position is that of creditor, but if
other countries are willing to make it
worth our while we may make other
terms"
