AN ABLE ADDRESS.

Hon. s. J. Hunt, an attorney Of this city who delivered an address before the Alumini Association of Hendrix College, Conway, Ark, recently, has received favorable com- ment from all the leading journals of the state. The paper shows that a master hand prepared it and in point of it's literary merit is an excellent and able essay. His subject was :: "Imperialism or the Forcible Annex ation of the Philippines. In this paper he clearly and fore bly, asserts and proves that it is a dangerous departure for this government to change the national policy that has made and will keep us great" He also has undeniablY proven that the revenue derived from the islands would be inadequate to pay us for the expenses and trouble they would occasion. We congratulate Mir. Hunt on hIs efforts and predict for him a brilliant future in the profes- sion he has chosen.

The Pine Bluff delegation of Elks departed Monday afternoon for St. Louis. Each was laden with badges of different varieties. They wore straw hats with purple (the Elk's color) bands. In the parade, in which at least 10000 Elk's will participate, they will wear black coats with white duck pants and carry a white umbrella. Just think, 10000 white umbrellas as far as the eye can see. It will doubtless be a most interesting sight.

DESCENDED FROM a KING,
Man Whose Ancestry Goes
Back to the Pokanoket Indians.

Wisconsin, Man Whose Ancestry Goes
Back to the Pokanoket Indians.
An American citizen descended from
a king Is something Of an anomaly, but
the town Of Chiffon, Wis, boasts Of
such character in the person Of Ste
phen Nicholas. He Is descended from
the famous Indian King Philip of the
Pokanoket tribe of Massachusetts, the
warrior who gained such fame among
the early settlers Of the country, and
the traits Of his ancestors showed in
the young man when he was In his
prime. ~
Stephen was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Moses Stanton when he was years
old, and was brought to Wisconsin.
He grew up sturdy lad, and when u
years of age he was as perfect speci-
men of manhood as there could be
found In the country. His occupations
and sports were such as to make him
an athlete, and his endurance, tried in
long tramps through the forests with
little to eat on the way, was superhu-
man. He was fearless and bold as a
lion, shrewd and quick to act, and the
cause which "Steve Nick" championed

Political Drift.

The boom in wages Is one of the most
hopeful signs Of the times, and it will
do much to counterfeit the effect of the
trust-promoting craze. fv
Bryan Is just boarding around
among the Democrats, who are giving
banquets in his honor. 1t Is easy for
some men to make living.
Congress has decided that a man
ought not to be punished for taking up
arms in defense of his country. Gen
eral Wheeler will continue to sit in the
House.
Mr.. Cleveland's name is occasionally
mentioned in connection with a third
term. The mass of Democrats do not
like Cleveland. but he is the only man
they have been able to make President
since 1856
In the closing months Of Cleveland's
second administration the balance Of
trade in favor of the United States
averaged less than $7,OO0OOO a month.
The present average is over $54, COO, 900
a month. Foreign trade and a Repub-
lican tariff get along together hand
