MAIL MATTERS—GIVE US
BETTER POSTAL AR
RANGEMENTS.
Almost every issue of any news
paper published on the line of the
Little Rock and Fort
Smith Rail road contains com
plaints about the inefficiency and
miserable inadequacy of our mail
| service along this route. M e
know ourselves, and have known
fora long time, that there is great
room for complaint, but we have
been patient in hope of seeing the
department better the matter.
The department pays foradaih
mail service between here am
Little Rock, but if we mail a let
ter at this office to-day for At
kins, just one hours time below
here on the railroad, it will take
it from three to five days to reach
that post office, having to go all
the way to the distributing office
at Little Rock aucl then return
from there.
So, if we mail our paper Thurs
day morning for Garlandsville, -1
miles above here, in place of going
up on the train at 1 o’clock and
being in the hands of subscribers
that evening, it goes down to Lit
tle Rock, and generally is not re
turned until Monday. The mail
service on this route as managed
at present, although better than
nmio ia ft irreat nuisance, and we
think something should be done
in the premises.
Some time since there was a pe
tition at this office which had been
. all along the line above here and
I had been signed by all the post
| masters, newspaper men and
! other influential parties, for the
: establishment of the postal car
1 service on this route. We had
! hoped that the petition would be
! granted and all our ineonvicnce
; remedied, but we have heard noth
! ing from it as yet. This would
! be just what ire need and would.
I in our opinion, put a stop to all
| causes of complaint We trust
, the department will attend to this
matter at once and give ns tbc
! postal car service which we need
! so badly and which it no doubt
ought to have for the amount
paid out on this route.
S—
GIVE THEM A CHANCE,
“BltlCK!”
Judging from the temper of the
last few issues of Pomeroys Dcm
ocrat, friend “Brick” must be
terribly out with ahe democratic
regime in New York. There may
be some cause for all his spleen
toward the World, Gov. Tilden
and other individuals, and when
ever individual democrats tie
wrong we glory in his spunk for
pitching into them. Democrats
when they pollute the offices
they hold ought to enjoy no more
immunity from censure than re
publicans, but we think Mr. Poui
croy’s zeal is carrying him just a
dot too far, and is causing him U
bring the whole democracy inte
censure for the deeds of a few,
In one of his articles lie savs:
“If Democracy will not protect
the plow holder, let the farmers
the Patrons of Husbandry, the
laborers, the tax payers, the free
voters of the United State’s cul
loose from Democracy and make
terms with some party, some ele
ment, some principle that will pro
toet labor anel encourage enter
prise.”
We must say that wc see no use
for any such “ifs”—no cause foi
making any such suppositions 01
conditional propositions. Wher
has democracy, when it had the
administration of affairs, ever yd
failed to “protect labor or cucour
■ age enterprise?'’ We just sug
gest that the eiemocracy be firsi
given a chance. Clive us a elem
oerntic administration first nut
then if labor is not protected aue
enterprise encouraged—then wil
be time enough to talk iibou
cutting loose. If wc cannot lool
to the Democracy of the Unitce
States for a betterment of ou:
condition, where can we look
We see no use of arraigning tin
democracy for the evils of ou
present politics. It is all tin
work of tjie republican party am
we have none but a democrats
administration to look to for :

THK FINANCIAL, ISSUE.
The financial issue—the ques
tion of “a hard or a soft, a yellow
or a green” currency it seems, ac
cording to Mr. Fernando Wood,
is not of ahy great importance
after all.
In nil interview betwocn that
gentleman and a uewspnper re
porter a few days ago he was
asked whether he thought the
financial question would assume
dimensions of any importance in
the Presidential campaignc. lie
replied “None whatever.” He
asserted that those republicans
who are trying to raise an issue
between hard money and paper
do not know what they mean.
Mr. Wood then went on to say:
“Some people have a theory that
more greenbacks are needed, but
they are scattered among all par
ties and factions of parties in ex
istence. Some people say they
arc in favor of immediate resump
tion, but how is it to be done?
On that point opinions vary as
widely as the points of the com
pass. We have any number of
ingenious individuals among us
who fancy themselves competent
to be our financial Saviours, but
their ways are varied and won
derful. I do not think it worth}’
of a thought whether it is called
a ‘hard’ or a ‘soft,’ a ‘yellow’ or a
‘green’ on financial questions is
innrhi ProBiilmtf Kvorvlinflv
j wants a greenback dollar to be
worth a golden dollar. Agitation
! and experiment are not the most
j ellicient means that can be era
! ployed to make it so. The nation
is able to take care of itself.
When the proper time conics we
shall have redemption, simply
because we shall have commercial j
and financial confidence fully re j
stored. That is what resumption
means. No one cares for hard ;
I gold. Paper is more convenient, i
What everybody does want, how-;
ever, is to know that he can get i
! gold for his dollar when he pleases, j
; and knowing this he docs not
i want the coin at all. With the
1 establishment of sound princi
! pics of government and economy
i will come prosperity in the nation.
With prosperity will come restor
ed confidence, and with confidence
a settlement of what people per
sist in calling our fiuaucial diffi
culties.”
We rather like Mr. Woods view
of this matter and think that this
is a matter which will regulate
itself as soon as we get a return
to an administration where sound
principles of government shall
predominate. This we shall have
when the democratic adiniiisitra
tion of 1870 arrives.
FERNANDO WOOD ON THE
SITUATION.
Fernando Wood in a recent in
terview with a New York Herald
correspondent gives his views on
[ the political outlook. He thinks
,there will be no disruption of the
j democracy in the state of New
: York, that the party cannot be
I defeated and that it would be
hard for it to even defeat itself,
j New York he thinks is irretrieva
bly democratic.
In reply to the question as to
j his opinion of the republican par
v * .e - i—• ,,v v,*v
i close of Grant's term of office,
Mr. Wood said that he believed
it to be already dead and gone
with the temporary causes which
called It into existence. Repub
licanism, Mr. Wood said, never
attained the dignity of a party
and he did not regard it as ever
having been entitled to the name
of a party. It was a conspiracy
he said,—the conspiracy of a few
men who found followers in fanat
ics blind enough to believe in
their sincerity and in guerillas
who looked upon success as the
gateway to license and plunder.
The war gave it the opportunity
to rob at its will, to enrich its
followers and to outrage liberty.
While war lasted the conspiracy
lived and flourished and the 1110b
that followed it ran riot in the
States. When the elements that
I produced it disappeared republi
. eanisiu evaporated. It had noth
ing to feed on. It had no war, no
plunder, no more otlices to fill, no
; more contracts to bestow and It
' j died. To talk about Grant or
-1 Blaine or Konkling saving it is
I all nonsense.
What is the difference between
II the North and South Pole? All
| the difference in the world.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
In accordance with previous no
tice there was a meeting at the
school-house on last Friday
night, for the purpose of discus
sing the means that can be de
vised to sustnin a free public
school at this place. Owing tc
the small attendance, it was deem
ed best to adjourn until Monday
uiglit
On Monday night the citizens
of the place again met and aftei
discussing the mntter at length,
it was resolved to make an effort
to raise sufficient means by solic
itiug donations, which added tc
the school fund of this district,
will be necessary to carry on the
school. A committee of three
was appointed to canvass the
school district for subscriptions
to the fund and to report to the
meeting on next Monday night.
Mr. J. L. Shinn, with characteris
t*c generosity, proffered the use
of the school building and furni
tore free of cost This will be a
saving of some three hundred
dollars per year. The sum ol
$:1G5 was subscribed by those
present, and the meeting adjourn
ed.
This is a matter of most vi
tal importance to our town. It is
a shame for the poor children ol
hitrn fn ltd nrrmvimr im in idlnnnsa
f *-» *
and Without the op(»ortuuity of
attending school.
These little girls and hoys will
all be members of this community
and the character of the men and
women which they will make
when grown up, and their station
in society, and the influence they
will exert, all depends upon their
proper education and training
now.
We must have better school fa
cilitics than wc now enjoy, if wc
expect to grow and prosper as wc
wish to. If we neglect our schools
our town will be shunned by all
intelligent people. It is to be
hoped that our citizens will take
the proper view of this matter and
respond liberally to the call made
upon them. Those who arc able
to contribute anything canno*
place it where it will be a greater
blessing than to bestow it to this
cause. Kcincmber the meeting
next Monday night, and be on
hand ready to do your duty as
public spirited, generous citizens.
THE QUESTION OF NATION
AL FINANCES.
Read the communication in to
day’s paper on the Financial
question which is agitating the
country to a great extent. We
have no doubt the view of our
correspondent is correct, and wc
believe with him that the ques
tion of metal or paper currency
is of no moment whatever; the
great question being shall the
government furnish the currency
UIIU I Clip lilt1 Ut'llt'lll, II UIIU1
shall the huge bonded monopo
lies—the national banks—do it.
The government really furnishes
the means any how, aud why
place it in the hands of specula
tors to use as engines of oppres
sion and fraud? Why not fur
nish it to the people, from whom
it derives it, direct?
Let us Know Tour Wants.
The time for the meeting of the
next session of the general assem
bly’—the adjourned meeting, we
mean—approaches rapidly and
will be here ere we know it. The
legislature when it assembles
should proceed at once with all
expediency aud see what is to be
done, and do it. In our present
embarrassed financial condition
the session should not continue a
day longer than necessary.
If there is anything to do, let
it be done carefully and well, but
let us have no killing of time.
If there are any of our citizens,
voters or tax-payers who know ol
any particular subject which
needs the attention of tho legis
lature at its next session let them
make it known by the use of oui
columns and we will do all we can
to bring it to the early attention
of the general assembly when they
meet. Now is the time to maki
your wants known and discust
any measures you i: ay waut the
next legislature to act upon. Our
columns are open to the free use
of any of our subscribers or other
taxpayers of the county for the
introduction of anything of this
kind.
THE LAW IN THK CASE.
We mentioned last week that
two of our young men had been
appointed by county Supt. Moses
as benefleiaries to the Arkansas
Industrial University and ex
pressed our opinion that such ap
pointment was irregular and not
made in accordance with the law
as it now is. In support of our
opinion we now refer to sec. 6 of
an act entitled “An act changing
board meetings and establishing
the office of Regent for the Arkan
sas Industrial University and
other purposes,” approved March
6, 1875.
This section provides that the
Board of Trustees shall apportion
the number ofbeneficiarics among
the different counties of the state
according to population, and shall
notify the Judge ok the County
Court of each county of the num
ber of beneficiaries apportioned to
his county at least one month
prior to the annual meeting of the
county court for levying taxes;
and the County Court at said
UIVVI/llig IIV'IX MV«UH>
residents of the county, the num
ber of beneficiaries apportioned
to the county, a preference being
given to those noted for diligence
and proficiency in study, and the
appointments so made shall be
entered of record in the proceed
ings of said court. Any vacancy
which may occur during the term
shall be tilled by the County
Judge.
From this it will be seen that
Mr. Moses erred in making the
appointments. His selections
were excellent, and we would have
no objection to thatolHcer making
the appointments if it was the
LAW.
Judge Tliach informs us that
lie has received no notice yet of
the apportionment, but as the
court does not meet until the 25th
day of Oct., there is ample time
and we presume that the matter
will be atteuded to in due season.
Since writing ttte foregoing,
Judge Thach has shown us an
announcement which he has just
received from the Secretary of the
[ Board of Trustees from which it
appears that Pope couuty is enti
; tied to four beneficiaries and that
there are four vacancies to be
tilled. Beneficiaries are required
to pay a matriculation fee of $5,00.
; Board in the town and and vicin
j ity $3,00 to $3,50 per week.
; For the Democrat.]
Inflation, Contraction, Specie
Payments ami the Ohio
Democratic Platform.
A deal of verbiage about “In
flation” and a considerable amount
of unmerited abuse of the Ohio
platform Alls the columns of some
of the very “Indcpendent”journals
which seem, at least, to be battling
for those monstrous frauds, the
miscalled national banks. Now
the word inflation or expansion is
not contained in said platform,
but it opposes contraction and it
“goes” for the banks, and that is
what hurts.
The truth is the government is
controlled and “run” by ns mcau
and lively a set of moneyed aris
tocrats as ever cursed a country.
Why in Heaven’s name should
this mighty government “farm
out” to a ring of scoundrels the
power to furnish forty millions of
hard working men and women
with a currency when the gov
ernment could furnish a better
and cheaper currency. The most
detestable act ever passed by a
radical congress was that creating
the so-called National banks, for
if they are to continue in exist
ence, and the green-backs are to
be retired and more bunk bills
issued in their place, the people
will be reduced to a miserable
slavery.
There is no mistake about it; a
moneyed aristocracy is worse for
.1 nation and can do more to crush
lout its liberties than all the he
rcclitary or “slave aristocrats” in
the world.
It is the imperative duty of the
government to furnish the best
currency it can and as the specie
in all in the hands of wealthy
speculators, the next best it can ,
do is to furnish green backs which
it some respects are better than
gfeld, being more convenient. As
to inflation, contraction and specie
payments, it is all gammon. No- |
body looks for a return to specie ,
payment in the next ten years, j
but if the bank-gentry can gull
the nation by talk of harmony and
raising a dust about “inflation |
then induce Congress to withdraw
all the green-back circulation,
their bills will have double pur
chasing power, and they will have
accomplished what they so much
desire.
The N. Y. World and a few
other tools and hired agents of
the bond holders have their slate
made up of their friends with
Tilden at the head and thev don't
care a cent whether he is elected
or not if he can only defeat a good
democrat and re-elect Grant. The
N. Y. World is not a democratic
paper, it is simply the mouth
piece of the Rothchilds and the
money lenders, the editors are
not even naturalized citizens.
The people of the South and
West want a true honest capable
statesman, a real patriotic one
who loves his fellow citizens bet
ter than bonds or bullion.
The Ohio and Missouri dem
ocracy are right; they represent
the people, not that class of men
whom the Savior drove out of the
Temple. The people desire a
uniform currency and if paper
money or green-backs are good
enough for the merchant and
working man they should be good
enough for the bond holder and
good at the custom house. The
government should not repudiate
its own issue by refusing it for
duties on imports.
Banking ought to be free for
all who have enough capital and
bankers should be compelled to
make depositors perfectly secure.
But government should never
furnish the capital as it is doing
uow. As it stands now the capit
alist draws interest in gold on
bonds which cost him forty or
fifty cents on the dollar and then
the government gives him ninety
per cent, of his bonds to bank on.
I say “give” for it is an actual
gift for the time his bank exists.
Still he is not satisfied, he wants
no competition in the money
making business, government
must withdraw her circulation
then he can “refund.” “inflate”
or “contract” as may suit liis in
terests.
It is to be desired that this
whole subject shall be well under
stood by the business and pro
ducing classes everywhere.
Beware of the schemes of great
rings!
They arc the bond holders and
bankers' rings.
The whiskey distillers rings.
They own all such papers as
the N. Y. Herald and N. Y.
World and will influence every
purchasable politician and paper
in the U. S.
The democratic party has been
beaten often enough by these
money leeches.
Let us have a candidate for
president in 1876 whose sympa
thies arc with the people who
■arcs as much for the inhabitants
of the great West as for the mon
;y lenders of the East. Hen
dricks will do. I am perhaps
spinning this out too long, but
hope this may induce some one
who is competent, to thorougbly
ventilutc the whole subject. I
repeat that it is not inflation
against contraction, but green
backs or tho people's money
against the expensive national
bank bjlls. C. E. T.

Booneville Enterprise, 20th.:
Rev. O. P. Thomas of Dardanelle
and Capt. J. W. Bussell of Rus
sellville delivered lectures on
Wednesday night in the interest
of Temperance. After the con
clusion of the lecture they pro
eeeded to organize a Lodge of the
Independent Order of Good Tem
plars. Twenty-three persons in
cluding some of our prominent
citizens and ladies took part in
the organization of the new Lodge.
We wish them much success in
their efforts in the temperance
cause.
Ark. City Post, 10th: We
learn that considerable damage to
crops has befalbn the planters of
Red Fork Bayou and Cypress
Creek neighborhoods. A few
weeks ago, crops were never bet
ter in those localities.
Ft. Smith Independent: A
new paper will make its appear
ance in our neighboring town, to
be called the Van Buren Argus,
and will be issued about the first
of November. Hon. Gran. Wil
cox, editor, and Thayer and Cass,
printers. The Argus is to be an
independent democratic paper.
JacksonportHerald, 21st: Crop
prospects, from the latest and best
information to be had, are still
good, and an abundant yield of
the staff of life is already assured.
Cotton is doing splendidly, and
( ur farmers are consequently in
the best of spirits.
Pine Bluff Press, 19th: The
crops arc in excellent condition
in this section, and a bountiful
harvest is now confidently expect
ed.
Camden Beacon, 21st: A heavy
hail storm passed over a portion
of this county last week, doing
considerable damage to the cotton.
Col. O. A. Greening, a few miles
from town, had seven or eight
acres badly damaged at the same
time.
State, 20th: Mayor D. H.
Thomas has sent us a stalk of
what he calls Egyptian millet
which measures over eight feet,
lie promises us more information
hereafter on this grass or grain.
We shall wait; it may be vulun
ble. The specimen looks like
cattail.
Southern Standard, 21st: The
first bale of new cotton, Arkansas
raised, passed up the railroad
this week, on its way to St. Louis.
We understand it was raised near
Dooley’s Ferry, on Red River,
but did uot learu who by.
Ciundcii Beacon: We regret to
note the accidental death of Mr.
John W. Blake, of Nevada county,
which occurred at this place near
Bell’s store on the 10th inst. It
seems that Mr. Blake was engag
ed in removing an old gin house,
and while tearing down and re
moving the old rubbish, he by
some means knocked away a piece
of “studding” or “brace,” and the
old frame being somewhat rotten,
the whole thing gave way and fell,
a heavy “girder” striking him on
the breast, from the effects of
which he died in about an hour.
Mr. Blake was an old citizen, and
one of the best-to do farmers in
the whole South west. Sad in
deed.
