Let us Know Your Wants.

The time for the meeting of the next session of the general assem- blythe adjourned meeting, we mean-approaches rapidly and will be here ere we know it. The legislature when it assemblies should proceed at once with all expediency and 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 taxpayers who know of any particular subject which needs the attention of the lcgis- laturc at it's next session let them make it known by the use of our 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 make your wants known and discuss any measures you ray want the

THEQUESTION OF NATION.
 AL FINANCES.

Read the communication in to- days paper on the Financial question winch is agitating the country to great extent. We have no doubt the view of our correspondent is correct, and we 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 and reap the benefit, if any, or shall the huge bonded monopo- lies--the national banks-do it. The government really furnishes the means any how, and why place it Tn the hands of specula- tors to use as engines of oppres- slon and fraud? Why not fur nish it to the people, from whom it derives it, direct?

GIVE THEM A CHANGE,
 "BRICK!"

Judging from the temper of the last few issues of Pomeroys Dem 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 do 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 ccnsurc than re- publlcans, but we think MT. Pom eroy's zeal is carrying him just a dot too far. and is causing him to bring the whole democracy into censure for the deeds of . few. In one of his articles he says:
 If Democracy will not protect the blow holder, let the farmers, the Patrons of Husbandry, the laborers, the taxpayers, the free voters of the United States cut loose from Democracy and make terms with some party, some ele- ment, some principle that will pro- tect labor and encourage enter prise"
 We must say that we see no use for any such "Ifs"-no cause for making any such suppositions or conditional propositions. When has democracy, when 1t had the administration of affairs, ever yet failed to protect labor or encour- age enterprise?' We just sug- gest that the democracy be first given a chance. Give us a dem ocratlc administration first and then if labor is not protected and enterprise encouraged-then will be time enough to talk about cutting loose. If we cannot look to the Democracy of the United States for a betterment of ou, condition, where can we look We see no use of arraigning the democracy for the evils of oul present politics. It is all tho work of the republican party ana we have none but a democratic administration to look to for : correction

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

In accordance with previous mo- ticc there was 2 meeting at the school house on last Friday night, for the purpose of discus sing the means that can be de- vised to sustain a free public school at this place. Owing to the small attendance, it was deem ed best to adjourn until Monday night.
 On Monday night the citizens of the place again met and after discussing the matter at length, it was resolved to make an effort to raise sufficient means by solic- ting donations, which added to 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. Mir. J. L. Shinn, with claracteris- tic generosity, proffercd the use of the school building and furni- ture free of cost. This will be saving of some three hundred dollars per year. The sum of $365 was subscribed by those present, and the meeting adjourn ed.
 This is matter of most vi- tai importance to our town. It is a shame for the poor children of town to be growing up Tn idleness and without the opportunity of attending school.
 These little girls and boys 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 fla cilitics than we now enjoy, if we expect to grow and prosperas we wish to. live neglect our schools our town will be summed by all intelligent people. It is to be hoped that our citizens will take the proper view of this matter and respond libcrally to the call made upon them. Those who are able to contribute anything cannot place it where it will be greater blessing than to bestow it to this cause. Remember the meeting next Monday night, and be on hand ready to do your duty as public spirited, generous citizens.

FERNANDO WOOD ON THE
 SITUATION.

Fernando Wood in a recent in terview with New York Herald correspondent gives his views on the political outlook. He thinks there will be no disruption of the democracy in the state of New York, that the party' cannot be defeated and that it would be hard for it to even defeat itself. New York he thinks is irretrieva- ply democratic.
 In reply to the question as to his opinion of the republican par ty retiring from power at the close of Grants term of office, Mir. Wood said that he believed it to be already dead and gone with the temporary causes which called 1t into existence. Repub- licanism, Mir. 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 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 it's will, to enrich it's followers and to outrage liberty. While war lasted the conspiracy lived and flourished and the mob that followed it ran riot in the States. When the elements that produced it disappeared republi canism evaporated. It had noth- ing to feed on. It had no war, no plunder, no more offices to fill, no more contracts to bestow and 1t died. To talk about Grant or Blaine or Konkling saving it is all nonsense.

MAIL MATTERS---GIVE US BETTER POSTAL AR.
 ATTACHMENTS.

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 ineiliciency and miserable inadequacy of our mail service along this route. We know ourselves, and have known for a 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 for a daily mail service between here and Little Rock, but if we mail a let ter at this office today 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 and then return from there.
 So, if we mail our paper Thurs day morning for Garlandsville, 4 miles above here, in place of going up on the train at l o'clock and being in the hands of subscribers that evening, it goes down to Lit tie Rock, and generally is not re- turned until Monday. The mall service on this route as managed at present, although better than none, is a great nuisance, and we think something should be done in the premises.
 Some time since there was a pc tition at this office which had been all along the line above here and had been signed by all the post masters, newspaper men and other influential parties, for the establishment of the postal car service on this route. We had hoped that the petition would be granted and all our inconvience remedied, but we have heard noth ing from it as yet. This would be just what we need and would in our opinion, put a stop to all causes of complaint. We trust the department will attend to this matter at once and give us the postal car service which we need so badly and which it no doubt ought to have for the amount paid out on this route.

For the DEMoCRAr.1 Imitation, Contraction, Specie Payments and the Ohio
 Democratic Platform,

A deal of verbiage about "In- fation" and a considerable amount of unmerited abuse of the Ohio platform fills the columns of some ofthe very Independent journals which SEEM, at least, to be battling for those monstrous frauds, the miscallcd national banks. Now the word imitation 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 as mean and lively set of moneyed aris- tocrats as ever cursed country. Why in Heavens 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 bank bills issued in their place, the people will be reduced to miserabl . slavery.
 There is no mistake about 1t; a moneyed aristocracy is worse for q nation and can do more to crush ! out its liberties than all the he

THE FINANCIAL ISSUE.

The financial issue-thc qucs- tion of "a hard or soft, a yellow or green" currency it seems, ac- cording to Mir. Fernando Wood, is not of ahy great importance after all.
 In an interview between that gentleman and a newspaper re- porter few days ago he was asked whether he thought the financial question would assume dimensions of any importance in the Presidential campaigne. He 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. Mir. 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 are in favor of immediate resump- tion, but how is it to be done! On that point opinioLs 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 Saviolrs, but their ways are varied and won derful. l do not think it worthy of thought whether it is called a hard or q soft a yellow or . green on financial questions is made President. Everybody wants a greenback dollar to be worth a golden dollar. Agitation and experiment are not the most efficient means that can be em- ployed to make it so. The nation is able to take care of itself. When the proper time comes we shall have redemption, simply because we shall have commercial and financial confidence fully re- stored. That is what resumption means. No one cares for hard gold. Paper is more convenient. What everybody does want, how ever, is to know that he can get gold for his dollar when he pleases, and knowing this he does not want the coin at all, With the ! establishment of sound princi- ples of government and economy will come prosperity in the nation. With prosperity will come restor- ed confidence, and with confidence q settlement of what people per sist in calling our financial diff culties."
 We rather like Mir. Woods view of this matter and think that this is a matter which will regulate itself as soon as we get return to an administration where sound principles of government shall prcdominate. This we shall have when the democratic adminsitra ton of 1876 arrives.

Riley pick ed up piece of blast cinder and closed in with Luther, the latter snapping his pistol repeatedly. With the cindcr Riley struck seven blows upon the head of Luther doing serious injury. But for the interference of by islanders Luther would doubtless have been killed. The attack on Riley was premeditated and dc lbcratcly planned.
