SILVER RECONCILIATION.

!Br TkIEGRArH ro NC TRmrNR.l

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WAsHINGTON, Nov. S.-Senator Stanley Mat
thews says that there was authority for the dis
patch sent to "Kienans Wall Street News Agency"
yesterday, reporting him as having said that the
President will sign the Silver Bill He has never
said to any one what the President would or would
not do in reference to the Silver Bill He expressed
opinion, in private conversation, that the bill
would pass and that it would not be vetoed. He did
not profess to speak from any knowledge, and was
not so understood by those to whom he speaking.
The Finance Committee of the Senate at its
meeting this morning talked over in an informal
way the Bland Silver Bill, which has been referred
to it. The views of the several members of the
committee pretty well known. 1t Is doubtful if
majority Of them would vote for the passage of the
bill in It's present form although they might do so.
and there is no doubt that more than half of the
committee are in favor of the passage of
silver bill at the present session. Tn
der these circumstances the Senate will
probably have an opportunity to discuss and vote
upon the bill, either IN its present or an amended
form, very after II is decided TO proceed with
ordinary legislative business.

A Card tO the Public.

For many years we have made two medicines suited to the ailments of a vast class of sufferers. Thous- ands of cures have been made by by them, and, in fact, the word fail ure could not be coupled with them. But within the last two years coun- terfeits of our medicine have sprung np, dangerous in their close imita- ton of our Trade Mark. To secure the people we have placed upon each genuine box of Holloway's Ointment the fac smile of che sig nature of our agent, Mr. Jos. Hay dock. To counterfeit ss felony. We shall relcntlcssly psrsue any one who initiates this with the utmost vig0r of the law. We most earnest ly beg that fi.e great mass of the American people will ali. us in CAT efforts to protect their health, and help us in our task of bringing these most unprincipled men to the bar of justice. Uniformly refuse to .garchase Medicines pnrporting to be ours unless Mir. Jos. Haydock's signature Is attacned to each box of Pills or pot of Ointment and the end will soon be reached.

 DEAR SIR: :-Having just re, turned to Dardanelle, after a trip throuh Logan and Yell Counties, l, at the request of a few represen tative gentlemen with whom l conversed during that trip and whose names 1 give for reference, address you on subject of vital importance to the State of Arkan- sas as well as that of Indiana. address you the more willingly be- cause I am well aware of the deep interest you have heretofore mani fested in the columns of the couri- CT, for the prosperity of these Southern States. That there is an open and an attractive field, in the State of Arkansas, for all who are desirous of bettering their con dition in life Tn agricultural pur- suits is question that cannot be too often brought before the pub
 lie eye. Millions of acres of the most fertile land, in climate ge- nial and balmy even now in De cember-within a few days of Chrlstmas-invite the immediate attention of ofpersons m and around your city who are on the lookout for homes in which they can be prosperous, independent and hap. py. 1 am well aware that Van derburgh County, abounds with such persons. know from per sonal knowledge, that many per sons in your locality whose means ase limited, are unable to pur- chase homeateads for themselves and families where land ranges from $50 to $250, per acre. Now, in contrasting Arkansas with In diana, l would first call attention to the rich virgin soil of this State--a rich sandy loan. Again, the winters are, in this latitude, the most enjoyable part of the

Iyear.A farmer need not be idle any day in winter on account of l bitter cold and biting i'rtist. He neesl not feel anxiety about. feed 1 for his stock, for his beasts scan range around in the midst of plenty the winter through. I know full well the fear which pos sesscs the northern mind, and which Is assiduoasly cultivated lby certlan class in yorr midst, that the people of the south are hostile to the northern ilnmigra- tion. This l pronounce a vile slander. A more pacific, orderly, hospitable, christian people can no where be found. They kindly invite you to come and judge for yourselves. They extend to you the right hand of fellowship and say--come and see us; we will treat you llospi tably; if you do not like us you are free to depart. We want you, however to come and make your home with us and assist us to make Arkansas the foremost State in the union. And to be candid, that IS just the unbiased opinion of the writer of thls sr ticle.
 Arkansas has ths soil and the cli- mate, the water ana the mineral all she requires are the bone and sinew of the immigrant to make it the first, the empire State of the Union.
 We must not neglect in this im- perfect sketch, the grand semi-trop- icai scenery of this delightful State. l do not thiuk it can be surpassed for sublimity anywhere this side of the Alps. If you ascend the steeps of Magazine Mountain you will be convinced of this truth.
 l have formerly stated that the government lands will be soon thrown on the market at congress price, $l25 per acre. But choice tracts of rich land may be had at private purchase at very cheap rates and in conclusion 1 shall give you the names and address of some of the substantial men of A-kansas, who will be glad and happy to re- eeivc communications from any one desirous of information about. their respective localities.

 To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Your paper goes to it's subscrl bers this week full ofnews. It il welcome visitor at my house and should be read by every vote in Pope county.
 l It is the duty of every man tt subscribe for his county paper and some other good paper pub lished at the capital of the State or elsewhere.
 If our farmers would read more and think for themselves, we would have a much better com. munity. Instead of them going to town for the purpose of asking the town people the news, they would be posted upon all matters pertaining to their business.
 How long will my brother far mer live in darkness and not try to inform himself?
 He should read and post him. self on all political matters, so he can vote intelligently, and discuss the political issues with some de gree of eloquence, and not let others think for him.
 If he does let others think and plan for him, those that think and plan will get the dollars and the farmer get nothing.
 I have this proposition to make to my brothers, the tillers of the soil. Let us, q mean every far mer in Pope county) subscribe for Five Dollars worth of good newspapers, and read them care. fully for two years, and see what the result will be. l am certain that every one will say that it is the best investment that he has made in his life; and that he would not take 6fty dollars for the information gained.
 And there is still another gain by having good readable matter at hand, it will improve your chil- dren, for they will read a news paper as soon as they learn to read
 How many farmers in Pope will join in the above proposition?

LOUISVILLE, Ark. Jan. 8.

To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Sir: Perhaps it would be of in terest to some of your readers to know that there is such place as Piney Station an the l.. R. & Ft. $. Ky. This place is beauti- fully situated at the mouth of Pi ney, on the bank of the Arkansas river; is prosperous little vii lage of about one hundred inhab- litants; here is situated one of the finest saw mills, planer, &c., in the west part of Ark. There is also a very good church and mason ic hall here. We have been en- toying the Christmas holidays hugely. The masonic fraternity had a public installation of off cers on the 27th ult., and a Christmas tree at night, and al. though the weather was extreme ly unpleasant, everybody turned out-men. women and children, | (and no doubt you are aware of the fact that Clark township is no ted for it's pretty women and | large number of fat babies), well, they all came, and at two o'clock the officers were installed by Hon. A. s. McKennon, of Clarksville, after which he delivered a very able address op masonry. He showed himself to be a man of much reading and deep thought and my opinion is that he is one of the coming men of western Ark; Johnson County has reason to be proud of her Representa- tive.
 Well, at night the Christmas tree was illuminated, and the hall was crowded to overtlowing about two hundred persons were present, and over one hundred presents were destributed.
 Everything passed of quietly not a drunken man was seen du ing the day or night, which speaks we'll of the hitherto doubtful nor als of Piney. Yours,
 SOLOMON SowzER.
