on this point, and he expresses the senti-

but, low tariff on salt, copper, iron, wool,
cotton, leather, glass, &c. / Will tell you

The Cherokee Reservation

TO BE THROWN OPEN TO SETTLEMENT. Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., January, l. The Senate Committee on Public Lands to day submitted favorable report on the bill introduced by Sen ator Garland last session relative to the sale of the Cherokee Reserva- tion in Arkansas. The bill provides that the lands known as the old Cherokee Reservation, in townships ' and north, range 2l west, of the fifth principal meridian, shall be placed under the control of the Gen eral Land Office to be sold and dis posed of in the same manner and under the same regulations as other public lands of the United States Such homestead and pre- emption entries as have been made under in- structions from the General Land Office upon the odd numbers of the reservation as appear to be in all respects fair and regular, except to time of sale, are confirmed, and pat. cnts shall be issued, as in other cases. All actual settlers upon ad- joining land, who are duly
 QUALIFIED TO MAKE ENTRIES,
 and who settled upon or improved either odd or evcn-numbered sec tions of the reservation at any time prior to the date of this act, and are now residing on or cultivating the same, or cultivating and residing on adjoining land, shall be entitled to preference right of entry, not to ex- ceed l60 acres, including the tract on which they reside, and Presiding on adjoining land, with credit for ac- tual settlement and residence or cul- tivation heretofore made in compu5- ing the time necessary to perfect title; but in no case shall actual set, tiers on adjoining lands he permitted to abandon any part of their claims, when such se' ements have been made, to secure larger or increased amount of the reservation. All such parties are required to file their dc claiatory statements within three months from the date of receipt by the local land officers of instructions fire ' the Commissioner of the Gen eral Land Office.
The Russellville Democrat., 1883-01-18

THE Arkansas press, just at this time is very profuse and elaborate in it's advice to the legislature. The press certainly thinks the members of the legislature, the law makers of the state, who ought to be men of wisdom and discretion, are capable of receiving great deal of this cheap article we call advice, or that they stand in need of a vast amount of said article. The questions of the greatest importance, such as ap- pertain to the development of the re- sources of the country, and the reg ulation of taxation, and the eleva- tion of the agricultural standard, ought to be so thoroughly canvassed, and set before the people in sucn ex- plicit terms, that when the legisla
 ture meets, the wants of the country will be obvious,- and will not admit of cavil. This advice that is so free, ly and gratultuosly given the mem bers of our legislature, and that is enough to confuse and abfuscatc the whole concern, would not be nee essary, and the space 1t occupies could be protitably devoted to some thing else. We know legislator who has cast one vote during this session, and that was directly against the wishes of his local con stituency, and directly in opposition to the welfare of the country. It is travesty on true legislation.
The Russellville Democrat., 1883-01-18

TIE unceasing cry, and unabat- ing complaint, and never ending quibble about high taxation, and the impoverishment ofthe southern states by the existing mortgage system, is misnamed doctrine. All the cot ton and tobacco growing states have been grappling with this monstrous mortgage system, rnremittingly, even since the late National mis- understanding, and yet great num- Der of the common farmers is bound, hand and foot, by his chain today. Do not mortgage your crops, your stock, your homes nor anything else you possess. Better live on short rashions, and if you only have $2 use one and save one. No one has any idea of what joyous, exhilarat- ing realization it is to lowe no man" till he sips. The cash system will relieve our country when all other systems fail.
The Russellville Democrat., 1883-01-18
----------------- - OUR NINTH VOLUME.

With this issue we begin the 9th volume of the DEMOCRAT. The fact that the paper still exists, comes out on It's regular time, furnishes the people with all the local news, and the freshest general news, has full and first class corpse of printers, and a new editor-aIl these are prima facie evidence, that the DEMOCRAT has succeeded to respectable de- gree at least. For all past patronage and other fayors we return our pro- foundest thanks, and humbly, yet earnestly, solicit continuation of the same, promising, by the grace of God, and the cooperation of our fel- low citizens, to use every effort to merit the patronage we ask. The paper is an established institution among us, and it's highest aims are to propagate the principles of justice and morality, believing them to be the germs of civilization. Truth is our battle-ax; to do. good is our stimulent.
