Are not more widely distinct than
the standard tonic, stimulant and al
terative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and the cheap and fiery local bitters
which unscrupulous vendors foist up
on the unwary as medicated prepara-
tions with remedial properties. The
latter are usually composed in the
main of half rectifed alcoholic excl
tants, with some wretched drug COM
bined to disguise their real flavor and
are perfectly runious to the coats Of
the stomach. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, ON the contrary, has for its
basis choice spirits of absolute purity,
and this is modified and combined
with medicinal extracts of rare excel
ence and botanic origin, which both
invigorate and regulate the bowels,

to select delegates to attend the great
reunion at Birmingham, Ala, on the

Let every camp be represented by
as large a delegation as possible.
When a camp cannot attend, send a
duly authorized proxy by one of its
members or by a member of some
other camp properly signed. See
that correct roll of all your members
in good standing with your annual fee
of ten cents for each member, is sent

In view of the Uniform kindness
heretofore extended to the United

burg, and the Texas & Pacific, Iron
Mountain and Kansas City, Memphis
& Birmingham, via Texarkana and
Memphis. The rates from all points
on these roads will be one cent per
mile each way, based on shert line

GLORIOUS NEWS.
The Outlook for Arkansas Farmers
Grows Brighter Each Day.

For more than a month past the
farming element of Arkansas has been
depressed by the long continued rains
and seemingly gloomy prospects for
anything like a good yield of agricul-
tural products during the present
year. But the last of these gloomy
shadows disappear before the bright
light of statistical truth and the feeling
of general depression, which, only
few weeks since, prevailed over large
portion of the state, is now succeeded
by renewed hope and restored conf
dence. That this desirable change has
not been hastily or unadyisedly effect
ed may readily be seen from the fol-
lowing excellent report from the chief
of the Weather and Agricultural Bu-
reau of Arkansas
The temperature during the week
has averaged nearly 2 degrees below
the normal, but the sunshine has been
much above the average and consider
ing the very wet condition of the soil
the temperature has been favorable in
every respect. This is particularly
true of the last few days of the week.
There has been no precipitation ex-
cept light local shower on the 10th
and at Texarkana on the 18TH This
almost total absence of rainfall has
been very beneficial, as it has given
the farmers ample time to cultivate
and clean the crops which generally
were very grassy. All crops have inn
proved and more hopeful spirit pre-
walls.

Perfect farming weather during the
past week and farmers are much more
hopeful. The plows have been busy
killing grass and all crops are much
improved by the weeks dry weather
and sunshine. The nights were rather
too cool during the early part of the
week, but the latter part was favora-
BILE in every respect. Corn and cotton
have begun to grow rapidly, and the
former is gaining in natural color;
oats, clover, Irish potatoes, grasses and
fruit are generally good; oats are
ripening and promise good yield; mill
let is being sown in some sections.

10. This bill was introduce
ed for the purpose Ct repeal
ing the purchasing clause 81
the Sherman law. providing
for the monthly purchase OF
4. 500. 600 ounces Of silver bull
lion. 1t does not, in any way,
affect the established ratio Of
silver with gold, but if it be-
comes a law the purchasing
of silver bullion by the gov
eminent will cease. We do
not concur with those who
believe that the public well
fare demands the cessation
of the coinage of silver,
nor do we believe that the
interest of the public would
be best subserved by the
adoption of such a policy.
1t is conceded that the pres
ent amount of silver in the
United States can be kept on
a parity with gold and if true,
there would be no danger OF
the governments inability to
keep the two metals on a par
ity with each other, if a law
were passed providing for the
equal free coinage, as to dol.
lars, Of both metals. By this
means the volume of the cur
rency would be twice as great
as when only one metal is
coined. The Democratic par.
ty has declared in favor Of
free silver, and its declaration
that both metals shall circu-
late on a parity is equally ex'
plicit. The usage of both
metals as money is a necessi.
ty, consequently no law
should be passed that would
drive either out of circulation,
but at the same time it is nee.
essary 10 continue the coinage
| of both.

THERE is reason to believe
that Notwithstanding the Ia
Dor and expense put forth by
England i. India and the at
tempts made by Russia,
Egypt and China to success
fully compete with the south
ern states in the raising of
cotton, that all are doomed
to disappointment. At the
Chicago Exposition there is
a great cotton exhibit, con-
corning which the New Or
leans Times-Democrat says:
The fear has existed in some
minds recently that Indian or Egyp-
tan cotton might eventually compete
so closely with American cotton as to
keep the price steadily depressed
The statement has been occasionally
made IN recent years that the Egyp,
tian aud Indian methods of cu tnre or
preparation for market hal been or
were about 10 be so far perfected that
their col ton product WIS or would
be iulIy equal in quality to the Amer
can, aud IL natural y caused some APP
prehensinn. But the fears, II seems,
NAV be aliayed. Mr.. Shepperson,
who has charge of the cotton EXHIBIT
at the Chicago Exposition. has been
studying the specimens of cotton sent
from those countries, aud his opinion
of their value is by no means alarm
ing TO the Southern cotton grower.
The samples, he saws, are trashy. with
stems and other refuse mixed with
the cotton, and the preparation Is
otherwise crude aud careless. In In
dia the cotton Is g'nned ON small
hand machines, slow aud clumsy,
and there is 10 inclination to- adopt
improved machinery run by steam
power, as IN Amer.cs. Mr. SheD
person thinks, therefore, that nur
cotton il not likely to- meet with much
real competition from The in'e,Ior
grades of cotton produced ia India.
and he is astOuished that spinuers buy
the latter at any price while Amer
lean cotton eau be hat ~ cheap as a.
present. In fact, during the lowes

NOTWITHSTANDING the Ill

NOTWITHSTANDING the I'M
equivocal declaration of the
Democratic platform in favor
of State banks, there are
those who claiming to be
Democrats, boldly assert their
opposition to the carrying
out of that plank of the plat
form. There is no insur-
mountable obstacle that will
prevent the establishment of
such banks, nor the enact
ment of laws that would in
sure that system of banking
to be as sound as any other.
They could be operated upon
the same principle as that of
National banks. When we
take into consideration that
our interstate commerce is
greater than Germany, France
and Austria, the necessity of
such a system of banking can
be realized. With State banks
we. would be, to a great ex-
tent, independent of Nation
al banks, and would not then
be affected to the same extent
that we are now by the de-
traction of their circulation.
There is no law compelling
National banks to take out
all the currency to which they
are entitled to under their
capital. 1t is entirely discre-
tionary with them as TO what
amount of notes they choose
to circulate. The aggregate
amount of the circulation of
the National banks in this
country is about 5000, OO0,-
600, about one third of the
amount they are entitled to
under their capital. In 1882
the circulation amounted to
1862, 100000, almost double
that at present. The curtail-
ment of the power of Nation
al banks is indeed a necessi-
ty, and the establishment of.
State banks would have that
effect.
