BEFORE another issue of The DEM
oeRAT goes to its readers, that all
important occasion commemorated
in conviviality, frolic and feasting
will have passed. If we had old
Santa Claus at command, we would
make him dump a sleigh load OF
Christmas into every home where
The DEMOCRAT goes, and into every
home where it does not go. THE
DEMOCRAT wants INTO the circle when
it comes to the chorus of peace and
good will, and a Merry Christmas
to all.

Mr.. Henry Stueckel will leave to-
morrow for st. Louis and Illinois to

From Mr. 10 Rushing, who was in
town Tuesday, we learn that his father,
Uncle Burrell, after little spell of sick
ness, is up again, which we rejoice to
hear. Uncle Burrell is one of the old
landmarks. He came to Arkansas, and
settled in Pope county in 1898, 60 years
ago, and has been one of Pope's stauneh
citizens ever since. This excellent old
veteran is now past IS years old and it
is but natural that all of us should re-
joice to know that he is full of interest
IN the events of his community and able
to handle his concerns with a grip of a
much younger man. A happy Christ
mas to him and to all his class. May a
kind providence lead them quietly down
the western slope to a peaceful, happy
resting place.

Who died at her home ia Russellville,
Ark, on the 4th day Of December, 1893,
aged rs years, mouths and Is days.
The subject Of this notice was the
daughter Of NJ. A. and Eliza Campbell.
She was born ia Knox county, Tenn, on
the 10th day Of June, 1865. she was
married in 1881 to Mr.W, d. Began, near
Cedar Bluff, Ala Tney lived happily
together II years, having children born
to them, two Of whom died in infancy.
She moved with her husband to RUSSELL
VILE, Ark, in the spring oil 1890, where
she spent the remainder Of her life. She
was sick Is days. Her suffering was
great, but she bore it with much patience
and without murmur. Her heart was
as boundless as the ocean, and her many
noble traits Of character were apparent
to all She was believer in the Chris
tian religion, although she never made
any public profession. Only few days
before her death, she expressed herself
as not being afraid to die. She was a
kind neighbor and model wife. To
know her was to love her, Those who
knew her best loved her most. Many
hearts were saddened to hear Of her
death. Her piety was pure, strong, fer
vent and constant. She will be greatly
and sadly missed by her aged father,
mother and children with other relatives
and friends. But, oh, how much and
how sadly will she be missed by her
sorely afflicted husband, who is so lionel.
and desolate. Be of good sSiiIae.. While
death has snatehoG ssToIn you your dear
eat earthly one, and it pains your heart

better world, where you can live togeth-
er forever, and where death will never
knock at the door of your mansion.
Alas the steps of death are everywhere;
his voice murmuring in every sweep Of
the wind. We all have felt or seen his
power We need faith, that we may look
forward into the approaching day, and
while we gaze, the beams of the morning
spread light and loveliness over the
earth. 1t is not otherwise, as from be-
meath the night of time we peer anxious
" after the pure day of heaven. We all
have loved ones in heaven; we feel sad
because they are lost to us, but while we
weep and wonder, they are wrapped in
garments of hight and MARBLE songs of
celestial joy. We hope to meet them
again, share their pleasures, emulate
their sympathies, and compete with them
in the paths of endless development.
Shadows fall upon them no more, nor
is life rufiied with anxious cares; love
rules their life and thoughts, and eternal
hopes beckon them forever to the pur-
suit of infinite good
Dear wife, I win not grieve for thee,
That now thy burdened soul is free;
HI meet you on the other shore,
Where pain and partings are no more
NY little children stand around,
And hang upon my knee,
And with their little prattling tongues.
They give me some relief.

The Globe-Democrat says: "The
Wilson tariff bill was prepared in
contempt of the idea of uniform JUS
tice." What is it's idea of justice,
if it is not justice to put agricultu-
raj implements on the free list; as
also all raw material, and to lower
the tariff on necessities, and to
change it from a specific to an adya-
loren basis,-from a prohibitiye to
a revenue principle, That man 5
idea of justice never looks beyond
the manufacturer or business to
take into the account the poor con
sumner. The judicial qualities OF
his mind are not worth much.
The Russellville Democrat., 1893-12-21

The idea is rapidly taking hold of
the masses OF the people that it is
unsafe to entrust the interests of
the democratic party to eastern
hands In another campaign. Ever
since the war we have been follow
ing an eastern leadership. We have
never had the courage to select a
leader that would truly represent
our interests. We have always
counted it patriotism to party sue
cess to sacrifice much Of southern
ahd western faith to eastern expedi-
ency, in order for the achievement
of victory at the polls. The idea
prominent in campaigns heretofore
has been victory, victory. " We
had never thought but what with
victory, we could conquer an easy
agreement Of party policy after
wards. But the party has seen
enough Of eastern dogmaticism, and

Ii there were twice as many dol
lars, value aside, as there now is, the
purchasing power of every dollar
would be din iuished one half. If
there were half as many dollars, the
purchasing power of every dollar
would be doubled. If we double the
number of dollars, we double mans
ability to get a dollar When we
double mans ability to get dollar
we double his ability to meet his
obligations. If we diminish the
number of dollars,we diminish
mans ability to get dollars;
hence we diminish the abil-
ity of the man in debt to meet his
obligations. There are two classes
of thought on finances. The first
looks at one side only. They would
at once by the creation of fiat money
attempt an abnormal increase in the
number of dollars with the view
alone of enormously doubling up the
ability of the man in debt regard
less of every other interest. Anoth
er class looks at only one side also,
but from a different point of view
With it, it is a matter Of business
of selfishness. This class is mostly
embraced in the Eastern states, nine
of them in number, but they own
more than one half of the entire
wealth of the United States. This
wealth consists in dollars. The
more dollars there are the less pow
er will their dollars heve The few
er dollars there are the greater pow
er will their dollars have. They want
no dollar, therefore, but the scarce
dollar which is the gold dollar. This
basis increases the burden of getting
dollars, and also increases the adj
yantages of the men who have dol
lars The first plan is by dishonest
legislation to abnormally increase
the ability of a man to get dollars.
The second, or gold standard plan
Is by dishonest legislation to in
crease the power Of men who have
dollars thereby robbing man Of
the ability to get dollars. The rem
edy is simple, the free and unre-

The Wilson tariff bin should be

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
womanhood Following is an instance: Our
daughter. Blanche, now Is years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use OF her right arm. She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. In fact, we feared st. Nitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy
she would have had that terrible dfiiictiOn.
We had employed physicians, but she received
no benefit from them. The first of last August
she weighed but IS pounds, and although she
has taken only three bottles OF Neryine she
now weighs l05 pounds; her nervousness and
symptoms OF StVitus dance are entirely gone,
she attends school regularly. and studies with
comfort and ease She has recovered complete
Use OF her arm, her appetite is splendid, and
no money could procure for our daughter the
health DR.. Miles Neryne has brought her.
When my brother recommended the rem
edy had no faith in patent medicines, and
would not listen to him, but as a last resort
he sent us a bottle, we began giving 1t to
Blanche. and the effect was almost immedi-
ate."-Mrs X. r. Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.
