Silver Is Discredited.

Silver bullion is now wholly dis. carded in the United States. Not an ounce of our product can be turned into money. There is, therfore, no market price of silver, valued as money metal, in this country and consequently no way to determine the commercial value independently of legal proportions and open hints, because both com mercial market price and intrinsic money value are dominated by that demand of the hints created by law.
 It is more logical to say silver is worth 50 cents per ounce, because the law has closed the hints against it, than to say the law closed the hints against silver be- cause it is worth 50 cents per ounce. Utterly untenable is the proposition that we must ascertain n the commercial price of the two metals-independently of the leg ally made money value-and then fix the ratio of law to correspond with the huctuating ratio of com merce.-J. H. Pitman in New York Herald.

THE Ga>ette of the 18th cam e out with a report that the Attor- ney General claimed that tho Su- preme Court decision in the Wood ruff case was wrong; and he even went so far as to stay the mandate. On the following day, however, according to the Go-ette of the 10th, the Attorney General had withdrawn his objections and the mandate will go forward, giving the Ex-State Treasurer new trial.
 The attorney-general, in the last report, is well satisfied, himself, that the court of last resort erred but he had some doubts of getting that body to see it. It seems to us, away down here in the back woods, great pity that the At torney General did not fully pre- sent his law to the Supreme Court at the bearing of the case. That he did not, may be inferred from the following, from the Gasette:
 An issue is about to arise be- tween the Supreme Court and the Attorney-General and it will be interesting to note the progress of the disputation if promised pro- ceedings are gone through with. The bone of contention is the Su- preme Courts decision reversing 2 and remanding the case Of ex- Treasurer Woodruff. Attorney General Trustworthy says that the decision is wrong and he is now debating in his mind the proprie- ty of moving for reconsideration of the case. Pursuant to his pro- bable procedure in that director, he yesterday stayed the issuance ot mandate conveying to the Cir euit Clerk at Perryvile ofiieal in formation of the highest tribunals

I he County to Live in.

There IS no kind Of d66uDt but that Drew County, located in South. Eastern Arkansas, is the best place, at this time, to secure home within the bounds of erea- lion. Here, owing to the vast amount of woodland country, the very hest of land is cheap, So cheap that it may be purchased for song; and-upon easy terms. This land, when put in cuItiva- ton, will grow corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, rice, sugar cane, pota- toes, trnits, of al! kinds, yegeta- bles, cotton, and, in fact, every thing that any other country can, ever has or ever will grow.
 The people here have plenty to eat and are living at home. They are satisfied with theIr country and do not want to leave it, and are therefore not trying to create booms in order to unload. They welcome strangers and if they come will treat them right; but they are not on the wild hunt tor homo-seekers. Hence, as an im- partial chronicler of existing con- ditions, the MoNTIoELLoNIAN sug- gests to immigrants that never again will a better or moro favor able opportunity be offered to them to invest in Il fine and ft ur- lshing country.

LIVED IN FIVE COUNTIES,
Yet He Mover Moved From The
 House He First Built.

Col. McMurtrey, one of Arkan- sas' earliest settlers, and q gentle man we'll known and highly es- teemed throughout the entire state, and who died at his home in Cleveland county last year at an advanced age, held distinction which possibly was never enjoyed by any other living man. He had lived in five counties, but had nev- CT moved from the first house he built in the state. When Col. Me Murtrey settled in Arkansas he erected a residence in Union coun- ty, which then embraced nearly the entire southeast portion of the state. A division and change of the county placed him in Bradley. Another change made him a citi- zen of Lincoln. Later q redis- tricting caused his voting place to be Dorsey, which latterly was changed to Cleveland. Col. Me- Murrey died in the house which he built, and which had been in five counties without a log being removed.
 It is not out of place 10 remark that the editor of The Commercial was in the same command with the gallant McMurtrey and fought the enemy by his side, so to speak, m four states and one territory, viz: Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Indian Territory.

SPACE in the Transportation Building of the Cotton States and International Exp osition has been granted Tor the model of the Nic- aragua canal as exhibited in Paris. The national character of this un dertaklag and its especial import ance to the development and ex- tension of the industries of the South make It an exhibit of un. usual interest to this section. The model is fourteen by forty feet in size and is representation in re- lief of the entire canal from San Juan del Norteen on the Carlo bean Sea to Brito on the Pacific. showing the topograph water courses and lakes. The model will be an operative one, arranged to show the flow of water from Lake Nicaragua, the great central reservoir, to either outlet of the canal.
