Van Buren, Letter.

In Sundays Gazette Van Buren, is
given one of the best write ups that
ever came from the pen of Col NJ. L.
DeMahler. The colonel fairly outdid
himself and yet never went outside OF
the boundary of actual facts. There is
encompased within this write up much
valuable information for the home
seeker and which undoubtedly will bear
fruit before long in increased
immigration. Unable to republish the
letter we give the following editorial
comment of the Gazette upon it:
Our readers who have kept track OF develop
ments in western Arkansas will be Interested in
letter of today from Van Buren.
Though exposed to the ravages of the drOuth,
the severest known in the history of the state
facts in the case show that the success with
mixed farming fruit and truck along with
cotton, removes the industry from the category
OF mere trial 10 that of u liked industry in this
state.
1t has not been an adventure only for the sake
of experiment Involved in the undertaking
was the proposition of a cash trade and Iii yersi-
fed farming MS opposed to credit trade and the
exclusive growth OF cotton as a money source
for farmer and merchant. And for tina reason
their success will be an eneourageme to other
parts of the state where the Inauguration OF
mixed farming was this year interrupted by an
adverse season.
Our western Arkansas friends and especially
those in the Van Buren, district. deserve con-
CALCULATIONS. 1t has required no little courage
and enterprise to accomplish so great changes,
and to have done SO without violence either to
their commerce or agriculture proves that they
are made of the stuff to realize the splendid
opportunity OF their town and county.

CONFEDERATION at Chester.

Chester was visited by a disastrous
fire the early part of Wednesday night
destroying the depot and five store
buildings. Telegraphic communication
was interrupted by the destruction of
the telegraph office, which was located
in the depot. The fire started in the
depot, but the origin is unknown. The
depot was the largest one on the division
outside of Fort Smith 1t will I'M
doubtedly be replaced by a much
smaller one, as after the removal of the
round house from that point, which
will take place in the near future, the
business will not require so large a
building.
OF the other buildings two belonged
to Mr.. Yoes, one of them being occupied
by SINCE saloon the other vacant /;
two belonging to Mr.. Sims, one of them
being occupied by lunch stand and one
belonging to Mr.. Galloway The hotel
building owned by Mr.. Yoes was also
damaged to the extent of 800 We
were unable TO learn if there was any
insurance, but it seemed to be the i'm
preston of our informant that there
was none.
The lunch stand man is reported to
have lost everything, but from Since g
saloon everything was saved, except the
refrigerator.
This is quite blow to our little
mountain neighbor. The loss outside
of the depot building and contents will
be in the neighborhood of $1,000

Rogers Did Not Bolt.
Special to The Republic.

Special to The Republic.
WASHINGTON, Dec. There seems
to be misapprehension regarding the
political attitude of Congressman
John H. Rogers, of Arkansas, recently
appointed by the president to be district
judge for the western district of
Arkansas. The common report is, and
has been, since Mr.. Rogers appoint
ment, that he bolted the Chicago
ticket. This is a mistake. Mr. Rogers
was not in entire accord with the
Chicago platform. He is bimetallist,
but was opposed to the party committing
itself to the ratio of 16 to 1 but presided
over the ratification meeting at Fort
Smith that indOrsed the nomination of
Bryan and Sewall soon after the
Chicago convention, and voted for
Bryan and Sewall on election day.
Mr.. Rogers, The Republic CORE
spondent is informed, told the president
very plainly where he stood before Mr.
Cleveland appointed him.
Under these circumstances, it is
regarded as reasonably certain that
the Arkansas senators will do every
thing they can to bring about Mr..
Rogers confirmation.
The Van Buren press., 1896-12-12

Six weeks ago such expressions as
these were denounced by the Repub-
licans and boiling Democrats as the
sentiment of anarchy. They do not
come with very good grace from those
who have made 1t impossible to correct
any of the evils mentioned during the
next four years The Western Repub-
liean, from whom we have quoted.
General Wilson and Secretary Francis
could speak as they do with much
better grace and sincerity il they had
not acted in the recent election with the
party that denied the existence of such
evils as they now refer to. They helped
to defeat the party that proclaimed
these evils and proposed remedies for
them and the talk they are now in
dulging in entities them 10 no credit.
unless it be evidence of their repentance.
But these evils do exist aud they can
not always be ignored. The Western
Republican is right. If the Republican
party does not find remedy for them
some other party will step to the front
in 1900. And the Republican party
will not only not find remedies for them.
but will intensity them. Another party
will go to the front in 1900.
The Van Buren press., 1896-12-12

From the Batesville Guard.
The rejoicing over Mckinley s cleo
ton has begun somewhat to subside
within the reasonable bounds, and out
of the ranks of the shouters there comes
occasionally voice TO remind the
victorious Republicans that their
triumph at the polls has brought them
responsibilities of the most serious kind
and that their failure 10 meet them
successfully will cost them an over
whelming defeat four years hence. a
Western Republican stops the hiarity
long enough TO remark that IF the
Republican party does not find some
remedy for the evils of the situation.
some other party viii step TO the front
in 1900. And, more surprising still
the goldbugs who bolted the Democratic
party are beginning 10 intimate that
things are not altogether Just as they
should be. At a recent banquet in New
York Postmaster General Wilson had
the courage TO tell the rich men setting
about him that:
The honest belief OF a large section Of the

The Presidents Message.

From the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
President Cleveland s message Ia a
lengthy document, covering all the
departments of government, giving
facts and recommendations Concern
| ing foreign relations prominence is
given TO the Armenian outrages and the
Cuban instruction.
The reference TO Armenian affairs
shows strong discomfort with the failure
of the Turkish government to put a
stop 10 the outrages and massacres
which are a scandal to civilization
The efforts of the government and the
minister to Turkey have been put forth
vigilantly for the protection of American
interests, and vessels have been sent to
Turkish waters to afford relief if
necessary. Still it has been deemed
wise to leave to European governments
their self imposed task of forcing the
Porte to establish liberation, enforce
protection to Christians and stop the
massacres.
Regarding Cuba, the message is not
sensational, yet it contains a distinct
intimation to Spain that the present
state of affairs in Cuba must end.
Much is said about the importance of
pJftNfihI ItIdtloHS WIN
Spain, and it is plainly said that Cuban
insurgents have not earned recognition
of independence, or even of belligerent
rights, for the reason that they have
not established civil government ON the
island. The president says the United
States government has offered its
services to Spain in the matter of
guaranteeing to Cuba such reforms as
Spain may promise if the Cubans lay
down their arms. To this no answer
has been received, but he seems to
expect favorable action. In closing
this part of the message the president
says that the time will come, if Spain
does not end the struggle, when
stronger steps will have to be taken by
the United States in the interests of
civilization.
The settlement of the Venezuelan
question is pleasantly referred to.
immigration has increased during the
year and the character and condition Of
immigrants have been satisfactory.
Extension of the Federal prison
system is recommended.
The president uses strong terms in
condemnation of the abuses in the
matter of second class mail
The increase in the pension roll claims
attention. and pertinent recommend
ations are made.
Pacific railroads and their nearly due
obligations, which must be paid by the
government, cali for strong statements
by the president concerning the
necessity for legislation on the subject.
Mr. Cleveland remarks on civil
SaT-vira hava distinct haaripn on
removals for pernicious activity in
politics.
The tariff law is discussed in con
nection with the revenue question and
the president thinks it has worked fairly
well
The president recommends the retire
ment of that class of governmental
issues - including greenbacks-which
can under the law be used for depicting
the gold in the treasury.
