Sonie of our cotemporane announce
that the big gathering at Bennington,
Vt., on the IGth ult. was to celebrate
the centennial of Vermont's admis

The body of an unknown man was
recently found near Cedar Island in
the Platte river, between Concord and
Plattsmouth. The body was eo decom

the body of the young man who was
drowned opposite Brownville about
bIx weeks ago. West Point Republi

old man drowned opposite this Brown
ville within the past year, but if there
' was it would be curious how his body
could get a hundred miles above this

and we are sorry it is given to fault

who said anything about inappropri

that innocent little line is it that "he

all the difference in the world as to

The Financial FroMeiu.
Repeal the Resumption Act ami re
monetizo silver, is all there is to the
financial problem at this time. It is
useless to go into an extended discus
sion of the questions involved, for
everything that can be fcaid, pro or
con, has been paid a long time ago,
and nothing that the people are not
perftctly familiar with can possibly
be uttered upon the topic. It is for
tills reason that we do not go into a
fuller discussion of the problem in
these columns. The people have, we
believe, been educated up to the de
termination to demand the repeal of
the Resumption Act and the lemone
tizalion of silver. In our judgment
tills will be a solution of our financial
difficulties, and all that will be re
quired. What we need as much as
e need a larger circulating mpdium,
is the return of confidence. Capital
te shy, because it is uncertain of the
future. It feels that resumption in
1S79 will be bankruptcy and ruin, and
it very judiciously proposes to keep
out of the General wreck. "We have
about $700,000,000 that should be in
circulation, but for want of confidence
is not. It is notenough to do the bus
iness of tills country with it is
scarcely half enough, but it would
make a wonderful difference if it were
in circulation. The repeal of the Re
sumption act will draw this money
from the vaults and place it in active
business. Business will bring us go'd.
and we shall thus be placed In posi
tion to get our share of that coin, and
will be better prepared in three years
to resume than we shall ho in twenty
under any compulsory system of re
sumption. Then remonelizp silver and make
its coinase free. This will give us
what additional money the necessities
of commerce demand, ar.d resumption
will he made still easier. Western
Rural,
We endorse the above and believe
the opinions it embraces to be those
of three-fourths of the people of the
West. If Congress would repeal the
Resumption act, remonetize silver
and then let the money question
alone, it would carry out the wishes
of a great majority of the people of
the United States. The people will
yet have to take this money question
in hand, and by tneir votes enforce
their wishes. In all brobability the
question will not bo settled until they
do this until they make it an issue at
the polls. There is no question at
this time that is half so important to
all classes, and especially the farmer,
the mechanic and the common labor
er, as that of finance-, and it is strange
that ere this there has not been a
strong combined effort of all parties to
settle the question on a financial the
ory in accordance with the minds of
the people. Candidates have hither
to been nominated and platforms
made without regard to what they
thought on the great money question,
or what theory they would be likely
to help carr3' out. If the candidates
and the platform are right on the
Southern policy and a few other
things, that are not of a farthing's
difference which way it goes, to the
mechanic who has wares or the farm
er who has produce to sell, or to the
workingman whose wages have to be
cut down to suit the hard times,
it has been all sufficient, while
the subject upon which depends
the very existence of these classes
and the perpetuation of their trades,
is ignored, or if mentioned at all in
the speeches of candidates or the plat
forms upon which the3' stand, it is re
ferred to only to dodge the subject
and mystify the voter. If the ques
tion of finance is an important one
is the question why not say eo in and
by conventions and promulgate an
unequivocal declaration. If the peo
ple want any lino of policy carried
out they must take hold of the matter
with candor and firmness themselves
instead of leaving candidates to be se
lected and political platforms made
by artful politicians, having no object
iu view but to set traps to catch votes,
and no interests to serve but their
own Belfish ones. When those
deepest interested in reform aud good
government shall do this, then shall
their grievances be redressed, their
wrongs righted, and their interests
subserved.
The board of Regents on the IGth
inst. reconsidered their order made
some weeks ago which declared the
University building unsafe for occu
pation. By later evidence through
eminent architects aud builders, who
have thoroughly examined the build
ing, the Regents have very properly,
we think, concluded that it may be
rendered perfectly safe by putting a
new foundation under it, of strong
material, in place of the soft stone of
which the foundation is now made.
The citizens of Lincoln agree to bear
the expense. The Regents could not
reasonably have done other than what
they have. The3 have been drily cau"
tious ; the evidence upon which they
have based their proceedings has been
the best possible for them to obtain,
and should the building after all fall
down and kill and maim a score or
two of students, the Regents will
stand exonorated from all blame.
The cattle thieves of Mexico cross
ed the Rio Grande into Texas Jast
week and stole 150 head of cattle, and
got back home with them. The Mex

copo with its outlaws than is the
United States to enforce law and a re
publican form of government inLou
isiana and South Carolina, and of
course, as a government, she is excus
ed for not doing what her more stur
dy sister republic cannot do. Like
the latter, she would if the could.

The (.,?!. & P. Railroad.
The City council, at its melting on
Wednesday evening, decided to issue
the remaining $250,000 of city bonds,
on certain conditions, in payment of
the subscription of the city to the cap
ital stock of the Quiiicy, Missouri &
Pacific Railroad Compaii3r, the vote on
the proposition being ten in fuvor, and
one against the issue. During the
time the question was pending in the
Council we have not seen fit to discuss
it, deeming it a matter for the Ma3'or
and Alderman to determine, and no
ticing, as we did, that the city's repre
sentatives were carefully arid deliber
ate' investigating it, and were by no
means inclined toformnny hast3T judg
ment in the premises or neglect the in
terests of the city in connection with
the subject. The city authorities hav
ing arrived at the conclusion that the
company is entitled to payment on
the subscription, we maj now assume
that the matter is disposed of to that
extent, and that an immediate effort
will be made to extend the road, as
has been provided for in the terms un
der which the city bonds are to be
transferred.
The extension of this line of road is a
ver3 important matter toQuincy.and
its completion to the western boundary
of Missouri will be an event of far
more consequence to the commercial
interests of the city than any other in
our history. Looking at the location
of the road, and the character of tho
countr3j it is to traverse, we find the
building of the line is entirely justi
fied. The section of fertile country
through which it is projected needs a
railroad, and will amply support one
by contributing a large and profitable
traffic. Considering the fact that this
enterprise is controlled by Quincy
parties ; that there are liberal munici
pal subscriptions along the entire lino
and that large personal aid cau also be
obtained ; that the people of tho re
gion through which the road is to run
are very anxious for its construction
and will assist in ev6r3 way possible,
and that this is a very favorable time
for building railroads, owing to the
unusual cheapness of all that enters
into their cost it must be admitted
the prospect is an encouraging one to
all interested. We can see no reason,
if the managers take hold with an ear
nest determination to push the work
forward, why, with the present and
prospective resources of the compnny
the road cannot be completed within
a reasonable time, all debts be satis
factorily settled, aud a valuable line
obtained which will be a profitable in
vestment to all stockholders. This
road cau be finished and have a com
parative' small bonded debt. Its
stock ought to be good in time and
canbemadeso.wethink; and ifQuin
oy's $500,000 can be thus saved, It
would certainly be to her an agreeable
as it would be a novel, experience.
The establishment of the main shops
of the line at Quincy, where they will
naturally be located and the expected
cheapening of fuel by the opening of
new coal fields would be also great
benefits to the city. We hope to see
this great enterprise, which has been
carried along and kept up by many of
our best oUizens under so many diffi
culties, and through years of trial and
trouble, yet prove to be a prosperous
one to all concerned, and we believe it
can be made so if ail co-operate in that
direction. Quincy Herald.
THE EASTERN WAR.
The Turks Driving the Russians
From the Passes.
A cable dispatch of the 15th to the
Inter-Ocean says :
Tho Herald correspondent at Kas
anlik telegraphs under dale'of yester
duy, as follows: On Sunday night
Suleiman Pasha encamped with a
force of iufautr3' and cavalry near the
pass of Haron Boguez, with the in
tention of attacking the Russians next
da3'. On the following morning one
brigade of infantry, two squadrons of
cavalry, oue batter of artillery, and a
detachment composed of Bashi-ba-zouks
and Circassians advanced to at
tack THE VILLAGE OF KALOFER.
The left of the attacking force
marched through Kulova. The bri
gade of infantry moved in three col
umns toward the Russian position,
which was protected b3' earthworks.
The Turks debouched, upon the front
of the village, the right advancing
through Bojuk in the face of a terrible
artillery fire from the Russian posi
tion, the Russian infantry beiug well
intrenched. The Turks took advantage
of every cover theground afforded and
advanced in skirmishing order. They
gained ground steadily, the left and
center pushing forward in the face of
the Russian artillery fire-,-and
SULEIMAN HIMSELF OPERATING
on the extreme right. Suddenlv.
at
a given signal, the Turks rushed into
Kalofer, and after a desj erate liaud-to
hand struggle with the bayonet, suc
ceeded in driving out the Russians,
pushing them in the direction of Ro
salia pass. Here another stand was
made, but after a sharp fight the Rus
sians were driven through the piss,
which wa3 immediately occupied by
Suleiman Pasha. The engagement
lasted two hours.
Simultaneously with the capture of
the pass of Rosalia by Suleiman, the
HARON 110GUEZ PASS WAS CARRIED
by Shaki Pasha. During the retreat
at Kalofer the hea'3T fire of the Turks
exploded a powder magazine, killing
inaii3' Russiaue. The total Rusian
loss is said to be 500 killed aud 1,000
wounded, the greater number being
due to the explosion, which to a great
exteut demoralized the Russians
Bismarck.
Dispatches from-Batoutn-describe
the great exodus of Circassians from
tiie Caucasus as the consequence of
the withdrawal of the Turkish expe
diiion. Fift3' thousand people and
150.000 cattle are awaiting embarka
tion at Sukum-Kaleh. ITobart Pa
sha has improved the jetty by moor
ing small vessels lengthwise, and the
people and cattle were walking aboard
the vessels. A frigate and transport
had arrived at Batoum with 1,000 and
900 emigrants respectively. None
were permitted to land at Batoum, on
account of the lack of accommoda
tions and provisions. All go to Tre bi
zond. RUSSIAN CRUELTY.
The Russians have succeeded in
stopping the exodus from the Tcham
tchira district, and drove the peoplo
back with great cruelt3'. It is report
ed that all men who participated in
the insurrection are tent to Siberia,
and their women aud children given
to the Cossacks.
A Constantinople dispalch says:
By the last military operation south
of the Balkans a Josd 01 12,000 killed
and wounded was inflicted on the
Russians, who have been driven from
all localities soutli of tho mountains.
Law and order has been restored.
A Constantinople special sa3's an al
liance is reported between Roumania
and Servia. It is expected that the
Roumanians will almost immediate!
enter Servia and be joined b3r the
Servians, who are constructing strong
works upon the Timok and Alex-
auitz.

who commanded a force, of .dragoons

the loss of 800 men.
Suleiman Pasha's vanguard has
pressed forward as far as Fordinskinj.
on tho road to Elena. It seems as if
the Russians wish to abandon the
pass,
It i rumored that General Ignatieff
has fallen into disgrace thatlhe pass

Among The Fruit Trccj.
An hour in ex-Governor tFurnas'
orchard, writes a citizen ofOmaha
who visited Brownville last week con
vinced me of several things! among
which was that the theory that Ne
braska is not a good fruit couatry,"is
ull bosh ;" for nowhere hav I eeen
greater evidences of tho adaptability
of both soil aud climate to all&inds of
fruit than on this "plantatio'of 220
acres situated one mile southwest of
Brownville. i
Nine 3'ears ago the ground was wild
prairie ; and it was at that recint date
that the-beginning was made?y"Gov
ernor Furnas's own hands covering
sixty acres of ground and ceqpnsing
a good variety of fruits. We Enum
erate, among others, 9,000 peajh trees,
1,100 cherry trees (mostly earii' Rich
mond), 2,500 apple, 1,000 pea (Bart
iett and Seckles), 150 plum, 3d) chest
nut, seven 3'ears old (which his borne
two crops), and 5,000 grape! vines.
Among this 3'ear's productionlt is es
timated that there will be teutons of
grapes, 50 bushels German prilies, 20
bushels of plums. No estimate la
made for apples and peaches, though
the latter crop will be small, jj
There is also a large variety orna
mental trees, comprising laoh, Ne
braska cedar, Austrian piuej and a
Japan tree similar to the "Spread Ea

evidence of a growth of over uhe foot

afford living evidence in refut
the popularfaliacy that earlies

It is the opinion of the write) how
