New York and New Jersey are the
only two States that show a solid
front against the silver bill. These
States are the homes of two promi
nent Democratic Presidential candi
dates Tilden and McLellan and
they can explain to the Democracy of
the West at their earliest convenience
Senator Bluine gives notice that he
will ofier a bill, as a substitute to the
Eland silver bill, to pay the interest
on the national debt, half in gold and
half iu silver. This will not suit the
silverites. Senator Jones Indicated
the correct principle when he said,
"If silver money is fit to be a legal
tender it should be unlimited in char
acter." The Postmaster General instructs
Iho Postmaster of New York city that
trade dollars are not a legal tender,
and therefore he need not take them
for postage. We have been under the
impression that trade dollars were
legal tenders on sums of five dollars
and less. The law, however, or its
Interpreters, excepts postage stamps
so it appears.

The New Orleans Times informs
President Hayes that interference iu
beuair of tne Keturulns: lioard is a
moral and physical impossibility, and
adds: "The situation may be disa

this time, and he can do nothing but
Jet the law of the State take its course,
whatever may be the consequences to
the men who placed him in oflice."
D. H. Hill, of the Confederate ar

Being "of the confederate army" is
proof of his piet3' and ample qualifi

their rebel ancestors in paths of trea

200 .youngsters telling them how
many forts their fathers stole, how
muoh property, and the millions they
purloined from the treasury, etc. No
doubt Hill is a splendid Democratic
Sunday School teacher.
A thief was recently caught in a
very singular manner in Dubuque.
His name was Webber and ho had
formerly been an employe in the
hardware store of Westphal Huids fc
Co. After entering the store iu at
tempting to get through the trap-door
of the upper floor the door caught him j
by the neck, while the ladder on
which he stood slipped from under5
his feet. Some men coming to work
in a cooper-shop near by shortly after
midnight heard hfs groans and went
to his relief. He was nearly dead
when rescued, and is partly paralyzed
now. A few more moments would
have suffocated him. A barrel of
scrap iron stood on the door through
which he tried to enter. He had been
in the warehouse a few nights before
and robbed the money-drawer.

m
A Nigger in the State Grange Wood
pile. On the 3lst ult. the State Journal
contained the following:
A farmer who knows the State grange
of Nebraska to the tune of several dol
lars, desires to know whether the cor
poration is responsible or not. We
oaunotanswer the question knowing
ly, for we haven't commenced 6uit
against it yet. But we do know of
several unpaid bills against the
grange, which have been running for
years, and still remain uncollected.
From this we should say the organi
zation was rotten from Mem to stern.
If our rural friend is a member of the
grange he hod better call for u com
mittee on investigation. There is "a
nigcer iu the woodpile," and perhaps
our horny handed grangers can poke
him out. In the meantime, the Jour
nnl will appoint Itself a representative
of the grangers, and if it can dljr out a
few items of fraud and "sich" will
gladly lay it before its readers.
And on the 1st hist, the Journal
had the following.
another farmer of an inquisitive
turn of mind desires to know wheth
er the bills against the State grange
which we referred to yesterday were
made before or since the administtra
lion of Porter, Painter and Mc .
We answer, since. The bills against
the rotten concern are large and nu
merous, and in all hum in probability
will never be paid. The secretary of
the concern informs us that he bus a
claim against it of $300. which he can
not collect. We forgot to ask him
whether it was for money loaned or
for services rendered. At all events
it looks as though there was some
thing very rotten in Denmark, when
the secretary cannot collect what he
ilaims. Perhaps Hon. Church Howe
can enlighten the grangers of Nebras
ka on this very important subject. In
the meantime who shall continue to
poke for that nigger in the woodpile.
When that "nigger" is energetically
poked out of the woodpile, it will be
found that be parts his hair in the
middle. But what honest granger
will have the backbone togo to punch
ing round after that cunning colored
gent, who lies low among the fuel?
We made brief mention last week
of the murder of a woman named Mrs.
Smith wife of A. C. Smith, near
Council Bluffs, and that it was sup
posed a half breed Indian named
Chas. Fisher was the murderer. Since
that .time the dead body of Fisher was,
found in Smith's well. The coroner's
jury on Fisher's case rendered a decis
ion that he had "committed suicide
by jumping into a well." The theo
ry set up is that he ravished Mrs.
Smith, and then through remorse and
fear that his crime would be found out,
threw himself into the well, 60 feet
deep.
Mrs. Smith when found was lying
dead in a little cellar leading from her
kitchen on a pile of hay, her throat
cut, her babe unmolested, with her.
There were no evidence of a scuffle.
The Indian corpse, says the editor of
a Council Bluffs paper, who was there
showed a wound on the head clean
cut, four inches in length, and into
the brain, looking as if done with the
bit of a hatchet. It doesn't seem
probable that he could have received
such a cut on the head by throwing
himself into the well, walled as it
was with brick, and his position in
the well indicated that he had gone
down feet foremost, as bit head was
up. The Bluffs- papers very truly de
olare the murder of Mrs. Smith is now,
since Fisher is found, more of a mys
tery than ever. The matter of at least
second importance now is the ques
tion : Who murdered the Indian ?
A man named Fitch, in New York,
tells a Chicago Tribune reporter ail
about the origin of the Colorado stouts
man. According to Fitch's expose, he
and a man named Hull, who perpetrat
ed the Cardiff Giantswlndle, made the
"petrified man,'' with a tail, at Elk
land, Pa., out of cement and shipped
it to Colorado springs where one of
Barnum'sold employes took charge
of it and carried out the humbug to
its (Hsoovery. Barnum. furnished the
money. It is possible that Fitch's
story is a biinrer swindle than the
stone man. Singular that a Chicago
newspaper reporter should succeed iu
advance of any of the New York papers
in inducing one of the parties to the
swindle to turn traitor, and in pump
ing him so thoroughly dry without an
apparent effort. Fitch was seeming
ly just waiting and anxious for some
body toaik him something so that be
could talk, and the Chicago Tribune's
man was the luckv one. How bad the
sleepy reporters of the Tribune, Sun,
Times, etc., must feel about it.
The Matthews resolutions passed
the House by an overwhelming ma
jority. An Inter Ocean special says
this vote "indicates as plainly as can
be indicated what the result will be
when the Bland bill comes there
again, if it ever does, saddled with a
veto. Expressions from men who
voted to-day are that President Hayes
dare not, should not, and will not, re
fuse to accept such an overwhelming
vote as the will of the people, and act
accordingly. The seventy-nine men
who voted against the resolutions rep
resent not producers, but speculators
and money-lenders ; and, as General
Butler says, they have ruled the coun
try long enough. No important meas
ures ever passed by such an over
whelming majority. The silver men
could have lost thirty votes and still
had a two-thirds majority, and yet
several of their strength were Absent
without pairs.''
The fight between Secretary Schurz
and the Indian Bureau as it existed
under Commissioner Smith, is begin
ning to get interesting. Smith is a
gentleman of considerable resources,
and he don't propose to bo portrayed
as an incompetent, who permitted the
government to be robbed by bis neg
ligence, while he is personally such a
very honest and conscientious man.
It is due to every public servant that
he be allowed to show that he is not a
fool, and Smith in making a fight
against the wily Schurz. will certain
ly demonstrate his intellectual ability
before the matter is ended, if he has
any to show. He has called two pret
ty able witnesses Gen. Sherman and
Prof. Seeley, late M. C, who was on
the committee of Indian affairs and
they both back him witli considerable
enercry. State Journal.
The more we hear of Schurz the
more are .we convinced that he is a
consummate spider legged old demagogue.
Ex-Gov. Hendricks of Indiana re
cently wrote a letter to August Bel
mont, N. Y. city, which is published.
It concludes as follows :
Should silver money be restored I
have thought the pledge of 18G9 of
payment in coin, and assurance in the
act of 1870 of payment in coin at their
standard value, would seem to author
ize, almost to require compliance with
the contract ; it cannot be a breach of
public faith. Our country is a large
producer of silver. As to its value I
think that when restored silver will
approach and perhaps reach gold iu
value, but should expeiience prove
that it must remain below gold be
cause of greater production, congress
has ample power to provide against
any evils likely to follow.
Mr. Hendricks Is right on thi3 sil
ver question, it seems, and to be right
upon that matter at this time may be
an important item in making up the
list of thosewho have a longing to be
trotted out upon the next Presidential
race course.
To show the runious effect of crim
inal tampering with the money of the
country: immediately after the de
monetizing act, failures to business
firms and men, suddenly sprang up
to a ratio of 1 to 103. It has contin
ued to increase until in 1877 the ratio
was I to 73. In the Eastern States the
ratio Is 1 to 58; Middle States, 1 to 73 ;
Southern States 1 to So, and iu the
Western States about 1 percent. The
West seems to stand up as well, or
better than any other portion of the
country. Her products, beef, pork,
corn aud wheat will enable her to
hold her own-, notwithstanding the
repeated threats of the East to crush
her. With these elements of power,
and sufficient In her hands she will
stand the pressure about as long with
them as the East can without thorn.
The New York 2'ribune, owned by
Jay Gould, and edited by Whitelaw
Ried, is fearfully exercised over the
silver question. It advises the coun
try to "brand" the two-tbirds mem
bers of Congress "for all time to
come ;" suggests that "the moniod
power of the East combine and resort
to any means in their power to defeat
the silver bill," and caps "the-climax-
by assuring the people that England
will no longer allow the United States
to kiss her big toe. The Tribune may
as well become reconciled. The peo
ple of this country are fully aroused to
their true interests, aud mean to as
sert their power for the right.
The Louisiana returning board may
be sent to the penitentiary, yet the
weight of these blows falls most heav
ily upon R. B. Hayes. He turned
from the old love for the new and now
finds that he has warmed and resusci
tated a viper which is stinging
him to

and whose words of

Hayes should step down and out, and
admit that he has made an ass of him
self and is the most consummate failure
of the nineteentli century.

The editor of the Saline county Dem
ocrat says he would vote for George L.

consistent in preferring either one of
the two most sneaking rebels he could
think of, to either one of the two great

wanting to know if Chandler is a cer

leputable things (uaming them). If
he is, Burke won't say anything; if
he is not, Burke thinks hewi!I reply.
Of course Burke knows very well
who Chandler.is, and we don't see ex
actly what Chandler's acts in 1872 has
to do with that memorandum anyway.
No matter if he be the biggest rascal
