The War department has news to
warrant the belief that another Sioux
war will commence this spring.
The only members of Hayes' cabi
net favoring silver remoneti2ation is
Secretaries Thompson and McCrary.
It scerus that they are still after
Boss Tweed. Another judgment has
been rendered against him for $1,000,

on the situation, Baid be better calcu

A bill pending before the Maine leg

The Inter Ocean is sarcastic on the
city fathers of Chicago for refusing to

honor of George Washington's birth
day, It is gratifying to learn that during
the recent fox chase in England,
while there were many accidents to
Lords, ladles and horses, the fox es

pretty good bill, let who may have
written it.
The Omaha Republican says Gen.

Bruce, is a negro, a Republican, and

We are glad to hear from Congress
that the silver -question is not
ended yot. and that it will cot be un
til the free coinage clause is added to
the bill and the international confer
ence clause stricken therefrom. The
measure with free coinage left out
fails to meet the demands and needs
of the people. And so far as a confer
ence with European countries is con
cerned to assist in fixing standards for
this country, the people of this coun
try can take care of their own coin
and finances without and help from
those particularly interested in gold.
The Omaha Republican tells some
thing of the career of "a pious fraud,
who preached in Omaha about two
years ago,'' for the First Baptist
Church. His right name appears to
bo "Rev. Lloyd Morgan, "but since he
left Omaha has had charge of church
es under assumed names. In Gales
burg, III., he preached for the Bap
tists, and was known as the Rev. W.
H. H. Templeton. He sometimes
preaches for the Presbyterians. He
has been arrested several times on
criminal charges, once for seduction
and once for theft.- He ie represented
sb being scholarly and well versed in
the Scriptures.
When one glances about and sees
how many deservean eternity of pun
ishment, I would be very sorry to
ibink there was no lower region In
which they would receive their just
dues.
The above P6ntence is clipped from
an article said to have been written
by a woman (!) as her thouch ts while
listening to a Jeoturo by Col. Inger
eoll. A woman! Her name Ib not
given, but what an amiable, charita-j
bU, forgirinjj, engoI:c, Gliminsesoni
she must be. A hundred years, a
thousand years, a million of years In a
lake of fire and brimstone would not
bo sufficient punishment for some
people this immaculate woman sees
when she "glances about," but Bhe,
sitting in judgment upon others
would consign them to "an eternity
of punishment. Woman, Mercy,
Charity, are synonymous terms, us
ually, but here is an exception. One
listened to Ingersoll who would find
fault with Ged's plan if He has not
provided an endless hell of excruciat
ing pain for her child, her sister, her
mother, should they fall to toe the
mark she has drawn. What a wo
man !
The war cloud suspended over Rus
sia and England seems to be enlarg
ing and darkening. The London
Telegraph ssys, "Nothing could .be
more dark or more difficult than the
prospect now before the country,"
The Times says it considers the situ
ation very unsatisfactory. Europe is
armed to the teeth, and is increasing
Its armaments day by day. In such
circumstances the country can but
give its confidence to the government,
and trust they will be able to control
dangerous succeptibillties which have
on all Bides been aroused.
The Agence liusse, the principal
paper at St. Petersburg, makes a slight
rift iu the cloud. It says "The situa
tion has Improved through under
standing between England and Rus
sia whereby Russia will not occupy
Gallipoli and England will not land
troops on the shores of the Dardanel
les. Negotiations for peace are mak
ing progress. To hasten them Grand
Duke Nicholas, by agreement with
the porte, has transferred his head
quarters to San Btefano and will meet
there Safvet Pasha. The signature
to peace conditions will follow."
The annual meeting of the Nation
al Association of soldiera of the Mex
ican war was held in Baltimore, Md.
on the 22nd inst. Gen. J. W. Den
ver, president of the Association, pre
sided. At roll call over 100 members
resDonded. Gen. W. W. Davis, of
Pa., delivered the oration. The sec
retary's report showed a membership
numbering 4,949. A resolution was
adopted asking the President of the
United States to employ Mexican war
veterans iu government departments,
in navy yards and elsewhere, and
makiug no distinction between Mexi
can veterans who fought during the
late war in either the Union or con
federate state armies. A committee
was appointed to visit Washington
and urge upon Congress to pass a bill
granting pensions to soldiers of the
Mexican war. The next annual
meeting will be lu Baltimore Febru
ary 22d 1879.
P. S. We are one of 'era, and the
passage of such a bill would be agree
able to us.
Dr. Oppermann writes to the
Omaha Bee as follows :
Sheridan is located In the centre of
Nemaha county, was laid out iti 1SS9.
and is now a nice little village with
three stores of general merchandise,
one drug store, one hardware store.
one meat market, one hotel, and about
forty dwellings, one sohool houae.and
one church building. A brick yard
was opened here last summer and 100.
000 good brick were burnt which were
sold within a circumference of thirty
mile. A good brickmaker Is wanted
for thisyear. to come and take hold of
the yard and utensils at once. We al
so want a shoe-maker, furniture deal
er and photographer. The propeots
of thiB little town were npver better,
and there is a good chance for mechan
ics, manufacturers, farmers, and pro-
feslonalists.
Those who opposed the passage of
the Bland silver bill are consoling
themselves since its triumphant pass
age, that the Senate amendment lira
iting the amount of coinage to four
millions of dollars a month is a vie
torv for them. Well, so be it. What
the friends of tho silver bill desired
most, and what they have obtained,
was a restoration of the silver dollar
that had been stolen. This they have
got, and if four million, or even two
million the minimum be coined
monthii, the people, business, and
the county will be in a measure satis
fied, and credit and confidence restor
ed. When the final vote on the silver
bill was announced more than suffi
cient to pass It over a veto was the
country declared ruined? Did gold
go up, and bonds down? Did Eng
land stick up her nose and say she
would not purohase any more com
modities from the United States?
Did Wall street tuke off all freight
trains conveying Western corn, beef,
wheat and pork to the Eastern mark
ets? Not much !
The theory advanced by tho late
Natloual Greenback convention, as
other nonsensical speakers and writ
ers, that Congress has power, and
ought to "regulate the value of mon
ey," Is the hugest kind of "poppy."
Congress has but one duty to perform
in this matter. That is to make mon
ey, .business or the country will reg
ulate the value.
Judge Whitaker, on the motion for

OUR ITASniXGTOK LETTER.
Washington, D. C.,
Feb. 14, 1878.
Dear Advertiser: It Is sometime
since I exercised my mind in your
behalf; but seeing your familiar face
to-day, with columns looking cleaner
and brighter, if possibla, than ever
before, and glistening with sheriff
and other paying advertisements, for
years diverted and given to build. up
hybred rather than thoroughbred
newspapers, I feel constrained to jot
down a few lines, hoping they may
be read as cheerfully as they are pen
ned. But the truth is, his 8x7 Excellency
sat down on my political anatomy
nearly a year since, and well nigh
squeezed out of me all inclination to
to write. No man was ever so much
indebted to party as was Hayes, and
yet stalwart, heroic friends, were
never so scurvilj', cruelly treated In
return. It Is a fact, which no one
here will gainsay, that Republicans
of character, whose names are synon
ymous with honor, loyalty, ability
and consistency, are not welcome
guests at the Executive mansion ;
whereas the Hills, Lamars, Gordons,
and others, whose names carry with
them the flavor of treason and disloy
alty, are In high favor there. Tho
Atlanta Constitution is a Lamar and
Gordon, as also a Hayes, organ; and
but a few days ago It said, in answer
to Eli Perkins, who, in one of his let
cers spoke of Jeff. Davis as a "trait
or," said "the South is full of just
such traitors as Jeff Davis. Treason,
Buch as his, grows on every bush and
tree, and the little children are taught
to call It patriotism."
I always supposed that "accident"
and "misfortune" were convertible
terms, but Hayes has explained to
me the difference. It is acknowl
edged that the nomination of the
Buckeye Governor by the Republi
cans was an "accident;" that he
lived to avail himself of the honors
attaching thereto wasa "misfortune."
Mayhaps I am too rabid, but I have
ever held the Democracy as Tom
Moore held the Brunswlcke'rs, and
with the change of a single word, I
quote:
"Be all that a Democrat is not, nor conld be.
And you'll be all that an honest man should
be,"
and the more I see of that party, as
revealed here, the more I am satis
lied that it is a stye iu the eye, a can
cer in the face, a leprosy of the sys
tem, and a fistula in arms of the body
politic.
It is said that "all things wt,rk to
gether for good," and my vision seems
at times to penetrate the veil which
hangs between 1878 and 18S0; and I
believe that the course Hayes is tak
ing, together with the programme
which his followers, the Democracy,
will inaugurate and carry out, will
eventuate in the arousing and re
kindling of the aggregate patriotism
of the country, and a little gentleman
now on the other side of the ocean
will be called upon to seize the Re
publican flag and carry It to victory
and honor. -
The silver question has been the
momentous themo here of late.
Some one has said that the less a man
knows the more he professes to
know about the future state, and
you have noticed that the less money
u man had the more he professed to
know about finance. To prove this
base I will put my own In. And
first, I think that Blaine hit the nail
on the head in his financial speech.
His theory, boiled down, la
1. That the silver dollar shall be 425
grains instead of 412J as formerly,
which shall have unlimited coinage
and be an unlimited legal tender.
2. All profits of coinage shall go to
the government and not to the bullion
operators.
3. Silver dollars, or bullion assayed
and mint stair ped, may be deposited
with the Assistant Treasurer of New
York, for which coin certificates may
be Issued, the same In denomination
as bank notes, not below $10, and that
these shall be redeemable on demand
In coin oi bullion, thus furnishing a
paper circulation based on an actual
deposit of precious metal, giving us
notes as valuable as those of the Bank
of England, and doing away at once
with the inconvenience of silver on
account of weight or bulk.
Before the demonetization of silver
the silver dollar standard was 412$
grains, because that was established
as the relative value of the gold dol
lar. It was larger than the golden
dollar, but accepted ou the principle
that men take a little woman or a big
one as equal in value, i. e., each were
recognized as dollars as each of the
latter are as women. But the demon
etization of silver impaired the value
of sliver in the commercial world, and
besides the fractional parts of a silver
dollar never bore a proper relation to
their reputed father i. e., four quar
ters, or two halves, never contained
412 grains hence, it is weU, inas
much as our hand is in, to make our
silver dollar international as well as
national, and to put in it enough to
estop legal objections. As I under
stand it Senator Paddock opposes the
Bland bill, bqt supports Blaine's idea,
though I have not conversed with
him on the subject; but I cannot be
lieve that he will vote against the
Bland bill If it proves to be the only
one which can carry agaiust the
leeches In aud out of Congress who
clamor for their pound of flesh. I,
for one. am willing they shall have
the flesh, but not one drop of blood.
Now, a word about Congress. I
have been here many years several
before I saw Nemaha county, aud
every one since and truth, of which
I have always been a devotee, com
pels me to say that the present eclip
ses all of them in the point of rmn-
Intolligence. Were you here, you
would agree with me that the majori
ty were unfitted to occupy and prop
erly fill the position of chambermaid

that the people of the United States

anxiously awaiting action of their
body to regulate the financial policy
of the government so that they, too.
might celebrate Christmas. .No. M.
C.'s had to go home and put into the
stockings of their children presents
bought at the capital city, -while in
every State in the Union children
would, consequent upon their dilato
riness, jump from their little teds
on Christmas morning and find their
little stockings empty, thus filling
their little hearts with grief for the
first time while the parents, still
alive and awake, would also shed salty
tears consequent upon their inability
to cater to the requirements of the
occasion. Oh, Temporal Oh, Moses!
We, who boast of our American Ea
gle standing upon the Rocky Moun
tains, with its beak in the northern
lakes, Its tail In the Gulf of Mexico,

creatures that we are. Our Eagle has
been bereft of its plumage. The hats
of Southern rebels are bedeoked with
cockades taken therefrom.

ii'ourniug over "departed spirits,"
while emaciated specimens of the
genus homo are wandering the streets,
crying with Othello: "Oh, thou in
visible spirit of wine; if there be no
other name wo will call thee devil."
But to my taste, the best apostrophe
ever offered to whisky. Is that which
I once found iu the life of Marion,
and ran thus:
"Brandy I brady ! bane or life,
Spring of turmoil, source of strife ;
Could I but hulf thy curses tell,
The wlso would wish thee safe In hell."
I don't know of personal knowl
edge what good Murphy has done,
but I do know that many of the men
I meet on the streets have blue rib
bons attached to their button-holes
albeit some of them be drunk and
almost every dog on the street has his
tail decorated with a blue ribbon. All
right; but, honestly, I would not like
to be bitten by a dog wearing a blue
ribbon on nis tail. By this I don't
want to be understood as opposing
Murphy or temperance. I have little
confidence in the former from his own
confessions; but experience has
taught me, as it will everybody, that
temperance U good to take, while
whisky is a bane without antidote,
save obstinence. If you don't believe
it, ask Wash.
