THE DAILY NEWS. (r*tuM nil ~~ — iiRjBSDAr~AUQCST “isTlOT^ JOHNHTHOLLPAiriwmTiff^^ The Daily Newt has the lau-gMt oixcal** lion of tay paper in Indiana, and ia read In nearly every town and Tillage tributary to Indianapolis. The area of camp meetings prevails generally. From present indications the cotton crop will fall little short of last year’s. ‘ It was auppoeed the council was ask5ng for proposals to repair the wooden block pavements, and not to make new ones.

The following unanswerable conundrum is put by the New York Tribune: Why does the workingman always pick out for a candidate a man who has naver worked at all »»v« with his tongue? It seems difficult to get a commission to arbitrate with Sitting Bull. The president ought to look this way. He can get np any kind of a commission in Indiana, as long as there is per diem and mileage in it.

There are 300,000 inhabitants in Son Francisco, and the current expenses of the city government are $3,471,929.84. Dedocting interest on debt the actual expenses are $3,124,571.92. Inasmuch as the successful government of this country is the government of the cities of it, San Francisco would be a good plase to begin work in the problem: “What sort of government is it that costs every man, woman and child in it a little over ten dollars a piece per annum?”

Is the four per cent, loan had been offered since the strikes it is probable the subscriptions would not be heavy. The government has been fortunate in getting so much taken. France has been offering a four per cent, thirty year loan, and the public subscriptions were bo few that the minister withdrew the bonds and sold them to bankers. The Russian loan, which bears eight per cent has been a failure in Germany, a euspicion prevailing that the issue of paper money has been greatly increased Bince the war began.

The Texas and Pacific railroad demands for congressional aid were stated by the directors, at their meeting in Philadelphia Tuesday, to be for the construction of an open highway, 14,000 miles long, from Fort "Worth to San Diego, which, with the road now in operation, shall be under government control; the government’s liability to be limited to $2,500,000 per annum, for which a first mort gage is offered upon the road and 18,000,000 acres of land. Five per cent, government bonds are asked at the rate of $35,000 per mile of road constructed, $5,000 per mile to remain in the United States treasury. They say it ia a private enterprise, de» Signed to give the people a national highway without cost to the government Its construction at this time is urged as affording a field for the employment of the surplus labor of the * .country, and the recent discoveries of coal mines and the development of such agricultural and mining lands along the rente. .

Orb remedy for the ills of the times that the class now without work in the cities must go to the country where they will have work, is more fanciful than real. The loes of equilibrium cau not be ree to red by bodily pulling the ballast from one place to the other as on b river steamer. It can not he pulled at all. It may to a degree he persuaded, but it must go, if it goes at at all, from the desire for self-betterment, or in the last reetort the instinct of self-preserva-tion. It has come to this with many, bat they have no means of going. A man living from hand to mouth in a city can not get transportation, enter land, purchase tools, build a cabin and feed himEeli and family for a year till a crop comes. But there are some who can do this, and ought to do this. Not in the philanthropic sense of bettering their fellow men; people don’t emigrate on that principle, but in the sense of bettering themselves. Instead of six to eight dollars a week, with life in a grimy street, children In poor health, growing into idleness and viciousneas, the laboring man in the country may have hoard and clothes enough and to spare, wife and children with rosy cheeks, busy hands and clothed in their right minds. There Is plenty of assistance for those who are willing to make an effort in this direction. There is hardly a state in the south or west that is not daily offering inducements for settlers. Even Kentucky, within a stone’s throw of Indiana’s idle people wants settlers for her cheap unoccupied lands. Trade onions which lay away money to support their members when out of work, could not nse their funds in a wiser way than advancing sufficient to their idle members to enable them to cut loose from $ preefcrious condition of existence and make a start in one which, whatever it may laek in their eyes, gives health and food and clothea.

Before . leaving Oregon Senator Morton made a speech. What doee the reader snppoee it was about? Public safety, labor and capital, commerce and the finances? Not at all. It was the danger that the south would demand and extract payment for their slaves! This was the center and circumference of a very long epeech. We do not understand the man who at this time thinks that question an issue in this government and endeavors to make it one. Where is his acuteness, his foresight, his patriotism? Every man in the land should know now that the southern question in all its ramifications of solid south, rebel claims, confederate pensions, secession and all things leading to or flowing from it are dead and gone and will not be resurrected. A greater revolution than the war of the rebellion has swept over this country. It has ended the sentimental notions and the false and sickly issues founded on hate and nourished on prejudice, which have kept the people apart for a decade. They are as effectively blotted out as the antediluvians by the flood. There is a new growth of issues. It h&s matured quicker than short time bank paper. Less than thirty days and we are confronted by queations which virtually cover the business of a people. Questions of administration, tariff, labor, capital, commerce, internal improvement, the finances, economic ^questions of every kind. And on these the people are divided as people always are in business transactions, not as they are on questions of climate, race, or color. It is little less than insult to harangue the people from pages of political history written years ago. “A rapid review of fifteen years; a solid south and the consequences; southern pledges violated; payment of rebel claims to be demanded; this purpose not abandoned; the doctrines of the rebellion still taught.” These are some of the sutfeheads of the senator’s speech and the peroration was the old gospel of hate, the bitter appeal for the north to stand solid as a north and oppose the south as a south. We think every fair minded American citizen will be ashamed of the sound of that protest among the nations of the world, knowing that in the heart of questions which affect our eredit and standing as a nation, one of our political leaders is pleading for one part of this people to pnt itseli in enmity against the other on questions ended long ago. As to the payment of rebel claims, loss of slaves and the like, if Senator Morton will let a little of that insatiable and Macaulay-like desire for knowledge which some sapient correspondent discovered in him, extend to the constitution of the United States, he will find in the fourth section of the XIY amendment the following: “Neither the United States, nor any sUte, shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion Sga'nst the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave.” This can only be repealed by a twothirds majority of congress, approved by the legislatures of twenty-nine states. Of course it is likely that half the north will join a solid south to load themselves with debt!

AST UKVALCVLATtn FOMVB. It is not easy to explain the almost continuous series of Russian defeats in the west since the passage of the Danube and in the east from the advance on Kars, by forces inferior in numbers, discipline, skilled officers, equipment, and all military preparation. It is not enough to say that the Turks, acting on the defensive in their own country, have had the choice of positions. Thev have always had that in wars with Russia, and yet, except when hacked ty allies, have nearly always been roughly handled all along the contest from the proclamation of war to the protocol of peace. It is no adequate explanation to say that the Russians have been weakened by sickness, by commissarial frauds, by natural mischances which have delayed active operations and damaged well concerted plans. There has been, in an exclusively military aspect, no more in the way of Russia in this war than in any of the dozen or more that she has waged with Turkey in the two hundred years since Peter the Great seized Azof, with no better excuse than that he wanted it to get an eastern outlet to his inland empire. We begin to think that Turkish pluck and persistence, never greatly deficient, have become conspicuously abundant under the influence of religious sentiment and incitement. These have never been wholly absent In any Turkish war, but now, stirred by the proclamation of a religions conflict, the parade of the prophet’s banner and an universal impulse of religious animosity, that most daring, unsparing and enduring of all human qualities, fanaticism, is playing an important part in the war, replacing poor discipline, supplementing poor pay, bearing hnnger, weariness and peril cheerfully, and caring little for a death that pasies them with the last bteath to the gardens of the blessed. Contempt of death will make a terrible soldier of any man able to fire a gun, and Islamism inculcates that sentiment as sedulously as Christianity inculcates fear of God and faith in Christ. In all the wars of the world, in all ages, there has been no support of stubborn endurance, no impulse of astounding audacity like religious faith

and fervor. The soldier that trusts in God, he his God what he may, and “keeps his powder dry,” is nnmmtched for the march or the fight, for patient suffering and nnquailing courage. Take the religious element from Cromwell’s “Ironsides” and Rnpert’s fiery cavaliers would have ridden them down like eheep. But they soon taught their enemies that fighting and praying were by no means uncongenial associates in a righteous cause, and Royalists all learned to hear the psalmody of the advancing Roundheads with far more dread than they ever heard a roar of artillery.“Adad,’ says old Sir Jasper Cranhourne in “Peveril,” when the Puritans started a hymn at the castle, “that is the very . “ tune with which prick-eared villains “ began their onset at Wiggan-lane, “ where they trowled ns down like so “ many nine>pins. If you set upon the '“ psalm-singing knaves, Dick, thou “ mightest come by the worst, my boy, " as has chanced to thee before.” The French, early in the revolution, made a god of liberty and equality, and derived from these political ideas a fierceness of enthusiasm as courageous, enduring aad relentless as the sternest religious fanaticism. It was a fanaticism, too, but of civil rights instead of heavenly aspirations. It bore down all resistance of discipline, equipment and skill, by a defiance of danger aad contempt of death that more than equalized differences of military preparation. The soldier that fights for pay, for duty made habitual by discipline, for fear of punishment, and stands at his poet because he is ordersd to do it, and fights and risks his life because all his comrades do, and, in short, is merely a fighting machine directed by habits of obedience, ^ with no impulse of individual resolution, no sentiment of patriotism, no ambition of honor, is no match for men inspired by the same spirit which animated Wolfe and Warren and Bozzaris and Hampden and the heroes who have willingly sacrificed their lives to a noble sentiment or a high impulse. The Turks are unquestionably more or less affected by a kindred influence now, and many a terrible battle field, from the Tagus to the Tigris, tells how desperately they fought when there was victory on one side and heaven on the other. They have beaten the Russians single handed, once advancing to Moscow and compelling a humiliating peace. They may do it again, though in these days the chances are that, as Napoleon said: “God is on the side of the “heaviest battalions.” a nor n kk kb roL tTixo sFoaamLT. There has been no time since the overthrow of the communistic faction in Paris, that opinions have not been occasionally advanced against the permanence of the French republic. It is doubtful if any intelligent American has ever trusted its permanence. It is doubtful if any intelligent man anywhere believes it possible for a people of Latin descent to maintain self-govern-ment through a single generation. The News, with many other papers, expressed the apprehension several years ago, before the septennate, that the republic would soon degenerate into a semi-des-potism and be ready for the usurpation of a new master. We believed that the degeneration of self-government would prepare for a return of imperialism and a second swallowing by the Napoleonic dynasty,and would operate much the same way as the slimy licking that a boa constrictor gives its victim to make it easy of deglutition. We noted the fact that though the imperial faction was, in appearance, the smallest of all the parties, it was, in ability, in political experience, in skill of intrigue, and in a measure of favor won by eighteen years of the most prosperous times the country ever knew, the most really dangerous of alt opposed to genuine republicanism. Rouher, -the best politician in any party, managed it. Wealthy men favored and contributed to aid it The army retained a traditional admiration for the founder of the dynasty. The clergy remembered with regret the utter devotion of the empress to their interests. The hourgeoise could not forget the vast increase of trade, the enlarged commercial marine, the beneficent puolic works of the empire. The elements out of which to construct a formidable imperial party were abundant and easily reached. Hopeless as a Bonapartist, restoration seemed then and seems yet to a casual observation, there was something for skill and energy to build upon, and while energy remains despair stays out of doors. Now we begin to see signs, that however impossible a popular reaction in favor of the Napoleonic dynasty may be, a combination of the ruling elements in its support ia not impossible. All the repressive legislation and executive exaction of the last three years, tend straight to the establishment of a condition of things that must make the idea of a monarch of some kind and the displacement of the republic, familiar. MacMahon has punished more men for insulting him in the last two years than Louis Napoleon did in ten. The press restrictions are as vigorous and their enforcement as harsh and exasperating as they ever were under the empire, and there can be no surer sign of a decaying self government and a growing inclination for “paternal” government than a press muzzled, punished, and suppressed for

a free discussion of affairs, in which by the theories ant} laws of the government it has as much interest and as much right to debate it as the president himself. The press if 1 the month of the pnblic, and when the pnblicmay not use its mouth to speak its feelings, despotism has made a long step towards the displacement of republicanism. Within two days the conservatives have clamored loudly for the proclamation of martial law, or state of Beige, so as to leave in the president’s hands all power of a general in his army, just at the time the elections come on. Even the mild Doupanloup, bishop of Orleans, growls savagely for it The object of course is to give the government a wide opportunity to force elections to suit itself. As might have been bxpected, the clergy support and swell the clamor, and they represent a vast force of the ignorant classes and a small one of the better classes. The Bonapartists are foremost in the movement. They are largely represented in the ministry. They are showing power everywhere. They have come rapidly to the front recently. Does that not appear to be, if not an an opening for a restoration, a place where an opening is likely to occur, in the success of the government against the republican candidates for the assembly? Allow the republican element to be overt mastered in the legislature by any of the tricks or menaces of authority, and the army is turned practically against a republic. The clergy have always oppoeed it. The peasantry are what the clergy pleases. It certainly would not be difficult for such a legislature, with such an executive as MacMahon, with such support as they can count on, to effect a “coup d’etat” in favor of any body they liked against the decided hostility of the great body of the people. The drift of events appears to run strongly towards some such operation, or some act of fatal animoaity to the radicals or republicans.

Samuel Bowles and C. F. Adam*. IJoM&h PuliUer in New York Bun.l No one hears of Sam. Bowles without thinking of Charles Francis Adams. No one hears of Charles Francis Adams without thinking of Sam. Bowles. The number of stories and jokes connecting the two names floating through the American prese ia inexhaustible. I freefy confess to have had an idea myself that the personal relations of the Adams and Bowles aforesaid were of the most intimate character. I know that many others went much further. I believe there was and still is an impression upon the minds of many people that Bam. Bowles never allows his paper to go to press without first seeing Charles Francis Adams. And upon the minds of the natives, if. I can use the expretsion, the impression exists that no one stands politically nearer to Charles Francis Adams than Sam. Bowles. Upon the authority of the iatter I prick this babble, strange as it may seem. Bowles told me himself, when I asked bim about Mr. Adams, that he scarcely knew him personally; that Chas. Francis Adams had never croseed the threshold of Sam. Bowles’s house; that Bam. Bowles never in bis life crossed the threshold of Charles Francis Adams’s house except once, on the occasion of a formal dinner given in honor of Newton Booth, the senator from California; that besides this Bam. Bowles, though born in Springfield, Maieachr,setts, never met Charles Francis Adams personally except ones or twice, and then only by accident and most casually. ^

How It mriglii be Arranged. [Philadelphia Times.) Ohio can hardly thank Blue Jeans Williams sufficiently for his entering into the lists with Stanley Matthews, to see how many different kinds of a fool a man can be. Stanley bad been getting ahead so fast that it looked as if he would distance the field until “Uncle Jimmy” appeared. When Stanley reachee the white bouse on the communist platform, James is the man for secretary of fctate. His appeal to McCrary for troops and his statesmanlike letter “To whom it may concern,” written at the request of his son-in-law, show him to be the one man for Matthew’s secretary of state.

Has raised his fruit-crowned head. Be plucks the pear with its flavor rare. And the grape with its dusters red. With his knee on the sod he thanks his God For His mercies and favors free; And be lays him along while he lists the song Of the thrush in the old oak tree; While the waters glide with the rippling tide. And the zephyrs softly creep O’er the quivering leavM, 'midst the murmuring trees. And lull the sense te sleep. Butwhen thundering Jove from his stores above - Bends wintry winds and rain. And rock and wood, and field and flood, Lay bound in his icy chain, With many a hound, in the woods areund. He hunts the griszly boar; And ere daylight fade his gleaming blade Is r$d with the monster s gore. When the sun has set he spreads his net. And the partridge fluttering, dies; He takes the hare in his erafty snare, And the crane, a goodly prize, ’Mid }oys like these what ills can tease— Who could remember pain? He feels no wrong, and he laughs at the throng Of the eares that swell lore’s train. If a loving wife—best staff of life— Be his, and children dear. The fire bams bright with its ruddy light His homeward step to cheer. At the cottage door, when his toil is o’er, She stands with her smile so sweet, And holds up her face with a modest grace. His welcome Kiss to meet. And children glad swarm around their dad. Bat the hangry man must dine; So she spreads the cloth and he saps his broth, While she nonrs oat her home-made wine. “SCRAPS.”
