The Daily News has the largest circulation of any paper in Indiana, and is read In nearly every town and Tillage tributary to Indianapolis. What about the repairing of the wooden pavement? What has become of that council committee appointed to consider the feasibility of having street cleaning and repairing done by contract? Will Mr. Marsee ihe and report progress? 8*nator Morton’s condition has improved very much g'n^e Siturday and his physicians feel encouraged. He is .a man whom it is not safe to guess about. He bas been near death m»iy times, apparently, but has a’ways shown a most extraordinary vitality. The fire record in July shows a tot‘* : loss of $4,182,900, with au insurance of $.’>,292,603. Th’s does not include the incendia»y fires at Pittsburgh during the riot,.as the lorscs have not been computed. The total losses in July, 1870, were $-5,917,100, and the insurance $2,831,600. The losses iu Indiana last month were $120,-SCO, with insurance of $38,5C0. This is beantiful weather, but it is just the kind in which people should be . particularly easeful about themselves. The cool night a’r is full of danger and people shoo'd be in it as little as pt- ssi" ble. Warm woolen clothing should be worn by day, with plenty of covering by night, for until frost comes the air will be saturated with malaria, bringlr'’ ague, typhoids and a host of other i'ls. Col. Wi < Lesley’s repon of the atrocities in l^key onfii ms the belief expressed by The News that with the Russians toiture and needless cruelties have not hrsn pan of their system of warfare; that such accusations are ent^cly unfounded, but that it is a war in which little quarter is shown on either side. Ou the pa-t of the Turks probably the half bas not been told concere'rg the'' - cruelty. Thti powers cf Erupo have iasfvnt d Germany's piot~3t Ega ; nst t’ em . At a free»loveia’ camp, near Boston, the other day, where Stophen Pearl Andrews and other old women spouted immoral and crazy notions on. everything from a nu aistm of fonetik spelng to a new set of laws for the universe, Mrs. Dr. Somebodya opened her budget, and there, among a lot of other imps, was the little little joker, “unlimited “ paper money, to be issued by the gov- *' ernment and loaned to the people at a 11 low rate of interest.” Whatever the isms, from Utopianism to communism, you always find the rag baby set up in the system somewhere. It is easy to*spend, but ha r d to pay. . A few years ago eve’y town and village in Kansas, as well as in o‘her states, wanted a railroad, and the people were ready and anxious to vote any amount of debt to procure them. Now they have the railroads and they have the debts, and knowing the former can not be t-iken aw ay and feeling the burden of the latter, they are disposed to repudiate. There are several counties in which the debt exceeds the appraised, value of all the prope. ly. la several counties the commiimoneja refuse to levy any tax to par ifitere others are trying to compromise at twenty-five to fifty per cent. The republican congressmen of this state aunou'oee their adhesion to the silver debar of the daddies doctrine. It the remonetization of stiver only restores the old condition, it will make no difference. The old eUver dollar which was an unlimited legal tendf r, never existed in quantities large enough to affect the cimency. Eight milbons was the largest amount ever outstam' og, and the dollar being worth more than gold did not Grc .late at all. U it is the intention^ to restore this state o' i.'ings no otre will object seriously, but if the idea ia to coin silver by the wholesale, that is a specie# of inilution tu much totter than moot of tho greenback lunacies. • Thkhs bas been some real fighting in the east, and averaging the reports the advantage seems to be on the side of the TurkjL They outfight the Russians - man to man. They have more brawn, pluck and daring. They are on the defensive, to be sure. Everything they have is at stake and human nature can do more under such circumstances, but aside frem this the story of every fight

hts told, that as warriors, they are bet* ter men than the Russians. Their ancient valor seems in no wise diminished. It is not at all clear that Turkey will requiro English aid or any other. Schipka pass is probably retaken. The wild red roses in its rugged sides, which give name to the pass btve paled beside the rivets of blood' that have stained the defi’e Tno fighting has beendc:perate and the advantage, if not the victory, ia with the Turks. The line of retreat to Gabrova is commanded by the Tu^ks, and the outcome point: to a decie've victory. Suleiman Pasha emerging on the north side of the Balkans will be in communication with Mehcmet Al* at Osman Osman Pasha on the wesi from Plevna down t v ou'jh Lovatz and Sslvi wih be wit¥o striking distance, and Reouf Pasha at Rasgrad on the east will complete the cresent. This will be effective and rapid contraction for the Russians, a quick reduction of their ecopo o! operations in Bulgaria. They may bo driven ba:-k on Bjela, possibly on S'stova a ad Nkopolis. Judging from Turk'sh movements in the past, tb*9 would seem to be the out come of the complete t aptu’-e of Schipka, and if this Is the outcome it means a general defeat for the Russins Tney can and doubt'ess will entrench themselves on the Danube bares'. But thirty days or thereabouts to be driven from south of the Ba'kans to an intrenchment at the river means for the Russians an immense loss of men and morale, and for the Tuiks an increase of corfiueace and credit. From Asia Minor Mukhts- Pasha reports another gr t victory over the Persians. The acme of folly was reached by a workingmen’s party iu St Louis Saturday in their declaration tnat labor and capital are now at war, or as they put it, the wealth producing element (themselves) is face to face with the noc p.-cduc’tig element (capitalists). This they ray bas been brought about by the robbery committed by the capitalists, and they, the workingmen, will cover a'l connection'with existing political parlies and units in a work’ogmen’s p?*ty against the common enemy. Id's is a-rant nonsense. A orr dea party can neve* succeed. Par tiro p*e the growth of confiding opinions regarding government. They hold the administration of ah affairs in lhe ;r grasp, not on’y the labor question, but questions of t .riff, taxation, finance, improvements and all the complicated wants of a people in government. What notion has a party formed simply on the one question of declaring commercial war on one class of the community, concerning any of the other questions that appertain to government? It has no notions but conflicting ones and would go to pieces as soon as it undertook one of these questions. The remedy of the workingman ’ eswlthiu the pati’es^ whatever they may be, that cover every point of government. His best friend is the man trained to the business of administration, and not the slop-brained charlatans like Trevellkk who labor only with their jaws, and the commuji’stie sheets which identity workingmen with tramps and thieves, and tell them that the way to get their rights is to take somebody elee’g. K£al workingmen know, or need but a moment’s reflection to become aware, that their interest is everybody’s interest. It is the object of government to give everybo^ as nearly equal chances as possible, and that i' will make taxes low, business j Yiiek and wages good. That is the object of this government iu spite of iho raically lies of the demagogues w ho tell you that nothing bnt corruption exists in the administration, ana that the object of all legislation <s to protect capitalists. That is stutl and nonsense. The powers that be are honest men striving-to the best of their abilities to help the workingman in common with every man, and if the workingmen will throw overboard the qua'ks who are trying to use them ttmy will speed the day when better times will help us all. .AN EDITOR ERRED. lie Iiiault- » Worthy Wonran and Her Exirnda Take atini iu HandIntense Eucltemcul.

THE EASTERN WAR# kcblpkn i*nk* Takea by the Turk*. Dervish Pacba tolegrapb'ng from B’. toum. Friday, claims to have captured a redoubt of Djiargara. One hundred Russians were killed. News comes from three d'fleront sources that the Turks have driven out the Hus sians and now occupy Schipka Pais, after a continuous balile lasUng five days The Rofuans, it is said, have contracted with an engineering firm for the construction of bridgr* aero:s tbs Danube capable of withstanding ice. It is said the Russian troops at Sistova on Tuesday rioted beesnse of tbe bad provisions and threw ICO.OCQ mouldy loaves of bread into tbe Danube. A dispatch dated Erzercam, Saturday, says tbe Ruisians advanced on Kurkarna ar.d Wtzinkay on Friday, but were compelltd to retreat, after five hours fighting, during which sorns of their ammunition wagoi s wero exploded by a Turkish shell. A dispatch from Goustaotinople says a telegram was received there that the Russians lost four thousand killed and wounded in this affair. Mckhtar Paaba telegiupbs from Guedekeler on Saturday ss follows: “We have ga>ned a great vlctogy, having cs'ried the heights ol Kizeltepe during the night and repu'sed three Russian attempts to rotike tbena. Three hundred cannon were biought into aefij.

Rermany Helping-Russia. Prince Bismarck is a watchful though silent observer of every contingency of tbe war. An important servica has lately been rendered ny him to the St. Patsrsburg cabinet in permitting Krupp to sell to Rutiia a number of Cannon originally ordered by the German government, the delivery of which, according to contract, wes shortly due. Most of these cannon, sajs a correspondent of the London Glebe, have been employed in aiming tbe fortmees on the Bailie, the ordnance of which bad been sent to the Danube. A like favor to Rustia is shown by German railway companies, who returned engines lately received to the manufactnrera in order to secure the immediato fufilment of large orders received from St. Petersburg. Subscriptions for the Russian wounded still continue to bs made in Berlin. Reports from the Danube constantly cot firm the practical utility ar l geed service of the ambulanca trains (Hspatched thither by permission of the Prussian goverment. Despite the arnica ble feelings entertained by most Germans toward Russia, a certain pleasure is evinced at the misfortunes lately exp*rienced by tbe Russian «rmy. Shrewd politicians are pleased that Russia has not euccseded in her bcastfal anticipations ol at once crushing Turkey. A Severe View. Tbe London Saturday Review takes a view of the railroad riots fiat will be found very unsatisfactory to the protectionists of 1‘ennsj Ivaaia: “Although tbe railway mutin'ers act on principles which have long prevailed in Philadelphia. it ’can scarcely be supposed that conscience or logic has made cowards of the militiamen of a protectionist state. Tbe chronic conspiracy of producers avainst consumers bas never been more consistently prosecuted than in Pennsylvania. The ralis on which trains have tercporarilv ceased to run, and the engines which are thrown out of work, have probably cost twice their natural pi ces, because the local iron masters have combined to levy a burtheusome tax on tbeir neighbors. Tl"' desire for a profitable monopoly has now descended to the engine-driveis ar.d their assistants, to the gioat inconvenienca of the capitalists whose example they follow, as well as of eorlety at large. The doctitne of selfishness is perhaps pro'ess.d in a simple or more nsked form by trades-unionists than by piofccted manufacturers who contrive to delude others, if not themeslves, by an affectation of patriotism.” lire*.

Elltii.hlltiR AND THE INDIANS. How » C ltlMtMte minor Hold tbe Fori Aaninat a Hand of Sioux—Siege of Cliln-I.unff and bow It waw Halved. IDeadwood (D. T.) Letter.] When Boston Town, in the Black Hills, and about thirty miles from Deadwood, woke up on# morning and found a China man walking around with- his kit on hia shoulder, every old miner was dumbfounded; It bad been g.ven out, and was generally understood, tbat Boston Town wouldn’t wait a minute before shooting the first Chinaman who dared to show his head in camp, and this traveler ought to have been posted. He coolly walked about trying to discover whether the digglugj were rich or poor, and n«lding familiarly tq every mlneriwho showed bis head. It took the camp just four minutes to rea’ize the sitnation, blow the rallying horn, and resolve: That there is one of them durced Chineie in camp, and it is our duly to teach him a great moral lesson. Lung-Sing went out o’ there like a tornado, his sheet iron frying pan banging the back of his head at every jump, and his heels diggirg up a perfect shower of gravel. None of tbe butiets fired at him took effect, and breakfast was hardly A*ten before tbe incident was forgotten. The Chinaman was out there to make a stake. He knew aU about the Indians, but when chased out of Bsston Town he pnehed i.ght ahead over tbe frontier and up the hiile; and when he “attack yellow” he was four miles in advance of any camp. Lung-Sing wasn’t one of your dirt washers or gravel pawers, bnt he struck for qnartz rock, and he kept a loose eye squinting around for nuggets. He baited where he did, because it was far enough from white miners, neer enough to tbe Indians, end the place offered a secure retreat. It was a cave extend'ng into tbe bill or ranges christened Baked Potato. The hole was large enough for tb-ee men to enter abreast, and the cave was set up in curious shape Back twenty feet from its mouth it split into three caves, each winding around in a half circle, anu attar a then time Lung-Sing discovered that each of the three had an outlet on the hill but not within half amiieof each other. “Aile light,” he mused, as he made ready to take possession in the nsme of the Celestial Empire, “alle light; Injun man come in if he wantee, LungSing no flaid.” There wes rich qnariz rock in the cave. In one month after being occupied by a party of six w hite men it panned out $17,cOO. Lung-Sing knew that he had struck a big thirg, and ifis mind wes made up to stey there, Indians or no Indians. In the afternoon of the second day aftor he bs* gan work the Chinaman, wuo was working by torchlight, felt a twist at hii pigtail, and he glanced around to discover an Indian warrior bes ; de him. Some Chinamen would have “played calf at ones,” but Lung-Sing was working for $200 per day. At the second jerk on his queue, he seized his torch and thrust it into the face of his captor. Thfi next instant he was tattling his ranoe-toed shoes down the d* r k parage with a noise like a horse galloping cn a plank sidewalk. When he climbtdouton the hillside and looked down, he saw a score of Ind'tns around the mouth of the cave, and one of them wes hopping about as if he didn't feal well. Lung Sing sat there behind a bash and chuckled and grinned for an hoar, and when tbe redskins deps-tsd he went back to b J s work, aaaely musing: “If Injun manes Ifink I’m diam fool he find outee.” They were certain to come again. He bad no arms but a shot-gun and a hatchet, tut he had come to stay. The idea of Ira dusting oat of that just becauso a few hundred Indians might object to his proper: ce was too abauid to contemplate. He swelcbed a score ol bsrk shinga across tne n outh of tbe cave, and then connected them with a single string runnir;; back to bis work This kst sDiug ran along the reof and over a stone sp'ioter, and held up a stone which must fali to the floor it acy one attempted to d’^placo tha strings acrots the month of the cave. W hen be had finithed this work and satit lied himself that it could be depended on. the beatbrn drew down his left eye, Bianud bis hat over his left sar, and quoted Confucius The redskins weren’t st all pleassd at the way they had been cheated, and next nKrnirg a whole cer lead of them returned to tbe cave.[havingtyrche- t > explore it. When they saw the bark strings acrora tbe mouth they suspected a ’rep and fooled around for two or three hours. Meanwhile Lung Sing was plying hammer and puk, bringing down ninety p?r cent of gold with every ten per cent of stone. He bed struck it rich. ‘Spat!” came the stone which he had fixed up as a signs', bell, and the long-eyed heathen scored for a start and got a wav In fine style. Tne Indians halted in the mouth of the cave to peer srouud end lt<tht rireir torches, and during tbis delay l.uu? Sing wasn’t xtoppitg to pla}- marbles on the flyor of tbe cave. He emerged from tbe same cavity as before, a Jiule damp under the coilar, but in prime coldition. He w/" making his left ej e v.iuk ’cutely at bis right, and figuring up the profits of h s morning's work when he heard the Indiars coming. They d'vided into three herds and followed the three passages. He pot. Instead of making for Byston Town or Meas'cs City, he slid down the mountain side* and entered the cave by the front do'r-r. TheTr diaria hrd brought along almost a wsgott load of dry grata and weeds, etrpeering to have to smoke him out There was a strong draft through the cave, ar,d whrn tts baatben discovered the grass and saw tbat none of the savages remalm d behind, he nearly wrenched himself to pieces to cany out a suddenly conceived plan. In the course of seven cr e^Lt miuu’ea he had carried tbs grass to the point where the cave ep''t. and he choker! each passage as far as the m ttarial would go. Then he pulled out his match t ox and listened and watted. He reasoned that tne Indiras would return by the tame route?, and he was right. Ha heard item in the three passages almost at the san e time, and wi*n the foremost was not more than forty feet away the match wa«lighted. Tbe gra s was like tinder, and the draft drew the rosrim; flames into the passages in an instant. Three grand yells from tbe three hands reached Long-Sing at once, and he put bis finger on his ec te and softly said: “Lung Sing somebody’s flool maybe.” The ndikine got a terrible roMtfrg It besjseen twice stated by members of the ss me btnd that not a savage escaped injury, and it Is certain tbat more than a dozen cooked ard charred bodies were found in the pas^agea weeks afterward by white men. Those who pot out were terribly burned and several died at their village As the red-kins had found no ors in the cave the fire sppralea t j their superstition. They believed the place to be occupied by the spirit of some outlawed warrior; he Md kindled the flames in revenge on them for daring to intrude. None of them bad ever been bse the cave agt in up to six weeks ago. Lung-Sing re arranging his signal, and returned to his work. In the gray of the morcing, six weeks after he had been driven cut of Boston Town, an early riser caught eight of him again He was tottering along at the head of four pack mules and a dozen Chinamen, all loaded down, but he hadn’t tiu:e to stop and explain whether they carried goods to setup an “original dolla. store” In the Hills, or bad the material which yellowboys are made of Tbe miners had their twn ideas about that, and after close
