The Value of real estate in Chicago has declined from $119,338,359, la 1878, to $96,301.159, showing a shrinkage to the amount of $23,037,100. Such facts knock John Sherman's glowing generalities higher than a iite.
The New York Tribune says "Down with State rights is the Republican battle-cry." "Will our neighbor, the Journal, please state what State rights the Republican party intend to overthrow? Gome, neighbor, talk; we have given you a fair chance to be heard
General Ben Harrison, who is expected to take an office at $3,000 a year to play figure-head for the Sherman boom, is still deliberating. We can ' conceive of no position more degrading. A man must ba starving for office who would accept an office for auch a purpose. . ; -
The "Old Dominion" has commenced arrangements for a grand celebration of the hundredth anniversary of tne surrender of Cornwallis, which took place oa the 19 :h of October, 1731. A big time ia anticipated, and allot the "Old Thirteen" Will contribute to give eclat to the occasion, '
Tee estimate is that fully 25, C00 people have left Memphis, and that before the exodus ceases not more than 10,000 inhabitants will be left in the city to fight the yellow fever and take the chances of life and death. People of wealth have fled, leaving their possessions at the mercy of those who remain, and the colored military of the city is their only protection against thieves and burglars. ",
Democrats talk a great deal about the "dangers of centralization," by which they mean the danger ot concentrating power In tne general Government, Republicans do not fear this. Journal. No, not much. Republicans like it. They prefer bayonets to billots. They are deeply in love with test oaths and of cou ts organized to convict Democrats while permitting Republican miscreants ta go free. Republicans want an army of daputy marshals) made up of thieves, dead beats, plugaglies, shoulder-hitters and b&gaio pimps to arrest citizens;, a la Davenport, without warrant. Indeed, the Republicans hanker after "centralization." '
bright silver dollars these pensioners would gladly accept them and put them in circulation among a people willing to take them." The fact is, that Sherman has tried his best to nullify the laws of Congress in the interest of Sbylocks, and his talk about not being able to pay out silver is a bold deception. The people are willing to take silver, and, as the Tribune remarks, "the secretary has to pay out perhaps $100,000,000 a year for salaries, and,' if these gentlemen who receive this sum refuse to take silver dollars, he could, by inserting a brief advertisement in the papers, find as many competent per
sons in Maine, or even in Ohio, willing to take their places, and at the same time take their salaries in silver dollars. Let him inquire in Maine if there are not persona there who will take office, the pay being in silver
dollars. The fact is, that this talk, about not
being able to get the silver ia circulation is pure nonsense. The secretary has $135,000,-
000 in gold in the treasury, and aa fast as he
pays it out it comes back again. So with silver and so with greenbacks. The secre
tary, from first to last, has endeavored to
degrade the silver dollar, and his refusal to use it can hardly deceive any person into
the belief that nobody will take it" With such a showing aa this the public will be prepared to conclude that John Sherman ia aa much of a fraud now as he was when in Louisiana he bartered Federal offices for perjury that he might make Hayes president and himself secretary of the treasury. The Tribune ought to get out of such company.
Xew York has a legislative committee en
-eased in unraveling the mysteries of rail
road transportation in that State, and the probabilities are that valuable additions will be made to the sum total of information upon the subject. A writer in the New York Tribune remarks that "railroad ' managers
say that the amount of capital has nothing
to do with rates for transportation. If this is so, why did Mr. Vanderbilt. inflate his stock $47,000,000 in 1867 and 185S, upon which watered stock dividends have since been de
clared, amounting with interest, to over
$50,000,000? Suppose that instead of watering his stock, Mr. Yauderbilt had reduced his rates for transportation until they;yielded the legal 10 per cent., would not the public have had their transportation cheaper, and been benefited to precisely that extent?
The truth of the business is, taxation for transportation ' dwarfs all other forms of taxation ; it levies a first tax upon all that
we eat, drink, or wear, -and, unlike , some other forms of taxation, it falls heaviest . upon the poorer classes.:-. Every ton of coal or barrel oi flour pays its tax before it reaches the consumer; and railroad managers wield a far greater power to tax than does the Legislature. It is therefore of the greatest importance that the 'obligations' of railroads should be denned. After they realize 10 per cent profit, the public are entitled to their share, in the shape of reductions in rates. How the roads are managed deeply concerns all classes of citizens. As stated in the address made by the committee of the Chamber of Commerce to the Legislative committee, upon the thoroughness of your f investigation depends, in a great measure, the commercial and industrial welfare of the entire community. It is hardly possible to imagine a subject of greater importance, or one which affords wider scope for patient, statesmanlike investigation. Let' us hope that sufficient time will be taken to make
the investigation comprehensive and thor
ough, and the report of the committee a valuable contribution . to the history of the
. State.".. Manifestly this thing of watering stocks is a matter of the grossest injustice to - the public, since it results in advancing the
' rates of transportation. - It is time that the
' whole subject was thoroughly understood
by the people and a system of fair dealing
inaugurated.
Uafreed.;ThealvaUon of, lha country" depends upon the success of the Democratic party. The welfare of society demands that Republicanism shall be exiled. The Federal courts need purifying. The outlook ia
encouraging. The Democratic party is steadily tramping on to supreme power.'
The Chicago Tribune is an organ ef Re' publican conspirators. It Uvea in Republi
can slime. Is applauds Republicau rascality
generally. It is loyal to the machine. It
.indorses, without grimace, Republican
acoundrelism. It hoes its row in the Re
"- publican fields of fraud and spoliation. It
wants bayonets at the polls, test oaths and
. a debauched, subsidized and corrupt judi
ciary. It favors deputy marshals to aneat
Democrats, and sees no wrong in" Louisiana
' returning boards. But the Tribune is a Bilver
dollar organ, nevertheless, and does not hes
Vlfate to pronounce Zach Chandler a liar and
John Sherman a fraud. The Tribune digs
- out a paragraph from Sherman's Portland
speech, as follows: .
We have tried the experiment of coining the silver dollar ince it wax authorized in 187S.
. and nave coined $.3,S01,OJO. Every eflort has .been made to put it la circulation without
forcing it upon unwilling persons, but tne
. treasury department has only been able to is - rae (13,359,912, of which 16,518,912 have been re
turned to me treasury. ...
In commenting upon ' the foregoing the
Tribune remarks that "Sherman has a mo
nopoly of the coin and locks it up," and
then adds that "Sherman bai in the course
of the year to 'pay' out $300,000,000. This
he can do in gold, silver, or paper. When
lie issues the paper he does not 'pay the debt, he simply gives the creditor an order on the next window for the money. When - he gives out coin, then the debt is paid, and that is the end of the entire ' matter. There are $30,000,000 annually 1 paid out in small sums of $20 to $50 to pensioners. This money is not needed for hoarding, but is at once used . by pensioners ; to pay .board ' or small bills, or to make small purchases, If the secretary would pay out the clean,
CKIMS AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Journal, one of the organs of Republican conspirators, which has .contributed its mite in defending the infamous record of the Republican party, has waked up ' at last to the fact that "crime is on the increase." The Journal in its analysis of the subject concludes that war is demoralizing, but as it is 14 years since the war closed, the Journal concludes that the country has outgrown its demoralizing influences, from the fact, according to the Journal, that most of the crimes now committed are by "persons who
were mere boys .or youths" during the
period of the war, and adds: Crime of all kinds is increasing everywhere,
No newspaper can begin to publish even short
accounts of the daily crimes, and many of
them are of such a character that no consclen.
tlous and reputable newspaper wants to pub
Ush them. They occur by day and by night
crimes of greed, of Inst, of vengeance, of whisky, of sudden passion, of commercial dis
honor; In short, crimes of every name and grade. What is the reason, and what is to be
done?
It should be understood that under Republican rule crime has increased more than 100 per cent. All the penitentiaries are full to overflowing,jalls are full, and
reformatory Institutions are full, the courts are overrun with criminal cases, and still
there are thousands at large who deserve hanging or imprisonment. From the day
the Republican party came into , power
crime began to increase. The Republican
party started out upon the proposition that
the constitution wss a "league with hell,"
and Seward taught the people that there was
a "higher law" than constitution and stat
utes. No sooner had the Republican
party obtained full control of every department of the Government than stealing became the rule, and honesty the exception in the management of affairs.
To such colossal proportions did these pecu
lations and frauds expand, that a ; Republi
can member of Congress, after a careful in
vestigation of the subject, placed the stealings of Republican officers at $100,000,000 a year. JGrant took bribes, and his cabinet officials plundered the Government right and left. ' Belknap robbed the army. Robe
son plundered the navy. Laundelet Williams
debauched justice and rioted in his ill-gotten
gains; Boss Shepherd, a favorite ot Grant,
played freebooter in Washington,: ..while Babcock aided the whisky ring. Laws were
enacted to protect villains, and
the supreme court of the country
was organized in the interest of the party in
power. Crime flourished at the capital and
in the capitol in the White House, and all
the palatial buildings of the various depart
mnnfR nf the Government. The fountains o
honesty were'polluted, and the streams of crime flowed out from the center to the re
motest outposts of the Government. - Not content with this, the Republican rascals
organized a Freedmen's Savings 1 bank, de
coy ed the poor enfranchised black into the
snare, and deliberately robbed him of his little savings of, his all. fender the guise of friendship' they perpetrated
thefts ,; that : ' have S no m; j parallel in
the ' records of - civilization.; It was
an era of crime, a carnival of iniquity. Not
content with robbing the "Federal treasury,
of stealing from the soldiers and the Indians, aad taking the last dime from the negro.
the Republican party sent its army of carpet-baggers into the Southern States, fully
equipped for piracy upon a gigantic scale.
Indorsed by the administration, protected
by the armyj whitewashed by a venal parti
san press, and declared - upright Dy. a de
bauched judiciary, the. ..South, ' with its remaining treasures, was offered to them as a field for operations, and they' took possession. Towns, cities and States ware bankrupted m r short ' order. There , was 'no redress, no appeal." ; A protest was disloyalty, and a suit . in court , was adjudged treason. Stealing was in order, robbing an every day occurrence. The very air was impregnated with crime. To perpetuate this reign of wickedness, constitutions were over turned, Legislatures were bayoneted, elec tions were made a - farce, and, finally, to roundoff! the record, we see such men as John Sherman in Louisiana bargaining for perjury, and offering Federal offices in exchange for auch lies as would secure the triumph of his party; and even now, the
country is payiDg out thousands ef dollars annually to a set of the vilest villains the
country ever produced ' as ' rewards for crimes. These ' are the i reasons wby
crime '; baa - - bo.- feaiuliy - increased
during ; y the - last 11 years. To put a stop to it is to put an end toRepub
lican control - of Governmental affairs, and
this is what the people have been doing dur
ing the past seven years. The Republican
party, but for its frauds, would now be out
of power in every department of the " Gov
ernment' But frauds will not avail it in the future. -' The reign of Republicanism will
' INTEREST TO POLICY-HOLDERS. -Nothing has done more during late years
to remove distrust and establish public confidence in life insurance companies U an the disposition shown by a few of the '.roneest institutions to amend their methods of doing business. - Many needed reforms have been introduced, some of them radical and prac
tical, and others mere shams put forth to
eatch the unwary. Concessions in matters of detail are not sufficient; the people want
essential improvements in the system. The
evils most complained of have been the failure to specify in . life . policies a definite surrender value, and the refusal of companies
to pay death lotsea without recourse to the
courts. But one company the Equitable
Life Assurance society seems to have caught
the right spirit, and has lately introduced
into its business features which can not fail
to meet with public approval. It makes all its policies incontestable after having been three years in force, thus closing the door to litigation. Another concession, and one quite aa important, is, that each policy shall contain upon its face a provision for a definite surrender value, in case the policy ia forfeited after three years from its date. This gives to the policy-holder a guarantee against absolute loss, in case his policy is not kept alive by the continued payment of premiums. It is not unlikely that public opinion will compel the other great life companies to adopt a similar liberal course, for - these reforms are much needed, and commend . themselves . to the favor of all policy-holders. The action of the fcquitable
is an interesting illustration of the fact that the life' insurance business in this country
is gradually being "be tter understood by tha people, as well as by the companies, and that the system is becoming more perfect with the progress of time.
GENERAL NOTES.
" In 1878 a company organized at Davenport tilled the Davenport and Black Hills Mining company, composed of 12 residents of the first named place, who put in 81,000 each and bought a claim at Leadville, in the Dead wood district. Last week Mr. James B. Hoggin, a San Francisco millionaire, bought them out, paying (112,000, or 19,000 to each stockholder. A youno woman of Newtork,,Vt,., was tarred and ragged the other day by five other young women. The cause of this particular attention toward the first named female is alleged immoral conduct on her part. The rags were substituted for feathers, though the featheis are promised in future unless she changes her habits. ' Bombay, with a population of 650,000 and an average to the square mile exceeding Lon Ion, ia the second city in the British Empire in point of numbers. The average death r ite for the past five years has been about the fame as London. The people are tall, thin and stately in appearance, with fine, ' Intelligent eyesThe city stands on an island, Joined by an embankment to the mainland. 1 ' The prince imperial's saddle, with the hoi
sters torn away, has been brought to Chiselhurst and carefully examined. "An English
man, Lord Gerard, says that the young
Frenchman wasa nimble horseman, and tells
how one day, when riding with him in the country, the prince sprang up ' and stood on bis saddle, and thence vaulted into a tree trader which they were passing. . .
Ins reports of 14 horse car companies in.
Philadelphia, all paying dividends, show tbat
the average cost of carrying each passenger is
a little over three and one half cents. As the
companies get at least five cents from each
passenger, and often six where a single pass
age is bought Instead of a package of tickets the fact that thedlvidends of these companies
have been kept up through the hard times not at all astonishing. ...
A poet actually soaring in the clouds Is a sight that would have made all Parts turn their faces heavenward had they only been
aware of the phenomenon. However, on July 5, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Victor Hugo,
accompanied by his family and suite of 25 friends and acquaintances, ascended in the
captive balloon to the full extent of the cable.
The illustrious poet will, of course, write
stanza on the subject, and probably a letter to the proprietor of the balloon. . . The London Lancet, commenting on the near approach of the abolitlou of the "cat" In . the army, recalls the fact that its founder, Mr, Thomas Wakley, formerly M. P. for Finsbnry, was the ' first who seriously questioned the practice in the celebrated, Hounslow case. It should not be forgotten, however, that It was for denouncing the Inhuman flogging of militiamen at Ely that William Cobbett, la 1810, was condemned to two years' imprisonment In Newgate and a fine of 1,003. ' ' Thi mercantile failures in England during the first half of 1879 numbered 8,900. During
the whole of 1878 the failures numbered 15.850,
and during 1877, 11,022. Commenting on the reports of these failures, the London Times
Kays that in two chief Industries there are
signs that the suffering has been severe. The failures in the cotton and in the Iron trades during the past six months have been In
excess of their due proportion. In both ot
them failures for 1878 were more numerous
than for 1877. In spite of these clearances the failures for 1879 have been more numerous still.
Ms. Jebb Haralson, an Intelligent colored
man, who was formerly a congressman irom
Alabama, declares that the negro exodus has hardly begun yet, and predicts that It will start anew this fall with a wholesale sweep
not dreamed of. He says-that no less than 15,000 blacks will leave the First district of Alabama alone. The negroes are infatuated
with the idea of going, and nothing will stop them. He is not In favor of the movement, but be finds It entirely useless to argue against it. He thinks there are enough negroes in Kansas now, and favors some of them going
tOjSouthern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
A Hartford correspondent says Cornelius
Vanderbilt has been settling some of his old
debts in that region. Several years ago Van
derbilt invited the whole Connecticut Legisla
ture to a big supper at his house on Vander
bllt Hill. Among the guests was Mr. Bacon, then a member from Mlddletown.' Early
next morning Mr. Vandeibilt accosted him in
the street with, "By the way, Bacon, have you
$300 about youT I want to pay the caterer here, and haven't a check about me, but will repay you to-morrow." ' Mr. Bacon at once
loaned Uie money to pay for the supper in
which he had shared, but Oorneel'a "to-mor

Aooordiwo to the census of 1870, the total valuation of real and personal property in
the United Btates was over $30,000,000,000,
Increase of $14,000,000 on the census of 1860. The
census of 1880 will, it Is believed, show a total
value oftaearly (50,000,000,000. Rece nt writers In
French writer elalaas the widest margin for Inaccuracy In these estimates, It la plainly evident that the United Btates is already entitled to the front rank, If not the first place, among the, nations in actual wealth, while it ia but Just .en taring upon the most rapid development of Its resources.,, ( ,.r,M ..--,,) . On returning in a gala carriage, from her husband's first military review,, at: Long-

Soon after the untoward incident Marshal and Mme, MacMahon rode by, and, seeing the state of affairs, were looking around for Mme, and Mile. Orevy, who had gone on. The world In general would have reckoned it a not un pleasing sight to see the wife of the president of the French Republic picked up in dlsttesa on her return from her husband's first military review, and cond noted to a place of safety by the gallant old ex-president and marshal. Mr. Crosby, United States consul at Florence, Italy, In a dispatch to the department of state, reports tbat a successful trial of anthracite coal has been made id Italian looomoUves. - One company has ordered 20,000 tons from the Philadelphia and Reading company. The United Btates consul at Naples has Just reported a favorable experiment In the use of American coal in smelting furnaces in tbat city. The locomotive from this oountry, exhibited at the Paris exposition, was recently sent to Milan for trial, having been refused at Florence. Great opposition is made to it by Belgian and English makers of locomotives. There Is now a prospect that it may have a trial. A son of Louts Kossuth Is the chief engineer of one of the roads, and is in favor of the American locomotive. Thb Oldhams and Belts live in Hardin county, Illinois, and rival each other in wickedness. There has long been a feud between the families, and a year ago It broke out Into bloody hostilities. A Belt was killed by an
Oldham in consequence of a quarrel about a
woman, and after that hostilities were open
and fierce. Logan Belt, the leader of the Belt
faction, killed Dorrls Oldham soon afterward, for revenge. It was not long before Logan
Belt's nephew was killed in a drunken brawl
by a man whose wife was an Oldham. The next homicide was that of "Doe."' Oldham by
Logan Belt, at an Oldham iamily party, into which some of the Belts Intruded In order to force a fight. Although Justice is very sleepy
in Hardin county, four murders within a few months aroused the grand jury to action, and
Logan Belt was Indicted. Several witnesses against Belt have been fired at, one losing a
finger; and a badly aimed shot, presumably
fired at an Oldham, seriously wounded a Belt,
who was standing close by. The trial of Logan
Belt has been commenced, and the evidence
already shows the existence of a tec ret society
among the Belts, formed for the extermination
of the Oldhams.

The Democratic ehoic for twi'mor seems
to lie pretty surely between Hob. Franklin. Landers and Lieutenant Governor Gray. Both are good men, but our preference, a.? is that of nine-tenths of the party in this section, is for the first named geotleman. Mr. Landen deserves well ot the Democratic party He
has always been a consistent and stamen defender of what we believe to ba th true principle of ' aelf-coverament. He was

He had pledged himself to his coosutuenta fdefend wbat they Justly believed to be thoiscommon interests, and though he was almost alone among his party friends in Congress on the financial question, though he knew his negative vote would not atfect the result, he unflinchingly east It againnt the overwhelm leg majority of him party. For tbls the New Albany Ledger-Standard refuses to forgive bim. But the -devotion to principle which prompted tbls act ot heroism ought rather to challenge the admiration of bub-minded men than to call forth from them vituperation and abuse. Mr. Landers promised bis people to do certain things. He redeemed those promises when It seemed political suicide to do so; and It is impost-lble to point to a single instance in bU whole career wherein he has betrayed a single trust reposed In him. For these reasons we unqualifiedly pronounce in favor of Frank Landers for tbe next governor of Indiana, The Democrat ia mistaken in one very important particular of tbe foregoing. Mr. Landers did not vote against Mr. Kerr for speaker of the House. That ia a little romance of the Ledger-Standard.

There is hardly a day passes over his head tbat he does not libel some one, and yet he Is second on the list of arrant cowards who have taken advantage of the infamous Grubbs libel law. Jf it is possible for the G nbbs act to reach "Jayhawker" we hope now that those whom his pen defames will not be slow about bring
Inn tbe eag Into service. A turning of the
tables in his case would be in strict conformity
with the most refined poetic justice.

Tbe Boonville Enquirer says: What's the matter? Within two days after
the Indianapolis Sentinel said that Benoni S.
Fuller would be the Democratic nominee for
Congress, every Radical paper In the district opened its mud batteries and turned them on Mr. Fuller. They know to their sorrow Fuller
Is invulnerable with the people; that be did beat Hell man in 1874, and can do it again.
We simply published a communication
from a friend of Mr. Fuller's regarding his candidacy for Congress. We bad no other
intormation. The isonuirer says also in its
last issue:
The Indianapolis Sentinel says the report
lias leaked out that utile Benny uarrison nas vice presidential aspirations. Benny bad
gubernatorial aspirations also In l7tf, but It remained for Blue Jeans Williams to sit down
on him. And Blue "sot."
The Muncie Observer continues to "whale
away" at wbat it calls "tne Indianapolis ring." There is no "ring" here, but there are a few wide-awake, earnest Democrats
hereabouts, who have checkmated for years
one of the smoothest!and most rascally gangs of Republicans in tbe country, who would
have continued "to count" Indiana lor tne
Republican ticket until the crack of doom, notwithstanding the square Democratic majority in tbe State. Why, Mr. Hendricks
was elected governor two or inree times De-
fore he succeeded in getting his seat once. Delaware county needs just auch "a ring,1
Mr. Observer, and has needed it lor years;
so get one up "p. d. q." and whittle down
that heavy majority against you. w e are in
earnest. We will have enough to do within
the coming 12 months, and so don't let
us 'fritter away any strength quarreling
among ourselves. Shake!

We are inclined to think the gentleman ney Dtteases or Dropsy,
made a great success of his undertaking. The Benton Democrat says: J When Andy Johnson was president the Republicans declared that Congress was supreme that it was the Government, and tbat Ike president was merely an executive oflioer, as the UUe executive declares. Now, according to tbe same authority, Hayes, who simply ooouples tbe executive mansion, is the Government and that Congress Is of no account. They should at least try to be consistent, if they can not be anything else. The Plymouth Democrat tells of an old settler of Marshall county who ia something of a curiosity in this beer and wine-drinking age. The Democrat says: ' An bid gentleman In the nineties, whose name we did not team, attended the old settlers' meeting Saturday, and related to a bevy of bystanders some of his experience In
early times. He stated that he hadn t drank a drop of spirituous liquors for 70 years. In the days when the name of La Fayette was a
