A CONTRIBUTOR to one of our ex_changes takes occasion to remark that 'athe recent strik?. has had one good effect, at least,fo wit: It has waked up railroad managers and the balance of mankind to the fact that the laboring "classes are a power in the land which arrogant railroad officials would do well to respect and not trample on them too much, or they may rise up and destroy them. Correct. =

UNDER the leadership of Blanton Duncan, leader of the O’Connor movement in 1872, the workingmen’s party achieved a decisive victory in Louisville at the recent -election. They elected five of the seven representa. tives to the State Legislature. Encouraged by this remarkable achievement—(the new party had been organized but a few days prior to:the elec tion)—the working men of Columbus, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and New York have taken’steps to extend the organization wherever elections will be held this Fall. '

BEN' BUTLER is likely to be made the. champion of the workingmen’s party in the next Congress. = Ben has given unmistakable signs of his readiness to serve in that capacity, and it is not improbable that he may cut a very important figure in the future politics of the country. Benis wealthy, but, has always manifested a good deal of kindness toward the laboring men of the land. If he exerts his influence in a proper way he may be able to: prevent a good deal of foolishness into which the new organization is likely to be led by impracticable theorists and visiomary communists.

~ SENATOR MORTON is on the sick list. He arrived at his home in Indianapolis on Monday night, but immediately proceeded to Richmond, "Ind., where, as the Journal states, “he will remain until there is an improvement in his health, e was taken quite seriously ill about the time he left Sacramento for home, and has sufféred greatly ‘all the way through.— The exact character of his affliction is not given, but it is understood to result from indigestion, which, with | the fatigue from work and travel, has ““resulted in serious nervous prostration.” Paralysis, latest reports say.

* IsN't it & little singular that, with the solitary exception of Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, none of our eminent statesmen and politicians ‘have ventured to express an opinion relative tothe adjustment of the labor troubles that so recently attracted the attention of the entire country ? When, aifew months ago, a riotous disturbance occurred in one of the counties ‘of Mississippt, any number of public . men ¢ould be found with ready opin{ons and “cut and dried” measures to _meet the case; but the great ‘labor strike, extending over more than a half dozen of the most populous States, is apparently ignored by these gentlemen of “eminence and renown.” No suggestions, no propositions to remedy existing evils have emanated from that source. 'Why this reticense, this inexplicable silence? Are they afraid to grabble with the guestion, or ik it a lack of capacity that seals their otherwise active lips? = ot

THE LEADING EDITOR of an influential daily newspaper in Philadelphia was one of the' principal speakers at & meeting of workingmen held in that city on Monday last for the organization of a new party. He is said to ‘have cjit a remarkable figre, both by , reason of the inflammatory character - of his speeches and by the selection of _ his dress with an evident view to the dramatic effect of his words.

The Republicans of Maine held their State gqnveintion last Thursday, with ‘a large attendance. Gov. Connor was renominated without opposition. The .interest ‘of the occasion centered in the attitude theé convention would -assume toward Hayes’ administration. ‘The proceedings indicate a state of l feeling somewhat similar to that manifested by the lowa Republicans—about alf an’ ’alf. Ex-Governor Chamberlain (mot the one recently of South Carolina) - introduced a resolution -warmly and unequivocally éndorsing President Hayes, while a member of the Morrill family introduced one declaring that Packard and Chamberlain ‘were entitled to the support of the national government as Governors ‘of Louisiana and South Carolina respectively. The introduction of these conflicting resdlu‘tions created a tempest in the convention, and afforded the general manager, Jim Blaine, an opportunity to appear in the role of peace‘maker. He moved that both resolutions: be laid upon the table, which motion finally prevailed and peace was secured. The platf’or-rg is of the regular blood and thunder order, full of sectional. hatred, and is evidently the production of the demagogue Blaine Though successful 'in shaping the platform, itis very apparént that there are a good.many Republicans in Maine who are not blind worshipers at .the shrine of Blaine. * = :

JUDGE HOLMAN,

¢ I hadithe pleasure of meeting the Hon. W.. S. Holman, (the watch dog of the U.S. Treasury), while at the Indian Springs last week. Mr. Holman and his wife and sister have been rusticating at that pleasant summer resort for over a fortnight, cut off from returning home by.the strike. Mr. Holman depreecates anything like mob violence, yet he is the advocate of the laborihg man as against bondocrats and railread monopolies, and the sympathies of every Democratic heart in the land is with the oppressed laborer in their struggle against bloated capital. Not in s’gmpathy with mobs or riotous conduct; or the destruction of life-and property, but to force, in a peaceable way, capital to divide the profits 'with labor, go that the wives and children of the employes will not suffer for bread. ; - Thus writes a correspondent of the Daviess County Democrat. The valuable services of Mr. Holman are now universally admitted, and his absence from the next session of Congress will be sorely felt and regretfully deplored by many who, in their partisan blindness, either contributed to or rejoiced over his defeat. Tom Browne, who beat Judge Holman, will be recognized as a clever fellow, but when it comes to filling the latter’s seat in the true sense of the word, he will be found sadly and lamentably out of place. a

e A BASE CALUMNY, . Every Democrat is- not a rebel, but every rebel is a Democrat. The majority of the Democratic partyis made up from the rebel .ranks, and it is a very small proportion of the party that is opposed to revolutionary measurgs.f There are some honest and respectable men in the Democratic ranks, but whenever a Democratic leader is convicted of these he very promptly receives the cold shoulder.—lndianavolis Journal. ; ; 5

We .can hardly conceive what object the Journal can have in giving, publicity to such a mendacious falsehood, at this time. It requires a doubledistilled liar to asseverate that “every rebel is a Democrat” and that “the majority of the democratic party is made up from the rebel ranks.” Any number of men who had never voted a democratic ticket in their lives joined the rebellion, and an overwhelming majority of tliose who now constitute the -democratic party is as innocent of the charge of being identified with the rebellion as the.Jowrnal man possibly can be. That paper ought to be heartily \ashamed of its ill-natured and unmanly fling at a party which on the popular vote is by a quarter of a million in the majority.

THE BANNER fully subscribes to the following from last week’s South Bend - Tribune: “Some vyery foolish people are inquiring the propriety of having the entire railway system of the country turned over to the general government. If these wiseacres will sit down and carefully and prayerfully. seek to comprehend the nature of their proposition, they will perceive that anything more daugerous to the peace and welfare of the country ecould not possibly aceur. No civil authority would be able to control the one hundred thousand miles of railway in this country, with its five hundred thousand employes, and consequently its government would have to be a military one.”

- JonNSHOEMAKER, of Marshall county, who has recently been in Cincinnati, tells the editors of the Plymouth Democrat that “ we know nothing of hard times here, compared with that which oppresses poor people in large cities. An_finstance came under his notice of a laboring man working hard all day for fifty cents, and in the evening paying out forty of the amount for a peck of potatoes.” Yet there are those who speak lightly of the condition of poor laborers. = :

EpITOR: — A few words from our side of “the father of, waters” again, if you please. = - Everybody here is in good health at present, so far as we"knw; ‘but afew weeks ago the city of Great Bend was visited with scarlet fever, which carried off a great many small children. The season, in this part of Kansas, has been a very: propiticus one for farming inferests, and we have splendid erops of allkinds, = = 1 ‘Wheat threshing is now in progress, and the yield generally is above the expectations of farmers, Whole crops average as high as 87 bushels per acre, and the lowest heard from is an average of 15 bushels. One muan showed us a sample of very fine wheat the other day, and stated that he had an average yield of 50 bushels per acre from a field of seven acres. “ This individual ”, raised oats 67 inches high as it stood, with heads 16 inches long; and timothy 4 feet high, with heads 1014 inches in Tength.

Corn has made an enormious growth of stalk, and is now rapidly and heayily earing, and with the help of the rain now falling will certainly fill out well. - R .

One of our business men invited a woman, who had loitered around his store, to vacate his premises, but she refused to “git” On the contrary, she squared hegself on a chair, and begun to vituperate and, to vociferate as few women would /do. She had only been leaning over the counter and talking for an hour or two to another feliow, and did not feel a bit out of place, and could not afford to leave for nothing. oy

Mg. EplToß:—The above appeared in last week’s Kendallville Standard, and contfains about as much untruth as could well be crowded into such an amounf of space. In the first place the “woman” referred to did not'lean over the counter and talk to “another fellow” for an hour or two; the utmost length of time spent in the store at_the fime indicated not. exceeding half an hour. Secondly, she was in company with a lady friend, awaiting the arrival of a team which was to take the latter to the country. Thirdly, the “woman” in question deﬁorted herself in_a lady-like ‘manner,;interfering with no one. Fourthly, she is not the kind of a “woman” which the paragraph above quoted would have her appear, being respectably connected and enjoying the esteem of those who best know her. That her indignation was aroused upon being rudely. accosted, and that she sharply resented the indignity offered her by the “business man” referred to, is not at all surprising nor discreditable. It would require a very meek spirit, indeed, to accept insult and indignity without proper resentment. = ~ ONE WHO KNOWS.

DANA, of the N. Y. Sun, not only protests against an increase of the regular army, but insists upon a further reduction. In a recent issue he says: “Taxation is now a grievous load to carry, but taxes to maintain the army at its present maximum of 25,000 men, or to augment it, would raise a storm of indignation which could not be easily subdued. Labor is heavily weighted and; can. bear no more. The House of Representatives should not be diverted from the path hitherto pursued, which is the enly safe road out of our troubles.. Econo‘my must go on until the public burdens are diminished, and the laboring man has a chance to be something else than a hewer o}f wood and a drawer of water.” . " M

‘The resumption plan of Secretary Sherman i 8 to lock up gold at therate of ﬁ'veﬁnill'ions per month until the 18t of January, 1879. He would then have 150 millions in the treasury upon which to float 660 millions of paper money. If he should .carry out this plan, the premium on gold will, meantime, largely advance, and thus the conditions will be the opposite to those necessary to successful resumption.— Cincinnati Gazelte. s

It is strange that this man Sherman is permitted to carry on his heartless contraction scheme; that the business men -of the country do not rise en masse to demand his removal from the Secretaryship ‘of the Treasury. His course is simply abominable. -

~lf the workingmen desire to accomphish anything by public meetings and co-operative action, they should see to it that demagogues and communists take back seats. They have generally forced themselyes to the front, and destroyed the influence of all laudable movements of workingmen for bettering their, condition.—lndianapolis Journal. Siine ( y 4

Very good advice. The only mis-| giving we have about it is that the: Journal may be a trifle too extravagant in accusing men of demagoguery. It has a faculty of crying “demagogue” at everybody that doesn’t see things as the Journgl sees them,

It is said that the President, in his annual address to Congress, will recommend an increase of the regular army to 50,000 men.—ZEa. .

.~ Morton’s Serious Iliness. T'aesday’s Indianapolis Journal, 2 ' Senator Morton passéd through the city yesterday evening on his way to Richmond. He was accompanied by his family, and his physician, Dr. Thompson, who will remain with him until there is an Improvement in his health. The Senator’s sickness is quite as serious as it was reported in yesterday’s Journal. The whole difficulty is, no doubt, the result of over-. exertions, but there were serious apprehensions at one time that he would not get home alive. His left arm is paralyzed, bul the physicians think only temporarily, = There is no symptom of paralysis in his face, and his mind has been clear and strong from the first. His condition was bettew and more encouraging . yesterday than on the day before. Dr. Thompson thinks that with a few days’ rest he will be restored, and that in time he will recover the use of his arm. If his arm continues paralyzed, it will render him helpless, as he has only been able to walk by reason of the great strength in his arms, with which he supported himself upon canes. The Senator will not, for the present, be permitted to see anyone except his family. We sincerely trust the doctor’s hopes may be realized as to his speedy recovery. . ANDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 14.—The condition of Senator Morton, though serious, is not so critical as reported. Col. Holloway, who left his bedside early this morning, says his left arm is slightly, and his physician ghinks only. temporarily, paralyzed, but*his. general health 18- unimpaired, and he is confident of speedy recovery. 5

Sherman’s NStumping Tour in Ohio. g W ASHINGTON, August 10.—The announcement that Secretary Sherman proposes to make a campaign speech in Ohio has cost the Administration a good deal of thinking. A He can’t very well be dismissed, yet under the famous order he has no business to take a hand in politics and make the speech. Schurz said to-day that it must be understood that Sherman was going to talk finance and not politics. An explanation of his own policy and financial attitude of the Administration 'was a proper, not to say praiseworthy step; but it must be divested of all political relations. Political and party questions, as such, the members of the Cabinet would not in the future discuss; but an explanation or a defence of the methods and principles upon which they eonducted the p&lblic business would always be in order. Any coincidence in the speeches, with an excited campaign turning upon the same issues, must apparently be re garded as one of those fortuitous accidents against which no precise rules for the reform of the civil service can guard. It will be&ticed that Schurz appears to have ised a novel constitutional responsibility on the part of Cabinet. Ministers directly to 'the people for the advice they give and the way they administer offices.

~ SENATOR CONKLING, on his return from Europe last Friday, was honored by a serenade, in response to which he made a happy little speech in the course of which he remarked : :

Never before was I so proud of my country and my countrymen, or so content with them. Mindful of much courtesy and hospitality abroad, I was amazed to find so little to envy or to wish to see transplanted to our land. Great Britain has, of course, the accumulated results of many generations. She has had eight centuries of Parlia‘ments and of power, and she has faken tribute from: half the world. Time and entailed estates have piled up colossal wealth, individual, family and aggregate. ~ Bubf in civilization, in liberty, in general intelligence, in actual progress, and, above all, in the promise of the future, America, young as she is, need not shrink from a comparison. . In public conveniences and methods of nearly every kind we are far in advance. English hotels would seem sadly behind the times here; indeed they would notbe endured. Telegraphic service is inferior to ours. Railway service in general is destitute of facilities, comforts and conveniences which here are matters of course everywhere; and the fares would sound extravagant indeed among us.

WAKE Up.—These remarks by an exchange are timely and to the point: “Either run your town with vim, or just get up and leave it. Men who are always waiting for a chance to get out of bu siness, or out of town, will never try to do either. One or two things should be done; push things, find or make a way to put some ‘go’ into the business, run the town for all that is in it, get up steam and keep it up, or else quit the whole thing, vamouse the ranche, slide out and let nature have her way. Do you want trade? Bid for it. Do you want business men to come toyour town? Encourage those who do come. Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to work with fear and trembling, but take it for granted that all work will tell. Leave results with themselves, borrow no trouble, but all ;mi!:,e and have the biggest kind of a ry.

The wheat crop on Terre Coupee, 80 far as we can ascertain, has been an unusual yield this season. Henry Carr, south of here, claims 35 bushels to the acre; the Rush Brothers put some of their crop down at 4514, but William Shimp beats ’em all. He had forty acres’of Fultz that “panned out” 88 bushels. He had seventy-fiye acres that will yield him something over two thousand bushels. If any one can beat that he would like to hear from them.—SBouth Bend Tribune.

Come up here and be accommodated. We'll introduce you to Messrs, Uriah Francisco, Matthias Marker. John L. Cavin and G. W. Leming who can a tale unfold that sets the Terre Coupee exhibit clear in the shade.

. Severe Fight with Indians, - General Gibbon had a battle with the Indians on the 9th inst. which, from the meager accounts receiyed, must'have been one of the most desperate Indian fights on record. Out of 182 men about one-half were killed or wounded. Several officers were killed and General Gibbon himself was wounded. The Indians are said | to have suffered severely, but the dispatches indicate that General Gibbon’s command was worsted in the conflict. His attack on the Indian camp wasrepulsed with heavy loss, and the Indians in turn became the attacking party, forcing the soldiers to take up a defensive position, which they entrenched and held. All of General Gibbon’s horses were captured, and he was cut off from his supplies.! At last accounts his wounded were suffering terribly for lack of medical attention, and the remlyént of his com- . mand was in a very distressing situation. General Gibbon has the reputa- i tion of being a brave and capable offi- ‘ cer, and his men are said to have behaved most gallantly. The disaster is a severe one, and will carry profound regret throughout the country. :

Better Times are Coming! South Bend'Register. i : : The business outlook continues to improve. The Boston Journal says the market reports of that city and the expression of merchants afford ground for encouragement. A better feeling among dry goods merchants has not prevailed for some time. Orders from the West have commenced to come in freely, and for large quantities, showing that the farmers are realizing money on their harvests.— The Chicago T'ribune reports an active business at the banks, by parties who are receiving and turning provisions and grain on contracts. The St. Louis Times reports an abundant demand for money, and the banks are getting their real estate loans made when money was dull. Grain is coming in and moving rapidly. There is an unusual good feeling of confidence that times will be better in a short time. Letters received by commercial houses in New York and elsewhere from all parts of the country give equally favorable reports. i .

Trouble in New York. Indianapolis Journal. - : : ; : There is strong opposition to the President’s civil-service policy among New York Republicans. Some of the prominent local leaders in New York city counsel opposition to the Federal office order, and it is even asserted that Hon. A, B. Correll, naval officer will contest the President’s authority. Mr. Cornell is a member of the Republican .National Committee and chairman of the State committee. Up to the present writing he has resigned neither place, and it is said he does not intend to do so, or to retire from his office. His plan is said to be to hold on to his places in the committees and to complel the President to remove him from the naval office; he will protest against such removal, and appeal to the Senate to sustain him.

Another Remedy. Harrisburg Patriot, A contemporary suggests that strikes might be avoided in the future if those who represent capital would consent to divide the profits of business with the labor employed in their production. Not that in order to carry this Idea into practice partnerships or cooperative business associations would be necessary, but simply that in addition to salaries or wages a percent--age of annual profits, varying according to the proaperity of business, should be allowed to employes. This, it is argned, weuld operate to givethe workingman such an interest in the success of the employer’s business ‘that when hard times set in he would willingly accept a reduction of wages. The suggestion is worthy of eonsider--ation, s g Lieut.-Gen.

These measures indicate that Russia appreciates the extent of the recent reverses, and will make heavy drafts on her immense resources 6o recover her lost ground and prestige. : A dispatch from Omaha that there are one hundred and forty-seven carloads of tea on the way from San Francisco to the east tells the story of the change of route between China and Europe in the most effective manner. Formerly the tea went from Hong Kong to Bristol in cliiper ships that made a voyage of months and rounded a contineént before sailing straight to their distination. Now form Hong Kong to San Francisco, thence across the continent to New York, and from there across the Atlantie to Liverpool the tea takes its course in nearly a direct line and as fast as steam can carryit. As the (}uality and delicacy of flavor of tea is'said to be affected by long voyages on salt water, the importance of the change is evident.
