Tue Butler Record flings to the breeze this ticket for 1880: For President, Roscoe Conkling; for Vice President, Benj. H. Harrison. There is a good deal more sense in enthusing for a ticket'like this than to shout for Grant and a monarchy., , S

- THERE is at least one republican paper in Northern Indiana that does “not silently bow to the clamor for “Grant and a strong government”’— meaning a monarehy.

HoN. MONTGOMERY BLAIR, of Maryland, publishes a column letter in the New York Sun, in which he claims that Tilden is the only available dem-

ocratic candidate, and, attributes the récent rout of the party in the north to an attempt to throw him overboard.

Mr. Blair, like most other men, is liable to be mistaken. . :

SHERMAN now proposes a gigantic contlracrti‘on of the currency by withdrawing the bulk of the one and two dollar greenbacks and by issuing $5,000 and $lO,OOO bills in lieu of fives, tens and twenties. The larger the denomination of these bills; the less they will circulate among the masses. 'ls there no way of stopping the great wrecker in his desperate course?,

MiNisTER WELSH, on Thursday last, paid over to Lord Salisbury five and a half millions 6f dollars in gold, the amount of the Halifax mackerel award, accompanying the payment with a protest against its ever being used hereafter as an argument of American assent to the award. | Uncle Sam was badly euchered in this transaction, but standing by a bad bargain 'was better than to become involved in abig muss. L ‘

. MuE New York World has reached the sensible conclusion that the curtency “question is a business question in politics, and as such it must and it will be discussed more thoroughly and unemotionally than heretofore, The laws of money and banking will be reinvestigated.” The World is entirely correct in this, but radically wrong

~ lin its teachings. It insists that paper s .money ought to be issued by banks, | while we insist that that is the exclu- | sive prerogative of the government.

Tone BANNER is not in favor of makipg the Trade or Mexican dollars a legal tender. The bulk of this kind of money has passed into the hands of speculators who “skinned” the people by depreciating the value of these “dollars” after putting them in circulation at par. Le_t.: these parties get rid of them the best way possible. We are in favor of but one kind of silver dollars, those containing 41214 grains, neither more nor less. And of these let there be millions! &

TALK about,the East being “solid” for the Sherman finance policy, and then ponder over these figures from the Twenty-ninth Congressional District of New York, composed of the counties of Allegany, Chemung and Steuben: Richardson, Rep., 14,327; Babcock, Dem., 10,061; Beaumont, Greenbacker, 8,474. _Richardson has 3,366 votes over Babcock, but lacks 4,792 of a majority. This thing of dividing the anti-republican forces must be stopped. - - ‘

Tae Ft. Wayne Sentinel gives the Indiana Democracy this pleasing assurance: “The republican papers are “circulating the report that Senators “Winterbotham, HKesve and Sarnig-. “hausén will not, under any circum“stances, vote for Voorhees for Unit“ed States Senator. But we have no “doubt that every one of these gentle“men, whatever his personal prefer“ences may be, will vote in accordance “with the wishes of his constituents “and the decision of the democratic “caucus,” The Sentinel is presumed to know whereof it affirms, - DISHONEST MEN are still to be found in the postal service.

WE NEED GOOD MARKETS.

In a recent letter addressed to Hon. Erastus Brooks, that able and clearheaded statesman, the Hon. Horatio Seymour, lays merited stress upon the importance of cheap transportation from the interior to, the seaboard. The best currency in the world, Mr. Seymour says, will not build up prostrate business and shattered fortunes. The country needs good markets and cheap access to them. This will bring the balance of trade to us. We have sold to Europe an excess over our puf-‘ ‘chases of $300,000,000 worth of grain, cheese, pork, and other provisions. All this has gone back to the farmers of the country, and the merchant has been obliged to buy more largely to meet the increasing demand from them; and so the wheels of trade are set in motion. We can keep the markets we have gained for our breadstuffs if we do not destroy our chances by high rates of transportation. The markets may be widened if government will not interfere, but, on the other hand, lend a helping hand through a revision of our navigation laws. ! i :

“I WANT the currency laws of the councry so shaped that if I want coin I can get my bills or notes readily converted into gold or silver,” is a favorite argument with those who are clamorous for specie resumption.— Very well, gentlemen. But how can you do this under the Sherman resumption law ? No matter how many bills you may hold against the First National Bank of Kendallville or the City: National Bank of Goshen, they are not compelled to redepm a single one in coin. They must give you greenbacks if you present their bills for redemption, but coin you cannot compel them to pay you. If you want coin, you ean send $5O or more to the sub-treasury in New York and get what you want, provided you are willing to pay express charges both ways. That’s the kind of resumption Mr. Sherman offers'the people.

Farmers are still threatening to quit raising hogs, regarding it as a too hazardous speculation, But the low price of corn induces them to try it again.—Crawfordsville Journal. Farmers would act very unwisely were they to quit raising hogs. There is'no telling when prices may advance. It is true, the immediate future is not very promising, but it is the part of wisdom to be prepared for any emergency. If, perchance, prices should suddenly advance within the coming year, tarmers would feel very much annoyed to find themselyes “short” of hogs for the market. Besides, farmers ought to devote a little more attention to “salting down.” Waell-cured hams generally command fair prices in the spring and summer.- B

What democratic. paper proposes Governor Williams for re-election ?— South Bend Register. - o

Probably none, and that for the very excellent reason that democratic papers generally have some knowledge of Article V, of the constitution of Indiana, which providesthat the Governor “shall hold his office during four “years, ant shall not be eligible more “than four years in any period of eight ‘years.” - iR ‘

IN SPEAKING of redistricting the State, the fact should not be overlooked that the votes of two “National” Senators are required to pass a bill for that purpose. The Democrats elected two such—Senators Majors and Poindexter. These gentlemen ought to, and we think will, go into the democratic caucus. o

First Victory for the British.

The British troops in Afghanistan have achieved an unexpected success in the very outset of their enterprise. On-Friday, after an inconsequential artillery duel, they took possession of the almost impregnable fort of Aliﬁsjid, and, it may be said, did not ave to strike a blow for it, as it was abandoned by the Afghans under cover of the darkness. According to a doubtful Berlin dispatch to the London T'imes General Kaufman, who was the leader of the Russian expedition to Afghanistan which was so | cordially received by the Ameer, and which gave rise to the present AngloAfghan difficulty, has presented a | magnificent sword to Shere Ali on behalf of the Czar. The gift is alleged to have been accompanied by a very singular address, in view of recent Russian professions of neutrality.

The Afghanistan Trouble. (Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The Afghan war will be costly and bothersome, but the end is not in doubt. Unless Beaconsfield has designs upon the independence of Afghanistan (and if he has England hasn't) there is only meant a spanking. Some of the tribes of Afghanistan and some of the people of India do not agree; but the Afghan tribes ‘do not present /a solid front against the Governmsnt of Great Britain. The military situations we will explain hereafter. The fighting strength of the Afghan Government is probably 200,000 men. These are militia men. The people of Afghanistan are between five millions and six millions. The country measures about four hundred and fifty miles by four hundred and seventy miles. It’s area is about 212,000 square miles. There are ning distinct nationalities in the country, and four hundred and five clans.— There are quarrels and divisions, of course, among these clans. 1t is estimated that sixty thousand fighting men of Afghanistan will join the British cause—more than one-fifth of the Afghan militia strength. Theend of the conflict is not in doubt, but even England seems to regard it as a bad Wal‘. 47

The House. ’ Friends of Speaker Randall have carefully compiled a table showing what they claim will be the exact complexion of the next House. This table gives the following totals: Democrats, 161; Republicans, 182: Greenbackers, B,l:u?emocratic majority over all 14, plurality over Republicans 19. Dividing the Greenbackers between the parties according to their known predilections, will give the Democrats a majority of 20. : |

A very good idea, and a thing ‘that would be very convenient to most of the county officers, since it ‘would give a:'closer route to the print/ing office. This should be done, if at the expense of a few individuals. Mr. Costin, track-master on the B. & O. railroad, gave our town a short call on Saturday, Costin is & solid Democrat and lives in Allen township. Four lives lost in Albion ou Friday. The skulls of the dead were crushed by the heavy blows of an ax, and the throats cut in a fearful manner.

School has closed for the day and here comes Johnny with a full head of steam, with “Pa, don’t you think the teacher whipped Henry ——, today.” “Well, what for?” “Oh, nothing much, but I tell you what, if he didn’t wallop it to him like blixen.” “Well, now, I 'would just like to see ‘him pound one of my boys in that kind of style; if I wouldn’t learn him how to teach school.” Johnny returns next morning somewhat prompted for the contest. This is the right direction wherein to approve of children being corn*écted at school, consequently more trouble. Patrons, forbear criticising the teachers’s acts in the presence of your children, rather uphold the teacher and by so doing you will create an interest in the child for his teacher, promote the interest of your school, ‘and 'above all gain the confidence of your teacher who will most assuredly work for the welfare of:your children. Let this receive yonr candid attention; read it, ponder over it, and when yourchild returns from school approve of what the teacher did. DORA.

Terrible Mining Accident.

- SULLIVAN, Ind.,, Nov. 21.—A terrible explosion occurred in the Sullivan coal mine this afternoon, causing huge volumes of flame and smoke to belch from the mouth of the shaft, and throwing rocks of coal as high as 800 feet. -There were two shafts of the mine, with 15 men in each shaft. The explosion blocked the passage way and fastened the cages at the bottom, 250 feet from the surface of the earth, and it was some time before, with ropes and pulleys, anyone could be lowered into the mine. The explosion was caused by gas taking fire from lamps, and there being eight or ten kegs of powder in the mine the explosion was most terrific. The men were knocked into pits of water and ‘drowned. Near midnight nine dead bodies were recovered; two persons fatally injured; eight were secured alive, and several were still in the mine, some of them still living, as their cries could be heard. At night air was being forced into the mine to drive out the deadly fumes of the gas. ; ’ : _Among the killed were Tom and Sam Hanford, two of the mine proprietors. A great crowd of relatives, consisting mostly of women, gathered around the ill-fated mine, and their lamentations were pitiful. LATER.—A more complete account of the fatal gas explosion in the Sullivan coal mine, explains that the accident was due to the rashness of one of the miners, who used blasting-pow-der to break down a thin partition of rock between two - chambers of the mine, after being expressly forbidden todoso. . - .

Geisendorff’s ice houses and schutes are undergoing thorough repairs, and as soon as the.time comes they will be well filled with ice. o

It is rumored there is a scheme on foot to get up a joint stock company and start a machine factory in Rome, for the purpose of manufacturing sash, blinds, frames, screens, doors, ‘wind mills, and many other articles ' too numerous to mention. This is a good seheme, and ought to be carried into execution. There is no better ‘ ‘point. for this business than Rome: City. , ‘

It looks now as if Joshua Rinehart would be doing business in his new brick building by the time the holidays get here. s ias @ . The more we see of Hen. Dan Voorhees the better we like him:. Heis evidently a friend of the people. He has given nétice in advance that his -first official act in Congress will be to introduce a bill to make the trade dollar a legal-tender. This is right and eminently proper. How can those ‘who are clamoring for ‘honest money ‘object to it? ~ But we hope Mr. Voor‘hees will not stop there. Let him extend his efforts and inelude the Mexis jcan dollar. It is mtmmmg;ﬁ ‘much value as our daddy dollar. This ‘would greatly increase our volume of

ment, to commence payihg'éﬂ;. our in-terest-bearing bonds. One thing more we woul? have Mr, Voorhees do, and that is this: We would have him introduce a bill authorizing and requiring the U. 8. government to issue ¢§ least twenty millions of fractional currency of the denominations of 50 cents and 25 cents for convenience in commercial transactions; ‘after which we would have a new issue of greenbacks to the amount of $300,000,000 or $400,000,000; making these a full legal-tender. Then we would see our. country prosperous and happy. It is presumable that in point of prosperity, Noble.county ‘will compare quite favorably with other counties of this State. Now let us consider a moment. Our sheriff has one hundred and five executicns in his hands, and to pay these our farmers are forced to selltheir wheat at 85 cents per bushel, corn 25 cents, oats 16 to 18 cents; pork, ‘on foot, $1.80; dressed pork; $2.75 or $3, &c.. Now, the man, the party, or the newspaper that can, in the face of these facts and figures, assert that times aré getting better, has more cheek than a government mule, and is much less reliable. -~

We are informed that it costs over $5OO less to run the schools of Orange township this winter than it did last year, and at the same time the grade of teachers has been raised. If our trustee cannot write (as was reported by his enemies last spring) he seems determined to make his mark. =

A farmer says the weather will be badly mixed this winter, because some portions of the corn have very thin husks, while in other fields the husks are quite thick and tough. =~ -~
