THE Indianapolis Journal, with! the most astounding coolness, suggests to Secretary Schurz to go to New York and deliver a few speeches in favor of Conkling’s man Cornell! Does the Journal consider the eloguent- Schurz capable of swallowing shoe-pegs .by the bushel ? ;

SurprosE Europe had been. blessed with a full or bountiful crop of wheat, and the demand for American grain would have been comparatively insignificant, is anybody foolish enough to believe that John Sherman’s resumption policy would have made a bushel of wheat worth a dollar and over ?

IN SPEAKING of the foolish pretensions of the Sherman resumptionists, Senator Joe McDonald got off a happy hit by saying'in one of his Ohio speeches: “I suppose John Sherman destroy“ed the crops in Europe in order that “we can sell one-third more of our “products in that market.” This bro’t down the house. 4

"TorLEDO has, all told, five so-called “hard money Democrats” who wont vote for Ewing., These fiye pseudo Democrats are all interested innational banks. The loss of these five “democratic” hard money votes will be ‘more than made up by about 1,600 greenbackefs who have expressed a determination to vote for the people’s chiampion, gallant Tom Ewing, .

MonDpAY’s Indianapolis Journal declares that the great fire at Deadwood was the most destructive that.has occurred in the United States for some time, the loss being now estimated at $8,000,000, The people, however; are equal to the emergency, and with characteristic Western energy are preparing to rebuild the city in a much more substantial manner, - '

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, this State, -has a republican Sheriff who has a desperate fondness for strong drink, He has of late been on several sprees, and 'last week, while attending court at Greencastle, as a witness in the dhompson murder trial, he became so boisterous that he had to be locked up -in the Putnam county jail. 1f the Montgomery county ' Sheriff were a Democrat, wouldn’t the republican papers make a fuss about drunken democratic officials? '

THE LARGEST MEETING yet held in Toledo during the present campaign in Ohio was the Ewing meeting in Saengerbund Hall Friday night. It was a rouser.. Ewing delivered a masterly speech and was greeted with great enthusiasm by his thousands of admirers. Gen. Sherwood, a Greenbacker and former republican Secretary of State and member of Congress, supports Ewing and predicts that Lucas county will roll up a Ewing majority of at least 2,000, 3

THURMAN, who wants to retain his seat in the U, S. Senate in case he cannov become President, is working up the close counties with a view to insuring a democratic majority in the Ohio Legislature. Ewing, on the other hand, is rallying the “faithful” in the strongly democratic counties where, in elections of only ordinary interest, hundreds of Democrats neglect to go to the polls, acting upon the incomprehensibly absurd idea that “the county will godemocratic anyhovir.” Voorhees and other able speakers are rendering effective service by way ofarousing Democrats to a.sense of their duty, ' " :

THESE metropolitan journals are queer institutions! Here is the New York Ziimes, the ablest republican paper;in fhe United States, vigorously defending Samuel J. Tilden in theCyrus ¥ield controversy, and -the World, heretofore considered the only reliable democratic paper in. New York city but now ascertained to be owned by republican capitalists,insurance and railToad corporations, lending its columns to the abuse and denunciation of Mr. Tilden, while at the same time doing all in its power to elect Tilden’s friend Robinson to the Governorship. Verily, ‘New York politicians follow ‘strange methods! ) o !

A SHERMAN ORGAN exultingly declares that : ‘“Waterloo greenbackers generally want Ewing defeated. They remember that he - Voted for Randall for Speaker.” ¢ But these exactiflg chaps can’t remember Ewing’s noble fight for silver remonetization and the retention of the®846,000,000 greenbacks as part of -the circulating medium. Practically Gen. Ewing has done more for the genuine greenback cause than all the fiat dreamers put together. Being a man of sterling good sense and unimpeachable integrity, it could hardly be .expected that he would commend himself to persons who follow the leadership of that prince of blatherskites, Brick Pomeroy. ' 15

Tue strong democrati¢ counties in Ohio are being worked up so as to insure a full vote for Ewing. Succes in this direction will insure a democratic victory. 5 s sk :

GEN. STEEDMAN says Ewing and Rice will have from 2,000 to 2,500 majority in Lucas county, which in former’ years rolled up a républican majority of 800 to 1,400. = .

THE republican managers in Ohio have about made up their minds that whatever the result on the State ticket may be, they can’t capture the Legislature, ‘which elects a U. S. Senator to succeed Judge Thurman. _'

SENATOR BECK, of Kentucky, says if Robingon is re-elected Governor of New York, Tilden will be nominated by acclamation. If Robinson fails of an election, Mr. Beck thinks General Hancock will be the democratic standa_rdbearer.

WE ARE CONSTANTLY in receipt of applications for additional exchanges, few of which we can in justice to ourself comply with. 'We have already on our exchange list from 10 to 15 papers which are of ngiearthly use to us and 'with'whi¢h we exchahge solely as a matter of accommodation and from a sense of contemporaneous courtesy.

THAT Ohio Democrats feel quite confident of Mr. Ewing's-glection was evidenced on board the train last Saturday, between Edgerton and Bryan.— We heard several offers to bet on Ewing, without takers. Dr. Graser offered to bet a republican lJawyer of Bryan $2O against $lO that Ewing would beat Charléy Foster. The wager was not aceepted. ’

- This is_evidence that Columbia City is something of a wheat market. On last Friday at one time there were 41 wagon loads of wheat at the Eel River elevators waiting to unload.—[Post. That’s a very good showing for Columbia City, but Ligonier beat that “all hollow” last Monday when one hundred and two wagon loads of wheat were unloaded in quick succession, as tast as the work could be done by our steam eleyators. -

Mgr. R. B. HAYESs has on several oceasions, in conversations with newspaper reporters, expressed the hope that the Democrats would not again nominate the gentleman who beat him (Hayes) a quarter of a million of votes in the presidential contest of 1876. Hayes would like to have the Democrats nominate either Pendleton or Thurman—an Ohio man. At Chicago Mr. Hayes was more outspoken in his opposition ‘to Mr. Tilden than seemed prudent at other points. Whereupon that saucy journal, the Wabash Courter, turns upon the defacto President in this vigorous style: ‘ : The man who sits in the presidential chair, reached by stepping stones of fraud, perjury and the most infamous crimes ever committed against a free government, has the rare impudence to assert that the man whose salary he is now drawing is the weakest candidate the Democrats could

nominate next year, and that ‘““there is always a suspicion of treachery hanging about Tilden among those who have been his followers.” This opinion from the man who raped the presidency and rewarded from the public treasury every miserg,ble miscreant who took a part in the steal can not be regarded as anything other than a huge joke. It is the very essence of cheek; the acme of audacity; the sublimity of impudence. Satan’s rebuke to sin dwindles away into nothing compared with it,

. THE GENTLEMAN who penned the subjoined argument in favor of Thomas ‘A. Hendricks’ nomination to the Presidency evidently has the good sense to know that to point out: the virtues and qualifications of an'aspirant to high position 1s of far greater value than ‘coarse and’ vindictive denunciation and abuse of a rival or competitor. Men of sense, possessed of a fair.degree of propriety, have long since learned to appreciate the force of this observation. As an evidence that -all of Mr. Hendricks’ supporters are notof themud-slinging ordamphool order, we cheerfully transfer to our editorial columns the following from the Franklin Democret, with an unqualified endorsement of all the good things so handsomely spokensof Indiana’s favorite son: - M 3 We are for Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks for President. A pure man, he has the respect and confidence of all ‘people.” A statesman, the American people; would willingly place in.hisihands these impartant quéstions of government which almost daily come to'the chief executive for determination. Having a mind stored with a various knowledge, he would, before any people and upon every oceasion, téflect honor upon' those whose representative he would be. Profound, dignified, moral, he to-day possesses the respectof the whole ‘country. He is, in addition, a Hoosiér, and of this fact we of Indiana should and do feel proud. We kmow of no man in the country who more deserves the honor' of the first station than he, nor a man whom Indianians would support with more enthusiasm. The public esteem for him is not confined within the lines of his own State. . From Oregon to Florida his name is on many tongues, his praise in many ‘mouths. Certainly the' national conven‘tion eould not do & wiser thing than to nail at the masthead the honored name of Hendricks, :

It is now pretty generally understood t_hat..l Senator McDonald is the dark horse in the presidential race.—-[Crawfordsville Review. - That “general understanding” must be confined to a rather limited circle. 1t hasn’t even reached this part of the country yet. ;

“THE BANNER fully agrees with its esteemed contemporary, the Celumbia City Post, that Senator MeDonald, if correctly reported in the papers, has of late done a little more talking than is compatible with wiseand prudent leadership. Such talk as attributed to “our Joseph” will not help Mr. Hendricks to a presidential nomination.

" THE LARGEST MEETING held in the city of New York since the memorable anti-Tweed demonstration in 1871 took place in Cooper Institute Monday evening, to ratify the’ nomination of Gov. Robinson. Over 20,000 people were in attendance. The venerable statesman, Horatio Seymour, the .idol of ‘ the New York Democracy, sent .a - letter warmly urging the election of ‘Robiason and the entire democratic ticket, in the interest of good government and low taxes. Ex-Senator Lyman Trumbull, of Rtinois, also sent a letter in which he said:} lam truly sorry not to be aple te_accept your invitation to be present and address the meeting to be held at Cooper institute. How any Democrat can hesitate which side to choose in such a“gontest is a marvel to Demoerats.outside of New XYorky

IN St. Lovuis there is published a paper called the Times-Journal. This paper professes great admiration for the Hon. Thomes A. Hendricks and affects to champion this distinguished statesman’s nomination for the Presideney. The 7'.-J. recently published an article, reproduced in Monday’s Indianapolis Sentinel, which for downright meanness and stupidity would do honor to the prolific brain of‘ene of John Kelly’s'-journalistic"mvudéslingers".’- The pith of this article is that Mr. Tilden bought his nomination at St. Louis in 1876, and that but for the liberal expenditure of money by Tilden’s agents Mr. Hendricks would have been nominated for the first instead of the second place on the national ticket! And such vile ,stuff is sent out to aid Mr. Hendricks in his aspirations for 1880. Do the men who father such libellous literacure not know that just such indecent and wholly untruthful declarations are doing Mr. Hendricks infiniteIy greater injury than Mr, Tilden? Have they not sense enough to know that when they declare two-thirds of a national convention t> have been bought they offer an unpardonable and contemptibly mean insult to the men who represented the Demoeracy of the Union in national convention? Are they so stupid as to suppose that intelligent men regard the representatives of "a’ great national party as so many articles of merchandise, to be knocked off to the highest bidder? If such be their belief, the “Hendricks boom’’ hes been intrusted into the hands of a set set of political ninnies who will be sure to destroy whatever chances-there may yet be for Mr. Hendricks’ nomination. If ever a man had reason to exclaim, “Deliver me from my friends,” that man seems to be Thomes A. Hendricks.

TO WHOM THE CREDIT 18 DUE. Well, now, just stand up and tell us ‘one single thing the democratic congress has done that has expanded the circulation one cent. There has not been.a single new greenback issued. There has been someincrease of bank issue this year, bat business demand for the money caused that, not because of any change in the bank law, as there has been mone. The remonetization of silver has had, we think? a £ood - effect upon the country, enabling the Secretary of the Treasury to resume, and thereby giving confidence of stability in the currency, and encouraging a renewal of business enterprise; but remonetization of silver was as much a republican policy as democratic, and was first advocated by the republican press. In so far as Democrats sustained the remonetization of silver, they did a proper work; but in all their other financial policy they have begn an_obstruction 'to the renewed prosperity of the country.— {Lagrange Standard. ate ! ‘ All right, Doctor; we'll stand right up and tell you that it was a democratic house of representatives which passed the silver remonetization aet.. In consequence ¢f the decreased republican majority in the Senate this act was subsequently ratified by that body. A republican President vetoed the silver bill, but it was passed over his veto by the requisite two-thirds majority in both houses. It was a republican Congress which demonetized silyer, the bill for that purpose being signea by a_republican President, U. §. Grant. A democratic house of representatives passed a bill which vmwfimk the fangs out of the resumption' aet by forbidding the further- retirement ‘of greenbacks; the Senate concutring in theisame, - doubtless - in ‘Obtzmw' “to the public sentiment created ‘by the earnest agitation on part of the democratic and greenback press. The destruction of greenbacks being: forbidden, every dolar added to the circulating medium by the coinage of silyer added so much to the volume of currency. These two Important measures ‘owe their success to the democratic

voles in Congress, though we do not wish to deny to the Republicans who voted with the Democrats a share of the honor. Since contraction has ceased and expansion followed, confi‘dence has been restored and a revival of business inaugurated. Had the rcpublican contraction policy been continued, the business outlook would not ‘be s¢ hopeful as it is to-day. To be sure, the mischief: done by the republican legislation on questions of finance is beyond remedy; the people cannot now escape from the double burdens imposed upon them by republican Congresses in the interest of a greedy and grasping Money Power. Their wrongs and sufferings ought to serve as constant reminders of the folly of keeping the republican party in power for so long a period. Had they elected a democratic President and a democratic Congress in 1868, hundreds of millions of dollars might have been saved, and much of the distress and ‘misery of the past six years would have been averted. But prejudice has more than once led people into doing things for which they had to pay dearly afterward. 'The democratic party,’ as soon as partly restored fo power, came to the rescue of the people by the enactment of wholesome laws, which even the hidebound partisan of the Lagrange Standard is forced to commend, Let the people see to it that this grand champion of their dearest and best interests is once more put in full possession of the government, and their confidence will be rewarded by a wise and prudent guardianship of the public trust.. Equal and exact justice will be meted out to all, rich and peor, high and .low. s

SENATOR McDONALD ON FINANCE AND RETURNING PROSPERITY, ~ Joe McDonald, 6ur senior U. S. Senator, is popularly recognized as a hard money Democrat, though in point of fact it is'difficult to reconcile his expressed views with those of the hard money men of the East who insist upon asingle (gold) standard and demand the withdrawal of greenbacks from circulation. Senator McDonald is now making speeches in Ohio, in the interest of Ewing and Rice. In thesespeeches he talks like a man of solid sense, fairly and truthfully, and not like the few “‘democratic hard money” warblers of Indiana who are in the habit of denouncing such utterances es the following as “inflation arguments,” We commend to the thoughtful consideration of all unprejudiced men the following extract from Senator MecDonald’s speech at Millville, Ohio: He began with reference to the panic -of 1873, and the present signs of approaching prosperity. . A pean was going up all over the land that the signs of promise are due John Sherman. Perhaps if the benéficent harvests are due to John Sherman, he was the cause of the short crops in Europe, which bring our crops _inf;o market. [Applause.] Reverting again to the panic of 1873, he said there had been an appearance of prosperity which was deceiving. Itwas the flush of consumption on the face of the country, not the ruddy tinge ot health, and ruin followed. In this connection he dwelt upon the evils of the resumption act—the forced march of the ;Republican financial poliey, which brought disaster and bankruptcy upon the land. He had always been in favor of specie payments, and it wasnow his province and pleasure to prove that the equation of values of paper and silver money was not the result of the resumption act, but the consequence of Democratic legisla'tioq' since. TReading the resumption act, which, in effect, declared that on and after January, 1879, all legal outstanding treasury notes should be redeemed in coin of the United States; thatcoin, by the Republican demonetization of silver, was gold. This had the effect of contracting the legsl ten‘der and National Bank notes over $100,000,000 in three years. 'An actof Congress was passed .in 1878 (by the Democrats ) forbiding the canceling or retirement of these notes. [Applause.} - That’s what stopped the ruin of Republican policy. But they are very particular not to say anything about that. = o Another cause which conspired with the act of 1878 to restore the country to a prosperous condition was the silver bill, passed by a Democratic Congress, vetoed by a Republican President, and passed over his head by said Democratic Congress. ;

e RANSAS LETTER. oo Linpssorae, MoPHERSON Cofim-v, Kansas, September, 23, 1879, } J. B. Stoll, Editor Ligonier Banner: s I have several times of late noticed that sign of multiplication on my paper; I mean the X. Knowingthat my time had expired, I ought to havesent you a replenisher before this, but being a little short of “sponds,” I could not do it. But you will find enclosed in this communication a sufficient amount of the circulating medium to pay for the BANNER for a period of six months, for which amount you will please give me credit. lam asanxioustoget THE BANNER as lam to get a letter from old friends; I therefore will be one of your subseribers so long as J. B. Stoll remaing at thehelm, or until something elsetranspires that we know not of now. - It might be somewhat important to your many readers to know something about our young eity. Lindsborg 1s a Swedetown and is situated on the Smokey Hill river, twenty miles south of Salina, in the north-western part of McPherson county. We are located in one of the most beautiful and productive valleys in the State of Kansas—“ Smokey Hill Valley.” Some of the very nicest farms to be seen west of the Mississippi river are seen in this valley.— That “lllinois farmer who went to Kansas several years ago to better his condition,” and who gave his opinion of Kansas in the columns of THE BANNER, I will venture to say never saw the Smokey Hill Valley, nor did-he ever see the Solomon Valley. He probably went west of Kausas civilization into the western counties where rain seldom ever falls, and where the buff}aloes roam over the prairie and no grass for domestic animals to subsist on, only ‘the buffalo grass, the quality of which 18 bad,—not fit for hay and worth put little for pasture. I would advise the farwers of Indiana to take no notice of the Illinois farmer and his petty grievances. What he says of the State -of Kansas can be said of almost every State in the Union. _ Sure the Eastern and Middle States do not have as many grasshoppers es this State does some years. I have been in Kansas two summers and have not seen any grasshoppers yet. The chintz bug injures the corn a little. We had a better season this year than Indiana did so far as droughtis concerned. Hot winds a few, hail-storms none in this part of Kansas. If I had time and space I would review the whole of the Illinois farmer’s article, but I think it not necessary. I started out to tsll your readers about our little city of Lindsborg. We have a population of 500 and the city is “booming” since the railroad made its debut; new stores are being built and dwelling houses are springing up all over town like mushrooms in a hot bed, -and still the supply is not equal to the demand. We have one school house, two church edifices and four church organizations, four large dry goods and clothing stores, three hardware stores, five grocery stores, three harness shops, three shoe shaps, two drug stores and one about to come, two meat markets, two tin shops, two milliner stores, two hotels, two restaurants and boarding houses too numerous to mention, one tailor shop, two barber shops, four blacksmith shops, one wagon shop, three livery stables, one furniture store, two attorneys at law,two notarys public, and last but not least, fouc M. D’s (mule drivers). Our town organization is a city of third class and has.a mayor, city clerk, city treasurer, five councilmen and a police judge. We are pleased to state that there is not a saloon in McPherson county. . ~ There, were some persons who bitterly opposed the construction of the Tailroad, but it is the opinion and experience of the writer that a railroad is a sine qua son to the life continuance of any town, especially in the west.— Health in this section of Kansas is as good as it is in any other season of the year, not as-much sickness now .as there was in July. Wa poor M. D’s have nothing to do to keep us out of mischief.s I hope for the. good of the Doctors,at least,that there will be more to do in the future. Kansas is a healthy country. Oh, shame on the man who will leave Kansas and hurl it through the columns ot the papers as being a “fraud on a grand scale.” ' ‘ “R.D, Knox and wife grriyed in Salina Friday night, September 19, 1§79, They are still in the vicinity of Salina, but we are looking for them to visit Lindsborg soon to see your:humble gervant. ~ - R.M.KnNox, M.D. :

To what cause do you ascribe this change in sentiment ?” s ~ “At the beginning of the campaign the Democrats were, to some extent, disorganized, and there seemed to be a lack of harmony. This is all over now, and I think perfect harmony now exists, and' that gives us a better chance.” e : . “You say you think the Democrats will earry the State? - If you were to ‘make a guess, at what would you put the majority ?” 2 “Now, as to'that, I would not like to say. -It is a close State at best.

Druggists -claim larger sales for Hill’s Bacha than any other medicine, Sold by C Eldred&Son. : : : ‘ . Post-Mortem Examination. , (Lagrange Standard.) | Mr. Royer in allowing a post-mortem of his child, has set a commendable example. There is hardly anything the people could do that would tend more to advance correct - knowledge in the practice of medicine, than to allow intelligent physicians the opportunity of a post-mortem examination of the dece2sed in all cases where there is any doubt as to the real character of the disease. In the case of this little child, the parents are consoled in actually knowing that the life of their little one could not have been saved, as its stomach was found ruptured, and that apparently from the effects of anminfliction exigting at or coming into - existence soon aiter its birth. The knowledge of the irréemediable character of the disease relieves the parénts of that most unhappy state of feeling, that something more might or should have been done to save their darling, and the physician, having studied thesymptoms the disease had developed, and learned the real cause, has obtained a real practical knowledge that could not otherwise -be obtained. When so much good may result, and the dead be not injured, it would seem almost cruel to the living to-withhold the pri-. I:lege of acquiring it. e o

Sunday in Germany has not been invested with much of & sacred character. In the Catholic parts of the country all classes go to church, but they spend the rest of the day in dancing, beer drinking, and other vigorous amusements. Inthe Protestant sections they do not even go to church. The houses of worship are few—often not more than one to a dozen villages, and an equally small proportion in t¥e cities -—and the small number there are, are ill-attended. At the same time . there are fewer offences against the public peace than in chuyrch-going England. |
