NOT NEEDED YET.

People that are under the Influence of excitement from whatever cause nay things which would not be thought of In c&lmer momenta, or If thought would never lm spoken. During the excitement of the grout strike of railroad employes, and the lawless action of the thieves that made the stilke serve us a cloak for their crimes,soiue impulsive people aud a few of them the editors of newspapers felt and saftl that it would be better to have a monarchical government ami a large standing army to meet and coutrol such emergencies witli a strong arm. Sometime before these exciting events transpired and before anything like the lawlessness that followed them could have been anticipated, General Sherman, under the inspiration which comes to those who are guests at fashionable banquets, said something about it being only a short time were the army disbanded until this nation would bo a huge mob. But let these j gentlemen—General Sherman, the monarchists and the despairing editors—takedown the neglected volumes of history that grace their library shelves, turn over the leaves carefully I and point, if they can, to a nation, either'modern or ancient, wltose government was a limited monarchy or an absolute despotism, that was proof against disturbances of like character, or that was able to quell them more promptly, with so small loss of life. Mohs aud emeutca arc not products peculiar to governments of republican form, but they nre as frequent and as formidable under kings and emperors as under presidents. Neithrir docs an expensive standing army nor the most efficient police prove potent to prevent these popular uprisings, or to control them and prevent destruction of-property and loss of life after they have risen. The truth probably is that impartial judgment would Bud a large balance in favor of the people of the United States and the American system of government after careful aud candid investigation was j made. People who clamor for a king to rule over them, after enjoying the incomparable blessings and privileges iT irfreß-RuvertTmewt a liumiied years arc not wiser than the frogs of ancient fable to whom Jupiter.sent a stork in answer to their foolish prayers, who devoured liis subjects to maintain his royal tastes. If these people are fallen so itt love with tiro system of protection that is afforded the subjects of kingdoms and empires, there is no obstacle, save their own inertia, to prevent their enjoying it where it is already established ; but for the rest of ns, if yon please, we prefer the dear, free-breathing republic awhile longer. ] f you go, good bye.

THE STORM SUBSIDED.

The strike of railroad employes and other laborers, which last week assumed proportions almost those of civil war, practically collapsed last Friday, and trains are row running with their former regularity on ail the railroads, while the other laborers have generally resumed their accustomed work. The uprising of the working classes at the instigation of mobocrats and thieves proved a miserable fiasco; it was quelled with comparatively littlediffieulty by those who have the peace of community in keeping, and without near the destruction of property or the loss of life which the gigantic proportions of the revolt at first seemed to threaten. It is intimated in certain quarters that tlte strike, or whatever term is proper to use when speaking of the commotiou, was premeditated by all classes of artisans and laborers—that is had been resolved upon in tlie secret sessions of trades unions, lodges of brotherhoods, aud halls of labor guilds—in short that It,was a public demonstration of organized Communism that in France seemed an abnormal fungoid fostered by if not peculiar to and always attendant upon the republican form of govehimeut; but this is improbable, else tits action wo’d have been instantaneous, responsive to a signal, like the combustion of gunpowder; anil, unlike gunpowder, its flame aud heat would have taken ■4 longer time to subdue. The aetion tff th‘fe"'Tsritai§d strikors other than those in tiw» of the Baltimore and Ohio company, was puis'»> sympathetic; while that of the mobs iu Pittsburg, Columbus, Fort Wayne and Chicago, has tlie features of bald robbery. Governor Williams is receiving a good deal of criticism at tlie hands of the press throughout the United Btates, and also lu England, for his attitude toward the mobs aud strikers. The old gentleman undoubtedly is4n truiuhig for tlie United States senate, and, true to his instincts and record as a demagogue, could not resist the temptation to try to make a little political -capßai with the rioters. Probably there is not iu the whole state a more grasping, avaricious soul, iu a small way, than Qovernor Williams; and his pretended sympathy for poor men is the most transparent kind qf sham This is fully proven by his treatment of those with whom-he has dealings in a private personal capacity. Asa politician lie is narrow-minded, in-,

i tensely bigoted, • nnd superlatively cunning. But ho has one great redeeming quality, which cannot be too , highly commended, it is honesty in llio care of publio money. A box of matches passes through fifty different processes beforo it "is ready for the market; twenty for the matches, and as many more for the ' boxes. Most of tho wood used for tlte splints is white pine, clear of knots; ! hot beech, birch, willow, poplar and , cedur aro also used occasionally. One [ firm in the city of New York uses j yearly 700,900 feet of choicest while j pine lumber, 100,000 pounds of sul* | phur, and 150 tons of straw boards for i their boxes. In 1870 tho census takj ers found 75 mutch factories in the j United Slates, tlie productions of | which were estimated ut the value of i ! $3,540,000. A New York puper guessI es that 240,000,000 mutches uro cobsumed every 24 hours in this country alone, or 0 per diem for every .man, I woman and child, a large portion of which smokers buru. That there was a great deal of senj satlon and exaggeration in the accounts of tlie riotous demonstrations in Chicago lust week, as given by the daily press of that city, is strongly intimated in tlie subjoined paragraph from the Inter-Ocean of Monday ; YVe want to inform tlie Now York Timos, iuuJ several other Eastern papers, that Chicago did not‘fall wiihout a struggle into tbe hands of the strikers,’ It didn’t foil into j their hands at all. A few mills were stopped by a roving ntob before tbe police could col- ! loot in sufficient force to disperse them, nnd i this might happen if we had n garrison tl’ j 20,000 troops instead of S police force of! 000 or so. It is nhsuid to talk of this riiv l liuring been in the hands of a mob. Tie railroal men quit work, which they had a right to do. but ninety-nine ouc-bnndreilths of our population never would have known there w.is trouble nnywhere about towu had it not been for the ‘rumors from the front’ nnd tlie rnthergorgeous accounts of reporters, w-he-- nearly ran their legs off trying To get sight of a live rioter.

Another victory for the Russians js ! reported. Dispatches atattft that an engagement was fought last Sunday, uear Rutschuk in Bulgaria, between the Russian forces under tho young ’Czarowitclt Slid tile Turkish troops commanded by Ahmed Byoub Pasha, which resulted iu tlie defeat of the latter with a loss of ten standaids, thirty cannon, and between 5,000 and 8,000 prisoners ut' war. It is further reported that on tlie sattic day the Russians again attacked Plevna and were making encouraging progress against it. Chicago newspapers am- almost ns busy and quite a? earnest this week denying there- wtp a' riot there, as they were last week describing Ks formidable proportions, awful outrages, and fearful -fighting. They were terribly frightened at the ml(l t pran ks of a couple of score of foitrtcen-year-o!d lads, else they have been lying like aged Nicholas. Possibly, a little of both lias uillicted them. It is announced Unit Eastern insurance companies are beginning to offer long-time loans of money on si it per cent, interest. If true, those twenty-four per eeut. brokers will soon have livelier competition titan they will be able to manage. Elections for state officers will be held iu Kentucky and Alabama nuvl Monday. The chances are lit favor of tlte Democrats. Gold remains firm at qbout 105}. It hasn’t varied from these ITgurcs half a cetii for several weeks. ■ ■ ■ Tkmi'Kkanck.—The ill load mice at tho regulur mouihly meeting nl the Jasper County Temperance Union, which whs held in tbe Christian church hist Monday evening, was the hugest that has gre?te l the society since its meetings were transferred from the court house to the churches. Every seat was ■occupied even to those on ■ Abe aland, and many persons stood outside and looked in through the ophn windows. Perfect order was kept by tlie assembly, all hough the weather was very warm and calculated to m ke people restless. On account of tlie absence! from town of some whose names appeared on tho published programme, the ordor of exercises was necessarily changed, but~this did not pro--dace a»y perceptible confusion. The chief attractions were tlte addresses of Professor Wade, of L.xFayelte, and Elder il. V, Heed, of Chicago; but in addition to these the essay of Mr. P. B. Benjamin, the dec! a net-1 tions of Mr. Price, Miss Belle Alter and ; llttnfgafefc|gy»w,awA the sp'endid mu-! si cal perfdraiAnceTiWftffhtPiiiTflfc- I assisted by Miss Lilly Tharp, Miss Hopkins, Professor (J. P. Hopkins nnd Mr. i Frank iinusxinn, are worthy of special ' mention; the choir also rendered good service. Miss Motile Babcock ns presiding officer was highly complimented, and the compliment was not unworthily bestowed, for indeed the be*t order was maintained by her gentle dignity that even Rensselaer audiences can boast. The large iiftcuduuce : and interest manifested are indications of a good healthy aen'dinent in ctmunnuity that is very gratifying to those who have the public morals at heart. Kncxirr is acknowledged of a copy of the : premium list of tho'Renvngton agricultural August 29, 29, 80 and 31. The cash pro- ? inium-. offered amount to $3,(1D0; of which * $540 is on horses for speed. Gov. Williams is announced to deli vet-an uddress the’h'irth.
