Henry Fl. Armstrong, q well-known and
wealthy citizen Of Madison, Ind, Was killed
at his o8n house On Thursday night.
He and his wife hare not been living
amicably together, and he had been absent
in New Albany. At II o'clock he was either
murdered OF shot himself outside his back door.
His wife states that he entered the house with
out disturbing any person, took off his boots and
placed them in the parlor, then ascended to her
room, where he beat and abused her, finally
dragging her down stairs; that she then
screamed, when he released her, she returning
up stairs. few minutes later abe heard the
pistol shot, and q neighbor found Armstrong
dead outside the back door; be had not put On
his boots, and his hands and person indicated
that be had had severe struggle. The Coroner
is trying to uncover the mystery.

The Grant Treasurer Of Olmatead' County,
Minnesota, has been loaning the county cash to
his friends for speculative uses. Thereat the
unreasonable GRANTEES OF that region are wroth.
They say that he must give up his Office. Yet
these men have probably been beating the
festive drum and firing the loud~mouthed can
non, to celebrate the successful bal1ot-bo1
stun6ng that made Hartranft Governor Of PENN
Rylvania. It would take the proverbial Phi1a-
delphia lawyer, duly bribed with Cameron's
cash, to tell wherein the Olmstead County
Treasurer is more guilty than the present Audi
tor, and future Governor, Of Pennsylyania.

Several charges have been made against the
management Of the National ank Of Marshall
town, Iowa. Chief among them is that Of
usury. It is reported from Washington that the
latter charge has been proved, and that the bank
will be forced, on account Of it, to go into iqui-
dation. We know nothing about the right O
wrong Of this particular case, but mention it, be-
CRUISE such punishment for usury will estab-
lsh very important precedent. The violation
Of usury laws is Of constant occurrence. This is
patent fact Money, like water, finds its own
level. It seems unjust, therefore, to force one
bank into liquidation, for this reason alone, and

the principal one of which ia to be found in the
condition of the grain market. Agriculture
represents fVe-si1ths OF the industry Of the
Western states and Counting cotton and to-
bacco) probably three-fourths Of that of the
entire country. We in the West have to deal
with the cereal and meat crops, and
only incidentally with the productions ot
the Southern States and we have to observe
first that the prices Of grain are, on the average,
SO per cent lower than they we're last year-in
consequence of the fact that the quantity raised
has been much greater than the previous year.
The great increase OF shipments (equa1 to 80 per
cent upon the year 1871 has had the effect, also,
to put up the rate Of freights both by land and
water, so that the farmer sees his candle burn
ing at both ends. he gets less per bushel for
his grain, and he pays more per bushel for send
ing it to market. With 6ve-sixths Of the indus
try Of the Northwest in this situation, the other
sixth cannot be really prosperous.
Nevertheless the shipments Of the three lead
ing cereals are enormous in amount averaging
$50 600 bushels per day,-fully 80 per cent higher
than the average Of former years,-so that the
amount Of money or property coming from the
Eastern and foreign markets ought to be about
as great as before, minus the excess paid for
freight this year over last. The English de-
mand for our breadstuffs is likely to be larger
than usual, Bince the crop Of the British
isles is damaged by excessive moisture. This is
material help to US, and is likely to go long
way toward tiding us over the present pinch.
The cattle and hog crop is now coming forward
in unexampled abundance, and prices are pretty
we'll maintained IS yet. The outlook in this
quarter is hopeful, and, unless the market is
overetocked, the returns from this branch Of
trade will soon be perceptible in Increased ease
in money.
Two facts stand out prominently in the pres
ent condition OF Western trade and industry.
We must have new outlets Chat is, channels Of
for our products, or re must
reduce our crops Of cereals. To re-
duce our grain crops will be to change,
or remodel our largest branch. Of
and all such changes are
necessarily slow and costly. To enlarge the
Canadian canals, and open new route down
the st. Lawrence, would practically double our
facilities for transportation; and this the Cana
diana are perfectly willing to do for ,us if We
will renew the Reciprocity Treaty which was
discontinued by our act in the year 1864. It
does seem impossible that any human being in
this country can longer oppose the renewal Of
that treaty, which never harmed soul during
the whole period Of it's operation. At all events,
TIC hope the Northwest will make itself heard in
thunder tones at Washington this winter on this
subject. Meanwhile, let Us hope that the Ma
tional Board Of Trade now in session will take
The initiative in demanding this measure Of re-
Lief, 80 inexpensive and SO easily granted.

operation Of the same general laws and refusing
to supply material aid to the one OF interfere
with the revenues Of the other, hive run against
an unexpected snag in the parson Of the Bishop
Of Erneland, who ia making stubborn fight in
his own behalf Some time ago the Blshap Of
Ermeland excommunicated the priests in his d.
ocese who refused to accept the dogma Of infal-
ibility. Bismarck protested against it at the
ti1ne and there the matter rostod, until the cen
tenary celebration at Marionburg, which took
place few weeks since. The Emperor William
was expected to attend this celebration, and the
Bishop Of Ermeland improved the opportunity
to request permission OF His Majesty to be
present. and renew his allegiance to the Empire,
as the religious head OF his province. The En-
peror replied by asserting that the Bishop had
assumed position antagonistic to the laws OF the
Empire, and that it WAS necessary for him to
acknowledge the supremacy Of the laws before
lie could be received, to which the Bishop replied
by denying any intention Of violating any laws
Of the land. At this stage of the proceedings,
Bismarck took charge OF the correspondence and
replied to the Bishops last letter by informing
him that he had disobeyed the laws by pronounc-
ing the accommodations, and that if he wished
to be received by the Emperor, he must first
publicly acknowledge his error in e1communi-
eating his priests without the consent OF the
Government. The Bishop sent two replies, one
to the Emperor, informing him that it would be
impossible for him to attend the celebration at
Marienburg. and one to Biamarck, accusing him
Of falsifying his letter and giving it
meaning it did not contain. Bismarck
had the last shot and answered that while
the Bishop was protesting obedience he
WAS practicing disobedience md thus the mat
