BaIlOom Failure.

The Grqphtc's balloon, which was
to leave on a voyage for Europe on
the 18th instant, didn't leave. The
imitation OF this monster balloon had
been continued until about 400, 900 feet
of gas had been pumped into it, when
it bursted, letting the large body Of
gas escape, which nearly smothered
those in close proximity to it. Mr..
Steiner, who had the contract for fill
ing the balloon with gas, said the bal
loon was not made Of proper material,
and therefore it would be folly to at
tempt to fill it again. The enterprise
is abandoned for the present. How
ever, a telegram Of the 18th says that
''Prof. Donaldson, the aeronaut, who
was to have sailed for Europe yester-
in the Graphic balloon, says that i'm
mediately after the collapse OF the
first experiment Goodsell offered to
begin at once the construction of a
new balloon of silk provided Donald
son would engage to make the Euro
pean trip In it. The offer was accept
ed, and the balloon will probably be
ready for him about the middle of Oc-
tober. The Car, life-boat and instrl-
ments which had already been proyid-
ed will be used. Prof. Wise publishes
a card defending the theory Of a wes-
tern air current, and announcing his
readiness to start tor Europe at any
time in gas-tight silk balloon. He
also censures the attempts to turn a
great scientific experiment and enter
prise into a money-getting affair.

The cry was no more lawyers no
more doctors, no more professional
politicians-give us loyal, true man
Of the people; one whose former life
and personal experience will be a
guarantee that the wants and interests
Of Oregon will be his aim when he
reaches the halls of Congress; one
whose time will not be wasted in con-
cocting buncombe speeches, and fixing
up things for reelection. In Hiram
Smith the people Of Oregon have the
man demanded by the times; man of
the people; thorough, true, honest,
faithful; a man who is self-reliant be-
cause self-taught; a man who has earn
ed oil he possesses by his own individ-
ual exertions; man who has never
made a business mistake; whose judg-
ment is sound and clear; who has no
vices to get rid of; who stands high in
the estimation OF all in his own home;
whose long and industrious life with
and among the people, enables him to
thoroughly understand and appreciate
their wants, and who will work with
an energy and will that knows no de-
feat, for their accomplishment. We
submit that the nomination of such a
man was demanded by the times-by
the people and now that the cry of
the people has been answered, it only
remains for them to show they were
in earnest by endorsing him.

the whole vine will be dead. The

ture action of ex-senator Pomeroy arc
going about some OF which Fro ssry
foolish. One report = thafh will rSturp
to Kansas; go into re King kidgl bas
mess at Topeka; mako his resi1enee
there; and, when the time comes, be q
candidate for Caldwell's vacant seat.
Another report is that he viii not re-
turn, to Kansas, but maze his future
home at some eastern ichy. Probably
few know what mis- plans are. He Ger
tainly never has {" resided mach" in
Kansas Senator or not Senator. IN
view of the late York unplcasantness,
with which his name is somewhat init
matcly connected, we should think the
better plan for him would be to return II
his Massachusetts, home and abide Their
permanently. He must necessarily fee
that his fractional residence" in kansas
has done him little good, and: that
"whole residence" here in the future vii
not retrieve the past. Let him, like Geo
Hoyt "jinc the Massachusetts, legisla
ture and try to work up again.

fHE RAID o. rue PEACE PouCY.

It is rather amusing to read the arti-
cIes ofvarious newspaper on the Candy
massacre, calling for On abandonment
of the peace policy of the government.
Among these papers are those which
we're the most enthusiastic advocates OF
this same policy when it was first intro
duced and that at time when it was OF
common occurrence to hear Of the most
horrible outrages beng committed upon
the persons of private citizens. Some
editors express themselves as highly in
dienant, and indicate q cOmmendable
self sacrificing disposition and patriot
ism; being willing TO be advanced to
some high position in the government
with no other end in view than to kick
up row with band of Indians and en-
dure the martyrdom Of government
official! Of course they would expect
to hear the war cry OF determination
even above the fiendish yolls Of the
ghosts of Capt. Wrisht's massacred No
does. We cannot believe that the mss
sacrc of Canby's party demonstrates the
failure of the peace policy any more than
have the outragcs on private citizens,
and have no particular desire to lie
Modocked or Cheyenned as a general Of
plcbeian in the cause merely that editors
NAV have thin excuse for abandoning
their position.

iO3ey Stringency.

Tho money market East is easing up,
and the crisis may be substantially over
tor the present, to be- renewed again
about the inc for the movement ut the
present years crop arrives.
We have little sympathy with the Va.
rous remedies suggcsted-the only Ct
fective one is to always keep out Of
debt.
As long as gold, or any other metal,
is the standard of the worlds values,
just so long will this condition Of affairs
exist. Halt dozen monied institutions
and houses control the finances Of the
world, and will do so as long rs
The world pays interest or usury tor n
thing Of no intrinslc value. A per cent.
paid annually on dollar will soon
make it two, and without any return in
value.
OF course, this doctrine and this talk,
even il INDUCED in by the press Of the
whole country, will do no good-but
the world is moving gradually on TO a
different system of exchanging commod-
tiles than through the medium Of
piece of metal which has no intrinsic
worth, and by which any man with ca
pacity to swing "a pick ma? become the
arbiter ola nations prosperity.

MCPHERSON RAILROADS.

From a correspondent at Mcpherson
Center, We have the following particu-
lars of the great railway meeting held
there last Saturday: The meeting was
called in order to quell n feeling Of dis
content, which has been growing among
the farmers ofccntral, eastern and south
ern parts of the county, because the Re-
publican, Salina & Arkansas Valley Rail-
rosd merely cut across the northeastern
part Of the county. There were many
explanations to DO made AMI the trac
railway situation explsincd.
The meeting was organized at 2 P. NJ
by Mr.. Bowkers taking the chair. He
called upon Hon. 7. <. Simpson, repre-
sentative from Mcpherson county in the
legislature, who responded in lengthy,
exhaustive speech concerning railway
affairs in the county. He demonstrate
ed to the citizens present, tina; the rca-
son they could not have the r. S. & A.
v. r. Il. pass through the county in a
north and south air line was because the
company would not build the road IN
any direction except the one surveyed.
He told them tina, while his interests in
Mcpherson Center were rs great, If not
greater, than any other persons, that he
could not but sustain the present scheme.
More than the sustenauce guaranteed
to the K S. & A. v. r. r, he desired to
have = road cross the county diagonally
passing through the Center, and that the
best thing to be done, was TO hasten this
new line to completion.
When Mr.. Simpson finished his re-
marks, Mr.. Jackson, of Ellsworth, was
called. He gave his exhibit Of what
had been accomplished by corrcspon-
