MR. TUURB1NS COMPLAINT

Senator Thurman, in his speech the other
day at Cleveland, complained with some feel
ing that the campaign was not being conducted
by the Republicans in the way he would like
ave defeated them last year." he states in
effect, "by talking of their corruptions and
misnanagcment. We should prefer to do the
"same thing this year the same way. But in
"sead of entering into this arrangement. they
care attacking us on our financial platform
"and making believe that this is the great
issue of the campaign" This does not suit
Mr.. Thurman at all, as he happens to believe
with the Republicans and against the Demo-
Gratis on that issue, and so lie makes a
heroic effort to change the subject of con-
versation, and stir up the public mind to
the enormity of Postmaster Edmunds's con-
duct, in passing around the hat among Admin
istration olliceholders. This in his opinion
ought to induce every well disposed citizen
10 vote for Allen and initiation. Or if any
other reason is needed there are the hard times;

Advices from California indicate quick
rebound from the late depression in financial
circles. The prospect of the resumption of the
Bank Of California seems to be accepted as
verify by the more hopeful part of the COM
munity, and there are many who believe that
in any event the deposltors of the Bank will
not suffer loss. The Merchants Exchange
Bank has actually opened its doors again, and

throughout were not very serious, but the in

We have been set generation ahead ia our investi

However difficult the Board of Aldermen
may find it to agree on the subject of Rapid
Transit, they will not If they at all consult
the wishes of the public, interfere with Its
progress. We may now soon expect the de-
cision of the Commissioners, selecting the
route and plan, and then there must be no
red-tape obstacles to prompt beginning OF
the work itself. An interesting letter from the
Hon. Samuel B. Ruggles shows the need of
the road on both sides of the city, and COM
muncates many noteworthy facts respecting the
growth and movement of population in the
wards above FOurtecnth-st.

very clear notion of the cost OF proceed
ings in bankruptcy can be formed from the
report of Kenneth G.. White Master Commits
sioner in the case of the Northern Pacific Rail
road. Thus far an expense of nearly $15O,OOO

that claims to about that amount for legal

correct. 1t seems like rather costly method,

The conference of Virginians to be held in
this city to-day has most worthy object. They
are anxious to bring before the people of the
North the real condition of their State; to
have the advantages it offers fairly appreci-
ated, and to encourage emigration thither.
They ask only that we should look at their
fertile valleys; see what has been done in
supplying schools and colleges and churches !;
ascertain whether society there consists of
" bushwhackers" or respectable. intelligent fam
lies; and then judge for ourselves whether
the cheap farms of Virginia need go begging
for purchasers or be sold to the tax-gatherers

Despite the general depression of business
since the panic, there has been steady i'm
provement in the iron business during the
present year, and it was stated in THE TRIB-
uNE last Spring that Pittsburgh was producing
more than its average amount of manufac-
tured metal. The statistics of the American
Iron and Steel Association now indicate that
the production of the whole country during
the past year was equal to that of previous
years. The consumption of iron and steel has
exceeded the general estimate

Senator Morton held forth to the Republican
masses yesterday at mammoth clam bake on
the shore of Maine. But neither the freshness
of the sea air nor the hot juices OF the
quahaugs elected from the Senator anything
new or startling. 1t was the same old story
which we have so often heard, about the
services of the Republican party in the war
and the necessity Of protecting the negro from
the KuKlux by keeping the present rulers in
power at Washington.

Great praise is fairly due TO the people of
Georgia and especially to Judge Herschel v.
johnson, AttOrneyGeneral Hammond, and the
Hon. A. X. Akerman, for the fairness with
which the trial of the negro conspirators has
been conducted. 1t shows that in that State,
even at time of great public excitement,
justice can be fully and fairly melted out,
though the prisoner in the dock be negro
chayged with conspiring for the death of white
citizens. The acquittal of Corday Harris in the
absence of conclusive testimony against him,
and the discharge of many of the other prison
ers, will give general satisfaction to every
body except the politicians who have no faith
in the native Southern white man.

The unknown founder of the American Col
lege of Music has offered the presidency of tho
proposed institution to NJ. Charles Gounod,
and the distinguished composer of Faust"
has declined it in an interesting letter which
we are permitted to publish this morning. NJ.
GounOd hopes an American will be appointed
to the place. We are not certain that his adj
vice in this respect is sound. Art knows no
distinction of nationality, and if the trustees
of the college can find a thoroughly accom-
plished and experienced musician to undertake
the very difficult task of organizing and pre-
siding over their institution, by all means let
them engage him at once without inqulring
where he was born. As we have said before,
money alone will not make a great school of
music If the new college is to be benefit to
the world there must be no mistake in such
vital point as the selection of its director.

Iottumwa Courier, 9Th.

One of the most terrible ARRAYS
that has come to our knowledge for
4 long time, occurred at SUNNI.
station. Van Dufen county. Saturday
afternoon. 1t seems that a couple
of Misunderstanding there by
the name OF Barker, were at the res
idence Of one of them. drinking and
carousing, when ihev became 50 bois-
irons that the family were compelled
to leave the house through fear of
violence. leaving the two men alone
together. They were having things
pretty much their own way, when
they finally fell out and came 10
blows. What all occurred there after
the fuss began, is not definitely
known, but when the wife returned
she found her husband dead npnn
the floor OF his own house with the
whole top OF his head crushed in, the
same as though done with the pole
Of Ratchet, and weltering in his
gore. The alarm was Instantly Civ
en-, and in very short time the
drunken, wretched brother was q
prisoner, and taken TO keosauqua,
where he was safely lodged in Jail.
He acknowledged that he had
been drinking, that they got to quar-
reiing, and that he finally struck his
brother over the head with chair,
knocking him down, but tina; the
whisky he had been drinking was
what had killed him. He utterly de-
MED striking him with Ratchet, al
though that terrible and bloody in
strument was found lying at the muir
dered mans feet. One wound on
the head bore every indication Of
having been made with it.
The men have had the reputation
Of being fair citizens. and our infor-
mant says this is the first trouble
they have ever had, that he knew
any thing about. The feeling against
the murderer is said to be very
strong. but no violence is anticipa-
ted.
The name of the murdered man
was Arnold Baker, and he was a
sort of travelling physician. We un.
derstand that he had not lived at tbs
Summit great while.
