BLACK WALNUT.-It is stated that the sup
ply of his wood, of late years so much used for
nice cabinet work and house finishing, is not
more than sufficient for the probable demand
of the next ten years, and within few years
of its value being discovered The wood is almost
extinct. Indiana produces the best specimens
of the wood. Before it came into such gener-
al use it was made to do duty as fence rails in
that state, its durable qualities making it es-
pecially valuable for that purpose. Good wal
nut is found also in Kentucky and Western
Ohio That obtained in other regions is of in
ferior quality. The wood is not used so lavish
ly in present times as 1t was when it first be-
came popular, 1000 feet being made to go as far
again as it did few years ago. Where ve-
neering can be used it is rare that the solid
wood is worked I'D,

THE KANSAS FANINE.-The Chicago Tri-
bune asserts that the reports of suffering in
Kansas from the grasshopper ravages have
been grossly exaggerated for the purpose of
working upon the sympathies and pockets of
charitable people in the Middle and Eastern as
well as the Western states. The Kansas Legis-
lature, in extra session, authorized all the
county boards to issue and sell bonds for the
relief of the people, so as to enable them to
put in their winter crops and obtain seed for
their spring sowing, but only one county,
Reno, availed itself of this privilege, and that
county, through the Operations of ring of
spectators, had already issued bonds to an
amount exceeding the selling value of the prop
erty in the county. In addition to this, it is a
notorious fact that Kansas is full of cattle,
fodder, grain and fruits of all kinds. It's farm
ers were never better of financially than now.
Notwithstanding this nothing has been done
in the state toward relieving itself

Current Notes.

1t must be wel-spring of joy to all the
Democratic reformers in the land that Igna-
titus Donnelly, the champion demagogue of
the northwest, is taken by the Democracy OF
Minnesota as their choice for United States
senate.-Hartord Coawant.
An ounce of prevention is, however, worth
a pound of cure, and the best way to avoid fu-
ture trouble is to make the unrepentant rebels
of the Gulf states see that white leagues, po-
litical intolerance, and the murder of white
and black Republicans are outrages not to be
tolerated. A weak-backed, do-Dothing policy
would be hardly less fatal in 1875 than it was
in 1S60.-Cincin1ak Gazette.
Henry Wilson is right. This is no time
for party manipulation, discipline or trickery,
but for independent manhood. Whether the
Republican party as such can survive the
blows its friends and enemies have conspired
to administer, time will demonstrate. This
at least, is certain. We can with thoughtful
courage conserve its principles and deserve its
prosperity.-Boston Transcript.
Mr.. Schurz knew well enough that he
was not at heart a modern Democrat. He
knew that nine-tenths of that party in Mis-
souri, would never have the confidence in him
which they instinctively feel for the men of
this Cockerell stamp, whom Schurz had to
fight in the great struggle. He knew, on
the other hand, that he aras in sympathy
with the grand purpose of the Republican
party-its devotion to equal rights and its re-
solve to realize the three last amendments OF
the constitution. He knew that one or the
other of these two parties must prevail in
this country and determine its policy. We
say he must know all this, for it's obvious to
every ordinary man who keeps his mind open
to every day nfuences.-Boston Journal.
1t is a cause for congratulation that we are
free from the religious politics which form
the staple of discussion in Europe. Imagine
ourselves in their place; the Hon. Ben. But
Ter delivering one Of his characteristic speech
es on rotary eldership; the Hon. Matt. Car

President Grant deciding the epscopate ques-
tions in Illinois and Iowa; lot of rusty, an

fession of faith! And yet that is the way

While it would have been better if the full
committee had visited New Orleans in the
first place, it is well that it has decided to do
so at this late day. If the Louisiana ques-
tion is ever to be settled intelligently and cor
rectly, it should receive the most thorough
investigation. If the subcommittee is entire
ly correct it will only add weight to their
report to have it Endorsed by the full commit
tee. If in any respect they were influenced
by ex-parte evidence that will appear. Mr..
Geo. F. Hoar and the other members of the
committee stand too high to be accused of
any unworthy motives in deciding to make
further inquiry before acquiescing in all the
findings of their subcommittee.

EVERY regular attache Of the PRESS is furnished
with Card certificate countersigned by Stanley T.
Pullen, Editor. All railway, steamboat and hotel
managers will confer a favor upon us by demanding
credentials of every person claiming to represent

sively, party to such frauds.

THE apparently Insignificant affair of Pod
goripza, which was telegraphed by cable
some weeks since, has assumed portentous
proportions and dispute between peasants in
a small village of the principality of Montene-
gro bids fair to kindle general war in Eu-
rope. 1t is charged that the Sultan is guilty
of bad faith in not punishing his subjects
who have been found guilty of massacreing
the Montenegrin Christians. The great pow
ers who demanded the trial of offenders by
international tribunal will be likely to insist
upon compliance with their demands, and
Russia, the acknowledged protector of Mon
tenegro, will gladly seize so plausible pre-
text to reopen the eastern Question"

THE president of the statistical office at
Berlin says that the five millards paid by
France has not Unidentified Germany for the

nation by fifty years. Well, we are ready to
be advanced another half century.

In excluding George Q. Cannon from a
seat as Delegate in the House of Representa-
tives Congress deserves praise. 1t is a mani
fest absurdty to admit an avowed polygamist
to seat in a boky which may have to legislate
upon just that question. 1t is said however
that the Mormons entertain no apprehension
of adverse legislation. Their objects of fear
are not Congressman but milliners. Fash
ion is weakening their women in the true
faith faster than laws are their men. The
opening of railroads brings hundreds of we'll
dressed women to Salt Lake City every year,
and their fashionable costumes are working
destruction to the church. The Mormon
women clamor for just as nice dresses, and
express a very poor opinion of religious sys-
TEN which doesn't provide for or az least tol-
crate "nobby" attire. The Mormon elders
are aghas., for no man they say, unless he
owns shares in the great silver bonanza can
afford to dress twenty wives in the latest
New York fashions.
