Judge KelIey-in-- his-speGeh-at-
Youngstown on Saturday gave the
following definition and iEstal1ce-of
Radical reputation. We commend
his remark to the ever faithful or
CANS of this State:
The first act, in the nature of re-
pudiation touching this money, was
enacted at the instance of the bull
lionists ard bonGholders Of tie coun-
try. 1t was the act that deprived
the American holder Of grccnLacks Of
the right to convert them into six
per cent government bonds. Had
that act not been passed, the green
backs issued would probably never
have reached half the volume they
did. For the Government receiving
the paper il exchange for bonds
would have reissued it, and It would
have saved US from the cunning de-
vices of bondholders-Scven-thirtieS
and compound interests notes-by
which they got larger interest and
bound the Government to redeem
these classes of Its obligations ut the
end Of three years.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Charleston,
has this to say Of the Valley and her
coal:
The coal interests in the Kanawha
Valley seems to be in fair condition.
There is much inquiry from North
ern and English capitalists for coal
lands. This class Of property isslogz
ly approaching in value, but is no
where near the Pennsylvania figure.
This cannot always be 50. The Ka-
nawha Valley has a glorious future
before it. 1t is one of the best, ifnot
the best coal fields in the United
States. Development is slow, but
time is required to turn the channel
Of attention to a new field. Penn
sylvania has had a monopoly Of the
coal supply for the Mississippi Val
ley so long that we almost consider
it a matter Of course.
The Kanawha field now has two
outlcts-down the river to Gincin-
natl, and beyond and eastward over
the railroad 10 Virginia and the
coast. I'll the coal | saw moving
over the road was going east. The
Chesapeake and Ohio road gets over
the mountains with an easier grade
than any Of its rivals. 1t can put
coal into Richmond and Norfolk
cheaper than it can be done from 9th
er sources. Upon the line of the road
the other day. saw one engine pull
ing train Of fortv-nine cars-at good
speed.
The future supply of coal Tor Gin
cinnati is in the kanawha Valley
1t is ycrymuch nearer than thePitts--
burgh fields, and the quantity is pos
sibly inexhaustiblc.

On, Stanley, On!

When STANLEY at the direction of
JAMES GORDON BENNETT plunged in
to the African forest to search for DIR.
LIVINGSTON the world applauded his
heroism, and the journalists congratu-
lated themselves that the "Space con-
sumner" the "Theory builder'-would
have one less subject to dilate upon.
LIVINGSTONE was found, lost, and
found again, and Mr.. STANLEY regret
ing the service he had done the pro-
fession resolved to lose himself. In
November 1874 he departed from Zan-
zibar for the interior of Africa. Since
that time he has been exploring the
country around the great lakes that
are the sources of the Nile. Now
comes to the outer world two letters
from Mr.. STANLEY, giving an account
of his explorations. These are dated
at some village that has most fright
full name--a name that suggests hor-
r0r anC deStructlOn-a name that re-
quires all the vowels and about half
the consonants in our alphabet to
spell. After passing through an AZ
rican village with such a name it will
not be long before the world will be-
gin to trouble itself seriously about
the fate of the journalist and explorer.

Another Chinese War.

Prince Ii HUNG CHANG who now
has absolute control overthe Chinese
government is sanguinary soldier,
and heartily displeases the foreigners
resident in the Orient. 1t is undoubt-
edly his policy to foment discord be-
tween the natives and the Europeans,
and at an early day expel the white
race from Chinese territory. The
mandarins Of course are enlisted with
the Prince, and the late attack upon
both the American and British con-
sulates by the mob prove that the
people have received intimation of the
new policy, and are eager 40 inauger-
ate it at once. The British Govern
ment does not tolerate an outrage up
on its citizens in any quarter of the
globe, and will at any time spend mil
lions OF money to avenge an Insult to
its accredited representatives. That
England is unwilling to pass over the
ASSCht oltoCh pun hCA CououidtC ID cN-
idsnt by the active movements now
going on. Her fleet in Chinese wa
ters is being reinforced, and her atti-
tude is growing more hostile. 1t is
not improbable that Ii HUNG deems
his countrymen prepared for great
struggle. They are provided with the
most approved impliments of modern
warfare and we'll instructed in their
use; and, if they could be brought up
to the necessary condition of pluck by
intense hatred of the "foreign barbar.
ian," with their vast numbers and
great resources, the contest will be
more evenly balanced than formerly.
The Chinese Empire though not able
to actually repel an English invasion,
can beyond question make stronger
resistance than during the last Anglo
Chinese struggle.

OF the new minister Of tile NJ. e.
church of this city the California
Christian ddvdcate has the following
complimentary notice.
Rev. G. Hicky, being introduced.
delivered fine address on the harmO-
ny of "Science and Religion" The
speaker argued that there was not the
least conflict between true science and
the religion taught in the Bible. The
seeming antagonism was never real.
There might not always be perfect
agreement between science on the in
terpretations of Gods word which the
church may have given. We must
discriminate between revelation and
mans interpretations of it-between
religion and superstitutiOn. Science
is the handmade of true religion. II
never hinders, but always aids in III a.
king known the wisdom, goodness
and greatness of God.
The illustrations employed by the
speaker were wonderfully apt and well
put. His style was sparkling, his i'm.
agry beautiful, and his oratory fervid.
Altogether the address was of u supe-
rior character, and was received with
great favor. Mr.. Hickey is a young
man of rare gifts as speaker.

The roads from the Atlantic seaboard
to Omaha charge less for overland
freight than for any other, and the
people of the Pacific slope get the benz
eft of this, though the goods do not
come through as quickly as is desira-
BILE. On the Union and Central Paci-
fic, freight was transported more rap
idly than on any roads in the country.
There could be no restriction from
present figures, Mr.. STANFORD said,
because the rate was now the cheap
est in the world considering the dis
tance and the heavy grading, and the
passenger rate was equally reasonable.
Regarding the Southern Pacific, the
President said work would be pushed

present, one widow who had Just
emerged from her weeds, the other
not long married, whose husband had

A young barrister present was deter

Unfortunately he was under the i'm
preston that his partner was the mar
ried lady whese husband had just ar
rived in India. The conversation be-

remarking how hot it was. "Yes, it
is very hot" returned the young bar
rister. Then happy thought sug-

with a cheerful smile. "But not so
hot as the place to which your hus-
band has gone" The look with
which the young lady answered this
"happy thought" will haunt that un-
