THE ARGUS had no intention or desire to
do injustice to Col. Flagler or to any enc
else. Our Moline editor gave the item
from the best information he could obtain
from those who were supposed to known
about the matter. THE ARGUS thought
that Col Flagler was entirely correct and
that it was creditable in him to refuse to
use up property owned by all the people
of the United States for a partizan pur-
pose And THE ARGUS thinks 50 now
The people Of the south helped to pay for
the powder as well as those ofthe north. 1t
is their property as we'll as ours. They
have right to say what it shall be used
for as we'll as we. and it is not right to de
stroy their property, without their consent
for any such purpose. The decorating of
graves is voluntary matter. People who
choose to indulge in it have perfect right
to 90 scat their own expense, not at the
expense of those who do not approve of
the partiZan manner in which it
is done in the north. This whole business
of decorating graves was started by parti-
zans for a party purpose-by men who
would never have thought of decorating
the graves Of our revolutionary soldiers
who gained for us our liberties; or of the
soldiers of 1912 who reestablished free
trade and sailors rights" or of the soldiers
of the Mexican war who carried our
flag to the Pacific and gave us our wonder
full possessions on that coast. Those who
started it were such men as plowed down
and ob!iterated the graves on Rock Island
of 1000 of their own mistaken and mis-
guided cOuutrymen. who were just as
patriotic in their mistaken course as those
who lie buried near them. The grave
should obliterate all distinctions. and ii
does in the south. There the people
decorate all alike If it is Col Flagler'
purpose to use up the property of all the
people for any such partizan purpose, the
principle is wrong, and he is assuming a
position which can not be successfully de-
Tended Let those who like partizau
performance pay for it with their own
money-not with money which belongs to
others. Col. Flagler has no right to be
generous" with other peoples money.

CROSSING THE DESERT, is generally an
eveutful episode in life; whether it be as
pilgrim to worship the prophets shrine at
Mecca, or as part OF caravan of
merchants. The danger of the destructive
SIMEON, attacks of predatory robbers and
the agony of dying from thirst are dissi
pated on reaching one of those gardens of
the desert, an oasis. Partaking of that
which recuperates, they meet their future
difficulties with recruited strength and re.
newed energies. So with modern life.
dangers from disease threaten all humani
ty, but if We make use of remedy which
alleviates acute attacks of sickness, thus
preventing their becoming chronic, we
shall realize that necessary rest and re
treshment in travelling life's desert which
has been discovered in the Home Stomach
Bitters.

The telegraph brings the sad intelli.
gence that Mr.. j. G. AVER, the patent
medicine man, has lost his reason and has
gone TO an asylum. Here is another q.
yantic intellect overthrown. The human
heart naturally looked to Mr.. AVER. for
cherry pectorsl and the gently persua-
sive pill, and il cannot contemplate with
squsnimlty the ruin of that sanative and
alternative intelligence. There must be
something uery wearing to the cerebral
and nervous tissues in the patent medi.
cine business. Now there was HELM
BOLD. Every scarped cliff and railroad
fence recorded his name and that of his

The Turkish Question.

BERLIN, June THE Istok, the or.
yan of the Servian Cabinet, declares war
unavoidable now; that Turkey had tn
umphed, and the programme ofths north
ern powers has been rejected. :.
The official Russian Lnratidc says that
the Insurgents are not likely to accept
the arm,stice. Considerable unessiness
has been created here by the
sudden return of Bismarck for
the pro,rscted conferences with
the Emperor's uHessiness is increased by
the announcement that the Emperor's
departure for Ems is postponed. Rumor
connects these events with certain ex
sgoersted claims made in Germany for
support by Russia in her Eastern policy,
which Bismarck, it is reported, is not in
cliued to sanction. The Cologne Gazette
and Berlin Tribune deprecate too close
adherence to the views Of Russia
RAausA, June 7.--Prince Ksrsgeorge-
vics' legion, defeated the Turks near
Csrkoviko, Bosnia, on the Srd OF June,
Killing l6O men. On the following day
= 500 Turks capilulated. Many insurg-
ents have petitioned Austria to grant
them the asylum of Alleguy and that if
,hsy are refused they are in danger OF
starvation. ..+
PANS June THE Chevelier RigrA
the newly appointed ambassador OF Italy
to ST. Petersburg, has arrived at Ems.
He had long conference with Prince
Gortschkoff. 1t is believed that he has .
mission IN harmony with the policy OF
England, and that Gortschkoff will ac-
cept the basis thereby proposed.
The Russian and English ambassadors
in Paris had q long conference to-day.
1t Is stated that the result is satisfactory.
The armistice granted BY the Sui
tan is due 10 the consuls Of European
powers who simultaneously Instructed
their representatives to promote me
maintenance of peace. There is no In
tsutaon at present 10 convenean Euro
psan congress. slti expected that the
povers vin consider themselves relieved
from further responsibilities in coLse-
quencs Of granting the armstice BY the
Porte, and will permit Turks TO deal
with the Insurgents If the latter refuse TO
acospt the armstice.

Tax impression prevailing that the
Centennial Exhibition is incomplete. and
that therefore, persons should defer vis-
iting 1t, is great mistake. Some of the
departments, we believe, are slightly un-
finished, but we imagine there is quite
enough now to be seen to occupy the
time and attention of anyone who pays
tia visit. 1t is conceded by everybody
ths, in vastness aud grandeur it far out
strips any similar exhibition the word
ever saw, and the is conceded that not
only days but weeks will be required to
thoroughly explore its wonders. The
facilities for reaching the centennial
grounds are such that our citizens who
inten to seeit should not fail to avail
themselves Of q speedy visit.

The people of the State, without dis
tinction of party, will regret to learn
that Hon. JOHN 8. HOFFMAN has been
compelled by continued i'll health to re.
sign his seat as one of the Judges Of the
Supreme Court of Appeals. He has been
justly regarded as a very learned, pure
and conscientious judge, and has many
warm friends who will sympathize with
him in his sickness, while they deplore
the loss suffered by the State in being de-
prived of his services upon the bench.
He carries with him, in his retirement,
the good wishes of all who know his
ability as jurist and his many amiable
qualities as q gentleman. The following
letter will explain the cause of his resig.
natior.
CLARKsBURa, w. Va, June. 1876
Twas much grstified at my election to
the Supreme Bench, but the demands Of
private business that could not be ne
elected without serious sacrifice, have
been such that my health, before effected
BY my wound, has become 50 much im.
paired that do not feel that can per-
form the duties of the office in such
mauner as is due to the public, and the
members of the court, and l know that
l cannot perform them satisfactorily To
e'f-though had earnestly hoped to
be able to do so-till the end OF the term
for which l was elected. l have, there
fore, resigned the Office.
As many kind inquiries have been
made personally, and conflicting state
ments have been made in the newspapers
as to wheh er / deserved or would accept

response.
While speaking on this subject, l may
the allowed to acknowledge the uniform
courtesy of the many enlightened mem
bers of the bar, who have practiced in the
court, and the cordial and harmonious i'll
tercourse of my brethren of the coart,
and to express my qualification to the
numerous friends who have urged me to
remain on the bench.
