The Indian Problem Being Solved.

A dispatch from Cheyenne says !:
''The arrival of General Merrjtt's COM
mand at Red Cloud yesterday signal
lied the closing up of the Big Horn
and Yellowstone campaign, which will
be succeeded by the Powder river ex-
petition, consisting Of fifteen com.
panies of infantry Of the 18th regiment
with four companies of the I'd and Sd,
which have not been in the summer
campaign. All are fresh troops, and
will be commanded by General Crook
in person. The 5th cavalry will have
it's winter headquarters at Fort Russell,
General Merritt in command the Sd
goes to Fort Laramie; ten companies
will remain at Red Cloud.
''Spotted Tail was formally INSTALL
ed chief of the Sioux nation by virtue
of the authority of the President, and
was as such accepted by all the In
dams ut the agency.
''The capture made by General Mer.
rift consists of 500 Indians, 700 ponies
and large number of arms-the last
two named to be disposed of at auc.
ton on the I'd of November at Fort
Laramie. The moral effect of this de-
cisive policy is wholesome, and peace
promised to prevail at the agencies.

Dubuque Revenue Frauds.

The verdict of over $l0Q, 900 in the
United States circuit court at Des Moines
against J. A. Rhomburg, of Dubuque, tor de-
frauding the revenue by illicit distillation of
whisky, and the tact that other suits for $780,
200 more are pending, in which the result
will probably be the same as in the first, cree

bondsmen at Dubuque. Rhomburg has been
considered one of the wealthiest men of the
city, and his friends consider him t'more
sinned against than sinning.' He has been a
liberal, public spirited man, and his fate ex-
cites good deal Of sympathy.

"A HANDSOME MAN Is THE ORNAMENT OF:
HIS OWN HOUSE."

While was reading this legend our
friend came in. He is as tall and as
sad-eyed as ever. The unequal dispo.
sition of flesh upon his face, which is
pulpy in places, and lean in others,
tells of the struggle for supremacy that
is going on between his tissues be-
tween the fat-producing beer and the
fat.destroying tobacco. The tobacco
appears to be getting the better of the
beer.

The Methodist Church North and South are
United.


United.
A large number of Methodist min
listers and laymen representatives Of both the
Southern and Northern branches of the
church, held three meetings in Louisville,
KY, on the 25th, looking towards the form
alton and establishment Of feelings more fra
ternal between the sections Of their denom-
ination than have prevailed since 1874. In
that year, during the session of the national
conference at the Methodist Episcopal church
in Louisville, differences that grew partly
out of the slavery question caused division
ofthe Methodist church into two branches
which, during the war, became known as the
Northern and Southern. Two years ago the
conference Of the Southern branch, while in
session at Louisville, took steps looking to
church union. Nothing was definitely &C.
complished. This year at Baltimore the
Northern branch also endeavored to bring
about positive understanding OF feeling be-
tween tho two divisions, and now so far as a
union In sentiment Of purpose and brotherly
love are concerned, the two churches are in
Union. At the meeting in Louisville, repre-
sentatives Tor the Northern and Southern di-
visions, including Bishop Foster, of Massa-
chusetts, and Bishop Kavanagh, ofKentu ky,
delivered addresses thanking God that the
aforesaid union has been brought about after
thirty two years of separation Of the largest
ecclesiastical denomination in the United
States.

Woman's Temperance Work,

near Ellentown."
Woman's Temperance Work,
The Woman's National Christian
Temperance Union has lately been in session
at Newark, N. j., with about 200 delegates
from the western and other States. Miss
Wizards report for the year sets forth that
there are organizations of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Association in 2
States. Miss Wallace, Of Indiana, made q
speech, as did also Mrs. Lthrop, of Michi-
gan, and Mrs. Leavitt, of Cincinnati. They
generally favor arbitrary measures to sup
press saloons. Resolutions were submitted
on Juvenile work, the lecture bureau and
Bible wines. A long discussion took place
on resolution pledging the members of the
convention to abstain from partaking of fer
mented wine at the communion service.
Germany's Foreign Policy.
In the opening of the German Reich.
stag, the emperor, in his speech, expressed
determination in future commercial nego-
tiations with foreign nations to protect Ger
man industries from the prejudicial effects of
one-sided custom regulations in other coun-
ee.ies. In ether words the emperor proposes
that if the United States and other nations
who hold to like policies, insist upon placing
a tax upon the introduction Of German man
utactures within their respective jurisdictions,
Germany shall hereafter retaliate in kind. A
similar disposition has recently developed
among English statesmen. and the American
manufacturers who insist upon the protection
OF their wares are in fair way of being
"hoist with their own petard.'
Cooling off In the European War Feeling.
Since the publication of our, last Eu.
ropean complications have assumed a differ
EFT aspect. Russia has offered Turkey an ul-
timatum which Germany endorsed, and Tur-
key has signifed willingness to accept its
terms. The first condition is six weeks
armistice. Meanwhile fighting continued be-
tween the opposing forces OF Turkey and
Servia, with results greatly in favor of the
former. There is great suffering in Servia,
threatening starvation. A financial crisis is
impending in Russia and Austria Altogether
the prospects of an immediate war are greatly
lessened, and it seems to be most generally
regarded as probable that in case of war Rus
STA and Turkey will do the fighting.

Is there my rulc for tho weight Of

ference in weight between green timber
and dry timberl Answer. 1t would be
impossible to answer these questions
