THE IMPENDING WAR.

AS between Russia and Turkey the
lapse of negotiations on the part of the
several Powers seems to be interpreted
as the failure of the peacemallers, and
great and energetic preparations for
immediate war HOW fill that place III
public attention which was lately filed
with the notes of the governments and
the projects of the Conference. Russia,
Judging by the news we have publish
ed direct from the cam p at X ishene1f,i is
prepared to overwhelm her adversary.
She is ready to cross the bruth at any
fno,nent with an army Of two hundred
thousand men,and perhaps only awaits
the season of settled whether. Behind
this first army will, OF course, follow
another of equal proportions at such y
delay only as the possible resistance to
be encountered by the first line may
make necessary. In addition to the
movement of this force in Europe she
will undoubtedly move an army from
the Caucasus into Armenia, occupying
Erzeroum and Yrebizont., >;,nd thus OK
tending her limits on the Black Sea,
coast and securing sort Of back door
way to ConstlntinOplc. Against all
this there is no probability that the
Porte can oppose an effective resistance.
Turkey is abl;,ze with an enthusiastic
war spirit, which will strengthen the
government in the degree to which il
can be kept within limits. This is all
awkward condition to be imposed up
on heroic frenzy. How can wild war
riors from Asia, whose very cohesion
rs /, force and whose impulse in battle
depends upon IL kind Of passionate faith
i'll the justice Of their cause, be requested
to moderate their frenzy without DIES
troying their value us troops: All the
advantage the Suitan's government de-
rived from the funutical courage of its
soiuicry in the war with Serviu was
far more than countcrvaiicd by the
harm that came to it through the en-
c,sses they committed eXcesses which
were as much II part of their enthus;a sin
Is was their courage in battle. Tur-
key cannot meet Russia. without Il re-
petition Of the crimes that have al
ready excited Europe against her. But
this time they will lie wasted butche-
ries. They viii not arrest the march OF
the Russians, they will only make ii
more impossible tor Turkey to obtain
allies. Thus the armies of the Gar will
be left to solve those problems which
the Conference failed to solve throug h
the insane obstinacy of the Moslcms.--

THE RELIEF.s
LETTER FROM CAPT Hills.

.-, s~ BIGELOW,Jan -, 1877.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Please allow me
to say through the columns Of your val
liable paper that I was not aware aof
the fact that the relief business OF the
Third Commissioner District had been
put into the hands Of Commissioners A.
T.. Robinson until L saw a statement to
that effect in the Journal of: last week.
!: The law makes it the duty of County
Commissioners to provide for people
who are destitute, and it does not make
any distinction as to which district in
the county the applicant resides in, nor
to which one Of them the application
shall be made. =" ''&:
Any one of the County Commission
ers is authorized to furnish relief to de-
serving applicants and to draw on the
County Treasurer for that purpose to
the amount of $50 for each one, if in
his own judgment the occasion requires
it.
1t is clearly the duty Of either one Of
the Commissioners to provide for such
cases at the expense of the county,
when no other means is provided,) aud
it should be done In such 4 way as to
cause the applicant the least possible
annoyance and expense.
There are supposed to be very few in
the Third District who will require aid
during the present winter. Some of
those who do require it, can get to Wor-
thingtOn more easily than to Bigelow,
and it is very natural that persons so
situated should prefer to make their APP
plication there. Mr.. Robinson kindly
assured me that he. would provide for
them, and this, IsuHposed, not because
the business of this District had been
turned over to him, but simply for the
reason that the law and the common
dictates of humanity required him to do
so. AT the same time, parties who pre-
fer to come here for relief, will find me
always ready to provide for them to the
full extent of my ability.
And here allow me to say that the
county is ut the present time almost en-
tirely destitute OF funds that can be ap-
piled in that way and it is not the pur-
pose Of the County Commissioners to
furnish anything more than temporary
relief, and that only in extreme cases.
Where parties are entirely destitute, we
propose to furnish about ten days. IA
tons. This will furnish them with
subsistence until their names can be
sent on to our most excellent Governor
Pillsbury and the necessary supplies can
be forwarded from st. Paul. consigned
to each applicant separately at his near
est railroad station.
Parties who require clothing should
send with their application statement
OF the age and sex of each child, as
clothing could not be selected under
standby without it. E.. S. MILLS,
Commissioner Third District.

THE BLACK HILLS.

Our fellow-townsmen II. J. Grant
and Henry Davis are preparing to make
trip to the Black Hills as soon as
Spring opens: They propose taking
several teams with loads of goods. 80"
Major Newson, Of st. Paul, has re.
Gently returned from the Hills and has
been interviewed by Dispatch report.
er. The Major says he does not advise
young men of good prospects to go there
but he thinks young men with nothing
to do can find work there at good wages.
The Hills he believes to be rich in
gold and silver, and thinks they will
soon be as noted in this respect as Ne
vada and California. Capt. Nichols
says lie can pay the national debt out
of the mines in five years. The Major
thinks 100, 900 people will 60 there mex:
Spring and that in ten years the Hills
will have a population Of 100000. He
says st. Paul must favor the Sioux City
route.
Mr.. T. Thorson, Of Sioux City,
who was in town the other day, informs
us that there is a good prospect of the
narrow-gauge road from Sioux City be.
ing pushed through to the Hills. This
road will pass through the Niobrara
country, thus opening up to the region
south Of us a new lumber supply and
also, it is said, some rich coal fields.
If times were not so dreadfully dull, we
should expect to see the narrow-gauge
pushed through to the Hills ut once.
However, few years will see not only
that road but others built to the Black
Hills.

to the class of liars, except the editors.

THE TOLEDO PAPERS.

Consolidation is the order of the day.
The Pioneer-Press centres in itself al
most the whole daily newspaper bust
ness of Minnesota. And now the daily
Toledo Blade and Commercial have
been consolidated under one manage
ment, and that management is DR.. A.
z. Miller, one of the founders of the
National Colony. The Commercial has
been moved into the Blade building and
will still be issued in the morning, while
the Blade continues as an evening pa
per. This gives the firm entire control
OF the associated press dispatches at
Toledo and virtually of the newspaper
buriness Of that city. Whatever a few
little men about Wortllington may say
Or think, there is no doubt about one
fact, viz: that DR.. Miller, during the
past year, has achieved the greatest tri-
unph of his life. lie is now in possess
sion not only Of the Weekly Blade, with
Il circulation of about 10000, but also
of the daily Blade and Commercial, and
the foundation is laid for greater sue
cess than he ever dreamed of.
Dewitt Talmage recently preached 4
sermon on editors, III which he said
that there are no harder worked men
upon the earth, than the newspaper men
of this country, and that he is inclined
to forgive them if they write things
they shouldn't write, because their
hardships and exasperations are so
great" He said:
| But tile business of newspapers is to
report facts, and sometimes facts re-
veal the depravity of human nature us
we'll as it's virtues. It is not the func.
ton of an editor to make fl cts or to ig-
more them. He must take them as
they are, avoiding in their publication
whatever merely tends to provoke i'm
morality or to crafty 4 morbid appe-
lite. The responsibility of what all ed
it0r publishes is divided between him
and his readers"
Yet in some places, especially in small
frontier towns, if he publishes unpleas.
ant facts lie is held responsible for the
facts themselves. For instance, if he
publishes accounts of violence or theft
in the community, the men who com.
NIT the violence or theft are excused
and petted. while the editor who mere.
ly reports what is done is treated as
though he were himself the criminal.
There is a man residing in Freeb0rn
county, a well-to-do farmer, who has
seven unmarried daughters, and he de.
clares that so long as he has possession
of his'reason, lie will never give his con.
sent to the marriage of one of them to a
man who lists tobacco, or one who fire.

The Rey. DR.. Kennar thinks "there

Not so, Brother Kennard. Refinement
is good thing in a church, as we'll as
elsewhere. Namby-pambyism is bad,
but not real refinement. However, we
agree with him when he says that refine
ment cannot he substitute for an earn

people are very bad, the worse and the
more dangerous because they deck their
wickedness with the shining but cloak
ing robe of refinement, and thus deceive
the simple. Refinement is not good
ness but it is a fair garniture for the i'll.
trinsic virtues. Still we do not wish to
discourage Brother Kennard in his as.
