GOVERNOR WILLIAMS, of Indiana,
has appointed Dan W. Voorhees, as
Norton successor in the United States
Senate. This puts Democrat of mod
crate abilities in the place of a Repub-
lican statesman. The appointment is
only a temporary one. until the Legis-
lature shall assemble, which body being
Democratic, will probably extend Voor-
hees' appointment to the end of the
term

THE MEXICAN BORDER TROUBLES.
While it is true that Mexico has re-
peatedly protested against the exercise
OF police auth ority on her territory by
United States troops, it is equally true
and will so appear in due time
that Diaz Government has informally
assented to a reciprocal arrangement
for exercise of such authority by regu-
lar military patrols of both countries,
anywhere within specified distance of
the common boundry, as recently stated
in these dispatches. The following
extract from Article 6 of the treaty Of
December II, 1861, between the Unit
ed States and Mexico, is cited in sup
port of the good faith of the Diaz Gov
ernment In the matter of delivering up
the Rio Grande marauders, viz ::
"Neither of the contracting parties is
bound by the stipulations of this treaty
to make the extradition OF its own citi-
zens." Three Of the FIVE Rio Grande
City marauders were promptly surren-
dered. The other two, being Mexican
citizens, claimed and secured the pro-
lection of the courts. It is claimed.
therefore, that they could not be extra
dicted, because there was neither law
nor treaty providing for their extra
diction. True, this results in failure
of justice, but friends of the Diaz Gov
ernment urge that such failure is no
more conspicuous than is witnessed
daily In our courts, where undouhted
criminals escape justice through alb
sence or weakness of legal provisions
for their trial and conviction. In the
new treaty it is proposed to provide
specifically that either party shall de-
liver up fugitives from justice, regard
less Of the nationality.

DOsen't Think the Policy Paid.

The Republican party of the South
which gave 800 900 votes for Ruther.
ford b. Hayes only a year ago, has nc
longer an existence. 1t is as mute and
silent as the grave. For long and
bloody years it had bravely withstC od
midnight murder and MONDAY mas
sacre. Ostracised socially, subjected
to every keen encouragement, it brav-
ed the storm and maintained it's Or
ganization until Mr.. Stanley Mat
thews discovered that a cause worth
fighting for was inconvenieDt TO the
bystanders. Now, we ask, what has
been gained to the country, to its
military prestige, to its financial hon.
or. to its reputation to a wise and sin
cere purpose to pay its debts, to any
thing that rebounds to the National
credit. The surrender in Louisiana
and South Carolina has resulted only
in a solid South, and the assaults up
on the army. on the resumption OF
specie payments. and upon the value
of the government promises to pay,
find their surest buttress of vantage
in the first grand surrender engineer

An Ineendiary's Dying Confession.

James T. Howell, our city marshal.
and H. n. Ives. city Marshal ot
Oquawka, Illinois. went to Craig, on
Monday. and arrested James Wells on
a charge of incediarisin and murder
said to have been committed in
Keithsburg, Illinois seven years ago.
A barn was consumed and two young
men burned to death. Wells was in
Kansas some time ago. quite sick and
told of it when he thought he was GO
ing TO die. He recovered and went
to Bigelow. and thence to Craig. The
matter leaked out about the confes-
sion and the authorities have been on
the lookout for him ever since. He
will he taken to Illinois for trial
Holt County No. Sentinel.
This is believed to be the same
Wells who stabbed marshal Camp
bell, in 1875, and laid in the Jail until
the spring of 1875. His name howev-
er, as he gave it here, was Thomas
Wells.

England's Wheat Supply.

The latest Information We have of
the British wheat supply is obtained
from an article compiled from recent
issue of the London Times. The au-
| thor of the article is inclined TO the
belief that there will be an unusually
large call from the United Kingdom
for wheat during the coming year,
aud that 1t will have to be supplied
mainly from the United States. He
says that the amount of wheat requir-
ed by the United Kingdom for the
year 1878. on the basis of popula-
tion of 33, 750, 900, and an average con-
sumption of 81 bushels by each per-
son, will be % 20S, ,3S2 quarters, about
1856 900, 600 bushels. OF this amount
il il thought that the outside limit
which can be supplied at home is So,
900 900 bushels, leaving los, 900 OOU
bushels to be procured from else-
where.
The total amount imported into
the United Kingdom in 1867 was
obout 50, 900, 600. The writer also calls
special attention to the fact that there
is but little probability of procuring
wheat from Russia, that country do
ing well If it can supply its home de-
mand. This fact will drive the Con-
tinental nations, who usually buy of
Russia. to look for their supplies to
Australia and the United States. At
the present time it is said that the
United States is sending 500, 900 bush
els of wheat weekly to the Continent
of Europe. These facts. the Times
writer thinks Indicate that the DreS-
ent prices. ifnot too low, are decided
~ not too high. The present aver
age price of wheat in Great Britain is
81 65. and the general conclusion of
the article, from which we have
drawn these figures, is that it is like
ly to go higher rather than lower.

DrunkenneSSin the Army.

General Sherman has issued gen.
eral order from headquarters of the
army in which he says the presiden
is much concerned To fiud before him
for action proceedings, of court mar
tials in several cases where officers
have been tried for violation of the
thirty-eighth article of war, which
provides that an officer found drunk
on duty shall be dismissed from the
Seryira- abe pre-idsnt desires it To
be known TO the army that he cannot
be led to underrate the magnitude OF
the evil of which the crime alluded to
is likely to produce in the public SER
vice. No person addicted to il can
expect to be entrusted with any re-
sponsible duty. as person who can
not be trusted had better not be con-
tinued in office. 1t must therefore be
understood that any clemency which
may have been heretofore extended
by mitigation or Communication OF sem
tence cannot hereafter be relied upon
as basis of hope for like favorable
action. After this solemn warning a
vigorous execution of sentences i'm
posed in due course by court martial
may be ex xpected.

Taxes on Editorial Faith.

One of the greatest trials of the

bers are compelled to see more of the
shame of the world than any other
profession. Through every newspa-

weaknesses of the world all the van
tiles that want to be putfed all the
revenges that want to be resped (; all
the mistakes that want to be correct

want to be set right who were never
right; all the crackbrained philoso-
pliers with stories as long as their
hair, and as gloomy as their finger
nails in mourning because bereft of
soap; all the bores who come to stay
five minutes, but talk five hours.
Through the editorial an reportorial
rooms all the follies and shams OF the
world are seen. day after day; and
the temptation is to believe in neith-
er God, man, nor woman. It is no

The Gold ShylOcks.

The gold shylocks are playing q
new dodge in opposition to the effort
made to remonetize silver. They are
appealing to sympathy"-p pleading
baby act" poverty" or whatever
else one may be pleased to term it.
The speech of Garfield is claimed by
them TO be the "clincher." One oi
the strong points claimed for bis
speech, is his statement that he has
travelled through his Congressional
District, and finds "the greater pro-
portion of National Bonds held by
poor people, widows and orphans, D
and asks: "Shall this class of people
suffer-" All that need be said in re-
ply to such silly appeals, is, that
Garfield's widows aud orphans" are
a fortunate and favored class of poor
people" being so circumstanced as to
be holders of Government Bonds-free
from taxation, and interest paid
promptly in gold and silver. A few
of the producers of the west-they
who furnish, corn, wheat. beef and
such. for the poor bondholders east,
would cheerfuily, and without COM
laint, undergo such pains and pen
alties."
Who proposes that the bOndholGers
shall suffer, or their legitimate, busi-
ness be in the least interfered with :?
That class of eastern poor people"
need not be alarmed. The bonds are
good, and both interest and principal
will be paid promptly in accordance
with stipulatiOns of contract. What
more do they desire or expect? Such
bonds as Government has agreed TO
pay in gold and silver will be paid in
that kind of money. When these
bonds were issued and purchased. at
from forty TO sixty cents on the dol
lar, and made exempt from taxation
at that, silver dollar was worth three
cents more than gold dollar, simply
because not interfered with by Con-
gressional enactment. Let Congress
demonetize gold by the passage of an
act 10 that effect, and see how soon
gold would stand at 90 cents, and sill
yer at 100 ceDts-the exact reverse of
their relations at present. If to pay
National bonds to-day in silver is a
fraud upon the people, or holders
thereof, it was a fraud to so promise
when the contracts were made. The
purchaser of bonds dealt with the
Government uuderstandingly-with
their eyes open. All the friends of
silver now desire, or propose, is to re-
store it to the position it occupied
when these contracts were made.
Suppose gold should become "abun-
daut and cheap" as silver is now
spoken of, what would the Wall
Street money-grabbers, and oppress-
Ors of the industries of the country,
do for standard of values ?"
Before the issue of greenbacks, or
National Bank Bills, when banking
was done on what was called q coin
basis. the people lost more money

currency the Government ever issued,

criminal Congressional enactments
tending to that end. ~

prisoners fell into their hands; and
in addition to these losses the Turks
lost 5 600 in killed. The fall OF Kars
