TIE Temporary Bridge.

The Union Pacific has decided to put
in Howe truss bridge for temporary
duty. The agent of the company
which is to build it, in an interview
with an Omaha Herald reporter said:
1.-THE temporary bridge will be COM
pleted in two weeks time, if the
weather is good, and twenty days at
the farthest. We will put up trestle
work from the embankment to the first
pier and a Howe truss from the
first to the second pier. 1t will be as
long distance as was ever spanned by
Howe truss in the world, and only
two have been built rs long-one at
Rock Island and the other at Winona,
Mimi, both of which were the same
length as will be required here, 25C
feet.
"This will necessarily have to be a
strong bridge, as in addition to support
ing the crossing trains it will have te
support the iron bridge while 1t is being
built. The cost will be $4,000 Of
s3o,ooo."

THE BUSTED BANK.
Strange Doings and Peculiar
Developments.
Mysterious Disappearance of the ofacers

Chicago, August 30.-The dissatis-
faction which the depositors in the
State Savings bank have felt with the
appointment by its officers of Colonel
Abner Taylor as assignee was not
abated to-day by notice from that
gentleman, that he would be pleased to
have committee Of three appointed by
the depositors to assist him in his in
vestigations. This afternoon, at 2
O'Clock, an uproar meeting was held
by the depositors on Market square and,
after much speaking and quarreling,
John Wentworth, L. 2. Letter, ]. a.
Moran, Bernard Callaghan and Michael
Kelley were appointed committee to
call a meeting of depositors only, in
some hall, to take measures to have
another assignee appointed by the
court. Some peculiar and suspicious
looking transactions have been un-
earthed, by which the officers of the
bank, during its last days, got rid of
certain mortgages, notes, ETC., which
the bank held against them, and by
which they transferred to the bank
their stock and took up their notes,
mortgages and other obligations as
equivalents. The morning papers will
publish the minutes of the meetings
held, and record of stock transfers,
which, taken together, constitute an
arraignment of the officers of the State
banks, which places them in criminal
light. The banks assets are likely
under such developments to shrink to
almost nominal figure. The bank
itself is its own principal stockholder,
it's officers having realized on the whole
of their stock. The abscond!ng officers
have not been heard from, and the
general opinion is they will not return
to Chicago. In the present mood of
the defrauded depositors, it would be
with general risk they did so.

Cincinnati, August 30.-The author

Anxiety at Washington Regarding HIS

Washington, August 30.-General
Terry does not credit the report that
Sitting Bull and his band have returned
to United States territory, and thinks
the Indians seen and reported as Sit
ting Bull's band are small part of his
tribe which never went across the
Canadian border at all but remained
within our territory. \ dispatch has

day before to amputate the leg of a
freighter. While on tear 4 week

A Republican Waterloo.

Tho Republicans wcro Disgrace
fully beaten in Ohio on Tuesday,
Scarcely fragment is left Of their
onco scrried columns. The prcgi-
don't is deserted by his own State !;
while Senator Stanley Matthews, Of
whom SO little was known before
last winter, and SO much has been
heard since then, is magnificent
ruin. Republicans, in accounting
for this defoat, mako the poor OK
cuse that Hayes has destroyed their
party, and that uncompromising
Republicans have givon him this
rebuke. This is nonsense. Hayes
has merely carried out tho platform
Of tho convention which nominated
him. He saw that sectional strife
was ended. In spite of tho frantic
howls of Blaine and Morton and
Bntler, md others of that ilk, who
waved the bloody shirt with un-
parallelod vohomcncc, and wagod
tho bitterest campaign that has yet
disgracod American politics, the
Republican party was beaten last
November by o quarter of million
votes. and repudiated by a million
ma jority of the Caucasian voto.
When Hayes was counted in, ho
saw that the old Radical party was
doad, that the old howls would
mover again win. Ho had the
wisdom and the dcconcy to inaugu
rate now departure, which alone
could save his party. The old
malcontents were too besottcd nnd
bigotedito 500 on acknowledge this,
but criod that he was killing the
party, or, which was of moro I'M
portance, was politically destroying
them. Nov they havo the i'm
pudence to assert that tho Domo-
cratic victory in Ohio is u vindica.

Now that Rndicalism is dead
forever in tho State, and tho Demo-
crafts havo all throo branches of
governments it would not DO in
appropriate for the remaining Radi,.
cal State Senators to follow the OK
ample Of Whittonore, Maxwell and
Dub Walker, by resiSning. There
seems no doubt that Taft and
Gaillard, Of Charleston, and Nash,
of Richland, will bo oustcd this
wintor; and aftor this, Of what
profit will itbe to any Of that set
to remain ? They are simply put-
ting themselves up as targets to be
shot ut. Wo would suggest to
Senator Byrd of this county that he
could mako himself very popular by
taking the lead in this movement.
His seat in tho Senate is of no
earthly uso to him, and it confcrs
no honor on him, for he there mani
tests his unGtncss for the Office,
while ho is good farmer and
would do well if he stuck to his
legitimate business that Of tilling
the soil. BY remaining in Office Byrd
is only mourning enmity. BY re,
tiring from politics, ho can make
friends by proving himself u good
citizen. What will he do?

The country, however, will not be
mislcd. The moral Of tho Ohio
election is plain. Tho people arc
disgustcd with Rndicalism, it's
frauds, it's arrogance and its thcfts.
They have cut loose from the Radi-
cal party, not because they think
Hayes is wrong, but because the
old leaders have so damned TIC
party that even his d"ccncy and
mnnIincss cannot save it. The
party is deed and tho masses know
it.
The hard times, too, have OK
crciscd their influence. Tho mil-
lions who want bread charge upon
the late dominant party the rcspon
sibility for tho general stagnation Of
business. Hence tho strength
developed by the Working Mems
and the Grccnbacll party.
While Of course Hayes will feel
sore at the loss Of his State, he may
be consolcd by tho knowledge that
