The sum of this is between FIVE and six
hundred million dollars! When we con-
slider that the national debt is alone suf-
fcient to tax the resources of the people
almost to their limit, can we wonder that
the imposition of fresh burden upon
the popular shoulders fourth as large
as that brings hard times and makes
them stay3
The following figures will give some
idea of how the enormous sums expend-
ed in meeting the interest on these debts
are raised:

The Constitutional AmendmentQues
ton.

A distinguished lawyer with whom
We have had communication on the
subject of an increased number oil
Supreme Judges, writes that he
thinks the amendment should be
adopted. He thinks the character oil
the questions going before the court
sometimes require the consideration
of more than three judges however
able and experienced. His Wow en-
larged upon would convey the idea
that il would be well TO have Judge
who in connection with law has
made q special study Of science, an
other who has made with the law
special study Of mechanics, another
of commerce, another of agriculture
and another of medicine, so that The
people would be cleverly represented
in any matter brought before them.
As to the amount of work to be done
it appears that as the court is now
constituted, if ono judge is sick or
disabled two judges have all the
work to do. The work was done by
two judges from the first of Deem
Der last to the middle of August.
They decided some very difficult
and important cases and the decis-
ion of two judges does not command
the respect that a decision by a
bench of three, five, seven or eight
would.
All these reasons should be consid-
cred. We feel disposed to vote
against the amendment and TO ad-
wise its rejection, but better settle
meat of the question we think would
be to have five jadges, but pay them
with tho salaries now received by
the three

that infamous scoundrel, Brick Pom

We have before stated our belief

He is aided by such men as Sidney
Meyers, Sam Carey, Jesse Harper

political hacks. Their mission is to
break down, not to build up. They
would have all men on equality with
them by pulling others down to their
level. They are angels of destruc

1t is the creature of the Republican

Republican party. Pomeroy and his
Satanic gang are aiming at its de-
struction. Some years ago they tried
to destroy it by calling it unconsti-

failed and now they wish to destroy
it by Cutting the markedly making

therefore as cheap.

pays it. When will farmers learn
that all these gifts and everything of
the Kind are merely swindles, and
that there is always cat uuder the
meal.
Political.
The Democracy of the city op-
posed to Tammany are attempting
to combine their forces, so as to
make successful fight against the
hydra-headed monster. The Tri-
bune says, "They procrastinate,' and
of course they procrastinate, as anti
Tammapy always did and always
will, for there is nothing honest in
the movement. The anti. Tammany
Democracy are just like the other
Tammany Democracy, only they
happen to be the ones left out in the
cold. They organize, not to beat
Tammany, bit to compel division
of the spoils. If they are weak,
Tammany laughs at them ;--if they
are strong, Tammany buys them up.
This has been the practice for years,
and will be to the end of time; John
Kelly will look them over, buy up
such as he wants, and contemptu-
ously kick the others. "Procrasti-
nation" in this case means waiting
for bid. The Republicans are do
ing little or nothing. Neither in the
Times or Tribune of Tuesday was
there word relating to the State
ticket.
Lotteries.
The police, guided by Anthony
Comstock, are making raid on the
lotteries. Comstock succeeded in
breaking up the sale of obscene liter
allure, but be will fail in his attack
upon lotteries. The lottery people
are rich and well organized, and the
business of quilting fools is too profit
able to be given up without a fight.
They have the best legal talent in
the city behind them, and then their
methods of doing business are so Sc
cret and well guarded that it is diff
fcult to convict them. There are a
large number of lotteries that have
their head quarters in the city, and
all of them, with five exceptions, are
bogus. They take in vast sums OF
money, though.

Tho Greenback Party Leaders.

The genius at the head of the
Greenback party is Brick Pomeroy.
Is there any man in Grant County
so green as not to know Pomeroy's
character? When our soldiers were
risking their lives in their countrys
cause he called them Lincoln here
lings, thieves, murderers. pimps and
every other vile name. When Lincoln
was assassinated he rejoiced and
hoped to see the day that this coun-
try would build q monument to the
honor and memory of his assassin.
He moved from La Crosse to New
New York where infamy and villainy
like his was in greater demand.
There as shown by Tweed's own
oath and the corroborating vouchers,
he was paid $40, 10000 for the use OF
his paper in the interest of the Tweed
rinc-tbe rankest and most monstrous
gang of political thieves known to
history. This man, we say, is the
inventor of nine .tenths of the lies and
ISLANDERS now being imposed upon
honest and industrious men. He pub
fishes the leading Greenback paper
of the country, and all the rest get
their lies and ISLANDERS from him or
by initiating him. His imitator in
this county started his paper under
the fraudulent representation that it
was Republican paper and after
getting what Republican pap he
could, turned traitor-tbis being his
second attempt in that line. This

8 GENERAL MeCLELLAW.

"This distinguished gentleman has had
extraordinary opportunities in his time,
and had he succeeded in improving them
all, he might now be, like Julius Cesar OF
all, the foremost man in all this world.
Now he has another great opportunity.
He is nominated BY the Democratic party
for Governor of New Jersey: All good
men e1ult in this nomination, not merely
because General McC Clellan is a gentleman
and a man of honor and talent, who ad-
dresses himself with high motives and a
noble spirit to whatever he undertakes, but
because he now represents the defeat Of va
.rious other aspirants Of the baser sort, who
we're seeking this nomination with inferior
purposes and by means which an upright
man must scorn.
General Mcclellan will no doubt be
elected by rousing majority. He will be
Governor of New Jersey. 1t is not great
State, but the place has its full opportunl-
mites of action and share Of responsible
ties. If, more decided, more wise and

to be fully up to this new situation, there

RUSSIAS FAILURE.

Russia seems to be at the end of her
tether with the forces now actually in Rou-
mania, and the Ottoman army has once
more demonstrated how an invasion that
threatened to overwhelm nation reputed |
unable to resist it may be robbed of its ter.
rors by heroic resistance, even when the |
resistance is not directed by the highest
military intelligence. 1t was not believed
with armies equal in number the Turks
could successfully make head again It the
better supplied, better disciplined and bet.
ter handled Russian troops; and it was not
doubted that the Russians would put in the
field force at least double that the Turks
could meet them with. In fact, the use Of
such force was part of their plan Of OPP
erations, for they proposed to oppose to the
armies that might assail them in Bulgaria
an army at least as great as that now in tbs
presence of Osman Pacha and Mehemet
Ali Pacha, and to have in addition to this
force sufficient to march on Constantine
pie. 1t is obvious how the mere presence
of such force would at the present mo-
ment change the aspect of the war in Bul.
garia. If the forces that menace the Rus.
SLAMS on the right and left were not only
thus held in check, but had their attention
distracted by constant appeals from Con
stantinople to protect the capital from
force operating in Roumelia, their nenac
would not possess the importance it ne,
does, for as it would then be necessary fo
the Russians only to hold but not to coz
