WAR AT LAST.

Russia, by a distinct and dignified
manifesto, in which the Car gives the
final order to his troops to cross the
Turkish frontier, opens the first act in
the warlike drama, which all Christians
must hope will end in the determination
of Turkish rule in Europe In Bosnia,
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, and the provin-
ces bordering on the Danube, the Chris
tan subjects of the barbarous Moham-
medans, have boon oppressed as only
Turks know how to torture their ill.,
fated subjects. Singular enough, Chris
tian Europe, for purely commercial rea-
sons, and through international jeal-
ousies, has suffered Turkey to practice
her atrocities upon her brave and rebel
lious Christian subjects, while Russia
has demanded in their behalf, reforms
at the hands of the Sublime Porte
which the latter has insolently and
stubbornly denied
The result will be determined by the
attitude that other European Nations
may finally assume towards Russia and
Turkey. The situation is complicated
and involved. England, heretofore the
friend and ally of Turkey, is at least
actively so no longer France is neutral
Italy is naturally hostile to Turkey
Austria and Germany hold the balance
Of power Neither of them have indi-
Gated their future intention. In this
contest, we as Christian Nation must
sympathiZe with Russia. In Turkey
the Christians are slaves and bonds
men, the subjects of the unrelenting
Pashas, the petty tyrants who rob, out
rage, and murder them without redress
For them, the Gar in his declaration Of
war against Turkey, avows his strong
interest, and invoking the blessing of
God upon his valiant armies, proposes
by the sword to COMPEL 1.-THE Porte to
effect such reforms as will protect the
Christians in Bosnia, Herzegovina and
Bulgaria from the arbitrary measures
of the local (Turkish) authorities"
This being the avowed object Of the
Gar, if he is to be allowed by other
European Nations to accomplish it, it
apparently must result in the surrender
by the Porte, of Turkey in Europe.

CARD TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
For many years We have made two med
icines suited to the ailments of vast class
of sufferers. Thousands of cures have
been made by them, and, in fact, the word
failure could never he coupled with them.
But within the last two years counterfeits
of our medicines have sprung up, danger
ons i'll their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Holloway's
Pills and Holloway's Ointment the fac
smile of the signature of our Agent, Mr..
JOS. Haydock. To counterfeit this is felony.
We shall relentlesSy pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigor of the
law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of the American people will
aid us in our efforts to protect their health,
and help us in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men to the bar of
justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr..
Jos. Haydock's signature is attached to
each Box of Pills Or Pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached

MR.. WADE'S LETTER,

Much as we may admire the staunch
and rigorous Republicanism of Ex-Sena-
tor Wade, undoubtedly honest as are
his purposes and convictions, yet we
cannot approve the tone, and method
of expression of his recent letter so vic
lently denunciatory of the Southern
policy of the President.
Whatever honest differences of opin-
ion may exist among Republicans as to
its final result, denunciation can neither
retard its success nor hasten its failure
Mr.. Wade's letter does the President
palpable injustice upon its face. He
jumps at the ready conclusion that the
Presidents motives are the yerv worst
That he meditates the destruction of
the party that elected him. That he
(Mr. Wade) has been deceived, BETRAYED
and even Inundated by the course the
President has taken, to degree that
hC udo uOI INC IdES udSc W cApleSS.
Conceding, as all must, to the veneer
able Ex-senator thorough honesty of
opinion, and that he also possesses the
courage Of his convictions, does It fol-
low that other Republicans, equally
sincere in the honesty of their views,
must make the abortion of Mr. Wade's
opinions relative to the Presidents
Southern policy, the test of their Re
publicanism We think not. Further
than this, is the question of Repubi-
canism-we mean in party sense

Scenery of the Colorado Mountains.

No language is expressive enough to
convey correct idea of the rugged
grandeur of the mountain scenery that
surrounds us here at Sunshine. No pen
can picture the sublime beauty of the
broad and varied panorama that presents
itself to the eye of the beholder as he
stands ON the summit of Lee hill and
takes in q full view of the mountain
ranges, piled one upon the other, with
peak after peak. After feasting our
eyes on the most magnificent mountain
scenery we turn our gaze upon the far
reaching plains which spread out before
us. There we can see the Platte wind
ing its way through the desert with its
many tributaries, dotted with a sparse
growth of willows and cotton woods,
which marks its course across the broad
plain. Many of the thriving Colorado
towns are also brought SO close to the
beholder as to be plainly recognizable.
Among them are Greeley, Evens, Erie,
Longmont, Denver, and many others.
No American need go abroad to feast
upon famous mountain scenery, for we
believe the Rocky mountains afford the
grandest and widest scenery the most
vivid imagination can picture, besides
the most magnificent natural curiosities
in the world.-Bouldcr (Cat.) Courier.

The United States War department.,
with the approval of the secretary of
war, has issued circular announcing,
for the information of all concerned, the
following routes connecting the Missouri
river with the Black Hills, in accordance
with the late treaty with the Sioux In
dians:
Route No. 1.-Beginning Mt Bismarck,
Dakota, the present terminus of the
Northern Pacific railroad, it will cross
the 103d meridian of longitude, the west
ern boundary of the Sioux reservation,
on the shortest and most practicable
route to Deadwood City.
Route No. 2.-Beginning at point
on the right bank of the Missouri river,
known as Fort Pierre, or at some point
not over eighteen miles north of that
place, it will cross the 103d meridian, ON
the shortest and most practical route to
Deadwood City.
Route No. 3-Beginning at the Yank-
ton crossing of the Missouri river, and
thence up the south bank of the Niobra-
IA to it's crossing opposite the mouth Of
the Keya Paha river, thenceup the latter
stream to or near the sources of Porcu-
pine creek, whence it will cross'the 103d
meridian Oh the shortest and most prac-
ticable route to Custer City.
All people who establish themselves at
stations along these lines are notified
that such establishing will not carry with
it any prophet, W right to the land,
which will be subject to conditions which
may be imposed by the secretary of war.
The western boundary of the Sioux res
ervation, as fixed by recent treaty, is as
follows: Commencing at the intersec-
ton of the 103d meridian of longitude
with the northern boundary of Nebraska,
thence to its intersection with the south
fork of the Cheyenne river, thence down
said stream to its junction with the north
fork of the Belle Fourche, thence up
that fork to the 103d meridian, thence to
the south branch of Cannon Ball, or
Cedar creek.

observed what was going on, quietly put
forth his hand, took the rejected paper,
scrutiuized it, and then having taken
good look at the man who haa presented

A Good Investment.

Some ten years ago, says an exchange,
the writer purchased of nnrseryman
at Detroit 1000 little white cedars, the
ar5or vitg the plants were one year
old from the seel about six inches high,
and cost one and half cents each-$15
per thousand. Besides planting many
of them in groups or singly about the
house and grounds, sufficient number
we're used to make hedge or screen on
the westerly and northerly sides of a
large garden which had been very much
exposed to the sweep of blasting winds,
sometimes to the destruction of nearly all
the early plants that it contained. These
cedars, set out some two OF three feet
apart, all grew luxuriantly, and they now
form living wall about twelve feet high,
as impervious to the winds as if built Of
brick Or stone, affording complete pro-
tectior to the garden, and more than
doubling its value for the purposes of its
use. Delicate plants, that one blast of
cold wind in May morning would chill
and destroy, now, no matter how bleak
the gusty day, seem to nestle in the warm
unconscious of harm.
