s.THE CONFLICT OF AGES"

Men differ on nearly every issue.
There have always been opposite parties
in politics and religion, though the meas.
ures fought over one day may be univer-
sally adopted at another, ard those sac
ri6ced regarded as heroes and martyrs.
Medicine has also been subject to revo.
lu,ionary disturbances. When Drs.
Harvey and Jenner announced their dis
coverics, they were held in contempt
and ridicule by an incredulous and igno-
rant public, yet to-day they are received
and honored by all benefactors. When
DR.. Pierce announced his Discovery,
many seemed TO doubt, and were skep-
teal concerning all medicines and doc
tors. but proof of merit has dispelled oil
doubt, and to-day the Golden Medical
Discovery is the standard remedy in cur
ing the most obstinate diseases of the
liver and blood, having almost entirely
superseded the old-time sarsaparillas by
reason of its superior merits.
Norwich, n. Y, Nov. Sd, 1876.
K. V. Pierce, NJ. D.:
was afflicted with a scrofulous affec-
ton on one Of my legs. 1t was very
troublesome for over two years, so much
so that could not wear boot and had
to keep my leg bandaged. 1t resulted
in a raw sore. IL got 50 bad that il be-
came a general talk that would have to
undergo amputation of the limb. One
physician told me he never saw such a
sore cured. commenced taking your
Golden Medical Discovery together with
your Pellets a. directed on the bottles,
and when ! had consumed six bottles of
Discovery, my leg was entirely well and
has remained so ever since,-a period OF
over two years,-and would not swap
il for fifty wooden legs.
Yours truly.

The Laws Of War.

The question of the obligations Of the
United States Government with refer.
encc to Russia and Turkey in tho war
which has already begun must be look
ed at under two aspects. BY tho COM
mon law Of nations as it has existed for
many years, one rule Of obligation pre-
walls, and by treaty stipulations between
the United States and different nations
another rule has been recognized. But
by the old rules of international law
neutrals were allowed to afford almost
any possible assistance to belligercnt
powers. They might allow their ports
or waters to be used as the base of naval
operations, and for the purpose of the
renewal or augmentation of their sup
plies or arms. They might allow their
citizens TO export arms and ammunition
TO either of the bclligerents and to make
loans Of money to any extent. In fact,
the obligations Of neutrals with refer.
cnce TO warning pow ers formerly of the
most meager character but within the
last quarter of century there has been
constant tendency to restrict the privi.
leges of peutrals.
The most remarkable instance in 70.
cent times of the declaration Of the rights
of neutrals in conformity with the new
theories of international law is that con-
tanned in the treaty of Washington, I'M
der which the Alabama claims were set
tod. The British Government did not
then admit that The rules laid down
were correct statement of the princi.
pies of international law which had been
in force previous TO the adoption of that
treaty. But Great Britain submitted 10
the adoption of these rules as governing
the case in hand, and both the United
States and the English Governments
agreed TO call the attention of the other
nations to these rules, which are as fol-
lows:
l. To use diligence TO prevent the fit
ting out, arming, or equipping, within
its jurisdiction, of any vessel which il

in part, within such jurisdiction to war

"G0T ENOUGH RAILROADS."

Under the above head there was a
long and well written article in the Min
neapoIis Sentinel of last week. TAX ing
for its text the proposed Narrow Guage
Railroad north and south, the Sentinel
says that il infcrs from articles recently
published in the Junction City Union
and this paper that junction City and
Salina do not want any more railroads.
AS far as Salina is concerned, We be-
licvc we are authorized in saying that
she wants railroads that will benefit her
and not injure her. Undoubtedly Min
neapolis desires the same thing. SaIina,
also, if she must vote bonds, desires to
vote them to accompany that is substantial
and has decent standing, and not
vote them TO swindlers, bank
rupts and dcadbeats. Undoubt-
cdy Minneapolis desires the same
thing. We do not deny that Min
neapoIis and,in fact, the Solomon Valley
is IN need of railroad, and it must come
sooner or later. When good, substan-
tial company finds that it will pay to
build railroad up the valley, Salina will
be really and willing to join hands with
hor good noighbor, Minneapolis, in
"driving the golden spike"-but not
until then.
Saline is rca iy and willing TO take
hold of any railroad project which will
assist in building up this western coun-
try, but has no fancy for swindling pro-
lects. She will, FOR the future, carefully
stand guard over her treasury and never
take her eyes from men who are so greedy
for bonds without consideration and
leave in their wake only-taxes.

Tho Treasury department has been
notified that an additional S275,000 had
been paid by the Centennial authorities
on account of the appropriation made by
Congress. OF that amount 5000 was
paid to tho sub-Treasury at New York,
and the balance at Philadelphia. One
million two hundred and seventy-five
thousand have now been paid into the
United States Treasury on account of the
Centennial appropriation, leaving a
balance of two hundred and twenty-five
thousand yet to lie paid. Only six hun
dred thousand was paid in prior to May
4, and that amount was only included
in the currency balance reported in the
debt statement for April 80. Nearly
nine hundred thousand, therefore, will
go into the currency balance for May,
and increase il by that amount.

The British Columbians are greatly
disturbed by tho prospect of war with
Russia, knowing that powerful Russian
fleet is within four days sail of their
harbors. They.proposc a public meeting
in Victoria, for the purpose of concert
ing defensive measures. A safer step
would be TO take steps for the dissolution
of their connection with the belligcrent
British, whose quarrelsome disposition
will always keep remote colonies in
danger of devastation by hostile fleets.

Since the defeat of Gladstone's peace
resolutions in the English Parliament,
the war party has grown strong and
clamorous. Englishmen all over the
empire exhibit intense hostility against
Russia. This feeling pervades all classes,
high and low, and must eventually re.
suit in o general clamor for war.

Ex-Gov. Chamberlain has lately been
interviewed. He speaks well of Gov

this policy is likely to rebound to the
welfare of the people.
