FALL OFpLETVA.
FALL OF pLETVA.
Tie Telegraph, the Turkish organ,
says Of the fall of Pleyna:

The Telegraph, the Turkish organ,
says Of the fall of Plevna:
1.-The Importance of the news cannot
be OvereStimated, for with the fall of
Plevna. falls the chief bulwark, not on
~ of tho Porte, but Of those countries
whose interests are identical with those
OF Turkey. With its fall the great cri-
sis Of the war is reached, and upon the
news which we May receive within the
next few days depends whether the
war is to ter innate ut once, or whether
it is to enter upon new phase. If, as
we hope and trust, Russia is satisfied
with her success and willing to enter
upon negotiations Of peace, all may be
well. If, on the other hand, she is so
inflated with her triumphs as to recur
to her formers dreams Of debating peace
in Constantinople, it is impossible to
conceaf'that we are upon the brink of
the gravest eyents.' AS far as Turkey
is concerned, it is evident her power of
resistance is brOken.'
There Isl much talk of peace now, and
Turkey hopes, to secure it by the inter-
ventions Of the other powers. But it is
easy, even for 4 country editor, to fore
see that Russi;k>Will not stop until she
has possession Of Constantinople or has
been forced by the cannon of England
and other powers besides Turkey to
again retire and postpone again the
prize which she has coveted for centu-
rleS. nnj.!ui
We believe in a long and furious war
which will involve number of other
powers, and, although for the sake of
peace I'VE, may wish it to end, yet we
think it ought to go on until the prin-
ciple of full religious federation is es-
tablisled, in. both Turkey and Russia.

DUVWELLS SPEECH

We have received Il copy Of Mr., Dun.
nell's speech against the bill to repeal
the resumption act. It is calm,
sound, .argumentative speech, utterly
unlike many of the party harangues of
those who favor the repeal and a re-
turn to imitation. Mr.. d. depends up
on facts and figures to show that con-
traction is not the great cause Of the
hard times. The effect of the repeal
would be to create doubt and uncer-
tainty, and leave the business of the
country in al unsettled state.
BY all means let us get down to a
specie basis us soon rs possible. The
people want to know that the finan-
cial balloon has really touched terra
tirma and that they are standing on
solid ground.
THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
Tie engineer of the Southern Min
nesota reports as follows to the Albert
Lea Standard
Mr.. G.. W. Keller informs us that he
has just completed the survey of the
Southern Minnesota Railway COmpa-
ny, from WinneDago City to Jackson;
and that the company will extend its
line across that territory next season.
1t is claimed by those who are lack.
ing in faith in the Southern Minnesota
that all this talk about extension
means only al extension of the land
grant and is designed to influence the
Legislature. But we take good deal
of stock in the Southern Minnesota.
The fact is, the road cannot afford to
stop at Winnebago City. Unjust pusl,
on soon, and we believe also that it
cannot afford to go on either side of
Worthington. 1t must come to this
place, as its interest will necessarily
draw it.
ROUND DANCES
Mrs. Gen, Sherman is out in another
letter against the round dances. Her
first was to endorse book written 10y
al acquaintance against these dances.
and we hope that her name will help
to give the book circulation. In her
second letter she says:
1t is not to be expected, that young
girls, who are unconscious of evil in
the beginning, should reflect long
enough to summon the moral courage
to resist the allurements of the dance.
unless with encouragement and sup.
port OF their, parents. 10 the honor OF
pure maidenhood, be it said, however,
that there are young girls who decline
from instructive delicacy, even when
their parents would have them join the
thr0ng who dance down the broad road
of worldly pleasure.

WHEAT CULTURE.

WHEAT COLTU72E
We invite attention to the letter of
Justiee!N. VI. Mcdowell on the impor-
tant subject of wheat culture. Mr. Nc
Dowell takes issue with a good many
who think the softer varieties will yield
more, per acre than the hard. He
thinks the difference is due to other
causes. IL.

President McMahon has finally yielded
to the moderate Left and formed cabi-
net with which the republicans are mainly
satisfied. Thus the long struggle which
begun with the memorable 10th of May
when the Simon ministry was discharged
has ended. The new ministry is us fol.
lows; Dufaure, president of the counci
and minister of justice; De Marcere, min
lister of the interior; WaddingLon, foreign
affairs Bardaux, public Instructions Gen
Borel, war; Admiral Pon'hau, marine
Leon Say, finance; Teisserenc Debort
commerce; De Freycinet, public works
The message of Mcmahon was read be
fore the Chambers on the 14lh. 1t says il
substance that the people, the final judg'
to whom he appealed decided in favor o
republicanism and he proposes to accep
the judgment. Thus the French presiden
has chosen to take the first horn of tn
dilemma Gambetta proposed for him, an
submit.
The Chambers will now vote needle
taxes and this crisis is passed.

The concurrent resolution of Mr.. Mat

paid in silver when due.
The Conkling- Gordon difficulty was
settled by the intervention of mutua
friends, and the settlement was announced
by paper presented to the Senate owe
the signatures of Senators Hamlin, Ran

offensive words which passed in the exec
utivc session between Senators Gordon
and Conkling were the outgrowlh o
misapprehension," and that the offensiv,
remarks had been mutually Withdrawn

TIE TROUBLE WITH TIE LIQUOR DEALERSl
The police surveillance of the liquor
business continues. Over Thousand
places have been shut up, and there is
mourning among the dry ones. Licenses
are declared illegal. The tavern dodge
did not work, for the courts hold that Il

mere place fitted up to evade a law, ant
the police have showed no discrimination
Delmonco and the hotel bars have been
shut up, Just the same as the smaller bar
rooms, and the only way drink can be
procured, is TO slip in ut side door, ant
only regulars are admitted at all. What
ever may e said ms to the justice of thi'
raid upon men who have paid license
there is no question as to its good effect

men upon the street cars has ceased alto
