- The Indian ,warTin Idaho is pretty
lively still 3 the Indians eluding capture,
lpicking up new recruits from the reserva-
tions, and occasionally making success
Iful raid on horses and other property;
while the federal-troops keep up an ac-
litiEe pursuit, apparently discouraging In
results so far, but yet pretty certain to-
end in the final conquest Of the rebel
redskins. Gen. Sherman is out in that
general region" and had arrived at Hell
ena, Montana, lat last accounts. There
have been fears that the Indisns., in :
Washington Territory would JOIN, the,
| fighting tribes, and they arc. called into
grand council with the whites which is
torbe attended by large force Of sol.
diers. These Washington Territory
tribes number in all over $500 persons,
including about 1900 fighting men.
- There is peace still along all the
! railroad lines, and no hint or fear Of new
strikes, but at least half the coal-islining
regions in Pennsylvania are in great, dis
order, the miners. continuing and extend
ing their strikes, little or no worE Being
done, and more or less rioting in pro-
gress. The mines at Pittston, Wilkes
barre and Westmoreland county, andlat
Cumberland, Nd, are. among: those, in
this condition. The number Of nliners
now on strike in the region extending
from Pittston.t Ito, Carbondale is between
10000 and, 1000; and it is estimated !
that, the sale of. at least 300, 900, tons of
coal has been lost to this region since the
! strike began: Gov. Hartranft is enlisting
two militia regiments of ten companies :
each for three, months for special Garviee
| in the mining regions, and in, order to
relieve the present militia companies on
duty there: The United States troops
are being withdrawn from all points not
only. in, the mining: regions but, from,
along the lines of the railroads, J, > a7.a
- The administration and Conkling
are each apparently waiting for.the other
to, begin; mot altogether unwilling to
have q quarrel, but desirous that gt'other'
fellow should take the responsibility of :,
it. Cornell goes around with, chip on
his shoulder, and dares Hayes to knock
itsof, meaning, if he does; through conk: p
ling, to appeal to- ther Senate, and get a Z
Senate majority, if possible, against the, i,
Presidents civil serYice- reform orders.
The danger of Con king lies in the fact
that Hayes can wait longer than bic can.
For the Senator's power is slowly crumb-
ling in New, York, and he needs to gath
er up his forces before the; November
election; while the President aud his
cause are both likely to grow, meantime,
bothsin popular and congressional power.
And ALSO. meantime, the Democracy will
probably run away with the Senatorial
prize in New York, for only united,
earnest Republican party, responsive to
the administrators lead, and carrying
the; benefit of its popularity, can really
hope to win the Empire State back. g.i
- Reputation is growing alarningly
popular, North as well as South. The, !,
Minnesota disgrace is still fresh in the
public mind when news. comes from
| Kansas that a. similar sentiment, 10 daily
gaining strength, in, that; commonwealth.
The State finances are in good shape, but
number of the counties are rapidly
running into bankruptcy. The railroad
fever of a few years. ago ragged wish;unu-
! sual violence in Kansas, and boD1s were
recklessly voted in aid Of. the most fam
| cifuI schemes. Leavenwood county ac-
tually has larger debt than the assessed
value of all its taxable property, the
latter being but $500, 900. while the debt
with unpaid interest foots up 81, ,200, 900.
| The county commissioners refuse to levy
any tax forthe payment of interest upon
lhe railroad Indebtedness, and TIE same
policy has been already adopted, in,three
other counties; another proposes to COM
promise with its creditors at 30 cents or
| theidollar, aud still another for 25 cents,
! while there is a. growing party in many
i sections (which favors outright repudia-

| N!No doubt there are atrocities enough
I on both sides'in- the Turko- Russian wsr
to sustain thefcommoni verdict that it is
the most cruel war of all modern times.
But there is reason to believe that some
| of the more awful stories of Russian
! butrages Are manufactured in CONSTANT
nople with q, view of affecting public
| opinion in western, Europe and America:
The London Times correspondent there,
| MI. Austin, who was formerly on service
| for that journal in this country, aud is o
man of the best character, gives details
| of the tampering with correspondents
I and their reports for, this very purpose
i and also tells of one correspondent of a
| London paper who offered to send any:
4 thing which the authorities desired, if
they would give him-sdzantages over his
rivals in real, news. Mr.. Austin, con-
cludes that it is difficult, perhaps impos-
sible, for persons known as correspon-
! dents to transmit from the provinces any
news not favorable to the Turks. The
3 arts of deceit, Of infdelity, not to waste
| synonyms, Of lying, are fine arts With the
Turks, and it will be- safe to maze some
discounts from. their stories of: :thesRanton
cruelty of. their opponents in this var. /;
