Hard Times in the silver state

EIVm te Slut0 Slty SHTOHACic.
The shadow of hard times seems
to be slowly creeping over the Com
stock. and he who stands in the sun
shine to-day may be under the cloud
tomorrow. Hundreds of miners,
who have been out of employment
for months, go about, willing to per-
form any kind of labor for anything
in the shape of money. A few months
ago they were striving to see their
wives and children presumably cloth
ed and supplied with the little luxu-
ries of life. To-day they think of on
ly keeping them fed. They have no
longer credit at the grocer's, and the
butcher will not furnish them meat
without the ready cash. Scores of
these men are walking the street aim
lessly, or lingering about the mines
begging for work. A miner falls
down a shaft and is dashed to pieces.
A hundred rush to fill the place, con-
tent to have their faces famed by the
i'll wind that has blown him into eter-
nifty. They stand about the gambling
tables watching the ebb and flow Of
other peoples fortunes. A man with
dollar in his pocket is celebrating
whether to buy flour for his family
or put the money on the board to
double up. He pushes it over a card
and sees it make its way into the dca-
ler's till. Then he walks away with
teeth tightly clenched. You may see
such sights nightly at any of the
gambling houses. Strong, able
bodied men call daily at the houses of
citizens, asking for food or the chance
Of q nights lodging. The fund of the
Relief Committee are exhausted.

Criticism Not Hostility.
Cedar Rapids Times.


If the policy of non-interventioI
cannot bear friendly criticism, the
sooner it is abandoned the better and
if the Republican party is destined to
60 to pieces because the right of free
speech is exercised within its ranks
it has simply ceased to be the Repub.
lican party. We believe that the
Presidents policy in principle, is ex.
ceedingly dangerous, and we shall
say SO without any fear Of timeserv-
ers. At the same time we believe the
Republican party is strong and will
survive the present blunder, despite
democratic hopes; and we say fur
Their, that if the party suffers any ill
because of this agitation, the respon-
bility will rest with those who have
handed Southern majorities over to
democratic usurpers. and who are
now attempting to whip the rank and
file into sycophantic endorsement
of new and perilous measures. The
President is entitled to his policy, but
his councillors must not expect those
Of opposite views to withhold their
criticism. Criticism is not hostility.

1t is surprising that with all the
boast of independent journalism" so
few papers comprehend what that
means. Even the professionally in
dependent papers are but too often
the subservient tools, not of party,
but Of personal rings and are run
in some special interests. But there
certainly ought to be enough intclli-
gence and fairness in the great mass
of republican journals to comprehend
that fealty to party does not necessi-
tate all sacrifice of true independence
of character or liberty of opinion.
We are glad to be able to add that
the great mass of republican journals
appreciate the dignity of honest jour.
nalism, but there are, unfortunately, a
few papers that cannot distinguish be-
tween friendly criticisms and open
revolt. just now this class of insipi-
dities is jealousy watching and re.
buking every utterance in reference
to the policy of the present admins
tration, and in their self-constitutcd
task attempt to rebuke every expires.
sion not in consonance with their
views of party loyalty. Such papers
arc damage rather than help to
the administration. People quickly
sec through such cheap assumptions
of virtue. If the republican party is
so weak that it cannot endure a little
candid talk about passing events OF
an occasional dissent from the policy
of its members in power the sooner il
casts its mantle upon the old whie
party and gives mp the ghost the bet.

The Fearful Fire Cracker.
New York Tribune.

1t is bad news for the boys, and
perhaps for some children Of larger
growth, but the Fire Insurance Com.
panies, through che National Board
of Underwriters, have begun thus
early q crusade against Fourth O.
July fire-crackers and other loos,
pyrotechnics. 1t is sought to secur,
from the local authorities ordinance
or use any il crackers, sqnibs, or otne,
minor pyrotechnicalities. If theil
making and selling, and substantial,
their importation can be stopped, We
shall get rid of the danger arising
from their use. But whizz and fiZi
and slam and bang are so intimately
associated with our American notions
Of liberty and independence, that any
absolute suppression of the noisy
nuisance can scarcely be expected. Ii
is to be regretted that the observance
Of the "Fourth" took such Chinese
direction. 1t is easy to imagine a eel.
ebration quiet, and appropriate
but habit is second nature, and for
some years to come, though in a miti-
gated way, the anniversary cracker
will continue to explode.
The Board gives some figures that
arc really startling. The invoice val
ue of all the fire-crackers imported
since January /, 1865, is less than ST.
100000, while the loss by only two
fires directly occasioned by them was
$l5,OOO,OOO! On one day only last
year the loss traceable to them
amounted to twenty-five per cent. OF
the whole invoice value Of the impor-
tations in 1875. Every dollars worth
of crackers imported has occasioned
q direct loss by fire of upward of one
hundred dollars. The centennial
Fourth of July cost the insurance
companies alone $l54,574, while the
value of the crackers imported dur
ing the year was but $l6G,O95. Then
fireworks of American manufacture
during the ten years from 1866, cost
$685. O0-which has all gone up in
smoke,

excellent precision in marching and
evolution. Among the great chief.
in the council, numbering twenty
were Crazy Horse, Little Big Man
Little Wound, Young Man Afraid O

Standing Elk. Among the demands
made by the Indians, were the follow
ing: That they should be allowed tt
select their agency and live together
in peace; and that they should be
provided with educational faculties
plenty of provisions, and kindly
treated. On their part, they promised
that they would hereafter respect the
President and acquiesce in his wishes
believing that he "wants to. do what
is right by u.s." as Iron Hawk ex.
pressed it. They also promised to
cultivate peace and friendship with
the whites, and otherwise behave
themselves and generally talked quite
sensibly.

cit is said the President is pur.

wearing his full uniform of General
of the United States army.'-Chica'
90 Tribune.
The above is a fair specimen of thu
left-hand compliments which the fat
witted fool of the Chicago Tribune
continues to bcsmcar Grant with.
His uniform during the Vicksburg
campaign was Panama hat and a
linen buster.
He was VIGOROUSLY aversc to fuss
and feathers during the war, and
usually had less toggery about him
than a second lieutenant. Besides he
is not a General in the United States
army, and is not likely to be found
stratting around Europe in stoler
plumage except in the imagination o
uninspired and malevolent idiot
whom God Almighty, for some in
scrntable purpose, allows to gravitat'
to the personal intelligence columns

Had Missouri been free from its

have been no rebellion, no repeal to
the Missouri Compromise act, no
bleeding Kansas to stimulate the or
ganization of the republican party,
but there would have been, instead of
Missouri hostile to frccdom,a grand
commonwealth, filed with an East
ern and Northern population, whose
influence and power, eliminated from
the South and added to the North,
would have rendered the success of a
pro-slavery rebellion so improbable,
yea, impossible, that the most blind

must have despaired of success in any
