SENATOR JONES AND THE AD-
1lINIsIRATION.

Our only Senator from Nevada, john
J.. Jones, mas broken with the AdmIuIs
tratlon. He Is an ardent admirer al
particular friend of Conkling. and
with the New York Senator in his en-
slaught on Hayes. In the Republican
Senatorial caucus. the Senator from
Nevada is reported as having spoken
his mind freely. He denounced, the
White House and all in and about it.
politically, without stop or limit, and
declared that bummers with slouched
hats, and carry ing their sticks uuder
their arms to save both hands for free
lunches, were admitted to the presence
of the President. when Republican
Senators were kept cooling. their heels
III the ante.rcom. AS this language is
more forcible than eloquent, the Sem
ator from Nevada was evidently angry
when he expressed it. Had Demo
cratic Senator used such expressions
they would have been attributed by the
admirers of the President to WHISKY OF
partisan prejudice; bat coming from u
Republican, and the only representa-
tive of Nevada in the Senate, it ma,
head the political friends Of MIR. jones
60 inquire if he was right. aud if Hayes
really deserved to be berated in tha,
manner.

RAILROAD LANDS.

1t is now asserted as fact that c. p.
Huntington. Vice President of the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Company, and
representative of that corporation at
Washington, has offered to surrender
to the Government all unsold lands
granted to the company in this State
and Utah, and all the money received
for lands sold by the railroad company.
as basis for settlement of the lndebt-
edness OF the company to the Govern
ment. The uusold lands are to be
credited to the company at the rate of
ST. 25 per acre, aud the amount to
gether with the money to be paid for
lands sold by the company, Is 10 be
placed in sinking fund Tor the re-
demption of bonds issued to aid in the
construction of the road and the pay
ment of interest on the same. THIS
looks like fair proposition. The al
ternate SECTIONS owned by the Govern
ment along the railroad are held at
company, where water can be had Tor
irrigatipg purposes, are held at u much
higher figure. This retards the settle
ment of the country. If the railroad
lands revert to the Government aud are
offered to actual settlers at reduced
rates, say from so cents to $l:2o per
acre, according to quallty aud location,
1t would induce many OF those now
seeking homes. on the Pacific coast TO
settle IN Nevada. Il woald bring
thousands of acres of land within 70
miles of the railroad now held at 81 :5O
per acre. into market under the Desert
Land Act. 1t would increase the local
traffic on the railroad SO tnat the Com
pany could have no reasonable excuse
for not reducing trelghts and giving
farmers and cattle men opportunity To
get their products to- market at living
rates. The railroad Is OF great benefit
TO the Pacific coast, aud the Govern
ment should adopt liberal policy III
settling with 1t, aud at the same ume
by legislation compel Its owners
to adopt liberal poncy with
settlers along the line. The
road Is d national necessity aud il WAS
meet and proper that The Government
should deal Hoeraily with Its enter
prlslng builders; but IL Is neither just
nor necessary tnat Its owners should be
permitted 10 dlscrImIuate forever

gress or the State Legislature should
prevent them from dong So.

latter retaliating. In an engage
meat that followed near Scio the
Sultan's fleet was utterly destroyed.
This sensibly affected the Turks, es-
pecially as the appearance of the
Russians encouraged TripOli, Egypt
and Syria to rebel against the Porte.
The war continued until 1774, when
by the Treaty of Kainarji Russia
obtained the free navigation of the
Black Sea, the right of passing
through the Danube, a large tract of
land between the, bug and the Dnie-
per and the strong fortresses of Az
of, Taganrog, Kertch and Kimburn.
A sum of money sufficient to defray
the expenses of the war was also
stipulated, but it was never paid.
The advantages derived by Russia
from the other articles were ample
enough. Among them not least
was the commerce of the Levant
and the Black Sea. This war de-
monstrated the entire inferiority of
the Turks, both on sea and land, to
the Muscovite power. The Porte
during its progress was reduced to
the Verge of ruin, and for a time
was at the mercy of Catharine. A
peace of some years followed the
Treaty of Kainarii, if indeed that
can be called peace where most sol
emn engagements were perpetually
evaded. In short, there was no re-
spite given to the Tartars. Moham-
MADAM tribes on the shores of the
EuXine and the Christian principal
ties were interfered with in the same
In 1857 hostilities once
more broke out. As the Turks had
just crushed the Egyptian rebellion
they looked forward to the impend-
ing warfare with a hope to which |
their former reVerses had for some !
time rendered them strangers. On |
the other hand Potemkin, the COM |
mander-in-chief, having under his |
orders some OF. the best generals in |
the service, haStened to the frontier, |
which was soon covered by Russian /
troops. AT the same time the En- |

favorite dream, the ele-
vatiOn of the grandson Constantine
TO the throne of the Greek Empire,
was about to be realized. The Rus
slams were everywhere successful.
Ismail was taken by storm by Suwar-
off, the most dreaded ofall the Rus
sian generals. His loss was severe,
and nj revenge, thei garrison, with
the greater part of the population,
was put to the sword. The Grand
Vizier now sued for peace and a
.reaty was signed in January, 1892.
By it Catharine retained the whole
country between the Bug and the
Dniester, and was secured in posses
'ion of the Crimea, the strong place
which at the time constituted it the
Key to the Black Sea.

The farmers wife is sitting alone
In the dusk of winters day,
While over the hill the shadows fall,
And over the meadows gray.
And the cares of many busy hour
Steal fast from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through mist o
tears,
To the church-yard under the hill.
Where the snow, like the wings of brood
ing dove,
Lies soft and pure and still.
And where her treasures, 50 long ago,
She laid at the Masters will.
And ah how oft, as the days go by,
She starts, rs her listening ear
Has almost caught on the passing breeze
Voices so sweet and clear,
g rFis the angels callingW she thinks. .'Ah
me!
1t is weary waiting here"
The farmer comes from his work at last,
In the dusk of a winters day,
And sits down by his faithful wife,
And she parts his locks SO gray,
And looks in his face with loving smile
That tears steal never away.
And back again, as her dim eyes turn
To the hills where the shadows fall,
The thinks, MY treasures are lying there
But He has not taken all,
Since one is eating beside me still
Till the angels voices call"
But the weeks are slow, and the aged two,
Id the dusk of many day,
viii watch the shadows come and go
Ger the meadows cold and gpay,
Ere they, at the Masters will, may lie
Where their treasures are laid away.

Military Strength OF Russia and Tur-
kew,

Russia's military strength exceeds
that of Turkey to a far greater de-
gree than would be supposed with
out reference to the statistics of the
subject. the Russian army ON a
war footing contains ], ,6il .S29 troops,
1876, 14S nOn-combatants, 2l0, ,s3S hor-
ses and 2,G0O guns. In addition 10
these there is an irregular army con-
tanning 40, ,IS3 men, so that, all
told, the Russian forces exceed p
600, 900; though there Is doubt
whether many more than half of
these can be made directly available
for a war against Turkey, The
Persian army, which Is expected to
cooperate with Russia, has about
10000 available men. The Turkish
army on a war footing numbers, of
all classes, GIG, 100 men, OF whom
l30, 900 are irregulars and auxiliaries.
II is not probable that Turkey can
bring into the field many over 400
900 men, so that Russia, probably,
in AN active campaign, will out
number Turkey two or three TO one.
