HELMBoLD's BUcHU.-Helmbold's Buchu
has long been know as one of the most valua-
BILE medicines attainsble in certain classes of
diseases, such as dyspepsia, chronic rheuma-
tism, dropsy, cutaneous affections, and espe-
cially affections of the urinary organs. AS
diuretic 1t is superior to almost any other
medicine in use, and the great care with which
it l. prepared, the absolute purity of the prepa-
ration, and the diligence used in the selection
of the crude material, have made it known
far and wide as a reliable and effective prepa-
ration, and one that can always be used with
safety and benefit. The great success of Helm
holds Buchu has led to the production of
many spurious preparations, which are made
cheaply and placed upon the market to be
sold on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's
original preparation. Parties who desire
really good medicine should be careful and
use Helmsolds only.

THE Greenback inhationists are
queer fish. There never was a time
when their crazy vagaries could be
excused save upon the plea of igno-
rance. but now there is nothing to
plead in eXtenuation of them. When
the times were far harder than now,
the cry of "more money" was a less
intoerable folly than at present.
Now that almost every item in their
bottomless theory of paying prom
ise has been exploded by the turn of
events, when returning prosperity is
coming in due course of natural
law, and when our deprecated paper
currency has under the same law,
become almost the equivalent of spe-
Gle, these sky-scraping zealots are
screaming louder than ever. 1t is a
mere revival of the foolish Penndle-
ton erase of 1868, which the people
of the country buried under a half
million ma ority. Dubuque Times.

THE Burlington (Iowa) Xa,cAeye
has been thinking about the Green
back party and here is the result of
its reflections. "If we correctly I'M
dcrstand the platform of the Green
back party of Iowa, IL promises an
era of high wages, lots of employ
ment, high price for wheat for the
farmer, cheap -four for the mechanic,
high price for cattle for the stock
raiser cheap beef for the working
man; lots Of money, low interest and
good time for everybody bat con-
tractors, manufacturers, railroads
and bankers, who are to be very
poor, and have no money to pay
their hands"
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1877-09-26

TIE following from the Toledo
gade so exactly expresses our senti-
,rsnt on the Green-back question,
that we gived place to it in our col
umns:
..There can be no legal issue of
naper money by the Nation until the
ranstitution is SO amended as to pre-
nit it. But even If it were premis-
sible it would bea power SO dangerous
in its nature that the people whose
uroperty interests were being con-
ttjpnalIy trihed with 10y politicians,
would arise in anger ami take it
away from them forever. 1t would
REQUIRE but very brief experience
with having the currency in the con-
troll of the politicians to secure the
restoration of the original Constitu-
tional prohibition. If neither the
State nor the General Government
can lawfully issue paper money, then
the duty of doing the same devolves
upon corporations and private inli-
yiduals, subject to the supervision
and regulation of the State. Exper-
fence in all countries has demon
,trated that this is the propec sys-
tenn to ADOPT. The next problem
for the Government is how to so reg
ulate and protect these issues of pa
per money as to secure its citizens
from loss. The same power exist
ing in the Government to severe
" punish a man for counterfeting
or debasing the coin of the country,
confers it the right and makes it the
duty of the Government to provide
that its people shall not be swindled
by deprecated or worthless paper
promises to pay money"

dollars worth of property and the thiev-
ing mob that ransacked freight. cars
and dwelling houses with equal impu-
nifty, was not the work of railway en-
ployes or Of any other class of laboring
men, it was the work of that large mob
of lazy thieving wretches who infest the
country and who would no more work
for ten dollars day than they would
for fifty cents day They don't want
work, they only ask for some such ocea-
sion as that of last Sunday at Pittsburg
SO they can steal with perfect freedom.
Nothing could go farther toward putting
down the riot and defeating the object
of the railway employees than having
the strike degenerate into thieving mob.
The railway employees who struck to
right one wrong have now brought upon
themselves another and greater wrong.
Such is the result of strikes; they often
work great damage to employer, but
more often work the greatest injury to
the strikers.

IT Is considered in administration
circles at Washington that Gen How
ards victory over chief Joseph has
practically put an end to the Idaho In
dian war. Official reports have been
received showing that many of the IN
dians are surrendering, and that chief
Joseph and such of his band us would
follow him have gone back in the di-
rection of the Cottonwood country.
The people are quieting down and re
turning to their homes. The govern
ment has sufficient force between the
Indians and settlements to soon put an
end to any Indian force that will be
brought against them.

DURING the Crimean campaign of one
year and a half, says a contemporary,
341 600 men were buried in the district
of Taurida, which includes the Crimea.
The Russians lost 10000 soldiers; the
English, French and Turks, 156, 900; and
there We're $4,000 Tartar victims. Of
this total, 324, 800 were inferred in the
Crimea, including 100000 in the neigh
borhood of Sebastapol. Those killed in
battle were but 10000, and, allowing an
equal number for the losses from wounds,
281 900 must have succumbed from dis
ease. The deaths of sick persons sent
away from the seat of war were about
10000 more, which makes the number
of dead from the Crimean campaign
alone over 401, 900. twill be seen from
the above calculation that, out of some
401 900 soldiers who succumbed during
the Crimean campaign, 10000 only were
killed in battle, some 100000 dying from
disease.
