intercessor for one unfortunate
belligerent, while acting also officially
for Europe. But it has to harmonic
this new character with the declarations
which it has repeatedly made, and with
the whole Of the conduct, of which the
least that can be said, is that it has now
prepared the world for the part it has
undertaken to play. On her majesty's
ministers may very much depend
whether the eastern question shall be
now settled, at least for many years to
come; or this war be followed by u
mere truce, the prelude to Il wargreater
and more disastrous than that which
we are now spectators. We are bound
to hope that they will prove equal to
their responsibilities.
THE BERLIN GAZETTE.
If England merely seeks to sound
Russia respecting her willingness
to make peace, credit may be awarded
Great Britain for her mcritorious inten-
ton. In any other case the theory Of
tic 1qcace R1tsM that mediation, unless
solicited by both hellgcrents, becomes
intervention, may assert itself re-
garding intervention. Russia, i'll the full
lillment of her mission, can scarcely be
stopped even by the clcverest moves on
the political chess board.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1878-01-04

THE finance statement for the last
quarter Of the year 1877 will show u
greater number Of failures than any
similar period since the war. The last
three months Of 1877 have been more
disastrous to the business Of the colln-
try than has been witnessed in many
years Many business men who con
pidcrcd themselves III reasonably good
circumstances on the first Of October
viii begin the new year almost penni-
lcss. The year 1878 begins with Ill
kinds Of business depressed to an extent
really alarming.

THE public might us well not credit
any Of the stories coming so frequently
over the wires from Washington, TO the
effect, that important changes are soon
10 occur in the cabinet There is no
reason to believe that there will be any
change, md the stories are owing chiefly
to the fact that sensational news cannot

THE stories Of the return OF Sitting
Bull to the United States, NJ well rs that
Of the Mes Pcrccs having fired the
prairics and started on another murder
ing expedition, seem to be false. There
is no real danger Of any further out
break by the Indians in any of the
northwest territories. The only Indian
troubles now, are those on the Mexican
border and those are unimportant

WHILE il is true that this country i
Mt present witnessing II depression IN all
kinds Of business disastrous III It's effects,
tho forthcoming annual report of the
Agricultural Bureau will show tho enor-
nous aggregate yield Of 360,OoO,0O0
bushels Of wheat for 1877, which IS So
100000 bushels moro than over before
produced. Tho same official authority
shows that the corn product WAS 300,
100000 bushels, with corresponding
large yields Of oats and potatoes. The
report shows that there never was greater
abundance in the land, Out Of the
wheat product it is estimated, dedueting
for home consumption i'll food and seed,
that upwards Of llo,ooo,o0o bushels OF
wheat can he spared for export.

AT last England has undertaken the
work Of making peace between Rlssia
and Turkey, and while ltussin will not
like il and is already making consider
able buster She viii probably soon see
the necessity Of observing dccorum
when She begins 10 get complicated
with England. The Turks are pretty
cnectunlly logged and mankind gencr-
ally il glad Of it; but England cannot
afford to permit RUSSIA to wipe the
ottoman Empire from among the nv
tons of Europe and Russia would be
going too far To expect it.

The Mexico City correspondent OF
the New York World has studied out
real ingcnius war scheme which he
will doubtless carry into execution inn
mcdiately. This scheme consists OF u
grand alliance offensive and defensive
between Mexico and Spain, against the
United States. Mexico and Spain-and
we presume Spain will bring Cuba along
Ia see the Americans skeedaddlc-wil
JOIN i'll war Of conquest against the
United States nj once and will share
equally all the territory north of the
Rio Grandc which they compel the
United States to cede them for the sake
of peace. This is in brief the plan Of
the Worlds correspondent and no doubt
il will work admirably rs the very sug-
gestion Of m alliance between Spain
and Mexico il enough 10 make Mr.
Hayes few subjects shake i'll their boots.
But this scheme Is certainly discussed
and that too with an abiding faith III is
feasibility by some If the citizens u
Mexico. Since Spain has failed after
eight years in SURPRISING the Cuban
rebellion the chances for her 70 get 4
share offexas is not ut present very
promising.

and others elsewhere. Only five rioters
were identified as Mexicans, and it is
thought there were not over ten from
that side, although the organized rioters
were 800 strong, and were accompanied
by about $50 thieves. The Mexican
authorities have posted large number
Of notices on both sides Of the river,
warming Mexican citizens against par
in the trouble.
NEZ PERCEs.
Official information from Big Horn
post, Montana, says two Ncz Pcrces
have come into camp having been in
Sitting Bulls camp, and report that a
white scout is in the camp Of the hos
tiles rs prisoner. The Nez Perces are
anxious to leave Sitting Bull, and are
slipping away when ever possible, but
arcafrald to come III body.
SITTING BULL.
Dispatches from Fort Buford says
Sitting Bull is reported encampcd on
Rock creek and committing some de
prcdations, chiefly On other Indians.
TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE ADJorRNs.
a Nashville telegram Of December
18th, says that the legislature
adjourned sine tie to-day, without
adopting any measure toward the com
promise Of the state debt, all PROPOSE
tons having been defeated by the OBJ
struetionists or low tux men, who de
sired TO agitatc the question before the
people ut the next election.
Don CARLOS BOUNCED.
A Paris Telegram Of the 10Th, states
that Don Carlos was ordered to quit
France, partly in consequence of ex-
Queen lsabclla'S overturcs to him.
Those overtures are regarded as an OK
preston Of her displcasurc NJ the mar
riage Of King Alfonso.
VALUE OF DEADWooD MINES.
a Deadwood dispatch Of December
Goth, says that the Golden Gate
Mining Company to-day CONSUME
mated - sale Of their mines, the Father
