WHAT the failure of the Ohio Trust Com.

to the panics and depression which followed
those events in this country, the Glasgow
crash may be to the serious business and
financial revulsion which now impends over
England and Scotland. 1t may be but the
signal bell of long list of disasters-the first
chapter in long record of hard times. The
London Times, which is not an alarmist in
its home monetary or business affairs, does
not hesitate to sound the warning now. 1t
admonishes the people 10 be prepared for the
worst. 1t tells them the situation is indeed
serious. 1t is fortunate for this country that
we are now emerging from the ruins of our
crash, but woe to those who would invite

THE fiatists, although they failed to poll a
respectable number of votes, says contem.

All they have to do is to say, "This is

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times says that of the correctness
of the Tribune's translation of the Florida
cipher dispatches no one at the national
capital has the slightest doubt. Aud he adds
that those familiar with the attempted bri-
berry in Oregon are convinced that Tilden
knew all about the effort to bribe one of the
Florida electors. The fact that Tilden and
the Democratic leaders made desperate
attempt to defeat the popular will in South
Carolina and Louisiana as we'll as in Florida
has long been suspected in Washington, and
now, the correspondent says, all doubt of it
is removed.

THE Cleveland Anzeiger, after looking
over the results of Tuesdays elections, is
satisfied that the Democratic party is too
deeply involved in the fiat movement to re-
turn to its old hard-money principle. And if
it should now seek to do so no one would
believe it. 1t thinks the process which be-
gan in Maine and Massachusetts of the
swallowing of the Democracy by the Ma
tional party must 60 on until both, already
as good as agreed in their purposes, are
Joined in name, and as the party of mega
ton are arrayed in the next Presidential
campaign in opposition to the party of posi-
tive priIciples-the Republican party. In
view of the victory in Ohio it thinks that no
Republican will have cause to fear the result.

UNHAPPY MARRIAGES The univer-
sal expectation of married people is, that
their lives will always be happy ones.
Deluded dreamers! They imagine that
they are different from other people,
and that when they enter the portals Of
matrimony, love, peace, aud prosperity
will ever be their attendants. Such had
better consider themselves the same as
others, but form iron resolutions to do
differently from other married people
resolutions that will keep them from
the dangerous coasts on which so many
have been wrecked and ruined. I'm
happy marriages depend upon many
causes. Previous to marriage, many try
To appear more intellectual, more amia-
ble, or more accomplished than they
really are. Depend Upon 1t, that love
brought into existence by a moonlight
stroll, strengthened by deceit aud FASH
ionable displays, aud finally consum-
mated through the Influence of intrigu-
ing friends, will fade in after life almost
as fast as the flowers which compose
the bridal wreath.

man, and the ayes and noes throughout
display the same singular sandwisbing
of Republican aud Democrat. The
country will, through this anomaly, be
compelled to saddle whatever response
hility is involved upon the Senators, in
dividually, and we should not be sur
prised if there would not be to some Of
the participants in this debate a calling
to account in the future, pretty much
as with the credit mobilier matters.
Our past letters have shown our sym
pathies TO be wholly with Messrs. Ed
munds and Thurman, and the final ar
guments have only served to strengthen
our convictions.
The House is moving alongas serenely
as a summers calm, after its storm
about the new door-keeper, Field. Both
parties tried hard to make political cap
ital out of it, and, from their stand
points, seem to have succeeded, at least
each is crying victory over the other by
the matching Of Ben Buffers strategy
in compelling the Democrats to ignore
General Shields with the adroit flank
movement Of Mr.. Bragg, by which all
parties voted to put General Shields on
the retired list. Considerable mud was
thrown during the debate, aud it was a
difficult matter to determine who got
the worst Of the war of words. Mr..
Blackburn said that the only confeder-
ate ever hurt 10y General Butler was the
one civilian hanged ia New Orleans.
But it was diamond cut diamond. Mr..
Butler is master of sarcasm, aud par
ticularly 50 when after Sunset COx's
scalp. Tie wit aud drollery Of Mr.. Cox
is not a match for Buffers sarcasm,
and, as a consequence, be is nearly al
ways worsted ia au encounter character
lied by the personalities aud political
mud. 1linging after debate upon Mr..
Fields election as door-keeper. These
worly duels, however, are Intensely iu-
teEestiug TO the non-parlicipants. The
members are all in their seats aud cease
their turmoil, which makes the floor
usually akin 10 Jedian, and they laugh
aud applaud every hit as heartily as tue
spectators iu the galleries. FELIX.

AUSTRIA OUrwlrTED. Austria has
long been anxious fof moreAterritory.
Aadrassy especially, is ambitious of
extending the boundaries and influence
Of his government to the uttermost
limit. Austria was silenced during the
late Russo Turkish war only by a quiet
understanding that she wa to have the
gift of territory. In the Berlin con-
gress Russia and Germany earnestly IA
vored giving to Austria the provinces
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina. And in
deed the former has since urged Aus
tria to declare the permanent annexa-
tion of those provinces.
1t would now seem rs il it were a
shrewd move on the part of Russia and
Germany to effectually tie the hands Of
Austria. . They may now go on with
any scheme they choose and Austria
cannot object. She is sufficiently In
terested in holding her conquered prov
inces with nj hand and preventing an
outbreak of the Hungarians with the
other. With these gigantic tasks the
porte well knows that Austria cannot
resent too forcibly every little effront.
Hence the sarcastic tone of Turkeys
note to Austria, in which the porte has
endeavored to place Austria in a false
position. tGgf hff .i1l. 4a.f.. f.f

J loemooraae Platform Of Wyoming.

~ @f-TaA
The democratic party, of the Terri
tory of Wyoming, in convention assem-
bled, reaffirm their faith in and de-
votion to the union and the constitu-
ton, with all its amendments, and
declare as Il strict constitution, home
rule, and the supremacy of the civil
over the military power, the equal
ity of all citizens before the law, liberty
of individual action, untrameled by ar
bitrary laws, acquiescence in the law
fully expressed will of the majority,
elections free from governmental, cor
porate or individual control, except so
far as obedience of the law demands
and are essential to the preservation of
a free government.
The democrats of this territory de-
clare in favor of free tariff and against
protection. Declares unalterably adj
verse to substituting railroads or other
private corporations, either in lands,
moneys or bonds, by the territory, coun-
ties or any municipality, except by due
consent of the electors.
We are against Il system of evenue
which discriminates in favor of the
rich and adverse to the poor. We are
for men of moral and mental worth in
all public offices, and against profess
sional office-hunters in or out of the
party, and we believe that in the pre-
%sentation of the Hon. Z. L. Pease, we
have a candidate in whom there is no
guile but a faithful representative of
democratic principles, and earnestly
recommend the choice of this conven-
ton to the honest suffrages of the peo-
pie of this territory, believing that due
merit will be rewarded.
The democracy of this territory.
through their representatives in con-
yention assembled, do arraign the re-
publican party of the crime of defraud-
ing the nation of its president, Justly
elected and do further arraign the re-
publican party Of the territory for hav-
ing elected to the high office of delegate
in congress for two years, n who has
accomplished but little in the interests
of the territory or its people, notwith-
standing his eloquent labors, while his
predecessor, Hon. w. r. Steele, always
made known to the people his action in
their behalf, and the legislation accom-
plished. to all of which the people uni
versally expressed their appreciation.
We believe in the eradication of the
national bank system, and are in favor
of the substitution in their stead the
currency of the United States issued by
legal authority, and receivable for all
private and public dues.
We believe the interests Of the terri
tory demands the immediate transfer
of the Indians from the interior de-
partment to the war Department. and
that they be placed upon their reserva-
tons and compelled by the arbitrament
Of the sword to remain there. , n
We believe it to be in the power of

of the ''posse comitatus, to crush out
of existence the road agents and horse
thieves Of this territory, and the de-
mand of this convention is that the
