GEN. ED. BRAGG of Wisconsin, may
not be statesman in the liberal sense
of the word, but he may be of some SER
vice to the country. At all events he is
making himself unpopular with some of
the democratic leaders in the House,
which is something in his favor. The
Chicago Times thus sets him up:
Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin. has been a
regular thorn In the side of the appro-
priation committee ever since it has
been trespassing on what he calls the
province of his military committee.
Bragg is coming out strong as house
character. He is cool, always self-pos
sessed, has a clear penetrating voice,
and has malicious way about him that
is as entertaining to spectators as it is
uncomfortable for his victims. He
made good point to-day in showing
that the appropriation committee was
extravagant, and then In driving it over
to the extravagant side of the House for
support. Both Burnam and Atkins
showed their weakness by becoming
very angry at Bragg, and attempted in
the cheapest way to put him down, but
Bragg would not be put down. Al
though new member, he was as adroit
and self-possessed as if he had always
been in Congress. That Bragg really
made good points to-day was shown in
the fact that nearly every one in the
galleries was inquiring who he was.
He consulted occasionally with Gabe
Bouck, and it is on the cards that this
eccentric statesman Will shortly make
his oratorical debut.

A GLUT OF SuvER.-While our So
called statesmen are discussing the bill
to remonetize the silver dollar, and the
great majority of them are talking about
the blessings that such a measure would
confer upon the people, the merchants
of New York, large and small, are eXper-
fencing Inconvenience of a glut of silver.
Laborers, mechanics, and operators IN
factories are paid in large measure in
silver coin. They in turn pay their
bills at the grocery with it, and the
grocer pays it to the wholesale merchant
or manufacturer. Neither can refuse it
for in that event he would lose trade.
OF course the large dealers, in this way,
soon accumulate q surplus above their
outgoes, and they deposit or rather seek
to deposit it, to their account with the
banks But the banks finding it incon-
venient to handle, are beginning to re-
fuse to take it, except IN very limited
sums. Those who receive it in the
course of trade are thus compelled to
sell it at discount to any one that will
buy it. And 50 it rolls heavily through
the channels of trade, at loss to most
of those who touch it. The same thing
was experienced in Canada during and
for some time after our war, when the
most of our silver coin went thither.
Silver became such a drug that there
were bitter complaints from tradesmen,
and they finally refused to take Ameri-
can silver, except at discount that
would insure them against loss.
With these facts before it, congress is
determined TO set the minis running to
their full extent in coming silver Of an
intrinsic value less than the trade dollar,
which is now at discount in New York.
1t may be answered that congress pro-
poses to make it legal-tender for all
debts public and private, and that that
will aid, or rather compel its circulation.
But that will not prevent its numbering
up the channels of trade. The truth IS
that silver is not valuable enough for a
coin of unlimited legal-tender, and its
coinage as such will prove to be an I'M
mitigated nuisance. If it is found TO be
such now, with its volume so small CON-
paratiyely as it is. what a plague would
it not prove with its volume unlimited?
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1878-02-28

THE Sentinel calls attention to the
fact that thus far no serious effort has
been made in the present Congress
to prevent the recurrence of another
presidential election trouble and its at
tendat dangers. It does not seem likely
that constitutional amendment provid-
ing definitely for the counting of the
electoral vote will become law before
the next presidential election. Exper,
fence should have taught that this was
the most important and urgent duty of
the present Congress, which prefers to
wrangle over old quarrels to guarding
against their recurrence.

The EFFECT OF SILVER LEGISLATION.
The other day when the silver bill
passed the senate, citizen who wanted
a glass of beer entered saloon on Ran
dolph street, threw down half dollar,
and asked:
"Heard about the passage of the sill
yer bilI?"
'.Not vot I knows of" was the calm
reply.
''WelI, it has passed, and that half
dollar is now worth fifty-five cents"
The saloonist looked hard at the mon.
ey, made change very slowly, and asked
''You heardt about de passage of dot
copper pill, eh2''
sNol What bill is that?"
sit vosh a pill What says dot all de1
coppers in der country are wort
dree cents apiece"
He handed out three tens, nickle
and five pennies, counting every penny
three, and returning according to his
count, fifty cents. The drinker slowly
scraped the money off the counter,
coughed and tried to smile, and as he
slowly sauntered out he was heard tc
mutter hope that the red ribbon move
ment would continue to progress.

HERE and there is an occasional paper
which expects wonderful relief to the
business of the country from the opera
tons of the silver bill. 1t doesn't occur
TO some that on their own theory the
value of silver will advance, and that
dollars for n million dollars worth of
silver. The people are taxed to pay for
this silver which is to be turned into
dollars. 1t is clearly great cry and lit
tie siiver-the entire capacity of the
minis, according to Director Lindemann,

4 VAR PROPHECY.

In our daily issue of October D, 1876,
when there was general belief that war
would be prevented by a conference of
the European powers, we gave IN these
columns 4 curious Interpretation of the
Scripture view of the trouble, which
predicted that war would certainly en-
sue. Last May we were called on to
reprint the principal part of that article,
in consequence of the remarkable full
fillment of the Interpretation given to
the predictions in the eleventh chapter
of Daniel, as republished from Mr..
Baldwin, book entitled "ArmageddOn,
or the United States in Prophecy. =
Since then the fulfillment has continued
in the most extraordinary manner, even
to the chronological succession of the
events foretold, and we are In receipt of
frequent inquiries from our readers con-
corning the matter. For the satisfac-
ton of those we will recapitulate the
predictions to be verified in the near
future.
According to Mr.. Baldwin s interpre
tation, England will soon come against
Russia like vhirlwind, with mighty
array of military, especially of naval
strength. but will fail to prevent the
Cars progress, who will cross over into
Asia, and rapidly possess himself OF ali
Turkey in that continent. With a great
increase of his armies and his triumphs.
he is to occupy Palestine as a conGueror.
Many countries are to be involved IN
his march of conquest, and Egypt
is to feel the pressure of his power. He
is to be successful beyond the most san
guine anticipations which he INDUCED
at the beginning of the war. Various
nations are to be so dazzled and over
awed by his wonderful exploits and &C.
cumulating authority, that they will
seek his friendship and place their MIL
itary forces at this disposal. During
his victorious career, he is to be pro-
foundly disturbed and greatly enraged
by instructions or other forms of OPP
position, which he is to visit with the
blind fury of bloody retribution and e1-
terminating force. Before his end, he
is to reconstitute the old Roman Empire
in three continents, after which, pulled
up with the arrogance of almost unlimit-
ed sovereignty, and goaded on by an
Unsuitable ambition, he is to assail the
United States with tremendous array
of military forces, drawn from many
peoples and languages, but IS to perish
miserably, with his vast host, on great
CLAIM between the Atlantic and the Pacl-
fic Oceans. That event is to signal the
downfall of thrones and the end of mon
archy in all Europe. Such are the IN
terpretations of Daniels prophecy, as
given in Mr.. Baldwin's book.-Il1teT
Ocean.

BE IN EDITOR.

A fellow writes from one OF the rural
villages of Tennessee: 81 have been
teaching school ever since quit school
about year ago, but do not like 1t.
It is time / chose profession, and L
think would rather be an editor than
anything else, for [ like ease and COM
fort and plenty of money, and do not
like to work. To be an editor, to sit IN
an elegant sanctum, with nothing to do
but write when 1 felt like it, to have
plenty of monev and go where and when
I please, free of cost, and lead the editors
quiet life of ease, without care OF trouble
of any sort, is the height of my ambl-
ton Ny friends think 1 ought to study
law or medicine, Or keep on teaching;
but to be q lawyer or doctor requires
too much study, and too much brains TO
start with, and teaching is too hard work.
Under these circumstances, would not
Won advise me to become an edltor!'
We certainly would; your ideas of the
life of an editor, and of his surroundings
and freedom from care and toll, are
singularly accurate. An editor IS the
happiest being on earth. He has little
or nothing to do, and his pay is all that
heart could wish. His sanctum, with
its Persian rugs and Turkey carpets, its
costly rosewood furniture, its magnlh-
cent mirrors, its beautiful pictures, its
complete library of spIendldly bound
books, its buffet stocked with the finest
of wines, liquors, and cigars, which
cost him but puff OF two, its silver bell
to summon an attendant whenever
iulep or cocktail is wanted, and, In
short, with it's everything that human
ingenuity can devise for his comfort
and pleasure. is perfect little paradise,
where he sits or lounges and reigns
young lord, with the world of fashion
and pleasure at his feet. And then any
body can be an editor-no study, no
preparation, no brains, nothing but
little money to start with, and once
started the money pours in upon you in
a steady stream, and the chief labor of
your life is to spend it. AS for the la
Dor of editing paper, that is mere
| moonshine. A mere glance at the col
| umns of newspaper is enough to con-
vince you that it requires no labor to
edit it and less brains. It is certainly a
| glorious life, that of an editor, life of
| luxurious ease and elegant leisure-a
| life for the gods, filed, like that of the
| young lover in his first sweet dream Of
requited love, with flutes and ross leaves
and moon beams,
While not wave of trouble rolls
| Across his peaceful breast.
| and that all men are not editors is one
of the strangest things beneath the stars.

A SENTNEL special from Viroaua. on
the 9th, relates how, as Peter Ouack-
enbush, OF Clinton, was returning home
from Pine Hollow, where he had made
the purchase of quart of alcohol, the
bottle was accidentally broken and the
contents emptied over the clothing of
the unfortunate Peter. When he reach
ed home he stripped himself and began
to dry his clothing By holding it near
the stove. In this manner he was dry-
ing his shirt, and perhaps thinking this
slow process, made the remark that he
would dry the thing, ct the same time
touching lighted match to the garment,
which, being completely saturated with
the alcohol, burned like powder, and
was not e1tinguished TIL it had made
one complete blister of Quackenbush.
He had been drinking and was undoubt-
eify drunk at the time of the accident.
The wounds are very seFere and Will
doubtless prove tstsl.
