Kelle1''s Vegetable Life Drops
Liver CQMpL- Amt,

When from any of the numerous incl
ting causes the Liver begins to act abnor-
mally, the bile remains in the system,
Whaling and perverting every vital pro-
cess, and causing Boils, Carbuncles,
Blotches, Pimples, Coughs, Bronchitis.
Asthma, Consumption, Dysentery, Kid
ney and Bladder diseases, and many other
disorders, all originating directly or indi-
rectly from the Liver. Kellers Vegetable
Life Drops induce the healthy action of
the Liver by providing for the removal of
the hillary constituents by the Bowels,
Kidneys and Skin.

Navajo and Argenta mines, and that

What a Humboldter Says of the
Situation ia the states.

What "a Hamboldter Says of the
situation ia the states.
T. j. Bradshaw, who has just returned
from visit to relatives in the Western
States, describes the situation as fol-
lows:
Fully one-third of the farms in Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska are mortgaged to
National banks.
The mortgages were given when
greenbacks were worth from Go to 80
cents on the dollar, and. unless they
are cancelled before next January, they
will have to be paid in coin, if the Re-
sumption Act is not repealed. Every
body but the bond holders rejoiced at
the passage of the silver bill.
The Republican and Democratic
parties are virtually abandoned by the
people, who are almost unanimously in
favor of the repeal of the Resumption
Act and declaring for the Greenback
party.
Counties in Kansas, which gave
Peter Cooper less than dozen votes at
the Presidential election, have since
elected candidates on the Greenback
platform by large majoritie9.
The winter has been unusually wet.
and the mud on the prairies when be
left, week ago, was from Sax inches to
a foot deep.
There is no gold, and very little sill
yer, III circulation. and banks consider
it a favor to exchange grecnbacks for
twenty dollar pieces.
Times are hard, money scarce and
the people determined to secure the re-
peal Of the Resumption Act and
National bank laws, aud make green
backs and silver the money of the
country.

The Coming War In Europe.

1t no longer seems possible to doubt thai
in due time war will be declared between
England and Russia. How long time NAV
elapse before this declaration will doubtless
depend upon Russia. The interest of Eng.
land is to protract negotiations, to bring
forward side issues and novel propositions,
and to put off the decisive moment as lone
as possible Meanwhile the Russian rulers
are compelled to maintain their large armies
far from home, and even to increase them
though the cost of transportation and OF
supplies is something enormous; and thus
every day that this condition endures Russia
is weakened by an expenditure which she can
i'll afford, while England leisurely prepares,
and, gathering together her immense military
and naval appliances, becomes stronger as
her enemy is debiltated
The bringing OF the British Indian army
into such struggle is new and rather n
startling feature 1t indicates the possibility
of q change in the fighting relations of the
world which shall place the British empire
in the very first rank as q military power
Out of her two hundred and forty millions
of people, India can furnish an almost unlim-
tied number of first-rate soldiers, and the
cost to the British Treasury of putting into
the field in Europe military force of vast
proportions derived from this new source ia
so much smaller than that of maintaining
similar force of Europeans, that all European
statesmen must at once perceive that they
here have to deal with elements as formula
BILE as they are unexpected
There can be no doubt, we think, that in n
war between England and Russia the latter
power must go to the wall. She is exhaust.
ed by the immense efforts she had to make
last year against Turkey. Her treasury is
empty; poverty and distress are among her
people. England, on the other hand, is both
rich and strong. She has money she can
have as many soldiers as she pleases; and
she has the most powerful navy in the world
Single handed she is we think, more than
Il match for Russia; but if she has Austria
and Turkey to back her, she will have Rus
at her mercy just as much as for the last six
months Russia has had Turkey at hers. But
how can such a confagration be kept from
spreading? Will not Germany be compelled
to intervene to save Russia from too fatal an
overthrow Can France remain entirely
neutral when such struggle in going on ?
The mind is bewildered by the boundless
possibilities of this unparalleled problem
