THE opinion is expressed freely at
one of the legations at Washington
most likely to be we'll informed of the
condition of affairs between European
governments, that war between Russia
and England cannot now be avoided, or
very long delayed. tits also predicted
that the conflict will involve the other
nations of Europe The Berlin treaty
is pronounced a failure.

The Greenback paper at Des Moines
has gone the way of all frauds: whe re
the woodbine twineth the spout,
&c. The Greenback organ of this dis
trict is quite likely to follow suit. The
new pastures in which it can browse
the other communities in which it can
establish branch Offices" the mem
bers of it's party it can bleed-all are
getting few and far between. Only one
resource is left:-the manager might 60

method. DEBORAH Republican.

Our contemporaries are quoting the
Postville Reuie,o as an independent
Greenback paper" to the effect that
"the Greenback party has received it's
death wound" &C. We are grati6ed %
that the Reuiew's political status is thus
definitely fixed, and (2) that it has fenc-
ed itself out of the Greenback field in
the future Our friend Burdick has
been somewhat breechy of late, and
wandered off into all sorts of pastures.

Local advertisers in various villages are be-
ginning to complain bitterly of the necessity
of supporting so man useless papers. The
fact is it is a provoking tax for business
man to feel obliged to use three or four papers
when he knows the whole field to be covered
by one .-EUfdder Journal.
We do not know why business men
should feel obliged to support useless
papers. Let them fully make up their
minds which papers are correctly de-
scribed by that term, and then proceed
vigorously to let them alone. The fact
is, business men are. themselves to
blame in the matter of the newspaper
abortions found all over the country.
They contribute by their patronage to
the support of papers which they admit
have no right to live, because their ex-
istence meets no public necessity or
popular demand. Papers started to sub
serve the ambition of some aspirant for
office, or for any temporary or Interior
purpose, are not legitimate business en-
terprises, and are not entitled to the
patronage of legitimate business men.
Furthermore, money paid to such con-
Germs is usually thrown away.

HoN. J. G. PATTERSON, of Charles
City, attorney of the Iowa Division of
the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul R.
r., was, on Wednesday, killed by an ac-
cldent on the newly constructed section
of said road, about II miles west of
Spencer, Clay county. Mr.. Patterson,
Mr.. Fred Merrill, of Milwaukee, F.
Church, expressman, and John Mullen,
a brakeman, were on the rear car of a
construction train, when the train flew
the track, throwing several cars down a
II feet embankment. Mr.. Patterson
lived but half an hour and the rest were
seriously injured Mr. Patterson was
one of the oldest settlers Of Floyd coun-
ty, and man of prominence in the COM
munity. He served his district ably
for two terms in the State Senate, and
has been mentioned in connection with
higher political honors. He was in the
prime of life, with vigorous frame and
possessed Of great mental and physical
energy. His loss will be deeply deplored
at Charles. CITY.

working with holy zeal, he said:

CHARLES Francis ADAMS, the blue
blooded statesman of Massachusetts,
when his opinion was asked the other
day about the Tilden cipher kilograms
said: Il am only private citizen, en-
tirely retired from public life, and I
positively decline to be drawn into this
matter" The fact that he was a pri-
vate citizen did not prevent Mr. Adams
from abusing President Hayes, and de-
nouncing as fraudulent the means by
which he was seated, but now that the
proof of rascality comes home to his
dear friend Tilden, Mr.. Adams has moth
ing to say. 1t is very good illustra-
ton of the facility with which frigid
ultra-respectable statesman may sink
into contemplate partisan.

Watching Each Other.
State Register.

Mr.. Gillette is evidently afraid his
Democratic allies think Of cheating him
out of his seat in Congress by holding
an election in some of the back counties
next Tuesday. He and his chief stat,
MIR. M. H. King, have been arranging
things for three or four days past-in-
Guiding Sunday-so as to have the
Democratic boys watched in all the
Counties and an extra Greenback cleo
ton held in each County of the District
if it shall be found necessary. It is a
happy family-the fusion concern
each wing of it afraid of the other.

THE Daily People, the State organ Of
the Greenback party has gone into re-
tirement, otherwise, played out, sus-
pended. Its retirement from the field
of action leaves no aching void, except
in the pockets of the deluded people
and candidates who succumbed to its
Matchmaking demands for funds. In
giving up the ghost, it sets a commend
able example to other organs of false
hood, prejudice and communism through
out the State.

What 1t Is Full OF.

Congressman Frye tells good story
in regard to the effect of the greenback
agitation on some minds. He was max
ing call at the Office Of manufacturer
in Manchester, N. H., when rough
looking countryman came in to transact
some business. After the matter had
been concluded, the manufacturer in
CURED: well, John, have you thought
over this greenback question:" "Yes, a
little" was the reply. "And have you
reached any conclusion?" Well, it
seems to me it's like rum drinker' s
bottle; it's full Of temporary consola-
ton and eternal damnation."

The New York Herald Of the 23d cor

stability; and it warns the Democrats
that tramps will not elect the next

Gen. Hawley in a recent speech ON
the financial question, thus aptly illus
trates the folly of taking backward
steps in the policy of resumption:
Il once read of a man who started to
walk around a pond He got three
fourths of the way and, looking at his
watch, thought it so near dinner time
that he could not finish his walk in
season, so he hurried back the way he
came. If he is living he will be found
advocating a repeal of the resumption

Allen, Dem, APT. behring's majority
over Weller is 1883; over Allen 1898

endorsement we'll deserved.

THE DEBORAH Republican is Of the
opinion that the only remedy for South
ern Democratic lawlessness and politi-
cal persecution and brutality, is in the
hands of the Southern Republicans
themselves, and that that remedy is to
meet force with force. 1t says:
When tho red shirts" the rifle clubs and
the white leagues are told they will receive
Just such treatment as they give that shot
guns will be met with shot guns, reyOlverS
with revOlvers, and night marauding with
night marauding, a healthy respect for their
own precious skins will force the chivalry into
obeyng the laws of fairness and honor.
1t is undoubtedly true, that until the
black Republicans in the South shall
have arisen to a consciousness of their
own strength, and a determination to
make use of it in defending their politi-
cal rights, no permanent recognition of
those rights need be looked for. This
disposition to jealousy guard and main
tain his privileges, is one of the indis-
pcnsible qualifications of an Americ an
freeman, and any class of citizens de-
void of it, or incapable of growing into
it, is an obstacle in the way of national
progress. We believe the time will
come when majorities in the South,
however composed will assert their pro-
per influence and supremacy in affairs.
Meanwhile, it is the manifest duty of
the government to enforce all laws for
the protection of the citizen in his po-
litical privileges, and in so doing to ex-
ercise any power calculated to effectual-
ly accomplish that purpose.

THE Muscatine journal, referring to
the return Of four incurable patients to
that county, from the Mt. Pleasant In
sane Hospital, on account OF lack of
room in the institution for their accom-
mediation, says:
Unless their friends are able to provide Tor
them, they must be sent to the poor house, as
the county has no other means of keeping
them. 1t is strange that with two immense
hospitals for the insane, and with the tax paid
for the purpose, our State is not able to pro-
vide places for these unfortunate people.
They can be kept much more comfortably and
cheaply in public institution than among
their friends, or than by each county provid-
ing for its own. This is Il subject demanding
the earnest and early attention of our State
authorities.
If we mistake not, the journal was
one of the papers that insisted strenu-
ously upon the cutting down of all APP
preparations for State institutions, at
the last session of the Legislature. 1t
was in Difference to the loud and indis-
criminate demand for retrenchment,"
raised by a certain portion of the press
at that time, that the Legislature re-
fused to appropriate money sufficient
to push the work of enlargement and
completion of the Insane Hospitals, and
now the results are becoming apparent,
in the necessity to remand unfortunates
that should have the care and comfort
of the hospitals, back to the almshouses
of the State.

northern Dakota during the trip. This

We conclude from all the indications that
our delegate would very much like to be re
turned to congress and it appears to US that
his chances are equal to those Of any other
aspirant. he will not, however. be accord,

have been developed, new men have come

and new era In the affairs of the territory
has been reached which induce men tc
think strongly upon the subject Of political
preferment. Judge Kidder will make {
good run, for he has been, and is, {
