CHARLEY FOSTER assures us that the con-
tributions to the Republican corruption
fund as as liberal as ever before, but it is
noticeable that the committee is not making
as big spread as heretofore, and is hiring
no expensive speakers to canvass either
Ohio or Indiana. All the stumping in those
States is to be done by the candidates them
selves. This state of facts does not indicate
q plethoric purse.

His conclusions are indisputable that
greenbacks should constitute the currency of
the country, and that the national bank sys-
tenn should be abolished as expensive, based
on false theory of finance, and wholly per-
| nicious.
For the present business depression Sena-
tor Thurman arraigns the Republican party
in strong though temperate language, and
| condemns the proposed resumption of
| specie payments as wholly improbable and
| calculated to create instability through the
impossibility Of maintaining specie basis.
He then proceeds to charge the dominant
party with extravaganza in the management
of the government, supporting his allega-
tons with official figures. Leaving out all
expenses caused by or traceable to the war,
he shows that the Republican administra
ton has expended an average of two and
half times the amount for the ordinary ex-
penses of the government that was expended
by the last Democratic administrations, or
an average expenditure of $1.94 per
capita under Democratic rule against an
average expenditure of $3.45 per capita I'M
der Republican rule.
recapitulation of the public corruptions
that have brought such deep disgrace upon
tie nation during the dominance of the Re-
publican party, Mr.. Thurman avoids, a bare
reference to them being calculated to awaken
loathing and indignation. He, however,
handles the great electoral conspiracy, by
means of which President never elected
was placed in the White House, without
gloves He denounces the actors in the
tragedy unsparingly, and exhorts his hearers,
by all they hold sacred and dear, to manifest,
in no uncertain tones, their adherence of the
great conspiracy.
With brief reference to the policy of the
Republican party in seeking to stir up sec
tional strife and to prolong the animosities
engendered by the war, coupled with an ear
nest protest against such manifestly hate
full policy, Mr.. Thurman closed what was
perhaps the best speech of the campaign
1t was not remarkable for its fine rhetoric or
for its forid appeals to the predjudices or
passions of the masses, but rather for its
calm presentation of pending issues, its
close, convincing reasoning, its entire want
of prejudice in dealing with the themes that
demanded his attention. It was a statement
of his own principles and the principles of
the Democratic party, and a demonstration
that those principles are logical, reasonable,
and calculated to work benefit
to the country-to stem the tide Of
bankruptcy; restore prosperity to the labor
ing classes; give the country safe and con-
venlent currency; restore economy and hon
esty to the administration of our govern
ment, and assist in the re-establishing OF
that fraternity between the sections that
ought to characterize the people.

ONE Of the most remarkable applica-
tlons Of photography is that by which
1t is now made to register, and in the
most accurate manner, the mechanical
motion of the heart. The device bv
which this result is attained is indeed a
triumph Of inventivc skill. 1t consists
of thin india-rubber bag, to which a
short glass tube is attached; sufficient
mercury is poured into the apparatus
to fill the bag and a portion Of the tube,
and the instrument is then placed over
the heart of the person to be examined.
Arranged in this manner. every pulsa-
ton of the heart is indicated by CORE
spending movement of the mercury in
the tube, and, by suitable Photographic
apparatus, provided with a moving
sensitive slip of paper. a perfect registra-
ton of the extent and rate Of the pulsa-
ton is obtained. The interesting fact
is made known by this process that the
fall Of the pulse som etimes takes place
in successive horizontal lines, the column
"eascending two or three times before
failing altogether. t.... p H..

A Local Industry.

The Japanese raise mushrooms on
decayed roots, stumps or logs. Certain
varieties of the oak tree, when cut
down, furnish the most acceptable
mushrooms. Incisions are cut through
the outer bark of the logs, which are
made by splitting trunk into quarters.
The logs are left in the forest to rot for
about three years, when mushrooms
grow upon them if the rotten portion
of the wood be scraped away. After
the first crop IS removed, the logs are
put into water in the morning, and in
the afternoon are beaten with mallet;
they are then ranged on end slanting,
in the forest. and the mushrooms grow
again upon them. This process is con-
tinuousiy repeated, and it is found that
the largest mushrooms grow upon the
logs that are beaten hardest.
Another method of culture consists
in burying,the logs. The Japanese dry
their mushrooms by artificial heat,
slowly and carefully applied. The in
dustry is of some magnitude, and a
considerable portion of the dried pro-
duct is exported.

Said he, in effect: Brethren there
happened in that ante-room just now a
circumstance shall never forget. You
remember that David in the cave of
Adullam sighed for water from the we'll
of Bethlehem, and that three young
men, at the peril Of their lives, brought
the longed-for water, which David
would not, after all, drink, since it had
been procured at the peril of life. He
therefore poured out the water as liba-
ton before the Lord" Said the speak

Ohio Democracy.

The Ohio democratic state conven-

city of Columbus, June 26: Dublin
Ward was chosen permanent chair
man and p. S. Dodds, Of
Toledo, secretary. The following
ticket was nominated: For sec
rotary of state, David r. Page, of Sum-
NIT; for supreme judge, A. F. Hume,
of Butler: member of the board of pub
lie works, Rush Field, of Richland.
The following platform was adopted:
assembled, hereby reafirm the following clauses
in the platform Of the convention of July 25th
1877, endorsed by Il ma orty OF m ore than % 600
last fall by the people o: Ohio. We renew our
pledges of devotion to the Union and the consti-
tuition, with all its amendments. 1t declares as
essential to the preservation of this government
faithful adherence to the following principles:
Strict construction of the constitution: home
separation Of the church and state; liberty of
all individual action unveXed by sumptuary laws;
absolute acqulescence in the lawfully expressed
Will of the ma ority; opposition to all subsidies:
preservation of the public lands for the use of
actual settlers and the maintenance and protec-
ton of the common school system pertinent
to the issues now pending before the people.
ReSotred, That the investigation of the frauds
committed at the last presidential
election in Florida and Louisiana ought to have
been made by electoral commission. Its refusal
TO do so was a violation Of the spirit of the law
under which it was organized, and a gross insult
to the people of the United States, and whilst the
decision made by the 44th congress of the question
as to who should be declared president of the
United for the present presidential term was, in
our Judgment, final. that decision ought not to
preclude an authentic Investigation and exposure
OF all the frauds connected with that election
and the due accountability of all who were guilt
ii Y connected with them.

The Rush for Lands.
st. Paul Pioneer Press, June %,

The immense rush of INN. igration to
this state and the rapid absorption of
the public, and railroad lands has here
tofore been illustrated in these columns
by the statistics Of land sales by the
railroad companies and of the home
steads, presumption and other entries at
the United States land offices. There
has as yet been no diminution of this
great rush for the fertile lands in the
western part of this state and alcng the
Northern Pacific, in Dakota Territory.
lhe sales and entries of land in the
month of May, far exceed those of any
previous month. Following, for ex-
ample, are the sales for the month of
May, of the three principal land grant

The homestead, pre-emption and
other entries at the United States land
Offices during May were corresponding
~ large. Thus at the land office at Far
go $40 new claims were made in May,
aggregating 12S,O22 acres; while at Fer
gus Falls 517 new claims were entered,
embracing SO, S04 acres. At the Benson
land office the land entries amounted to
ID, 1853 acres. A similar large business
was done at the Detroit land office. but
as that office is in process of removal
the figures could not be obtained. But
the entries there and at all the western
land offices have been unprecedentedlv
large. Apropos of this rapid develop
ment of western Minnesota and Dakota,
we print a letter from L. B.
Hodges, descriptive of the marvellous
which the country has
undergone along the main line Of the
st. Paul Il Pacific. The same meta
morphosis is visible along the line ofthe
Sioux City & st. Paul. The change
from vast voids of solitary plain to miles
upon miles of plowed fields, and the
busy life of just opened farms is still
more conspicuous along the line Of the |
Northern Pacific in Dakota Territory. |
lens Of thousands of acres of virgin SOL |
have been plowed this year in the high
plains,west of the Red river vaIley-and
On this side Of the Red river the same
activity In opening new farms is every
where to be seen. It is entirely within |
bounds to say that more new farms |
nave been opened in western Minnesota
this year than in the whole state in
any two previous years of its existence.
