The term Nihilist, given to the Russ

THE term Nihilist, given to the Russian
radicals, was suggested by the Latin
word ndhdl, nothing, and was first used
by the novelist Tourganeiff in his novel
"Peres ct Enfants'' Gathers and Sons),
published in 1862. Tourganieff travelled
in Russia during 1860, before the radical
party existed, and met young doctor
named Andretef, who believed in moth
ing, despised his fellow creatures. saw
nothing in the world but hypocrisy and
illusion, and wrapped himself in COM
plete Indifference to individuals or
events. It was he who suggested Mill
ism to Tourganief, who found him to be
the type of class. Andreteff is now
dead.

The Austin (Nev.) Reveizle gives an
incident of the recent cloud burst at that
place. A man was carried down by the
food, but managed to get up a swiftly
dissolving bank of earth. He called to
his son, who was on high ground above,
to bring a rope, and the boy hurriedly
obeyed the request, and, when he arrived
at the edge of the bank and threw the
rope over to his father, the old man took
it in his hand, and, in as cool tone as if
ne were ordering cocktail, said to the
boy: Nov, listen to me, and do as
tell you, If you find you can't hold on
when | commence to climb, let 60.
There's no use in us both being drowned;
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1878-09-12

I'm here in the water and you are safe
up there on the bank, so don't let me
pull you down. If you frd you can't
hold the rope, drop it, and run down in
the fiat and grab for me as I float by. !"
The boy braced up firmly on the ground
and told his father to come on, and the
old fellow went up the rope like cat
going up backyard fence with boot
jack in pursuit.

A YOUNG man. a candidate for a licens

A YOUNG man, candidate for license
as local preacher, recently preached a
specimen sermon before the quarterly
conference, in which he said that, while
the body was material and would perish,
the soul was immaterial. One of the
official brethren objected peremptorily
to his license, for the reason that he had
uttered the " strangest doctrine he ever
heard from the pulpit ;" for he had de-
clared that +" the soul was immaterial-a
thing of no value-when the Bible saws
it is worth more than the whole world /"

DANGERS FROM THE SOLID SOUTH

Speech of Hon. James F. Wilson, at Bloom
field, Iowa.
No thoughtful man can study the
present condition of affairs in some of the
Southern States, without detecting dan
ger lurking in the political activities of
these communities. In Mississippi and
South Carolina is this especially true.
1t is no credit to any man to profess not
to discern this. Whatever has once hap
pened may recur. That which produced
one war may produce another. States
have attempted to secede; they may at
tempt it again. It does not matter in
what garb this political force may be
clothed, it is the same dangerous ele-
ment. Call it secession, State rights,
home rule, it is all the same. It's exist
ence is inimical to the Union. It can t
be realized fact without a division of
the republic. Those who believe in it,
proclaim it, support it, do so with an in
telligent motive. They hold to it as a
remedy for some possible grievance. Of
the grievance they claim the right to
judge. What the grievance may be that
will justify them in resorting to this
remedy they have already given us an
example. To be out-voted and be re-
quired to submit to the voice of the ma
jority, as was the case in 1860, is so
great wrong, in their estimation, as to
justify an application of this extreme
remedy in it's worst form. The rule of
the majority is the sheet-anchor of our
system of government. They consent
to this if the majority is with them.
In case it is not, then they hold to the
right of State to break up the
Government, as refuge and defense.
They did not surrender this doctrine
when they gave up their arms. None
OF their conventions, none of their pa
pers, none of their speakers, have ever
minated purpose to surrender this
pest OF our politics. They fought to
make it supreme. Their failure to make
it sois their lost cause ** Nc
well-informed person doubts that with
free elections and honest counting, and
effective enforcement Of results, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and
South Carolina would be in Republican
control to-day That they are not is the
result OF great crime, crime akin to
that committed by the men who resorted
to force Of arms to destroy the Union
because the people gave Judgment
against them at the Presidential election
OF 1860. Largely the same men have
perpetrated the present crime. Then it
was to maintain active secession, now to
assure the same principle presented in a
new dress and called "home rule. y

Or an average of over BIO, 900, GOO year.
As we have already seen, the balance of
trade in the last three years IN fuUor of the
United States is $488, $50 $50, or an average of
more than $160,000,000 year. The balance
of trade the last year, if compared with that of
the two years next before the panic, shows q
gain in favor of the United States in one year,
of over $4,000 000 .:..
It is not necessary that should dwell upon
the Importance of this favorable state Of the
balance of trade. Balances must be settled in
cash-in the money of the world. The enter
prises of our business men reach out to all
parts of the world Our agricultural and
manufactured products more and more seek
and find their market in foreign countries.
The commerce of all parts of the world, bound
together more than ever before by steamships,
railroads and telegraph, is so connected that it
must be conducted on the same principles and
by the same instrumentalities by all who take
part in it. aasas.
We cannot if we would we should not if we
could, isolate ourselves from the rest of the
commercial world. in all our measures for
the improvement of our financial condition we
should remember that our increasing trade
with South America and with the Old World
requires that our financial system shall
be based on principles whose soundness
and wisdom are sanctioned by the uni
versal experience and the general judg-
and still diminishing public burdens of debt
expenditures and interest. with an improved
condition of currency and foreign trade, we
may we'll hope that we are on the threshold of
better times. But we must not forget that the

Inc exports from the United States during
the year ending June 80, 1873, were larger than
curing any previous year in the history of the
country. From the year 1868 to the year 1878
the net imports into the United States largely
exceeded the exports from the United States
the excess OF imports ranging from $39, 000,0 900
to 1882, 100000.
During the years 1874 and 1875 the exports
and imports were about equal. During the
years ending June 80, 1876 TT, rs, however,
the domestic exports from the United States
greatly exceeded the net imports the excess of
exports increasing rapidly from year to year.

This organized raid has already pre-
sented over $3.50, 100000 of Southern
claims against your national treasury.
Against their payment the Republican
party stands with a solid front. The
Southern Democracy is pushing them
with an unbroken line. The Democratic
party as national organization has no
hope of success except through the
maintenance of a solid Democratic
South. The South is in majority in
that party. Itdominates in it's counsels.
It determines it's policies. It knows it's
power and does not hesitate to use it.
The Northern Democrats dare not re-
sist. The South disposed of the party
in its recent ascertainment of the result
of the Presidential election of 1876. The
Northern Democrats declared that Til
den had been fairly elected. All of us
Republicans denied this, and affirmed
the belief, which is yet held, that we had
elected our candidate. The Southern
Democrats wanted two more States to
make their section solid. To this end
they surrendered the Democratic posi-
ton. They compelled the Northern
Democrats to yield. They did yield,
and now content themselves with making
faces at the Republicans, because Of
what the South made them do. It has
always been so in disputes between
the Northern and Southern Democracy,
and it always will be so.
After the 4th of March there will be a
Democratic majority in the Senate of
the United States, and the Southern
Democrats will dominate that majority.
If the elections of this year shall result
in the return of a majority of Democrats
