FIRE AT JUNCTION CITY.

The heaviest blow ever dealt at the bust
ness interests of Lane county, and one
from which the citizen of that county will
not soon recover, was the fire which laid in
ashes a whole block, excepting Gilmore's
Hotel, in Junction City on the 7th inst.
The fire, supposed to be the work of an in
cendiary, was first noticed about / o'clock
by parties who were in Craig's saloon, and
originated in the back part of B. Cohen's
store, about seventy feet back from Front
street. Before the alarm could be given the
fire had passed beyond control, and the
flames were shooting up the side of the
building and through the roof as if the walls
had been saturated with coal oil. The city
was without fire engines, and every man,
woman and child fought brave!y to subdue
the flames. The total loss is estimated at
$55,3 1875, against which there is not to ex-
cede $4,000 insurance. Several persons
were arrested for setting fire to B. Cohen's
building, but the evidence seemed to be in
sufficient to fasten the guilt upon any one.

Wanted-A Policy.

Never before in the history of the
government did a national admins
tration occupy the precarious position
in which we find President Hayes
Other Presidents have been weak,
some have been apostates, and I'M
popular governments have not been
uncommon daring the last half centu-
ry; but Hayes is the first Executive
who has ever presented the singular
spectacle Of an utterly friendless and
apparently hopeless administration
Tyler had party, Fillmore had a
party and johnson had a party, but
Hayes has none. And he had made
himself powerless by his own imbecil-
lily or faithlessness. He had taught
the nation to trust him. His honest
deliverances made in the campaign
were received with the usual latitude
that's accorded to candidates for pop
ular favor, but when he had reached
the prize of the Presidency, and then
made himself instant in and out of
season to affirm his campaign pledges
by the most unequivocal utterances,
the nation closed its eyes to his blot
ted title and accepted him as the
apostle of civil regeneration and last
ing peace. His Cabinet was convinc-
ing proof to the world that he had
taken a bold patriotic departure in ia
vor of the right, and that the ornament
al pledges of his party in conventions
and on the stump, we're to be jealous
ly fulfilled, 1t cost him much of the
favor of those who had, by arrogant
and corrupt leadership, brought Re
publicanism to actual defeat, but he
appeared to have counted the loss and
rested his faith in the integrity and
considerable judgment of the American
people. 1t was step that, when once
taken, could not be retraced save in
hopeless dishonor, and the country
was inspired with renewed hopes of
honest government.-Ttmes.

THE PEACE TREATY.

1t is now certain that treaty of
peace has been signed between Russia
and Turkey, and that thus practical
ly this long and disastrous war is at
an end. We are uncertain as to the
precise terms of this treaty, but it is
likely to occupy no mean place in the
history of Europe. 1t is stated among
other things, that there is to be no
cession to Russia of the the Turkish
fleet; and the indemnity has been re-
duced to E12,000,000 sterling; and
the Egyptian tribute is not to be af-
fected. These are important conces-
sions, and evince a more reasonable
disposition on the part Of Russia.
But it is impossible to say what is
left behind 1t is not unlikly that
there are secret articles which will not
be made known until it is too late to
alter them, and that thus though the
form of the treaty may be such as to
satisfy for the time both Britain and
Austria, yet that the concessions de-
manded after all leave Russia not on
" an undisputed conqueror but
very formidable and dangerous neigh
bour.
AS affecting the Christian subjccc.,, y
of Turkey the results OF the treaty
may not Immediately appear to be so
favourable and decisive, whilst in
point of loss and suffering the war
must forever form black page in the
history of Europe. The war was os-
tensibly undertaken for the liberation
and protection of the Christians.
There have been just grounds for
doubling the sincerity of Russia. It
was little better than a pretext. But
she is committed to measures ofamel-
ieration; and the fulflmcnt of her
promise On the Russian side alone,
including the losses of her allies, there
has been bloody sacrifice of nearly
100000 lives. The loss cannot have
been much less on the part of the
Turks. 1t is frightful price for so
small a gain to human liberty and
progress. But greater issues may yet
evolve; and the Christian, at least,
should never lose faith in Him whose
kingdom ruleth over all.

The Wheeling Standard last week
gave lengthy editorial on the schools
of Monongalia. The article through
out commends the system that has
been adopted here. The following is
its closing paragraph.
We cannot commend Mr.. Wade's
"plan" too highly. 1t is just the thing
to bring our public schools up to the
standard of usefulness and respectable
ity which they were intended by the
authors of the law to be. 1t is a com
mon sense plan, and wherever it has
been introduced it has worked like a
charm. The very fact that it has
awakened an interest on the part of the
people of Monongalia county is, of it
self, sufficient to commend it to the Su-
perintendent Of Public Instruction, if
it possessed no other advantages
But it does possess other advantages !;
First, it Classics the studies laid
down in the law to be taught in our
public schools. Second, it induces
pupils to go through the entire course
Of study, which a great many Gu ct.ner-
wise do not 90. Third, it arouses the
ambition of the student to excel. 1t
is really surprising to see how deter
mined each boy and girl is to be the
flower of the class, or "the cream of
the class" as Mr.. Wade terms it.
Fourth, it has tendency to increase
the attendance at school; for it is on
~ reasonable to conclude that the
more people who are interested in ed
ucation, the more they will be stimu-
lated to send their children to school.
After having Witnessed the entire
workings of the system inagurated by
Mr.. Wade, we are now more than
ever in favor of it, and sincerely hope
that our State Superintendent will
make it part of his next report to
the Legislature, asking it's adop-
ton.

Weather Predictions.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
a Mr.. Blake, of Illinois, makes the
predictions of the weather given be-
low. Mr.. Blake predicted for the sea
son of 1877 with such accuracy as to
inspire confidence in his ability in
this direction. He protested to pre-
dict on scientific principles, but does
not pretend that his prophecies will
be fulfilled to the letter, but that they
are reasonably correct. He thinks
that the weather for 1878 will be au-
spicious, but rather dry and warm.
There will be few tornadoes. There
will be seasonable number of heavy
showers, but they will be local and
will be accompanied by heavy thun-
der and lightning. The fall months
will be quite cool, though there will
be no considerable frost until Octo-
Der LIST. And the winter will set in
early and be long and cold. For the
year 1878 there will be q general
drought, but in most places it will be
relieved by frequent showers.
March, 1878-Will "come in like a
sheep, and go out like a lamb"
The first of March will be moderate.
and gradually grow warmer until the
end of the month, though there will
doubtless be two or three moderately
cool spells during the month, but
none that might be deemed cold. The
equinoctial storm will be rather a
warm one. The precipitation for the
month will be a full average, and in
the form Of rain except in high lat
itudes.
April, 1873 Rather dry and warm,
though in places a fall average of
local storms.
May, 1S78-Warm; heavy showers
IN places; on the general average not
wet month.
June, 187S-Hot and dry, except as
relieved by a moderate number Of

Satisfactory progress is being made
by the United States Government in
thepayment Of legal-tenders. During
the last month not less than $774.7I7
were cleared away, although the cash
balance Of the Treasury has decreas-
ed by $2,766,75S. Since the acces-
sion ofthe present Administration the
direct progress towards resumption
has been the retirement of $22, S6S, LAT
of legal-tenders and fractional notes,
and the increase Of $48,312,976 in each
balance. During the same period the
silver outstanding has increased
about $40, OOo, 900, SO that the actual

How the Ladies Defeated License
in ParkerSburg.

A correspondent of the Wheeling
Standard, writing from Parkersburg,
says;
We owe our grand success to the
ladies who have fought nobly with
us through thick and thin. The sa-
loon keepers threw out every induce
ment TO gain votes, giving free drinks
and free lunch, but thank God, the
ladies outgenerallcd them. When the
ladies heard what the whisky men
were doing, they went to work in
earnest, with great enthusiasm, and
gave free lunches, too, at the churches
and had everything in the line of edi-
bles that any one could wish, served
in first-class style. On election day
they had rhree lunch rooms right OPP
posite the Court House, which they
kept open all day, giving free lunch
to all that would join them. During
the day, the enemy was routed, and
the ladies were victorious.

Senator Wallace's long-bond bill,
without making any violent innvea-
ton upon existing laws, provides what
recent experience has shown to be
very much needed-a safe and con
venient from of security for popular
investments. The bonds are to be
issued in denominations as low as
twenty five dollars, where also the cou
pons are to be payable, and the pro-
ceeds of their sale are to be used for
the redemption of such redeemable
outstanding bonds as bear the high
est rate of interest. In brief, this is
plan for funding one hundred mil
lions of the national debt in a pop
ular loan at four per cent, thus effect
ing a great saving in interest to the
people collectively, and affording to
individuals an investment for their
earnings as convenient and profitable
as a savings bank, and far more safe.

local storms; cooler about the 10TH
July, 1S7S=-Hot and dry; local
storms will give relief only in places
August, 1878-Hot and dry, but
some severe local storms.
September, 1878-Hot and dry part
of the month several local storms and
variable weather in places; rainfall
for the month rather less than the
average, except in Southern States, al
80 in Indian Ocean.
October, 1878-Cool; rainfall less
than average; heavy frost the last
of September or first of October.
November, 1878-Quite cold and
dry; probably more snow than rain.
December, 1873 Cold and dry;
moderate amount of snow; little, if
any, rain north of Galesburg III.
January, 1879-First part of the
month rather mild; last part moder-
atcly cold precipitation for the month,
in rain and snow, about an average
for January.
February, 1S79-Moderately cold
and dry.
March. 1879-Full average of
storms and precipitation, though not
q severe month; the equinoctial about
the 22d of March, 1879, will be quite
severe, though rather warm.
1t might be interesting to observe
with what accuracy these predictions
are verified.

The Wheeling Imtelligencer speaks

The Wheeling Intelligencer speaks
of the late B. +. Wade as follows:
At the time when the fate of the
new State of West Virginia hung
trembling in the balance in the Sen
ate of the United States, Ben. Wade,
the heroic Senator from Ohio, came
boldly to the front as our champion,
and by his force of character check
ed the Generalization in that body
caused by the sudden and most I'M
expected detection of Mr.. Garlic.
Then it was that he buckled on his
armor and struck telling blows right
and left on our behalf West Virgin
ia owes him debt of everlasting
gratitude. Ben. Wade saved the fort
unes Of the day at the very crisis Of
the contest. Had he been against us
it is more than probable that the new
State project would have failed in
the Senate AS a statesman he com
pretended the situation, and with the
will and power of Hercules he put his
shoulder to the wheel and pushed the
movement through the Senate. All
honor to his memory!
