rONNUR AS AN INDIAN FIGHTER

The Reese River frntU., commenting upon
the Bannock war, says:
General Common, next to General Crook, is
the best Indian fighter who has ever been
engaged in that kind OF warfare III the far
West. His principle of fighting Indians is to
tight them Indian fashion that is, by ambush,
surprise and cunning, showing no quarter,
and staying men, women and children. In Ga
or % he tackelei the Bannocks and fought
with them one engagement, which Was deci-
SIye enough to make them sick Of the war.
The field of battle was on the Banks of Bear
River, III Northern Utah. The Indians were
camped on one side OF the stream and Con
nor and his men on the other. The details
Of the attack being arranged, the troops
forded the stream in the night, with Conner
at their head, and came down like thousand
of brick on the camp of the sleeping and I'M
wary BannOcks. The orders were to show
no quarter, and none was shown. The In
dams were cut down as they rushed afrighted
from their wlckups and shot while fleeing for
their lives, and III short space of time the
PLAN on which the camp was pitched was
strewn with dead and dying Indians When
the humanltarIans i'll the EaSt--wh0 fancy
that the Indian of the West ia d poor, abused
angel-on learning of this battle, raised the
cry Of barbarity, Connor's reply was that nits
will grow to be lice, and if you want to keep
down the lice you must kill the nits. Those
very nts that Common and his men slew on
Bear River, had they not been killed, would
now be lice, and be numbering white men
and tnrturing and outraging their wives and
children i'll this present Bannock war.
This is the manner of man whose name
the MoRNtSG APPEAL has suggested to the
Republicans OF Nevada as their nominee for
Governor

SCARED BY THE WISr-JANMERs.- Says the
Aurora Heruid of Saturday:
When the members of the Carson band got
off the stage last Wednesday morning the
Piutes i'll the town became alarmed at the
sight of their uniforms, and immediately
made inquiries "why sojer man Gomez"
Upon being told that they were musicians
they were incredulous, and in a short time
they all left town and were not seen again
anti last evening. At Bodie the committee
of arrangements had sent invitations to tho
Indians to Join in the procession and give a
war dance. But some one informed them
that it was the intention of the whites, when
they got them all in line, to shoot them down

medical society: "Apply to the burned sur
face bicarboRate of soda, if it is wet burn,

paste of bicarbonate and water, or strong
solution of bicarbonate of soda i'll water, and
apply to the burned surface. This relieves

Has the Currency been Contracted!

Gen. Garfield in one Of his speeches
in Ohio thus answers the above ques-
ton:
l ask every man who believes in this
allegation to wrestle with the following
facts: In 1860, year of peace and at
least fair prosperity, year of Demo-
cratic rule, this country had 1907 ,000,-
600 of paper currency. Up to that time
$215, 100000, was the largest amount of
paper currency ever in circulation at any
one time in this country. Banking was
free in most of the States and bankers
were issuing all the currency they could
keep in circulation. No one then claim
ed that there was an insufficient volume
of currency, and 1 doubt whether any
reasonable man will now claim that the
currency of 1860 was insufficient in
amount. Now in the month of June,
1873, just before the great panic struck
us, our outstanding paper currency was
$72O,000,0O0, or more than three times
the amount in 1860. In the face of this
fact will any man of intelligence say
that the panic of 1873 was caused by an
insufficient volume of paper currency?
The volume in 1873 was greater than it
had been in the six previous years 1t
was $5O,OOO,OO0 greater than in 1870.
In fact the panic of 1873, like all its
predecessors, occurred when there was
an inflated and increasing volume of
currency and credit and | do not hest
tate to declare that initiation was one of
the leading causes OF that panic.

work goes on.
Now this is no fancy sketch, but true
picture of one of the first schools which
we attended, and there were too many

Mr.. Foster have such a picture in his

The Independence BULLETIN is somewhat
surprised because we did not come home and

The Revie,o is mistaken. We have
long since ceased to be surprised at any
thing it may say or do, not even its dec

feet that if it were strict party organ
it would support jeff. Davis or any
other Democrat who should be able to
secure Republican nomination" We
do not believe that our friend Burdick
would do anything of the kind, but re-

the accumulated bile engendercd by the
defeat of his favorite candidate, in SUI
percharged verbal bomb-shells, we have
no disposition to deny him such ease

Mr.. HAM, after taking time to con-
slider the matter, has finally concluded
not to accept the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress in this district, and
his formal declination appeared in the
Herald last Sunday morning. The rea-
sons assigned by Mr.. Ham for his re-
fusaf to accept are, that he has never
really been an aspirant for the position,
and that he thinks that he can do the
Democracy more good as editor of the
Herald than as their candidate for Con-
gress. The real reason is, probably, that
neighbor Ham has no ambition for
the defeat that awaits the Demo-
cratic candidate, whoever he may be.
In the same issue of the Herald is
an article from Mr.. Hams pen, in which
an unmerciful snub is administered to
Mr.. Spangler. After an intimation that
if Spangler would decline, the Dem
ocratic and Greenback committees
might agree upon some candidate who
would be acceptable to all and sure of
election, the Herald says:
g 1t is plainly evident that Democrats will
not and should not support Spangler. If, there
fore, he does not wish to be mere obstruc-
Zionist, let him get out of the way, and let
man be put up who will make it certain that
the district will not be represented in the next
Congress by a man of the party which has
through vicious legislation brought SO many
of the present ills upon the people,
1t must be peculiarly grateful to Mr..
Spangler to be thus told that the De-
mocracy are not opposed to fusion per
Sc, but to fusion with him as a candi-
date 1t is a churlish return for his
late cuddling of the Bourbon party

Mr.. SPANGLER is reported as declar-
ing in his speeches around the district,
that the idea that the financial question
is difficult or abstruse one, is absurd
and ridiculous that it is only the plea
of the money power to keep the people
in slavery. 1t is undoubtedly true that
it has been held IN times past, that the
science of finance, with the multifarious
questions that depend upon and are in
separable from it, do require for their
proper solution, brains, learning, histor-
ical research and craftsmanship of a
high order, and it is also true that men
of the greatest intellect and power have
devoted great deal of time and intense
thought to the subject. But then, this
was before Spangler's advent. 1t was
reserved for the Greenback nominee
for Congress in this district to discover
that all this study and research and ap-
plication Of great minds to the subject,
was entirely thrown away; and to dem
onstrate that man who cannot write
two consecutive sentenceswithout show
ing his ignorance of the rudimentary
branches, or converse five minutes with
out developing his incapacity to think
intelligently, and to whom the whole
question is as but thing of yesterday,
is fully as able and qualified to perfect
and carry out system of national
finance as were Hamilton, Webster,
Chase, and other great men, who
brought to the task the resources Of
commanding genius and great learning
1t is Spangler's mission to substitute
his crude theories for the opinions Of
such men as those, and to demonstrate
that brains are superhuous adjunct in
the discussion Of financial questions.

them only about twelve or fifteen mil

Titian's Birthplace.

Galore Itself is most charmingly stu
ated, and it is a fine halting-place on
ones way through the Dolomite coun-
try, and more especially hat section OF
it which furnished Titan with the no
blest motives of his grand landscape
backgrounds. 1t was a fine day of sum-
mer when | pushed on up the Ampezzo
Valley from Galore, and saw the char
acteristic landscape which had often
charmed the great painter. A few
hours brought me directly before Ante
lao, an enormous pyramid of rock
wedged up against the evening sky. Its
mighty mass, and the long flow of its
grand lines, seemed to me the most re-
markable rock-form | had ever beheld
and later, when | had seen it from the
side of Cortina in the morning, when it
made a sublime silhoutte of purple-blue,
the very color which one seesin Titian's
pictures, l was Immensely gratified; the
mountain-cOlor, the strange form, the
v%astness of the beautiful lines, the sol
emn sentiment of the great masters
backgrounds had been inspired by Ma
ture. The trees Of these slopes, too,
are Titianesque, rich with "solcmn To-
liage," as Titian's foliage has been
called. OF course, | do not allude to
the vast slopes of larch and pine, but
the clumps of thick-leaved ash which
here grow very beautifully, and con-
trast admirably with the vivid green of
the clean-shOrn pastures over which
tower the bare and fantastic peaks of
this most fantastic mountain-world
Not the least part of ones pleasure
in this scenery Is the consciousness
II may have of what it was to Titan.
The that his mind was formed
his Imagination quickened, by these
great and curious shapes of naked rock
seen against the morning and evening
sky; that these slopes and trees and
brooks and torrents were familiar to
him, and became a part of the most vi
tai and impressive expression ofhis ge-
MUS, gives them a significance, charges
them with a meaning to the heart and
mind beyond any interest of merely
grand and impressive landscape. What
is mountain-scenery but so much brute
matter until it is consecrated by asso-
citation with the endurance or the glad
ness, the suffering or the sweetness of
life, to men dear to our memory? Walk
ing through "Titian's country" with
but slight knowledge of his work, one
ear see how close it was to his creating
hand, and that his genius was domina-
ted by the grand and solemn sentiment
of these fantastic and enormous pyra-
mids and pinnacles Of sky-piercing
rock, by these long, full slopes, by these
streams of foaming water. -Applceon's
