A Short Road.

There Is, however, a short and expedi-
tlous route to financial reform offered to
the independent voter if he will accept it.
1t is through the success of the democratic
party. He can make that success certain
and overwhelming if he wills It. It is true
the democratic party offers him no fiat
money. no unlimited Intuition. no demon
etization of the precious metals, but it
promises every measure of relief eompati.
BILE with reason, common sense and good
government. In theend the policy of that
party must control the administration OF
the government, because it presents the
only feasible plan for financial reform, as
the nations themselves will in time come
to admit.

The greenbaek movement in this county
means neither more nor less than To give
aid and comfort to the hard money radical
party. The scheme is to get as many dem
0crats as possible to vote the greenback
ticket, while the republican greenbackers
will at the last minute vote the straight
republican ticket with the head cut of, as
John Prickett did two years ago. That's
all there is 10 the movement,

The cOlOred Southern brethren seem to think
that among the rights given to them by the
constitutional amendments was that to have
church SchismS as Well as the whites Recent
iy new denomination of the cOlored MethO-
dlSts, styled the Southern Methodist church,
has been started at Atlanta, Georgia by mem
bers OF the regular cOlOred Methodist church
which extends all over the country. They al
lege as cause for separation that the burdens
inflicted upon them by the national church
were unequal and unjust, and they complain
that they do not get fair share of the hOnors
and privileges. There are, they say, six col
ored bishops in the church, every one of whom
lives in The North, and they require each of the
two cOlored Methodist Conferences in Georgia
to pay l,50O year, or 5000 between them
The bishops seldom come South and the re-
formers say, they do no good when they
come, but only ask for money" 1t is declared
that they get nearly $4,000 year from all the
cOlored Methodists in the South, though it Is
not asserted that they use all this fund for
themselves. The Atlanta refOrmers announce
purpose to labor earnestly to support and
extend the new church organization The
membership is not large as yet, but the leaders
are described as active and Jealous and, in
worldly phrase, as meaning business.

Reports come from various quarters of the
virtual resumption of specie payments by the
banks. In Albany, New York, small payments
are made from certain of the banks, and at
Cincinnati three banks are said to offer their
customers a choice between gold and green
backs. From the south the movement is more
general. AT New Orleans, Savannah, Viii
mington and Atlanta no charge is made for
gold If parties presenting drafts prefer the pre-
ciOus metal, and at Charleston they are ready
to adopt the same course. In the large cities,
especially on the seabOard, where the bulk of
the duties are paid, the banks seem disposed
TO wait until even the present nominal pre-
MUM on gold has disappeared.

Should Mr.. Hendee be allowed permission
to bring up the amended District government
bill at the meeting of the House tonight it is
to be hoped that body will put it promptly on
its passage. The situation of this impOver-
ished people is desperate, with all the frightful
burdens of COngressiOnally- created debt and
taxation hanging over them, and unless some
relief is afforded they must abandon their
property to the tax collector and go into viz
tual bankruptcy. If Congress will pass the
measure with the fifty per cent feature, the
citizens of the District can be depended upon
to faithfully carry out what is required of
them by the provisions of the bill Should
an elective council be one of these features,
they will seek to elect the best men for the
place; and in short, it will be their disposition
to maintain their part of the partnership with
Congress i'm entire good faith.

The Russian Nfhilists.

Doubtless some of our readers were mySti
fed yesterday by the vague account in the
telegrams of NihiIistic riots i'm Moscow, on the
occasion of sending fifteen students of the
University of Kieff into exile. The Nihilists

liberal rule of the Emperor Alexander. 1t con-
siStS of the progressive elements of the cOun
try, and is composed largely of Itterdteurs
and students. At first its doctrines were mod
crate, demanding nothing more than reason
able amount of freedom of the press and pub
lie life, but it has gone on through the different
stages of modern materialistic philosophy,
and under such social teachers as Fourier,
st. Simon. Robert Owen and ProudhOn
and progressing beyond all the leaders
of advanced thought, has set up
school known as NihiliStS, or believers
in nothing. 1t speedily gained large acceSsOns
from the universities and public schools, and
the medical students are said to have Joined it
in body. The extent of the movement fright
ened the government, which prosecuted every
body who showed the slightest sympathy with
it. All the cOnSpiracieS and political prOsecu-
lions which have taken place i'm Russia since
1852 have been connected with Nihilism. The
numbers and influence of the organization
nave been thus somewhat diminished, but it
is still very powerful and widespread affili-
alton. The movement includes many women,
and it is stated in the kilograms that woman
named Vera SaSSultich was concerned in the
recent disturbances.

The Eastern states do not feel material
improvement yet in business, but out West
there are numerous signs of a return of pros
perity. Good crops and good prices have put
the farmers in condition to pay off debts and
leave something over for the purchase of lux
urieS, such as they have denied themselves
during the hard times. The price of western
lands are advancing under the new impulse
and the more hOpeful prospects, and at the
same time decided increase in the emigra-
ton west Is noticed. This is partly made of
foreign arrivals and of emigrauts from the
Eastern states. The activity i'm Western rail-
road mining and other stocks is indicative of
the turn of the tide from the low water depres-
sion. The East must ultimately feel the ben
eft of the Western buOyancy and find a sale
for its goods and manufactures.

Our LITTLE GIRis.-It is really be-

high pressure system of education forces
them into young ladies while they ought
to be in the sheltered privacy of the nur-
sery and the shOol-rOom.

declare that little girl, simple, sweet,
innocent, unconscious of herself and will

now very lovable, but, alas very rare

xled BY the probleL>. "How am to

A Chicago lady, who deserves thanks,
says that If piece of oleomargarine-no
matter how closely 1t may resemble but
ter-is placed on an open plate and set
in the full light of . north window, say
on the window-sill, the side next the
sash will in day or two become crusted
over with = white substance, 'clarified
tallow," which thickens the longer it
stands, until the whole mass is bleached
through to the bottom. The flavor also
changes from that of butter to that of
''rancid tallow," and the odor becomes
like that o. a tallow candle. Such re-
suits cannot be obtained from real but
ter, NO matter how rancid it may become.
The LADY declares her conviction that
Chicago is given over to this fraudulent
compound to an extent that few people
are willing to believe. The samples she
tested were from both roll and jar, ap-
parently of very fair quality, golden, and
with the tsste Of butter, SO far as it went,
yet lacking the peculiar richness of but
ter made at this season of the year.
