THE TWO WARS,

We have been asked, several times,
to publish more news OF the Russo
Turkish war. If the Sun were twice
as large as it is, we should have room
to publish a good many things, every
week. which we can not at present
furnish to the public without en-
croaching upon the space allotted to
the great cause for which the people
are lust now more deeply interested
than in any other. But with our
present limited space, we cannot con-
sistently publish any elaborate report
from the European war. BESIDES, 1t
is not the European war that the
people of Michigan and her sister
States are particularly interested IN.
What matters it to them whether
Russia swallows Turkey, or whether
Turkey shall eventually do the swal-
lowing In neither event would the
power of the Shylocks in this country
be overthrow, nor the dropping
industries of the people revived.
Just now our people are specially
interested in war nearer home than
Europe-the war between the honest
masses and the thieving, robblng,
between starving Labor and tull-fed
Aristocracy. The war between the
Oppressed and their Oppressors. The
war between people who do something
useful for a living. when they can get
it to do, and the lazy. selfish drones,
who will never benefit the world. to
any appreciable extent, till they die
and leave it. The war that IS to de-
termine whether the honest. strug-
Cling people have any rights which Il
bond holding, collaborating arlStOcrd-
cy is bound to respect. The war that
is to decide whether an honest man
shall once more have a chance to earn
an honest living. The war that shall
settle the question whether equal
rights. under Il Republican form OF
government, are to be maintained, or
forever crushed out by an infamous
ring OF plundering Shylocks. \ war
that must determine whether the
laboring classes shall be employed and
paid, or forced to become "tramps.
and hunted down like wolves. This is
the war in which the people are
interested-th war in which they are
engaged.
The Sun willkeep its readers posted
in all the more important news of our
home war. and it promises to give the
enemy no qcarter. Let us push on
the fight. with all the strength and
boldness of men determined to win or
die. We must win, or there will ere
long be nothing left of popular rights
worth living for.-Mtchigan Sun

HIM to. The habit had become so
strong with him that he could not re-
sist the temptation, and it was not
long before he was sent back to his
old quarters for two years more, for
committing a robbery at Elmwood.
Shortly after being placed in the pen
itentiary he killed a fellow-convict.
and was given two years and half
more.
The man is a marble-cutter by
trade. and his skill in that line is rec
ognized by all who know him. While
in the penitentiary he got up model
piece of workmanship, which was for
warded to Philadelphia and took the
premium at the Centennial. For this
he had six months Of his time COM

ing the long, weary years Grleved
as she was, and justly incensed, as
she might have been, she remained
constant and true. and was awaiting
| the time when her husband might re-
turn to her and reform and spend the
remainder Of his days in sobriety and
happiness. This she continued to be
until hearing of his last crime. I'm
der the mistaken apprehension that
he was to be imprisoned for life sht

Last year the husband, for the frs
time in four years, placed his foot up

TIE CRY OF REPUTATION.

From the beginning of June. 1854,
until the end OF February, 1860, gold
was very rarely below 900, and in July
of that wear reached 2S5, the average
rate of that period of time being more
than 900. Hence, the man who bor-
rowed $l0,0 900 in greenbacks in 1864 is
pretty sure to have got no more than
the value Of $4,000 in gold, the
chances being that he did not get even
that much. Yet if that man gave his
note promising to pay $lO,OOO IN law
full money fifteen years from date, IS
very plain, if he pays in greenbacks at
par with gold in 1879, he will return
to his creditor the value OF $lO,OOo--
that is. twice as much as he borrowed.
That is bad enough. but if gold is con-
tinued as the single money standard
the prospect is that $4,000 in gold
will 90 more than twice as Tar as 1t
would in 1864. 1t can be proved that
a dollar in gold will on the average
buy ten per cent more OF the staple
commodities of the world to-day than
it would have bought in 1864, SO that
if the situation grew no worse tins
debtor would in reality return III 1917
$1,000 for the $4,000 which he Dor
rowed. Is that honesty Is it right
to denounce payment in the silver
dollar as reputation, when it is only
claimed to be ten per cent. less valua
bic than the gold dollar! Is it repu
diation for the man who borrowed the
value of $4,000 in gold to pay to-day
ten per cent. less than the value Of
$11 900 in gold Is it reputation t(
pay that debt in 10000 silver dollars
which will go Jas far now lie the marx

owing to his intense pro-slavery feelings and

county, Tenn, was educated at TRANSATLANTIC
University, Lexington, KY, studied medicine,
and went to Vicksburg, Miss, to practice. He
soon drifted into politics. for which he OBJ
viously had vocation, especially In the
South, where egotism, self-assertion, domi-

more weight than talent or. knowledge

and held the office for seven years. He after
wards went to Congress, superintendent the
erection of the Custom House in New Or

fornia, whence he was twice sent to the
United States Senate. He was in that body
up to the time Of secession. acting uniformly
with the fire. eaters. He has had storm y
career, having been engaged In a number Of
duels and rencounters without receiving any
serious harm. He has just passed his sew

mind and vigorous In body as ever. He has q

from an actual or imaginary title acquired in
