Something Cannot be Made From
Nothing.

All the processes Of the mechan-
ic should teach him that something
could not be made from nothing.
He takes pieces Of board aud
fashions from them q coffin or a
table, or whatever other article of
use he may make. He takes a bar
Of iron and makes from it a horse
shoe or a nail. or the tire of a wag-
on wheel. He takes pieces Of
leather and from them makes a
lady's slipper or farmers boot.
Even the rudest laborer cannot
make a post-hole without digging
out the dirt. The rule is not
different in respect to money and
property. Money must represent
something - either the labor
required to dig the metal
from the mines or some form OF
merchandise-to be worth any
thing. So property cannot be
created by an act of Congress or
the vote Of mass meeting. 1t
must be got together by hard work
and patient saving. 10 short, OF
all men in the country, the honest
working man ought to be the
one to see that the orator who says
that something can be made from
nothing is simply attempting &c

There is some satisfaction in
owning a house that your savings
have paid for. There is some COM
fort in adding weekly to the nest
egg in the saving bank that your
mean shall grow hig enough to lift
you and your children higher in
the social and intellectual scale,
and give you and them independ-
ence, ease and even luxury. There
is some qualification In the thought
that self sacrifice and self denial
may produce wealth which, in
your old age, will assure you means
Of comfortable subsistence and af-
ford you opportunity Of well-earn-
ed rest, while securing your child
rem immunity from the hard strug-
giles through which You had to
pass. This comfort and satisfaction,
the product Of labor, frngality.
thrift and foresight, the alleged
"labor reformers" protest against
az an invasion Of their domain.
The man who saves his earnings
and become an owner Of capital,
the man whose skill and brains
elevate him from the position OF a
seller to that OF a purchaser OF
labor, who attains TO independence
and ease by prudence and wisdom,
who salts down his dollars instead
Of spending them in self-indnlg-
eDce, Is "a bloated bond-holder'
and "a grasping gold-bug," and the
ranting labor reformer would hand
over such a man to be the prey
Of the thriftIess and the IMPROVE

The Only Bottom for Grants Can
tihacV


The only bottom that can be
found for Gen. Grants candidacy
in 1880, is that Mr. Conkliug Is in
tensely unpopular, while Mr.. Blaine
has been convicted of transactions
that pnt him out Of the question
and nobody else has sufficient
prominence in the party and ia
mi,iarity with the machine. to be
much talked about. The country
editors in default of any rising
leader to fall back upon departed
one, and, as Mr.. Foster, of Ohio,
pithily said TO an interviewer, are
trying TO make yesterday serve the
purposes of tomorrow. 1t will be
futile endeavor. If the Repub-
lican party is herest of statesmen,
that fact can be hest disclosed by
nominating Gen. Grant for third
term in the blazing light of the
desperately bad term be has fiuish-
ed.

It was on the 10Th OF January, 1877,
that the conference, at Constantine
pie, was adjourned, the Turks re-
fusing the terms proposed, and Cen
eral Ignatief, the Russian Ambas-
sador, left Constantinople a week
later. The first Turkish Parlia-
meat was opened by the Sultan, in
person, on March 18th, and Twelve
pays after the Russian procotol was
signed in London, and as soon <e-
iected by the Turks. The war be-
gan at once, for ten days later Rus
aia declared her intention OF occu-
pylng Bulgaria a. guaranty that
the Turkish reforms would be car
ried out, and on the 23d of March,
three days latter, RussiHn troops
crossed the Pruth into Roumania.
Three days after was fought the
FIRST engagement of th3 war near
Batoum, and the Russians were re-
pulsed. Thus Russia went into the
conflict, single-handed and without
hope of intervention by any of the
other powers. On May 2lst ROu
mania proclaimed for independence
and declared war against Turkey.
On June 22d, 23d and 25th the Rus
SLAMS crossed the Danube at three
places, and on July 10th were In
the Balkans, where they took com
plete possession of the Shipka Pass.
On the 3Oth aud 3lst came the
great, battle OF Plevna, which was q
disastrous defeat for the Russians,
and cost them 10000 men. In the
latter part of August they were
driven back 10 the ShipkS Pass, and
the history of the war becomes al
most blank until November 18th,
when KaFs surrendered with BOO
lgHns and 10000 prisoners. This
Twas the first great success of the
campaign, which, up to that time,
had cost 1000 lives. Meantime
Osmsn Pasha had been shut up in
Plevna since the victory of July,
and he surrendered uneonditionally
on Decemb Der 9th, his army having
suffered terribly. This was the
deathblow to Turkish hopes, and
all danger being over, Servia de-
clared her independence, and pro-
ceeded to wage war on Turkey
The peace negotiations were begun
soon after, but before they were
concluded General Gourko had
completely routed SuleiInan Pashs

souri, Pacific and the st. l.. x. Q. Sc
N. Roads have given official notice
of their withdrawal from the spool"
known as the Southwestern Rail-
road Rate Association, will be re-
ceived throughout the State with
sincere rejoicing. The 'poop in it's
practical eff cts, placed an embargo
upon the commerce of Kansas. 1t
has inflicted great damage upon the
State. The railroads of Kansas and
the people of the State were alike
interested in breaking it up. The
withdrawal of the two important
lines mentioned above, puts an end
to the spool" and the Association
named will cease to exist en- the
10th of March, prox. The roads had
bound thems elves not to withdraw
without giving forty days notice.
If the pool is not renewed before
March 10, there will be chance be-
tween that time and navigation to
ship grain out of Kansas at some
thing like reasona BILE rates.
