THE RIGHT WAY,

The Chicago Eueaing Journal, which has
been very much opposed to silver from the
beginning OF the contest, says:
An old member of Congress, who is a men,
Der of the financial committee, is represented
as having said recently that If he were busi.
ness man he should act upon the belief that
the tariff bill would not become a law this
session that the specie resumption act would
not be repealed, and that no silver bullion
certificate bill would pass. We hope his pre-
diction will be verified ty the results.
Copying the above, the St. Louis Journal
remarks as follows:
We are inclined to the opinion that the
Congress now in session is not so radically in
favor of more money as will be the body 10
be elected this fall. II the faction that OPP
poses the will of the people in financial mat
ters would consent TO a fair adjustment of all
differences of opinion by the body now in
Washington, there would be less excitement
over the election this fall and more certainty
about values in the near future.
There is good sense as well as much truth
in the position taken by our St. Louis con-
temporary. If the discussion of this issue
is kept up till after the fall elections, the
next Congress will be decidedly more radi-
cal on the question than the present one is,
and may possibly go too far in the way Of
expansion. The people are terribly in ear
nest in their determination TO put an
end forever to the policy that has so
well nigh ruined the country, and if
those who want to see money dear and labor
cheap, are wise, they will take the best
compromise they can get with the Congress
now in session, and close the discussion be-
fore the next election; for if the people are
obliged to take the knife into their own
hands, they will make thorough work Of it.

MORE TROUBLE.

The bullionist journals of the east are in
trouble again, because they think the bill
providing for the issue of silver bullion Ger
tifcates is likely.to become law. The bill
ought to pass. The principle it contains
SHOULD have been embraced in the bill al
ready passed. 1t is demanded by the pee
pie and by the interests of the country. The
gold papers, will fight it, of course, as they
did the other bill, but their opposition now
will not amount to much, because the effect
OF the Bland bill has been so directly the re-
verse, in every particular, of what they pre-.
dicted, that the country will hereafter give
very little heed to their vagaries on any
financial question. The New York Times
(gold organ says in its issue of the sd:
Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, as Chairman of
the Committee on Coinage, yesterday re-
ported bill for the issue of certificates for
silver bullion. 1t does not differ materially
from the one already commented on by us,
being identical in principle, and probably
capable of producing similar general effects.
1t has an advantage over the other in point of
precedence, from being the work of stand

bill will be vigorously pressed. 1t is sustain

BETTER TIMES COMING.

The Inter Ocean regards the excess OF our
exports over our imports as sure indica-
ton of the coming Of better times, and
trusts all that is necessary now to insure the
return of season OF prosperity is for every
body to go to work and quit grumblins. The
later Ocean says:
The immense excess of our exports over our
imports is one OF the indications Of the COM
ing prosperity. American products shipped
from our leading ports last week amounted
to nearly twenty millions of dollars. Our
granaries are yet full, and our packing houses
prepared to furnish food for the millions.
Beside all this, a grand prospect for the COM
ing crop is everywhere noted. The bright
silver dollar has made It's appearance, and
none OF the mIseries of the croakers and false
prophets have attended it. Let US stop growl
ing and complaining, shove the plane, drive
the plowshare in the furrow, light the fires
in the forges, place honest men in public
places, stand by and defend those who have
proved worthy, and all will be well.

WESTERS CATTLE,

Our Western cattle are now conceded 10

WHY NOT ?

The Kansas Central folks want room on
the levee to build freight house, and We
don't know Of any good reason why they
shouldn't have it. They undertook to
move down their old building yesterday,
and the city authorities stopped them, be-
cause the location was within the fire limits.
This action, was probably in strict accor-
dance with Law, but the necessity for it is to
be regretted. The building was already
within the fire limits, and would be no
more dangerous in the new location than
in the old. The council should give the
road permission to move its building
and it should give not only this road, but the
Rock Island, and all the other roads COM
ing here, permission to occupy just as much
of the levee as they can put to profitable
use. A Missouri river town, in this age OF
the world, has no more need OF big levee
than toad has of tail. A space not ex'
eeeding fifty feet, where the solitary strag'
Cling steamboat, that comes along now and
then, can discharge little freight, is all
the levee that any town in this vicinity ha'
any use for, and if Leavenworth can induce
her railroads, or anybody else to put NJ
freight houses, machine shops, OF manufac
turing establishments upon the land nov
reserved for a levee, the sooner she does
the better. Let the levee be utilized. Al
the blocks south of Deleware and east
Second street to the bluff, should be bough
and given TO railroads for their use.

MILLIONS OF HOGS.

Chicago has packed hogs enough during
the past season to make a line of live pork
reaching clear across the continent. The
Journal of the 2Sd says:
Within the markets fiscal year just closed
Chicago pork-packers killed, cut up and stow.
ed away over 4,Ooo, 900 of hogs. Think of it
OVER four millions of hogs! Counting one a
second, It would take q man seven weeks to
enumerate them, and one days feeding OF
that drove Of porkers would exhaust the re-
sources Of q millionaire.

Just how much pork 1900, COO hogs make We

sections of land would give these porcine my

GEN. GRANT.

The Washington Union says very justly
that if there is any truth in the saying that
foreign nation is a contemporaneous
posterity," General Grants position as one
of the great heroes in the worlds history
may be considered as well established by
the enthusiastic and hearty reception &C
corded to him by the people and rulers OF
every country in Europe. The honors be-
slowed upon him have been almost unpre-
cedented, and clearly show that he has
abroad an extraordinary reputation as a
statesman and a soldier. The rulers ad-
mire him on account of his brilliant
achievements as general; the people love
him as an illustrious defender of popular
government Having: been thus honored
in Europe as one of the greatest men Of the
age, We may safely conclude that posterity
will in his own country award him the
same exalted position.

Postal Savings Banks


Three Postal Savings Bank bills have
been agreed upon and reported to the House
by three different committees-the first by
the Committee on Banking aud Currency
which is substantially the bill introduced
by Representative Phillips, of this State
the second by the Ways and Means Com
mittee, whsch is the Burchard bill; and the
third by the Post-Office Committee, which
is known as tbs Waddell bill Some sort
of a Postal Savings Bank bill is, therefore,
likely to pass, il the nearly unanimous re-
commentator of three of the most impor-
tant committees of the House is any indi-
cation Of the sentiment of Congress. The
provisions of the bill introduced by Col.
Phillips strike US as better adapted to
meet the wants of the people than those
of either OF the other measures introduced.

RECONCILIATION.

The following paragraph from the Au-
gusta Chronicle shows. that loyalty to 'the
South" is held paramount to loyalty to the
country:
During the war between the North and
South he did his devoir as brave soldier and
q faithful, IL not a brilliant commander.
But his fidelity then made his subsequent
perfidy the more odious. The gaIlantry dis
played by Benedict Arnold on the Plains of
Abraham and under the walls of Quebec did
not excuse but intensified the treason which
attempted to surrender West point and deso-
lated the Valley of the Connecticut. The
only mercy that General Longstreet can ex-
pect at the hands of the Southern people is
that they will allow him TO remain in obscu-
rity. They may forget, but it is not likely
they will forgive"
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1878-03-28
CLEAN UP.

Measures tending to improve the sani-
tary conditions of the country should re-
ceive prompt aud careful attention by leg
islatiye bodies. The bill, now before the
Senate, regulating the conduct OF American
consuls, in ports where contagious diseases
prevail, is timely one. The bill requires
consuls to notify the Surgeon General OF the
Marine Hospital Service, by telegraph, ol
the sailing of vessels for United States
ports, and keep a regular correspondence
With the department relative to the health
condition Of the county in which they are
respectively located. The existence OF yel
low fever and cholera in South America
and Cuba, and constant intercourse between
this country and those, make the bill ap
pear more necessary. The past winter wa
one of usual mildness, and this season il
correspondingly likely to be fruitful pc
riod of disease.
