THE war prospects in Europe are as
Stunning a more threatening aspect than
they have at any time since the opening
of the troubles. 1t would now certainly
seem that neither England or Russia
could withdraw, without compromising
their previous stated course of action,
or violating their pledges. In England,
active war preparations are being car
ried on constantly. Over $4,000 volun-
teers have been enrolled for immediate
service, and they are being organized in
to regiments and supplied with arms.
The British subjects in India have ex-
pressed great delight at the prospect of
being allowed to go into Europe to fight
the Russians, and are pressing forward,
whole regiments at a time. 1t is report
ed in St. Petersburg that Turkey re-
fuses to fulfill the stipulations of the
San Stefano treaty, and that, as a con-
sequence, Russia will occupy CONSTANT
nople Immediately. This will add fuel
to the British fame, and serve to hasten
hostilities. Peace is by no means secur-
ed yet.

The following special dispatch to the

ing to resume with
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The debt
statement for April shows that Secre-
tary Sherman has accumulated $20,000,-
600 of gold for resumption purposes
during the last thirty days, making the
stock Of gold in the Treasury now $780,
100000. Deducting all obligations, the
entire amount of gold now represented
in the Treasury is $156,OOO,O 900. OF this,
Secretary Sherman thinks at least $780,
100000 as available for resumption pur-
poses. Of the increase of $40, 10000 900
this month, $1O,OOO,OOO came from the
sale of II per cent bonds, and $5,000,-
600 from the sale of 4 per cents, The
balance Of 100000 cam from Gus
toms and other revenues.

how good the churches and school
houses are, and they speak volumes for
Kansas. Further west and about Wa
terville, high bluffs border the streams,
which are numerous. The bluffs are
useless for farming, but afford good
pasture. They are immense quarries
OF magnetism limestone, which makes
splendid building material. The sides
OF the bluffs are covered with cedar,
elm, box-alder and cottonwood, while
their tops stretch away from the
streams; a level upland, unbroken by a
rock or slough, thousands of acres as
fair as the sun ever shone on, waiting
for the pillow. Even our Iowa prairies,
moment compare with this peerless
country. The settler has every induce
ment to settle here. Within a radius of
five miles, the Big Blue and Little Blue
rivers, Coon and Silver Creeks, with nu-
merous branches, all edged with timber,
wind through this lovely prairie. Peo-
pied with eastern men, they bring east
ern ideas with them, and these far west
settlers arc on a ] level with the east in
intelligence
Kansas has had the border troubles.
drought, and lately the grasshoppers, to
contend with, but all States have some
drawbacks. and Northern Kansas seems
to have got ahead of even the grasshop-
per. A rich soil, a healthy, bracing air,
with all the aids nature can bestow;
these, with patience, industry and per-
severance, will here give the poor man a
good home quicker than any other place.
There is a town here, Blue Rapids, with
not a saloon in it, a model town in re-
gard to enterprise and morals. The
temperance cause has earnest support
ers here.
But | must not forget to mention the
cyclone that visited us last week. There
was a fearful storm, hail stones large as
hens eggs fell; then the clouds seemed
to unite with the earth, and rising. form
ed a funnel-shaped water-spout. When
it crossed the river, we saw it take the
water up 200 feet. Fortunately, the
country was thinly settled where it
passed over, and not much damage was
done. The roar was deafening, 1t was
a sight long to be remembered. 1t
broke just before reaching Marysville.
The Herd Law is in effect here, so
there are no fences. This seems odd to
strangers, but the cattle are herded.

We notice the name of Hon. J. B.
Powers, District Attorney, in this Ju-
dicial District, quite frequently men
toned in connection with the office of
Attorney General. This mention is in
view Of the presumed withdrawal of Mr..
McJunkin, the present Attorney Gen
eral, on account of i'll health. 1t seems,
however, more recently, hat Mr.. Nc
Junkin has quite recovered his wonted
health and has signifed his desire for a
denomination, which will, no doubt, be
accorded him. Were the situation 9TH
erwise, we have no doubt that the friends
Of Mr.. Powers would insist upon his
candidacy, in which case he would be
almost morally certain of success. Mr..
Powers is not only a first-class lawyer,
but a public prosecutor of Statewide
reputation.-DuJuque Times.
We can cordially subscribe to the
above, and, while we think MI. Powers
would do our State honor in the capaci-
ty of Attorney General, we should not
be prepared to lose him from his pres
ent position, at present. We believe it
will be generally conceded, hat it
would be nearly, or quite, impossible to
find a successor who would prove as
efficient and able as has Mr.. Powers.

IT would seem from the amount and
quality of claims presented for allow
anc to Congress, that the people of
this country have an innate conviction
that any claim, for whatever service, if
presented properly, will be allowed by
the lower House. Some queer speci-
mems have been developed recently.
The House Committee on Claims has
reported favorably on a claim of J..
Fraser, of Philadelphia, of $4,000, for
the expenses of a trip from that city to
Washington, to examine the foundation
of a new Jail. A claim of $4,000 for
property destroyed during an Indian in
%surrection, sixty-five years ago, has re-
Gently been presented, and, of course,
reported favorably by the House Com
mlttee. Another is from the heirs of
one Moses Perkins, asking pay for tim
Der used in building a fort in Georgia in
1887. The fort was not built by the Or
der of the government, but all indica-
lions seem to show hat it was built and
donated to the use Of the government
by the said Moses Perkins, whose heirs
have cheek enough to present a bill for
the timber used in it.

the following words of DR.. Holland in

Speaking of a smooth-tongued fraud he
says:
Does any one suppose that the miser-
able man whose career is sketched
above, could have done the harm he has
done, if those good persons in the COM

had treated him as such =? The sculptors
who get up public monuments, FOR the

get intelligent readers only by dint Of
recommendations, after the manner OF
patent soap manufacturers, are never at
a loss for celebrated names as signatures
to their certificates. The point that
we wish to make is that frauds-fnan-
cial, social, literary, artistic-get their
opportunity to do harm by the good-na-
tured ac%quieseence of the better part Of
the community. We never knew a
dead-beat who did not have some good

the government is paying several hun

rent, and that it will be cheaper for the
government to borrow money to COM

paying the high rents. 1t is estimated
that the cost of completion will be, as
stated above, about s50,OOO,O0O. The
bill will be brought before Congress in

Let Hayes be praised for the good he has
done.-Des MOines Leader.
All right. Tell us what good he has
done.-Manchester Press.
Well, he has shown that he regards
the interests of his country higher than
those of his party, He has shown that,
however much the ~implacable press may
say to the contrary, the South has some
rights which the North is bound to re-
spect. He has placed the machine pol
i%ticians in a position where they have
not the power to interfere with the
wishes Of the rank and file Of the Re-
publican party. He will have, as time
will conclusively prove, done more to
advance the interests of the party in
his four years reign, than did the form
er administration during eight years.
Now let the Press praise him.

Will the dear brethren of the Iowa
Implacable school please note, that it is
the Chicago Inter- Ocean, which gives
editorial prominence twice in a single
column, to the fact, that in Ohio the
Republican newspapers of respectable
ty and weight are advising that the par
ty will have enough to do in fighting
the Democracy and the Nationals next
fall without raising any needless senti-
mental issues about the exact amount
of approval the Administration is en-
titled to from the party" The Des
Moines Register will be kind enough to
observe, also, that among the authori-
ties quoted on this point by the l. o.,
appears the very journal which furnish
ed a large part Of the editorial matter
of the Registe,-the Cincinnati Times.
That Ohio censor of the Administration
says of the counsel above quoted, that
it lis not only the voice of the Repub-
licans of the Western Reserve, but of
the entire State" Substitute Iowa for
Ohio and the whole applies right here

The famous temperance evangelist,
John W. Drew, has been pursuing his
plans of operations for over a week at
Waterloo, with immense success. Over
4lS names were placed on the rolls, and
the same number donned the blue rib
bon the first evening Of his work, says
the Reporter. We believe he goes to
Marshalltown from Waterloo.
"A temperance meeting at Monticel-
10 nearly broke up in a row, the other
night. The speaker of the evening arose
and read the pledge, when another man
got up and objected to it because it did
not include tobacco. Then another
arose., and said he had used tobacco for
a long time, and did not want to deny
himself the indulgence, unless others
who neither used tobacco or liquor
should make ONE sacrifice; hence he
would move that tea and coffee be in
cluded in the abstinence pledge. From
this, things got more muddled than ever,
and some strong language and personal
tiles were INDUCED in, but the b%elliger-
ants were at last quoted, and the meet
ing allowed to proceed.
The farmers of Franklin county
are holding grand gopher hunts. A
number of men are divided into two
parties, a captain chosen for each side,
and the party showing the most tails at
the close Of the hunt is declared victo-
rious. This plan is said to rid farmers

"A young man at Elkader, named
Ed. Place, while firing at a target with
Il revolver, one day last week, shot Miss
Sarah Reed, the ball entering at the in
step of her left foot and lodging some
where in the ankle. All efforts to re-
move it were unavailing, and she will
probably be a cripple for life. We CLEAN

"A tooth was recently dug up on the
farm Of James Reed, near Sands Spring,
which measured five inches in length,
n inch in breadth and three-quarters
OF an inch in thickness. 1t is bothering
the brain of all the scientists in the Vi
entity.
"A sad accident is reported near
Iowa Falls. A farmer, while clearing
some land, set fire to some rubbish scat
tered around. His little daughter, two
and a half years old, playing nearby, got
too close to the blaze, which caught her
clothes, and before any one could reach
her she was horribly burned, her breast
being literally roasted. She lived n

ED. BULLETIN:-Whilc so much is
being said in reference to Southwest
Kansas, a few words in reference to our
journey to Northern Kansas, and some
thing in regard to the country may not
come amiss. Our first stopping-place
was Council Bluffs, which is some dis
lance from the Missouri, and n%estles at
the foot of the bluffs. 1t does not COM
pare with Omaha, on the opposite side,
and built on the bluffs, a city of "a, 600
inhabitants, while Council Bluffs has
but 5000. We took a street car, which
carried us 4 miles out to the Union Pa
cifc depot, then took the transfer over
the U. p. bridge to Omaha. This bridge
was nearly swept away by a storm, and
has, just been repaired. 1t is considered
second to the bridge we the Missouri
at st. Louis. We visited the car-shops
and smelling works, also the city park,
a beautiful tract of land presented to
the city by one of the citizens. The
Omaha depot is a fine building. Here
we found an emigrant train ready to
start for the far West. All is hustle
and confusion, and this seems to be the
connecting link between the East and
West.
Returning to Council Bluffs, we find
four passenger trains only awaiting the
train from the west, to start east
to Chicago, and almost at the same
time. also returning at the same time.
Leaving Council Bluffs at Z A. M, we
follow the valley of the Missouri south
ward. On either side rise the high
bluffs, sometimes wooded, again bare,
destitute of rock, while at their base
rolls the great river, its current eyer
changing,-a long stretch of sand beach
to-day where but a month ago was the
rivers bed,-its waters the color of the
bluffs they wash away. The bottom
lands become covered with heavy timber
and yield enormous crops OF corn, but
are unhealthy. The Missouri towns APP
peared to me to have an air of shiftless-
ness and poverty, quite unlike our Iowa
towns. We crossed over into Kansas at
Atchison, and took the Central Branch
of the u. P. 100 miles west to Water
vile. Now we leave the river; the high
bluffs disappear, and in their place are
gently-rolling uplands, diversified by
streams clear as crystal, running vel
rock beds, and fringed with timber.
Homesteads and school-houses dot the
country. The stations through which
we pass are full of energy and business.
We could not help thinking that we had
found the Garden of the West" We
could not but remark how many and

FROM the notice appended, which we
take from the Dennison (Tex.) Daily
Herald, it would appear that those
Southern fellows are determined to have
their joke, ever if it be at the expense
of the fair sex. We will warrant that
the lady mentioned cannot be induced
to show any notes" after reading the
following:
A lady correspondent, with the Iowa editorial
party, Visited the stock yards, and wanted to
know what they were for. In a joke, she was
told. that about two thousand head of cattle
were slaughtered weekly there. She took out
her notebook and '.jotted" it down.
