We do not altogether believe in the
peaceful indications in European af-
fairs. Here is recent item of news
that looks very warlike:
Eastern dispatches report that the
Providence (R. ~ tool company,
which was for the past year active in
the manufacture OF Peabody Martial
rifles for the Turkish government,
and which has been shut down since
the cessation of hostilities between
Turkey and Russia, has suddenly as
sumed anair of activity that indicates
fresh contract. The secret of this
brlskness lies in the fact that the
company has just completed con-
tract with the Russian government
for the manufacture of over half mil
lion of rifles of the same pattern and
caliber as those furnished to the Otto
man government. The factory will
soon be running on full time with
from 500 to 1900 men employed. A
visit to the Office of the company dis
closes the fact that they are making
for the filling of the
largest order they ever received from
any foreign country.

The Kansas city Price Current says
that the drive of Texas cattle this
season will reach fully three hundred
thousand head in good condition. and
they will reach their destination much
earlier than last year. Eighty five
thousand head Of cattle in Southern

by the middle Of June.
The world is but just beginning to
realize the vast capacity of the Uni
ted States to produce food. What
Texas is in the way Of making meat
Minnesota is in the way of making

In an article headed after Re.
sumptiOn''-issue of May 28-the st.
Louis Republican has the following:
but it is is now suggested that
combinations will be formed to ex.
haust the secretary's stock Of silver SO
as to tap his gold hoard and draw it
off. It is said this will be done by
persons presenting one million dollars
in greenbacks for which they will
receive million silver dollars: these
will be used to borrow another million
greenbacks to be presented for re-
demption-and so on until the silver
in the treasury is exhausted, when
the gold would have to be paid out.
This is certainly practicable, and it
could be done, If, after resumption.
gold should continue to be at con-
premium over greenbacks. :"
In the meantime gold has risen from
l-s of l per cent to l l-S per cent.

The papers are filed with glowing
accounts Of the universal excellence
of the wheat crop. As an offset to
those reports we would cite the fol-
lowing items.
LONDON, June 4.-The Mark Lane
Express says by the most hopeful
observers it can scarcely be said that
the state of the wheat and barley on
the heavy low lying land is other
than extremely critical. The crops
are weak, discolored and rotten in
some places from prolonged immersion
and even on light lands harvest pros
poets are two or three sacks per acre
worse than month ago. If the rain
speedily ceases, and long spell Of
dry weather succeeds. some, but not
all of the damage may be repaired.
Such unfavorable change in the pros
poets of the English wheat crop would
once have had . marked effect on
prices. but so Independent has this
country become Of indigenous grain
that the reverse has actually bee1 the

two shillings all over the kingdom.

The immediate cause Of this depres-

OF an abundant crop this year, and !

Some of our readers will be glad to
get the following item of railroad
news:
DAVENPORT. Ia, May 31.--To-day
Judge Dillon issued an order to J. p.
Farley, receiver of the st. Paul & Pa
citic railroad, to extend the main line
to Pembina, siXty-fve miles, and the
branch line from Melrose to Fergus.
The grade Of both extensions was
built previous to 1873, when the re
ceiver was appointed. The sum of
half million dollars is to be borrow

cities and the eager wish even of the
dandies is to possess a farm. It re.

Genl. Jennison INDUCES in this
neat piece of sarcasm:
The Washington correspondent of the ST
Paul dispatch says that congressman Dunnell
and Strait ike their position and duties. We
don't care much about Mr. Dunnell, but we
are glad Maj. Strait likes his place We were
afraid 1t might become bore to him.
If Jennison thinks he can drive
Maj. Strait off the track by any such
Jokes as that he has mistaken his
man. Slnbad might just "a well have
attempted to rid himself of 1.-THE Old
Man of the Mountain by making fun
of him. The only way the unfortu-
nate sailor could eventually get clear
OF his incubus was by cracking his
head open with q rock. The Repub-
licans of the ID District will have to
resort to equally extreme measures.
Possibly cracking Straits head might
improve it.
