A Trip Abroad--How Not to Go.

Mr.. Editor - The CaledOnidn has |

thinking, Why can't go? To all such

few bonds drawing paltTy four per cent,
or have made a pretty sum in Northern
Pacific, or A. T. & S. F. stock, turn sew

turns of any Investment you ever made.
But if you think you must join an ex-
cursion party, let me repeat Punch's
well-known advice to people about to

under seventeen or over seventy, or an
unprotected female, don't go to see the
world in procession. have no faintest
grudge against these troops or their
managers, but their woes have been
poured into my ears, others l have seen
with grief, so let me say-DOn't. You
can't afford the expense. A certain
| little account book bears witness that
an inexperienced voyager can go for
less than the sum charged in these COM
panies, to which must be added no small
trifie for extras, which in one case, ian
exception, probably, ian up to 5000.
l am prepared to believe the statement
that the American manager of one of
these parties has cleared $4,000 in the
asst two years.
Neither can you afford the trials. There
are only a few best rooms at hotels,
a few best seats in cars, and the distri-
button of these impartially is perhaps
impossible, certainly not attained.

The Indians Again.

1t will be remember that we spoke
of this subject few weeks since as I'M
der process of settlement. This was
the case, which we still hope may be
consummated. But they have the mat
ter before Congress, and it looks as
though certain members were deter
mined to kick over all that has been
done. There is no use denying the
fact that we have men in this business,
and have had all along, who wish to
keep up the Indian troubles to further
selfish designs. The only wonder
about the whole matter is, that the In
dams have behaved so well, when there
has been so much meanness and duplic-
ity among the "civilizedn whites. 1t is
plain that a certain element in this
country is bent on determination :"
but should we not expect that if such
a policy is pursued God will in some
way visit us with condign punishment ?
Justice does not always sleep, and we
may yet find out that the Indians have
a God as well as other people.

ness of the American navy. 1t is feared
that an enemy may spring up, like a
tiger from its lair, and capture impor-
tant points along our coast. While it
is always wise to keep at least one eye
open for breakers, we do not apprehend
any cause for alarm. Since the late
war we suppose our government has
not expended much in building new or
repairing old vessels. We are glad of
it, for it shows to the whole world a
disposition to peace. The war spirit is
the curse of the world to-day, and es-
pecially so of Europe, whose navies and
standing armies are sapping the very
foundations of her various nations. But
should it become necessary at any time
hereafter to increase our ornaments for
self defence, we are just the people to
do so, quickly if we must, at our leisure
if we eau. To make war machines of
our people, to keep them eternally I'M
der wal taxation, and to spend our en-
ergies upon forts, ships, and powder, is
of very doubtful utility, even though it
be necessary sometimes to use them.

had occupied alone for years was

body was found. The house was dis
covered to be one of the most remark

pictures, known to have been in exis-

Public Executions.

We will not now stop to argue the
wisdom oil the fallacy of the death pen
atty as punishment for the crime of
murder. But taking the law as it now
stands, it seems that when an execution
is to take place, it should be done in
Just as decent order as possible. In all
such terrible things as these, which are
bad, making the best of them we can,
we ought to show the best phase of civ
ilizatien we possess. That like begets
like is a scientific fact: and if we hold
up the horrors of blood before the peo-
pie, they will certainly become infected
10y such spectacles.
What kind of sensibilities must per-
sons have who wish TO see a human be-
ing lose his life, though he be a crimi-
mails No refined persons could ever
feel otherwise than cruelty shocked at
snch exhibitions. Obscene literature
and pictures are considered criminal,
because they vitiate and mar the moral
sensibilities, making men less spiritual
and more brutal in feeling and action.
Public executions can be no exception
to the general rule. No wise parent
would wish his child to become familiar
with obscene things, for he knows what
the result would be. We should con-
slider public executions in the same
light, for the same principle lies at the
bottom of both cases. If these things
must be, let them be with the utmost
privacy compatible with the just opera.

The Third Term.

We would not be an alarmist, but in
our Judgment there has been no time
since 1861, when the Republican party
has stood in greater danger of disrup
ton than now. The Issue of the third
term is what has brought this all about,
and it cannot be denied but this is the
great question of the hour. 1t is the
question that troubles the best men and
the sincerest patriots of the party. Did
the people give as general a call for
third term as they did for the first, it
would be plain they ought to have it.
But when there is such general dis
affection in party, as it is plain there
is now upon this point, to pursue this
scheme would not only be the height of
folly, but sure death to the party.
Unitedly, the Republican party is
strong, and can probably elect its mona
inee; but it is not so strong but even
small dissensions may ruin it for this
campaign, and perhaps forever. We
would not wonder that the greatest
hopes the Democrats have are that the
Republicans will be foolish enough to
persist in third term. We think it il
the one particular star upon which Til
den places his hopes. 1t should not be
of so much consequence to US who shall
be our next President, Jas that the party
shall be united, and elect the best man Ii
can. We hope yet, that the better
Judgment of the friends of all the presi
dental aspirants will in season see this
matter in this light and act according
ly. But truly, we have no faith in those
Republicans who are crowding the third
term business right On the eve of nom
ination, and in the very face of sucl
manifest danger.

| From the Burlington Free Press-l
1t is quite another thing to take his
name to the national convention back
ed by the old Bay state and by the
larger share of the Connecticut delega-
/ ton. If the national convention finds
itself facing choice between two New
England candidates, it cannot fail to be
very suggestive and influential fact
that the majority of New England is,
spontaneously, without prompting,
without wire-pulling, without the ex-
pendituIe of dollar in his behalf, and
really against his personal preferences,
for senator Edmunds.
[From the Boston journal.
The great body of the delegates and
the leaders in the convention in char
acter, intelligence and patriotic purpose
are worthy successors to those great
leaders in the party of freedom, whose
advanced views and able championship
of republican ideas placed Massachu-
sets in the van of the republican party
in the days of its infancy. The senti-
ment of the convention may not be en-
tirely in accord with that of republicans
in other states, but it is nevertheless
sat at the feet of snch republican teach
ers as Sumner, Wilson and Andrew.
From N. Y. Tribune, Blaine.J
The convention disclaims any inten-
ton to instruct the delegates to Chica-
go, TO whom the name of Mr.. Edmunds
is merely recommended as that of a
worthy candidate. The Massachusetts
republicans are entitled to their prefer
ences of course. There will be regret
that they should fritter away their his
tOric influence in an impractical cam
paign for an unwilling candidate, but
there will be admiration on all sides for
the just and manly spirit they have ex-
hibited, and for the genuineness and
sincerity of their republicanism.

The country now has the sober warn

that however democratic in his person

Il 1t is rumored in private circles
that Bradley Barlow will not be a can
didate for Congress this fall, but will
leave the field for his competitor of two
years ago, Gen. Grout. There is some
ground for this rumor we think in the
fact that Mr.. Barlow has bought the
Southeastern Railway, and is so en-
crossed in great business enterprises
that he cannot give proper attention to
his duties as COngressman-in fact he
has given very little time to the ''cOun-
try" the past year.

A Terrible Tempest.
At LEAST sEvENTY-E1GHT LIVES LOST.

L.
A terrible tornado swept through
Greene, Webster, and Crawford cOun-
ties, Mo-, Sunday night, causing great
loss of life and property. The storm
followed the course of the James river
in nOrtheasterly direction for more
than 100 miles. Marshfeld, the county
seat of Webster county, suffered the
most, not over IA buildings are left
standing in the place, and most of them
are badly damaged. The courthouse
and many other buildings took fire. At
one house two children were found dead
and the mother was badly mangled, but
still alive. In another case a woman
was lost entirely, being carried away
bodily. The wind stripped the bark
from trees, lifted others entirely out of
the ground and telegraph poles and
wires were carried hundreds of rods
into the woods, and tied and knOtted
among the limbs of the trees, as though
they were cotton strings. Many home
less families have taken refuge in the
depot and empty cars. The front
rooms of the courthouse, still left
standing, have been turned into a
hospital. Last evening the death list
reached 70, and it was being increased.
Many are yet missing, and number of
burials have not been recorded. Relief
parties from Springfield, Lebanon and
other places are doing all they can for
the suffering, and carloads of pro-
visions and other necessaries have been
sent to Marshfeld and the vicinity.
Many persons were killed or injured
in remote districts. At Gray's Creek,
near jefferson City, four or five houses
were blown down and number of per-
SONS injured. One house was blown
across the Missouri Pacific railroad
track and train ran into it, demOlish-
ing the locomotive and severely wound
ing the engineer and fireman. A new
Catholic church at Cuba was blown
down.
The storm did a good deal of damage
in Illinois also. Near ROckton Mr..
COlyer's honse was blown down, killing
his wife. At Decatur trees were uprOot-
ed, barns blown down and cellars filled
with water. At Ottawa several buil-
dings were unrOofed and barns wrecked.
At Warren several houses were blown
down and miles of fences, and all the
bridges are gone. AT Wenena, trees
and fences were blown down and much
property was destroyed. The mercury
fell As degrees in 10 hours.
Two cyclones passed over Davis
county, Ia, northeast, unroofng houses
and barns, destroying out-buildings and
prostrating fences and orchards in
Stiles. 1t left a patch of destruction
about 20 miles long and varying from
so to 300 yards wide, was accompanied
by terrific thunder and lightning, heavy
hail and great floods of rain,
