The recent appointment Of Hon. Geo.
NJ. Bowers to be Supervisor OF the Cen
sus for West Virginia is generally en-
dorscd throughout the State, not only
by his party friends, who know him to
be 4 loyal Republican, but also by Dem
ocrats who have the pleasure Of his
acquaintance. 5 t
Though young man, Mr.. Bowers has
established for himself Statewide rep
utation for business tact. There is not
single requirement that he cannot
bring to the position, and the interest
West Virginia has in the census win not

This was the same cry that was raised
in the last Presidential campaign, in

free trade folly OF the Democracy. The
old refrain was "the tariff is a tax"
But the intelligent farmer was not de-

Here are some statements Of the hard.
Snaps the western farmer is compelled to

that he was much better of than others,
said: sd a

at work to bring Indiana influence TO

practical man OF the company, went TO
Indiana to seek the cooperation OF CAPT.

suit OF his labors was the organization

COMPI. ETING ITS LINE.

The Great Northern Making Extensive
Preparations in the West.
ST. PAUL, July 31.-The Northwestern
Railroader to morrow will say: "The
Great Northern railway line is now
making active preparations for complet-
ing its line to the Pacific coast. On the
east end the route will start from a point
within three miles of Fort Assinnaboiue,
following a northern course, which has
been located to the summit of the rock
les. The contractors are now figuring on
this portion of the work, which will be
let at once. The grade on the east ap-
proach to the rockies will be an easy one
and will nowhere exceed l per cent;
neither will there be any tunnels on this
part of the work. It is the intention to
commence at once to move the materials
for work in order that the
work may be pushed as rapidly as posi-
BILE. On the west end the contract has
already been let to Shepard & Co. for
the extension of the Fairhaven & South
ern se~venty-five miles to Seattle, which
will be the principal terminus of the line
on Puget sound. Preparations are also
being made for building south from
Seattle toward Portland. It is estimated
that it will require two years to build the
extension, which will be about 800 miles
in length and a greater portion of it
through mountainous country.

She Burned Her Bed,

PITTsBURG, July 31.-At 3 o'clock this
afternoon fire broke out in the Hunga-
rian settlement in the east end of Brad
dock, an iron town nine miles up the
Monongahela river, and in a short time
thirty-eight houses were consumed.
Among these we're some dozen brick res
licences owned by Americans, but the re-
naming we're frame houses of two stories
and occupied by Hungarian laborers.
The thirty-eight houses contained 1876
families, embracing $50 people. who
turned out pell nell into the street, car
rying a congruous assortment of second
hand goods useful only to them. Owing
to the scarcity of water the
entire upper end of the town
was threatened, but with two fire
companies from this city, the flames
we're confined to two acres of closely
packed buildings. The loss will amount
to 100000, chiefly on the buildings, as
the foreigners saved everything of value,
and risked their lives in a reckless man
ner for their household goods. In spite
of this, however, no one was hurt, and
tomorrow buildings will be erected over
the ravaged spot, as the Carnegie iron
firm has ordered board shanties to be
built for the workmen. The fire was
started by a Hungarian woman who, find
ing her bed uninhabitable, carried it out
into an alley and set fire to it, and every
thing else within two squares.

BUENos AYREs, Aug. 1.-At the begin

took command of the government forces,

triumphing and it was decided to grant
the truce asked by the government until
10 a. m, when the fight was to be CON

been decide to stop firing to enter into
treaties. While this was going on the
government was receiving troops from
tbs interior and many commi ssioned SOL
diers about the streets we're killed and
many others wounded by the citizens.
On the 25th the firing started in again,
the revolutionists being helped by
six men-of-war bombarding the places
occupied by the government troops, caus
ing damage of small Importance. At 4
p. m. on the same day the men. of-war
ceased firing oy order of the revolution
lists who abandoned their arms according
to agreement with the government. The
leaders of the revolution say this agree
ment was entered into because of their
want of ammunition. The people are
greatly discontinued with the arrange
ments. Some of the soldiers have COM

been obliged to have his leg amputated.
Col. Campos, a revolutionist, is dead.
