The Rebel Fleet Leaves Rio Ja-

The OBJECT FOR DOING 50.
They WIN he Able to Attack the Capital in
the Rear and Obtain Ammunition
-Pelxoto's PreoArious
Position.

BUENos AYREs, Sept. 20-The report
that a portion Of the rebel fleet had
succeeded in forcing a passage past the
forts at Rio and had put TO sea with
the intention Of making matters inter
esting for Santos or some other place
In the south is confirmed. Provisions
at Rio are becoming very scarce and
the highest prices are charged for all
the necessaries of life. This Is causing
much suffering among the poor classes.
Several ships loaded with cattle are
announced TO be leaving La Plata for
the use of the insurgents. The latter,
1t is claimed, have sent to the squad
ron Of the south instructions to de-
mand the surrender Of Santos, and in
case of refusal of the garrison TO sub
init, the city is to be shelled into sub
lection. Santos has large harbor and
an arsenal The latter is the point Of
attack Of the rebel ships.
by the possession OF Santos the rebels
could be In a position to get ammuni-
ton and other such material which the
fleet stands in need Of
Santa Pedro is connected by railway
with Rio, and has garrison loyal to
Peixoto But II the rebels capture
Santos, this railroad would enable
them TO attack Rio de Janeiro in the
rear and on the land side. This is be-
lieved to be the object of the revolu-
tionary leader in sending a squadron
south, and he is said to have received
assurance that he has many friends in
Santos that may be counted upon to do
everything possible to assist his cause.
NOTHING FROM MINISTER THOMPSON.
WAsHSGToN, Sept 20.-It has now
been four days since the state depart
ment has received line of information
from Minister Thompson at Rio Janeiro.
1t is believed by some of the officials
the insurgents have control of all the
telegraph lines leading from the Bra
lillian capital All are of the opinion
that affairs are in a very serious shape
and that the overthrow of the exist
ing government is very probable.

Many Dickinson teachers are familiar
with the school readers recently
compiled by Professor o. @. Hill, of
Hiawatha, and we believe some of the
schools in the county use them. The
American Book Co. has just brought
suit against Hill for sl8, 1875, and costs
of action. The book company claims
that 1t incurred expense aggregating
$4,000 in printing and distributing
school books which Hill claimed that
he had written aud prepared, and
obtained the copyright for. On these
representations, the American Book
Co. purchased Of Mr.. Hill the copy
rights, paying the sum of 1915 for
them. 1t is now alleged that large
portion OF the matter in the books was
plagiarized by Hill from books prepared
and copyrighted by others, and that the
copyright is therefore valueless

What Ia to Follow7

The cheering news comes from
Washington that the senate will talk
on silver for 80 days before taking a
vote, although every senator is already
decided upon his course. II the Sher-
man law is repealed, as seems likely,
this talk ought TO lay the foundation
for what is TO come after. For some
thing must come. The New York
Press we'll says: "Bimetallism, there
fore, represents American interest, as
gold monometallism represents Brit
ish interest. What is the attitude Of
the Republican party toward the
question: Beyond dispute the party
is committed conclusiyely to the pro.
motion Of the Joint use OF both the
precious metals. II is committed by
its Official utterances In its platforms;
by the tradition and practice OF the
government; by the fact that three
Republican presidents summoned three
international conferences In earnest
effort to procure an agreement to re.
monetlze silver; and by the fact that
the Republican party represents pro
lection to American interests from
European aggression. This was not
once denied by those who took part on
the gold side Of the recent debate In
the house Of representatives. The
western farmer, who is Impoverished by
gold monometallism, the silver miner
whose industry is injured by it,the cot
ton planter who has his debts enlarged
by it-these men are our fellow citizens.
Their prosperity brings prosperity to
the nation. When they can buy. then
the great manufacturing industries of
the east have Unsuitable market. When
they suffer we suffer. When their
products are exported at half their
value or less, the nation, as nation,
is the victim Of kind Of brigandage,"
The country demands that congress do
something at once to place our cur
rency upon satisfactory and stable
basis and 1t is the Democracy's duty
to do IL. Is II equal TO the emergency

Don't be misled by it.
New pension boards composed

Land Is Not Scarce.

Those who get excited over the
Cherokee StIip opening and declare
that the last Of the lands Of the nation
is gone are unduly nervous. There is
room enough for two or three more
empires in the uncultivated lands of the
west. The Globe Democrat
calling attention to this says: The
time Is coming when the semi arid
territory Of the country, aggregating
200, 200, 200 acres, will be utilized for
occupancy and cultivation. 1t is
considered virtually worthless now
because its value depends upon irriga
tion; but the facilities for its profitable
cultivation will be provided in the
course Of events, and it will then be
eagerly absorbed. The fact is to be
considered, also-and 1t is really the
most important one in the problem
that our population is spread over a
much larger amount Of land than VI
requires, or can till to the best
advantage. II is characteristic of the
American farmers that they are
constantly reaching out for more of the
soil, and the result is system Of loose
and inadequate cultivation that is
unknown In any other county. We
might derive valuable lesson In this
respect from the European nations
France, for instance, which supports a
population Of 3S,O00,00 on a no larger
area than that of Texas. 1t would be
infinitely better for us If our farms
were so reduced 10 siZs as to make
every foot properly productive. That
Is by no means the wisest and most
remunera;ive form Of agriculture which
covers the most ground. 1t is possible
for man to make more money on forty
acres than on four times as much. The
secret Of the largest profit lies in
thoroughness of cultivation, which is
an art that our farmers have not yet
acquired. This will come to be
understood az experience widens and
practical knowledge increases; and then
the farms will begin to grow smaller,
and productiveness will be augmented
accordingly, and the chances multiplied
for the individual possession of land.
