Bombardment.
Il WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.--President Peix-
OTTO, of Brazil, has consented to dis
mount the guns in Rio de Janeiro, and
Admiral De Mellos, commander CT the
insurgent fleet, has agreed not to fire
on the city so long as the guns remain
dismounted, This word was received
from Commander Pickering, Of the
United States cruiser Charleston, now
in the harbor at Rio de Janeiro.
This agreement, it is believed, was
brought about through the efforts of
the representatives of the foreign
powers at Brazil. For the past week
the foreign ministers have been trying
to bring about an arrangement to save
the Brazilian capitol from destruction
ut the hands of the rebels, and accord
ing to the foregoing official dispatch
they have been successful for the pres

TIE last charge which the republic
an leaders make against the democracy
is that our party is responsible for the
invention of the wire nail. This charge
is made in an indirect way, as the peo-
pie pay tariff taxes, and not boldly and
definitely. They point TO the idle cut
nail mills. closed on account Of the
threatened reduction of the tariff to q
revenue basis The truth is the wire
nail has closed the cut nail works the
world over. Notwithstanding this
known fact the republican press and
orators point to the worn-out cut nail
factories and charge their destruction
to the democracy. This charge is just
as reasonable as any they make az To

Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE has pen.

view he treats the silver problem.
While we do not agree with the prem.

are frank to acknowledge that Mr..
Carnegie is not SO wildly wrong as to
deserve unqualified disapproval In
deed, he says some good things, among
which is that the present silver situ'
alton, brought about by the enactment
of laws by the republican party, is
much more disastrous to trade than
any change in tho tariff laws would be.
He even hints that change in the
tariff laws could be borne. Let us sug-
gest tn the republican press Of the state
that they might be largely benefited by
perusal of Mr.. Carnegie's article in

upon demurrer to the cross.complsint.
before him held that walk was not q

statute and a lien could not DO established
for it's construction. The demurrer of the
Foster az Bennett Lumber Company to the

the question squarely before the court and
he held that fence was not structure"

GUESSING them, and they will do SO.

pany. on which be has been at work for the

That the grade of the north approach be in
