The Cincinnati Enquirer chronicles
the doath of its heroic correspondent
at Gronada, Miss., Wyandotte Rey-
nolds. Ho was ono of tho few ill-
fated citizens who remained at his
post during tho trying ordeal. His
last dispatch was writton in a house
whore his mother, wife, two sisters
and child lay sick with the fever,and
tho corpse of his brother. His last
words over tho wiro noith woro,
“God help us.” Such heroism is
worthy of tho deepest vonoration.
As fast as telegraph operators
are sent to Grenada they are strick-
en down with tho fever. Tho last
cal! mndo by tho Howards for an
operator to keep tho offico open
was answered by J. W. Hunsneker,
who volunteered to go into the very
jaws of doath and opon communica-
tion with the world for the torribly
stricken placo. His doath is almost
certain and fco knows it full well.
His heroism ovey-ruled what fears
for his personal safety ho may havo
felt and taking his life in his own
hands he went forth to his duty and
to death. _
Tiif. demand for reduction in tho
prices of sleeping ear faro is grow-
ing louder every day. Thoro cer-
tainly is no good reason why tho
Pullmans should adhere to old war
prices when everything else is doiyn
to hard time’s prices. It is true,the
Bloeping car is a luxury that is not
absolutely indispensable. It is also
true that tho American pcoplo have
a weakness for luxuries. But in tho
caso of tho Pullman car monopoly
thero is a vast difference in tho na
ture and nocossity of tho luxuries.
The Pullman cars aro covered by
patents; no railroad can build and
operate sleeping cars without the
consent of tho Pullman company.
Every railroad must run them
because it is fashionable. While
railroads would willingly op
crate sleeping cars much chcap-
ebenpor than tho -Pulliinans they
dare not. The Pullmans aro mak-
ing hay while the sun shines. When
their patent expires every road in
the country will have sleepers of its
own. Tho Pullmans could malio a
decent profit on their investment by
* charging reasonable prices. But
thero is no way of forcing them to
make the roduclion cxcopl to refuse
to patronize tho concern.
mm
• Hallo* Vornmtrciql grasps the
situation when, In ita iasue o! tho 2d,
it itatos in an able* editorinl defining
democracy, that according to the
Interpretation of some democratic
presses in this State, nobody who
fills the ideal of the democracy pro-
scribed by the extremists can be
elected president in 1880. In order
to eater to the wishes of the greet
masses of voters of this State, the
convention at Austin adopted a plat-
form which would bo unobjeotiona-
blo from a greenback point of view.
Many good democrats do not and
cannot conscientiously ondorso this
Austin platform, and aro not suffi-
ciently hypocritical to pretend to
espouse a causo which would lead
the party into disintegration. On
the othor hand there are many
equally honost, who really beliovo
tho^deraocracy to be tho real green-
back party'. Those, while approv-
ing of tho embodiment of their fi-
nancial viowb in tho State plalform,
cannot but condomn the loo evident
appearance of lack of sincerity, and
the making of a sort of catch-penny
advertisement to gull groenbackors,
of an array of principles that should
bo adopted ns a rulo for the govern-
ment of the party. There are too
many who caro little for an exposi-
tion of principles. They aro demo-
crats boeauso their fathers wero and
because tjio material lacteal flu-
id with which their infantile
appotitos wore assuaged was
of a strong democratic flavor.
Thero are many who care absolutely
nothing for principles, but all for
policy—whoso ambition is not tho
welfare of tho country; but who aro
actuated only by an inordinato
greed for offico, to obtain which
they would willingly subscribe to
anything, no matter how dangerous
to our institutions, disastrous to our
national wclfaro or dcloteVous to
progress.
Dissensions must of nocossity
arise whilo tho lines of party which
havo hitherto beon so woll defined,
becomo daily moro lax. Those dis-
cords will becomo greater as the va-
riance botwoon tho democracy of
the sovoral sections booomos moro
thoroughly discussed and better un-
derstood. Of courso tho office-hunt-
ers would gladly “pool their issues,”
but tho thinking pooplo of tho coun-
try aro more intent upon sock-
ing their political emancipation
from the hungry loaders, and tho
day for a compromise has passed.
What the rosult will bo, it is difficult
to conjecture, but it is unmistakably
apparent thatthogreonbnek theories
of finance aro steadily gaining
ground with tho people, and no at-
tempt to sell to tho New York
“bar’! o’ money,” as was dono in
76 will succeed in ’80, although tho
effort to effect tho trndo will be
made.
EXCUAXGE-EXOTICS.
Si. Louis Globe-Democrat:—Tho
movement to abolish superfluous
military' titles is beginning to loom.
Tho Globe-Democrat lias tanglod its
tow-line in tho titles and they’re
bound to come off.
St. Louis Dispatch A now po-
litical sub-station 19 to be established
permanently at the fair grounds, the
association, with its characteristic
liberality, orects tho building at its
own cost. This is a good move, and
one that will bo fully appreciated
by tbe residents in tho vicinity.
An exchange says : “Wo adviso
tho people to hold on to their trade
dollars, and not bo swindled by
speculators, who, haying bought
them up at a big discount and passed
them oil’on tho people at par, are
now trying to depreciate them and
buy them bnck at another big per
cont. profit. It is a shame that in
this endeavor tiny havo been aided
and ubetled by the director of the
mint, and he ought to bo removed
instantly for the part lie lias played
in tho matter. But at any rale do
not bo swindled by this move-
ment. By tho timo congress
meets there will be such a
buzz about this double dealing in
regard to tho trade dollar ns to com-
pel its recognition as a legal tender
or ils conversion into tho standard
dollar. Tho people aro getting ex-
cessively tired of theso sort of
manoeuvcrs,and they will soon make
it lively for those engaged in them.
If they will just hang on to tho trade
ddlars they have in their possession
nnd positively refuse to part with
them for less than one hundred
ccnls, they will be practically at
par boforo ninny weeks without
any' action of Congress. They are
a necessity for fho Chinese trado,
and, ns I he Treasury has discontin-
ued their coinage, they mnst nocess
arily soon be in active demand,”
St. Louis Journal:—Stalo Treas-
urer Gates talks about securing a
now lot of bondsmen, and wo advise
his friends to avail themselves be-
tween this timo and to-morrow
night of tho opportunity oi going
into bankruptcy, so ns to bo fully
prepared to become sureties for
iioiioat Elijah.
WacoJTelcphono:—Thejnorth Tex
as papers seem somewhat divided
in opinion as to Senator Mtxoy’s
future prospects—about 1881, for
examplo. A few of them insist
that lie is strong ns over, whilo still
others do not hesitato at asserting
that ho .has lost prestige and in-
fluence to wondorful extent. The
dissatisfaction is easily traceublo to
tbe gubernatorial canvass and its
results.
St. Louis Times:—It would bo
well to know bow much working-
men in Ben Butler’s mdls aro bonc-
filted by bis advocacy of tbe labor
parly. To what extent do his hu-
manitarian ideas, his sympathy with
tho borncy-handod sons oi toil ame-
liorate) their condition? Do llioy
work eight hours a day for full ten-
hour wages? When Ben takes hold
of a new project there is something
iu it that smells nfar of corruption.
Indianapolis Journal Kearney
and his Private Secretary, with tho
two Chicago bummers who took in
tho Sunday demonstration, shook
the dust of tho city fri in their shoos
yesterday and departed forSt.Louis.
There was no one at tho depot to
do tho honors or bid them godspeed.
They sat about the Union Depot
building for an hour arid a half
waiting for the train, and drew as
little attention as would the most
ordinery travelers.

Tho scientific young man of the
Austin Statesman says : “Newspa-
pers say that prairie dogs dig holes
oven 200 and 300 feet deep to get
water. Wo have not yet assented
to the truth ol this assertion ; on tho
contrary, theso lunny Iittlo animals
that bark so nervously and swing
their little tails so significantly from
right to loft when thoy divo out of
sight, draw water, wo are inclined
to believe, like tho- camels on Dr.
Taylor’s rancho, from tho cactus.
Tho difference is that tho curnols
draw* water from tho thick leaves,
whilo tho prairio dog sucks tho

es. It weighed eleven pounds thir-

four joints. This stalk was raised
on tho farm of Dr. J. J. Ingo, four
miles west of town, and is known ns
tho St. John’s whilo corn. Mr. Hol-
lingsworth has twenty-fivo ncros of
corn of the ordinary growth, and
among thorn found four stalks each

Boston Transcript: Somo 1,200
bead of Amorican cattle woro ship-
ped from this port on Saturday for
Liverpool, it costs $25 a head for
their passuge, besides food and at-
tendance, which their owners pro-
vide. And yot, after all tli's ox-
pensc, their beef is sold at n lower
rato in London than in Boston. All
of which is cxplainod by tho fact
that hoof in tin’s city is under the
control of a monopoly which keeps
the prices at such a point as to
make it a luxury which only the
rich can afford.
A foiigiic Amputated.
Robert F. Hurl but, private socrc
tary ol Gov. Bishop, of Ohio, has
recently bad hi9 longuo amputated
near tho root. Tho chin was sawed
in twain and tho jaws spread apart,
in order to take out tho diseased
tongno. Tho work was performed
in a comparatively short spaco of
time,and the patient was comfortable
and conscious in less than an hour.
Noxt day Mr.Ilurlbut walked across
the room and wroto Ins wants
upon paper. He is not permitted
to attempt to speak, and “of courso
could not do so if he desired. Tho
physicians think he will be able lo
articulate in courso of timo. Thus
far the difficulty lias been tr give
nourishment, which has been done
by injection. Glass tubes have beon
secured, and hereafter nourishment
will be given by that means until
the soreness in the mouth is sonic-
