The Southorn fever drags its slow length along, its effects in the largor cities boing doily @uch less marked; yet oven there the deatli-rate is still dopondent to a great do- groe upon atmospheric changes. For sev- erl days past tho wenther has boen o mix- {nre of hicat and dampness, conditions which are Lha most unfavorable during the preva- lenco of yellow-fever. Tho plague is con. stantly apreading in the country districts, sud, whilo in somo localities it is of a most virulent nud uncontrollable type, in ather places the fover is rasuming A malarial char. actor, nnd; althongh many persons are at- tacked, the malady yields with comparative rendiness to the nsunltroatmont in such cases, Serions consideration is being given in Washington to the question of law prosent- od in the caso of the Arkansas distillers who armed themsclves and,fortified their prem. iscs against the nttompt at arrest nnd seizare by the Deputy Colleotor and his pome. It 18 balioved that the Rovised Statutos oxprossly confor upon the Presidont the anthorily, nnd, morcover, mako it Liaduty, to employ the land or naval forces of the United States to suppress unlaw- ful combingtions formed for tho purposs of obstructing or hindering tho execution of the Federal laws. This is praciscly the situation in Arkausas, nnd it is uo? unlikely thnt the Prosident and Attorney-General will decide that the military may be used to assist the revenue officers, in spito of tho attempted Democratic prohibition in the Army Appro- priation bill, . The immense crowd of people, not less than 80,000, presont at yeslerday's raccs of tho Chicago Jockey and Trotting Club af- forded conclusive proo! mot alone of the popularity of turf sports when honestly con- ducted, but nlso of the fact that under the suspices of the new Olub Chicago is about to tako its rauk as the leading clty of Amorica in this regard. Whataver Chicago docs should be well done, and it is gratifying to local pride to know that tho aitendauce of yestorday was probably the largest ever altracted golely Ly a fondnees for speed cone tests, Of the great race of tho day, in which Itny.s,’ Hopeful, and Great Eastern wore the contesinnls, it can ba fuirly said that its equal was nover before seen on n trotting track. ‘T'he haudieapping of Rarus lo wagon, whils Hopeful went in harness, wan neeessary fn order to placo the horses ns nearly aa possible npon an cquality, and while Hopeful trotted a superb raco—per- haps tho Leat of his career, considering tha senson of the year and tho condition of the now track—iaking his throe hoats in 2:17}, 7, and 2:16, the performanca of Rarus, 2:18}, £:18, and £:17, to wagon, was immens- urably groater ; unquostionnbly thie horso doos not live that could duplicate it on alike doy and track, ¢ AN EXTRAORDINARY WAIL. ‘Wa print a lettor from a Whiteside Counly farmer signed “Borf.” The writer s evi- doutly disgruntled at the outcome of his busfnesn, and s disposed to find fanlt with some ono other than lLimself, without con. sidering partienlarly whether his complaint I just or net. His 800 ncres of land wre in Whiteside Conuty, whero tho land s gone erally of good guality, and has nll the facili. tion of ncarness of mnrket, and at a very small outluy for trausportation. It is mot unreasouablo {o cstimato that it {s worth on an averago $13 per ncre, or 924,000 in all. Wa assuma thnt befora venturing on such n largo farm the owner was in a condition to furnish all the menns and applisuces, and the machinery, with tho requisito stock and Luildingy. It scoms that, according to hia acoount, after lnboring fourteen hours a day, and employing all tho skill and energy ho can comnmand, at tho end of tho year he iu only able to pay for what he and his family ont and wear, and for the ordinary exponscs of living, In short, o hian no surplus, Wa will not suggest, thouga thie results strongly indicate, that the cost of operating the Larm, jncluding in that term the oxpenditures for all purposes, furnish 8 point for fuvestiga- tion with a view to reduction. But, leaving that out of view for tho prosent, what is tho grievauco of whick the writer complains? During {ho year ending Aug. 81, 1878, the total exports of the United States bad o value of over $050,000,000, being suficient nofonly to pay forall the country Imported, but furnished a surplus of §289,329,154, Tha fact that thero was a surplus, and that it was so large, scoms to Lave exasporated the Whitesido County farmer, who regards it in somo way ns o personal injury, Of tho whals exports of the country, about 90 por cont were tho product of tho farmw, the forests, and the mings, Buppose there had been no foreign markot in which to sell this surplus,—suppose that, instead of Lelng able to sell this wheat, cors, calton, tobacco, pork, lard, butter, chocso, and other products of the field, it had oll to bo kopt at homo,— what would have been the price obtained for the wholo product? Tho quantity exported was tho surplus loft after supplyiug the whole country. If, in addition to all that was neaded to mect tho bomo want, $500,000,000 worth was sout away, what would have boen the pricen rocoived by the producers had thero been this 500,000, 000 . worths mors than was needed for consumption to be sold ot lome? The product of the 800 ncres, In case there was no demand for it aud no market in which it ¢ould bo sold, would be compara- tively valucloss. It would bo a drug on the market ; it would not pay for ita own trans. portation 100 wrles, Tho exportstion of form products * to glut a foreign market " is, sbove all things, the salvation of tho Awerican farmer. ‘To abolish that warket would reduco the proportionu of farmiug in this country. It would lwit the pro- duction of farm products to tho were locsl wants of the comntry; it would take from the yalue of tho laud iu the proportion that it would roduce the value of the prod. ucts. 'The Whiteside Oounty farmer would bhavae no occaslon to cullivato 600 acres; one. tenth of that srea wounld furnish all that was uceded for bis wants, The value of bread- sfuffy ju this conntry is fixed by tho price in the foreigu market. The prico of graln in Liverpool is the prica of grain at Morrison,— tho cost of trausportation and handling being added. When tho price falls in Liver- pool it fally at Morrison, aud, when thero is no il or demend at Liverpool, the gruin ot Morrison will not pay the cost of trans. portation, The grealer the duwand, the grenter the quantity meed.d in ths £ cign market, the greater the prica and the greater tho salos at Morrison, When the foreizn market fails, the Amerienn farmer must reduco the sizo of his farm, must abandon a large part of his prodnction, and be contont to sell one-hnlf of what hoe now sells, at perlinps less than one-half he now gets per bushel. One-fourth or moro of thoso now engaged on farnt, having no farther occupation, wonld have to discover soma now bnsiness or become tramps, The American manufacturer is just now emerg- ing from tho condition af prodncing without A market. ‘The American manufacturers have the capital, tho machinery, and the labor sufficiont to produce farin excoss of the wants of tho country., The consequonce was that many of the mills, factories, fur- nnces, and shops ware closed, others were reduced to half time or quarter time, and with a rednced numbor of hands, The un- employed men, having no wages, censed to be consumers of manufactures, and the home market was further reduced each timo ngang of operatives was discharged. At Inat the policy of manufacturing for export was consldored, and oach year thero is now a’large addition made to the quan. tity of American manufactures exported ond sold in foroign markets, and to manufacture for that market has put idle machinery in operation, has caused furnaces to be relighted, and put unemployed labor at work at wagos. If a foreign markot can be built up for American mnnufactures, as one bns bLeen for agricnltural produots, then tho mills, factorics, furnaces, and workshops of overy degree can become active, and an amount of laborand machinery flud employ- ment far in excoss of whatover has been kuown in this country before. The greator sud wider the market, the greater tho prod. uet neaded, and the greater amonnt of labor, and employed people in demand, and the greater the sum of wages distributed, and the groater number of homes andof the comforts of lifesuppliedto agreator numbor of families. But tho Whitesido County farmer has perbaps o grievance of another kind, which lio meroly hiutsat. Perhaps he has bought land extensively, and that much, if not all, of his 800 acres of land Is mortgaged, and, while heenjoyed lustily the good times so long a8 ho was called upon ouly for his note, the time is nearing when the noto and mortgage are to be paid, Inspired by the Fiat dema- gogues, he thinks that, if the Government would issne flat paper money, that monoy would be worth only 25 cents when tho pres. ent greanbacke are worth a dollar, and that he would then rocoive four paper dollars legal-tonder for a bushol of wheat whero he now receives one, and, armed with this mouey, he conld pay off that mottgago and swindle his creditor. ‘Ihat, possibly, is what Is tho matter, Ile hns onjoyed tho money of his“croditor for some yoars, and now, whon the timo comygs to pay the dobt, ho wants the Governmont tolegaliza the pay- ment of his note at tho rato of cents on the dollar. Ifo cares nothing for tho integriy of the nation, carcy nothing for the houest performance of his own contraot, cares nothing for the many miilions of people who have invested thoir £50 or $100 of savings of wages In the nationnl bonds, Ile soes nothing but the mortgago he owes, and has no higher motive thun tho inveution of some schomo to swin- dle his ereditor out of the money ho hag been onjoying for o numbarof ycars, What to him is the national credit? What to him is the revival of busineas, tho renownl of all industrial occupntion, tho resumption and incresso of manufacturcs, the rapid and largo flow of goll to the country, and the additiou of six to eight millions of dollary of coin to tho currency ench mouth? All theso things do not concern him; he sces the 800 acrés of land ko bought wAl another man's mouoy, and is frotting becanss ho can- not keep the land nud discharge tho dobt with paper worth 25 conts on the dollar, Fiat money will not put amanat work whio othorwise would be unomployed. It wheal solling at a dollar a busbel m par currency costa the farmers of Whitoside that much to produco it, tho issue of 25-cont dollars will not help them, If it costs a coin dollar to ralso & buskiol of wheat, it will cost four 23.cent dollars to produco the sano quantity, Four paper dollars of that kind will not purchaso any more of anything thon will & coin dollar, and tho only possi- blo advantage that farmors can derivo from the fssuo of fiat moncy is that of cnnbling thoso who owe honest debts to swindle thelr ‘creditors by the isaue of swindling paper called monoy, e PR THE LESSON OF THE INDIANA ELECTION. 1t in ouly iu tho result in Indiana that the Tepublicans hinve any occasion for rogret as to the Octobok clections, aud the disappoint. ment {5 incroased by the mortification of ad- mitting that the Rapublican party of that Btato is cloarly to blano for having accom- plished so little, In 187t tho Stato went Domocratic by somothing over 5,000 majori. ty, but tho Republicans socured nine Con- grosswon out of thirteon; thero was very good I1duk in this, as all tho closo and doubt- ful distrlcts bappenad to turn out in favor of tho Rtdpubticans, It wos not to be expected that the Republicans would do &0 well this year, but thoy have fared worse -than they should have fared. The Demooratio wmafori- ty for tho Btate tickot will probably prove to be from 12,000 to 15,000, and, if Mr. Osri is defeated in the Lafaystte Distriet, the Ito. publicans will have only five Congressmen in a delogation of thirtecn, Tho reason why the Iepublicans have follon so far bebind In Indiaun iy yoar is simplo enough, Thof started out to coddle ond pampor the flué craze, Whilo the plat. form adopled by the LRepublicans was not 80 outlandish on the moncy question as that of tho Natlonals or Democrats, it loaned to inflation and indicated o dluposition to play fost oud loose with the Groenbackers, It botrayed an uncortain aud demagogical dis- position among the mauagiug men of the party, which meds the sound-mouoy Ropub- licans lukewarm, and kept tho souud-money Damocrats from voting the Ropublican ticket. As o matter of principle, this courss was ut- terly dospicable; ns a 1patter of polioy, it hos proved disastrous, Gun. Haunisoy, the leadivg topublican of the Btate, Lud no sym. patby with tho policy, and took tho earlicst opportuuity to repudiate it on tho stump, oud to advocate straightforward and sensible ourroucy measures. But it was too late to rowove thelmpression which prevailed in the #tate,tothe effcct that the Ropublican party ju Indiana was no better thau the Domocratic or National party so far as mouey views wore coucerned. Indoed, in the Fort Woyne Dis. trict, the Republicans did uot nomiuate a candidate for Conyress, Lut indorsed Hrupe- vaxey, the Greenback candidate,—thus pur- suing procisely the sume course as that tukon by the Democrats of the Iudiavapolis Dis- trict, who indorsed the Nutional candidate, Dx 4 Mazru. ‘I'ho position of the Republic. aus waa thus fatally weakeued. The soft. daeg penple £l sur B vathor the Davios crotic or National ticket, and gonernlly did 80; of tho 30,000 National votea cast, it is anfe to mny that over 20,000 were drawn from the Republican party, becanse roft-money Domocrats were content to vote thoir own ticket. The situation wnas such that the Republicans could not gain any soft.monay voles, and they deliberatoly alienated tho mctive support of tho sound- movney poople. Tho rasultisn loss of sev- eral Congressmen and the choice of a Legs- lature which will probably elecd the flat demagogue Vooraoees to the United States Benate, Tha verdiot in the case of the Indiana Ro- publicans, after a proper consideration of all circumatances, must be that they aro respon- sible for their own misfortuncs, The result will not he mo deplorabls it it ahail teach Ropublicans elsowhera, a4 it cortainly ought, to adhera to the principles of the party, to advocato the policy of honesty, and to re- frain from running after strango ‘gods. ~Had the Republican party of Indiana offered the ssme opportunity for sound-money men to rally undor sls auspices that wag ofered by the Rtepublican party in Ohio, wo venture tho nsyertion Lhat the result would have been ns gratifying in the formor Btato as it is in the Iatter. THY AUSBTRIAN OCCUPATION. The rosistance made by tho Turks and ronegade Christians in Bosnia nnd Iferzego- vina to the occupation of those provinces scems to have been completoly overcome, and the Austrinns are in full posscesion, and will stay. Thus ono provision of the Trealy of Berlin is carriod ont, It will be remom- bored that that provision was very loosely drawn, It anthorized Austria to occupy and administer the Government of the provinces, bat set no limit as to the duration of tho oc- cupation or the arca of territory o be occu- pied. Since the provision of authority was 0 vaguely expressed, it is not rn‘mnknhll that tho supplementary convention botwoen Austriaand the Porta fell tirough, and that Austria, whon asked by Turkey to fix a speci- flod term of oconpntion, declined to do so, since there was nothing in the treaty to ro- quirs it. Upon this point tha ob. vious iufercnco is that -Austrln can stny as long ns sho plenses. In other words, the Treaty. of DBerlin awards Bosnia aud Herzegovinn to Austria as hor share of the spoils, The refasal of Tur- key to sanction the occupation has about ns much forco as the protest which tho worm way be supposed to make against tha opera- tions of the early lird, The Hnugarian oppo- sition will amount to but little more. Hun- gary will naturally grumble at having to share in the exponso of tho war ngainst the insurgonts, and the fresh addition to the Helave interost in tha Austrinn Gavernment, but it will amount to little bt bluster. Bos- nin and Horzegovinn as integral portions of the Austrian Empire may bo regarded as an accomplished fact, and 1t Is tbo Inte to recon- sider or alter it excopp through the medium of a war 1n which none of tho other Powory wounld like to engage. Bosnis and Herzogo. vina ars honceforth as much Austrian na Hungary and Transylvania. It is not only for the best intercsts of the provinces concerned, but of all Enstorn Europe, that Austria ébould hold theso rola- tious to thom. Bhe will improve tha con. dition of the pcople, develop the resources of their country, and open up now avenucs of trnde oud commorce. Already she has projocted two hnportant lines of rallway,— tho one running north and south throngh Bosnia, and connecting with the ling alrendy bLuilt. northwardly from Balouica; the other, paasing through Servia and conncoting nonr Hophia with tho rond to Coustaulinoplo, Those two great linea will not only be of importanco to Austrin as military highways, but they will miake the wholo fortilo valley of the Danubo tributary to ler com. morclally, By crushing out the Tarks, aud ronegade Christians who are harder taskmasters than tho Turks, sho has doliv- orcd the peseantry from o persistent mys. tem of cruelty aud persecution in compari. son with which human slavery sooms sourco~ ly moyo odlous, IHitherto they have been doniod any participation in the Government, any ropresentation in the courts or upon juries, or any right to teatify agaiust Aloham- medans, They havo boen ground down into tho vory dust with taxes, and, whon thoy have been unable to pay them, wore compelled to give up thoir homes, Thelr crops wero al- ways lisblo to bo levied upon for tributo, and they Lad no rodress, + If thoy reasted they wero slaughterod, and no one was punished forit, 'Chey wero in hardly bettor condition than tho beasts of the fleld,—cor. taluly were not treated as woll. The Austrians will 1itt thowm up out of thelr mis. erablo condition and give thom tho rights of Austrinn oitizewship, Thoy will give them the right to live and cnjoy the fruits of their labor. They will glve them the right of represontation in the Governmont and {n the administration of tho laws, They will givo them the advantages of educdtion and the privilegos of religion, Tho entiy of the Austrians inuto thoso provinces was lko ad. witting the sunshine into a dungeon, Thegy bring with thow liborty for the people, and, now that thelr oppressors havo beun driven out, the people will gladly show their al. leginoce to Austrisn rule. If all tho other provisiona of the Lorlin Tronty work out such baneficent results, the Turko-Jussian war will prove to have boen the crowniug Ulrgsing of the ninetoonth contury, EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS, The newa from Eastern Europe {s not encoursging for ihe prospect of permsucnt péaca, 'Tho oocupation of Bosnia Ly the Austrians has drivon the Turks to frenzy, capoclally a8 it is now apparent to them that the Austrians propose uot ouly to oceupy Novi-Bazar, but to advauce futo thoe extrome southoastern part of Losnia, which lies tothe south uf Hervis. The TPorle Loy not ouly refused to slgu the agriemont with Austris, in view cf Ler refusal to name any limit of tune in occupation, but has addressed a cir- oularto the Powars resorviug the Bultan’s: soversign putbority over Bosnia and Her. zegovina, aud waroed them that, if Austria ocoupiss Novi-Bazar, it will lead 10 terrible disasters,—which, belug interpreted, ovident. Jy means that Turkey will declaro wursgatust Austris and incito general turmoil aud eon. fusion throughout the Dunublan provinces, 8o far as tho definite result of such a war is conourued, the threat is au impotent one, though Turkey msy succeed in procipitating frosh troublus. As between Turkey and Austria, 8 war would load to & dufeat of the former cven moro crushing than shs sulfored iu the recout war with Russia, Hervia ond Montenegro would take sdvautage of it to seeuro the territory awarded to thum by the Congress, which the Porto is uow s0 re- luctant to relinguish, ° All Greece would spring to arms and becomo the jnstant ully of Austria to secure the territory that legiti- wately belongs to her, it'there is any ru- ced upon Eeglivh prowises, Albapia wounld aide with Turkoy againat Austria, but her assiatance would be amall. Itis difficult to seo what hopo of assiatance Turkay conld have in making war against Austria. England is the only friend slio bas in Earops, but even her friendship is not g0 strong that she will supply her with any mora momoy. Having already ro- fused to lond her money with which to make reforms, it is not likely that ske will lend her money with which to make war agninst a friendly Power, Again, ib Is not likely that England will fly in the face of the Congress and ondanger hgr relations with Anstria, aftor the good offices of tho Intter, meroly for the purposo of cnabling Tarkey to nullify one of the provisions of the troaty, howavor vague and loose that provision may be. It is not impossiblo that tho Turks colint upon the sympathy and the support of the Hungariaus, sud argue that, in case of war, tho Jatter will agitate and bring abont such a crisis in politienl affairs as to cripplo, if not paralyze, the Govern- ment, Buch support as this, however, is littlo bettor than ‘n broken reod. If Turkey 18 rash snough to rush into a war with Aus- trin, there will bo littla loft of her whon she gots through. Another ignificant featura of the situation is the determination of the Russisns not to leave Roumelin at pres- ent. They still romaln near Con. stantinople, and have declared their inten- tions not to go further out of tho province than Adrianople, since, at every move thus far, tho Turks have commencad to maltreat aod massacre the Obristians loft behind. Porhaps nothing would suit Russia better than to have Turkey rush into an insane confligt with Austrin while hor own armica wore still on Turkish soil. With war already commenced agalnst Afghanistan, snd with the materinla for an- othier slowly acoumulating in Southenstern Europo, the congratulation of ths English that tus Berlin Congross had setiled the Eastorn question for suother quarter' of a cantury sooms somewhat promature, If auy- thing is proven by the course of ovonts since tho treaty was signed, {t s that the troaty sottled nothing, cither temporarily or per- manently, Itsimply formulated cortain rec- ommendations, and those in whoso favor the recommondations wers made con obtain themn if they aro strong emough. Not a Power in Europe is bound to enforce a sin. gle provision® of ' lho treaty, It moy bs donlited wikdther any European State or provinee is morally bound to carry them ont, Bervia, Montonegre, and Gréaco cau got their territory if thoy are strong enough to take it, just ns Austris haos taken Bosnis and Herzegovina, and Russia her share of the plunder. ‘Turkey will carry out reforms if &ho ean raise tho monoy, .
