THAT OI.I.I: DOXATKIX.
There .-eems to be a disposition ou tho part of a few Democrats in this county to make a political issue out of the appropriation of Sl.OOO made by the Hoard of County Commissioners to Wabash College. A considerable number of the more thoughtful men of that party, we are pleased to say. take no stock in such narrow guage politics. A more liberal spirit prevails among the broad minded Democrats, and they deplore the fact that the small pittance •riven to an educational institution which has done so much in the development of Montgomery county should be made the target of a political campaign.
For nearly two-thirds of a century Wabash College has been recognized as one of the leading educational institutions of the West. It lias done more to give Montgomery county a name and a prestige from one end of the State to the other, and throughout the country than any other agency. The young men it lias educated can be found in every work and calling and in almost every State in the I'nion and in fact all over the world. Wabash College furnished the man with the brains and the energy that gave to Indiana her splendid system of public schools. The system nQ doubt would have come in time but
I'rof. Caleb Mills was the first in the field with his plans and they were incorporated into our constitution and laws, and the State and the county are indebted to him for this the crowning glory of our advancing civilization.
For all that Wabash has done for Crawfordsville and Montgomery county what have they given in return? 'Irue it is a private institution managed altogether by l'resbyterians and nominally is a Presbyterian college, but it is not under the control of the Presbyterian church, and is not therefore sectarian in the strict sense of the tv:riii. Young men of all denominations and of no denomination find a warm welcome within its precincts. The influence of the college is ou the side of Christianity, but sectarianism is not taught. It inculcates in the hearts of young men Christian principles. but this is only incidental to its prime object which is to give a broad anil liberal education of the most advanced standard which will fit them for the duties of life.
During the sixty-two years of its'existenee in Crawfordsville Wabash College through a broad philanthropy has acquired grounds and money for the erection of buildings which are valued at s:."Tf.noil. This may be considered as dead capital and besides the buildings are very expensive to keep in repair. Its endowments and general fund will amount to 3'f,,000. from which it derives an annual income of about SI'.t.piiO. Every intelligent person will understand that the endowments and general fund cannot be encroached upon for current ex pensos. These expenses, which include the salaries of its twenty-five instructors and a myriad of incidentals must come from tuition fees and from the interest derived from its endowments. It has library funds which bring in an annual income of about SI,sou. but these can only lie used for the benefit of its large and growing library. It also has a benevolent fund which returns an income of fromS2,.jOO t03$:i.()00. This is set apart to aid worthy young men, and who must be assisted or fail in their ambition for a complete, education.
One of the generous friends of Wabash is Mr. Simon Yandes, of Indianapolis. who has given first and last, the munificent sum of iV0.000. He gave ?l(i,(iO() for the erection of that splendid structure, the library building, known as Yandes Hall: S'.'O.OOO to the benevolent fund to aid indigent young men: Sr,000 to the library fund to beiexpended for books ami 000 to the general fund. Of the latter sum S.'IO.OOO was on the condition that the friends of the college bhould raise S:tl),ll00 additional. Lie
clearly saw the necessities of the institution and its widening plans for greater usefulness, and that increased facilities required greater sums of money. To secure this S-'iO.OOO the friends of the college set to work to raise it by subscription. After a thorough canvass they succeeded in being able to report $','0,000. It was the last $10,000 that brought the discouragements, and they reluctantly invoked the aid of a law enacted by the Legislature of lS.s'.i—a law by the way which was passed by a Democratic Legislature and which went into force without the approval of Coventor Ilovey.—and asked tho Board of Commissioners through a long petition signed by some of the heaviest taxpayers of the county, both Republicans and Democrats, to make a donation covering this sum. After a due consideration of the petition, taking into account the property holdings and the character of the petitioners, the Commissioners made a donation of $4,000 payable at the end of one year but without interest, and Jij.ooo payable in lSini if before that time the system of co-education should be adopted. These conditions are such that this SO.000 will not be available for the reason that the college has not the means, even if the Hoard of Trustees were willing to open the doors of the institution to both sexes. So that S4.000 is the sum total of the donation. On its part the college obligated itself to grant to the county two perpetual scholarships. These two scholarships have been issued, and the Hoard of Commissioners have named two young men, Michael Foley, of Coal Creek township, and Walter Fink, of Ripley township, both Democrats, who will hold them until graduation when they will pass to two other young men whom the Commissioners may designate. This will enable two poor young men from this county to be forever in college and obtain an education free from all expense except their bjard and clothes.
In passing we might say that the cjllege endowments and general funds are nearly, if not quite, all loaned in this county. The interest is paid here and spent here. If this were not the case foreign loans would take their place and the interest would be sent abroad. In the construction of all their magnificent buildings the work has been done by our own mechanics and all the money thus expended has gone to our own people, and the worklngmeu of this city appreciate, ^that fact.
The taxable property of Montgomery county in round numbers amounts to 520.000,000. To pay the 84,000 donation will require cents on each gloo, or 20 cents ou each $1,000. In order for the tax to amount to SI a man must have $5,000 worth of property. Isn't this an insignificant trifle for a campaign issue? Especially is this the case when the purpose of the donation and the great good it will accomplish are taken into consideration. The tax payers of this county hand over every year as much as this to the State University from which the direct benefits as compared with a college in their midst are as a drop of water to the waters of Sugar Creek.
As an instance of the liberality of Wabash College in aiding young men from its benevolent fund the case of William F. Hunt may be cited. Th college loaned him the money without interest which was used to defray his expenses during his four years' course. Like an honorable young man out of his first earnings after graduation he paid off these notes. Hut for this fund in all probability he would have been unable to have completed his course in college. Not to have favored the donation by the county would have been an act of ingratitude, but he fell a vie tim in the Democratic convention, and was defeated for Auditor because of opinions honestly entertained.
Another victim of the boycott by the Democratic convention was Hcnton Snyder, of Ripley township, and prominent candidate for Auditor. lit signed the petitipn asking the Commis sioners to make the donation to the college. A warfare was waged against him on these grounds, and delegates on the floor of the convention yelled "Wabash petition" to him in a most insolent manner.
..
In this new battle cry of the campaign, the few Democrats who are using it. would deny the right of petition, aright hitherto held to be sacred. A denial of this right by King lieorge was one of the causes which led to the Ainerican Revolution.
I'oor old Monroe county, with its hills and hollows, and a population of only l-t,ooo and with taxable property amounting to but Ss.ooo.ooo, made a donation of $iiO,i,-.m to the State University. Jtoth Republicans and Democrats united in the advocacy of this liberal appropriation, and no person thought for a moment of making it an issue in a political campaign. And yet we have men in Montgomery county, a county with double the population and taxable property amounting to more than twice that of Monroe, kicking their boots off because of the pitiful appropriation of 84,000 to Wabash College. This is what might be called political capital run to seed
Four thousand dollars given to Wabash College will benefit more people than 314,000 appropriated to build a bridge, yet no person objects to bridge appropriations, and no person has been found who is foolish enough to attempt to make these appropriations a campaign issue. livery improvement made in the county in whatever locality is beneficial to the whole county. livery school house that is built adds to the attractiveness of the county as a place of residence.
YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.
Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter just budding into womanhood. Following is an Instance: "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 years of age, had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and bad lost the entiro use of her right arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music lessons. In fact, w© feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We bad employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. Tuo first of lost August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only threo bottles of Nervine she now weighs IGo poun«ls her nervousness and symptoms of St. Vitus dance aro entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with comfort and ease, the has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the remedy I had no faith in patent medicines, and would not listen tohira, but as a last resort lie'scut us a bottle, we began giving it to Blanche, aud the effect was almost immediate.''—Mrs. R. R. Bullock. Brighton. N. Y.
