S^-bTHING TO BENEFIT CRAWFOEDSVILLE. Unless the people of Crawfordsville and Montgomery county soon do some thing to stir the life-blood of our community, it will be in a state of utter stagnation. The recent census reports are anything but encouraging. We are not gaining in population, and, until new enterprises of some kind are set on foot, we have no use for an in crease of population. People must have something to do, and they must go where they oan And employment. It is no use to deny the fact that we are a slow and unenterprising people, Our men of means are continually hunting places abroad to invest their surplus capital, instead of building up our own community by establishing new industries at home. We must quit this foolishness or beooma mere struggles in the march of events. In the progress of development, our farming population has reached a stage where there must be a change. We can no longer go on raising a little wheat, a little oorn and a few cattle. We must have a great diversity of farming pursuits. The dairy business is far more profitable than any ordinary farming, and there is no point in the whole country more favorably situated for sucii a business than Montgomery county. We are surrounded by such cities as St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and

Louisyille. in every one of which there is a large consumption of dairy procucts. We have an opportunity now to start a factory here, and if we are not entirely destitute of prudent foresight, we shall not let this enterprise slip by us and go elsewhere. With such markets all around us as we have mentioned, the Creamery cannot fail. If one can succeed anywhere, it can here, and this ia an undertaking that should interest tho people of town and country alike. The milk from 2,000 cows daily pouring into our city would give new life to both city and country. The money that has been squandered abroad in mere gambling speculation in the last twenty years, would have a paradise of Montgomery county and one of the most prosperous oitiea in the State, of Crawfordsville. Let us profit by our past experience and go to improving at home. Let our brushgrown woods be turned into blue grass pastures, our swamps into fruitful meadows, and lot the milk wagons come and go on every one of our good free gravel roads. ihe proposed creamery projectors have commenced canvassing all the main roads, in order to see how much niilk will be promised them to start on. They want the milk from our cows and will have machinery to work the milk of 2,000 cows daily, lie ready to seo the canvasser. If you are missed drop card to tho Creamery Company, telling £k6vr k°Y ^uyh ruilk you oan furnish by November.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

PROBABILITIES OF THE FEDEBAL ELE0TI0U BILL.

The Democratic Attack on Commissioner of Pensions Eaum—Senator Galium's Views—Secretary

Blaine and Beci- -. procitv.

[Spoclul Corrcsponden of the Journal.] WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13.—In

talking with a Bepublioan Senator yesterday he said that the Senate will undoubtedly take up the,election bill before an adjournment of this session. The so called opposition to it, he said, is only an opposition to a ohange of the senatorial rules, as the Senate is and always haa been, a very conservative body. It is expected, however, when the Democrats give an exhibition of what they can do in the way of delay ing or preventing the transaction of the public business that those members of the Senate who now aid and abet them in their oourse will see tho error of their ways and come to the aid of the party, senatorial propriety and the country's good. At all events after the display now making the Democrats as obstructionists over the tariff, it is confidently expected that Senators Edmunds, Plumb, Teller and others can be induced to think more highly of the movent to seoure more expeditious business methods in the Senate.

Speaker Reed says that the attaok upon Commissioner of Pensions Baum, is the veriest bosh and that the Democrats will find the investigation of his conduct a boomerang to themselves. It is said, and well said, that Baum was at the head of the internal revenue bureau where hundreds of millions are involved and where a man of dishonest purposes or quiet conscience oould quiokly amass a fortune and yet he oame from the bureau a comparatively poor man. But when he came to the pension office he was easily bribed by a single man, one of the claim agents in this city, and that with a paltry sum of money. The oharge, the Speaker says, is too ridiculous to consider, but if Baum is not investigated the Democrats will howl about oovering up fraud whereas the Bepublican policy is to keep the lights always turned on and good sized electrict lights at that. Another thing too must not be lost sight of. While this examination of the pension office will fail disastrously in showing any individual corruption, it will be a blessed opportunity to evidence the efficienoy of the pension service under Baum'sBepublican management as contrasted with the Democratic control of affairs under General Black and no effort is intended to belittle Black's supervision of allairs, for he managed the affairs of tho pension office as well as the Democratic pension policy would let him. Now, however, the office is run for the soldiers' benefit under a most liberal interprement of pension legislation and there will appear in shining letters as the result of an examination of Baum's management a full account of exactly what the Bepublican administration is doing for the men who saved the Union.

Another of the Bepublioan Senators to whom the Democrats have ascribed views inimical to the proposed election Jaw has come out ilat footed in its support. The Senator is Culium, of Illinois, and he says that he is in favor of a law which will give every man a chance to vote and a surety of having that vote counted after it has been cast. Cullom is the Linooln of the Senate. Indeed, in personal appearance hois not much unlike the martyred President only, perhaps, that he is not so good looking. In mental characterictics too, there is a similarity between the two men, plain^ss of speeoh, unassuming manner, and the constant inclination to levity. This tendency to joking, by the way, has dwarfed the political figure of more than one man. It is doubtful that had the great Lincoln himself remained in Congress for a quarter of a century, he would ever have beoome a legislative leader or been known for more than his grim humor. I do not forget the great forces he developed in the Douglas debate, but the stump and Congress are very dissimilar situations. "Sunset" Cox, one of the brainiest of men, once said to me, with tones of regret,that he would be remembered as the funny man of the house, and he seemed to relegate the distinction to just about the level held by the jester of old in the King's court. Further, he said, that people even smiled when he was most serious, bdeause they expected him to make them laugh. In truth, he did not hunger after fame of this sort, but wished to be remembered for the good he had done, and there was much of it contrary to the unusual Democratic practice.

The correspondents of Democratic newspapers are now cudgeling their brains for some explanation of how the President and his Secretary of State have got together on this reciprocity •business and some little matters of state. To relieve all unwonted anxiety on the subject, therefore, it is a mery to say that the conundrum is easy of solution, as they have never been apact except in the minds of the aforesaid correspondents. The President oan truly say as the Virginia girl did about her lover, "Blaine's mine and I'm his'n.' In fact to broaden the matter, there is not a Bepublioan in or out of Congress who does not now want, and always wanted, to get as muoh in the way of foreign trade tribute us possible for the tariff sacrifices we make. The question is and has been one alone of ways and means. If ?itr. Binii can show that reciprocal relations of value can be established, why Speaker Beed, MoKinley and everybody else is perfectly willing that he Jihall sugar-coat the pill before prescribing it. Blaine does not believe the medicine is good and the Bepublioans have now about concluded to give the subject into his hands for treatment.

ALGEH'S ADDRESS. I

BOSTON, Aug. 14.—The convention of tbe twenty-fourth National encampment, Grand Army of the Republic, camo to'y order in Music Hall at 11 a. m. Wednesday. Prayer was offered by Past Chief Chaplain M. Foster. Commandor-in-Chief Alger then delivered his annual address. Referring tb the condition of tho organization he said that with few exceptions it was excellent, and continued: "There have been some disagreements in the departments of Louisiana and Mississippi drawn upon the color line, the details of which will be found In the records of the Judge Advocate General. It Is the same question that to-day is disturbing many localities in the Southern part of this country and which will require patience and concesslous from a^l parties to settle. It has been my determination to recognize as a comrade the equal rights of every man, no matter what his color or nationality, provided he has the two qualifications, service and on honorable discharge. In this great struggle of life the strong should aid the weak. It ennobles the former and helps to elevate tiu» intter. a

synopsis of the opinions

of the Judge Advocate General, those approved and those disapproved, will' be found in tho report of the Adjutant-General. "The official reports presentod to the twentythird National encampment, dated Juno 30, 1889, gavo the total membership as borne on the rollB at that date, 410,686. On June 30, 1690, tho total membership was 458,230." "The SiAs of Veterans' organization, numbering over 1125.000 members, is growing rapid ly, and Is reported lu excellent condition. "ive Should do every thing in our power to aid them In their work."

With regard to the disability pension bill be said: "By a careful reading of this law and the official explanation given of It, It will be seen that, no matter what a man's financial condition may be, if Ijo be physically disabled from performing manual labor he is entitled to a pension. Let us be just to our law makers, even though they have not given us all wo asked. No country on earth is or ever has been nearly as generous to Its soldiers as ours."

Referring to General Logan'3 monumont he said: "The funds in jhe hands of the trustees, outside of the appropriation made by Congress for the site a-ad pedestal, amount to S12,&11.67. I sincerely trust that the time is not far distant when this tribute to this beloved leader will have been completed. Iowa circle, in the city of Washington, has been selected as the permanent site lor this monument."

Spoaking of the General Sheridan monument, General Algtr stated that under general orders issued from Grand Army headquarters to tho posts throughout the country asking for contributions of from ten to twenty-five cents per member, there has been received to August 2, Inclusive, f447.S*4.

Touching tho General Grant monument ho said: i'An ordinary plain vault on the banks of the Hudson marks the resting place of our great chieftain. This is not creditable either to us or to this Nation. There should be erected at the Capital of this Government, dedicated to the memory of this great man, a memorial building such as will be a credit to the whole people. Not a 6haft not statue but a monumental structure such a-s has not been builded in this or auy other country. I recommend that a committee of live be appointed by this encampment whose duties shall be in accordance with the foregoing and empowered to solicit aid from the general Government and from Individuals."

Goneral Alger then paid a fitting tribute to tho memory of John 11 Hartranft, fifth Commander-in Chief of tho order, and closed with an expression of thanks for the honor conferred by tho Grand Army of the Republic in selecting the speakor to the highest ollice in its gift.

Tho address was received with frequent expressions of approval by tho large body of delegates present. Tho roports of Adjutant-U-e-neral George II. Hopkins, of Detroit, and QuartermasterGoneral Tajlor, of Philadelphia, wore presented.

The report of tho AdjutantrGeneral Bhows that on June 30, 1SIH), there were in tho several departments 7,ITS posts, with a membership of 597,3S5. Tho gains since June 30, 1SS9, wer9 520 posts and 20,217 members. Tho number of deaths during the year was 5,470. The amount expended for relief for the year ending March 81, 1S90, waa 8221,350 number of comrades relieved, 19,470 others relieved, 6,949. In this sum no mention is made of the large amount of private aid expended by thousands of members individually oi*" collectively and of which no record can be kept For the quarter ending June 30, 1S90, 651,590 was expended. The total amount expended by tho Grand Army from July 1, 1871, to July 1, 1890, amounts to tho enormous sum of 81,987,634.

In a tablo showing tho progression made during each quarter in the last thirteen years, the following shows the

?:ain

in six departments which take the eafc Ohio, 2,593 Missouri, 2,028 Massachusetts, 1.043 Tonnessee, 9#3 Indiana, 057 Illinois, 779.

Two new departments have been organized. Tho department of North Dakota, embraced in tho territorial limits of tho State of North Dakota, was organized at Grand Forks, N. D., on April 24, 1S90. The provisional department of Indian Territory and Oklahoma was authorized by spocial order No. 21, dated Juno 23, 1S90, and a department encampment called for the purpose of organizing a permanent department at Guthrie on August 7, 1890.

At tho afternoon session officers were elected, tho principal positions going to the East, in pursuance, as is claimod by some, of a plan td give the encampment to the Wost three successive years—Detroit in 1891, Topeka in 1892 and Chicago in 1S93.

For Cominander-ln-Chlef California presented tho claims ofColonel Smedherg, a retired officer of tho regular army, who lost a leg at the Wilderness.

Connecticut nominated Colonel Wheolock G. Veazey. ot Vermont, and Maine seconded the nomination. At tho mention of Colonel Veazey's name there was great oiitliusiasm.

Indlana gave its support to General Alvin P. Ilovcy, and Ohio, with a department of 40,000 members, named ^General Llovey as its choice. Montana

When New York was reached Warner Miller arose and named Colonel Veazey as tho comrade who would be supported by the entire delegation of Now York.

Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Texas in quick succession named Colonel Veazey, and for Vermont ex-Governor and Comrade Pingree eulogized tho services of Colonel Veazey, and said that Vermont sent into tho field 34,000 of her sons, or more than one in ton of her entire population.

As soon as tho roll-call ended Colonel Smedberg ascended the platform and gracefully withdrew his name. Goneral llovey pursued a similar course. This action was greotod with great applause, and by unanimous vote Colonel Veazey was elected as Commandor-in-Chief.

Comrados Smedburg, llovey and Miller wore appointed a committee to escort Colonel Veazey to tho platform, and when ho appoarod there was a good doal of enthusiasm. Colonel Veazey accepted tho honor in a brief speech.

For Senior Vice-Commander Richard F. Tobin, of Massachusetts, was chosen by acclamation. George P. Creamer, of Maryland, was elected Junior Vico-Com-mander. [Colonel Wheelock O. Veazey, one of the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners, is a native of New Hampshire and has just passed his 50th year. He was graduated from Dartmouth College with honors and is one of the present board of trustees. He was also graduated from the Albany Law School, and, taking up his residence at Rutland Vt., was admitted to the bar of Vermont in lf-'OO. Upon the breaking out of the war he enlisted as a private and in 1S62 became Colonel of the Sixteenth Vermont Regiment. He served with great distinction throughout the war and won credit for his gallant lighting on many fields. Upon tho muster out of his regiment Judge Veazej returned to the practice of his profession, being associated in business for awhile with Mr. Proctor, now Secretary of War. He was for ten years Judge of the Supreme Court of Vermont and resigned that position when appointed un Inter-State Commerce Commissioner. He has been a member Of the Grand Army for many years.]

The Ball corset has soft eyelets. Soft eyelets are loops of corset lace stitched into the corset softer, smoother, pleasanter, neater, more womanlike than metal.

The Ball is the easiest ever worn by woman.- The ease is due to covered coils of finewire spring? in the sides. These springs hug the figure gently, and yield with every little strain.

The Ball is boned" with Kabo that never breaks or kinks or rolls up or, shifts from its place. /You can wear a Ball corset two or three* weeks and, if you don't like it, return it to where you got it and get your money back. The manufacturer pays the merchant to dc that, sss
