SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1893
"WHEN Rieley arrives in Copenhagen there'll be something rotten in Denmark sure.
FRANK BUHKE has been safely installed into his office BB United States District Attorney and now begins to talk back.
A WASHINGTON dispatch to the Indianapolis Sentinel says that Congressman Brookshire, who has been down with the grip, is now able to prepare victims for the Maxwell axe.
A DEMOCRATIC postmaster has been appointed down at New Washington, Clark county, who served two years in the penitentiary for stealing sheep. Make way for the Reformers.
YES, nepotism must go. Fourteen Democratic Senator's sons and one Populist Senator's daughter have been appointed committee clerks within the last three weeks. This takes in Senator Yoorhees, the great Reformer. Nepotsra is marching on.
GEN. KIRBY SMITH, the famous Confederate General, is dead. There are a number of Union soldiers still living who would have been glnd about thirty years ago to have heard of his death, but time has softened the asperities of war times, and he goes mourned by, all.
"WE bring our years to an end as a tale that is told,'' was the scriptural extract printed at the head of the editorial page of the New York Mail and E,vpress on Saturday, the same day that the paper announced the death of its distinguished editor, Elliott Fitch Shepard.
THE report of the recent Congressional investigation of Superintendent Porter's administration of the Census Office has just been printed, and not only declares the charges made by the Democratic press unsustained, but endorses Mr. Porter's acts in every particular. And it was a Democratic committee that made the investigation.
SPEAKING of the suggestion that Harrison will be the Republican nominee in 1896 the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says a great many things can happen in the next three years, and men not now especially prominent may come to the front in that time, but at present the ex-President will have to be put near the head of the list of possibilities.
THE United States Supreme Court this week rendered a decision which, it iB claimed, destroys Edison's quadruplex telegraph patents and also three michrophone patents. If this is true the Bell Telephone Company will after January next be left with no patent protection except the Berliner device, which has several competitors. What the public is interested in is cheaper telephone service.
THE county commissioners of Howard county have issued an order directing the railroad companies whose lines cross that county to station flagmen at all crossings throughout the county where switching or shifting cars is required to be done. This order is designed to prevent accidents. As it will necessitate the employing of flagmen at all sidings in the county where a wagon road crosses them, at least where cars are being shifted, the outcome will bo watched with interest all over the State.
THE demand fur offices at Washington is eo great that the Democrats have begun "to eat each other up." President Cleveland and his Cabinet officers have given every assurance to the "spoilsmen and politicians" that the changes in the offices shall be swift and complete. The programme is to turn the rascals ont." The clamor about civil service reform is only to detract public attention from the slaughter of Republican office holders. The most venomous among the Cabinet officers in this respect is that great and good man, Walter Quarrelsome Gresham.
THE late Elliott F. Shepuru was noted for his observance of Sunday and would not travel between midnight of Saturday night until midnight of Sunday. He had been far to the Northwest prior to the National convention at Mitneapolis last year, and missed connection. To wait for the regular train meant to make part of the journey un jay. He WOB anxious to arrive before then, and rather than break the Sebbath he hired a special train at an expenfe of $500, and came into the convention city" a few minutes before 12 o'clock Saturday night.
TELL TALE FIGURES."
The actual condition of the United States Treasury March 4th, 1892, shows deficit of $18,266,285. March 4th, 1889, the Republican party came into power, the actual surplus was $48,096,158. These are tell-tale figures and they don't lie.—Frankfort Crescent.
Figures don't lie only when thev are manipulated by the hands of an expert. The above extract BIIOWG how little the editor of the Crescent knows of the condition of the treasury either at the beginning or the close of the Harrison Administration. What are the facts? The surplus in the treasury on March 4, 1889, at the beginning of President Harrison's Administration, was 8183,287,190. This surplus no longer exists for several good reasons. First, because payments of the public debt have aggregated since March 4, 1889, up to March 4, 1893, $296,000,000, which reduces the annual interest charge over .$12,000,000. Secondly, because the pensions paid during the Harrison Administration aggregated $487,000,000, which is $170,000,000 more than was paid for pensions during the Cleveland
Administration. Thirdly, because under the new tariff law up to December last, as stated by President Harrison in his last annual message, about $93,000,000 of revenue, which would have been collected upon imported sugars if sugar had not been made free, has gone into the pockets of the people instead of into the treasury. Fourthly, tlie direct tax refunded to the States of the Union by the Harrison Administration distributed $14,0110,000 from the surplus in the treasury to the States, anu which, by the way, replenished the Democratic deficit of the Indiana treasury about $9(59,000. These are the facts and figures that no one will undertake to contradict. Will anyone say that the reduction in the public debt, with consequent large decrease in the annual interest charges, was a squandering of the surplus? That the making of sugar tree, with a large reduction in price and consequent decrease ot custom receipts, was a squandering of the surplus? That the payment of pensions to the maimed and disabled veterans was a squandering of the surplus? That the return to the States of taxes levied upon them in time of war was a squandering of the surplus? No, the surplus has not been squandered. It has been utilized for the best interests of the country. It has gone to pay obligations, as a prudent business man would pay his bills out of his surplus, rather than permit his creditors go unpaid. All this talk about squandering the surplus is not only dishonest but it is arrant hypocrisy.
SOME NEW SENATORS.
A worse thing about Roach than the record he made in Washington as a bank cashier, says the St. Louis Globe correspondent from the Capital, is the immediate chain of circumstances by which he finds himself in the Senate. There is something wrong about the election of a Democrat to the Senate by a Legislature which has a Republican majority of a dozen or more votes. Roach's bank afair concerns him individually. His election by Republicans is a stain on a whole State—that is, if there is such a thing as political principle. North Dakota Republicans put selfish ends above party. Montana Democrats did the same thing. Populist Burgard's boast of how he made John Martin Senator from Kansas is part of the same general tendency which has introduced such extraordinary elements into the Senate.
A Democratic Senator from a State where the Republicans are in the majority!
A Republican Senator from a State where the Republicans are in the minority
A Democratic Senator whose seat was given him by a bogus Legislature after a Populist bad stuffed a caucus ballot box!
A Republican Senator by appointment from a State where rival factions of the same party sacrificed the election sooner than yield or compromise!
A Senator who has been Republican, Democrat and Populist by such rapid transition that even the locality of his seat in the Chamber hardly designates his present status!
A Democratic Senator whose election is denounced by his own party from one end of his Slate to the other as the work of "the lumber ring!"
A Democratic Senator who was openpronounced unfit, and against whoso election a protest was publicly made by the President elect!
To the Senate reconstructed with the aid of such new elements aud of such unprecedented methods the President must look for co-operation in his selfconsecration to reform.
THE ax of Maxwell, Cleyeland's headsman, swings high these days and the heads of third and fourth class postmastors are rapidly falling with a dull, sickening thud.
OFFICE seekers from the Ninth District will please send their applications to James Murdock whose poBtoffice ad-
dress is Lafayettee. Editor Brown, the civil service reformer of the Frankfort Crescent, had his shovel in for thic position but he was turned down by Mnrdock.
THE attack on the pension law and list is growing in Democratic papers. Here is the cruel way the ex-Confederate editor of the St. Louis Republic talus of the veterans:
The promise of relief through the death of the pensioners is a fallacious one. They have no intention of dying. When everyone else now alive is dead there will still be pensions to pay on account of the civil war. There is no reasonable doubt of this. Nothing promotes health and longevity like a pension.
ALTJ is not lovely in the Democratic camp. This from the Frankfort Crescent shows that there is a fly in the Democratic ointment:
If Mr. Cleveland will assign the whole editorial and corresponding force of the Sentinel as consuls to Timbuctoo, and then lose their address, he will confer a lasting favor on the Democratic party of Indiana.
Lay on McDuff. Let the fight go on.
Death of Thos, Ward.
Thos. Ward, one of the oldest residents of this county and among the earliest of its pioneers, died last Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at his farm, 3 miles east of Linden. He was born in Leicestershire, England, June 24, 1803, and in 1829, together with his wife who died in 1887, set sail for the new world. For a short time they liv-ed in New York, but becoming dissatisfied concluded to seek a new home on the frontier in the then new State Indiana. They made the journey through the unbroken forests with great hard ships and danger and finally purchased a small farm one mile west of Linden in Coal Creek township. At once they took an active part in the improvement of the new country. Mr. Ward was one of the first men to introduce tile drainage and make it a success. He was temperate in body and by careful business methods accumulated a large amount of property consisting mostly of real estate in Madison and Coal Creek townships. Mr. Ward was bap tised in the Episcopal church of Eng land and still held to that faith. He had two childten, one a son Thomas who died in 1891 and a daughter, Mrs. Clint Wilkins, still living. The funeral occurred yesterday at 1 o'clock. Interment at New Richmond.
Two "Weddings at Kirkpatrick. Two preachers came to Kirkpatrick last Sunday, each without knowizjg the other was coming. Rev. E. T. Spohn came from the south and Rev. E. R. Johnson from the north. Both came to perform a wedding ceremony. Mr. Johnson at half past six united together the hearts and fortunns of Perry Rice and Anna Peak, while an hour later Mr. Spohn did the same for John W. Brush and May Homey. There was much joy in Kirkpatrick that evening. Our congratulations to both couples.
Disaster at Waynetown.
All the eligible young men of Waynetown clubed together Wednesing and gave the beautiful young ladies of the place a taffy pulling at the town hall. It was a gorgeous affair and six gallons of syrup were boiled down to wax. After it had been pulled however, it was ascertained that the wax had been made of burnt syrup and lamentations filled the air. It is charged that the committee purchaeed the burnt wax because it was cheaper and the memberF are threatened with social ostracism. The affair has set the whole town by the ears and great excitement prevails.
