' THE I OCR? BY H. RAY WILLIA MS. ® r !■ . ■■ ; tßsue- $1.50 a Ysar in Advance. D SCAT UR, INDIANA, I BCBOday, Jan. 13, 1881. —Spring candidates will bo reporting ere long. —lt is now unlawful to run a pool room in Ohio. —At this writing, Thursday morning, there are indications of a general thaw and break-up. —They are having good sleighing in Augusta, Ga., the first of the kind for twenty-five year.--. —Senator Logan has introduced a ’ bill to place General Grant on the retired list of the army. —Marshal Rhodes is now ready to receive corporation taxes. He can be found at the trustees’ room above the fancy store. —John Sherman will go to the United States Senate from Ohio, while Benjamin Harrison will succeed Senator McDonald of this State. > at work. Many are curious to know just what they will do with the temperance question. It is quite probable that something will be done, as several bills bearing on th# question will be introduced.

—A private communication from Indianapolis states that the lower house of the general assembly was for a short time composed of one hundred and one members, one more than the constitution provides for. The extra member, one llaslewood, from Lake county, was finally retired and the house proceeded to business with its constitutional membership. —The difficulties between renters and landlords in Ireland are still of a serious nature. The re-.lera are unusually orderly and peac •able, but it is j evident that they mean to agitate their question uutil justice is done them. Already many influential citizens of England have acknowledged the conI* stitutional rights of the renters and will assist them in their lawful endeavors to secure them.

—Governor Porter was inaugurated | las’, idouday. His inaugural address is regarded as extremely partisan. The Indianapolis correspondent of the Chicago Tiaut sends the following to his paper: The comments upon the message tonight are expressed in the mast rigor ous E 'dish by both parties, both republicans and .democrats being very free in voicing disapproval. It was hastily prepared, to be sure, the incidents of a wedding having absorbed some valuable time, but the verdict of all who listened patiently—and an address of like character seldom held a more sii'.cntivo audience—was that i was utterly unworthy the occasion. It is regarded only as the feeble effort of a demagogue. Indians has not been under Republican control for eight years, and he would impress upon the people the idea that its present prosperity is due solely to republican domination. He attempted to pay a tribute to the memory of Governor Wil-

liams, but spoiled it ail by claiming that he was narrow-miaded, and then suggested that, after all, he was not liable to be eternally damned because he was in favor of the constitutional j auiendwents. Such are the remarks of the republicans, and they became particularly caustic when they reviewed his allusion to that long buried garment, the bloody shirt. Painful as was the dui v, Governor Pouter concluded) it was necessary to flap the raiment, and he dapped. He had learned that the corner stone of the new State House, a structure nearly ten feet high already, and with the contractors ask- i ing for more, bud been laid, and that no record of the part Indiana had taken in the war, could be found therein. With trembling veice he demanded that the stuffing should be torn out, and the great wrong rectified. ‘Why,' i remarked a General who holds a prominent position to a 77’’“ « man when did Porter get so bloodthirsty '! Nearly twenty years ago when I went out

ei captain, he was in his prime, and might have gone *i a Calebs at least. He stayed*! home and seems to be getting mad a little late in the day. ! Still, if ha thinks it necessary that th; people who will tear that State House down some 6,000 years from no* should become acquainted with the, part Indiana took in tkc late war, I am in favor of placing something in , that stone that will post them, but search is they might, and even as good as my memory is to-day,' said he. “1 fear that the part Pouter took will not he on record-

If Isl lift— HIM HI I'WWhM itigaa growth and power of the Federal pat- ’ ronageS; in connection with ‘’corporations, monopolists, and wealthy men," : is worthy of Franklin himself, and is ■ especially startling as the observation of one of the most sagacious and most conservative of democratic politicians. Mr. Wallete depicts the tremendous progress of centralisation, aided by ’ patronage and money, in the hands of office-holders and protected business interests, constituting a favored class ; I and he insists upon an immediate return to the ancient theories, and the intelligent rule of the masses. It sounds a little strange to hear a Penni , . , ... sylvania Senator demanding a revision of the tariff for the benefit of the put- ; lie ; and yet that is precisely what Mr. 1 Wallace means, when he declares for a thoroagh inquiry into, the taxation for revenue and its readjustment upon a ‘ basis just to every interest and to ali ; the people. Senator Wallace does .not believe . , the democratic party can die while it , stands for the rights of the people as it i , is bound to do by the very law of its existence. "The hour for its triumph.’' i he conclude-, "will have come when it : ' boldly asserts its true theories and ig- I 5 nores ths blandishments of money, mo- , ' nopoly and corrupt power. lie, whose i interests, judgement or teachings are . . . a.li.-iKJutji tl»*A »s».L» '" t * J f join its enemies ; but in hisroem it will I . i recruit scores of thosa in whose j interests it strikes, or who detest I strong government.

Geneva Gleaning*. BY RUS-TI-CtTS. Is Muncie dead ? ' J. D. Hale is in the mill business. We have a great deal of sickness in this locality. ■ G. H. Kelley and lady took in Chatanooga lust Thursday. Our streets have been crowded with team- since th> good sleighing. Robert Mauley, of Briant, has moved i in with his mother at this place.

Mrs. Jonathan Herring and Mrs. B. F. Williams of Ceylon, died on the 9th in st. of lung fever.

Smith Peterson and Tharp locked horns again last Friday. Smith wasu t I satisfied with the mules.

At this I writing she has not tasted food of any kind for 60 houis. When Watson gets into his new building it will leave a vacant business house in Ceylon. Wonder if Henry ; Stacy would not like to try it again. Uncle Johnny Hotsenpiller received a letter from friends in Virginia stating that they have had cslder weather
