Decatur Democrat, Volume 26, Number 14, Decatur, Adams County, 7 July 1882 — Page 2

THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY A. J. HILL. Friday, July 7, 1882, Republican office holders are invited to contribute to the campaign fund. George Win. Curtis says it is not “according to the statutes.’ That the demand is made in away that leaves them no choice. They must come down or make place for an official who will. Vote for Garfield and protection if you wish to see American industry thrive, was the cry two years ago this fall. But it failed to keep the wheels of factories moving or our labor employed. Labor strikes on every hand show something wrong somewhere. There may be a little too much legis lation for capital and not enough for labor. Protection that is one sided is just as good as no protection. The semi-anual gathering of the democratic editors of Indiana at Indianapolis last week, was a large and pleasant gathering. It was our misfortune not to be present. There was an unusual full delegation present. The talks, the speeches, the letters of regret and the banquet as reported in the Sentinel and coming second hand was a feast. Extracts from the speeches and letters deserve a place and should occupy one in our columns, but like a thousand other things, lack of spaee crowds them out. The most magnificent fizzle of the age is the prosecution of the star route thieves. They were charged upon by Republican journals with a blaze of trumpets. It was the crime of the age, stealing of vast proportions. The amount saved by the government by the discovery was so great that Republicans were sure that there was capital enough in this One thing to return the party to power in the coming election and keep it there for a decade. The trials are a farce, intended to let every guilty man of them escape. The men who steal . and divide the stealings with the par- , ty will neve' be punished. The Journal, in its issue of June 23, 1 addressed an open letter to the editor of The Democrat, which was doubt- , less inspired by the ladies of the W ; C T. U. of this place, demanding our 1 position upon the question of subinis- 1 sion of the proposed prohibitory , amendments to the Constitution, because of our private temperance views 1 and because of having control of the official paper of the county. Whatever our private views upon the prohibitory amendments are or may be is one thing, and our control of the Democratic paper of this county may or may not be another. If The Democrat was a temperance organ, published in the interest of temperance exclusively, the people might well demand of us a definition of our principles upon the questien. If the Journal had been outspoken upon the question, there might be some propriety in addressing these questions directly to us. Sueh not being the case, the Journal has no right to make such demands upon us, and having made them our right to withhold or give the information is undoubted.

The prohibitionists declared, preliminary to the opening of the cam paign, that they did not wish to make the question a political issue, except that they would not support the candidates of either party for either branch of the General Assembly, unless they would pledge themselves to vote for the question to be submitted to the pecple on the assembling of the next legislature. If the Republican party wish any further issues upon the question, they are at liberty to make them. So, also, with the Democratic party. Neither party has yet officially indicated how they will meet the question in case it effects the candidates they nominate in the way indicated. Consequently, what The Democrat may or may not say, would not be authority of the position of the Democratic party upon the question We notice that the proprietors of the Journal, both privately, are in favor of submitting the temperance question to the people, thereby indicating to the temperance people, that the Republican party are in favor of prohibition. Both of the proprietors, however, are understood to be opposed to prohibition, and will vote against it should the proposition be submitted. Some Democrats have indicated their hostility to prohibition and desire it to be made an issue in electing members of the General Assembly. As a matter of principle, of honesty, candor and square, straight forward purpose, commend us to the latter. In the one case, there is double dealing; in the other none. Both reach the same result. The one by l the straight road; the other after devious windings.

Plunder. [New York Sun.] Mr. Holman measured the length and breath and thickness of the river and harbor bill when he said in the 1 House: I protest against squandering public i money on objects manifestly of no public interest, and which do not promote any 1 general commerce, but are intended and : designed at the best to secure the expend- . iture of public money in given neighbor ' hoods al the expense of the other sections > of the other country. This is away of saying in Parliamentary language that the river and harbor bill is a robber scheme in which every Representative ivho sells his consent to the grand steal for the sake of a petty steal for the benefit of his own district is an accomplice. And that is the plain unparliamentary truth. Knowing exactly what they were about, and with full knowledge that the country knew the rascality of the business, the House passed this plunder bill of nearly $20,000,000 on Saturday, with only forty-seven dissenting votes. Twenty-six Republicans, or about one in six of the majority, had the courage to vote against the steal. Twentyone Democrats, or about- one in six of the minority, had the honesty to vote against it. "Plunder knows no party lines. And yet a great part of the items of this bill are unconstitutional- as clearly unconstitutional as would be a vote of money by Congress for the improvement of One Hundred and Twentyfifth street in Harlem, or for raking the dead leaves in autumn off of the paths of Boston Common. The New Light of Asia. ‘■The Iliad of India,” some call it, and others liken it unto Milton s "Par adise Lost.” Whatever terms may be used to describe It, Edwin Arnold s re- , markable poem, ‘'The Light of Asia, has certainly won a place among the classics in literature, and the best edition of it will be wanted in every home library. Related to the religion of In- ■ dia it is not unlike Milton's immortal poem as related to the Chaistian religion. The new edititon just issued by the Useful Knowledge Publishing Company, New York, is perhaps the most beautiful, typographically, which has ever appeared, and is of course far lower in price than any other edition ] pubH.'ihvJ, wvLiaL will anmpaTe With. it. ; being only 20 cts. for the Utility bind- , ing, 20 cts. for the cloth, and 40 cts. for the half Russia, or for the extra , cloth gilt edges. This edition is es- ’ pecially valuable, and for that reason ] will displace every other, and cause , those who are already supplied with other editions to put them aside and take this, because of the sketches of the life of Edwin Arnold, the author, and of Buddha, the subject, and the numerous illustrative notes explaining the many references to person s, places, customs, etc., which arc necessarily enigmatical to any one not deeply versed in the history, religion, and literature of India This valuable edition is from the pen of Mrs. I. L. Hauser, a most competent writer, who i was for many years a resident of India, and is known as the author of -The Orient and its People.” Enterprising booksellers will supply this edition, . and canvassers are wanted everywhere, I to whom very unusual terms and fa- i cilities are offered by the publishers.

Golden Pocklington Grape. For the benefit of our patrons w o may contemplate planting grape vines during the coming season, we copy the following f-om Colman s Hural World, of St. Louis, Mo., in relation to this famous white grape, which is of special interest, coming, as it does, from the originator of the • Martha" grape : Friend Colman: —We have heard so much about the two New White Grapes of the North, Niagara and Pocklington, that our curiosity was greatly aroused. The latter we have growing, but the former it seems was not to be had for love or money. Now, however, since reading Campbell’s comparison made at Boston, we feel as well without the Niagara. He says : ‘•Bunches larger than the illustrations, and weighing more than a pound. Much the largest and most attractive white grape of native origin yet introduced, throwing the Niagara, which were exhibited beside it, entirely in the shade.” Last Friday I received from Rochester, a small basket of Pocklington in most excellent condition, and noth ing for a long time afforded us more pleasure. Although the fruit was taken from vines planted only twenty-I nine months ago, and the vines left to ■ overbear, for the purpose of ascertain- | ing what they could do, some of the bunches weighed over half a pound, and soma of the berries measured almost one inch in diameter. In quality, it is, to my taste, just about good enough. It is somewhat like the Martha, but lass foxy and better. We learn that the originator sent four shoots to an exhibition, with three bunches on each, and the twelve bunches weighed eleven pounds. This has | probably never been done before by an i American grape. A peculiarity about j it is that many of the smaller berries have but a single seed, while the aver age is but two, the largest usually three, and in one I found four. The seeds are small for so large a grape. Here is nearly all rich, sweet, buttery matter, instead of a good part of the berry being composed of seed. If my judgement is correct, fourteen pounds of those grapes will make a gal'on of wine, and it will make good wine without doubt. It will, however, be some years before much wine will be made of it, for it will be in too great demand for the table. I have had the fruit since last Friday, (Oct. 28th,) and this evening a bunch of it is fresh and sound. Thus, after traveling a thousand miles by express, tells what its keeping qualities SAMUEL MILLER. Bluffton, Mo., Nov. 2nd, 1881. Wm. McCartney, 88 Loyd Street, Buffalo, N. Y. fell and sprained I his ankle. His employer, H. Anderi son, 94 Main Street, procured some | Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, and he says that a few applications enabled him to go tc work as usual.

Horse Sense. "Yesterday a poor old horse whose master had neglected him, and who was suffering from a lame joint, hob-, bled into King & Brothers grocery store, in Rome, Ga., and discovering he was in the wrong pew, as quick as his feble strength would carry him, went into the next dcor, Dabney & Fenner's drug store, and showed by his actions and quiet waiting that he wanted something for his lame leg. Dr. Fenner, although taken somewhat by surprise, quickly saw the raised fore leg, and going to the gentle beast discovered his ailment, and applied to it suitable remidies. The horse nodded his head as a token of thankfulness and quietly went on his way.

A Forlorn Hope.—Otto J. Doesburg, proprietor Holland City News, Mich., writes: ‘‘A bad cold settled on my side and back, kidney trouble, liver and rheumatism combined; I sufterribly, though was obliged to move about and to attend to btrsiness.

This machine is so made as to be easily attached to any ordinary Grind Stone, making it so easy to grind a mower knife that a child can do it alone It is endjrsed by the leading manufacturers of Mowers and Reapers in the United States. It sells at sight and gives good satisfaction. Examine and test it for yourself and you can not help seeing that it is worthy of a place with other implements made to help the farmer through the busy harvest season This is the most practical machine manu factored. The Knives are sharpened tn one-third the time than in any other way. Every Knife is ground alike and to any desired bevel. It saves the material of your | knife, the wear of your machine, the draft of your tea*n, and an exti’a hand to turn or bold when you grind. Thus you see it actually saves its cost many times over. The eagerness of the farmers to purchase it i last year, the satisfaction it gave and their willingness to recommend it to others, gives us assurance of a good harvest of ; jales this year. Every farmer needs a ■ good Grind Stone permanently hung ready ' for all practically purposes. Now is your i time to get it. Two inches thick is best ' for all purposes. It may be 2| or 2 j inches.
