Those Republicans who oontin- i ne to place Wisconsin in the list i of sure Republican states are no t farther along in the work of reading t election returns than 1884. They must keep up with the procession if i they want to be in it. t United States Senator Preston € B. Plumb, of Kansas died at Wash- c t ington D. C. Monday. His death was quite sudden, Senator Ingall’s I will probably be selected by the Governor of Kansas to fill his place, J t or until the legislature meets to select one! .ii. ■ i Me. McKinley says that “this is t the best country in the world and 1 it is our duty to keep it so.” And his idea of keeping it so is to tax the i necessaries of the people $220,000 a 1 fear for the benefit of monopolists ‘ who contribute from their bounties j • to swell Republican campaign 1 funds. ‘ i —- j It does not suit the Republicans ( to learn that the Democrats in Con- , gross will attack the tariff law in ( spots. The most offensive parts of the schedule will be amended by the house, and if the Republicans . do not like it their Senate must as- ( sume the responsibility of defeat- ■ ing the will of the people at the ; ballot box. Tub Republicans of the Senate will hardly dare object to the; seating of David B. Hill, as Such revolutionary proceedings would so completely unite the Democrats of New York that the electoral vote of the state would be cast (or any candidate for president whom the Democrats might nominate. The people of the United States have already sternly rebuked the high-handed proceedings of the Republican party and are in good mood to kick the party out of existence next year. The first duty of the State Democracy next year will be to stand firmly by Indiana’s favored son, Isaac P. Gray for the Presidential nomination. He is pre-eminently Indiana’s logical candidate for the place, and anything less than an enthusiastic and unanimous leadership and indorsement of his candidacy will be suicidal to the party in the next election and therefore traitorious to the cause in the country at large. There may be other candidates in the race of equal merit and strength to Governor Gray, but none can be so important to the welfare of the Indiana Democracy as he, and for that reason the shoulder of every Hoosier Democrat should push the Gray boom until a meritorious Indiana Democrat is ushered into cbair -

77Z& RICH AND THE PO OR, What worshipers we are at the shrina of Mammon to be sure. The least bit of news aboqt man, woman or child must be supplemented with information as to their status regarding wealth or poverty or a midway condiion. An exchange contains annoucement of a lost child, which conrludes by saying, “from the description (of bis clothing) he is the child -of wealthy parents—somebody’s darling.” The is added, not only to help identify, but to give the recorded event a sharper interest and to help the readers to determine a proper degree of sympathy. Some poor workwoman’s baby boy, with patched clothes and soiled hat—that wouldn’t matter so much; poor people expect sorrow and tribulation. But the daintily clothed child of the rich—if this be understood—the police and the general reader will give attention. This is the trend of thought in such mention. The betrothal announcement, the marriage notice, the funeral notice, the account of accident, or whatever calls the name into print, the owner thereof must be classified as to worldly possessions. A social party is written up with the aggregate wealth of the guests estimated. Approximate prices are put upon the diamonds worn by the ladies and the bank account, bonds and real estate of the gentlemen is listed to help the reader’s imagination hold revel The New York papers have flaming columns of announcement to the effect that on Christmas day “the children of the Rich will make glad the hearts of the children of. the Poor” with “gingerbread, big apples and sugar candy” plucked from “a Christmas tree that will spread its branches all over Madison Square garden.” One journal puts the inscription "Children of the Rich to the Children of the Poor,” in a little bordered card to make the glory of it more striking. But list further to the plan;. The children of the Rich have such accumulations of toys and handsome things they can give these away to the Poor to make room for the influx of new things. The rich will pay twenty dollars for a seat in the balconies above the crowds of the Poor, that they may look down on the enjoyment of the creatures in the lower world and see their bewilder ment at being showered with elegant gingerbread loaves and the cast-away toys of their household pets. Here is a paragraph from a paper which goes into transports of delight of the prospect: “Thlalc of the children ot the tich looking down from the upper tier* and gallery at the children of the very poor that the/ and thieir parent* have triid to make happy.” Think of sorting out God’s creatures in this wise! It’s enough to make angels weep over latter day Christianity, and in the land that arrogates to itself a wisdom and charity of finer quality than thrives elsewhere in the universe. Heaven for give us! we worship gold first and God with what ardor we have left. If Christ himself were on earth he woftld be below with the gingerbread babies, gazed down upon with curiosity by the be-diaraond-ed ladies in their twenty dollar boxes! “A grand moral spectacle” at fancy prices, a Christmas “Show” , of human animals, such as some of the Children of the Rich never saw before. Was ever more contemptible exhibition of the cast spirit? It i re a Mew York idea; let New' York .have tbe glory—and Ue disgrace

Joint Institute Enrollment. The Joint Teacher’s Institute which convened st Decatur. Saturday, December 19th, was one of the best single day’s session ever held In Adams county. Ten school trustees were in attendance, others we are informed were detained at home on account of sickness. The entire enrollment of teachers present was 114, but two school corporations, Geneva and Jefferson township, had no representatives in the institute. The following shows the percent of representative of trustees and teachers from each school cor (rations: ' « IM : SCHOOL CORPORATIONS.

A Letter From Ella bchenk. LivanrooL, Kxo., Oct. 8, Uli. lam come again, and now I don’t, know If thia letter will bo tlutabed, not for a long time were I to tell you all I should take to. Last ovtoniug we went to Pembroke. Chapel to bear a Liverpool *en*atiun, a young Baptist minister, whoso name is Ached. Ho is splendidly educated and tbe people are willing to be carried away by bls eloquence. He talked of "that wicked man” who married his father’s wife, pictured the romance that might be connected with the sin. It wad very taking but not muoh gospel. Hut it is not us Pembroke Chapel or iu preacher that 1 would tell you. About forty miles southeast of here Is the olty of Uavstor, situated upon tho river Deo. It is a beuutit ul pace, lying as it does iu sight ortho biitaut Wuuf, bordered by the romantic r»vor. This was wy first sight us and ride in an English railroad. They seem to be playiug at railroading hero. Huett littio engines and passenger coaches, divided into compartments with two long seats tho width of tho oar, two doors opening outward, two little shelves for parcels, two lutle windows and that until. I speak now of third class cars, but they tire alt a.iko iu arrangements. The eonductor comes 10 the door and you give your ticket, that’s al! you see of uuy one of whom you could ask u question. The wheels look more like those of a wheelbarrow than of our car*. The box cars will hold perhaps one-half us much us ours, but I doubt it. There are uo oenvenienoes free. You hardly know if you may sit or stuud without some one asking for a "tupens, hav-penny. It is worse thun an American church *oola). Well, wo arrived to Cheater at about ten o'clock. The town was originally built by the Bomans way book in about 400. There is a Homan wall about tbe old part of the city perhaps 0 feet in width where it is narrowest and from 0 to 21 or 80 feet in bighL We walked about the city on this wall where the old Homan solders bad kept guard *o many years ago over tho city defending it from tho Pito* and Soot*. We went to the top of the old water tower and into tbe dungeon where Lord Derby and hi* two daughter* were confined for three mouth* and the father bo-boad-od afterward. We went into the Cathedral. U, If 1 could only let you see into those massive galleries. Tbe Cathedral was built by the Normans, originally way back iu tbe 14th century. It has been added to several time*, but the last addition was in the 16th century. The carving here is said to bo among tbe flnest in the world. It is evident that when such work was done time was not money. Thero is an alter in it made from the cedar of Lebanon, the oak of Basham and the Olive from the Mount of Olive. Upon one alter is a piece of topostry the finest iu all Englaod. But wore I to go on all ulght I should not be able to tell you all. Tho city of Chester is owned chiefly by the Duke of West Minster, whoso country seat lies about five mile* from the towu. I forgot to tell you that when wo wore In tbe Cathedral we found one of our friend* who hud come on tbe City of Chicago. It was quite pleasant to have him with us. Ho got a carriage for us and wo drove out to Eaton Hal), the summer home of tbe Duke of West Minster In the park were perhaps 100 deers standing, lying, walking or running; and, now thia 1* no fairy tale, but there were numerous black crows perched upon the horn* or back of some of those deer. We wont through the ground* proper. Well, you will hardly credit what I tell you, but in the fruit garden 1 saw pears, apples, quince* and peaches growing upon trellis just a* grape* grow upon our arbors, only just upon the side of tbe arbor, not overhead. The grapes grow in hot house* and such clusters, one would bo all jou could put nicely in either of our frult;dlshe*. X can not tell you bow beautiful were tho flower*, Bose* of all colon were still blooming out of door*. In the conservatory were exoatics of every dime, an artifleal pond with bank of ferns higher than my head, was made for waterlilies. I cannot write any more now, but perhaps sometime I may tell you of it. Lot mo add—all this beauty 1* upon the bank* of tho river Dee. . , 1 have told you of our traveling friend, Mr. McFarland. He arrived In Liverpool thia morning from London. He take* passage for ludta to-morrow. It was quite a surprise to meet him again, it really seemed like one (of the family, 8. 8.
