FRIDAY* FEBRUARY 13, 1880,

‘‘Charles (Price) is an ambicious young man.” —Republican scalp-tak-er. From ano including the 4th inst - , to this date, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Snylcr, of this county, have lost 4 defldren by death. Diphtheria. |By request, Mr. Jos. D. Cowdin has furaishcd for publication his remarks at the Blue Ribbon meeting. They appear in another column. Persons in want of standard fruit and ornamental trees, shrubbery, etc. will do best by purchasing at the Rensselaer Nursery. — Mr. andJMrs. Wm. Olilt, of Remington, have issued invitations for the wedding of their daughter Eva and Mr. J. C. Morgan, of Rensselaer, to take placo at the Remington M. E. Church next Sunday. The appointment of Jos. D, Cowdin as elork at the Northern Prison is one of the best yet made. The directors have secured the services of a gentleman fullv competent for the position, and Jasper county loses one of hci be3t citizens and officials.

And they do say that Gen. Simon P. Thompson, Consul Horace E. James* and M. L. Spiller, do the heavy, edi torials in the Rep iblicnn; and furthermore that Gen. Simon is theauthot of the sketch of his life recently published in that paper. Evidently, the patrons of the Re publican are becoming very exacting of the proprietor of that journal, we infer from the rash and extravagant pledges he is forced to make this wbek. He promises: “Soon after the Republican congressional nominating convention we expect to have Bro. MeEwen’s Democratic scalp dangling in our wigw o m.” Mrs. Fannie Roturock has sold her Millinery Goods to Mrs. Lizzie H. H. Chilcote, who will continue the business at the same old place in Mr. Ralph Fendig’s Dry Goods Store.— Those desiring to invest in goods oT this kind will do well to call on Mrs. Chicoto before going elsewhere. Mrs. will rsmain in the store for a.short time during which goods will be sold very cheap.

I

The Temperance meeting at tho Court House last Friday evening was, as usual, well attended, and the public interest in tho good cause continues undiminished. The good people of Rensselaer are evidently in earnest in this matter as is manifest from the large attendance at tho meetings every week. The marked attention given those whom tho President calls on—and he aims so slight no one.--Every one is expected to say something; a few words from each one will suffice; and no matter how crude or awkward, tho same aie well received and the speaker applauded.— The choir slug appropriate songs, accompanied by the organ, at intervals, which are frequently joined in by the audience. Good order and decorum ore maintained without any trouble. The little folks, boys and girls, of whom there is always a goodly num ber are well behaved, come regularly, and enjoy tho proceedings greatly.— The president, Charley Price, is evidently the right man in the right place, and perfectly at home. Besides putting in his well-timed remarks with sledge-hammer effect, as sisted by his right bower, Samps Erwin, he gives the speakers away oc casionally in an off hand way, enjoys a joke on himself or any of his family. Last evening he requested that Pikes Peak Price’s name should be Included in the list of those who joined, and that the minutes should be so corrected. The said young gentleman was born the evening when twenty-eight names were added to the Blue Ribbon Club—his would make 29.

Last Friday evening fourteen were called on and responded—five were declamations, or recitations, by Misses Ida Milliken, Maggie Haley, Amzy E. Beak, Birdie Spitler, and Master Elmer Dwlggins, which were appropriate, well received and appreeiated. Frank Babcock was the first called on aftei the opening services, and gave a very pretty simile, how a fallen brother should be cared for, in the action of a bird he called the Turn, a kind of sea-gull, which, when shot and wounded, and about to be captured by its enemy,, is picked up bodily from.out the water, by two of its mates, and carried off away from immediate harm, and they in turn are relieved by two fresh birds who take the fallen and wounded one and convey it out of danger. Mr. Joseph D Cowdin, or “Jerry,” as be is familiarly called, won’t attemp* to make an off-hand speech, but occasionally puts on paper what he may desire to say, read the following: Mr. President and Friends: It occurs to me that it is pi operand natural for each member of this club to be observant of the daily conduct of one another, and quite natural, if not proper, to make remarks in regard thereto,

particularly if the walk of one of its membersjs not altogether straight, or, perhaps, somewhat erratic and suspicious. Yet it appears tome, inasmuch as we are not all constituted alike, mentally and physically, and as circumstances and surroundings have a good deal to do in moulding our behavior, that we all should have charity, one for another, and use that Godiike virtue on all occasions. If we think that a brother is doing wrong, go to him privately and talk kindly and plainly to him on the subject. Do not in a Pharisaical and egotistical manner get up and publicly denounce him—perhaps not mentioning any names, but so pointedly that the public eye cau discern who is meant, and may be an innocent person accused. This course is ungentlemanly, unkind and harmful. On the other hand, let us all be careful not to persuade ourselves that we need too much medicine. Better suffer a little for awhile so as to be Tullv convinced what is needed before we conclude that it is indispensably necessary to use a stimulant, for fear the desire may be an unnatural weakness and lead us not only into temptation but into the commission of a sin, to-wit: tue violation of our pledge. This advice I take to myself, while offering it gratuitously to any friend who might be benefittod by following it. We are all more or loss prone to wander from the path of rectitude and are liable, if not very careful, to get into the old rut we used to follow, I will now give you a few statistical remarks for a change, which I have figured out on the subject for your consideration.

Knowledge is power, for it controls, governs and commands capital, for it produces wealth. When labor is di verted from its proper channel, from any cause, and no longer produces wealth, it is a calamity, ruinous to itself and t.o the country. It is estimated that $700,000,000 is annually expended iu the United States for strong drink—an amount almost fabulous. If a man would undertake to count it by the dollar, and would count $20,000 a day, overy day, Sunday included. it. would take 90 yeurs for him to get through counting. If each man would take in at the bar si4oo,|a year, it would require $500,000 men to deal out the liquid damnatiou. If half that number were men of families, and each family numbered 4 perse ns, the retail liquor traffic would have to maintain and keep 1,250,000 persons. Five hundred thousand of this uuin ber are adult males, whose labor is diveited from the proper channel, doing no good to the community, but incalculable harm, inasmuch as the indulgence of strong drink produces poverty, sickness and crime, and fills our alms houses, hospitals and prisons. It engulphs in ruin and desolation those who use the damned stuff, With the wives and innocent children of the inebriate.

A newspaper contributor makes a larger estimate than this, and says: “More than $50,000,000 worth of graiu is wasted annually in the United States in the manufacture of intoxicating drink—sufficient to support all the paupers in the country. There are in our country 250,000 places where liquors are sold, requiring the services of 550‘000 persons, all nonproducers, selling $740,000,000 worth of liquors. And Dr. Story, of Chica go, says, “The building of asylums, the furnishing medicines and comforts for 4000 insane people who die after three years of insanity, and for 8000 lunatics who do not die, but are cured after three years treatment iu the asylum, costs in that time $36,000,000, all caused by drunkenness.” In consequence of all these evils, all business interests are damaged generally and materially, and the safety of our beloved Republic endangered,— On the contrary, if these 550,000 men were engaged in wealth producing labor, what a marked change it would produce in the results. Happiness and prosperity would bless the land —poverty, sickness and crime would suddenly cease to be—abundance, accumulated by sonest toil, would reward tiie laborer, and roseato health pervade all. The change would be as marked as day is from night.—us good is from evil. The millenium would then have begun; and may God, in His infinite wisdom and goodness, hasten the time when this and every sin shall be no more. Then ail His creatures will desire to worship and praise Him with thankful hearts for all His loving kindness. Appropriate remarks were made by Messrs. James Morgan, Joseph Willey, Sampson Erwin, Henry I. Adams, C. H. Price, Dan’l Duvall and Hon. R. S. Dwiggins. Mr. Dwiggins is heartily in earnest in this business, and made a sharp, spirited and effective speech. He expressed a concurrence in the remarks of Bro. Cowdin—that charity should be exemplified toward all those who were endeavoring to do right. If they fell from grace, forgive them 70 times 7 if hecessary, and help them along by encouragement and example. He referred to the remark of Bro. Dan Duvall at tti© previous meeting-“feeling as hot as a lime kiln in the cause of Temperance,”— and said it was time that all should feel as hot as a lime kiln on the subject when $50,000,000 worth of grain was being wasted annually in the United States in the manufacture of intoxicating drinks, at a time when so many were actually dying of starvation in other places. In Ireland, the wail of the homeless, and povertystricken, and down-trodden inhabitants is wafted across the ocean to this western hemisphere where plenty abounds. Oh, if this sum of $50,000,000 worse than thrown away and wasted, could be used iu relieving the horrible misery existing elsewhere what a glorious and happy result would be attained. May God avert the judgment that may be meted out to us for this sin. For in the cycle of time, when a dense population may inhabit our hemisphere, there may be periods when we may be visited by famine, our families crying for bread and dying of hungar. We cannot appreciate the blessings we now enjoy so as to sufficiently sympathize with those cursed by famine and want, nor realze the horrors of death by starvation.

There are several other able advocates of Temperanoe belonging to the club who are on hand every evening, and ready to respond when called on, among whom is Mr. Marion L. Spitler, who the evening previous made a most evening. On the last evening, before closing, and while singing “Hold the Fort,” the following new recruits joined: John Kohler, Henry Eiglesbaeh, Dr. J, S. Owen and Martin E Bayler. j

ALL AROUND TOWN.

BY LOCA LIZER.

—How are you, Mr. Editor! Here you are in a new room. I am happy to make your acquaintance and may it, once made, be lasting. But we must proceed with the news. —The schools are progressing fine* ly this term. The first class ever graduated here will be examined in May, there are about twelve iu this class. It will be difficult for the trustees to secure another principal as efficient as Mr. Allen. Under him the schools have always prospered, and the people regret that he is teaching his last term. —Alfred Thompson moved into his new house the middle of last week. It is not quite yet finished, but soon will be. L. B. Warner now occupies the rooms that Mr. Thompson vacated.

—About 350 people attended the the play given by the temperance club iastSatui day night. Everybody was pleased and delighted with "he performances. About $96.15 was netted, SIO.OO more than was reported. They will “sing another verse” to music from an organ that is paid for, now.

-•Aunt Mary Kannal was taken very ill, suddenly last Thursday evening.

—One of our tonsorial artists is about to enter into the holy bonds of matrimony with one of Reminington’s fair damsels. May they live long and prosper.

—Jake. Eigelsbach moved to his new property, the Morgan farm, last Tuesday. He will have a barn, an and a slaughter house on it as soon as they can be erected. Jake, is an enterprising young man.

—Our ice-dealers were at work Saturday and Sunday putting up ice. They were afraid there would be no crop at all. It was drowned out. —Tom. Boroughs has returned from a protracted visit among his friends. Mrs. Boroughs has not yet returned.

—The temperance meeting last Friday night was very well attended. The seats were all occupied, but the standing room was not quite all fatten. Let everybody turn out to these meetings, without distinction as to color, age, sex or opinion. If you have taken the pledge, come and convince others. If you have not joined, come by all means and be convinced. No matter who or what you are. Be sure and come! —F. W. Bedford has moved his hardware store into the room recently vacated by Emmet Kannal. He sold his meat-market to Alex. Peacock who has traded places with Rails. Howland. Alex, is painting and papering his now room.

—To-morrow is Valentine day. Now boys, dont buy those horrid one cent valentines. Times are flush now. Buy a sweet, sentimental two cent one and send it to your girl. It will us bread cast upon the waters. Harding and La Rue will soon occupy the room vacated bA L. B. Warner.

—“Zepheniah Bersbonikoffer” has suceeded in making a good many people wonder who he is, what man with a sound head, can believe such absurd theories as are expressed in num ers 4 and 5. We would inform Mr. B. that there is a certain book called The Bible,which it would be well to consult before publishing these wild goose chase theories. Of course Mr. B. has a right to his opinion, he lias the best right to it and had better keep it all to himself. We are glad to soe that he has quit writing. He has probably told all he knows.

—The Republican says the K. of P. will give a masquerade ball on the night of the 22nd of February. A masquerade ball is bfid enough, but to have it on Sunday night is an unheard of thing. What is Rensselaer coming to? The K. of P. must be an awful set. Ought not these secret societies be abolished?

Died.— ln Rensselaer, Ind., Sunday morning, February 8, 1880, Nettie, daughter of Nelson Everson, aged about 16 years.

IN MEMORIUM.

There is a (separation for the best of friends. It is one of the saddest things of a life-iime to see one of our bosom friends snatched by death from our midst never to return again, Our dear friend and schoolmate, Nettie Evebson, was a bright, intelligent girl, always the first in her classes, kind and generous to every one. None knew her but to love and respect her. It is indeed sad to think of o iryoung friend just in the bloom of youth, striving to obtain an education that she might be of some use to her fellow beings. taken from us without the slightest warning. However, it is the will es God, which no human being has the power lo break. Let us content ourselves with the hope that some time in the future we will meet our darling in the land where “We meet to part no more.” “Dear Nettie, perhaps from that home above, You look with beautiful eyes, Upon your school-mates with yearning love To win us to the skies. On memory’s wall, an image bright (Seetnr ever near me now; A sweet dead face, a heavenly light Encircling her brow. No more pain nor tender care, While closed in death’s embrace, But a loving look of peace, serenely fair, Rests on her sleeping face.” School-Mates.

A man stopping his paper wrote to the editor: “I think folks oitent to spend their money for’payper; dadda diddent, and everybody sed he was the intelligentest man in the country, and he had the smartest family of boys that everduggd taters.”

FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT.

Hon. John R CoffrothFrom Tho Lafayette Sunday Times. It is understood that the friends of Mr. John R. Coffroth of this city will present his name to the approaching Democratic State Convention as a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Perkins. The Sunday Times as a non-partisan journal is not making Democratic or Republican nominations, but it takes leave to say that the nomination of Mr Coffroth is one “fit to be made” and hopes to see him the candidate of hisjparty. Mr. Coftroth is a pronounced partisan, but has never been an officeseeker. Since his residence in Lafayette every effort of his party friends to make him a candidate for political offices has met with his decided refusal. His fitness for the office of Supreme Judge is conceded by every man who knows him,* His legal abilities are of the very highest order.— He is in the prime of life and with a mental vigor and legal attainments that would make him an ornament on the bench of the Supreme Court.

The Constitutional Amendments.

Seven important amendments to the Constitution of Indiana have been agreed to by a majority of the members electee! to each of the two Houses .•f the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1879, and by an act of the last General Assembly, approved March 10,1877, these said amendments are to be submitted to the electors of the State of Indiana for ratification or rejection, at an election to be held on the first, Monday in April, 1880. The law providing for the submission of these amenaments to the electors of the State enacts that “the secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper, on each of which shall be printed the proposed amendments, and belew each amendment shall be printed the word “Yes” in one line, and in another line the word “No,” that any qualified elector may vote for or against any amendment by depositing one of said ballots in the ballot box. If he intends to vote for any amendment he shall leave thereunder the word ‘Yes,’ and erase the word ‘No’ by drawing a line across it, or otherwise. If he intends to vote against any amendment, the word ‘Yes’ shall in like manner be stricken out and the word ‘No’left; and if both words are allowed to remain without either of them being so erased, the vote shall not be counted either way.

1880 ™ 1880 Indiana Weekly STATE SEQUEL, Enlarged, Improved. II .OO Per Annum. THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1880. The coming presidential year promises to be the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense that we have ever witnessed, undiwill determine questions of the most vital importance to every citizen of the State and nation. It is uotimprol). able—indeed it is almost certain that, upon the determination of these questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of free governinent. 'these questions will be thoroughly discussed during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a first class, experienced, special correspondent at Washington, and in addition to giving a true account of afi the general proceedings in that body, will give the leading speeches of our most prominent statesmen, and without depriving our patrons of the usual amount of reading matter. Tho Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement,(making in all Sixrx Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Sentiuel, as a steadfast watchman of public intelligence, to do its whole duty in affording information to its sub scribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. Asm ’7(5 so in 'Bolndiana will be called upon to take a lirst position in the front of the great contest, and upon the success or failure of the great and gallant Democracy of our State will depend the fate ol issues the most portentous evej- submitted to the arbitrament ol a free people. We shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasion may require, to an entirely New Phase in the politics of our State —we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizau purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. The managers and leaders of the Republican party, in our State and at Washington, are now engaged in this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed tocouviucoTHjr people of the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred and prejudice have fallen harmless:'their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African invasion of worse than a vandal horde of beggars and mendicants to override the voice of the people of the State, anil to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party, the picket assaulting corps of Republicanism in Indiana is thus made up—not from the Hunters, Harrisons. Heilmans, or Shacklefordsof the State; not from the intelligence or ability of that party, but is composed of a motley, parti colored gang wretched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home labor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated taction. The sleepless Sentiuel, upon the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method of manufacturingparty majorities in a State, wo shall at all times ive the latest and most reliable intelligence. The American Democracy, the Federal Jnion, the rights of a lePeople and the States, one and inseparable—now and forever. The merits of The Sentinel as a geueial newspaper are so well known among the farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, tku'. commendation of it is considered superfluous We will add,however, thatthemau agemeut has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its patrons for the mouey; In its news, its editorial, its literary and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading it shall not be surpassed by anv paper circulated in the State. It will bo particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reuding, thinking man in the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it is furnished.

OUR PH MM 1111 Every subscriber to the Weekly State Sentinel, at $1 39 per year, wiil receive a copy of The Sentinel’s very able iaw treatise, by James B. McCrellis, Esq., entitled THE LAW OF THE FARM. The information contained in this little work is invaluable to every farmer, while any business man can consult it with profit.
