Removal !

The Sentinel Office has been moved into rooms one door east of Makeover’s New Hotel, where we will be pleased to greet our friends in future.

Message on first page. Delphi Times: T. H. Hlner, of the Air Li ue road has been appointed eu perintendent of the Western Union Telegraph line.from this city to Chicago. ' The Indianapolis News, one of the most ably edited Republican newsna pers in Indiana, has this to say of the tariff convention: “A ray of light flashes in upon our neighbor, the Times, when it says, ‘lt is very evident that the National tariff convention is being run by and in the interest of, men who are demanding protection as a matter of peisonat profit aud speculation to themselves.’ That is very nearly the color of the tariff business. The tariff, a good and needful thing in the present financial condition of the country, is so adjusted in large part as to be merely and only an encouragement forfmonopoly and a legalized method by which a few capitalists can plunder the people. But the ludicrous side of it is to hear the working men bellowing around in this fools paradise under the impression that‘protection’ means protection to him when in most cases it simply makes him the victim in common with all customers, robbed for the behoof of those who can control legislation.”

The Delphi Times very properly says: “Not more than one in twenty of the people of the United States can be classed among the beneficiaries of our present tariff. A system of imposts, designed to protect certain pet monopolies at the expense of other industries, is a forced levy on nineteen citizens for the benefit of one. It may be that a large proportion of the people, possibly Dearly half, believe this system conduces to their prosperity. But if asked to state the grounds of such belief, to show how it inures to their advantage they can only mouth some of the platitudinous and exploded sophistries by which protective robbery has sought to justify its existence. The theory that a people can grow rioh by * fencing out the products of other nations is a wild absurdity. It rests on the delusion that commerce is the exchange of the surplus products of one nation for the cash of other nations. instead of an interchange of products. Take our great agricultural interest, the main reliance for home consumption and exports, and tell us how the farmer is helped by a prohibitory tariff. He sells his breadstuffs and meat in Europe. He gets not a penny more for what he sells than he would under a reformed rev nnue system. But almost everything that he buys is taxed. He erives three bushels of wheat or three pounds of beef for what would cost him only two bushels or two pounds, if he were not plundered by the tariff ADd as it is with the farmer so is it with all except the favored few, who thrive on prohibitory imposts. The time is .coming when the victims of this thieving system will not be among its advocates. Unless we are to go backward to barbarism, we must go forward in the path of enlightened civilization, and that lies in the direction of revenue reform. — We may not hope for absolute freedom of trade for many generations, but we may fairly hope to see the worst evils of monopolistic {protection destroyed.”

[From the Delphi Times.]

“JASPER.”

ANOTHER VETERAN GONE. Gen- R- M. Milroy's War-Horse Dead. It becomes our duty with this edition of the Times to record the death, on the 2d inst., of the old war-horse, "Jasper,” familiar to the oeople of Carroll and apjoining counties as the horse presented to General R. H. Milroy by citizens of Jasper; county on the morning of the day of the firing upon Fort Sumpter. He is described by one who saw him then as a handsome. smooth-limbed colt, being about four years old. graceful and spirited in carriage and movement and of a clear gray color. General Milrpy used him in the servioe during the entire war, excepting only a short period in which, after a severe wound, he was furloughed home to rest and recruit. Back once more to the front with his devoted master to return again to his native county only with returning peace. During General Milroy's residence in Delphi, he kept and fondly cared forlthe battle-scarred veteran in his own family, but upon his departure to Washington Territory, Jasper was pensioned on the broad, green acres of the farm es Samuel Milrey, one mile east oj Delphi. In the service of his oountry Jasper received three bullet wounds, and to the day of his death carried a rebel bullet in his left shoulder. Prior to receiving his first wound the faithful animal, seeming to catch the spirit of his master, entered battle with a courage and a pride born of true intelliligence, heeding not the roar of mus ketry or the thunder of artillery; but wounded once, he often hesitated, and crouched and trembled in abject fear upon entering battle, and even In his latest years, when blind, and deaf to the report, the concussion from the firing of cannon produced an effect on the animal beautiful in its suggestion, but pitiful to see. With few exceptions, General Milroy rode Jasper in every battle in which the “bloody” Ninth Indiana engaged while at the front. He had the fondest attachment ment for the horse, and was ever as solicitous for its comfort as for his own. In 1876, while visiting here. General M. went to his brother’s farm to take a parting look at -the faithful old animal, then blind, weak and .emaciated with age. The horse seem*

ed to recognise the pr< scar e of bs former master, and while the latt> r stood with arms about the horse s neck, Jasper quietly and fondly rested his head on the shoulder of the old soldier. It is said a tear rolled down the furrowed cheek of General Milroy when the two veterans teparated, the one*sightless, the other taking a last look on a faithful friend—brute though he was. At the ripe old age Of twenty-four, blind, deaf, bullet ani battle-scarred and terribly emaciated, Jasper has gone, we trust to a home of eternal verdure, where “grim visaged war” ne’er shows her wrinkled front. Green be his grave and greener be his memory.

Additional Locals.

Marriage licenses were issued durthe week to Walter L. Gum and Rose J. Hart of Remington; Ralph E. Spencer and Lillie I. Boroughs, of Rensselaer.

1881. 1881. The Indiana WEEKLY SENTINEL Has been enlarged and improved until it is now the Largest and the Very Best paper published in the West. The Weekly Sentinel is in all regards a superior eight page 56 column paper. The merits of the Sentinel as a general newspaper are so well known, that commendation of it is superfluous. We will add, however, that the* management has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its patrons for the money. In its news, its editorials, its literary, and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading-it shail not be surpassed by any paper circulated in the State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. No reading, thinking man in the State can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it is furnished. The Sentinel will continue to be the same earnest advocate of true American Democracy in the future that it has been in the past; indeed, it proposes to battle more yigorously than ever agaiust the party of centralization and corruption.— Vast monopolies own and control the Republican party, and in the future, as in the past, it can not do otherwise than foster class legislation, thereby trampling upon the interests of the producing masses. The motto of the Sentinel is, “Hold fast to the Democratic faith and battle on,” and as certainly as God reigns vieory will ultimately be with the peopleTlie Republican party can not survive its crimes. Its monumental iniquities cast their shadows athwart the land. — Just men of all political opinions are horrified at i‘s colossal crimes Its ambition is for plunder and Imperial power. Its downward progress, from the days when Grant’s thieves organized the Whisky Ring to raise a corruption fund, to Guiteau’s tragedy, has been marked by infamy at every step. From the days when John Sherman barteied Federal offices for perjuries to sent Hayes, crimes have followed each other in rapid succession. The flood-tide of thievery has flowed grandly. There have been dtar Route thieves. Treasury thieves, Navy Department thieves, War Department thieves, and Bigual Service thieves, and Indiana has had Dorsey, the notorious Htar Route thief, and Secretary of the Republican National in the State, organizing crime to carry the State against the will of the people. The Sentinel will invite the people of Indiana to contemplate these Republican methods to obtain and maintain power. It will keep its readers informed with regard to Republican . fights for sooils, the mutual denunciations of its factions, their criminations and recriminations, their mutual hates which culminated in the assassination of the President, thereby capping the climax of horrors and completing the work of infamy, With this record of crime, the Republican party asks for a new lease of power, Rud it will be (he high ambition of the Sentinel to defeat its purposes and emancipate the country from its debauching grasp. The Sentinel, in addition to its superiority, is, moreover, an Indiana paper, devoted to and specially represents Indiana’s interests, political and otherwise, as no foreign paper can or will do, and ought, therefore to have preference over the papers of otber States, and we ask Democrats to bear this in mind, and select Your Own State Paper when you come to take subscriptions and make up clqbs.

Catha rt i c Pil Is Combine the choicest cathartic principles in medicine, in proportions accurately adjusted to secure activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. They are the result of years of careful study and practical experiment, and are the most effectual remedy yet discovered for diseases caused by derangement of the stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effectual treatment. Ayer’s Pills are specially applicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimi lative processes, and restore regular healthy action. Their extensive use by piiysieians in their practice, and hv all civilized nations, is one of tlio many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, ant perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Being compounded of the concentrate! virtues of purely vegetable substance? they are positively free from calomel a any injurious prc»perties, and can be administered to clyldren witll perfect safety, Ayer’s Pills are an effectual cure fo* Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges* tion. Dyspepsia, Loss of Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic, Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout, Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all other diseases resulting from a -disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill they have no equal. While gentle in their action, these PrbLfi are the most thorough and searching cathasv tic that can be employed, and never give pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is healing. They stiraxb late the appetite and digestive organs; they operate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to the whole system.
