Removal !

The Sentinel Office has been moved into rooms one door east of Makeever’s New Hotel, where we will be pleased to greet our friends in futnre. An enhance well says let the Democratic platform contain this plank “ \ tariff not for the interest of a section, but for i he welfare of the whole Republic.” ' Read speech of Senator Voorhees, on first page, in response to the re commendations of radical Secretaries to cease the coinago and retire the circulation of silver. It is said ex Secretary Sherman was an intent listener to the arraignment of himself and others.

The Philadelphia Times, in commenting upon Black Jack Logan s proposition to pension Grant, remarks that “General Grant deliberately chose to appeal to a conclave of Uc tion rather than to the country, an his disappointments were tempered l>y generous gifts, making him pecuniarily independent for all time to come. His ungentlemanly and un. soldierly defamation of General Hans cock placed him beyond the pale o ' respect in the Armv and beyond the pale of respect in the intelligent cii olos of all parties; and the whole country deplored the humiliation General Grant inflicted upon himself and thereby immeasurably upon the Nation. The truth demands the state ment that the passage of general Logan’s bill, restoring General Grant nominally to the Armv to be pension ed for life, would find few approt ing voices among the people. ’ And the Indianapolis Sentinel responds that “If Logah’s proposition will remove Grant from the list of medicants who are forever crying. Give! give! it may be well enough to make Grant a pen sioner for life ”

Republican Simplicity

Nothing is more apparent than the fact that, as a nation, we are constantly receding rrom our early repub lican views and plain customs. This may, in part be attributed to our greatly increased wealth, growth andextended influence. Wealth and power with nations, as with individuals, usually begets ostentation and extravagance; it also begets pride, and “pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” During the first years of our na* tion’s existence, its best statesmen and most distinguished patriots regarded simplicity of style and economy in expenditure as indispensable to a government founded upon republican principles. The inaugura tion of Thomas Jefferson, we are told, was maiked by an entire absence of public parade. Recent exhibitions, on like occasions, indicate a wide desarture from the spirit and customs of our forefathers, If we desire to maintain cur distinguishing characteristics as a people, we must curb our extravagant tendencies and cense to display a style of pomp an ostentation that is only befitting royalty anD despotis.m. Our greatness as a nation, and oui iuture prosperity as a people, will depend very much upon the simplicity of our manners, and our integrity to the principles we profess. The greatness of a nation such as ours does not consist of

“ Starr’d and spangled courts, Where low-brow'd baseness wafts Perfume to pride.” The promotion of our worthy citizens to positions of distinction, and the obsequies of our distinguished dead, should be attended with suitable tokens of respect and love, bu l anything like ostentatious display is foreign to the genius and spirit of our republican principles, and indi iates more of pride than respect. It was prof osed by the Board of Directors of the National Institute to entomb, after his decease, the remains of Andrew Jackson in the sarcophagus of a Roman Emperor. The proposition called forth the following reply, which forcibly expresses the true sentiment of- republicanism:

“I have read the proceedings Of the presentation, by you, of the sarco phagus, and the resolutions passed by the Board of Directors, so honorable to my fame, with sensations more easily to be conjectured than by me expressed, The whole proceed* lags call for my most grateful thanks, which are hereby tendered to you, and through you to the President and Directors of the Rutional Institute.— But with the warmest sensations that can inspire a grateful heart, I must DECWNB ACCEPTING THE HONOR INTENDED to he bestowed. I CANNOT CONSENT THAT MY MORTAL BODY SHALL BE L*AID IN A REPOSITO RY PREPARED FOR AN EMPEROR OR A KING. MY REPUBLICAN FEELINGS AND PRINCIPLES FORBID IT. The simplicity of our system of government forbids it. Every monument erected to perpetuate the memory of our heroes and statesmen, ought to bear evidence of the economy and simplicity of our republican institutions, and the plainness of our tepublican oitizens, who arethesovereignS of our glorious Union, and whose virtue is to perpetuate it.— TRUE ViBTOE CANNOT EXIST WHERE POMP AND PABADE ABE THE GOVERNING PASSIONS. It can only dwell with the people —the great laboring and producing class - that form the bone and sinew of our Confederacy.”

It has been truthfully said that “the measure or |our duty is tho greatnesß of our advantages.” No American citizen can justly lay claim to patii* otism or statesmanship whose aspi rations do not raise him above that greatness which rests on power and pelf, and which, when oherish> dmakes republicanism a mockery and A ebam.

An Irishman who was about toflgbt a duel, insisted that he should stand six paces nearer his antagonist than lie die to him, as he was nearsighted. Heroism in theft: “These defendants are dismissed. The Court they stole a large amount—enough to entitle them to admiration. Call the next case.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.* “What rascal has got my knife?” he asked, and a moment afterward added: “O, I've got it myself!” but for the life of him he could not tell what the boys were laughing so heartily at. Perfectly water proof: Preacher (arriving drenched]—“What shall I do, Mrs. McGregor? I am wet through and through." Ola Scotchwoman—- “ Get into the pulpit as sune as ye •can. Ye’il bo dry eno’ there."— Anon “I can’t think that all sinners will lie lost,” said Mrs. Nimbletuug.— "There’s my husband, now. He is a bad man—a very bad man; but I trust lie wiid be saved at last. I believe he has suffered his due share in this life.” "Amen 1” shouted Nimbletuug from the back seat.—Hartford Evening Post.; Science and sympathy: Mrs. Agassiz found one morning in one. of her slippers a cold little slimy snake, one of six sent the day before to her scicmilic spouse and carefully set aside by him for surety under the bed.— She screamed: “There is a snake in my slipper!” The savant leaped from his couch, eiying: “A snake! Good heavens, where are the other five?” Celluloid is a complex combination formed by mixing gun-cotton and camphor.

The coffin of Lambert, the celebrated “great man,” was foui feet and a half wide and two feet and a half deep. A 1 .hough sound sleep is considered a thing to be desired, yet no sleep is wholesome from which we are not easily roused. The wings of some insects are so thin that fifty thousand of them wo’d not form a heap over one-fourth of an inch high. Grant some men a kindly favor and they are constantly sueing for another. Their rule is that one good turn deserves another. “Amantha ” he murmuied, with pa thos in his voice, “why do you shrink from my embrace as the startled fawn trembies at the rustling of the leaves?” “I’ve been vaccinated,” she said. The number of variations made in the Gospels and Acts by the revisors number 14.601, aud in the entire Testament, 36,10]. “Will you tell me,” asked an old gentleman of a lady, “what Mrs. —’s maiden name was?” “Why, her maiden aim was to get married of course,” exclaimed the lady.

The Programme.

The financial policy of the Administration, as set forth by the Presi dent and Secretary Folger may be put down briefly, as—1. The demonetization of silver, by stopping its coinage. 2. The retirement of the greenback circulation. 3. Opposition to a 3 per cent, funding law, by continuing the3£ extended bonds. 4. The repeal of all taxes on National Banks. Its foreign policy seems to be about this: 1. The abrogation of the ClaytonBulwer treaty. 2. Interference in the South Anferican war between Chili and Peru. And its domestic policy runs on line: 1. Increase in the army. 2. Increase in the navy 3. Subsidies to revive our shipping interests pjostrated by Republican legislation. 4. Lavish appropriations for inter nal improvements. 5. Increase in Federal pasronage by the creation of new offices. This will do for a starter.

Philadelphia Times : “Old Man Bassick” came to Amerioa from the mining districts of Australia several years ago. He was very poor, and upon reaching Bosita, 01., found it necessary to seek immediate employment at the livery He did odd jobs, earning a few dimes a day, and his wife and daughters helped at the washtub to support the family. Everyone who knew him regarded “Old man Bassick” as one of the world’s unfortunates. He had been a miner since his youth, and yet his hat was as full of holes as a sieve. But, at Bosita’ Basiiek continued to search for silver. One day he wandered off among the hills. He walked for hours looking for a point to touch with his pick. When he sat down on a hillside to rest he scraped the earth mechanically. At the grass root he struck mineral. Surprised at his unexpeetd luck he began to dig. The result was entirely

satisfactory. Returning to Roeita, he told a merchant the storyjand offered half his claim for SH. The merchant pooh-poohed the idea. A few days afterwards j*o- - talked of the Basaick nine. In less than a week the “Old man” was admitted to be worth several hundred thousand dollars. At the spot where Bassick idly dropped his pick is the town of Querioa, named by Mrs. Franklin, in whose Long Branch cottage the late President died. The population of the town is 500, and is about aa prosperous as the majority of places of the kind. The Bassiek family are well known here, Mrs. Bassiok, who is a sister of Mrs. Austin, having juet returned home from a visit of several weeks in Rensselaer.

1881. 1881. The Indiana WEEKLY SENTINEL Has been enlarged and improved until it is now the Lakskst 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 sliail not be surpassed by any paper circulated in the State. It will be .particularly adaptod 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 Vigorously than ever agaiust the party of cenlialization 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 peopleTke Republican party can not survive its crimes. Its monumental iniquities cast their shadows athwart the land.— Just men of alt political opinions are horrified at i s colossal crimes Its am bition 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 tlio days when John Sherman bartcied Federal offices for perjuries to scat Hayes, crimes have followed each other iu rapid succession- The flood-tide of thievery has flowed grandly. There have been 6tar Route thieves, Treasury thieves, Navy Department thieves, War Department thieves, and Signal Service thieves, and Indiana has bad Dorsey, the notorious Star Route thief, and Secretary of the Republican National Comuat.ee* in the State, organizing crime to carry the State against the will of the poopm. 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 spoils, the mutual denunciations of its factions, their crirnirecriminations, their mutual hates muck culminated in the assassination of the President, thereby capping the climax of horrors and completing the work of infamy,

Witn this record of crime, the Republican party asks for a new lease of power, and it will be the high ambition of the Sentinel to defeat its purposes and emancipate the country from its debauching grasp. The Sentinel, in addition to its superiority, ib, 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 other States, and we ask Democrats to bear this in mind, and select Your Own State Paper when you come to lake subscriptions and make up clubs.
