PUBLIC MEETING.

All citizens of Jasper County, who have opinions upon the subject of removing artificial obstructions to the . 4|, tW - cf water in the Iroquois River i>r< requested to meet »t the Court House n Rensselaer, on Saturday May 13th A D 1882, at I P. M to take action. ‘MANY CITIZENS'* The ‘Tium-d Kn'ght dont>v.;.e{l[,v mote Belmonts after him. Ih l I. lei rogatories scored too deeply o be agreeable. \ large number ot arc b.-_ in _> aniif.uuccd wlusj nanifs will be t i< seated before the State Convention , 0i licuiination to the State offices te be vot'd fer at the c-1 c ion this fall. Ia a saw mill in Texas one reads the following information: “Don’t munky witti the buzz saw when in motion.” Mr. Blaine should profit by this warning if he meots young Perry Belmont in the future.

The President haa granted a full res mission to the continuing penalty in Gen, Eitz John Porters ease. leaves it in the power of Congress to reinstate dim to (he position from which ho was removed by selN lu’obed loyal! patriots and radical par.isans. Every shirt on the back of a laboring man, every tool in his hand, his bread, ivis meat, his clothing, his sugar, his salt, have all been taxed beyond any occasion or necessity to perpetuate a system of spoliation. If a working man pays on uu average 50 per cent, more than he should nay upon nearly all the necessa l ies of life it is hi i own fault. He makes the bed he lies on. He has the sart of government he provides for himself, and when he desires to change it he can do s ). —Philadelphia Record. The people are beginning to study the system of taxation that robs one class to enrich another. The people, when once they fully understand the workings ofthe present unjust and oppressive system o 1 protection will- rise in their might and crush it out.

DeMotte had a majority of less than 1,100 votes when he was elected to Congress in 1880. A change of less than 5&0 votes wtll defeat him next fall. Can that change be effected ? Only the other day Demotte voted in the House to shift the responsibility of tariff reform to the shoulders of a commission. It is only a dodge to carry the subject beyond the approaching campaign. During the can. ▼ass Mr. D. will insist before Ills hearers that he ia only awaiting the action and report of the commission in order to do something for their relief. It may be safely set down as a miserable subter_ fuge. If elected hC will be found working in Ihe interests of protectionists, and agatnst the people. His cowardice, in voting ior a paid commission, to perform certain official duties which of right de, volvo upon him, should of itself work a change ot many more than 550, and leave DeMolle at home.

A special correspondent of the “Press and Dakotian,” “Yankton, writes up “A Week’s Observation— What We Saw during a Week’s Ram. ble Along the W, & St. P. R. R.,”ete. —from which we clip the following paragraph referring to a prominent citizen of Rensselaer; West of Tracy, in the afternoon, we fell in with a company of Hoosiers who were going to Dako’a “to shoot tree claims,” tts they put it. The car w as crowded and a fellow was mighty lucky to get even half a seat. In front of us and right near the stove, sat one of the Hoosiers—G. E. Mar . shall, editor of a paper at Rensselaer, Indiana, By his side sat a two hundred and fifty pound German girl, who was holding down a near Goodwin. Above the din and rattl e of the train we caught bits of their conversation, which was in substance that he was looking for a lady with deeded property. It was about the warmest conversation we have heard for some time. Marshall happens to be a bachelor, chuck full of sorious intentions.

John W. H°l com be is the coming man.for Superintendent of Public In struction. It gives us much pleasure to say that Mr. Holcom b e is one of the very few native Hoosiers who is ) 8 o capable and worthy of the office of State Superintendent. Mr. H. was born in Laporte, .and spent his boyhood school days in the Pub lie Schools at that place. He then attended Harvard University several years and graduated there, returning and engaged for a season as a teacher n Valparaiso. After accumiiating some funds in that capacity he took a full course in the law Department, of lowa University and graduated there He then became deputy in the offio© •f Sup’t Public Instruction, and for a few years past very efficiently di s charged the duties of the office unde r Profesfors Smart and Bloss until a short time ago when he gave up his

position, and again returned to Valparaiso. His mastering ability, his gentlemanly manners, his scholarly attainments, and his practical know, ledge of the administrative and ex. cutive duties of the office he seeks all combine to make him the most fit ting cadidate and one which the de" mocracy of this district should con' gratulate itself, that it is able to put *ueh a desirable man. He is a tried and true Jeffersonian. Democrat, and if Dominated and elected, his constituents will no doubt be pleased te re. Dominate him. Our county convention can not do better than give him its entire support.
