The photo-engraved copy of Mr. Calkins’ assessment letter disproves the statement that it was only a “cir cular.” * Haruibal Hamlin, of Maine, said a few weeks before the late election that the Republican majority would reach 25,000. The Republicans are now growing wild on 10,000 or 15,000 less. Keep it before the people that the Democratic House at its last session passed bills to forfeit some 90,000,000 acres of unearned land grants end reserve them for the use of actual settlers, but the b.lls were choked off by the Republican Senate.

We have recei veil from theLaPorte Argus a photo engraved copy of 'wo’d-be-Governor Calkins’ assessment letter to - the Widow Duncan. By the way, Mr- Calkins, we believe you have not responded to the last very specific letter from the widow. Why aot? Mr. Calkins. * - v “John Jasper* gives Gentle George a mei ited rebuke in another column. We do not agree with him, however, that there are no “great issues” in volved, or that Mr Cleveland does not present vastly stronger claims for the suffrages of the people, than Mr. Blaine. The propositions on tax iff reform alone, as presented by the Democracy are entitled to the eam st consideration and support of the ses. The high-handed robberii s se Government by the partisan s” of radical administrations, and ire to convict, present strong in-.-ments to drive the out and ‘outs’ - la, and thus qfford an op P ortunity for inspection of the books. Then, in selection of the Executive, die public character of the can-

didatr, in the mutter of honesty and j capability should have much to do.— i We think, in view of investigations had, and the result, it if not disputed that Mr. Blaine, when Speaker, bartered his rulings for gain. At bis prompting, toe A. Logan, raised the point of order which gave him the opportunity to rule as be :iad predetermined, aDd of which he reminded the favored monopoly, and demanded compensation. Blaino & Logan—fit associates, but unfit for the high positions foi which they have been nam*d. “Turn the ras cals our ” Oharies H. Price, Esq., late Cleru of the Jasper Circuit Court, has beeD appointed to a Judgeship in Dakota. His numerous friends in these parts are gie.illy pleased, aDd extend congratulations. Hon. Rev. W. W. Curry, a depur - mental clerk at Washington, deliver* “d himself of a radical harangue at the Court House, Monday evening— Every efiort was made to secure him an audience. Big posters and little posters were distributed, profusely during several days previous to the date fixed for the speaking, and yet there wus no such attendance presen* as that which greeted Hen, |Wm. IV Myers, one week before ;and he awoke no such enthusiasm as did the last named gentleman. Gent e George acted as Master of Ceremonies, in the absence of his chief. He called the meeting to order and introduced Dr, Jas. Ritchey who in turn introduced the speaker. The speech was dry and prosy, and the points attempted to be made unsustained by facts and experience. At the closs of the gentleman’s remarks. Dr. Jas. Ritchey desired all who regarded the speech a good one—(he was 80 years old,had ridden four miles to hear it, and we suppose was not altogether satisfied in his own mind on that point)—to rise to their feet; about twenty persons responded. The applauding committee, consisting of Messrs. Z@a, Austin Thompson, W. H. Rhoades, of the firm of W. Hand 0, Bhoadas, and one or two others, were not distributed in amanner to prove effective, consequently the applause was by no means uprorious. After urgent importunity for prompt and full attendance of the members of the Mulligan Guards.at. their regular meetings, the people dispersed.

A Truly Irish Bull.

A truly singular method of preserving ruins, says the London Truth, has been discovered in Ireland. On the Case Hill, near Belfast, there was a short time ago an ancient castle, lu order to preserve its ruins from the ravages of time and of passing vandals, some autiquar.an determined to surround it with a wall and employed a contractor to execute the work. The wail was finished in due course, but when the antlquar ian came to admire the castle it was gone. The contractor had used the ruins for material, and not a stone of the castle remained.

The Great English Question

T see a Century scientist tells us the sun is so far away that if a limited express train had left there when the Mayflower sailed from Delfnaven it would still be many years’ journey from the earth.” “Aye, but you blastered Hameri cans are so unreasonabfe, ye know. 'Ow the deuce could a liraiied hexpress run from the sun ’ere? And where would it stop for dinner?”

The attorneys for the Sentinel have filled the following interrogatories for Mr. Blaine to answer under oath, positively and without evassion: 1. What was the maiden name of your wife? 2. When and where did you make her acquaintance? <3. State whether you ever lived in the State of Kentucky,jri what em’ ployment you were there engaged, and at wuat place, and at what time you were so eng iged? 4. State whether the petson you afterward married lived in Kentucky at that time, iu what employment she was engaged, and at what place she was so engaged. 5. State when you finally left Kentucky, if you at any time resided there, where you went theretrom, where you were next employed, in what business or calling. 6. If you answer that the maiden name of your wife was Harriet Stanwood, state when she finally left Kentucky, and when and where you next met her. 7. How and where you first married? . . 8. Were you not married some time in the month of March, 1351? 9. Give th 9 date and place of your mairiage, and the name of the per* sons besides yourself and wife, who were present on the occasion? 10. What acquaintance had you with Jacob Stan wood? 11. What relation was he, if any, to the person you married, and what coversation or interview did you have with him before said marriage concerning the same, and where did

such any. occur, and what wus said and done tbereiu? 12. Was not the first child of said maniac* born on the 18th day of June, 1881? 13. What was its name, bow long did it live, and with whom? 14. Where did said child die, where -ras it buried, and if in any cemetery give the name of the cemetery? 15. Woe any tombstone or monument erected at the grave of said child, giviDg the date of its birth, and by whose directions said tombstone erected? 16. Was there any inscription on said tombstone, at the time of its erect’":! or shortly thereafter? If so, give he said inscription in words and figures as the acme was originally on said tombstone? 17. Did not said tombstone bear the loilowing inscripion relative to the birth of said child: “Stanwood Blaine, born June 18, 1881?” lft Has any portion of such inscription on said tombstone been erased since its erectio —if so what portion thereof?

19. What acquaintance have you with a book called, “The Life of Janies G. Blaine,” written by Russell H. Conwell, with an introduction by Gov. Robie, of Maine, and published by E. C. Allen & Co., Augusta, Maine, in the year 1884? 20. . Were iot the proof of such work submitted to you for revision ? 21. Is not the statement made up' on the 68th page of said book, a 8 follows; “Miss Stan wood, In March. 1851, became his wife at Pittsburg Pa.,” a correct statement or the time and place of your marriage? 22. Bid you not communicate to the author of said book, for his use in such wortt. the time and place of your matrhige, as afordsaid? The following communication was handed to the edi or of the Republic can, but h s columns were “too much crowded" to give it space. Possibly it was *too strong meat for readers whose intellects have been enfeebled by a protracted diet of pap and treacle : j. j.

Editor Republican: Wby can’t men be decent in their politics? Why not exhibit some of the maivelous effects of our boasted civilization and Christianity in their political as well as their religious dealings with their fellow men? The Methodist brother, no matter how ardent in his convic lions, does not stand ou the street corner and howl at because of the difference in their creeds; the Presbyterian does not rail at the Baptist, nor tl.e Baptist abuse the Episcopalian, because the light does not strike them ail in the same spot. The members of these and the hundreds of other denominations are content to march harmoniously in the grand procession, believing that all aie working towafd the same great goal, and that though their paths may diverge slightly here, they will all “get there* in the end. It is reserved for the politicians to degrade themselves by slandering and vilifying every man who does not see tilings through their jaundiced spectacles. This disposition prevails largely in both parties, but It is much more nearly universal amoDg epablieuns than among Democrats. Recall the Republican speeches you have I card; turn over your files ot Republican papers; converse with tho leading Republicans ol your acquaintance; and if you can remember, find or hear oue sing e Kindly, generous, hearty sentiment of appre* elation of a Democrat, I’ll give you my head for a toot-ball. You wi.l hear every Republican politician, even of the smallest caliber, spoken of as an “eminent statesman,” or “a Dure patriot,” or “a wise and able man,” or some other equally fulsome and laudatory term applied to him: while every Democrat is referred to us “a misera le traitor,” or “a sneakng copperhead,” or “an arrant demagogue.” I have noticed, also, that t..e descending grade of intellect exactly marks the ascending grade of abuse of all men of opposite opiu« ions; and when you finally reach the narrow line which thinly divides the man and the monkey, you will learn that in this free land a Democrat has no rights whatever —that they are all “liars and hoi se-thieves, and bribed by Briti -h gold,” or words to that effect. These connecting links tnink a Democrat has no right even to aspire to office, and go upon the Douny brook Fair principle: “W erever you see a head, hit it.” Now, Mr. Editor you and I, and all intelligent people know what insufferable popycoclc all tiiis is. We know there is not a uincempoop in all the land sufficiently silly to be swayed by it. Then why not use your influence to put a s'op to it, and make men gen tlemen in their politics as well as their religion? Last week you praised the great Normal recently held here as marking the rapid progress of education among tLe people. Yet every week you lend your influence lo perpetuate a style of Bpolitical warfart—the Chinese stink-pot stylo—which has become obsolete in intelligent communities* that is calculated to move back the hands upon the dial of time fully fifty years, and Which, if it has any effect at all, must be only through he basest passions of the must degraded men. You know that three-fourths of the political assertions you print from week to week concerning the opposite party are baseless fabrications, concoct ed for political effect; you know that the Democratic party has the good of the country at heart every whit as much as the Republicans; you know that Cleveland will make as respectable a President as Blaine; you know that the election of either will not have the slightest effect to retard or

advance the prosperity of the country’ or deleteriously affect the of any single citize ; you kDow that there are no “great principles” oi ‘tremendous issues” involved in the present campaign—you know it is simply a fight of the ins to stay in, and of the outs to get in. Then why should the average citizen rend bi's iinen, or bawl himself hoarse in behalf of either candidate? And why should newspaper . which set themselves up as guardians of the morals of the people, make themselves, instead, mere sewers of fll'h. disseminators of slander, ani receptacle* of lies to blacken the fair fame of good men who may chance to be nominated for offlci bv the opposite party? In what I haye written, Mr Editor, I do not wish to be considered persona!, but am speauing in general terms, Intended for application to both parties. I occupy the elevated plane of ts-e succsssfui speculator who holds four aces in a little game of draw. In other words, I am eu tirely independent— perhaps even in* different—and don’t care a continental which wins. But Irould not resist the temptation in a plea for more decency in politics, and a higher tone to current, di cushion thereof. If yau convince me that I am wrong and you are right, I will throw up my hat for fiiaino during the rest of the campaign.

A Good Offer.

(From the New York U. 8 Democrat ) Mi-Sterne Chittenden, a distinguished lawyer o, this city (No. ITS Broadway) proposes, in a letter to the N. Y. Evening Post, to give the sum of SIO,OOO to Yale College, or to the Republican campaign fund, if Mr. Blaine will submit his Fisher letter to the venera le ex-President Woolsey, or Yale College and if Dr. Woolsey, after a caretul examination, shall decide that the} are in no way discreditable to Mr- Blaine’s honor. Here is a fair offer which should be accepted without delay. Mr, Chittenden is a graduate of Yale College, of high standing in the class of 185*. and is able aud willing to pay tbe money on the condition on the money he has laid down. Mr. William Walter Phelps, Blaine's Manager, is a graduate in the Yale C allege in the class of 1359. President Woolsey has always been a member of the Republican party. But will Mr. Blaine venture to face the music and stand the test? This, to him, is far more important matter than going Westgunning for editors who excites wrath, as a President should never get mad when nobodv cares.

Blaine’s Chairman and Pauper Labor.

Cambridge, (O-,) Jeffersonian: B F. Jones, Chairman ofthe Republican National Committee, who put SIOO,OOI mto the campaign fund, was among the first persons in the country to import foreign pauper labor to compete with American workingmen. This fact has great weight with workingmen and is making thousands of votes for Cleveland aDd Hendricks. The Ohio Republican Committee sent a note to Lot M. Morrill, begging him to come to their State and Speak for Blaine. As Mr- Morrill had been dead eighteen months, Mrs. Motrill was naturally shocked and indignant. Ber letter in reply says that if ber husband were alive he would certainly not spea for or vote for Dla’.ne, and that some four 'ears ago he predicted the election of a Democrat to the fi'St position in 1864. —New York GraphicLockport ( N• Y.) Union: We are willing to concede that Mr. Blaine is all that his friends affirm of him, when they say with so much exultation ‘he is a very magnetic man, ’ A magnet poss sses the very pe uliar power of attracting metalic substances. It will attach metals to itself, including silver aud gold, with a teneclty that defies any counter attraction to withdraw it, exept physical force.
