RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26. 1884.

A Remakable Escape. Mrs. Mary A. Daily, ofTunkhannock, Pa„ was afflicted for six years with Asthma and Bronchitis, during which time the best physiciahs could give no relief. Her life was despaired of, until in last October she procured a Bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, when immediate relief was felt, and by continuing its use for a short time she was completely cured, gaiuiug in flesh 50 lbs- in a few months Free Trial bottle of this certain cure of all Throat and Lung Diseases at F. B. Meyer’s Drug Store. Large Bottles SI.OO [4.] Indina State Fair. Eariy indications regarding the State Fair for ibis season arc flattering, and in connection with the bouutifut crops give assurance to the managent that it will be better than ever. The Fair will commence on Monday September 29- The entry books, except in the speed ring, will’close ihe Saturday previous. All stock and articles must be in place Monday forenoon, the first day. Experience has demonstrated ihe importance of promptness and early preparation. Special attractions will be provided to make each dky interesting. It will be strictly Agricultural Fair and Farmers’ Annual Festival, Tuesday of the Fair will be Indiana Schoolchildren's day; free tickets issued for that purpose. No fees for display of exhibit, but every convenience for ex» hibitors and the comfort of visitors- Merit alone governs awards. Premiums have always been paid in full. More improvements ordered to provide tor the increase ed show in the live stock department, it is estimated that $1,000,010 of machin*. ery and $1,500,000 of live stock will be on exhibition. The amount of business by sales amounts to millions, and the amount of money put in general circulation by the Fair is estimated at $5000,00C. It is an acknowledged fact that any intelligent person may learn more by attending the State Eaii, as to the improvement in live slock and machinery and progressive agricultural, than by months ot tiavel for tha-u purposeThe railroads centering at the capital city will, as usual, carrv passengers fit half rate. >i,<) •n o all exhibition stock and arncles tree.

An Important Discovery.

The most important Discovery is that which brings the most good to the great est number. Dr. King’s New Discovt ery for Consumption, Goughs, and Colds, will preserve the health and save life, ana is a priceless boon to the afilcted. Not not. only does it poitively cure consumption, but Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Hoarseness, and all affections of the Throat, Ohest and Lungs, yield at once to its wonderful curative po we’s. fl you doubt this get a Trial Bottle Free, at JL.

The Cincinnati commercial Gazettee says: ‘With every disposition to accomodate Mr. Blaine, who would like every Republican newspaper in the land to reSroduce the last batch of I ulligan letters, we are still of the opinion that they are not worth the space they would occupy in our columns.’ This opinion seems to be shared by most of the Blaine editors throughout the counts y. With a single exception, Mr Blaine’s newspaper organs have refused to print the new Mulligan letters in full, despite his expressed wish that they should do so. This is most unkind, especially as Mr. Blaine insists that the letters contain nothing that is inconsistent with the most scrupulous honor and integrity. The New York Tribune, his organ in chief, printed but thirteen of the twenty letters, suppressing seven which were absolutely necessary to a complete understanding of the case—among them all referring to the Little Rock na tional bank scheme, and that of Fisher Referring-to BLiine’s sale of bonds to Tom Scott The Tribune, however, did better than the Journal, ot Boston, which printed only ninn of the letters, givihg misleading ‘summaries” of the others in its own words. Singularly enough, the judgement of The Journal coincided with that of the Tribune as to the letters which it was wise to suppress. The GlobeDemocrat, of St. Louis, which a few weeks ago denounced Mr. Blaine for ‘cohabiting with corruption,’ has not printed a line of the new letters, which like the Commer- j cial Gazette, it evidently con- 1 eiders not worth the space they would occupy. It is really sad that the republican candidate should have to depend exclusively upon the Democratic and Independent press to give his ‘vindication’ to the world. But it may be possible, after all, that his expressed desire for the publication of these letters in full was purely for effect, and that an intimation was conveyed to his organs that he wan not te he taken in earnest. The only other hypothesis upon which the course of his organs can be explained is that they realise the damaging nature of the letters, and feel that they know better than Mr. Blaine the danger which their circulation will involve.

One laborous defender of Mr. Blame against the evidence of Mr. Blaine asserts that ‘Mr. Blaine consracted with him [Caldwell, Fisher, Roots, et al.] for the purchase of a certain block of their securities at precisely the same rate which others paid Hence no favor was show to Blaine.’ If this is a true statement, what it requires ns to believe is that a negotiation between Mr. Speaker and Dear Fisher running through a period of four months was necessary to enable the former to effect the purchase of a block of securities which any other capitalist could have purchased in four minutes, without the aid of an intermediary. And that is not ail it requires us to believe. It requires us to believe that when, in the letter of June 27, 1869, Mr. Speaker urged Dear Fisher to induce Mr. Caldwell to make a definite proposition to admit him into the speculation, and, {is an in entive to that end, said he did not feel that he should ‘prove a deadhead in the enterprise,’ and added ; ‘I see various channels In which I know I can he useful’ he (Mr. Speaker) was only trying to persuade Caldwell to sell him a certain block of securities on the same terms that he would have sold the same securities to a capitalist who was not speaker of the house!

It requires us to believe that the proposition of Fisher, which Mr. Speaker said (July 2) he considered ‘a most liberal one,’ was merely a proposition to let Mr. Speaker have a block of railway bonds at the same price and terms that the company would gladly have accepted from any other man for the same bonds! It requires us to believe that Caldwell refused to let Mr. Speaker have the said bonds at the price and terms that they were offered to other capitalists, and persisted in that refusal during July, Augusta, and September, against all the persuasive diplomacy that Mr. Speaker could bring to bear upon him through the mediation of Fisher! It requires us to believe that Mr. Fisher’s letter of October 4, giving an account of his disinterested action in securing the Little Rock land-grab, ana saying to Fisher, ‘You can tell him [Caldwell] that, without knowing, I did him a great favor,’ was written only to in duce Caldwell, after three or four months refusal,.to sell Mr. Speake a block of bonds at ‘precisely the same rate that others paid!’ It requires us to believe that the obstinate Caldwell, after three or four months’ refusal to sell a block of bonds to Mr. Speaker at the same rate that others paid, yielded to Mr. Speaker’s irresistible account of that great favor and let him have the bonds at the same price he would have accented from any other man the instant he had offered it! It requires as to believe rather more than average h% man credulity can swallow Chicago Times.

Two Speak and Two Parties.

(I'Yuiu the I„ I. o!t> Ktur.) James G. Blaine, Republican; Samuel J. Randall, Dem ocrat; each an acknowledged leader in liis party; both are conceded masters in the science ot parliamentary control. When Randall became Speaker, the lobby vanished from yV ashington like miasma under the rays of the rising sun. When Blaine closed an official term, he received his warmest and most appropriate compliments from the king of the lobby. How Blaine sold his great office, in order that through ill-gotten wealth he might attain one still greater, is known to all men. No man ever accused Randall of even the slightest favoritism, or thought of him otherwise than as the implacable foe to official venality, Blaine —extravagant in all things—lives in a place, and is miserable witn his ill-got-ton millions. Randall, frugal in private as in public life, enjoying a scant competency, acquired by unswerving industry. Each typifies, and is the legitimate product of the practices of his party. Which will thepeople endorse? the degradation of Blaine Republicanism, or the high honor of Democracy, of which Randall was the type as Sneaker and Cleveland as Mayor, Governor and Presidential candidate. Besides Randal the Democracy has elected two speakers since the 'Var, with equal opportunities and temptations to those of Blaine. How impossible to- imagine either of the three—Randall, Kerr, or Carlisle—in the disgraceful predicament as that in which Maine’s corruption has left him. Mr. Blaine’s New York organ says: His letter of April 16 is an honest man’s urgent plea for simple justice.’ Mr. Blaine himself, it will be observed, marked this letter ‘confidential,’ and enjoined Dear Mr. Fisher to ‘burn it.’

NUMBER 35.

Cleveland and Labor.

(From ttifi I'mlnge l{e|>ul»l'fii>;.i At the immense workingmen’s mas meeting recently held in New York City, a declaration of twenty four reasons for voting for Cleveland was adopted and one hundred thousand copies ordered to be printed for distribution. The declaration sets forth in comprehensive language the benefits accruing and to accrue to workingmen in every one of Grover Cleveland’s vetoes of legislative measures concerning which Republican papers have attempted to make capital, and wherein his approval of other measures tend to the general welfare of that common wealth. The workingmen of New York rightly conclude that a man who has the ability to faith fully and impartially govern a. great State can be trusted to fill the presidential chair. Their confidence in Cleveland will not be misplaced. How many libel suits will Mr. Blaine bring now. For example will he sue James Gordon Bennett for saying of him in the Herald “As a friend he was false to his friends; as a swindler he was false to his associates, whom he aided in defrauding the government.’ This is highly libelious—ultra libellous. Let Mr Blaine try his hand at a libel suit against James Gordon Bennett. —L I. City Star.

Maguatisms.

‘Blaine is an important man for us to have to feel all right toward us.’—Caldwell to Fisher. ‘I have placed you in positions whereby you have received very large sums of money without one dollar of expense to you, and you ought not to forget the act on my part.’—Fisher to Blaine. ‘I will make it all right with you.’—Blaine to Fisher. ‘Taking into account the $10",000 bonds you sold to Tom Scott and the amount of money you received on the Eastern contracts, our relative positions financially in the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad bear a wide contrast.’ Fisher to Blaine. ‘My object in writing is to ask in season if your friends sire to establish a bank at Little Rock? It will be to some extent a matter of favoritism as to who gets the banks in the several localities, and it will be in my power to ‘cast an anchor to the windward, in your behalf if you desire it. —Blaine to Fisher. ‘You can do me a great favor, * * * I want you to send me a letter, such as the inclosed draft. * * * It will be a favor I shall never forget. * * * Regard this letter as strictly confidential. Do not show it to any one The draft is in the hands of my clerk, who is as trustworthy as any man can be. * * * Burn this letter,’-Blaine to Fisher. ‘I Do Not Feel that I shall prove a deadhead in the enterprise if I once embark in it.’—Blaine to Fisher. ‘Secreats Will Leak.’— Blaine, in House of representatives. ‘Burn this letter.’— Blaine to Fisher. On the 14th of July, 1884, Neal Dow, of Maine, wrote: ‘Blaihe is a friend ; > the proposed Constitutional amend ment and will vote for it.’ Blaine dodged the amei ment, Neal Dow, and wfc will do about it? Carl Schurz recently sa that Grover he esty is of that kind whicii makes not only honest, men his friends but rascals his enemies,
