Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 December 1885 — Page 4

Hfemocmfic Sentinel ffiIDAY DECEMBER 25, 1885.

‘‘Soldier” is very indignant hi our reference to the “offensive par. tisan” production in the Republican last week, and says: “He (McEwt n) attempts to say t 1 at Democrats “uid the fighting” and Republicans “the voting” during the rebellion.”

Yes, sir; and wc pointed to the fact that when the battle was on the Republicans rolled up their majorities by the tens ot thousands, at the ballot box; when the battle was off, and the boys in blue returned to their families and their homes republican majorities ceased. The cause is too plain to admit of argument.

The partisan bias of a “Soldier’’ prompts him to say: “ * * not a Democratic paper, not a Democratic politician, or any Democrat of note, could be lound in Indiana, or any oilier State, during those terrible tin.es, willing to allow the soldiers standing in the front tocast a ballot.”

Ah, w r ell, dear “Soldier”, every Democratic paper, every Democratic politician, and every Democrat of note, was in favor of per. mitting the soldiers to return to their respective homes to vote, and thus have the opportunity to cast a free and untrammeled ballot.

In the following statement a “Soldier” is decidedly unfortunate ia his effort to promote his partisan views : ‘We (Union Soldiers) cannot forget that for four yearr we were disfranchised by Democratic votes, placed on a footing with condemned criminals in our penitentiaries.’ W hen it is remembered during the period referred to in the extract the radical party was overwhelmingly in the ascendancy in the State Legisllatures and in Congress Democratic voters wearing the blue at the front—-and serves .to show the animus of the writer to be that of a bigoted, dishonest partisan. II ■ ‘so far presumes upon the igouorance of his readers as to offer the insult to their common sense” - a silly lie which a .moment s reflection wdl serve to explede. The extreme absurdity and falsity of the extract, so fains its application to the Democracy is concerned, has simply aroused the indignation of the Itepulican readers against the kid for being such a “damphool” as to reflect upon their intelligence in the publication of such stuff. The kid however can plead justification on the ground that he didn’t know any better. As a personal friend, we advise you to plead general stupidity, George. Your readers will entertain no other.

“Not a word in my communication * * *ma le any allusion whatever to, or claim for mvself.—Soldier,” Very true. You only referred in a very unsoldierlike manner to t he o'ficial report of a scholar, a gentleman of intelligence, a hrave and terribly crppled soldier,~-( The N. Y. Tribune, one of your political text-books, alludes to him as a piece of a man—his detatched pieces were left on the battlefields). You speak of him in terms unbecoming a comrade. Like a sok.i.er, Gen. Black attaches his name to his report—giving it the stamp of responsibility— and will produce the necessary letters and documents to make good the statements you denounced as false. Unlike a soldier you skulk behind an assumed name. We do not 1 know that you are a soldier. In fact we have the word only of yourself and our dear bosom friend of j the Republican. The characterises of a true soldier— courage? 1

no skulking behind an a su led name; broad and liberal in opinion; honest and truthful in dealing with the sentiments and actions o i comrades and others. Your uncalled for rude and violent at- j tack upon Gen. Black’s report display the characteristics of a nar-row-minded partisan.

If “the Republican had turned the matter off wdth a fool-born reference to the domestic matters of the editor of the Sentinel,” — Why, emanating from a “damphool” it would naturally be a positive and emphatfc “fool-born reference,” of course. The Plymouth, Ind., correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel thus alludes to the remarks of Judge Tnrpie be forejthe bar meeting at Indianapolis, concerning Mr. Hendricks: In all mv reading and listening I have never kn wn a more perf ct production in thought and language than Judge Turpie’s addrsse at the bar meeting in memory of Mr. Hendricks, The scholar, the lawyear, the orator, the critic, the friend, appear in absolute perfection; and 1 doubt if there is anothor mind in the state that could equal it. It must be read more than once to realize how perfect a qroduction it really is. Well, life, with all its cares, is worth living, to leave such a view when it ends as that which follows the ending of Mr. Hendricks’. Human history hardly has a more copleat illustration of the power, the wealth, the happy results there is in the un versal us a of pleasant words, the exhibition of an even temper, and a high sense of personal honor. Dollars and cents may not come in profusion, but all the money in the world, and all the learning, and all the official power, can not be so invested as to bring to any man, however intellectual he .ina / be, what honesty of purpose, kindness of disposition, pleasant .speech and studious habits brought to Mr. Hendricks. With no record as a professor, an author, a military hero or discoverer, or even a ruler, his fame was international, and on his death the ovations surpassed those given to tne so-called greatest among men and they were from the hearts of all the people, and not from pride, customs or conventionality or notoriety. They were the ultimate results of kind wnrds and acts’ honest effort and en - uring industry in the man himself. - The following is a reminiscence from a sketch of the late Gen. Toombs, of Southern fame: In a speech in the Senate on January 7, 1861, Mr. Toombs, speaking of tli > conditions the people of the Soudi would accept “for the sake of peace, permanent peace” said: “lam willing to take the proposition of Senators Crittenden as it was understood in committee, puiting the North and South on t e same ground, prohibiting slavery on one side, acknowledging slaverv and protecting i on the other, and applying that to all future acquisitions, so that the whole continent to the north pole shall be settled uo n the one rule and to the south pole under the other.”

The Republican party of the North were extremely reluctant at that time to accede to any comprmise. The following letter, written by Senator Z. Chandler, of Michigan, to Governor Austin B air, expresses the views of the Republican managers: “Governor Bingham and myself telegraphed to you on Saturday at the request of Massachusetts and Ne w York, to send delegates to tne Peace Compromise Congress, They admit ahat we were right and they were wrong; that no Republican State should have sent deligates; hut they are here and can’t get away. -Chi'-', Indiana anil RhoadIsiaiicl are caving in, and there is some danger of Illinois; and now they be~ un, for God’s sake, to <■ >me to thir rescue and save the Repnblican party from repture. I hope you wil send stiff-backed men, or none. The wh le thing was gotten up agai st my judgment and advice, and will ensijin smoke. Still I hope, as a matter of courtesy to some of our erring breathren, that yon will send the delegates. Some of the manufacturing States think that a fight would be awful. Witkont a little blood-letting this Union will not, in my estimation, be worth a cuse.”

Calcimining.

Calciminag is a vary Superior and elegant way of fini hiug a ceiling or wail It is qcite as easily done as the more common custom of whitewash--ng. Any housewife who can handle a wtlt<>WHsh-brnsh (the more skillfully the better) can preform the act quite as well a? the best professional. The material used is to be had at the drug-stores, and is called “calcimine” (kaolin prepared by the French method). For a ceiling, say fourteen feet by twenty-’wo two pounds are sufficient, and it will cost twenty cents, and it is prepared for use in the following manner- place your calcimine i a vessel of suitable size, then scald it with sufficient water o make it the consistency of hot mush; let it partly Cool; then thin down with skimmed milk to the proper consi-tency for use, “Skimmed milk’’ is best, as the fatty or butter part of new milk wonld poil the mixture. Observed these directions, and the material will bo ready for use. Anply with whitewash-brush This mixture: will work smoothlv, and not drag under the brush, as mest others mixrures'for whitewash It cao be colored to auto the taste of those using it, or bought, of differrent shades of color.
