Sentinel

FRIDAY JANUARY 8,188 G.

The p rtisan who sought, under the cloak of a ‘Soldier,” to breaK the force of the report of the Commissioner of Pensions, Gen. Black, by pronouncing it an ‘‘abominable ie„' etc., retreats ignominiously to his hole, leaving the “kid” solitary and alone in his ‘den’ making wry faces at the Sentinel. “Neither false statements * * nor senseless arguments * * can alter the indisputable facts of history.'’—Kid. • Just so, master ‘kid. The “indisputable facts of history” are: First —That dur ng the war the Republican party was in power in the National and State Governments. Second—That during the war the majorities for the National and State tickets were overwhelmingly republican. Third—That on the return of the “boys in blue” to their respective homes, at the close of the war, the above state of affaire was reversed, which establishes beyond dispute the fact that the majority of those in the Union army were Democrats. We agree with you, kid: “Neither false statements * * nor senseless arguments * * can alter the indisputable facts of history,” as above presented.— Here’s our Shake! Rebels Moseby, Longstreet, Ma” hone, Key, et. al., are “trooly loil!’ Fhe z are in full communion with the Repub ic u party; and are regarded with more esteem, by the kid, “Soldi r” and that ilk, than are Hancock, Black and Manson who shed their blood for the Union.

“McEwen has done much for the party, and nothing for the Uni- n.” Knd. lhe kid is what Artemas Ward would term an “amoosln’ little cuss.” He cen’t construct an item of three lines without indulging in contradictions. He should know that if we have “done much for the party, Democratic,it necessarily follows that we have also “done much for the Union,” but he don’tHis brain power is too limited. “McEwen is probably more confident of success than either of his competitors. The old mossbacks and bourbons of the party cleave to him as of one flesh with themselves, and are enthusiastic in his favor. There is also no question but that he has some very powerful friends anting the state leaders of the Democracy, and in fact, rather seems to have “the bulge” in the contest for the place. His appointment, however, will be gall and wormwood to the Democratic soldiers and their friends,” etc.—Kid. Pretty nearly corr ct; and yet he is unable to get off so short an item without a mis-statement. The last four lines contain the error.— Why, had we shown him’ the signatures of the “Democratic soldiers attached to our application his eyes would have had “the bulge” almost equal to that on the occasion when he saw what “They Say in the Remington News with reference to the establishment of another Republicatfpaper in Rensselaer. Two-thirds of the armsbearing members of our family were Democratic “uoys in blue during the war, and on their return home, with their ballots, helped to reverse the Republican ascendancy acquired through the ballots cf the “truly loil” stay-at-home Republican voters.

Geo. Grauel has moved into the property recently occupied F. W. Babcock, Esq. Ed. Sentinel: The would-be Encyclopedia of the Republican endeavors to give the people wh > chance to read his paper, very valuable news, in the article: “Figures from the Tax Duplicate,” which for errors, c mnot be excelled. He says, “Thus rnaki g the Auditor charged with the collection of a sum total of $86,408 80.” Who ever heard of the Auditor being charged with the collection of the Tax Duplicate? And the amount charged is $86,408 08. He undertakes to give, by townships, total valuation for taxation, and total taxes, and leaves out Union township with a taxable valuation of $193,940, and total tax of $5,170 90. we says the several Railroads pay $7,033 29 of tax, but to add the figures by townships, as he gives them, only make $6,798 59. Then, where is the Great Southern RailRoad, Pap Marshall? Taking it all, as published, where is the news for the public?

.We do not believe a copy of the Republican, of week before last, was mailed to the Goodland Herald, as Kitt, in his last issue makes no allusion to its assault upon him. The red rag has been waved before the eyes of our neighbor, and he gets after Hon. Fr-d Hoover in frantic style. When the facts are obtained, our Bro. Marshall will take back what he has uttered i n his wrath. We are inclined to think sombody has imposed upon his credulity.

Pennsylvania’s War Governor.

A contral figure ere just now is ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, the “War Governor” of the Aeystone State. Secretary Bayi rd is ma King a strong fight against him for the chairmanship of the committee on foreign affairs. Curtin is unpopular with Bayard because of his refusal to support that gentleman’s presidential aspirations. Curtin is a noticeable figure wherever he goes Tall, thin, straight as arrow, his clean-' ut features smoothly shaven, his hair white as snow, and his bearing that of a man of dignity and experience, he is always inquired about by the people in the gallery He is one of the few war governors of distinction who remain in public life. H* was one of the most brilliant young whig campaigners in Pennsylvania forty -ears ago and was the candidate of the repnblican party f r the governorship in 1860. Hi t campaign invol ed the election or defeat of Lincoln, as Pennsylvania wa . then an October Stat&and tlm pivotal State of the Union. He was elected by over 32,000, and Lincoln was thus assured of his election to the presidency. In 1863 he was renominated with little difficulty, and he was re-elect-ed by oyer 15,000 majority over the late Chief Justice Geo. W. oodward, then a justice of the Supreme Court. In 1869 Curtin was sent as Minister to Russia by President Grant, where he remained until 1872, when he returned home to espouse the liberal republican movement. He was met in Paris and again in London ou his way home, by men high in position, tendering him his choice of - iplomatic positions if he would consent to stay abroad. It was understood that he meant to break against the Grant power, and every effort was made to conciliate him, but without success, He came home, was nominated by the liberals as delegate-at-large for the Constitutional Convention, was afterward accepted by the democrats, ex-Governor Bigler retiring from the ticket ts open the way to Curtin s nomination, and he was, of course, elected. Tn 1875 he publicly rt.'d p ; democratic State ticket, and ia 1878 be was f ? d'iiiocr.'i to i'ae iid.de for Congress, 1 ut was defeated by republicans and greenbackers. In ’BO, ’B2 ami 84 he was el _cted to Congress, where he is now a central figure cn the democratic side.— Washington Letter.

The Curious Prof a-ion of a New Yorker. A pleasant, gray-bearded gentleman sat in a Sixth avenue elevated train, talking to a younger man. A reference to the occupation of the older man made him say: “Mine is an unusual business, bee here.” He pulled out a card, -f his name had been Henry Jackson, the card would have read: I HENRY JACKSON, I DEALER IN NAMES. I “Won’t you explain ?” said the younger man. “I buy and sell the addresses of people in all parts of the United States and Canada. There are hundreds of business men wh > reach their customers by circulars as well as by advertising in the newspapers. Thus a book publisher gets out a new book which he wants to sell through agents. He is anxious to learn the names and addresses of all the men and women in the United States who sell subscription books. He also wants the names of those who sell other goods in the same way, because they are very likely to drop the other article for the sake of the new book. Then he wants the addresses of the people who have never acted as agents, but who want to try it to see what they can do. He advertises for agents in a variety of papers, and at a pretty heavy expense. It costs him several cents for every letter of inquiry about his book that he receives. To that letter of inquiry he sends his elaborate circulars. I come to the relief of the publisher by selling him a very large number of agents’ addresses at a small part of the cost of getting them by advertising.” •How do you get them?" *Teu see every publisher has a list of agents whom he has employed at one tune and another. Nearly every one will sell me a copy of his list for a consideration. The combined copies make a formidable pile of manuscript. Then there are the novelty men who accumulate large lists of names of agents. Agents from one line of special names. Invalids from another.” “Not necessarily. Every community has a lot of people who are always buying medicine. They are the most valuable lot an advertiser can reach. The consumption remedy circular gives them a hacking cough and a* hectic flush. The blood purifier circular flushes them with eczema. So it goes through the list of chronic and acute ills that flesh is heir to. They will buy anything from beer and bark to a steam atomizer to doctor a sprained foot All these people at one time or another write to some advertising doctor or vender of the elixir of life. I buy the names from the advertiser, classify them according to the number of times the names have been used by medical men and the last diseases that afflicted the writers, and sell them over and over again. Sometimes I sell the original letters outright. The careful advertiser sometimes varies the character of the circulars sent according to the characteristics of the letter writer, even writing a personal letter in some cases.” “What other classes have you?” “ Two general classes. One for the sharpers and one for the general advertiser. The latter class is cosmopolitan, It includes all others, really, but it is made up mostly of farmers. “What prices do these names bring?” “I have got as high as $25 a thousand for names for sharpers’ use. Good lists of habitual invalids are worth all the way from $lO to S2O a thousand. Agents are so easily obtained that $lO is a big price; from $3 to $5 is ordinary. Gen-eral-use lists, copied from the letters, bring from $3 to $5 where they have not been mailed to more than twice. When mailed to oftener than that, and where a year or two old, they get down to a dollar a thousand.” “Are many in this business of yours?” “Not .continuously. They drop in, make a good thing, and straightway begin mailing circulars on their own account The number of actual addresses handled by me in one year has never exceeded, 1,000,000, but it has crowded that figure closely."—New York Sun.
