RENSSELAER, JASPEB COUNTY, INDIANA. FRIDAY MARCH 5, 1886.

A REAL ORATOR.

A Few Paragraphs From the Speech of Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, on the Silver Question. Would you take the country again through that Talley of the shadow of death? Would you reteat again that experience so full of lamentations and mournings and woes? If you would, listen to the soft, sweet notes of the siren as she sings from the vaults of the Nati nal bankers about dishonest dollars. Drive out into banishment the old silver dollars of our fathers; call in the silver certificates; retire all the Treasury notes; mate money so scarce that the poor bankers in New York can buy a bushel of wheat for a dime, a pound of cotton for a penny; make it impossible for people to pay their debts; make labor so cheap that working people can only earn enough to pay interest to mo-ney-lenders and taxes to support the Government, and you will see again the return of that night with all its horrors intensified. Sir, let the man who lives by the sweat of his trow, and his representative here, be not deceived by the shams and false pretenses that are thrown around this measure, that is filled to the brim with the dir st of consequences to millions of people. Let the laborer remember, and write it on his wristlets, carve it on his frontlets, and wear it as an amulet over his heart, that scarce money is his sleepless and unforgiving foe, a foe whose bosom never swells with a sigh of sorrow, whose eye never moistens with a tear of pity. No one can den that it increases the burden of debt which labor must pay. No one c m deny that it makes the lifo struggle darker and haroer. One of the most distinguished advocate of the suppression of silV*r has but recently«aid if we stop coining silver that the act will be a drag upon the production and that suffocation and strangulation are words not too strong to express the agonies of a people who are encircled in the coils of the gol en serpent. And yet, with our eyes open and looking down into this abyss of hv.man suffering that yawns before us, we ar? entreated and importuned to drag the country to the edge of the precipice and plunge it into the tortures and agonies of contraction to satiate the lust for gold. Sir, history has recorded on its pages every kind of scourge that has been sent upon mankind from the hand of his fellow, and it has carved the names of the guilty wretches on its pillory where they stand before the eyes of each recurring generation to suffer the execration due the atrocity of the crimes. It tells of Nero vainly struggling to extinguish the truths of Christianity by lighting the streets of Rome with the burning bodies of her missionaries; of Tamerlane discussing philosophy w : th the sages of Aleppo while his savage soldiery were gathering the heads of his slaughtered foemen into monumental piles to please the eye of the royal invader; it tells of Lhilip 11. sacking, burning and butchering the inhabitants of the Netherlands, loyal to his kingdom and crown, because they elected to worship at the shrines where conscience bade them kneel; it tells of the obliteration as Poland, the partition of its territory, the banishment and confinement of its unhappy people in the caves of Siberia by the sceptered robbers of Russia, Prussia and Austria; it tells of the conquest and long-continued oppression and robbery of Ireland by the Kings, Parliaments and people of England for 500 years, and that in the face of the remonstrances of all Christendom still stretches her victim on the bed of torture. But in all the wild, reckless, and remorseless brutalities that have marked the footprints of resistless power there is some extenuating circumstances that mitigates the

severity of the punishment due to the crime. Some have been the product of the fierce passions of war, some from the antipathy that separates alien races, some from the superstitions of opposing religions. But the crime that is now sought te be perpetrated on more than fifty millions of people comes neither from the camp of a conqueror, the hand of a foreigner, nor the altar of an idolator. But it comes from those in whose veins runs the blood of a common ancestry, who were born under the same skies, speak the same language, reared in the same institutions, and nurtured in the prin isles of the same religious faith.— t comes from the cold, phlegmatic, marble heart of avarice.—avarice that seeks' to impale the whole land on a bed of torture to gratify the lust for gold —[applause]—avarice surrounded by every comfort that wealth can command, and rich enough to satisfy every want save that which refuses to be satisfied without the suffocation and strangulation of all the labor in the land. With a fo v head that refuses to be ashamed h demands of Congress an act that will paralyze all the forces of production, shut out labor from all employment, increase the burr! en of debts and taxation, and send desolation and suffering into all the homes of the poor. In this hour, fraught with perd to the whole country, I appeal to the unpurchased Representatives of the American people to meet this bold and insolent demand line men. Let us stand in the breach and call the battle on, and never leave the field until the people’s money shall be re dored to the mints on equal terms with gold as it was years ago. [Prolonged applause.]

Greenback Convention.

Convention met in Rensselaer, February 6th, 1886, by call of the Chairman of the County Central Committee. On being called to order D. H. Yeoman was elected Secreta v y pr . tern. Dr. Samuel W. Ritchey read the following preamble and resolution which was ordered spread on the record: A s the money debt and labor questions are the leading questions of the day, as indicated by the action of the present Congress to suppress the coinage of silver and establish a single “gold standard,” and as the two old parties —Democratic and Republican—are substantially a unit on these questions, each furnishing men on either side of the great standard metals: And as the agitation in Congress will greatly enlighten the ueople in all sections of the country, whatever the final action may be —Therefore, Resolved, That this is a good time to reorganize the great “National Greenback Labor Party,” which was badly defeated in the most wicked and demoralizing canvas of 1884, partly through the defect or desertion of half-seated or loosely attach j ,d adherents, who were easily drawn back to their old parties through hatred of their old opponents, the promise of money, and speedy relief from all their troubles, and more thiough the stupid blindness of the masses of the old parties to the real issues in dispute, through the designed knavery of party leaders who looked to nothing but success and resulting offices, honor and money. This party, though trodden under in ’B4, was not crushed out. The true men r> f the party yet stand fast and united on the true principles of Finance, Labor and Good Government. At present we may tolerate tiu Gold and Silvr Dollar on a perfect equality in all respects, and the payment of the public debt as fast as possible in any money on hands. We will build up this party by all lawful m ans, and as all good principles seem naturally to affiliate, we ask all good persons and parties to unite with us as Knights of Latysr, Prohibitionists, Woman Suffragists, <fcc., iot to compromise, but to build up apar-

ty opposed to all monopolies and oppression, and to bring the ‘people of all classes nearer a more perfect eqality. Mr. Farmer discussed the questions of Prohibition and Finance, and was followed by Dr. Pitchey. The convention then proceeded to select the following Central Committee to serve the ensuing year: Hanging Grove —Leroy Nolan, Mr. Appleger. Wheatfield —Aug. Stimsou. Barkley—Frank Moore. Union —B. W. Harrington, R. Swaim. Newton —Jonathan Pan cost. Marion —W. C. Pierce, Wm. E. Moore, Jas. W. Pierce, Clint. D. Stackhouse. Jordan—Noah Littlefield, Howard Burr, W. H. Ritchey. Carpenter—Basil Hunt, John Jordan, Chris. Hardy, E. E. Rockwood. The Convention then adjourned. JAS. WELSH, Chairman. D. H. Yeoman, Sec’y pro. tern.

Tribute to a Mother.

Capt Jack Crawford, the noet scout, pays the following eloquent tribute to his mpther: “I had a Christian mother, my earliest recollection of whom was kneeling at her side praying God to save a wayward father and husband. — That mother taught me to speak the truth when a child, and I have tried to follow her early teachings in that respect. It would require a much larger book than this to tell the story of my liie and the sufferings of one of God’s good angels—my mother. To her I owe everything—truth, honor, sobriety and my very life. Her rpirit seems to linger near me always; she has been my guardian angel. In the comp, the cabin, the field and the hospital, on the lonely trail hundreds of miles from civilization, in the pine-clad hills and lonely canyous. I have heard in the moaning night winds and in the murming streamlets, The voiee of my angel mother whispering soft a.dlow. 1 “And these sacred thoughts have made me forget at times that there was danger in my pathway. Nor will I ever forget The day that we parted, mother and I, Never on earth to meet again; She to a happier home on high. I a peer wanderer on the plait., “That day was perhaps the greatest epoch in my life. Kneeling by her be H side, with one hand clasped in mine, the other resting on my head, she whispered, ‘My boy, you k ow your mother loves you. Will you give me a promise, that I may take it up to£heaven?’ ‘Yes, yes, mother, I will promise you anything.’ ‘Johnny, my son, lam dying,’ said she, ‘promise me you will never drink intoxicants, and then it will not be so hard to leave this world,’, Dear reader, need I tell you that I promised ‘yei’; and whenever I am asked to drink, that scene comes up before me and I am safe.”

John Johnson, living a few miles northeast, was in town Monday, enjoying a periodical spree. He started home late at night, but being overcome by whiskey, “laid down by the wayside.” Ab at two o’clock he stumbled into Bowdy’s house, his hands and feet badly frozen. We could not learn late particulars of his condition but it is reported that his feet are so badly frozen that they will have to be amputated. A pity that the man .who sold him the whisky cannot be made to pay his doctor bills and support him the remainder* of his life. —Goodland Herald. This is the same John who was stabbed nigh unto death here last winter. John seems determined to let whisky “do him up” in some shape.—Remington News. Surgeon Gen’l Hamilton think i choDra will get no foothold in America this year. GoocU delivered at all point# in j Rensselaer, from the Chicago Grocery.

Remington News: Miss Mary Jacobscn, a young woman of Kentland, is dying by inches of starvation. Her p.tlral condition is the re ult of an attempt to commit suicide by drinking concentrated lye last July. The fiery liquid ate away the lining of the throat and stomach, so that it is impossible for the unfortunate to swallow or retain any solid tood, and is only kept alive by injeitions of beef tea, etc. Her sufferings are excruciating in the extreme and she is a pitifully emaciated- object. It seems that Miss Jacobson has always had a mania for self-destruc-tion and this is her fourth attempt in that direction, lo her, death would certainly be a welcome messenger.

Ex-Sheriff John W. Powell has leased the Halloran Livery and Feed Stables, and respectfully solicits a liberal share of the public patronage. Judge J. W. Bulger, the inventor, is at work on a sleeping car that will knock the traveling public out when completed In a letter to a friend connected with the Pullman Company he gives a lengthy description of this wonderful car. Following are a few of its many features: Every passenger in the c r can have the windows all open or closed as he may choose. All snorers are to be chloroformed by an ingenious application and aroused automatically at the end of the journey. Crying babies dropped into a receptacle at the bottom of the car and are shortly afterwards shot up through a shaft into their mother’s arms smiling, with a stick of candy and a chromo in each haud. The longwinded story teller can have an admiring audience, not one of which will hear a word he says, but all will seem to give a smiling assent to his improbable tales. Fifty ladies can simultaneously each occupy exclusively the total room.— There will be a palatial bar-room, where the choicest drinks and the latest slang will be furnishqd by the immaculate bartenders Directly opposite the bar-room will be a temperance and lecture-room. No obnoxious porters are to be carried, the beds being made automatically. The car will be known as the “Consolidated, expanded, concentrated patent combined vehicle.”
