ID AY APEIL 29 1887 Bitered at the postofllce at Rensselaer, Ind.i as second-class matter.)
Maj. Jonathan W. Gordon, for many years a prominent citizen of Indianapolis, well and favorably known over the State, died in that city on Wednesday last, in the 67th year of his age. The anniversary entertainment of the I. O. O. F at their hall in Rensselaer was largely attended by members and invited guests, and the program for the occasion was executed in a manner highly gratifying to all present. “Justice,” in this week’s Kentland Democrat goes for “our Simon” with an exceedingly sharp stick—a pointed one in fact. He is not at all “bashful” on Simon’s account; and it behooves our Senator to meet him with proper regard and deference. Plainly—- “ Justice” will not be driven from the discussion by “bluff.” '
'Hie Indiana Senate adopted a resolution, at Ls late so sion, authorizing the appointment of a committee having for its object the investigation of the management nrd condition of the benevolent instil ations of the State. A self-con-stituted partisan committee had gotten up a partisan report for use in the last campaign, and Ben Harrison and the republican orators and press employed it for all there was*in it. In his advocacy of the resolution for the appointment of the committee, President Smith said: ‘‘W hat could be more in place than to attempt to throw light upon accusations which were made in the last campaign. * * * * 1 &ay that the time is well -spent. The people want to know whether W. D. Foulke wrcne lies whic Ben Harrison assiduously spread,’' etc. The committee appointed comprised a fair representation of Republicans. We commence the publication of its report to-day, to be concluded next week. Read it.
BOASTING OJT VICTORY. By request we yield space to the following description of the contest for Marshal in the radical conwen tion Monday evening. It is the production of one who took an active part in cembining the various elements against the prii cipal candididate in the race. In his statement he admits that it required a consolidation of the mu rwump supporters of Reeve with the various other factions to deieat Warren: A Republican caucus was held at the Court House last Monday evening and a battle was fought with the ballot. Generals Platt, Passons, Reeve and Wood led the allied forces. On the second ballot General Platt fell back and ployed skirmishers. On the third ballot General Passons fell back reinforced Platt. The enemy was still gaining ground when, on the fourth ballot, General Reeve fell bacK and secured position with Platt and Passons On the fifth ballot the Platt, Passons and Reeve combination routed the enemy out of their camp, and left H. Wood in command. The enemy retreated in good order and Gen. H. Wood holds the field. We were not fighting the General of the enemy but the staff of the General. SOLDIER. How Reeve and bis supporters could be permitted to particpate in that convention is beyond our ken. The r suit is evidence that They held the balance of power.
COMPLETE REFTTAL.
[Continued from Bth page.]
two instances, that of a woman by the name of Dallas and a man by the name of Knorr. It is proper to state fn this connection that the State ought to build about the institution a high, strong fence. This has not been done because of a want of money. Neither ar*-, there sufficient attendants, because of the lack of means, to properly guard the patients and pr went escapes. The Dallas woman disappeared in a very mysterious way. Every effort was made in her case, and also in the case of Captain Knorr, to recapture and to learn their whereabouts; but notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts and the expenditure of large sums of money, the hospital authorities were unsuccessful. In view of the large number of patients who are daily taken out for exercise on the grounds of said Institution, it seems practically lmpossible,to avoid an occasional escape, and especially inasmuch as the Institution is not protected by a prop er fence. It is far more important, however, rhat the slight chance of an occasional escape should be incurred than that the 1 ;rge number of patients should be denied proper outdoor exercise. It is the ooinion of numerous witnesses vho have known that institution intimately for years, running back as far as eighteen years, that the patients are better treated by the attendants, and that the attendants as a class are better than they have ever been before in the Institution, and that Dr Fletcher especially has insisted upon the kindest treatment possible toward the patients.

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE.
AS ONE PAPER PUTS IT. The Indianapolis News says of it self: The News is independent in p 1Lies; not nsutial; however. It is not the organ of auy party, but exercises the right to criticise the men aud measures or either, party, advocating what it believes rignt, and for the interest of the whole people, regardless of who it tuay help or hurt. The Mews strives to please only by giving all the news, aud telling the truth as it sees it. In editorial opinion it makes no effort to please ai.y but itself. The editor receives the same rignt of individual judgment accorded o others. What the intelligent subscriber wants is the netvs without partisan bias and then he willfoim his own opinion.
OUR WEALTHY MEN.
Much has been said in newspapers of men who have mane large fortunes in comparatively a few years in various business industries. Mny of these articles are written by eorres pondents of prominent newspapers, and 3opied into oth rs of ;ess«r Correspondent* generally ur« seldom meu of business qualifications and wrongfully picture the** men and their business as a thiDg of aceideut: this is not the case with those we have met W find that where men have made large fortunes by their own business talent and industry they ehose with sagaaity and forethought such businesses as would lead to success when handled with business jud_> meat. No man has been brought before the public as an example of sue cess, both in wealth and niucuitude of his business (outside of stock and railroad men) more prominently thaw G. G. Green, of Woodbury, N. J. JJe is at thd head of many lar. e business industries, and yet comparatively a young man. When the fact »hat An gust Flower, for dyspepsia and lver complaint, and Boscbee’a German Syrup, for coughs and lung troubles, has grown to a wonderful sale in all part* oi the world it proves that it was not en accideot or spontaneous strike at wealth.

UNION ITEMS.
Plenty of grass, and cattle doing welL Ducks and geese are becoming rather scarce. Dr. J. H. Loughridge is making a new board fence in front of the house, on his ranche in the northern part of this township. D. W. Shields brougkt a small herd of cows from Marion township to pasture on his farm in Union. Cornelius Shea has so’d his interest in the saloon building at Fair Oaks to John Remley. The prayer meetings at Brushwood are generally well attended. Rev. McKinley preached at Brushwood school house last Saturday and Sunday evenings.

John Clager and Andrew Arnold, of Barkley township, Thos. Swaim, of Carroll coonty, and Frank Warren are now residents of Fair Oaks, and Christopher Swaim will become a ciiizen this week. Evidently Fair Oaks is on the boom. A grocery, dry-goods and store, and bl'acksmith shop would do well to locate at that point. Dr. Loughsidge has Completed his fence in section live. It enclos s all the section except that part owned by t). W. Shields. John Guss, jr., has lost seven bead of cattle this winter.
Ben McColly lias sold bis house in air Oaks. We have not learned the name of the-purchaser. Will some of the assessors of -Jasper county inform us how the feat is accomplished whereby lands worth $25 per acre i s assessed at $ and $lO, while the poor man’s $25 cow is assessed at its cash value. The standard of valuations is undoubtedly in the interest of large landholders. Why not make a dollar invested in real estate \ ay as much tax as an equal amount invested in persona] property The people of Union and other northern townships would like to know why the County Commissioners will build a seven hundred dollar bridge across a big ditch over which the average Jasner county bull-frog coal jump with
ease. v There will be a new ditch made in this township, commencing on the kd. John land and emptying into the big ditch on Stephen Comer’s arm. The entire length of the ditch will be between three and four n lies. John S. Blomberg has a store room to rent at Fair Oaks.

Very Remarkable Recovery. Mr.Ceo: V. Willing, of Manchester, Mich , writes: ‘My wife lias been almost five years, so helpless that sue could not turn over in the bed alone.
