FRIDAY MAY 20 1887

Ei teied at the postoffiee at Rensselaer, Ind., as second-class matter.)

Wm. M. Hoover did not go to Indianapolis, a announced by the Message man, to| “attend tie unveiling of the monument in commemoration of xhe renowned Schuyler Colfa , who stood prominent among the ablest advocates of the Republican doctrines when they were s,nonymsof pairiotism and loyalty and progress.” In fact, he did. not go to Indianapolis at all. The assumption by Horace that “Republican doctrin -s” ever “were synonyms of patriotism and loyalty and progress,” is rather far-fetched. The Monticello Herald has a heavy contract on hand. It assumes the defense of Secretary of State Griffin for Iris failure to publish the financial report with the enactments of the last Legislature, as required by theconstitut ion, and says “the fact is he (Griliin ) is not responsible for the omiss jn. The neglect is due to democratic officials, ho failed to get the data for such a report in the hands of the State Secretary,” etc. State Auditor Carr went into the office January ‘2d, and it was his duty to compare ami verify the r ‘port of the .State Treasurer, if it had not been, done by his pre uecessor. Ail official work left undone by an official must be c mpleted by his successox. Auditor of State Carr is a republican.— Lemcke, republican Treasurer of St to assumed the duties of his office February 10, with the statement of public accounts made by State Auditor Carr. If Mr. Candid not verify the accounts of the ex-State Treasurer, how did he make a statement of settlement for Mr. Cooper? Concerning this matter, the Indianapolis Sentinel gets after the Secretary of State with the following point, d interrogatories: Why did not the Secretary of State publish the Auditor of State’s report for the year ending October 31,188->, and then add: “The Auditor of State has no report for 1886, if he could do so without < ing? M hy has State Auditor Carr retained th State Treasurer’s report in his office since January 26, 1887, without verif yingit? And then goes on to say: There were doubtless several reports for the year ending Octo ber 31, 1886, that came into the Auditor’s office a iter the expiration of Mr. Rices’s term; all of which had to be v rifled by Mr. Carr \ll repn-ts go first to the Governor, and by him are referred to t e State Auditor that the account of any expenditure therein may be verified. The Audi or compares them with the books in n:s offiie and ratifies the it ..em nts if correct. Thore was s / much talk during the campaign about Mr. Cooer's books th it it now strikes the average citizen as strange that this roport which had been referred to the State Auditor by Governor Gray, was not taken up and verified, especially as the January statement had to b* signed by Mr. Carr and Mr. Lemcke had to settle w-i h M-. Cooper by T. The Legislature continued in session until March, 1887. Mr. Carr went into office January 26,1887. The report of Mr. Cooper, therefore, could have been verified bv Mr. Carr and sent to the printer in time to have it printed and sent to the Gen-ral Asseinblp. The Sentinel concludes thuslv: We have about c:me to the conclusion, however, that the omis sion of the financ’al statermn 1 ; fro n in d rect viobi'ion ot .um lim o'-ovis on of the Cn - was, -a the language cf

Shakspeare, “a knavish piece of work,” of which it does not require much philosophy to find out the motive. Mr. Cooper settled in full and on time, thus giving the lie to the Republican campaign charge, so often made by the Journal, that Mr. Cooper would not settle. And it seems that the Secretary of State’s office—which is a hatchery of Republican conspira y —has been used to prevent the public from officially learning that the financial books of the Statshowed the Republican campaign charge to have been utterly false. We again repeat that the Secretary o State deserves impeachment for misdemeanor in the discharge of pul lie trust. ■ • -« • »- A pleasant surprise was given Mrs. W. C. Pierce at her residence on Vanßensselaer street, Wednesday afternoon of last week, it being a birthday anniversary. Her children and friends assembled in goodly numbers, a sumptuous feast was prepared, and mementoes of Jove and affection presented.— Among those present was her son John L. Pierce, Esq., and his family, of Lebanon, Ind. ■ W » The coal barons who control the ai thracite production of this country and who have just ordered a cessation of mining for a week so that demand will catch up with supply without disturbing prices, will continue to doXthis until the law takes hold of/them. The Philadelphia Record puts it thus: Last Oct *ber the commonwealth attempted to interpose its authority for the protection of the people; but so long as the courts delay decisions ami hesitate to expound the la w-, so long must consumers suffer. The fi esides of Phi’adelphia pay 83,000,000 a year as a tribute to the combination of producers and carriers that regulates coal prices. The tax upon the eastern and middle states exceeds 820,000,000 a year, and this tax will be levied U“on them until they shall drive from public place those corrupt men of both parties who use their official positions to obstruct the enforcement of sound laws. \\ hen three small contractors conspired tocheatthe people they were quickly hustled into ja’l. When seven powerful corporations did a simila’- thin" the arm of the law became pal tied. «*...*• • ————

The Philadelphia Record has this vigorous and pregnant comment upjii a recurring coi .ition of things: A few grasping and unscrupulous capitalists in Chicago have boomed another enormous consp’rac to increase their gains by cornering th ' wheat mar et and making dear the bread of the poor. Is it strange that Chicago is the of so many labor outbreaks 1 ? The monopolists, who use their vast wealth to artificially increase the cos* of the necessaries of living, and the anarchists who live by prov king at'acks on society, belong to the same breed. By a law of evolution the Chicago b-ea/l monopolist begets the Chicago anarc ,ist. is a good dea, in t mt Tint is worth thinking .-.bout twic« on the part of every c.tizen v ho beer 8 in his heart t ’.e burden of this country’s freedom end self ' overnme it.

NEWTON TOWNSHIP. The school house at Saylorville was unable to hold the crowd that came to the graduating exercises last Saturday night. The house was packed as it was a year ano, to the utter-most, while there were fully as xfiany more in the yard, endeavoring to hear through the door and windows. Tue graduates read their essays as follows: “Thought,” Della Thornton; “The Art of Printing,” Blanche Hoyes; “Punctuality Procures Confidence,” Flora Sayler, “Reading”, Laura Yeoman; “Necessity for an Education,” Dema Hopkins; “Rise and Progress of the United States,” Horace Henkle.

Fortythree pupils of the township had been perfect in attendance and punctuality for the past year and received their rolls of honor, while Lemuel Henkle, Delia Thornton and Augustus Yeoman received the silver star in honor of hav - ing been neither tardy nor absent at school for live year-'.
