RENSSELAER. lASPEB COUNTY. INDIANA. FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 188«

The Indianapolis News (republican) gives its bloody-shirt brethren the following hard slap in the face:

It would become republican comment on public affairs to talk a ' ittle less about the “confederacy” and the “allies of the confederacy,” and that sort of thing. It won’t be “worth a cent” in votes, ?nd at this juncture if it does anything, calls attention to the fact that the “confederacy” stood for the honor and honesty of the government against as rascally a raid as was ever made on either.

The News has reference to the recent ‘deadlock’ in the House which prevented the passage of the bill to payback to the states the proceeds of the direct tax. — Our Billy Owen was in exceed ng haste to inform his constituency that he was wiling to put his endurance to the severest test in order to promote the success 'of “as rascally a raid as was ever nr de on the honor and honesty of the government.”

PILOT GROVE ITEMS.

With but few exceptions the farmers are through sowing oais. The wife our neighbor, Thomas Goouale'is dangerously ill. Mrs. Freeland, of Mt. Ayr, is visiting with her son-in-law Park Baldwin, of this place. Miss Lida Schanlaub will teach a three month term of school at No. 7. School opened last Monday. Miss Mary Wurthne' 1 , of Rensselaer, will teach music in this neighborhood during the coming summer. Mrs. Windier, from near Earl Park, visited last week relatives in thiskpla«e. Mrs D. Protzman is in lowa visiting her two sons, Frank and Albert. John D. Spohr, who has been dangerously ill with pneumonia, is not recovering as rapidly as could be wished. Quite a large force of men with their teams commenced grading last week on the new railroad which is to run from Momence t) Goodland. Morocco sa s ‘its a cornin’ sure,’ and laughs a low, sweet laugh in consequence thereof. Captain Jaok. Pilot Grove, April 23, 1888.

The Indianapolis News (republican) says “The Chicago Tribune sends this clear note of warning which Republicans, especially in Congress will do well to heed: The Tribune warns the Republicans of the House that they are getting themselves into a position that is giving their constituents i a the West a great deal of anxiety. None of the prairie agricultural States have any representative on the ways and means committee.— * * * Still the Democratic majority reported a bill which, while faulty in several details, embraces a general policy that would be highly advantageous and beneficial to western farmers and western people generally. If judiciously amended the bill could be made a great blessing to the country and no hardship would be inflicted on any honest class or any section. The Republican minority, instead of suggesting such amendments or preparing a substitute bill contented themselves with growling and snarling and performing the dog-in-the-manger act. Major McKinley, after having the wool pulled over his own eyes, tried to pull it over the eyes of others and make the country believe that the payment of tariff bounties to the big ranch wool syndicates of the Southwest was more important th n cheapening the price of woolen goods and clothing to sixty millions of consumers! Making this indefensible report and absolutely

refus’r- to l’ or assist in any reduction of tariff taxation, blunder was added to blunder when PigIron Kelley was allowed to open the debate in the House on Dehalf of the Republicans by roaring and ranting for free whisky and 80 per cent, suga” duties and denouncing all tariff reform as “free trade,” which he should have been rebuked on the spot. What do the Republican Congressmen from th Northwest suppose th* farmers sent them to Congress for? They have an unenvi >- hie and unusually fine opportunity to reduce taxation on the essentials of life and secure substantial benefits to their constituents and yet they seem helpless and blinded with McKinleyism and Kelleyism! Will none among them act a»d speak on behalf of the millions of Western farmers and make an honest, earnest effort to protect them by reducing taxation to reasonable limits?

AN OUTRAGE-A WORT[?]Y CITIZEN CANED.

Pleasant Ridge, ) Aprl 20, 1888. J On last Tuesday Harvey W. Wood, one of -’asper’s best citizens, was induced by a neighbor, presumably in the conspiiacy, to accompany him on a fishing excursion. After spending some time along the banks of the classic “Big Slough,” and m>t meeting with much success among the Dog-fish, they concluded to return. While Mr. Wood was plodding along, no doubt trying to arrange a plausible “fish story,” he suddenly came in sight of his home, only to behold tha it had be°n invaded in his absence, and his house and grounds in the possession of over one hundred persons, ambiacing all sexes and ages. Hurrying forward to learn the cause of this invasion, he had hardly entered his home when he was set upon with a cane, a hatchet and a pocket-book unfortunately empty. Explanations following, it was learned that it was Mr. Wood’s fiftieth birth-day anniversary, and tha,t the friends had assembled to surprise him and join in the eelebration of his semi-centennial. — The surprise was complete. The cane, a beautiful gojd-headed ebony, appropriately engraved, and the pocket-book were presented, with neat littlegspeeches, by Lis neighbors. The hatchet was a present frem his venerable n other, who had doubtless read the legend of George Washington, wished to keep the reminder before her boy, and have him grow up a truthful man if every cherry-tree on the farm shouldjbe destroyed. The invaders had brought their commissary with them —full rations of everything inviting were served, and the dav spent in general enjoyment. In the evening the premises were taken possession of by the young people, who “held the fort” until the “wee sma’ hours,” and it is needless to say enjoyed themselves. It was a day long to be remembered by all present, and especially by Mr. Wood and his estimable wife, as an earnest of the esteem in which they are held, and of the large number of sincere friends it is their happy lot to possess. * * *

Try those white pickled onions, at Duvall’s. The uses of adversity are sometimes sweet, indeed. Frotheringham, the express messenger who was charged with rebbing his own car in Missouri two years ago, has been given judgment against his accusers for $20,000. This is really more profitable than robbing a very ripe express car. Goto Duvall’s and get pure early rose seed potatoes. A Wichita baker displays the sign “Eight Loves for sl.”

Attention! Soldiers of Indiana

During the war of the rebellion, by the most solemn promises, the Govern, ment of the United States undertook to deal justly with those who became the defenders of the nation, la the main these promises were faithiuay Kept until the repeal of the arrearage clause of the act providing for the pensioning those who were disabled from wounds received in battle, or from disease contracted in line of duty in the service. This repeal was justified only upon the theory tjiat such action was necessary t) enable the government to maintain the resumption of speie payment. This necessity no longer exists, and the coffers of the Government now justifies a re-enactment of the law as it stood before its repeal, while equal and exact justice demands that every soldier who is entitled to a pension for wounds received in battle or disease contracted while in line of duty should receive the same from the date of nis honorable discharge. Such was the treatment accorded to those who filed tjieir applications prior to July Ist, 1880. ft does not become a great nation toplead the lapse of time against its defenders and preservers. For the of discussing these questions, and to take such action as may be deemed necessary to promote the re-enactment ofthese laws in question, all soldiers oj Indiana, whether affected by these laws or not, will meet at Indianapolis, on May 3, 1888. There will be a meeting of the soldiers of Jasper county, at the Court House in Rensselaer, Saturday, April 28, 1888, at 1 p. m., for the purpose of appointing delegates to the convention above mentioned to be held in Indianapolis, May 3d 1888.

The Plantagenet l line of English kings began with Henry 11. and ended with Richard 11., occupying the throne of England for nearly two and a half centuries—that is, from 1154 to 1399. Shakspeabe and Cervantes died on the same day—April 23, 14J16,
