Bell Ringers Coming Next Week.

Harr f oil's attorney -general ear | giye vaJ aat/le aid to Judge Woods in his defence of Dudley. Evidently Harrison don’t intend that the mover of “blocks of five’' shall be punished therefor. r i he Republican does not establish the reali/y of its inuendo that D Lmocrats urgad the young man it referred to to vote. The Republican was fishing for a little political capital. —— ...,. HoraceE. James is now associated in the mangement of the Hammond Tribune, a Republican paper. The political evangelists who c 1 aimed to have converted him to the Democratic faith evidently failed. - ’♦<►■■■ Harrison .was elected and the blessed 47 per cent, tariff is not in jeopardy. All thesiine, wages are being reduced in the protected industries all ovol the country,— Harrison shonld now explain to the employes of the protected industries. Six thousand weavers at Fall River have struck ior an advance m wages. They were promised that if Harrison was elected and the wicked Mills bill was beaten, wages would go up, and it is quite natural that they should insist upon the contract being carried out. The fifty mills which are closed by reason of the strike are eloquent in refutation of the lying tariff documents circulated by the republicans during the late campaign.

At liis home in this city, on March 10, 1889, afte .* nine days’ illness, Thornton J. Hoover, aged 18 veais, 1 month and 15 days. Deceased was born in Ross county, 0., rnd at. the age of five years moved to Indiana, locating in IV arren county, and subsequently moving to Jasper eotfnty. He came to Attica in 1866 and ol .February 7, 1877, was united in marriage to Mrs. Emma Mentzer btewart The result of this union is a daughter, Thornie, now 9 years old. A father’s love was never stronger and such filial devotion hus never been surpassed. A bond of lov? encircled the home that made it a palace of happiness, and around it lingers a memory of family love and devotion which, though it drapes the heart in mourning leaves in the mind a pleasant recollection that death oloue can efface. Mr, Hoover was for a number of years a successful merchant in this city and, by economy and judicious investments, accumulated a competency. Iwo years ago he retired from active business life. Thornton Hoover wa > a man of honor, the most devoted of husbands, au affectionate father, a good eitize u Peace to his ashes, and may the weeping wife and daughter find in the universal sympathy extended them some relief from the great sorrow they have been called upon to bear. □ The funeral services at the residence on last Tuesday afternoon, Revs. G. R. Streeter and Wa. Kraft officiating. The bu.’ial services were in charge of the Knights of Honor lodge of this city, ot which the deceased was an honored member.—Attica Led Ber. . The subject of the above notice

was a son of the late Alfred Hoover, of this township, and was well and favorabl / known to many of our citizens. His mother and brother, Wm. M., reached his bed side before his death. The Lodge of Knights ot Honor, or Attica, recognize his sterling worth, and their irreparablelo ss, in appropriate resolutions. The Legislature just adjourned accomplished a vast amount of good work. So soon as the people become acquainted with what it has done, they will give credit where it belongs—to the Democratic membe is, and to the Indianapolis Sentinel for reminding them day after day what the Democracy was expecting at their lands.

Even the Democrats, after a quarter of a century deprivation, did not rush witji such fierceness for the spoils t hat the Republicans have shown already after a four years’ famine. It shazes one’s faith almost in popular institutions to see with what fury the mob comes pourmg in after a few places, to secure which many times the emoluments y.elded ar j spent in advance. What is it that makes this hurger for a public office? Are we, after all, under the name of a Republic, simply the same worshipers of place and title, who in other countries are calculated on and provided for by law that creates rankjand caste?Indianapolis Ns vs (republican.)

As usual, the Anon Swiss Bell Ringers were greeted with a crowded house, and they presented a progrsm which was nearly all new, and interesting throughout. Ihe bel)-ringing was good and so was the vocal and instrumental music, while Jimmie Fields, in his numerous comic characters, fully sustained his well-earned name, “The Prince of Comedians.” The trained canaries attracted special attention, and are worthy of special mention, as it was a novelty to see these beautiful little songsters so tractable and obedient to the voice they knew and loved. The entertainment was pleasing throughout, and was si gularly free from offensive language, nothing bordering upon vulgarity being admitted in any of the various roles. We can commend this troupe and their entertainment to all.—Madison (Wis.) Evening Herald. Will give an entertainmeut at the Opera Honse. in Rensselaer, Wednesday evening, March 20th.
