RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA. FRIDAY, JUNE 7 1889

A NATIONAL DISHONOR.

Indianapolis News, republican: “Importunacy won’t help a man to get office in my administration,” said President Harrison, but, m spite of the warning, no administration has eyer borne and no country ever seen such fierce, fam? ishing, wolfish importuait of office* eeking us we have had in this country since the first of last March, and still have m little - abated audacity ’.nd tenacity. W - refer to it again, after many reprehensive references, because it is possible that importunity of reproach may have > little efteet, in time, in repressing what well deserves the name of “national dishonor,” an “American offense.” What must an intelligent, sensitive Am -riean feel when he reads the recent statemeat of Senator Quay,Jof Pennsylvania, that he is glad the report is abroad of a rupture retween him and the President, as it will largely rid him of the importunity of shameless office beggars. He says he is “constantly surrounded by an army of office seekers,” because of his supposed mflenee as Chairman of the lUpublican.National Committee with the President. He is “constantly in hiding when in Washmgtor,” says his friends, and “when he goes out has to put himself away out of sight m a close c rriage.” He “goes into and out of his lodgings by the back way” io keep clear of these beggars who are as audacious as tramps, and twice as importunate. Yet Air. Quay has no power of appointment, and no legal power of any kind, except as one of seventy or eighty men, who can prevent the President making a very lew appointments by refusing confirmation. Otaer Senators are doubtless persecuted as persistently. There are, probebly, a half million Americans serving the cause of bad manners and bad morals in this army of impudent intruders on the peace and quiet of decent public men, and they shame at least sixty-four mil'ion other /Imericans by the exhibition they make of themselves, and the sample it supplies to scandal of the quality of our people generally.”

. This “half million shameless office r oggars,” “impudent intruders/’ who keep Senator Quay engaged in the play of ‘hide-and-go-seek,” and who obtrude themselves “on the peace and quiet of decent public men,” no doubt all voted for Harrison. They are engaged in the same work that those who have eucceeded in securing plaae had been engaged in. They feel that they should be entitled to equal consideration with the relatives of the president and of his household, and with thp gons of Jingo Blaine, Ulysses S. Grant, and others who are treated as of royal blood.

This “half million shameless offiao beggars and impudent intruders on the peace and quiet, of decent public men” Lke Little Rock Blaine, cowardly Quay, who, “to keep clear of these beggars who are as audacious as tramps, and and twice as importunate, goes into and cut of «his lodgings by*a backway,” and others, were treated by Harrison et al., the News and the republican press, generally, as the sovereigns of the land. At the proper time they can resent, the nepotism of Harrison, and the slurs of the News and its ilk, and will display good sense in doing so. Let Benny feel your power. Let frhpn learn that there is a God in Is r ael. Richard F. Negley, a leading republican of Jfontana, has written a letter to the. president , in wlbch he sa>-s: It was the impertinent intermed-

dling of your son in Montaka politics that assured the democrats control of our constitutional convention. It was his bartering of federal offic.es in Montana, some of them for private gain, and others for private pique, that will permit the democrats to send a member of the house of i epresentatives and two senators to Washington next December. * ♦ * If you had considered the appointment of federal offices in Montana as a grave public trust devolved upon you by the constitution, instead of conferring it upon your son as a private perquisite, to be disposed of as he saw fit, democratic prospects in Montana would not now be so glowing. Pri ice Russell seems to be abmt as h6avy a load for the administration to carry as Dudley himself. His performances as an officebroker have been especially scandalous, but, as the St. Louis Republic well says, “he is merely a a part of the general disregard for the decencies and proprieties which characterizes this administration . ” However, if fie has been in any way instrumental in putting Montana into the democratic ranks we ean afford to view his offen ps charitably. —Indianapolis Sentinel.

An Honest Bench Is the First Requisite

Indianapolis Sentinel: The organ of Woods, Dudley and Carpenter sagely observes “that every election more and more demonstrates that local laws cannot be relied upon for honest elections. ” And the last electit n in Indiana has also demonstrated that the federal statutes cannot be ie!ied upon so long as a tool of corruption sits on the bench to “construe” them into nullities. An honest bencL is the first requisite to honest eleciions.

All desiring to move South are invited to investigate FLORENCE, ALABAMA. In the selection of a business location, a pleasant home is also desirable, and in no place will the intending settler meet with a more cordial welcome than is offered by the enterprising citizens of Florence, Alabama, and Lauderdale county. The soil is diversified and yields readily, as is shown by the variety and quick growth of crops, consisting of cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat, oats, sugarcane, Iso apples, peaehcs and grapes. Florence excels in beauty of location, being situated on the gently rolling plateau banks of the Tennessee River —navigable for the largest class of steamboats. The records show singular exemption from malarial diseases,and the mild temperature, pure air and water make it a desirable resort, both summer and winter, from the extreme heat of the South ond the rigorous cold of the North. Aside from this it is on the basal line of the new iron and ceal discoveries, and with abundant water-power supply, favorable transportation facilities, by rail and packet, and by virtue of clese proximity to valuable ores not found in other localities, Florence is destine* to become the metropolis of the State, and will necessarily concentrate the bulk of industries in this region. The country north of Florence is covered with a primeval gro vth of immense poplar, whitsoaks, maple, hickory, pine, and walnut trees, and within a few miles large quarries of beautiful marble ''re found. Building stone and limestone abound all over the county. Ths erection of the finest college building in the South was commenced May 13th, and at this time there are over 250 houses i . course of erection.

Was Shamed Into This Act “ot Grace.”

President Harrison’s. remission of th? fine and in the Coy case are explained by his organ as “simply an act of kindness bro’t about by the understanding that Coy had been robbed of his property during his. imprisonment by Sullivan, his partner in crime.” We rather suspect President Har - rison was’shamed into this act “of grace” by the spectacle pres* nted in Judge Woods’ court, where scores of election knaves have been set free by a reversal of the very ruling under which Floy was .con - victea and sent to the penitentiary. The offense with which Coy was charged did not affect, was not designed to affect, am’ could not possibly have affected the election of a representative in eongress. Yet Coy was convictedjunder the same section of thd revised statutes which Judge Woods held to be inapplicable to Carpenter, the wholesale vote-buyer of Shelby county, because it was not shown that is corrupt expenditures influenced the election of a congressman. Benjamin Harrison, reflecting upcn this outrageous jugglery with justice, doubtless felt that the least he could do was to remit the fine and costs in Coy’s case and permit him to go hence at the expiration of the time for which he was sentenced And it is curious to see that the very newspaper which for more than a year denounced President Cleveland bitteily because it pretended to believe that he contemplated extending clemency to Coy, applauds Harrison for his action!—lndianapolis Sentinel.

Interferes with the State’s [?]elfare.

Indianapolis News, republican: Governor Hovey is showing a mule like obstinacy in the case of the trustees for the Blind Institution that discredits I im, and wha- is worse seriously obstructs the public business and interferes with the State’s welfare. In sincerity of purpose he was not to be criticised for testing the validity of such appointments as these; but after the Supreme Court had spoken iu the case of .the Insane Hospital Trustees that should have ended all. Yet the Governor compelled the Blind Institution Trustees to sue, and they similarly being declared lawfully elected, he now chooses to exercise his right of appeal, 1 which will maintain the statu quo fer sixty days at least; and no one sees any of appealing but him. This is sheer stubbornness. It is opposition become fractious to the point of folly. Among its effects are the "etention of the old board at the Blind Institute, and the delay of the mush-needed addition to the building, to complete which when it shall be needed there is now barly time. The Governor should attend to business. Governor Hovey is A conceited partizan crank. Two frinds in youth mat on the streets of Waterbury, Conn., a few days ago f >r the first time in seventy years.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says:. “If the editor of The Sentinel were at liberty t z publish the names of the republican lawyers who have expressed to him in*, ir hearty disgust with Jadge Woods’ ourse, and their utter contempt for him as a man and as a j -»dge, it would be a startling revelation, sven to the besmirched jurist himself”
