RENSSELAER. JASPEB COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY J ULY 18. 1890.

The Warsaw Indienian, Repu b lican, says, “It is impossible to publish a paper to suit everybody, and the only way to punish its publishers for their inability to do so is to boveott them. At least w that is the plan pnrsued by some people.” Whereupon the Rochester Republican says, “If Gen. Williams is in need of spmpathy we might add that we are in a position to extend a liberal share of it. Every editor of any considerable ability; every newspaper that occupies advanced ground in mat** ters pertaining to the good of the party, the communityjand the people generally places itself in a position *o bo antagonized by those who want to be recognized as posrsessing ideas worthy of recognition. There are but few persons who deem themselves capable of advising or elevating one occupymg a public office, but there are many who will not pass an opportunity to pull him down. All battles waged by political enemies are every way dosirable, but to be assassinated in the dark by men who are personally friendly in the day time causes one to mistrust even those to whom the greatest favors have been extended.” Whoßd fault is it? Strike back, gentleme i, strke back. They’ll hunt their holes —Valparaiso Wesson* gfr.

“Strike back, gentlemen, strike back.” Zim gives good advice. — Men who will obstruct the efforts of an editor to secure the success of his party, it may be depended upon, notwithstanding their asseveration to the contrary, are either unfriendly to the party, or they are the paid emissaries of the opposition.

Expressive.

The Boston Budget reports an aoM. dote of a little girl who is very fond of walking with her fathen. One day he went further than usual, and she be. gan to grow tired. She did her utmost to conceal the fact, lest it should make her father Indisposed to take her with him on on future occasions. At last her lagging steps betrayed her to her father’s whtchful eye. Even then, however, she parried hii questions, and could not be brought to admit her weakness, till he drew her into a trap. “Well, Lillie, if you don’t feel tired, tell me just how you do feel. ” “Oh, I’m not much tired, papa,* answered the diplomatic little girl, “but I feel as if I would like to take my legs off and carry ’em awhile.”

We are all curious—and it is s ~r-prising prising how curious we are —to know the way other people live, especially well known people.— For several months we have been treated to glimpses into “Some Homes U der‘ the Administration,” in Washington, in a fine series of beautifully illustrated articles in Demorest’s Family Magazine . In the August Number (just airived,) PostmasterGeneral Wanamaker’s mansion is thrown open to us, and we are charmed with its beauties. The handsomelv executed illustrations give us every detail as accurately as would a personal view, and it is a great pleasure to stroll with the writer and artist through the elegant ap irtments and the famous picture-gallery, the latter containing some of the rarest works of art in America. This August number should be seen t y everybody, if for this feature alone; but it contains other features equally in** terestin c , not the least of which is an aceount of “The Oberrammereau Passion-Play,” which is illustrated not only with a picture of the Bavarian village wheie the play is now being enacted, but also with many of the tablaux shown in this historical perform ance. There is also a complete novelette by Queen Elizabeth of Roumania (“Carmen Sylva”),preceded bv her portrait and fine illustrations ot her summer castle I and her houdoir. The other articles ana stories are all of the high-

Republican politics in Kosciusko county have been rotten for years. Gen. Williams, ot the Warsaw, Indiaman-Republican, publicly confesses(a death-bed repentance; that some years ago he sat down in his office and wrot* affidavit after affidavit for Mr. James H. Cisnev, a Republican boss, denying certain damaging charges against him, using fictitious names for the sig.nature, and printing thousands of them. Mr. Cisney was the Republican candidate for Sheriff and the Democrats had unearthed some of his rascalities. Gen. Williams’ manufactured affidavits saved him from defeat. This same Cisney (now a Federal officeholder) has since turned around and stabbed Gen. Williams in the b°ck. “The wage 3 ot‘ sin is deatn.” Had Gen. Williams spurned the dirty political work, Mr. Cisney would not have been placed in a condition to knife him. Dirty political work never pays an editor. It pays him much better to crush such political rascals and defeat them. A rascal is a rascal, and there are rascals in all parties. Generally the biggest rascals are the biggest men in the party. Gen. Williams has been a great offender against public morality and he must pay the penalty. The man who does the dirty political work f<>r the bosses is generally cast off when the work is done. A political scavenger is without respect. He is scorned an » hated and despised by his employer even while he is doing his dirty work. That is the way Benjamin Hamson, President of the United States, treats William W. Dudley, the man who corruptly carried Indiana for him in 1888. Mr. Cisney. one of his officeholders, couldn’t be expected to be better than his master. Gen. Williams in his blind partizan zeal himself to the base purposas of a political harlot and was betrayed. There is but one course for Gen. Williams to pursue, and that is to expose the rot* tennessof Reouolican in Kosciusko ccunty. It is heroic treatment, and may kill both the father and the mother but it will save the life of the child. We have some such political corruptionists in Porter county. Th«ir ou'ward appearance ic childlike and bland, but their hearts are as black as hell itself.—Valparaiso Messenger.

“Lemonade and buttermilk are as good as anything drinkable that you can find for this weather,” said a physician. “They are both great things to quench the thirst. They both act as a pleasant tonic to the stomach and th-y have a stimulating quality. But they should not be drunk ice cold.— That is bits of ice should not be in the goblet. L9t them be as cold as the ice chest or refrigerator can make them, but not more than that. When you pour down your throat a pint or so of finid that is fresh from the ice temporary paralysis of the stomach follow, if a man happens to be very hot such a thing not infrequently is as fatal as a stroke of lightning.” The New York World says the average rate of duty on taxed imports nnder the existing law is 41.34 per cent. Under the McKinley bill as passed by the House it would be 52.80 per cent, and as amended by the Senatesl.97. This is a higher rate than was reached in any of the war tariffs.

TAKE NOTICE.

SENATOR AND CONVICT.

▲ Scorching Parallel Drawn by a Republican Paper. The Pittsburgh Leader (Republican) said editorially recently: “It is curious how fat* deals with men. The telegraphic dispatches announce that Stevfnson Archer, late treasurer of the State of Maryland and ex-chairman of +he Democratic State Committee, who embezzled one hundred and thirty odd thousand dollars from the finds under his control, has been convicted and sentenced to five

years in the penitentiary. With the embezzling treasurer of her sister State and nearest neighbor in a felon’s cell, how must Pennsylvania blush when she reflects that one of her ex-treasurers is accused, without denial, of stealing from her funds double the amount, and, inste c d of being m the penitentiary or having proved the charges unfounded, is at the hear! of the Republican party of the nation, and has the effrontery to say to her, ‘Here is my candidate for the highest exeout ve offioe in your gift. Make Deiamater Goverror or suffer my displeasure.’

“He is a trusted and loved ser of our pious nonenty, Benjdfmin jHarrison, land of our still more pious millionaire Postmaster General, who takes care to fill his own pockets and grip sack with both hands, while his mouth drops preoious pearls about the blessings of poverty and submission to the will of heaven under its trials. “Maryland is a Southern Democratic State, bnt she honors herself by calling a thief a thief, while Pennsylvania, a Northern Sta*e and wheel horse of the G. O P., elevates her accused ex-State Treasurer to the position of slave driver, puts a whip in his hand and crouches at his feet to be submissive to his will.” -

WAR ON THE FARMER.

He Is Plundered and the Foreigner Protected. Compelled to Pay Double Prices for Agricultural Implements - A Sermon that Needs no Words to Point out the Moral. The American Mail and Expor* J ournal publishes several editions' One is tor circulation in this conn" try; the others for circulation abroad. The foreign edition con-' tains a “foreign price-list,” to which the foreign reader of the advertisements is referred. This “foreign price-list” is kept sacredly from all Ameri.an eyes. Not a copy can be had in this coui try at any price. A fter waiting three months and exhausting every means at its corny mand, the Tariff Reform club, of New York, sent to fciouth America for a cotiy and obtained, through the courtesy of a Spanish firm, the “Spanish Supplement” for April. It is headed in large type, “Illustrated Current Price-List of American Productions and Manufacturer for Exportation.” An examination of this Spanish “Precio Corrient” shows that the line of goods offered is of the same general nature as that in the export edition of the Engineering and Mining Jonrn 1, except that it represents a much wider range ot protected milled goods, and the discounts offered are from 10 to 15 per cent better. “The prices quoted,” it says, “are those that rule on the day of its publication and are subject to the fluctuations of the market.” - The supplement contains fortyeight wide columns. The New York World had the illustrated portion of the advertisements photographed down tq, a suitable size for its own columns and published it much to the dissatisfaction of the manufacturers. They protested but their protests avail noth iag. a It will pay every American fjr-

mar to study the exposure made by the \\ orld concerning these advertisements intended for circulation in Spanish America only. There is not a farmer in the United States who does not know what he has to pay for these inK piemen ts; but that every other reader may know the price charged lure in the United States those prices are reproduced in parallel columns for inspection and comparison.

Practically, an advertisement of one protected firm is an advertises ment of all firms engaged in the same trade and competing one with another, for no one fbm will reiuso to give as good discounts as another, and these advertisements represent several thousand pro.. ;ected manufacturers. The World pursues this subject editorially as follows: “That the protected mills and actom sell abroad to foreigners cheaper than they will sell at home io Americans has been known for ; rears. One of the chief sins sieged by the rabid protectionists Against the Cleveland admL istra ion was that it had destroyed the Republican sugar trust’s control of the English market by forcing it to charge the Englishman four and a half cents per pound for the same sugar it charged the Ameri can eight oents per pound for. Every Republican newspaper las at time or another admit ied and found an excuse for the mere abstract fact, and whee it remained a question of theory very few persons took even a lan guid interest in it. What was every body's business in general was nobody’s business in particu lar.

The first slight ripple of public sentiment followed the unwise da nunciation by the American Econ omist—organ of the Protective Ta iff League—of Secretary Fair child’s decrease of the drawback on exported refined sugar from to cents per pound, for the American Economist blunderingly published tables showing that the Republican sugar trust undersold in foreign markets the foreign re finers, although nne tenths of the duty on raw material was refunded. This was a concrete illustration of how 3$ cents protection on the re fined product was given this ind ustry only that it might charge Americans more than foreigners. Every voter could understand it, it appealed instantly to his pocket. Why should the tariff compel him to pay a Republican refiner 8 cents when that Republican refiner co’d make a profit selling to the Eng lishmen at 44 if he had a draw) back of 2§ on his*raw material?” The ripple has become a tidal wave thiough the World’s proof that every protected industry in the United States is doing the same thing—selling cheaper abro’d than at home; competing with for eignors in its own market. When the World photographed and printed the foreign advertise meats of these protected American manufactures, showing exactly the prices charged the foreign consn mer, every man who read them saw that he himself had to pay the Srotection piper, and he could sit own and figure what the amount was on a hundred or more manu facturesof iron.
