A SPEECH BY THE GOV.-ELECT OF MASSACHUSETTS.

About three hundred of the leading Democrats of Massachusetts dined with the Bay State Club at the American House, Boston, November 15th, in celebration of the victory at the polls. Col. Charles H. Taylor, of tie Globe, presided, and Alpheus B. Alger, prospective mayor of Cambridge, was secretary. Short and stirring speeches were made by Governorelect Bussell, Dr. William Everett, possible Governors Morris, of Conneiticut, Amsden, of New Hampshire, Congress-men-elect Hoar, Coolidge, and O’Neil, and State Auditor-elect Tefrey. Gov.-elect Bussell in his speech said: “With power comes responsibility, and that power is of service to a party only as it makes the party of service to the people That seems to me to be the lesson taught by the political revolution that has swept the country, and not to be forgotten if w<- would deserve and retain the people’s confidence. Bight{y they believed that Democracy stood for them, serving their interest and fighting their battie.— Democracy defendedftheiraghts, demanding that their laws should not be usurped .for selfish purposes; in power let it garner the fruits of victory into legislation for them and the public welfare. [Applause. ] Believing implicitly in the people and that they can be trusted with political power, it is our duty as the people’s party, to suggest and support all reforms that will keep elections free from corrupt methods, legislation untainted by improper influences, and political action clear of selfish purposes, to the end that all law shall be the free expression of the people’s will and its administration shall be honest, just and pure. [Applause.] .""It would be a shame to belittle our victories by making them personal to any man, vet, now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, by common consent there stands forth one taller than the rest, a brave, true, honest man, who was ready to sacrifice himself in political power that he might tell the people the truth and marshal the conscience of the country to assert that justice, equlaity and freedom shall be with us, as with the fathers, the basis of all laws. [Applause.] To him the country owes much and our party owes much. To both he has been a leader who led, and led us' right, ever upward and onward. Now, in the full success and triumph of that leadership, we cannot forget the brave, able, honest Democratic Administration of Grover Cleveland.— [Great applause.] The people of the Commonwealth have given to our party their confidence, and rightly demand in return a faithful administration of their affairs. As I enter upon these new and grave duties with a single purpose of serving faithfully the people, let me rely upon the loyalty of Democracy to aid' and sustain me.”

Headquarters for plush sets of all kinds, B*. F. Fendig & Co’s. Indianapolis Sentinel: Judging from the state exchanges, the erroneous idea prevails to some extent that by placing all county officers on salaries, fees wonld be abolished, and the county, and not the litigant would support the officers. Fees will be collected just the same as now, but will go into the treasury instead of being .retained by the officers. If it is found that the fees collected are largely in excess of the amount required to support the offices, then there should be a reduction made in the fee schedule. Scrap, Autograph and Photo Albums at reduced prices, at B. F. Fendig & Co’s. The Chicago Tribune, a high Republican Authority, makes this safe prophecy: If be campaign of 1892 is fought on the issue of standing by McKinleyism, the republican candidate will be knocked out worse than Scott was in 1852, who ran on the platform ‘standing byfthe compromises of the constitution*—the fugitive slave law of 1850. Scott carried four states, and the whig party soon after disbanded. A fine line of Books, and cheap, at Fendig & Co’s Drug Store. Rbonounced Hopedess, Yet Saved. Fiom a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of Groton S. D., we quote: “Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on my Lungs, cough set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four doctors gave me up saying I could live but a snort time. I gave myself up to mj Saviour, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles; it has cured me and I thank God I am now a well and hearty woman.” Trial bottles free at F. B. Meyer’s Drugstore, regular size 50c and SI.OO. 4.

Value of Skeletons.

A writer with a taste for statistics has been estimating the comparative value of skeletons. He finds out that the skeleton of an orang outang sells for 6200, a lion’s for $75, a bear’s for $65, a dog’s for S3O, a whale’s for $l5O, a horse’s for S7O, an Indus Biver crocodile’s for SBO, a shark’s for SSO, an elephant’s. for S4OO, and a python’s for $75. Strange as" it may appear, a human skeleton ranks lowest in value on the list, sls being a high price for it— Sxchanffe.

Smoke Through Your Mouth.

Tobacco smoking when carried beyond a certain limit injures the eyesight. It is also capable of destroying the sense of smell- Blowing the smoke through the nose hastens those results, especially so with cigarette smokers. A dryness of the throat and bach part of the nasal organ and a stiffness in the npse also restfH. , Besides these it threatens the hearing power- In some fpstapces the latter decline More otper unvote awnnSaa. .....

RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY DECEMBER 12. 1890.

The following extract is from Judge Turpie’s recent great speech in the United States Senate on the force bill: Under this bill, nmoug other illicit provisions, the last sti p, the latest most important act, the certification of the result of congressional elections, is conferred upon certain appointees of the federal judges. This excludes the choosing pow. er of the people. Their pow c r i i abrogated, abolished. Pass’this bill and it is lost. It is true they may vote for certain persons as candidates for representatives, but the choice is made in such case not by them, but by the federal commission. It is true that under the provisions o' the fifteenth section of the senate substituted bill now here pending an appeal may be taken from the action of the federal board of canvassers—but to whom? To the people? To any offic rof the people?— No; but the judge, who may ”by reference to a master in chancery, or court commissioner or otherwise, determine the truth of the case.” All popular agencies and authority is'carefully ignored. The judge or master in chancery, some obscure scrivener or wholly unknown commissioner, not amenable or answerable in any way to the power of the State—these may choose a representative in Congress, but not the people. Very few republics have perished by external enemies; always have they fallen by internal foes working violence under the same pretext, the pretext of this bill, that there was reason to distrust the people; that they had not the capacity to conduct the elections and to administer the government; thnt somewhere in the country there must be found an authority, a power more worthy, better, wiser than that of he people. We do not subscribe to this creed. The man who does is already at heart an alien, infidel to liberty and to the fortunes of the republic. Everything new, at B. F. Fendig & Go’s.

EUPEPSY. This is what you ought to have, in fact, you must have it, to fully enjoy life. — Thousands are searching for it daily, and mourning because they find it not.— Thousands upon thousands of dollars are spent annually by our people in the hope that they may attain this boon. And yet it may be had by all. We guarantee that Electric Bitters, if used according to directions and the use persisted in, will bring you Good Digestion and oust the demon Dvspepsia and install instead Eupepsy. We recommend Electric Bitters for Dyspepsia and all diseases of Liver, Stomach and Kidneys. Sold at 50c. and SI.OO per bottle by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. 4.

On Thursday of last week State Bank Examiner James B. Henry, in the line of his official duty concluded a thorough and complete examination of the affairs of the Citizens’ State Bank of Rensselaer, and before leaving voluntarily presented the officials of the bank with the following valuable testimonial: Rensselaer, Ind., Dec. 4, 1890. I have this day carefully examined the Citizens’ State Bank of Bensselaer, Ind. I take pleasure in stating that I find it in a sound, healthy and prosperous condition. Its management is conservative and judicious. I consider it one of the bast managed banks under the State law.

State Bank Exm’r. See our Gent’s Collai and Cuff sets, and tourist sets. B. F. Fendig & Go’s,

There will be a Sunday School Institute held at the Bensselaer Baptist church, beginning Monday flight, December 15, and continuing three days. It will be under the management of S. H. Huffman, Sunday School Missionaly of Indiana.— A good programme has been prepared. All Sunday Sehool teachers and the public generally are invited to attend. Further announcement next week.

A church sensation—drowsiness. During the dog days the coal man lies In wait. Nearly all Indian tales are hair-rais-ing stories. When heaters are fired they are only put to work. “Now lay in your coal.” Soft coal is most comfortable, of course. Brain work is very poorly paid. One is never offerered more than a penny for his thoughts. People should not fear ghosts. They are nothing. Full-bearded faces are not shaving mugs. The mosquito likes to drink behind the bar.

Look out for a new kind of coffee that Is not coffee. Some clever Frenchmen at the Island of Reunion have discovered that the fruit of the wild orange that grows there has the aroma of the coffee berry. As it costs less to raise the wild orange than regular coffee, naturally the planters are substituting the former for the latter, and Lie government even has ordered that a great part of the highlands on the islands be reserved for the cultivation of the new bogus coffee. One bright gleam on the coffee horizon is in the fact that the new berry will be so cheap that it will, if its culture succeeds, drive out chicory, and as an adulterant it is said to be much less vile than that staple coffee cheapener.

A typographical error has been discovered in the last issue of the Bible from the Cambridge press. It occurs in Isaiah 48: 13, the word “foundation 11 being begun with an “r” instead of an “f.” The young son of Doctor Adler found the error and received the standing reward of a guinea. Years ago there was an edition of the Bible kDO’rr. as the “bad Bible,” from the fact that word “not” was omitted from the most important commandment. The unfortunate printer was tried for his life and the whole edition confiscated and sun-

A traveler on a German x>ilwqy train attempted to eat a lunch, and while in the act of conveying food to his mouth the train suddenly stopped, and his cheek was badly cut on the edge of the knife he was using. The man sued the company for damages, but hi» claim was defeated on the ground that It was a breach of etiquette for him to eat with a l-.ife. The Court recited unto him the chestnut that "a man cannot take ad< outage of his own wrong-doing. *
