A LITERARY SENSATION.

“Uncle l’om’s Cabin” has certainly “broke loose”! The copyright on this most famous of American novels, by Mrs. Stowe, has recently expi.ed, which irees its publication from the monopoly of the high-priced publishers, and though m anticipation of this fact they have within a few months greatly reduced its price, now that it is really “unchained” the conseJuences are something surprising. ohn B. Alden, Publisher, of New York, issues several editions, selling them only direct (not through agents or booksellers); one in good type, paper covers, tor 5 cents, sent post-paid, cr the same bound in cloth for 10 cents with postage 7 cents extra; also an excellent large-type edition, on fine paper, handsomely bound in cloth for the price of 25 cents, postage 10 cents. Surely a copy of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” will soon be found in every Home where it is not already. Mr. Alden sends a 32-page pamphlet describing many of his publications free, or a catalogue of 128 pages of choice books, a veritable “literary gold mine” for boot lovers, for 2 certs.

INDIANAPOLIS SENT NEL, Indianapciis, lnd.

A copy of the Indiana Almanac for 1893 baa just been received by us. It is without question the most complete and best work of its kind that has been issued in the State. The main feature? of the work are deserving of extended notice. The World’s Fair, which is to be held this year, will no doubt be visited by almost every citizen of Indiana. This important subject is fully outlined in twenty-eight pages of printed matter, showinfe cuts of the buildings and descriptions of all the interesting features nnd exhibits. Complete tables and Tariff Duties and increases are noticed. A reliable table of the Indiana Post-offices, with their r daries. This constitutes reference volume for those interested in the new appointments expected after March 4th. The United States Government, with the names and salaries of every official thereir , from President down, are given A full list of United States Senators and Representatives are furnished. Tables or population of States, cities, etc., and other matters of paramount importance are also set fully forth. A concise collection of general information on the recent political revolution is perhaps the most interesting featu eof this work. The vote of Indiana by counties on both State and National tickets is scheduled, and separate tables are t iven on legislative districts. The great result by popular vote an • electoral votes is also shown For the benefit of handy reference the platforms of the four leading parties in 1892 are appended.

MoKinley tariffs obstruct freedom of trade, and thus indirectly is one cause for the reduce I pi ice of our agricultural products. “ Republicans are alieady beginning to scent viotory from afar.’—Lebanon Patriot. > Yes, but the Democrats sent it so far that it will never return to perch upon republican banners again. The republican organs attribute the low price of wheat to the assumption of power by tue Democratic administration.— That has nothing to do with it, but the financial demoralization of the country by republican legislation may be properly and c orrectly blamed with it. It is said that Charley Landis, of the Delphi, who aspires to the next Republican nomination for Congress, insists that the consumer does not pay the McKinley tariff lax. Charley is a very cleveryoung man, but the people of the Tenth District do not desire the honor of a nomination to go to any such brilliant damphool. The following item was recently copied by the republican a, a “clincher” for its readers : The price of wheat is lower than it has been for a quarter of a century, and yet many farmers throughout the country still persist in voting with the party of free trade to make it still lower.—Plainfield Progress. Of course the Republican regards the above as an unanswerable point made againßt the Democratic party. It assumes, too, that the tariff regulates the price of wheat. Well, let us see. We note in our published market reports in 1856, wheat quoted at $1 15; in 1858, $ 1 25. This under the lowest tariff ever enacted. To-day, with the highest tariff known in the history of our povernment "wheat is lower than it has been for a quarter of a century,” says the Progress, backed by the Republican. Now if the tariff regulates the price of wheat, as intimated by these organs, but which they do not believe, then the farmer should favor a tariff for revenue only.

“Crisp knows as well as anybody that up to last November the wheels and spindles in coantless industries were bumming all over the Union. Factories and mills were running night and day, wages were high and general orosperity reigned. Tliis was under the very same laws now in force.” Delphi J ournal. And Charlie Landis “knows as well as anybody that np to last November wheels and spindles in coantless industries were” ceasing their “humming all over the Union” the same as now; that “strikes” were the order of the day; the Carnegie jubilee was on; irusts andflcombinations formed to lessen production and keop prices up to ‘protection’ rates. And this was under the very same lawa no v inforce. Speaker Crisp at Tanmany Hall July 4 uttered tie truth when he said: If there are thousands of unemployed workmen in our land, if the agricultnrai interests languish, if the trade and commerce are restricted, if there is lack of confidence in financial circles so far as human laws are concerned you oan charge ittoihe Republican party. There are fAws cu our statute books to-dav which are in restriction of trade. They’are Republican laws. Tfiey are laws which destroyed t e people s confidence and upset the fin noes. They are Republican laws.

Horses, when asleep always have one ! ear pointed to the front. Exactly why, ! n ? human being can tell, but the , roba- i bility is that the practice is a relic of the time when they were wild and obliged to be on thoil guard, even when asleep.— Whether or not this is the case, the fact is certain that while cattle are apparently indifferent | as to the position of their ears when Bleeping, and no matter how these appendages may b. placed both are pointed alike, horses always point one ear forward.—St. Lenis Globe-Democrat. In a Chinese school in Oregon the contribution plate was passed to a young convert, who looked at the plate and inquired, ““Whaf so?" “For the Lord,” said his teacher. On the following Sunday the plate again stopped in front of him. “Whuf fo?”he askodagnia, and once more he was told that the money was for the Lord, Thereupon a look of perplexity came over his face which found ex ression in the inquiry: “Lord all time bloke?” An exciting and remarkable scene occurred yesterday at Barnsley, where Day’s menagerie is being exhibited.

Bartlett was afterwards surprised to see od6 of the lio s loose. Happily none of the public were in the show at the time. The keeper immediately armed himself and sent 'for aid. Blank cartridges were fired to keep the lion at bay. Luckily, it came within the reach of a powerful elephant, who seized it with his trunk and, placing a foot on the animal, held it down. The lion was then secured by ropes and dragged into the cage. No Clara—Why are yon so bitter against him just because he proposed and you refuse nim? Maude—The wretch!

RENSSELAER 'IASPER COUNT!. INDIANA FRIDAY JULY 28 1893

REPEAL THE WHOLE ACT.

The pioposal to limit repeal to ‘he purchase clause Jone of the Sherman ast is mischievous. It invites complication, controversy and compromise. It thieatens an endless series of substitutes, amendments and dilatory proceedings. The direct and simple course is the only safe one. law of ’9O should be repealed promptly, completely and without conditions. — The/e is nothing in it worth preserving. Its repeal will leave the silver coins already in existence full le-gal-tender money.. It will leave the treasury notes of 1890 legaltender currency, redeemable precisely as they are now, in com on demand.

There is no possible good to be accomplished by leaving any part of the. act on the statute book after repealing its only vital part, the purchasing clause. There is nolhingelse in the law that wo’d have been put there except as an adjunct to the clause. The pressing reason for repeal is that confidence m the stability of the currency may be .restored. To that end the repeal should be as simple, correct and complete as possible —New York World.

KEEP THIS IN MIND.

When the Democrats wc. t out of power in 1889 there was a sur-* plus in the treasury of $85,000,000. QThe gold BboveJthe reserve was S9B 000,000. The annual excess of revenue above expenditures was nearly $100,000,000. The silver purchased was coined, not heaped up like useless iron. The country was prosperous. Trade was good. Gold was coming this tvay- the net gain in four years having been $54,772,000. When the Democrats were restored to power, after four years of Republican • rule, the surplus was spent and a deficiency was impending . The free gold had been drained out of the treasury. Ther expenditures ot the government exceeded the receipts,though th se had been increased. A Republican silver law had menaced the national credit and had unsettled business. The country had lost to Europe 8122,000,000 in gold.— Tariff-fostered trusts and uimolested lawless conspiracies, fail.ng through grasping greed and revealed rascality, had brought the aountry to the verge of a great panic, which only the faith of the people in President Cleveland has averted.

Senator Turp e the oilier day addressed the Democratic Cty Convention of Indianapolis,gaud in the course o? his remaiks referred to the stringent y of the money market and the so-called “hard times.” “The times we are enjoying,” said he, “are strctly republican times and the republican party is responsible for them All laws concerning trzde, cuinmerce, revenue, taxation i nd money are statutes which were placed in execu. tion under repub ican administration Only a few weeks ago the last provision* of the McKinley bill went i to ooeration and to its eifects can be iraced much of the troub'es which go to make up the hrd times. The Sherman act is the law of the land to-day, and this is the law that nas caused --n extra session of congress to be called for its epeal. By it a given amount of silver is purchased by the government for cold storage in the vaults of the treasury.” Heisaid he could not allude to the times except to denounce his political opponents and their laws whicn cause the times. He was in favor of the old motto, “In God We Trust,” but could not agres with those who w inted to Insert the letter “L” in the second word and make the motto r 3 ad “In Gold We Trust.” Gold may be precious, but right is more worthy of consideration.

A Washin ton dispatch states that Comptroller Eckels has is<* sued an order whereby national banks will now he examined twice a year instead of annually. He believes that twelve months between visits 's too long a time to elapse, a d thinks that depositors

and the public in general will be much better protected under the new rule. It is difficult to see why Schieffielin & Co., the New YorK druggists, shoultj at this juncture, demand gold in payment for foreign drugs. Any money that is new a?oat is as good as gold; and no matter what A customer might pay, greenbacks, silver certificates, coin certificate, national bank notes or ilver.cheok or draft, the New York druggists could get gold therefor at any New York bank. There is no present fear that gold will go to a premium, that js that the Governi. ent will be unable to keep every dollar in circulation equal to a gold dollar. The present silver law would result sooner or later in makiu" it impossible for the Gove v nmeut to maintain the gold standard. The country is coming pretty generally to see this; and there has been fear that the evil day would soon bo upon us. But the attitude of the ad - ministration and the growing belief that Congress when it meets next month in special tession will take prompt action to repeal the mischievous law and to declare for an unvarying standard of value aud a sound currency, have tended to restore confidence in the financial world. —Indianapolis News.

THEY ARE POISON.

logansport Pharos: There are few people in Logansport, Derhaps, who nave not seen the hundreds of large bugs which gather around the electric lights every evening of the week, and little attention is paid to them. There is something in connection with these bugs, however, with which few people ar- acquainted, it is not generally known that they are capable cf inflicting a sting almost as i oisonous as that of an adder. The bug is a species of the tarantula aDd its sting is as poisonous aB that of the latter. They seldom sting any one, and never do so except in self defense, but people should be careful about handling them. At Tipton, last week, a young man lost his leg from the sting of an electric light bug, the physician I eing campelled to amputate the young man’B limb in order to save his life.

White County Democrat: Geo. Perrigo caught % snapping turtle ast week, cut off its head and had it for dinner. Three days afterwaids he heard a chicken squalling under the house and upon investigating found that the turtle lead had caught it. He had to pry tho jaws open to release the chicken which was so badly injured that it died. Commenting on the above the Delphi Citizen recalls a scrap of White county court records in which the Cieik of the court lecorded and read in,op?n court that Ihe jurv ; n a certaiu was composed of eleven good and truthful men p.nd George Perrigo.

In a recent interview at Logans.port, in speaking of the approaching special sessiop of congress, Senator Turpie said that he anticipated heated discussions on the silver question, and that the called session would not perhaps adjourn before the convening of the regular session m December He stated that from many sources requests came to him for an expression of opinion on the silver question, but that he had uniformly refused to express his views for publication. His vote and voice will be used to further such policy as shall, in his judgment, give promise of mos* good for the country. He thinks a tariff bib that will meet the approval of the dems oratio majority in congress will be submitted at the special session, but thit it will not be pressed for passage at onoe.

It is useless for republicans to try to escape responsibility for the Sherman law. When Mr Conger ot lowa reported the bill from the tonterenoe ot. July 12, 1890, he stamped its partisan character on it so effectivel that it can never be removed. “Tuis measure," he said, “will be given to the country, 1 am happy to say, by republicans. It was agreed upon in conference by republicans only. It was passed in yonder chamb-i • only by republican votes, and I suspeot that it may pass here only by republican votes. It will then go where it will be signed by a republican president, and from there it will go to a country which, in November next, will give such a republican indorsement that many of you gentlemen will not be found h re to pass upon the next silver measure that may come before congress. It is, Mr. Speaker, in line with republican judgment and republican policy.”

The treasury department has been notified that several imall tradesmen in various parts of the country have been reiusing to accept silver dollars except at the rate of 50 to 55 cents on the dollsir, and they will be prosecuted under the United States laws.Tlhh is the legitimate result of tli 'publication by certain smart aleck newspapers that a silver dollar was worth only that amount. A silver dollar is worth 100 cents in any kind of money so long as the United States government exists. A reader of the Argus says we made a mistake when we said a soldier’s widow who had married again has been drawing a pension in this county for some twenty years since, her second marriage. He says he is familiar with the case and she drew the peusion for awhile and then died, whereupon her big, lazy, husband, who was never in the army commenced drawing the pension on the ground that he wanted it and she was his only means of support.—Laporte Argus. An exchange gives this timely and excellent advice- “People who have good investments should hold on to them. Those wlic have surplus tuuds should, instead of locking them up, invest them. This is the way to make money, and it is a perfectly safe wav. We are living in a great country. The foundations are broad and strong, and tnose who suspect that it is going to destruction deserve to be num» bered with the most silly class ot foO»8.”

FERGUSON’S SAVING PRAYER. I Scuttle Prosa-Timaa-J Away baok in the early ’6os Mr. Ferguson was defending a man ac*. ouse lof beating his wife. The case was on trial before a justice f the peace, probably the same , ustice who dendod that stealiug a uaok of potatoes out of a canoe in the river was “p.raoy on the high seas.” The aooused was cbnvioted, and the justice promptly sentenced him to be hanged. “But you can’t hang a man for leating his wife,” expostulated ferguson “The devil I can’t,” said the jus-, ice, bridling up. “Ain’t he guiity? Ought’nt any man to be hung who would beat a woman and that woman Ins wife? And ain’t I the only judge in this county? If I mven’t got the power to hang a man, who has, eh ? I’ll hang him wiihin an hour; won’t we, boys?” le continued,addressing she crowd standing around, whose sympathies were evidently with the woman.

“That we will,” shouted the orowd. Seeing that the case was beginb uing to look serious for his client, Yerguson suid: “Well, your honor, before the man is hanged I’d like to take him out behind that big tree and pray with him.” “All right,” said the justioe; and off w?ut the prisoner a id Ferguson. When they got behind the iree Ferguson said in an underone: “Now git, you d- d hound.”— And h~ got.
