Rensselaer, Jasper County, Indiana, Friday, September 3,1897

The Dingley lunacy elevates prices, but i_ot wages. » »- i » 3 L resident McKinley went to Ohio partly to rest from the rest he had m New York. Twenty-five dollars seems to have been the uniform ‘loan’ made to the Ohio Popuhsi delegates by Marcus Alonzo Manna. The glass trust has increased the price of window glass five per cent, but the glass makers are forced to be content with a reduction of ten per cent in their wages. Governor Mount is of the opinion tnat Indiana coal miners base been receiving starvation wages. He appeals to the people to aid the miners in their strike for better wages.

“No man in public office owes the public anything.”—Marcus Alonzo Hanna. Marcus entertains the sentiment in common with the Vanderbilts —“the public be d —d!”

The price of wheat is not steady. It wi’.l require a little time yet to ascertain exactly the footing on which the boom was started. Thus far, when wheat soars to a dollar the bulls are the beneficiaries.

Prosperity has come, ejaculated Pillsebury, when he cleared $500,* 000 in one day in the Big Bucketshop at Chicago, on wheat that he had paid the farmers 45c for.— Republican please copy.

Just cleared a cool million on 45 and 50c wheat.— J. Pierepont Morgan. Journal please copy, and furnish names of Jasper county farm, era who have receiv d one dollar per bushel for their wheat.

Col. Conger, of Akron, Ohio, who was a member of the Republican National committee from that state in 1892, has come out strongly against the re election cf Mark Hanna for senator. Conger accuses Hanna of being a boodler.

It is the plan of gold conspirators to beat the price of silver down with a view of making its use for money seem preposterous. Our country loses more than any other by the constant depreciation in silver, because this is a silver producing country.

Funny, Is It Not? When the republican papers of this city, declare that “prosperity” is on, they piess to the frontmilliona’re railroad owners like Chauncey Depew, of the Vanderbilt system: President Thomas, of the Monon, to give evidence as to increase of earnings on -their lines, but they are never questioned with] reference to increase in number of employes or increase of wages.

ihe mine owners should nothesitate to pay the wage scale demanded by the min?rs. The duty on coal was inc eased 27 cents per ton which should certainly enable the mine owners to pay higher wages. The Asserted theory of the protectiionist is that a tariff must be lev ied to insure high wages. Why then don’t the mine owners, whose business is protected by a tariff of 67 cents per ton, pay at least living wages to the men who produce their wealth.

An exchange calls attention to the profits made through the in* crease in the price of wheat by certain well-known farmers, as follows: Farmer Joseph Leiter has made $500,000. Farmer Charles Pillsbury has made $500,000. Farmer William T. Faker has made $350,000. Farmer D. R. Francis has made $300,000. Farmer George B, French lias made $200,000. Farmer J; Perpont Morgan has made $1,000,000. These profits were made on wheat for which our farmers were paid 40c and 50c per bushel, and our neighbors of the Senior and Junior aro extravagant in their an* nouncements of this evidence of prosperity,

•*A FIRM ADHERENOK TO OORRBCT PRINOIPLBS.”

McKinley intimates that he has only begun the work of boosting wheat. Dingleyism means a big daily deficit in the government’s income account. It is said a $1,200 farm has been entirely paid for with the proceeds of the sale of hen fruit. The opening of the public sihools at Hammond has been postponed to October, owing to prevalence of diphtheria in that city. A new use for the watermelon has been discovered. Some genius declares tha* an acre of watermelons will yield more sugar and a much finer quality than an acre of the best beets ever grown. An exchange thinks the oyster and strawberry haye each done a big part toward evangelizing the world. They have built and furnished more churches, paid the salaries of more ministers and helped more heathens than any’other two natural agencies. ’

Now comes the welcome news that the coming oystei season will be the beat in ten years. Not only are the luscious bivalves more plentiful than common but they are said to bo unusually fat and sweet. Hurrah for September with its ‘r.’’ Let it come apace and with it the oyster. So much for the new tariff? It hps increased the production of wheat anc oysters m this country, and decreased the supply abroad? ’Rah for Bill McKinley and Dingley Bill! ’Rah I !

THE GRAND OPENING.

By a lavish expenditure of mon* ey J. 8. Ellis has now one of the most convenient, attractive and best arranged opeia houses ex tant. The opening event occurred Monday evening, and was assigned Hennessy 1 eroyle and his superb company. Few of those who had never seen the building since it has been changed could realize on entering but that they were going into a metropolitan opera house. Notwithstanding the high price of admission, the majority of the reserved seats were taken at advance sale, and by the time the curtain went up on the first act the balcony was filled at 50 cents a head. — The two boxes were occupied by our worthy commissioners and court house contractors. The play “Other Peoples’ Money”, is an old and good one, and enjoyed a long run in the metro, politan cities with great tuccess, and it waa produced in Rensselaer Monday night before a crowded and deligbted audience. Hennessy Leroyle in the character of of Hutchinson Hopper was the great feature of the play. Mr. Leroyle is a comedian of wide repute, and his renditioa of'that character was beyond criticism, while that of Oliver Starbird, his rUerk, and Millicent Hopper, his wife were equally well performed. It is the design of Mr. Ellis to secure ihe best talent for his new house. The next attraction will be Ed Davis’ Minstrels

The recant visit of President McKinley to the tomb of John Brown may yet assume the proper, hone of an “incident" The President is being severely criticised by the southern press for the tribute he paid to the “law-breaker.’’ The Atlanta Journal voices the sentiment of its section in vigorous language. Among other thingsit says: It was reserved for William McKinley to be the first President of the United States who ever made a pilgrimage to the tomb of John Brown. What a specta-.’le was then pre seated! We see the man who was elected President as the candidate of a political organization which boasts itself “the party of high moral ideas,” paying tribute to the mem oiy of one who defied the laws of God and man. Alter committing a series of black crimes in Kansas, sufficient to have sent him to the gallows a dozen times if he had received his dues, vn endeavored to carry out a scheme of wholesale massacre in Virginia. A more desperate villain never thru. tened the Deace of a oommu* nity or made his end more properly on the gibbet. In his mad fanaticism he scrupled at nothing The torch, the shotgun, and the knife were his chosen weapons, and he instig ted others to use them He hated law and preached insurrection, arson and murder. He met the fate he richly deserved, and in his execution the law triumphed ever one of the most da - gerous enemies. Such was the man to whose grave President McKinley recently made a visit. The President has often uttered high sounding eulogies of the sanctity of law, and has emphasized the necessity of its strict observance. What a commentary upon these piofessious did he make as he stood with uncovered head over the ashes of one of the most desperate and depraved lawbreakeis ever known in this country!

NEW PENSION RULING.

Slub Cast on Old Soldiers by the Pension Department. A Washington dispatch says that “a drastic ruling, until now secret, has been in force several days in the pension bureau to the effect that all ‘new disability cases, where a pensioner is now receiving a pension tor one disability and wants another, must be referred to a special field examiner to corroborate the evidences of the applicant and to look up the credibility of his comrades or neighbors who have acted as witnesses.’ casts A slur. ‘The old soldiers have not yet had a chance to criticise it, but in the office it has been the subject of much heated comment, where it is expected to prevent the granting of thousands ot pensions and de lay tens of thousands. It is also alleged that it casts a direct and unmistnkeable slur on tli3 credibility of old soldiers as witnesses. The at my physicians are nearly al) dead, yet the affidavit of the army physician who tr ated the soldier in the service is now practically essential.”
