•A FIRM ADHXBENCK TO CO&USCT PRINCIPLES.”

The Railroad Meeting.

Further Progress of the Effort To Secure The Electric Rail Road. A public meeting was held in the court room Wednesday night for further action toward securing for Jasper county the proposed electric railroad. The attendance was not nearly what it should have been in such a supposed public spirited community as this, but it was fairly good and showed that the interest in the movement is spreading. A. Leopold was chosen president and G. E. Marshall, secretary Messrs. Leopold and E. L, Hollingsworth made short reports of what they learned at the recent meeting at Winamac. Some of these facts have already been published in these columns.

From what the above gentlemen saw and learned at Winumac they were strongly convinced that the road would be built, and that it would be a fine thing for the region it passes through, and that it could b;’ brought through Rensselaer and Jasper County if the people worked hard enough for it. It is to be a .Jandard gunge road, and its cars win be the : rjns steam roads. The rails will be lighter, ties farther apart, and the road much cheaper to build than ordinary railroads It will be operated by trolleys and relay stations, ( r power houses, bo about 25 miles apart, Stations will be frequent., and the trains will stop most any old place for passengers. It is supposed that passenger and freight rates will be much cheaper than on steam roads. It is proposed to run ab®ut two trains each way every day, at first, and increase the number us business requires. The road can be built and equipped for about SIO,OOO or $12,000 per mile.

The cost of surveying the line, making profiles etc., which must be done at the expense of the people along the line, will not exceed $lO per mile. The right of way must also be given, and the following committees were appointed to investigate the probable cost of the right of way through this county. For Hanging Grove Tp , A. McCoy, J. C. Gwin. Austin Moore, Robt Drake, Edward Randle. Rensselaer and Marion: J. W. Cowden, Geo. Parkison, Win. M. Hoover, Wallace Robinson, T. J. McCoy, J. F. Warren, G. E. Murray. For Jordan: Win. Washburn, Robt. Michaels, M. G. Lewis, Walter Porter, Chris. Hensler. These committees aro expected to ascertain the probable cost of of the right of way, and report at the next meeting, next Wednesday night. E. L. Hollingsworth was appointed to correspond with Col. Bears and to procure from him a more definite information as to what must be done to secure the road. On motion, Rensselaer newspapers were requested to publish the report of this meeting.

“Daughters of th Mm®.” m&iv instead of today, as previously announced. 'Wanted to Be on tbe Safe Side. “It," said the editor to the office boy, “you should happen to see the major coming around the corner with his shotgun, let me know of it at once.” “Yes, sir. Is he huntin’ fer somebody?” “I don't know for certain, but f heard him giving his experience ut prayer-meeting last night, and he told the brethren that life wae short, and warned them to prepare for death. Wo might as weß tbe on the safe side, you know.”

The Diugloy tariff is certainly falling far behind the expectations of its promoters, aud unless son e unexpected change for the better takes place the contingency antis c-i [nited by Senator Aldrich will fa e ll.e Republican party. Gove nor Hastings tells the tar*, mer* ot Pennsylvania that they ha e a r., ht to sell in the best market and buy in the cheapest, nntramme.cd by legislation: From the protectionist standpoint ihnt is rank heresy; but it is common sense from an unexpecte ! source. It is a Deraooratio s, n*iraeut.

Republicans p ant to an mcrense in bank deposits as proof that times are glowing better. Thatis only) evideneo that mouev getters arejco’leotiug it injwithdrnwing it from circulation and liordino it up instead of circulating it in the employment of labor Aooumlnting iu banks simply indicates that it is not seeking investment in manufacturing aud comt ercialeuterprises. and that its owners have confidence in tho.fuiuio business and prosperity. The action of Robert T. Linoolu in refusing to recognize the c arriage of his daughter to young Beck with of Mt. I.’ ensnnt, lowa, will h..” ly meet with the approv al of the Ahaerioau people. Mr. Lincoin appear to forget that about all the prominence he has ever attained is owing to the fact that he was ‘the son of his father,’ and that that father prided in the fact that ho l ad been a ‘rail split ter’ in his dav.

How the ‘prosperity’ bubble to dazzle the eye and deceive the hon est voter prior io the lab election was worked up, is best told by the New York Herald, wh oh i tales that the renegade New York Bun was paid SIO,OOO in British gold, or dollars that the Cleveland or Hanna adnriiuistration would re deem in gold, for writing ‘prosDer ity’ articles! The Herald further states that it refuse ( an offer of fifteen thousand dollars to do the same infamous work.

It >s said that American bicy-.'les can be bough tin Germany cheape than in the United States. So can Americm plows and farm maebin eiy. This is one of the beauties of protection to home iudustries. It enables home manufacturer* to combine for thepurposeof putting up th price do our own pjoplc, be cou s e foreign competition i kept out by the tariff and our people must pav whatever price is fi ed by agreement of the trust. The surplus is sold abroad for whatever can bo obtained. Thus the foreign consumer it favored t the expense of ihe home consumer.

J The supreme headquarters of jthe \ P. A. at Washington has b,-. n do. ed and the furniture sold under the hammer for debt The deficit due to the Dingley law for the four months of the present fiscal year iB very nearly iSO 000,000, and still growing. The engagement between young Pullmau and Miss Oglesby has been broken. The young man is to be congratulated. He has escaped an alliance with a woman wno places a cash value upon her affections. At the scecial election for a co i*» gressman held Tuesday ih Chicago Mr Boutell, the republican can-, didate, w s successful by a major ity of 840 over Mr. Perkins, his democratic opponent. This is practically a democratic victory, as last fall the republicans carried the district by a majority of mo*-e than 6,000.

SECRETARY GAGE’S PLAN.

Secretary Gage, the banker secretary of t lie treasury, has evolved a plan for a leform of our current c, system« Here / s the j lan: ‘Bonds payable nri.oipal nnd interest in gold. Al silver dollars to be redeemed and retired 11 government issues o<* paper money,greenbacks, Sherman r otes, which are legal 'enders nnd silver certificates which are not, to bo etirei or boa led. National banks to be increased, He taxes on bank notes to be reduced; bank not =>B to b 1 sued to lie full value of tho depo i's and twenty-five per coat over, the payment of all of these being guaranteed by the govern* rnent. Two hnn'red million dol la. s in s'?v r certificates to bo deposited as Becu v itvfor bank notes, wlmh certifioat s oa . be turned into bonds at the pleasure of tire secretary, the certificates to be estrpycii im-l the bods put in their lace. A division of redempti n nnd issue in the treasury which shall have one hundred nnd twenty five million dolln sin gold coin o redeem any m ney that maybe presorted and two hundred million dolln s in legal render notes which shall only bo pa d out in gold.” This is a most ingeniously devised plan to turn over the gov* eminent and the pro erty of the people to the national bank and the money kingß. It could only have been devised by an experi. e ced binker like Secretary Gage and the prol übilities are that be had the assistance of “ths business manager of the admirfstration.” u its preparation, and possibly that of Pierrepont Morgan who held tho same pos;ti n in the last administration.

What does this policy mean? First: A (.ingle gold standard. Sec nd: The contraction of the cuirencv by the retirement v f four hundred and fifty-tw » million dollars in silver, three hundred and forty-six mil ion dollars in greenbacks, one hundred and ten million dollars in Sherman notes, fortyeight million dollars of currency certificates and thirty-eight million dollars in gold certificates, a total of nine hundred and ninetyfour million dollars, show to be in the g-moral st ck of currency by the statement of October Ist. Third: Giving powt-j to the national banks to control the entire currency of the country. Fourth: To nave the government issue and guarantee five dollars in bank notes for every four dollars deposited by the bankers. Fifth: An increase m the bonded interest bearing debt of nearly! one billion dollars. This is tht financial policy proposed by Secretary-Banker Gage with the approval of President McKinley and his cabinet. A mighty good thing for national bank, but disastrous in its results to the people and the government Not a republican newspaper nil daie to deny that this ie a fair analysis of the secretary’s report given out to the press and printed on October 30. What do the republicans of the countrv think of this plan to transfer them as fji lot of voting cattle to the pen of the gold bugs.
