"WE don't know of a single taxpayer in the city of Greenfield who has a word of praise to oiler for the way the affairs of our city have been conducted.—Hancock Democrat.
The Democrat in every issue tries to stab the good name of our city by attacking the city administration and charging all kinds of mismanagement and unbusinesslike conduct, and yet you can take their own paper and refute their slurs. As a newspaper they are compelled to speak of the many splendid improvements in our city and the way it is forging to the front as an enterprising, business and manufacturing city. It has the reputation of being one o£ the best cities in the State, and it has attained this reputation in spite of the efforts of tue Democrat to cry it down. After saying that "no taxpayer has a word of praise for the way the affairs of our city have been conducted," the Democrat says in another place "The fire company on Sunday evening last covered themselves all over with glory and fully maintained what The Democrat claimed for I hem—the best fire company in the State."
This is one of the "affairs" organized under the Duncan regime that even the disgruntled Democrat praises. The facts are that the water works and the fire company were of such excellent service last Sunday niglit that they practically more than paid for themselves. Without them all of the buildings of the S. R. Wells Window Glass Works would have burned, with a strong probability that the Holweg & Reese Bottle Factory and the Columbia Glass Works would have been destroyed, which would have lost the city several times the cost of the water works. And yet "no taxpnyer can have a word of praise for the way the affairs of the city have been conducted." It is a slander on our taxpayers to say they have no word of praise for the city administration. The most enterprieing people of the city aud the majority of the leading taxpayers are abundant in their praises of the m»vny improvements made by the present administration. Of course there are a few who find fault with a few particulars, but in the main all are pleased. What kind of a city would we have if it was run on the podauger plan? The report of the City Board of Health shows that the putting in of the water works has done even a greater service than saving the property of our citizens—it has saved the lives of many of our people and increased the general healthfulness. We give the report of the Health Board on the subject: "As near as we are able to ascertain by communicating with all of the physicians of the city, there were 40 cases of typhoid fever and 36 cases of dysentery during the past year.
The mortality in these two diseases was very small, showing a rather mild form of the disease, there being five deaths from typhoid fever and three from dysentery.
Careful inquiry into all the cases of typhoid fever and dysentery elucidates the important fact that not a siDgle case of either disease occurred in families using city water. This demonstrates that our city water is certainly free from contamination and is absolutely pure. Many of our physicians assert that from their observations they are satisfied that our water is not only pure and wholesome, but contains medical properties, curative in stomach and bowel troubles, such as indigestion, dyspepsia and constipation.
If this Council deserves credit for their unselfish donation to the interests of the city of Greenfield, the city water works stands as a monument to your good judgment—a *mark of wisdom which each should feel justly proud of, for man's efforts can be put to no better or nobler use than that of saving the life, health and property of his fellow men.
Still the Democrat reiterates, "We don't know of a. taxpayer in the city of Greenfield who has a word of praise to offer for the way the affairs of the city have been conducted." Shame on such a paper trying to cry down and belittle the city where tbey ask the support and patronage of its business men whose interests they injure every week by their malignant desire to injure the city administration.
JUST now everybody needs a little pocket change. In order that all may have their ju*t share, that which belongs to them, allow no little bills to go unsettled. Every dollar paid now will travel so fast paying other debts that it will get hot iu the effort. Therefore let every man who possibly can, pay every little debt that he owes. You can not imagine how my hearts would be made glad by one dollar started on its rounds of debt paying. The dollar was made round so that it would roll the faster. Pay your small debts sure. a
HARBISON'S administration decreased the bonded indebtedness $260,000,000, while Clevelands has increased $182,000000. The people are willing and anxious for Harrison to take charge of affairs a am.
THE
President is down on "Enervating Paternalism," but the finances of the government need kinder care than Cleveland and Carlisle, bestow before they will prosper.
IT
gives us great pleasure to note that Congressman Henry U. Johnson declines to be a society man. He has too much s.-nse for that.—Rushville Jacksonian.
THIS is the season of the year when a man takes an inventory of his accounts, both moral and material. In considering his moral conduct, one usually finds he has neglected many things during the year that is past and gone and resolves to do better the coming year. That is right, as it helps the man and also others.
Alwajs Sign Your Name To A Communi cation. Ic is such a well known fact that to secure recognition in a newspaper office, communications must be signed by the writer. The name will not be published unless the writer so desires, but the editor must know the name, so that responsibility may be lodged some where. Unsigned communications are becoming too numerous of late, and in nine cases out of ten they attack some ones character or actions. If it is a personal matter between the writer and the person attacked, the newspaper and the general public care nothing about the controversy. Go to the person and settle your difficulties privately without attempting to draw others in and be shielded yourself. Unsigned cornmunieatioLS will be consigned to the capacious mouth of the waste basket. The REPUBLICAN' received a communication on Thursday attacking two or three of our citizens: it was headed Protection, but as no name was signed it was not considered.
A Fine Display of Fruits, Grains, Grasses, Woods, ilnimals, Mineral1} by tlic Northern Fac-Jiic lv. K.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Land Department's World's Fair Product Car was here today on exhibition near the depot. The display iin the car is highly interesting and instructive and is open for inspection free of charge. It contains a comprehensive collection of the fauna and flora, cereal, fruit, mineral and vegetable products of the States traversed by the line of the Nerthern Pacific Railroad, comprising Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. There are also samples of wood, wool, building stone, coal and in fact specimens of all industrial products to be obtained along their line. The numerous scenic views and collection of mounted birds and animals add greatly to the interest and variety of the display so that not only the farmer, fruit grower, lumberman, miner, manufacturer, gardener, tourist, hunter, homeseeker, student and art lover are interested but in fact all classes of people will find much to admire.
There have been quite a large number of people viewing the car and the products today. In fact, the car has been full all day. The fruits are exceedingly fine, in fact eyerything shows up first class. The railroad company owns 36,000,000 acres of land that is being sold at low figures. Montana, one of the States through which the railroad runs, is the third largest State in the Union, being four timts larger than Indiana.
Much interesting literature was given away to the visitors, so that they cau obtain some valuable information of this country of ours, and what is better than a thorough knowledge of one's own country.
School Notes.
The supreme court holds that a township trustee, acting as overseer of the pjor, should draw his pay from the county treasurer and*not from the town-lip-fund.
Prof. McMurray, of Buffalo, N. Y. who created such a favorable impression a-, the Teacher's Institute here last summer, was the principal lecturer at the Henry county Teacher's Association at New Castle, held there recently. His chief subPect was "Concentration and its Power." He will be here at the Institute again next summer.
The Township^Trustees Association, ef Indiana, will hold its^annual meeting at Indianapolis, Dec. 26 and 27th. We believe that the trustees of the State are generally disposed to be more economical in the expenditure of money than their predecessors, and also pay more attention to the schools of their townships. The trustees are without doubt the most important officers of the State, as under them our children are trained for weal or for woe, and thay control the expenditure of a greature share of the taxes, than any other set of officers. How important then that they should be honest, economical and diligent in ther administration of affairs.
The teachers of Shelby county held their annual association meeting last Saturday. At the teachers oratorical contest Friday night, Miss Myrtle Conger, of Flat Rock, was awarded first honors, a gold watch. She is a daughter of HOB. Sid Conger and her subject was, "Religion and Art." Frank Ewing, of Brandy wine Tp., was awarded second prize, a copy of the International dictionary. His subject was, "The Genius of Man." There were fourteen contestants, three ladies and eleven gentleman. The contest was a success.
Miss Grace Gray, who has taught in the 8th grade of our city schools during the past term, leaves for her home in Cincinnati tomorrow. Miss Gray has resigned and will not return after the holidays. She is an excellent and popular teacher and it was with reluctance that Supt. Wilson aad her scholars saw her sever her connections with the schools.
Miss Ella Bottsford, of Indiaii.Mpnlis, has been employed as one of the tracers here after the holidays, as a vaeai cy was caused by the resignation of Miss Gray. The position of some of the teachers will be changed aud it has not been determined who will have charge of Miss Gray's room.
Several of the teachers will go home for the holidays. Miss Madge Toms goes to Richmond, Mi.ss Bessie Eerrick to Muucie and Miss Mary Wood ward to Fountain City, the latter of the high school. Jesse Evans will spend a part of his time with his parents iu Jackson Tp. Miss Lulu Dove goes to Irvington and Miss Kate Nave to Indianapolis. Mrs. Kate Martin will be in Greenfield most of the time but will attend the State Teachers' Association and may go to Green Cistle. 'i he REPUBLICAN wishes both those who go aud those who remain a "merry Christmas" aud a "glad New Ye ir." •.

Clergy Kate Will ltemain^the Same. The question of a change in railroad fare charged clergymen has been settled by the managing officers of railways in territory covered by the Central Traffic Association agreeing to continue to allow a rate of one and one-half cents per mile.

Horn Wm. H.

Ha Is a millionaire and it is therefore unreasonable to sun: pose that his work along historical llnoh, was animated by any spirit of selfishness or sordidness. No other man is so well equipped for the task he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since it was admitted to Statehood. He was secretary of the Constitutional Convention, and his personality is strongly marked in the organic law as well as In much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth has afforded him opportunities for devoting .»•* his entire attantion to literary labor. Hi3 intimacy with public men and State an®' Federal officials, has given him exception., 3,1 facilities for gaining access to dc#u_ tnents necessary to insure thoroughness and exactness in the preparation/fcf hia history.
