THE TRIBUNE is the onlv paper pub lished in Greenfield devoted to the city's interests alone all others being organs for the furthering of their respective parties Interests.—Evening Tribune.

Now such paragraphs as the above are non fensical. The Tribune is run for th? same purpose that all the other papers of the city are viz that of making money for the own rs Newspapers are run primarily the same as any other business is run for the purpose of making a living for their owners and families. Secondarily they may or may not be run in the interests of some political pary.

The same company that runs the Trib une also runs the Herald which is a straight out Democratic paper. If to serve the people of ,the city fairly the Tribune has to be run independent how can the same men :.un a partisan puper ior the people of the county and claim to be doing the fair thing by all. Papers as as well as individuals should be consistent.

The Tribune is run as an independent paper because the owners thiuk it will be more profitable to them finaacialiy that way, not because they have the well fare of the city more at heart than the publishers &f the other papers. All no doubt desire the welfare of the city at-d the prosperity and success of its individual citizens. The REPUBLICAN, however, advocates the principles of the Republican party because the principles of the Republican party if carried out will build up the interests of any city, State or Nation. The chief corner stone of Repubiican principles is Home Protection.

That means build and operate factories here in Greenfield, that means employment to labor, that means buy the products of these factories price and quality, being anyways near equal, that means patronize home merchants and home laborers so that they in return are better able to help others. Another REPUBLICAN principle is improvements, both public and private. Let cities and towns keep abreast of the times. The REPUBLICAN has been a consistent advocate of municipal improvements, The REPUBLICAN believes in locating factories here in Greenfield, if we cannot get them here let them come to Indiana, and if we cannot get them in Indiana, get them in the United States, and the nearer they are to us the better it is for us. Do the managers of the Tribune and Herald advocate building up home industries and paying protection wages in the United States? or do they favor free trade and buying goods in Europe The editor of the REPUBLICAN is for Greenfield and Hancock county, first, last and all the time, and will be found advocating their interests to the best of his ability, continuously.

THB RUIN OF THfj YEAR.

Along the Hills and by the sleeping stream A warning falls, and all- the glorious treesVestures of gold and grand (mbroideries— Stand mnte as in a sad and beautiful dream. Brooding on death and nature's vast undoing,

And spring that came an age ago and fled, On summer's glory long sinct drawn to red, And now the fall and all the sbw, soft ruin, And soon, some day, sweeps ty the pillaging wind.

The winter's wild outrider, vitli harsh roar, And leaves the meadows sacks! and waste and thinned,

And strips the forest of its gulden store, Till the grim tyrant comes, anil then they sow The silent wreckage, not with salt, but snow. —Archibald Lampman in Scribner's.

TRANSPLANTED.

The cab was piled with luggage, and within sat a young matron, her cheeks fresh as the meadows she had quitted but a few hours ago. Long Bill, lurking on the limits of the railway station, caught a significant nod from the cabdrive, and at once started in pursuit.

Long Bill was not very tall, but had limbs so excessively slender and so meager a trunk that his acquaintances naturally thought of him in terms of leugth. When unoccupied, which was generally tho case, he let his arms hang straight and close to his sides, as though trying to occupy as little room in the world as possible. He walked on his toes, rather quickly, and almost without a bend of the knee his back was straight and the collar of his filthy coat always turned up to shield the scraggy, collarless neck. Observe him in motion at a distance, and you were reminded of a red Indian on the trail. Catch sight of him suddenly close at hand, and his sidling, furt:ve carriage made you anxious about your pockets or watch guard. By his own account Bill was 19 years old, but he had the wizened face of senility his hairless cheeks hollow over tooth g".ps, his nose mere cartilage, his small eyes a-blink, yet as eager as those of a hungry animal.

For more than a mile he ran along by the laden cab, and seemingly, without much effort: when it drew up in front of a comfortable house, Bill sprang *o the door of the vehicle. "You'll let a pore young feller help with the luggage, lydyr I've ran all the w'y from Victoria."

He panted his mendicant humility, and with a grimy paw shook drops from a scarce visible forehead. The fair young matron regarded him with pained, compassionate look. "You have run all the way from Victoria? Certainly you may help, of course you may!"

She alighted, entered the bouse, and stood there in the hall watching Long Bill as, with feverish energy, he assisted a servant to transfer trunks and parcels. Relatives pressed about the lady, but she could not give them due attention. "Look at that poor creature! He has followed my cab all the way from Victoria, just to earn a few pence. Oh, these things are too dreadful!"

The simple heart of &s lady was a law unto itself. She haa possessions, and spoke with authority. In happy moment, Long Bill had pursued the wheels of her cab. Holding money in readiness, she talked with him. Could he not get work? What was his story? Where did he live? To every question Bill made fluent reply, panting oft, and squeezing the rag which served him for headgear. Work! Only give him the chawnce! See what it was to be rigidly honest not since yesterday at this time had a morsel of bread passed his lips. Work! He threw up his eyes in appeal to powers supernal. "Come and see me tomorrow at 12 o'clock."

His immediate wants provided for, Bill passed the evening in contemplation. He ielt no prompting to impart to any one the wonder that had befallen.

Very punctually next day did he present himself at the area door of the comfortable house, and silently he w~8 led to a room where the lady waited for him. To various searching questions lie again answered with a tremulous candor which had its full effect. Then, bidding him listen f»nd perpend, the lady offerrd her suggestion. Far away from London, in a very beautiful country, she had a house, with gardens and fields, aLd there, if so it pleased him, William could support himself honorably by the labor of his hands—could learn tho rural life, could gain health and strength, could forget the horrors of his early years. Was William disposed to consider this? The head gardener, an estimable man, would direct and encourage liim. He would receive wages, and eat the bread of independence. What said he?

William once more threw up his eyes, and, in very truth, knew not how to respond, but his face answered for him. Very well he should have this chance of proving his sincerity. In a day or two the arrangements would be complete. Let him come again, at a time appointed, and be in readiness to quit London. Meanwhile he must purchase the decent clothes of a laboring man herewith, money for that purpose. Let him be faithful, and the sun of happiness would henceforth shine upon him.

In less than a week behold Long Bill, Answering now to the name of William Higgs, transplanted to quite a new sphere of existence. His lodging was in the cottage of a farm laborer. His duties led him to the kitchen gardens of the old manor house, where Mr. Brown, grave and suspicious, set him primitive tasks with the fewest possible words. William looked as though he had fallen from the moon. He was vastly uncomfortable in his clean, new clothing. He stared at everything and everybody. He stood on guard against, possible attacks and kept wondering whether if he climbed to the top of a hill not far away he would be able to see London. Tne fact that he had traveled for three hours by an express train did not affect this speculation. Never in his life had William felt so hopeless, so purposeless.

By the directions of his benefactress

he was abundantly fed, and such advantage did he take of this novel experience that on the second day lie began to suffer from an alarming disorder. A severe pain oppressed his breathing, and his heart throbbed violently. At length, utterly overcome, he lay gasping as if for life. A doctor had to be summoned. Soon there followed a second and no less violent attack. William had secretly eaten two large cucumbers and a pound of cheese. He paid the penalty. Work, from the first not only distasteful, but difficult, was for some days impossible.

Presently it appeared that he had caught a very bad cold. He was threatened with congestion of the lungs. Writing to the lady of the manor, the doctor explained to her that William's constitution had suddenly broken down in consequence of the great and sudden change. There would have to be care. Figuratively and literally this poor fellow had as good as no legs to stand upon. He seemed ripe for all manner of diseases. If his diet and habits were not strictly regulated, the result might be lamentable.

A month went by. William had pretended to work, but always gave up on the plea of weakness. He looked very miserable end did not talk much. His cough was bud. One day, after spitting on the gravel walk, he showed the gardened a red stain. Mr. Brown, though he did not like William, looked troubled. "Ever seen that afore now?"

Ruefully and resentfully the other declared that he had never known what it was to have anything the matter with him. Then he went apart into a quiet spot and lay on tho grass and was beset with terrors. Moreover, a great wrr.fh awoke in him. He curscd the place a:: 1 the people and above all the well meaning lady who had sent him into exile. FaroiT London called to him with irresistible lure He longed for the streets, tho noises, the smells, for his old companions, for the lurking places of his homeless nights. Money he had none. As yet his weekly wages only paid for board and lodging. But, with or without money, he would get back to London. His purpose must be secret. If the enemy got wind of it, he would be forcibly detained.

That evening he contrived to make a stealthy entry into the grapehouse and to cut the roots of all the vines. Early the next morning he did the like damage to a number of rose trees. A poor revenge, but it soothed him. Suspecting that his malfeasance among the vines must soon be discovered, he held himself in readiness for flight at any moment, and while listening eagerly for every word spoken by tho people about him he sought new forms of mischief. His troublesome cough kept him in mind of th^ wrong ho had suffered. It urged him to malicious activity. But before he could do anything worse than pinch blossoms off certain valuable plants the alarm struck upon his ear. "Hoy, London Bill! Mr. Brown wants you, and look sharp.

It was one of the undergardeners shouting from a distance. In sudden terror, in a mad desire for liberty and home, he slunk rapidly out of sight, then took to his heels.

In the night, at a village some 20 miles away, the constable came upon a tramp who lay helpless by the roadside. "Severe hemorrhage from the lungs," said the doctor. And, but a few daya later, William Higgs was again transplanted, this time to a yet more quiet locality where no work would ever be asked of him.—Sketch.

Animals In the Rain.

Horses and cattle never look so miserable as when standing exposed to cold and driving rain. Every field in which cattle are turned loose should have some rude shelter provided, however rough and hardy the stock. If left to themselves in a state of nature, they would travel miles to some well known bank or thicket, which would at least give cover against the wind. Shut up between four hedges, they are denied alike the aid of human forethought and of their own instincts.

Bewick's vignettes of old horses or unhappy donkeys, huddled together in driving showers on some bleak common, express a vast amount of animal misery in an inch of woodcut. It seems strange that no animal, unless it be the squirrel, seems to build itself a shelter with the express object of keeping off the rain, which they all so much dislike.

Monkeys are miserable in wet and could easily build shelters if they had the sense to do so. "As the creatures hop disconsolately along in the rain," writes Mr. Kipling in his "Beast and Man In India," "or crouch on branches, with drippvig backs set against the tree trunk as shelter from a driving storm, they have the air of being very sorry for themselves."

But even the orang outang, which builds a sm^ll platform in the trees on which to sleep at night, never seems to think of a roof, though the Dyaks say that when there is much rain it covers itself with the leaves of the pandanus, a large fern.—Exchange.

Teetotal.

It is said that the late Rev. Joel Jewell originated the word "teetotal. The story goes that at a public temperance meeting in Hector, N. Y., in 1828, he introduced into the pledge the letters "O. P." for "old pledge," which pledged against distilled liquors, and "T" for "total," including both distilled and fermented liquors. When names were being taken, a young man in the gallery said, "Add my name and a 'T,' for I am a'T-totaler.' Mr. Jewell adopted the word in speeches and writings. Some four years later an Englishman named Dick Turner employed the word, and its origin has been ascribed to him. Mr. Jewell was born in Dunham, Greene county, N. Y., Feb. 11, 1803, and became a revivalist and temperance worker at an early age. For over 60 years he was an active Presbyterian clergyman, although not ordained until he was 40.—New York Tribune.
