FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1889.

THE Indianapolis Council voted to raise the saloon license to $250. The Republicans were unanimously for it and the Democrats were unanimously against it.

THE Prohibitory amendment was stricken from the Rhode Island constitution last Tuesday by a large majority. It had been tried two years and did not work, as it was beyond popular sentiment on the subject.

PROHIBITION in Pennsylvania, Tuesday, was defeated by a majority of 185,173. The temperance people should educate, educate, educate the people on the rum traffic. It is bound to go, but matters cannot be foveed. Local option and high license is the proper thing as the people are not beyond that point yet, in this State.

TEE Pennsylvania Railroad loses about $2,000,000 by the Johnstown disaster. The company has had in its employ about 5.000 men for fifteen days since the break. The wages average .$2 per day, and the sum expended for labor is about .$150,000. For lumber and materials $100 000 more has been spent, making the cost of temporary repairs §'250.000. The cost of replacing bridges is estimated at $500,000, and extra work is counted at f250,000 more, making in iiii about $1,000,000. The loss on cars and locomotives is about $500,000, and the passenger and freight traffic loss will be near §500.000. The company, however, does not seem to feel even this enormous loss. Verily, the Pennsylvania Company is a wonderfully strong company.

STATE SCHOOL APPORTIONMENT. The State Superintendant has prepared the following statisticts: Amount of school revenue collected from counties, $934,987.89. State's semi-annual interest on non-negotiable bonds, $117,143.49. Amount in treasury from all other sources, $8,928.18. Total on hand, $1,071,061.56 Amount apportioned. $1,050,482.80. Balance now remaining in theasury, $10,578. 76. This amounts to $1.35 apeice for each child of school age in the State, as there are 770,728 of them.

The State Auditor has calculated the apportionment of the big school fund loan to the different counties. Marion county will receive $255,427.92 Allen, $112,301.13 Vigo, $92,743: St. Joseph, $7o,732.20 Tippecanoe, $69,173.40. Stark county receives the smallest sum, $12,855.20. The entire amount to be distributed is $3,904, 783-22, whice is $7.28% for each vote cast for Secretary of State at the last election.

Hancock county will receive about $8,000 of the school fund and $34,000 of school fund loan.

SOUNDING THE FREE-TRADE SLOGAN. Those patriotic citizens who voted down the foreign idea of free-trade at the late election are not to be permitted peacefully to enjoy the fruits of their victory. Foreign capitalists whose envious eyes have long been fixed on the American market, and that class of advocates who find it to their interest to aid in bringing about free foreign trade, have already served notice through the Cobden Club annexes, called Tariff Reform Leagues, that the American people labored under the disadvantage of either failing to comprehend the issue before deciding upon it, or ignorance of what was really for their own good. Consequently philanthropic Englishmen and Gnglislx-loving Americans will at once renew their efforts to spread the gospel according to John Bull. So certain iro they of their premises that their line of effort has been at least partially marked out. Election returns from the agricultural districts contributed quite largely to recent disappointments of those behind the so called "refoim" movement, hence especial attention will be given to demonstrating that the country's pncnominal prosperity under Protection is but the piling up of plunder extorted from its farming population. If not a re-issue of that wellworn Cobden Club pamphlet, addressed to "The Western Farmers of America," at least its inversions of fact and pleadings for free foreign trade are to be revived aud spread through every available ^channel. In this American farmers were rged to support a fiscal policy favoring

foreign markets, which consume less than eight per cent, of our farm products, to the detriment of the home market which consumes all the wool and more than ninety per cent, of the grain, meat, fruit, vegetables, etc., raised in the country, All of which is to be repeated with such variations as circumstances and location iy suggest as likely to prove most ef fective.

Farmers are again to be told, and ask ed to believe, that a tariff imposed upon yard of imported cloth, or a pound of im ported steel, increases by so much the cost of all the cloth and steel made and sold in the United States—while the tariff of twenty cents a bushel on wheat, ten cents a bushel on corn, fifteen cents bushel on potatoes, ten cents a bushel on wool, and four cents a pound on butter, has no influence upon the price of those articles. In short, all the assertions and misrepresentations hitherto employed ai to be revived and applied to the conversion of agricultural voters who in the re cent election contributed so emphatically to the discomfiture of the free-trade propaganda. At the same time they are expected to overlook the fact that the sue cess of the "tariff reform" they are in viled to promote will, inevitabiy force from their present occupations multitudes of workingmen now the chief consumers of food products, and that in such event these must not only cease to be purchas ers now, but many of them are likely to become rivals in farming.

It remains to be seen if this renewed attack upon our American system of en couraging the home market meets with any better success than its predecessors

RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.

The Republican's Scribe Abroad. I took the train for Philadelphia and soon after my arrival there struck the en terprising firm of Stutsman & Elliott blacksmiths. They were quite busy but took the time to assist me materially for which I return thanks. The ladies of the M. E. church held a very pleasant social last week that cleared them $18. Upon calling at the substantial residence of Rufus Btack we found that he was at Bernie, Mo., engaged in the lumber business and his wife was at the helm and actively engaged in canning cherries. Mrs. Black reported their crops in fine condition. Next we called on Mr. Smith, son of Abner, found him busily engaged playing with the babies waiting for it to get dry enough to plow. He is a hustler and a Republican from away back. Next we thought we were coming to a little town but on nearer approach it proved to be the residence of Abner Smith with its many neat farm buildings. We found Mr. Smith with his good wife busily engaged in the garden. They wore the look of peaceful contentment and well they may for they seemed to have all of this world's goods they needed except the RE PUBLICAN and we soon supplied that deficiency and the paper will go regularly to him. He has about 100 nice cattle and has in 130 acres of corn looking well. We headed north and saw L. W. Judkins weaving fence. He makes a nice fence and is a patron of the paper. Nothing of note occured until I came to a stream where I fell in. This disturbed the usual tranquility of our mind, only for a mo ment however, and we went gaily on our way till we came to J. H. Apple's. Mr. Apple was taking something for the stomach's sake in the way of meat and drink and soon made himself agreeable. We talked of the crops and wondered whether, etc. Mr. Apple was formerly a Democrat but now a jealous Prohibitionist. He ordered the REPUBLICAN. We came east 'till the squealing of pigs and lowing of cattle reminded us that we were nearing the residence of some prosperous farmer, aud it proved to be that of G. W. Parker. I partook of the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Parker. He did me up on a few games of checkers during the evening and judging from a hint or two he threw out I would guess him to be a Democrat. We wended our way next morning feeling that we were glad we had been the stricken pilgrim. We learned that John Short, Mr. Gray and James Jones had gone to work for the Bernie Lumber Go. Found A. C. Atherton arranging to take charge of the P. O., having received his commission that morning. They say he will make a good postmaster. Democrat postmasters will still continue to take back seats. The town and vicinity contains lots of good people and the REPUBLICAN will receive the news from there often from au efficient correspondent. Going north-west we came to C.L. Black's, son of Rufus Black. Mrs. Black has the finest lot of yourg turkeys we have seen. Mr. Black ordered the REPUBLICAN. Next we met the two young married sons of Mr. Owens. These young men are jolly fellows, well fixed in life, and we think they are not boys to get the blues easily when it rains too much. They were beginning to plow that evening. We stopped with W. T. Griffith and was royally entertained by him and his nice wife. The boys each take the REPUBLICAN. It was coming night and we knew by the reputation of T. J. Elliott that that was the place to seek repose so we beaded tor there. Mr. Elliott and wife are good christian people, have four nice little boys, and if the balance of our Republican friends would do as well as he has in that line old Hancock would soon wheel into line for Protection to our industries. Mrs. Elliott has quite a nice lot of silk worms at work which were a curiosity to us. In the evening we met a party of young folks returning from a birthday dinner given in honor of their young friend Samuel Crump, and they of

course had a nice time. Going west we stopped at the home of S. E. Smock. He has a nice new barn in course of construction. He was busy, aud, not liking to disturb busy men, we had but a few words with him. At Mr. Reasoners we inspected the nice new house he is having built. It will be a daisy when it is finished. Mr. Lineback, of Cumberland, is contractor. Mr. Reasoner is a staunch Republican. At Gem we first called at J. J. Townsend's store, found that gentleman engaged in cleaning up and arranging his new goods and as we looked about us we were reminded that all within that little store was wonderous neat and clean. As we went north-west we saw the farmers plowing, but in most cases it was entirely too wet. Met the Bolen Brothers who are lively fellows, both bachelors. The boys should change their mode of living. Going west to the pleasant home of Grandma and Grandpa Hendricfes*#e' found two of the kindest old people we have met. After supper he and I took a stroll over their nice farm. Mr. Hendricks' wheat fields are sowed with High Grade, Red Cross andAmber varieties of seed and his wheat will average 20 bushel per acre. We think it pays to sow good seed. Mr. Hendricks has invented a nice portable fence and his neighbors ought to pattern after it. We went over onj the farm of Robert Smith and we found him busy as he always is. He ordered the REPUBLICAN. Mr. Hendricks has sold 50 gallons of strawberries, of which he has a very nice patch. Mrs. Hendricks has lived at her present home 50 years, has eight grand-children and 16 great-grand-chil-dren. Next morning we went our way wishing there were more such people as Grandpa and Grandma Hendricks. The whisling and singing,Gee land Whoa Haw! we heard as we proceeded indicated 'twas dry enough to plow and the farmers were feeling better. At Mr. Welling's we met E. E. Stoner, of Greenfield, who waa on his way to attend the funeral of a relative, Josiah Day, of Marion County. Next we came to Geo, Huntington's, who takes the REPUBLICAN*. He has a fine general purpose stallion. At Ed Ray's we found a jolly crowd of babies and spent several moments very pleasantly. Upon calling on Mr. Ogle we found he has been too poorly to work any this spring but has good corn, as also has Mr. Snyder. Southwest to F. M. Harvey's, and, it being noon, Mr. Harvey was reposing on the floor while his crops were growing finely and his good wife was clearing the dinner away. He is a true-blue Republican and his young sou is quite a gentleman. Passing the residence of August Langenberger we viewed his fine surroundings and neatly painted buildings which indicated prosperiety and contentment. Coming east we came to the beautiful home of Gust

Schram,that gentleman being

absent at Indianapolis we made our manners to Mrs. Schram, who was busy with her strawberries however we seated ourself with a pan of strawberries at elbow and the beautiful flowers climbing the walls around made us want to stay a good while, and we did. Coming east we passed the residence of August Schram but our time was limited and we couldn't stop. At Philadelphia a large party of picnicers from Indianapolis drove up hunting Dye's lake. To sum up, most of the corn we saw looks pretty well, being small for the time of year but growing fast. We saw several fields of good wheat. All the barley we saw is good and soon be ready to cut. Judging from Buckcreek and Sugarcreek townships Hancock County is no slouch. ...
