Tim appointment of ex-Governor Charles Poster of Ohio "Calico Charley," as the successor of Win, Windom as Secretary of the Treasury is a fitting one. Ifc will be a good thing for the country and also strengthen the administration.
THE Democratic legislature has decided .-Benevolent institutions shall be Continued under partisan management. They a.e now costing the State about double what they ought and then the gross abuses makes the abominable.
THE direct tax bill which has now passed both branches of Congress, will return to Iudmuu $709,144, which wus paid to the general Government during the War. Congressman Bynum staid with his southern Democratic friends and v«ted against the bill and the interestsof his own State. He wants their votes for Speaker.
WHEN a political party has been in power in a county for many years the influences which surround it have invariably rendered it selflsn, avaricious and grasping. A public conscience as it were takes the place of private conscience and the offices are run for all there is in them and everything made to benefit the officers and their friends.
One thing that has marred and hampered 4he work of the Legislature this session is the great size of the majority. Possibly It won't be troubled this way at the next session.—Indianapolis News.
A Democratic majority has marred and tampered the Legislature for several past «efwiou8, but the News works for the Democracy just the same.
MR. J. J. INGALLS, in his speech just previous to the senatorial electi in Kansas, and in a letter since to C. W. Phillips at Indianapolis, makes claims and statements which di» not meet with ready belief among men who had watched his previous course in the senate. Mr. Ingalls Las evidently been thinking one thing and doing another for the past four years. A •nan ould be honest with himself as well as all others.
WITH lien Sherman, love of couutry or patriotism was intense. It was the one grand passion of his life. It made him the great success he was, and caused his last days to be his best days full of honor and renown. Let our citizens and children be patriotic, love their country and their Government, respect and obey the laws. We And people continually growling about laws or the lack of laws. The greatest trouble of all is, our existing laws are not respected or enforced as they should be.
ONB of the friendly Indians who was Cast with the Sioux braves, who have Just recently surrendered, complains that It was the bold, bad, treacherous Indians that received all the attention. A good Indian who had stood by and assisted the Government seemed to stand no show. 'Twa» ever thus, the prodigal sons and thooe who have been mean get the attention from the general public. It is too frcq'ietitly the case that the more degraded they have been, the higher they are exalted and praised. It is all wrong, it «cver happens so with women. Let a Weak woman sin and then all are against feeratarnle.
THE World's Fair apiortioumeut has been placed at *125 000 by the State Senate.
THE ConjiressioMil gerrymander gives ,he Democrats 11 Congressmen and the Republicans 2 in this state. The members who voted for such an infamous measure should be arres'ed for grand larcency. Dishonesty, however, never pays in the long run and it will materially
assist
in electing a Republican President iu 1892. THE Prohibitionists should feel grateful to their Democratic friends whom they have beeu assisting for the past several campaigns. The temperance committees of the present Democratic Legislature have not even had asingle business meeting. Thus do the Democrats reward the Prohibitionists for their faithful assistance.
IN another column is fouud a call for a mass meeting of the RepuUicaus of iireenfield at the court house next Wednesday. It is the purpose to thoroughly organize for the conrug city election. !n view of the bad management and the Loose way in which our city affairs have be^n conducted by the Democratic party, the Republicans should elect their entire city ticket.
THE gerrymander which the present Legislature has passed, will give the Democrats 66 representatives and the Republicans 34. The Democrats 35 senators and the Hepublicans only 15. Is not that an infamous steal? It should and will be rebuked by the people in 1892. The Republican and other parties will most certainly defeat such a cowardly and unfair apportionment.
IT IS announced that President Harrison is soon to take a trip through the South, South-west, then to the Pacific coast and then return through the great North-west. Such a trip would add largely to the success and strength o: the administration. No statesman has ever been so successful in winning admirers and supporters in short speeches as General Harrison. His speeches of 1888 did more than any other one thing to give him the presidency. More than one hundred speeches, every one a gem, not a single mistake and the result was warm supporters and admirers. Such will be the results of the proposed tour. The people with whom he comes in contact, will then more fully understand the breadth and depth of his learning and statesmanship.
A SCHOOL teacher once said to his scholars "boys, I should like each of you to reform a boy." This seemed to strike the boys very favorably and when Jimmy I rowu was asked whom he would reform he said, "I'll reform Sammy Jones." Boys and men are very much alike when it comes to reform movements They go in heavy to reform the otl.er fellow. The advice to fi.st cast the beam out of thine own eye before looking for motes in your brothel's eye, should be carefully followe 1. Our farmer friends are now in the reform business very extensively. Some of them should look very carefully at their own business methods, before they charge the government or som man other than themselves for their embarrassed circumstances. Reforms should begin at home.
Epworth Social.
Last Tuesday evening the Epworth League, held a very pleasant social at the home of Miss Fanuy Crawford on Penn. Street. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Chas. S. Brand, the President, and the following program carried out:

After refreshments were served, Miss Jessie Davis favored the company with a number of choice selections. All had a good time.
An Ice Factory.
Mr. Joseph Stutsman of Bristol, Tenn., is here looking after the location of an ice factory. Papers are now being circulated asking our people to purchase a certain amount of ice duriug the coming summer. The proposition is very reasonable and our people should every one help. Let this be a year of great growth for Greenfield.
Republican MUM Meeting.
There will be a mass meeting of the Republicans of Greenfield next Wednesday evening at 7 p. m. for the purpose of selecting committeemen for each ward in the city, and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting.

Uncle Jno. Snyder and 8. R. Barnett repdrt another good gaa well north-east of Fountaintown.
White & Hiday of Fortville, have been making wagons for most all their neighbors. They recently sold one to each of the fallowing gentlemen: John Pridgen, Ben Wilson, A. C. Hiday, Sant Ogle and one for Dr. Yancy. Also for A V. Rumlerand his neighbor Mr. Bolander. They are now building a fine huckster wagon for M. C. Oberderf, to cost $175 00. Mr. Oberderf has now engaged in business for himself. He was with Walter Claytor for several years.
Mr. Claytor is still at the old stand that the people know so well, by frequenting it in search of goods at reasonable prices, aud not being disappointed Mr. Claytor has been one of the mo extensive advertisers ii Fortville,
Andrew Moore of the Fortville mills, and his brot er Benjamin of Eden, were starting out to different points in and out of the State, ou an investigating tour pertaining to the Aneka Jaj ins estate of New York, in which it is said $200,000,000 is involved. The Messrs Moore are heirs to shares in this estate, and it is to be hoped that it is not all talk, but that these gentlemen may succeed in securing their share.
David Jarrett- has a conundrum he propounds, pertaining to hen eggs that is a good one, ask him about it at Springer's store.
E. West has an ad in this paper pertaining to his new horse power well digging machine, for making tubular wells. This is a good one and the first of the kind I have ever seen. Mr. West is digging the well for the creamery with this machine.
They have succeeded in securing flrstclass men as managers of their creamery there, and if it is not a success, it will not be on account of fault iu tiie munagemeut.
Jos. R. Eakes had not been afflicted with me for some time, so I repaired to his hospitable home at nightfall. Mr. Prater, teacher of the schools above Mr. Eake's, was at Mr. Euke's, with some of his pupils rehearsing some of the pieces to be played at the entertainment, to be given at the close of his school. From what I heard of them they have some splendid selections that are calculated to bring down the house. Some of Mr. Eake's boys are good mimics and played their part well. Mr. Prater is a good teacher and well liked by all his patrons Mr. Eakes is hauling lumber preparatory to building extra cow stables large enough to shelter 24 cows, he will furnish milk to the creamery on a large scale, as will many of his neighbors. This is a good enterprise and is being entered into with a spirit by the people of Fortville, and surrounding country. ,_j
I never fail to stop and jaw Roberts & Walker the livery men, they are whole souled and relish a great detfl of amusement at the proper time, but they in no wise allow it to interfere with their business. They have a splendid liverv and feed business, and are among Fortville's best citizens.
I drove out over the bluffs of Fall and Liqk reeks in Madison county. Our pa tron T. M. Cottrell lives over there, he has a nice place, and his wheat i* looking well. He has some good stock and is improving it every year.
Much of the ground along those streams reminds me of the scripture where "God spoke and the hills arose," it must have alluded to this section. !t is beautiful to look at however and in winter 'twould be

fun to coasting go." Back from
the streams the country becomes level and is splendid farm land. REFLECTIONS.
Seeing a man that had been one of the nicest boys of Fortville, reeling along the streets with delerium tremens, caused me to reflect that "Strong drink is indeed raging, and he that is deceived thereby is not wise." This is terribly true, and how often do we see the results of being deceived. Poor humas nature how fearfully does it deceive itself, when it flies to drugs and poisons to relieve itself from some mental strain or to drink for the mere fun of the thing. We see men of excellent mould mentally and physically, who indulge the appetite for strong drink and become depraved and imbecile. This is true of eminent professional men, men well learned in the arts and sciences and why is it An attentive examination of society will convince us, that in proportion as the intellect is highly cultivated improved, and strongly excited, the body saffers until a period at length arrives, when the corporeal deterioration begins to act on themeutal powers and the proud man will find that the elasticity even of the immortal mind, may be impaired by long continued pressure, and that like springs of ba^er metal, it requires occasional relaxation instead of dosing and drugging, by what is called stimulants. Pause reader, an«i go to yon lowly burial place and ask who rests beneath its lowly surface, "The mouldering remains of a drunkard." One who possessed a heart over-flowing with the milk of human kindness. The days of whose boyhood were possibly hallowed by high and noble aspirations. The hours of whose early manhood were unstained by care aud crime the setting orb of whose destiny was enshrouded in a mist of misery and degradation. He saw the smile of joy sparkling in the social glass he drank and he was ruined, he is an inmate of one of the almost innumerable graves named above. Our own faircoubty contains them and new ones are constantly being
made. It is sad but true that he that was made iu the image of God, will set his brain ou fire and become haunted by rats aud vipers. I will now conclude those reflections with these solemu admonitions to my youthful aud aged friends of Greeufkld and Hancock county. That health and happiness cannot exist where temperance is not, and where piety is not a visitor. There is no solace or balm against the cares, disapoiutments and vicissitudes of life. All that is bright in the hope of youth, all that is calm and blissfull iu the meridian of life, all that is soothiug iu the vale of years, are derived from temperance aud religion. The first wards off disease, aud the latter calms and tranquilizes the mind under every affliction. Solitary indeed is the couch where the emaciated strengthless form is stretched, unaccompanied by the dawnings of eternal day. No holy gust of ecstatic joy sublimates the mind, and in quick succession, the past, present aud future is before him, and at a glance he views the false colorings of the world. No uplifted arm makes strong the soul, uor points with uuerring truth the bright way to the mansions of eternal bliss, and he cries how hard it is to die. To avoid an unwept and an unhonored icrave, where your dust is held sacred by no loved one, and its sod is not moisteued by their tears, be true, be honorable, be men, be charitable and above all be temperate in all things. That your grave stone may appropriately bear the inscription, "He fought the good fight he kepi the faith, HIKI died a sober man." Then will your tired body be laid to rest with many tears, and your memory be long kept green. RAMBLER.
