Ciiculalion This Week, l,i$.

SENATOR-ELECT PEFFEB, of Kansas, frill sit in the Republican side of the JBeuate.

THE snow of this week has been very Valuable to the growing wheat, which is now looking well.

"WINTER was booked to close its engagement last Saturday, but made some breezy bluffs at spring as a wiud up.

WHILE Cleveland, as the stuffed prophet, does, the political talking and writing, Hill just as faithfully turns the crank of the machine to further his vaiu &m!>itiou of reaching the White House.

Ex PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has received a mini er of bluffs lately. A few days ego be made a report as referee in an important case which was set aside by presiding justice of the New York supreme court who remarked that Mr. Cleveland fcad conducted the whole investigation on »R erroneous theory? Mr. Cleveland's errouous theories are many. It was through one of them that he lell oui of the White House, never to rise again.

THE reputation of a newspaper can only be built up by years of painstaking, arduous labor and Honorable conduct. It Ci'.ii be lost in one issue of a puper, yet acme people think an editor has an easy time. Tvn thousand readers are uot easily pleased, but we are both proud aud happy to say that the REPUBLICAN is moving steadily tor ward and increasing its subscription list, and its advertising and job work patronage each week. For the above incre .se we return our thanks and Can assure our readers that it shall be our aim to give them much more than their «ioneys worth during 1891.

THE new restricted immigration bill entailing p.-nalties en all transportation Companies who invite aliens to this country, except by commercial letters or advertisements stating the sailings of their vessels aud time of return shows a change in the populbr temper, which now wants emigrants to be''fit"even if they be "few." Twenty years ago we wanted everybody, because we had more wo: than we could accomplish. To-day, though the bulk of Our work exceeds that of twenty years ago, we ere in danger of having more men than work. The cause of the change Is obvious. Then we had a vast amount Of government land at $1.25 per acre, now we hava but little then railway construction was being rapidly pushed, in to'hich the emigrants engaged, and nearly allot them became small farmers, owning their laud at small expense. They Were a useful class, both Irish and German, and have made good citizens, mostly fanner* Diminished inducements have Changed the character of immigration. Too much of it is not only ignoraut, but Is incapable of being educated into American citizens, and iu fact do not deserve to become citizens. Some are Jbronght here under contract to work at lower

WHges

than those on which our

men aud women can thrive as befits an American law-making people. The purchasing power of this Republic shall be great, hence we need a well paid class of laborers. We cannot welcome the ignorant, pauperized, vicious, criminal, diseased, insune element of other countries. In Justice to our own people, those who ask to become citizens should be made to present a clean recoid, and possess enough cueansto support themselves while he is iu Quest of employment. Self poverty should be no bar, but destitution should. A poor industrious man may make a good citizen and likely will, «nd Is welcome but the man that c:hurch and State have oppressed, with the spirit of anarchy rampant within him is not the man we fvant. We can offer homes to the Strugfling poor of

other

countries, but not to

their criminal and diseased element.

THE Republicans iu Congress passed a vote of thauks with a whoop an 1 hurrah for the Speaker Hou. Tom Reed. He

deserved it.

AMONG

the candidates

of our bar

fur the appoint­

ment of appelate judge, Hon. Wm. R. Hough, of this city, is mentioned. Although always a strong Republican, he is unanimously iudor ed by the members

without regard to party, and

is tin support aud well wishesof all our tizens. Mr. Hough has lived here for more than thirty years. He has always occupied a front rank as a lawyer, and iu addition is a gentleman of great culture and polish. He is in his prime, mentally aud physically, and would make an able judge. Mr. Hough is very strouglv indorsed by mailt leading lawyers and prominent men throughout the State, aud we trust Goveiif»r Hovey will award Mr. Hough atul our city the desired houor.

THE REPUBLICAN is sincerely grateful for the many kind tokens of friendship which its editor and representatives are coutiuually receiving Friendship is not only one of the earliest, but it is one of the dearest, rarest and graudest feelings of huinauity. The little toddling babies have it, and draw even patriarchs to them by its strong cords. Age seems to have nothing to do with it, religion, politics, art, science, habits, occupation, education aud sympathies, seem to have no influence. It is deeper, broader and more enduring thau them all. It is only found in a sincere desire to do good and deserve good. We trust that as the days go by those who have chosen to stand by us, may fiud increased cause

&for

a devoted

allegiance. It is the aim of the REPUBLICAN to do good rather than evil, and whenever it has any influence it shall be contributed toward the upbuildiug of Greenfield, Hancock couuty aud her people. It is a well known tact that great progress has been made by our people within the lust few years. They are doing more thinking. The result is a growth intellectually and morally and increased fiuancial prosperity. This is a source of rejoicing. Let the good work go on. Live up to the best knowledge you have and strive to increase that knowledge. Be contented but never t-at-istied. Let 1891 be marked by a greater progress than any heretofore iu our history. May it be a year of abundaut prosperity to all of our readers and friends aud it lies with you to wnke it so.

The Republican Convention.

Pursuant to call, a number of Republicans met at the court-house Wednesday nigbt, for the purpose of selecting their committeemen for the various wards of the city. Dr. Kin.: called the meeting to order and W. P. Smith was selected as permanent chairman and C. M. Ginther as secretary. Committeemen were selected as follows: 1st ward, J. C. Patterson, C. M. Ginther 2ud ward, M. G. Alexander, Jacob Cook 3rd ward, J. A. Lynani John Borrei. The above are all hustlers and will make a splendid committee. Now the Republicans should all get their working harness on and roll up a grand victory at the spring election for city officers The Republicaus of this city have never taken the stand for the Republican party flret, last aud all the lime as decid edly as they should but now is the time. Our city aud people are prosperous aud those are the conditions under which the Republican party wins its victories. Ru in and desolation seem to delight the hearts of the Democracy and when they make people believe that the country is going to the demnition bow wows is when ther gain the most votes. Dan Vorhees has been making calamity speeches for thirty years. Young men join the party of progress and prosperity.

I will endeavor to record but the principal events, joys, sorrows, and vexations, in my last weeks experience, as I was in several places if not more, taking in consideration the good roads, bridges washed out, weather etc. I saw John Dillon at New Palestine, he has returned from Franklin, to his first love, and, will trim vehicles for Faut Bros this year. A. P. Hogle was busy among his stock of stoves tinware etc., and 1 did not detain him long. C.J.Richman, of the firm of Waltz & Richman, smilingly told me that be was papa now, th it It was a fine Democrat boy and weighed 9 lb*, the boys have more goods in their store than it ever contained before, they are anticipating a large business this year which I think they will have. Miss Malinda Wessling of Cumberland, is now clerking at Waltz & Richmans, she is an amiable, intelligent young lady, and is making a od and efficient clerk, and by this means she is indicating to many other young girls how to become bread winners, and cease to be depndents on the industry of others. Eaton & Espey had taken in 275 dozen of eggs on the Saturday before and other trade in proportion people universally concede New Palestine to be one of the best trading points in the country, and Eaton & Espey as one of the Arms are building a splendid trade and enjoying the unlimited confidence of the people. Mrs. Dr. Ely is making maple syrup from a tree the doctor planted injhisyard several years ago, quantity is small, brt it is molasses just the same. Dr Ely jr always lectures me on the "rottenness" of local news papers in general, but has been a faithful supporter of this one several years any way. John Huber had his agricultural room full of all kinds of labor saving machinery for

the farmer, those things are so much cheaper than they used to be, that one can well afford to buy. B. Schildmeier is having a good trade in his line, he will handle the W. A. Wood binder this summer. I will not mention John O. Branson this time, every one knows him ou the corner at the post office, then besides they cau see his ad in this paper. E. P. Scott is still building lumber si eds bujing all kinds of building material. Mr. Scott is hanuling every thing and at prices below auy competitors yet reported. He is selling au iron oted fence post that will be a dandy seller among the farmers. Mr. Scott, like almost all Palestine people is now a reader of this paper. New Palestine people were up iu arms against the saloons and were circulating a petition which w&s being numerously signed asking their removal. Drake Bros are broadning their resorcw*, and are turning out tons of bent material. The are far be hind with orders, they will build them a large addition 120 feet long and put in a large engiue. I am glad to note their prosperity. In driving up to J. W. Mc-

Namee's the "dust" was not particularly troublesome like I have seeu it aloug this road. John Arthur was so unfortunate as to have a fine mare to die a few weeks ago. John will soon be getting along the bachleor side of life, and should begin to improve the time iu selecting him a nice "frow". Mrs. Arthur one of the most kindly disposed ladys whose hospiality it has been my fortune to enjoy, Josie and Ella are pretty and intelligent and are sought after by the bQst boys of the neighborhood. Iu hoisting my buggy top some where along my trip I discovered a card annouueing that I was lost piuned to the curtain. I thought I had been along these roads sufficiently to know them, but maby not. I guessed in a moment that it had been perpretrated by the young ladies above mentioned. I hope this will never be the fate of their best young as they wend their way homeward over hevy roads at the "wee sma" hours.

J. W. McNamee has one of the finest stock farms in sugar creek, his barns are tilled with fine draft horses that excee-'es anything I have ever seen outside an import iug barn, Jimmy is civer and oblging and hence is one of our most popular horse men. Au interesting and fruitful protracted meeting has just closed at Carrel ton conducted by Rev. Hagan of Shelbyville, assisted by Rev. French about 80 had c-nfessed their faith iu the saving power of the Lord. A young folks Christiau Endeavor has been organized and much earnestness and zeal is manifested.

Such meetings are propitious of much good, aud old aud young should feel encouraged to continue in the good work.

At J. S.Boyce's I met bis son Ora's new wife she is pretty and intell gent and I wish them a long life of continued happiness. In company with Mr. Boyce I called on Dr. Larimore, he was too busy to devote much time to us, but baited loug enough to express his views forcibly on some leading subjects. The Republican party has no more zaalous or earnest supporters than the doctor and Mr. Boyce. Both are men of sound principle and good judgment pertaining to political questions as well as many other questious

I saw H. W. Boles, of Fountaintown. He informed me that he had a position in the Lake Erie & Westeru freight depot at Indianapolis also met A. Lisher, a brother of Cole Lisher's, of Fountaintown. He will engage iu business in Greenfield.

I went and took dinner at Burl Karr's. Mr. Karr is an enterprising horsemau of Shelby county, and has some stock that is first-class. See notes Mr. Karr and wife are Rush county people and of course possess the kind hospitable nature that usually characterize Rush county folk1.

The next day found me in Willow Branch, Hanna & Reeves' flour man had just replenished Thomas & Jones' supply of t^eir "Gilt Edge" flour. They sell a ton in three weeks, showing a growing popularity. The mill is efficiently managed by Newson & Reeves, who are competent and turn out none but the best goods that No. 1 Michigan wheat will make.

McCormack & Son bought 80 fine oak trees of Johnny Combs last week, which aggregated several hundred dollars.

I was at Warrington a short time. It is a nice place to stop. The inhabitants are sociable and hospitable, and given to attending to their own business, are temperate aud sober in fact, Warrington is one of the best temperance towns in the county. I was informed that there had not been a drunk man seen in the town for several years. This is about one of the best recommendations that a town can have.

I met our patron, W. T. Bridges. He informed me that his wife was an invalid and had been for several years. He told me of the death of a neighbor, Mrs. McCollister, who was buried on Monday.

A. W. Hammer is now equipped to properly attend to all legal business entrusted to his care.

J. W. Kennedy and Nathan Sparks are now enrolled on the REPUBLICAN list, and will get the news from a reliable standpoint. The Warrington list is now looming up in great shape as the people are beginning to realize the importance of the REPUBLICAN as a newspaper that gives the news authentic.

The K. of P.'s of Wilk nson have reorganized with a membership of 35, bein 24 new ones. Their regular meeting nights will be on Tuesdays

Morrison & Bros, have made several substantial improvements in their store. They have a flue new fire proof safe all fenced in, in good shape, and anew clerk in the person of 6. W. Sowerwine. They have a good store and are making money, and money makes the mare go. This last sentence is new.

California's Gold Trmumra.

Never in any other country has a change in the political dominion been followed so promptly by so marvelous an increase ot wealth and population, of productive industry and general intelligence. Never did a province repay new masters more liberally for their trouble in its acquisition, nor did any other conquered territory ever receive greater benefit from conquest The most notable instances in history of triumphant invasions rewarded with great sums of precious metal were those of Babylonia by Cyrus, of Persia by Alexander, of Mexico by Cortez, and of Peru by Pizarro—all populous empires, with wealth accumulated through centuries of prosperity. Yet not one of them yielded to its conquerors, within a generation, so much treasure as did desolate California to the Americans. —John & Hittell in Century.

The Fly Had the Nerve.

Allan Forman, the publisher of The New York Journalist, went out one day not long ago to take lunch with a friend. This friend had a glass eye, a calamity Mr. Forman knew nothing about. When they had finished their meal they walked up to the cashier's desk to settle. As the gentleman was paying the checks the newspaper man noticed a fly calmly, coolly and deliberately walking across the ball of his friend's eye. That individual seemed not in the least disturbed, and when Forman spoke to him about it he said, "Oh, that's nothing." Forman, naturally astonished, said in reply, "Well, by gracious, you must have a nerve." '"Oh, no," answered his friend, "it's the fly that has the nerve."—Arltansaw Traveler.

The waltz had its beginning in Germany, and thence was taken to France, shortly after which it was introduced into England. Hungary was the birthplace of the galopade or galop, and from Poland came the stately polonaise or polacca and mazourka.

One Man's Way.

If one were to stand in any fair sized audience in this country and exclaim, "No stranger uhouLl leave the city without a box of'— and ask his hearers to finish the sentence, it is a hundred to one that the audience would shout, 's candy!" giving the name of a well known Chicago confectioner. This gentleman started in business a few years ago with two leading ideas distinctly in mind: To make strictly first class goods, to tell tlie public that he had them and to keep telling the public that he had them. He has not used lar^e advertisements—in his. line and for his purpose that would not have been the best way but ho persistently and continuously hammered out the statement that no stranger should leave the city without a box of his candy, uutil his name and personality are associated with the candy business in that city as no others are.

The illustration suggests three points: Advertising matter should be plain in composition, it should suggest the individuality of the advertiser, and it shouid be continued indefinitely in use. 01' course the plan referred toin the foregoing is better adapted to paid matter in I1.': r.jrm of "readers" than to displayed advertising.

In mercantile advertising where display is used it is well to make one advertisement have relation to another which is to follow. Having secured the attention of a reader for his announcement the advertiser can catch him for the next by a line inviting particular notice to the proclamation which will appear in the same paper the next day or the next week, as the case may be.

The study of methods is one which every adver'

:ser

can make very profit­

able. Newspaper advertising is a necessity for the good business man, and pays him well: but he can multiply its returns by using his space with energy and judgment.

Small Matters.

Advertisers cannot take too much care in the typographical setting of their announcements. Sometimes a trilling alteration, the substitution of a slightly different style of type.-or the rearrangement of a headline, will tell perceptibly upon the general appearance of the advertisement and the results to the advertiser. The tyiestion,"Is Marriage a Failure,n

Settled at Last.

The two lines above show the arrangement of a heading of an advertisement sent to a well known magazine. Upon the suggestion of the publisher it was changed to read as follows: The Question, "Is Marriage a Failure?" Settled at Last in making this alteration the publisher writes: "It may be a small matter, but in my opinion the success or failure of an advertisement oftentimes depends upon just such small matters." And just here the question arises, Do advertisers in general bestow as much attention as they ought upon these "small matters?"

But They Must. Re Good Ones. It is the time now for merchants to take advantage of the demand for pictorial advertising. This demand is not new. On the contrary, it has always existed. Heretofore, however, merchants have chosen to satisfy the demand with pictures which, to say the least, were coarse and repulsive, and which did nut properly reflect the taste of the age.. It is now time for merchants to use art in advertising. It is no more expensive than the inartistic method, and gives a certain tone and character to a store which the blatant, boisterous and altogether preposterous cuts do not give.— American Storekeeper.

Aii Unworthy View.

It is well understood by fair minded business men that local enterprises are dependent on the newspaper, while the newspaper is. to a certain extent, dependent on local enterprises. When the enterprise ignores the newspaper the newspaper must retaliate in kind.—Lancaster (N. H.) Democrat.

A Question of Returns.

"You might just as well set a hen on china eggs and expect to hatch a brood of chickens as to do successful business withont advertising," is the way The Monson (Mass.) Mirror states a more or less obvious truth.

Make It Business Like.

An ingenious advertisement is hot necessarily a good advertisement. A clear, plain newspaper announcement is worth many intricate though clever one&
