KANSAS, having borrowed and mortgaged liT-elf poor, now puses as schoolmaster to the rest of the country iu the mattei of finance.

'I HE -w tax la»v is lo ig and elaborate Inn in* dullest t«x payer will have no difficulty in understanding its main feature— higher taxs.

PAPER belts are now being made,which are said to lie superior to either leather or gum.

TIIF elections over the State Tuesday were very encouraging to the Republicans. The results were all that could have been expected, aul shows that the party is in splendid fighting trim.

SUPERSTITIONS and theories of men are receiving some hard licks ihese latter days. We can hardly read a newspaper that does not record some marvellous iu ventiou that seems to suspend the laws of nature. Ii is indeed an age of icnoclasts. Superstition-* have long bothered huuiauity, but they ate rapidly passing away.

SOME congressmen, and a great many other public officials, are frequently heard talking and decla'ing that they are sacrificing a Kr»at deal iu a pecuniary way by remaining in office. There is no lawihat compels these men to martyr themselves, and the fact is, their talk is all bumcombe. It' they believed what they said, they would resiun.

THE Democratic papers insist that Mr. Cleveland talks and writes to'j much for a pivs:deiitiai candidate. The Republicans are anxious that he proceed, as he generally puts his foot in it every lime he says anything How different with President Harrison his speeches are levi nd criticism, even by his most rabid antagonists. Of the several hundred speeches he has made since lie became a candidate »r president iu 1888, each one has made him stronger.

TIIK leariing Democratic free trad rs are slowly but surely being relegated to the rear b\ their istttuents, which show that the theory of protecting American industries is popular. Congressman Mills from Texa, started in with a big majority that has no*' so dwindled that iiesa\s he will not again be a candidate. Krank Hurd, the brilliant free trader from T«ledo, was in Congress two or three times and then so overwhelmingly defeated that he has permanently retired. Wm. R. Morrison the able Illinois flee trader, was defeated in a big Democratic district and put on the retired list until Cleveland put him on the Inter State t'ommerce Conitn ssion. John G. Car lisle one of the ablest Democrats of the country, was defeated for the 5Uth Congress by Thcjebo the protecti.n candidate, iu a big Democratic district but allowed to retain his seat by a Democratic Congress. He however did not run again but went lo the Senate. One by one the prominent free traders are tailing. The Americans believe in protection aud prosperity.

Demu(:iiU')iaaMi»Ht.

Ku8hville Republican. Democracy does uot know what to do with ollice wneu it gets in.

Democracy uses power to beuefit the party and not the pcoplt. Democracy violate* (lie Constitution to niuke ltselt solid.

Democracy disfranchises the people in the iuterest of the politicians. Democracy faucies it is financiering wheu it tiorrows money to pay debt.

Democruc} sacrifices the farmer aud the pool* man iu the intereal of tne saloon keeper and tne cupon-clipper.

Democracy tniuks il siausmauskip to raise the tax on land anil homes, rather tli-iu on wuis&ey aud nig dividend-pa} lug stock.

Lfcmocracy prefers to tax the poor man who is trying to get a little home through a ijoiioiug association, rather than the lien corporation

Deuiociacy thinks it better to hob le religion by taxing ihurcu parsonages, rat ner than add lo the burdens oi' the liquor traffic. democracy wants the American me chitnic to luve the clotiies he wears, aud the tools he works witu made by English mechanics.

Deuiociacy wants a tariff that will drive American mechatiics into agriculture aud make them competitors iucteud of customers ot American farmers.

Democracy wauts tne American people to le Eugli.-h mauutactureis make their tariff laws.

Drtii.ocracy insists that the rich silvermine owtit-r shad hive a dollar for eigniy cents worth ot silver, but is willing to let the farmer a the workingmen do best, he can with his bushel of wheat an I day's wage.

Democracy's foresight is iu the back of its head, its prophecies are alter the event, its political morality is a theory, its pledges are in bankruptcy.

Democracy is a misfit.

Tne election while a gain for: he Republicans was not as much as desired. Par lines were not adhered to and every man elected, both Democrat and Republican, owes his election to votes received from the opposite party. election passed off very quietly and a fair vote was polled. The defeat of John Corcoran for Mayo.- is to be regretted for he would have made a maunificent officer aud done much to advauce the best interests of our city and people

A special fight was made against Patter on for .Marshal, but it seems he hn 1 many Democratic friends who staid with him aud gave him a big majority. He has qualities that go toward tnakiug a successful and competeut officer and Greenfield will have a better observance of the law in the future.

Wood Meek was a competent and honorable oung man and made a good race but the crippled condition of his competitor and sympathy his large family carred the day for him.

Elbert T.\ner gave A. Flippo a closer call for Treasurer than he ever had and he would have made a fine officer.

On Councilman "cow up" or *'cow otll." cut a big figure. Party lines were largely ignored but with the exception of the second ward about the same, number on each side cr ssed over so that the result was not affected any.

John liarr was re elected in the 1st ward and in the main he as been a tOud com.Cilman and will i.o doubt do well. His competitor, J. W. Coop« r, is one of our best bu-iness men aud a hu.-l ler. John Huston "the invincible" got there in great shape iu the 2,.d ward. His ma 'lity is not lar^e but big enough lie has been av A No 1 councilman a..d will look well alter the interests of the t^.iy. He was given a serenade b/ the Martial Band after his victory. Mr. Huston is modest but feeling first rate thank you.

Taylor Morford, one of Greenfields cleverest men, defeated a good man by a handsome majority iu the 3rd ward. Mr. M. is a successful busiuess man and the city's interests are safe iu his hands.

What has been done can not be undone and the will of the majority is surpreme. The REPUBLICAN desires that the new administration may coudnet the city government so that our affairs may go smoothly and prosperously aud strictly according to law.

The men and women are of the color of the soil, putting one much in mind of the clay eaters of South Carolina. A few little patches of clay had been endeavored to be tilled here and there along the route. The stock were all poor and the fencing the fame way. It is peculiar how a travelers destination will recede, then draw near when on a strange road. We would interrogate an old "Hayseed" about the distance and he would report it about 8 miles, then after going about that distance in the proper direction, the next report from mossback would be 10 miles stranger. Many of them living in two miles of a postoffice had never heard of it. Ask them various questions pertaining to the country none of which they knew anythiug about, ending, by asking them if they knew that Christ died for sinners, and we would receive tne ejiculatiou "Law! i* he ead? We live back herein the woods and never see a newspaper."

The rivers were of a milky color, made

so

by the soap stone soil, and if one could forget their troubles long enough it would possibly remind them of the land "That floweth with Milk aud Honey." Barring the honey.

There is not a hundred yards of gravel roads in Jennings county. Struggling, toiling and praying along, we beg lt wish for a view of the sweet counteuauce of a Shelby county toll gate woman, even if it had taken our last cent, aud she had been red headed with a wart on her uose. We finally came to the hamlet of 'Que nsville' sitting like a 'gem' on the Jerkwater railroad. In choosing names for their towns, it strikes us the Jennings countyans imitate the negro in choosing names for their offspring. Queeusville aud others similar iu name. We met several who were piuiug to get away from the county, which is sensible. Near dark we came to North Vernon, a town of about 2,000 inhabitants, Old Vernon the county seat, containing about 750 iu-

lies two miles south North

Vertiou has two papers the Plain Dealer Wud Son and Old Vernon has one, the Banner. Arriving in Old Vernon we were greeted with the pleasant news that If we desired to resui «e our journey we must cross the Mescatatuck river south of towu. that night, as it was rising and would possibly not be fordable iu the morning. This was rendered more pleasant from the fact that it was pouring down rain and getting dark, some men kindly followed us to the cr. ek and directed us how to drive in, iu order to cross Bafely which we succeeded iu doing. After driving some distance over some mountains we saw a light, this proved to be a negro's cabin, who took us in and cared for us nicely over night and cared for rui lior.-e likewise. He was a great deal more nicely fixed than many white men and our stay was no means unpleasant. In summing up we had traveled about 16 miles from 10 o'clock a. in., to ?:.H) p. m., aud had walked most of the way. j'

We traveled the old State road south and had fmr roads as far as llutler's Switch, four miles. In pass ng in:o Jefferson county the lads were belter but not graveled. The country Was more level and we saw some good farming 'and the wheat all along the line was iu line condition. From Vernon it is 22 miles to Madison and Keut our destination heii-g 9 miles west of Madison, we necessarily had a nig days travel if the roads were as bad as we had passed over, but they were not. After winding among the hills ir some time in the viciuity of Kent and coining nea~ uet ting washed away in a turbnlent stream called Big creek, we came to Kent, the scene of our Editor's boyhood days, he had no doubt fished aud bathed iu the aforesaid stream, and rambled over the hills robting birds nests as any boy would His parents possibly not even thinking of makiug "An Editor outen of him."

(ireat was the relief experienced when we become acquainted with Father and Mother Montgomery, and "travel st.ined" and weary had relieved ourselves as much as possible of the Jennings county clav, aud had partaken of a good dinner spread by as kind aud motherly care, as though we were her own boys. I'll I el you boys if you wan- s.\ mpathy along life's rugged road, \OII have but to meet the inotiieis who have boys of their ow n. After meeting Harvej and Kuth the son and

ilown to re.»t that night, I thougnt of Will Carleton's words "One Thing.-." settled with me "To appreciate lleaen well, it is good for man to have a little while in hell."

Kent is a pretty little town, it has three large churches although it has but a'out, 100 inhabitants. As there was preaching at the Baptist, church that uight, we attended. Cotisiu Will having been buy in the meantime had become acquainted with several of the pretty girls. Among the-e Maggie Crosby a uice young lady, whom he had the effrontery to take lo church, but of course that is a si cret of our own and I will not divulge it. Our brief «tay was a most pleasant one ate1 it was with reluctance that we started on our return journey, carrying the good will a id best wishes no doubt, of our new friends at Kent aud in addition a uice lunch l'or future reference. We were advised to shun Jennings county ou our return and we did so, besides Mr. Montgomery said we should view the scenery ou the Keut road to Mad&on which we resolved to do. I met a Mr. L. F. Wiley at Mr. Montgomery's store, who beard us talking of hills ami told us that we should see Trimble county, Kentucky that a man had fell out of his coru field and broke his leg, last fall. The scenery about Kent is beautiful and calculated to make one like the place and create a desire to "iit it again. It was a lieautiful morning wheu we drove out of Keut towaid Madison after bidding adieu to our friends and recei ing the benediction of our editor's parents, who have beeu Chris tian workers for years, we departed in adifferent frame of mind from that with which we entered there.

The road leadiug from Kent with the exception of about two miles is in tine conditiou, being covered with broken stone making it second to none for smoothness. As the road winds around the soul side of the Indiana hills^a view is secured of the surrounding country the Ohio river and the hills of Kentucky for about five miles, it seemed that everything "Conspires to make the sceue glorious," and tuis pencil feels the poverty of lan gtiag* 'oo much, to attempt to descvibe ii. Madison claims 10,000 inhabitants but it does uot seem to have that many. It has spread as far iu all directions as possibb without chmbiug the hills. The ciiy lies in a valley about mile wide audi two miles long. The maiu industries-are the ship yard,, breweries and woolen milts, street cats run east and- west through tin city and we saw some fine residences. The cows and h-gs were tanning at large but the town presented a neat ap pea ranee for all that. The riwr presented a fine appearance there, with tlu steamboats plying up aud down. We started north front Madison ou the Mk-h igan road up through the hills and sa»some be-iutiful scenery that we eujoved very much uutH we caine to a toll gate, bnt we were not reluctant to pay our f• II The jevel country through Jefferson i? flue farming laud and we saw some tin* farm residences.

through Jefferson county to the Ripley county line. The ro.ids through Kipley were level and white aud good traveling, no chuck holes or hills and the land unilraiued and too poor to sprout a mortgage, The people seemed to be busy and their wheat looked well v\e saw some planting corn. In Ripley the stock is all kept up iu the wood pastures, and the corn, wheat aud clover fields all exposed to the road. We did not see a cow any other animal out, in crossing the county. We saw some forests of white oak in Riple that were worth thousands of dollars. It being too wet to plow, men were working the roads. did not see a fat nice looking horse in the county, all aloug our route the soil was poor and not pioductive like Hancock Miil.

Passing north-east through "Correct." we reached Versailles the county seat a town of about 900 inhabitants aud uninteresting. Turniua noith west 'on the Michigan road we .assed through Osgood a better town than Veisailles. having a bank, line school-budding and churches, which is accounted for by the fact that

newspaper We met several yokes of cattle drawing their loads of lumber etc., ou low wooden wheeled wagons with aiiont eight inch tread, and eventhing had the appearance of several years ago. Knowing the reputation of Ripley county for lawlessness and crime we felt relieved hen we c.nne to the Decatur line. That tiow there was no one lo molest or make afraid. Crossing into Decatur county we came lo the iiille town of »t Omer, the scene of the Walton murder a few years ago. Mr*. Ellen Walton who was mar ri*d to old man Walton, bee line enamored with a young man named Marion Garrett, which resulted in the woman hiring a uegro to shoot her husband through a window with a shot gun, which he did after dri king a jug of whisky. Garreit was hung, the negro was sent to the penitentiary for lite and died there last lufi the woman was sent to the female reformatory and langubheth there yet. Many of our readers are familiar with the par ticulars.

Tne Decatur county people did not seem noted for their hospitality, an our efforts to find quarters for the night »eem ed unavailing until we came to a neat farm hoa-e occupied by 0 »ediah Martin, .v clever christian gentleman living near the "Poor wools," being an hungered and tired, he and his good wife gave'us meat and1a good comfortable bed, and at moriiiug did not desire' any pay for the same. Xr doubt having in mind the scripture "In as much us ye have did rt to the leant of these, ye have did it toMe."

Gi'eensburg. This is a beaatiful lit le ciey of 4,00^ inhabitants and' has a fine system of water works, fine- two story churches, elegant school buildings aud fine residences.
