GREENFIELD should have water-works by all means. Can not some plan be devised by which they will be put in with out cost to our citizens, and run as a private enterprise.

JUDGE MCNUTT of Terre Haute, a Democrat, has declared unconstitutional the police bill passed by the late Democratic Legislature, which applied to Terre Haute and gave to that city a wide open saloon policy. Indiana Democratic Legislatures always seem willing to violate the constitution to help their friends, the saloon keepers.

Judge John W. Jones, of Hutchinson, Kansas, was recently while in Chicago interviewed by the Chicago Inter Ocean and in a column and a half article he gave the causes and the cure for the depression that is afflicting the agricultural interests of this country. The article is being extensively copied as it is a sound one and contains good Republican doctrine throughout.

WEnot.e from our correspondents that foreign Building and Loan Associations and some other money making schemes are being worked in some of the towns of this county. We would warn the people to beware of them. Plausible men will show you how wonderful profits may be reaped but they fail to say that said profits will lodge in the pockets of the officers and managers of the above companies— for they are not nhilantropists by any means. Organize a home building and loan association and keep your money, profits and all at home.

THE Associated Charitv Organizations of the United States which have been holding their National meeting at Indianapolis, adjourned this week. The work is moving grandly on. What should be done, is for the great mass of the people to act in concert and see that laws are passed and also observed that will stop the making of paupers and criminals by the wholesale. They are here now and must be taken care of but the remedy should be applied at the root and the cause of the disease destroyed.

AT Cincinnati this week a convention or mass meeting has been in session. It is composed of many parties and men with various ideas. The various farmers and citizens alliances and associations, Labor Union, National, Union and Greenback parties were represented. Many were after offices and many were after relief from some of the unjust burdens they have been compelled to bear. There is a feeling of unrest among a large number of the people. They desire to better their conditions and think that much aid may be derived from desired legislation. The questions most largely agitated are finance, transportation, labor and land.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal has an article on "Heredity in Statesmanship,'7 and says a look at the roster of the United States Senate shows there is a dangerous tendency toward hereditary succession. It is all in his mind. He quotes the examples of the Stocktons, where four generations were members of the Senate, and the Feelinghuysens, also of New Jersey, where three generations held the Senatorship. The Bayards of Delaware, Camerons of Pennsylvania and Colquitts of Georgia. The seed of the greater number of these seems to be running out and some new names will have to be presented before the Nation becomes badly scared. The fact is that the failure of the children of great men to measure up to the standard of their fathers physically, mentally and morally has been notably the case. Were it not so our race would be more rapidly gaining in all that goes toward making perfection.

THE Republican party has always been the people's party. Progressive, wideawake, ready for emergencies and equal to the occasion. Under her fostering care the Nation has grown and the people have prospered. Laws and measures have been passed which many believe could have been bettered, but it is indeed hard to make laws for the general good without occasionally working individual hardships, and such has been the case but the fact remains that our progress as a Nation and a people has been wonderfully prosperous and blessed above that of auy other Government. The country has been developed and industries established. The time has now arrived when the Americans will reach out and extend our commerce and trade and a new era of prosperity be inaugurated. The Republican party has brought about this state of affairs over continued opposition. The party is progressive and policies are changed aa the needs of the country and the people demand. The circulating medium is being increased, commerce extended, transportation facilitated and cheapened and labor and industry increased.

THE Chicago and Erie Railroad, and the Big Four Railroad, havt* fired all Dagoes working for them.

AT CINCINNATI this week the great Mass Convention decided to establish another party and the Peoples Party was born amid great confusion. They bid for the support of the discontented of all classes. Mr. Taubeneck of Illinois was made National Chairman.

THE senseless waste of natural gas in flambeaux burners still continues in our city. Thousands upon thousands of dol lars worth of the choicest fuel upon earth is uselessly wasted. Why not establish an electric light plant that would illuminate our city most beautifully, and at moderate cost, and save the gas for the continued upbuilding of our city and its prosperity.

The enterprise of Messrs. Lennox & Ramsey in giving a grand concert at the opening of their new grocery and music room in Grand Hotel building last Friday evening, was indeed commendable. It was given by twelve of the best musicians of Indianapolis, assisted by Mr. Lennox, who for a number of years has been a member of their organizaticn. The music was indeed fine, and highly appreciated by the large number of citizens who attended. The clarionet solo by Mr. Lennox was a feature highly appreciated.

THE emigration question will not down. Too many of the bad classes are coming. America and Americans can not stand it. The trouble with Italy has not checked the Italian emigration, but from 2,000 to 3,000 are reaching our shores each week. These are from fifty to seventy-five cent a day fellows, and are employed in gangs and droves, on streets, in mines, and on railroads. They can, and do live in squalor, and hived together. Americans can not do that. They like air and sunshine, a bright home, a loving wife and cheerful joyous children. Fifty cents a day will not bring ruch things. The Chinese have been practically shut out with their cheap labor and poor living. The criminals, paupers, and vagabonds of Europe should have the door shut against them, and only emigrants allowed to come who will make good, industrious citizens.

THE following questions are now attracting the attention of men interested in questions of Government. They were sent to all the members of Congress, and replies received from fifty-five of them. The replies of the Republicans and Alliance members are largely in accord, and the Democracy ranged on the other side: 1. Do you favor Government ownership of the telegraphs throughout the country? 2. Do you favor Government ownership of the railroads? 8. Do you favor the establishment of postal savings banks? 4. Do you favor the restoration of silver to the position it occupied before 1873 —viz., on an equality with gold as a monetary standard of value? o. In your opinion, what should be the volume of currency per capita in the country for the proper conduct of its business?

THE farmers of Hancock county should go into truck farming more largely than at present. More money can be made off of five acres of truck and small fruits than can be made off of 80 acres farmed in the regular way. It employs more labor and capital and brings largely increased returns. Next year Greenfield should have a canning factory without fail. No other industry would be so profitable for the farmers of the county and the citizens of Greenfield. The following from the New York Press shows the profitableness of truck farming:

One hundred millions of dollars invested in truck farming yields, from 585.000 acres of land, nearly $77,000,000 worth of production, giving constant occupation to 240,000 men, women and children, and 76.000 horses and mules, Truck farms, as a rule, are on lands far removed from markets, and this marvelous advance in capital investment and people employed is due entirely to the contemporaneous extension of railroad facilities.

WITH this issue begins the fourth year of the present management of the REPUBLICAN. The paper starts in with more favorable auspices than ever before. Its advertising patronage was never before so large, its job department is kept busy filling the numerous orders which our friends and patrons so kindly furnish. The circulation has increased to such an extent that the REPUBLICAN claims the largest circulation of any paper in the county. This week the circulation is 1992 and as the list is increasing rapidly it will soon be beyond the 2000 limit. We confidently expect with the assistance of our friends to build the list up to 2500 bona fide, good reliable paying subscribers. The other departments are also to be built up equal to the subscription list and here again we ask the assistance of our friends. The associations and friendships formed with the go'„«d people of Greenfield and Hancock county have indeed been pleasant. May they become closer, stronger and more pleasant as the years go by. The REPUBLICAN will be found striving to build up the best interests of all our people and to give all the news.

THE GREENFIELD RBPTJBLIOAN, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1891.

®t§

In driving down toward Cumberland, I was impressed with the fact that nature never looks more beautiful than in the springtime. It is difficult to describe the beauty of her head gear, and the goodness of God that is manifest on every hand, that clothes the fields and woods in "Darling Green," and interperses them with blossoms of all colors and sweet perfumes. Town folks should take a drive in the country.

At Cumberland I accompanied Henry Weise, junior member of the firm of F. W. Witte & Co., to his father's home up in the country. We traveled along nicely until we came to Mrs. Caylor's toll gate, when Henry side tracked a "Minute" at Mr. Buchanon's to speak to some one. I waited at Mrs. Caylor's, and after a "minute" had almost grown into 30, I knew that his best girl lived there. Finally we resumed our journey over some fine country comprised of nice farms. The patient farmers cm all hands busily engaged in rattling the clods about. Andrew Weise, Henry's father, owns a beautiful farm up on Grassy creek, fertile and neatly arranged, everything about his premises denoting the abode of a thrifty, intelligent Republican farmer, reminding one of our Sugarcreek German farmer friends. Mr. and Mrs. Weise are nd and hospitable people and my stay with them was pleasant indeed. They attended the excursion to Richmond the next morning, which was attended by several of Cumberland's citizens, among whom I noticed Mrs. John S. McConnell.

After shaking hands with several of our Cumberland friends I came this way. North of Gem and Philadelphia I came to the homes of our pations on all sides. I met Ebenezer Scotton, he is 84 years old being the oldest man in Buckcreek township. I will have a talk with the old gentleman one of these days. I stopped at the home of his son Albert Scotton, the fine Poland China Hog raiser, went with him and inspected his stock which is firstclass in every particular and will wake up the natives at our coming fairs. I rested awhile at his home and heard his daughters play and sing some nice songs, then rambled on. Our old prohi friend J. H. Apple was shelling seed corn and humming a tune seemingly at peace with all the world as I drove into his barn-lot. He greeted me with hello Doc taking me for some famed student of materia medica for which fact I felt much complimented, until he informed me that it was I)r. Collins of Mohawk, then I felt sorry (for Doc).

I stopped on a recent ramble and took dinner with E. L. Tyner and family, aside from being one of our most prominent stock merchants Mr. Tyner is one of our most live and energetic farmers. He was finishing planting corn and was fully up with the procession with all of his work. He showed me a fine imported Short Horn bull that weighs 2200 pounds. He was planting his last field in the old fashioned way, crossing it both ways with a shovel plow dropping by hand and covering it with a "straddle bug." Mrs. Tyner is a great deal better equipped for chicken raising than the average housewife. She has a nice start this spring and will no doubt enlarge her bank account this year. Having by industry and economy already placed $125 of her earnings to her credit. After a short religious discussion with Mr. Tyner I resumed my journey.

I succeeded in adding P. S. Tyner of Morristown and his brother J. M. Tyner to our list. They are sons of our old friend W, H. Tyner. Also P. O. Miller, of Morristown.

I interviewed Lemuel Hackleman at his home and on his proposition that he would become a patron providing I would come in, be friendly and dine with them, it is needless to state that I secured him immediately. I had the pleasure of meeting his son Luther and wife there, Mr. Hackleman is a practical printer and is now holding cases on the Indianapolis Journal. Mrs. Hackleman Sr., was Miss Hannah Hall in her girlhood days and a playmate of my mother/ They have played together bare footed in the riffles of Big Blue, and gamboled on the banks and sand bars some forty years ago, ere they began to anticipate the trials and vicissitudes of life. Mr. Hackleman has a fine farm in the beautiful Blue River valley all in a high state of cultivati.m'and he is in every way prepared to take life pleasantly and enjoy its sweets as they float down the stream of time.

I went north going through Fortville again, in passing I added J. Smail & Son to our subscription list. Mr. Smail has been an intense sufferer for several months with neuralgia in one of his eyes he is some better now, and ablefto assist his son a little at his store.

Going toward Alfonte I stopped and spent the night with our old friends Joseph Wynne and wife. They are among the kindest and most benevolent old people and it is a great pleasure to stop with them. A sketch of Mr. Wynne appears in another column.

Going through Alfonte I noticed that the stone foundation for the Randall elevator was being put in by our patron Jonathan Powell of Fortville. I became acquainted with the other Mr. Randall, and added the firm to the list of subscribers, also Burt Harrison. S. J. Cummins the postmaster and merchant said "Said send it tome." Mr. Cummins is giving good satisfaction as postmaster and is well patronized in his line of business.

Going toward Pendleton I passed 4he nice home of John Guy and his son

sey. I stopped and took a look at his stock, added the latter gentleman to our subscription list. A beautiful country residence with all the environments in neat order stood to the left further on toward Pendleton, this is the home of PeMingle. Knowing I would be received kindly as Mrs. Mingle is a daughter of our old friend R. Y. Barnard of Eden, I went in and made my manners to the lady and her daughter, added Mrs. Mingle's name to the list and resumed my journey.

At Pendleton I called on the liveryman Wm. Walker. He informed me that U. G. Taylor had taken my advice in a former issue and had taken a nice partner as a sharer of his joys and sorrows. Heres to the health, long life, and prosperity of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. B. F. Aimen and Taylor Bros, will rebui.d the two large elevators that were destroyed by fire a short time ago.

W. T. Mannon informed me that he was taking his meals at the restaurant now as his family were at Greenfield visiting Mrs. Mannon's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Raines.

J. W. Cain was still turning out some line pieces of carpet, he has some of the prettiest patterns I have seen. He will exhibit them at the Greenfield fair.

I called on J. R. Silver & Son, J. W. Taylor of the firm of Todd & Co., Rogers & Thomas andC. B. Keesling. Mr. Keesling was remodeling his residence and was personally superintending the work, so Frank Thomas had charge of the store. I met Dr. Cook on the street had a pleasant chat with him, he said health was good and now he could take a little needed recreation.

Going to Milner Corner from Pendleton I hied myself to the neat farm residence of Jonathan Rogers, where I was taken in and cared for during the night. Mr. Rogers is making him a nice bank barn while the ground remains too dry to work he had his coru all planted but was too busy to complain of the dry weather. He has some of the finest bottom land in the county, good prospect for lots of fruit although some was killed by the frost. His son Henry recently bought 40 acres of laud of Dr. Troy, possibly with the in tention of settling down in life. This is the proper caper.

I called on Dr. Troy at Milner Corner, and had him show me around over his farm. He has much fine stock and is an earnest admirer of well bred animals. He recently purchased a pretty little Shetland pony and cart for his little crippled grand son Noble Troy. The little fellow fell off the fence when he was 3 years old and injured his spine and has not walked since. He was 13 years old last fall and weighs 40 pounds, but is an intelligent, bright and cheerful little man and has a friend in every one that knows him. The Dr. pets him a great deal and spares neither time nor money for his pleasure, he got him a gold watch and chain a short time ago. The Doctor is one of the wideawake men of the corner. He reported a 10 pound Republican boy that had recently come to stay at the home of Nathan Cranfield at Bunker Hill. This is their first born after having been married 15 years. Coming through Eden I noticed that Elwood Barnard was looking better. He is hustling the gas engine and placing many of them in his territory he now has gas attached to his churn which works admirably, see add in this paper. The buildings for their cane mills are completed and the machinery ready to be placed.

I met George Cooper on the road going up to his farm after banking hours to as sist the boys roll logs in the clearing. George has a splendid farm north of Maxwell which he has improved greatly since he has owned it. He has buried 682 rods of tile on his farm and made many other improvements showing that he has progress in his makeup. RAMBLEK.

A Mechanical Wonder.

The Decoration Day issue of the Albany, N. Y., Telegram will be the most original, unique and popular paper ever presented to the American public. Nothing like it ever attempted by a newspaper in the nineteenth century. As a mechanical wonder and a military literary library there will be nothing to even compare with it issued in this country. It will be printed on red, white and blue paper and consists of 16 pages. If there is no agent in your town you can have the paper mailed to you at 5 cents a copy.

A.'' Confidence Game.

It may be a surprise to most of our citizens to be told that there is a confidence game of the strongest kind

in our midst. But it is so. The editors of this paper have been aware that for a long time this confidence game has been in existence. There are many of our best citizens who are
