This world is but a fleating: how, Its fool is my wonder, The politicians' ways and wiles, Their teas of woe, dec.ltful smiles Stir up my soul, my nature riles,

Tuere's nothing sure, by|thunder! —Grover Cleveland.

Is THE campaign this year all years old prejudices should to principles.

THE

in fact in give way

farmers of this country should be warned by the conceded fact that free trade, or a tariff for revenue only, has ruined the agriculture of England.

THE Adams family furnished two Presidents to the United States, and the Harrison family has furnished two and Gen. Ben Harrison will receive two terms. After this a second representative of the Lincoln family will no doubt be elected in the person of Robert T. Lincoln.

THE Democratic party is hopelessly divided on every National issue. Now on the eve of the presidential election they can not hope to become reunited and who ever heard of a party winning the victory who went forked end foremost into the fight. No the Democrats will not win this time.

THIS story, told by Senator Sherman apropos to the the refusal of certain Democrats to admit that their party is a free silver party, says the Meriden Republican, is very much to the point: An Irishman walking through a cemetery came upon a headstone with the inscription: "I Still Live." *'Be jabbers," said Pat "if I was dead I'd own up to it."

THE Shelby ville Democrat says that the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Chicago papers will conduct the democratic campaign in Indiana this year while the Indianapolis Sentinel flounders around in political contortions trying to swallow its crow. The Hancock Democrat is also forninst Cleveland but it also says that neither Cleveland or Hill should be nominated but that Govenor Gray of Indiana deserves and should ha, the nomination.

"I do say that the enormous sum paid in the way of pensions is a double hardship on the people of the South," said General Paterson of Tennessee, one of the plain spoken ex-Confederate Brigadiers in the House. He objects to pensions because they draw money away from the South and put it in the hands of Union veterans at the North. £The old soldiers tjo not have to guess twice to say what the Democrats would do for pensions in case they should elect the President and secure control of the Senater as well as the House.

PEOPLE frequently wonder at bad legislation and the careless disregard for the rights of the people which seam to actuate too many of our lawmakers. The fact is not hard to account for when you consider legislators as a body. They do not average-up with what representation ought to be. The thinkers, the moral men as a rule are in the minorities and the other fellows make the laws. With both legislators and Congressmen it is largely self first, party next and principles last. The fact is principles get a very poor show by the time they are reached.

IT must be humiliating to many leading Democrats when they read of convention resolutions favoring Cleveland as "The one great and only man in the party". The Republican thinks that a man would hate to belong to a party with but one great man in it. The Democratic party however is lamentably weak when it comes to great men. The Republican party on the other hand has thousands who are great and a tower of strength on account of their own personality.

HOLDING as they do that a large pa,rt of the money paid out in pensions is drawn from the South, the ex-Confeder-ates would like to pay in 70-cent dollars. Of course they would prefer to have the pensions stopped altogether, but if that is impracticable they would be glad to scale them down 30 cents on the dollar. The South savs that paying pensions a largt amount of which money comes from the South with none returned makes their people poor, while the people at the North are largely benefited as all the pension money is paid and expended there. Should the Democrats, headed by the South secure control of all three branches of government that have to do with pensions, they would make short work of the pension system. There will be but few old soldiers vote either directly or indirectly in a way that assists the Democracy to power.

Two many people are afraid of ideas. They pooh-pooh everything and tenciously cling to the traditions of the past and the opinions of their fathers. Such a coarse is safe. They are not put to the trouble of defending their position. A man should not be afraid of his own judgments. Have opinions and stand by them. -'What would people say" makes cowards of too many people who otherwise would make a much greater and more lasting impression upon those with whom they associate. With conviction and courage one can make a mark.

THIS is evidently a Republican year. The election every where throughout the north are going Republican. The city elections of Ohio including Cincinnati, Cleveland and other large cities were Republican. The Republicans swept every thing in Michigan and Illinois including Chicago. The Republican cities held thir own and Democratic strong holds were captured. Rhode Island yesterday swelled the rising tide of Republican success not withstanding the great efforts of the Democrats with Cleveland, Ex. Gov. Campbell of Ohio, etc. The Northern states will about all be Republican this fall and Harrison re elected by a larger majority than before.

A CERTAIN class of newspapers are quarreling with the use of electricity in the execution of murderers, because it distorts the features and here and there scorches the skin. They argue that the method is not p-iinless and hence to be rejected. As a (•omproti ise, how would it do to send eacli one our. .£ the world in the same manner h" !ir patched his victim? There are too many ro? water notions in this outcry for "painless" methods of hustling out of the world these human wild beasts who area curse to it as long as they are in it. For the most part they .ire cruel cowards, who attack their victime unawares, and usually put them to death in most cruel ways.—Rush ville Republican-

THE issue upon which the campaign will be fought this year are industrial problems. The relations of capital and labor employer and employee protection or free trade taxation finance. These questions are to be discussed aoddecided by the voters and it behooves every man to read and reflect and then act accox*ding to his own judgement. It is the present and future policies of parties that should guide your action. The previous records of the various parties will largely aid you in deciding how to cast your vote. Let it be with that party which has always kept step and time with the mai'ch of ideas and the progress of the times. The party that has done so in the past gives greater promise of doing so in the future'

The Fountaintown gas company have been experiencing some difficulty with one of their gas wells recently. In endeavoring to repack it, it stole a march on them and gentiy blew a hundred feet of the pipe into the air. It is said that J. E. Smith made about the best time of any one in getting away from the scene that after he had rushed exhausted into his store, he turned and remarked to those following "you had to run a little didn't you boys."' The well was safely anchored however and it is one of the best in this section. The company is now giving good service to all its consumers. Henry Inlow is now the secretary of the company. B. F. Sturgis is one of the active business men of the village and has a good trade. He is selling many agricultural implements.

J. E. Smith and his store is one of the absolute necessities of the town and has been for 25 years. His store is noted for good goods and reasonable prices. Harvey is a good natured and chief salesman. The people of Fountaintown are much pleased with the correspondents from that point. They are newsy and deserve to be appreciated.

J. P. Armstrong of Carrollton is enjoying a nice trade now, his stock of goods is fresh and new. His prices duplicate any prices in his section,

The people of that quiet town are much exercised over a new school-house. It is the opinion of ye scribe that they need and are entitled to anew house, as the old one is in a much damaged condition.

Dr. Larimore has an extensive practice and is prospering nicely. He is an avowed Republican and a zealous advocate of his party's principles. He is a close student of medicine and has a justly merited patronage at New Palestine.

John rtuber has buckled on his harness for spring business and has a flue display of farm implements and utensils of the latest designs, all of standard makes Mr. Huber is one of New Palestines best citzens aud d/als fairly and honorably with his patrons. Give him a call when in need of anything in his line.

B. Schildmeier has built up an excellent business in the hardware trade since he came to New Palestine. His store is filled with all things pertaining to his business. He is selling the well known Walter A. Woods binder and mower this machinery is well known and no one is disappointed who buys the Woods machinery. He also sells buggies aud vehicles of all kinds. He duplicates city prices and by patience and industry he is sure to make money.

Eaton & J-'spey has an increased following aud they anticipate a larger business than ever before. Their line of general merchandise is larger than ever before. They have many novelties in Spring dry goods, that the ladies would do well to st e.

WaltK & Richainan have added carpets to their business and one can get a new carpet without going to the city for it. It is a pleasure to note enterprise and lend our assistance when possible to do so. The fact that they study carefully the wants of customers is a winning card and, as fast as people learn of the pains that' are being taken in their, behalf, they will not be slow to appreciate it. This meains a small business grows to mammoth proportions. Messrs W & are in evety

THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. APRIL 7, 1892.

way deserving of the confidence reposed in them. At the close of Will Larrabee3 school at the McNamee school-house, he gave an entertainment which was replete with fun and amusement. Schrum Bros, furnished the music, that good judges pronounced first-class Will is reported as a good teacher and it will be no trouble for him to get a school when he wants it. John Arthur has disposed of his interests at his mother's farm, to his brother-ic-law Oscar Groves and has gone to Indiauapolis to work at the carpenter trade. Mr. Groves is a good farmer and will run the farm properly.

Our patron O. S. Rogers has removed from Indianapolis to Julietta. He has rented an excellent shop and equipped it with new black-smith and wood workers tools. He is now dciug a good business. Mr. Rogers is a splendid workman aud I hope the people will patronize him as he deserves. I ate a good dinner at his home prepared by the careful wife. They have two nice children, all enjoying good health and they are happy.

Frank Bade lias a nice store at Julietta he is also post master. Mr Dade is a Republican and a reader of this paper.

James Alexander of Brightwood was loading logs on the cars at Julietta. Ho has beenengaged in the business at that point for six months and has shipped thousands of logs from there.

On my way to Cumberland I stopped to interview our correspondent. She was entertaining a lady friend from Indianapolis.

Mrs. J. S. McConnell had driven over to Greenfield on business and pleasure. J. S. McConnell has one of the niceft stores in our territory, he has it .filled with all things pertaining to a first-class, general store. Mr. McConnell is a pleasant gentleman and has an excellent trade. He is wide-awake and an energetic businessman and saves no pains to minister to the wants of his customers in a satisfactory manner. He handles the famous Buckingham remedies in connection with his business. See his ad. in another column.

J. R. Ebaugh had recovered from a severe illness and was busy at his farm Work. Mrs. E. and Anna Shepherd have charge of the store.

Adrian Shepherd has a great deal more business than he could dispose of since Wm. Hupe came to his untimely end. Wm. was a jovial sort of a gentleman, rather good looking. He was a widower with two or three children and seemed to enjoy himself as much as any of we solemn brood of care, until he conceived a rather too intimate liking for another man's wife. His infatuation bordered on madness. He seemed intelligent and as the is market stocked with marriageable females his infatuation was strange indeed, as the lady in question is an ordinary looking woman about 30 years of age. She seemed to like him as she was in his company frequently and they had their pictures taken together recently. It was said that she remarked that she hated to leave her husband but she wanted Hupe too. Hupe had offered the husband mouey to pay the divorce proceedings if lie would get a divorce and let him have her, but the husband refused, very naturally preferring to keep her himself. Hupe then declared he would kill the husband. Kregur and his wife were on their way to swear his life against Hupe, when Hupe walked before them shoved the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth and pulled the trigger and he was free from liis trouble. The lady was very iadi.'l'erent to the outcome, went .-about lior business and did not attend his funeral. It is said that he had made arrangements to go to housekeeping in Cumberland, thus ends the tale of another "Village Blacksmith" and the woman is now living contented with her husband.

Peter Franzman was peacefully and contentedly dozing in his chair at the creamery office, after investigating the accounts of the company and finding that they were prospering. Mr. Franzman has charge of the business and the excellence ,of his management is evident from their prevailing prosperity. They make butter that readily retails at 30 cents per pound.

Fred Hilkene is butter-maker and the demand and price of the product is sufficient evidence of his ability.

Chas. Gale, the jolly and popular miller of Cumberland is having a gas well put down near his mill. Mr. A. Cole has the contract.

W. M. Andis of the Gem store is having good trade and is prospering nicely. I attended an exhibition at the Gem school house at the closing of the schools. The entertainment was fair the house was jammed full, making miserable all that were present. The pieces would perhaps have been better appreciated had they closed the doors when the house was full. The Redmeyer Bros, of Cumberland furnished the music which was excellent The packed condition of the house was willingly taken advantage of by love lorn lads and lassies to rest their heads on each others bosoms and to indulge in various other demonstrations of affections that would be considered out of place, except when not observed or in a crowded house.

I stayed over night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Elliott. Mrs Moses Marsh and child re were visiting at Mr. Elliotts. Mrs. Elliott was attacked with a severe spell of nose bleed while I was there, that lasted two or three hours. Dr. Bell of Philadelphia was called and administered the necessary remedies and when we left the bleeding had stopped although the lady was much weakened.

There two little daughters Ethel and Bessie are pretty and intelligent and possess a knowledge beyond their years. They have attended school two years in succession and neither of them have missed a day or been tardy in the whole time. Their school-house is 1)4 miles away. This is an example of faithsulness worthy of immitation There little girls are aged eight and ten years.

R. M. Meek now has charge of the Postoffice at Philadelphia. Messrs Meek Bros, haye an excelleut store and they sell at prices consistent with the times. Mr. Meek sends the REPUBLICAN to A.

Meek of JrenolaKan. Levi McCormack has au ad in this issue calling attention to the empire fence on short notice. Mr. McCormack has the exclusive right to use Mosleys patent wire fence brace, said to be the best ever invented.

Mrs. Oliver Hunt who taught school at Philadelphia was making preparations to go to Danville to school. She is reported as an excellent teacher. Her paper on tho subject of "Nicotinia," tobacco read before tho New Palestine Institute has received much favorable comment. Mr. Hunt is tho minister in the Friends church is a pleasant gentleman and now a reader of llie REPUISLICAN. RAMBI RR
