PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. VOL. 13, No. 50- Entered at the Postoffice as second-class mall matter.

W. S. MONTGOMERY, Publisher and Proprietor.

THE chances are that Grover Cleveland will have a hot old time during the next four years, and Democrats will stir the fire.

THE Auditor of State announced Dec. 1st that the Ohio Farmers' Insurance company is no longer authorized to do business in this State. In many states its risks have already been reinsured to other companies.

EXGOVERNOR, I. P. Gray, Is a very smooth politician, but if he succeeds in landing in Cleveland's cabinet, he will add to his political laurels. If Gray succeeds it will be over the opposition of Morss, Shanklin etal who largely assisted in nominating Cleveland.

CLEVELAXDS plurality in this state, as certifleld by the Secretary of State is 7,125. In the Sent inal guessing contest, Win. Fogel of Hoosietville, carried off the first prize, $50 for the closest guess as to presidential plurality, his guess being 7,101 or just 24 less than it was.

THE Supreme Court has held that the law compelling rail road companies to to place black boards in all stations and mark the time each train is due is constitutional. A fine of 10 is imposed for every train going through, that the time is not so marked. It will be a harvest for prosecuting attorneys as there have been thousands upon thousands of violations.

It has long been the custom of juries when they could not agree on the amount of a verdict for each man separately to get down the amount he thought proper and the various amounts divide by twelve and let the quotient be the amount awarded. The Supreme Court has recently held that such a verdict was invalid.

LAST year Indiana's road tax amounted to $2,269,675 this if properly expended would build between 2000 and 3000 miles of good pike roads. This would be from 20 to 30 miles per county and from five to ten years would make Indiana a model state so far as roads are concerned and Hancock county would be out of sight. Let us have good roads.

FOIJEION medical authorities are of the opinion that cholera will break out in Europe next year, and the only possible chance for the United States to escape its dread ravages, is for Congress to at once pass a law shutting out immigration for one or two years at least. By this time abetter knowledge of the subject would enable ua to determine our future policy in regard to immigration. There have recently however, been so many of the bad class of immigrants, that we are now suffering for the want of a good rest.

MR. PHII. D. ARMOUR, the millionaire pork packer, of Chicago has presented that city with $1,500,000 as a Christmas gift in the way of the Armour Manual Institute, and the money to support it. In addition to the uurivaled building and elaborate apparatus for teaching electricity, physics and chemistry, one of the finest libraries in the country and an absolutely perfect gymnasium, Mr. Armour puts behind the institute and the Armour mission his gift of $1,400,000 thus giving to the former an annual income of $50,000 and the latter $25,000.

THE insult to Speaker Charles Crisp, of Georgia, who was invited to tlie Reform Club banquet, at New York, last Saturday night, and then not asked to deliver the speech which he had prepared and which had already been sent out by the Associated Press, was a direct insult to speaker Crisp, but also to the House of Representatives itself. The fact is it is simply a begining of the fight between the Mugwumps and Gold Bng allies of Cleveland in New York and New England on one side, and Tammany Democtats and the regular Democracy of the South and West on the .other side.

Mel—means honey—ol—means oil, Melol means honey oil the best cathartic.

Pithy!

Democrat! kind, as will

How mad

Gould woull in his.wiH?

Some men gain wisdom with age, but the Prince of Wales isn't one of them. He is in another woman scrape.

Henry George, Jerry Simpson and the other free traders must begin to suspect the Democratic party of having buncoed them.

The country Is doing its best to make Congress understand that legislation is wanted to keep the cholera out of the United States.

Perhaps Mr. Cleveland has only been getting into practice, so that when he pulls his gun on Tammany tiger he can make a dead shot.

Oklahoma seems on the verge of getting the gold mining craze, which is a little worse than that for corner lots in future great cities.

Democratic rule has not been of financial benefit to the State of South Carolina, which will default in the payment of bonds next year.

One need not be rich to enjoy- making Christmas presents. It is not the value that is given,but the feeling that prompts the gift, that makes the pleasure,

The true philosophers in the Democratic party are those who express a willingness to leave the decision of the extra session question to Mr. Cleveland.

English holders of Confederate bonds are'said to be anticipating some action on the part of the Democratic Congress looking to their redemption. Foolish Britishers,

It begins to look as though the leaders of the Democratic party wanted to have the republicans organize the Senate of the fifty-third Congress. They are afraid of the responsibility.

There is nothing weak-kneed about the Presidents message to Congress. Benjamine Harrison is not a wobbler he stands now just where he stood when a candidate for re-election.

The present. Congress will be called upon to choose between a continuance of immigration and its consequent introduction of the cholera, or temporary suspension and less danger from cholera.

The British government asked for and obtained an extension-of 60 days in the time for submitting its final papers in the Bering Sea arbitration case, which postpones the first meeting of the arbitrators to Febuary 23, next.

Democratic Congressman sre so much afraid that they may injure their prospects for pap by offending Mr. Cleveland, that one of them has actually proposed that Mr. Cleveland prepare a tariff bill for the next Congress to pass. And these are the men selected by the voters of the country to make good times better. Bah!

Aren't Mr. Cleveland's friends a' little egotistical when they claim to have car-, ried New York in the face of Senator Hill's covert opposition? That Tammany majority in New York City certainly did not strike the ordinajy individual as a specimen of "covert opposition" to Cleveland, and no well-informed person will deny that Hill had, and has, absolute control of Tammany.

SOME people are flattering themselves that the Republican party is dead. In case they should attempt a funeral they would find the corpse not ready. The fact is the Republican party is alive, very much alive, and learned something recently. The REPUBLICAN has no sympathy with the men who Bourbon like declare that the present and the future hold no knowledge for them but their policy and purpose was fixed and irrevocably determined upon in the past. The Republican party pursued some things too far and others not far enough, but for all that its general policy is correct and only needs modification. The Democratic party did not get into power on account of any fixed ideas or principles for on great national issues they are divided/ The Democrats went into power on promises. They missrepresented the issues and gathered all the hosts of the dissatisfied and restless under its banner by promises it will never fulfil. The Democrats cast a drag-net for every disgruntled, unsatisfied man in the country whatever he wanted, they promised him. If he wanted silver, they said he should have his pockets full if he said "d-n the national bank," they said "d-n them," too if he wanted a bank of issue at every cross-roads, they promised him all he wanted. The Catholics and Lutherans wanted public schools abolished, and they said the "little red schoolhouse" must go. The laboring man said he was crushed under the heel of the capitalist, and they said "we will fix the capitalists. If a man wanted to strut*through Europe and buy a few trinkets without having to pay duty, they said, 'you can do so." Tbe people need not be alarmed the country will continue prosperous as existing laws will not be changed but little. In fact in a few years it would not be surprising to see tbe Democrats claiming to be the originators of the laws protecting American industries.

•"SPEAK nothing but good of the dead," has hardly been the motto of the newspapers in commenting upon Jay Gould since his death. His business principle was, a succesi by any means, and the money so acquired was selfishly hoarded. Selfish he lived and selfish he died, with bnt few mourners. Few parents would teach their children to pattern after Jay Gould. How much better the life of that wealthy philanthropist and philosopher, George W. Childs, of the Philadelphia Public Press.

THE rumor that James G. Blaine had become a Catholic or desired to do so is declared to be false by his son, Jamef G. Blaine, Jr. who says that his father is a staunch Presbyterian and always has been. The latest rumor in regard to Mr. Blaine however, is that he has consumption and that he will probably not last long.

B«»t Paper of the Republican Party. Every well informed family subscribes every year for more than one newspaper. The local newspaper occupies afield into which no other can enter but, on the other hand if there are reasons why nearly every family wishes (in addition to the one necessary newspaper, which it must certainly have, whether it takes others or not) to enjoy the perusal of the great editorials, foreign letters, book reviews, and special articles of a newspaper, which is edited for the country at large and devotes its attention to matters of national and general moment. In their choice of general newspapers this winter, our readers will do well to consider the attractions of The New Yor^ Tribune, now the ablest and most aggressive of Republican weeklies. Its price is low, $1 a year, but our clubing price, which see below,and its col* umns are crammed with strong, brilliant and entertaining matter. It is announced that the paper will continue to print the writing* of Koswell G. Horr, of Michigan on the Tariff, Reciprocity, Coinage, the Currency and the new projects of the Farmers' Alliance. Mr. Horr expounds the Republican doctrine ably and agreeably, over his own signature, every week in The Tribune and men of both parties who want the Republican arguments, can get them in The Tribune in extenso. The Tribune has a strong editorial page, and many non-political features of interest, including two pages a week of Agriculture and papers on special branches of Farming contributions by distinguished writers, over their own signature a page for old soldiers and many features of particular interest to families. One series of articles is entitled, "How to succeed in Life," written by successful men. The Tribune encourages and promises to answer the questions of young people on how to succeed. By calling at the REPUBLICAN office you can secure this great paper one year for fifty (50) cents.

Monopolies,

We frequently hear men on our streets, (in fact everywhere we go,) complaining of gigantic monopolies and trusts that exist in every form imaginable, for robbing the people on a large scale, but those small scale monopolies that exist and flourish right in our midst, are of more direct interest to the laborer and business man, and directly more disastrous to him than any other. Rings and schemes are formed in pojitical circles, for money getting by those in charge.

The various little associations that are formed with a benevolent design, by some philanthropic individuals, are many times prostituted by those in charge for their own enrichment, and the original design lost sight of. Laboring men, for whom they were formed, join them with the hope of ultimately becoming possessor by faithfulness and industry of a tittle home he can call his own but such societies are £. st becoming corrupted by the managers, who so arrange it that a lions share of the earnings go to them, and are not bestowed where they should be.

Small scale monopolies do also make a corner on "Gods fuel," natural gas. and the people dance to their music just the same, consequently the progressiveness of the vvorkingmeu and the community is killed, and enterprise is at a discount.

An Ancient War Relic.

Ex-Auditor James L. Mitchell received last week a silver badge inscribed as follows Seargt. J. L. Mitchell, Co. A. 19 Reg't Ind. Vol., Iron Brigade, War of 1861 which he had lost in December 1862 thirty years ago. The badge was lost in a hickory woods in Stafford Co. Virginia four miles north of Falmouth, when Mr. Mitchell was serving under Gen. Burnsider after the battle of Fredericksburg and the army was stuck in the mud. The badge was found by a man while digging potatoes last fall. A Mr. J. M. Wallace there wrote to the .Quarter Master General of the G. A. R. of this State at Indianapolis, who in turn sent the latter to Captain A I. Makepeace at Anderson and he forwarded it to Mr. Mitchell who very .gladly forwarded the finder of the badge a dollar aod in return received his badge. Mr. Wallace says he himself was a boy of thirteen at the time of the battle of Fredericksburg and that the Union Generals had their headquarters at his father's who lived in a large bricK house in an open field there. Mr. Wallace himself now occupies the same honse. This is much the style in the south, the sons live where their fathers did and property remains in the same family for generations.

The denizens of Greenfield must keep warm, they must also] have their food cooked, inasmuch as thpre are some portions of it that nature! did not destine should be bolted raw. Consequently our city is a veritable wood yard just now, of everything conceivable in the way of fuel, being raked and scraped from every place where it is procurable, and some of it paid for at. an extortionate price, as a seller seeks to finish the chapter of bleeding the people so admirably begun by the Greenfield Gas Company. Those denizens are paying of their earnings each month into the coffers of the said G. G. C., for the use of fuel and light, to be furnished by this aforesaid G. G. C. according as they agreed to do. but, is the fuel and light forth comings. Go over our city one of these crisp mornings and see. We venture that there is not one family in a dozen but are burning wood. Still they go on paying for gas, and a wealthy corporation continues to grow richer, and the poor poorer, as is the case where monopolies are at work. We htfve taken the pains to investigate the rates charged and services rendered by other Gas Companies, and in no case is the rate higher than that regul ited by our city ordinance. If they have not the ga3 as they claim not to have, let them go out and drill another well, as other Companies are doing in every part of the country where it is needed. It would be no more than a fulfillment of thair contract with the city of Greenfield, made when they accepted the ordinance prices, and laid their mains in our streets. They were granted the franchise with a full understanding that they were to furnish gas in sufficient quantities, and as there is an abundance of gas to be had merely by drilling a well or two, which will cause the expenditure of but a small part of their dividend, let more gas be produced at once. A number of citizens are thinking seriously of sueing them on their contract to have them fulfill their agreement. This Company could easily drill a well from the dividend that they are shoving deep down into their pantaloon breeches pockets each month, of money wrongfully taken from our people, where it lies there singing "Home sweet home." If not wrongfully let them rise up and explain. An anxious shivering community await the explanation. In no part of the gas field is the situation just such as it is here.

The Indianapolis News Writes up GreenHeld. Last Saturday the Indianapolis News gave Greenfield (a handsome write up. Her developement and growth since natural gas was "struck,"was the principal theme. The advertisement will no doubt be of much benefit to us. The greater number of our leading enterprises were touched up. The News is a wide-awake and successful paper. It not only keeps up with the procession, but leads it, and it takes a hustling paper to keep in sight of the News. It is the most popular paper in the State, and spends considerable money for special and popular features. Many people like it as a newspaper, who say its politics

A Statement ot Pacts Por Delinquents. It takes considerable money to run a newspaper, and the money has to be paid at the end of each week. There are improvements that have to be added, and repairs that frequently have to be made, these also take money. The REPUBUCAN now has a list of over 2,600 subscribers, and a considerable delinquency among its subscribers makes quite a large amount in fact much larger than we are able te carry. In view of the fact that the amount owed by each delinquent is not large but the aggregate very large, we ask every subscriber who owes the REPUBLICAN to call in the office and settle, before the first of Jauuary.

Deaths.

Reported by C. W. Morrison & Son, Undertakers.

Good News for the People's Gas Co. The directors of the People's Gas Co. have leased the Raridan gas well and it will be turned into their mains to-day or to-morrow. This insures plenty of gas to some of the patrons of that Company who have been a little short. Mr. Neely and partner will to-morrow begin drilling on the new well for the People's Co. on the Thomas Wiley farm on the Noblesville pike.
