THE difference between Washington and Cleveland is about this: "Washington was first in war, first in peace and first In the hearts of his countrymen." Cleveland was among the first to hire a substitute, first at the fish pond and first to espouse the cause of Queen Lil.—New Castle Courier.

THE report that Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease of Kansas, was a Mason has been extensive circulated. Mrs. L.f however, does not claim to have ridden the goat, but says she once, with the assistance of a friendly Mason, saw a candidate iniatiated. She claims to have tested the grips and pass words and found them O. K.

SENATOR CULHTM, of Illinois, has introduced a bill for a Tariff Commission of nine members, at a salary of $5000 each, to be appointed by the President, by and with the consent of the Senate. In shall be the duty of this Commission to inquire into the rate of wages in the various industries both in this country aud Europe, and then equalize our tariff or duties accordingly. Annual changes can then be recommended. The idea is to protect American labor and captitol. Legislate in favor of America, instead of some foreign country, and yet work no hardship on any man.

IT make one proud to think he lives in IT tncock county, as he rides through on the Panhandle train. Me can see "Old Glory'1 waving over the fine big brick public school buildings of Charlotte,'sTille, Philadelphia aud Gem, and just over the line the Cumberland school. Then the flag is over dozens of other schools, which you can see as you drive ever the country. Hurrah for old Hancock and her patriotic teachers and children. Greenfield schools will certainly not let the year go by without puttiBg up flags over our buildings. Let the children organize committees in each school, and see who will be first.

THE Northern Democrats are awakening to the fact that the Southern Democrats are running things with a vengeuce and against the best interests of the East, North and West. Ex-Mayor bram Hewitt, of New York, at the mthern Society's banquet in Sew York last week, gave the members some plain and unpleasant truths. He claimed the strong men of the south had drifted north, and were in business here for the money there was in it, while the southern Representatives and Senators were not as able as they once were, but as demagogues were pandering to the vicious tendencies and wild vagaries of their constituents, and that the north too readily yields to their power. On Monday Senator Brice, of Ohio, made a red hot criticism on the Wilson tariff bill. He said: "It is a sectional bill favorable only to the south, and that its burdens will be carried by the people if (he East North and West. The commer* eial interests of the country now are, and for some time have been, in the hands of a sub-committee of three exrebel brigadiers, who are idealists, meaning Jones, of Arkansas, Vest, of Missouri and Mills, of Texas. Not one of these men have a practical knowledge of the tariff subject. The south by it expects to build up her languishing industries. Nothing is given the other sections of the country. The South gives nothing, but wants to take everything. The Wilson bill will not in its preseet form pass the Senate. Who wants to help be the Northern tail to the Southern kite.: Brice stirred up a hornets nest, but the South will control just the same, so long as the Detnocrafs are in power.

GUOYEli'S AXNAUKL, I-EJI.

It is uot very many long months ago, In a kingdom out in the sea, That a princess there lived whom you all know,

By the name of Lill' oka-la-nee And this princess existed with

no

other thought

Than to be re-instated by me. Now she was determined and I was dead set On her having this throne in the sea, Aud we schemed with a zest that was more than a jest,

Greshani and Spreckles and me So that her liigh-toned subjects came And tore her away from me And straightwaV made a provisional kick,

On this scion of black royal-tee.

But our neatly laid schemes were met by the plans Of others us crafty as we, Aud 1 lore patriotic than we

But neither the angels in Heaven above Xor the demons down under the sea, an ever persuade me to think or believe That this ain't true Dem-oc-ra cie.

And the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of my fat Sandwich there in the sea And the stars never rise, but I hear the wild cries

To depose Lilli oka-la-nee, Lo all the night tide I keep close by my side The newspaper's accounts of my prestige that died, Since releasing those isles in the «ca—

Since befriending Lill'-oka-hi-uee. Greenfield, hid. K. M. SCIIKLL.

"NYORKIXGMEX flo not have any trouble locating the bill that has robbed them. The Wilson bill has deprived thousands of n:eu and women of work, and thus robbed tlieir hemes ot the comforts and necessaries of life. These people have been driven to the soup houses and to the charity fund for relief. Under tfce McKinley bill, which tne Democrats called the "robber tariff," America and her people prospered as never before.

A KCMBEJS of farmers are reporting that they are feeding their wheat to hogs at a good profit. In some of the farm papers it is shown by farmers who keep an accurate account of the cost of the feed and the price of pork, that wheat fed to hogs has brought them from 75 cents in some cases to as high as $1.00 per bushel in others. Feeding wheat to hogs certainly beats selling at the Cleveland and Bynum price of 45 cents a bushel.

PENNSYLVANIA'S Republican majority which is now determined by the official count is 187,160. The Republicans won such an overwhelming victory because the workingmen had but little, if any work and therefore had a good chance to vote.

IT IS about time some Republican candidates for the county offices were announcing themselves. The Republicans propose carrying the county this fall and as there are lots of offices if any Republican wants one let him get in line and say so.

The Paper Mill and Sight-seers.

GREENFIELD, IND., Feb. 24, 1894. In view of the anxiety of the people of Greenfield to see our paper mill working, although we are not ready to show off our mill, we propose devoting Friday, March 2, to visitors, and anyone wishing to see the mill in operation will be welcomed that day,and men placed at their disposal to explain the working. We will also devote the following Friday to visitors, but tween now and Friday, March 9th (except Friday, March 2,) we shall be obliged to exclude visitors eatirely, as we need all the room we have for our workmen in starting the mill. After Friday, March 9, visitors will be allowed to go through the mill by getting a written permission at the office. We are ob'igiged to adopt this course for our own protection.

Very respectfully, WESTON PAPER CO.

From the "Hoosier Evangelist."

Two weeks ago, we came to this place to assist in a meeting with the pastor, R. S. Reed. During the first week we bad many difficulties to overcome, which required much prayer and faith, but with full assurance that God and one is in the majority, we were not disposed to lay down our weapons of war and hoist the white flag until victory was ours. We are shouting glory now, for we have the victory. We have had about 80 conversions and sanctifications and many more to follow. Glory to God, the town is thoroughly awakened.

Philadelphia Public Schools iu the Pa* trlotic Procession.

Not to be outdone in expressing their love of country and loyalty to the republic, the teachers of the public schools at this place, Frank Laribee and Miss Delia Eastes, inaugurated a movement to float the "Stars and Stripes" over the sckool building, and being heartily aided by pupils, parents and :citizens generally, arrangements were completed and a successful flag raising occurred on Washington's birthday.

In order to pacify the small boys," who were numerous and howling full of patriotism, the elevation of the flag was the first matter attended to. It was the "small boys" feast, and he did not propose to eat at the last table, and, consequently, preceding all other exercises, "Old Glory" was hauled up to her moorings and greeted with cheers from infant throats that would have done credit to a regiment of veteran soldiers, and, when the western breeze caught the flag and Hung it toward the east as if in defiance of the British lion, and in exultation over the successful establishment of the Yankee nation among the nations of the earth, the veteran's shout vri'.s heard above all the rest. "Young America" was thoroughly introduced to George Washington by means O badges p'ctures aud reminiscences. The tame oi' Gen. Washington, who was "first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen," will, it would yeern, endure forever and grow brighter as the centuries roll away aud be handed dowu to posterity iu tradition, when all printed records shall have crumbled to dust. God gives life: government protects it. Love of the One is the lirst duty of mankind. Disloyal'y to the other is the highest crime. Should not children be thus taught:-' "Amen," says the old soldier. Very well, then, your reporter won't have to answer the question.

The large and appreciative audience occupied all the seats aud almost every inch of space. The invocation was delivered by Kev. J. L. Ramsey. Hon. R. A. Black, of Greenfield, having been unanimously chosen speaker of the day, delivered a very interesting and instructive address, and it was much regretted that his remarks were necessarily limited on account of his having to leave on the 2:37 train. Rev. Ramsey immediately followed, and with some most excellent remarks, inspired such patriotic sentiment within the hearts of the people as can be better felt than told. Wm. Scotton acquitted himself very creditably in a few minutes "off hand" talk. W. C. Atherton also added a few observations which were well received by the audience.

Miss Bertha Stutsman, organist of the occasion, together with quite a number of the school, rendered some very suitable selections, which were highly appreciated by all. But when Battle Cry of Freedom," "Red, White and Blue" and other patriotic songs melodiously souuded forth, everything else was eclipsed and the faces of the audience beamed with smiles as in token of the patriotic feeling excited within them.

The recitations given by the different pupils were all well selected and well delivered and we would especially mention the pupils of the primary school, as they executed their performance with the greatest skill aud showed by their actions that tbey, in their little weak way would, if danger threatened our land, do all in their power to defend it. The recitation by Thomas Scotton, of Gem, was well suited to the time and delivered in good style. John Stutsmau and Ossar F. Meek rendered invaluable service whenever cheers were in order.

This being all the exercises of the afternoon, after a few remarke by Mr. Laribee, the audience was dismissed and each one went to their homes, realizing more and more the true importance of loyalty to their country. Their hearts were overflowing with patriotism and each one could say, "I am glad I was there."

Flag liaised By Foiiutaintowii School Vau Uureii Tp.

The school at Fountaintown on last Thursday, Feb. 22, raised the Star Spangled Banner and also celebrated the birthday of Washington, that great and noble hero. "First iu war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen." On the birthday of the father of his country it becomes us all to look back to those times of early struggle, poverty uid patriotism and to remember that ours is the work to keep the path of progress, still the path of patriotism To us is the weeping while theirs is the glory,

From danger and duty, they ne'er turned aside Heroic their deeds and immortal their story They fought lor their country and conquering died.

About noon the patrons and friends and schools from various places, began to gather at the M. E. church, Where the exercises were held. The church was soon crowded to its utmost capacity, for want of room quite a number remained outside. They were entertained for about three hours with patriotic songs, declamations, etc. The school is to be commended for the beautiful exercises they rendered on this occasion. The success of the day was due to the untiring efforts of the teachers, Messrs N. Miller, Elmer Bassett and Miss Addie Campbell, assisted by our energetic trustee, Jas. Reed.

After the close of the exercises, patriotic speeches were made by James Reed, Dr. Wm. Pierson, Reason Davis, J. E. Smith, Rev. Bundy, Steve Lewis, Mr. Barrett and^thers. The crowd then dispersed to the school building, where the flag was hoisted, amid the shouts and hurrahs ot the people to unfurl its broad banner to the breezes. This is the first dag raised in Shelby county and we hope other schools will follow in this. line. "Fountaintown was inspired by the example of the Hancock County Schools". —Ed.

JUDGK LONG WINS.

An Injunction Granted to Prevent a Reduction of Bis Pension. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—

Judge Cox, of the District Supreme Court to-day granted the injunction asked for by judge Charles D. Long, of the Michigan Supreme Court to restrain Commissioner of Pensions Lochren from reducing his pension from $72 to $50 a month, as the commissioner announced he would do. Congress has also decided that a pension is a vested right and that the old soldiers cannot be dropped at the will of the rebel brigadier.

It seems from investigations made by the Mexican government that some rich Americans have been heavily investing in paper titles to Mexican laud. A gang of American sharpers are systematically working the scheme. They don't own a foot of land, but they have sold millions of acres.

Emma Thomas was born in Cadiz, Henry Co., Indiana, May 10, lSoT, and died at her home in Greenfield, Feb. lo, 1894, Aged 30 years, 9 months aud days. She was the daughter of Ems ley and Mary Julian, aud was united iu marriage to John S. Thomas Dec. 25, 1873. To them were born eight children, of whom three have "gone before." There remains two girls and three boys, including an infant. She was for the past few years in feeble health, and during the past three months endured great pain.

Her character from childhood was ever kind, truthful and beautiful. As a wife and mother her example was always a worthy one.

During her last sickness she gave evidence of her entire willingness to go if His will, and her only regret seemed to be to leave her dear family. In her last moments she called her family to her bedside aud bade them a last farewell, telling them she was happy and ready to go. She was conscious to the last.

She united with the Presbyterian church one year ago, and was a true devoted christian. In her death the husband has lost a devoted wife, the children a true and loving mother, the church a faithful member, and the relatives and friends one who was respected for her noble character and loving deeds of kindness.

Her funeral was preached in the Presbyterian church at Greenfield, by Rev. J. B. Fowler, of Winchester, after which her dear form was laid to rest in Park Cemetery to await the glorious resurrection morn.

Another band is backoniog on, Another callis given And glows once more with angel steps

The path that reaches Heaven.

Dust, to its narrow house beneath, Soul, to its place on high They that, have seen thy look in death,

Mo more may fear to die.

Lone are the paths and sad the hours, Since thy bright smile has gone. But oh, a brighter home than ours

In Heaven is all thine own.

Sermon by the Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage D. D.

Delivered in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, Jan. 17th, 1894. "I cannot imagine any more unfair or meaner thing than for a man to get his sins pardoned at the last minute, and then go to heaven and live in a mansion, and go riding about in a golden chariot over the golden streets, while his wife and children, whom he might have provided for, we begging for cold victuals at the basement doors of an earthly city. It seems to' me there ought to be a poor house somewhere on the outskirts of heaven, where those guilty of such improvidence should be kept for a while on thin soup and gristle, instead of setting down at the King's banquet." "No business on earth is more stable or honorable than the life insurance business and no mightier mercy for the human race has been born since Christ was born. Bored beyond endurance for my signature to papers of all sorts, there is one style of papers that I always sign with a feeling of gladness aud triumph, and that is a paper which the life insurance company requires from the clergyman after a decease in his congregation, in order that the .policy may be paid to the bereft household. I always write my name then so they can read it. I cannot help but say to myself: "Good for the man to have looked after his wife and children after earthly departure. May he have one of the best seats in heaven."
