With Mrs. Lease and Jerry Simpson both sick it is not surprising that the Coxey movement fizzled.
GOVERNMENT ownership of the telephone, telegraph, express and railroad business of this country, is bound to come. They are essentially monopolies and increase in value with the progress and prosperity of the people. Why not then let the people themselves reap the benefits of this increase in value, instead of the comparatively few owners of said interests getting it all. Probably more than half of the owners are rich foreign ers. Monopolies of right belong to the people who give value to them and they should reap all the benefit.
THAT greit tariff reform writer, Thos. G. Shearman denounces the present Democrat or Gormandized tariff bill in the New York Evening Post as follows: "The new Gorman bill is worse than nothing, except possibly in the woolen schedule. Its pretended reductions of duties in the metal, cotton, flax and silk schedules leave most of them, as prohibitory as the McKiuley tariff it3elf. Some duties are actually increased and always in favor of some manufacturing combina tion. Sometimes this increase of taxation for private gain is open, am in the case'of the lithographic, which is given specific rates, equal to about three times the McKinley rales, and such as it never was able to obtain from Reed and McKinley. But in most cases it is done by means of a trick, in the way of new classification, such as none but the initia ted can understand. Some of these tricks have already been exposed, but there are many more. The metal schedule is full ot them, especially in cntlery, files and 8»ws. The monopoly secured to the Steel-rail and steel-beam combinations is so glaring that it can not be called a trick'. It is open and almost avowed robtowy.

startiog up occassionaly now, but this is only done when the workmen accept lower wages for a time. In. case they should demand the old scale soon, the works would no doubt close, as consumption of goods has been very largely reduced, as has also the price of the goods.
There is a great and growing demand over the country that the government take charge of the express business. It is a monopoly and extortionate and unequal charges are made. It could be conducted at much less expense and save the people at least half the cost of present charges. Why not run the business in the interests of all the people instead of the few.
To snow the drift against Cleveland and the Democratic party, we quote the Springfield Republican which has for the past eight years supported Cleveland and the Democrat party. "The Democratic party to-day stands condemned before the whole country as utterly incompetent and shamelessly wanting in the ability and honesty to carry out a positive policy of government. Nothing it can do will suffice to wear away before the autumn elections the impression or deep disgust of it and the determine to punish it at the polls, which possesses the men who made Democratic victory possible in 1890 and 1892."
THE United States Senate is now being most vigorously denounced and condemned by the American people. The papers are universally showing Senators up to the people in their true light. The fight became so hot that even the rhinocerous hides of the senators felt the sting of outraged public sentiment, and a resolution was offered by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican, and amended by Morgan, of Alabama, Democrat, and Allen of Neb., Populist, which passed as follows:
Whereas. It has been stated in the "Sun," a newspaper published in New York, that bribes have been offered to certain Senators to induce them to vote against the pending tariff bill and,
Whereas. It has also been stated in a signed article in "the "Press," a newspaper published in Philadelphia, that the sugar schedule has been made up as it now stands in the proposed amendment in consideration of a large sum of money paid for campaign purposes of the Democratic party therefore,
Resolved. That a committee of five Senators be appointed to investigate these charges, and to inquire further whether any contributions have been made by the Sugar Trust, or any person connected therewith, to any political party for campaign or election purposes, or to secure or defeat legislation, and whether any Senator has been or is speculating in what are known as sugar stocks during the consideration of the tariff bill now before the Senate, and with power to send for persons and papers and to administer oaths.
Resolved, further, That said committee be authorized to investigate and report upon any charge or charges which may be filed before it, alleging that the action of any Senator has been corruptly or improperly influenced in the consideration of said bill, or that any attempt has been made to influence legislation.
The committee was appointed by the vice president as follows: Gray and Lindsay, Democrats, Lodge and Davis, Republican, and Allen Populist. The committee is composed of good men and somothing was expected of them but they very unfortunately decided to hold secret meetings instead of public ones, and nothing will probably ever come of said investigation. Th rascally vicious work has been done there is no deubt, but will it be uncovered. Senatorial courtesy has become a by word and a stench in the nostrils of decent men. Unfortunately monopolists and millionairs control the United States Senate, and the rights of the common every day people are neglected and trampled upon. There is altogether too much corruption in Washington City, and like the Augean stables a thorough cleansing is needed.
Two More Candidates —Still They Come.
R. B. Binford, better known as Barclay Binford, of Blueriver township, announces his name this week as a candidate for Clerk. Mr. Binford was born in Blueriver township and has lived there all his life. He is a successful farmer and stock raiser, and no nicer man lives in the State than Rarclay Binford. He is an ardent Republican, has held the office of township trustee, and in 1886 was a candidate for Treasurer but was defeated. Mr. Binford is well qualified, and would make a fine race, He came out at the solicitation of many friends.
A. N. Rhue, known as "Newt," of Center township, has yielded to the desire of his numerous friends and announces his name as a candidate for Clerk this week. He was born just north of Maxwell 42 yeari ago, but when a small child his parents moved to Marshall county where he remained until he was 14 years old, when he returned to Hancock. While in Marshall county he at tended a school where English was taught in the forenoon and German in the afternoon, so that he speaks German fluently. He has taught school for 20 years in Center township and we have yet to hear of a complaint. He was elected Assessor here as a Republican when the Democrats had a majority of 175. Mr. Rhue would make a strong candidate and he is well qualified for the. position.
The office of Commissioner is a very important one. There are two to elect and yet but one candidate.
There is as yet uo candidates for Coroner Assessor, Surveyor. Let men who desire these positions not be backward in asking for them.

THE' GREENFIELD REPDBLICAS, THURSDAY, BAT 24, 1894.
CENTEU TOWNSHIP REPUBLICAN PKIMAKY.
A Hot Contest. A Big Vote and
a
Success
ful Ticket.
Last Saturday the Republicans of Center township held their primary to nominate candidates for township offices. It was the most closely canvassed and hotly contested convention the Republicans ever held in the township. 721 vote-) were cast, which is a very large vote. The Republican vote lor President in this township in 1892 being 679. The vote Saturday would have been considerably larger had the weather been good, but it was miserably bad all day, and a good many Republicans failed to vote. Some Democrats are claiming that a large number of Democrats voted. That is a mistake. There were several voted who had once been Democrats, but they have changed their minds
come over to the party of the people and prosperity, the Republican part •, and wiil henceforth act with the Grand Old Republican party. These men could not stand Cleveland, with his bond issuing, business depression, trust assisting, unAmerican foreign policies. They prefer the Republican policies under which this country enjoyed unexampled prosperity. The Democrats who say that the former Democrats who voted with the Republicans Saturday will not stand by the Republican ticket, say in elfect that said former Democrats are liars and scoundrels. We do not believe that they are. We think they were honest in their con victions and truly intend to vote the Republican ticket.
As we said above the contest was a hot one. J. K. Henby and Elmer Gant h^d both made thorough canvasses for the nomination for trustee, and each had a host of friends and workers. J. E. Hat field, who on account of not being able to leave his position at L. C. Thayer's for an extended time, had not made an extensive canvass. He had a good fol lowing, but early Saturday morning realizing that it was not sufficient to nominate him, withdrew from the race and told the boards to so instruct the voters and left Henby and Gant to fight it out. The ballot resulted as follows.
Elmer E. Gant 252 63 313 John K. Henby 320 41 307 John E. Hatfield 10 2 12 Henby's majority 52

Scattering—H. L. Bennett 10, Caleb Iiolden 3, Sam Hook 1.
The result is satisfactory to the Re publicans, as a most excellent ticket has been nominated. John K. Henby, the candidate for trustee is a member of the Friend's church, an old union soldier whose right arm and hand are practically useless on account of a gun shot wound. He is the proprietor of the Pan Handle Nursery and farm, which adjoins our city on the south-west, and is one of our solid, honest, reliable, successful business men. He has shown industry, care, economy, and business capacity in the management of h*s own affairs, and will bring the same qualities to the management of the township business. He was a popular councilman here for a number of terms, and always ran ahead of the ticket, as the people had confidence in his integrity, his willingness and ability to look after their affairs, and the same confidence will be extended this fall, when he will be elected.
James T. Bodkins, who was nominated by a majority of 284 shows that he is a vote getter and a winner. He also is a soldier and a farmer living miles north of the city on the Pendleton pike. Mr. Bodkins has also done considerable street contracting. He is genial and pleasant, a good mixer, the people know that he is a level headed sound and successful business man, whose judge ment can be relied upon when it comes to assessing the township, and Mr. Bod kins will be our next assessor.
On the rest of the ticket there was no opposition, and the nominees are as follows:
Justices—Joseph S. Franklin, N. R. Spencer, W. H. Alger. Constables—Samuel S. Bradley and Jeff C. Patterson.
They are men well known to our peo pie and will run well. It is jiot often that a township has the opportunity of securing a man so thoroughly well equipped for the position as N. R. Spencer. He is a graduate of the State University, has read law, and for two years was the successful prosecuting attorney of Johnson county Kan. He is a young man of much natural ability, has keen judgement, and wMl make a first-class official in every respect. The other two candidates for justices will also make good officials as they are well qualified, but Mr. Spencer stands unusually high. The candidates for constables, Sam Bradley and Jeff Pattersou, will both make good officials. Mr. Bradley is a farmer, a son of Wm. Bradley of Maxwell, and when elected will do his duty. Mr. Patterson is an old soldier, a carpenter by trade, but an injury to his right hand last year has disabled him so that he cannot work at his trade. He is qualified for and understands the duties of the constable office and will make ago »d officer.
As to the defeated candidates. Elmer Gant is one of our successful young business men, and for his first political race shows a wonderful capacity for hustling. He made a splendid showing and made many new friends. Elmer says no man shall do better work for J. K. Henby than he will do. He also wants that al) his friends shall do him the personal favor of supporting Mr. Henby just as vigorously as they would himself in case he had been nominated. That shows Mr. Gant to be made of the right kind of stuff, and the REPUBLICAN assures him that he is a young man with a bright prospect ahead, and should he sometime in the future desire to be a canaidate, he will have a waik over for a nomination. People like hustlers and men who after a defeat show up true blue for their competitors.
Samuel F. Curry labored under the disadvantage of not having an extensive acquaintance here in Greenfield, and he had an exceedingly popular man to run against. Mr. Curry also made a good showing and has .some new friends on account of his recent canvass. The tick«t is a good one and will be elected by a handsome majority. sif

Wind, llain, Snow, Sleet, Hail, Frost, Ice And floods On Eartli,
Last week astronomers reported a tremendous solar storm. It was estimated to be 43,000 miles wide and 80,000 miles long. Sucu a tremendous convulsion on old Sol's surface produced marked effects on earth and the violent heat of last week and the wind storms, rain, snow, sleet, hail, frost, ice, floods and severe cold weather that followed are attributed partly to the big solar storm. In many places In the west, there were great hail storms. In Iowa the hail was in some places three feet deep and in drifts seven feet. Crops and fruit were destroyed and exposed stock killed. Frost and ice also greatly injured many of the crops and a great deal of the fruit west of the Mississippi, also in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. In New York and Pennsylvania there were great floods Saturday and Sunday, rivers and creeks overflowing their banks. The Conemaugh river at Johnstown flooded everything and all through that section, the waters were higher than they had been since the great Johnstown disaster in May 1889.
We in Indiana escaped easily. While there was some snow and sleet, it was not heavy and did no damage. The rain was needed, but would have been better if it had not been quite so cold. There is no kick or growl coming from us however. The weather is all right and crops here are far iu advance of what they generally are at this time of year. The School Enumeration.—A Gain Ov«r 1893 in Greenfield of 14G.
Below we give the school enumeration in Hancock county of 1894. The out townships show a decrease of 53, but Greenfield gains 146 over last year, making a total gain in the county 92. This is a fair showing and is better than several of our surrounding counties.

Will Greenfield Get a New Railroad?
The Middldtown News says: "It is being whispered abont that the new railroad being built through Dalevilie is eventually to pass into the control of the Pennsylvania company, and that it will be extended from Muncie to Hartford City. It is also said that a spur is to be built from Middletown, northeast, forming a junction with this line near Tabor, and from Middletown southwest, to Greenfield, thus connecting all three divisions of the Pan Handle road. The plan is plausible and we do not see why it should not prove a good one. Let it succeed."
