Kepubliiau Mass Convention.

BUCKCBEEK TOWNSHIP.

The Republicans of Buckcreek township will meet in mass convention, on SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 1894. at 2 o'clock p. m. at

COOLER'S SAW MILL, MT. COMFORT, for the purpose of nominating candidates as follows:

One Trustee. One Assessor. Two Justices of the Peace. Two Constables.

By order of Committeemen.

At Washington City at the Knights of Pythias grand encampment last week it was decided that after this neither saloon keepers or bartenders were eligible to membership in the order. Those who are now in will be allowed to remain.

THE Hamburg-Americam line of steamers* utw cat the rate of steerage passage from New York to South Hampton from $15 to $10. This had been the rate of the the American line which had more passengers than they could carry. The Liverpool steamers may cut the steerage rrate to $6.50. These low rates and the hard times in America will assist in ridding this country of a lot of undesirable foreigners. Let the good work go on. While we have room for good citizens, we have no place for European paupers, anarchists and other criminals.

THE Populists take greater pleasure in saying mean things about Cleveland and his friends, the gold bug, bond buying Wftll streeters and the Whiskey and Sugar trust owners who control the present Administration than they do in abusing the Republicans. Yet notwithstanding all that the Ninth district Democrats let go ot what little self respect they had and iudorsed A. E. Burkhart the "Tipton Cyclone" who is the Populist nominee for Congress. It is all right and proper frr individual Democrats to vote with the Popuusts, but when it comes to the great Democratic party indorsing the Populists it shows thy baye nothing left at home to stand on. A large number of the leading Democrats of the district repudiate Burkhart's nomination and the Kokomo Dispatch, Auditor of State J. O. Henderson's paper, goes square back on him.

A Temperance Petition.

There is in circulation a petition which reads as follows: "Petition for Scientific Temperance Education in Indiana." Believing that prevention, through the education of the people, is the antide tor the evil of intemperance, we the undersigned citizens of city, county, Indiana, respectfully petition our legislature to enact a law requiring that the study of the nature and effect of alcoholic driaks and other narcotics upon the human system, in connection with relative physiology, shall be made a regular branch of instruction for all the pupils in all the schools supported by public money or under State control. Below which are two columns, one for voters, and one for women. We sincerely hope that when this petition is presented to you, that every man and ^ffoman will attach his signature in belialf ot the State from the effects of alcohol and narcotics.

As it is now time for the public schools to begin, may every superintendent of public schools so inform his teachers to instruct their pupils of the necessity •of this kind of knowledge, that it will not stop in the school house, but will arouse the parents. May every district teacher so influence his pupils that they may believe, that to know the nature and effect of alcohol is as essential to sobriety and good citizenship as the multiplication table to higher mathematics.

May the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and his deputy, and all persons who desire to make better influetifefe for the youDg, talk about this subject whenever possible, in order to aroi public sentiment, since that is the only door through which w« hope to win. Conviction, agitation and action, is the path all reforms must tread if the victory is won. H. Co. W. C. T. U.

The country cannot run off to Gray Gablefe, now that Congress has quit, and sit- fc rt-stful quiet at the butt-end of a flsh^pole. The country has to ''stand up to (the rack" at the front-end of hard tiniM, a id partake of such fodder as Dcor-f. .acy has cut for it—the sheeprai#kr with his (locks grown financially this the merchant with his lagging cus tomers the manufacturer with his silent .miU-or profitless business the workman with no work or lower wages—all ferven$y praying: '-Lead ms not into Democracy, b«t deliver us from that evil in !Nov£Mb»r.— Rushville Republican.

Mr. Cleveland doubtless finds the wild wat^ft it Buzzard's Bay a relief after his longthout with Congress.

DAXAS DEFT STILETTO. .,v

Great, great, greatGreat ir-cott! Oh, can it be Tliat anyone else in the wide, wide world

Is great and good like me.

Oh, fortunate the nation, Thrice blest the ship of state, That has me for a pilot—

Me! Grover, consecrate.

'Twas I anointed Gresham, And Blount and dusky Lil Then consecrated myself anew

To a re^unue tariff bill.

I blessed free coal and iron, Likewise free wool and flax And when they pressed me pretty hard

I blessed the income tax,

And then I wrote a letter Which raised the old Nick—phew And though you may not think it,

That was consecrated, too.

"j ishoner—party perfidy!" 'Twas thus I called it Hat. But now, to show how great I am,

I've consecrated that!

—New York Sun.

Pithy, Pointed antl Pertiuent. Lost, strayed or stolen—one Presidential backbone. Liberal reward for its return in good condition-—G. C. Buzzard's Bay. "Moon" is the queer name of the antiring candidate of South Carolina. The moon ofteuer than otherwise has a ring around it.

Coxey's "confidence" in his election to Congress is worth $100 a night to him. Verily, there is a new "sucker" born every minute.

George Gould will bring no trophies from England, unless the report that he has hooked a royal brother-in-law turns out to be true.

Drop an arctic expedition in the public slot and get a profitable lecture tour. Dear old Barnum is dead, but humbuggery is very much alive.

There is one sure way to prevent the foreign manufacturers from realizing the profits they expect under the new tariff —buy American goods exclusively. "Buck" Kilgore, the Texas Congressman who obtained notoriety by kicking open the door of the House, has been kicked out of public life by his constitu ents.

President Cleveland and Senator Gorman are not further apart on the tariff question than are the railway managers and the railway employes on the Pullman strike.

Words ending in "tion" are the most important just now to Democratic Congressmen. For instance, explanation, nomination, election, indignation and damnation.

If all the anarchist immigrants would settle in the districts of those Congressmen who kept the House from passing the anti anarchist bill it would be but retributive justice.

No voter should lose sight of the fact that a Democratic majority in the Fiftyfourth Congress will mean a few more steps toward free trade and its consequent further lowering of wages.

There is no jealousy between Gov. McKinley and big Tom Reed. The former will open the Congressional campaign of the latter with a speech that will be heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The evangelist who is making speeches for Col. Breckinridge, quoting the bible to show that he should be voted for by Christians, would better confine his future evangelic efforts to Breckinbridge's district.

Chairman Wilson, of the House Ways and Mears committee ought to receive warm welcome in Europe. True, he did not give the Europeans all he wanted to give them, but that wasn't his fault. He tried hard enough.

There may be an honest difference of opinion as to the merits of Clevelandism and McKinleyism but there is ground for none between McKinley wages and Cleveland wages. That has been settled and the loss pocketed by American wageearners.

The whiskey trust ought to chip in liberally to the Democratic campaign fund, in return for the ten days grace given it by Mr. Cleveland. It and the Sugar trust made a million dollars each day Mr. Cleveland held the tariff bill, or $10,000,000 altogether.

There seems to be a reasonable doubt ns to the ability of Mr. Carroll D. Wright U. S. Commissioner of Labor to distinguish between a bribe and a personal courtesy. He should be given a chance to chose between Mr. Pullman's annual pass and Uncle Sam's annual salary.

Republicans are perfectly willing tl/at the case of the new tariff shall go to the jury on Democratic testimony alone. Mr. Cleveland and Congressman Bourke Cockran gave the most sensational testi mony against it, copies of which the Republican campaign committee are widely distributing.

Our Next State Senator.

John M. Stephens, the chairman of the Republican convention at Carthage, Aug. 22, which nominated Thomas K. Mull, for Senator, has received Mr. Mull's acceptance of the same. He stands high in Rush county, and will soon come over into Hancock to make the acquaintance of our people. The Shelbyville Democrat speaks very highly of Mr. Mull as follows: "Mr. Thomas Mull was recently nominated for Joint Senator between th» counties of Rush and Hancock. Mr. Mull is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and should he be elected his constituents will never have cause to regret their actions jn sending him tc represent them."

The Rooater Follows the Plow. A. E. Burkhart, of Tipton, the Popu1 at candidate for Congress, who was indorsed by the Democrats of the Ninth district was asked by some parties which platform he would stand on. He said that was a very easy question, any little child could tell that as everybody knew that the "Rooster" always followed "the Plow."

IK CLEVELAND IS such a good pure man he certaiuly has a lot of disreputable associates. This present administration has given us the Hawaiian scandal, the peddling of offices to bribe Senators and Congressman scandal, the armor plate scandal, the Sugar and Whiskey trust scandal, the Dominion ceal syndicate scandal and at last a tariff bill condemned out o( the mouths of the men who voted for it.

lit. Ii»i it W. I hoaiji-ou.

The most notable event, of the Republican State convention, recently, was the appearance of Col. Richard \V. Thomp son as presiding officer. Of course, everybody knew that General Harrison would be there, and would have something to say, and that he would say it in the apest and most effective way, but the appearance of the old veteran who had been attending our State conventions for sixty years—a man eighty-five years old, with his natural force somewhat abated, but with undimmed eye and his clarion voice ringing clear with its old, familiar sound— it was his appearance that gave a char a to the assembly. What a life! —what a career! How young our Nation seems when we see a man who has personally known every President of the Republic excepting Washington and the elder Adams. Colonel Thompson resided in Virginia, and saw Jefferson, Madison and Monroe there after they had retired from public life, and his active political career afterwards brought him into personal contact with all their successors. "To see him facing an assembly which packed Tomlinson Hall full, and making a speech, every sylable of which could be distinctly heard by everyone there without any seeming effort, was a fine object lesson for those who wish to knovv the power and beauty of a well-trained speaker's voice. Wendell Philips had the gift, or had acquired the talent, and by it he won the title bestowed upon him by Theodore Parker of prince of the platform orators of the world. I feared that Colonel Thompson would not be strong enough to bear the excitement of the occasion, but the sight of the vast assembly and the enthusiastic welcome he received put him on his mettle, and he bore himself grandly. I saw Tom Corwin at Lafayette after he got to be an old man. He came there to deliver an address on the Fourth of July, 1859. The crowd at the fair ground waited and waited, and finally grew clamorous. Then word came that Corwin was ill and too feeble to come from his room. The crowd demanded that he should show himself at least, and after a time a carriage drew up and Albert S. White, the presiding officer, helped Corwin to the platform. He could only stand by supporting himself against one of the posts. A glass with a suspicious looking mixure in it was handed to liiin. He took a sip, smacked his lips, and made one of his comical faces at the crowd, and said some hing by way of aside to Senator White. The crowd began to applaud and Corwin began to make his apology, but the cry of "Go on," "Go on," came from all sides, and he did go on for two hours in an uninterrupted flow of eloquence which I have never heard surpassed. I have heard Philips and Lincoln, and Ingersoll, and Caleb B. Smith, and Sumner, and Kossuth, but Corwin, when thoroughly aroused, had more power over a large assembly than any of them. Colonel Thompson never fails to interest and instruct his hearers, and that he should retain his oratorical powers at such an advanced age is simply marvelous. He is fitly closing his long and brilliant career by publishing a book entitled "Personal Recollections of Sixteen of Our Presidents." The book is now in press at the publishing house of the Boweu-Merrill Company, and will be out during the coming summer or autumn. It was my privilege to read the manuscript during the last winter, and I express the opinion that it is the most complete, interesting and valuable history of the rise and fall of the politi: cal parties, from the beginning of the government down to and including the administration of Lincoln, that has ever been or that ever can be written. Every page is fairly alive with interest—an interest that could only be imparted to such a narrative by one who for over sixty years has been an active participant in all the political struggles of our country. Colonel Thompson is the only man who could write such a book, and that he has been able to begin and complete it within the space of two or three years is matter of wonder. The style is pure and lofty, and the temper of the book is fair and impartial. Age has softened the asperities engendered in the heat of partisan strife, and, if I may except his show of bitterness to John Tyler, the recreant Whig President, the volume is pervaded by a spirit of magnanimity toward the leaders of the great political parties whom he once opposed. I hope that heaven may lengthen out his days to enable him to appear once more in Tomlinson Hall when the Republicans of Indiana shall assemble to inaugurate the campaign of 1896.

Xlie Hindu AVife.

Purusliotam Rao Telang, in the .September Forum An impression seems to prevail in Western countries that there is no love between the Hindu wife and husband. The truth is, the Hindu families are the happiest in the world. The Hindu woman, having been tied to the lot of the man early, thinks only of him. His happiness is her happiness. She loves her husband devotedly. In the Western nations I observe that the man works from morning to late in the night to earn money. He has no rest. Who enjpys the benefits of his money? His wife. While he is struggling to get the almighty dollar, his wife is enjoying the luxuries and the leisure it buys. If she cannot get the newest fashion of ornaments or clothing, she is often unhappy, and consequently, if the husband cannot buy them, he too, is made unhappy Moreover, the women in America seem to have greater liberty than the men. The young girl is brought up by her mother to think that she is equal to man and in some respects superior to him. She reads love novels, spends much time at her toilet: she wears in her bonnet flowers, feathers, dead birds, seaweeds, moss, horns, thorns, big needles, and in her dress, pins, hooks, ties, iron and brass bars,- clips, stitches, and what not and on her bosem I have seen ber wear a living lizard fastened with a thin chain. Her waist is laced tight by a corset which makes her pant lor breath.. Thus equipped, she sallies forth to make conquests of young men's hearts. She' seems to me (pardon me, I write without offence) to lack the mild and delicately sweetly look that even the commonest Hindu woman has. Her look is bold and defying to the man. This is owing to the innate feeling that she is equal to the man. In her pride she his forgotten woman's part.

MONDAY Republican officials assumed their duties in a large number of Indiana cities. Let them so manage the affairs of the various cities where tfiey have charge, that the greatest good to the greatest number may result, and the general public be so benefitted that the Beiblican party will deserre to be continued in office.

1HE WOMAN' ACROSS XHK WAY.

My windows opea to southward, And the sun shines in all day Her windows all ook northward,:

My neighbor's across the way.

My windows are draped with curtains Of lace, like a flimsy spray. She has only shades of linen,.

The lady across the way.

There are-diamond rings on my fingers That over the casement stray I have never noticed any

On my neighbors across the way.

But what cares she for sunlight, The lady across the way, When a baby facs illumines the place, Like the light of a summer's day.

What need has she for curtains Of rare and costly lace When the light shines through a golden mesh

Of curls round a baby's face'

Jewels are plenty for money, But cold to the light that lies Reflecting the image of souls that meet

In the heaven of baby's eyes.

And I sat alone in the darkness When niglit comes down, and pray That God will keep her treasure safe

For the woman across tho way. —Boston Transcript.

A Good Letter From Arkansas. CoRXiNti, Ark. EDITOR REPUBLICAN—Greenfield, Ind.

Please find enclosed an express order for five dollars which is to pay for that household necessity, that letter from home, the good, the tried, the true REPUBLICAN for the past, the present and I know not how far in the future for I do not know how much I owe you, but apply it on the account and with it our many thanks for your forbearance and will try to do better in the future. We have the Democrats on the run and will do something new under the sun in the way of burs'ting the ring as I think we will elect our Sheriff and probably Clerk of the court. Our town is a temperance town with a fair prospect of remaining so for sometime. It contains about two hundred and thirty dwellings, nine stores, one cotton gin and one more will be built soon, one corn and saw mill combined, working about nine men. The writer is acting as engineer at the saw mill, o&e brick ya d, four fruit stands, two blacksmith shops, two wagons shops, three milliner stores, five doctors, one of whom is now dangerously ill, four attorneys at law, one stave factory, working 35 or 40 men. The town in the last six years has doubled its population. We have never had a boom, but each year we see an increase in number and quality of improvements.

Just out of town are located three large saw mills, two of which are running apart of the time, a heading works south of town which gives work to probably 150 men and 50 teams. Most of the en terprises are carried on by northern men and each year finds more Republicans and fewer Democrats and of course our general business grows better year by year, just in proportion to our Republican gains, even the chills are scarcer. We have two newspapers, one a Demo crat and one Independent, will in the future send you a sample copy of each. I would say to all inquiring friends that myself and family are well. Our schools open next Monday with three|teachers and about 800 scholars. L. O BURKE.

Feeding AVhet to Ilojjs Proiitable.

Ben Wolverton, an energetic young farmer just south of the city, a breeder of pure Duroc Jersey hogs, has experi mented in wheat feeding to his hogs. He weighed the bunch being fed, and after a twenty days', feed weighed again, the second weight showing a gain of 1,584 pounds, and for this gain the drove were fed 1,500 pounds of hominy meal at a cost of 90 cents per hundred, mixed with forty bushels of ground wheat. The cost of the hominy meal was $13.50. Counting the gain in pork at 5 cents per pound and the price for his feed received was $79.20. Deduct $13.50 for the hominy meal and the price per bushel for the wheat received was $1.64—Greensburg Review.

The Tariff Beform Tragnriy.

New York Tribune. Senator Gorman—When shall we three meet again?

Senator Smith—When the hurleyburly's done. Senator Brice,—Fair is foul and foul is fair: hover through the fog and filthy air. op&aker Crisp—Infirm of purpose, give me the daggers.

The President—Thou can'st not say I did it. Never shake thy gory locks at me.

Speaker Crisp—My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white.

G. A. K. ATTENTION!

Password and C«unter»igg for the Pittsburgh Encampment. Comrades, the password to the G. A. R. National Eucampment is "Pennsyltania Lines," and the countersign is "Look at the Map." Get it right and you will have no trouble, no inconvenience in your journey. There is only one railway over which regular trains and through cars run from your locality direct to Pittsburg and back again there is only one shortest and best route there is only one system of railways extending from all parts of Western Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana to Pittsburg Any reliable railway map will prove that these advantages are possessed only by the Pennsylvania Lines. This is the only thoroughfare from your station to Pittsburgh under one management. It will be great fun going to the Encampment in special cars and special trains with bands and flying colors. But how about getting back when the great crowd breaks up and makes the rush for home. Think about it. It's likely you'll feel tired at the close of Encampment week and not care to spend any more hours on the road or change cars oftener than is necessary on the return journey. Take the Pennsylvania Lines. W. H. SCOTT,

cracks.—It

often costs more to* prepare a

house for repainting that has been painted in the first place with cheap ready-mixed paints, than it would to have painted it twice with strictly pure white lead, ground in pure linseed oil.

Strictly Pure White Lead

forms a permanent base for repainting and never has to be burned or scraped off on account of scaling or cracking. It is always smooth and clean. To be sure of getting strictly pure white lead, purchase any of the following brands: "Anchor," "Southern," "Eckstein," "RedSeal," "Kentucky," "Collier."

J|HBR COLORS.—National Lead Co.'s Pure vn t-sad Tinting Colors, a one-peund can 25-pounrl kocr of Lead and :rsix your own patets. Saves time and annoyance in matching shades, and insures the best paint that it is possible to put on wood.

Send us a postal card and get our book on paints und color-card, free it will probably save you a good many dollars.
