A Veteran of Tlm-'c Wars.

Mr. Luther Calvin, of Bloomiugton, 111., is a guest of Mr. .John Samuels. We had the pleasure of mot-ting the old veteran this morning and ho is in leed a modest aud unassuriug g-ntieman who has his honor easily for we indeed consider a man who has honorably served his country through three wars as one Cull of honor. Mr. Calvin was born in 1811 and cau remember the rtjoiciug that occurred over General Packeut rani's surrender to General Andrew .Jackson in 1815. At the close of the war of 1812, he enlisted in the Black Hawk Indian war of 1882 and was thirteenth Lieutenant in the company of which Abialiam Lincoln was Captain. Think of such an intimate association with that glorious and heroic man, America's giaiulest aud noblest man the martyr Lincoln. Mr. Calvin was a member of the seventh Illicois infantry,was with General Taylor at Buene Vista and later marched with General Scott to the city of Mexico, the "city of the Sun" the land of the .viontezumas. The fire of patriotism still burned in the breast of Mr. Calvin in 1801 and enlisting in the fifty-second Illinois served four years during the rebellion fighting for his country. He is now a hale and hearty old gentleman of eighty-four and sound in both body and mind aud bids lair to enjoy many more years of life and we trust they may be full of joy, happiness and prosperity.

IN the House yesterday twelve Democrats voted for the Nicholson bill and four against it, while sixty-three Re pub1 icans voted for and sixteen against it. It is not therefore a party measure.

THE Republicans of Hancock county are much pleased over the late actions of the Republican caucus in leavk the appointing power in the hands of the Governor. This former course would have been suicidal as it was directly opposed to all the teachings and preachings of the Republican party for thirty years.

THE Nicholson temperance bill passed the House yesterday and this ac ion of the legislature will meet the approval of all law abiding citizens regardless of party. The bill is not a party measure, 'as a majority of the Democrats voted for it. While the bill is probably not what many would like, that is, not being as stringent as it should, yet it is a move in the right direction. As it is the legislature has gained the good will of a majority of the people of the great State of Indiana. Now let the Senate come forth and do its whole duty and pass the bill.

An Interesting ^Letter on American Canneries, American Homesteads, Foreign immigration and

Coolie Labor.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:—I have noticed from time to time the REPUBLICAN urging the building ef a canning factory at Greenfield, and following recent tele graphic reports from California, I feel inclined to persistently urge the wisdom of Mr. Montgomery's advice as well as to preveil on the American people in genera 1 to give closer study to the results of promoting home enterprises, which would certainly have a most wholesome effect. We have been very careless in this respect in the past, and now, while we are a prolonged financial crisis thousands of our respectable American' born citizens are suffering from a lack of means to earn their own living or even a spot of ground on which to build a she'ter of tfceir own to protect them. We ought still to have thousands of acres of government lands in the west where our own citizens could go in their present distress and find th» homes, build factorits and stores and pile up cities. But years ago we began giving out those valuable chances to foreigners anybody and everybody who wanted to come from wherever they would, and now we have whole sections in this country peopled by persons who cannot even direct you in the English language how to find the nearest cross roads to get out of their settlements. Enough of these people are he re ready to take a hand in our prosperity, that if one of our large Eastern states were suddently swept clear of every person in it they could walk in and repopulate it again. They are here now and more still coming, and I want to impress the fact on the people of Hancock who have not recoguized the. results dircctly, and ask them to interest themselves to the extent of urging and supporting any legislation restricting foreign immigration that may hereafter be proposed. The safety of our social as well as present political system and individual prosperity depends upon it. If the people who are not thrown in direct contact with these people had given support to past efforts of those who have been long ago I think, drastic measures to stop this inflow of people we don't want, would 'have been more successful. We could get along very well without the great bulk of those who come from every nation, the English even not excepted. The English are the most desirible, but 75 per v.ent at least of the English persons I know have still more loyalty for the English government than for ours. I began to notice this fact during the Be leriog sea trouble some years ago when it looked like we might have war with England. I was talking with an Englishman one day with whom I frequently met at the restaurant, we were discussing the affair and he was very partial in his support of England's construction of justice, and I said "But since you have been here 15 years and have made considerable money in our mines and still intend making this country your home, in case of war your sympathies would of course be with us? He answered, "Well I —I don't knoW about that." Those were the last words of the conversation and I have neyer troubled myself to speak to the man since. Plenty of similar instances I hare witnessed since. A few days ago I heard a group of men talking, among them an Englishman who has taken out his first set of citizen's papers, just enongh to enable him to vote the Populist ticket. The boys were all "hard up" and were speculating on what they would do if they had $509. The Englishman said "well I know what I'd do I'd go back to the old country." He ia a

member of the Sons of St. George, an English order, and be says the stage of their large hall in Denver is elaborately decorated with English flags and no other flag is allowed a place. There aie two of these English orders in the city of considerable strength, and in the state of Colorado the Sons of St. George alone has 4,000 members. If I had more space I would go further and pay more, but I merely call attention to these people whom are accustomed to regard as the best friends we have in other nationalities, I will say nothing at. present of the intermediate tongues and go to the foot of the list, where I find the Chinese, to whom attention is called by the California dispatches before mentioned.

A wealthy syndicate of Chinamen has obtained possession of a tract of several thousand acres of fruit lands aud orchards and also a large number of smaller tracts through tout the State, for which they pay a yearly rental of from $1,500 to $5,000 each. During the coming year the immense amount of canned goods and green fruits shipped all over the country from this syndicate will be the entire product of Chineese capital and Chineese labor. The thousands of respectale Americans who onght to be employed in these California orchards aud canneries can stand around with their hands in their trousers and watch these coolies work. And the Americans all over the country will buy these fruits and canned goods because they are cheaper. Yes they will I've seen its parallel too often to haye a doubt about it. I will not myself, and the respectable people in localities most affected will not: but outside the districts disturbed these goods will fiudaready sale unless vigorous means are used to call our American fellow citizens' attention to it.

I heard a doctor lecture once who spent several years among the Chinese in their native country. He says they area people of pestilential sores. They raise and prepare for market a great deal of the tea we use.

The new tea plant leaves are collected in large quantities and a number of Chinamen get around the pile something like an old-time husking bee. Each leaf is twisted into a small wad and put in a basket and carried off to dry. Lepjosy and other loathsome sores are so common that the sufferers don't think of stopping work to cure up, and the doctor said he would often see an old Chinaman go out to one side when he got to hurting to bad remove part of his clothing, carefully unwrap the affected spot, clean the old sore put on a new rag and go back to twisting up tea leaves without washing his hands. An immense amount of laundry business is done in cities by Chinamen. Nothing is to dirty for them to wash. I know a young man whose laundry was so loathtome that it was sent back to him from the whiti laundry because the hands in the wash room refused to handle it. He went to a Chinese laundry after that and never had any trouble. The condition is getting alarming when times being so hard that American citizens can see no profit in retaining their fruit lands and orchards, they lease thousands of acres to these people who can work them with profit, compelling other respectable growers and canners to compete with tueir ruinous labor. I wish the people of ihe county of my birth would do all iu their power toward filling the market with this class of goods and in influencing consumers to give a thought to supplying themselves with the product of respectable producers and Ireeze out this gigantic coolie industry that is this year threatening tue welfare of our respectable fellow cicizens on the Pacific coast.

It May Do as Much for you. Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes that he had a Severe Kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so called Kidney cures but without any good result. About a year ago he began use of Electrie Bitters aud found relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure of all Kidney and Liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One trial will prove our statement. Price only 5Gc. for large bottle at M. C.
