THERE is a plan oil foot to locate a colon of 20,000 ex-Union soldiers in Georgia. The management of the matter is the hands of the,] ex-Governor of that State. It is purely a business enterprise.

"WILLIAM.MCKINLEY is now out declaring that_h is reported silver interview at Thomasville, Ga., is a fake. He did not declare against silver in fact,had no talk the subject. The presidential candidate who at this stage of the game should cone out against silver would hardly even be mentioned in the convention. Tie people have become tired of the bond holders and money lenders of the*East controlling the financial policy ^of this country.

Gov. Levi P. Norton and Mayor Strong of New York, are working unitedly and harmoniously for the good of the entire people of New York. They favor a reform in the politics of the Empire State and its great city, and are practicing what they preach. It looks like the big Republican machine boss, Thomas C. Piatt, had been turned under, just as he ought to be. Plattism and Tammany ism were too closely united in New York city for the good of the people.

THE city of Indianapolis has a proposition from a New York firm to haul away all of the city's garbage and night soil free of charge, provided it be given them. They have a process whereby they manufacture a commercial fertilizer from it and thereby are enabled to do the work at a profit. Our couucil has a garbage ordinance before it which will come up Wednesday night. Do not pass an ordinance that will impose a burden on the people, but one whereby the garbage and night soil and all filth can be removed at a minimum rate.

WE BELIEVE the city Council did wrong in defeating the chicken ordinance at its last meeting. Is it right that people who desire to raise flowers or vegetables or have a nice lawn should be compelled to erect high and tight fences to keep their neighbors chickens off the same? We think not. Let people who desire to keep chickens, be compelled to put up the fences and keep their chickens at home. That is the law the State has adopted on all kinds of stock. Men are compelled to fence their own stock in so that neighbors who keep no stock do not have to build costly fences to keep the other fellows cattle out. That is .the correct principle and-it applies to chickens as well as stock and the Council ahould so apply it.

CLEVELAND and his backers talk about how we should keep oui^credlt with Eaglish capitalists. They believe we should 'legislate in financial matters as well as tariff matters so as not to lose the good K' will of England. The Democratic sub erviance to England and her policy shows a great change from the .policies and principles of the patren saints of

Democracy, Jefferson and Jackson. Jefferson was an American first, last and all the time, and was opposed to all foreign influphces whatever. At one time be a%uf: "Nothing is so important as that America should separate herself from the systems of Europe and establish oue of her own. Oar circumstances, oue pursuits, our interests are distinct the principles of oar policy should be also." While Jefferson was called the father of Democracy, he WAS opposed to about every principle they now advocate. He was for the protection to Ameiican la­

bor, for the protection of American interests everywhere, and wa9 opposed to any nation of Europe dictating what our policy should be in finance or trade or any thing else. The Democratic party for years has stood for England's interests here. It is un-American, un-Jeffer-sonian, un-Jacksonian, as Old Hickory was an American through and through, and patriotic to the backbone, always standing for the interests of America.

THE Republicans swept the country this weeK wlieTeon elections were held. George B. Swift was elected Mayor of Chicago by 41,110—the largest ever given any candidate. Rhode Island and Michigan went Republican, as did St. Louis. Denver, Evansville, and other large citie3. The contests were all one sided in fact so much so as to be uninteresting. It shows very plainly that unless something entirely unlooked for happens between now and 1896, that the Republicans will carry all of the Northern States and mauy of the Southern ones.

The New M. E. Minister Coiuos Highly Recommended. We copy the following from the Logansport Reporter of Monday, April 1st, in reference to Rev. Nethercut the new minister of the M. E. church of this place and his sermon preached in Logansport on Sunday evening last, which is very complimentary indeed. Rev. Milton' E. Nethercutt, of Garratt, occupied the pulpit of the Wheatland street M. E. church for Rev. Harlan last evening. His able discourse commanded the closest and most reverent attention of his largr audience. His theme was the "Power of Love, the Underlying Principle of the Christian Faith," and so clearly and eloquently did the young minister present the glorious truths thus suggested that conviction was carried in the sound of his glowing words. Mr. Nethercut is one of the bright, brainy young ministers of the conference. He is a student' and a thinker, and his rhetoric is unusually fine. He received his ordination as elder in the chureh on Sunday, and if spared to the service to which he has consecrated his life, is one of the men who is clearly destined to leave his impress on the Northern Indiana Conference.

Attempted Robbery.

Miss Ballard living on S. State St., who works at the paper mill, drew $24 00 Monday and in the evening she and her mother and sister were counting it over. It is supposed some one saw them through the window, and later tried to get through a window to secure the money. In his attempt a stick was knocked down which aroused the women and they at once gave an alarm which scared the thief away. It was midnight just as he ran away, as the electric lights went out. Night watchman Dudding and Johnson being informed, kept a close watch in that part the rest of the night.

Eastas-McCord.

Invitations are out for the marriage of Edward Eastes and Miss Cora, daughter of E. D. McCord, near McCordsville, which will occur next Sunday evening at 7 o'clock. Mr. Eastes is a son of Columbus Eastes, near Mt. Comfort. Both are very excellent young people and will start out with bright prospects for a happy and prosperous life. The REPUBLICAN extends congratulations in advance.

Watch For tlie GreenUeld Ice Co.'s Wagon. Monday, April 1, George Morehead, proprietor of the Greenfield Ice Factory, started his wagon for the season. Cards will be given to all families who desire them, so that when they want ice they can hang out their cards. If a card is. not left with you and you want one, notify Mr. Morehead. 108t7

ANDERSON, IND., April 1, 1895.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN, Greenfield. Dear Sir—I have been notified that it will be my duty between now and the first of July next to nominate a suitable person for the appointment as a cadet in the United States Military Academy at West Point to take the place of the present cadet from this district, who is expected to graduate in June, 1896 and also at the same time to designate an alternate for the position, who must be willing to report and be examined at the same time as the regular nominee. These persons must be between the ages of 17 and 22 years, July, 1896.

I have also been notified that the person nominated by Hon. W. D. Bynum for appointment as a cadet in the Naval Academy at Annapolis has been required to report for examination on the 15tli of May next, and that if he fails to qualify it will become my duty to nominate a candidate for appointment as naval cadet to enter the academy in September, 1895. The requisite as to the age for such an appointment is that the nominee shall be between 15 and 20 years of age.

Desiring to give .ill worthy young men in the District an opportunity to compete for these nominations, I have de cided to appoint a committe to hold a competitive examination of all applicants for the positions named, and to nominate the persons who succeed in such examinations. To the Military Academy, the one ranking first in the competitive examination will be nominated in the first instance, and the one standing second will be nominated as the alternate. To the Naval Academy, if there should be a requirement for the nomination, the young man standing first in the competitive examination will be nominated.

I desire that the examinations shall be held between the 1st and 10th of May next, and in order that I may complete the arrangements at as early a day as possible I should like to have any young man in the district who wishes to take part in the competitive examination for either place to send to me his application before April 15th, so that may lay it before the committee. You will oblige me therefore, by giving public notice of this matter through the columns of your paper. Yours truly,

CHARLES L. HENRY.

Speucer—Biuford, A New !Law Partnership. Newton R. Spencer and Elmer J. Binford have formed a- partnership for the practice of law. Both of the3e young gentlemen are well and favorably known throughout the county. They have excellent educations and fine legal attainments. Mr. Spencer was elected a justice at the last election and has given excellent satisfaction. He was Prosecutor of Stanton County, Kan. one term and is a graduate of the Indiana State University. Mr. Binford is well known throughout the County by reason of his remarkably fine race for prosecutor last fall, on the Republican ticket. Both of these gentlemen are of fine presence, of genial disposition and courteous manner, and we predict a successful busine33 for them. They are honorable, upright men in every paticular and we take great pleasure in recommending them.

The Christian Church to Be Ruilt. Last night the officers of the Christian church met and proceeded to swell the subscription list beyond the $10,000 limit so that they could begin collecting at once and begin the church as soon as possible. Hon. Morgan Chandler increased his subscription to $1,500, Sam P. Gordon, to $650 Dr. W. R. King, $500 and John W. Ryen, $500. Other amounts were given, making the total amount now $10,246. Mr. Chandler and A. K. Branham will now proceed to collect money and take notes, as it is the purpose to commence the church as soon as plans can be secured. A building committee will be appointed Thursday night, and it will push the work from the start.

The congregation voted publishing report in the county papers of the proceedings and also papers read by Mrs. Ida Brooks and Debbie Parker, and a poem by Mrs. Kate Price upon whom we confered the honor of Poetess of our County W. C. T. U. which she justly merits.

Altogether the canse of truth and righteousness we believe received a wonderful uplift and we trust its effect will be lasting.
