PULQUE, the national drink of Mexico, looks like milk, green mildewed, tastes like stale yeast flavored with bad eggs, and smells like a kitchen slop-pail at the close of the second hot day.

ALEXANDER R. "(Boss)" Shepherd, who sixteen years ago, from a mud hole made Washington, D. C. one of the best paved and handsomest cities of the United States was reviled and abused at the time. Last summer however, when he returned there he was dined and entertained royally as a public benefactor. In smaller cities people frequently fight public improvements and after all'isover rejoice in the improvements, and are proud of them.
EVERY day almost we read of the gold bond syndicate coming to the rescue of the government by depositing a million or tvo of dollars in the U, S. sub treasury in exchange for paper money. Is it not a pretty pass when the United States with 70,000,000 people and $55,000,000,000 in wealth depends on a lot of Jewish bankers in London to run this government and they do it through one of their clerks in New York. Great is Grover and his colleagues as dismal failures.
HANCOCK COUNTY has the unique distinction of haying three Congressmen to represent her interests in the next Congress. Congressman Charles L. Henry, of Anderson, will do all he can for us, since the county was in his district when he was elected lest fall. He has a host of warm friends and admirers here and his ability and desires will lead him to do all he can for Hancock county, a* it wa9 his birthplace, and on account of past favors. He is moreover interested in Greenfield, as he ie owner of the electric light plant here. By the apportionment

ties were thrown in the' same congressional district, which places Congressmen Henry U. Johnson, of Richmond, and James E. Watson, of Rushville, in this district. They, of course, will do their best for Hancock county, as each will be desirous of securing as many friends as possible in okl Hancock. Both gentlemen have a laudable desire* and ambition to be returned to congress in the election of 1896. As the district is from 1,800 to 2,000 Republican, a nomination menus an election, Hancock county is proud of her representatives in Congress, three of them. There they stand—Henry, Johnson and Watson. Match them—who can? As .speakers, business men, mixers and hustlers, they staad in tha front rank, aud will not only be leaders in the Hoosier delegations, but in the Halls of Congress when pitted against all comers.
THERE are really only two distinct classes of people in a city. One is the class that lives largely in the past. Everything they see or hear is compared with that which is past and gone. If the pre eut things are equal to the past tliey are content, in fact want nothing better and rail at everyone who desires progress and a change. This class is known as the conservativejclass and when run to seed become known as old fogies who attempt to lock or block the wheels of progress. The opposite of the conservative class is an active, vigorous body of citizens radical in their ideas who believe in change and progress. While they may consider the past good and •, the present better, yet they see in the future the best of all and are striving for that goal. They are not satisfied with good or better, but want the best—progress and advancement are their watch words. Such a class of citizens area benefit and an inspiration to a city or a county, both in priva aud public ifffairs. Young man where do you propose to take your position, with the conservatives who live in the past and cling to things already established, or with the radicals who are not satisfied with the past or present, ever striving for the greater, grander things in the future which can be secured by an earnest and heroic effort.
Ruby Arena Burned.
The well known Roby prize fighting arena at Hamm md burned last night at 8 o'clock, together with the hotel and saloon. This place has been the cause of much trouble for quite a while, and many people in t'aat section are glad that it is gone. The building was built on the line of Indiana and Illinois, and was thought to be a safe place for gambers and thugs. If officers from Indiana tried to make an arrest, the parties would simply go over the line into Illinois aud thus escape, but last night officers from both States made a raid 011 the gamblers and arrested seven. The burning of the arena will probably put a stop to the lawlessness up there.
Watcli out for Tlielv«is During the Fair.
During the New Castle fair a number of robberies occured in that city. Noblesville has been troubled by midnight marauders during the last week or two. Porch climbers have been paying their respects to Rushville citizens the past week or two so let our citizens be on their guard. Sil %.

A LiKTTKR FROM BOSTON.
Mt. Waslilngtou aud the Knight Templars' Couclave. Boston, Aug. 24, 1895. EDITOR REPUBLICAN, Dear Sir:— •.
We are all in Boston sure. Arrived here at 4:44 p. m. from Mt. Washington where we were last night and today .J Jit was as cold as- a negro's hell up there. There was snow four inches deep on the north side of the hotel. The wind-'blew thirty miles an hour and made my teeth rattle. I have had trips that I would rather take than the 6,300 feet down Mt. Washington. In some places the grade falls 1,900 feet to the mile. When you get to standing perpendicular whe'i you are sitting down it beats Mose Hamilton's mule yarn, while that was in his imagination this was a stern reality, the wind howliug, the engine puffing and holding the cars on the track where to miss would have landed the cars iu splinters thousands of feet below, while the passengers would have crossed the river Styx at once and been crowned as angels or lost forever. I got out up on .the mountain while the engine stopped to take a^ drink aud got this birch bark on which to write you a letter. As you may never have come in contact with birch in your youth, as often asyou should. I send this on the bark of the tree you ha 1 so little to do with in your youth, so that you may remember ic in old age. We came to the Tub) Ho.— tm today and have seen but little o!! it. None of us have heard from home yet. All of our party tire lived and having retired are sleeping the sleep of the jus:. We will ba hare uatil after the march Tuesday. Have seen uo Indiana men yet but will goto head quarter tomorrow. We saw lots of "Shriuers" as they call themselves, who were on their way to Mecca to s.e Mahomed and ride a dromedary. They all seemed to ba jolly, good fellows but some of them were better qualified to ride an Andalusiau jackass than a camel, but on the whole.they were a fine lot 0l men, and will have a grand time. The city is in holiday attire and decorations are profuse. All our parly are well. I cannot say just when we will reach home. My ueioe, Tillie Trees, and I will leave the Walkers at New York until some change is made. I wrote W. F. Pratt from the top of Mt. Washington and asked him to show you the letter, and you will please show him this, as it is laborious to write although I eau do the thinking all O. K. such as it is. By the way, I have had a glimpse of the Boston Commons and peeped around two sides of it. I do not know ho-v many sides it has, but most of things here have more than two sides an two ends. Tha sf.reets are narrow and run iu every direction so far as I can see. Good-bye. No-v for breakfast. Yours Truly,

to the seat. Mrs. Wood Walker aud Miss Trees suffered wish headache one day but are better now. Mrs. J. Ward Walker aud Miss Sarah Walker stood the trip excellently and enjoyed everything. Mrs. Ward says this is one of the nights she will remember all her life, as she was never so near heaven before. Wood Walker is the boy of the party, aud looks after everything very efficiently. All are having a grand time.
In this letter Mr. Marsh insinuated that he w.is nearer heaven than the editor of the REPUBLICAN had ever been, but he said he confined his remarks to the present.
Voters Vs. Saloons.
The Good Citizen's League of this city, are now securing names to a re in oust? ance against Raleigh McLaughliu securing license to sell whiskey iu the second ward. If they succeed in obtaining a majority of the voters of the ward he cannot ootain license nor apply again inside of t^o years. The people should be encouraged by all moral and Christian people aud thus drive the curse of intemperance Jroui our city.

In his letter to Mr. Pratt, Mr. Maih speaks of the gra.cl scenery through Canada aud Laks Cliamplaiu. He describes the trip up Mt. Washington. The cars are pushed up tha iucliue, the locomotive being driven by four engines. It has two cog wheals which run in a wrought iron segment track and one feels anything but safe. Ona place lias a grade of 1,900 feet to the- mile and is called Jacob's Ladder. Here you have to hang
CITIZEN.
Congressman Henry U. Johnson, of Richmond, is iu the city getting acquainted with our people. The apportionment of the last legislature put Hancock in the si.me congressional district with Wayne county, he is therefore.desirous of an acquaintance in this County. He has chosen an oppoitune time as he will have a splendid opportunity of meeting people at the fair. Mr. Johnson is a splendid mixei, a ready and fluent conversationalist, aud beiore the end of the week will have many acquaintances and friends in Hancock county. He is wonderfully well pleased witb Greenfield and its marks of enterprise, progress and prosperity. Mr. Johnson is .1 guest at the Guymon House.
Major E. P. Thayer received a letter
from his friend, Cougressman James E. Watson, of Rushville, that he would be over and attend the Hancock County Fair a ceuple of days this week. Rueh and Hanct.ck are now in the same Congressional district and are both united with Wayne, Congressman Johnson's home. Mr. Wacson is desirous of renewing find extending his acquaintance iu Hancock Gouufy and ha* an exceedingly 1 happy manner eo d^iu^

Olive Delight, littls daughter of Webster aud Beile Cooper, died Friday morning, Aug. 9th, 1895. Delight was only eight months old, set she remained on earth long enough to taste its sorrows aud feel its pain, long enough to till the home with joy and the hearts of the fond parents with hope for her future. From the first attack it was feared that she must go, yet her parents lingered over her vainly watching for some change that would tall thu'in that their darling would yet live. But Jesus was waiting to fold the little one to his bosom and while little Delight will be sadly missed by her papft, mania, grandma aud little brother Dewiit, yet in the cltaih of one so «vveet and of such promise there is great sorrow but we know she is safe iu the arms of Jesus in a more perfect home where parents and children shall be reunited, aud shall know even as taey are known. The officiating minister, Rev. Nethercut administered words of sympathy and condolence and a large sympathizing procession followed the i\mains to Park cemetery, where the little fortu was. laid to rest.
