Greencastle Star Press, Greencastle, Putnam County, 5 October 1895 — Page 4

THE STAR-PRESS. Frank A. Arnold, Editor and Proprietor. S.tturd.iy, Oct. 5, 18 TERMS «'ue Dollar per Year Entered at the Postoffice. Greencastle, Ind. as second-class mail matter. We want a good correspondent at each nostoffice in Putnam county. Those now acting as correspondents will please notify us when they are out of supplies of any kind and we will forward the same to them promptly The indications are that Presidential lightning is ajit to strike the Matthews domicile in IhlHJ. Harrison still believes that a cheap coat is identical with a cheap man, but he is not saying so as much as of

yore.

The indications are tint the Indiana Democracy will be solid for Matthews in the next national convention—this is as it should be. Only $150 will pty for both the Star Press and Indianap>lia Weikly (Sentinel for a whole year. Now is the time to take advantage of this £<eat < tier. The city tux levy in Vincennes is f 0 cts.; in Gieencastle the city tax levy is 00 cts. Vincennes is soundly Democratic and Greencastle is overwhelmingly Republican. Report has it that McKinley keeps his ears stuffed with cotton, so that he may not hear the hum and buzz and roar of men and machines in the thriving industries of the country. The New York Democrats are at their old capers—Tammay and antiTammay are fighting each other with more vim and vigor than either or both combined ever tight the Republicans. The fool-killer should visit the leaders of these warring Democratic

factions.

Calamity howling is still the go with Republicans who can not or will not see the revival of business in all lines plainly visible to unprejudiced people, hut this howling amounts to naught—the roar,and hum, and buzz of revolving wheels and pounding hammers in the industries of the nation drown out hearing the laments of calamity croakers. The South Bend Times says; The Greencastle Star-Press, edited by Frank A. Arnold, is taking a very decided stand in favor of solidifying western sentiment in favor of a western man for the Democratic nomina tion for the presidency. Without attempting to arouse a prejudicial feeling against any particular eastern as pirant, The Star Press emphasizes the fact that New York has practically had a monopoly of Democratic presidential nominations for a quarter of a century and gives good reasons why a different policy should be pursued next year. A candid, moderate, goodnatured agitation in this direction can hardly come amiss. The day will come when tariff’ taxation will be a thing of the past, and the expenses of the National Government will be provided for by direct taxation, as are the expenses of Stales, counties, townships, and cities. The people will then appreciate the fact that they have been taxed more heavily than they knew ; that they contributed to the treasury of the federal government whenever they bought any article of necessity or luxury that was listed in the tariff schedules for taxation. Tariff’ or indirect taxation is wrong in principle, it is a sort of confidence game played upon a confiding people, and there is but one way to escape i' while alive and that is to supplant it by direct taxation for the support of the government. It will not do , 'tis not good policy to fail to remind our Republican brethren, occasionally, that the tariff is a tax, aud that the people pay it. Under the McKinley bill they were taxed so heavily that the burden interfered with and paralyzed the trade and industry of the country -a panic ensued ; laborers were idle, factories were silent, business men were forced into bankruptcy. How different the condition of things after the Democracy came imo | iwer and supplanted the McKinley law .. i'h the Wilson bill, which reformed un.l reduced tariff taxation—stagnation g ■ way to activity in all lines of business; working men were given opportunity to labor at advanced wages ; those forced into bankruptcy were cheered with brighter prospects for the future, and soon the hum of industry' was heard over the land. With such an object lesson before them it is not reasonable to even suppose that Republicans can triumph at the next ensuing national election; “home market” ami “pauper labor of Europe” will not do for a Republican r; Hying cry in 1896—it lost its force with the passing of McKinleyism.

All is not happiness for the new woman—a bloomer clad one Tell oti' her bicycle, recently', in Illinois, and broke her neck.

Reed is endeavoring to figure out whe her he can consent to he Speaker of the next House, and at the same time keep all the strings in hand that In feels are necessary to lead him into the Republican Presidential nomination in 1896

The Democratic editors of Ohio, having seen the error of their past ways, are arranging to organize a Democratic State Editorial Associa tion. The movement will result in nothing hut good for the Democratic party, as it will give strength and unity of purpose to the Democratic press of the State.

If this thing goes on there will be no difference between the titled aristocracy of Europe and the monied plutocracy of the United States—tintwo are being blended and alloyed together in matrimony at an amazingly rapid rate—the last is Vanderbilt’s daughter and Millions engiged to marry an English Duke.

The people of Atlanta have worked hard and unitedly in getting up tin Cotton States Exposition, and now that it is opened its greatness and scope can be appreciated. It is the largest and most complete industrial exposition ever opened on the conti nent, save and except only the World’s Fair at Chicago, being more varied that the Centennial Exposition of VO, in Philadelphia. The indications are that it is going to be largely attended and successful in every respect, as it surely deserves to be. This Exposition will result in it better understanding of the South— of its greatness; of its agricultural richness; of its climate ; of its possibilities as a home for the farmer and the mechanic. It will introduce another era of prosperity and result in a largely increased emigration to the South.

Eighty-Ninth Anniversary. On Saturday, Sept. 28, at the resipeuce of Township Trustee Thos. M. Sanders, was celebrated the eightyninth anniversary of the birth of his father, John Sanders, of Centerville, Iowa. Relatives aud friends were present to the number of fifty-six, who partook of a feast such as only could be spread by munifleeut nature, aided by the most fastidious understanding of the culinary art, which was partaken of under the canopy of the clouds, which now and then allowed the pleasant sunbeams to pass bi-tween them Could one, under such an environment, fail to do justice to his alimentive instinct? In the afternoon reminiscent talks were had until late in the evening, when all departed feeling that it was a day well spent. Those of the family present from a distance were Robert Sanders and children, of Centerville, Iowa; James Sanders and wife, Mr. Ward and wife, Mr. Friend and wife, of Whitesville, Ind.; Frank Richardson and family, of Morton; and Reese Dodds, of Moravia, Iowa.

Obituary.

On Monday morning, Sent. 16, 189"), death laid its icy hand on littlu Perry, infant son of Emery and Rebecca Akers. But one short year did this beautiful flower bloom on earth and ere the second came around it had fallen asleep on the bosom of its Savior and been transplanted to the garden of Heaven to bloom throughout eternity. Departing before the chilling frosts of winter could mar its gentle fragrance and purity. The little messenger with its golden haired angel like appearance is but a treasure laid up in Heaven, where the Savior says, “Moth nor rust doth not corrupt.” Its memory is a link in the golden chain that binds the bereaved to Heaven. When the hand of death presses ion afflection into ths htrman heart, and its weight seems at times, more terrible than can ne borne, and human sympathy seems weak and of little avail. Then to God alone we can turn for consolation and hope who says, “I am the resurection and the life,** ann wbove tell of the home beyond the skies where there will be

no more sorrow and no more tears. This lovely bud, so young so fair

Called hence by early doom,

Just came to show how sweet a flower,

In Paradise would bloom.

Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,

Death came with friendly care

The opening bud to Heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there. * xx
