Hope Republican, Volume 1, Number 38, Hope, Bartholomew County, 12 January 1893 — Page 2

JOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jat C. Smith. Hope Indiana Secretary Foster assures the country that gold will not go above par. The consolidation of New York and Brooklyn is a possibility of the Dear future. Brazil has had another revolution and is determined to keep up with the procession. Our gold continues to go abroad although we need It so badly in our Keely Institutes. Senator Wasiiburne, the Minnesota miller, declares that the low price of wheat is due solely to the gambling in ‘‘futures.” A painting machine that will do the work of forty men is being c m ployed upon the interior of the World’s Fair buildings. The Panama canal may not be completed, but the Isthmus will have the proud distinction of having the largest hole in the ground at least. Montana is honored in tho name of the new “Fort Harrison,” and the War Department is also honored in thus complimenting the President. Prop. Henry Preserved Smith, the convicted Presbyterian heretic, says, “I am a Presbyterian still,” That’s right, Henry. Anything but a moonshine still. Keep your spirits in bond and all will yet be well. A voting-machine is announced In New York by which the voting is done by the voter pressing the but. ton opposite the name of the candidates for whom he wants to vote,and the machine does all the rest, even to adding the votes and gi'dng the result. European countries are worried over the prospect of restricted emigration to the United'.States; and well they may be, for in this direc-1 tion lies our only relief from evils constantly increasing. Let them take care of their own paupers and er minals at least, and of their abject poor as well. Smith —Wcliau, tis time —has again distinguished himself, and con' ferred a boon upon hia country, by the discovery that a copious draught of coal oil will quench a whisky thirst and afford positive relief for twenty-four hours. And now we may expect ‘‘double chloride of kerosene” institutes for tho cure of drunkenness. Among the great enterprises claiming the attention of the people of this country the consolidation of New York and Brooklyn into one municipality is not the least. The qities clustering about New York harbor, naturally having common interests, naturally tend to common government, and in the near future will challenge the world as the largest city on the globe. »Strange as it may seem, a systematic Mohammedan missionary enterprise will be begun in this country next year, and even far-off India, with its Buddhism and Theosophical Adepts, casts compassionate eyes upon us and bewails our benighted condition. Nevertheless the Foreign Missionary societies of this country will continue to do business at the old stands. Originally the Presidential elect, ors of the several States, as provi ded by act of Congress In 17112, cast their votes the first Wednesday in December, but by act of Feb. 3,1887, this was changed to the second Mon day in January next following the appointment of the electors, which' in the present case, is Jan. 9, 1893. Two States have failed to conform to the act of 1887. The Kentucky elect ors, under the act of 1792, met on on the 7th inst., and the recently enacted Michigan Electoral Law fell into the same error. Fortunately no bad results can follow, as the Ken tucky electors will reconvene, and the Michigan electors have been en lightened uj to their duty by the Supreme Court.

This does not include the largo amount used at home. There is immense excitement at Brownsburg over the appearance of a strange and formidable animal the name of which is unknown.

A timber Wolf of the red-gray species has been plundering sheep-folds in Montgomery county for two years, and numerous efforts to run him down failed.

Their are at present twelve insane convicts at the prison South, two of whom are desperate.

Frank Hall, a prominent business man of Jamestown, attempted to climb over a freight train. The train started and then backed. Sir. Hall’s leg was caught between the bumpers, tearing the flesh from the log between the ankle and the knee and breaking the small bone. He shouted for help, but no one was near.

Robbie—’Cause he’s always preaching to us boys about the sin of smoking. When you see a man that’s very I much inflated, you mustn't jump at the conclusion that it’s because his wife blows him up.
