Hope Republican, Volume 1, Number 39, Hope, Bartholomew County, 19 January 1893 — Page 2

HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA Jerusalem is enjoying a real estate boom since the completion of the railroad from Jaffa. It is believed that the antioption bill is certain to pass both Houses, and it is equally certain that the measure will be vetoed by President Harrison. The great fruit State of the West, Oregon, has 100,000 aci'es of growing orchards, and statistics show thirty-six nurseries with 9,000,000 young trees. John L. Sullivan is said to be fatally ill with heart disease, but the probabilities are that acute alcoholic mania would be a more accurate diagnosis.

The cholera news, while not positively alarming, is sufficiently serious to render early and thorough precautions against the invasion of the scourge during the coming summer necessary. President Cleveland will have 24,000 more offices to distribute than he had when ho became President in 1884. It is not feared, however, that there will be any scarcity of applicants for the positions. The professional reformer showed up in shape at Toledo last week. Two of the detected thieves who stole natural gas are members of the committee on municipal reform, which was organized to secure better government. Revolutionists are still harrassing Mexico, but Diaz still has the ascendancy, with no probability of his overthrow. He is popular and powerful, and adventurers find the land Ol Montezuma a less inviting field as the years go by.

The big Krupp gun that is to be exhibited at the World’s Fair is | eighty-two feet long, and will throw a solid shot sixteen miles. But it will not be fired at Chicago, for the explosion of one load for its capacious '’"Under would shatter all the win•j - dow-glass in the city. The tendency among the modistes to return to crinoline will be viewed with disapproval by people of good taste and common sense. In London the movement is so formidable that societies have been organized to combat it, and the press has hurried to assist. The employes of a factory who presented their superintendent with a valuable album, some years ago, were docked by that official for the time they consumed in making the presentation, but the superintendent becomes a philantropist when compared with a Chicago ruffian who held up a man and took away the pound of moat he had bought for his Christmas dinner.

Mgr. Satolli continues to excite comment, and is causing the Catholic Archbishops as much trouble as a heresy trial. Now, it seems, he has offended those worthies by the restoration of Father McGlynn to the priesthood, because the latter had defied their authority a few years ago. Altogether the Pope’s legate does not seem to be popular with his American brethren. Tub proposition to abolish the United States Senate meets the approval of but few men of prominence. Congressman Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, however, favors the change, but whether for the reason of his inability to secure a seat in that august body is not stated. The Senate will not be abolished, as experience has demonstrated its usefulness in many cases, even if its prerogatives have boon abused.

The restriction of or at least its regulation, is one of the most important matters that will claim the attention of legislators and the public for some time to come. Consular inspection has been suggested as a remedy to prevent the coming of undesirable immigrants. This might be effective in cases where but few immigrants sail from a foreign port, but wh'ere thousands ■desire to sail every week would be impractical and oped to fraud of

every deseribtio'n. Congress can not discriminate against foreign countries, but can forbid the reception of migrants from all countries alike. One hundred and sixty-five confederate Generals still survive. Twenty-nine died last year. The veterans of both armies who waged the terrible conflict of ’61 to ’65 are rapidly disappearing, and the lastwarrior of that era will, ere many years, have been mustered out. The pension roll has reached high tide and from this time forward will naturally decrease in the number of pensioners and the amount of annual disbursements. Gerat is Science, and fantastic are the pranks that oft are played before her altar. Marvellous, indeed, have been the results to follow seemingly unimportant experiments or unexpected combinations of the elemental forces of Nature. There has been much discussion of the supposed influence of magnets upon the human system, but it has been reserved for Dr. Peterson to settle the disputed question, by test with a .dog. The canine which will thus become historical, was tied firmly in the field of a powerful magnet, and kept there for five hours. At the end of that time he was liberated, and the only perceptible effect was his joy in gaining his liberty. A boy was unaffected. Hence the astute medico concludes that the most powerful magnet cannot affect human system, and the conclusion follows that dogs are likewise safe from such magnetic influence.

The reflecting student of the “Origin of Species,” would find » puzzling subject in th‘* composite 1'Cptile proposed by Congressman Butler, of Iowa, as a symbolical flagstaff for color bearers in the United t States army. Plain poles have been good enough on many hard fouglU fields in the past, but in the gov geous future that awaits us, Mr Butler thinks we pay sonis attention to heraldry, and get things into some kind of shape so that coming generations may rjtaive instruction from even so ordJaary u utensil as a flagstaff. His biU provides “That the staff of the flag shall bo ' made to represent a sleeping American rattlesnake, head downward, with an acorn in place of the head and a white pansy bud in place of rattles ( the whole symbolizing defence, courage, wisdom, strength, peace and immortality.” Evidently the prohibition law is not working satisfactorily in Iowa.

Commodore FolgeR, who recently retired from the Bureau of Ordnance, had the fortune to serve his country during a period of the most brilliant development in the history of naval armament. It includes the ; best armor in the world for our ships, the rapid fire system, 13-inch guns, substitution of hydraulic for hand power in the handling of guns, smokeless powder, high explosives for shells, armor-piercing projectiles, i torpedoes, submarine guns, the use of non-eorrodible nickle steel as a gun metal, and a new method of manufacturing ordnance. These remarkable achievements have carried the United States to the front line of naval powers, and form a wonderful record of skill, energy, efficiency and accomplished results.

The permanent committee appointed by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, last May, to look after the questions of temperance and prohibition within the lines of church organization, had a meeting a few days ago and proposed the organization of a league in every church, to include all the members of the church and congregation who are willing to join it. These leagues are to be consolidated with each other and with similar leagues in other Christian churches, to work for the following purposes; The enforcement of existing temperance laws; the enactment of more stringent laws for the destruction of the traffic: the final adoption of Constitutional prohibition in State and Nation. Party measures are to be held subordinate, with liberty to choose political affiliations. The permanent committee represents all political parties. Rev. A. J. Kynett, D. D., of Philadelphia, is chairman. Constitutions and other necessary documents for forming leagues will bi sent on application.
