Congressman Cooper is said to have won the favor qf Secretary Carlisle by insisting upon correcting a tnis-quotatiou of one of the Secretary's silver speeches made while he was a member of the House. Governor McKinley never spoke truer words nor voiced a nobler senI intent than when he uttered these Words: It should be the aim of everyone to help bring the country back to prosperity it so recently lost. Poli1 ics should not bo permitted to deter any of us from performing a plain duty. The politics which interferes with the"'return of good times and the well being of the country should be reformed. No pride .of opinion, i-o theory, no party obligations should stand in the way. Our coUn1 ry first, is the true American sentiment. All should join,-in a patriotic • (fort to restore confidence, give steadiness and integrity to our finances, employment to our millions of workmen and the country an oppor1 unity for its greatest development. Tramp! tramp! tramp! is the sound heard on the streets at Indianapolis this week and Hoosierdorn is echoing the cry of welcome voiced by our State papers to the boys in blue. Many regard this encampment as one of the last groat gatherings of the boys of ’01. Time and age are fast thinning the ranks which once faced the cannon’s shot and shell. Brave heroes, they who endured cold and hunger, fatigue and distress that we might be a united nation. The nation may well be proud of her heroes. And our state capital in all its royal deckings gives them just the hearty welcome they deserve. Long live ihe brave boys of’61! Time may whiten their heads and thin their ranks, but it only adds luature to their name.

Thk Indianapolis Nows recently paid its respects to Senator David Ci. Hill. Its closing words are fine hit sarcasm. We can not refrain from quoting, while at the same time, we regret that it is possible to say them with truth of any man who represents a great si.ate in our .Senate. The Senator closes with the following virtuous and patriotic outburst: My rtwtlii«u;sh('(l colleague and myself iVHl cheerfully vote for this bill. •■unaWed by power and nncormpted by Federal patronage," We are glad to know it, although we can not think that the gentleman is voluntarily virtuous. Does he t hink so himself? Does he not, even cow, in all the glow of his vaunted purity, feel that he would have been a vigorous defender of any admin if . lion measure, if the President had ; Mowed him to control the New ' 'ork citv appointments? Ho is unbrought because no one would buy him. And this man is in the United .States Senate as a representative of the great State of New York! He is not worthy to unloose the latchet of Dan Voorhco’s shoes. Ignorant, tricky, a proved corruptionist, eaten up with vanity—this is the man who boasts of his services and who presumes in Wt-nre deut and to instruct the ecu’'? - y! I

Thirty itllmitrx lu the Art Gallery. The Art Gallery, the photograph of which lies before me in a beautiful souvenir paper weight, is one of the most fascinating buildings of the White City. As one enters the massive palace and pusses through the various apartments he feels almost as if he were upon sacred ground—there is so much soul spread before his view. Russia has an interesting group partly because of its appropriateness more because of its real wortm. The Departure of the ship of Columbus —The Landing at SanSalvador — : The Farewell at Palos—The Arrival of the Flpet in America. These well known scenes, in fine poloring every minute detail so exact, makes one wish to stop and carefully study each face of the canvas. But there is not time. “A Potato Plot” by W. Raphael of Canada is most pleasing. One cannot help smiling back at the little lads upon the wheelbarrow of potatoes. In this apartment hangs “The Foreclosure of the Mortgage” —so sad in itself that it moves one deeply, yet so attractive that one must almost tear himself from viewing it, —a father weak and worn with long illness propped up in the old rocker —his mother a little before him seated at a small table at work, behind her standing, hat on, the sheriff reading their doom—the mother by the side of her husband, bead bowed, weeping—the children playing about, but hushed as if they too felt the loss already taking hold upon them. It is touching in the extreme. There is another in Great Britian’s exhibit which has found its way into my heart to stay, I suppose forever. It is by Rudolf Lehman —“The Reaper and the Flowers”. The scene is a perfect reproduction of the poem by our ownChiidren’sPqet. A mother lying quietly asleep with an expression of perfect peace on her face,— by her side her little innocent babe playing with bright posies; just behind the child a field of ripened grain and cutting slowly, yet steadily, an angel with his scythe approaches the babe. “And with his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, Ana the flowers that grow between.” One can scarcely describe his emotions. He wishes to snatch the child out of reach of the sickle and place it in the mother’s arms so near,: —yet it cannot bo. We pass hastily many, many things of worth and beauty but time flies and we must leave it all for a plainer atmosphere yet with a feeling that we have been in a maze of unfathomable beauty. F. The Review of Reviews for September is a number of fine variety and timeliness. It epitomizes and synchronizes the whole planet for the month of August, 1893. It discussed the monetary crisis, the silver debate, the tariff outlook, the "Bering Sea decision, the French attack on Siam, the progress of the Home Rule bill, the politics of the European continent, various matters at Chicago and- the World’s Fair and a hundred other timely subjects, the whole number being profusely illustrated with portraits and pictures. A sketch of Engineer Ferris and his great wheel is a singularly readable and attractive article, and Mr. Stead contributes a most noteworthy character sketch of Lady Henry Somerset. There is an illustrated review of the fascinating story of Joan of Arc, the inspired Maid of Orleans and a group of papers on the silver question by! professors in the University of I Chicago. The “Leading Articles of the Month”are notably well selected, while the “Record of Current gives one a summary day by day of the remarkable course of the recent monetary crisis; and the cartoon reproductions in the “Current History in Caricature” are uncommonly entertaining. The Review of Reviews can be clubbed with the Republican for $3.15 per year. The Review of Reviews alone $2.50. Subscriptions taken at this office. Attention, TeadierN.

FARM EFTS FAIR. The Old Settlers picnic and Farmer’s Fair held at Brown’s grove had a fair attendance at its opening on j Thursday. The- brass band from Leett’s Corner and several choirs furnished the instrumental and vocal music for the occasion. Many old time relics were on the ground and the sight of these brought the aged back to the scones of childhood; and the octogenarian, in memory once more trod its happy paths. After the opening preliminaries were completed the Rev. Crawford, an aged pioneer responded to the “Old time church.” He said the contrast of that day and this, was marvelous. When a preacher had a horse, saddle and bridle, a pair of leather paddle bags, Testament and hymn book he was fully equipped for his work. He had known ministers thus equipped to travel a circuit of 300 miles, preaching every day in the week and three times on Sunday. While these men were poorly educated, they were full of the Holy Ghost and worked diligently and accomplished much. Ministers of today, imbued with the same spirit would be a power, and when preaching, amens, would roll up all around them. Rev. Albert Carter responded at the call of his name. He said he was not an old man, though he well remembered when houses were from four to six miles apart and when the first church was organized in the township north of the one in which ,he was then speaking. Being a pedagogue in early life he spoke of the schools, and the old time school house. J. A. Dillman said (!0 years ago he attended the first school meeting held in Jackson township Decatur county, Indiana and when the license system came in vogue, he was examined in Greensburg and received license on which he taught for five years, for the reason that he never found a school director who could read them. He contrasted the old school house with the beautiful one of today, and admonished the young to make good use of the opportunities that were open to them. J. B. Shirk, 77 years, had been a school teacher. He taught three months for $16. He favors compulsory education. James Banister made a good talk on old time farming. He settled here 66 years ago; was familiar with all the details of pioneer life, of which he gave a vivid description. John McCallie was born in Indiana 72 years ago and was rocked in a sugar trough. He gave his experience in raising and manufacturing into cloth, cotton and flax. He said his wedding suit was the, first bought clothes he ever had and they were Kentucky Jeans. He has at home an old relic that $10(1 would not buy; it is a counterpane or bedspread, all wool, made by his mother 100 years ago. After the reading of a paper by Godfrey Mench the old people’s hour was closed by benediction pronounced by the Rev. A. Carter. In the afternoon of the first day a temperance contest was held. Dr. Woodard, of Columbus, presided. The contestants were Jennie Fogle, Maggie Durham, of Seymour, Maggie Herold, of Columbus, Willie Prall, of Petersville, and Gertie Regennas, of Hope. The recitations were excellent. The prize, a five dollar gold piece, was carried oft' by the representative of Hope, Miss Regennas. This closed the exercises for the first dav. Ihe second day came clear and warm, and early in the day the day the crowds began to gather. The crowds are variously estimated at from 6,000 to 10,000. The display of articles of all kinds was excellent. Farm products and live stock were there in abundance. The afternoon was taken up with a concert conducted by J. A. Carter. Young folks hour followed and the people were well entertained. The fair is a pronounced success and will doubtless be repeated next year. C.
