HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA ••PROCRASTINATION is the thief of time,” but saves postage stamps if applied to the • matter of correspondence; “Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates. For whoso fiudeth me findeth life.” “It is folly to gild refined gold and the height of foolishness to paint the lily,” but the man who perfects a dead sure process for imparting an agreeable and lasting odor to chrysanthemums has a great future awaiting him. The weather prophets seem to have arrived at the unanimous conclusion that we are to have an uncommonly severe winter. The sample exhibited in this latitude Dec. 5th indicate that they may possibly have staggered on to the truth in some unaccountable manner. Some tender-hearted people are denouncing the all absorbing game of foot-ball as immoral, dangerous alike to life and hopes of eternal salvation, leading the infatuated adept into all sorts of excesses and dissipations. Yet the game 'was introduced in America by Rev. D. S. Shall, of Jacksonville, 111. This presumably pious parson organized the first regular team on this side of the Atlantic at Yale College in 1872. “The Lost Atlantis” is only a fabplous country, island or continent, fhat tradition says once existed between the shores of Europe and America, that a great earrthquake jor natural convulsion destroyed, with all its inhabitants. The disappearance of one of the largest islands off the Australian coast recently gives a color of possibility to the fable that is far from comforting to the inhabitants of the isles of the lea. _ _ It is said that American dyers have not as yet been able to attain the best results with sealskins, their work being far inferior to that of foreign workmen. The aristocratic dames of eastern cities when they find it necessary to have their costly sealskin cloaks repaired always send them abroad. The fur trade in New York is largely in the hands of Ger-man-Hebrews, and the traffic is carried on in all sorts of places, from private apartments to large establishments employing many workmen and large capital. People with a taste for statistics will be interested in figures bearing upon the matter of life insurance. The vast sums involved in the almost innumerable projects of socalled life insurance are realized by few. The sum total of life insurance policies issued in the world is thought to reach the enormous sum of 112,000,000,000. Of this amount 15,500,000,000 is placed in the United States. New schemes are constantly developing and as matters now run the United States will soon have as great an amount in policies as all the balance of the world together. It is published for a fact that many well-to do citizens of Soda Springs, Idaho, made the World’s Pair trip as cattle tenders on stock trains, receiving their passage and 120 and a return ticket as compensation for their services. Merchants »nd lawyers, preachers and physi:ians dropped their dignity for the time and saved their cash in this way. The fact is not presented in derogation, but rather as an illustration of the energetic and thrifty spirit that inspires the typical Western character. Me. Galbeeth, of Muncie, who was reported to have got out of breath very suddenly while involved in a life and death struggle with a running noose depending for its offensive qualities upon a lord of the lorest in the neighborhood of an interior Pennslyania town, the same having been reported to have been lovingly applied to the Adamic protuberance projecting beneath the noble visage of the aforesaid Galbreth has returned to the magic

metropolis of the gas belt with the reliable information that, to the best of his knowledge, he is still destroying the life-preserving qualities of his usual allowance of the circumambient atmosphere. Mr. K. M. Peolis, of Ceylon, connected with, the Cingalese exhibit at the World’s Fair, has established himself in business in Chicago. He will deal in East Indian jewelry, precious stones and silk embroidery. Mr. Prolis will become a naturalized citizen of the United States, says he likes the country and hopes to make it his future home if Be can stand the winters, of which he has a dread. He is superstitous, has had his fut ure foretold by a horoscope, wears a “goma” ring for luck, which he will change for a diamond at the expiration of a term of eighteen years, seven of which have passed away. All precious stones are believed by the Cingalese to bring good luck if properly worn. It will be shocking information to many people to be told that human skulls and skeletons are regularly imported from Egypt to the United States to be ground up and sold as fertilizers. Such transactions are a travesty on civilization, and are fraught with more inherent barbarism and incipient cruelty than the most savage acts of painted aborigines, for the simple reason that they are committed by civilized men without any other object or excuss than the love of a trifling gain. “All flesh is grass” indeed, but we can surely raise enough grass without despoiling the graves of a vanished race or tampering with the tombs of silent centuries. If there is any spot or object on earth that should be held sacred and inviolate by all mankind it is the grave and its silent occupant. How we recoil at the thought that in some future age our own resting places and the last couch of those we have loved may be thus ravished,- robbed and outraged to serve the material wants and insatiable greed of the future man. That we, “the heir of all the ages and the latest born of time” should be guilty of such barbarity almost passes belief, yet the fact is given to the public for truth by the New York Sun. A very unique specimen of the genus “crank” made his debut into public life on the evening of Nov. 16, at New York. He rejoiced in the name of Roeth, and casually called at the famous Delmonico restaurant carrying a jag and a gun and incidentally some irrational ideas about a mission he had to reform existing evils. He began shooting in a regardless fashion and emptied his revolver to the great damage of plateglass and detriment to the nerves of the frightened guests, at the same time howling, “Down with the rich!” The restaurant was as speedily emptied of guests, waiters and proprietors as the crank’s revolver had been of its bullets, but officers captured Roeth after a hard fight. He was registered at the police station : as G. A. Roeth. occupation stone cutter, age 28. He stated that he, made $25 a week and had never suffered poverty himself, but that he had been impressed with the terrible contrast between the lavish luxury of the rich and the suffering and privations of the poor, and he had only planned his performance at Delmonico’s as a means of calling the attention of the public to such conditions, without any intention of harming any one. He was remanded for trial. Judge Gary’s Views. The Chicago Inter Ocean asked for expressions from the leading citizens of that city as to their impressions of the Fair. Judge Gary, the noted jurist who tried the anarchists, sent in the following, from which it will be seen that he is something of a humorist 'as well as a stern and relentless judge: “The particular feature of the World’s Fair that made the strongest impression upon me was the courage, skill, sanguine confidence in Chicago and perseverance under all difficulties of the men who wrought out such a marvelous success. The creator is greater than the created. The vast, bewildering magnificence of the beauty and splendor which millions admired had its earlier expression in the intellects that conceived and the hearts that executed it. The example of those men is an enduring encouragement to after times. Joseph E. Gary. “P. S. If the people of Cook county cast me off to-day this don’t go. “Nov. 7. J. E. G."

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS. Tho Senate convened at noon, Tuesday, with less than twenty-five members present. After prayer by tho chaplain tho Vice-President laid before the Senate a communication from Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, stating that the statue of Gen. Jas Shields, which had been placed in Statua ry Hall by that State, would bo unveiled Dec. 6.1893, and asking the co-operation of the Senate in the ceremony. Mr. Hoar Introduced a resolution requesting tho President to furnish the Senate with copies of all papers in connection with tho Hawaiian matter. After debate tho resolution was laid over. Mr. Dolph then addressed the Senate and expressed surprise at tho Hawaiian part of the President’s message. He said he favored tho annexation of tho islands. Mr. Gray inquired whether tho present Hawaiian government was a republic. “It comes as near to that as anything else,” replied Mr. Dolph. “It is not a republic, that Is certain,” said Mr. Gray. Resolutions concerning tho death of Hon. Charles O’Neill, late a Representative from Pennsylvania, were offered by Mr. Cameron, and as an additional mark of respect the Senate adjourned. In the Senate, Wednesday, a spirited discussion of tho Hawaiian matter occupied the time. Mr. Hoar spoke in support of his resolution of the previous day. He said that the President’s message, if it meant anything, meant that the President was meditating the question whether he should by his own executive authority commit an act of war against a friendly power. Tho President was, falling into the habit of using extraordinary language. Mr. Mills opposed the resolution. He denied that the I’resident meditated an act of war. Mr. Mills asserted that tho entire Hawaiian difficulty had arisen because tho sugar planters wanted to obtain the bounty on sugar to be paid to them out of the pockets of American citizens. It was not in the President’s power, continued Mr. Mills, to wage war against Hawaii, and he had not claimed that it was within his power Mr Vilas opposed the resolution. Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island asked Mr. Vilas why tho President should not take tho public into confidence, but the Wisconsin Senator declined to be diverted by such question. Mr. Vilas said that Mr. Hoar was begging the question. Mr. Hoar then continued, saying that tho Queen yielded to armed insurrection and not to tho American troops. Mr. Hill said he did not propose to cross the bridge till he got to it, but that he would for once agree with the Senator from Massachusetts. He favored the resolution, and thought tho Senate should have all the information obtainable on the subject. Mr. Sherman spoke in favor of the resolution. Mr. Gray of Delaware also favored the motion. Mr. Frye of Maine spoke of tho high character of ex-Minlster Stevens, and declared his readiness to defend him against any attacks. Mr. Call closed the debate. Resolution was then adopted without division. After a short executive session the Senate adjourned. In the House, Wednesday, a motion prevailed permitting Col. Mills, of the U. S. Cavalry, to act as a commissioner to determine boundary line disputes between tho United States and Mexico, Gen. Grosvenor asked consent for the consideration of a resolution instructing the Secretary of the Interior to furnish the grounds upon which some nineteen hundred pensioners in tho State of Ohio were suspended from tho pension rolls subsequent to July 4,1893. Mr Outhwaite said he had introduced a resolution looking to the same end on Monday, and asked to have the Grosvenor resolution referred with it to the committee on pensions. It was so referred. The Senate amendment to the resolution appropriating $50,000 to carry out the provisions of the Chinese exclusion as as extended, was agreed to. At 1:10 tho exercises in connection with the unveiling of the Shields statue began and the House adjourned. In the Senate,Thursday,tho proceedings were without intere t. Mr. Morrill offeroI a resolution that all parts of the President’s message referring to tariff, Income tax and internal revenae b ! referred to the committee on linmce, and gave notice that he would adiress the Srnate thereon next Wednesday. Mr. Hill gave notice that he would call up the bill to repeal the federal election laws next Monday. In reply to a quo tion by Mr. Chandler, Mr. Hill raid there was no written report accompanying the bill reported by him, as tho reasons for its passage were self-evi-dent. A number i f unimportant bills and resolutions were introduced after which tho Senate adjourned. In the House, Thurday.the resolution for additional clerical force arouse! opposition but was passed. At the expiration of the morning hour the House went into committee of tho whole to consider bankruptcy bill. Mr. Hailey spoke against the bill. Col. Oates closed the general debate for the advocates of the measure. H< did not believe any parly opposed the foreclosure of mortgage s, or inveighed against the auction block when resort 'd to under due process of law, or sought to evade the payment of any sort of just obligation waen it fell due. There were nc privileged cla-po< in this country—debtor or creditor. Tins was a mild and humane kill. Mr.Oates spoke an hour and a half. At the conclusion of his speech the committee rose and, at 5 p. m., the House adjourned. 2 In tho House, Friday, the bill for the admission of Utah was called up. Mr. Dingley raised the point of no quorum. Republicans refused to vote in order tc break the quorum. Filibustering tactics consumed the morning hour. The Houst then went into committee of tho whole oc the bankruptcy bill, and after much parliamentary wrangling a vote was reached to strike out the enacting clause and th< bill was killed—yeas 143, nays 111. Ter Indiana members voted with the majority The House immediately adjourned til Monday.

BOLD, BAD BURGLARS. “While the Cat’s Away the Mice Do Play.” file Cashier Bats While the Thief Ketreats—With *15.000. The South Bend National Bank, one of the largest banks in northern Indiana, was robbed of over $15,000, Thursday. Tho robbery was committed in broad daylight, while hundreds of people were on the street, and tho robbers succeeded in getting away with their bootty without leaving the slightest clue. Cashier :Myron Campbell remained at the bank, which is in the heart of the city, until all the employes wore gone. It was 12:15 o’clock when lie left. At 13:50 ho returned. He passed down the corridor alongside the desks and turned to enter the door opening back of the line of desks. As he was about to enter the door his foot struck a chisel; he picked it up but thougnt nothing of the matter, as the plumbers had been in the building. Ten minutes later, when John M. Brown arrived, Mr. Campbell showed to him the chisel. Mr. Brown’s suspicions were aroused to such an extent that an investigation was immediately instituted. The men found a rear window open, the back door unlocked and the door between the directors’ room and the counting room mutilated. A rush was then made for the vault. The door was as Mr. Campbell left it. A glance showed that money had been taken, but they could not tell how much. The police were at once notified and tho afternoon’s business went on as usual. No particular effort was made to determine the exact amount until the day’s balances were made up, when it developed that tho robbers secured $15,900.

GEORGIA’S SCHEME. Will Issue Wild-Cat Money and Fight the Federal Laws. The Georgia House, Wednesday, at Atlanta, by a vote of 131 to 15, passed a bill providing for the issue of currency notes by State banks, and if the present intention prevails the State will provide means and methods for testing the constitutionality of the 11 per cent, tax on State bank issues. Hut three Democrats voted against the bill, the opposition coming from Populists and Republicans. A remarkAle circular has been issued by Gov. Lewelling, of Kansas, to all police boards of that State in regard to vagrants. He directs that city ordinances making it a finable offense to be found “sleeping in a box car” or “without visible moans of support” bo disregarded. Practically it leaves Kansas without vagrant laws.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and aperfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. ■ When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. If the stomach is foul or bilious It will cause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bedtime. Read the Label. Send for Book. THE JUDGES S'.
