CELEBRATING THE FOURTH. Fite Diy at Fortville—Address by Col. John A. Bridgland—Celebrations Elsewhere. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fortville, Ind., July 3.— The 110th annivertary of the declaration of American independence was appropriately observed here to day by the people of fortville and vicinity. The local band, a well-trained choir, and an organ furaished excellent moeic for the occasion. The •ending of the Declaration and short addresses hy several speakers occupied the forenoon. At soon an adjournment for lnnch was taken. At 2 p. m. an audience of fifteen hundred to two thousand people assembled at the stand, in * beautiful grove near the edge of the town, to hear the address of Col. John A. Bridgland, who tame here in response to an invitation from Sol. D. Kempton Post, No. 328, G. A. R, of this place, under whose anspices the celebration was conducted. Colonel Bridgland was escorted to die stand, where he delivered the following adItUK “Fellow-citizens—lt affords me real pleasure to be with you to-day. not alone because you lave paid me the compliment expressed in four kind invitation to address you, but because this is the first time since the close of the war for the Union that I have bad the pleasure of meeting so many soldiers of my old regiment, the Second Indiana Cavalry, which I had the honor to orgauize in 1861; and, at the same time, •f impressing, if possible, upon you all the importance of contiuuing an earnest recognition *f our national Independence Day. I would say to my comrades, many changes have taken place within the last quarter erf a century. A nation has been rebuilt since the attack upon Fort Sumter in 1861. The acreage under the plow has been doubled twice. Forests have been turned into farms, farms into villages, and villages into magnificent cities. With all the losses that we sustained from 1861 to 1865, we have grown in importance to such an latent in the increase of population and every other resource that the whole world has become jealous of us. England lias paid us a balance •of trade of 41,300,000.000 in the past fifteen {ears, all the time increasing her national debt n the meantime, France has more than doubled ber debt, which is now the largest in the world; whilst our government bonds are not sufficient in amount for the convenience of the business of the country. The people of the old world who so lone held this country in contempt, •re now jealous of our prosperity, and are amazed at the marvelous development of our resources since the close of the war. There are •bout 235,000 miles of railway in the whole world, of which we have about 120.000—more than one-half of the grand total. Our public aehool system excels all others cu the face of the globe. Our people, the most ■elf reliant And ambitious in all the world, owe their success to-day to Capt. George Washington, who resigned his commission under the British government in 1759, and, after spending years upon his estates in Virginia, vu, in 1775, commissioned a general by the people of the North American colonies, who were worn out byUppressive taxation without representation. The story of the trials and vicissitudes of the long struggle for national independence, is familiar to every school boy, to all classes ahd conditions of people. “Three-quarters of a century passed, when a most formidable rebellion was .waged against the •nion of our States, and brought to the front another George Washington, supported by the Immortal Lincoln and every possible instru mentality that could be brought to bear for the perpetuation of the Union. For two long years, 1861 to 1863, the Union seemed to be in most serious jeopardy, but Grant and his asso Bi&tes rode booted and spurred through rivers of blood all the way from Mill Springs, in Missouri, to Appomattox Court-house, where Lee and his army surrendered, receiving the most generous and honorable terms from George Washington the second. They have both passed away. All of the associates of the first, and most of the associates of the last are numbered with the dead. But our great Republic lives, and in my opinion will continue to live as long as the children are taught that American liberty is the surest liberty on earth, because it is a liberty of the people and by the people. “We have some present difficulties, almost as Important as any in our experience, that have come to ns through the worst elements of the old World. When a mao concludes that he will not work for $2 a day, let him quit work, if it is his pleasure to do so; but when he says, in this land of liberty of ours, that I shall not work for that mm, if 1 so wish, he becomes a' worse despot than the Czar of Russia, or the Khedive of Egypt. Such impudence, If unrestrained in our country, would aoon close up our Fourth of July celebrations, eur school houses, our churches, our factories and every avenue of prosperity in our country. When such creatures present themselves in your community, and tell you that you shall only labor so many hours a day, and that if you do not belong to their organization you shall not work at all, if you do not discountenance them In every respect, then the lives that have been lost during the last century, under Washington •nd his associates, Jackeon and his associates, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and their associates, have been sacrificed in vain. “During my last visit to Spain, when I had the pleasure of seeing grand old Grenada and the beauriful Alhambra, I was profoundly impressed by the contrast between the cities and people of that country and those of onr own. My valet took me to the top of the tower at the Alhambra and showed me the bridge where the orderly of Ferdinand and Isabella overtook Christopher Columbus with instructions to come back to the castle and receive the royal assistance that they bad before refused him*. A great nation has grown up on the continent discovered t>y the adventurous navigator who was thus indebted to the Spanish sovereigns for the means to make his voyage of discovery. In view of all that has been done for this generation, should the people now neglect to do their duty for the preservation of our institutions they will have no one but themselves to biame. “The bells that tolled the death-knell to human slavery, and made the Declaration of Independence the truth instead of ‘a self-evident Ke,’ as United States Senator Pettit, of this l&iate, declared on the floor of the United States (Senate, in my opinion, have sounded the down fall of every despotism on earth, if we prove true to our form of government and act in sympathy with the other repnblics of the world. “There are many things connected with the last twenty-five years that I would be glad to mention in this talk to you to-day if you had not already beard speech-making enough to satisfy ■ny aud ence for one day. Whilst I am not in the habit of telling anecdotes in my speeches, I will relate what occurred at an interview in 1864 at the White House, whither Indiana’s great Governor and Statesman, Oliver P. Morton, had asked me to Accompany him from Richmond to present our condition in Indiana to the great, good. Immortal Lincoln. A law had just been passed In our State forbidding Indiana soldiers voting In the field. Morton was a gubernatorial and President Lincoln a presidential candidate. There was SBOO,OOO in the State Treasury, and Ihe Legislature had adjourned without making appropriations for the management of the prisons and asylums of the State, and for the interest upon the State debt It was Governor Morton’s earnest desire that the Indiana soldiers should be allowed to some home and vote. President Lincoln’s an•wer to this proposition was that it would oe ,better for him and Morton both to be defeated than to take troops from Grant before Richmond nd from Sherman before Atlanta, and thereby allow the remainder of the brave boys to be cut to pieces. To which Governor Morton replied: *1 do not see how we are to carry this election in indiara when we were defeated by 13,000 at the last election, and have since recruited about 4.000 soldiers in Indiana by volunteering.’ The President's reply was: ’Governor, this greAt cause is In the hands of a higher power than you or 1, and. if we do oar duty, I am not afraid but what It will come out all right* I then suggested to the President the propriety of allowing the sick soldiers from Indiana a furlough of thirty days, believing that their mothers and listers ard home surroundings would restore them to health and fitness for duty in the field more speedily than would be the rase were they to remain tn camp; whereupon the President sent an orderly for Secretary Stanton, who heartily agreed to the suggestion, and the following elec

tion gave Governor Morton a * majority of about twenty three thousand. At the cose of the interview an elderly lady came rushing into the President's reception-room, and asked: ‘Where is the Presidents Governor Morton replied, ‘This is he,’ pointing to the President. She threw herself upon her knees in front of him and said: ‘I have been trying all this day to see yon, but the man at the door would not let me in,’ The President, said to ber: ‘My dear woman, what do you wisbf for she seemed almost insane. She answered: ‘When they came to my neighborhood and were recruiting soldiers the young men all around were enlisting, and finally my boy came to me and said: “Mother, I can’t see all the boys going without me; 1 must go too.’” ‘But,’ said the President, ‘what is the matter, my dear madam!* ‘Mv boy is condemned to be shot day after morrow,’ replies the poor woman. ‘And for whatF inquired the President. ‘I don’t know,’ said she; ‘but be w ui. too good a son to be a bad soldier, and I want you to save his life.’ She gave the number of his regiment and his brigade, and Secretary Stanton was directed to send the pardon immediately, which was done. Os coarse, all present were touched by the scene, wher. President Lincoln remarked to Governor Morton, ‘When I do a thing of this kind, I like to do it at this time of day [it was then nearly sundown], fori sleep better.’ My friends, thanking you for your kind attention, I bid you goodbye.” Celebrations at Other Points. Specials to the Indianapolis Journal. Frankfort. July 4 —The celebration of the Fourth of July at this place occurred yesterday, and was very successful. The business booses and many residences were elaborately and beautifully decorated, and 5,000 people were in attendance. Addresses were delivered by Judge Higinbotham and Judge Suit In the evening there was an elaborate display of fire-works. Greensburg, July 3.— The celebration of the national holiday here was a great success. At 10 A. M. a procession, composed of the G. A. R. post, Odd-fellows, fire department and other citizens, marched through the principal streets, accompanied by the Shelbyville, Slilroy and Greensburg brass bands. The assembly was held in the court-house yard. Rev. Torrance led in prayer, Miss Zene Lambert read the Declaration of Independence, and Hon. Stanton J. Peelle, of Indianapolis, delivered an excellent oration. The afternoon was occupied by tight-rope performances, a bycicle r*.ce, an old man’s walking-match, a greased-nig race, climbing a soaped pole, a sack race, a wheelbarrow race and other sports, interspersed with musie. At night, the city was illuminated, and brillliant fire-works were displayed from the courthouse tower and other places. A large portion of the town was in holiday attire all day, and the throng of people was very great, such as is seldom seen here. The order maintained was excellent, for such a crowd, and no serious disturbances or accidents occurred. Rome City, July 3. —Independence Day was celebrated at this place under the auspices of Island Park Assembly. From 1.000 to 1,500 people were present. John DeWitt Miller, of Philadelphia, delivered an admirable oration, “Our Country; its Possibilities and its Perils.” It was wide in research and very practical and sensible. After dinner Hanford’s Cornet Band rendered a fine band concert. Directly following Lafayette Sams gave an exhibition of bicycle riding on the lake with an ingenious water bicycle of his invention. The propelling power is similar to that of a screw steamer. Professor Tully gave a fine lecture in the evening, illustrated by stereopticon views. The Assembly proper commences on the 20th, with a rich and varied programme. AN IMPULSE OF TYRANNY. Judge Barrett’s Emphatic Rebuke of the American Boycott, New York Times. When the prisoners had been ranged in line, Judge Barrett said: “The moral guilt attaching to the crime of which you have been convicted is heightened by the fact that you are not American citizena Such socialistic crimes as these are breaches of national hospitality. What would you think of a man who, having sought, an asylum from oppression or poverty in a friend’s house, then proceeded to violate his domestic rules, to disregard his customs, and to disturb the peace, order and well-being of his household? Yet. that is just what you and others of your union have been doing with regard to the national household of this country—a country that welcomed you and offered you equal privileges and opportunities with its own native born citizens. .Common eratitude should have prevented your outraging public opinion, and bringing into force the actions and methods of a socialistic character which you brought with you from abroad. I trust that your conviction may inline the hearts of men of your race and, indeed, of other races, to respect our laws, both in their spirit and in their It *er. I trust, too, that it may teach them that t> ; r best and truest friend is public opinion, and that they should endeavor to secure and retain thi all-powerfal factor in every lawful and rightei is effort to ameliorate their condition. Pubik opinion is stronger than any union. It is an all-powerful foe to evil, and it is irresistible in end when on the side of right. It is to that that you and such as you should appeal and not to your own unbridled will. The lesson of these convictions also is to teach that the taking of money to prevent or stop these socalled boycotts is little better than robbery or black mail, and also to teach that the peaceful and orderly pretext by which your agents sought to evade the criminal law is a transparent sham, and that all bodies of men who parade in front of people’s shops distributing offensive circulars and endeavoring to prevent public patronage present to our public an attitude of intimidation, and are therefore conspirators, and should be and will be punished. Your action here in this present case I can scarcely believe you considered to be right. It was simply an impulse of tyranny and an unrestrained exercise of the dangerous power of combination, and it was done in a cruel, heartless and unrelenting manner. If such conduct were allowed to pass with impunity we would be on the high road to savagery. You shall, therefore, be adequately punished. But the law is not vindictive. Even your evil conduct will not close its eyes to some ground of extenuation. You were perhaps misled by the erroneous judgment of the police magistrate who, in discharging your agent, paralyzed the hands of the police and certainly assumed a grave responsibility. You were perhaps also deceived or misled by bad advice. 1 do not know who advised you or what advice he gave, but if any counsel hearing what you were about to do did not rebuke your action in place of directing it he was criminally culpable and unworthy of his honorable profession.” Passing to the offense for which the prisoners were convicted, Judge Barrett went on, referring to Mr. Theiss: “When, having reduced this man to absolute submission and having compelled him to sign the most abject document for an American citizen to sign, you compelled him to pay for the powder and ball with which you loaded the boycott pistol which you held at his head. Let me say right here to the walking delegate that if he enters the offices of any mercantile, manufacturing, or shipping firm he stands in the extreme penalty of the law if he dares to exact a single penny from his victims. lam always glad to be merciful. 1 appreciate the fact that you are workingmen, that you were deceived, but you must know in your hearts that you did wrong.” There were evidences of excitement in the audience during the charge, aud the court officers had to keep watchful eyes on all parts of the room. These evidences were redoubled when Judge Barrett proceeded to sentence, a murmur of distinct disapproval rising as each man was allotted his punishment. Judge Barrett seemed to pay little attention to it, for the court officers were everywhere aud alert. The Boston Baby's Taste. Boston Journal. A lady writes to the Journal: “Our little two-year-old boy is very fond of medicine. No matter what the kind, he takes it with evident relish, and teases for it on all occasions. The other day be came running in. and said he was sick and tired, and his legs ached, and he must have some. To pacify him his mother gave him a teaspoonful of cough syrup. After lapping out the spoon he looked roguishly up to her and said in an appealing tone: ‘Got two legs, mamma; nans’ have anozer spoonful for ze ozer leg.’ ” Its highly concentrated curative power makes Ayer’s Sarsaparilla the best and cheapest blood purifier known.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JULY 5, 1886.

CURRENT MAGAZINES. The North American Review for Jrfly publishes some very interesting letters hearing on the war and its results, written by Generals Sherman and Grant, at times during the years immediately following the war, and many <. which now appear to have been prophetic. They have beeD collected from the correspondence of General Sherman, and are preceded by an introduction by Hon. George S. Boutwell. The public will read these letters with great interest, and will be informed of the views of these two great military commanders on topics of general interest to every student of American history and the record of the events following the Rebellion. “Arthur Richmond” publishes another letter to prominent men, this one being directed to the Rev. Henry M. Dexter. Gen. G. T. Beauregard furnishes a paper on the defense of Charleston, S. 0., and Gail Hamilton has written an article on “Words.” The Presbyterian Review (Charles Scribner’s Sons) for July presents the following table of contents: “Romanism in Canada,” by the Rev. D. H. Mac Vicar, D. D., LL. D.; “The Languages of Asia Minor and Their Study as Related to Missionary Work,” by Prof. Edward Riggs, D, D.; “The Deacon.” by Rev. George S. Mott, D. D.; “Yenantius Fortunatus and His Latin Hymns,’* by the Rev. Samuel W. Duffield; “Classification of the Sciences,” by Prof Robert Flint, D. D., LL. D.; “Critical Note: the Vision of Ezra the Scribe Concerning the Latter Times of the Ismaelites,” by Rev. Isaac Hall; “Editorial Note; The General Assembly,” by Prof. Francis L. Patton, D. D., LL. D., and the usual reviews of recent theological literature. The Southern Bivouac (Louisville, Ky.) for July contains a readable article on “The First Day of Real War,” referring to the firing on Fort Sumter, by F. G. De Fontaine, illustrated, and presenting some fine views of that celebrated fortress. Ajnong the other papers of more than passing interest is one on the “Trappist Abbey of Gethsemane,” an institution established in Nelson county,. Kentucky, and occupied by as strict recluses as may be found anywhere in the world. It will be news to many that there is such a place in this country. The article is illustrated in the finest style of the art, and the account of their habits will prove very interesting to all classes of readers. Overland Monthly for July contains a story, called “A Romance of South Dome,” by the late Miss Santa Louise Anderson, who was drowned in the Sacramento river while on a yachting excursion, a few weeks ago. This lady, a graduate of the University of Michigan, author of a book that was a good deal noticed a few years ago, “An American Girl, and Her Four Years in a Boys’ College,” and recently principal of a school at San Rafael, and one of the directors of the Pacific Association of Collegiate Alumnae, was one of the most able and promising of the youuger educated women of the West Outing for July contains a comprehensive review of American yachting—second paper on this subject—embracing the time from 1859 to 1870. It is illustrated, and shows the changes made and the progress in this field of sport The Outing has succeeded in establishing itself, and is deserving of the hearty support it is enjoying. The English Illustrated Magazine (Macmillan & Cos.) for July contains a finely illustrated article on “Modern Falconry,” and another on “Handwriting.” This is a charming magazine for the family, and is growing in worth. Noble C. Butler, of this city, has contributed an article to the July number of the Andover Review, entitled “A Political Positivist.” It is an estimate of the character of Machiavelli. DANA ON EDWIN M. STANTON. A Strong Testimonial to the Great War Sec* retary's Patriotism and Parity. Congressional Record. June 19. Mr. Hepburn—Mr. Chairman. I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for presenting at this opportune moment this letter. Its statements make thoroughly complete a letter that i desire to read. I have, this morning, received a letter from the Hon. Charles A. Dana, who was the Assistant Secretary of War during the period of Mr. Stanton’s service. No man can speak of Mr. Stanton with more of authority than this distinguished gentleman. He was in position to know. His high character gives certainty to his statements. The letter reads: “New York, June 17. “Dear Sir—l am sorry to say that my period of intimacy with Mr. Stanton, and of service under him in the War Department, did not really begin until after General McClellan had been removed. For this reason I am not able to speak upon that point from personal knowledge of my own. But upon the general question of Mr. Stanton's purposes I can say most emphatically that in all my acquaintance with him he never had but one purpose in his mind, and this was to* carry the war efficiently forward to a victorious conclusion. He had no friends but those who were of that mind, and he knew no enemies bat those whom he regarded as the enemies of his country. Whoever was not for prosecuting the war most vigorously, whoever hesitated, whoever interposed obstacles, whoever in bis opinion failed to come up to the high mark of zeal and thoroughness, might be certain to have Mr. Stanton for a critic and an antagonist. Os himself, of his own personal interests and advancements, no man could be less careful than he was. All mercenary considerations he despised, aud the end of the great struggle left hirn a much poorer man than ho was at the beginning. All mere friendships he was ready to disregard and fling away as soon as he came to believe that their object did not share his own high and patriotic enthusiasm for the Union. He was such a man in his day and work as Oliver Cromwell was in his, and they who now propose to judge him by any narrow standard of their own are sure to judge wrongly. “Os course, a great, heroic figure like Stanton is not infallible, bechuse be is a man. It was always possible for him to judge wrongly, and to be deceived by erroneous evidence But one thing was never possible for him, and that was to be unfaithful to the Union or to show any mercy, in feeling or in act, toward its enemies. “It is very easy for man in this year of 1886 to find blemishes in the conduct or the character of this great man, but we who knew him thoroughly, and whose fortune it was to labor at his side and under his orders, cannot be mistaken in our opinion that without him the Union could not have been saved. Believe me, dear sir, very faithfully yours. Charles A. Dana. “Hon. W. P. Hepburn.” Mr. Runney’s Report* Boston Advertiser. We hope that the Preside''t will find time, amidst the extracting duties in which he has lately shown such critical zeal, to read this report. He is a lawyer, and he will not fail to discover that Mr. Ranney has a faculty of untangling complicated testimony and stating the substantial facts established that is worthy of his admiration, however deeply he may rfegret the necessity of the conclusion to which be mnst come, that his Attorney general, his Solicitorgeneral, his Commissioner of Indian Affairs, his Commissioner of Railroads, and other party associates whom he has distinguished by his confidence, have not acted in accordance with the sentiment, “Public office is a public trust.” It is a beautiful sentiment, and at the present time the citizens of whom he is the chief magistrate are waiting with keen interest to learn whether he holds it only as a beautiful sentiment or as a rule of conduct. If it is indeed the rule by which his administration is guided, the investigation had will be consummated by one certain event. Mr. Garland, of Arkansas, will promptly cease, by resignation or removal, to be a member of the Cabinet. The Advance of Womankind. Samuel Romeo Reed. * * * A great chalk-mark in woman’s elevation is made by this editorial paragraph in the Boston Woman’s Journal on a domestic incident to a distinguished suffragist: "The congratulations of the suffragists of the United States will be extended to Mr. and Mrs. Adkinson, 165 Elm street, Indianapolis, in consideration of the arrival of a bright little daughter at their home on the 6th inst.” Yet little more than a dozen years ago a dis-

tinguished suffragist said on the platform at Chicago that woman’s oppressed state had so oppressed her mind that when she became s mother, and they told her it was a girl, she turned her face to the wall and wept. From hoping for a boy, and weeping for a girl, to public congratulations for a girl, what an ascent in woman's condition! A DEADLY CONFLICT. Two Brothers Fight for Possession of an lilegetimate Child, Both Being Killed. Dalton fGa ) Special. News reaches here from Union county of a terrible tragedy, in which three lives were lost, and a fourth is suspended in the balance. In Ivyloe district lived two brothers named, respectively, Roll and Washington Whitmore. Roll had recently married a young lady of the neighborhood uamed Miss Hughes. Previous to his marriage he had led astray the fifteen-year-old daughter of Marion Hartness, a neighboring farmer, the result of which was a child, born three months ago. The young wife desired to raise her husband’s child, and for that purpose obtained it from its mother. Last week Miss Hartness became anxious to see her babe, and it was finally carried to her by the senior Mr. Whitmore. Once more in her possession, she refused to give it up. It was at this juncture that the two brothers, arming themselves with shotguns ana knives, determined to recover the baby by force. Their father vainly endeavored to restrain them. They reached the Hartness home, and pushing Mrs. Hartness off the veranda, attempted to make a forcible entrunce. The girl’s brother, Harvey and Ed Hartness, met them with a volley from their shotguns. Washington Whitmore fell dead at the first shot. The fight then became general, pistols and knives playing their deadly Sart. Roll Whitmore was in the act of stabbing !d Hartness. when Harvey Hartness sent a fatal bullet through him. Ed Hartness had, however. been 60 severely stabbed that his death is looked for. He is literally cut to pieces. Harvey Hartness, while not so severely cut up, is nevertheless in a desperate condition. He is now under bond for appearance in court, if he should recover. Flutter Among the Wholesale Liquor Dealers. The discovery of the Moxie Nerve Food Plant, and its acceptance by the retail dealers on account of a better profit, make the wholesale rum trade very uneasy. In Lowell, where the Moxie Extract is prepared from the plant, the sale of liquor has fallen off nearly one half, aud growing worse every day. The old drinkers find the Moxie more palatable; satifies their nervous system better; utterly destroys the .thirst for stimulants; cures nervous exhaustion; leaves no reaction or slavish appetites: makes them strong, vigorous and hungry, and capable of enduring double labor with less fatigue. This naturally weans them from liquor. The church, clergymen and ail the moral associations advocate the Moxie by every means in their power. Its results have created the most intense excitement all over New England aDd the Middle States, and to help along, the proprietors of it have agreed to sell it at the smallest possible profit. Two hundred thousand bottles have been used in Lowell in nine months. The wholesale druggists predict the country will use 12.000,000 bottles this year. It is appearing in the druggists’ windows everywhere. jig Absolutely Pure. Thispowder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesomeness.

Asa healthful summer drink, with water, milk, iced water, lemonade, effervescent draughts and mineral waters, it is the best. Mothers worn out with the cares of maternity or the household, or when weak, nervous and hysterical, should take a dose of this delicious invigorant. No other remedy is so wholesome, palatable and safe for delicate women, young children and the aged. For the nervous, sleepless, and mentally and physically overworked or worn out, Sanford's Ginger is r. pure and safe invigorator. It eradicates a craving fer intoxicants in those addicted to their excessive use, allays nervousness, assists digestion and promotes sleep. Beware of worthless “gingers,” offensively urged bf mercenary druggists, on those who call for SANFORD’S GINGER The Delicious Summer Medicine.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT. THE DAILY JOURNAL. There never was a season of more special and general interest than the present, with the promise of decreasing importance until the country is face to faoe with the great presidential struggle of 1888. In Indiana this is particularly true; for Indiana is already inthe preliminary work of the campaign of 1886, Use result of which is to decide the choice of a member of the United States Senate, and to exert a profound influence upon the character and outcome of the quadrennial struggle. Not only in this view is the approaching campaign in this State of unusual interest, but it is of much importance locally to the people of Indiana. The citizens of this State are suffering from th* maladministration of the Democratic party and frost the outrageous partisanship of the last two General Assemblies. The State institutions have been prostituted to the basest party ends, taxes have been increased, debt has been piling up, anil there is demoralization everywhere, from the lowest to the higheai department of civil government. These questions ff local administration must be met and generally discussed by all the people, in view of the election to bn held next November, at which a verdict upon them la to be rendered by the court of last resort. No Republican in Indiana can well afford to be without THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL during this time. Its columns will be devoted to a faithful and intelligent discussion of all these qees tions in which the people have so deep and abiding a concern. The political character of The Journals fixed and well" known. It is a Republican nevwpapsr devoted with its best energy and ability to advocacy of the principles of the Republican party. To JOURNAL believes there is still a pressing demand fist real, honest, upright Republicanism, and to answer that, so far as it may be able, is it* desire and purpose. The Journal’s column will be edited with earnestness and sincerity, but with a due and proper regard to caadM differences of opinion, and with full appreciation el the privileges of personal judgment aud the rights •( private character. In its political conduct Th* Journal will never be the orgai! of any man nor the subservient tool of any faction. In local affairs it will continue to assert independence of dictation in the assumed name of party, subordinating at ail times wkat may seem to be temporary partisan advantages to Its good of the whole community, aud thereby the real, permanent benefit of the Republican organization. Honest measures of reform will meet with hearty commendation, but political charlatanism will be m buked. The Journal offers its past record in sunport of its claims for the continued confidence of tha public. In view of the pending political struggle in the State we believe no better agency for Republican success can be found than to increase the circulation of The Journal, both its daily and weekly lssns* among the people. We call the attention of political committees in the various counties and districts te this suggestion. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, as a newspaper, commends itself to everyone, irrespective of partisan consideration. No partisan zeal interferes with its comprehensive collection and f*i publication of the news. Its high character as 4 newspaper is universally recognized, and it now rank* with the best newspapers of the country in point es completeness, and promptness and accuracy In dealing with the news of the world. The news features of The Journal for the current year have bean largely increased. Attention is called to the super!** character of the news from the field of its immediate circulation. W T e have special correspondents in all cl the more important towns and cities of Indiana, east* ern Ohio, and central and southern Illinois, and nettling of general interest occurring within these limits is omitted from the columns of The Journal. Its general news Ls not excelled by aay paper. Its Washington service is as fall and reliable, and readable as that of any metropolitan paper anywhere. No paper in the country is served with more comprehensive or accurate report* fran Washington than The Journal. The financial and commercial columns of The JoußNAfc are full aud accurate. The department of railway news is maintained as heretofore. Its local department is written by trained and competent report ers, and can be relied on to give all the news wort* giving, and give it intelligently and candidly. THE SUNDAY JOURNAL Has become the favorite issue of the week. The 6tion printed on that day is specially prepared, and steadily increasing in circulation from week to weak It is sought after with avidity by both readers a mi, shrewd, enterprising advertisers. The literary character of the Sunday Journal is as high as that of aery paper in the United States. Besides the best writer* in this country and in Europe, whose works have appeared. and will continue to appear in its columns. The Journal has introduced to the public msqy writers whose poems and sketches have now a fixed and standard literary character and authority. While drawing upon the best authors of the world for original matter for its columns, THE JOURNAL has bee* and will continue to be specially the medium through which local writers of the best class may find an appreciative audience. The Sunday Journal roach** all points possible to be reached by railway early e* the day of its publication. THE WEEKLY JOURNAL. The Weekly Journal has been enlarged to twalv* pages, making it the largest weekly paper circulating in this territory. The weekly edition is a complete compendium of the news of tie week, with special features of late aud trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial aud agricultural intelligence, carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. and is printed and mailed the morning of th* day on which it is dated. In these respects Th* Weekly Journal is superior to any mere agricall ural paper, for the field it oovers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by th* special press. The sermon of Dr, Taimage will ap pear m The Weekly Journal each week. Soeei* attention is called to the value of Th* WEEKLY Journal from a political point of view. All the political news and editorials on current political qnte tions. giving a full discussion of all Important Issue* to the people, will be found in the columns of Th* Weekly Journal.
