REPUBLICAN CURRENCY REFORM.

I want to ask the Republicans of your county why their speakers and papers are not discussing their proposed legislation to “reform the currency.” Their pis tfore declares far “comprehensive legislation” in this direction and the people am entitled to know what that means. This phrase, like that of “sound behind which the gold redeaiptinwist has so long masked himself, has a certain definite meaning to the leaders, and the people should also understand it. Shortly after the election of President McKinley there met in Indianapolis a convention at men calling themselves a “Jion-Pitrtisan Monetary convention.” The announced object of this association was to inaugurate a “comprehensive reform ot our currency. ” A committee was appointed to prepare a bill to pass nongrrse which would effect this reform. In January, 1886, the convention assembled again at Indianapolis to hear and act upon the report of the committee. It was called “non-parti-san.” bat not a Populist, Silver Republican or Democrat was invited. It was called a “business men’s’ convention, bat the delegates were selected by the tamks and boards of trade of the various cities, and not a laboring man or farmer was there. The committee reported a bill to reform the currency and Jesse Overstreet, a Republican congressman from Indiana, was intrusted with introducing it in congress. This bill, known as the Overstreet bill, was introduced in the house as lull No. 5,855, and was referred to the committee on hanking and currency. The executive committee of the Indianapolis convention headed by E E Hanna, and composed of wealthy and influential men, were directed to attend the last session of congress and see that the ten became a law. On Jane 15, 1886, the boose committee reported the measure in a slightly modified farm, but under the changes it was reported as house bill No. 10,289, and is known as the Hili-Powler NIL Mr. Hanna, chairman ot the lobby committee appointed by the Indianapolis convention, announces in an open letter that the changes are immaterial and that the measure reported by the house committee provides the desired “comprehensive reform” of the currency. He says, that the tell would have passed had the war not engrossed congressional attention, aad declares that if the friends of “sound” money (Republicans) secure control at the «nuing congress this bill |Nc lajW) will become a law. It is apparent then, that by “oomprebeastve monetary legislation.” the Repahhraw leaders mean this measure, or one of similar impart. The very expreunaa is taken team the Indianapolis “limn warn men’s” convention. And bemdes, the action at the test house foreshadows the intention of the next. The banking and currency committee of the honee, that reported favorably on the act. represent the Republican majority in that honae and upon measures of this kind are rightfully sap posed {9 reflect the purpose of the party in power- Mr. Hanna says, in his open letter, “a careful poll of the house shows that the friends of sound money wi£ support the measure. ” Now. why did t£«y not briefly state the purpose aad effect _of this bill in their ptetfnsm. instead of making an unctuousdeclaration for “enlightened and cocapaaaeoatve monetary legislatkar Wfly do they not discuss it ttami 1 will tell you: It is because they dare not go before the people with n fnnk statement of their purpose or a fair discussion of their policies. They propose by this measure to make our cawed silver dollars, which are today standard, irredeemable, and full legal tender dollars, redeemable in gold; thus contracting oar volume of standard money, adding to the burden on gold and increasing its exchange value, and reducing our silver to the condition of currency on mere promise* to pay gold. They propose to withdraw from use and destroy all the greenbacks and govimnaane by national banks of their currency to taka its phot. In other words, the government is to withdraw its paper money in oader that the national banks may xssne bank note currency, loan it at the annul rates to their immense profit aad contract and enlarge the volume in use from time to time aa they issues of this pabaa Jilteresponsibility.far thtejttebja tha policy mannUntheir foe government »*p» money, back currency that them deny it or it. teat iatrodnoad in the house on ourreacy reform by Republican members.

THE MENICUS LENSES.

The particular advantage these Menicus lenses possess are that they give much more correct secondary axes and when adjusted to the eye yield more perfect vision through the periphery of the lens, rendering the field of vision much larger and more distant. The above is a scientific faet. If you want a pair of these lenses of the best material in the world, correctly adjusted to your vision, notify, or call on Dr. Chas. Vick, the Optician, Rensselaer, Ind.

Mr. Hovey is n thorough business man and is

contemplating the erection of a 15.000 bushel capacity grain elevator here. This in connection with the many miles of gravel road now being constructed, will greatly improve the town. —The yield of corn in this part of the earth bids fair to eel pse all other years in quality and quantity.

This mill be a fair estimate, also enough to make any fanner’s heart glad. —A remarkable interest is bepsg shown, by the farmers here, in gravel roads. The work is done by donation, also land tax. A road of this kind is being bnilt from Prior Rowan's to Simon Kenton's, there being a half mile already completed. A road of the same description is being constructed east of Parr. The abundance of gravel in this county is convincing evidence that the people should not have to draw their loads through mud a foot deep. The only thing necessary for the construction of good pikes, is a willingness. A very few township trustees will refuse to pay for the gravel.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our regular correspondent. 1 That investigation commission promises to do some investigating this week; it has done nothing yet but get ready, except to abandon the idea of star chamber sessions, and agree to have the Press Associations represented at all sessions \vhe_re testimony is taken. * * * Although Gen. Joe Wheeler has been offered command of all the cavalry that will go to Cuba with the army of occupation, there are reasons for believing that he will not go to Cuba, unless there is a hitch in negotiating the treaty of Peace at Paris. A close friend of Gen. Wheeler says he will resign his commission and resume his Congressional duties, as soon as the treaty of Peace is signed; he lias no hankering after the command of a mounted police force, in Cuba or elsewhere, and that is about all our cavalry will be after the treaty of peace becomes an accomplished fact. • * ,* Not being admitted to Boss Platt's confidence I cannot vouch for its correctness, but there has been a lot of talk around Washington to the effect that Teddy Roosevelt was nominated for Governor with the deliberate intention of ending his political career by getting him badly defeated, and that he is to be traded for legislative votes wherever to do so will increase the chance of electing a republican member of the legislature. According to this talk, Mr. McKinley and Boss Platt are acting together in this scheme to get rid of “Teddy” and at the same time elect a legislature that will send a republican successor to Senator Murphy. Democratic advices indicate very strongly that the democrats will control the legislature as well as elect the entire state ticket- They say they can beat Roosevelt without any assistance from Piatt, and his knifers. • * * Gen. Lee, who was ordered to Washington last week has gone to West Point to visit his son, who is a cadet there, but will return to Washington in a few days. Republican influence is being brought to bear upon the administration to cause it to give General Lee only a subordinate command in the Cuban army of occupation, instead of command of the entire army. It was to sound nim, in order to find out how far he would

allow himself to be poshed into the background without tendering his resignation that he was sent j for. General Lee’s admirers hope if he is tendered anything less ! than commnad of that division of the army of occupation that will have Havana for its headquarters, he will tender his resignation and leave the army at once. ‘lf he gets less than that, a very positive promise will be violated,*bnt that happens frequently in Washington. Some idea of the panic existing in administration circles, on account of the prospect of republican defeat in the congressional campaign, may be had from Boss Hanna's estimate, after going over all the information in the possession of the republican congressional committee that it would require a campaign fond of §2,000,0CX) to elect a republican majority of the next house. Hanna is chairman of the national committee, and under ordinary conditions, would have nothing to do with the congressional campaign. But existing conditions are not ordinary. On the contrarc. they are extraordinary. from Air. AlcKinley’s point of view. Chairman Babcock, of the

congressional committee, told Air. AlcKinley that he considered the fight already lost. Then Hanna was telegraphed for. asked if he could save the House for his party. He decided that it would take $2,000,000 to do it. and made out a list of men that must pnt up that amount. They are the same men who furnished him the money he used so lavishly two years ago. anti already they are l»eing personally waited npon and made to come down again, some of them by Hanna himself and oth€*rs by his agents. ♦ * Col. W. J. Bryan, who has been confined to his bed by an attack of malaria, is now much better, and expects to return to his regiment after a short stay in the Virginia mountains. None of the many attentions paid C’ol, Bryan daring his stay in Washington, gave him more pleasure than a magnificent basket of roses from the executive committee of the Alaryland democratic association, accompanied by a communication from which the following is quoted: "The executive committee of the Alaryland democratic association deem it a privilege and a pleasure to present this basket of flowers to Col. W. J. Bryan, as a token of their respect, love, and esteem for him who. more than any man living, stands as the personification of the most vital issue affecting the welfare of all the people of our nation anl of the world. The intelligent, aggressive and disinterested advocacy of the cause of the plain people that marked your entrance into public life at once awakened a response in the hearts of your countryman, and singled yon out as an object of their affection. Your steadfast devotion to principle, year untiring zeal in the cause of the people and the recognition by them of yoar rare talents, combined to make you their chosen leader in their contest for deliverance from the evils that are threatening the overthrow of the republican institutions and the establishment of a plutocracy to rule and plunder under forms of law.”

PROSPERITY ITEM.

Hon. AY. L. Taylor in his speech here Wednesday night told his audience how prosperous they were I under th benificent Diugley bill and the AlcKinley administration. As October is generally conceded |tobe a month when people are paying off their obligations rather than contracting new ones, we decided to just how the people (of Jasper were prospering, and walked over to the county reeordr’s office to find onL During the first j six days of the present month (in- | eluding Sunday) there were placed on record 9 real estate mortgages aggregating $11,659.28 were placed on record; 10 chattel mortgages aggregating $7,584.33; 1 mechanics’ lein on Remington property for $35.08; 1 mechanics’ lein on Rensselaer property for $28.56. making a total of $19,307.24, or an average of almost $4,000 per day for the five working days. During the same period 4 releases aggregating $1,500 were recorded. Thus we had Jasper county people are paying off mortgages at the rate of S3OO per day ana giving them at the rate of $4,000 per day. Ring organs please copy.

On Wednesday morning Mr. Frank Hershman, of Walker tp. f Jasper county, hitched up his team of horses to a wagon to drive to John Hershman’s to get a road scraper. To please his children and give them a ride he took three of them with him. His daughter, 8 years old, holding her 1 year old brother in her lap, was sitting on the spring seat while the third child was in the wagon box. Frank got the scraper and on his return home he stopped at the house of John Stalbaum, when suddenly the horses got scared and started with the wagon containing the children, down the road at breakneck speed. They ran about one hundred yards when the front wheels struck a tree, the horses broke loose and continued on their wild career, while the children on the seat were thrown forcibly to the ground, the baby breaking a leg and the girl was picked up for dead. Upon examination it was found that she was seriously injured, one eye being swollen to an enormous size and blood flowing from her ears. The child in the wagon escaped unhurt, Dr. H. G. Jones, who was called, reduced the fractured limb of the baby and tells us that there is hope of the girl's recovery and that the eye may possibly be saved.—Medaryville Advertiser.

Burnham, and in default of four hundred dollar bond the defendant languished in jail until Wednesday, when his father came to his relief.
