What Benefit Will It Be? Thq Gifford railroad—this is no personal matter, but a real live public question to be settled at the ballot box. Will this proposed road be of any lasting material benefit to the four townships interested? is the burning question of the hour. For one I cannot see where this road is going to give us any better railroad accommodations than we now already have. One end of this route, it is said, is at Chicago the other, perhaps, at Danville, 111. It can riot possibly give us any shorter or quicker route to Chicago than we now have, and as for Danville, there can never be any common . interests between us and the people of that city, that will cause the need of a special railroad line between here and there. If Mr. Gifford’s road was “straight goods,’’a connecting link, a short route between two important points, it would surely strike our people much more favorably than it does. It is our humble opinion that half the money asked for by this railroad, if spent on gravel roads, would be of far more benefit to us than the railroad would ever be. Gravel or macadamized road building has but merely commenced in this country. The period of horseless vehicles is just beginning to dawn and for the next decade or two it is going to be country roads that will demand the people’s money and time, not railroads. Then let’s save our means for the improvement of the common, public highway. Let’s spend our money for home comforts and conveniences and let railroads go where traffic and trade are sufficient to induce capital to build them, Marion Tp. Rensselaer, June 26, 1900.

All Honor to Nelson Morris.

Demotte, Ind., June 28. Because Nelson Morris refuses to quietly submit to being sandbagged by the republican gang, the editor of the Rensselaer Republican attempts to ridicule and abuse him. We have no doubt Mr. Morris would have gladly paid his share of tax for the Keener tp., gravel road improvement had it been made, but like most other people he objects to being “held up” and made to pay for something he did not get. Would that we had a few more Nelson Moris’s to get after the rascally gang that has been plundering the taxpayers of Jasper County for years, and I think the people of this township owe Mr. Morris a vote of thanks for stepping in and doing whati many of us would have done had we felt able to cope with those who had the count}' treasury at their back to draw on for funds to fight us from gaining our rights in court. Mr. Morris has taken up the “poor man’s burden’’ by bringing this suit and all the abuse and venom the gang organ can heap upon him will but add to the good will we feel toward him for going after the leeches who want us to pay for 16 miles of road and only give us about 10 or 11 miles

in return.

The Party of Falee Pretense.

The republican party has always posed as the champion of “an honest ballot and a fair count.” Anyone who has cared to know, has known for years that this pretense was false. The presidential campaign of 1888, with its Dudley “blocks-of-five,” the campaign of i 1896 with its bull-dozing, intimiI dation, false pretenses and black- ' listing, ought to convince any one. however dull of the hollowness of any such pretense. The most damning evidence, however, is found in their shameless criminal record in Indiana. The disgraceful mob who assembled at Indianapolis in January, 1897, commenced .making arrangements for the most corrupt election in 1900 that has ever disgraced the history of IndiI ana. The pencil was substituted for the stamp by this mob for no other reason than that by making an X with a pencil the mark would show through the ballot and give sure evidence that a purchased voter had “delivered the goods.” The disgiaceful lot who assembled there in 1899 completed his record of infamy by repealing ALL LAWS MAKING IT A CRIME TO PURCHASE VOTES. Who can read this infamous history without coming to the conclusion that these damnable acts were premed- 1 I itated? were deliberately, methodically planned for no other pur- 1 pose than to make doubly sure i that Mark Hanna methods might] be used in all their fullness in the ’ election of 1900? Already an example hasoccured under our immediate notice. The county seat election in Newton county is an excellent example of what may be expected in Novem-'

__ ber. Fraud ran riot everywhere. Knowing that there was no restraint on buying votes, every heeler turned himself loose. An eye witness says that two men passed by he and and a prominent Kentland attorney, going to the polls. “Those men are from Illjnois, and have no more right to vote here than you have,” the attorney is reported to have remarked. This is one of scores of instances from that county, and is but a mild fore-runner of what may be looked for in November. * * * Rensselaer, June 25.

Common Council.

The regular meeting of the city council was held Monday evening, with the members all present including the mayor. Lee Jessup petitioned for the construction of a sidewalk on Oak street from the southwest corner of lot 10, block 9, to Main street, matter was referred to committee on sidewalks. C. W. Coen and other property owners on Cullen and Forrest streets, filed a petition for the improvement of said streets for the construction of a macadam road-, way; matter was referred to street committee. The city committee were directed to meet on July 16, and make an examination in regard to the seven foot strip on the north side of Clark street, with the intent to condemn the strip for sidewalk purposes. The superintendent of the Water and Light plant reported having collected $32.43 in full for June delinquencies. He also filed an estimate showing that the cost of installation of the tire hydrant at the intersection of Vine and Jefferson street would be $338, on motion the matter was laid on the table. An ordinance was introduced and adopted which provides that contractors for the construction of sidewalks, crossings and sewers shall be required to tile bonds to guarantee their work. The cemetery trustees reported a plat of three additional lots out of a strip of ground recently acquired from Thos. H. Robinson. Edward D. Rhoades was reelected as a member of the board of trustees of Weston cemetery. A committee consisting of couucilmen McColly, Eger and Porter, were authorized to purchase a lot for a site for a hose-cart house near the depot. The committee appointed at the last meeting to adjust the claim of Mrs. Ira Norris, tiled their report showing that a compromise had been affected by payment of S2OO, and half of her doctor bill, amountin all to $218.50, This was a claim on account of personal injuries received by a fall on a defective sidewalk. A new cement sidewalk along the south side of Harrison street from Cullen to Van Rensselaer street, was ordered. The following claims were allowed :

Price died at the home of her mother four miles west of Remington ore Tuesday evening, June 19, 1900. She was the daughter of the late W. B. Price and the family has resided in this county since 1867. Miss Price was born in Solon, Ohio, December 15, 1853. She graduated at the Ohio WesleyanUniversity at Delaware, Ohio, in 1876 with the honors of her class and since that time ha» been continuously engaged in school work. She taught in the Goodland and Rensselaer schools and in a number of the district schools of this county. For the past seventeen years she has been engaged as Principal of the normal department in the Alabama State Normal Collegeat Montgomery, where she was next in authority to the President of the University. For a number of years her duties and responsibilities have been far reaching but she gave her life to her work with a zeal and earnestness entirely out of proportion to her strength. Miss Price was a woman of fine literary attainments and passionately fond or books. The race for whom the best efforts of her life were given have for years been the recipients of her deeds of kindness and acts of charity, and in contemplating the good accomplished -he found her chief delight. Miss Price left her post of duty only the week before her death, worn and broken in health, but bfnve and gentle in spirit, and joined her people at the old home with the hand of death already upon her. She was a great student .of nature and in every bird, leaf and flower she saw the handiwork of God and the gentleness of love. She united with the M . E. church in Remington when a girl and has ever since interested herself in church work, though in the later years of her life, the practical side of Christianity has appealed to her most strongly, the one rule of her pure life was to judge people by work performed and good accomplished. Sue leaves an aged and sorrowing mother, one sister and five devoted brothers to mourn the loss of a loving, sympathetic sister, her father and brother Will having preceeded her to the spirit world a few years ago. Funeral services were held at the home Friday morning, June 22. at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Mathews, pastor of the M. E. church, and were very largely attended. Interment was made at the Remington cemetery beside the father.
