The acts of the late legislature apportioned to this county, arrived Saturday morning. There is but little of importance to our readers except what has been heretofore noted in these columns. Township assessors now receive 12.50 per day in all townships having a population of less than 5,000,and their deputies $2 per day. This act contained an emergency clause and therefore applies this year. The assessors cannot exceed the time fixed by law for doing the work, and shall receive no extra pay whatever. It would seem that this would cut off the “family graft” herefore worked in many of the townships in this county.
When in Chicago laßt Saturday the editor had occasion to purchase for office use, two Faber’s 18inch\hardwood, brass bound rulers, at one of the big department stores, paying 15 cents each for them, the regular retail price. Under Abe’s beneficient reign of practically keeping us out of bidding on the stationery supplies, Jasper county is paying 75 cents eaoh for these same rulers. With a board of county commissioners who would grant us any sort of fair treatment at all, and not force us to go into court to collect our pay in almost every case, we could and would put in bids on the stationery supplies here and could save the county SI,OOO per year, either by getting the contract or forcing the stationery oombine to come down to a reasonable price. This is no idle boast. On one class, three years ago, we put in a bid, and while we did not get the contract, it was done for SIOB, when the year previous the county was compelled to pay $395 for the same work. This is a matter of public record and therefore cannot be denied. But, this is one of the penalties the people of a monarchial county government must pay.
The Democrat can only reiterate its “libelous” (?) statement of two weeks ago, that Abraham Halleck, president of the board of county commissioners of the great county Jasper, is execution proof and not financially responsible for a nickel. If you cannot collect a dollar from a man—because of his being execution proof —you cannot collect a nickel. True, people do not usually elect men of such financial irresponsibility to manage their (the people’s) affairs, and most people would naturally infer that a county commissioner was a man of good financial standing and repute —the office should, and usually does, carry credit and financial standing with it. In the case of commissioner Halleck, however, such ideas would be erroneous, for upwards of twenty judgments—unsatisfied judgments—taken during the past ten years, one as late as February, 1903, appear on the circuit court judgment dockets in i this county. The above statements are libelous were they not true, but, if an editor has positive proof that Smith murdered Jones, it is no crime whatever to state that fact and call Smith a murderer, in plain English, and when we say that Abraham Halleok, the president of the board of county commissioners of Jasper county is not financially responsible fora -nickel—or a penny even—and is
is Considered judgment and execution proof, we know precisely whereof we speak.
Probably no newspaper editor in Indiana ever received a more general sooring from the press of this state than has Bro. Marshall in his action toward swearing The Democrat man out his honest dues for various publio printing bills in this county. The animos behind the whole matter was so apparant and his evidence so ridiculous that the scoring he has received has been confined to no particular party papers. In fact, papers of his own political faith have probably been most severe in their condemnation of such methods of treating a business competitor. So general has this criticism been that the Republican editor has been kept pretty busy for some time in penning vile, scurrilous and libelous replies. In one of his late diatribes he accuses one of these editors—who by the way was a witness in a case here some two years ago where the legality of a claim of The Democrat’s was in question —with being drunk at that time, and says “he ought to have been fired out of the witness box as a drunk and incompetent, that time, just as a companion of his was, who made the rounds of the saloons with him.” Now we have a distinct recollection of this gentleman and known that he was no more drunk than was the Republican editor, and in fact his testimony was much more lucid than “His Whiskers” —the Republican man. Neither was any witness fired out of the witness box at any time during that trial, as a “drunk and incompetent,” or for any other cause, and the Republican man well knows that his statement is false as false can be. It is probably not very pleasant to be roasted right and left by his newspaper brethern, and of his own party, too, but when a man sinks so low in the moral plane a 6 to adopt the taotics of the bewhiskered editors of the twin republican organs—the Republican and the Barnacle —to do up a competitor, they must expect that the broad-minded brethern of- the press will have something to say about such a mean, narrow, partisan policy, and should quietly sneak into their holes and pull the hole in after them.
Resolutions Passed At The Farmers’ Institute, January 16*17, >903. [The following resolution!, through some mistake, were not handed in for publication at the close of the session; and it is at special request that the same are now published.] Whereas, Under our present system of supplying speakers and fixing dates for County Institute, it is impossible many times to meet the requirement necessary to obtain the best results, therefore, be it Resolved, That we are in favor of the State Superintendent appropriating to each county one hundred dollars ($100) each year, the amount of their pro-rata share as designated by the last Legislature, for the purpose of holding institute, and that each county organization fix the time and place, that the institute be held and secure it’s own speakers and and pay the same with all other expenses of the institute out of the appropriation; that any county failing to hold an institute or employ one or more suitable foreign speakers shall forfeit the appropriation; that we extend our sincere thanks to Mr. D. B. Johnson and Mrs. J. C. Erwin for the faithful performance of their duties as representative speakers of the State, and that we welcome their return at any time, when the State or their own personal convenience may dictate. We also extend our thanks to Miss Ora Duvall for the music furnished on this occassion and to all who have taken part in this institute. L. STRONG l B. D.

Columbus, 0., April 22.

tion to speak about the national Civic Federation and Its work, but he took occasion also to reply to the recent annual address at the New Orleans convention of President Parry, of the American Association qt Manufacturers. Opens tip on Hr. Parry, Hanna gave the history of the Civic Federation and of bis connection therewith, eulogized conciliation and arbitration, and then went on: “There are many who criticise, many unbelievers and doubters as to the fruition of this great question. » * * They do not know the workings of it. [Long continued applause.] As an evidence of that, with your permission, I want to allude to the recent utterances of the president of an organization known as the Manufacturers’ association.[Great applause.] I have nothing personal against Parry. I have the highest respect for that organization because I know a great deal of Its personnel and I know that it is composed of liberal, high-minded men.” Quo!** Soma of Parry'* Saying*. He then quoted Parry as follows: “Organized labor knows but one law and that is the law of physical force —the law of the Huns and Vandals, the law of the savage. All its purposes are accomplished either by actual force or by the threat of force.” “That is not true.” [Long continued applause and cries of “good"]. Then he read again: “Once thoroughly alive to the true nature of this un-American institution of organized labor as at present conducted the people, I firmly* believe, will place their stamp of disapproval upon it and it will dwindle in power faster than it grew.” “We will see. [Long continued applause and laughter]. Labor Union* Coming Into Favor. Hanna then declared that he knew that the majority of the men in business were favorable to organized labor and growing more so. He continued to read extracts from Parry’s speech,each of which he contradicted or controverted, and made a long argument to prove that Parry was wrong all through bis remarks. Hanna was loudly and enthusiastically applauded all through bis speech, and it was near midnight when he closed amid a roar of applause.
PARRY REPLIES TO THE UNION.
Says He Has no Concern as to Wbat Organised Labor May Do to Him. Chicago, April 20. The Chicago Federation of Labor baa adopted a resolution recommending that the American Federation of Labor invade the state of Indiana with 100 organizers and with SIOO,OOO to “build a bulwark of rebuke around D. M. Parry, president of the National Manufacturers’ association.” Indianapolis, April 22.— The attention of David M. Parry, of the National Manufacturers association, was called to the fact that the Chicago Federation of Labor bad passed resolutions recommending that the American Federation of Labor invade Indiana to “build a bulwark of rebuke” around Parry. ‘That would be very unjust to the Indiana manufacturers,” said Parry, “some of whom may not share fully my views. That is just what 1 have been referring to as ‘brute force.’ It is that tendency of organized labor to insist that every one think as it does or crush him oat that la its most obnoxious feature. “As for what the federation may do, I personally do not have any great concern. I have never had to ask an applicant if be was a union man or not I have always believed each workman a aid maintain his own individuality, bold to this belief.”
