The town elections will take place Monday. It is announced that the stork will again visit the home of expresident Cleveland. Thus Teddy’s race suicide views are being repudiated on every hand. , Yes, at this writing there are still upwards of twenty unsatisfied judgments, amounting to thousands of dollars, upon the judgment dockets of Jasper county and against Abraham Halleck, president of the board of commissioners of this county. Jtis not to be wondered that General Nelson A. Miles is losing caste with the g. o. p. In his report on conditions in the Philippines he says that there have been numerous outrages committed by soldiers acting under command of their superior officers, and that the abolishment of the army “canteen” or government whiskey shop, has been beneficial to the army. The “canteen” has been the special pet hobby of the politicians and many of the army officers, who, no doubt, were among itß best customers in a quiet way, and they will not take kindly to Gen. Miles’ remarks concerning its abolishment. A party of forty-six German agriculturists will arrive in New York the first week in May and will make a 10,000 mile tour of the United States studying the agricultural methods of this country. The expected visitors are members of an “up-to-date” German agricultural society whose members make an annual excursion to some foreign country with a view to learning improved methods and being able to estimate the competition which confronts them in the various departments of agriculture. The party will be accompained in this country by representavies of the Department of Agriculture who will afford them every assistance in seeing the country. They will first visit the northwest, then go on to the Pacific slope and return through the southwest section of the country.

AS TO “HONEST ABE.”

The people of Jasper county ha d a striking object lesson of “Honest Abe’s” enmity and the lengths to which he would carry his personal animos—at county expense, of course—in the street improvements about the public square. The contraot was let by the city, it will be remembered, to parties whom Abe had a personal spite against, and he kicked continually from the time the improvement was let until it was paid for. First, the bedding material was not thick enough ? The brick were no good!. (And finally the brick makers offered to pay the expense of the county commissioners visiting their plant and other towns where these brick were being used and seeing for themselves that they were the same as other cities used, and were of good quality. And they did pay the expenses, and the commissioners went on this junketing trip, and we were told on their return that Abe was so afraid he would be convinced that be wouldn't go in the briok-mak* ing plant at all.)

Then the work of laying the brick was not done right, although an expert brick street layer was employed from South Bend to superintend the work. Then Abe took the j matter into court to resist payment, and as soon as the judge—a Hammond gentleman, and therefore unprejudiced —got to hear something of the case he unceremoniously dumped Abe and his weak-spined cohorts out of the court room window, figuratively speaking. Then it was that “Sim the cattle dealer” —who never had an idea on public matters except as he absorbed it from Abe—made his brags, so we are told, that they (Abe and Sim) could hold up the pay. And this was done for several months, by continuing the claim from term to term, and it was not until Way mire and Denham, strange as it may appear, took the bit in their teeth and allowed the claim that the contractors got their pay. But during all the time this claim was being “continued” by Abe, the county was paying interest on the same, and the total extra oost occasioned by this uncalled for an contemptible piece of spite work to the tax-payers of the oounty, was about S2OO. When nothing further could be done in the way of irritating and troubling the contractors at county expense, then Abe is alleged to have said, to justify his position, “You’ll see! Wait until next spring; when that brick street goes through a freezing winter it will be all hills and hollows.” Yet two winters have passed and the brick streets are in excellent condition. The above is a fair illustration of the methods used by this man to punish his enemies while he has been a commissioner of this county. All his attacks and beratings of The Democrat man, the cutting of our bills, etc., could have arisen only from pure- spite and cussedness. His contention that the bill for ballot printing was cut because the council had appropriated a lesser sum, is not honest, for we have shown heretofore that at the same session in which he cut our claim he allowed the sheriff sl4l for services when but S4O had been appropriated! Had he applied the rule used on The Demoorat man to others there might be some justice in his present contention. But he did not do this nor never has, except as it suited his purpose, at any time since the county council law has been in operation. Abe is smooth, but his actions will not bear the light of truth and justice. A large number of the best men of his political associates have discredited him and openly refused to support him for office, while the support given him was of the half-hearted sort and the fear that the henchman he does control would slaughter the whole ticket if Abe was not carried through.

“A man living on a farm near here came in a abort time ago completely doubled up with rheumatism. I banded him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balin and told him to uae it freely and if not satisfied after using it be need not pay a cent for it,” aaya C. P. Rayder of Pattens Mills, N.Y. “A few days later he walked Into the store as straight as a string and handed me a dollar saying, ‘give me another bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. 1 want it in the house all the time for it cored me."

WHOLESALE DISREGARD FOR LAW AND RKHIT.

A bubch of gentlemen over in Pennsylvania have been violating their state constitution and the Sherman anti-trust law of the United States for yean. They are "the Christain men to whom God in his divine wisdom has intrusted the property interests of the country.” Last winter it cost the people of the United States ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS(SIOO,000,000) more for fuel than it would have cost them if the law had been enforced. The law was not enforced because the Government is in the hands of a political party that believes in robbery. This party believes that robbery is business; that robbery promotes prosperity; that robbery is good for the people, and that the people don’t know any better. Any newspaper that is so foolish as to combat tots idea of theirs is -a “yellow journal," and individuals pursuing the same lines are refen ed to as demagogues. The champion demagogue (so-called) and the publisher of the three greatest newspapers (yellow journals, so-called) in America, Mr. W. R. Hearst, in behalf of the people of the United States, has undertaken the task of smashing this coal trust. This is what he says: “The Hearst newspapers' war upon the coal trust in the interests of the people did not end with the miners’ strike. Either it will be demonstrated that the law's arm is not long enough to reach the coal trust or the coal trust will be smashed. Mr, Baer and the other monopolists conspiring with him are lawbreakers and criminals. For six months the Hearst newspapers have been endeavoring to reach them with the law. Though it should take six years, THESE NEWSPAPERS WILL REACH them. The pillagers of the community, criminals in the eye of the law, need not hope to escape. This newspaper does not enter lightly upon its battles, nor does it grow tired and abandon them when once begun. They may as well make up their minds that the Hearst newspapers are not to be shaken off.” A great majority of the voters of this county vote the way this coal trust wants them to vote, and a great many of them revile, persecute and say harsh things about Hearst. , The time will probably come, however, when the common people will realize that Hearst is the friend of the common people, yet there are lots of people in this country that are so politically hidebound and so microscopically narrowminded that they would kick a man for pulling them out of the river. Mr. Hearst is not an anarchist, nor does he advocate anarchy, and those that say he does are of the above described species. The anarchy and disrespect for law is on the other side, A bunch of gentlemen over in Illinois thought they would pass a certain bill through the house of representatives the other day. These gentlemen wanted some amendments added to the bill, and one of them moved that amendment number one be adopted. He was seconded by another gentleman; the motion was put, a few members voting “aye” while an overwhelming majority voted “no.” in spite of the defeat, the speaker of the house arbitrarily declared the motion carried. Then the opposite side, numbering about ninety members, demanded a roll-call. The constitution of Illinois explicitly provides that a roll-call shall be granted on request of five members. The speaker denied this request a half dozen times and a not resulted in which the speaker had to flee for safety, and another man was chosen in his place. Business was then resumed, and the obnoxious law and its amendments was knocked out. This speaker and his coterie of puppets whose politics, by the way, are well known, attempted to insult the sovereign law of their state once too often, and the opposition, which included a great many men of his own political faith, smashed them. This insult was not anarchy, however, being the work a Republican machine." Disregard for law and right is chronic over at St. Louis, Missouri, and at other prominent places, including Jasper county, Indiana. But this condition rarely exists without some relieving feature. Generally speaking, wherever wrong prevails there is some one ready to make a fight for the right. Over in Jasper county a bunch gentlemen, consisting mostly of one gentleman, thought they would cut a bill for printing because the printer was a democrat. This was the sole reason, because if he hadn't been a democrat, the gentleman would probably have doubled the bill and thought he got ’em cheap. He hasn't cut the bill yet, but he has done worse; he has sued this man for libel, a very grave offense, since the man told the exact truth and can prove every word of it. The democrats of Jasper'didn’t elect this gentleman, but they feel the effect of his elephantine blunders when they settle witn the tax collector just the same as if they had. We should not like to see this gentleman get much more rope, for he is liable to banghimself and then sue the county for damages.
