Jasper Republican, Volume 2, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1875 — Page 2

jasper Republican. RENSBELAEH, Ind., Oct. 29, 1875.

Every Republican in the county should subscribe fbr The Jaspex Republican st once. Next year being the Centennial year of the Nation, and it also being the year of a Presidential election, every citizen should take a county paper. In clubs of ten or more we will furnish the Republican from new until the first of January, 1877, for one dollar and twentyfive cents per year.

The cotton crop this year is said to be the largest ever raised. Calico ought to come down. The supreme court of lowa have decided that railway companies are liable for damages caused by a fire from a locomotive. They have a man in Missouri who is at once, journalist, pedagogue and preacher. That comes pretty near “the world, the flesh and the deyil." The Republicans have carried the elections in eight States, this year, while the Democrats have been successful in only four. This is not a bad showing, by any means. The lowa Legislature will stand about as follows: The Senate, forty-eight Republicans to nine Democrats, and the House, eighty Republicans to twenty Democrats. The 11th day of next December is the fifty-ninth anniversary of the admission of the State of Indiana into the Union. It is recommended by the Centennial authorities of the State that that day be specially observed.

It is estimated that the child population between the age of six and sixteen, in the United States and Territories, is about 10,288,000, and that about 300,000 teachers are needed to educate this host of future citizens. Our Democratic exchanges are “juicy” reading just now. They know lightning has struck ’em, but they don’t know just where it came from. The gold fellows shout “we told you so,” and the greenback men swear that the gold fellows didn’t play fair. And thus the chasm yawns. The following has been issued by the Director-General of the National Centennial Commission: Applications for space in the buildings and grounds of the international Exhibition of 1876, must be made prior to October 30th, 1875. This notice does Dot include applications for space fur the exhibition of live stocks and fruits. The manufacturers of Indiana who have thus far neglected making these applications in such numbers as the credit of the State demands, should notice the brief space of time left for them to act, are advised that applications and instructions may be had by addressing Caleb 6. Denny, Secretary, Indianapolis.

A compromising spirit on the finance question is becoming manifest, especially among Republicans. The biter- Ocean asks for no inflation, and the Indianapolis Journal asks for no contraction.— Furthermore the latter would not much object to the repeal of the resumption act so far as it appoints a certain time for such resumption to begin, nor does it seem to care about continuing bank notes, but would as lieve have them give place to greenbacks as the only paper currency. It furthermore admits that paper currency is better than the gold itself, and never can be superseded. We believe the time has come for candid, friendly reasoning on this subject, which Will lead to some agreement as to what the currency should be, and how secured against depreciation ; also how its volume should be rendered less or greater by the varying demand itself.— Valparaiso Vidette.

Since the opening of the Union Pacific railroad and the advent of large numbers of Gentiles, the hold of Brigham Young upon the people of Utah has been gradually loosening, and it now requires the most strenuous efforts upon the part of the priesthood to make the faithful pay up their tithes as in former times. A commingling of sects and the increase of knowledge is always the death blow to superstition and intolerance. So soon as people learn that the salvation cf their souls does not depend upon the amount of money which they pay into the coffers of the church, the reign of the priesthood becomes at once precarious. Knowing this fact and realizing that sooner or later there will come a change, some of the leading Mormons have rebelled against Brighams orders. With this \xample before them, it will not be long until the rank and file will be imbued with the same spirit, which will finally culminate in the downfall of the Mormon church, and with it, that polygamous blot upon our national escutcheon.

... The Board of Education in Chicago, lately, with but a single dissenting vote, discarded the Bible from the public schools of that city. If the Board of Education of Chicago think they did a wise thing in that action, they haven’t wisdom enough to know right from wrong. The result of the elections in Ohio, lowa and Nebraska shows plainly the fact that next year the antagonists of old—the political giants of the past — will again meet in mighty conflict. In ’76 will be witnessed the greatest campaign of the century, which will finally result in the defeat and overthrow of the Democracy and an overwhelming victory for the party of freedom, union and good government. All such rubbish as liberalism, grangerism and independeniism will then be brushed away, or else con - sumed like chaff in the heat of the con - flict. The elections of this fall are but tbe opening skirmish. Let both the federal and confederate camps take warning, heed the note of battle and stand to arms. Let the stragglers, now vainly loitering between the lines, fall in on one side or the other. Remember, that a few months hence there will be no middle ground. You will then have to “dress up” in either the Republican or Dem. ocratic ranks. Which shall it be ?

Railroad.

Railroad matters are assuming an encouraging outlook, and energetic movements are on foot to push the grading forward rapidly until the commencement of winter. Against that time it is believed all the line will be in readiness for the iron from Dyer to the Tippecanoe, or Delphi with exception of two bridges. The piers of the Wabash river bridge are up, and we-understand that the contractor will commence work on the Tippecanoe bridge as soon as the line is graded from the north to Monticello. The prospects for obtaining the iron are excellent, and we understand that Dr. Haymond, President of the road, went to Chicago yesterday to close the contract for the purchase of it, and as soon as this is done, the laying of the track will be commenced and pushed forward rapidly. It is intended that the laying of the track will be commenced simultaneously at two or three different points, and that not more than sixty or eighty days will be required to lay it down from Dyer to Chicago.— An active Superintendent will soon be placed in charge of the whole line, who will give bis personal supervision to the work. The sale of the requisite amount of bonds to complete the road to Delphi is now almost assured, and two weeks more of energetic work among all the friends of the road will insure complete success. We are now deeply in the work, have expended a large amount of money, and there is but one course to pursue and that is to press forward. And that will be done.— Monticello Constitutionalist.

“This is a late fall,” as the old woman said when she tumbled down stairs at eleven o’cluck at night. The following interesting railroad items we clip from the Delphi Times of last week: The prospects for a speedy completion of the I. D. & C. railroad were never more flattering. Some of our businesss men are already parting their hair in the middle and wearing standing collars. We are glad to state that some of our best business men who were heretofore a little “offiish” when talked to about our railroad prospect*, are now taking hold ofthe work with enthusiasm. They talk railroad and give their money freely to help the work along. Hon. W. S. Haymond, President of the C. &S. A. railroad, was in the city last Tuesday He reports the work on the road going on very satisfactoily. The prospect for a speedy completion of the road from this city to Chicago is daily brightening. John H. Gutcbes, contractor on the line of the I. D. & C. Railroad between this eity and Monticello left here on last Wednesday for Rensselaer, to commence grading the ruad for the iron between Rensselaer and Kankakee river. From the latter point cm to the road is already about finished. Look out for good news from that end of the line in a short time, as Mr. Gutches don’t let grass grow on the line of his duty as a contractor.

The malt er of eating is one that forces itself upon man all through life. He may neglect his apparel, his intellect or bw morals, but hu eating—never.

What more can he want m this life ? Of course he must pay fbr these little delicacies his patrons seen "bound that they shall go unsupplied.— Crown Point Register.

THE OLD EWE DUHTOBL THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUCKLESWORTH, has been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17th day of March, 1875, in latitude 41| degrees west longitude from Washington where he had encountered Deacon Tubbs and his Party F and after three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and now have them confined in the l New Brick Building on the South Side'of Washington Street, 1004. one door east of F. J. Sears & Co’s dry goods store. The Deacon and his party made a gallant resistance at the old stand on the north side of the street, but the Major was a little too strong for him and captured him and his suboiglinates, Lieut. Meyer and Will Perigrim. Young Perigrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but young Perigrim, at last accounts, was doing well; he was using RAD WAY’S READY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTE -S for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALESTER’S ALL HEALING SALVE for his wound. It is thought by his nurse that he will recover. • The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, cheering on his men, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr. Harding’s Celebrated Cough Mixture. we are happy to inform the public that he is able to be out again, and at the NEW BRICK STORE compounding Drugs and Medicines, where the Deacon and the Major are found at all times dealing out Medicines to their numerous Customers.
