L l . ,tV .111 '"fcll'ft""" FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1889. fertared at ta t'MtoMc i 4jar l4Wa, for rM mkN (hrooftti the mmil a en4-UM TO BUSINESS INVESTORS. Come to Jasper. To honest, industrious men, or wen of capital, seeking a locatiou to estauiisn themselves in business we wish to whisper that Jasper presents superior inducements. It is a town of about 1,900 inhabitant, surrounded by a line agricultural rountry, which ships annually hundreds of chi's of agricultural products conaeaueutlv subsistence is cheap. It is under laid with a fine quality o( semi-block coal, easily mined by drilling into any of the hills surrounding it. 1'or steam purposes the pea coal from these mines is delivered anywhere in the town at fifty cents a ton, and in practically inexhaustible, lump coal in fur ulshed in the coal house or bin, at nnv place in town, at from 91.30 to 1 75 a ton, according Jto quantity doMred. The county gets its coul delivered for mo in the court house aud jail at $1,183 a ton. It is surrounded by a fine body of timber, of all kinds indigenous to the latitude. Patoka river skirts the south and cast sides of the town, and furnishes a never failing supply of water for manufactories along its banks. Good soft water is obtained in abundance lor domestic uses any place in the town at a depth ot from 20 to 30 feet. A line quality of good building gray pand-slone is quarried near the town This stone has demonstrated its excellence by standing good for over 50 years the severe test of freezes and thaws in the pier of a bridge across Patoka river. House patterns of good brick arc dlivei ed at f 5 toj5 50 per 1,000, and smaller quantities at a slight advance, aud building lumber, rough, at $15 per 1,000 feet ; surfaced and seasoned at f 120 to $30 per 1,000, as to quality. The community is a liberal and intelligent one; with handsome and commodious Catholic aud Methodist churches, and good public schools, and citizens, without exception, heartily welcome all new business enterprises. It is the northern terminous of the J.isper and Evansville division of the L , E. & St. L. Ry. aud has three trains each way per day. The towu has IS manufacturing establishments using steam power, embracing 2 steam flour mills, 2 planing mills, 1 .saw mills, 1 spoke factory, 1 stave aud shingle factory, 1 furniture factory, 1 brewery, 1 machine shop, 4 wagon factories, and 2 brick-yards, which did a business last year aggregating over 275,000. It has three large well-stocked dry goods aud general stores, and 3 smaller ones, 4 grocery stores, none of them extensive, 4 confectionaries, 3 shoe shops, a good photograph gallery, 2 book stores, 3 drug stores, 4 hotels, 2 printing offices, 1 state bank, 2 livery stables, and several other branches of business, all doing well, and 2 building associations of $100,000 and $50,000 capital respectively. To persons who are seeking an investment for capital in manufacturing enterprises of any kind, and have skill and industry to apply to their business, Jasper presents rare inducements, and her citizens will extend a hearty welcome. Among the branches of business which ought to be established here and would certainly pay, are a woolen mill, a small foundry, a large fruit connery, la good buster, and cheese dairy, a tiling factory, a handle factory, a good broom factory, a good pottery, a general produce dealer, who would pay cash for farm produce of all kinds in any quantity; another aour mill might possibly be made to pay, also, as over 50,000 bushels of wheat were shipped from Jasper last year which it seems to us might have been made into flour here with profit, and the manufactured products shipped. It is probable, too, that a merchant with sufficient capital to carry a good stock of any single line of goods, would be able by his larger assortment of that line, and consequent lower purchases, to secure enough trade from the general stores abounding in the country to make it profitable but this would be an experiment, while the othors may bo counted as certainties. At alt events, if you are seeking a location, come and be one of us. 93"The local option liquor question was introduced into the Legislature by Republican Uopresentative Brown, on Tuesday, aud promptly laid on the table by the Democrats, as being unconstitutional. However, John Nugent and Jake Covert, Republicans from Evansville, who had duriug the campaign before election promised saloon keepers they would vote against local option and high license, both voted with their party for local option, but next morning Nugent got permission to change his vote, and did so, hut as Covert expects Harrison io reward mm with the Kvanav n nnst office he refused to change his vote-the x'osi umce being a better thing than lie coma expect from the Republicans of iiivansvllle. Senator Alford has introduced a nrn hlbltioti amendment to the constitution, but it will hardly be considered, let alone adopted. lu our opinion the Legislature should leave the liquor question severely alone, unui puunc opinion will justify the enloroement generally of the present laws uu in m suoject. juiwin Vallandlghan, and John M.

iltrlHe oi maidenly beauty near Lebanon church, on last Sunday night, John PeMolte, an influential farmer of lloone township, has recently Uu1hi m! Against the rum power, aud will won join his fortune with the Prohibition party, Mat. Tilman has joined the Wilson & Holder Pnarmacy, and will soon cum mence a series of lecture. Let every body turn out aud hear him. we were glad to hear from Rake again. He 6eeme to take great delight in pointing out tne errors or others tor tlie sole purpose of criticism. He Hits himself up lor a great critip, possessed ot profound wisdom and learning : only too glad for an opportunity to parade hit wonderful knowledge and to exhibt to the readers of the Argus what a brilliant intellect he is possessed of, aud to the people, how little they know by com parison. Indeed he has come to think himself a great writer, a grand philosopher, whose mission is to change the lace of civilization. Since be sallies forth in such spread-eagle style, we feel that his efforts deserve a reply, and, to the task. is critics sometimes leave themselves open to criticism we will begin by pointmg out your erroneous statements, (or your false ones we might say: First. you contradict yourself when you say (hat you did not accuse us of indorsing tho conduct of the poor unfortunate who partook too freely of Jasper's bust-head. Wo eliim positively that yon did. In the second place, you are mistaken in thinkiug that we had taken offence at what you intended as fun. Wo certainly mean fun, too, and vour hands full of it. ir you choose. Our statement expres sive of disgust and contempt for you, can in no way be construod to mean that we had taken offence. Disgust and con tempt are feelings shared with us by many, on occasions wnere such unprin cipled gentlemen ) as yourself assail the conduct of those who are sometimes found in the gutter, but wo are sorrv that wo can not express forcibly enough our intense loathing of such as vou when you assail such respected citizens as My. (Jill. You advise us to not worry about Mr. Gill. We wont, soyxr. We have always found him to be a man caoable of locking after his own interests, but slow to dirty his hands with your rub bish, bo you say you will criticise him whenever you like. Arn't you a pretty looking aspect to criticise a minister of the gospel? as for his talking politics, that is none of your business. Mr. Gill has a right to his opinion the same as any one else. At the same time vou need not talk about Stallcup, for we will assure you that he stands higher in the Oitimation of the people than vou do. s to our being a fool, that we will frankly admit, aud thank you most heartily for the compliment. On second thought we are convluced ourselves that s the hight of folly to attempt to con vince a fool that anything outside of the scope of his narrow minded compre hension is right. Kegarrtinjr our slush about our neigh bors, we will say this, that vour asser tion to the effect that we dislike the parties spoken of, is false, abotnnaible and utterly without foundation. On the other hand, toxxr, we esteem them as men of worth and resnectabilitv. It seeim that our last article broueht vou to the stool of repentance, and anappeal io me sympamy oi ttie readers of the Argus seems to be your only loop-hole for escape, When true statements and just accusations are dodged in this way, a Kama's 1 1, a - S . . ... ""cido uo un ui argument r Again we are reminded that we are a tool. By so poorly defending yourself on that issue you betray a weakness pitiable indeed. A weakness for which ws would recommend to you one teaspoon full of Mrs. Wlaslow's Soothing Syrup before retiring. Judging from the general tenure of your writing, we are led to believe that you only advertise the mis deeds of others in order to keep their acts before the public gaze, that vour own acts may escape notice.

Outfit it free, and the wors steady. Experience is not nec essary. 9-Ut. Agricdltcrists vs. Manufacturkrs.The Associated Press diitnatchaa of laat Friday show the fallacy of the oft claim ed reason for a hiarh orotective tariff, that it "builds up a home market for farmer, and manufacturers." It shows that the manufacturers aud wool raisers are not able to agree as to a wool schedule them selves, tbe former wanting some kinds of wool free of duty, so that they may give employment to more laborers, and by exportation, make the entire world their market. Tho dispatch aays the Senate sub-committee on finance in charge of the tariff bill heard delegations of carpet and woolen goods raauulactur ers aud of wool growers, the former ot whom desire certain modifications in the wool schedule tending to a reduction of some duties, wmie the wool growers wanted still additional duties levied Win. Whitman, of Massachusetts, spoke in behalf of the manufacturers, and Col umbus Delano, or Washington, D. C, ex-secretary of the interior, for tho wool growers. So far as heard the arguments made no change in tbe minds of the com mittee. (T A number of railroad bills are introduced into the Legislature. The members cannot be too careful in dealing with them. Nothing should be done to restrict legitimate railway extensions, as the Indiana railway system is by no means perfect yet. If a general hill was adopted, preventing any watering of stock, any over-issue of mortgage bonds, and providing that all earnings in excess of six per cent on actual cost should be paid into the State treasury, and compelling sworn reports to be made In regard to earnings, salaries and cost, we think it would cover tbe entire ground necessary.
