LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY. INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1876.

GO SLOW ABOUT_GOINGW EST. A Look at Kansas Exiles. . | Reality Versus Rose Colors—on the Line of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad—the Prob- - lem of Emigration—More to Come, | - (Special Correspoudent of the Indianapolis'SenS - . timel) 4 125

-ON THE LINE, July 30, 1876.—Tw0 reasons induced a brief sojourn of the Sentinel’s western correspondent in ‘the State of Kansas. The first is found in the heavy contributions which Indiana has made and ‘still is making to the population of Kansas by emigration and the other reason arises out of the well-known wide circulation of the Sentinel in all parts of 'l:ndiapn, reaching every hamlet and cross-roads postoffiee throughout the State|,and imposing a corresponding obligation to furnish its many readers with important facts bearing on the subject of emigration. e { . A HARD NUT TO 6RACK. = - It has always been, and, perhaps, will ever continue to bé a most diflicult task to get at.the true status of affairs.in' 2 new country.. The current of opinion runs to ‘ex parte accounts in favor of the hew. place as naturally as water runs down the hill, and the: most extravagant stories are seemingly all the ‘more readily accepted because they contradict eyvery experience. He was not an altogether tiseless character with whom the trite story acquaints us, who, upon a return visit to his old home regaled the plodding old fogies with' the most staggering accounts of the new land he had found, describing 'éleercwith horns measuring seven feet from tip to tip inhabiting forests whose trees were five feet in diameter. and not. more than’ two feet apart. To the question by his astonished listeners as to how the deer managed to .pass between the trees, he gave the ready, answer: “Oh! thatis their lookout, not mine.” While somewhat excelling for vigor of. statement the average Kansas historian, the chief difference consists in the superior skill of our narrator in extricating himself from the difficulties of cross-examination. To tell big stories about new countries is, as ITamlet would say, “easy as lying,” and'the assumption 1s hexe ventured that: about as miuch of it has been done in the name of Kansas as any section of the country since it was discovered by Columbus. « £

. THE NUT CRACKED. - - There is, liowever, an explanation for the one-sided and exaggerated accounts referred to, which in part rests in the fact that no one is particularly interested in giving the other side of the emigration question, while the route of travel is literally lined ‘with those :who have a sort of proprietary interest in the rapid settlement of the country, and therefore have a personal motive to advocate the inducements to settle and a corresponding personal interest in answering all objections and suppressing any facts which might ‘adversely impress the. emigrants. ' -In ordinary transactions of life those who have met \with disappointment will consent to.give their friends and relatives the benefit of their mistakes, but this matter of emigration must be set down as an exception to the rule, whetlier it be simply another realization of the old proverb,

MISERY LOVES COMPANY, or whether it be from that natural gride which is ever loth to acknowledge a mistake in judgment; the truth remains tliat movers seldom ‘locate: upon a spot of earth.so barren and forbidding, but they will counsel their dearest friends even .of kith and Kin, to follow. These tendencies to cover up ‘unsightly facts on one hand and to magnify theleast agreeable teatures on the other-are not given as peculiar to Kansas. They are fréaks of poor human nature the world over, 'hey are the false:{inger-boards of life—calculated to mislead, and belong to the- will and ghe wisp, jack-o-lantern, ignis fatuus: class of ‘ills for whichthere is. no remedy, and they must be allowed toigo in to fill up the cups of human misery until they, of over-full-ness flow back in streams of sad experience to warn the rising generations. Such streams of experience in disappointment, lost estate, fruitless search, ‘and wasted energies, have many fountains in this part of Kansas, which is by no mieans so populous;along the line of the I.eavenworth, I.awrence and Galveston railroad as it was some years ago. . Noft a few, but many, settlers have ~“folded up their tents, like the Arabs, and stolen silently away,” leaving farms which they haye labored years to open up,deliberately abandoning them to an exorbitant taxation, which they have failed to make them produce enough to pay over and above family support. Such eases of abandonment are not a few here and there to be accounted for by indolence and mismanagement, but, on the contrary, the instances are many, in spite of industry and thrift, which have succeeded elsewhere and would succeed again in anything like-an equal race for a livelihood. ~An: orator on the last Fourth of July at the county seat of Allen:county, on the line ot this road, in recounting the trials and hardships through which they had passed, and the number who had fled the State, jocularky reminded his audience that ;any credit they -might take to them‘selves for having stuck to ths State would be doubtfully assumed, inasmuch as not half of them would be there if they -had been able to get away. The result would have beén far from the pleasantry intended if the speaker had followed out the line of thought. He might truthfully have added that three out of five of his audience are individually . : NOT WORTH FéIFTY CENTS ON THE L DOLLAR :

wlten reduced to actual values of what, they possessed when they came into the State, and that if those who emigrated from either Indiana, Illinois, or Ohio had remained where they were, and had for these years done an equal amount of hard labor, and endured an equal amount of privation and'self-denial, eonsuming as little for food and raiment, they would have acquried fortunes. Believing that some specious form of alluremient and deception must reside where such a state of affairs exists, your correspondent set about the task of analysis, and will give the result of somewhat extended research iu future correspondence, in which will appear how great ‘an engine for oppression and wrong a ‘railroad may become, and in which is ‘seen as through a kaleidoscope the multiform evils that spring from the } land grant subsidy system. ‘R,

: - Meaven’s Own Child, : {Reading (Pa.) Eagle.] - A little girl in town recently stw an old drunken man lying on a door step, the perspiration pouring off his face and a erowd of children preparing to make fun of him. She took her little apron and wiped his face; and then looked uy so pitifully to the rest and made thts _remark, “O, say, don’t hurt him. He';‘@bmebody'g‘g‘ﬂ&ndpa.”

A MAN OF PARTS. A Few of the Stories That Will be Tolr Before the Canvass is Over. | ! . i : ‘ . “What do you'think of the ticket?) asked Mr. Magruder, in the boardinghouse, lagt night. o . “Toler’ble,” said Mr, Maguffin, “toler’ble. Down in the custom-house this morning, Isaw a clerk behind the “counter trying to :stave off a lof/ of fellows who wanted to get their/invoices verified. ' I asked him what he ‘thought of it, and he’ stopped work at once.” - o e “Think of it ?”’hé said. “It’s a blazer. It’llﬁlraw like ahouse on fire.” P “Think Govemor Hayes will be a Retormer?’ = /' S ‘«Reformer!

Good ticket? I should say sp?” ~Over in the Ajypraiser’s office I found the enterprising young/man that use§ to put the fgures in @harley Lawrence’s invoices I asked him how he liked the ticket. » : “Like it? It's a warer.” | - “Believe the. Gorernor will go in for reform?e” . - o o , : . “I don’t know what he’ll| go in for; but you will cast ysur eye pn his war record? I ,was ina regiment under him at Antietam. (The Goyernor was brandishin’.his sword and shoutin’ to the boys to git in, vhen along-come a bullet and snaked of his left arm. ITe just shifted the sword over to his right hand; had a hasty |[tourniquet put on the stump of his left arm, and then/bolted into the fight again.— Dra’w? He'll drav like a blast furnacg!” o . L Happening in at the post 'office, 1 asked.one of the bois who were 'rastlin’ the mails how the ticket struck him.' . - | “It'll sweep the country!?” : “Do you suppose Hayes will reform the government ?” . r “Hey? .. -1 didn’tcatch that;” and the young man puthis hand up to his ear. I repeated.thequestion. “Oh, yes; reform. Well, now, I real1y can’t say whether he'll be a reformer or not; but wi]l‘ym just let your eye rest on his war record for a moment? I wasin arégiment that served under him- at Gettysburg. The Governor was braidishin’ his sword and hollerin’ to the boys to let themselves loose, when aong come abullet and carrfed away his right leg. The Governor stopped jist long enough' to have his leg cooperel up, and then he drove into battle agiin, Good ticket?

Damaging Western Credit, |Grand Rapids Post.]l* =

- The west has been:greatly damaged in credit by the soft moneyites. It is without suffi¢ient capital of its own ‘to speedily and properly develop ik We are therefore dependant on the richer Eastern States. We are heavy borrowers and in' the 'nature of the case must be for years to eome. . The rate of interest at which we borrow ivery largely depends upon our reputa‘tion in the money centres of the East. Anything that_tends to lower our reputation for financial soundness and. business honesty makes capital indisposed to seek investment among us and compels us to pay an increased rate of interest.. Thousands of Eastern capitalists are: investing their ‘money at home at 4,5, or 6 per cent. ‘in preference to investing it in the West at’s, 9, or 10 per cent. Ask them the reason why they do this and they will reply, “We cannot trust you Western fellows. You talk like a set of swindlers. You come to us asking in one breath to borrow money and in the next you sneer at and denounce us as ‘bondholders,’ ‘bloated aristocrats, ‘money sharks,’ etc. You ask our money on bond and mortgage while laboring to establish a monetsry system that would enabie you when the mortgage became due to pay off your indebtednéss in u currency so depreciated that $5 would hardly equal the present value of $l. You prate of personal honesty while advocating rank scoundrelism on the part of the Government in the treatment of its creditor. We don’t ifeel like trusting 'you wunder these circumstances. We prefer keeping our money at home at a low rate of interest to loaningpit to you at a high rate.” From persgnal contact with Eastern people we know that is substantially the way they feel. . Thie West is today paying from 2 to 3.per cent, more for money than it would have to pay had we the confidence of capitalists in the East. The anties of the ey-irredeemable-paper—currency-half-way-repudiation fanatics has already cost the West millions of mongy in ‘the way of increased rate of interest and unless effectually. squelcheq they will‘cost-us many millions more, *

A Great Blunder. Y 1 .The New York Dispatch, one of the leading republican papers of that metropolis, descants as follows upen the situation in Indiana, and not in \very flattering terms, as it will be seen: “It would be a great disaster for the republican party not to carry Indianain October next. But how this is to be done with Mr. Godlove 8. Orth at the head of the republican State ticket we cannot see. That Orth has acted corruptly while chairman of the Committe on Foreign Affairs, in' the Congress of 1873-4, admits no longer of ithe slightest dp%bt-. He enriched him-* 'self by helping the infamous Stillwell, Andy Johnson’s appointee to the Venezuela mission to obtain from the government of that feeble South Ameridan republic large” sums of money, which it did not honestly owe. In view of this fact, as well as of the previous bag record of Mr. Orth, who, in 1854, was severely censured by the Supreme Court of his State for defrauding a poor German widow of her small farm, is it not the bounden duty of the Republican State Committee of Indiana to replace Mr. Orth,as the republican candidate for Governor, by a man such as the noble young Gen. B, "H. Harrison, whose moral and politi‘cal escutcheon is spotless, and whose appearance at the head of their State ticket would be hailed with a burst of enthusiasm that would leave no doubt or uncertainty as to the result of the campaign? There are plenty of other good Republicans in Indiana, capable of defeating *“Blue Jeans” Williams, the democratic candidate for Governor, than whom no greater blatherskite nor shallower demagogue can be found in .the Hoosier State; but we are fearful lest Orth should not be able to ‘beat him, and hence, we urge the Republican State Central Committee of Indiana to take action in the matter at

once, and thereby help their brethren in this State, where the most arduous

work has to be done. The nomination of Godlove S, Orth was a great political blunder. The State Cornmittee of Indiana should rectify it. » - | The Dispatch knows all about Orth, but.when it speaks of Blue Jeans Williams as being & * blatherskite ” and “ghallow demagogue,” it does-gross injustice to a good, honest, sincere and apright man. =~ .
