'MEN WHO MOST CONTRIBUTED TO GREAT'NESS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDIANA

Bir William Jones, an Englishman of great learning and experience in state crttf. .and living during the period when England's American colonies were ‘struggling for independence, wrote his celebrated ode, entitled, *“What Constitutes a State?’ It has been queted until it has become commenplace, but s stiil reproduced when men want a standard by which to measure thcse who are called upon to bulld a state in which lberty, Independence and law constitute {ts great pupporting pillars. One stanza of the ode will suffice for this artlcla: w (:‘Wh,at Constltutes a State?” #Not ' high-raised battlement or labored . moungd, : Thick wall or moated gate; Nor citles proud .with spires and turrets crowned; : : s * Nor bays and broad-armed ports, ' Where laughing at the storm rich navies : ride; ' Nor starréd and spangled courts, Where low-browed baseneéss wafts perfume to pride. o . No, men, high-mihded men, - With powers as far above dull brutes endured : f ie In forest, brake or den, ‘' : As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles _rude. . Men who thelr dutles know, But know their rights, and knowing, dar. gneintain;, | i Prevent the long-aimed blow And crush the tyrant while they = rend the chain. s These constitute the stale.” ' ' ! Indiana’s Positlom Contemplating the positlon of Indlana in the great republic, & state on the foundations of which the ideas of Blr William Jones first found expression, as the der;!l&mtion of independecnce demonstrates, ‘and which have been transmitted to all of the states since the unlon of ths thirtean colonies first made us a batlon; the query Is, were the founders of the empire state of Indiana in full accord with Sir William Jones’s exposition of ‘“What Constitutes a State?’ I think such a conclusion is warranted by all the facts of histery. Say what we may, there is an element of superstition in the mental orgenlsm of mon, however educated and cultured they may be, and it may be that geeing the wonderful strides the state has made from a wilderness to her present noon-day glory in civilization, wealth, prozperity and iafluence, the conjecture may be nursed by some people that the state has had a good genius, a tutulary Deity to preside over its destiny, guard fts development and shape {ts course. Put such reflections, perhaps, ars too fanociful for this era .pf steam and-elec-tricity, this utilitarian; practical,. mat-ter-of-fact age, when the forge, the plow, the anvil and engine are working wonders whichi seize upon the public mind and will not be set aside. Their demand for gconsideration is imperious. They are freighted with encouragement, and only eulogies are tolerated. They inspire hope;

they vitalize faith in the coming of things hoped for, giving -assurance that the things already accomplished are to be overshadowed by future achievements in every line of high endeavor. They make the old reminiscent; the past passes in review in panoramlic grandeur, and to the young furnish dazzling ideals to be revealed a 8 the years go by. . The Credit. In such mood the Inquiry is forced: “To whom, in ‘the larger measure, is Indiana indebted for her splendid renown?’ .The facts of history have_ all the glamor of fictlon. But yesterday a winderness; today the center of advanced civilization, with its two hundred thousand farms; its three hundred cities and towns; its thousand factories; its ten thousand school houses; its churches, colleges and universitics; its benevolent institutions and splendid charities; its press, and its writers who have won fame in every ‘department of literature; its professional educators; its lawyers, doctors and clergymen; its merchants and manufactures; its more than five thousand miles of rallroads—a state in which art, sclence, learning and culture find an 4nvigorating atmosphere; in a word, a state -where every prospect pleases, where hill and dale and rock and vale suggest contentment, and where the great masses are satistied with heing “fobscurely good." Surely, all this advancement, this development, this moral, intellectual and material wealth has not come to Indlana by chance, by wizard enchantments, by some Aladdin ring and lamp. History records a different verdict. From the day Indiana was launched as a territory, more than a hundred years ago, the men at the helm were endowed with a large measure of common sense, integrity, consclence, leyalty to duty and love of country.. Who were these men? Where stand the monuments to perpetuate their names and their labors in laying the foundationg of Indiana’s greatness even before tha state was born? Where are thelr graves? In what sequestered spot of our great domaln is their final resting place, to remain until the last trump opens earth’s charnel houses and ‘the Lamk and the white-vested elders have met’ to pass judgment? : Four Great Men. There were four of these men— Arthur Saint Clafr, John Gibson, ; Willlam Henry Harrison, Thomas Posey. : They were all natlve Americans except Baint Clair, who was born in Edinburg, Scotland. in 1735. He “Wwas a general in the revolutionary war and was appointed governor of Indlana territory in 1787 and remained in office till 1800." He was‘a gallant and patriotic soldier. A He dled in 1818 at the age of eighty-three yéars. His successor by appointment was Willlam Henry Harrison,-but for a year John Gibson, who was secretary of the territory, was acting governor.. He was a native of Pennsylvania, .born in 1740. He served with distinection” during the revolutionary war, and was a delegate to the conven-

tion which framed the first constitution of Pennsylvania. He died at Pittsburg in 1822, at sixty-three years of age. It is scarcely required t 0 more than mention the name of William Henry Harrison—who served as governor of the Indiana territory from 1801 to 1812, and during his term of office fought the battle of Tippecanoe, and in 1840 was elected president of the United States. This reward for his services to his country came lats in life, but it came with scripture measure at last. He was made governor of the Indiana territory at the age of twenty-seven. He fought the great battle of Tippecanoe at thirty-eight and the still more renowned battle of the Thames, where Tecumsch fell, at forty. He was elected president at sixty-seven years of age, and died in office at the age of sixty-eight. ; : N. P. Wiilis., the poet, wrote of Harrison's death in the white house:

“Death! Death in the white house! Ah, never before : Trod his skeleton foot on the president’s floor! ; --La - c . - Ttut Farrison's death fllis the climax of story— : He went with his old stride—from glory to glory. :

Lay his sword on his breast! There's no spot on its blade In whose cankering breath his bright laurels will fade; 'Twas the first to lead on at humanity's call— It wds stay’'d with sweet mercy when “glory’’ was all; ; < As calm In the council as gallant in war, He fought for his country, and not its “hurrah.” s : In the path of the hero with pity he trod— : ; : Let him pass—with his sword—to the presence of Goc ”’ Thomas Posey. Thomas Posey was the last governor of the Indlana territory. Like BBaint Clair and Gen. Gibson, he was a revolutionary soldier and fought for independence. He was with Wayne at the storming and capture of the fort at Stony Point, N. Y, in 1779, regarded as one of the most brilliant exploits of the- revolutionary war. Posey was the first to give the watchwbrd, ‘“The fort's our own.” After his retirement from the office of terrltorial governor in 1816, he returned to Illinols, where, two years later, he dled. " From 1787 to 1816—twenty-rilne years—the four men named were the chief architects in laying the foundations of Indiana in legislation and law and in molding public c¢pinion in matters pertaining to education, religion anrd morals. They were high-minded men, measuring up gplendidly to the standard of Sir Willlam Jones. They knew their duty and the rights of their fellow men. They mapped out the course of events. Indlana has more than fulfilled their ideals, and Indiarians may tune their throats and sing with Longfellow: “We know what maste;s_lald thy keel, What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel, ‘Who made each mast, and sail and rope, What anvil rung, what” hammers beat, In what a forge and what a heat : Were shapéd the anchors of our hope.” Yes, all of the present generation know it all, and the grand men who were at the forge and the anvil, who wielded the hammers—St. Clalr, Gibson, Harrison and Posey—are entitled to everlasting gratltude for the work they performed. Honors Given. True, the nation rewarded larrison. It raised him to the most august station known to the natfons of the earth, and then, by a decree of fate, he pitched his tent on “Fame's ‘eternal camping ground.” But what of the other men who were his assoclates in laying the foundations of Indiana? The state has done something to reseue the names of Gibson and Posey from oblivion (and other states have done the same for St. Clair) by conferring their names upon countles. Indiana has her counties of Gibson and Posey and Harrison; Michigan her river and lake bearing the name of St. Clair. Is that enough? The present i{s an era of government reservations. There is a patriotic spirit abroad which finds expression in monuments on battlefields where Indiana soldiers fought and fell. The present is a monument building era in the United States, and Indiana is abreast of the most advanced of all our commonwealths. The ancient custom lis being revived in all its glory. Egypt, Greece, Rome and ofher lands and peoples were not, more under the influence of the desire to perpetuate the names and deeds of their rulers and heroes. Pyramids were built for tombs and temples for gods. KEgypt had her pyramids and obelisks, Greece her acropolis and parthenon, Rome her pantheon and collseum. Byron wrote the legend of Rome: ‘“Vvhile stands the coliseum Rome shall standq : When falls' the coltseum Rome shall fall, And when Rome falls—the world.”

Rome, Greece, Egypt have fallen, and all their monumental grandeur is a ruin, gsans Cheops in the sand by the Nile. It has stood defying -elements since time was young, and is likely ‘to remain intact when forty more centuries are gone. In this regard the old Egyptians have had no rivals. In piling up great rocks, square and ponderous, one upon: another, they solved a problem where others failed, and Cheops stands to keep in everlasting remembrance a race of Titans whose infancy defles the researches of antigovians. In this they taught a legson t ' ‘odern monument builders which shoul. i:ot be disregarded. :

The First Capitol.

The builders of the first capitol of Indiana at Corydon, Harrison county, seem to have had the Egyptian idea of architecture. They built the unpretentious state house to resist decay, and. there it stands after the lapse of eighty-six years as firmly fixed on its foundations as it' was when the first legislature of Indiana met within lits massive walls, eighty-five years ago. It is a relic of Indiana in its dawn. In the morning of the first day of its triumphal march the sun baptized it in auroral light. Standin.. forty feet square in the . walls of stone two and a half feet thick, there is no reason why it may not, stand a thousand years. Already this-old capitol is attracting attention, and people are beginning to reverence it, ar% as the years go by this feeling of veneration will increase and become intensificd. it is the only memorial of Indiana’s early history as a state, the only souvenir the past has placed In possession of the present to keep fresh and green the remembrance of the birth of the state. Buch reflections suggest the propriety of a movement for the acquisition by the state of the old capitol at Corydon and its preservation from decay. The grounds around the building should be improved and art and culture taxed to the utmost to make them beautiful with walks and flowers, shrubs and trees. This done, at the four corners ¢6f the park let art do its best In placing statues of BBt Clair, Gibson, Harrison and Posey, the {llustrious men who for Imore than a quarter of a century devoted their lives to laying broad and deep the foundation of the state. s :The various rooms of the bullding could be set apart for a museum where me-~ mentoes of the early days could be preserved to delight future generations, snd Corydon wauld become a sort of Mecca. And in time thousands of pilgrims would resort thither to see the only monument of early Indiana preserved by the state to perpetuate memories of its primitive history. :

FARMING MACHINERY

EVOLUTION OF THE CRUDE IMPLEMENTS OF THE PAST.

Modern Tools for Forcing Wealth from the Virgin Soil — Prominent Firms.

By T. A. Conlee.

As an agricultural state Indlana. has within the past ten years taken a place of first n}agnltude, shaken the ashes of her flelds and stumps from her garments ana risen to a place of importance as a producer of farm cereals. No one of our states has made more aavancement in agricultural products or excelled us in development, and it would not be an unreasonable boast If we claimed that the farmers of Indiana were entitled to more credit for this development than could be justly accorded to any other people, from the fact that this was not a prairie country prepared in advance for the plow, but a vast forest. To no ons agency can this advancement be creditea s 0 much as the employmeat of improved

It does not require a very old citizen of Indiana to have a distinct recollectlon of clearing and logging bees, as they were called, or when the Indiana farmer relled on his logs, more than heé id on his crops, to furnish both necessaries and luxuries. Thig primitive condition was too good to last, and In 1850 we find our state denuded of its forests, and only remaining -large flelds of stumps. Something must be done. These large clearings must be converted into flelds of golden grain, and the ring of ax snd buzzing of saw must be superseded by the harvest song of the reaper and hum of the thresher. How was this to be done? The man with the hos was a back number and too siow. The means w@s at hand in improved farim implemsants and tools. What the world owes to Improved farm machinery cannot be set forth more forcibly and clearly thfm in the proof of what has been done for Indiana, bringing prosperity and thrift to farmers, who would otherwise be floundering in the ashes of their stumps.

Agricultural Progress.

The stump pulier was the advance guard, followed by the chilled cast iron plow, which was quickly: superseded by the high-grade steel plow, and both riding and walking gang and sulky piows. These perfect tools were equipped with a view to good work and light draft, and supplemented with the most useful of all tools, the disc harrow. Next in evolution comes the two-row check-row corn planter, with perfect drop and capacity of twenty acres per day, this tool having relegated to the rear ell’ the primitive methods, from the oldfashioned way of dropping by hand ana covering with a hoe, up to the two-row corn planter operated by hand. Next come cultivators, and we reach perfection in the hammock rider, and the farmers who now combine business and pleasure can look backward over the vast flelds of advancement along this line, from the hoe until ‘he, sitting under his sun shade on his riding cultivator, is thankful that he lives at the parting of the ways between the nineteenth and twentleth centuries. ' These tools and impiements are all for the plantlng and cultivating of corn. ! For wheat and gmall grain we have the perfect two-horse drill and broadcast szeders. So rapidly have we advanced along this lin ethat we can easily remember our fathers with bags across tnerr shoulders sowing broadcast by hand, weary and footsore. ! . The binder has supplanted the old cradle and sickle. X The magnificent thresher of today, with steam power and wind-stacker, pours the golden grain, ready for market; into thefarmer's wagon, and, although we remember with some pleasure the old days ot flail and winnow, we should not want to return to this ancient method. Now the questioh is, whar has all this done for Indiana and how many years would it have taken to bring our own Hoosler state up to the present high level of cultivation, if we were without improved farm machinery? The wealth brought to the Indiana farmer, and incidentally to all our citizens, by the introduction of the very highest grade ot farm implements cannot be overestimated. Vast Improvements. Standing on the threshold of the twentieth century and looking back over the last ten j;eaxs, we see an advancement and improvement in farmers and farming that is phenomenal, and this can be &t--tributed to the adoption of the most improved methods of planting, * cultivating and harvesting. The world has been &na s now pouring into our laps the products of our best brain and brawn. What does it mean for the Hoosier state? 'This: Taking as a basis 1890, it is estimated by competent statisticians and compilers that there is 33 -13 per cent. more of the land cultivated than in 1890, and that it is 50 per cent. better cultivated. 4 This is all to the credit of improved farm machinery. The best agricultural implements have been brought to our doors. . The capital city of the state has come in for its portion of the benefit derived from the advanced condition of farming. With railroads and shipping facllities unequaled it has invited and secured the headquarters and storehouses of large manufacturers and hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of the best the world can produce in the way of Improved farm machinery is constantly on hand for shipment to all parts of the state. ; Prominent Firms. Among those who have become identifled with us in a permanent way, their investment being a sure guarantee of permanency, we find first the John Deere plow company of Indiana, a branch of the famous Moline, IIL., factory, the largest and best equipped branch house in the state. They carry a full line of implements manufactured by Dezre & Co,, and Deere & Mansur compauny of Moline, liL, a large stogl of repairs and extras,

the famous White Elephant line of vehicles, the Moline farm wagons, and everything in the line of first-class implements and tools. The shipments made from this house alone will approximate closely to the entire sales of iraplements in the state in 1890. S The McCormick harygestiag machire company has recently eracted ‘a fine building for the transaction of its business, and carries a large stock of its implements. The bullding is at 223-26 8. Capitol-ave.,, and {8 a handsoma and mammoth structure, with an {mmense erea of floor space and amnvle switch facilitles, and is a credit alike to Indian-i apolis and to the great McCormick comsi pany founded by the Inventor of the reap~ ing machine. - i The Deering harvesting company ot Chieago has a large and commodlous building, where it keeps a full line of its goods and makes prompt shipments. ‘The Rumely manufacturing company, also owns its own building, and carrles a large stock, and can furnish anything in the thresher or engine line on short notice. The Eastern Moline plow company occuples quarters on 8. Pennsylvania-st., and carries a full line. The H. T. Conde implement company, a regular jobbing house and not directly connected with factories, carries a full line of implements, vehicles and seeds. The . Oliver chilled. plow company of South Bend also has.a branch of -its business located on S. Pennsylvania-st. In addition to those who own their own buildings we have scores of representatives of factories, with offices 2nd headquarters, who transfer frcm the Union transfer and storage company, and the number of representatives living within the borders of the state i{s legion, being geven times greater than in 1800, and the addition to our tax duplicates from agricultural implement houses {s no small atfair. It is natural that the introduction of improved farm machinery, having developend, and brought thrift to our state,. its manufactures should also be entitled to great credit, and equally enjoy with the farmer thé prosperity which they have been largely the means of producing. - .

Home Heating and Lighting Company.

Probably no enterprise.projected during the entire history of the city has attracted more attention than the proposed erection of Central Station heating and lighting plants by the Home licating and Lighting Company. Many changes have been effected in the century that has just passed that may be summed up in the word CENTRALIZATION. =

! The “Old Oaken Bucket’” {s but a n.emory, and we are now supplied with water from a Central Station. The candle, as well as the whale oil and kerosene lamps have been superseded by artificial gas or electric lights from Central Stations. Natural gas allowed. the establishment of a Central Station for the distribution of heat, but with the diminishing supply of gas came the realization that some other .and more durable method must be gecuréd. > ; ~ The Home Heating and Lighting Company, having secured a franchise to heat the city by hot water, steam or electricity and to furnish electric light and power, have begun the construction of heating and lighting plants for that purpose. The plant at the corner of Sixteenth and Alabama-sts’ {s now finished and s a model of mechanical ingenuity and laborsaving devices. The building is an imposing brick structure with stone trimmings, and the equipment comprises the most modern apparatus on the market. The company has spared no expense to secure the best consulting engineering talent obtainable. : Heating a large number of houses by hot water from a Central Station bhas proven eminently successful, and we give herewith a brief explanation of the system and the benefits to be derived therefrom. £ o A plant is erected near the center of the territory selected and there the water i{s heated and the electricity generated. The hot water is forced through pipes, which are laid underground and properly insulated, and through the, radiators in the houses. After passing’ through the radiators the water is returned by separate main to the station to be reheated. The patron of the company is saved the expense and annoyance of looking after a furnace; his house is heated to a comfortable and uniform temperature throughout, safety, economy and comfort being secured without effort on his part. The number of customers already sccured exceeds the éxpectations of the company, and indications point to continued activity in this line for some time to come. (ks : The officers and directors are wellknown citizens of Indianapolis—Mr. S. E. Rauh, the president, being of the firm of E. Rauh & Sous, and president of the Belt raillroad and stock .yvards company. Mr. Edward Hawkins, the secretary, is manager of the Indian school book company, and is connected with several other large business enterprises in this city. These two gentl%men and Messrs. L. J. Hackney, Crawford § Fairbanks and John F. Wild compose the board of directors of the company. :
