Tux way of the Star-routers is hard Both,Kellogg and Brady have been-, indicted-. ih'KiNti the past year the Baltimore eonferenee of M. K. ehuroll South received $153,000 for missionary work. . The annual contest of the Indiana State Oratorical Association will take place at Indianapolis next Wednesday, the flth inst. The remains of John Howard Payne have beefj brought to this cornitry and the author of “Home Sweet Home” now sleeps in liis own loved country. . _ JU'L The Ohio river relief fund, raised l»y the New York Herald, amounts to $19,000. Bennett has an agelit traveling the river to put the money where it is most needed. Telephonic; experiments have been tried between Cleveland, Ohio, and New York City. Under, iavorablc eonditlons the voices were heard as distinct as on short circuits. The Methodist Episcopal Church ^ (North) is about to establish a university in the South that will bo the largest in that region, with the single exception'of Vanderbilt University i at Nashville, ^t will probably be located at Chattanooga.

Mr. (ii.Aiiisii charged Pike county $12.00 l'or publishing a certain legal notice, that for the same amount* of space he would not have charged a business man over fifty cents, lie charges the -county twenty-four times as much as lie does private individuals. And all in the interest of reform. The death of Postmaster General; Howe may possibly lead to a complete re-organization of the Cabinet. Secretary Folger is in very bad health, mud Attorney General Brewster is fast becoming a common drunkard. A host, of candidates are mentioned in connection with the vacant Postmaster.Gcneralslop. ' ■——ia— , ■ • A scheme was madc ap last fall to have the legislature release the contractors of tli£ new state house and increase tlicir pay. If the majority had constated to it, what a (earful howl of denunciation would have gone up froth the llepublican newspaper? of the state, and possibly some Democratic sheets that now profess Independence would have found no fault. A c'onisF.sroNnENT of the Indianapolis Journal says that the el?\) of Washington is gradually filljytg up with rich men---re fired merchants, hankers and the like—who are buy4ug and building elegant mansions with a vjcW of spending the-major part of the time in the capital. It is really a beautiful city, and it is small wonder that wealthy people are turning their attention this way. The I wonder is they have not done so before.

Official returns .show that in the year 1882,Great Britain imported 110,787.02S bushels of wheat. Of this total 51 per edit, was drawn from Hie United States; 15 percent, from Russia ; 18 per cent, from British India ; 14 uer cent, from Australia; -ltf per] 4'enn from British .North America; per cent, from Germany ; a-frac-tion under 1 percent., of the whole from Turkey, and less Ilian N of 1 per cent, from any other country. The United States furnished more than ail the others combined. i ■ ■■ ■■■,! «■■ . IVepall the attention of the readers of the 1)k.mo( kat to an article in nnothur column, headed “Another Buzz Saw.” It is worthy of a careful perusal. Ih reference to the matter, the Indianapolis Sentinel nays:; The open letter to Stanton ,1, Pi die written by Mr IV. P, Fishbaek. lisip, printed in another eqjgpnn, should be read carefully. The author is not our {rood ^ Democratic friend .John Fishbaek, but a full blooded liigl-up-in-thc-Syuit-gogue-Hepuhlican, once the editor of the Indianapolis Journal, afterward in the same position on the great Republican organ of Missouri, the GlobeDemocrat, and now . lastor in Chancery of the U. 'S. Disi rict Court—a ltepublienn without gui le awd who ncVer, or hardly ever—sera lubes, Tiieke is some trepidation among ♦lies collectors of internal revenue. In view of the fact that the next house will be Democratic, it is deemed advisable for the administration to consolidate the revomw offices and do away with as many as possible in order to get the credit for reform' which would otherwise be given the Democrats as the house wilt certainly legislate many if not all t lie collectors cult of office. Even with the present internal revenue law one-half if not two-thirds of the col eetors and deputies could he dlspcin i>d with without detriment to the rWpHce, A great . saving could, easily lie effected. It might have been do fc^anv time these ten years and mility $ of dollars saved. This is one of W sins of oniinsion the party ini owcf will have to auswerfor.

THE ELECTIONS!!

The October Wave Gather's and Bises to Greater Heights in April. Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Evansville and Nearly All the Other Cities Give Democratic Maj orities. Returns from nearly every city and town where Municipal elections were held last Monday, show overwhelming majorities f.>r the Democrats-. , ■*- In Evansville the Democrat.^ elect the entire city ticket, with one exception, and five out of the six eouncilmcu. Evansville may be put down hereafter as a Democratic city. In Chicago, where a bitter party ’fight- was waged agaiiisf Mayor Harrison, he was elected by 10,(100 majori-S ty, with the entire city ticket. In Cincinnati the defeat of the Republicans was overwhelming. Stephens. Democratic candidate for Mayor was elected by about 8,000 majority, a gain bftiOO over the last election. All the other Democratic nominees are elected, with the exception of comptroller, by majorities something less than for mayor,. Cleveland, also, goes Democratic, and in fact a large majority of the towns and cities of Ohio, If these returns indicate anything, Ohio is assured to the Democrats in the next Presidential election. The rotten old hulk of Republicanism, which is synomomms with bossism, star route thieving, rings, jobs, and monopolies is sinking, and in tlio next Presidential election we will .see it pass frt>m our view forever.

Tunis e is ft little island only ten miles in circumference, lying almost in the middle of the South Pacific ocean which will the in May next the chief contfif-of scientific interest on the globe. This is because it is the only available spot of laud whence 1 a perfect view of the eclipse of the sun on May 6 can be obtained. Astronomers from every civilized country will meet there. The view* of the eclipse will last six minutes. Would iftaot be,well for the til-publican papers (bat liave been so denunciatory ot the LegielaHirc to point ant some of the bad labs passed by tlnit body? simple abuse don’t amount to anything with sensible people.—[Rk-hmoud Democrat. The Republican papers are in a dilemma. Aware that the Republican Legislature of 18)jSl made anvexeee'dingiv bad record and disgusted the people generally, they would like to cultivate the same feeling with reference to the Democratic Legislature of 1883. However, their efforts in this direction tire not likely to meet with much success. So far they have only scolded and snarled. That doesn’t conn t among men of sense. Tue legislature of New Jersey decided in 1881 to adopt protection as u state policy and to try to dove lop the cultivation of sorghum. The plan adopted was to offer a bounty of - $2.50 per ton for the sorghum cane raised in the state.—[Chicago Inter-Ocean; This frank statement from a vehement protection advocate is to be welcomed as in tlie interests of truth. It is here piuinply and plainly stated-tha t the system of protection is simply the system of paying bounties to men to engage in business. That is,just it and the whole of it. Workingmen should understand this thoroughly. There is no bounty paid to them, nor any part of the bounty set aside for wages. The bounty is paid to the owner of the plant or industry( who gets Ms labor just as he does his material, at the lowest price lie-can in tho market.

Tub government lawyers who are prosecuting the Star Route thieves are guilty of fully as culpable transactions as the prisoners now on- trial. The Attorney-General and his assistants are paid by the, people to prosecute these suits, and instead of doing this they let the job out by eontraetto favorite outside lawyers, who even descend to the swindle of charging ^he government for the postage stamps they use and the blacking of their boots. It' puzzles.the public to detect the difference between llorsey and Brady paving double prices to contractors finexpediting the mails, and Attorney Geneal Brewster paying an outsid'e lawyer.at the rate of $150,000 a year to protract the Star Bonte trials and indefinitely postpone a settlement. Go into the iron mills of Pennsylvania, the great factories of Massa dim setts and New Jersey—all loaded down by proteetion —and what do wo sofirti We see not merely a mass of gaunt men and ’ women huddled in the darkest dens of misery and squalor but boys and girls, from seven to nine years old on to youthhood, slaving eight to ten hours a day for the scantiest means of subsistence. Is it not because the head of the family canuot oarn euough to support it? Is it not because the father and the mother, by their united efforts, cannot eke out a livelihood without recruiting their energies with the toil of the children ? Yet tins Is the, proud rutin tie .of prosperity and plenty which protection , annually arrays, and for whoso dear sake it woivid tax the country from live to eight hundred millions of bounty. And when these poor wret.-hes, tor whose security against the pauper labor of Europe we are required to pour into the pockets of'their taskmasters a perpetual subsidy, are driven to tile wall—When they turn like huiigrv beasts upon their pursuers and re 6cl*—the troops art* called out to shoot Them down, and the bill of expenses a particulars Is coolly sent to the rest1 of 11s to pay; This is what fHey-pal}"‘ynrftMuig our home industries. —[Louisville Cour-ier-Journal.

.ANOTHER BUZZ SAW. HON. W. Pi FIR STANRepublicans Helping Monopolist* to Rob Workingmen. A Kef Note Declaration that the Republican Party is no Longer Wanted. ilos. Stanton J. Peelle : f Dear Sir—A. have received, under cover of frank, that part of the Congressional Record which contain* the text of "An not to reduce in ternal revenue taxation, and for other purposes.” I assume that,you voted for the bill as it tin ally pabsoil, auu, as one of your constituents, I wish to call your attention to some features of the law, which, if they may be taken as an indication of the present policy mid tendency of the Republican party, forebode its defeat in the uear future.* I saw the Whig-party die because it so allied itself to slavery and capital that, in popular estimation, it became the enemy of the poor. There are indicatioushliat the politicuus who rule the caucuses and frame the policy of the Republican party arc fatally hunt on putting that organization in the same position. When Congress convened last December, it was evident that, under existing laws, there wouldbe too much money in the Treasury. The most wasteful extravagance of expenditure, and the loosest possible adminstration of the Pension Department, would not suffice to use up the surplus-, it was conceded oh all hands that taxes must be reduced. Humanity, t<J say nothing of good policy, would suggest that whatever was done iu the way of readj usting the taxes and the tariff, should be done with a view ei removing or lessoning burdens which existing laws placed upon those who perform manual labor for wages. It is not necessary to remind you t ha t this class is seldom represented in the lobby, and that whatever favors they get iu the way of legislation are the result of a sense of the justice of their claims, or oftener, perhaps, a sense of fear of their displeasure. I may be wrong, but a study of the law as it stands has impressed me with the belief that it is a law in the interest of capital and monopolists. 1 expressly waive any discussion of the abstract question of free trade and protection. 1 recognize the fact that there is great diversity

oi opinion amongst goou men of both parties on tliu subject, ami it is plain, from what lias thus far appeared, that tlie Senators and Representatives from Indiana have given it very little inTelligeut consideration. So far as Indiana is concerned the tariff seems to be in the estimation of our statesmen not a local question, as General Hancock said, but narrower than that, a personal question concerning one Air. Del’auw, of whom and his plate, glass business the'country lias learned ad (Htuse.unu Hut to the law. Why could it not have been framed sp-as' to remove the taxes which increase the cost of food, shelter, clothing and working tools, of laboring men? In wiiose interest did you repeal the law taxing banking capital, bank -deposits, hank checks and perfumery ? Was there a lobby of hard-listed Knights of Columbia there urging it ? Who was it that insisted on 20 per oeut. ad valorem fax <m soap, 20 per cent, on tan bark, twentylive cents a gallon on linseed oil, 25 to 50 per cent, on brown •earthenware and crockery, 30 per cent, on slate pencils, four cents a pound on horseshoe nails, 40 per cent, on ; band-saws. 2«> per cent; on knitting, pa ruing and sowing needles, a heavy tax on hoards, lath and shingles, two and a half on three and a half cents per pound to sugar and eight cents a gallon on molasses and a heavy tax on every gar- ; ment of wool, cotton, lined or leather,] which a poor man must wear? You tax his shoes, his socks, the needle that knits his socks, his drawers, his shirt, Ids trowscrsjkhis chat, his hat. Yoit tax the imported ’ salt which cures his bacon, but refund the tax if the salted meat is sent •abroad to be consumed by foreigners. Now, if these taxes are necessary they should be imposed without fear and they would be borne without a murmur. But the people have sense enough to see that, they are ijuneeessary and oppressive* Worse than this, it is morally certain that most of these taxes are imposed at the suggestion, if not the dictation, of rich men who main

tain a powerful lobby at the National Capital. The elfcet of snch a legislation is to make the rielij richer and the poor poorer. Can the Republican party live on its reminiscences while it continues to perpetrate such folly and wickedness? it is Urged, and you and other Indiana politicians' have urged that taxes such as these are to protect the laboring men, and I do not question your sincerity. The important duty of distributing teii dollar Postottices has absorbed so" much of your time that yon have had little lea.sure to study the question, and you ■ should be acquitted of any intention to wrong the laborer. You and your associates who voted for the measure doubtless meant well enough. But a moment’s consideration should be enough to enable a man of average intelligence to see that a tariff of 25 polecat., which enables an American manufacturer to undersell liis foreign eomjKjtitor is no protection to his workmen. Why do yon protect the “‘boss” and increase his profits by law, and leave the workman to protect himself hv a strike ? If you honestly mean to protect the laborer, vote a bounty payable directly to the laborer. 1 have not space to speak of the iuiquity Of the metal schedules, only to say that one who was an eye witness of the last scenes of the late Congress informs me the millionaires who thronged the lobby bad their wav, and that your honorable body was a mere puppet in tlieir hands. You may be sure the people will not stand this sort of legislation much longer. Respectfully, W. P. Fisuback. March 22,1883. Fkom a careful calculation it is learned that the average income of the protected American workman is $34iC Of tfcin-mm lie is forced to pay ■$147.10- in taxes-to the manufacturers of his family’s clothing/ fowl and medicine. Can laboring men fail to sec a reason in these figures why our Tariff and and Revenue laws should be amended? How it must wrench his heart strings to think of the poor lever stricken people through the length and breadth of the land, the sufferers by the Ohio river Hood, and the sick’generaily, getting their quinine Without paying the Pennsylvania manufacturer two cents bounty- for every dose swallowcd-_ How it will wrench the heart s trings of all the inonoppllsts when they seethe day, as they will (toe it, jn which they shall no more be allowed to tax the people for their porsonal benefit.—Indianapolis News.
