TALK ABOUT JUMBO. Will <he Kionpaptrs l»w to (toy Mm! P»Ur»kir. (lu. PIS YOU* FAITH OS IT. The success of the Petersburg gas well has re-awakened the old spirit for gas in Jasper. Oakland City and Boonville have each formed a company, and contracted for drilling. If they obtain it too, Jasper is almost certaiuly in the belt and will also try for it again. If Jasper and Otwell should obtain it, the New Albany & Vincennes railroad will almost certainly be hadt.— Jasper Courier.

TO SKK “JlMBO.” A party of wheelmen composed of EL B. iluntcr, Eld L. Glass, J. C. Wagner, Harry B. Ijewis and Joe Scheefer rode over to Petersburg yesterday to see the shooting of “Jumbo," Petersburg's big gas well. The party left the city at 2 p. ra.—Vincennes Commercial. so FUCKER. We are disposed to look over Petersburg correspondents for calling Washington a “town" because of the lead our neighbor has on this city, but if the gas well flickers we shall expect an apology.—Washington Gazette. OK COURSE it is. “Si" Sheerin of Logansport, after por-smal inspection, reports that the new gas well at Petersburg is a genuine gusher. Other wells are being bored, and it will soon lie known if southern Indiana will develop 'another gas belt.—Mt. Vernon Demucrat. —<V— ' CAN DO MUCH GOOD.

Reminiscent. The following is from the pen of Jerome B. Evans, who was brought up in this city. It was published in his paper, the Monroe Advertiser, Forsythe, Georgia, and refers to the Horniday place just below town: How strange it is that we are. as we grow older, constantly referring iu our minds to some other state of existence with which we are familiar. These cooling breezes of these glorious Georgia May days, the shady groves both remind me of another spot where live three people whose lives have been as calm and quiet as a summer’s day, aud their surroundings are just as beautiful as their long lives have been. We remem

ber when a boy the ecstacy we felt when permitted to visit this place. Nature seems to have designed litis home for these people. As you leave a long sandy road arid up a little hill and through a gate, you iind yourself at the portals of a shaded grove that bursts upon you like a revelation, like a dream. Here to my bare feet the short velvety grass feels like the cooling waters from some mountain spring; and such shade I High the trees are trimmed and I overhead their branches meet and sway aud ; swing in the summer sun as {he balmy south wind kisses the g»ia*s leaves to life again and again. Through this is a lovely driveway, at the end of which you fiud the home nestled among the spring blossoms. I could not give you a description of this quiet nook, it always seemed to me like a gem hidden away in its setting, whose beauty was beyond my power of speech or i pen. In a wide and varied experience 1 ; have never known'a place that seemed to I me half as beautiful. The brother and two sisters who live here are well along life's pathway but their surroundings are a reflection of what their lives have lieen. I ! may never see this place again but its mem- | ory will always 1* to me the'sweetest and i most quiet place l nave ever known. f nfortunate People Are they who while suffering from kidney j diseases are prejudiced against all adverl ti.>od remedies. They should know that ! Foley's Kidney Cure is not a quack remedy, i but ati honest guaranteed medicine for kid- ! ney and bladder troubles. Bergen & Olii pliant. m flelfenbein—Fulcher.

At the appointed hour Rev. Freeman, followed by the contracting | parties, entered the spacious parlor and in a neat and '•■qnvssive ceremony pronounced them husband'and wife, and bid them God's speed on the pathway of life. After the ceremony followed the congratulations of friends, and the party were then ushered to the dmmg room in which was spread an abundance of delicacies to tempt the apjK'tites of all present. Mr. Helfcnbeiu is a young business man of Waverly. Ohio, and is well liked, by all who know him and gince his arrival here he has made friends of ail who have nut him. The bride is the daughter of one of the largest stock and grain raisers in the county. Miss Fulcher is an excellent voting lady, highly esteemed by all who know her and is one who is well known for In r excellent qualities. Mr. and Mrs. llelfeubein left last Friday for their home in Waverly, Ohio, followed by the best wishes of all. To Consumptives.

: FOR THE BETTER ELEMENT. _ Goldbngi Think Too Mach Attention Is Paid to tho Common People. The goldbugs announce, through their organ, the New York Evening Post, a new plank in their platform. They complain that too much deference is paid and too much consideration given in this country to the interests of the people, the commoners, the multitude, the masses. These'4 jingo speeches’ * in congress, they say, disturb markets and embarrass specnlation. They make “flurries in stocks.” They “depreciate property.” They should be restrained. ; The Post suggests that every senator who purposes to “make a jingo speech” ^-that is, of course, a speech which takes an American patriotic view of a public question—shall be compelled, first, “to deposit $5,000 as liquidated damages in case he affected the stock

market!" The public discussion of laws and treaties which concern the multitude— what are they in comparison with the rise or fall of privately owned securities? The deposit ‘ ‘would be no sort of amends, ” says The Post, “but it would restrain him.” Restrain discussion and prohibit deliberation in public matters, and let us all remain silent and acquiescent, submissive to “the better element t” It is only a wonder that The Post does not want the congressman who dares to discuss popular questions imprisoned as well as fined. Why have any congress at all? Why not let tbo Wall street financiers manage the whole business to suit themselves? Evidently the model arrangement for doing public business, according to The Port’s ideas, is to be fouud in such governments as exist in Russia, Turkey and Chino. They don’t allow popular orators to disturb the stock markets in those happy regions, and such newspapers as they have are very careful to give no offense to the4 ‘better element. ” The Post, transplanted to such a community, would naturally feel very much at its ease there. It is certainly very uncomfortable here.—New York News. —- MR. LYON’S MISTAKE. Went Before the Ways and Means Committee In the People's Interest. The next time Mr. Crawford Lyon of Baltimore appears before the ways and mean-< committee of the national house of representatives he will remain at home. Mr. Lyon made the fatal mistake of appearing before the committee and asking for a lower instead of a higher duty on linoleums and oilcloths. This was contraiy to the spirit of the majority of the committee. The manufacturers of linoleums and oilclotlis were asking for a higher duty and were listened to with patience. But when Mr. Lyon appeared and proved by statistics that even the present Wilson-Gommn tariff duties on these articles lavishly protect-, ed the rmmufacturers he was bombarded by questions and confused with the multiplicity of ideas promulgated by the committeemen seeking to give the tariff screws another turn. Mr. Lyon showed that the WilsonGorrnuu tariff was the same on these goods as in the law of 1888, and that 1883 law was satisfactory to the manufacturers until they were given a large and long taste of a tariff that enormously increased their profits. And now they are crying for more. Theirs is an infant industry that is of voting age, and they are still coddling the lusty youngster and howling for protection that will enable them to make an unearned pn fit by taxing the whole people. When Mr. Lyon retired from the committee room, one member of the committee sneeriugly asked if there were any more ‘‘representatives of the people” present desiring to be heard. Representatives of the people are not wanted before the ways and means committee of the present congress. That committee was not made up with the idea of doing anything for the people. It was made up for the exclusive benefit of those who have industries they want “protected.”—Omaha World-Herald. HANNA AS SENATOR. Qualification* Which Entitle Him to the Etttccm of Republican*. Hanna’s elairns to senatorial honors at the hands of the Republicans ore twofold. In expertness as a boodle loss he is on a plane with such past masters as Quay, Eikins, Chundler and others of that tribe; in point of knowledge of trust manipulation the shrewdest lobbied is his pupil, and in fortune he is entitled to a seat at the millionaires’ club well up toward the head of the tables It Is due Boss Hanna to add that, having never dabbled in any politics except that of the “practical” sort, his usefulness to the interests he represents is unhampered by either knowledge of political economy or the high aims which distinguish statesmanship.—St Louis Republic.

Ready to FroSt by UtohonMty. It is announced at Washington that i the gold Democrats in the senate will | rote to aeat Mr. Du Pont and thus punish the Delaware Democrats for sending a j real Democrat to the United States sen- | ate. There is nothing startling in this announcement Such a proceeding would be right In line with the revolutionary acts of tho present administration, and the Republican party is ever ready to profit by such dishonesty. The Same Here. Senator Wolcott should not be the ■ least bit discouraged over tho lack of in- | forest displayed in his errand by the j English people. The American public views the thing in the sasae light What Would It Say? If money talks, it would be interesting to know what it has to say about the recent Lank failures. A long Way Ahead.
