To Realms of Peace.

Not unexpected was the death last Wednesday morning, at the family home six miles north of Rensselaer, of Miss Etta B. Yeoman, idolized daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David H. Yeoman, aged twenty years, nine months, and twenty-eight days. Through the agency of that dread disease, consumption, in a a brief twelfth month, the high purposes of mortal ambition have been changed to the hopes of that higher life of peace and love. Denied the fragrance of the bloom just as the bud bad unfolded its beautious leaves, a fair young life is cut down in the great earth school of spiritual evolution, to enter another realm, the mysteries of which are thus revealed. Miss Etta Yeoman was born April Bth, 1874, at the old homestead where she died, the sixth child in a family of eight, four sons and four daughters. Those who survive her are Mrs. Elfie Mauck of Arcadia, Dallas M., Victor, Mrs. Daisy Brown of Yountsville, James, Hattie and David. She was in fact the favorite flower of the home and the blow is indeed severe to all those hearts wherein she reigned a queen. It is but just to say that her’s was a brilliant mind, reaching far along the line to literary attainment; but a year ago she was obliged because of the fatal malady to leave the Rensselaer high school from which she would have been a graduate about the time of her death. She was a member of the Methodist Protestant church but it was her desire that the funeral services be held in the M. E. church in Rensselaer, that Rev. Dr. Utter might speak the words of consolation to lighten the burden of sorrow that so heavily rests upon the hearts of those who loved her but too well.

She was conscious to the last, gave minute instructions as to the funeral arrangements, and though in great pain for many days, she patiently, hopefully, awaited the final summons. All the family were at home during the last days of her illness, but when the moment of dissolution approached she signified that the loved father alone should remain at her side. All that science could suggest was done to stay the fleeting life. Florida was visited, but in vain; the reputed powers of divine healers were invoked but to be disappointed. Hex’ spirit has fled. The services occurred at half past one Thursday afternoon, the large funeral cortege having to come the six long miles in the severest weather of this winter. The church was filled to its capacity with came to pay the last tribute of love and esteem that the living owe the dead. The sermon by Rev. Dr. Utter was the careful chosen words of one who spoke not only from the head but from the depths of a sympathetic heart, touched tenderly by the sad circumstance presented. The interment was made in Weston cemetery.

An Honored Citizen Gone.

By the death of James V. Dutton of Jordan township, the ranks of the pioneer settlers of Indiana number one less, and Jasper county loses oue of its most highly respected citizens. Mr. Dutton's was a busy life crowned with reasonable success at his chosen calling of farming, and in laying down the work here to meet his maker in the ripeness of well spent years he could truly feel that the mission of life had been accomplished.

His death occurred at the old home in Jordan township, at 4:45 p. m. on Monday, Jan. 28th. 1895, at the age of 85 years, 3 months and 29 days, after an illness of short duration, The funeral occurred on Wednesday direct from the house to Weston cemetery where a simple service was performed by Rev. Utter.

James V. Dutton was born in Warren county, Ohio, Sept. 29. 1809; moved to Tippecanoe county, Ind., in 1828,where he resided until 1865 when he removed to this county where he has since resided. He married Elizabeth Pritchet April 30, 1835, who survives him. Eleven children were born nine of whom, two sons and seven daughters are living, two dying in infancy. All the children attendee} the funeral except the oldest son, Asa, who resides in Arkansas. He was raised a Quaker, to the teachings and speech of which sect he conformed through life. Politically he had no ambition, though for thirteen years he was a trustee in Tippeeapoe county, was given a similar position here. The Widow and honored mother feels this unmeasured loss severely, the one great grief of all her life. Living with her are the unmarried children, the youngest son and daughter, John C. F. and Lillian H. to offereuch consolation as only they can give. Austin & Co. have unlimited facilities for placing farm loans at the lowest rates of interest and commission. There is no red tape about these loans. If your title is good you can get your money in 48 hours. Address Austin & Co., RanMAlaer, Ind.

Joseph Mitchell has sold his farm of 165 acres, 31 miles south of town, to Mr. McMannus of Goodland. Mr. Mitchell came here about ten years ago and his neighbors regret exceedingly that he intends to take his esteemed family to Randolph county. He is an old soldier and a worthy citizen. Of his six children a son is attending the state university and two daughters are teachers in this county. F. R. Burr, formerly of Goodland, has ordered the Pilot forwarded to Scottsburg, Halifax Co., Va. The following from his communication shows how he regards this paper: ‘"Please see to changing my address. Please see to it at once for I can’t get along without the Pilot I will write you more as soon as I get settled”.

The menu was fit for the royalty that graced the occasion with their presence. , The evening was one continuous round of pleasure, and the hour of midnight had approached before the last guests had bid the happy pair good night.

ARE YOU AN HONEST MAN?

than Join the Party at the Coasasea Peapie aad Let De Wirt Together. We believe the voters of both old parties are\honest and will not bo found voting with dishonest parties any longer than the time when they learn the truth. The People's party has heretofore been largely built up from the repnb lican party, 'that pasty being in power its dishonesty Was more apparent than that of the . democratic. But now that the democratic party baa had a chance ahd its leaders have shown them&elves even worse than the republican leaders, the people are leaving It. Honest men #lll not longer vote the ticket, aid thdy know that the republican party it against Aho people, so that they can not honootly tarn any way except toward thl new party of the common people. The People's party has do prejudice or grudge against a man for having voted with a party that ho thought would serve the ihterestd.of the people. But no# that he kndwa the true disposition of democracy, if ho does not cut loose from it, he deserves not even sympathy In his misdry.

As men, wo receive you into the People’s party. If you believe in our principled, work with us. 7 hat is all The party does not reward you for thia; you reap tbo reward yonrsqjf, and we shall all be benefitt d together. It is as much' to your interest as to ours that you should join us. If you are not honestly seeking the good of the whole people, you are not worthy of our consideration. The general good ia the object of the People’s party. If you are an office hunter, better stay m the old party a little 'longer, until you become humble enongh to accept a place in the ranks ai a worker. Workers are what we want We will make officials of some of them, of course, but if we cot Id secure the enactment and enforcement of the principles of the Omaha platform into law, without e|ecting a single official our purpose would be served. We invite you for justice and humanity—not for spoils. If you are an honest man you can not take offense at the terms of enlistment

Notes by the Way.

The President’s recommendations were all for plutocracy’s interests. The way to bring greater prosperity to the bankers is for eongress to adopt the Baltimore plan. The way to bring prosperity to the whole people is to abolish the present banking system, issue more legal tender government paper money and institute government banks.

DRIVING OUT CAPITAL.

If Our People Were Out of Debt They Might Prosper. Populists claim most diligently that the interest bearing debts of the United States are over 830,000,000,000. The interest on this vast snm far exceeds the total producing power of the United States at this time. The producing classes (farmers and manufacturers) must eat and be clothed. How to do this and pay the interest is a problem. A problem that means starvation, destitution and misery. A list of the debts is an interesting

study. First, as near as the facts can be asccrtained the total open accounts of merchants, manufacturers, etc., amount l o 811,000,000,000 in round numbers. By the census of 1800 and Poor's manual for 1892, the indebtedness of the United States was reported as follows: National, 8891,900,104, State and municipal, 8135,310,643. Kallway bonds in 189.1, 86,463,0i1,004. Farm and home debts, 82,500,000,000. Mortgages on realty, street railways, manufactories and other like business enterprises, 85,350,000,000. National bank loans, 83,153,760.805. Ixmns by state, savings and private banks and trust companies, 82,251,764,292. Total indebtedness, 830,746.315,848, >n which the productive labor of the e mntry is paying annually an interest charge of 81,854,778,951. Every dollar of debt, whatever its character, is a mortgage on labor until paid. Plunging cities into debt is folly and ci’hne. If our people were out of debt they would be prosperous; in debt deeply, as they now are, prosperity is out of the question. Upon this showing any state, city or county in the nation that succeeds in ■•driving out capital” i> doing itself a kindness. The interest account is ns large as the producers of this nation can stand.—Denver Road.

Restore to the People Their Vested Rights.

All men are declared to be free, equal and independent, and have inherent and inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these ‘fights and the protection of property, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. This docrlne is In the constitutions of the states, but for some reason was not dneed in the constitution of -he United •states as above worded. But it is in the Declaration of Independence, and that has always been considered the fundamental law of all American government, and as such can not be treated lightly. The fundamental theory of government for the people is the Decaration of Independence. Under all •onstitutions the people are required o delegate their vested rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, md a consent to be goverened, to an igent called a representative. Then* two principles are inconsistent with u heory of self government. Beasous: Lhe powers to use the vested rights t<: life, liberty and the pursuit of happi nets and the consent to be governed are not such powers as are embraced in any correct principles of agency, for this reason: The use of thoee power? properly involve a process of individual study, reasoning, education, judgment It was intended that the individual should have a direct voice in his government, and his consent should be obtained as to the government of all* 7 his being true, the government for all would be the majority judgment of all as to the laws. A delegation of the use of those powers deprives the citizen of all incentive to take personal interest in his government. This takes away the desire to know on what principles his government is running. . The result is, the agent has the natural opportunity to create all monopolized by classes and they have gobbled up the citizens rights, his means of support—the free avenues of labor—and by class legislation the governing classes are running our government with a high hand against the interests of the masie-i. Bodies of free men are always opposed to class legislation. That’s one reason why bodies ought to pass directly upon the laws that shall govern them. would refuse to indorse "class doctrines,” but would indorse the doctrine of "the greater gopd to the greater number.” The state of Illinois has a population of nearly 4.000.00). The legislation is done by -04 agents. It’s'vote is more than a million. The vested rights of I,'XX),OOO men are placed at the absolute disposal of 204 agents with no instructions whatever. The educational features of the ballot box, which should be always foremost in the midst of a free people, are entirely eliminated from the principles of -»- f government, -it well may be the subject of careful investigation whether the ruthless power of the constitutions compelling the citizen to delegate Lh vested right to conseut to his form o government and to protect his right to lif.! and liberty is not the fundamental cause of the conditions of the country to-day.—Lucius 0. Wilson, Guno, 111.
