REHINGTON.

Correspondence es People’s Pilot. Mr. William Burger, a brother of John Burger, has been visiting his Remington relatives and friends the past week. His Home is Kenton, Ohio, and Mr, John Burger returned with him the latter part of the week. Mrs. Thomas Dixon and her sister Miss Nettie Buck of Auburn. Ir.d,, are visiting with the family of “Uncle” John S. Morehead, having arrived last week. Mrs. Freelon visited relatives in Benton county the latter part of last week. Mr. Monegh. the poultry man will move his family from Goodland to Remington as soon as he can secure a suitable residence in which to locate. We all welcome Ed as a citizen of our town Benjamin Davidson, ar oldtime friend of the writer, and at present one of the county commissioner’s of Benton county, paid Remington a business visit last Friday. His home is about two miles south of Goodland.

The Sheron boy, who ran away from Goodland about six weeks ago has not yet been found. It was reported that he had been located in the south part of the state with a bevy of tramps but on investigation the whole party had gone. The residence of Mr. John M. Ott on Division street will be speedily constructed. Mr. Ott having already dug his cellar and done quite an amount of tiling. He has also much of the materials necessary forlhebuilding on the ground. Kentland has just completed their system of waterworks and it is said by those who are familiar with such matters that the works appear to be all that could be desired. Our people will vote on the question oi waterworks for Remington on April Ist. and by the time your paper is issued the question will be settled one way or the other. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Amsler have removed from Jasper county to Fairbury, Illinois where they will make their future home. We are sorry to lose them. Commissioner Dexter R. Jones went to Chicago last Wednesday in company with Dr. J. P. Ramsay of Remington, Wm. Jones will be treated there for his disabilities and will probably remain there for some time to come. The weat erat this writing is exceptionally tine and it now looks like spring was here to stay with us for keeps. From present indications sowing oats will be the order of business this week and many thousands of acres wi'l undoubtedly be sowed.

FAIR OARS.

Correspondence of the People’s Pilot. Fish Gilmore is building a house. Norman Brooks is sick and partly paralyzed. Mr. Cromwell is selling Lightning soap ih Fair Oaks. John Casey has bought the general agency for this valuable soap for Grant and Jackson townships m Newton county. He is also selling fruit trees for Halleck’s nursery. The foundation for the new church at Fair Oaks has been commenced. The good people of that place have no place now in which to assemble for divine services. The building ■will be completed as soon as possible.

County Committee Meeting.

, The county central committee of the People’s party met pursuant 10 cah in the Nowels house at Rensselaer last Saturday at 2 p. m. The principal business transacted was th a postponing: of the time for holding the county convention until after the national convention and leaving: the date to be fixed at a future meeting. The committee confirmed the election of county chairman and secretary and elected a treasurer, the officers now being. J. A. McFarland, chairman; L. Strong, secretary, and Walter Ponsler, treasurer. It was found that nearly all townships were organized, and ready for work. The next me. ting of the committee will be held at the Nowels house in four weeks. April 25, 1896, at one o’clock p. m. John Essen of Brook was in town on business to-day. 1 Farmers report the roads getting in good shape again. Mr. Kent of Kentland owner of a ten thousand acre ranch in north eastern Newton county is very dangerously sick.

Geld Hine Owners Bcnefitted.

James Brushnahan, who has been spending a few days at the old home near Rensselaer, called at the Pilot office a short time before returningto western Montana. and discussed the condition of affairs there. Of course Mr. Brushnahan is a free silver man and a populist. He says that in the immediate vicinity where he is located the copper mines have kept up fairly good times. All of the exclusively silver mines in the Black Hills, Idaho, Montana, Colorado and elsewhere are closed, except a few of the very rich ones, because they do not pay to work. The silver that is being produced is largely that which is taken from gold mines, as nearly all gold quartz carries a percentage of silver. He thinks the mine owners are really the gainers by the demonetization of silver because it has doubled the price of their gold, the mining which is the greater industry of the two.

Raid of The Amazons.

The ladies of the Relief Corps gave Mrs. Frank Osborne a farewell surprise Tuesday evening, taking their lunch baskets with them w’ell tilled with the requisites for an excellent supper which was served at the proper Lime. The ladies were masked and variously costumed, some even wearing male attire. The raiders assemble at the home of Mrs. Ezra and the descent was made in force without warning to the beleaguered garrison.

Fifty Thousand Lost.

Fifty thousand dollars is a large sum in the country, but it seems to be regarded a very small matter at Washington. The newspapers tell us that a mistake in engraving and printing the new bonds cost the government thissum. The engraving had been made and the bonds printed, but, the papers say, Carlisle had not seen a copy until Wednesday of last week. On that day, Chief Johnson, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, banded the Secretary a copy. Mr. Carlisle, in a rage, said it was not what he wanted at all. and tore it in pieces. Mr. Johnson tried to explain, but Carlisle cut him off with an order to destroy the xtfhole lot, ans do the work all over, at a loss, say the papers of $50,000. —Exchange.

MILROY TOWNSHIP.

Correspondence of the People’s Pilot . The farmers of Milroy are making great preparations to put out a large crop. Rough feed is getting very scarce for cattle and horses. McDonald paid Gilmore $7 a ton for wild hay; Fred Saltwell paid John McCeauer $8 a ton, if a man is allowed to guess on the price of hay. The trustee of our township is going to build him a new house on the piece of land he has purchased. Our schools are progressing very well. There are but three schools ia the township. Milroy is destitute of church or meetings. The people had a preacher from Wolcott to preach to them, but he went into the real estate business. The young people will have some place to go to, and they are enjoying themselver going tofdances and balls. Mrs. R. Foul ks is getting better, Miss Effie Foulks stayed there two weeks and has now returned home. The people are talking of

building two miles of gravel road in Milroy to join the White county road that the people of that county are going to build to the Jasper county line. z Enos.

Alt t!u Armies of the World Could Not H-»rm Vs So Much. Sixty per cent of the stocks and bonds of the vast Pennsylvania railroad system is said to be owned in Europe. Nearly all the Illinois Central railroad, extending from Chicago to New Orleans, with great city properties and branches and laterals, is owned in Holland. Great ownership in the immense properties of the New York Central Railroad company, and all its vast railroad connections, is held in Europe. A controlling interest in the Great Northern railroad, running from Lake Superior to the Pacific ocean, Is owned in England. A controlling interest in the Northern Pacific railroad, lying south of, and as extensive as the last named railroad, is owned in Germany. Large, if not controlling, interests in every other important railroad in the United States, are owned by European investors. The immense Carnegie iron works at Homestead, Pa., are owned principally in Scotland. The controlling interest in the famous Pillsbury flouring mills at Minneapolis, the largest in the world, is owned in England. The great iron mills of the Lake Superior region, said to produce 10,000,000 tons of iron ore a year, are largely held by English investors. A controlling Interest in the Grant smelters in Denver and Omaha, the largest in the world, is owned by Englishmen. Foreigners own immense interests in the breweries of the country, largely if not The largest bankers of New York are foreigners, or representalves of foreign banking houses. These are the great gold shippers. A large percentage of our fire and marine insurance is in foreign insurance companies.

Five-sixths of all our freightage of our foreign commerce is carried in foreign vessels. Foreigners own millions of acres of our farming lands. They own many millions of dollars in value of our city properties. Their mortgage loans overspread the face of the country. Foreign capitalists own hundreds of millions of United States bonds, and state bonds; and they own untold millions of city bonds, and other municipal obligations in the United States, and vast amounts of other properties not here specially stated. So gre°t has become the aggregate of all those ownerships in United States properties, by foreigners living in foreign countries, that the aggregate cannot be less than >7,000,000,000 , with an average of earnings of not less than five per cent per annum. Besides, there are great numbers of wealthy people who are annual tourists to foreign countries; tourists who live expensively, and invest large sums of American money in European luxuries and costly productions. The sums so expended have been estimated at SIOO,000,000 yearly. This is probably excessive, but the amounts are known to be very great. The aggregate of all these European dues on investments in this country and expenditures by our tourist classes, may with fairness and moderation be placed at $400,000,000 each year. This is Europe’s annual money demand upon the United States, to be responded to, in gold, or gold values, in new railroads or other investments, or trade balances. All the nations of the earth in armed conflict against us could not financially and industriously harm us as much as, by unwise legislation, we have harmed ourselves. Let, then, Americans protect American rights, and all equitable American interests, against the world. Thus will freedom preserve her glorious inheritance and the highest results of civilization will be continued to future generations in America. —Anson Walcott in National Bimetallist.
