Silver democrats are going to protest the election of presidential electors in Kentucky. •‘Our Populist,” published at Rock Island, 111., has changed its name to “Farm and Labor* Tribune.” Demands for the adoption of the Australian ballot system in Texas are made in many Peoples party papers. A Populist colony is to be es tablished in Crawford county, Kansas. Hon. John W. Breidenthal and others are interested in the venture. Czar Reed, of Maine, has raised a storm of abuse by daring to pass through Canton without stopping to worship at the McKinley shrine. The Indiana People’s Party Press Association has been called to meet in Hotel English, Indianapolis. December 28. by H. N. Metsinger, President.
The Southern Mercury, Dallas, Tex., demands that no more national fusion be allowed and then issues a call for a nonpartisan state ticket for ’9B. Eli Perkins, the humorist, lecturer and champion liar, is the latest of McKinley’s visitors and advisers. • He is being funnier than when he was paid to be funny. The California Populist State Committee has been iu session and has laid out a plan for future work of which thorough organization by school districts is the basis. Almost every exchange contains notice of the forming of clubs for the discussion and study of the financial question. A great opportunity to do good work.
The Union and ex-Confederate soldiers of Missouri have formed an organization called "The blue and the Grey.” A dress uniform of blue coat and grey trousers and hat is to be worn by them at their first banquet, February 22. Captain London, a staunch Populist of Macon City, Mo,, had to pay an election bet by making a McKinley speech, on Thanksgiving day. The wager was with his sister who invited a number of her friends to enjoy his discomforture and a fine dinner. \ Cleveland, in his message, suggests increased tax on bser and higher tariff on tea and coffee. Mr. Cleveland has purchased a $60,000 mansion in Princeton and will become Dean of the Law School there on his retirement from the presidency. His proposed tour of the world is temporarily abandoned. Wail Street is responsible for the rumor, that he will establish a National Bank in New York City, of'wjhick he will be the president.
THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND.. THURSDAY, DECEMBEB 10, 1896.
Consul General Crittenden, representative of the United States in Mexico, has made a report on the industrial and financial condition of that country that is at variance with the antielection descriptions given voters. He states that great progress has been made there notably in tobacco and coffee culture. The annual report of Daniel Morgan, Treasurer of the United States, shows for the fiscal year ending June 30, ’96, Total receipts $326,976,200; Expenditures $352,. 179,446; Deficiency $25,203,245. Net receipts from bonds sold in ’94 ’95 96, 15294,164,295. Out standing debt $1,769,846,323. Money in circulation, in treasury and mints, $2,348,338,571. The negroes are demariding a place in the McKinley cabinet in return for their long and faithful service, which has been unrecognized. The offset to this appeal comes from a negro McKinley club of Washington, D. C., which states that federal and state “pie” is preferred by them and if it is not forth-coming they make threats as to the future.
Hanna has announced that McKinley will in his inaugural address “breath a spirit of deep abhorance to the trusts.” The trusts are not in the least disturbed by the mighty s’s post prandial prattling. They know their true meaning and rest easy knowing that McKinley will never breathe anything that is not first breathed into him by their champion, Hanna. The official reports of the election show some slight changes. In Virginia Bryan received 154,985, McKinley 135,588. The Texas State Canvassing Board has finished its work in all but nine counties and report Bryan and Sewall 288,323, Bryan and Watson 79,966, McKinley 162,506. Oregon gives McKinley 46,739, Bryan 48,711. The official count by the State Canvassing Board of Nebraska shows Bryan 115,625, McKinley 102,565 All state officers were elected on the fusion. ticket by a plurality of 13,000 or more.
From all that can be heard of it the report of J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of ’ Agriculture, promises to be a most surprising document. He has gotten up some statistics showing that the farmers are in a most prosperous condition; that only 28 per cent have any incumberence on their lands and that was incurred to put on improvements. It is to be hoped that the farmers will be more liberally supplied with this document than they hhve been with seeds, on the distribution of which the said secretary has saved $2,000,000. The assurance of their prosperity will be a'bit of news that will make good reading, in which the element of surprise will not be wanting, to the farmers.
W. J. Bryan was given an unprecedented ovation at every point visited by him in Colorado. Myron Reid, the great Populist preacher, was toast-master .at the banquet tendered him at Denver. The North American Review publishes an article by Bryan, the Silver Cause, in which he reviews the past campaign and speaks in enthusiastic and hopeful terms of its triumph at some future time. Mr. Br,yan’@ lecturing tour will begin at Atlanta, Ga. He has been requested to be present at the conference of Silver leaders that has been called by Gen. Warner, to meet at Washington City, January 12-17. Moody, the great evangelist expresses his admiration for the recent demoPopulist candidate, and his wish that Mr. Bryan could be persuaded to preach the gospel as ernestly as he talks of political matters.
An Inconsistent Position.
Mr. B. J. Gifford was before the commissioners last Monday in the capacity of a remonstrator against the Younklers ditch, proposed to be made in Walker township and to empty its waters into his big ditch that has its outlet into the Iroquois just below Burk’s bridge. Mr. Gifford says that he does not want to lay a straw in the way of drainage to any part of the county, but he does think it just to have one part of the county drained to the detriment of the lands below, which must be traversed by the waters of the drained lands above. The viewets have already allowed Mr. Gifford about SSOO for the privilege of using his ditch as an outlet for the proposed canal, and there are manj competent judges who believe that no damage whatever would result from this extra flow of water, providing Mr. Gifford would take the water already .discharged from the big ditch into the Iroquois down that stream to its natural outlet, the mouth of the Pinkamink.
It is matter of history that Mr. Gifford practically changed the course of the Pinkamink by the construction of his big ditch and that he has actually ruined thousands of acres of land by his neglect to carry the water on to its natural channel. The financial loss has fallen heavily on many land owners and they can truly say, with Mr. Gifford that “they do not wish to lay a straw in the way of drainage of any part of the county,” but they do object to having their dry and valuable lands flooded in order that his marshes may be made to appear above the desert waste of water. Nor is this all; the county, after years of trouble and uncounted cost, succeeded in making a solid bridge aqd approaches at Burk’s crossing of the Iroquois. It is believed that had it not been for the backing up of water from Mr. Gifford’s ditch, this improvement would have been sufficient and no further outlay necessary. But as it is the county has been obliged to spend over S2OOO in order to make the bridge passable and still several hundred dollars more of expense will be necessary unless this foreign water is removed to its proper and natural course. This county recognizes fully the great improvements Mr. Gifford has and is making, and the lasting benefits to accrue therefrom, but they are not insensible also to the fact that Mr. Gifford is the one great beneficiary of all this improvement. He like other men is humanly selfish and like some men he seems to care very little about the rights of his neighbors. His methods of doing ousiness are open to the severest criticism, and it is time for our county commissioners to heed the cry of his wronged, neighbors and set the gentleman face to face with the strict letter of the law. He has no right, legal or moral, to reclaim the frog ponds in one locality and create others in another. The community has suffered long and patiently and the time has come for action. Eiither close the big ditch where it leaves the Pinkamink or dredge the Iroquois. There is no legal obstacle in the way of the commissioners affording immediate relief.
The capitol is in excellent repair ready for the meeting of congress on Monday. A new lighting and ventilating arrangement has been introduced that will add much to the comfort of I the senatorial hall. Special pressure will be brought to bear to pass a bill for the reorganization of army and revision of military law, also to secuie large appropriations for fortifications. Almost every member has a bill for an appropriations for some publjc building that his constituency want erected. The lowest estimate put on the expenditures
NEW UNDERTAKING. W. E. OVERTON Wishes to announce that he will open a new undertaking establishment on Dec. 21st in the NOWELS HOUSE BLOCK. A NEW HEARSE , And first class funeral furnishings have been provided, and special pains will be taken to merit a share of the public’s favors. Mr. Overton has CAREFULLY FITTED Himself for this work, having been for some time under the instruction of one of the best practitioners in Chicago.
for this term of Congress is $600,000,000. Assurance have been given that the Silver republican senators will go into caucus with the Populists. Senator Dubois announces, in an interview, that the silver senators will hold the balance of power in the senate and mean to use it.
Condensed Testimony.
Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manufacturer’s Agent, Columbus, Ohio, certifies that Dr. King’s New Discovery has no equal as a Cough remedy. J. D. Brown, Prop. St. James Hotel, Ft. Wayne, Ind., testifies that he was cured of a Cough of two years standing, caused by La Grippe, by Dr. King’s New Discovery. B. F. Merrill, Baldwinsville, Mass., says that he* has used and recommended it and never knew it to fail and would rather have it than any doctor, because it always cures. Mrs. Hemming, 222 E. 25th St., Chicago, always keeps it at hand and has no fear of Croup, because it instantly relieves. Free Trial Bottles at F. B. Meyer’s Drug Store.
Call for Conference.
It is now demonstrated that the educational work accomplished by the People’s Party has so far affected the people of the United States that the comparatively insignificant number of 25,000 votes, properly distributed in the last election, would have resulted in crystalizing our cherished ideas into law. This significant fact emphasises the importance of cohtinuing the grand and patriotic work of education without cessation, and for the purpose of deciding upon an organized campaign of education to be pushed vigorously till the next election it is thought necessary that a call be issued for a conference of the populists to meet at Indianapolis, Tuesday, Dec. 29th, 1896, at 10 a. m.. in room 35, English Hotel. All Silver Republicans and all other Money Reformers are earnestly requested to participate in the conference. Members of the People’s Party state central committee and members of the executive committee are hereby called to meet on the same day in room 35, of said Hotel. Important business. Julius Rosenheiner. Chairman.
