The three cent street car fare bill for Indianapolis passed and is now a law. What have we to offer capital but perpetual servitude? Remember. “bonds are instruments of bondage, and bondage implies servitude?”

The old park theatre of Indianapolis, the oldest playhouse in the state was totally destroyed by fire Sunday night. It will be rebuilded at once. Mr. McKinley is starting out as a wonderful party harmonizer, and in consequence every patriot in search of a place is feeling renewed assurance. A Washington writer, close to the president, states that every surviving member of the 23rd Ohio Infantry, McKinley’s old regiment, is a candidate for office.

President McKinley has start ed in with a new method for dispensing patronage. He will not recognize favorites of any faction, but when factional differences do exist, applicants from those sections must bear the endorsement of both senators and representatives.

Governor Mount refused to sign senate bill No. 21, authorizing the issuance of additional bonds to complete the Jasper county court house. As he did not veto the bill, it of course becomes a law. Evidently the Governor did not think it a very meritorious measure.

Col. Bob Ingersol was held up in Chicago Sunday night while walking to his theatre where an SI,BOO audience was in waiting. The stranger demanded some of his cash and in reply was given a right and left hander that knocked him dlean out, when Robert proceeded as if nothing had taken place.

When we see announcements that the Association of Methodist 1 Clergymen of the United States, said to number 15,000 in membership, is to hold forth at LaPorte beginning June 15th, the public begins to iuquire if this is another trust or combination to perfect methods for enforcing collections on delinquent quarterage.

They say horses are bringing a little more of late, but how many more it takes to lift a sl,000 note from the bank than it did 15 years ago or rather, how many more horses can a 11,000 mortgage raise than it ever could before? Some folks would call this getting more horse into the dollar. A strong healthy horse is nothing compared to a robust healthy, capacious dollar. When the fierce flames were marching with resistless fury through the heart of Chicago l years ago* the terror stricken peopld fled in blank despair before the scourge, helph ssly bewailing their »ad faie. The

wisdom of the engineer who saved the threatened city was worth more to Chicago than all rhe money loaned by syndicates to rebuild the waste places. The lesson of this is that there is other capital than CASH. Cash is the most expensive capital we can employ. Let us procure an inventory of all the capital we have and see what cash will be required.

Learn Your Oppressor’s Secret.

How many thousands in all parties to-day would jump at the opportunity to take an object lesson requiring forty minutes time in which to see for hitnself that he has been a blinded slave to an ingeniously divised iilu sion which loses all its power to deceive when once exposed? And in fact there is no superior-' ity in rank because one of you fs labled Democrat, Republican. Populist or Socialist. You are all warring against each other, forgetting the fact that you are all each others’ customers, but lacking the Distributive Factor which combines your self interests with those of each one in the varied ranks of productive enterprise. • The populist thinks that money is the sole distributing factor. The socialist that ownership of the tools and land is the vital force to be conquered. The banker has adjusted his methods of business to make one dollar of money accomplish transactions which all others require 25 dollars to Effect. And no matter how small the volume of circulating medium is reduced, that one man can continue the faster to roll up his fortunes. He has gained the secret of distributive science and uses money only to transfer his profits. If the very same methods can be utilized by others in effecting transfers and exchanges of the varied fruits of individual toil and genius, is it not the part of wisdom to seek it? It can be found. It has been demonstrated time after time, and comes now as the long sought solution following the ineffectual paliatives of Grange, F. M. B. A., Alliance, trades unions, protective associations, merchantile associations, all of whom have left out the others, which in the economy of nature and business, are necessary to complete success. Why not direct your attention to acquiring that information and get into line with concentrated effort already at work, which by experiment and continued success is demonstrating that the key to escape from present environments has been found, and strange as it may sound, it is not in party politics.

Style In Literature.

It Gives a Flavor of Its Own to Every Sentence an Author Writes. “Not only is their thought, but their language is so much better than your average language,” says “Droch,” with reference to standard fiction in the January Ladies Home Journal. “I do not mean,” he adds, “simplycorrectness of speech, but something finer, that is called style. Style has been written about very learnedly by learned men.

In its highest development it is tne very essence of culture, knowledge and artistic temperament that gives a flavor of its own to every sentence that an author writes. But without entering into the subtleties of style it is surely evident to every reader of average intelligence and sensibility that there is a great difference in the manner of telling a story, for instance. It does not require a subtile mind to feel the difference in the telling of Hawthorne’s ‘Scarlet Letter’ and Hugh Conway’s ‘Called Back.’ By common consent Hawthorne is acknowledged the best master of style that America has produced. When you have read one of his Stories —no matter

how dark the crime that he has studied in it — you never feel that he has dragged down your thoughts. It is not only because he is a great moralist in his stories, but because he is a great master of style also. His language is elevated, poetic, fascinating. It makes the appeal to what is fine in your nature, rather than to what is gross.”

municipal Ownership in Belfast.

Washington, Mar. 9.—The city of Belfast, Ireland, has been making a large profit on the gas works controlled by it Last year’s profit was £67,377, ($336000). It has been decided to lower the cost to consumers, although the present price is ridiculously low, according to American standards. Hereafter gas will be sold for 60c per 1,000 ft. instead of 66c, and there will be a discount of from 5 to 20 per ct. dependent upon the amount consumed; all this, too with coal at $3.09 a ton.

When a dozen of eggs or a pound of high grade butter equal or exceed in value a bushel of corn, as they have for several weeks past, the farmer’s wife arises to a position of business import that is alarming to the head of the family, who sees he gets more for a case of eggs than he does for a load of corn. He feels this statfe of affairs more when he reflects that eggs are practically nearly all profit while his corn is raised at very little, if any profit, if his labor is counted. Alas! has it come to this, that there is more yearly profit in an humble, industrious, neglected fowl than in one of those rich, broad acres? And just notice how the tiller of the soil raises his hand in horror when his good wife asks fora dollar’s worth of lumber to shelter her chickens, but notice also that he will buy a whole raft of it to build cribs for corn that brings 16 or 17 cents a bushel. We know it is true on many farms this year the wife’s butter, eggs and poultry money has saved the family from real financial embarrassment. This department of the farm is at present attended by the women, the men being busy with other affairs v or perhaps thinking it too trifling a thing for them. It might be a good thing for them to give some time and assistance to these always profitable things. —Democrat Journal, Winnemac.

The big Chicago merchants unite in displaying an elaborate appeal to all the people of the country to unite in diffusing “confidence” throughout the land. A trick as old as confidence games themselves, pledging prosperity conditional on confidence, then appealing to the tribute payers to furnish the confidence. This is an age of “con” men, “con” games, “con” politics, and “con” politicians. It cannot exempt the machinery of any party from partaking in its sham pretension. Confidence! Confidence, and homeless idle victims.

Remington Notes.

John Barnett has been on the sick list for the past week or so, being confined to his bed for the greater portion of the time. The petition to the Board of Town trustees asking for the passage of the curfew ordinaire was presented last Friday evening. The petition was signed by about one hundred and fifty interested persons. After some discussion the prayer of the petitioners was granted, and the town attorney was directed to prepare an ordinance to govern in such cases, for presentation at the next regular meeting of the Board of Town trustees. . Interesting meetings were held in the Christian church last

A. NONYMOUS.

Sunday the occasions being devoted to the cause of foreign missions. The Sunday school contributed the day’s receipts, amounting to 43.42. The Christian Endeavor Society and the church proper contributed liberally also, so there was no trouble in raising the amount demanded from this church which was 25.00. Sisters Booher and Anderson the latter of Monti - cello were in attendance at all these meetings and both gave interesting talks. Sister Booher filled the regular Sunday evening appointment. Her discourse on the subject of missions was good. These two estimable ladies organized an auxiliary branch of the women’s foreign missionary society here under very flattering auspices, and much good is expected to result therefrom.

James U. Green who has been sick so long does not seem recover so rapidly as his friends would wish. He was however a little better a day or two ago when we last heard from him. Miss Lizzie Green sister of Ed N. Green of this place is afso very sick, at the residence of her brother.

Cleveland is out. McKinley is in. We are glad of the change but what will the Harvest be? For all except those in high places. Mr. and Mrs. Paine went to Chicago last week. When they returned they brought with them the little six months old daughter of Mr. Paine’s adopted sister. The father of the little one died a short time ago and the mother was not expected to live.

Mrs. Hattie Shepherd went to Chicago Monday. She will probably enter a hospital there for treatment. An early ex-president was elected justice of the peace after retiring from Washington. Cleveland need not begin to let his ambition vault itself on that account, though. The early expresident referred to was mentally and morally qualified for the office.—Chicago Dispatch.

A co-operative soceity in Chicago has abolished money. It is only fair to Mr. Cleveland to say that they were greatly assisted by him and his late secretary of the treasury.—Chicago Dispatch.
