REMSB&LAER REPUBUCAW. ij. BITTERS. Editor. ~ Friday Morning, Feb- 18, 1880.

Il 1* explained that the mtWire** thia winter iedoato thrfoelthat so- many of th< pianera are at prvaent eo comparatively near the earth. Thio in the aatrunooaical explanation at leaat. Aw the April election approacher one by one the leading BemocraU and Democratic journal* take their stand in opposition to the State conatitvtienal amendment* and ere Tong the rank and file of that party will be under their leadership. A registry law is a death blow to Democracy, hence their opposition io honest ejections. ‘ Jasper county ia.in the filth census district of Indi tn*. B. P. Walker, nf LaPorte, is district su- | pervisor. Those who want to' be township enumerators should make application to him direct. Cape. N. S. Paul, of LaPbrte, bon been appointed" clerk of the census : enumeration for the cnaCrict, a posi-1 tion which many warm personal ; friends in Jasper county think he! Is highly qualified^ o AHMr. Mat of Crown : Point, was in town this week, lie [ complimented the business men of ( Renss-il|er upon the improvements of list year in buildings. To » re- i porter of this paper he said dial as yet Lake county had not discovered a favorite son who was yearning | To be nominated for Congress by the ! Republicans, and thought lion. S. I P. Thompson stood high in public • estimation in that part of the I district. . | I The elevated railroads in New York city are becoming man traps nnd they will probably hare to pay ! roundly-in damages to injured pas* Mongers. Several suite tor large I amounts-are now pending in whteh > ‘the elevated r-oftds are defendants, , «nd tlie character of the accident i on Saturday morning of last week ' will rather help the plaintiffs.— “Open the throttle and let her slide along,” said the conductor, and , away dashed a train through the . »:4r at the rate of 30 miles an hour, | to jump the track at the first switch i and tumble into the street. Rev. Dr. Smalley, of Pottsville, ■ Pa., says ho never knew of a man 1 who professed repentance on what ; was mistaken for a death bed, but who relapsed into sinful courses on . his recovery. For this reason he believes that no man can prepare • for heaven in an hour, and that after of study he thinks that | the thief who died with Christ was a obri*lian before he cried out, ; “Lord*, remember me.” The life “ here is simply filled out in the hereafter, pursuing the same general j principle through eternity, accord- j ing to Dr. Smalley, whose views on this point are notlhosfe of con-' vebtional orthodoxy. Bob Ingersoll doesn't take- any stock in. “dark horses,” and says of ' ■the coming contest: “There will ' he no dark-horse business this lime. i That, was tried at Cincinnati, and j that style of borsitr has grown re-1 niarkably unpopular. We want a j horse of another color. W«e don’t want to elect a Hayes and then see , what will batch out.” All that' sounds very clever, but perk ape ‘it would be well enough to remember * that Lincoln was a “dark horse” and he proved to be one of the best : men that ever occupied the pres-' idential chair. With Blaine, Grant' and Sherman on the track, there will be but little room for “dark 1 horses’’ this year, and the Repnbli-1 cans will be generally satisfied to i have either man. Dr. Leon Ritchey, of Franklin,' son of Dr. Janies Ritchey, formerly i a resident of thio county, writes to his father that our townsman, Horace E- James, is a favorite with Johnson county Republican* for nomination for Secretary of States - Mr. James has been the recipientqf favorable meation by a large num I bcr of the Republican newspapers of Indian* and by correspondents of the Chicago and Cincinnati papers which circulate largely in the State. ■ Several Democratic papers have-algo made mention of his candidacy, ’many respectfully, some otherwise; none,. however, have assailed hie persoal character or questioned his qualificatiocs to perform the duties of the office in the event of his election. At the present time prospects look flattering for the nomination Mr. James.

For Prosecouting Attorney.

Perhaps it ia not g&erilly known that Frank W. Babcock ia a candidate fpr re-ehfectioa to the office of of thia Judicial diatrfcl. We have reason to believe that hie candidacy will be generally approved and that he will be supported not only by every lawabiding citizen of the Republican party but by many of bis political opponents. He has discharged the duties of .his office cavefially, impartially and successfully,and those who favor the suppression of high ■ landed crime generally admire bls 1 nr*e. He is an assiduous worker ' ,•: ..criminal'pleader, never goes noting around for the |

purpose of discovering the crookedness of his neighbors. His friends are and will -work for bi* election, befaring thU so ddhg they wilt serve thejbeet Interest* •fjthe petal '. The Fowler Era says “he fa a candidate for re-election, and has .the iaoido track, and why ahotrid ho nott His official record io good and public necessity demands such men kept in office.”

Simon P. Thompson For Congress

Bro. McEwen in last.week’s Sentinel has this to say of oar candidate for Congress: Mr. Thompson can gtr before the I Radical Congressional Convention the equal in standing and claim*of any competitor named. i The following is from the Fowler Erar Th* name of Simon P. Thompson ,is pubKely announced as a candidate for Congress, through the colI umns of the Rknssklaeb Rkpubu can.- Simon i* known by every matt, woman and child in Benton coanty, and needs no words by way of introduction from the Era. If nominated he will receive the largest majority ever given to any candidate in thia county. The Kentland Press, an independ--1 ent journal, copies from the Delphi Times, a Denrccralic paper The Delphi Times says that Simon P. Thompson, of Rensselaer has been in that city, and among other notable thingslhat Simon said, was, that “if elected be would be found on one side or the other of the Weaver bill, but declined to say on which aide.*' Simon, we have no doubt, regards the Weaver bill as eminently just, and if he objects to it all it is ‘ solely on the ground of expediency.” The Times and Simon are not very far apart after all, if we are correct in the above conjecture. Indeed, we are inclindd to think that the difference between Simon’s party and the Times’ party is so shadowy and indistinct that General Grant was justified in say" ing to a.Democratic orator who welcomed him at a boom: “AH the difference between us is, you. vote one ticket and I vote another, there is n> difference in the policy **f our parties.” The Democrats are out, and they act act solely on the ground of expediency in trying »e get in." The Republicans are in, and they act solely on the ground of expediency in trying to stay in; this is the only difference that we see between the two old parties.

REMINGTON RAMBLES.

L. Riley &Co. are contemplating giving up the marble business. A want of time to it the proper attention, is the cause. Will Price, a brother to Charley, is now on the sick-list. He.is not sufficiently ill to be confined to the bouse, but enough to make him look miserable. The popular temperance drams, “Ten Nights in a Bar-room,” will be rendered at Exchange Hall, next Friday evening, by a troupe from Reynolds. Owing to the great labor of moving and setting up the new 1 presses,the Reporter failed to come out last week. Good things fail occasionally despite to utmost human indurance. The .protracted meeting at the M.E. church was well attended last week and is continued through the present week. The United Brethren also commenced a series of public services last Saturday, Several of our young men are getting ready to emigrate to Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and other States. Unlike rainy of those who preceded them they purpose starting by daylight and leave no heart-broken creditors behind. Still another man exists -who deems bis moral character sufficiently pore to obtain a license to make drunkands,, ruin families and -increase tlie number of paupers. An application is to go before the qommissioners at their with th'at object in view. will be very likely to something to his disparagement at that time. *. ■ Tuesday morning opened out with a little more excitement than usuall ' First, Barney Patton and Dan Coleman had a slight “unpleasantness,” j which resulted disastrously for Bar- [ ney. The usual beauty of his face 1 is bow enhanced by sundry patches ofr court plaster. Two hours later | James G. Knight r forensa* of the J Hathaway Elevator, got entangled in the belts and came out with a leg broken, just above the ankle. As predicted in my last the hard roads of the past week have been improved to that extent that the grain houses are filled to overflowing with corn, and other places of storage pressed into the service. Downing’s bay barn now does duty as a granary. The average Hoosier detest* unloading grain with a scoop, and until the z warehouses can be cleared out a little, so the d»mpß can be used, corn-haalir.g will not boom.

A yuong man waa heard to re mark th* *ther day, “I am going to leave thi* d—-d town and go where j I shall aeve* see or hear anything l of Remington or a person who lives iin It.” Poor Remington I What will ahe do when be lakes bis departure? His preaence ia all that make* lifo here endurable or poaaible. Woe! woefto the stricken community frdm which he takes his handsome face and form diviue. Seriously, there are in this, a* well aa in other commnnitiea.one er two chaps who teem to be impressed with the idea that the world was created and now exists for the express purpose of doing homage to their beauty and importance. If they want toknowjpat bow much thev will be misted when they are • . ' . ’. i . . into a pan of milk .... dibcover th* holes after the same are withdrawn. W***

To Teachers

The first Annual Exhibit of School Work at the County Fair last year was a success. It was a creditable display when the general misunderstanding and doubt concerning the manner of preparation, the uncertainty of the exhibit being recognized by the managers of the Fair; together with the loss or displacement of a large part of the Work, and many other hindcrances, are taken into consideratiou. It has been determined to make a second exhibit this year and it iq, sincerely desired that each teacher of Jasper County will gladly and earnstly take the ffiaiter in hand and help it on to success. The object will be to show the work of each school, and every pupil should be represented by one or more specimens of written work. The following work is suggested: Geographical Maps, Historical Maps, Grammatical Analysis, Specmens of Penmanship and Drawing, Examination Papers of Arithmetic, Spelling and Geography. Any meritorious work done by pupils as school work is solicited. Observe the following: Ist. The paper used by the schools of each townships should be of uniform size and quality. 2nd. The questions tor examination should be short, precise and comprehensive, and the member in each branch should not exceed five. The question and answer both to be written by the pupil. The pupil’s name and age to be written on the npper right hand corner of each paP er \ o 3d. The papers of each school should be arranged in book form by means of ribbou or paper fastener* through the left hand margin. The first page should contain an index, arranged in alphabetical order, giving the names ofthe pupils and the page on which their work may be found. The second page should contain a preface to the volume, stating the number of pupil* in the class, the average age of the pupils, and the manner and time of preparing the work. The volume thu» formed should be covered with heavy manilia paper, with the Name of th* township, No. of School, and Name of the teacher neatly written or printed on the outside. In the arrangement and binding of the work each teacher must exercise his own taste and ingenuity. The premiums offered will be found in the premium list to be published by the Agricultural Association. It is probable that the following regulations wjll be observed: each township to form a el ass, and two premiums, first and second, to be awarded in each- township. In making awards attention will be given to the accuracy, neatness, form, time of preparation, and age ofpuprts. It is hoped" that a number of special premuim* wiH be effsred by school patrons. . All work must be prepared for exhibition and deposited in the office of the Superintendent on or before July Ist. 188/ The office—which i* witbthe County Auditor—wi]l be open at all times to receive work, till the date above mentioned.

A strong point inßlaine’s aweceseAd management of the ■ess recently to this: He found the sitaattowXo inwhtoh theßepab* cans apparently would haul to bd» gin • atop war ants fight fcr theft, rights. •By ski 11 Ail maneuvering and through the use of entirely peaceful methods Mr. Blaine’s gen--1 ins for afiairs and difficult situations baa brought about a transformation to a condition of things where (he Republicans have the whole government and power Of Maine in their hands; and the Democrats must'be?;in the fighting, if they want any, or a bad cause. Of course*they frill not fight any more now than hey did in 1876, but their, being outwitted, out-generalled and gradually forced from a position of advantage In the public buildings to roosting places,on tbe highways and by-ways of Augusta, proves the consummate ability that achieved a work so difficult. f

A Few Anti-Bilious Remarks.

We have purposely .kept still on the third-term business during four weeks past. When we began to offer arguments against it we felt awful lonesome, for papers that had the nerve to do it were scarce. Now it’s the other way; we feel lonesome while everybody, except the LaFayette Journal, is pecking away in opposition to the strong man boom. Come, boys, let up; don’t strike a man when he’s down. But keep your powder dry for the next round.—Attici Ledger. Don’t slop, we beg of you on our account. As long as we are in such good company as the Chicago Inter Ocean, the New York Times, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the Cleveland Ledger, the Pittsburg Dispatch, the Burlington Hawkeye, and a host of other “tried and true” papers we shall not ask for quarter. O, not Tune up your blasted lyre and sail in. But you ask which are the better Republicans, those wlfo say “Anybody but Grant,” or those who Bay “Nobody bat Grant?”— We will give you our answer.— Neither class are Republicans. No true Republican but that will heartily support the Chicago nominee, be he Grant, Sherman, Blaine ar Somebody else. We have said nothing against any candidate who has been mentioned that would prevent a hearty support if he was nominated. But can you anti-Grant, ,bull-dozing, dog-in-the-manger fellows say as much?
