A great deal of space in The Republican, this week, is devoted to the discussion of the proposed railroad tax. But the editor believes that, in so doing, he, is but fulfilling his obligations of duty to rhe interests of Marion township and Jasper county. The railroad -articles, which we publish, this, week, are full of valuable facts and figures and we earnestly counsel every interested person to give them a careful reading, and to preserve them for reference until after the election, at least

The 4th at DeMotte.

Editor Republican.—The people of northern Jasper gathered in force at De Motto and enjoyed a first class celebration. Saving the failure of Col. De Motte to connect, everything passed off in good shape. The speakers were eloquent, the people enthusiastic, and patriotic, and the music, under the direction of Geo. S. Suild, was just splen* did. Miss Emma Roberson presided at the organ, with charming grace and efficiency. Capt. R. W. Marshall, of Keener township is a graceful and interesting Fourth of July orator, and, in the absence of Col. DeMotte, his address was a very satisfactory substitute for what was expected from the latter. Mr. j» W. Helmick, made a good president, of the day, and also two good speeches. Mr. Walter Harrington read the declaration of Independence, in an eloquent and scholarly manner. Mr. John Alter, of Union township, not. only helped with the singing, but made a “Dutch speech,” which took both the cake and crowd. Mr. Pierce, Dr. Antrim, B. W. Harrington, S. J. Bently, Wm. Tyler, J. F. Antrim, and others, helped on the good work, with singing, short speeches &c., until the special “Pull-man” hand car train got back from San Pierre, without Col. De Motte. Then dancing, foot racing and other games, furnished amusement, and occupation for the rest of the day.

The letter of Col. De Motte shows that he also was much disapointed in not being able to reach us. It was an unfortunate accident for which no one was to blame only the R. R. As soon as they learned that the noon train was not coming, as expected, Postmaster Bently and D. E. Fairchild, marshal of the day, promptly sent a hand car to San'Pierre, after the Col., but it got there a few minutes too late, he had gone. Below is the Col's, letter handed to the writer by Mr. Marshall,. to whom it was addressed. It is well worth perusal. Valparaiso, Ind, July 5, 1883. R. W. Marshall, Esq. Dear Sir:

As you are aware by this time, I was not present at the celebration at De Motte, on yesterday. Your postal card directing me to go by the way of San Pierre was received on the 3rd at 11 a. m., too late to reach the only South going train on the L. N-A. & C. R. R. My only chance was to make the noon train from San Pierre. I arrived at that place a little before 12 M. on the Fourth, and was told that the train would not run that day, and that I could not reach De Motte before night. 1 had esteemed the invitation a nigh compliment, and had carefully prepared myself that I might contribute as much as much as possible to the interest of the occasion, ahd was sorely disappointed that I was thus, denied the privilege Bl celebrating the national birthday, with the good people of that portion of Jasper county. Will you tender them, my regrets and assure them I did all in my power to fulfill the obligation, I had assumed. When 1 found I could not reach DeMotte, I went on down to Francesville, and joined the people there in Celebrating the day. Yours Truly,

Mark L. DEMOTTE.

W. H. H. Tilton.

Independence Day Reverberations

Rensselaer was magnanimous this year and allowed her more humble neighbors to take the fourth of July and do what they pleased with it Some of our people went to Rose Lawn, some to Cedar Lake and some to Chicago. Others took in Lafayette, mid still others did time at Goodland, and some tried hard to “get there” and couldn't Those who etaid at home found it so awfully dull in Rensselaer, that they; confidently expect Providence Io allow them another day for it, The People of De Motts in Northern Jasper were disappointed in not having Colonel De Motte with them, on the Fourth, for reasons explained elsewhere, but they had an excellent celebration notwithstanding. The Sunday school* picnic at Saylor*! School house was pronounced, by those who were present, to have been one of the neatest little affairs of the kind on record. The address of the Rev. James T. Abbett, in the forenoon, fairly charmed his entire audience, and called from those present a unanimous vote of thanks for the pleasure and the profit they had derived from Mr. Abbett’s efforts. In the afternoon short remarks were made by several parties, and a general good timo indulged in. Many Rensselaer people were present at the picnic.

Coming at Last.—Of course we, individually, never go to a circus for any purpose except, just to “see the annimals,” but nevertheless we announce, with a good deal of satisfaction, that a really first class show, and one with an established National reputation is coming to Rensselaer in a few weeks. The show is Sell’s Bros., and will exhibit here on Wednesday, August, First, —the very day of the rail-road election, by the way, a fact which will not be to the disadvantage of either circus or election. The “City of Tents” will occupy the base ball grounds.

The base ball boys propose giving an Ice-cream Festival and a dance, Saturday evening, in Makeever’s new building, for the purpose of raising money to defray the expenses of their proposed trip to Michigan City. They don’t wish to go there at the expense ot the county—the usual way, but still not popular.

Potatoe bug poison, at Meyer’s drug store. Canned Salmon, Lobsters and Mackerel, at Purcupile’s. At Purcupile’s restaurant will be found a full line of the best brands of California fruits, such as Green Gages, Apricots, Peaches, White Cherries, Muscat Grapes, Blackberries &c., all of which will be sold cheap. Finest line of perfumes, at Meyer’s drug store. . ... . The best buggies in the market, at Roberts Bros. A fine line of wall papers at Meyer’s drug store, that will be sold at low figures, to close.
