Town Convention -The Republican voters of “the town of Rensselaer are Requested to meet jn mass convention, at the Court House, on Saturday evening, May 2nd, 1885 at 8 o’clock, sharp, for the'purpose of nominating a ticket to be voted for at the town, election of May 4th, 1885. . Many Voters. The very latest reports from General Grant, are scarcely so favorable, as for a number of days previous- 'On Monday he was strong- enough to go out riding and to walk unassisted down the stairs And across the side-walk. Next Monday is the General’s sixtythird birthday f and the city of Louisville has takeh the initiative in preparing to publicly celebrate the day. _ * ' . , The law prohibiting gambling on county fair grounds, passed at the late session of the Legislature, is one that has long been needed, and can not be too promptly and stretly enforced. The skin games, ofjdiverse kinds, which have heretofore been so generally allowed upon fair grounds in this state, can not fail to have a strongly demoralizing tendency upon the boys and young men, who attend the fairs, and it was high tiipe that the law should interpose for their suppression. The Shively bill, regulating the practice of medicine goes into effect September Ist, 1885. It provides that U 3 one shall practice medicine, surgery or obstetrics without first procuring a license from the county clerk. The qualifications necessary for procuring a license are: A diploma of graduation from a reputable medical college; or, continuous practice in the si ate for ten years preceding the taking effoct of tlie law; or, three years’ continuance practice with one year’s attendance upon medical lectures prior to the taking effect of the law. . The March number of the Public Herald, published by Lum Smith, of Philadelphia, contains, among a vast amount of other valuable and interesting matter, a full exposure of that chief of scoundrels, whom the Herald well calls, “The Beastly Fraud”, “Dr.” Hale, publisher of the “Health and Home”, of Washington, D. C. The Herald is a spicy and vigorous sheet, and makes a distinguishing feature of exposing all kinds of frauds and swindlers, throughout the country. We hope it may long continue in the good work, and that the press and public will give it a liearty^upport.

Tlie to!lowing circular lately issued by the Civil Service Commission, does not contain much encouragement for office seekers,' l>e they either Democrats, Eepulicans or Mugwuinps, but if it has the effect of turning some of the place seekers into more independent and self respecting modes of gaining a living, it will not have been issued in vain: , “We have information that in many pf the states the numbers applying to .be examined are greatly in of lybat is needed to secure competent persons for all vacancies likely to occur for at least six months. While there wiilprobably be a considerable .number of removals the vague expectancy of sweeping changes for the purpose of partisan patronage -does not seem likely to be realized. .The. commission does not wish to be responsible for the many disappointments Wljtieli must follow tpe examination of a needless number. The requests for examination are most exces«Jive in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Guiiy.lllinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas) Colorado and California,’’

During the past week the reports from' General Grant have been of so favorable a character as to afford a slight basis for hoping for permanent recovery, although the rqorei general opinion seems to be that the improvement is only temporary, and that, at best, but a few months of life remain to our greatest citizen. The state of Illinois adopted a rigid law regulating the practice of medicine, some years ago, and new roads had to be ‘ opened to accommodate the tide of quacks and all sorts of crooked, cranky doctors who had to get out of the state, for the state’s good. The law just" passed by the Indiana Legislature is not so stringent as the Illinois law; nor will it, probably, be so effective, although it cannot well fait of doing able good. A dozen years or so ago, before the Indian, problem had been brought to a final successful solution in this country, and while great Indian wars, now happily passed forever, were frequent, there was no end to the encomiums lavished upon the alleged successful Indian policy of our Canadian neighbors, nor to the unfavorable comparisons between their policy and that of the United States. The truth of the matter is, however, that the American Indian policy has always been more generous and humane towards the Indians, thau has the British. The American government has always, so far as possible, recognized the right of the Indians to the lands they occupied, and has always sought to give them a liberal compensriion, when the

cause of civilization required that they should be dispossessed of their ancestral hunting grounds. Broad tracts of the finest - lands the sun ever shown upon have been set aside for their use and occupation, while countless millions of money have been paid for their support; and neither wealth nor labor has been spared in the efforts for their education and civilization. On the other hand, the British government, and its successor and slavish imitator, the v" • : Canadian government, has never acknowledged that the Indians had “any rights which white men were bound to respect.” The do not recognize that the Indians have any valid title to the lands they possess, nor have they made any effort, worth mentioning, toward their civilization. They have been ready enough, at all times, to supply them with weapons with which to murder their American neighbors across the border, and by that means have done much to secure their friendship; but as for any really wise and liberal Indian policy is the British and Cananians have never held any.

They have, heretofore, been practically free from Indian wars, it is true, but the reason for such exeruption has been because the vast, unsettled hunting grounds of the north have been so undesirable or so inaccessible for white settlement, that the Indians have •remained :in undisturbed possession, for almost a century. The advancing tide of white settlement .has been the true cause of all our Indian wars, and in the British possessions, north of us, this cause has not heretofore existed. Since the Hudson Day Company sold their rights to the Canadian gov eminent, some years ago, some progress has been made in settling the Manitoba region, and the result has been no end of trouble with Indians and half-breeds.

What I Would Like to See.

BY GRUMBLER.

I would like to see the Town Board pass an ordinance prohibiting persons from throwing ashes in any part of Washington street, 1 or in the gutters or ditches in any part of-town. They also ought to eauoo people to remove wood piles, brush, cans, manure, straw, &e., from the streets and alleys. I would like to see the Marshal enforce the statute by having all trees ]trimined, eight feet above the side walk?. I would like to see the Supervisors require farmers to cut their hedges to four feet in bight, where they are now ten to twenty, and hanging out over and obstructing the highway. They ought to be cut away, because they pro vent the roads from drying and becSmihg more useful: I would lire to see largo tile used for culverts, instead of plank. They would be morg durable and safer. .The grade could be raised high over them, and they would be protected from breaking by frost or the wheels of vehicles. I would like to see the Supervisors pay more attention to the draining oT the roads than grading mud holes. I would like to sec - old bilk drains, pieces oi rails and poles, removed from the public highways. asUhey are of - no use, and cause wagons and buggies to break down. There is one such box near Stewart Hammond’s, south of to wn, that Ido not believe a drop of watej has passed through for three years. I would like' to see the laws enforced against murder, theft, gambling, libel, prolanity-, indecency, desecration of Sunday, by iishiag, hunting, and all unlawful practices, that the people might lead peaceable and quiet lives.

A Clerical Visit to Wartner.

Revs. B. van Ess and W. Lubach, pastors respectively of ilia Rose Land and Lansing Reformed cliurclies, in Cook county, and Elder Iv. Madderon, also of Rose Laud, three estimable and educated Holland gentlemen, came to Rensselaer, Tuesday, to visit the condemned man, Wartner, whose evil state they had learned through -the Chicago papers. They found Wartner possessed of the idea that he would, in soine manner, escape the death penalty, and also little disposed to listen to religious conversation. They say that lie has had no training m religion and Is disposed to unbelief. Their earnest talk and prayers not without good effect on the murderers obdurate heart, and may. perhaps, lead him to take a more correct view of his prospects. They told him plainly that they saw no grounds for his hopes for a pardon, and that the sooner he made up his mind to accept that fact, the better. Their impression of Wartner was that he is a man of much natural mental ability, and especially shrewd and cunning, but that he is vicious and unscrupulous, and utterly averse to hard labor, as a means of liveli-liood.

The Review for May.

It is a curious fact that one of the most famous poems In our language appeared origiiufily in a magazine that seldom touches poetry at all, -and the. same periodical, after an interval of sixty-six years, now brings out another poem very similar in theme. Bryant’s ”T hanatopsis” was first printed in the North American. Review for September. -iBITF The Slay number of the Review, just out, has a poem by Robert Buchanan on “The New Buddha.” The critics found fault with Mr. Bryant’s poem on the ground that it was un-Christian: it remains to be seen what they will say' of Mr. Buchanan’s. The questions, “Has Christianity Benefited Woman?' is ably’ discu33od in this number by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Bishop J. L. Spalding. President J. L. Pickard writes on “Why Crime is Increasing,” and David Dudley Field on “Industrial Co-operation,” while Pfof. Andrew E, West, of Princeton, contributes an article of groat clearness and strength on “What is Academic. Freedom i ’’ James Payn, the English novelist, discusses “success in liction,” and T. F.- Thiselton Dyer “Superstition in English Life.” The new department of Comments keeps .well np to the standard wilh Which it started.
