The spirit which will condemn ’ ahd ostracize a man, and stigmatize him as a“J ay Gould, *’ and 1 old him up as unworthy of public.confidence and unlit for public trust, simply because, after half a lifetime of industry, energy and good managemenHxe has hofiorably acquired a modest competence, is i identical with that of theCominunists and Nihilists who believe that i every 7 man who is. in any considerable degree richer than his fellows, ought to be exterminated from the earth and his substance divided among his less prosperous neighbors. It is different only in degree from the spirit of the red mouthed Anarchist, Most, and his disciples, the men who threw the murderous bomb among the policemen of Chicago, and all but succeeded in their hell-born scheme .to pillage and lay waste to the whole city. Men who resort, to such mean s such doctrines es we have indicated, whether •rdance with what they really ieve, or are merely assumed for a temporary purpose, are not the TjßQhem'ierv society and deserve in this respect and should receive, the reprobation of all right mind-

The Small brothers, Bert and Will are the publishers, while their father, the Rev. Gilbert Small, dcjCupies. the editorial chair.

This rate will, undoubtedly, produce sufficient revel.

The special levy for the county jail is (‘ontinu-'d for another year. It will yield enough to entirely wipe out the balance of the debt on the jail building, and probably’ a few hundred dollars in excels of that sum. .

The Hon. J. H. Huston, paid a deserved tribute to the Republican press of Indiana. He recognizes wha’t.so very few politicians ate willing to acknowledge, napiely, that political success is very largely dependant upon the hearty and earnest co-operation of tile party papers. He says, and justly too, that, ‘“their influence is worth all else combined,” and adds, “I would not enter upon this work with any enthusiasm without feeling that I should be granted the active 1.-dp <•£ ihe He.puidican Us course - die does not refer to those luke-warm papers, whose editors are so preeminently piiiih, they sit on the fence'and wait to see what way the cat jumps, and then take oil’ their hats ami vociferate extravagantly in longwinded and verbose editorials.

At the meeting of the State Pharmaceutical Association; a| Lafayette, last week, the following eminently wise and truthful resolution was unanimously adopted: iu-xulvrd, That it is the opinion of the Indiana Pharmacists that the sale of alcoholic liquor ifi the State is not sufficiently restricted, and that this Association , favors strict laws applicable to all who hauuie liquor, druggists not excepted. The druggists are eminently correct in the above resolution, but they stopped too short. They should have included all intoxicating liquors within the scope of their resolution. The demand for more efficiently restrictive laws in regard to intoxicants is well nigh universal, throughout the state; and we believe that it is not only the duty, but in the highest sense, the i Merest oft he Republican part y the party pf progress and reform, to take a pronounced stand in the state, this year, in favor of such >eatrictiye laws, ,——— ... i * , Hemphill &, Honan’s for your carpets. ‘■ ■ I

More About the Hoover Controversy.

As The Republican stated in a late issue, there are a few points in Mr. O. B. Mclntire’s hte open letter in the Remington A'cms in regard to the Hon. Fred Hoover, whichxequirg some further notice at our Landsi ’ln the first place Mr. Al< littire i-wu-<'s himself from giving tile “whole history” of the ease oh the grounds that it would “tiring in the names” of parties there who have furnished jthe fal>t- information iVc. If Mr. Mcjntire knows of any’ persons who havo furnished false informatjoii against Mr. Hoover, we most earnestly desire that he will expose them, nt < nice. We know of no such per.-i< >ns, nor do we believe that jylr. Mclntire does.The‘ihsin.uation that some enemy of Hoover in Rcmijigtou has furnished us with information of any kind is entirely without truth. We have heard statements a&M-p the general facts of certain of the charges against Hoover from men who were about as friendly to that gentleman as is Mr. Mclntire, while our information that the charges wereof a very serious character, and that they would have prevented Mr. Hoover’s confirmation, enme directly from Washington, and from a gentleman whose -qualities for truth and veracity w e would place in the scale with those jrofron'v of slr. Mclntire but of any person -in f&e “couhtryp^and l who xvas in a vastly better position to know what ho was talking about, than, perhaps; was Mr. McIntire, in some of his very positive assertions. Mr. Mclntire says that he knows nothing about the nature of the cliarge.s that were preferred against Mr. Hoover, and he yet do--clares that Mr. Hoover did not resign on account of them. How does it come that Mr. Mclntire can he so : ure of that fact? How does lie know what charges may have been preferred ; against him from the agency? The article from the Indian Journal, xvhich we reproduce below, is pretty gqpd evidence that there was great dissatisfaction with him at the agency, and it is more fjiau probable that that dissatisfaction took the form of charges against him. How does Mr. Mclntire know xvhether Mr. Hoover xvas not aware of serious and unanswerable charges, of which he said nothing to. anyone in Reiniiigton? . ..T;, T

Below we give ah article which v.e haieeui from a Th- copy 6* the Arkansas City Trace Iler, a paper published in Cowley county, Kansas, which joins tire t wage reservation on the south: The Indian •J-mrmttl-, in whieii the articlewas.originally published, is issued at Ockmulgee, in the Creek country , We do not profess to know whether any of the statements in the article regarding Mr. Hoover's conduct at the agency are true of not, but we do claim that the fact that such an article could have been given general publicity in the immediate ucinity of Mr. Hoover’s oilieial location, is pretty conclusive proof that the statement that alt the charges and accusations made against him originated in the malice of Remington parties, is entirely false. The following is the article referred to:

An Unfortunate Appointment.

A writer ip thd Indian Journal, who signs himself A. J. Greenway, get® after Agent Hoover in the following lively manner: “It sometimes becomes necessary to complain against government officers, and 1 have a complaint against Fred Hoover, agent lor the Osage tribe of Indians, who hails from Jasper county, Indiana. In the first place he obtained his appointment under circumstances that were dark aud vain. *** *. Now that agent is one of the most unqualified men that could be given the appointment. His office shows that none vs his official documents are correct, and that he was unable to post his cllyk into the ways of the office, owing to* his stupidity. -I-lie laborers w hich are hired by -tip quarter are not paid for the quarter? ending March 31, 1886, and the semiannual payment for the Osages is defer-

red because he and his clerk were incompetent to pfake out the necessary papers to bring the payment about. He came out to the ag<-nc v broke, and borrowed SI,OOO from a certain trader at the agency. When called upon to investigate certain charges against said trader, he only examined the witnesses that the latter recommended apd ignored those who were pointed out tq him, and then made out his report “qxparte.” He has no friends at the agency. He has shown iiimself to be incompetent in business aft’airs, as hn had everything mortgaged at home and expected to.realize a fortune out of bis office among the Osages. He imposed on good meif who went on his~ temporary bond, but who soon repented of their action and witlidrew, though unfortunately too late to get clear of his ignoraace practifod. for several months. He resigned, but no wonder. His bickers dropped him as he could not be coniirmed for several reasons. One was that whilst acting as state senator for Indiana, he was on a certain committee and that committee swindled the state out of thousands of dollars in a penitentiary affair. Another was that he is. known to be incompetent, and if hehad been conlirmed he would not have been able to give the - required bond. There could not have been a poorer man sent west by the democratic party if they had hunted all over christendom. It is a pity that the present administration has fallen into such a mistake to. send a mullet head so take charge of such a responsible position as agent of the Osage tribe, which draws $250,000 per annum. Parties sometimes make mistakes, but thin is a big one for Mr. Cleveland’s administration.

How Horace Gave Himself Away.

—The first certificate of entry as second class matter at the postoffice at Rensselaer, in accordance with section 199 of the Postal Laws and Regulations, was given by’ Postmaster Bates, on Monday, to the publisher of The Message.— This paper is the only one in Rensselaer that has ever complied with the law in this particular, although the la#' has “been in operation since 1-879.---Jl/cs.wpt’. The above is an admission, then, that “the publisher of the J/ess(t (je," who was transferred from the guano beds of Turk Island to the post-office in Rensselaer, the year above mentioned, where he clung like a leech up to within a few months, during all these years was either ignorant .of, or engaged in wilful violation of the section which makes it the duty of postmasters to direct the attention of publishers thereto. We remember distinctly, on -first seeing the announcement by some papers .that they “entered as second class matter,” we inquired of the then postmaster—present publisher of the if that procedure was required by law, and he gave us an emphatic NO. — Democratic Sentinel. - : :

Commissioners and Eqalizers.

The County Board of Equalization took a recess last week, from Thursday noon, until Monday mornings of this week, when they met again, with a full board present, and resumed the Herculean task of equalizing the assessments of the county. They completed their labors yesterday morning, but it is not practicable to give any satisfactory account of their proceedings until another week. The Board of Commissioners resumed their Tegular work, Thursday afternoon. The license saloon application case of John G. Reynolds, of Rensselaer, occupied all the afternoon, decision not being given until the next morning. The uemopstrance in the case was withdrawn bfefore its hearing was taken up, but the case still attracted so' much attention that the Board were obliged to move up into the circuit court room, to find space for their numerous auditors. The decision was ill favor of the applicant. The work of passing upon the township tax levies for the current year, and examining the Auditor’s annual financial exhibit occupied a large portion of Friday and Saturday. Numerous miscellaneous claims against the county were also disposed of.

Some Important Points About the Health Laws.

Editor REumsLiCAN.—I wish torsay a word to our people concerning a part of the health law of our State, which seems io be not-well understood. The heated term is upon us, and-it becomes iis-ns citizens..and sanitarians tohse but to maintaiwthe heaithfulness of our county and prevent epidemics of disease, watch _ m^'fiihmpsTrwyat-tlris..season, especially, by indifference and carelessness. On several occasions when riding through the country I have observed dead hogs, dogs Sffil CthW" dead- MJte casses cast upon the roadside to decay up.buried. Such things are anything but creditable to our people, are dangerous to health and can not further be allowed unpunished. Do our people not know that putting or leaving any dead animal, however small or large, on the public highway or anywhere else is a violation of State law? •It is made my duty to punish such violation, and after having called attention to the matter in this way, I shall be obliged to prosecute any persons who disregard the law. Those who wish to know what the law is fully on the subject, I refer to Sees. 2068 and 2072 of Revised Statutes of 1881. Any person knowing, at any time, of any dead carcass not buried, will please report tb me. . F. P. Bitters, Sect. Co. Health Board.
