It cost Massachusetts overall,000 to supply and distribute the official ballots at the late election, but. the result of the voting was such that she could have afforded to pay a considerably, larger sum for it. When a Speaker of the House becomes a “Czar,” a “corrupt dictator” and an “odious tyrant,’' siffiply because be insists tlmt “The Congressional Record” shall tell the truth, it lookaas though Czars and dictators and tyrants were what the country needs.

We are getting along hand, sornely.: — ! — — “ r “ Resolutions of various posts of the grand army of the repepublic, representing 10,000 ex-soldiers approving and endorsing “An appeal to the of the United States and representatives in Congress by Alvin P. Hovey, President of the service Pension Association of the United States of America” were presented to the attention of Cohgress by the Hon. W. 1). Owen, on Thursday last. The Evansville Journal furnishes this nut for all tariff reformers to'crack. “It is a little queer, but liver stoutest demand for rigidly protective duties comes from the Southern Democracy. They want their t ugar. their- peanuts, their vice and their oranges and tropical fruits nil strongly protected. Tennessee and Georgia want their marble and iron protected; but they are willing to have free trade in the things they do not produce.”

Ex-Senator Powell Clayton, of Arkansas made a speech in Boston last week, in which he advanced a new Southern idea, as follows; “I too ask you to give us your sous, as hostages, but as you gave them to the Territory of Kansas, when the same methods and practices were resorted to then as now to force upon unwilling people the rule of corrupt minorities, and I ask-you for that loyalty which, at all hazards and any cost, will see to it that the Constitution of our country shall not be dishonored or nullified, and that the fountain through which flows all our liberties—the ballot-box —shall be kept pure and undefiled.” The South is sunny and fair and tempting, but bleeding as Kansas bled. Why should not the young men of the North go down and occupy it to perpetuate the liberty of men, just as the free soilers occupied Kansas to block the advance of slavery? Herp is a new Southern idea of great force. The New York Telegraph declares that steel rails went down from $166 per ton in 1867 to $27,50 per ton in 1887. “All on account of protection,” says the war tariff apostle. “If that’s the case, what reduced them $5 more in the same time in free-trade England? They duck Their heads when that shot is fired.” ’Whereat the New York Press insists that there is no ducking of heads, “for our tariff brought down the English price, too. By 1880 our steel rail production had grown to 854,460 tons a year, exceeding Great Britain’s production by 730,000 tons. We became the biggest producer and the biggest market, and ocean freights were $5 a ton. Now we produce over 2,000,000 tons a year, and the price declines with our jmports and the iucrease of our production. Steel rails last twice as loDg as iron rails, and they' were cheap at $25 early last year as iron rails would have been at $3.57.” The meeting of the League of the State on Lincoln s anniversary, the 12th of February, at Indianapolis was a most enthusiastic one, and shows that the spirit and interest of 1888 is still alive and throbbing. Earnest and effective speeches were made by a number of prominent Indiamans. 'The annual address of President Wm. L. Tayloi was well received. “In llqc-Ainhqr, 1886, the Lincoln Lea? gue of Indiana was organized,” he said, “and at that time there were but few scattered organizations throughout the State.” During the year 1887 the organization was brought into shape and in 1888 its wonderful growth* was phenomenal, until the night before election 1.100 clubs had been organized. This remarkable showing means a great force and power for the party, and as many as possible of these clubs should be kept up and the organization continued from campaign to campaign. At this meeting strong resolutions endors-

' mg the administration were adop- ! ted and a complete reorganization etm.ded. The meeting was really the opeuiug of tfrS“cam paigxT of 1890, and all along the line the Republicans must be wide awake, be up aud ready for the work that i 3 before them. ' ' . ■ -

Perpetuating a Fiction.

, Nothing could be better than the following summing up of the fight in the House of Representatives, by Mr. McKinley. It is worth reading: “Gentlemen on the other side insist upon what? That they shall perpetuate a fiction—th.d is what it is—that they shall perpetuate a fiction because they say it is hoaiy with age, a fiction that declares that although members are present in their seats they shall be held, under fiction, to 'be constructively absent. That is what they are contending for. We j are contending that this shall be a fact and a truth, riot fiction,-and j tha t members who sit in their seats .in this hall be counted as present, : because they are present. (Applause on the Republican side.) They want the journal to declare a lie; we want the journal to declare the truth.”

The St Joseph’s Indian Normal School, Rensselaer, Indiana,

Was built in the year 1888, under supervision of Very Rev. J. A. Stephan, Director of the Bureau for Uatholie Indian Missions. Thy buildings appertaining to . the school are: The school-house, a tlnee-stpry brick-building with basement; four wings forming a square with a spacious court in the middle; the ice-liouse; a framebuilding, 80-25 ft., two stories, for shops etc; a large barn; several other smaller frame buildings for various purposes. Connected with the institution is a farm, consisting of 400 acres, partly cultivated, to afford an opportunity to the pupils, to learn the rudiments of agriculture. The entire cost of the institution is fifty thousand dollars, donated by the generous Indian friend, Miss Kate Drexel, of Philadelphia, Pa. The St. Joseph’s Normal School is at present in charge of the Fathers of the Precious Blood Society, an order for missionary purposes. Employees at the school now are: Rev. B. Florian Hahn, Supt., Rev. Anselm Smith, teacher; Bro. Henry Welsh, teacher; Bro. William Lear, teacher. William Grenlicn, mechanic; Innocent Moormann, farmer; Fabrieen Rees, tailor; Joseph Sliker, shoemaker, Frank Daniel; care of stock. Seven Sisters of Charity do the housework, cooking, sewing, washing etc. There are 42 boys at the school; viz. 19 Menominees, 13Chippewas, 8 Sioux, 1 Ottawa, 1 Pottawattomie. The Indian pupils are instructed in reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, United States history, geography, grammar, composition.’bookeeping, drawiitg, siuging, religion; then in the trades of carpentering, shoemakiug, tailoring; they have to work in garden, field and woods, take care of stock, to milk cows and feed the stock, under supervision of the employees, The pupils have also to assist the si sters, in washing, carrying water, etc. Tim St. Joseph’s Normal School is a chatitabic institution. We do not neglect to inspire the Indian youth with the same euthusiasm, that fills our heaits towards our country, the United States, on the contrary, whenever an opportunity is offered we speak to the Indian boys of the glories of our grand republic. We learn and sing with them patriotic, national songs; celebrate the legal holidays by keeping solemn services, ringing the large bell, distributing presente among them and speaking to them of the patriotism, which we the citizens of the United States, should have and manifest. Our aim aud our only aim is; to further the Indian cause by educating the Indiau youth, in order to make them useful members of our generation and generations to come r aud to render them fathfnl aud peaceful sons and citizens of our commonwealth; at the same time implanting and fostering true and positive religion in their youthful hearts, without whioo no civilization of the Indian is possible. May the friends of the Indian continue to assist us in our endeavors. Respectfully Yours,

Another and Yet Another!!

In another place in this issue’ will lie found the facts regarding the incorporation of a new railroad, to cross Jasper county. By the kindness of one of our merchants, we are also able to present some of the facts regarding another new railroad project, which lias Rensselaer as one of its probable objective points. The building of it is said to be a “sure tiling.” The following in regard to it is from the Standard, of Kendaliville, one of the principal towns, upon its line: The Improvement Bureau is in correspondence with the projectors of “the Toledo, Kendall vfile & Rochester Railroad, at Boston, Mass., and are much elated with the outlook and prospects of this company. This company proposes to build the road to Rochester and on to Gilman, 111., and intersect with the Illinois Central. provided some local aid can be secured. This aid is asked to show thnebnfidence~oF the public in the j enterprise as well as the pecuniary advantages. This road would run through Albion, Wolf Lake, IVttshingtoir township, Warsaw, Rochester —and by making a slight detour reach Wiilamac and Rensselaer, mak-! ing live county scat towns, and on southwest to Gilman, 111. The desirability of intersecting the Illinois Central, one of the largest railroad systems, can readily he seen when we consider the speedy transit-of grains Tditt other products Of central and J southern Illinois which this would 1 afford. The projectors ask information of individuals along the line con- | cerning the prospects of securing loj cal aid, their opinion concerning the prospects for business if the road is r built. 1, the... condition of the towns along the line with reference to their importance as markets, etc. To the above Tut: Rei>i;i!Lu:an will add that, although the line of this new projected road, as above described, will, between the towns of of .-Rochester and Gilmair. 111., be identical with that of several other proposed lines, including the Rochester, Rensselaer & St. Louis R. R., we are assured that it is an entirely new project, and has no connection with any of the older enterprises, at all.

And Still Another Paper Railroad.

And still another paper railroad has come to join the innumerable caravan of like enterprises which, in times recent and remote, have intersected Jasper county, (in the minds’ eyes of their projectors.) This last project is a little out of the usual order, for its proposed line does not intersect the county in either of the ; beaten paths of railroad projects, namely due east and west, or north ; and south', but has a northwest and i southeast direction. The company ! which proposes to build it, was incor- ! porated one day last week. Its title is the Union, Chicago <fc Omaha Ilail- | road Company, and it has a capital ! stock of $f),000,000 in SIOO shares. : The directors are: R. B. .Stone, of s Bradford, Pa.; M. Waters and A. J. j Ilazeltine, of Warren. Pa,; W. W. | Worthington, of New' York, and Jesse | Nixpn, of Mtmeie. - * The railroad will commence at Union City and run in a northwesterlj’- direction through Randolph, Delaware, Madison, Grant, Tipton, Howard, Carroll, White, Jasper and Newton counties, to the State line, terminating at Morocco. The road is to be 155 miles long. This route, if built, would naturally carry the road across this county somewhere about midway between Remington and Rensselaer.
