CORRESPONDENCE.

\ Bft uts berg. . Too late for last week. John Wallace contemplates building in the berg. Alfred Tilton of Wheatfield has rented Mr. Wallace’s farm and will move there in the near future. The switch has been enlarged and now holds quite a i large number of cars, much to the convenience of the hay owners. O. Tabler and Grube Pros, are pressing the hay on the Negro Ranch. The Alliance Lodge is booming, new members are being initiated at every meeting. - The party given by Miss Ola Sigler of Center was a veiy pleasant and sociable affair. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Jim says that “he just bets” that he won’t follow that old road of Mr. Shirer’s any more for he can’t afford to. lay off a day in each week to repair the top on his buggy

Hanging Grove Items.

Mrs. H. P. Overton whose sickess was mentioned a few weeks ago, is still con fined to her bed. Jimmy Parker and Anna Ablegore are added to the number on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Armstrong, of Michigan, are the guests of Alf Armstrong and family this week. Our blacksmith at Marlboro, Mr. Dedrick, is talking of leaving us in the spring. One of our school misses attempted to punish a large and unruly boy, when a hand to hand scuffle ensued. After 15 minutes the teacher surrendered and the boy passed out unharmed. Another teacher in this township, however, succeeded in wearing out five gads on as many boys the same day, with no attempt at resistance being made. The last teachers’ township institute for the present term, will be held at Center, next Saturday. Milroy English has hired Jacob Parker’s engine and is sawing wood. J. R. Philips has his feed mill at Marlboro in running order. The mill is operated by Reed Banta.

From Pinkamink.

Protracted meetings have closed. There are four candidates for baptism Feb. 22, from Barkley Chapel. Miss Tillie Burns is soon to bid farewell to Barkley ites and Hoosierdom, arid take up her abode in the sunny clime of Kansas, but we don’t think the sunny clime has anything to do with the case, it seems to be a “sonny” youth. We understand that Mr. Stanley’s temperance work caused hundreds to take the solemn vow of abstinence from acoholic beverages; we do hope it will prove a lasting good, and be another wedge driven into the holes of dregradation and moral depravity to help busrt then asunder and destroy the evil they generate. Jack Willey has so far recovered’ from his recent illness as to be able to drive out occasionally, and if his driver has anything to do with case, a relapse now would certainly be heart disease. We have started another , milk wagon with J. M. Richmond as driver. Mr. Nolan’s family were given a surprise dinner, last Wednesday, by friends who regret their departure and send with them best wishes. Farmers have ceased perforating their farms for natural gas, as it can now be had in bulk or small lots at Moonshine. The long pending case of Brown vs. Willey has been compromised: George agrees to have a fat hen roasted and Jack is to tune his Lyre—and paralyze the man that says McGinty. Here is what we found in a school marm’s scrap book: “He kissed my brow and Ups and cheek, So enraptured was I, I could not speak; He nestled my head upon his breast. And hugged me, tiU-he busted his vest.” Chipmunk.

From DeMotte.

A number of school children are absent on account of sickness with colds. Our other sick people are improving slowly. The teachers held their institute at DeMotte school house Saturday. * Four teachers present and rendered their subjects in a creditable manner. One teacher absent on account of sickness the other . The ladies interested in the new church building are preparing to give a box social next Saturday evening, at the school house.. Anyone wishing a good supper woulc do well to call around and thus aid in the good work. Sayl vou had better send in your order for cheese. Last week a very modest, unpretentious looking individual stopped off at our station and took lodgings at the Troxell House. He desired a suitable location for a cheese factory, and spent a couple of days in looking over the surrounding country. Last Saturday morning he “took

a walk.” We suppose tie is still looking for a location as nothing has been seen or heard of him since- About the time of his disappearance Landlord Troxell’s pocket book containing money and papers to the amount of S3OO also “took a Whether the two started off together or not we know not, but they are both gone and—well we don’t like cheese anyway. A considerable racket was heard Monday night northwest of town.; The sound of drums and horns, the firing of guns, rattling of tin pans, jingling of cow bells and the cheering of small boys all made sucn a' din as would suggest an old time chrivarie. Guess somebody must have been married lately.

Longfellow’s birthday, which is the 27th of this month, will be observed with appropriate exercises m all the rooms of the public school. It will be a good place to spend a pleasant afternoon. About 50 or 60 invited guests assembled at the pleasant and hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Culp to witness the marriage of their daughter Jessie to Mr. James Thompson. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Goodwin, of the U. B. church. The contracting parties are well and favorably known and begin the journey of life together under pleasant skies. Mrs. Joseph Larsh and her nephew Master Bert Shepherd, assisted in a grand concert at Kentland, on Wednesday evening of last week. Miss Mabel Parker is visiting with her father in Indianapolis, and her cousin, Miss Grace Maxwell, at Irvington, where she is attending school. A lady living in Idaville, whose mind must have been raised above sublunary things, left her pocketbook containing fifty dollars lying on the seat Of a car when she left the taain at- Reynolds. It fell into the hands of an honest man coming to this place. He turned it over to agent Morris, and he by dint of telegraphing, found the owner, Mrs. McConahay, of Idaville. Last week an aged and infirm gentleman from the eastern part of the state, who had been visiting friends in Missouri, while half asleep, left the cars at this place. He had no money and his ticket had been taken up or lost and his condition was truly trying. A few charitably disposed men. about town made up money enough to tai e him on to his lome by the next train. On Monday of this week there came a letter enclosing the amount donated, which was indeed a surprise as such instances are rare.

WINDY DICK.

Miss Gertie Green, who has been very sick for more than a month, is slowly recovering. Miss Maggie O’Connor is sufferng with a serious affection of the >rain. Her condition is such that ler friends fear she will have to be taken to an asylum. Township Institute met at the school house last Saturday. There was a full attendance and an interesting program.

Mr. L. Hawkins went to Hammond last Thursday to look after business interests. His partner, Wm Rich, is at home for a little visit, also Mr. P. H. Lally. Frank Clowery has had enough of city life and came from Chicago back to the rural districts, last Saturday. Miss Lucy Ream entertained a number of her young friends last Saturday. Elder C. W. Coopery of the Christian church, has been seriously sick lor a few days past. We are sorry to state that Messrs. Ream and Shearer and their families, will leave us in the near future, for Marion, Ind. While we are sorry to part with them we hope they may find the new move a good one. Mr. Ream will leave his farm near town in charge of his son William. The pupils of the public school will give an entertainment in Durand Hall in honor of Washington’s birthday, the proceeds of which will be used in purchasing additioaal books for the library. The exercises will naturally be somewhat patriotic in character and will consist of a flag drill, the states and territories all being represented and all take part in the drill. There will also be several appropriate recitations and the entertainmet will doubtless be very pleasant. Mrs. J. C. Dickerson will assist in the training. of the pupils and in the necssary preparation for carrying the affair a successful issue. JRkmimgtonian

PROTECTION VINDICATED BY EXPERIENCE.

There is much of method in the persistency with which free trade attorneys continue their misrepresentations of the terms and effect of the existing tariff law. Confronted by the fact that every industry hitherto adequately defended against foreign competition long enough to become established on a firm basis has responded by a lowering of prices, these brevet Cobdenites seem determined that the recently enacted law shall not have opportunity for adding one more proof to the unbroken chain of evidence as to the economy of supplying the home market from adequate home resources. Scarely a day has passed, since the passage of the McKinley Bill was assured, without seeing the columns of the opposition press on both sides of the Atlantic loaded with denunciations of that m easure, and prophecies of business disasters that were to follow its enactment. First in the list of calamities was to be the loss of foreign trade as a result of refusal of foreign manufacturers to pay the increased duty exacted in the case of a few articles, notwithstanding the fact that more foreign products than ever before were put on the free list And how has this prophecy been fulfilled? Precisely as every other one promulgated by the free trade cabal: experience has shown it to be false. Of course foreigners grumbled, as they always have done, at having to pay for the privilege of competing with our citizens in the markets of this country; but their anxiety to continue business was by no means abated. The first month’s business under the new tariff showed a considerable increase of importations over the corresponding month in 1889, and this increase was practically confined to dutiable articles. It further showed that these same foreigners, whoso trade it was prophesied would be withheld from us, bought from the United States very considerably more in October, 1890 than they did during October, 1889, and that they increased by forty-seven per cent the average of their purchases from this country during the preceding ten months in 1890. "Vain© of exports for first ten months in 1890, $660,530,49; for October, $97,061,504.

To this complexion comes the scarecrow of diminished foreign trade under the operation of a irotective tariff; and foreseeing the same fate for all their prophecies of business calamities, the enemies of our protective policy are now industnouly working to prejudice sentiment against the existing tariff, law before the wisdom of its provisions are more fully vindicated by the increased prosperity that is certain to follow its retention on the statute book, —and that, as they very rightly fear, in time for influence upon the result of the next national election. Nothing has proven so serious an inpediment to the successful propagation of free trade ideas as the imperious logic of history,—nothing so much annoys the free trade theorist as to be confronted with the solid facts of business experience.

IMMIGRATION.

The Report of the Select Committee on Immigration* and Naturalization and the record of the testimony taken has been issued from the document rooms at Washington. The work is voluminous having about 1100 pages and containing statistical information of great value. The testimony of Terrence V. Powderly and Samuel Gompers of the Jhbor organizations are extensive and interesting. There are many diverse opinions expressed by the various witnesses but the most popular idea and one ad vocated by the labor organizations is that favoring liberal treatment of voluntary immigrants with a rigid law against contract .and pauper labor. Samuel Gompers coni plained of the defects

in the present law passed four years ago. He claimed that provisions for its enforcement were lacking and that a proper sentiment did not back it. If it were given out in foreign countries that objectionable immigration would be prevented, that abuse would cease. He commended the rigid surveillance and efforts made to prevent the violation of the tariff law and thought that an equal effort should be made to prevent the importation of contract labor. The investigation has already accomplished much good in calling attention to the defects in enforcement of the old law. The new bill will certaintly prove satisfactory. Hon. W. D. Owen has acquired a national reputation in the work he has so faithfully performed and the report will be an object of pride to himself as well as to his friends. —Lcgansport Journal
