Uncle George Major, of the Remington Press now wants his reward for the help he gava during the late campaign, by running a People’s Party paper, in a Republican community. He wants his son appointed postmaster in Remington and himself again to have the disposition of the Rensselaer postoffice. Well, the Mugwumps had their innings eight years ago at Cleveland’s first term, perhaps the pretended People’s Party Judases will get their whack now. Regarding a proposition that some one haa introduced in the State Legislature, the- Monticello Herald very truly remarks: “The proposition to let legal advertising and stationery contracts to the lowest bidder without any qualifying clause would not be in the interests of the people, however, much it might appear so at first blush. If coupled with a provision insuring legibility and a definite circulation for the advertising and a proper standard of workmanship in all printed matter some of the objections might be removed, but without any such restrictions the results would be anything but acceptable to the general public, to say nothing of the newspaper men who have a pride in their profession and are striving to make the country press a benefit and a credit to the State

It will be remembered that daring the late campaign, Democrats all over the state were asserting that certain liepublican state Senators voted in favor of the new tax law, upon its Jinal passage because they had voted in favor of agreeing to a conference report that was adopted after the final f passage of the bill. The matter was made especially 4 prominent in this section, and used against Senator Gilman, one of the very sturdiest opponents of the tax law that / was in the last legislature. Hon. Mortimer Nye, then Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, used the matter in his speech here, and the leading Democratic organ, the People’s Pilot , harped on the same string, and the chairman of the Democratic county central committee went aroond repeating what his organ had publisbed. Now, as it has happened, , early in the present session, a {rill jassed the House, was amended * .if'.. - .. **

in the Senate, and on the refusal of* the House to concur in the Senate Amendments it went to a Committee of Conference who agreed oa a report. In every instance taking the same course of procedeure as d-id the tax law in 1891. Remembering what the democrats had claimed about Republicans voting for the tax law, and that the state constitution makes it obligatory to read a bill by sections on its final passvge the Republicans raised the point cf order that the bill must be read by sections on the report of the Conference Committee as it was The final passage of the bill (according to what the Democrats claimed* during the campaign.) Mortimer Nye, ruled that it was not the final passage of a bill and Senator Magee said it was the sheerest nonsense to even argue such a silly proposition. Of course “the Republican Senators agreed with that ruling, and Senator Gilman expressed his pleasure that Nye had changed his views as to what was the final passage of a bill. How low will some people stoop to deceive the voters before an election, to win votes. The Pilot published Mr. Gilman as a liar because he said he voted against the tax law, well knowing that the liar was of its own household.

Again “Three Stars” Makes “The Gang” See Stars.

Editor Republican:— The “billy g-.at” the “crocodile smile” and the pious editors of the Pilot have had their heads together again.” The “pious editor” of the whaDg-a-doodle variety winds up an editorial comment on Ex-Governor Chase’s message and the Democratic tax law with “Cuss him, Marshall, Mills & Co.” During the campaign last year the Pilot defended the tax law but they wanted . Democratic indorsement and support for their ticket, then they got it and now McEwen is paying them back by telling some strange things about their principles. See Democratic Sentinel of week before last. Oh! Ah! Oliver Perry Tabor is not “dead in love” with the Pilot “billy-goat” odor, or that “Smile” for the post-office or the pious whang-a-doodle gang. Why should the county commissioners pay the “gang” for libeling them. The pious editor might quote “cast not pearls vbefore swine.” Ah, or they might turn and rend you, ah.” We wonder if the Pilot would complain if it got to print the tickets !! Republicans have said all the time that the new election law was costing too much and ought to be changed. It could be just as efficient as it is now, in ■preventing Democrats from Reding their votes. N. S. Bates had the post-office one term, now let the “Nowels family” have it awhile. McEwen thinks he will get it. Jessen knows who is to have it but won’t tell, only that “Honan won’t get it by a long ways.” Honan belongs to a church that has a “pull.” Please keep that in mind John, Jim, Dal aud Nat. McEwen has earned it and may get it if Turpie distributes that kind of plum 6. McEwen got left when Tom Wood was in Congress. He thinks the other Tom (Hammond) will do better, but Mac don’t know what kind of a paper the Secretary of the Democratic Gouuty Central Committee carries down deep in his pocket. Uncle John Makeever, who was willing to do “anything to beat the Republicans,” but pay out money, can walk down to a room under the Nowels Hotel to mail his letters. There will be “Democratic music in the air” and it will not sound just like tin horns after Now Bth. If there is not we can see * # *

THE DAILY ROAD BILL.

The most comprehensive road bill now before the State Legislature, and the one with the best prospects of becoming a law, is the one introduced by Reuben Daily, a member of the House road committee. The following is a brief summary of its provisions: Section T requires the township trustee to levy not less than a 10cent tax on each SIOO and not to exceed 25 cents, one-half of which rgust be expended in permanent road improvement. Sec. 2 provides for tile drainage of dirt roads. Sec. 3 requires pools arul cats on the roads to be opened and; drained after each. rain. Sec. 4'provides that all work may be let to the lowest bidder. Sec. 5 provides that in case work is not done by contract the trustee must place the material on the road ready for work, and requires trustee of advisory board to fix a stated task for each baud in lieu of two or four days’ work. Sec. 6 requires permanent work to be done on the most frequented and principal highways of the township. Sec. 7 provides that first-class highways, being the main throughfares of a county, are to be built by a tax of 50 per cent of the cost on the lands within two miles, and 50 per cent, by general taxation in the county, including ail towns and cities through which the road runs, on the vote of the people. Sec. 8 requires County Commissioners to classify roads. Sec. 9 requires commissioners

to order the levy to be made in not less than three annual installments, nor more than ten; contract not to be let until the levy is made. Sec. 10 requires township trustees to construct second-class roads upon the same plan of yearly installments, and no bond to be assessed in either county or township. Sec. 11 abolishes the road supervisor. Sec. 12 taxes bicycles and other pleasure vehicles $1 per annum for general road fund.Sec. 13 taxes inheritances of SSOO net and upward from 1 to 5 per cent, for roads. Sec. 14 puts a $lO tax on traction engines, timber wheels and protable engines. Sec. 15 taxes all franchises hereafter granted or renewed 1 per cent, of gross receipts. Sec. 1G abolishes the toll-road laws. .l Sec. 17 provides for working county prisoners upon tho .roads. Sec. 18 permits warden to put trusty convicts ou roads of the first-class. Sec. 19 appropriates all unclaimed fees for roads. Sec. 20 abolishes the concurrent, jurisdiction of Mayor iu cities under 16,000, in misdemeanors and State cases. Sec. 21 provides wife-beaters cannot be fined, but must work the roads. ___ Sec. 22 creates an advisory board of trustees, justices of the township aud one freeholder, who shall determine the amount of work to be done, and the task each citizen shall do in building the road. Sec. 23 provides how a day’s work is to be commuted to a specified task.

THE FACTS REMAIN.

Tho campaign being over, Grover Cleveland having been elected upon a free-trade platform, a majority in the House, and probably in the Senate, having been returned pledged to carry out the instructions of the National Democratic Convention, no figures or facts now produced can be sneered out of court by the Democratic press as “fictions of Republican invention, designed to delude voters into support of a tariff that taxes them.” They must be accepted as proof of the good effect of the McKinley bill, or must be proven to be false.

The Democratic platform said: We denounce the McKinley tariff law as the culmination of class legislation. » * » We deny that there has been any increase of prosperity since that tariff went into operation*

Except as to sugar and tin-plate, “that tariff” went/into operation Oct 6,(1890. The Textile World a trade journal of spun and woven manufactures, has just published its annual review. We will quote a few of its figures. “That tariff” called into operation 272 new textile memh factories during'the year 1892, aind gave new employment to neatly 32,000 persons in the name period. The account stands thus; : *

The Democratic platform denounced “that tariff” as the culmination of class legislation. But the facts show that the Southern group of States were benefited by it to the extent of thirty-nine new cotton mills, the New Bogland States to the extent of twentyfive. the Middle States to the extent of seven, and .Illinois, and Indiana, to the extent of one each. The Southern gentlemen in the Democratic however, did not represent the enterprise and industry of their States; they represented the inertia and oli-. garehism of them. The Textile World, an authority oi such eminence as to have gained

the indorsement of the Chief, of the Bureau of Statistics for the , National Treasury, to have ..been quoted by President Harrison in a message to Congress, and by members of both parties in Con--gressional debate, speaks oi: The year ending 1892, which we believe justly claims first rank of textile progress in the United States. During that year the Democrats in National convention said: We deny that there has been any increase of prosperity. , ___ ___ Some one has blundered or some one has lied.

Senator Gilman and His Red-Headed Barn.

Indianapolis Sun. One of the most pleasing characters in the senate is Senator Gilman, of Goodland. He looks to be very old, but is barely past 58 years. His hair and beard are white, which is a peculiarity of his family on his mother’s side. His mother’s brother was white haired at 28. The senator looks as solemn as a quaker minister, but upon acquaintance one sees a merry twinkle ia his eye and he loves a good story. “You want something about me, do you?” he said to The Sun, Monday morning. “Well, I am a new Yorker by birth, have always been under petticoat government and find it a first class thing. When I was three years of age jny parents took me visiting to Essex county, New York. I met a 2-vear-old girl with hair as red as a fox’s tail and eyes as black as could be. I imniediately_fell in love with her and wanted to take her with me. My parents wanted to substitute a rag doll, but that did’nt work. After promising her that I should return to see her soon I went back home. At the age of 171 saw her again. Her head was still red, her

eyes were still black and I still loved her. Before I was 21 we were married and came west at once. We lived in Minnesota seven years, in Illinois two years and have been in Indiana ever since. We live on 140 acres of land near Goodland and have plenty to eat and wear. I never said a word to my wife about her red hair until after we were married. She declared it was'nt red, but auburn. I had my barn painted as near the color as possible, and it is known all over the county now as the “auburn barn.” Senator Gilman began his political career as township trustee, then clerk of the circuit court, and has been in the legislature since ’79.
