Poor Uncle Isaac Pus'ey Gray! He wanted to be president, then vice-president, then in the cabinet, then a first class mission, and now he can’t get even the mission to Mexico unless he begs for it of Gresham, his hated and more supple political-acrobat rival; and probably not even then. Alas poor Uncle Isaac! It looks as though he would have to content himself with a mail route agency.

While there may be and no doubt is,, much in the character and disposition of President Elect Cleveland to command respect, there is much also, of an opposite character. Take, for instance, his action four years ago in violating al! established precedents and the rules of common .courtesy, when he abandoned the 'Whitehouse before the inauguration of Harrison, and left no one there to receive Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, but a lot of insolent servants, several of whom were so -drunk that they had to be removed iby the police. The conditions •of things are now reversed and Mr. Harrison and his family will not return Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland’s inexcusable boorishness in kind, but will faithfully observe the requirements of Courtesy, ant show the Clevelands how ladies and gentlemen should conduct themselves.

4 SOFT ANSWER TO TURN AWAY WRATH.

The hired young man of the Pilot devotes nearly three columns towards establishing the truth of what we said last week, in saying that he w r as of that envious, narrow minded class, who considered every competitor in business a villain. He only mentions one new point in his article and that is the only one we shall trouble ourselves to notice at any length. This point is tba charge that when he was working for uS we cheated our foreign advertisers by putting in their advertisements after the edition was nearly printed and running off only enough with the advertisements in to send to the advertisers, and ■thus got pay for advertising which we never did. If he had told the whole truth about that incident, it would have shown that we gave those adyertisers, not only full yalue for all wo ever received, from them, but a good deal more. We had taken a yearly contract for about two columns of advertising from an agency in New York. A very small portion of the payment was made in advance, in certain articles of merchandise, thus lawfully binding the contract. The balance, and by far the largest part, was payable in due bills upon the advertisers, which due bills were to be received only as part payment for different articles, such as organs, fanning fcilltp Ac., and these due bills were represented to us by the advertising agency as being readily saleable and worth their face. After having carried the advertising to the amount of fully ten times the value of the advance payment, we found we

could not use the due bills so as to realize anything from them, and then, and not till then, did we resort to the plan which he menlioiis and which we believed at the time and still believe, was entirely justifiable. And even after we learned that the contract was practically a total lose, we carried it out fully, except during some brief

periods, when home advertising was crowding our columns. In conclusion we will add that W 6 never asked for nor received, frotn any either for advertising or for anything else, for the value of a single dollar, that we did not consider dur due. Nor is there a single human being on this earth who can truly say that we ever cheated him or tried to cheat him of so much as the value of a single cent

There is scarcely a mechanic in this town who has not worked for us at some time or other; no man in business whom we have not had dealings with, not one of these will say we have not always been scrupulously honest with them; no man or boy that ever worked in our printing office, including the one who now with such unfathomable baseness and such total absence of justification, is trying to injure our standing as an honest and honorable man, not even le nor any other, will venture to say that in all his dealings with us we ever tried to wrong him to the value of a farthing. Can he truly say as much? But even had we “done up” the advertising agencies as he claimed, is he not aware that in the opinions of all decent men he has hurt himself more by the revelation that he has us? Who is there /hat does not in his heart despise

the man who will draw the pay of another for years in a trusted position, like that of a foreman in some pari of his business, and then, when he has left that employ, to seek to build himself up and tear down the former employer, by revealing matters which every principle of honor between 'man and man should require him to keep inviolate. Had he believed we were committing a wrong, his only proper course would have, been to have protested against it, and, that not availing, to have refused to assist in it. But as he made no such protest, nor refused to assist in the wrong, he not only became a sharer with us in doing the act, but ten times more dishonorable in revealing it, years afterwards, to wreak a little petty malice.

What man of business of any kind will respect or trust a man who wantonly betrays the confidence reposed in him by atrusting employer? Who does not hafa and despise the betrayer of confidence; the human snake in the grass? Are not Jud#? and Benedict Arnold

the types of that particular form of baseness which of all others men hold in deepest detestation. k inan Wo will betray one employer) orsell one get of principles, will be ready, to betray another or to sell himself again. Even the members’ of the “gang,” unprincipled as £hey have shown themselves to be) dan not it would seem, help but despise in their hearts and distrust" the pitiful tool and dupe who hafrsold himself so cheaply to their uSe, The various points in the balance of his article, into which’ the father of liars himself could ’ not have crowded a greater number of malicious lies, will be briefly notice ed. '

. _. says we published one street improvement notice free merely to beat the Pilot. The statement is false. The notice was one made necessary by a change in the plan of the improvement, and which change was one greatly to the benefit of the writer as a property owner on the street When told by the town clerk that the Board was getting sore over the expense their numerous changes was causing, We at once agreed to publish the notice free, in gratitude for

the change which saved us at least 1150. We informed the clerk when we made the offer that we were quite willing to help the Board out of the hole they had got into to that extent We also added, in a jesting way, that if thq PiU)t or the Sentinel wanted to make a lower bid they would have to pay for the privilege, of publishing the notice. This part of our conversation was evi

dently repeated by the clerk, and probably not at all in the spirit in which the said clerk knew it was spoken. ' do work for nothing to beat the Pilot. Another absolute falsehood. If such cases have occured he could name them. We have never bid against that establishment more than three or four times, and in every case we named prices that would give us fair returns for our labor and material. If Our bill against the town board was not an attempted steal, he says, why did we settle for less?

That is the logic of an idiot, in the language of a blackguard. If every man who settles a claim for less than he first asks is attempting to steal, then there are no honest men in this world. He says we measured our street notices too large. Another absolutely false statement Not one o the notices was measured a single iota more than it contained, and jahy printer who knows how to measure type will say the same. The notice we published free was set with a smaller headline than most of the others, he saysVery true, it was, but the notice was set in much larger type, and actually was given more space for the amount of matter it contained than any of them; and was also,put in a better position in the paper, as our files will show.

He says, in effect, that we have overcharged merchants for their advertising. The statement is a lie, and a dirty, cowardly lie. Not in all the twelve years that we published Tqe Republican have we charged any man, woman or child more than a fair price for advertising or anything else; and he can not produce the individual that will substantiate his charge. He says we lie when we say that the Pilot gang bull-dozes our merchants into advertising in that paper, yet in the very same article he says the Pilot stockholders, ora portion of them at least, patronize those who patronize that paper. That is a threat that has been constantly held over the heads of our merchants from the first; that the Pilot stockholders and members of the alliance generally would boycott the merchants who did not support the Pilot. And the threat has not been confined to its -xqlumiiß, but haa been, naadft. to merchants, directly, by those interested in the political movement which the Pilot was established advocate. If that is not bull-dozing and virtual blackmail, then what else is it? Our statement that probably the , „ we paid on the street iiQ- | amount • » I prove inent is mblfe than the Pilot I gang will pay to the town in twenty years, is intentionally perverted to make it\ seem that we meant the Pilot stockholders; but he very 5 well know. 8 that we have always confined t. be term I Hot gang” to theaanonymous. mous § an ? o£ slanderers who manage 3 itß e^tor " ial columns.

Political Ingratitude.

Thdianapolis*Toumal:That was a sharp and merited thrust given Senators who were advocating a repeal of that section of the election law which provides for advertising sample ballots. “You sit here and pass bill after bill for the farmers,” he said, ’’but you would deny the man who fights for your party every day in the year the right to print these ballots. You climb <wer one another to put an additional doorkeeper on the Senate force, and then talk about economy. No newspaper man has been here in the interest of this bill. The best investment that can be made is to have these ballots published.” Mr. Magee is familiar with the newspaper business, and knows that the public expects a paper to be at the service of its party’s candidates from year’s end to year’s end, to give up its space when called upon, and to put aside profitable business for political con-

venience at any time—all for the party’s sake and for glory. He has also probably encountered the fact that when state and county officers and legislators whom it has helped to elect, and who could not have been elected without it, are in a position to reciprocate a fovor in a legitimate, honorable way by directing public advertising to its columns, such business, as a rule, goes to obscure and disreputable sheets because, accordng to the prevaling official argument, the latter must be kept in a friendly mood, and the respectable high-class paper does not vary its opinions and principles according to its counting-room receipts. The Journal had nothing to do with the advertising clause of the ballot law as it now exists, and has taken no interest in the movement to repeal it, but is free to say that in expressing their disregard for newspapers in general as they do, the Senators who urge the repeal show the basest ingratitude to the county press to which they owe their present temporary prominence.

That Big Gun.

A tram on the Fort Wayne railroad passed through town yesterday which carried an unusual load and, of course excited considerable attention. Twenty-one cars of it were loaded with parts of the great Krupp gun which is to be on exhibition at the World’s Fair in Chicago this summer. Much of the load was boxed up, but occasionally a heavy piece of the ponderous mechanism was visible The baarel of the gun will soon pass along. It weighs one hundred and twenty tons and will ride on thirtytwo pairs of heavy trucks.—Valparaiso Sun.

Three days is a very short time in Which to cure a very bad case of rheumatism ; but it can be done, if the pro per treatment is adopted, as will be seen by the following from James Lambert, of New Brunswick, Ills.: “I was badly afflicted with rheumatism in thehips and legs, when I bought a bottle of Chamber! ain’s Pain Balm. 11 cured me in three days .lam all right today, uhd would insist on ev ry on who is afflicted with that terrible disease to use Chamberlain’s Pain .Balm and get well at once ” * 50 cent bottles for sale by Meyers’ the druggist. ‘•The people of this vicinity insist on having Champerlain’s Cough Remedy and do not want any other,” says John V.

There is nothing so good for a lame back or a pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured in one night by applying a flannel bandage dampened with Pain Balm. 50 cent bottles for sale by Meyers, the Druggist.
