THE REPUBLICAN. Geore E. Marshall, Editor. RENSSELAER - INDIANA

If the Senate and House don’t settle the silver question soon how can Cleveland issue a Thanksgiving proclamation? A German botanist has been discovering bacteria in tobacco and the fact has been used as a startling argument agaist the use of the weed. Really, though, it seems quite natural. Where else should we look for bacteria if not in “baccy. ” It is not easy to tell the truth and to lie at the same instant and with the same words, yet a Philadelphia journalist accomplished that feat by the simple announcement: “Cheaper Gas in Sight.” Gas, we all know, is invisible, yet the statement was true, as it was intended to convey the iniformation that there was a prospect for cheaper gas. Daniel Defoe, a lineal descendant of the author of Robinson Crusoe, is now a British sailor’s apprentice, with six months to serve. He was in New York harbor last week and when found by a Sun reporter, had been detailed as a cook. He is a sensible youth of nineteen, and declares his intention of abandoning the sea at the expiration of his apprenticeship.

The “record” has been broken so many /times of late that it would seem £o be beyond repair. The last offender in this particular is the Lucania, the Cunarder steamer, which beat all former performances between New York and Liverpool >y fifty-nine minutes, having arrived at the dock in New York harbor, on the 6th, in 5 days, 13 hours and 25 minutes out from Liverpool. Rev. Irl B. Hicks, tbe alleged weather prophet, rushed into print in the latter part of September with a complete programme of the weather for October, but lost-the opportunity of his life by failing to predict the great storm on the Gulf coast, on the Ist and 2d insts. Such a signal failure will not inspire confidence in his superior wisdom even if his predictions should be fullfiled.

Lizzie Borden, the celebrated young lady, of Fall River, Mass., who stood trial for the murder of hex' father and step-mother, and was so triumphantly acquitted, has with her sister Emma, come into possession of her father’s estate. The sisters will have a combined fortune of $400,000 and have built a new cottage costing about three thousand dollars, into which they have moved almost all of the furniture from the old home so tragically famous. The gold districts of Colorado begin to feel the impetus that Will naturally follow from the decline in the output of silver. The law of supply and demand will work in the mountains as well as on the great prairies, and miners are beginning to be able to see this truth. There has been a great influx [of miners into the Cripple Creek region, known to be rich in gold. Many new and valuable strikes are reported. Old claims are being reworked and the outlook is very hopeful.

The feline tribe in Brooklyn appear to be badly demoralized by the electric cars. Large numbers of cats have been perishing under the wheels, so many, in fact, that people seem to believe the animals commit suicide. Motormen testify that they seem to be dazed when the car approaches and appear unable to move. Possibly the well known electric qualities of Thomas aet as a conductor of the'fluid between the trolley wires and rails and paralyze him to such an extent that he is unable to escape. A common sense decision that will be of general interest throughout the State was made by Judge Everett of the LaFayette Superior Court a few days ago. An action liad been brought to compel the county treasurer to pay a county ord’er without regard to the fact whether the holder of the ’ order owed the county taxes or stood clear on the books. The court held that the custom heretofore generally adhered to by county treasurers, of deducting the amount of taxes or other sums due the county from county orders presented, was correct and legal. A man out in Washington State was badly “stuck ’ on a whale he bought of a lucky fisherman who captured it The enterprising citixen saw great possibilities in the fish for exhibition purposes and made some money that way. But

Jonah’s companion in J the great transformation scene we read of,died, and what was worse —smelled bad. The amateur showman spent his profits in coal oil trying to burn the ‘ ‘retnains, ” but the body was apparently constructed of asbestos and refused to “combust.” —The town is rampant and urgent in its demand that- the carcass shall be peremptorily. removed, but at last reports per? fumcry was still in active demand.

Ex-Senator Fair, of California, a short time ago loaned his son $70,000 to set up as a race horse owner. The dashing youth proceeded to possess a string of a dozen horses in short order, for which he paid liberal pritees. The stable was taken to Chicago in the spring, and some preliminary races were run at St. Louis, to which circumstance is attributed the sickness of all the animals and the entire failure of the son and heir to make his “pile” by the success of his venture in horse flesh. The “old man” got angry and attached the establishment to secure what he could from the wreck of the project to apply on the 170,000 loan and arbitrarily ordered his darling boy to be locked up in his hotel at San Francisco, which was done.

Theosophical devotees annually meet at Onset Bay, Mass., and indulge in ventilating their peculiar ideas. This year Henry B. Foulke has set up as a “Messiah.” He proclaims that a new order of things will begin within a year, and indorses Prof. Tottens’ figures interpreting prophecies of Isaiah and other scriptural writers. He says that Mme. Blavatsky was a re-incar-nation of John the Baptist and a Messiah —a man in the form of woman —and states that he is her successor. Mr. Foulke believes in reincarnation and remembers distinctly seven previous embodiments, but refuses to state what positions he formerly occupied. He states that Theosophists know who Grover Cleve land, Lincoln, Napoleon and Jay Gould were in former states, but positively refuses to divulge a secret that all would be glad to discover We are inclined to believe that Mr. Foulke is a very selfish or very foolish man. If he knows so much he should give the World the benefit of his knowledge.

Franz Ferdinand, of the House of Hapsburg, heir to the Austrian throne, and an Archduke with a string of titles and decorations of remarkable length and splendor, has been in Chicago doing the Fair incog. But the Stock Yardsupper ten were on the look out for his ’ighness, and arranged a reception in the Austrian section of the Fine Arts building, and a select few “layed” for the Archduke, arrayed in the best style known to American society. After a weary wait the heir-presumptive was “steered” into the section which had been especially draped and curtained off for the occasion, and the master of ceremonies rushed forward with all the cordiality at his command to greet the royal stranger. But the Archduke paid no attention to the official nor tho, assembled guests, and strode abruptly through the section. Not as much notice was given the waiting “upper tens” aS was bestowed on the statuary, [and the royal party only paused to salute the bust of Emperor Franz Josef and passed out. To add insult to injury the guards refused to permit the guests to leave the apartment until after ten minutes had elapsed, as the Archduke had given such an order for fear of being followed. The reigning families of Chicago and the reigning families of Eurbpe do not appear to get on well together during this Columbian year for some reason. It must be admitted that the representative of the House of Hapsburg gave the stockyards magnates a very “cold shake.”

Sad Fate of a Conversationist.

Detroit Free Press. The man was walking along Woodward avenue carrying a parrot in a cage. “What you got there?” asked a friend. “Parrot. I’m taking it home to my wife. She always wanted one.” “I hope you’ll have better luck than I did with one I gave my wife.” “What happened tcrit?” “Don't know my wife, do you?” “No.” “Neither did the parrot. It wanted to talk during the day jtimc and couldn’t get a chance while my wife was around, so it staid awake at night to co its talking, and the poor thing died of insomnia before two weeks.”

A Lucky “Miss."

Miss Mary Garrett, of Baltimore, whose fortune is estimated at some $20,000,000, and is increasing yearly, is a woman of gentle breeding and fine culture. She speaks half a dozen languages and travels much in Europe with her maid. She is well informed on railroad affah-s, and beyond her great inheritance has made a fortune for herself by judicious investments. The thermometer never gets so low that the very best people won’r, notice it. * 1

TOPICS OF THESE TIMES.

WITHOUT A PRECEDENT. The proposition for the annexation of the Territory of Utah to the State of Nevada, proposed in a bill recently introduced itt' Congress, is unprecedented in our political history, and calls public attention to the peculiar position of the diminutive State of Nevada in the sisterhood of States. Always a reproach to representative government, passing years have only served to make it a by-word and add to the disgrace of a situation apparently without a remedy At the census of 1860 the Territory of Nevada had a population of 6,857 people, and its population in 1870 had only reached a total of 42,490. The Territory was admitted to the Union as a State in 1864, with an unknown population, but the apportionment of the previous year called for 127,391 as the number necessary for a Representative in Congress. In 1880 the State had 62,226 inhabitants, while the apportionment for Congressional purposes called for 151.911 as the number necessary for a Representative. In 1890 the population of Nevada had fallen off* to only 45,761, and today its population is less than any territory except Alaska, and it has not a quarter of the population fixed for a Representative under the last apportionment act. Yet Nevada has a Representative in Congress and as many Senators as the Empire State with its millions of population. The injustice of the situation is apparent to all. Utah, if annexed, will bring in a population of 225,000,- and an additional area of 82,190 square miles, with wonderful resources, both mineral and agricultural, and a great and growing mercantile business as well. Polygamy is practically at an end in Utah, and the Mormon influence is fast waning before the tide of Gentiles constantly flowing in. The project is regarded favorably by all parties, as it would settle the vexed question of the admision of Utah as a separate State, and also remove the stigma of a rotten borough commonwealth, as Nevada is universally conceded to be.

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS. It is one of the instructive features of the recent financial troubles in this country that the building associations have not in any material degree suffered, nor has confidence in their stability and usefulness been impaired. But very few associations have failed, those suspending having almost without exception gone to the wall through the dishonesty and embezzlement of officials, and not from any cause that could be traced to the prevailing depression. The fact is comforting and reassuring, and goes to show that the building association and co-operative banking system will grow and increase in the volume of business that must necessarily keep pace with the growth of the country. There are 5,860 buildingassociations andcooperative banks in the United States. Pennsylvania, the mother of the building association idea, has 1,100 of the institutions that have proved so useful to the poor of the country. There is a total membership of 1,700,000 in the United States, and the assets of the associations are estimated at $500,000,000. With proper State laws and restrictions, and a reasonable amount of care among stockholders in the selection of officers, these clearing-houses of the common people may be made and maintained as an ffhmixed and inestimable blessing to their promoters and the country at large.

THE OTHER SIDE. The efforts of the present President and government of Mexico to enlist the sympathy, attention and good will of the people of the United States by protestations of great liberality of opinion towards free institutions and numerous concessions to American citizens for tbe attraction of American capital and enterprise to various great undertakings, has had, as it was doubtless intended it sliould have, the effect Of creating a public opinion in the United very favorable to President Diaz, and also to what has been believed i to be a great and growing and enlightened republic on our southern border. Mr. E. S. Gregory, of Boston, formerly long a resident of Chihuahua, Mexico, writes to the New York Sun in quite a different strain, and desires to go on record as protesting against the false impressions so largelj’ extant on this subject. He avers that there exists in Mexico a universal hatred of the United States; that the Mexican government is ope of tyranny, fraud and violence; that it is no republic at all; that elections are in fact never held, but are a mere pretense, the result being obtained by military force; that the principal journals of New York are the bought and paid for friends of a government whose

two weapons are Intimidation and bribery. This is news, and coming from a man who challenges investigation of his statements, is worthy of attention. It is possible that the American people have been hoodwinked and deceived into forming friendly opinions of Mexican progress, and it is proper that we should be set right if such is the case.

EDISON’S IDEAS. The money question has at length penetrated into the laboratories of the Wizard of Menlo Park,andhe has stopped making rubies, emeralds, electric lights, phonographs, microphones, etc., long enough to give to the world some new'ideas on curren-cy,-which, like all of his ideas, are novel to say the least, In an interview at New Xork on the 2d inst., Mr. Edison said: “The hankering for gold and silver in traditional. What we need is a new standard of value. The best dollar could be made out of compressed wheat. Take a bushel of wheat and* squeeze the water out of it, compress it into a hard cake the size of a silver dollar, and stamp the Government mark upon it. That would represent actual value: The bushel of wheat would thus become a permanent unit of value. Gold and silver could be dispensed with and the bimetallic problem would be solved. If metal must be the basis of our money, let iron be the substitute. Iron is the most precious metal. Mankind could dispense with gold and silver, but iron is an absolute necessity. Iron must be constantly produced or its price will steadily rise. Why not issue treasury certificates on iron? Instead of loading up the treasury with useless gold and silver, as people would want bills of large denominations to accompany the wheat dollar, why not buy iron or steel instead and issue treasury certificates upon that?” THE PANIC. The panic of 1893 so far as moneyed institutions are concerned, is past. The storm that wrecked so many seemingly sturdy craft has waned, and only the wreckage that continues to wash ashore in diminishing quantities serve to remind the business world of the disaster, which though very destructive, has been in comparison with former visitations very light. Deposits in banks are rapidly increasing and financial statistics show that if the present rate of increase is sustained they will gain more in the next three months than they lost during the period of distrust through which they have safely passed. The banks of New York have made such a remarkable showing that confidence has been practically restored, and the reduction of the Bank of England rate to 3J per cent, has strengthened the buoyant feeling. For the first week in September the total bank clearings were $733,000,000. The second week they were $792,000,000, and the last week $798,000,000. This is more than 33 per cent, less than for the corresponding weeks of last year, but is regarded as very encouraging. The volume of trade has improved. The iron mills in the Pittsburgh district are being put into operation and the industrial situation throughout the country is much more hopeful. Values on the stock market have been well maintained.

THE PENSION BUREAU. There has been much criticism of the Pension Bureau under the new administration—as well as under the last. The statements of this department of the government are therefore of special interest to a large number of our readers. Since March 4, 1893, 55,399 new pensions have been granted. Of these 4,128 were issed since Aug. 20; 1,712 were original; 1,497 increases; 326 were for disabilities contracted in the service; 316 under the act of June 27, 1890. It is claimed that all cases, of suspension will be disposed of by October 10, and it is estimated that seventy-five per cent, of these cases will be returned to the rolls, but in the majority of the cases of suspension restored the rate will be changed.

Sure Death.

There is a certain way that experienced stockmen know of throwing a horse down so as to break his neck and kill him at once. An ordinary halter is put on the horse, the lead strap from it passed between the horse’s front legs, a turn being taken around the far one near the fetlock. The executioner then hits the horSe a sharp cut with a whip, and when he jumps up pulls sharply and strongly on'the halter strap. The horse strikes head first, with the entire weight on his neck. The fall is invariably fatal.. The band played “Nearer, My God, to Thee,’.! as the aeronaut began his balloon ascension at the Ellsworth (Me.) fair tbe other day.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

John Swartz, jr., residing three miles north of Henryville, has an apple tree which is blooming the second time this season. It is completely covered with blossoms. The sorghum season is about oVbr. It seems as though there was a goodly amount of this excellent commodity grown hereabouts this season and of excellent quality.—Mt. Vernon Democrat. John U. Denton, postmaster of Aurora, died Wednesday night. Mr. Denton was appointed by President Harrison and his term of office would have expired January 8. He was a model citizen and postmaster. Sixty men employed at the old Hoosier quarry, the principal quarry operated by the Bedford Stone Quarry Company, quit work, Tuesday afternoon. They say they have received no money since the middle of July. Two.handsome brick buildings are being erected at Newport and six business houses were recently finished on the public sqnare. Numerous dwellings have also been erected in the suburbs within the past year. There seems to be no doubt that a receiver will soon bo appointed for the Kentucky & Indiana Bridge Company. It is said a preliminary agreement has been entered into between the directors and officers to this end. 3 The other day a Seymour cow broke into a kitchen and ate a half a barrel of apples, a large chocolate cake and other delicacies. The family have been closely watching the cow ever since, anxiously expecting her to give an abundant supply of neapolltau ice cream. J. W. Paris, of Indianapolis, President of the collapsed Paris-Dwlggtns bank, at Greentown, indicted, along with ex-Gov-erhor Chase for embezzlement, filed an affidavit at Kokomo, Tuesday, for a change of venue, alleging he cannot got justice there bn account of the indignant state of the public mind produced by the failure. Mr. Chase put in an appearance and will insist on immediate trial. He was accompanied there by ex-District Attorney Smiley N. Chambers, who, with the present District Attorney, F. B. Burke, will be his chief counsel. Bv agreement Mr. Chase’s trial is set for Wednesday, Oct. 18. The indictments against James K. and Calvin Armstrong, who left the Tipton county treasurer’s office $43,000 short,were dismissed at Kokomo, Tuesday, by the State’s attorney because of irregularity, and, in consequence, the officers will not be tried on the embezzlement charges this term, and unless they succeed in giving bond the lather and son must continue to lie in jail until December, at which time the grand jury reconvenes. William Snyder, a well-known sporting man, claiming Philadelphia as his homo, died at Vincennes, Monday night, of heart disease. He went there, Saturday; to attend the fair. He was known to the sporting men all over the country as

“Big” Snyder. He weighed 480 pounds. His remains were buried there. A coffin had to be made to order for the body, and a piano lifter had to be used in handling it. The coffin could not be put into the hearse, and had to be hauled to the cemetery in an open wagon. The weapon with which the Wrattan murders were committed has been found by the coroner of Daviess county. It is a corn knife. It was found -secreted in a crack of the Wrattan smoke-house. It hkd been made of an old scythe. On its blade were found unmistakable bloodstains and a number of human hairs. The hairs were .of various lengths and colors, showing that the weapon had been used on several heads. A quilt, on which was found the bloody outline of a corn knife, was brought out, and it was found that the knife fitted the imprint of blood. The officers have a clew to the ownership ot the knife, and they are now; hopeful that convincing evidence will soon be forthcoming. A rumor having been circulated in Westfield to the effect that a man from Broad Ripple was expected. Thursday, to set up a saloon in that place, the people en masse camo to the depot to meet hlm. A large crowd of women and men assembled with the determined purpose of preventing the opening of a saloon. The citizens issued a pronunclamento to this effect: "We respectfully warn all whom It mdy concern to desist from any such attempt; for if persisted in. the will of the people will be enforced- Come what may, the

people win not tolerate a saloon in this place.” , A Grant county footpads have introduced a new wrinkle in “holding up” people after nightfall. A few nights ago Nathan McCoy, a prosperous farmer living near Fairmount, was accosted by two men while he was on his way to attend lodge at that place. The men drew a revolver upon him and backed him into a corner. They then tied him securely to a rail fence and went through his pockets deliberately. McCoy was gagged so that he could make no noise. After the footpads had relieved him of his watch and money they went away and left him tied to the fence. He remained in that position for several hours, when he was released by some of his neighbors who happened to see him standing in the corner white on their way home. Harvey Shields, a young carpenter, was thrown out of work at the Jeffersonville car works, and for weeks was unable to secure another job. He and his family tasted the bitterness of poverty and hard times, little knowing that a fortune lay ready to their hands at Milwaukee. A few days ago his uncle, Owen Baldwin, of Lime Ridge. Wis., requested him to come there, but Shields had no money and wrote so. The uncle went to Jeffersonville, and found him wheeling mud in the Portland canal. Mr. Baldwin told his nephew that he was wanted at Milwaukee to settle up a large estate in land, worth over SIOO,OOO, o! which one-fourth was his share. Tuesday night the two men left for Wisconsin. The estate comes through his mother, and consists of itiO acres of suburban property. Shields has played in Lard luck for years, though hard-working and sober. Deputy Sheriff Kidder, who sits on the battlements of the jail at Elkhart and guarcre Khe prisoners therein confined, did a funny thing the other day. Judge Vanfleet felt in the humor for conducting business, and summoned Mr. Kidder from his high wall to bring in a prisoner named Wishart. A young man supposed to be the desired defendant was produced, and, after a few preliminaries, the Judge lectured him and sentenced him to the penitentiary for three years. “Your father was a good man,” said the kind-hearted Judge, and he told the prisoner that for old time’s sake sentence was suspended and he might depart. The prisoner hastened his exit,and has not been seen since. It was then discovered that Wishart was still in jail, and that the fellow who had been turned loose was a barber, serving sentence for wife-beating. Deputy Sheriff Kidder now sits on the jail parapet at night and consults the October stars.
