“The Crime oil 873" “Sound Currency” for June Ist contains a very interesting article by Congressman McCleary, of Minnesota, on the coinage act of 1873—“ the crime of ’73.” as frequently designated by the cheap money advocates, who charge it with the stealthy and corrupt demonetization of silver. Mr. McClearyshowsconclusively from contemporary records that the bill, instead of going through Congress “like the silent tread of a cat,” bad actually been before that body for about three,years; that it was printed at least thirteen times; that it was carefully debated in both houses (the debates in the Senate occupying 66 columns and those of the House 78 columns of the Congressional Globe;) and that with the exception of the addition of a silver trade dollar to meet the wishes of the Pacific

Coast, it finally passed Substantially as introduced. • I Every important feature of the bill was fully explained in the original report and repeatedly afterward in the debates on the bill itself. Instead of the surreptitious dropping out of the standard dollar just before the passage of the Act, as so frequently alleged—the fact appears that the standard Il2| grain dollar (or any other provision for free coinage of silver) was never in the bill from first to last. The fact of, and reasons for this omission were carefully pointed out in the reports on the bill and in the subsequent debates; while from contemporary as well as earlier records, quoted by'Mr. McCleary, it is apparent that Ijttle significance was attached to such omission, since it merely registered what had been the force of law for 20 years. The Act of 1853 establishing our subsidiary silver coinage upon a limited legal tender basis was uhiversally regarded as fixing our currency finally upon the standard of one metal and that gold. l Mr. McCleary also exposes with great clearness the Ernest Seyd myth, and shows conclusively that the allegations so widely circulated as to that gentleman’s coirupt connection with the Act are most audacious falsehoods. , If any of our readers are in doubt as to the methods or motives, of the men who passed the Mintage Act of 1873, we would refer them to this pamphlet.

Destroying the Russian Thistle.

The Russian thistle is undoubtedly the , greatest weed pest that bas ever been brought to this country from the old world. If taken in time, however, before the ground becomes filled with seeds, it can be held in check, or even exterminated. The farmers of Indiana, —and not only the farmers, but all other citizens of the State, should be on the alert to detect the first inroads of this pestiferous plant, qnd by destroying the young plants, prevent ifs securing a foothold, or at least make its advance very slow. Last year it was found growing in Lake, Lal’orto and Elkhart bounties, near the Lake Shore railway, and it has also been noted as far south as Winamac in Pulaski county. It has certainly gotten a good foothold in the, northern part of the State. It was also found last season on the eastern border of the State, at Liberty, in Union county. from two directions. This is exactly the way in which the prickly lettuce came into Indiana. The latter now covers nearly every part of the State, and unless vigorous -and vihgant measures are used, the Russian thistle will soon be an equally common and far more disagreeable and harmful weed.

The Russian thistle is rather soft and even succulent in the early part of the season. When the seeds begin to ripen in July, the whole plant becomes more rigid, the stems harden, and every part of the plaut becomes armed with short stout spines. If the plants are not gathered until they are prickly, they should always be burned, as the small inconspicuous seeds ripen up in drying and fall out to start another crop. In the, Northwest, the Russian thistle is a tumble w r eed; that is, it grows in a globular outline, keeps its form after dying, and loosening from the soil, rolls here and there as the wind blows it. The shaking of the plant dislodges the seeds; and they are scattered far and wide. Often the plant will sow the seed over many miles of territory in a single season. >rf As the plant extent southward and ’’eastward it loses its tumbleweed habit somewhat, but not enough to rob it of any appreciable part of its terrors; it only spreads a little slower. The necessity for the utmost watchfulness to secure and burn the-first plants that appear in a locality, cannot be too strongly urged. J. C. Arthur, Botanist.

From Carpenter Township.

OLD SETTLERS REUNION-MORE OLD TIME TRIPLETS. . 50 years ago this fall; John and David Alter then about 18 and 2T years of age, came to this Co- and settled, “Far out upon the prairie.” The next year Isaac and David came, and -continued the improvement so started. The following winter their father Rev. jlohn Alter and the rest of his family came, and settled on the farm in Sec. 21. Town. 27 R. T. where he died in 187 G and was hurried in the family grave yard, on the farm. .

This we believe was the first Settlement made in the open prairie, away from any natural grove of timber. ,It is proposed to have an old Settlers reunion, to celebrate the Semi-cent6nial of the Settlement of the Paairie, to be held in the grove on th 5 Alter farm. Lewis S. Alter the present owner says he will furnish a dinner to every one in attendance who lias been a a resident of Jasper dr Newton counties for 50 years or more. More particulars will be published latter. Speaking of triplets; I believe there is one set, you have not mentioned. About 21 years ago, Mrs. Wingate Downing, a sister to Mrs. C. 11. P rice, had 3 boys, of average weight of 8 lbs. apiece; but unfortunately, the mother and 2 boys died; the other boy is living yet now in Kan. Mr. Downing lived on Sec. 16 Carpenter Tp. that time. The cut worms have done considerable damage in the South end of the Co. But they have an enemy, that we hopewill soon become numerous enough to keep them in check. A beetle very much Resembling a cut worm in eizd and shape but of jet black color and a very rapid runner, can often be seen over the fields, Tuning here and there as if hunting; and woe to the poor cut worm that comes in reach of its powerful jawa. Now if we can find out their habits and raise a good supply the cut worm question will soon be solvedj in favor of the farmers.

Township Graduation Exercises.

The. first out door school commencement, of the County, proved a greater success than the promoters an-: ticipated. More than one thousand persons met in the beautiful grove near Valina, June 10, to witness the exercises as perpro. ramme previously published. The townships participating were Barkley, Marion, Gillam, Hanging Grove, Newton, Jordan and Unirn. The forenoon exercises consisted/ of music and an address by Dr. J. A. Woodburn, of the Chair of American History, of the State University. The subject of his address was “Education in Civic Life. It was pronounced by all as a masterly effort' The picnic dinner was one of the most attractive features of the day. There was abundance and to spare. If any person left the grounds hungry it was their own fault. The afternoon was devoted to the graduates and pupils. The following are the names of the graduates, their townships and the subjects of papers presented:— Barkley—Oren E. Frazee—“This Nation of Ours.” Henry E. Black—“ Words and Deeds of American Heroes.” Anna E. Hyatt—“ Home.” Mary Richardson—“ Brief Sketch of the Life of Louisa May Alcott.” Gillam—Cora Simons —“Progress of Education.”

William Long—‘•Character.” Ora Belle Mitchell, Arthur Prevo, —“What is success?’’ Harry O. Biggs,—“The Power of Money.” Marion—Leah Knox, —“Thought.” Oliver S. Tharp,—“Books.” Robert I? Crockett,—“A Country *B6y’s Opportunity.” Trudie Babcock,—“The Schoolmaster’s Guest.” Lora Bruce, —“Labor has her Rewards.” 3 ,i Newton —Augusta Sayler,—“lmagination.” Melvin J. Thornton, —Life of Washington.” Hanging Grove, —Arthur Stewart, —“The AOadians.” Randle Overton, —“Alaska.” Omar L Osborne,—“Honesty.” Clara Lutz, —“Spiritual Laws.” Earl Beacham, —“Dignity of Labor.” Nellie Bussell,—“Power of Eloquence.” 7 Union—Elmer Stephenson,—“Biography of Francis Hart’”

1 Marion Richardson, — , Charles Warrau, —“Biography of Benjamin Franklin. ! Oliver B. Richmond,—“Doing One’s : Best.” •' I Jordan—Frances McCo lough,— These exercises were interspersed with i strumental and vocal music. ; There were three recitations by pupils. ‘ Nellie Nichols recited “Mrs. Ruggles Dinner Party”—Mattie Parkison recited, “Our Hired Girl and the I Raggedy Man. Irena Lu’z, recited, • “The Pilot’s Story.” | The diplomas were presented by County Superintendent Warren, who also acted as master of ceremonies, generally.

The official call for the convention to nominate a candidate for joint representative, appears in this issue. The convention will be held next Monday, June 22, at Brook. It is conceded that Newton Co., is entitled to the nomina tion, and it has four good and able men who have made the preliminery canvass for the nomination, and from among these four, the choice of the convention should ba made. If the Newton County delegates can not agree among themselves which of the four men should,be nominated, then it should be th 6 province of the Jasper county delegates to settle tire contest, just as in times past, when Jasper County was entitled to the nomination and could not agree upon the man, Newton county has stepped in and made the selection. But always and in every case, making the choice from among Jasper County's candidates. Any talk at this time of Jasper 6 ?unty running in a candidate from this county, would be “dead wrong.” It would be bad faith, bad politics and bad Republicanism. The only right course open to our county is to go over and help nominate some good man from Newton County. The Representative candidate this time should come from Newton County, and any attempt now to spring a “dark horse” from Jasper County will savor altogether too much of trickery and chicanery, and would be something, which no true Republican can counsel or advise.
