TH E STANDARD. SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1879.

SALUTATORY.

And it came to pass in the year of our Lord one thousand, eight hundred and seventy-nine, in the sixth month of the year and the twenty-first day of the month, that it was deemed advisable by the undersigned to commence the publication of a reliable republican newspaper in Rensselaer, county of Jasper, and state of Indiana, believing the interests of the republican party in the county demand it, and feeling that such a paper is needed to promote the welfare of the party. It is for this THE STANDARD is established, and for this object will it labor with might and main, to far as the ability of its editor goes. THE STANDARD will always be found advocating true republican principles, believing those principles to be the very safe guard of the nation, upon which depends the perpetuity of the union and the preservation of our present form of government. It will advocate the election to office of such men as will labor to carry out these principles—honest, competent men—such men as will add strength to the ticket and-help to build up the party. If, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to station troops at the polls to preserve the purity of the ballot-box and to get an honest, free expression of the people, without being bull dozed by armed ruffians and deperadoes, who are no less than enemies to their country. THE STANDARD will advocate the strict enforcement of that section of the Constitution which provides for the same, the democratic party to the contrary, notwithstanding. The late action of the democratic congress in its failure to pass appropriations for the support of the army is not only disgraceful, but shows a spirit of rebellion which endangers the very life-blood of the nation, and which ought to receive a stinging rebuke from the thinking, better class of citizens. The republican party will enter the next campaign with a good record and will make a vigorous fight. The democratic party will enter the field with a record all blotted with shame and blurred with disgrace. Then let us buckle on the armor and go into the fight with renewed energy. Let not a single republican be caught napping, but be up and doing. Work, for the night is coming, a night from the darkness of which the democratic party will never emerge. Just as sure as republicans perform their whole duty, just so sure does a g;orious victory await them at the polls next year. With malice toward none and charity for all, and with best wishes to every reader of this paper, I will subscribe myself, Yours, most obediently,

MERVIN O. CISSEL.

The memory of the man who introduced the “whistling” act will be handed down to posterity as one of the greatest statesmen (?) the world ever produced. Especially will the people of the great democratic state of Indiana endeavor to keep his memory ever fresh and green. He ought to be voted a medal for possessing the most wonderful brain that Indiana has ever produced. And the other members of the legislature who voted for and helped the bill to become a law, ought to share equally in tile notoriety thus gained. Pass them around.

Lonis Guetig, the murderer of Mary McGlew, has again been sentenced to be hung. The verdict was rendered by a jury consisting of twenty-four citizens of Marion county who had the courage to act in accordance with the law and the evidence-in the case. The ludianapolis Journal, in commenting upon the verdict, says: “The quality of justice in this community is improving, and it is a matter for congratulation. Let it once be known that death will inevitably follow murder, and human life will be more secure. ”

The list of allowances made by tbe board of county commissioners at their late session was published officially by the county auditor in the Union, because the statute requires seek official publication to be made in the newspaper published in the county which has the largest circulation within the county. Advertisers will find it advantageous to remember this fact.—[Union. That will do to tell now; but from present indications The Standard will have the largest circulation in the county ere another session of the board of connty commissioners rolls around. Advertisers will please bear this in mind.

The editor of The Standard is under obligations t* the Democratic Senti»el for the kindly notiee given him in bat week’s paper. Although opposed to him politically, we regard Bro. McEwen as an houest, consciencioos gentleman, and believe be means well. The Montieclio Democrat has recently been enlarged and otherwise improved, and is now a model country newspaper. We gladly welcome it to our table of exchanges, and wi&h the editor long life and a just recompense of reward.

JEFF. DAVIS'S LATEST.

SPEECH OF THE HOARY-HEADED OLD REBEL AT PASCAGOULA. Special to the New Orleans Picayune. An invitation was sent to Mississippi City requesting Jefferson Davis to join in an excursion to-morrow. He answered that he would be happy to accept, but feared it impracticable. A 9:20 telegram announced he would arrive at 9:30. A committee was appointed to receive him. On entering the hall he was greeted with cheer on cheer; all rose, the ladies waving handkerchiefs and throwing flowery and boquets before him as he passed through the hall with the committee, of which E. Barksdale was chairman, who introduced Mr. Davis, saying that every Mississippian walked With loftier stride when Jefferson Davis appeared among them after the long and bloody night that had passed. Regenerated and free again, Jefferson Davis was welcomed to the hearts and homes of Mississippians. Mr. Davis said Mississippi was identified with his highest hopes, and he rejoiced to see her regenerated. It was charged that Mississippi had repudiated her honest debt, which was untrue. She paid all honest debts, crushed and bleeding from every pore, without a voice to raise in her own defense. That dark hour, thank God, had passed away, and Mississippians once more governed Mississippi: and through weeds, sackcloth and ashes exclaim in the language of Job, “I believe my avenger liveth.” Truth would prevail in final triumph. “From beginning to end,” he said, “in prosperity and adversity, when leading bodies of men are laden with chains in a dungeon, I have been true to Mississippi. I believe you have done right, and I do not feel that 1 have done wrong.” Thanking the press of Mississippi for their cordial reception, he predicted it would vindicate the past and point to higher roads of morality in the future. The women of the South during the war were most resolute. He said he never saw a Southern woman who had been reconstructed. The children of such women must rise to vindicate such principles. “Let no one,” said Mr. Davis, “suppose I am advocating revolution or preaching sectional strife, The re-establishment of such principles and great truths as lay at the foundation of this government was necessary. Nullification and secession began in New England and not in the South. Friends— : for all Mississippians are my friends, one and all; 1 love Mississippi, and I love Mississippians—God bless you all now and forever.” [Repeated applause and great enthusiasm.] The presieent proposed cheers for Mr. Davis.

MARRIED ON THE CARS.

A gentleman arriving in the city yesterday from Jeffersonville tells a good story of a wedding on the cars which occurred in Clark county on Sunday. Two cousins, J. W. Mahrs and Mattie Mahrs, of Boone county, Ky., had run away from home to he married. They were escaping from the unkind male parent, who wished to prevent their nuptials, and had stopped at Jeffersonville to obtain the requisite license. The lovers then proceeded to New Albany to find a clergyman, and having been successful in their search, were about to be married in short order, when it was discovered they were not in Clark county, and that therefore the license was of no value. Clergyman, bride and groom then got aboard a train on the Louisville and New Albany short line, and by an understanding with good natured conductor W. S. Noyes, a brief halt took place when Silver Creek, just over the border, in Clark county, was reached. The word had been passed through the cars that something unusual was to happen, and accordingly all the passengers gathered in one coach, In the presence of this assemblage of strangers Mr. Mahrs and his Mattie were married, the Rev. Mr. Pittner, of New Albany, being the officiating clergyman. Wedding ceremonies have before now been knows to take place in queer places and with strange surroundings, but perhaps this is the first time that they have occurred in a railroad car.—[lndianapolis Journal.

A BRIGHT FUTURE.

A gentleman long connected with the press, and more recently in active business, in writing to a friend in Indianapolis, makes the following hopeful predictions, which were copied in the Journal of that city: “Business of all kinds is increasing all over the country, and we shall soon have a time of substantial prosperity such as this country has never seen. The United States will be the richest nation in the world, and with wealth more widely distributed among the people that in any other nation. Our agricultural and mining resources are greater than any other country of the world possesses; and, as all wealth is but the result of labor bestowed upon nature's treasures, we cannot fail in becoming the leading nation of the world in wealth, power and intelligence. This, too, it will become in spite of the miserable squabbles of politicians and demagogues, the selfishness of capital and the howls of communists and socialists. We may occasionally have a thunder-storm or tornado, but these will be but local in their effects, and tend to purify the political and moral atmosphere. ‘The mills of God grind slow, but they grind exceeding small.’ Man may be a martyr, but the race is progressing, and will, in my belief, continue so eternally in all modes of existence.”

WATCH FOR 120.

Under the act passed by the last General Assembly, approved March 31, and taking effect on the 3d of the present month, it is provided that no oil or other substance which, by the test prescribed, flashes at any temperature below 120° Fahrenheit, shall be allowed to be sold, or offered for sale, or consumed for illuminating purposes, in this State. 'The penalty for violating this law is a fine of not less than $500 or imprisonment in the county jail for twenty days, or both. Dealers are also made responsible for any damage to persons from uninspected oils. Section seven of the act above alluded to also provides that “any person selling or illuminating oils, produced from petroleum, who shall sell or dispose of any empty barrel, cask or package, which has been branded by an inspector or his deputies, before thoroughly canceling, removing and effacing the inspection brand, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, shall pay a fine of $50 for each barrel, cask or package thus sold or disposed of.” As will be seen, this new law is binding.--[lndianapolis Journal.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS.

The superintendent of public instruction, during an informal talk with a Journal reporter, the other day, stated that never before had he noticed so much political wrangle over the election of county superintendents as at present, and he had grave apprehension that it would work disastrously to the public school interest. Some of the best men had been kicked out, and, under advices from fifty-seven counties, only twenty-two had been re-elected, the remaining thirty-five being new men. The superintendent felt that politics must not be allowed within the schools, for a superintendent or a teacher, to be successful in his work, must have the cordial support of all, irrespective of partisan feeling. While the professor didn’t so say it, the . same sentiment applies to the benevolent institutions. —[lndianapolis Journal.

GENERAL SCHENCK.

The many friends of General Schenck will grieve to learn that his physician has informed him that he is liable to die suddenly, and that he cannot recover. On Wednesday afternoon when lightning struck his house it seriously excited him, and he was much prostrated afterwards. His daughters stated that if he was able to travel he would leave. Washington for Crystal Springs, near Watkins’s Glen, New York, Thursday morning. He is afflicted with Bright’s disease of the-kidneys.—[lndiana-polis Journal.

SCRAPS OF RAILROAD NEWS.

There is to be a meeting to-day at Westfield to work up an interest in the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago road. Mr. Yeoman, general manager of the line, will be in attendance. Other points on the proposed line will be visited in the next few days.— [Indianapolis Journal, 18th.

Three surveys have been made by the engineer corps of the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago road, by which they can secure an entrance into the city. The last survey developes the most favorable route. By this survey the road from Westfield to Indianapolis, a distance of twenty miles, will be a perfect air line. After reaching the city limits the line passes through what is known as the Harrison addition, then south on Bismarck street to Sheldon street, then to the connection with the Bee Line tracks. When reaching that point it is the intention of the company to lease the right of way to the Union tracks of the Bee Lino and 1., P. & C. companies. The 1., D. & C. being a narrow gauge road, it will necessitate the laying of a third rail from the point where the new road strikes the Bee Line into the Union Depot. The line is already staked from Westfield to a connection with the Bee Line road. —[Indianapolis Journal.

Estella Dern, a 5 year old daughter of Isaac Dern, living in Carroll county, east of Delphi, was brought to Cowger & Robinson’s office last Monday evening and had a surgical operation performed upon the nasal organ consisting of the removal from the nose of a woody substance which had been lodged there for a period of three years. Other physicians had treated the child for catarrhal affection, but the remedy was improperly applied, since the patient’s trouble was in no wise so caused. Dr. Cowger examined the child a few days ago and found that the affection was altogether local and was caused by a foreign substance, the removal of which was successfully performed by him last Monday evening. The matter removed is as large as a basal nut and is thought to be the pith of an elder bush. The child has rapidly improved since the operation and will soon recove.—[Monticello Herald.

In a car which arrived recently at Hays City, Kansas, were stowed two lumber wagons, two males, one dog, a pump, a cooking stove, 100 bushels of corn and oats, 500 feet of lumber, two beds, a barrel of flour, a barrel of kerosene, three men, thirty chickens and two horses.—[lndianapolis Journal. Mrs. James McKinney, of Monticello, dropped dead from heart disease, one day last week.

The receipts of the Cantata amounted to $48 25, of which $38 00 has been applied as payment on organ—the remainder being devoted to expenses and decorating the graves in churchyard in honor of Gen. VanRensselaer, who very kindly gave them two dollars for a rehearsal, and the promise of ten dollars whenever they deem proper to make use of it. Determined to earn their organ, the Sabbath School has, in Mr. VanRensseiaer’s name, offered the ten dollars to the Church for repairs and painting. if the members so desire. The little ones, not wishing to be excelled by the larger members of the Sabbath School, have expressed a desire to give a literary and musical entertainment next month, and thereby try to raise balance due on organ. The committee take great pleasure in thanking the young ladies who so kindly gave time and attention to their rehearsals: To the Ladies Orchestra and the Band who so willingly tendered their services: To Mrs. Ludd Hopkins and Mrs. S. P. Thompson, for their patient and untiring help: To each, who so readily lent an assisting hand in securing the success of the Cantata. The young ladies also tender their thanks to the public for their kind patronage and compliment of a second night’s entertainment.
