THE STANDARD. SATURDAY. JULY 5, 1879.

Tbe President signed the judicial expenses bill and vetoed the marshals bill. Another contempt case for democrats to croak about. . Six hundred Americans, having more money than they knew what to do with, sailed.from New York, last Saturday, to Europe. Hard times, eh? The President has appointed Gen. Ben. Harrison a member of the Mississippi Jjevee Commission. A deserved compliment from a high source. “We all put down the rebellion.”[The Grammercy Park President and “the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.”] Oh, Lord ! “How we apples swim.” Democratic economy—an extra session of congress which has cost the people about ’§1,000,000. Oh, what consistency in their cry of retrenchment and reform! 4 *

“Not another man or another' dollar,” with which to prosecute the war, said Dan. Voorhees. Now he claims to have been the soldiers’ friend, and helped to suppress the rebellion. Oh, what amazing cheek ! A bill has passed congress and been approved b. v the President which provides for the removal of the duty from quinine. This ought to have been done long before, for neither quinine nor any substitute for it has ever been produced iu this country. . “Lincoln dogs” and “Lincoln hire lings” were the mild epithets conferred upou the boys in blue during the war by the “troolv loyil” Dan. Voorhccs. But, never-the-less, he was the soldiers' friend (?) you know. Oh, Consistency, thon art a jewel. The idea of a stalwart, brazen-faced Southern bull dozer, with six revolvers, three bowie knives and a tomahawk buckled around his waist, crying about soldiers and intimidation at the polls. Why, it lays “the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash 1 ’ and his claim of being the so’diers’ friend, in the shade. Shame !

Not once has Mr. Voorhees’ musical voice been heard in the senate chamber of the United States demanding ‘‘the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption ast,” which act, as he claims, has brought millions of people to the very verge of starvation. Is this in keeping with the promises and pledges he made the people ; ih his campaign speeches last fall? This is a conundrum for the admirers of the illustrious (?) statesman to solve. Fawcett, of the BnooL-ton Reporter, thinks we made a mistake in establishing The Standard. It is possible we did, but mistakes will happen, you know, Bro. Fawcett, to the best of people. The Standard is here to stay, and we are happy to state that the republicans of Jasper county are going to stay with it. | \\ e propose to fight it out on republic principles “if it takes all summer,” will leave it for the people to decide Whether or not we have made a mistake. State elections will be held this fall in 3lnine, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, lowa and California. The result of these elections will be looked forward to with considerable’ interest by all parties, as it will show in which direction the tide of public sentiment is tending. The ontloek for the republicans in these states is considered very encouraging, aud a sweeping republican victory would §nly be a fitting rebuke to the confederate brigadiers who would have had tbing3 all their own way in the session of congress just closed but for the unfliching nerve aud stiff backboue of President Hayes.

Tis done at last. The country once more breathes free. The heavy load which has weighed down the hearts of the people is lilted, aod all living creatures unite in singing praises to Almighty God for their deliverance from the cruel deliberations of that illustrious body called the coDgrese of the United States. Even the new songs is their months and twitter more cheerfully than they did before the adjournment of congress. Tire fowls of the air and the beasts of the field seem to take in the situation and express their satisfaction in various ways. Business has assumed its wonted activity, and people move with quickened step©, cheerful countenances and light hearts. The telegraph Hashed the news across the continent Wednesday morning that congress had adjourned the evening before at 5 o’clock, and ibe joyful tidings soon rung oat from every house and hill-top in this broad land. The eonntry will now have that Jong-soaght rest for which the people have been praying day after day and night after night for lo these many weeks. The congress just closed has been, with the exception of two weeks, in continuous session for seven tenths, aud it is no Tondcr its adjourn-

ment has wrought such a change with the people. The question is asked. What has congress done] in these seven long, wearisome months? Has it passed the relief measures the democrats promised should be passed, and which they declared the- people of the country so much needed to bring about prosperous times again? Did it repeal the resumption act which leading democrats claimed in their stamp speeches last fall was going to bankrupt this whole country and bring want and misery to thousands of families? Nary time ! Not a measof relief has been offered, bnt instead they have squandered millions of dollars of the people’s money, a4d passed a set of worthless laws which twill stand upon the records as a * living; monument of democratic reform that the people hav& heard so much about: A large portion of their time was spent in trying to nullify laws which they cotild not repeal, but in every iustauce they were frustrated in their plaos by the unified action of the republicans. They refused to make appropriations for United States deputy marshals, but set aside SIO,OOO for tbe investigation, and ordered investigations to Ije made during the simmer which will cost from 860,000 to 870,000. All this is democratic reform, and democrats clajm to be well satisfied with it, but it ]is our humble opinion that the masses of the people are sorely disflpsted, and want no more democratic reform in thdirs. One more session of congress like t§e last and the republicans will have a clear field for 1880. ’

RAILROAD MATTERS.

A new oompany, known as the Indiana* polisand Delphi Railway Company, has been organized to build a narrow gauge road between the two places named. It will be a continuation of the lfnl rfhw running from Rensselaer to Delphi, but under another name and management. A survey is now being made with the view of pushing the enterprise to an early completion. Dr. Lytle, of Delphi, is President of the new company.—[Monticello Herald. The directors of the Chicago and Indians Southern railroad met at Crown Point, Thursday, and elected the following officers: President, John Lee, of Crawfordsritle; . vice-president, David Turner, of Crown Point; secretary, James Ball, of Crown Point; treasurer, John Brown, of Crown Point. The road was organized for the purposed of furnishing transportation for the Clay county coal to Chicago, with a branch to Indianapolis. It is claimed that capitalists are ready to buy the bonds of the road as soon as the necessary local aid is assured. Crown Point has already voted $24,000 to aid in its construction.—[lndianapolis Journal, June 28th.

An important meeting of the directors of thq Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railway was held on Friday at Micbigantown, in Clinton county,severy township and impurtant point on the line being represented, not only by the directors, but by influential and wealthy citizens, who evince a determination to push forward the read to this city at the earliest practical moment. .On the part of tlie directors arrangements were made'for the completion of the survey and permanent location of the line, add the preliminary work for raising the means and pledges were made from every township outside of Marion county to vote a tax of two per ceDt. on the taxable property, and a further pledge of one per cent, more and the free right of way as donation in aid of tbe work. The engineer corps is now in the field. The road runs through the best agricultural portion of Indiana, and Is now completed and successfully running from Rensselaer to Delphi, forty-two miles, and the balance of the line proposed runs through Carroll, Clinton, Hamilton and Marion counties to Indianapolis, touching at Flora, Burlington, Middlefork, Miehigantown, Boylesfleld. Hillsborough, Boxly oV Sheridan, Westfield, Carmel, Norah and Broad Ripple. Nefthlr of these towns has direct railroad communication with Indianapolis, and while every aid possible should be given to the coal road, our merchants, grain and stock men and manufacturers should recognize the importance of opening up to our trade this fruitful section.—[lndianapolis Journal.

THE BRIGHT REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

The outlook for republican principles was never brighter than it is to day. All classes of republicans are thoroughly united upon principle. Much that was irritating in the post has been composed. The president shows no symptoms of deviating from the course he has adopted with the unanimous approval of the The revolutionary attitude of *lie democratic party, and its loose notions concerning the national honor, disturb and disgust reasonable Americans of various political affiliations, and the independent voter gladly embraces the opportunity to aid by his ballot the triumphs of the republican party. Let republican concord be maintained, and no apprehension need be had as to the result of the national canvass which is so near at hand.—[Rochester, Democrat and Chronicle.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

All communications intended for publication in Thi Standard should be mailed in season to reach this office Wednesdays in order to insure insertion the same week. Correspondence is solicited from every township in Jasper county, upon all matters of .local importance, viz., marriages, births, deaths, accidents, removals, improvements, crops, etc., etc. No pains will be spared to make this aa interesting feature of the paper, and it is the wish of the publisher that some person in each township will take the trouble to write up the news of his township and send it in for publication, and thus assist in making Tuk Standard the best local newspaper ia the county. Who will be the first to respond?

The claim set up by Yoorhees that he was the soldier’s friend during the rebellion, reminds «» of aa anecdote of ap old skinflint in Pennsylvania who was known to be very close and tricky in business transactions. Being at a love feast during • protracted meeting he was somewhat carried away by the excitement, and rising to bis feet began to tell his experience, “My friends,” said he, “1 have beeu an humble soldier of the ctosb for thirty years, and—” Here he was interrupted by a good brother, who exclaimed: “Thank God for that, Brother H . I have known you for twenty-five years, but never discovered that you were a Christian before.” Daniel should follow the old man’s example— sit .down and say no more on a strange subject.

DELPHI AND INDIANAPOLIS.

A meeting of thoseinterested in the eany completion of the railroad from Delphi to Indianapolis was held at the office of the I.D. & C. Railway on Saturday afternoon. A number of the leading citizens of Delphi and Burlington town, hip, as well as a representation from Clinton county were present, and the greatest interest was manifested in tbe proceedings. James Odell,'Esq , was called to the lhair and Will F. Claris appointed Secretary. By request, Dr. J. T. Richardson explained at length the object of tbe meetiog. Some days previous a meeting had been held at Westfield, Hamilton county, where was organized the Delphi & Indianapolis raihoad company. The capital stock was placed at SBOO,OOO, of which nearly all had been subscribed. The articles of as souiation had been filed with the Secretary of State. The uext move is tbe location of the line. Tbe neces ity for prompt, action was imperative, and the main object of the present assemblage was to provide means for bearing the expense attending the final survey. The Dr. further detailed his recent experience with the people of Frankfort, in an attempt to work uf> a sentiment in favor of the completion of the I. D. & G-. by that route. The Doctor did not draw a very flattering picture of the prospects in that di reciion. Frankfort has about all the burden she can bear, and since the development of the scheme to baild a bianch of the L. M, & B. from there to Indianapolis has been developed, her people are inclined to turn a cold shoulder toward the narrow gauge.— His own opinion was that the people of Delphi do not want a road to Frankfort. For himself he had always favored the rouie by Burlington. The formation of the new could be accepted as an abandonment of the line via Frankfort. Action upon the right of-way must be had at once, a j the proposed Frankfort and Indianapolis road will enter the city on the same line as the narrow gauge, and should the F. & I. obtain the first right-of-way, the narrow gauge would doubt less find that the second right-of-way would be found both difficult and expensive. The Secretary read a letter from Major Palmer and Calvin Fletcher of Indianapolis advising prompt action. Tho writers also said that wl ile the friends of Hie proposed road at the State capital were not as yet numerous, they were earnest, and would give the builders every assistance in their power. Colonel Yeoman followed in an instructive address,in which he explained the futility‘of ever hoping for a rail road thro’ Frankfort to Indianapolis. Delphi would have littlq or nothing to gain Lon\ such a road in local trade. The Colouel also detailed at length the superiority of the Burlington survey. First, the road can be built cheaper; seooud, more aid can be obtainod than for a road to Frankfort: third, it will pass through a section of country which ImS nevei yet been developed by railroads; it will meet with.no competition, and will open up a section of country which will be largely tributary to Delphi. He also insisted that the right-of-way Irom Westfield to Indianapolis should besecured atonce. Col. leoinua explained why the organization of anew company became necessary. The charter „r the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad calls for a road to Frankfort, and when it was determined to change the route, an entire new < orapany, working und er a separate charter, became necessary.

Other gentlemen, among whom were Dr. O. Gurd, of Middle Fork, Clinton county and O. M. Barnard, of Burlington, spoke at length. The only fear that these gentlemen had was that Frankfort, finding the road likely to go elsewhere, would reconsider their, determination and offer such induce ments as wouid secure the ehauging of the line to the original refute. Alter .he matter was thoroughly explained to them, and they were assured that the two comDanios were as distinct as the Union Pacific from Julius Verne's “Railroad to the moon,” they were enthusiastically in favor of going right uhead. The conference gradually changed into an experience meeting, during which nearly ail those present gave their ideas of what was best to do. — Finally, at a lute hour, the meeting adjourned, after securing enough of funds to start the surveying purty out. The surveyors, under command of Engineer Will F. Garris, left for Indianapolis on Mduday evening, aud will at once" begin"the location of the line. They expect to be absent about five weeks. —[Delphi Times.,
