THE RENSSELAER UNION.

Thursday, August 13, 1874.

It ia mighty encouraging to hear Republicans congratulating one another over the defeat of the Packard element at the Valparaiso convention. With “a glowing tint of sunset in his hair,” is how they describe the new red headed editor of the Indianapolis Sentinal, and his name it is O’Connor,, bejabers. Rev. George C. Harding, of the Indianapolis Herald, affirms that the milk of human kindness in Jane Swisshelni’s breast, turns sour with age. Skim it, George, if you want the cream—butter is worth 20 cents a pound in Rensselaer. Women participated in the re cent election in Utah to select a Congressional Delegate, and a very large majority of them voted for Cannon, the polygamist. The purity and morality party did not receive much encouragement from them. , , According to his home “organ” the Republican candidate lor ;Congress in this District will run this campaign a good deal on “personal magnetism.” Beware! That is how they used to account for Rev. Mr. Beecher’s popularity. “Personal magnetism” may be a good thing in Brooklyn, but out on these prairies some may object to having the thing run that way. In his Terre Haute speech Senator Morton said that there was but two parties in the country, “and between them there is no room for a thiid party.” The Senator was nearly correct—there is the rich man’s party and the poor man’s party, and Mr. Morton is the tri end of the latter. He favors strengthening the poor man’s party numerically, and would impoverish the whole country except railroad companies, bankers, and office holders. The Akron, (O.) Beaan says of Mr. Morton’s recent speech : “It may be said to be the best that could be made under the circumI stances. The issues, instead of being strongly self defined as here tofore since the war, now await defining by the most skillful politicians in the Republican ranks, and while they are clear and satisfactory to all who are strong in the Republican faith, they w ill be considered unimportant by the mass of doubting voters who vacilate between the parties and owe special fealty to neither.” Oh! Ho! Those blarsted Imlependents have broken loose in that stronghold of Democracy and high local taxes, old Allen comity. — They have called a mass convention of all who are in favor of retrenchment and reform, and opposed to all cliques and rings whose corrupt influence is seen in manipulating conventions in the nomination of men who will do their bidding to the detriment of taxpayers, to meet in Fort Wayne August 15th and nominate a countyticket. This movement has the sanction of the Republican party, and all good men hope it will prove successful.

The Rake is the somewhat equivocal name of a paper that has recently come under our notice.— It is not published at Brooklyn, nor in the interest of Plymouth Church, as possibly some might infer from its title, but it is a Grange journal, issued at New Orleans. The number before us is dated August Ist, and among other advice to its patrons is this : “Rutabagas, turnips, earrots, parsnips, beet®, strap leaved turnips, cabbages, salsify, spinach, lettuce, radishes abd snap beans, should be planted this week. Do not fail to plant Irish potatoes as soon as possible this month—the quicker the better.” The Laporte Hervdd grants it true that the Republican choice for Congressman from this District “for the past six years has operated as a ‘discouragement of talent?”— That is what Tag Union has been called a “nasty Democrat” for intimating all along. Bat the Herald. ought to be ashamed to punch poor Packard now he is down. Wasn’t Jasper sufficiently humbled at Valparaiso when be made that little speech pledging his cordial support to the man who sat by and consented while one of his friends offered Mr. Packard a gross personal indignity ? Let him up I And don’t crow until yon are out of the woods.

“For (Oiu-e in tfie history >■?. American polities,” says the Akron Beacon, a prominent'Ohio paper of Republican proclivities, “the two contending par4.ies__ are divided against themselves. There is ndt only no harmony in their ranks, but they, are not< : 1 r;i: To mention a national question is ( to disagree. The net r. suit of all . this will be an increased di.-. .dection after the thv'.i- :: ami the almost total dii-.olutibn < f buh organizations preparatory to a complete renovation ami re.crgaHi-zaiion tor the l’r. v.'ilia- a..- -§ i -7-.." This is dri a 11 A, d read f uT,GIr cm I - full What a horrid. th’mg it will be, if tleosc ebulemlmg parties are compelled -u renovate 1 What a departure from -‘tlnredroirOTed priid ciples” on the one fiaml, and an ignoring of “history and past record” on the other ! And, worse than all el.-w, to th ink th e ludepen tents cmiipclled. UyniLla...do.il. “No G ran.?i r need aiph.” .may now be cmisidern'l th - b i-’tl cry of the Republican party of the Indian a Ten th —Cmrigresm 'muFDtstrict. As was anticipated, the ring masters had it set up to .strike the Grangers a stunning blow in their | faces at the Valparaiso convention. All but fourteen of the one hnmlred and fifty-six vote.-, cast in t 1... t convention were given to candidates whose personal friends have been saying the most scandalous things about the Order of Patrons of .Husbandry. Not one- word of encouragement, not an expression of sympathy, and not a promise of relief from the oneruuK burdens imposed upon laboring classes, is there iir the platform that was adopted! Indeed all the platform contains is a resolution, endorsing that medley of inconsistencies promulgated at Indianapolis on the 17th of June, and a cordial promise to assist their candidate in getting office. So far as can be learned, only one commendable act was done by the convention (besides nominating their candi late,) and that was to snub .last'"; Packard, th-.' sitbiry grabber ami the anti-Packard element in tire District. The overwhelming defeat of Mr. Merrifield, of Mishawaka, was a merited rebuke to Mr. Packard and his myrmidons.

If the VtUpraiso Fidu'le is not misunderstood it advocates the- reduction of official .-Varies to a fair compensation fur the quantity and quality of work done. On i<ts face this proposition, looks reasonable. Why the public should be compelled to p£y for services of a specific kind than men engaged in private business do, is difficult to answer. The duties of our county officers, for instance, are .almost identical with those of an accountant; good pefimansh<p,rapid calculation, and a knowledge of book-, keeping, being chief requisites.— The salaries, fees quid perquisites o‘s public officers in Jasper county run from $2,000 to $2,400 and $3,000 per,annum, or $lO7, 82JO and $250 a month; yet they have no trouble to find men .equally as. competent as themselves lu„ do one half of their work for S4O and sso.a mouth. Everybody is talking about reform in public service and economy in public expenditures; parties, always put a plank of .this kind in, their platform's; p-ilitiqal mcctiug.s ul-

ways bass rm >■ luti<mtr'embodying 1 - these doctrines ; but all treat the subject as an abstract theory that ■sounds well ami looks nice in priqt, lut which is not susceptible of being redliceiPto practice.

Flowering. Shrubs.

A cor respond ent of the American Aejriculturisl writes: “This spring I have had a great show ot flowering shrubs, and am more than ever convinced that not half enough attention has been given to these.-© The most of my shrubs have now been out lor four years, and being well established, they flower with wonderful profusion. . A good selection of shrubs can be had at .•'twenty-five to fifty cents each, just about the price of some bedding plants, which last only for one season, while shrubs are practically for a life time. If asked to name twelve of the best, I should be puzzled, as the number is not large enough to comprise all the really desirable things. If my list wera twelve, six, or even three, I know three that I could not leave out : Wei'jela Deboisiana, Deutzia crenata, the double, and Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. Of all the Weigelas, and I think I have them all, Debois is by far the finest; it is so florifereach stem is a dense mass of dark rose-purple flowers, and neither stem nor leaf to be seen.— A bush which stands well above the fence, was, when in flower, a bright landmark, that could be seen a great way off. The double Dent.zia is not so s-howyy-but is one of those, charming shrubs that one is never tired of. Its flowerbuds are purple-tinted, and the contrast of the unopened buds .at the top of a cluster, with the pure white of the fully opened ones below is very pleasing. As to the greatflowered panicled Hydrangea, I have praised that so often, I am afraid it will be thought that I have plants to sell. As! have bus one plant, and that the largest I have seen, and never sold a plant of any kind in my life, 1 may be allowed to say that if restricted to" just one Shrub it would be this. It only comes in August when most shrubs are through.”

State and County Fairs.

At the annual Fairs are exhibited the results of the labor and experiences of the year, by the farmer and artisan. Here are found palpable facts and results, evolved of the theories, methods and fancies most in vogue, and out of these facts Jhe observant and thoughtful gather, practical truths to incoiTorate into plans and meth-

ods for the future. It is a duty that all owe to themselves, no-less than to the good of society, to attend the state and county Fairs, there to avail themselves of th© good, solid information which experience imparts. If men are industrious and yet do not succeed, the cause may invariably be traced to lack of information about their affairs.. The Fair is the great book of the accumulated experiences of qur most successful men. All th© theories and methods have been tested by them, and here they exhibit the result. It may be said in ti'uth that the time consumed! and money invested in visiting the Fairs pays a larger per cent, in the end than any other expenditure of the year. We carefully gather and garner the fruits of hands, and point to them with pride as the results of well-directed, intelligent effort. Let us not neglect the oportunities offered to gather and store away the information which must precede all successful physical eSort. Not only attend the Fairs, but gather there the fruits of your best labor and efforts at success.— lndiana Farmer.
