Senator McDonald’s Heroic Ideas not Endorsed.

If correctly reported, we do not indorse Senator McDonald’s heroic ideas of Congressional control of railroads. We still have more faith in the honesty of the people than we have in the integrity and ability of the avgyage Congres-man.—La-Forte Argus. *

An Excellent Paper.

The Rensselaer Union has reduced its size and its price. The former is, perhaps, well enough, but we doubt the propriety of the latter. The paper is an excellent one, but. we do not believe that fitly subscribers will be added on account of :he price. At the same time we wish it all manner of good luck.--Warsaw Northern Indiauaian.

Does Money Improve Morals?

' That nation which liuds and adopts a financial policy that shall increase the aggregate circulation of currency in proportion os the population increases, so that there shall always be a certain fixed per capita in circulation, will outstrip all others in wealth, intelligence, morals and general prosperity and enlightenment.—Fowler Democrat.

As Like as Not.

Is there in Rutherford Hayes enough of Abraham Lincoln’s sagacious patience An-1 manly prescience, and daring inconsistency, to put liis administration in advance of the times and their partisan leaders, aud make it as illustrious in the annuls of peace aud permanent good W 11 as Lincoln’s wa3 in theanualr war? tfthere is, whatever the professional politiciaDSor a partisan press may say, he willhave the American people, who sometimes make sharp work with parties and their leaders, to rely upon. —Springfield Repubicau.

The Best Way to Do.

Whether we like itor cot, the president’s southern policy Is a fixed fact. There is no need for Republicans to disagree any longer, for, whether the plan is agood or a had one, it eawnot now be remedied. The best way to do, therefor, is to follow the example of Blaine and rectify all differences within the party; for the meanest thing the RepubTicansTwere ever guilty' of, U erStKefitly more patriotic and preferable to the noble*t public act of* tii*- beio- ratie party siuct it find on Fort banner and attempted to rend the Union asunder!—Warsaw biorthern indianian.

Would Remove Himself.

♦ W# suppose ir president Hays* should Utter • word of politics iu Ibqae little speeches of hisfoo would remove himself. —Rochester Democrat.

Worse than the River Parishes.

Ex-Governor Pnckanl has gone out *f polities, shd spends all his time feeling the gums of the twins for teeth, and trying’ to tench them to talk. And when the twins are simultaneously smitten with tbo worst kind of nOoturunl anticonciliation colic Packard just aim up iu bed and hold* his hands over his eor», and say*: “Merciful heavens! Thnt ia worse than the river pfcri»hea.’’—Burlington Hawkeye.

Don’t Lose a Minute.

Keep busy. Tbe mitn who lias nothing to do ia the most miserable of beings. If you li&vc no regular work, do chores us farmers do when it rains too hard to work in tho Hell. In occupation we forget our troubles, and get a respite from sorrow. The man whoso mind and hands are busy finds no time to weep and wail. If work ii slack, spend Hie lime in reading. No man ever knew too much. The hardest students iu tho world nre the old men who know the most. If you lock books, there are free or very cheap libraries, at least in the cities, at your command. The man who does not acquire some item of useful information between day-break and bedtime must mournfully say, with the Roman Emperor, “I have lost one day."—Exchange.

ivarw m isr sun ©took: cop DRY GOODS JUST OPENED BY lm CCOSTSX3TS OF Staple Articles that are iu demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow, or money is plentiful or scarce. No attempt was made,to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my stock of goods for the spring and summer trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose durability and price would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a stock that will compare favorably in point of beauty with anything to be found in this market, while the standard quality and low prices of the fabrics must necessarily recoinnend them in an especial manler to people of judgment, rudence and economizing deres. No special enumeration! »t the articles comprising this new stock is deemed necessary from the fact that it is very well known that I deal in all articles usually found in collections of general merchandise in inland towns, but it may be well enough to say that boots, shoes, hats, caps, clothing, standard groceries, etc., are kept in addition to the assortment of dress fabrics and other dry goods. Calls of inspection and purchase respectfully invited R. FENDIG.
