1878- . ffllilOßSliMOCmT THE LEADING JOURNAL OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. ———l,4 • f! ’■ • The Globe-Democrat, since its establishment in 1875, by tho consolidation of the two Republican morning newspapers of St. Louis, has maintained an unquestioned place in tho front rank of Western journalism. Its growth in business nnd in circulation has been steady and uninterrupted, and, as its multitudes of readers will testify, its growln in all the essentials of a fiist-class newspaper has kept steady pace with the advancement of its patronage, until to-day it stands without a rival in the Mississippi Valley or the Northwest as to all that the people expect from a first-class Journal. Politically, the Globs.-Democrat is and has been Republican in sentiment and conviction. ticlioving that the Republican party, by its record in the past and by its pledges to the future, is the safest guardian of the public welfare, And the organization most likely to secure-good government to the people and to protect the rigiits of nil, we- have steadily atrivnn for the advancement of its standard in all public conflicts. We have at the .same time aimed, and shall in the future aijn, to bo honest ip criticism and fiilthful in record—to express opinions candidly and to tell she truth fearlessly. No cause can be advanced in the minds of inteßigcnvpedple by suppressing the truth, or by attempting to color tho facts of every day history. The proprietors of the Globe-Democrat can point with pride lo the record which this journal has made in the past as an enterprising, active and energetic collator of current news!—political, local and commer* ciaL lu this respect they have no rival in St. Louis, or in the West. With a vigilant corps of reporters in the city, and of correspondents nt all the principal news centers Eust and West, they have obtained, without regard to expense, nnd in uuvauce of all their cotomporaries, tho leading incidents, of each day’s iiatory, and in many notable instances they have distanced all Western rivals it) the fullness and detail of the news thus obtained. For the fullness and accuracy of its Commercial nnd Market Reports the GlobeDkmocrat has been especially noted in the past, and, with renewed exertions in this dfrection, we can safi.-ly promise to hold in the fitturotho precedence already won.

MISLEAD.

In the prosperous ci'.y of South Bend is a ir&Wspßper called the Register., It was born more than thirty years ago. Hon. Schuyler Colfax once owned, edited nnd managed it. This circumstance is a source of pleasure to its jircsent editor, who revels in its contemplation with the satisfaction that mediocrity feels which traces its origin to an ancestor who was conspicuous in antiquity. The Register is really a good paper aud needs not depend upon the reputation of a retired editor to command the recognition of intelligent people, Iu politics it is primarily Republican. No question can be raised as to the sincerity of its professions, or the honesty of its motives. But, notwithstanding these things, it.is. edited by an earthly being—A. man who, possibly, may not be rnfW+tbfv of judgment. Possibly he is subject to the infirmities common io the human race. Though his intentions are good and his motives pure, yet his penetration may, possibly, be superficial; or at times Lis vision may be obscured by passion. Possibly, too, in his zeal for the right bis impatience with wrong, or that which, through imperfect understanding, he fears is likely to result in wrong, at times overcomes the barriers of discretion.

Several months ago Hon. W. 11. Calkins, .who represents our district in Congress, published a letter in which lie professed sympathy for and confidence in President Hayes. Although the Register sooir afterwards followed tbeso illustrious footsteps, it claimed bo discover Democratic tendencies in the direction they led. Publicity through the columns of this influential jour-

nal waff given t)ie?e suspicions. Its editor bent his energy to the task and blowed a blast from his bugle loud and discordaht; Hiat woke ldngslumbering echoes and startled every one th art' heat'd. The blast was with vigor, begotten of .fear by despair. The Democratic newspaperN of the district, ever alert to create distrust among Republicans, added to increase the confusion, 'dr. Brower was horri fcd at the infernal din which, as a reverberating echo, returned to roost .on bis conspicuous cars. It crazed him; and, except short intervals, he has ever since shrieked and sobbed like a woman with hysterics. Even the name of Mr. Calkins, casually spoken iu his hearing, or meeting his gaze in harmless print, causes a shudder to tlifiinris frame ns November winds shake a rattling casement. Waive a blood stained shirt at the Inter Ocean, shake a red doth before a bull infuriated by banderilleros, and the effect will be tame in comparison with that produced when the name of Calkins flashes upon the recognition of this gifted successorof arenown’d predecessor! The inad tornados of St. Thomas, or the fierce siroccos of Sahara, or the e'e-ers, are as Italian zephyrs beside the fury of the Register’s malignant breath ! Terrific is a feeble adjective with which to qualify its frenzy. A short Time since the Republican members of the Indiana congressional delegation, haying a few moments’ respite' from the arduous duties of national legislation, amused themselves with the*harmless .diverson of passing resolutions. 'Of course there was incorporated in the series those hackneyed protestations of immortal love for the loyal soldiers and sailors who fought in the war of the rebellion nearly half a generation ago, which have served to.complete the symmetry of all the platforms of the Republican party—national, state, district and counjy—for the last dozen years. ''Why politicians of the Republican faith refer incessantly to this sentiment is difficult of explanation, unless upon the hypothesis that, they fear their acts are soinelimes and, like people of liberal chastity, feel it to be necessary to assure themseivet and hearers by admission that they are truly virtmms. Perhaps it may not lie thought remarkable that members of congress from a state whose laws allow suspected persons to testify in their own behalf in courts of justice should, through mere force of habit, practice abroad their local customs, .even bh ex-

traordinary occfisioffs. But, whatever may have been the reason of it, lion. John Hanna of Indianapolis introduced in caucus oie resolution referred to, and Mr. Calkins voted with his eight Republican colleagues for its adoption. The sound of Mr. Calkins’ aye fell upon Mr. Brower’s ears, and At unco there.rose so wild a yell Within that dark and narrow cell, As nil the fiends, from heaven that fell, Had pealed the banner-cry of helll Incandescent expletives and sulphurous denunciations were belched from the crater of the Register, as rocks and molten lava from Mating Loa. It denounced Mr. Calkins as a sham, a hypocrite

and selfish demagogue for voting (or this resolution of purely Republican origin. Another gentleman proposed it aird eight others voted for it, but upon Mr. Calkins -alone fell tho wrath of the Register, ed> ited as it is by one who was a brave soldier in the Union army—a paper that dare not for conscience’s sake question the justness of the sentiment'therein proclaimed. That the charge of hypocrisy preferred by the Register against Mr. Calkins is not true, is proven by that gentleman’s part in the debate and his votes while the army appropriation bill was under consideration In the House of Representatives. Mr. Calkins was a Union soldier as well as Mr. Brower; that ho rose from the ranks to the command of a regiment while Mr. Brower did not does not of itself prove either that he was a braver soldier or has the greater genius; nor need the distinction of the former in the army or in civil life quicken the caustic envy of the latter.

Pretending to fear that Mr. Calkins in endorsing the Civil Service a:i d So uihcru-policifi&Jif-Preaide n t Hayes was deserting to the Democracy, the Register followed elosely in his footsteps. ; Pretending to think that Mr. Calkins is a demagogue lor professing friendship for those who were his comrades in arms, the Register ignores the deliberate and irrevocable public acts by which he placed himself on record, nnd which called forth tbesTficlures of his Democratic compeers and the press of the Democratic party. Pretending to' hate shams and to be a Republican journal, the Register denounces Republicans for professing the dogmas of the Republican party. Pretending to think that Mr. Calkins is preparing to betray the party that elected him and is giving comfort to the enemy, because cunning and subtile editors-of Dmnocratic papers assert that the doctrines of peace and reform advocated by President Hayes, half a dozen state conventions of the Republican parly and Mr. Calkins arc fundamental principles of the Democratic party, to which the latter gentleman has been proselyted since bis election to Congress —pretending to believe this silliest of silly nonsense and berating Mr. Galkins for favoring the Democracy, tho Register ogles, wriggles, and darts languishing glances of eager willingness when these same Democratic editors pat its cheeks and quote with approving comment its articles, which they have the penetration to ace can serve no other purpose and have no oilier result than to distract Republican counsel and prevent harmonious action between the men who tvere invincible while united. Pretending true friendship )for the loyal soldiers of tlit Union, the Register in one article violently aud without just cause assails a gallant ex-sol-dier of Indiana, and in a contemporaneous article breathes a eulogy to the memory of the late ex rebel general Forrest and an apology for his cruel massacre of Union soldiers al Fort Pillow.

The South Bend Register, lion. Schuyler Colfax’s old paper, is now edited by Mr. N. V. Brower, an ardent, talented, earnest, conscientious Republican; but .Mr. BrOwer is edited by Mr.- Charles T. Murray, a virulent Democrat, though a captivating gentleman; when it is too late; to repair tfie disaster possibly the Register will discover its error. It is doing wrong. It is mislead. - The work of laying track on the Indianapolis Delphi & Chicago narrow-gauge is progressing as rapidly as possible. The engine has not arrived, and hence the contractors are compelled to propel the four flat-cars by band. About forty rods of track have been laid.— Indianapolis Journal.

The prospectus of the St. Lpuis Globe,Democrat fur 1873 .will be found elsewhere in these columns. The Globe-Democrat is tho leading Republican journal of the Mississippi Valley, and is a first-class newspaper in every respect. Its columns are freighted with the latest news from all parts of the world, and it? sHflc corps of correspondents adds another interesting and important feature to its rapidly increasing popularity. Besides its ably written editorials, reliable news summary and complete market reports, it contains valuable information and suggestions for the farm, garden and household, which make it an almost indispensable yistor to its many readers. The GlobeDemocrat should be in the hands of every family in tho Northwest, Its subscription price is so low as to place it within tlie reach of all. For terms and particulars see prospectus.

I n anblh er col iunn of tlii s p a per will be found the prospectus of that excellent and indispensable journal, the Scientific American, to which attention is directed. The Union takes pride in feoWimending the Scientific American to the reading public. It is the leading journal of science published in this country and contains more real valuable 4»formation than any other publication of the kind in the World. The subscription price of the Scientific American is $3.20 a year, but arrangements have been made with the publishers by which we are enabled to furnish it, together wjth The Union, one year, for $3.67, which includes postage. Now is the time to subscribe.

As was expected, the Remington quill driver got up on liis ear when that “Boss Raddish” item dropped down on his corns. It couldn’t be helped, though-. It is otir.friend’s misfortune, and we deeply sympathize with him. When a man’s ‘•understanding’’ assumes such huge proportions as to stint the growth of all the vegetables in the neighborhood, it is no wonder people tread on his corns occasionally.

One Cent a Day.

Economy is the order of the hour, and every expenditure, however small, is expected io give a return in full value. Every family requires one good, reliable family newspaper. If such an article can he procured,for less than one cent for each working day of the year, we are not aware of it. A family newspaper should contain a carefully prepared summary of all the news of the day, both religious andsecular; and if arranged so that the two departments may be separated and read by two individuals at the same tlVhe, so much the better. The family newspaper should have attractive reading and information for the various members of a household. Some portion of the paper should be devoted, every week, to religious and moral improvement, to current secular news, to agriculture, commerce, markets, finance, to general literature, &c., with a special department for the young. Above all, the family newspaper should be perfectly pure, and free frdm any contaminating influences in its reading matter or in its advertisements. Too much attention cannot be paid to thje,feature, when* the press is flooding the country with so much that is vile arid pernicious. To crown all, the fanaily newspaper should be untrammeled by any affiliation with sect or party,
