MR. M AJPR'S TAX OUTRAGE.

L«ht week the ll< mid publi-I h eonte’.iiptihlp article from the Bun-’sclaor I’stos stating that lion. George Major refined tjupay his taxi's and tlireatcned thu collector, in IK<3. This was ;m in l.illn. ’lit '.l' (!».• i-.Hlrtiiid l.i\ w he h h.i I J»ceh voted, and at that time a 1? there seemo<l but little prosperL of the road being built the whole township in which Major lived (('arpenter township, or the one Remington is in) resisted this tax. or its collection. TJierc was no violence useil or threatened, except legal violence through the law .•—J/oaf/tv*//> .VjWfou#. Home of Mr. Major’s friends have reported (het it. wus -an .income . tax that he refused to pay ; this one siiys that it was an installment of railroad taX- What diHerenee does the nature of thp tax make, if it had been levied under the law and he attempted to resist the collection of it in violation of law? But Mr. Major’s friends only injure instead of help him by these weak explautilioiis, for they in efject admit that there is a foundation in truth for the charge, and fail of a good eommoh sense justiTieatioh of his conduct. Mr. Major had been a member of the board of .county commissioner's and was, or ought to have been, familiar with the financial condition of the county. He must have known, or might have known, that county orders were being protested by tlie treasurer for waiit of funds to pay them. Poor laboring men who took (lie orders for services done the public were compelled to discount them ten to fifteen per cent, for cash. It. was a duty, both in law and in moral*, for every citizen to pay It is taxes and as inueli as possible relieve th j county of her embarras.-ment. The years when Mr. Major's taxes were levied were

years of good crops, good prices, ar.il -nntversal prosperity. The taxes for no extraordinary jnirposc. Not a dollar of it was railroad tax. Tl’.at lie had paid the previous year. He had nn abuudanee-of property. The records show that liis assets were listed taxeOTmmnitMZlm 5257.20. Mr. Holdiidge Clark is at UTtTrTtrmrtnuwFTtvptrty-treasurer - vs .Jasper county. Hch;is been a resident of the county twenty years, and is justly regarded as one of its best citizens. Courteous, mild, aflifble, discreet, he was employed by treasurer L. C- Janes.(whose pi'esent address is Hutchinson, Kansas,) to make ctdiec.tiotis__p_f taxes from delinquents in Carpenter and some other townships. When lie asked Mr. JUajor for the amount due from him that gentleman ilatly refused to pay. When mi|/!ly expostulated With,' Mr. Major became greatly incensed and fell to abusing tiie government and public officers. Finally wb n. Mr. Clark, aft-er exh usting all persuasive arguiueiLta, suggested that as tin officer sworn to discharge his duties it would be necessary for him in case the taxes were i; "Hflit paid voluntarily to attach pioperly ami collect by forced sale, Mr. Major forgot liignity, propriety, and even pis profesions of religion. He raved like a lunatic, swore like a ■muleteer, tffld declared (hat he would shoot Mr. Clark or any other man. who-should set fool im premises for such a purpose. Thi- is no campaign falsehood, . It is a concise, statement of an episode that actually happened. It has been ; alluded tq.before by the public prints. Three weeks have passed since the friends of Air. Major Spoke to him alioiints publication. A copy of Tiie Union containing it wa* mailed to him direct from this dike. By his I continued silence he Virtually eon desses its tiutlifulness.,’. He dare it openly for there are too many people living who kimw the facts. L

When democrats talk about the u tsiuimess Of the 'd i vfsToli of the ' state into legislative districts, assure theiHmiklly but linnly ttiat lue first body elected under the pi esent ar. rd'hgeinent considered that they had ■ honored themselves by eleetiiig Hon, I Joseph E- McDonald United States i senator. Tell iheniigently but firmly j (hat they had control of the senate ■ branch at its last session. Tell them .softly bat earnestly that should they 'get an opportunity it would be in keeping with the record and tradf" lions of their party to practically disfranchise two-thirds of the republican voters'in the state, liefer them to th costate of North Carolina with her 110,000 republican votets and only onVrepublican representative in conitd.ttOO repuo'htxm voters , and not one ‘ republican representative'in congress, the Male of Virginia with l''>,Oi>o republican voters and not a republican !.representative in congress. Tell them ■ study yet positively that this is a vain ami wicked, world, unit a deceitfid generation; that you would like to i Inive the state fairly apportioned; t that you are||ardent for reform; but that the record of. the democratic purty for the past quarter of a century forbids you to hope In that direction, i and that it requires . the exercise of 1 top much y.redulity to believe that the intentions of a party are strictly hottestt.haL df'Ctsu salary-grabber to the supreme court, of the stale, that gives oil its state ticket, ami that moans to ’ r elect anoUi er sh I ary •grabber to -tt»o

One of the famotiH reformers <»f thin neck of timber in Hon. George Major who was elected (to tlio stale senate four years ago on a red hot reform ticket. He hadi much to say that campaign übcmbwe enormity of sat-ary-grfthbingin general, ami of republican congressional shinty-grabbing in particular. If the jieofile would only elect him to an office lie would show them a model of "otiieial integrity. His fees should always be moderate ami only for Services actually rendered. To lenrti how closely the dear, good old gentleman fulfilled his prornisea.tu.lqjde.wn,lli£, acuate Journal. _pl_ 1877, turn to pages 41(1 and 922, showing that lie was absent from duty at two different times. Then go to page 989 where is an exhibit of his bill, which reads thus: By mileage $41.60, by per diem regular session $36(1, by per diem special session S6O, total $467.00. Not n dollar deducted for the time he wasabsent, but the pay drawn witli a regularity that would send a thrill of joy through the system of any salary-grabber in the land. Mr. Major hears a skeleton rattle in every cupboard, and sees a spectre on every hearthstone;, lie knows that gaunt starvation stalks abroad through the land; enormous taxes and a dearth of moiiey are crushing the very life out rs tiie people; yet he does nothing to lessen their grievous burdens, and even makes them pay him for his days of recreation and idleness.

Woe unto the democracy of JusptY county, for they are badly rattled. Woe unto ‘‘our party organ at the county seat,” for its substance is wasting away. McEwen dreams in his sleep of colonized voters, mid the doctor raves about them in his waking hours. - They hear the footsteps of a republican in eygry rustling leaf, and they sbe the form of one in the shadow of every forest tree. The whole north country is full of them, and they howl for the f:\te of the flats. This is a wicked world, and its deCfittfuluesSTls past the tongue of man td tell. Leaf by leaf the roses fall, and one- by one the fiats return to the house of their father. Four hundred is the majority of the republicans in Jasper county and they’ll all vote without scratching a ticket. Good bye, little coalition, for “you is done gone played out.”

The Canvass in Indiana.

There is literally no money being used in the canvass, and the parties are unable to distribute political documents in any great quantity. There being no national contest, ’and the is ues being purely of a financial and business character, they are not; such as to awaken a deep feeling among the people. It will not, therefore, be surprising if there is not a full vote polled. The business men of Indiana have, however, a peeuliar interest +n the coining election, and if they neglect that interest thev will only have themselves to blame. The issues are being fully and intelligently discussed, both 011 the stump Rad by the press. There will, before the close of the cuhvnss, have been meetings held and .speaking done by both parties in every school district in the state, nnd every man will have had an opportunity to hear tho issues presented. There has been no canvass made since the organlzaitlon of the republican pttuty in which the republicans were more clearly ami distinctly in the right, and thedemocrats more radically and distinctly in the wrung, than in this. The republicans of Indiana have, after many years of vacillation and doubt, assumed a position on which they nre ns sure to prevail in the end as that tlje government endures,, democrats have, on th# other hand, ,undertaken to prevail by coquetting withdoctrines and combinations that must carry them down, and that speedily. The republicans nre not yet all in earnest in supjiort of these doctrines; t|iey are growing more unanimous wit h each returning week. We have now less thin twenty days in which to complete the canvass.' We have a’lfew specific; appeals to moke, and’ vineerely ■ trust republicans Will heed them. They nre thesfe: First, let no business mart fail to exert every influence in his power, front.; infw iiutil the day of the election, to in-erea-e the-reptrblietHv vote; secund let no man induce you, under nny pretense, or by any appeal, to siy-ateJi yu> name upon the republican ticket; third, let every republican in the state set himself to work to procure uno vote ibr the ticket between now and the election; fourth, let no republican, from any cause, fail to ba at the election and vote. Wu say to the republicans of Indiana, in conclusion, if you fail in the coming contest it will be on account of your own apathy and indifference. — India' »•<polis Jvui’nalt ;

' -Jilts advantages to Indianapolis ns a local road enn not be overestimated, or ftilly apprceiuled, by the business men of our city, ns it will place the agricultural resotivcei mid business of u country to the nortli-we-t to a distance of a hundred miles or move .in easy daily and cheap conuict with, the ansi, ncss of Indinnnpol.s, whirls is nt present entirely shut off, except by indirect and rirmtitotis mules. u—* Il ir not the intention of the parties Io approach the people of (his city far pecuniary aid until they shall have completed the road to Frankfort, r.t which point they will intersect the east and west railway. When there they w.ll confidently rely upon the popular character of the three-foot road to so comtncnd itself to the business minds of Indianapolis us to receive their confidence nnd pecuniary aid nnd shppofr. That portion of the rond which is in successful operation is doing a lucrative business in moving farm and manufactured products. The truck is smooth, the ears coniodious and comfortable, while tho .speed which trains run compares favorably with some of tho best roads in lbr> state. The rails nre bid on ties the mum size, as those used on the broad gauge, except in length. They mnko n solid road bed. The roliiag Stock is built cn the some principle hh<> pattern as used on the broad gauges, while the cost of construction is coueiderubly less, consequently the cost of shipping m;d transportation will be reduced.—-Indiaiui-polls Sentinel.

Tlio renders-of the newspapers of the day constantly see mention made of Trunk Line railroads, but comparatively few fully underUr,nd whit is intended by the designation. S. me three or four railroad lines running westward from the Atlantic seaboard, era sometimes not wrongly called Trunk Lines, as they form the main arteries Of traffic toward tho West. If nny railroad in the country deserves or is ent : tlcd to the nnfho of a grand Trunk Line it is the Chicago & North-Western Railway. The company operating this greit line now controls more miles of railway than any other in America, if not in the world. Il is by all odds the. most important fine of railroad in any way running out of Chicago carries anything like as many passengers or hauls anything like the volume of freight that is transported over this road. Il alone runs in nnd out of Chicago every day in the year, nearly as many passenger trains as al) the other Chicago roads put together.* As it is with passenger trains so it is wt'h freight—it not unficquently brings into Chicago fifteen bundled loaded freight cars in a single day. and if it doe* not bring in a thousand cars it* managers think it is doing poorly. Forty to fifty passenger trains daily, leave and .arrive nt its depot at Chicano. Of suburban passengers it carries more than nil the other roads that rurt to or from Chicago. These are facts that can be established by any one wishing to do so. No road but the very best could do the business this great lino docs. Its track is of the heaviest steel rail, and is kept in constantrepair by the constant vigilance of an army of track men, and is patrolled day nnd night the year through, for the double purpose of keeping everything connected with It in perfect condition, and for the entire safety of its patrons who are traveling over it. i • * '. No road any where caq show a superior track, finer coaches, stronger, swifter or better locomotive engines; and no other road west of Chicago has ever attempted t> approach It hi its equipment of Pullman Hotel and Sleeping Coaches. It alone, of till’tlio western ttyids has the celebrated Hotel cars, nnd oh this line cnly can tho traveler between Chicago and the Missouri river procure the comf rts and luxuries that these cars alone can furnish. Other lines may talk of Dining cars, artd sixtUonwheol coatfiies, but not one of them can offer you a Pullman' or any other fbrm of Hotel ear. These cars combine great Injury with the greatest obtainable cotfifert, and at no increase in expense over the cothmon, old fashioned nnd ordinary sleeping car. The mnrVcl of those that travel on them is to kn-iw how the company can afford to run them and charge no more for berths than is charged in the old fashioned sleeper. The answer is found in the great volume, of travel this road is carrying. The thousands flock to its linei whore the hundreds seek its competitors. We are sure that no one who has once seen these cars would ever use any other if traveling in the direction they ran. Tin y are not for tl.e exclusive use of the rich, but aie just us comfortable aud elegant for the poorer traveler—costing to occupy these cars, fitfinore than does the Qcctrpanoy of the old fashioned sleeper. jn» one need for fear of expense, bo prevented from using them. They have become “the rage," so to speak, with th®, Californians, and have attracted (he majority of that of travel. Iflyo'.t nre about to travel cast or ; west between Chicago and Council flltiffs, Omahn, Denver, or San Francisco, it will pay you to see that you get your tickets by tho Chicago &■ North-Western Rtplway. Al some future time we may give you further ideas about lliis great road.—T/<e Demcerat.
