Rev. Hope B. Milter was elected Moral Instructor of the Northern Penitentiary by. the. Directors, at the same meeting the other officers were selected. Mr. Miller is sure 1 of a large audleuce each service for the next two years. A democrat* ic preacher preachtng to a democratic audience is fight and proper enough. When we view the grand field of corruption presented to us by the democratic party, we are astonished to find so many honest well meaning citizens who are so blind to conviotion that we are constrained to exclaim in the language of the Scottish proverb: “Those who are long gone in the line will never change.’’ The widow Oliver, who sned Simon Cameron for breach of promise, is now an inmate of the poor honse of the District of Columbia. She tried to get a living by lectnring, with the scandai for a text, but after several attempts concluded that the public didn’t want to heather story. “Thea over the hills to the poor house.” The committee appointed by the Legislature to investigate the accounts of Clarence A. Buskirk, eX-Attorney-general, have completed their task. ‘The result of their investigation is a fair sample of democracy and “reform.” By the report of this committee, it is shown that the total amount of Mr. Buskirk’s defalcation is $26,957.60. Thisfor the people who wish to follow a party, that steals of their mor - ey in the short space of two years, $26,000.

It was said in these columns last week that no business man of Rensselaer had gone into bankruptcy since 1868 or 1869, and that the fact spoke emphatically for the integrity of the people. It is also pretty good evidence that Rensselaer is a pretty good trading point. Other equally strong testimony may be adduced to sustaiu this proposition. Within the last two years, while people all over the United States were complaining of stringent times, the people of central Jasper county have paid out $75,000 taxes and voluntary donations to build a railroad; within the same period those who live in Rensselaer have built dwelling houses and business blocks of the value of the entire improvements of this character in* the town previous to that time—that is to say, within three years the valne of the improvements in the town of Rensselaer has been doubled. Not another town in the State of Indiana can truthfully say as much. There is no excitement, no speculation—

all is legitimate and calm. The improvements spoken of are all of good substantial character. Two and three story brick dwellings aud business blocks, that no town of 1,000 or 1,200 inhabitants need be ashamed of; indeed such blocks as the Nowels hotel and Alfred Thompson’s dwelling, and Willey & Sigler’s opera house are not inferior to the best buildings of their character found in cities of 10,000 population. Town lots, and lands in the neighborhood of this thriving, prosperous town are very cheap. The owners have never held them at their fair Value. They are not monopolied by speculators. There has been no fever,' there is now no lassitude, no nervousness, no prostration. Three years hence the condition will all be modified. The country at large is entering upon a scene of new prosperity. Money is plenty at the great centers of exehange and the holders are seeking paying investments. Business will be unprecedentedly brisk with ns directly. Within two years the present prices of real estate both in the town of Rensselaer and throughout central Jasper county will appear surprisingly small. Those who own land here now will be able to realize large profits from it in a short time.

Indianapolis Journal: Senators hees and McDonald, of this State, are both making speeches in Ohio. The former is laboring to prove that resumption has not been accomplished, and that the country is on the road to ruin, while the latter freely admits that there is a great revival of prosperity, and'that- tbw

only trtre moi.cy is. gold and silver. These two Indiana statesmen, at opposite ends of the financial line, fairly represent the patent reversible Democracy. Indianapolis Journal: The gifted Gooding of this State is prancing around ia Ohio making what he calls political speeches. People who used to stand Within a hundred yards of William Allen while he was speaking cannot come within a mile of Gooding without putting cotton in their ears. He and Senator Voorhees spoke together at Columbus, Saturday night, David furnishing the sound and Daniel the fury. The audi ence was completely prostrated. ™\ Go tc the sluggard, thou ant,consider his ways and tramp. Immense stock of merchant tailor goods received this week at T. M, Jones’. Bargains unprecedented in tire jewelry line at Orwin’s. He is closing out to .move away. Try Jones, the tailor, for that new suit; if something nobby and durable and cheap is wanted. No better stationery in Indiana than is found at the post office. Closing out stock at low prices. A number of poultry fanciers propose to organize a county.poultry association in tha near fu tare. Men’s and boy’s fashionable tailoring cheap at Jones’. Call and see the new stock just opened Fine fancy suitings at Jones, tha tailor’s, are the nobbiest goods for men’s and boy’s wear yet introduced.

Old newspapers for sale at The Union office for 10 cents a dozen. The best and cheapest reading matter to be ha'd. Jones, tbe tailor, has this week opened the largest, finest, best and cheapest stock of cloths for men’s and boy’s clothing ever displayed in Rensselaer. Dr. O. C. Link, has moved his office and residence in the dwelling house formerly occupied by J. S. Wigmore, on the corner of Cullen and Washington streets. Jones, the tailor, is unsurpassed ns an artistic cutter and fitter. His new stock of merchant tailor supplies is elegant. None better can be found in the market. It is true economy to employ Jones, the tailor, to tnake fine and business suits for gentlemen. They fit better, wear better and are cheaper than slop shop goods. Another of those excellent’and beautiful Western Cottage organs has been received by W. S. Orwin, jeweler. He is about to close out business in Rensselaer and does fiot move the instrument, therefore will sell it at a bargain.

Orwin, the jeweler, will be with ns only a few days. If anything in his line is wanted now is the time to get the benefit of low prices. He is bound to sell all bis present stock before leaving, if low prices will be an inducement to bnyers. We hope Mr. F. J. Sears will conclude to remain in Rensselaer as the community cannotafford to loose as public spirited and enterprising a citizen as he has shown himself to be since he located here. There are several kinds of business which he coifld engage in aud conduct successfully. - Harvest is over and the crop was excellent, unprecedented. Prices are good and cash is ready for it. Delinquent debtors have been treated with uniform court esy and leniency. lam now about to w itbdraw from the business in which these accounts were contracted and desire to close up my books. Thole who have been favored as above indicated will not only prove their honor but also show their appreciation of favors by making Settlement without delay or personal solicitation. Respectfully, Horace E. Jamßs.

Mens', boys’ and children’s suits sold at prices that will astonish the closest cash buyers. The largest and cheapest Stock of clothing in Rensselaer. Leopold can not be beaten.
