From the oar Host period in

history of mankind, tribes and nations have made war upon each other. The stronger have subdued, opressed and enslaved the weaker, ancLwherever power has been posessod by individuals, they have used it in most cases tyranicaily, and to the injuiy and disadvantage of their fellow men. It is this enslavement and oprcssion of the weak, this tyranioal and opressive exercise of power bv the rich and the strong? that the gospel of Jesus

fChTistfr5lSukes and condemns; it is

the leveling power oi tha gospel that makes it so disagreeable to the proud, the rich and t:he powerful ; They cannot and will not accept a doctrine that teaches that all men are brethren, and that we shall love our neighbor as ourselves but it is the very doctnue which has heen tho civilizing power of the world. It is this doctrine that has overturned the institution of human slavery, that has given to men equal rights, that teaches that nations, as well as individuals, in their dealings with each other should deal trouthf ully and fairly ; and do to them all the good they can. There is nothing that more clearly reveals the wickedness, the cowardice and brutality of a man than his treatment of the poor, the weak and the helpless the abuse of children, and cruel treatment and neglect to the aged and infirm, A town, community or church organization that takes no care of, and makes no provision for the education and kind treatment of its children, and no sufficient provision for tho aged and infirm poor, can claim no right to be regarded either as christian or civilized. And the state, no less than towns, communities and churches, should see to it, that those whose conditions are such that they cannot take care of themselves are protected by the power of the law. The poor ye have always," and they should be cared for, and the orphaned little ones, too.

Wednesday evening, Dr. Nomll of Greene county and P. H. Blue General manager of the Cincinnati & St. Louis railway, arrived here for the purpose of making the preliminary arrangements for building the road through this county. That this company Menus business is proven by the fact that they

have quietly been at work since last November making surveys, at a large cost to themselves and talking

railroad to no one. They discovered by the survey that a road through here is practicable, and ara now here for business. The3'" displayed their plans and maps at John Graham's oilice Wednesday night., where they met a number of our lending citizens. The map shows that the road wOl enter the county at about Kent's mill; then follow the meandering ;s of Stevens,' Salt and Ellis creek ip to Perry township; then take a North west direction through. Terry and Bioomington townships to the North corporation line of Bioomington, thence West erosarig the railroad in town above Dolan's Hoop factory ; thence on t hroo -ii Vanburen township, touching ::. part of Richland township, and out into Greene county at abouu a mile South of White Hall, or near the Owen county line. It was decided to appoint a committee to ascertain jus ; what wa3 expected of the citizens, &o the followin g gentlemen were sc&ctd : John Waldron, Major Per y, Nat U. Hill, John Graham, S II. Carmichaei, H. J. Feltus, W, A. Gabe, W. S. Bradfute, R. W. Mi $rs,H. O, Duncan, Mayor MuJky. A meeting was held at the grand jury room Thursday morning, when the following amo at of tarxables of the townships t trough which the road is to pass was submitted : Bioomington, - $1,396,783

- - 721,020 - - 438,515 . - - 127.645 - - 042,865

Perry, Vau Buren, Salt Creek, Richland, -

The taxable 3f the City of Bioomington is $1,480,527. The officers of the road present thought they sho uid have a two per cent tax, which would give them near $4,000 a mile for the 20 miles in this county. Tho cost to the company will be at least 12,000 per mile. It was decided to obtain the necessary signatures of 25 free-holders in each township, and then have the commissioners order the election. Not more than one per cent c&a be levied at a time,and none will be paid until the road is built. Sir. Alley, the President of the road who was present Thursday morning, and Mr.iJjBluo tho Gea'L Manager, left at noon Wednesday, but P;r, Nor veil will be in this vieiu-

Who says Monroe County is ntjvay. We will get the road at once

without doubt if we vote the tax,and we believe that will be done.

The City election last Tuesday was a very dull affair until after the returns began to come in in the evening. Tho principal fight was over Marshal and Gounciknen in the Fret and Third Wards. The Republicans ought to carrv all the Wards and elect their c$y ticket

by at least 250 majority, but the

returns show that many of the members of the rank and file voted for men instead of party. The Democrats lost a councilman in the

First Ward and gained one in the

Third. This is the first one elected l:a the Third Ward for ten years,

aind the second one that was ever

elected there. George Owen, the Republican nominee for Marshal, goes in by only five majority. If the opposition had been concentrated against him he would have been defeated. Now that he is

elected, if he does net make a good

Marshal it will be his own fault, as be has the Qualifications necessary to make a good officer. Doe Bates will continue to collect taxes at the old stand, while the Mayors onlee will bo presided over with dignity and ability by Mr. Moray Dnniap. Tbo Democrats had no ticket in in the field. They took no hand in making one, except to try and get ail the Independent candidates for Marshal but one to withdraw, but in thai; they failed. Mr. Fulk was solicited to allow hia name to be used for Mayor by soliid men of both parties, and h.Q received a higfiiy complimentary vote. The following ia tho result oi the election : FOR HATOB.

IRON ORE IN ABUNJDAHCE.

It has long been the opinion of the people in the vicinity of Stanford that iron ore could be found in large quantities in that locality ,but no eort in that direction was made. Recently some citizens expressed their convictions to the officers who are locating the new East and West railroad,. The officers said if iron ore could be found there in any great quantity the new road should go by the way of Stanford. A short search revealed a large iron ore field of about 60 acres on the farm of Mr, Dobson who is now in Wtchitar Kans. The farm recently belonged to W. B. Baker, wlio sold

it to join the Kansas boom, but now

will find that he let slip a bigger boom. The ore is over seven feet thick aiid the ledges are spread over fully 60 acres. The location is nearly two miles West of Stanford, a:ad nearly 10 miles from Bioomington. The new road will soon be built through this iron field, and a :aew era of prosperity will dawn upon the citizens of that locality. . .

STAY AX HOIK E. The men in Southern Indiana who has a good farm or is a mechan ic or clerk with a good situation and a comfortable home, is a fool to sell out and go ga 11a vanting north, south east or west in search of the golden Uaeee, There are drawbacks in Southern Indiana, but thsy are as few or lower than in any other spot of green earth Kansas has drouths, cyclones, grasshoppers, prairie fires, prohibition, vramau suffrage and other evils. Dakota has blizzards, floods, res, and untold other ills.

Southern Indiana lias a diversified ?oii, mi id ciimato, pure water and plenty of it, cheap lands and good markets, an enterprising population rood schools, churches, and alt the O ' ..." appliances of a high civilization.

A few evenings ago one of Bloomington's proMst and most popular belles was engaged in reading a novel, and unaware as to tho exact time, sho Judged the 'towns clock to be Bounding the ninth hour whe3a$ it was only the eighth, A fa taoinente later,thftre cajpa a rapping at the parlor door, and tho heroine- of our story sapposing it a tamp .refused to answer the coll. Another was followed by a still louder knocking and the mothor thinking it beat to discover who the intruder was,proceeded to the parlor door. Immediately behind her, followed the daughter armed with a poker,reay to deal the deadly blow did necessity compel her to ao do. The door was opened and to the astonishment of our heroine .there stood before the open door one of her gentlemen: friends ( a student of the State University) who had called, to pay his respects. At once there flashed over their minds the amusing situation that a misapprehension had caused, and amid general laughter tho Innoeent poker was laid aside and from that moment aUntnxerry as a wedding bell.
