THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18,1883

FOURTEEN men, threshers, who were Sleeping on the lower flower of a granery «e*r Moorehead, Minnesota, were suddenly buried under fourteen hundred bushels of oats precipitated on them by the breaking of the upper floor. Four died from suffocation before they could Jbe rescued and the others narrowly escaped. All felt their bats, though they were not wild oats and were not of their sowing.

THE Shakers have now formulated their doctrines so as to make the end of the world a sure thing in a very few years, provided all men and women were to become Shakers. Their religion8 creed puts Ann Lee upon the second pinnacle of earthly sainthood. Their moral code enforces virgin purity, abstinence from marriage and from all offence against chastity, a community of worldly "goods, affection, interests, etc., temjjerance, non-resistance and freedom from world!y ambition. If this be the true system of happiness it ought to be•come universal, ana universal adoption yonld be the end-of it.

A STOCK LAW DECIalONI Judge Bonner made a ruling upon the stock law, in a case in the Decatur Circuit Court, a short time ago, that will be oi great interest to farmers.

The common law requires every person to keep his stcck on his premises and this is the law in Indian a,except in so far as it is modified by statute. There is a statute that provides that the Board of Commissioners of the different counties of this State may direct, by an order entered on the order-book of their Court, what kind of domestic animals shall be allowed to pasture or run at large on the unenclosed lands or public commons. IV hen such an order is made stock may run at large without it the common law rule prevails, and every person is required to fence his own stock. In this eountyno such order has ever been made. Without any further statement it would seem clear that stock may not lawfully run at large.

But the Legislature in a later Act—the ^|£stray law—provided, that no person should take Op animals between the first of April and the first of November, un. ess found within the enclosure of the taker up. It was contended that this by implication repealed the former Act and abrogated the commOn law Two sets of legal opinions went out upon this question. As might be expected a law suit arose, and it came before the Court in the case of Benjamin F. Denham vs.

Martin Moore. Moore is a large land owner with three or four miles of outside fence, and hie possession adjoins the town of Newburg. He claims that he has been tor years annoyed and injured by trespasses ot the village cattle, and that it was a hardship to fence against them, and determined to enlorce the law, or at least test the question!" iLast May he louod Denham's two cows at large and impounded them, and exacted the sum allowed by statute before he would surrender them. Denham sued before a Justice ot the Peace and recovered it back, and Moore .brought the case to the Circuit Court on appeal, and the question arose on'answer to the complaiat.

Judge Bonner held that the two statutes mentioned were not in conflict, and that in the absenoe of an order ot the Board oi Commissioners directing wha stock may run at large, every person is required to keep his stock on his -own premises and if found at large at any time in the year, any resident of the township may impound it. That the Es,teay law contemplated that the Board 'would make no such orders and it was only in case they did that estrays could •ot be taken up between the periods ^mentioned, unless found in the enclosure of the taker Up.

OPINIONS ON THE OHIO EI.BC TION. Various papers view the result of the Ohio election in various ways. Everything depends on the standpoint occupied by the editorial oracle. From ou the nettle of present defeat Republican papers pluck the flower of future victory, and believe that the party prospects are looking up because that is the only direction in which a person lying fiat- on his back can look. As illustrative of the faculty ot drawing comfort from what is uncomfortable the Cincinnati Commercial says:

In addition to the Governor, the Democracy have to accept the responsibility of the Legislature, and they can repeal the Scott Law and submit a few amendments to the Constitution if they please. They are expected and desired ito amtkse themselves.

The great cry about a little wool du'y helped the Democrats some, and the notion that their vineyards were to be cat -down, lest the purple grapes offend, hnd its influence in the wine-making districts, but the did German guard stood in the storm like the Imperial Guards of their fatherland, when the fire hail flies.

The prohibition tury did the job, however. The Prohibitionists must have voted more neavi ihtn was anticipated for their own particular ticket, and they vould not put up with reasoniog, or

listen to remonstrance, but from enthusi- ENGLISH AND AMERICAN FABMING. "England with all its boasted examples ot fine management is not halt farmed," is lh& striking and truthful admission of the Times, made in the course ofa recent article advocating steam ploughing. Thearticle goes on to say that the extent ot

a on they became violently excited, and grew rapidly intolerant. They have sacrificed a great good, and have nothing to show for it. Perhaps they will get the Democrats to submit their favorite amendment to the people next time.

On the other side the Cincinnati NewsJournal, the new Democratic paper which is supplanting the Enquirer, gives You I land, cultivated at excessive cost for i*s views on tbe Dem&cratic triumph as follows:

The Republican party organization is broken. Its iron power and its courage of conviction and eonsoiousness of a mission are gone, Democracy encountered more ana greater opposition than many Democrats expected, bat it was not from the strength of the Republican organiza tion, or any great lingering power in Republican ideas. It was—and most wholesomiBly it was, and with great promise to Democracy—mere opposition and not that positive Republican unity that has been hitherto encountered. It was opposition which came from scattered, widely divergent, and even antagonistic elements, and on .account of various ideas of public policy. The basis was, of course that constant element in all party struggles—the great masses ot the old and effete Republican party, who still cling to ihelr old alignment, held by tbe power of conservatism. The great mass nothing can change and nothing will change. This constant quantity to which Foster and the managers endeavored to make sufficient additions to elect a governor and a legislature was reinforced IH singular ways from various quarters and from singular elements.

There were liquor men voting for the maintenance of the Scott law there 'vertprohibitionists, drawn out by the second amendment, voting for the Republicans because the Democratic candidate hud been attorney for the liquor men and because many liquor dealers were voting for Hoadly: there were taxpayers, vtd by the same cause, and be iering, became they saw liquor dealers supporung the Democratic ticket, that t)i mocraciy would repeal the Scott law and do away with the liquor traffic as a source of revenue there were advocates of m£e regulation, not believing in prohibition, not caring for taxation or the rights or interests of the liquor traffic, who voted ior the Republican party, expecting from, it regulation. Thus the double dealing of the Republican party was partly successful to deriving their support from the most antagonistic and opposed interests, ideas and sentiments.'

It was not strong enough to overcome the positive spirit ef Democracy which is abroad in the land. That positive idea and sentiment rises higher with the people and is stronger than any or all single oruQitedand subordinate local sentiments.

Thfe victory means an end of the boss and machine system, and of a combined boss and business political system, maintaining itself by any and all means, an end of too much government, a restoration of popular common sense as the governing principle in America.

As to issues, these will be reached in due order. The first thing is to put down the hidebound, narrow, exelasive, too powerful Republican system the next to inaugurate anew Democratic era then comes the consideration cf issues. Prior to that is obviously to determine whether issues shall be dealt with from the Republican standpoint and according to Republican ideas, or from the Democratic standpoint and according to Democratic ideas."

Then as an outside and up-on-the-mid-dle-of-the-top-rail-of-the-political-fence opinion come3 the Chicago Evening News with a nicely adjusted brae'e of opinions made to hit and mis3 both, as the occasion required. It says:

The result of the Ohio election is not a surprise to us. We have from the very start predicted the election of Judge Hoadly, basing that prediction upon the superior merits of the man, tbe weakness of the opposition, and the imbecility with which the Republicans have conducted their campaign. Governor Hoadly will make an able executive, and the intelligent public will rejoice that the man Foraker has been relegated to that obscurity irom which his party foolishly raised him.—[Private to foreman: It Hoadly is elected, print this, sure.]

The result in Ohio is what we predicted and confidently expected. Ohio is not recreant to her duty and her tra. dilions. She remains in line as one of the grand old Republican states, there she will remain under the masterly guidance of honest Ben Foraker, who, has buried in eternal obloquy the sickly, whimpering head and front of tne opposition. Ronssty, brains, and manhood have triumphed, and chicaaery, malaria and quinine have been buried deep in oblivion. [Private to foreman: If Foraker is elected, print this paragraph and omit tbe other.]

PEOPLE who have been waiting for years for fortunes from over the sea that have never seemed to materialize, will be gratified lo learn-that sixty o? the Maaher heirs met yesterday at Chicago prepared to posh their claims tor a fabulous amount of British gold left by one Daniel Masher to his brother Hugh who settled in Khode Island in 1660. A will of Daniel's bequeathing his wealth to Hugh was found after a hundred years. Whether the crown of England and the Kohinoor diamond are among tbe Maaher possessions, is not mentioned, "but doubtless Magna ('harla aqd an undivided interest id the Irish agitation are numbered among its choicest choscs in action!.'

It is entiiely true that tbe methods of English farming are qu'te a? much at fault as the soil and climate. The whole system is loaded with costly ami clumsy processes, and with a waste of labor only can competitor does. English invention is active, and there are new implements constantly introduced, but they are.usually too costly and too little attention is given to economizing labor. The Americaq workman must have the ait of turning off a large amount of work, or bis principal will not employ him. Here in the West one man attends thirty acres ,of /corn, or a like area ot wheat. Every process is skilfully devised and executed—the growing, harvesting and handling, up to tbe last act of lading on ship-board. In fattening and shipping of cattle and of dairy products, the same condensed system of management exists, and, therefore, the lowest prices are remunerative here, but destructive in England.

It is hi the methods of cultivation that tbe English farmer is chiefly beaten, and t) merely introduce steam ploughing will not suffice. And all the changes attempted must be directed to the simplification of processes and the use of tools to be compensated by the extreme high prices ot the crops, which formerly could always be relied on, but nqw are impossible. American competition cheapens everything, not grain alone, but meats, cheese, milk, butter, fruits., and even vegetables. What cannot be sent fresh is put up in cans, and the fertility of American invention accomplishes what no other agency could possibly accomplish. The English farmer must cultivate at leas cost. If steam can save in ploughing, or more shapely instruments caii turn more soil, he must do as his Ameriof greater efficiency and less cost. The English farmer must give up routine and emulate his Illinois competitor. The prairies have become counties »f England, now as near him in Lancashire as Ireland was not many years ago. The cheese dairies of Western New York are now only across the Channel, and corn-fed Kentucky Durbams are driven through the street! oi Liverpool. The American farmer is so near as to be dangerous, and thare is but one possible mode of escape, which is to Americanize British farming.

CIVIL 60VERIWEHT.

The following article was written td be delivered before the County Teache*s' Institute last Saturday by W. G. Benford. teacher of Shepherd school, Fayette township, but was not able to attend and we print it in the GAZETTE.

The fundamental principle of our government is this, that the governed are the governors,—in other words, the people constitute the sovereignty.

We, you and I, govern ourselves. This is the result ot developments caused by ceriain influences

Had not these influences been so directed, the result would have been a different kind of {rovernment.

It seems that this was not left to tbe wisdom or power of man alone, as it w&9 the intention of the mother country, to own us as tributary to itself, and the o&ly thought which inspired the colonials was the hope ef freedom. It is certainly true that no one had thought of a lorro.

This is evident from this coincident. In a certain battle of the Revolution, while the British soldiers eried, ."God save tbe King,'1 the American soidiirs cried "God save Washington," and at tbe close ot the Revolutionary struggle the people said, ''Washington will" be our King." America's heroes had been the uuwiliing tributaries of kings. This they did not wiRh to be again. By hie actiens Washington said let us be citizens. and his example lives to-day.

This country has been governed in four ways: 1st by a colonial form of government, 2d by the continental congress, 3d under the articles of confederation, 4th. under the present constitution.

There are fhree primary reasons why our constitution was tormed: 1st a colonial government made this country depend upon a foreign power 2d the continental congress was a temporary expedi nt to maintain the safety and independence of the co.onies 3d the articles of confederation granted too little power to the genetal government.

Tbe authority ot tbe constitution cannot rise above the people any more tbkn a brook can rise above it3 Bource: but by elevating the source, the constitution may be elevated.

As by elevating the source, the bro6k may be e.evated. Our constitution provides three departments ol government: 1*. The legislative, or tbe power which makes Jaws. 2. The executive, or the power which carries tbe laws into effect. 3. The judicial, or the powei which interprets the laws.

As I was requested bv our superintendent to write on the subject of civil government, I will not aesume that he wished me to expound the constitution, which lies in reach of you all, but will say to the teachers, tba'. we have the future United States in our hands for the present, and why not instill into the youthful mind tho principles of selfgovernment. Don't talk to it of the man it is to be. Make it the man now. The real man is-tlie sum of an individual's habits—good and bad. .Those habits constitu'e along column, which is being written in indellible numbers all through life—chiidhoo youth aud old age.

The eum, though found in the number0, is never written, unless it be at the Judgment Bar. Then constitute your school a Congress. Let your pupils be the legislative and judicial—their teacher lie the attorney-general and executive, and eee that the administration is complete.

Let the boy be a man, and the girl a woman, to-day. Let them govern themselves now, and the future America will stand tbe s-t rms of time, and remain the home of the true citizen. 'r*Hi 0TTEB»CREEK NOTES.,

Painful News Concerning One of Terre ante's Brightest Youuff Men.

—Interview

Senator Voorhees and Mr. Hewlove on the Subject

The following special dispatch to the Cincinnati Snquireifcnd article in the Indianapolis Journal will be read with pain here, where young Voorhees passed his boyhood and is remembered as one of the brightest members of the High school. The sincerest regrets are expressed and all nnite in the belief 'and the hope that his mental aberration will be only of short duration.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—James P. Voorhees, son of Senator Daniel W Voorhels^ of Indiana, has occupied apartments in the house of a physician on Ewt Twentieth street for several weeks. Much of his time was spent with bis wife and little girl. He was fond of the theater, and delighted in reading passages from Shakespeare and Bui wer. He frequently said to the people at tbe hoase that it was-his ambition to become a dramatic author.

On Wednesday Mr. Voorhees manifested intense nervous excitement. He had paced the floor of liis parlor the night preceding without cessation. In the afternoon he summoned the negro boy who answers tbe doctor's bill, and whi the boy appeared he cried: I will kill everybody wh" opposes |the produc tion of my plays." Then it ia said he put a revolver to the boy's head. The pistol was not loaded. Meeting the physician shortly alter, Mr. Voorhees apologized for his violent conduct, aud explain ed that worry about fiuancial matters was the cause of it. On Thursday afternoon Mr. VoDrhees was removed to the New York Hospital, where he is under Dr. W. A. Hammond's care. Mrs. Voorhees and her little child spent to day at tbe hospit. al. YouBg-Voorhees was a mem tier of an amateur dramatic society in Indian apolis. where be formerly resided, and. he frequently appeared in ambitious characters. An Indianapolis gentleman said to-night: "A few years ago I saw Voorhees attempt to play "Hamlet." At the end of the first scene with the "Ghost," where "Hamlet" says, "Go on, I'll follow thee," be departed from the nsual business of going off alter the specter with drawn sword, throwing himself flat on the stage instead, laughing loudly, and jabbing his dagger into the boards. The gravity of the house was upset. When, questioned afterward as to tbe reason for his grotesque performance, Mr. Voorhees naid it accorded with his conception of the lole, reached after much careful study.

On Wednesday last last I received in orraation that he was quite ill and I would have gone out at once but for the imperative nature of my engagement in the Courts, and from the further fact that his brother and other relatives are with him. I received a dispatch yesterday that he was better, and have no doubt "of bis recovery. It there was anything sensational in his conduct it arose from the causes I have mentioned. His habits are excellent, and he has no financial trouble. The story of his flaying 'Hamlet' in a particular manner ia simply a gross falsehood, without a single circumstance ot truth, .lames is an Industrious, conscientious youag man, and I have no fear of his futureif,thi» health a

James Voerbees'Play.

A GAZKTTK reporter called on Mr. Newlove, the stenographic reporter of this city, to-day, for the purpose of interviewing him in regard to James P. Voorhees. "Mr. Newlove," asked the reporter, "during your st»y :u Washington before coming toTetre Haut e, I understand that you were engaged by Jim Voorhees to take down in shorthand from dictation 'tis play entiiled 'Tide, or llamin 7 ar tr i-iW i..., .'i $-

sir I was.-"

'•I suppose tr have ie%rn ot Mr. Voorhees having been iwrett of reason v' "Yes I noticed an account to that effect in to-day's Indianapolis Journal, and I am very sorry indeed to know it for Jim was a good, steady and ambitious boy." "Mr. Newlove, where did you and Jim write this play?" "In his father's committee room at the Capitol at Washington—not the present committee ioom, but the old one Senator Voorhees temporarily occupied in the basement of the Capitol." "During the time that you were repotting tbe play from Mr. Voorhees' dictation did he seem to be at all excited

Well yes he was somewhat nervous, and displayed a good deal of anxiety in regard to the success of his play. He was anxious to push it through but I'

think he was somewhat discouraged from doinz to by tbe Senator. Jim had wonderfhl memory and picked up and executed his ideas with great exact nets. Bad he carried out hie plans 1 think he would surely have made a Mie. of his play for he had partially engaged excellent support"

At that time Mr. Voorhee? was of? sound mind, was be not?" "Certainly he was—he was just as sano as I am, and all that bothered him was the "ways and means" of raiding enough money to perfect a fcheme that he had studied over and ov*r again during the past. It took Mr. Voorhees t**o days to dictate to me the play of -'Tide, or Human Affairs," during which we would rest a efiOrt time occasionally. Jim was a good eater and very toad ot pie. I have oilen laughed about the way in which Jim devoured pie. There was a small etaad kept by a colored man near the committee room and promptly at twelve o'clock Jim would have the colored bov bring to us two or thren large pies anil he would eat the majority ot them before storing. you think Mr. Voorhees will remain in his present condition long?'' 'No I do not think he will. In tact, I can scarcely give credence to the report that he ia at all insane. I think the pistol pointed at the boy was oneot his peculiarities, but. as for shooting Jim would never do it he is too inoffensive for anything of that kind. It seems to me that it is all a hoax put up bythe theatrical com munity ot New York in order t-» squelch his play. My presumption may be wrong, and in cdse it is, I must frankly confess, that I deeply regret the loss of Mr. Voorhees' mind."

Perfection.

We do not claim perfactiou as our would be competitors would jave the people believe they are. But we do claim to have hone£tly received the red ribbon at the recent Grange Fmr east of the city through the merit of the Genuine Singer Macbiuefor the test constructed, mcst durable, practical and simple machine represented.

This was tbe only red ribbon given any machine exhibited and notwithstanding the Assertions of most- parties w« do not believe the people or members of the Grange Fair would be parties to "bulldozing and juggling or be persuaded through misrepresentation*" to award a premium on any machine that was not deserving as their perfection parties assert. These same hieh toned perfection parties in 1882 at the Viga county fair claimed the red ribbon and made a grand parade through the cily when the facta were that no enters or examination of Sewing ma chines were made. These facts were fully established by certificates signed by the secretary of the association, •eupt. of machinery hall and cbair& in of the committee ot that department, nnd now this perfect gentleman who never did a wrong ia bis life, because he has not the machine with merit sufficient to stand the test and critical examination honest men of committees and associations (who are not interested in the s-'icc?H of any machines) asserts that thn uuh bulldozing, juggling, misrepresenting and unfair treatment, that at tbe hands of th« fair associations he did not get his little red ribbons, while the real rea*o that he was not awarded the red ribbon at the Grange Fair was that tbe comu' itiee consisted of three practical machinists.
