An Agreeable Pounding.

Rev. p. 5. Bennett on entering the
parsonage on Monday evening after
being decoyed from it for short time
without any apparently bad intentions,
was confronted by two or three scores
of people in state of considerable
excitement Being informed that If
he would submit without resistance he
should not be treated very roughly, he
yielded with so much eomposure as
was reasonable TO expect. DR.. Witter
after due examination gave it as his
opinion that he would survive the
shock. The occasion was the 64th
anniversary Of the Elders irlh-day;
and the array CT earnest countenances
became exceedingly pleasant to his
view after his first fright was over.
The pounding that followed he thinks
almost any minister would have grace
enough TO receive He called at our
office yesterday and expressed high
degree of satisfaction with the treat
ment.

Can any one give one good reason
for changing the location of the
county seat Is there any demand
for change based on anything but
petty feeling and spite? Who are the
originators and supporters of the
movement for change from shis city
to Centralia? What benefit would
Centralia gain by such change? Was
not the court house disturbance con-
ccived in sin and spite only, and not
for any real benefit to be gained by
such change? These are fair ques-
tions for our readers to ask and an
Bwer for themselves.

astonish its friends and astound its
enemies. It's greatly increasing pro-

of its head, qnarters from the Tribune
Building to the very large and beauti-
full building, 70. 764 Broadway,
which is in the very midst OF the
'book district Of New York City,
and, therefore, of the publis hing
enterprise of the nation. This build
in5, though six stories in height %
feet front and 100 feet deep, is suffi-
cient only for the Offices and retail
store of the Company. The manufac-
ing is carried on in several large
buildings located in other parts Of the
city, though it is contemplated
concentrating them soon in one
immense factory to be erected.

THE IMPENDING SHADOW.

J. ON the New York Evening Post OF FEB, 4th :.
Great bodies move slowly, and the
public is slower than monopoizing
corporations. But time may be
conceived of, nay, even may he pre-
dicted, when the public will become
swifter than corporations, may not
Only be caught up with but even
ground to powder by the public wrath.
This Country just now has entered
upon time of great material prosperi-
ty. The land laughs with fatness and
promise. A burst of sunshine has
bathed the whole nation with radiance
and JOY. This may have seemed
sudden although concurrence of
happy events has long been leading up
to it. Hence to many persons the
general efulgence appears like glad
surprise. But just now a shadow has
crept over the earth. chill has filled
! the air. The bithe and confident
spirit that SO lately prevailed is damp
ed and hesitating. What does this
mean and what does it portend ?
it means that the people, through
the stress of ominous and accumulat-
ing events, are getting to see that they
are in danger of becoming the victims
of new and crushing FERNS Of oppres-
sion. 1t means that the words
consolidation and combination
are beginning to be understood. 1t
means that the people have come to
perceive that if to-day they are to be
heavily taxed through artificial va!u-
ations OH thing they cannot possibly
do without, the process may be
repeated to morrow on something else,
TIE next day on some other necessity;
so that at la t their very life-blood
will be sucked out by the greedy
vampires, who grow more Unsuitable
with impunity. and who, already
swollen nearly to bursting, still plot
and strain for further accumulation
1t mean. yet more 1t means that
the people see with growing alarm and
anger that the bloodsuckers are
fortifYing themselves SO strongly in
Legislative bodies that relief or protec-
ton from those quarters, if sought for,
may be sought for in vain; that men
who have been thought to be represen-
tatives of the people have become
instead representatives of the corpor-
ations; that the corporations, thus
snugly and surely entrenched, are fast
learning to laugh at public opinion.
For who shall say them nay with the
highest power in the land holding up
their hands from behind
There is reason, then, for the i'm
pending shadow. There is reason for
solicitude when the people. who must
use the telegraph, are told they must
pay dividends on eighty millions of
dollars, when a quarter of that sum
would replace all that the stock of the
inflated corporation represents. There
is reason for solicitude when the same
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1881-03-17

principal. applied now here, now there,
to lines of transportation, threatens to
end in imposing throughout the
country four times the charge for
carrying goods or persons that the
service is worth. There is reason for
solicitude when, seeing what may be
done, free Of let or hindrance, with
telegraphs and railroads, monopolists
are visibly preparing to repeat the
performance in other fields so that at
last it may even be that the whole
labor of the nation will stagger under
unprecedented and at last unbearable
burdens to swell the already crammed
purses of scheming monopolists.
All this, we may be sure, is not a
summer cloud that can overcome the
community without causing either
special fear or wonder. 1t betol;ens a
real, a menacing, a present danger.
1t implies that time has come when
the forces of public opinion must be
set at work in earnest to breast and
bear back a grievous calamity. Su-
pinencss will not answer; to close our
eyes and stop our ears will not answer
A moment has arrived when legislators
and those who bribe them must cry a
halt; and moment when 'combincrs
and "consolidators and all other
plotters against the common veal in
the interest Of corporate monopoly
must be told in trumpet tones, and in
something more than words if need be,
Thus far shall we go and no
further"
