THE QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY

Brave men are always ready to take the
responsibilities of their acts and their de
clarations. towards, never. When polit-
ical party is in the majority in Legislatures
Congresses or Councils, il must take the re-
sponsibility of such measures as pass, as
also of such as are defeated. 1t has the
power and the people will hold it response
BILE for the use made of it. Majorities can
not 60 before the people and plead the power
of minorIties. Such pleas only
make derelictions of duty the more
conspicuous, and majorities the
more contemplate. The Forty-seventh
Congress is a Republican body-that is to
say, the Republican party is in the majority.
1t can bring forward and pass such measures
as it deems advisable, and the minority is
powerless, however much opposed 10 such
measures it may be. Notwithstanding these
incontrovertible propositions, the Indianap-
oils Journal seeks to make the Democratic
minority in the Forty-seventh Congress re-
sponsible for the failure of certain measures
which the Republican majority has brought
forward.
1t is really very amusing to
note with what fatulent energy the
Journal urges it's theories upon the atten-
ton of its readers. 1t charges that the Dem
ocratic party sis the enemy to popular
progress" that forgetting nothing and
learning nothing it is shoal in the tide of
advancement and sandbar in the current
of history" and adds;
It's attitude in Congress is hostile to every vital
interest of the Nation. The Republican party.
without majority in the Senate and without
working majority in the House, is practically
bound hand and foot by the Democrats Pledged to
tariff reform, the Republicans have endesvored
to secure legislation whereby wise reduction
may be made. In this. as 10 all efforts to effect
reduction of taxation, the Democratic members
have stood in the way.
The tariff reform" to which the Journal
alludes is probably the most beautiful
specimen of reform that this country was
ever called upon to contemplate. Take. for
instance, iron cotton ties; the tax was orig
inally IS per cent. The Republican Senate
reformed it up to 1s5 per cent, and the Re
publican House reformed it down to 81 4 per
cent, leaving 1t still 46H per cent more
than it was when a Republican Congress
began its work of reform. The people of
Indiana demanded at the polls last Novem-
Der tariff reform, but not such as the Repub-'
lican Congress is preparing for them. Dem
ocrats are not helping Republicans to put
diamonds on the free list, while they tax
trace chains 81 per cent, salt SO per cent,
and rice 123 per cent. Democrats are not
helping Republicans to tax quinine
to enrich a half dozen monopolists
who desire to grow rich by taxing the vic
tins of favor. The Democrats in Congress,
so far as it lies in their power, are endeavor-
ing to inaugurate tariff reform by reducing
the taxes on the necessities of life. Indi-
anians if they would understand the policy
of the Republican majority in Congress,
have only to contemplate the

AUGUST.
AvoID FARM MORTGAGES.

Dir. II. A. HAeH, gives the follow
lowing wholesome advice on mort
cages to farmers in the 4mer1ean
Agricpltqu1st for August.
Mortgages are necessary and
beneficial in civilized society, but
there are unpleasant features
about them. They often enable a
man to accomplish what he could
not otherwise do, and they also
often involve a man who would
have been otherwise successful.
They often enable a man to get
out of trouble which he could not
otherwise avoid, and they perhaps
equally often make miserable life
which would have otherwise been
happy. It is easy to get them on
to the farm, but 1t is not always so
easy to get them of. Farm mort
cages are about the best invest
ment that capital can find. Inves-
tors generally like them. They
partake of the nature, permanence,
and other substantial qualities of
real property, but are relieved from
many burdens imposed upon land.
Therefore,. Do not mortgage
the farm unless it seems absolutely
necessary. But, as general rule
is less valuable than a particular
one, it may be well to specify, by
adding: 2. Do not mortgage to
build a fine house. By so doing,
You will have TO pay money for an
investment which does not bring
money. 3. Do not mortgage the
farm to buy more land. Where
there is absolute certainty that
more cal 5e made out of the land
than the cost of the mortgage, this
rule might not apply. But absolute
certainty is rare, mistaken calcula'
ton is common. 4 De not mort
cages the farm unless you are
sure of the continued fertility OF
It's soil. Many persons borrow
with an expectation of repayment
based on an experience of the lands
virginity only, which, on faling,
may leave the land less productive,
and the means of repayment thus
be removed. In this way trouble
begins which may result in the
loss of the farm. Keep very clear
OF mortgages,

DE NAIxT LADY.

At negro baptizing the other

a bayou. Just as he dipped her
under the water she slipped from
his grasp and glided under the
root Of large cypress tree, from
which sad entanglement it was I'M

was extinct. The preacher with,
out the slightest show Of embarras-
ment, raised his hands, and turn

The sister agreed that immedi-

GREEN Com FOB FIGs.-In the sum
mer and early fall feeding of pigs
we have found sweet corn one OF
the best and most convenient kinds
of fodder. Pork is made to the
best advantage by putting the pigs,
as soon as they are weaned from
the SOW aud have learned to eat
milk and meal, into the pen, and
keeping them there under full feed
until they are ready for slaughter
in November OF December. With
q good breed of swine there is no
difficulty in making March pigs
weigh from two hundred and fifty
to three hundred lbs, at eight or
nire months old. With plenty Of
Indian meal and skinned milk they
will grow rapidly until the corn is
large enough for cutting. About
the first of August, this should be
given as an additional ration. The
pigs will eat the green stalks and
leaves with the greatest relish after
the ears have been plucked. Il is
an excellent appetizer, helps the
digestion Of n1oS4 solid Iood, and
promotes the thrift o,fthe animals.
Field com may not be quite Sc nu
tlinors, bul no better use can be
made Of thai, after the ears are In
milk, than to cut and feed 1t to
fattening swine. 1t costs much
less to make pork in summer than
in cold winter weather. An'eri-

ty however will have to "blunder" long

nence of the Republican party with its
jobbing statesmen, its loose legislation, its
plundering of the public treasury under
the pretended color of law, its theft of the
Presidency and Its corrupt purchase of the
executive Office now occupied by man
who ID playing push-pin with low tricky
politics. Ii the Democrats can ''blunder''
more wildly aud vioiausly than the Repub-
iican party they will not long hold power
The people, however. do not agree with the
chagined Republican politicians who can
not cloak their i'll nature under the mask
of pleasantly. 1t was the people that
turned the rascals out and they will give

ARrn YES UNPoPuLaRrrY

The Republican party is engaged in q
painful search for its Moses. Before the
Ohio election there were those who al
lowed themselves to think that Arthur
would answer the emergency. Up to
that time Arthur and his chums had been
looking forward to 1884 with great expec-
tations, but that disaster knocked them all
out and destroyed the fine plan of opera
tions that had been mapped out. A story
Is current at Washington that three weeks
before the Ohio election, when the Repub-
iioans were sure in their minds that they
would carry the state report gained
circulation that if Ohio went Republican
this year Governor Foster was to go on
the Presidential ticket with Arthur in
1884, and that a compac. to this effect was
made at the White House on the occasion
of Fosters visit to Washington immedi-
ately after Arthur's return from the yell
IoWstone. A feeler was sent out to see
how the thing would take, aud it did not
take bat day or two 10 carry the story of
the bargain all over the state. TIL. reyels-
tion had an effect, bat not the one the plot
tiers anticipated. 1t turned Gsrfeld's friends
into stone, and the friends of the murder
ed President have been those who have for
years done the decisive work for the party
though most of the fruit of their lsbors have
been garnered by such men as Hayes and
Sherman who are very generally despised.
Rather than see Arthur capture the Presi-
DENTAL nomination these Republicans IN
dertook to PIT no very serious obstacles
in the Democrats. And the Democrats
were wise. They did no loose talking, but
put in plenty of work where it would do
the most good. They claimed no districts
and made no figures that the Republicans
could get hold of. The Republican slop-
over candidate visited every county in the
state but three and made hundred and
four speeches, precisely one hundred more
speeches than the Democratic candidate
made. The Republicans boosted loudly,
aud like Foster claimed the state By $4,000
or 10000 majority. The Democrats
wasted no time in ornamental pe,forman-
ces but put in their best work, and came
out the winners by large majority. Ar

Business Letter Poets.

The Minnesota poets have struck new
channel wherein to rhyme, and instead of
the dull prose in which business letters are
generally couched, they are, in some in
stances, now spiced with the highest flights
of the muse. The subject which started
the following communication and its reply
is box of specimen Minnesota clay. sent
in on the Manitoba road by freight, on
which the consignee, having paid the
charges, has not yet felt equal to paying a
drayman fifty cents to haul to his Office, in
the absence of being the possessor of a
horse and wagon. He is therefore ad-
dressed by F. 81. D., the railway Office
poet, who has grown impatient at his
delay:
Imperial Cesar, dead and turned to clay,
Might stop hole to keep the wind away;''
But clay that comes consigned to you
For such use will never do
And yet, unless removed ere long,
I'd scarcely think it very wrong,
To see if some one can't be found
To relegate it to the ground.
The dilatory consignee jumps into poet
ical measure to his neck:
My esteemed though impatient f. H. D.,
Pm really as sorry as know how to be;
But having no money wherewith to pay,
For hauling hither that box of clay,
And as the treasurer says he don't know when
He'll ever have any money again,
You'll perceive Pm in a state of doubt,
And if the clay's in your way, why pitch it out.
I'd hoped you'd store it q few days longer
Till my finances grew somewhat stronger;
But if you won't Pm sure you'll never
Hear any complaint from, yours as ever.

II dc not wish to answer that question:" he

II do not believe Ohio will support Mr. Arthur
If he is nominated next year. Foster IS good
fellow, and a friend of mine, but it he should
go into such scheme as that you speak OF he
will be irretrievably lost. You can have no no.

He has shocked the people beyond measure by
his treatment of Garfeld's old and tried friends.
Where is there a Garfield man now in Officer
don't know of one In Ohio, nor out of it.
Since have got to talking about it, l wish to
repeat it as my conviction that If MIR. Arthur is
nominated by the Republican national conven-

support his nomination. There are great
many things which 1 will not now speak of that

for 1t too.''

was arrived at owing to certain matters
which the superintendent of the mail de-
Partment is obliged ~ look up. It is cer
tainly likely, however, that the new stand
