A NEWSPAPER IN THE srRIoTEsr SENSE

A NEWSPAPER IN THE sTRICTEsT SENSE.
Upton Advocate.
We take pleasure in announcingt to our readers
that we have perfected arrangements by which
we can furnish them the Indianapolis Weekly
journal together with the Advocate at an ex-
ceptionably low rate. The Journal is a paper
that has reached the highest pinnacle of excel
lence. 1t is a newspaper in the %strictest sense
of the term, and the family circle is not complete
without it. 1t is so welded to the interests of
the people of the State that 1t is virtually a part
of our public institution. When we go into a
farmers house and see the Indianapolis Journal,
we know that that man is well informed on all
public matters, and brings about him an ele-
ment of refinement that indicates progress,
wealth and happiness. We specially invite all
our readers to see their postmaster, or call on us
and swell the Journal list to a thousand and
more In Upton county.

the Supreme Court is above criticism, and is in
favor of a constitutional amendment guaran-
teeing the civil and political rights of every citi-
zen.

Although there is no conclusive evil
dence that any formal consultation has

the Western Union magnates are will
ing enough to come to terms with the
strikers individually, but they declare
that they will carry on the war indef-
niteiy before they consent to recognize
the Brotherhood. And from their point
of view they are logical. The opera
tives, however, will make fatal mis-
take should they agree to any adjust
ment which denies or limits their right
to organize and combine in defence OF
their own interests.
The principle at stake IS Of much
greater importance than the monetary
differences involved. When the opera
