Embarrassing Discovery at Lafayette.

LAFAYETTE, April PA discovery has just
been made by which it is claimed that por
ton of the city lying between Main and South,
and east of Fourteenth street was omitted from
the original description of the town, and the in
habitants of that district have, therefore, no
right to vote. The district is Democratic, and,
if the error is proved, it will make the Fifth
ward, which is now doubtful. strongly Republic
an. The same error was discovered in
1868, just before the Republicans went out
of power but the Democrats, it is claimed took
no notice of it when they came in. Now that the
Republicans are again in power, the subject is
agitated, and attracts much attention. City
Treasurer William Schilling who is serving
his second term, lives in the district, and it is
stated that his official acts are illegal A special
meeting of the Council will probably correct the
error in day or two, but cannot legalize Schil-
ling's official acts.

Death of Rev. Ebenezer Tucker.

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
UNION City, April 12-Rev Ebenezer Tucker
died yesterday Prof. Tucker was born in
Cherry Valley N. Y, in the year 1919, attended
Auburn and Oberlin theological seminaries, and
graduated from the latter in 1874 Was married
in September, 1884, TO Lois Patchin, who sur
wives him. Soon after mis- marriage he became
pastor of Congregational church at Freder-
ickstown, o., which position he held until 1916,
when he became principal of the Union
Literary Institute, a school established in
Randolph county, by certain public-spirited citl-
zens, for the purpose of placing within the
reach of ALL and especially of the colored people.
a higher education. In this institute he labored
faithfully until 1854, when he removed to
Illinois. Returning to this State in 1859 he To-
Gated at Liber, and served as principal of Liber
College until 1868 After serving superin-
tendent OF the Union City schools he went South
in 1870, and during his residence there
was a professor in Straight Uni
versity New Orleans, and IN Tougaloo Univer-
sity Mississippi, and was a missionary at Ray
mond, Miss. Again returning to Randolph
county, he became for the second time principal
of Union Literary Institute, holding that posi-
ton from 1873 to 1879, after which he removed
to Union City, where in 1882 he was elected
justice of the peace, which Office he held at the
time of his death. Professor Tucker began
teaching at the age of sixteen years, and he him
self wrote that the total number of months dur
ing which he taught would make, in the aggregate,
forty two years of eight months each. He was
strong advocate of the abolition of slavery in the
years when the old burnt district" was famous
for antislavery work. and, having been a ready
and forcible writer, much of his time and talent
was devoted to the temperance work. Although
a stanch prohlbitionist, he strongly opposed the
third party movement in 1884, and was deeply
panied to see some with whom he had stood
shoulder to shoulder for third of a century
seeking to divide rather than to unite the OPP
ponents of the liquor traffic.

Mr.. EDITOR We have often noticed
in the columns OF the HERALD and " Vir-
ginian glowing notices of the enterprises
of our town, and they have started Us to
thinking a little. For instance, we often
read that Mr.. so and so is building house
on such a street and thus helping to
bnild up the town. Now, sir let me ask,
what does build mp town, and what isits
real enterprises We contend that the
business enterprise that sells its products
abroad and brings back single foreign
dollar to a town is helping to build 1t up
and la this connection we wish 70 speak
of the real enterprises of our town. What
are they2 We have in Woodstock Foun-
dry and Machine Shop employing a Num-
Der of hands; we have q harness aud col
lar factory, doing the same; we have a
furniture factory fitted up with all the
modern machinery for turning out fnrni-
tnre. sash, doors, blinds, IKE, sending their
goods to a distance; we have cigar fac
tory making the best Of work, and with a
demand for all they can make; we have
two glove factories making the very best
handmade gloves, giving employment to
i or ~ girls, and shipping of all their
work.
Now, sir, these are the real enterprises
that are building mp our town by bringing
money from other sections and spending
IL here. What encouragement do these
few real enterprises receive from the poo-
ple here at home and what inducement
on the face Of the earth is offered for any
enterprising men to come and settle IN
Woodstock We say none in the world.
Now il our people would encourage, By
their custom and their means These few
enterprises they would grow, flourish, give
more work TO men and women, ship of
that much more work 70 a distance, ana
bring that much more money TO the place.
Now. we do know that these enterprises
are making the very best work, they have
more orders than they can fiji, and all
they want and need is a little more means
to lay in stock and put on more hands
But is there one OF them that could go
ont in all our section of country ana
borrow $4,000 without giving doubled
and twisted security, and at an enormous
rate Of interest Is 10 not discouraging TO
our few enterprising, pushing, working
men, with no hand 10 help, but weighed
down by strings Of loalcr- that iniesi all
the corners of our Main street Does II
not throw a chill over those who won!d
work and build up the town If they had
half Of chance Alas for Woodstock,

tions mentioned, rs dead a. a door nall
Perhaps they point MS TO the Bank, yes,
there it is aud there it will stay as far as
il is any help TO enterprise On our place
A bank that never has dollar 10 loan
but all to call in, may as well hc IN the
midst of the sea as far as any good nom L
is concerned. And now, Nj Editor, ]
think we should hear no more OF the great
facilities for enterprise in Woodstock, and
the Inducements it offers for enterprise to
come here and settle. Remember those
you have with You, lend them the helping
hand first, and then talk about bringing
others, but not TIL then. We may como

Not Eleomosynary Schools.



No, the free schools do not depend on
charity. Their support is a matter OF po-
litical economy. IL is better TO hire police
to watch our streets, than to suhcr con-
tnua theft, rowdyism and personal dan
ger So schools are better than iais and
poor-houses. IL is better to teach hoy
to earn his own hread, while the sun
shines, than that he should appropriate
our earnings between two days. OF
really well-trained father, we expect
well-traincd son, even from generation 10
generation. So thar the good influence Of
to.day's teaching has about il an element
Of eternity.
The poor man makes up in his abnnd-
ance Of children, his lack Of wealth in
money. This is fact that cannot be de-
MED nor prohibited. The children are
here, and, if not made good citizens will
become bad ones In this country the
citizens rule, and those whom now we
train, will, in n short time hold the power
Of the nation in their own hands. Why
should innocent ignorance be the dupe Of
the shrewd but selfish scoundrcl3 We
have unlimited resources of wealth "a yet
undeveloped and we have unlimited re-
sources in mind that need but the guiding
hand. The nation is equally responsible
for the protection Of its citizens, the de
velopment Of its resources, and the cduca-
ton of its children. On the proper dis
charge of these duties rest the safety of
the government. The neglect Of either
can but be disastrous.
SO we say the free-schools are not cleo
mosynary. Their support is morally, po-
litically and socially the duty Of the State.
Thisisnot inconsistent with the fact that
those who like private tutors and can af-
ford them, should have them. Bnt it Is
inconsistent that children should be kept
from school for trivial causes. The school
term is short enough; they cannot afford
to miss one day. We SOW now we know
not who will reap. Dut each seed, wheth-
er good or evil, will produce harvest after
its own kind

On last Monday evening Hon. john ;.

meeting in Polytechnic Hall. 1t was only
known some tour hours before tho time
appointed for the speaking that he would
sneak in New Market, yet nOtwithstand-
ing this fact, the Hall was densely pack

at once to discuss the issues Of the cam
paign in a mastery manner. His speech
was one Of the finest ever delivered in
New Market. He spoke for over two
hours. The Cleveland Band, stationed at
the corner of Main and Morgan streets,
footed during the whole time Of Wise's

keeping the people from hearing Wise at

Woodstock on his way TO Winchester.
As the train drew up to the depot he was
surprised to find a crowd of his friends ac-
companied by the Woodstock Cornct
Band. As soon as the band stopped play
ing Capt. Wise appeared upon the platform
and was introduced to the cheering crowd
by Robt. J. Walker. He returned thanks
for the kindly greeting in his usual happy
and ready style. Capt. Wise looked and
smoke as if the hard work of the campaign
agreed with him, and was evidently GER
tain Of his election. The train stopped
for only few minutes, and rs it pulled
out for Winchester, the crowd cheered and
the band struck mp q lively air. Mr..
Wise spoke in Winchester on Wednesday
night TO one Of the largest gatherings OF
the kind ever seen in that place. Hon.

retiring on Tuesday night about IL o'clock,
had his attention attracted by the violent
barking of his dog in the direction Of the
stable. Taking his gun he quickly slipped
up to the barn where he saw man leave
the stable and start to run across the

after him that caused him to increase his
spead to a gate that soon took him out
of sight in the darkness. Upon going
into the stable he found the horse bridled
ready for removal.
