"Old Tippecanoe" Men.

John p Slight, of Emmett, aud his
brother, Joseph Slight, of the same town,
both voted for Gen. VIM. II. Harrison for
president in 1910, at Lafayette, Ind,
within a few miles of where the battle Of
Tippecanoe was fought, that rendered
Harrison famous and gave the "Tippeca-
noe and Tyler, too," ticket ap impetus
throughout the Union that was irresistible
on the day of election. Another who is
with us that voted for Gen, Harrison in
1910 is VIM. L. Forncrook, of the Second
ward. In the "Tippecanoe and Tyler,
too," campaign Mr.. Forncrook was res
ident of Montgomery county, N. Y. After
lapse of torty-eight years, these three
gentlemen will, if living, Oh Nov. 6, 1888,
take great pleasure in casting their bal
lots for the grandson of ''old Tippecanoe, I"
Gen. Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, the
Republican candidate for president, be-
lieving him to be "chip of the old block
and possessed of all the elements of sue
cess and popularity that surrounded the
name of his illustrious ancestor.
Editor Republican: On the 1st and
I'd insts. a conference of the Lutheran
teachers of Watertown and vicinity was
held at Jefferson to discuss subjects per-
tanning to school teaching. j. l.. Meyer,
teacher of the Lutheran school at Jeffer-
son, presented a paper on "The Cultiva-
ton of the Memory" His paper was we'll
rendered and led to some interesting de-
bates. On the afternoon of the I'd it was
proposed by some of the members to visit
the poor house and the insane asylum, in
the vicinity of Jefferson, which PROPOSE
ton was adopted and carried out, as the
majority of the members had never seen
the inside of similar institutions. We al
so wish to state that no one regrets the
far walk of % miles in the hot afternoon
sun, for every one was soon convinced
that some of the ideas which the people
at large have of our poor house and in
sane asylum of Jefferson county are wrong
and are doing injurtice to the present
manager. Mr.. Gr8sel, very kind and
pleasant man, appears to be just the right
man for that position. He has occupied
said position since last December. livery
chamber and hall in both buildings is
kept extraordinarily clean, and all the in
mates are dressed respectfully. The din
ing-rooms are comparatively spacious, and,
like the other departmen ts, neat and clean.
The bedsteads, bed clothes and other gar
ments are likewise in very good condi-
ton. The bread which W; shown to the
visitors was we'll prepared and thoroughly
baked, and if the poor and the insane re-
ceive sufficient quantity of it, together
with some potatoes, meat and vegetables
occasionally, as they must according tc
their appearance, there is assuredly nc
need of complaining. The visitors OBJ
served no case of disobedience by the in
mates to the kind words and actions Of

Now, we have stated nothing else than
what we have seen with our own eyes
but, nevertheless, we would advise every
one to visit these institutions himself
whenever he has an opportunity to do so

Parneil's New Policy.
New York Star

Parnell's abandonment of the policy
of obstruction for one of precipitation,
illustrates the wisdom with which that
great leader follows the rule, "Other
times, other ways"
His present course, adopted no doubt
with the full concurrence of Gladstone,
is based on confidence in the results of
the session.
Believing that political conditions are
far more favorable to the Liberal re-
formers than they have heretofore been,
he desires to hasten the decisive conflict
that must end in the overthrow of his
opponents, or, at the worst. in the dis
play of fatal decrease of their strength.
Perseverance in policy of obstruction
at this session would enable the Govern
ment to prolong its lease of power by
postponing the crucial test that must now
come when it attempts TO take the in
itiative in the further pursuit of its
policy of evaporation and Incarceration.
The monster turnout OF the working
men of London in honor of ex-Lo1d
Mayor Sullivan and those who were his
companions in political imprisonment,
shows that there is in England an over
whelming public sentiment favorable TO
the policy of Gladstone and Parnell.
When English laborers, wearing green
rosettes, march by thousands in defense
of Irish right, the time is surely ripe for
the decisive contest between the prin-
ciples of constitutional liberty and ire
sponsible despotism.

The failure of the prosecuting witness
Orleans, to substantiate the very serious
charge of embezzlement made against
Mr. Charles l.. Collins, young attorney
of this city, before Judge MacWilliams,
presents an opportunity for pointing
moral too good to be lost. For a few
dollars, or few hundred dollars. which
the prosecutor believed, honestly enough,
perhaps, to be in danger of loss, he
recklessly caused the disgraceful arrest
of an innocent and estimable young
man, just struggling into prominence i'll
his profession, involving him in a loss of
reputation in the eyes of the business
community from whom he might have
expected support, which can not be
estimated in figures or measured by dol
lars. And the worst phase of the mat
ter is, that while the author of all this
horrible trouble calmly retires from the
scene with perhaps few commonplace
expressions of regret at the ruin he has
wrought, and with no punishment for
his fault, save the payment of a few dol
lars costs, perhaps; the innocent victim,
smarting under the blow, and wretched
in the contemplation of the effect of the
incident upon his future, is absolutely
without remedy, and must suffer in
silence, and trust to time and the good
offices of friends to gradually undo the
work of his destroyer and set him right
again with the world.

From the best authority, it comes to
us that vigorous effort was made in
jacksonville to prevent the programme
indicated by the President for his Florida
trip from being carried out. kilograms
were sent to Washington urging
change of the programme SO that the
Presidential party should be rushed over
TO st. Augustine to luncheon at the
Ponce de Leon and rushed back again to
Jacksonville to fill up the ample measure
of our sister city's cormorant like greed
for special distinction and notice and
curtail the part of st. Augustine in the
entertainment of the Chief Magistrate.
This unseemly exhibition of petty jeal-
ously was fittingly rebuked by tele-
gram from Washington in terms which
left no room for doubt, assuring the
Jacksonville committee that there would
be no change in the President's plans. That
they had been made with elaboration.
and after the party had passed the St.
Johns River they should feel free to use
their own Judgment as to future move
ments, or words to that effect. Tn
DAILY News rejoices with the good peo
pie of st. Augustine in the assurance
which this and similar incidents have
given them that the old towr
has friends who will not see her interes
sacrificed TO the mad jealousy of a riva
city and especially in the fact that tn.
city's rights and attractions have beer
thus signally and quasi officially recog
nized by the President.

A Big Paper Syndicate.

The Northwestern Paper Manufac-
turers' Association at a special meeting
February 10 considered plan to sell the
entire product turned out by their mills
to an association of Eastern paper dealers
and capitalists. There are seventy-two
paper mills in the Northwest, of which
forty-two are members of the association
and produce upwards of two-thirds of the
annual output. The value last year was
about s., 900, 900. The syndicate offers
to enter into a contract to buy this year 5
product outright at stipulated rate. 1t
was practically determined to accept the
proposal and the matter was referred to
C. F. Allen, of Whitewater, Wis; II. E.
Mead. of Dayton, and A. Kingman, of
Cedar Falls, Ia, who are to make some
slight alterations in the plan and to draw
the papers. The association meets March
Z to take conclusive action.
