about finished now, he says, with the cx-
ception Of Il few small local ones, and
the perfected route as it now stands Is at
least 2j per cent. better than the one OF
1885. The then estimated length Of 40
3-io milcs has been cut duwa tD 2S $40
miles, and the small surveys now going
on are expected to reduce this TO nearer
2S miles Everything Is now waiting in
readiness for the work of construction TO
begin, and on this lrip Mr.. MenCcal is 10
intery ew the officers Of the company TO
that end.
The people OF Nicaragua and Costa

tidenily expect wonderful Development
Of the resources Of their country when it
becomes a settled fact. Mr. Menocal says
that all the members Of his staif have

HIGH SCHOOL
F. P. HALL, PRINCIPAL.
The Next Term Begins
OCTOBER !, 1888.

No guarantee is needed by those who
patronized this school during the past
year for its thorough work and rigid
discipline in the future. 1t aims at
something higher in education than a
mere accumulation of facts-at bringing
all the powers of the mind into vigorous
exercise and teaching the pupil to reason
and think for himself-at laying solid,
substantial for higher education, and
fitting its students for the practical
duties of life. Only limited number
will be admitted this term 80 that every
pupil may be under the immediate care
of the Principal.
Reports will be sent out monthly, as
usual, bringing the standing of each
child in review before the parent.
AS the school will be limited to SO
those wishing to attend had better apply
at once to J. r. B. Hathaway.

Recollect that vote for the Repub-
llcan Electors or vote for Dockery is
a vote to make the people of North
Carolina pay the special tax bonds; it
is in every way, a vote to increase
the taxes of the people.
Walker, prohibition candidate for
Governor, received $4,000 for canvass
ing North Carolina. 1t was paid by
the republicans; where is the church
man who would Or should support
him?-TarborO Southerner.
Ism t it curious that the republican
State ticket leaves the East uncan-
vassel, the prohibitionists do not,
and proclaim where they 60, the tariff
question is absolute humbug? Great
moral ideas are at low ebb.-South-
erner.
The news from allparts of the State
is cheering. Fowle and the Democratic
State ticket will be elected by from
Is to 10000 majority, and the Legisla-
ture will have a decided Democratic
majority. The outlook is bright
Observer.
Mr. Blaine complains of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for deoositing
part of the surplus in National Banks.
If Mr.. Blaine's party had not defeated
tax reduction or had been atle to pass
the bills which it favored there would
be no surplus to deposit.-.N. Y. World.
The Democratic Presidential ticket
represents a National principle and
policy. Mr. Cleveland will stand or
fall with the demand of his party for
Tax Reduction through Tariff Reform.
His personality is not in the canvass
as it was four years ago.-N. Y, World.
Dockery is in favor of the trusts
that are crushing the life ont of the
workingman. lie claims to be a
consistant alliance man The Farmers
Alliance is fundamentally opposed to
these. trusts Then Dockery is a
hypocrite, fraud. Remembnr that.
-Ex,
Give the Republicans power again
in North Carolina, and away goes the
State credit, Trust them again, and
up goes your taxes: Put them in
charge of your county affairs, and
your court ORDERS. witness and jury
tickets will go hawking around again
at 25 cents On the dollar, and no
takers. Do the people want to see this
condition of things again?-Ex.
The News and Observer asks the
following questions. Read them and
make up for lost time on the day of
election: "SOme people seem TO think
there is no obligation upon any one
save an office-seeker to work for the
party. How is that? What exempts
you, good reader? Don't you live in
North Carolina? Are You not inter
ested in having good government
here? Is your wife not interested
and are not your children interested
in having white men rather than ne
groes in power? Are the ofice-seekers
and the Office holders the only people
who enjoy the benefits of good gov
eminent? Do you think it fair to
enjoy the harvest without planting
and working the crop?"

POLITICS IN BRIEF.
GOOD READING MATTER FOR
EVERY VOTER.

Election day, November 9th, next
Tuesday.
North Carolina expects now every
true son to do his duty.
If negro supremacy is desired vote
for the radical annex, the prohibition
ticket.-Ex.
Docery votes for negroes in prefer
ence to honest white men. Remem-
Der that.-Gazette.
Two hundred and forty thousand
colored men in New York will vote
for Cleveland and Thurman.
The News and Observer says to us {:
''Men of the First District, bestir your
selves and elect Skinner to Congress!'
No man can afford to be Indifferent
in this election. The line of battle is
drawn, will you desert in the hour of
trial.
So the Democratic plea for tax re-
duction is humbug, the prohibitionists
say. Well, why do not they make
some argument against radical hum
buggery?
Voting is a privilege, a duty and
should be pleasure to every Ameri-
can citizen. Let no man stay at home
On the 9th. Let duty be done by all
and the country will be safe.
The farmers pay tariff tax of $50
on every 800 worth of cotton bagging
He pays $50 ON every 800 worth of
ties. He pays .$85 on = every 500
worth Of flannel that he buys.
The Republicans have sent money
into every district in the State. Some
of the RAIDS hereabouts are quarreling
about it's distribution 1t is bad for
one man to hold all. Distribute!
Elihu White was a member of. the
infamous Legislature Of '6S, and voted
for all those infamous republican
measures inflicted upon us in those
trying days. Remember that.-Ga-'
zette.
The only parties are the Republican
and Democratic. The black. and the
white, which will you choose. A vote
for prohibition might just as well be
cast in favor of the moon, Or piece OF
cheese.
Senator Vance claims the State by
Is, 600 for the Democrats. So be it,
But let us work to make that prophecy
a reality. If every true Democrat
will do his duty the prophecy will be
fulfilled.
"When the Radicals we're in power
in North Carolina they stole everything
in the State but her honor, and they
would have stole that if they had
known the article when they saw -
Hon. W. H. Kitchin.
The Republican party believes in
free Altar of Roses, such as is used
by dudes, and 1S0 per cent. tariff on
castor oil, medicine for sick babies.
What a blessing for the poor that
Altar of Roses is free.-Ex.
The newspapers of New York are

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-10-16

AT a recent reunion of the Eighty-seveath
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, at York,
Pa, they sent warm greetings to Gen. r. II.
Milroy. formerly of this State, now a resident
of Washington Territory. The Olympia,
w. T.. Partisan says:
General Milroy gave the best part of his
life to the service of his country leaving his
health and strength upon the battle field.
Under a Republican administration the right
of the battle-scarred. health wrecked veteran
was recognized, and he was cared for by hav-
ing the position of Indian agent given him.
Upon the advent Of the present administra-
ton he was singled out for sacrifice, and was
removed early, to make room first, for a SYM
pathizer with the effort to destroy the Union,
and later on for one who was actively engaged
In the struggle to overthrow the government"
An administration that would remove an
old Union soldier like General MiIroy to
make room for an ex-rebel, ought not receive
the vote of a single old soldier in Indiana.
and will not receive the vote of one who has
any self-respect.
