The Republicans are always TAX
ing "advance ground on the pension
question:" but as soon as Corporal
Tanner put that "advance ground"
into operation there was loud calls
for him to step down and out, and
step down and out he did. The
fact is the Republican party has been
deceiving the soldiers for the last
twenty years. The party never
formulated a declaration upon the
pension question that was intended
to be carried out. 1t was intended
only for campaign purposes and to
hold the soldiers vote while they
denounced the Democratic party as
the enemy of the old veterans and
used every argument to poison them
against it as apolitical organization.
At last they have been caught in
their perfdy.

CONVENTION OF GOOD TEMPLARS.
They Adopt Resolutions on the Liquor Traffic
and Other Pertinent Subjects.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Feb. 1.-THE Good
Templars' convention to-day was mainly
devoted to hearing and adopting the re-
ports of various committees. The next
convention will be held at Frankfort, on
May and 9, 1882 The committee on the
state of the order, in this district, reported
that there are six lodges in working order,
with membership of 337, and the prospects
are fattering for successful work in the
future. The lodges are now in better work
ing condition than they have been for ten
years. At present there are twenty-nine
members belonging to the district lodge.
The following is synopsis of the resolu-
tiOns adopted:
Depict the moral turpitude of the masses in their
dealings with the licensed liquor traffic. esteem

Lord of Hosts is with us; the effort Of the tenn,
perance people in this State is heartily indOrsed

TROUBLE WITH HALF-BREEDS.
They Object to Paying Taxes, and There Are
Indications of Serious Trouble.

CHURCH's FERRY. d. T., Feb. Icon
half-breed situation at st. John. It seems
that vigorous attempts are being made on
the part of the Rollette county officials to
collect taxes from such half-breeds as are
alleged to be regularly taxable. Rumblings
of disturbance have been heard for some
time, and yesterday the affair eliminated
in direct opposition to the policy of the
county officials, and assumed the appear
ance of an outbreak. Sheriff Flynn and
posse of one man made descent upon
the settlement and succeeded at first in
making few collections. Later, however,
the half-breeds assembled from all direc-
tions, being joined by others from the res
ervation. Pressing about the sheriff and
his man, they forced him to disgorge
his well-earned pittance of taxes. The
sheriff, realizing that he was no match for
the increasing numbers OF Savages, retreat
military organization for assistance. Maj
Mckee Immediately placed his command
under arms. In the meantime, rumOr
states that message has been sent to Gov.
Church, requesting him to give the soldiers
at Fort Totteu orders to march to ST. John
if needed. The half-breeds are loud in
their denunciatons of this attempt to col
lect taxes or rob them, as they say, and
claim that they will resist to the last man.
Sheriff Flynn has been notified that he will
be shot on sight if he again makes simi-
lar attempt. The alarming part of the sit
uation is that large number of the 1900
half-breeds on the reservation are prepar-
ing to take hand In the matter, and
bloodshed is feared. At present, the local
militia company at ST. John is marching to
the scene of the disturbance.

PAID So PER VOTE.

Bribery In the Recent Senatorial Election
Openly Charged Against the Democrats.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SHELBYvHLE, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE light is
just beginning to be shed upon the sena-
torial election of last Tuesday, and it shows
that Senator Carpenter was defeated ON
the face of the returns by the most infam-
Gus and wholesale use of money. In this
city the Democrats bought votes open
ly at s. head, ana one Democratic work
er has boasted since the election that he
bought no less than twenty voters for E w
ing. Money was raised at Indianapolis
among certain aspiring politicians and
dropped into this county inbehaf of Ew-
ing. In Decatur county the use of
money was more bold and on
larger scale than in this. Ex-senator
Carpenter left for Greensburg tonight to
investigate the corruption that was used to
secure his defeat. The vote of that county
was canvassed to-day, and 1T was found
that the returns of Clinton and Forest Hill
townships. and the southwest precinct in
Greensburg. were illegally made out and
improperly signed, and some of the papers
ing out of the three precincts. This gives
Carpenter 81 majority in Decatur county.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Carpenter has
been defeated by the corrupt use of money
and the wholesale bribery of voters, and
he will prepare at once to bring a contest.
Even If the matter does come before par
tisan Senate, he will at least have the
chance to expose the corrupt means used to
defeat him.

THE BARB-WIRE CONTROVERSY.
A Representative of the American Patentees
Says the French Claim Is an Old Story.
snecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, Feb. 14.-The at
tention of representative of the Wash
burn & Moen Manufacturing Company was
called to an article, from st. Louis in the
indianapolis Journal of to-day, claiming
the invalidity of their patents on barbed
wire, ON the ground that the device had
been patented in France In 1866, prior to
the date of the Washburn & Moen patents.
He stated that it was the same old story in
new dress. His company own and control
over $50 patents upon different forms of
barbed wire and mach tinery in this country
and in Europe. The fact that the company
have licensees in France, Canada, Germany,
Australia and England, who are paying a
royalty to the Washburn e. MOen company
is sufficient to refute the story from st.
Louis. The st. Louis article comes from
parties who are being prosecuted IN the
courts for infringements, and who take this
method of securing the sympathy of the
public. The suit entered against the Van
Camp Hardware Company, of Indianapolis,
is for damages for handling ''moOnshlne,"
or unlicensed, ware. In answer to the
question as to whether the company in
tended to bring other suits, he said that
the United States patent laws give paten-
tees or owners of patents the right to sue
all parties for damages who handle, sell or
use an infringing article, and they intend
to bring suit against all parties who are
selling or using it, and to that end are pre-
pairing papers for suits against many job
bers and retailers in Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan and other States. Before deciding to
take this step. they used every possible eff
fort to induce all dealers not to handle it,
but as they continue, Washburn g. Moen
are compelled to sue. No dealer can claim
ignorance. as they have been notified, either
in person or by mail
WoRcrsTER Mass Feb 14-Mr Charles
G. Washburn, of the Washburn g. Moen
Manufacturing Company, says that the
alleged French patent" of Louis Janin
does not void the Glidden patent. Glidden
claims to have invented twisted fence
wire, with spur wire bent at its middle
portion. and clamped in position by the
other wire. He does not claim to have
invented the spurs or prongs.

The White Star Company Makes Heavy Cut,
and the Other Lines Will Do Likewise.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-In regard to the war
between the ocean steamship companies, an
evening paper says: The first blow has
been struck by the White Star company.
1t is the same with the steamship lines as it
is with the railroads. They have had an
understanding with each other to maintain
high rates, but one of the companies has
kicked in the traces and broken the tacit
agreement. A White Star official said this
morning: cit is true that we have made a
cut in freight rates. This step is taken by
us in self-defense. We learned that other
lines were making cuts on the
sly. Therefore we have declared open
war. You see, we could not
well do OF herwise under the circumstances.
Our cut is about 80 per cent. on west-bound
rates on dry goods. In fact our rates are
feet, and the reduction is from los to Is Cd.
No change has been made in the east bound
rates"
The voice of the agent in charge of the
Cunard line Office was loud for war. He
intimated in unmistakable terms that the
managers of his company were prepared for
war. We are fully able to hold our own
in a struggle for public patronage" he said,
'and no other line can Out-dO us in cutting
rates."
uc ODlCtT WuO SpOke
at the GuiOn headquarters, intimated that
his company preferred peace any day, but
could fight pretty lively in case of war.
The representatives of the Anchor, Inman
and National companies are also prepared
for fight. If oil is not speedily thrown
upon the troubled waters, the public
may expect to witness the most bitter war
fare that has ever been waged between the
transatlantic lines. There is great
anxiety on the part OF the agents, on this
side of the ocean as to the action likely to
be taken by the heads of the companies on
the other side. There are indications that
the trouble may extend to passenger traffic
also. In such event both cabin and steer
age rates would be cut. The warfare
which has been inaugurated by the White
Star Line is all the more noteworthy be-
cause it is the first serious cut in west
bound freight rates that has been made in
half a dozen years. The Produce Exc Lange
men are hoping that the cutting will ex-
tend to export rates.

A CHANCE FOR BAILEY.
Has One Democrat q Right to Whip Another
for Voting the Republican Ticket

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
GREENCAsTLE, Ind, Feb. IA case that
seems to have escaped the attention of Mar
shal Hawkins, for the reason, possibly, that
Democrats were the aggressors as we'll as
the sole participants, came up for trial at
the present term of the Putnam Circuit
Court. An old man named Lear, of Jeffer-
son township, was assaulted on the day of
the presidential election. on his return
from the polls, for the simple reason that
be saw proper to vote the Republican
ticket. His assailants were all Democrats,
one of whom pleaded guilty to the assault,
and was fined by the magistrate. Three
of his confederates, Dock Spurgin, Albert
Buis and Scott, Alley, appealed to the Cir
duit Court, where it was clearly proven
that they had aided and abetted in the as
sault. The trial lasted two days, and this
morning the jury game into court and re-
ported their inability to agree upon a YER
dict. They were equally divided in opinion
as to the guilt of the accused. The jury
was composed of eleven Democrats and one
Republican.
