LEEDS ( HARRINGTON
R. r. CO.
First Mortgage 6 per cent Bonds,
DUE JULY 1896.

We have bought $633,OoO Maine
Central Consol. as, due 1912, and
offers the holders of Leeds and Far
mington 6's, the opportunity to ex-
change the same for the former on
the following favorable terms.
On or before Nov. 18th, 1895, we
will deliver Maine Central Consol. As
at par, and prepay the interest due
April LIST, 1896, at 4 per cent per an
mum for the unexpired time, receiv-
ing in exchange an equal number Of
Leeds and Pennington bonds, allow
ing par and 6 per cent accrued in
terest to date of exchange.
The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds & Pennington bonds on a
8 7-8 per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated 4's at
par, by using the premium obtained
on the former in purchasing the as.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that these 4 per cent bonds are
now practically first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
253,30O outstanding [when the
Leeds & Pennington are converted
out Of a total Of $9,000,000, to take
the place of prior lien bonds; in five
years this balance will have been re-
tired and the consolidated mortgage
become a first lien.
The saving in the interest charges
in the next few years is approx
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of $4,000,
making total OF nearly 10000 or
2 per cent ON the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 or 10 per cent on the capt.
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve
ments.
We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders
thereby obtaining long, choice Sc
curity at moderate cost.
The As not exchanged, as above,
will be offered to the public at an
advanced price.

The attitude of ex-President Harrison
toward the Republican presidential nomi-
naUion is thus stated by the chairman Oh
the Republican State COMMITTEES OF In
diana:
Gen. Harrison is not candidate for
President, but I have every reason 20
believe that it viii. be very pleasing TO
him to have the Indiana delegation
favorable to his nomination for PRESIDENT
1t would certainly be deserving com
pliment to Gen. Harrison to know that
the Republicans of Indiana favor MS
nomination for another term. am con-
WINGED that he will not be candidate TO
such an extent as to enter into scram-
BILE for the nomination, but L beileqe Gnat
if the nomination should come to him ne
would accept it and make the ace, no
matter what the discussion in the next
campaign may be. The real issue in the
minds of the people will be the COMPARE
son of Gen. Harrison's able administra-
ton with the plumbers Of the present
Democratic administration, and it is my
opinion that the people of the party
throughout the country are likely to
choose as their standard bearer the man
who gave to the people the most prosper
Gus administration the country has ever
known.
PerhapS more interesting ohan one
statement Of the chairman as to the atti-
tude of Mr.. Harrison, which does not
differ very materially from the many
statements that have preceded it, is his
declaration of what the issue of the next
campaign will be- 1t is entirely novel.
Opinions have differed as to whether the
issue would be the currency question OF
the tariff, but now we have it laid down
that the rsal issue will be the comparl-
son of Gen. Harrison's able admlnlstra-
ton with the blunders of the present
Democratic administration. Perhaps
the reason why this issue assumes such
prominence in the gentleman's mind is
that it naturally suggests Mr.. Harrison
for the candidate.

The new constitution of South Carolina
makes lynching a felony and Furnishes
severely an officer who surrenders pris-
oner This is we'll, but there has got to
be a great change in public sentiment
before lynche1s of the black man in that

real stumbling block is the juries, which
can always screen the lynoher by refusing
to indict or convict him. and which al
ways will until there is a radical change
in the feelings of the community.

Will enable you to have music in your home at
any and all times, without tho aid of a musi-
clan.
1t can be used by every member Of the
family as the operation Of playing it is so
simple that it can be learned by anyone with a
few days practice.
1t is not mechanical instrument, but is
capable OF the most delicate shaoings OF tempo
and expression.
Any piece of music can be obtained for the
Eolian, but it is designed for and particularly
adapted to the highest grades of classical and
operate music. All the Wagner Overtures
works from all the masters. are arranged for
the Holian, and are played by it with wonder
full orchestral effect.
The tone OF the Eolian is peculiarly soft and
beautiful, resembling, more than anything else,
a small orchestra, with the different parts.

either way. OF the 26, 600 registered un-
doubtedly good many will vote against
extending the suffrage, so that the ma
jority opposed to female suffrage among
the women in the cities is evidently
overwhelming. The registration has
not closed in the country towns, but
the chances are that in them there
is even less female suffrage sem
timent than in the cities. With
protest of such large dimensions from
the women themselves against broaden
ing the suffrage, as these figures indicate.
no legislature is likely to take action for
its extension.

The fact that the great majority of
women do not want to vote still continues
TO be the great stumbling block in the
pathway of the female suffragist. Only o
few over $4,000 women have registered
in the Massachusetts, cities under the
referendum act which gives males and
females OF voting age chance to express
their sentiments on the question Of
granting municipal suffrage to women.
A year ago in these same cities 255, $50
men were registered, and as the number
of women of voting age is probably about
the same as the men the registration Of
the women this year shows that only one
woman in ten takes enough interest in
the referendum to qualify herself to vote

1t is not at all probable that the United
States will be involved in war with Eng
land over the Venezuelan boundary line
and it is not at all likely that any con-
siderable number of people in this cou:.-
try want it to be- We did not go to war
with England over our own northwest
boundary and it is exceedingly improbable
that what we would not do for ourselves
we are going to do for Venezuela Never
theless the case is one where the United
States will be thoroughly justified in
urging very renuously upon England
resort to arbitration to settle the con-
troversy. Each nation makes claims and
each one supports its claims by evidence.
There is conflict of testimony, and the
only fair way to settle such an issue
is TO submit the evidence to impair
tial persons and abide by their decision.
England can hardly afford to ignore this
method in this case because she has the
power to force Venezuela to accept her

Diary lines may be with country stronger

For some reason, difficult to explain,
she A. P. A. people are more active in
Massachusetts than in any other state in
the Union. Indeed in no other statedoithey
seem to make any noise whatever. But
in many Massachusetts, towns they have
been able to dictate candidates for
representatives, and have succeeded in
making the contests in those towns a
fight between the A. P. A. and the op-
position. 1t is now proposed to make
Massachusetts, the headquarters of the
national organization. Possibly the fact
that there is a large Catholic element in
most of the cities in Massachusetts has
had something to do with stimulating
the A. P. A. movement, though in New
York, which also has a large Catholic
element, the movement cuts no figure at
all And possibly the fact that the Hon.
El jah A. Morse resides in the Bay State
may have something to do with it.

Wedding Bells .

It is prehars little out of the ordin-
airy to give an account of marriage
i'll this part of the vale before it occur
but in this instance we find it lmpOS-
sible to restrain ourselves. II may be
surprising but nevertheless true; our
esteemed fellow citizen, Guy Sparks
will take unto himself a companion in
life in the person of Miss Myrtle Huff
aker. The marriage will take place
this evening at the residence of the
brides parents nearSharon. Rev. Hop
wood is the man chosen to send the
young couple on their way rejoicing.
The groom is known by every body
in the community as a gentleman OF
much worth and high social standing
and has always been recognized as one
of the mainstays of the young fratern-
ity. If our judgment is worth any
thing, Mr.. Sparks is to be enYied for
his choice.
The bride is one of the most
loyable and popular young ladies of
the county, having resided in the
Sharon vicinity ever since her child
hood. She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Huffaker and counts her
friends by the score. She is highly
accomplished young lady and will be
a credit to the Sparks household.
The wedding will be a quiet affair,
only relatives and close friends will be
present. We have not learned the
names OF best man and bridesmaid and
are therefore unable to give them.
The young couple will make no ex-
tensive wedding tour; they will reside
on the Sparks farm east of town for
te present and will manage the same
the coming year.
The INDEX prides itself in having
the opportunity of extending congratu-
lations to this estimable young couple
and hope that the richest blessings
may be bestowed upon them during
their future life.
