APlain statement of Facts.


A FEW weeks ago when we referred
to the fact that the publishers of the
Mountain NeacS had been unabA to
have their paper satisfactorily print
ed at a printing office in Oakland OPP
Grated by some novices at the print
ing business and brought their type
forms to this office where the work
has been done to the gratificationy of
the Nesos' proprietors. we had no idea
that the editor of the Journal would
lose his head and take the bait SO
easily. He nibbled, he bit and was
landed and in consequence he has
TROUBLES of his own simply because
we published matter of news aud
of fact.
In the issue of THE REPUBLICAN d
May 9Th we published a letter frohl
the proprietors of the Ne,oS in whi@h
they stated in substance that thew
had discharged the aforesaid novices
simply because the work done by
them was not satisfactory. This let
ter bore the date upon which it was
written, viz. May 4th, and proved
conclusively that the statement we
made, namely that the novices had
been discharged, was correct. In the
same issue of THE REPUBLICAN we
publicly branded the editor ofkthe,
Journal as being a liar. We have
not receded from this position and
we do not propose to. We reiterate
the statement that he is a liar and
has been proven such.
In answer to the article appearing
in the Journal of last week: That
paper contained letter from the
publishers of the Mountain NeaCS.
The editor of the Journal played an
exceedingly sharp game by emitting
to print the date upon which the let
ter was written and thereby hoped
to make it appear that it was written
later than the one published by us
on May 9th, when in fact Messrs.
Rathbun & Co. sent the aforesaid
letter to the Journal on April 9th in
reply to note sent them a few days
previous by the editor of the Journal
in which the Journal tried to make
it appear that he had been lily treat
ed by us in referring to the fact that
they had been discharged as incompe-
tent to do certain printing for the
NelCS. In publishing the letter last
week the Journal tried to throw dis
credit upon the publishers of the
Ne1CS, two gentlemen of unimpeach-
able honesty and integrity.
We are not only willing but anxious
to compare records with the Journal
in respect to veracity, but sobriety
also and are willing to let the public
be the Judge.
The editor of the Journal stated al
so that he had been actively engaged
in business in this county for more
than twenty years when in fact he
first became business man in 1884
as assistant postmaster in OaklaIR1 :

There's II flag that is known through a wider
domain
Than The conquering eagle OF Rome
dominion not severed by mo ntain or main;
But joined in one glorious home.
And the sleepy sun watches it far in the north,
Where winter its silent court holds,
And the silver set stars in the south land
shine forth
To Tighten its lingering folds
For our banner may blow in the bitterest
blast,
Or wanton meath tropical sun;
But wherever its quivering shadow is cast,
The speech and the spirit are one.
And the stars and the stripes have been
shredded and shot
On many terrible field,
But have shown that their colors were right.

From nation that knows not to yield.
But though it may toss over conouering host.
We fight but that battles may cease,
And we exon our proudest and noblest
boasts
Are the holier triumphs OF peace.
For our flag is the flag ofthe fearless and free,
To the teaching ofliberty true;
So we'll honor and cherish where'er we may

as we are from tyranny and from SUI
perstition? Infinitely less than moth
ing. If we measure a mans need and
our responsibility by the extent to
which he agrees with us about hazy
matters in the spiritual realm, we live
again back in the centuries when
Spain flourished to the full, centuries
of rapine and of prejudice wherein
we ourselves have had share. But
if, as we have done, we clear our
minds of nOn-essentials and finicky
differences, when poor wretch lies
before us imploring bodily pity, then
are we children of the light, the great
clear light that is coming to mems
minds as the world rolls on. Verbal
Creeds are passing; righteous-doing is
on the stage of human progress.

BAR AGAINST THE JUDGE
BENTON COUNTY LAWYERS PROTEST
AGAINST HIS CONDUCT.
He Fined Those Who Adopted ResO-
buttons Against Him-Case Up to
Supreme Court.

At a meeting of the bar of Benton coun-
ty, some time ago, the subject of the bear
ing of different judges came up for discus
sion and resolutions were passed upon this
subject. After dwelling upon the right which
the Constitution of the United States be-
slows upon persons who are up for trial, the
resolutions began an analysis of what a
model judge should be, and from this
turned TO personal mention of Judge s. P.
Thompson. of the Circuit Court of that
county, criticising his bearing in the court
room and methods which they claimed he
had used.
The resolutions say that while the mem
bers of the bar considered him perfectly
honest and conscientious man, they also be-
lieved that his conduct was wanting in
judicial pose and temperament. They also
charged that he withheld the privilege of
trial by jury which should have oftentimes
been allowed. When the judge learned of
these proceedings he at once summoned
each member of the bar who had been pres
ent and participated in this meeting to ap-
pear before him, when he charged them With
contempt and assessed q fine.
An appeal was taken from the Benton
county court to the Supreme Court of the
State and yesterday Attorneys Byron K
and William F. Elliott filed the brief of the
proceedings thus far with the clerk of the
court.

The Second Indiana Cavalry.

The annual reunion of the Second Indiana
Cavalry took place yesterday at Showers
Hall. Speeches were made by the presi-
dent, o. B. Boardman, of Broad Ripple; J.
H. Keely. Benjamin Herrick, Alexander
Hess, Isaiah Duddleson and others. Let
tiers were read from absent members who
are in different parts of the country. c. E.
Merrifield, of this city, sang Come Pledge
the Commodore" and 1.-The Flag of Our
Country" both selections being his own
composition. His wife played the piano ac-
compartment. James l.. Barnett, of Craw-
louisville, the youngest member of the cav
airy was present and made a speech. He
enlisted at the age of sixteen Roswell S.
Hill, of this city, was member of the
cavalry. While leading a charge on April
16, 1864, his leg was shot off. S. L. James,
of Raccoon, Ind, carries the stump of an
arm as a result of this same charge. He
and Hill were riding together. This organ
iZation was the first cavalry regiment or
ganized in Indiana. 1t fought Bragg s
army at Vinegar Hill. Sept. 22 and was en-
gagged in the battle of Perryville, Oct. 8,
1862. The regiment was highly compl-
mented by General Rosecrans for captur-
ing a Confederate train while under COM
mand of Maj. Samuel Hill, in which en-
gagement the enemy was defeated and two
hundred prisoners were captured.
