do not believe that the Southern bor-
der States would have seeded from the
Union in 1861 but for the aid and com
fort given them by the Copperheads Of
the North. When one distinguished ora
tor declared that the Union army would
have to march over the dead bodies of
&C, 600 Indiana Democrats before they
reached the South, the magnificent utter
ance electrified Tennessee with hope.
Thousands of men hcsitated upon the
brink of the awful abyss. They loved
the Union and hated the Abolitionists.
The Union was theory" entwined with
beautiful and patriotic sentiments. Slav-
cry was n condition" in which was in
vested the hard earnings of a lifetime
At the supreme crisis came the promise
Of Northern Democrats that they would
not let us be hurt their bitter denuncia-
tons of the Republican party. The South
made the leap.
During the war we saw Indiana reCi
ments and brigades march through the
State of Kentucky. Tramp" Tramp"
Tramp" they passed through Tcnnes-
see, Georgia and South Carolina. We
never did learn how the poor fellows got
over those 10000 dead bodies Of their
Democratic friends and neighbors. We
were fully persuaded they killed and
made corduroy road of them, becau SO
the anti-impcrialists of Indiana said they
would.
Our next hope after we got mixed up
together was that England and France
would help us for commercial reasons.
Vallandigham, Stevenson and u thousand
other Copperheads like the good brethren
who held up Joshuas arms. held ours up
by encouraging us to hold out little
longer, by denouncing the war n fail
ure" and keeping us posted as to the
movements of our enemies.
This is all ancient history, but l, an old
Confederate, can see very readily how
the anti-imperialist league can materially
aid Aguinaldo and his crowd. Every old
soldier, North and South, understands
the force Of moral support. Our war
would. not have lasted three months hut
for Northern Democratic encouragement,
and believe Aguinaldo would have been
as peaceful citizen as Gomez but for
the encouragement he has received from
the sentimental traitors OF the Anti-Im-
perial League.

Democratic Ticket Nominated.


The democratic primaries were con-
Quoted in the various townships
throughout the county Friday, re-
sulting in a very heavy vote being
polled. Everything passed off quietly
and to the satisf action of all interested.
1t was a foregone conclusion that all
could not be successful but each candi-
date, thinking his chances best, worked
diligently in getting his friends to the
polls.
The vote of Mr.. Bondurent was sur
prise to most of his competitors, aud
the vote given Mr.. Curtis, we'll nigh
made him the choice for treasurer.
The election clerks were obliged to
figure nearly ten hours Saturday to as
certain the democratic nominee for re-
corder. 1t was thought until nearly 4
o'clock that Hoy Slngrey, of Walnut
township, was the nominee, but the dis
covery of an error showed MIR. Harley
to be nominated by nine-tenths of q
delegate vote.
The contest for township trustee IN
Center township resulted as follows:

A Delightful Evening.

e. L. Mattingly and wife entertained
q company at their residence in South
Plymouth last Friday. A delectsble
dinner was served in three courses. All
present were old acquaintances; so there
was no lack for soclability. Converse
ton and repartee furnished q delightful
pastime. Besides the ingenious host
and hostess, the following guests were
present: III. Humrichouser and wife,
VIM. Kendall and wife, Amasa John
son and wife, III. A. Snambaugh and
wife, Joseph Swindell and wife, Rev.

THE CLIZBE FACTORY.
A Glimpse of That Institution from
the Inside.

the Inside.
Every day the smoke is pouring from
thirds of the population of Plymouth
have no idea what 1t means. The Clizbe
works is big concern. 1t turns out
tools and machinery to be used in every
part of the world. 1t is a matter of
daily concern that large orders are
shipped to London or Sheffield, Eng
land; to Paris, France; TO Spain, Ger
many, Portugal, Sweden, or to different
countries 10 Asia and Africa. The
farmers in distant Australia sharpen
their agricultural implements with
grinders made right here in Plymouth.
No doubt every citizen of many years
residence has been familiar with the
appearance of that big, empty building
standing just within the southwestern
city limits. 1t is now crowded, story
above story, with machinery and work
benches, and workmen are busy con-
structing appliances made according to
models sent from anywhere and every
where. Up till this time the company
has shipped in all it's castings from
various outside points. After few
days it will do no more shipping OF
that sort. A large wooden structure
has been put up just west of the main
building. This will be used for a
foundry. The smelling apparatus was
being placed in position today. Soon
the hot coke fire will be shooting its
flames against masses of pig iron and
that material will be gathered and
nodded into varied forms of casting
such as the demands of trade may re-
qulre. 1t can be understood that the
foundry Will facilitate greatly in the
promptness of placing orders, and in
cidentslly, may be q source of decreas-
ing expenses.
Interesting as the work shops of this
large concern seem, it is doubly in
teresting to investigate the office. The
business, outside of foreign relation
ships, extends to thousands of towns
sprinkled over every state in the Union.
Each mail is laden with new names
and new orders to be taken account Of.
If the old system of book keeping
were employed it would mean hopeless
inadequacy. Mr.. Clizbe, to meet the
peculiar demands of this business, has
invented a system of reference which
simpliies the old methods to a wonder
full degree. The ledgers, also, are SIM
plified so that it is impossible for an
error to develop without being able to
locate it almost Immediately.

Because the half-cent was little
used prior to 1857, when that coin
became of the past, the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat assails its useful
ness now. The conditions of then
and now are so very different that
surprise is expressed at the Globe
Democrats view. There is greater
competition, and closer bargaining
now than there was even a decade
ago. The department store has en-
tered into the history of commerce,
and the cents are cut in two in value
without remorse. The half cent
piece is needed.

Brightside Notes.

Twenty-eight counties are now repre-
sented in the children's home, a con-
tract with Gibson county being the last
one signed. Five boys ranging in age
from to l6 years arrived yesterday in
charge of County Commissioner Moore
of Gibson county. Two little fellows
aged four and six came from Kewanna
on Wednesday accompanied by Mrs. j..
p. Russell, wife of Trustee Russell, and
an eight-years' old boy arrived from
Columbia City accompanied by Mrs.
Steele of that place. The present en-
rollment is 101 children.
The home farm now includes los
acres, an eighty off the Morris farm ad-
joining us on the west having been re-
Gently added. All boys over eight years
of age will be placed in classes and sys-
Dramatically taught farming, gardening
and the care OF stock. A practical
farmer will be in charge. The girls are
already classified and are under instruc-
Jion by an expert in all branches of
house work and family sewing.
Miss Barr is engaged in drilling the
children in an Easter exercise and their
rehearsal on Friday was well worth
hearing. Twenty dozen eggs will be
ueed on Easter day and the usual joy
Gus time is expected. Nests of brilli-
sntly colored eggs will adorn the break
fast table.
The Brightside boys and girls are q
self constituted humane society, and
consequently the farm is a paradise for
pets and wild birds. For the proper
protection of the latter, the place will
soon be placarded with mo trespass"
signs and any fellow caught shooting
on this domain will be summary dealt
with. Humane society publications,
books on birds, child's natural his
tory, ETC., would be a welcome addition
to our library. This last is a pointer.

Thanks the Democracy.

L desire to thank the democracy of
Marshall county for the honor conferred
in my nomination for representative.
While the majority of the delegate vote
is not large, it is source of much salts
faction to me to know that | carried
every township in the county with the
exception of German.
Mr.. Kitch and myself made friend
ly campaign and l certainly consider
that he is entitled to congratulations
for the strong endorsement given him
by his home township.
The battle for the various nomina-
tions has been vigorous, but the con-
test is over, settled by the votes of the
democrats of the county. All demo-
Gratis will put their shoulders to the
wheel and without doubt the old time
600 majority will be given the entire
ticket. CLAY w. METSKER.

Turned Over n New Leaf.

We clip the following resolution from
the Culver City Herald of last week:
eve desire to hereby announce that
we can be counted from this date as a
follower of Him who died upon the
cross for the remission of sin. We do
not expect to be perfect, but we do ex-
pect to do our very best by Gods help
to lead different life than we have in
the past. We also wish to state through
the columns of the Herald that we have
no ill-feeling toward any man, and if
we have done anyone an injury, will
make the same right 80 far as it lays in
our rower provided they will give US
the opportunity. This is all that can be
expected of any man. Yours truly,

The remark has frequently been
made that laboring men could better
their condition very materially and
prepare themselves for the hard
times which periodically make their
appearance, if they would save their
earnings more carefully during peri
DDS of prosperity. This, unforru-
nately, is true of goodly number
of laborers, yet the statement does
not apply to all of them, as the de-
posts in many savings banks show,
The depoits of many of those in
situations, especially in the East, are
made up largely of small savings
by the laboring classes. When the
last panic came on, these people
were not distressed, but were well
prepared to pass through the finan-
cial storm. They have thus set a
wholesome example which could be
profitably followed by their less
provident fellow laborers.- South
