Another Case of Ricketts,.

The political editor of the Inde-
pendent, that sanity and immacu-
late apostle of purity, had u severe
case of indigestion again, last week.
He attended church and listened
to, what everybody else except the
editor considered sound, logical and
convincing truths, an able sermon
by Rev. Mr.. Rossiter The scribe
evidently must have been sick when
he heard the rottenness of Tam
many, as well as all other wrong
doers, handled without gloves.
Had the Rev. gentleman, who knew
Of what he talked, only pounded
the grand old party Of Lincoln,
progress and prosperity, his re-
marks would have been double
loaded, with a display headline.
But, Oh! Lord, to abuse Boss Gro
ker and Tammany was too much
and straight way the dark lantern
clan was called and a thorough
search was made for Matt Quay,
Joe Sibley and that petition that
was to be circulated and catch (D
the Republicans. The search is
still being made and the clan are
looking for one of Joe Sibley's old
letters, thereby hoping to revive
their dropping enthusiasm. Rev.
Rossiter still lives and the pulpit,
the press and the progressive peo-
pie of this country are in the band
wagon of expansion, prosperity and
sound money. The old broken
down bone wagon, conveying Billy
Bryan, the Independent scribe
with their idols-free trade, free
silver, ETC., will never catch up.
They are travelling with the dead
issues of the dark past.

That able Democratic paper, the Phil
adelphia Record, truthfully says "The
good men and women who are making a
crusade against the army canteen DO not
stop to consider who are their allies and
who would be the benefcaries Of what
they are trying to accomplish. These are
unscrupulous people who kept shops for
the sale Of bad liquors within convenient
reach of the army posts and garrisons, and
who are awaiting the opportunity to as
sumo their occupations. None know so
well as the old soldiers the practical tenn
perance reform that has been effected by
the army canteen."

Another Treat in Store.

The appreciation shown for the two
splendid flower pictures given free to
readers of the great Philadelphia Sunday
Press this year has led the publishers to
provide third great picture which will
be given free with every copy of next
Sundays Press (Juno 81. This picture,
which is quite as attractive as the famous
yard of Roses" and Easter Lilies pic
lures, is called "a Basket of Blossoms" "
1t is by the famous Paul De Longpre,
and is one of his best works. 1t is 20 by
% inches in size and is also noteworthy
as being the first example Of a new method
of color printing: which is quite as won
derful as the picture itself. The publish
crs guarantee that every picture will be
perfect. There is certain to be great de-
mand for next Sundays Press, hence it
will be well for all who want this picture
to order their copy in advance.

To Abolish a Division.

Railroad men in this city are at pres
ent discussing a plan OF the Northern
Central officials to abolish one Of the
divisions of that road. The scheme has
been under consideration for some time,
but whether it will be successful IS not
known. The idea is to get rid of the
division between this city and Sunbury.
At present there are three divisions
on the road between Baltimore and
Emporium. The first extends from
Baltimore to this city, the second from
this city to Sunbury, and the third from
Sunbury to Emporium. If the new
plan is successful, this point will cease
to be freight division terminus. The
trains will be made up at Baltimore
and hauled direct to Sunbury. AT Sun
bury a second crew will take charge
and the train will be taken to Empor-
ium without change OF engines or men.
This would save the salaries of num-
ber of officials and would result in a
slight reduction in the amount of mo-
tive power, but would not affect the
number Of en- employed. Needless to
say, there is no desire on the part OF
the employees for the change.
1t is not known whether this plan
had anything to do with the running OF
the Rockville bridge straight across the
river so as to give the Central trains an
easy curve on both sides, but it is whis-
pered that on account of increased traf-
fic at that point, this was done. The
scheme at present is in its infancy, and
some of the men doubt very much if il
will ever amount to anything. Harris

Meeting at Bluffton.

A democratic meeting was held in
the school house at Bluffton last
Saturday evening and the issues of
the present day were discussed by
local democrats. Addresses were de-
livered by John Murtha, chairman of
the Bluffton township central COM
mittee, d. e. Pike and III. w. Haislet
of Ridgeway, and Len Elzea, of
Bluffton, volunteer soldier in the
late war in Cuba.
The house was we'll filled, many
standing, and strong interest was
manifested in the issues that confront
our great nation to-day. Opportunity
was offered each and all to air their
views, regardless of party, displaying
a liberal mind on the part of the
chairman. This opportunity offered
by the democrats and their chairman
was evidence of desire to hear and
know of both sides of the political
questions and was indeed a commend
able feature. One or two republicans
were called on but declined to speak.
After the addresses, Bryan club
was organized with Andrew Carolan
as chairman and Len ElZea as secre-
tary, and twenty names were enrolled
as members, and this will doubtless
be swelled to fifty. An effort will be
made by the Bryan club to secure a
speaker for Bluffton in the near future.

Hon. John Foley was in the city for
short time on Wednesday. During
his absence in the east he was nomi-
mated for congress, and though he is
no office seeker, he is too good demo-
craft to decline to respond to the call
of his party. AS member of the
Iowa legislature his voice and his work
was at all times in behalf of the peo-
pol and in futherance of their inter
ests. Mr.. Haugen in the Office of con-
gresham on the contrary has cast his
vote in behalf of the banking corpora
tions, giving them absolute control of
the issuing the paper money of the
country, in just such quantities as will
be to their interest, regardless of the
public welfare. He gave his vote in
congress in support Of law to per-
petuate the bonded debt of the coun-
try, indefinitely in the interest of the
national banks. Processing to favor
gold for the people, his vote was cast
infavor of providing the people with
bank notes not a legal tender, which
are to be based upon the assets of the
banks, quite often consisting Of only
the office furniture. The bill for
which he voted provides for the re-
tirement of the greenbacks, and gives
to the banks 21s per cent on the money
invested, beside the interest to be had
upon the bills the banks may put in
circulation. He is himself banker
and he considered only the
interest of that class in
supporting this unjust measure.
This exorbitant rate of interest, every
cent of it comes from the laboring,
the producing classes and from the
men engaged in business enterprises,
that call for the use of money. 1t will
be further noted that the class to
whom all these opportunities are
given by this law, are exempt from
bearing their proportion of the taxes
of the country, the paper money they
issue and its securities, being exempt
from taxation. 1t will also be noted
that Mr.. Haugen is opposed to having
an income tax levied upon this class
who are ''clad in purple and fine linen,
and fare sumptuously every day" :"
These things should not be so, and the
only way to their correction is through
legislation. And to obtain such legis-
lation is to elect men who are opposed
to every form of legislation designed
to help one class, at the cost of another.
Mr.. Foley can be relied upon to use
his influence and vote, if sent to
congress, to correct these inequalities
created by law. If each person in the
district was as intent upon serving
himself as he is in serving his party,
John Foley would be the representa-
tive in congress from the 4th Iowa
district, in the next congress.

The following conversation occurred
on Wednesday morning of this week
between Norwegian citizen of How
ard Center twp. and prominent Cres-
co citizen:
Aye tank we miss our freight this
morning. We baen gone to Elkader
and da freight baengon before we got
har. CaIl-aud Mr.-and I go with
them. Carl he baen out in Laca Peril
county, Minnesota, to buy some land
when court was here last week, and
he didn' got home until too late. He
want to get his second papair to make
him citizen So Mr. and me we
go down and take him to Elkader to-
day, the Judge baen down there now,
and we goin to get him his second
papair, Aye ben da witness and aye
tank Mr.. - he been going down to
witness too.
isn't tia little eNpensiye?" asked
the friend, and Mr.-smiled broad
ly and said, "Aye tink da fare baen
about $3.50 for roun trip but aye don't
care for dat, tank da baen goin to pay
that, and then as if he had forgotten
something which he wished to say or,
perhaps, something that he wished
not to say, he turned to his friend and
asked, "Are you baen democratic" But
it wasn't Jones" that paid the
freight, and Republican patriotism
still belieyeth in the ''full dinner pail. -
ltshows that the republican party
of this county are willing to
eXpend 1880 for one vote for one
time. If the republicans can spend
money like this, every democrat
should do his utmost for his party
during this campaign giving freely OF
his time and of his money for legiti-
mate campaign expenses, if the demo
cratic party is to triumph over the
millions derived sfrom fat-frying the
trusts and corporations the robbers
of the people.
