TYNER CITY, IND, March %, '72.


Editor Republican AS eommunica-
tions appear in your paper from every
part of the country excepting Tyner,
presume it is high time to let your readers
know how the world wags in this part of
our mundane sphere You are no doubt
aware that Tyner City is place of con-
siderable importance, and in regard to
enterprise, is second best in the county,
situated in the midst of splendid farm
ing country We are enjoying better IA
cilities for go ahead village than many
of our rival towns Allow ME to give
you brief description of our commercial
importance.


We are blest, at present, with four
stores, which are in full blast-selling
goods below cost. We also have two sa-
looms and talk of another; but to coun-
teract that we are to have three Church
es the present summer, two of which are
a certainty, and the other will go up no
doubt. The United Brethren have al
ready commenced work on theirs The
Methodist have raised the required
amount, and will commence work in a
week or so. But the most gigantic is
now on the tapis. 1t is to be Tunkard
and Baptist, is to cost $4,000; the dimen
sions are to be 80 by 100 feet to be of
brick two stories high. The upper story
to be used as general school Messrs
Steckman and Black, are, l understand,
the building committee.


The Public School commences next
Monday. We have secured the services
of D. E. Snyder as teacher, and shall keep
him supplied with about 120pupils Too
many for one teacher.


The farmers say that the wheat is in
jured to some extent in this part of the
country, and if the winter lasts until next
summer, we wont average half crop.

The Sen. Editor of the Bourbon Mirror
is anxious to make it appear that the Re-
PUBLICAN is rather small affair, when
compared with with the Mirror. We
have the satisfaction of knowing that
gentlemen of taste and culture, are well
pleased with the REPUBLICAN. If the
editor of the Mirror succeeds in making
the people believe that he publishes a
good paper, and they support it, he should
be satisfied We have never once insin-
uated even that the Mirror was not first
class paper Those who read it can judge
for themselves.


The Mirror has no claims upon the Re
publican party for support, as a Republi-
can paper 1t is too independent for that.
The editor of that paper occupied the un-
disturbed position Of a Republican party
editor in Marshall county, for many years,
and when he left it the Democratic ma
jority was only about 900, which is all
the comment necessary upon his pitchin
style. That counted rather more than
was profitable to Republicanism.

INrEREsT-On the passage Of the bill
in the Legislature to place the interest
law back on the footing under the old
regims, that is to six per cent. on the
one hundred dollars, our delegate, Col.
T. E. McCoole, voted for it. We ques'
ton very much if he expressed the
opinion Of the people Of the county on
the subject. Our people are progress
i've and do not desire to drive all the
capital that is in our county, from 1t.
Pass this bill and we will not be able to
borrow one cent of money, but will be
dependent on other States for it. We
claim and believe that all well-thinking
men will concur with US that this meas,
ure is death blow to public enterprise,
and will be the means OF destroying
thousands of improvements that would
have been Of great value.-NeV Creek

No citizen of another State will loan
money in West Virginia, where he can
only obtain six per cent. interest, and
where he must incur the risk Of getting
nothing at all, If he attempts to charge
a higher rate. The NEST solemn con-
tract made by citizen Of this State for
the payment Of more than six per cent
will be void as to the entire interest, if the
bill now pending becomes a law. No
more foolishly destructive enactment
coulI possibly be passed by the Legis-
lature, and we are glad to find that Mr..
McCooLE did not represent the wishes
Of the people of Mineral county in
voting for the measure.

The project of building railroad
bridge across the Ohio river at this
place meets with much popular favor
and would be unanimously approved
but for the apprehension felt by some
OF our citizens that the cost of such a
structure would be far beyond our
means. The two bridges recently built
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, one at Parkersburg and one
at Benwood, are pointed at as affording
some criterion from which to estimate
the cost Of bridge here. The two cost
about S2,500,000, but in each case the
expense was largely increased by the
long approaches it was necessary to
build before crossing the river proper.
The height Of the banks in this locality
is such that the approaches to the
bridge need not be more than one
hundred yards in length on either side,
and the cost would be therefore con.
siderably less than was necessary at
Benwood or Parkersburg. The Steuben.
vile bridge cost, We are informed,
$750,000, but this was built before the
war when the price Of stone work was
considerably less than now.


A resolution was passed in one
branch Of the City Council, at its last
meeting, to employ an engineer to make
at least an approximate estimate of the
cost Of a bridge, and We hope it may be
the pleasure OF the other branch to-
morrow night to concur. 1t is unques-
tionable that bridge is desired by the
people and it is rapidly becoming a

Before the people of Arizona can become really prosperous and anything like self-reli- ant they must possess themselves of certain means by which most of their everyday wants will be supplied. First, they must engage more extensively in stock-raising, for which almost every portion of the Territory is well adapted; more wheat and other grain must be raised woolen mills, tanneries and works for the reduction of all kinds of ores will have to be erected. Hard bread, soap, can dies, shot, lead pipe, matches, etc, ought to be made at home. We will need at least two founderics, paper mill or two. We will want several cotton and sugar mills, and had we railroad near our great forests we could supply large scope of country with pine, oak, ash and other lumber. Whisky, too, is an article which people will use, and which could he made here, but for the ban placed upon its manufacture by vile revenue law, which is framed in the interest of rich man. ufacturers of the article We can raise all the tobacco that will be needed here in fact, a great deal more, but no Arizonan can afford to enter into the manufacture of tobacco and cigars, owing to the same oppressive law that which prevents any of our citizens from turn ing some of their corn into whisky.

If needed for private purposes the southern portion of the reservation may be restored.

 General Howard did not demand the res- toration of property nor the surrender of those Indians who had murdered white men. He says they have but little property. We presume very little of the plunder was shown to General Howard. They certainly possess arms and ammunition in abundance. Did it occur that they never came by them legiti- mately.-Ed.

His son possibly had hand in it, but the facts were not learned by the party. The Indians all seem to be satisfied with the terms of the treaty, and agree to keep all roads open and to keep within the reservation. One thousand are expected to move at once.

 General Howard does not express any opinion as to the results of his conference. He says, however, that he has done as much without loss of life as could have been done with force. He advocates as a policy that such peace missions should prccede Crook in his military movements.
