Logansport Weekly Journal (Newspaper) - May 12, 1883, Logansport, Indiana
Jan s3 vol. 35.Logansport, Indiana saturday a if 12, 1883.--10 pages. No. 22. Senator Hawley of Connecticut in his speech before the civil service Beform woo Patlon in Boston the other evening criticized she truly that Superior claims of persons in to Are a a ways ready to enlarge upon the an cleanliness of politics but Are never willing to assist in f Uri tying them. He said Quot it there is a Man i dislike it is the Man who tasks about his morality and purity who sits on the Fence and to Sites no part in politics. I hey say that but Foi the caucuses gentlemen would go to Congress. But gentlemen do go to Congress to Day and As a body they represent the highest and Best element in the country there never was such a Challenge As is Given to the manhood of the Young men of America today. John mor Rissey was the Best Man in his District. The representative As a Rule is the average of the it mu6t take a Good Deal of courage to face life on 60 cents a Day especially if the Man who earns this pittance has a Kimily dependent on him for support. Under such circumstances therefore it in Little wonder that or. Robert p. Porter in his letter to the new York Tribune from Dowlais Wales is compelled to write that Beer is the principal article of diet among the India by Tants of that forlorn Iron District. Drink is the natural Consolation of no in such wretchedness and Beer is to Hies pest beverage they can get. In Ping with this living misery is or. Porter s description of the desolation and decay to be seen around the Penny Carrau Iron works at Merthyr advil Wirich Are now closed. Twenty years ago these shops were the scene of extraordinary activity now they Are silent noti�ith9tauding the great advantages of their situation. Starve Tian wages Are not always profitable tit seems even in England. The democrats Are having already an inkling of the trouble in store for them in the congressional elections next year. A congressman is to be elected soon in the ill District of West Virginia in place of John e. Kenna who w s chosen senator. The District gave about 3 000, democratic majority in 1880,but the Tariff question did not enter into the contest then. It is now an element however the interest in the growing manufactures of the state having attracted attention to the subject. The republicans nominated a candidate and forced the fighting on the ground of Protection to Home industries. The democrats were compelled to meet them there and to Call to their Aid the most prominent protectionist in their ranks sex speaker Randall. The Success of the republicans in the present canvass cannot be calculated upon but tie fact that they have been Able to cause a panic in the democratic ranks in a Strong party District by coming out boldly in Cavor of Protection is an indication of what they will be Able to do in 1884 in the South. By time scientific research Brigt a new explosive agent within the control of Man there is general dismay among All old women and hysterical Edford in the Laud. The ease with which terrible destruction can be caused by the felonious use of dynamite is a present oct Facion for wringing of Handa Aad deploring what is liable to happen to the world. It is Only forty Odd years ago that the manufacture of Sulphur matches was looked upon with far More reasonable dread than is dynamite to Day. The inhabitants of this country at that time were not educated up to the rapid developments of to Day. The first manufacturers of matches bad a hard time of it overcoming the prejudices and also the superstition of the citizens of new England who could hardly Disis amp Oci ate Brimstone from the Agency of the Devil. The newspapers of that period saw the whole country enveloped in flames As the result of placing such a Sample firebrand in the hands of mischief carelessness Aud incendiary so. They termed the granting of the privilege to manufacture Sulphur matches Quot a bid for it is needless to Kay that their fears were never realized. Arson does not Spring from the Means to commit it but from the malice that inspires it. So the dastardly and destructive use of explosives is not the result of the discovery of dynamite but of the unwholesome and incendiary spirit of wicked Man who encourage it. The Means of doing evil have always be no attainable to such dwards As o Donovan Emsa. Bubb Only when an unhealthy Agi Latiol like toe present dynamite furore awakens the evil passions of the Irish that he can find Chi Stariea to Loat to humanity and Wisdom a to use such maans. The fear of dynamite will soon die out and it May become As useful an agent in the hands of peace and Industry As the once ure Adail sul Pher match. State sweepings.

The reason of our giving extracts from our own letters is two fold first to make the references of our correspondents Plain and second we Are endeavouring to give a running history of the Grange in this part of the state and can do it better in this manner than by formal articles. Youso America ind., nov. 30,1882 mrs. T. W. Fielding Wilson Florida. Dear Madam and Bister a your esteemed favor of the 4ih instant came to hand on the 11th, and the copy of the Florida dispatch for which i sincerely thank you arrived by the next mail. When i think of your Beautiful country the Laud of Flowen Quot Quot the Italy of America Quot i roof Entiat other things Side from my mind and my imagination revels among the luxuries of your wonderful tropical vegetation. Among tie Many vegetable productions that i understand Are to be found in your state i desire More to see the Cocoa Palm than any other though i have Little doubt that if i would leave Here now where the ground is covered with six inches of Snow and the water with one half Inch of ice and immediately go to Florida among what to me would be the bewildering variety of strange and Beautiful objects and behold the glorious Luxuriance of tropical vegetation surely i would feel As if i had been transp after to another world. I am surprised and sorry to Leam that the Grange is in such a Low condition in your state. You ask my advice As to what you should do to build up our order there. I feel incompetent to advise but am willing to give my opinion in the matter. Your idea of calling a Deputy from some other state is Correct and is the first thing you should do. In connection with him you should have a series of lectures by one or More of the staff of the National lecture Bureau and thai work should be supplemented by a generic and thorough dissemination of Grange literature. In Cass Carroll and Howard counties in this state we Are attempting to establish a Grange department in the county papers. I have been appointed editor in my county. If you Ever have the Good or it May be bad Fortune to see me i am sure you will think that in making an editor of me the Granges used their last available stick of editorial Timber in this part of the country. We Are working determinedly for the Success and up build ing of our order and expect to succeed too. We have a staff of As Good state officers As there is the Union and it is their i Iel Ity Energy and High order of talents that have saved our order during the great declension and Are leading it on to Victory. Ido firmly believe that our Noble order is doing More to sooth the sectional animosities and heal the moral wounds of the late War than any organization excepting the Church of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hoping to hear from you soon Aad that our correspondence May be pleasant to ourselves and interesting and profitable to those i Hout As Well As those within the Gates i am. Fraternally your brother. John e. Hopkins. Of Lomance Aad Beally. The Crawfordsville journal commenting on an interview published in the Lafayette courier with a gentleman who recently returned from Dakota remarks Quot one Man has been heard from who has not flt und Dakota a Paradise. His experiences have been set Forth in tie l Fayette courier of last tuesday and his statements Are perhaps More reliable than those of speculators and real estate agents whose motives for singing the praises of the territory Are probably not As disinterested As they i gtd to be. His name is Joseph Madden and like hundreds of of bar men he was induced to leave a Fine farm in Indiana with the Prospect of making an immense Fortune in the wilds of a Takota. His crop last year was almost an entire failure and the Prospect this year so far is not encouraging. He Intel Ivy to Settle up his ? and return to this i Tate which he bitterly regrets having left. Fargo he found to be a dead town and the merchants Are apprehending the failure of the wheat crop this year with the gravest fears. Hundreds of men who went there As he did. Have shared Bis experience and Are Selling out and returning to the East. Let year land rented for one half the crop delivered at the station the tenant to furnish his own seed. This year land owners furnish the it eed and ask for but one half the crop on the farm and even non these easy terms Are not Able to secure tenants. The Snow is four a a a deep. Last Winter the weather was fearful two Story houses were completely burled beneath the Snow and Light had to be used in by time As Well As by night. People suffered horribly during the prevalence of Bli. Ards Aud at such times remained within doors As much As possible. Six months out of the twelve must be spent in enforcing idleness. Whether Hli statements have been exaggerated or not a Farmer who has a farm in Indiana where the soil is Gaa Erauw Fertile the climate As Good As climate is anywhere and crops Are raised with comparative ease should consumer Well before he gives up a certain Means of earning his living for an uncertainty. Many a Man has work All his life his wife has added her Energy and Economy to his labor and they Lead secured enough to make their old age a in Fortunie has risked and lost All i a the foolish Hope of Inaki Gau enormous Fortune which he could not manage in Nice Caes out of ten it he bad it.
