WEIINESII.U MW 14, 1881.
Rising Fawn, May 9. —1 am a citi
zen of Datlc county, 1 was horned and
raised hear. Where is some strange
fveaksjof natnie in this vicinity which
I wish to call yonr attention, and the
attention of the public generally. In
1878 the good citizens of this vicinity
mutually agreed to build a school
house, church and Masonic hall; so all
nun rich and poor felt an interest in
♦ce enterprise. So all went to work
and contributed according to tlicit
in ans. Their idets [ roved to he laig
ei than their means would admit, still
iliev continued to carry on the woik.
Ju ihe meantime our Bother Cross, a
better man n« ver lived, contributed
liberals’ as well as oilier, and the fact
was ascertained ilmt there had to be
jaised more than the public, at that
lime, wax able to pay, to carry out the
p| hi ret fourth. Mr. Cross, who at
that time was a drinie svmker, had
some surplus money ou hand, he ad
vanced enough money to carry out the
pri'grame for the good ol all, and taken
a mortgage on the basement story o
the building, which was to have been
a sclvol room. So time went on, the
bail ling was erected to tlie second
Mo > ; the churched ceased to do any
more, altei using all the money donated
by the lodge and pubisc generally, and
and public, and failing to con ply with
the agreements by the leading mcni
licisof the church. So the lodge had
1« proceed to elect their part of the
l ni'dmg extia of all agr« t
incuts and former donations,
’which c<>st tlen tliree or foil bund
led dollars. So by tliis extra expense
the lodge, at that lime, was unable to
pay; so the mechanic ti'sd his lean, and
had the lodge i om sold. Mr. < r s
Mops in and bids the property of] an
came into the lodge and gave them un
limited time to pay the debt. God
bless bis son’! A bettci man neve;.
Jived in this town. At the death o
Br-ther Cro«s he appointed .las, \\
Blevins executor of his will, who in
pursuant of his duty had to foreclose
a mortgage given by the lodge and
chinch, which icsnlted in a comproni
ise. The L»d *e ami churches ipleased
all tlieii claims to the basement st-.n
m tin* building, which was at the time
unfinished and in no condition tor me.
Onr progranie was then, that we would
make a church ami school room of the
seco id story, which worked all l ight
until our present preichet came,to wit:
Mr. Caines, he being, as I suppose,
perfectly ignorant of the trials, strug
gles ami hardships ‘hat the poor peo
ple of this community had already
gout* tinoitgh, he Utnisplf * t that time

the church room wa- tmt good enough
for him to preach in; the walls was
too rough for him; it was attaining to

Washington, .iD. C., May o. —The
result of the vote to strike out the enact
ing clause of the Morris son tariff bil
has had a contrary effect to wlnit was
hoped and expected by those Denio
ciats who united with the Republican*
in defeating this eminently wise and
just measure. They had supposed it
would tjuito of the ques
tion and that the masses of li party
would accept this vote of forty-one
Demociats and one hundred and eigh
teen Republicans to strike out tiie
enacting clause as a verdict against
t!i'* one hundred and fifty-one .Demo
crats and four Republicans who voted
ii proceed with the consideration of the
bill. Such has not been the effect,
however, foi even friend of tariff re
form is now more determined than ever,
and out of more than fifty Members
and twenty Senators with whom yonr
carret.p,anient has conversed not one
is for dropping the agitation ol tlie
question, but all say the ball must
roll ou and those who had not the
courage or manliness to fairly meet
the issue in Congress must be made to
mee; it at Chicago m July. The vote
has produced a revolution in senti
ment bore and even Republicans who
voted to kill the hill, because it was a.
Democratic measure, now say that re
form is ivcessary and it will le the
first duly ot me Republican party, *if
they succeed in November next, to # ac
eomp'ish what Democrats have tailed
to do. Not only so, hut honest stal
wart Democrats, who only a week ago,
were so oaruest and outspoken in their
advocacy of the Domination of thc fc ‘ohl
ticket” are on the war pi*!i ’.ijfainft
Til,ion. who they say, they have ever
reason to believe, advised ami support
ed Randall in his course. A very’able
conservative Senator in a company of
Senator? and Representatives last even
ing, tlmt to him the whole matter was
plain: Baudnl! and Dana’s Sun but
reflected i lie wishes of i'i'den and lie
should have n » more of him. To this
view every one present assented and
mme ol them in Words’ more emphatic
than elegeiit, ami one of them siid>
‘lf Sam Randal! has succeeded in stay,
in j icmporarilv the success of this vi
ta! measure of Democratic reform, he
has succeeded in damning himself for
all time and his master with him.”
It is now generally believed that
Congress will hurry through with tin*
appropriation and other absolutely
necessary Dills and he able to adjourn
befo'e the first of July. A majority'
< f the friends ol tariff relonn favor this
idea and hoped to get through in time
to be at Chicago, July Bth. and see
mat a lihging revenue reform ta:iff
platform is adopted. «

that John’*, chance* were better than
Chester’s and he might fare better in
the near future by declining the place
and he gushed aside the offer. The
Presidentjsecing his cause lagging,and
tailing to do anything with the offic,,
in hands, has concluned to ga hewe to
his old stamping ground and see “tin*
boys” and try some ot bis old methods
—some .of the ways with which he is
entirely familiar—to see what can be
done to help his boom along. Conse
quently, lie went over eo New Yoik
the middle- of the week, and will be
absent until lie can get bis political
fences fixed a little. Meanwhile Blaine
is taking things calmly, and is daily
braced up with Hope_as reports from
bis book agents come in. After tbe
election next Nuvembei these Republi
can fellows will wonder why they
cared so much lor the empty honor ol
tee nomination and spent so much
time, patienoe, means, and according
to the statesments of the newspapers
of their own party, the little reputa
tions they had to secure it.
During the entire week the city has
been filled with the disciples of Fscit
