THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1891,

For a new party, the so-called Independents of the Nebraska legislature have been carrying things with a high hand. Precedent and law seem to be of no sort of consequence to them.

Gov. Gray has been interviewed on the ,presidential question. He makes it very clear that ‘it is the height of folly to suppose that the Democracy can dispense with the electorial vote of New York. .

THERE is some pretty good legislative timber in the present general assembly of Indiana. I[f good, wholesome laws are not passed this winter, it will not be the fault of these gentlemen. ,

Louis Low, a clothing merchant of LaPorte, formerly likewise engaged in this town, has made an assignment for the benelit of his creditors. His liabiii ties are reported to be about $9,000 Louis has had somewhat similar experience once before. »

Tae South Bend Times says: There was no foolishness, this time, at the meecting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Asscociation. [t confined itself strictly to business coming within its legitimate domain. The summer meeting will be held at Maxenkuckee.

IT sexms to be generally understood at Indianapolis that there will be Important and possibly radical legislation regarding the compensidtion of county officers. There secms to be a general feeling that something will have to .be done to redeem the pledge made in the platform of 1850.

A GoOp MANY FIRMS discovered upon the completion of their invoices that their profits for the year 1890 were not as great as had been foudly expected. But in view of the many disasters tha befel manufacturers and merchantthere is extant a general feeling o becoming resignation to the inevitable —that is to say, business men who suc cessfully braved the storm are glad it is no more.

MasoN J. NißrLack has broken the speakership record in Indiana. The oldest politician doesn’t remember of a speaker of the Indiana house of repre sentatives being re-elected since th: adoption of the present constitution Happily, the record breaking in this particular instance is in favor of a most estimable and thoroughly competent gentleman. Mr. Niblack is a young man with an exceptionally bright future before him.

ANPREW CARNEGIE & Co. have finally

- come to the conclusion to employ no more Hungarians on account of their ( uncertainty aud lawlessness. - Thi: noted firm, an exchange says, is jus: finding out a common principle in political economy ; that the best paid ~ labor is the cheapest, simply because i is aiways the most efficient and intelli gent. Itisalwaysa matter of economy to discharge the poorest workman. lu true saving, one good, intelligent workman is worth two poor ones.

THE scraMBLE for the little offices in the gift of the state legislature was ];erh:-\ps greater this year than that ol two years ago, and that is saying u good deal. As a matter of fact, ver, few people who get any of these pett offices are benefitted in the long run. People from the rural districts, unaccustomed to the innumerable pit-holes at the state c‘ap;iml, stand in constant peril of being swerve from the path ot rectitude and of falling into habits that are certain to lead to ruin in course.o! time. Infinitely better stick to something &t home, even though tle pay be less than that about the state-house at Indianapolis. ‘

PRESENT INDICATIONS are not fayorable to the election of Gen. John M. Palmer as U. S. senator from lilinois The three Farmers’ Alliance members of the Illinois legislature say that they will not vote for Gen. Palmer on ac count of his illiberal views on the financial question. They look upon him as holdinz Wall street views on the subject of money, and as this is the question which most deeply concerns the Farmers’ movement, they declare that a vote for Palmer would be radically inconsistant with their professions. They likewise declare that under no circumstances will they vote for the re-election of Charley Farwell.

Gov. Hove Y's views, as expressed in his annual message, with reference to the alleged unconstitutionality of that part of the election law which provides for an official ballot and does not admit of the writing of a name on the ticket, is very severcly criticised as unworthy of the governor of a great state. The opportunity of voting for anybody likely to receive a handful of votes is certainly great enough under the present law to satisfy the most exacting sovereign. Gov. Hovey bases his objection to the law as it now exists upon that provision of the constitution which guarantees to every citizen the right to vote for whom he pleases. This, however, is mere hair-splitting. When a voter can have the chance of making _ his selection of candidates from four or ~ five different tickets, it ean hardly be ~claimed that his rights are seriously ~ abridged by a denial of the privilege of ‘voting for Tom, Dick and Harry as a ! ~ mere gratification of peeyishness or

INDISCREET LEGISLATION, calculated to destroy rather than restore confidence, ought to be carefully avoided by the law-making power. The free coinage of silver at this particular time, can hardly be considered an urgent necessity. Present laws substantially provide for the coinage of about all the producte of our American silver mines, and more than that is not advisable. Common prudence demands that the utmost care be exercised not to drive gold into retirement. At this critical moment no chances should be ‘taken. Better. let well enough alone.

‘A TELEGRAM from Indianapolis says: *The sentimewrt in favor of a revision of Indiana’s consiitution is growing throughout the state, and the cominz legislature will probably take some step in the matter. It has now been more than forty-one years since the constitution was revi§ed, and it is conceded by the best attorneys that the state has outgrown its present constitution. The press of the state is nearly unanimous in demanding revision.”” The coming legislature could not possibly confer a greater favor or benefit .upon the people of Indiana than to authorize the holding of a constitutional convention. A state constitution made forty years ago needs a thorough overbhauling.

IT IS GENERALLY CONCEDED that the joint resolution offered by Senator Carlisle authorizing the appointment of three commissioners to act with a iike’ number appointed by the Cana dian government in investigating thc commerce of the two countries aud de vising means to promote the increase. is a step in the rigat direction, and ve: Mr. Carlisle says he is certain that Re oublican senators will not allow it t« be acted upon. He says he intend: offering it again at the next session That's right. Reciprocity isSthe prope: thing. There are some difficulties in .he way of establishing completc :ommercial reciprocity with Canada on account of her peculiar relations tc sngland. but where there is a wil there is usually also a way. At an) rate, no effort should be spared tc bring about the much-desired result.

CoL. CLARK E. CARR, a distinguished citizen of lllinois, now representing the United States as minister to Copenhagen, wr tes to Secretary Blaine thai the Danish government has been petitioned to remove all restrictions on American pork, and that that step wi.) be taken as soon as Germany does th same. Col. Carr states, incidentally, that Danish pork is preferred in othe) countries, over that raised in the United States, because Danish swint are slaughterdd earlier than ours. hog: usually being fattened and killed at ceur old. In most European coun tries & bogweighing 200 pounds is pre ierred to those of greater weight [here is also a general belief tha American pork is too fat and thati would be more desirable for table us if it were otherwise. The objection i: )y no means confined to the other side of the ocean. It has frequently been made on this side by persons who have a natural fondness for pork.

~ INCOME TAX THE REMEDY. Our member of congress, the Hon Charles A. O. McClellan, has been interviewed on the subject of the prospective passage of a graduated income tax. Judge McClellan, we are pleas ed to notice, 15 quite hopeful of such « tax being eventudlly passed—perhaps sooner than most people imagine. He says:

“I think without any doubt there will be income tax levislation: in the | uext session of congress. 1 think all the Indiana delegation will favor it except, perhaps, one; and that one lissents not from -opposition to the principle, but because he does not approve of the policy. Both of the senators from llndiana will support it. When I introduced my bill for an in- | come Lax la-t session but few favored it. 'This shows the growth of the idea. [n the recent campaign I made an income tax one of the chief issues, and | events proved that it was well receiy:d: Lexpect to eontinue the fight until a bill is passed. I have talked with JAfty or sixty members of the house on | the democratic side who are in favor of such a bill. 1 bhave not yet talked with any republicans. As I said last May, during the tariff debate, we have | 2,000 millionaires who own in the aggregate $35,000,000,000 which is un- | taxed. One-half per cent. per annum | upon that sum would produce $175,vOY,LO), more than enough to ray a | pension to every mun. who served in |and was honorably discharged from the army. It is said that an income tax.ls unpopuiar and odious to those who have to pay it. That is true; all taxes are odious. They are like sorrow, sickness and death—odious and certain—but they must be endured. An income tax is further said to be odious because it reveals the secrets of a man’s business. Well, so do all taxes. In my state—and [ presame all other states pursue the same course —a man is compelled to swear how much persoral property he owns. what it consists of, how much he owes, and who he owes it to; and if fraud is suspected he may be brought before an officer and catechised under oath. As long as a man is honest in these matters there is nothing odious about it. It is only when he wishes to deceive that it becomes odious —odious to tell the truth. No law-wiil compel a man to return his income at a greater sum than it is. It was in the interest of cepital that theincome tax was repealed. By the repeal of that tax capital has becn. relieved of taxation by the federal government for twenty years, and now 1 think, in the intcrest of the people, it ought to be re-inacted. Twenty years ago it produced a revenue of $73,000,000 per annum. The same law now would produce $150,1000,000.” | o ~ - The single exception noted by J ud‘ge’ McClellan,as pertaining to the attitude ' of the Indiana delegation, is doubtless Jason B. Brown, the gentleman who)

prevented the adoption of an income tax plank by the demoecratic state convention in 1880. Mr. Brown acts upon the foolish assumption that because some Democrats were opposed to an income tax during the sixties they ought to: be so still ; which is to say, that a Democrat oughtneither to learn nor to forgetanything. But that isnot Democracy ; that is Bourbonism. Mr. Brown should manage to keep up with ‘the procession.

No One Too Poor to Take a Paper,

No man, the LaPorte Argus says, is so poor that he cannot take a newspaper, and no man is so busy that he cannot find time to read one or more papers regularly. These are two facts that everybody knows to be true, if they stop to think about them. The income of one hen will furnish a family with one good newspaper, and if only one paper is taken it is aiways advisable that it should be the one that is printed at home, because it not only zives the general news but it gives the local news, and that cannot be had in any paper printed in a large city. The local news is always of interest and substantial value to the whole family, but especially so to the wife acd children. It interests and instructs them and at the same time teachesthe children to read and carefully observe what is going on around them. The price of one gluss of beer or one cigar each week will more than buy all this for the entire family. Think of that, aud then say whether you can aftord to take a paper or not; also consider the man who will not deny himself one smoke or one drink for the benefit of nis family. ‘There are a thousand vays where five cents a week can be aved to put in a newspaper, and no vuy thut the money could be spent ihat would be of more general and tusting benelit to all the family. The newspapers draws the curtains from he important events of the whole world and gives éverybody a chance to «¢e and judge for thewmselves. It shortens all the drearv da: s and all the long and weary nights. It is in all re«pects a substantial and trustworthy riend. No man ean be just to his wmily without giving them a local vaper, and no man be just to himself vho does not take two or more good newspapers. There is more reading matter in one copy of a good newspaper than there is in the average ook that costs one dollar, and as a rule there is more valuable information in it, but it costs le:s than four cents when taken by the year. In view of tuese facts how many men are there who cannot afford to take a newspaper?

e ———l} < B— —— Indiana Divorce Statistics.

According to the reports received by Wm. A. Peele, Jr., chief of the bureau f statistics in Indiana, seventy-seven counties 1n this state reported 1,721 divorces during 1890, showing an insrease over 1889 of 309, as during the latter year eighty counties reported ,412 divorees. KEstimating upon the »asis, the entire ninety counties of the state would give a total of 1,623 in 18539 and 2,056 in 1890. Of the number ceported in 1889 there were 1,019 rranted to wives and 393 to husbands. Che causes were: Abandonment, 494; ruelty, 325; failure to provide, 230; Ironkenness, 131; adultery, 113; and rther causes, 121. Of the number revorted in 1890 there were 1,236 granetd to wives and 485 to husbands. The causes: Abandonment, 544; cruelty, 353; failure to provide, 189; adultery, 185; drunkenness, 142; other causes,: 308. In 1887 the divorces reported by ifty-nine counties were 1,034, the total estimate for the state being 1,612. In 885 the number reported by fifoy-six counties was 1,965, and the total esti m..te 1,748, making the total reported luring the last four years 5,232, and the total estimated for the euatire state, 7,039.

The report for twenty years —from 867 to 1886, inclusive—showed that [ndiana is credited with 25,193 divorces if to this numb 'r is added the number of divorces granted during the past four vears, the grand total of divorces in this state for twenty years past will be 32,232. Comparing the number of marriages in the state duiing the past tive years with divorces, the latter were over 10 per cent of the marriages.

A Big Humbug,

“Papa’’ Woodworth, the husband of the trance evangelist, who is now detendent in divorce proce:dings instituted, by Mrs. Woodworth at Anderson, hias been doing some talkineg. He is bitter in his recriminating charges 'gaingt Mrs. Woodworth, and says of the trance business: *lt is the d—dst humbug on earth. My wife has made her whole stady. Ouat in California she came near being mobbed and was ran out of town for prophes\ing that the end of the world was nigh at hand, and that she could see Jesus and talk with him face to face. It’s all a humbug,but it is a great money-making scheme. Out of the seventy-live churches we have established all have voue to the devel but three—those at Kokumo, Anderson and Muncie. The whole business is a fraud She now has with her two young women whom ~he has thoroughly trained in the trance business. They have got it down pretty fine. One of them is very prepossessing in appearance, is as smart as a whip and can do the trance act whenever it suits her conveniene. My wife, too has improved wonderfully in speaking. She is now a fine talker, and can hold an audicnee speli-bound for hours.”” Mrs. Woodworth was a resident, of Syracuse, Kosciusko county, ! a few years ago. She has pitched her tent in a number of Northern Indiana towns and succeeded in bambooz ing a! surprisingly large number of people. |

Of Advantage to Both Sides.

The discussion of the proposed change to pay all officers a fixed salary whether they do any work or collect any fees, develops some queer arguments. 'l'ne Logansport Pharos, for example, says the new arrangement will be an advantage to the county officer, . because under it the uncertainties of the fee system will be eliminated and the official will know exactly what he isto get and will not overestimate his receipts and thus be enabled to live within his means. In other words if the clerk or sheriff faiis to eollect trom litigants his fees for sserying them, thmublic will be good for his salary!—Sullivan Democrat. ;

. DIED. At her home in the village of HawPatch, Jan 8,1891, Mrs. Mary (Coldren) Ritter, wife of Mr. Solomon Ritter, aged 57 years, 4 months and 26 days. ~ She was born in Delaware cumnty,‘ Ohio, August 7, 1833. Mrs. Ritter was one among the oldest settlers of the Haw-l’atcl;. ha‘}ing moved here with her parents in 1837. Her father, Harry Coldren, now deceased, was a very prominent citizen and successful farmer of the Haw-Patch. She was i the oldest of a large family of children, ’aud though deprived of many advantages consequent to the newness of the country in those early days, she was a | self-made woman, of strong mind and good ability, and wielded a large influence in the community. Several of her brothers have graduated from Hi isdale coliegze and gone out with honors. Among them is Rev. Milo J. Coldren, who for the past ten years has been a missionary in India, but is now in this country delivering lectures in the interest of the mission cause with marked success. In his trip there and retarn he assed around the globe. He was with his sister in her last i.lness. In 1860 she was married to her now |bereaved husband, Solomon Ritter. ‘They located on the farm, then a dense forest, and by industry aud frugality the cabin was replaced by the commodious dwelling, and the forest to fields of ripening grain. They resided op the farm until a few months before her death when they moved to the village that they might live near to and enjoy the privileges of the church which they dearly loved, and spend their days in rétirement from the arduous labors of the farm. But alas, how fleeting and uncertain are the hopes of earth. ‘Truly ‘‘in the midst of life we are 1n death.” She leaves a loved companion, five dear children and many other relatives and friends to mourn their loss, three children having preceeded her to the spirit land, but they mourn not as those who have ho hope. In childhood she was con verted and joined the Free Baptist church at Haw-Patch, and was an earnest christian and consistent member until her.death. She was a devoted companion, an affectionate n.other and a good and kind ncighbor, and was known only to be loved. Her home was one of contentment and happiness, and was always open to admi.ister to the comfort and happiness of all who came. She was a great worker in the church, and took deep interest in both home and foreign missionary work. For the past four years she has served as the honored president of the Free Baptist Womans' Missionary Society of LaGrange Q M., in which capacity she did a grand work. In her death the church and conimunity, as well as her family, sustained a great loss. Her disease was a cancer. For many weeks she was an intense sufferer, but she bore her afflictions with christian fortitude and was never heard to utter a word of complaint. She had many words of comfort for all who came, and as the end drew nigh she would often remark that she was “almost home.” She died in the full triumphs of the christian faith, surrounded by her family and other friends.

The funeral was held at the HawPatch church, Monday, Junuary sth, at 10 a. m., and was very largely attended. The deep sympathy shown and the tears in almost every eye showed how much the commanity loved her. The funeral services were conducted by the pastor of the HawPatch Free Baptist church, Rev. J. W. Rendel. Text: IL Tim. ii. 11-12. R.

At his home in Ligonier, Ind., Jan. 6. 190, Aaron Ogden, aged more than 88 years. ; , Mr. Ogden was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1802. He was married to Mary M. Hawkins, in Franklin, Ohio, n 1824. There 'was born to this union fifteen children, eight of whom survive him. He removed with his family to Noble county in 1842, and to lLigonicr in 1846, and was a resident here the remainder of his life. His wife died in 1854, and the following year he was ‘married to Mrs. H. Stites. - To this ‘union were born four children, three of whom still live. He was converted and joined the Methodist church in 1825, under the ministration of Rev. Augustine Alexander, who was pastor of Blendon Circuit Ohio. He remained faithfull 1o h:s early christian vows, and died a 3 he hived, in full assurance of perpetual day. ' His funeral took place from the Methodist church on Tuesday morning, the pastor, T. M. Guild, officiating. He rests well, having lived well. .

Right You Are, Joseph.

The Whitley county commissioners have render¢d their decision in the county clerk contest. They declare W. H. Magley entitled to the office, by two majority over Mr. Harrison. the democratic candidate. Thisresult was the object of the establishment of the democratic Times by Eli Brown, and now that Harrison’s defeat is accomplished, Brown bas sold his paper to a Republican syndicate ‘which proposes to *‘do up’” Mr. Baker, .of the old paper, the Commercial. The mission of the Times is evidently Yiratica]. and there’s but one way to deal with pirates. —Kendallville Sun. : ;g e e - We Pay Salary And expenses to Live Agents men or women. No drones wanted.

Additional Local.

—A number of our young men have! lately organized a club, to be known as the Ligonicr Social Club. The following ofticers have been elected: Herman Hirsh, Pres. ; Richard Deubler, Vice Pres.; Morris Hess, Secy. and Treas.; Ike Straus, Meyer Hess and Sam Sclig members of the executive committee. The committee upon constitution and by-laws are now engaged in framing the laws of the institution. A suite of rooms will be rented and fitted up in elegant style. This 1s certainly a move in the right direction and we hope to see the club made a permanent institution.. | —The citizéhs of Kendallville are just now realizing what a nice thing it i 3 to have a commodious and well appointed operi house under a wideawake liberal management. During the past winter a large number of first-class entertainments have been given and the patronage has been excellent. Ligonier needs a better opera house and needs it badly. We have ofien wondered why the owners of the City Hall block could not be prevailed upon to remodel the second and third stories of their building into an opera house. It would make a grand place of amusement.

—President John Newell says the Liake Shore road will within a year be a complete double-tracked road, and the cost of which will be paid entirely out of surplus net earnings remaining after the regular diyidends have been paid. When this work is completed the Lake Shore will have the lowest grade of any road to Chicago and will enable it to handle business at less perating expense than any other * trunk line. With an eighty-five ton locomotive Mr. Neweli says the Lake Shore will be able to haul fifteen more loaded cars in a train than any other road with a 100 ton locomotive.

—Harper’s Magazines for February will be remarkable for the number and excellence of its iilustrated articles. Among these there will be two papers on Finland, with twenty-four illustrations; an article by Bishop Hurst on *‘English Writers in India,”” with four illustrations; 'Theodore Child’s South American Paper, *Smyth's Channel and the Straight of Magellan,’”’ with fitteen illustrations; Charles Dudley Warner's ‘ “The Heart of the Desert,” with twelve illustrations; and twelve original drawings by W. M. Thackeray —now published for the first time—illustratiny ‘*The Heroic Adventures of M. Boudin.”’ - ; v

—lt is evident that Maryin Kuhns is most thoroughly feared by the authorities who have had him in charge since his arrest. At Fort Wayne his every movement was watched and when he was being taken from the jail to.the court house every stranger was thought to be a pal and every shadow an attempt to liberate the fellow. It is now reported from Tiffin, Ohio, where he now lies in jail that he is confined in a double steel-barred cell in the jail and surrounding this is a narrow cagze-like coridor, and beyond that two solid steel doors between him and liberty. In addition he is kept constantly under the eyes of two watchmen, and he can not so much as turn over in his cot at night that his every movement is not noted. And notwithstanding all this they now propose to make him wear an Oregon boot. The peculiar eflectiveness of this device is seen in the fact that the person. to whom it is attacked cannot move faster than a slow walk.

—The Columbia City Times has ceased to exist as a democratic paper under the management of Eli W. Brown, that gentleman bhaving sold the establishment to a syndicate of republicans, who are dissatistied because they could not dictate the policy of the Columbia City Commercial, the old established republican paper. This solution of the trouble of the democratic party in “Little Whitley’’' can but prove of lasting benefit to the party. Two papers of the same poliuecal faith can not be sustained in a town like Columbia City without causing trouble in the management and weakness to the organization. Now the Post has a clean field and the Republicans are getting into shape for a pretty fight { among themselves. The fellows whom the Commercial and John W. Baker have made, pohitically, will now do their best to tear him down. We will watch the fight from this distance, feeling that'it will not be long untit the eyes of the rank and file of the republican party in that county are opened to the outrageous ingratitude and mendacity of the promoters of the scheme to down the old Commercial. © .

—By an almost unanimous vote, the Union Sunday School decided to accept the invitation of the Presbyterian church to unite with them in the organizaticn of a Sabbath School in their church on the afternoon of January 4th, and to disband as an organization.: Quite a number spoke of the good which had been accomplished in the past and of the pleasant associations connected with the work. The school gave a hearty expression of their appreciation of the superintendent, J. H. Hoffman, and for his faithfulness throughout lits entire existence, and who was so largely responsible for its success. ‘l'his action was taken in view of the fact that the workers in this school had Lecome to so large an extent identified with this church organization as to seem to render a separate organization impractable and unnecessary.
