THE McKinley boom and the Indiana emergency are adyancing to wards each other on the same track at a rate which shows that one or both will surely be telescoped in the near future. ) :

Ex-GovErNOR CHASE will not find much consolation in the verdict of six years’ imprisonment rendered last week against John W. Paris, president of the defunct Greentown bank, Chase was a director and a paid solicitor for the same bank. ;

THE latest theory concerning the cause of the aurora borealis has been deduced from a careful analysis of that light thrown through a spectroscope. This unique experiment clearly establishes the fact that it is caused by an electrical discharge among the particles of meteoric iron dust eontained in the atmosphere, ’

ACCorRDING to the annual report issued the last of May the Salvation army is now established in: forty-twe countries. It has 1,997 corps, numbering 6,443 officers. 10,328 local offiers, and 3,331 bandsmen. The number of ‘‘soldiers’ is not stated, but “General’’ Booth claims that the army converts to Christiamity 200,000 people every, year. = o

- THE Massachusetts legislature has passed the Norwegian liquor law which will- enable any city which wishes to try such a new departure to do so by a vote of the people. It is a new departure, because it gives the control of the traffic to a corporation composed of men who wish to curtail its eyils and limits their .dividends to 5 per cent., the other profits to be used for charitable purposes: L

AN EASTERN paper says 1t is remarked that colored children 1n the ~ public schools of New York are usually quite as well dressed as almost any of the white pupils, and there seems to - be little or no disposition among ‘the latter to discriminate against their playmates of darker skin. The large percentage of foreign-born children in +these schools doubtless tends to diminish race prejudice against™ colored children, since most foreigners come to this country free from the prejudice inherited by Americans.

TeE Indianapolis News has established a subscription list, heading it by a one hundred dollar contribution, for the purpose of raising $B,OOO or more, with which to purchase a solid silver gervice or library for the United States battle ship Indiana, the most powerful vessel afloat, which is being rapid+ly pushed to completion. It is the custom- of states and cities being ‘honored by such a namesake to'present ‘some such token, and the eflorts of the News should be encouraged by liberal responses. It invites citizens all over the state to contribute. : '

" AT A RECENT meeting of the arch deaconry of the Protestant Episcopal * church in New York city, an interest- ' ing report was read and adopted, on ‘the subject of funerals. As epitomized by the Albany Times-Union, it recommended that the burial service ~should be read in the church, that ‘churches should be opened free for funerals, tg the use of brick graves and vaults should be discouraged, that ‘“‘earth to earth’’ coffins should be adopted, and that eyery thing practicable should be done to reduce the expenses of a funeral, whether of rich or poor. Bishop Potter thoroughly indorsed: the recommendations of the _report, and suggested that it should be printed and published in full. ADDRESSING & diocesan convention - at Smyrna, Del., recently, Bishop Coleman said: “‘lf I were to tell onehalf of what 1 know—actually know —of the covetous, miserly and yet prodigal way in which some people conduct themselves—covetous, miserly . in behalf of the church, prodigal, as tc the expense in their own behali—you would give me credit for great selfrestraint in what you might deem my most caustic words upon this theme. _The laity, can have but an Imperfect idea of the amount of subterfuge, deceit and downright lying practiced by many of their number in excusing 1 themselves from devoting a just share of their means, be they great or small, ‘ to even the vprimary work of their several parishes.” v I

THE gold exports last week were“ very heavy, New York and Boston sending out about $7,750,000. ~ But in the opinson of all the experts the turning of the tide is now near at hand, and the yellow metal will soon begin to return to us. Meantime the outward movement has alarmed nobody, because it has only legitimate trade conditions for its cause and reflected nothing of actual or anticipated unsoundness in:our finances. : THE prisoners in the Illinois penitentiary, have been set to work at manufacturing cigars among other things, The Chicago cigar-makers have entered a vigorous protest against this competition from contract labor, ‘but Governor Altgeld tells them that it will be stopped if they can suggest ‘work for the prisoners which will not affect free labor. ' They have not been able to make any suggestions. The St, Louis Republic ‘would solve the difficulty by using the proceeds of, the convict’s labor to support his family . outside the prison.

IN Russia an imperial decree ordains that army oflicers must, under certain circumstances, fight a duel, whether they wish to do so or not. A court of honor has been appointed, composed of military officers to decide whether a duel is necessary, and if it decides that an encounter must take place, any officer refusing to accept a challenge will be dismissed from the service. This arrangement, a contemtemporary says, may prevent some foolish duels, but it may also be the means of causing quite as many that, in the absence of the court of honor, would never be fought.

THE assassination of President Carnot is but another electric flash, as it were, from the great social stormcloud that now hangs so threateningly over the world. Those who complain of the injustice toward labor and the poor have little or no sympathy with anarchy and assassination, yet anarchy seizes all disturbances of the established order of things to get inits deadly and dastardly work, the amazement and horror of those in whose interest he pretends to act. Wisdom, patience, firmness, .firomptness and forbearance are all needed in dealing with the discontent that disturbs the social and political world.

THE theory that most criminals are illiterate and that education alone is a preyentive or cure of crime is not sustained by statistics. The report of the superintendent of prisons in.- New York shows that 3,304 convicts in the three penitentiaries of that state 352 are illiterate, 81 having a college education, 191 an academic education and 2,526 a common or public school education. The Indianapolis Journalsays this raises a question whether greater pains should not be taken to instill principles of honesty and virtue in public schcol pupils, and it also suggests that a great many youths who leave schoo! with sharpened wits, but without any trade or handicraft, drift from idleness into crime.

* Hon. CHAUNCEY DEPEW, in his recent admirable address before the University of Virginia, stated some E:things that are not at all: palatable to those members of his party who persist in keeping up sectional animosities. He declared that the time has come when ‘without prejudice or fear, with calm. judgment and commoén pride, we can extol ‘the genius and compare the merits of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, of Stonewall Jackson and General Sherman, and hail them as brothers 1n the free and open. guild of liberal education.”” He said further that ‘‘the times are ripe for a closer union and a more hiberal and catholic opinion of the people of every part of the Union towards each other.”

DELEGATE SANDERS, of Montana, read the Republican League convention at Depver a lecture which it evidently needed badly. The cheap politicians and perpetual candidates for anything, who made up the bulk. of the convention, howled their disapproval because President Cleveland had cabled the regret of the nation to the family of President Carnot.. They didn’t want Mr. Cleveland to speak for them. Mr. Sanders had the courage to tell the howlers that the' president, as president, represented every citizen of the United States, and declared that the republican party was in a bad way when it showed its lack of patriotism by - repudiating that principle. The rebuke silenced the silly yelpers. : :

These escape pipes are situated upoh the inside of the legs, above and below thes knee in the forelegs, and above the gambrel joints in the hind legs, but in the latter they are very small and funetions light; upon the inside of the foreleg they are, in a healthy hog, always active, so that the moisture is always there from about and below these orifices or duets in the healthy hog.

y ~ Death of Dr. Poyneer. Dr. G. W. Poyneer passed away ai Fort Wayne, Ind., June 27th. from congestion of the brain. l)eceasedi was born near Hudson, N, Y., 1n 18§26. When quite a young man he came west, locating at La Porte, where he was for several years supervisor of the Liake Shore road. In 1871 he entered into the practice of medicine at Fort Wayne, and at the time of his death was perhaps the best known physician in that city. He had been failing in health rapidly during the past year, and on Monday morning of last week he was found lying unconscious on a lounge in his oftice. He was removed to Hope hospital and his wife and son, L. H. Poyneer, of this city, were telegraphed for, but death came in about two hours after their arrival. -He was unconscious to the last, Interment took place at Goshen Friday afternoon, in Oak Ridge cemetery, where his son is buried. .

Important Court Decisions, . The Indiana Supreme Court has just decided that the failure of a bank will not excuse a school trustee from making good the loss of funds belonging to the school township; that where such trustee yoluntarily made up the money he had lost, the legislature cannot by statute legislate a tax upon the township to reimburse such - trustee. And a statute attempting to release the trustee and his bondsmen from liability on account of a judgment rendered against them for the lost money is unconstitutional as impairing the obligation of a contract. . It has also decided that a water company under contract with a city to furnish water for the extinguishment of fires is not liable to a citizen whose property was destroyed by fire. The appellate court has decided that where a school teacher had had a contract to teach for a definite period, she can_récover, although the school was closed during the period by the board of health on account of a contagious disease, such action not being the act of God. : -

‘i For False Pretenses. " On Thursday last Senator Vail, of Goshen, one of the counsel for the prosecution in the arson case against James Connor, went to Bengon township to examine witnesses and collect evidence to be used in the case. The examination was held in ’Squire Suively’s court and about a dozen persons were examined. During the examination points were developed on which a charge was made against Claus Thunander, well-known in that part of the county, of obtaining money under false pretenses. In September, 1892, the barn on the farm occupied by Thunander was destroyed by fire and later he collected msurance on a lot of wheat said to have been stored in the barn. He was paid for about 135 bushels of the grain, but it is now claimed that at the time of the fire the barn contained but fifteen bushels of wheat and a‘ small amount of oats. Several points were brought out in connection with a later: fire on the B. B. Green farm near the county line in which the same methods were alleged. Justice Snively, after considering -the evidence, bouund Thunander over to the circuit court, and he was tauken to Goshen. On Friday evening be was released on bail, B. B. Green and Josiah Kitson becoming his bondsmen in the sum of $3OO. The case will probably not be tried before the September term. -

Current Politics. - W. A, Glatte, the well known Kendallville attorney, was nominated for prosecutor at Fort'Wayne last Thursday. Mr. Glatte served for some time as deputy for Prosecutor Fleming and will doubtless make a strong fight for election. g

The democratic judicial convention for Noble and Steuben counties will be held at Waterloo tomorrow. It -is probable that John W. Baxter, the populist candidate for judge, will be endorsed by the Democrats as well as by the Prohibitionists. : The prediction made several weeks ago that Congressman Conn would be renominated without opposition was verified last week by the action of the convention at Plymouth. The Thirteenth district will doubtless re-elect Col. Conn by a good majority. The democratic judicial convention for the El¥nart-LaGrange circuit will be held in Millersburg in August. Indications now point to Hon. O. L. Ballou, of LaGrange, as the nominee for the bench. Eikhart county will yote as a unit for his nomination. Hon. E. V Bingham, ef Mishawaka, was nominated for judge of the La-Porte-St. Joseph circuit last week by a decisive majority over ex-Congressman Ford of South Bend. 'The convention was one of the most exciting ever held in that part of the state. Senator Bingham is an able lawyer and will make an exceptionally strong candidate, - .

J. D. Leighty, of DeKalb county, was selected as the republican candidate fo;; congress last Thursday on the fourth ballot. 'The convention was held at Fort Wayne and was well attended. Allen county had three candidates— Prof. Diedrich, Dr. Stemen and John W. Hayden, but the DeKalb 'statesman pulled through by a good majority. i : |

Inter-Urban Hectric Railways. 1t is apparent to the thoughqful observer that this conntry is in -a| transition state on ;the problem of {publictran§portatloi§. Every year our irunk lines of railway are increasing the size of their cars, engiares, bridges and the length of trains. The capagity of cars is fully doubls that of 25 years ago. Palace cars are also of colosgal size and weight. All these improvements are in the interes! of through |traffic. The enormous we.ght and great speed of modern railwsay trains are|all in favor of long runs and few stopg. This is so of every necessity. Such ponder‘ous weight makes frequent stops expensive and iwmpractical. In this country of magnificent distances and enormous rush of business, such trains and train service are but the legitimate outgrowth of the demand of the times. The transportation service between the larger cities of America is approximating perfection. New competitors continue to :avail themselyes |of the corporate privileges vouchsafed |by the doctrine 'of eminent domain.| Thus new lines continue to plow their way through the . farmers fallow 1 fields, groves and orchards. His life| plans are changed and revolutionizedl Millions are expended on the line, His fields and fencessoon conform to the new conditions. Presently the schedule of the regular train service is in full force and effect. .The thrifty farmer sees the iron monster flying past with its load of wheeled palace¢s and stock express. The magnificent sight of never-ceasing interest is a modern railway train. 0 But'what special benefit or adyantage 1n this service to the rural population? Though the cars may pass through his very door yard,| if he wishes to ride on them or ship his produce by them, he must perforce use his own animal power through heat or cold, over roads of sand or mud for five or six miles before he can get on the road of steel. ; | "Likewise the service of the smaller towns, located on the trunk lines, is not improving by all these efforts for quicker time between large . |cities. Naturally the gulf between the |trunk lines and the eommon people is| daily widening. - It appears to the writer thgt the mtet:fiurban system of electric railway will fill & much felt want. : Some system of cheap and |quick transportation from town to| town with frequent stops for the farmer and his produce is what is wanted. Light cars run with sufficient speed and frequency to accommodate reasonable wants will go very far toward establishing- closer social and business relation between all our citizens in both town and country. The class of service is bound to become popular, because 1t 18 in close touch with all classes. It is verily the people’'s service. ; : Take for {an example a first class line of electric railway covering the settled country between South Bend and Fort Wavne, taking in all the intervening towns, cities, lakes and parks. What more delightful contemplation than the numerous advantages of mail, express and passenger facilities to the farmer enroute, by an hourly service!: How the social life will be quickened! City entertainments and amusements are at once placed before the farmer and his family. In busy seasons or in stormy weather the housewife can easily and cheaply go and do her shopping without disturbing the farmer or his busy team.

- Lines like this are in operation in many places in Ohio and Pennsylvania and are reported to be very popular and profitable. Farm property increases in yalue wherever this service is inaugurated, because it stimulates home building all along. : - We hope to see northern Indiana covered with some such system in the near future. Farmers will saye their own interests by encouraging this modern improvement m every legitimate way.—Elkhart Review. » : Milk Test. * The foilowing premiums are offered for cows showing, by the Babcock test, the largest amouat of butter fat in their milk for four consecutive milk--Ings, the test to be made at the state fair grounds in Indianapolis, com~mencing Tuesday morning Sept. 18 First premium................ $5O 00 Becond premnium .. . ... .. 83000 +hivd premifom .. ... o GOOO ' .

Booming Candidates. 7 Paper read by J. E.~McDonald before the National Editorial Association at Asbury Park, N.J., July 2, 1894, : . It is with considerable misgiving that | I enter upon the discussion and consideration of such an important subject within the circumscribed -time allotted to these papers. The subjectis| too broad, its phases too numerous and its consideration too important to be disposed of so easily and quickly. . Two important divisions of the subject must be made before I can proceed —ante-convention booming of-a favorite candidate and post-convention consideration of his claims upon the support of his constituency. I will, consider the question from what seems to me the most important view—that of ‘undertaking to dictate the party-selec-tions by booming particular men for party preferment. Some newspaper ‘men are imbued with the idea that their mission is manifold. They not only conserve the morals, formulate what to them seem to be the rules of good society and enunciate the principles that govern their party;. but also choose the candidates. This assumption of right and exercise of power seems to me to be full of danger well worth our attention. The New York Light may vigorously and vociferously sound the praises and boom the candidacy of David B. Dale for the presidency, while the Indianapolis Guard with equal fervency abuses tHe candidate of the Light and booms a rival. Other newgspapers who echo these organs and catch the keynote are soon arrayed in solid phalanx and the presidential candidate is boomed from lake to gulf and from ocean to ocean. Public sentiment 18 aroused, the confiictin% interests are adjusted by the people in convention assembled, and what seems | to be the popular verdict is proclaimed. This rule and this line of action may be followed, but how far? The forces used in turning a national party to a political Moses become a dangerous factor when brought too near the counting room. In state politics the same course of action may apply. The party paper of one locality may with seeming propriety boom a candidate against other and remote parts of the same commonwealth, and one county and Its newspapers..may. with equal right show that its %rticular candidate for congress should be selected, with but little danger to local and business interests: Here we draw near the line that marks the danger point, and here it seems that we should carefuliy consider our responsibility and our moral obligations to our party, to our patrons and to the public, | In no sense should a local party paper become the organ of a faction or an individual, be he either the proprietor or a political leader. In no sense of fairness can any newspaper thaf eyen claims to be the recognized .organ of a party, either state or local, directly or indirectly dictate the selection of its party candidates. These are abstract propositions that seem to me |to be incontrovertible. The advocacy of principles must in my mind be diyorced from personality i@ the dicta- | tion of a candidate. The#'logical can- | didatg”’ being only a subterfuge, a delusion and a snare. No paper can affBrd to boom-a local candidate to the ‘detriment of other members of the | party who may be asking for the same | political preferment; I say cannot af{ford it, not only from a financial point | of view, but from a question of right. | We have no license to use the power | given us by the united support of our patrons to the detriment of the hum- | blest and weakest member of our or- | ganization, I'have neyer resigned my | right to indicate by my personal course -| such candidates as I might think should | be selected in party caucus, but neyer | by my editorial utterances have I un- | dertaken to dictate the selection of | particular candidates. In my opinion | nothing tends to weaken and neutral|ize the influence of a newspaper more than the impression that its methods | are dictatorial and that it is being con- | ducted in the interest of a particular individual or set of party manipulators. - The other part of this subject, that which comes within the province of every party newspaper, will bear | broader and more comprehensive attention. Here is where we all get together. excepting, however, the indi- | vidual who magnifies his own impor | tance and puts his judgment against ‘| that of a majority of his party by refusing to support a candidbte that may not be to his liking. Many a, good candidate, reputable man and deserv|ing party worker has been defeated at the polls because he did not get the support to which he was entitled from the disgruntled indiyidual who was ‘morally bound to boom his candidacy. But on the other hand the political | burial grounds are filled with the wrecks of disappointed ambition, brought about by the too enthusiastic booming of cardidates. So where are we to draw the line? When should we begin and how soon should we discontinue? My rule may not be a popular one with newspaper men in general, but I believe that the only way to advance the intere#ts of any candidate is to *‘tell the truth’”’ and teil it sparingly. o .

3 Another Snake Story. : There is much excitement amon the many excellent tarmers in Elkhar% bottom over an immense spake that is committing many ravages there.

Eye witnesses declare they have seen his snakeship elevate a pig of a. hundred pounds five or six feet in the air and run away with it so rapidly that the voice of the pig died away in the distance of five seconds. Many schemes are being invented to rid the commuonity of the marauder, to the ac-. complishment of which the genius of Sim Benner has now been invoked, our faith in whom gives us confidence that within the next few days, encompassed with ropes and tackles and upon suitable trucks the monster will ‘be hauled into town and we shall be enabled to give an accurate description of it.—Syracuse Register.

' ; Has Been Located. The Bourbon Munchausen’s whereabouts have been revealed by a telegram from Elwood, Ind., to a Chicago paper.
