. The Kendallville people have a way of appropriating a fair week that just suits their taste. This year they settled upon the last weok in September and other members of the field of fairs were invited to take what was left. Now they have selected the first week in October and notice is served upon other associations to that effect. This was always the week. of the Ligonier fair and its preemption by our neighbor on the east is just a little bit presumptuous. 4

We picked up a Chicago paper the other day and noticing several advertisements for. coopers we called the attention of a friend to the fact that some of our coopers who had been out of employment so long under the McKinley law might now get a job.

GOV MATTHEWS INLIGONIER:

Union Hall - Packed to Ov;rflowing——l‘he " Governor Given a Rousirg Reception —Many Republicans and Ladies in the Andlence'—-A Splendid Speech.

Last Thursday evening Ligonier was honored by a visit from Indiana’s popular and fearless chief executive, Hon. Claude Matthews. He arrived from Kendallville in the evening accompanied by David Hough, W, N. Showalter and J. E. McDonald who had been selected to escort the honored guest; Dr. A. S. Parker, of the "Kendallyilie News, John Adams of Columbia City, and D. kK. Ohlwine, of Kendallville, made up the party. At the station carriages were in waiting and the whole party. was driven to the beautiful home of Mayor and Mrs. S. J. Straus where a supper was tendered Governor Matthews by Col. Straus. Quite a number of democratic friends had been invited and all enjoyed the splendid repast set out in honor of the vigiting guests. . :

~ After supper the governor #was escorted to Union hsall where an immense crowd had assembled. Hon. E. B. Gerber introduced him as ‘‘the ‘model governor of Indiana’’. The audience was composed of representative citizens and for nearly two hours they listened to a plain, straight-forward discussion of political issues without any effort at oratory. The speaker said that the people had never entered upon a'political campaign which calls for more honest and careful thought and active inyestigation than the present one. He said that in the dis cussion of public quesiions it was his intention to deal fairly and justlv with himself and with his audience. ‘‘l do not desire in'my criticisms of the republican party, its leaders and its ‘principles, that it be taken that I am reflecting the least upon the personal integrity or the sincerity of the individuals who may compose that party.’’ he said. ‘I have learned that though we may differ on political issues,. each citizen is honest in his yiews, belong to what political party he may, and that when it comes to the question of good government, the supremacy of the law, the sacredness of our institutions, and the honor of our country, democrats and republicans alike march shoulder to shoulder in the cause.”’

In discussing the causes which were instrumental in producing the late tinancial panic the speaker stated that “‘the evils which have for thirty years been enroaching upon us, the evils under which labor groaned, individual industries drooped and died and manly competition withered and disappeared were the evils of the class legislation enacted by the republican party.” In speaking of the efforts of the republican politicians to fasten the recent financial panic upon the democratic party, he declared that a country like ours, with its wonderful resources and diversified interest, the evils resulting from vicious politics are uot immediately felt, but accumulate from year to year, until a crisis comes as it did appear last vear. ‘‘lf,”” he said, ‘‘this widespread depression was due to a fear of tariff laws being reformed, there could be no stronger argument against its weakness and the wrong ot a protectiye tariff than this, admitting as it does that the more than thirty years in which they have applied their protective theory has failed to place the industries of our country upthat basis capable of resisting a moderate change of conditions.” The governor gave a review of the national treasury under President Cleveland’s first administration and Harrison’s. administration, recalling the dissipation of the large surplus left by the democratic administration and the methods employed to make a showing for the republicans by deceptive bookkeeping, The result of such methods was a general weakening to public confidence which was the precursor of the financial panic. He dwelt some time upon the repeal of the force bill, the Sherman law, which he sail was maaquerading as a bimetallic measure, but had succeeded in foisting gold monometalism upon the country. “With this,”” he said, ‘‘silyer, which should hold its olden dignity as an honest money, has ceased to be degraded to a mére commodity,” In speaking of the new law enacted by the last congress to impose a tax on greenbacks he related some of his experiences as a member of the state board of tax commissioners, showing how taxes were evaded and that by virtue ot the new law more than $30,-

000,000 of sequestered property was placed upon the tax duplicate. The income tax law he regarded as a provision for more equitable distribution of the burdens of taxation.

" In the discussion of the sugar question he pointed out the inconsistency of the republicans about the high priced sugar. He quoted from the advertisement of J. L. Dunning offering sugar as cheap as under the old laws. Speaking of the gross injustice of the McKinley sugar bounty, he said: -'lt put into the pockets of 578 Louisiana planters last vear $11,247,889—an average of $19,000 each.”” The new tariff bill while confessing its imperfections, he regards as a step towards that larger commercial freedom toward which we are striying. “The remedy,” he said, ‘‘must come through the democratic party. It will do this in spite of republican opposition and the baser opposition of those within our own ranks, who, forgetful of the sacred promises made, and abandoning democratic principles, would place obstacles in the way or proye recreant to their trusts. It will strike them down without merey to a great cause.” In concluding his address the speaker recounted the many wholesome laws that have been enacted by our own democratic legislatures and the great good that has been wrought through the operation of these laws. He reviewed the tinancial condition of our state treasury, showing what republican profligacy had done, and what the wise management of democratic officials had accomplished. He recited the many wholesome laws that have been enacted for the amelioration’ of the condition of labor. The speech from beginning to end was characterized by that fairness and justness to all, which canunot but -be commended by a citizen of what ever political party. 2 ‘

New Lodge at Cromwell,

Last Tuesday evening a new Knights of Pythias .lodge was instituted at Cromwell of nearly thirty members after an all night session. Members of the order from all parts of northeastern Indiana were present, but ‘the lodges of Syracuse, Nappanee, Millersburg, North Webster, Ligonier,” Wolf Lake and Albion were largely represented, there being 300 knights in attendance. The Cromwell boys have a beautiful little lodge hall in the new Green.block but it was found wholly inadequate to take care of the crowd. At all times while the work was progressing the room was crowded almost to suffocation. An elegant.supper was furnished between 10:30 and 1:30 o’clock and if any of the members went away hungry it was their own fault. Nothing was left undone by the Cromwell boys to make the evening as pleasant to all of the visiting knights as possible and all are to be congratulated upon the manner in which the program was carried out. The work in instituting the new lodge was done under the direction of Deputy Grand Chancellor M. C. Pollock of this city.” He was assisted in the work by the various neighboring lodges, The officers of the new lodge are as follows: Sol Lung, Past Chancellor; Marion Moore, C. C.; C. L. Schlabaugh, V. C.; William Wright, Prelate; Milton Moore, M. E.; S. B. Tucker, M. F.; John Fitzpatrick, K. of R. & S.; Vernon Hussey, M. A.; Manford Morris, I. G.; Sherman Morris, O. G.; Smith Hull, W. B. McMeans and S. W. Green trustees.. The affairs of the lodge are in excellent hands and we hope to see the new organization prosper.

Mrs. Graves invites the ladies to call at her millinery emporium tomorrow. She can suit you at prices lower than those offered by outside concerns.
