‘Tug Indianapolis Journal is -trying to hedge upon the outcome ot the local election and endeavors to convince ils readers that the election of Taggart has no political significance.

Tae great demand for labor in big factory towns is strikingly evidenced by the statement which comes from Fall River, Mass., that there is work enough in that city for all of the 1,500 operators thrown out of employment by the fire at Warren. R. I, and that in less than five nours after they were all set at work. there would be a demand for more. -

“PRIOR to the Indianapolis election” says the Lafayette Journal, ‘‘we were told by the protection organs that the result of the contest would have a national significance. Now that the whole republican outfit has been repudiated by the people of Indianapolis these same organs pipe that it was only a little, inconsequential affair. All the same a republican victory at Indianapolis would have given a national importance to the result. Republiean logic 18 always manufactured to tit the case.”’

TaE growing importance of Cleve

land as a railway and commercial city - is shown by the fact that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is to spend a million dollars in improving its terminal there, In 1890 the population of Cleveland was 261,358, while that of Cincinnati was 296,908, but it is claimed that Cleveltind now exceeds Cincinnati in population and has become the leading Ohio eity. This will probably be proved by the next census unless Cincinnati ~ experiénces a marked growth within the next four years, Another growing city in Ohio is Toledo. It has grown wonderfully during the past thirty years. :

SPEAKING of a pertinent and seasomable subject that excellent journal, Newpaperdom, says: ‘“l'he true policy fer a newspaper ig to treat its contemporaries with respect, even if they do not deserye it. An editor must think of his own paper. When he attempts to castigate a rival, he lashes himself far more severely. The public has nothing but contempt for the editor who allows himself to make war upon a rival in his own columns, and itis a practice that richly deserves all the contempt the public bestows. It is yery often extremely hard to restrain the biting pén, yet the reward comes when, in hours of sanity and good temper, one can go oyer the files without wishing a Russian press censor could be turned loose upon them.”

JoHN SHERMAN says in an interview that the republican majority in Ohio will be between 50,000 and 60,000 and that the legislature will also be republican. He admits. however, that much depends upon the outcome in Hamilton county (Cincinnati) as to the political complexion of the next legislature. There is a good deal of kicking'against the ticket thrust upon the’ Cincinnati Republicans by Boss Cox, who rules the politics of Hamilton county with an iron hand. An independent legislative ticket has been put in the field in that county made up ot unobjectionable candidates from both the democratic and republican tickets—mostly from the former, If this ticket polls as larze a yote as 1s expected a mujority of the senators and representatives from Hamilton county will be democratic.

The New Albany (N. Y.) Timesunion has the following in ity editorial columns. *“‘Hon. John B. Stoll, editor of the South Bend Times, is spoken of in the Indiana papers as likely to be the next democratic nominee for governor of thut state. The Shelbyville Democrat says: ‘John B. Stoll is one of the brainiest men in the state and speaks German with force and eloquence.” As there is a large Ger: man population in Indiana. the last mentioned accomplishment must be useful to a candidate, Mr. Stoll is certainly a yvery judicious and able editor| and an earnest Demoerat; and he enjoys tho personal estcem of news-

paper men of all parties. His recent address at the annual meeting of the Indiana Press association was much commended. We shall hope some day to greet him as Goyernor Stoll.”

"ARIZONA, New Mexico and Oklahoma yearn . for stutechood. The growth of Oklahoma bas been phenomenal, Governor Renfrew in his _ report to the secretary of the interior, makes the assertion that Oklahoma “bas a population of 275,000, but the chances are that the census has been swelled a little or has been manipu. lated %by gentlemen who migrated from Chicago, where according to St. Louis count, they see double. The governor is enthusiastic in relating the official story of the baby's success. The territory is peopled by Americans and as Americans were neyer known ~ to be remarkably slow, the Okalahoma - boomers will dontinue to knock at - Uncle Sam’s door until 1t is opened or ‘s panel gives way. They are proud of their new home, and as the taxable valuation of their property is fixed at over $39,000,000 it is evident that their e g L RAR S SRR e(5 T B T R Re (M

' THE notion that public sentiment is healthier and that there is less guile in politics in the country towns than in the large cities gets no support from the Chicago Times-Herald, which asserts that the rural political machine can give pointers to the city machine in the manipulation of a convention or a caucus. The Chicago paper which must haye had Ligonier and like cities in view says: ‘lt is safe to say that in eyery town and city in Ilhnois there exists a political ring, organized for plunder, much more de-

moralizing in its effects than the rings in the big cities, because of the greater possibilities for perpetuating gupremacy through the cajolery of the unsuspecting constituents who yield easily to the schemes of the gangster because he is a ‘good fellow’ or a ‘good neighbor.” "’ :

AT THE Lubeck congress of German. physicians, Dr. Behring read a paper‘ in which he asserted ihat his antitoxine treatment of diphtheria has continued to be most successful. Mortality has decreased in all hospitals where anti-toxine isused. In Germany alone im"the last year he estimates the lives of one thousand children -haye been sayed by its use, The mortality in cases of diphtheria will ultimately be reduced, he thinks, to five per cent. He is of the opinion that it is time to begin a general inoculatioa of children with the serum as a preventive. It is possible to manufacture serum of such strength that the injection of i.only half a cubic centimetre suffices to give complete immunity to children who are not already attacked. The whole world is deeply interested in any development that tends to lessen the death rate from diphtheria. -

THE editor of the Waterloo Press is inconsolable since the Indianapolis election. Notwithstanding the heavy editorials hurled at the voters of the capital city through the columns of the Press Tom Taggart had nearly 4,000 majority. . After the election the Press indulges in the following: ““The election of Tom Taggart as mayor of Indianapolis, means a wide open town. That is the understanding with gamblers, saloonists, and all those in sympathy with their class. It is a calamily to good government and a reflection on the intelligence, patriotism and good citizenship of Indianapolis.”” This in face of the fact that Mayor Taggart has ordered the enforcement of the law. But withal what a confession- by the Press that the best Republicans in the city are sympathizers with lawlessness, and on the other hand what @ pharisaical and hypocritical assumption that the other fellows are all in sympathy with a wideopen condition of affairs. :

Mrs. Patience R. Welsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Parker, was born Noyember 14, 1824, and died at the home of her daughter Mrs A. J Weir in Ligonier, Indiana, October 15, 1895, aged 70 years, 11'months and 1 day. She was clearly and happily converted to God and ideutitied herself with the chureh fifty-two years ago. In the year following she’ was united in marriage to her now bereaved husband, Rev. J. W. Welsh of the North Indiana Annual Conference, In 1851 she en tered with her husband upon the work of the itinerant ministry of the Metho-’ dist Episcopal church. They seryed together the charges of ' Hamilton, Allen, Auburn and New " Paris; and then followed a period of superannuation, then a pastorate at LaGrange, then a second superannuation. Next they served Auburn, Pierceton, Warsaw district, Anderson, reeniield, Winchester, ‘Knightstown and Portland. Through affliction which readered moving and housekeeping impossible, she was led to make her home with her dauchter while her husband has been serving charges at Fort Wavne and Hudson and Ashley. To one who was thoroughly domestic and strongly attached to home and friends the place of an itinerant’s wife was excessiyely trying. ‘The excessive demands of the churcb and of society that the minister’s wife shall maintain. ‘a home that is a model of neatness and shall rear her children as model children, and at the same time attend all the general and special services of the church, take an active part in all the benevolent societies, receive ani return society calls, vigit the sick, comfort the sorrowing and join with her husband in genera! pastoral work, is a burden under which the timid are very greatly harassed, and even the strongest are almost sure to become broken in health if indeed they are not brought to an untimely death. Sister Welsh was one of the timid ones upon whom the cares and burdens of an itinerant life bore more heavily that it did upon those less timid. The breaking up [from time to time of her home lite: the severing of old ties, the forming of new acquaintances, werenot in accord with her natural tastes. lln fact these are not in accord with the natural instincts of motherhood and womanhood. And yet for her husband’s sake, to whom she was devoted, for the sake of the church which she loved, and for Christ’s sake to whom_ she -had early consecrated her heart and life, she entered cheerfully into an itinerant life and went-about doing good, Her faith was clear and unwavering, her devo‘tion simple and con‘ﬁdinlg,_ her outward life was pure and spotless. Quietly, peacefully, trustingly and in the full assurance of faith she stepped into the chariot of Israel's God and was borne away to her home in the skies and there awaits our ceming. L Beside her husband she leaves to ‘mourn her loss two danghters aud one son —Mrs. Ar J. Weir, Mrs. A. E. Hoagland and Mr. C. W, Welsh. This is the first break in the family circle. May they all be reunited in the ‘‘sweet :{ and by.”’ Sister Welsh will be kindly remembered by the hundreds of Kwp’iﬁﬁith ‘whom she and her husband have been identified in their church work s B A Kmme.,

PIONEER PLANT.

The Ligonier Carriage Co.’s Works.~A Fine Building, and a Big Concern.

A Credit to Its Proprietors, to Ligonier, to Noble County and to the State

For many years Ligonier has been known far and near ag the big buggy manufacturing cenire. Ligonier buggies have been sold in all parts of the country by men, who notwithstanding their claims to hail from this locality never even visited the city, and thousands of vehicles manufactured 1n other cities have been palmed off as home made and true blue productions offour factories. The reason for this is obvious. The Lagonier buggy has been popular and serviceable. k& has met the requrements of the times and conditions of trade. It has been honestly built and sold at a margin that would put it in the hands of the consumer at the least possible cost. In fact it has been the buggy that has supplied the popular demand. For the reputation of the Liconier buggy; for the successful demonstration that buggies can ‘be built at a profit in Ligonier; for the illustration .of what close attention to details and a comprehensive idea of what the people want and will buy, and for the success of buggy building in Ligonier the Ligonier Carrisge Company and Mr. J. L. Graham, the founder of the business, are alove entitled to the credit. They are the pioueers in this class of work in this part of the state and their success -has only been circumseribed by ther capacity to turn out: honest work and popular styles. In 1866 J. L.. Graham, the President of the Ligonier (’Jarriage Company. came to Ligonier a small boy but eleven years of age. His father was a wagon maker by trade and the young man early showed an aptitude for this kind of work. In 1873 he started in business tor -himself on -the corner of First and Cavin streets, building but very few yehicles during the first year but doing a large amount of repair work. He gradualy increased his business, however, adding men and energy to the work until his buggiezx were known. far and near, - For nearly ‘twenly years Mr. Graham continued in business without any change in the management, haying charge of every detail of the business, but in 1892, feeling that more could be accomplished if the capital of the concern could be doubled, entered into a partnership with S. J. Straus, Ike Straus and Ave Goldsmith, the firm being incorporated under the name of the Ligonier Carringe Company with a capital of $20,000. Mr. Graham was at once elected president of the new company and he has had the active management of the manufacturing department upon his hands ever since. The other officers of the Ligonier Carriage Co. are now as then, Vice-Presi—-dent, S. J. Straus; Treasurer. Ike Straus; Secretary, Abe Goldsmith, and each is well titted for the work at hand in the mdnagement of the affairs of the company. = : Immediately upon the formation of the new company ground was broken Jor a big addition to the works, the capacity being more than doubled. As the business increased,however, it was again found necessary to either build more room or rent when the latter alternative was accepted and two large business’ rooms in the immediate vicinity -of the plant were secured for ‘ware rooms, Still the room was not adequate and early last spring realizing that something had to be done the company began _to cast about for a ‘new location. Seyeral buildings were considered and an entirely new plant was at one time settled upon, but after some weeks it was decided to again add to the original plant and the lot upon the north was purchased. The big building that now adorns this piece of ground with 56 feet frontage Miﬁ&wam of the W“‘*‘*‘i

n operation in the state. Although the floor space 18 not in one building it ' is so arranged as to give the best possible results. The floor space occupied by the works amounts to nearly 50,000 square feet giving plenty of room for the present requirements of the plant, but the firm has taken time by the forelock having purchased a lot adjoining where they can drect alarpEer building if their trade continues to increase with such marked strides as: it has in the past. : 2 The plant of the Ligonier Carriage Co. is indeed a credit to Ligonier and Noble county. It is the pioneer estjb;bment of its kind in the county and has been built up at only the expense | of its stockholders, they having never asked for, nor have they received *.ny' help from the citizens nor concessipns from the city. It is no disparagement to other institutions of the kind in this part of the state to say that none lare better managed; none with beiter facilities to handle this work; none ‘that can turn out more jobs in a short itime and none with a better reputati‘ion }for ‘honest and substantial vehi¢les

than the Ligonier Carriage Co. These people are in the business to stay and they propose to make a lasting reputation in this, that they Five an honest dollar’s worth for Ibhe money. . The management has always been ready to take adyantage of any new styles that are brought out. but in the past few years have had a most flattering trade in buggies and surries bhilt after ideas of their own. They nse only the best of stock in the construetion of their jobs, and in buying use their., judgment and ‘experience | in picking out what will best suit the rade. Mr. Graham, with his long years of experience, is in touch with he details of the work while the other members of the firm have such ;geu eptions a 8 to know what is best for|

the trade. In fact, we are of the opinion that this firm is one of the best: equipped and best managed in the country and their can be no doubt about their continued success i this line as they are all men of wide experience and have always had the reputation of being up with the procession. In fact they always léad and neyer follow.

So far one of the most popular products of this establishment has been their light canopy top Daisy Phaeton known as No. 100 of which they have turned out tripple the number they expected to during the year. In fact they found it almost impossible to fill their orders tor this buggy, but their No. 150, single top buggy, fancy trimmed, seemed to have captured the trade whieh is evident by the many flattering testimonials received from their customers during the year. Their salesman, Mr. Geo. W. Maxwell, found it no trouble to sell these buggies and the duplicate ordersreceiyed were such that he had %6 leave the road after but a few weeks absence from home. This is one of the best built, popular priced

vehicles of its kind on the market and it is deservedly popular for in Its construction only the best material 1s used and great care is exacted ‘in the workmanship., Tt is & well known fact that in both straight bottom and cut under surries the Ligonier Carriage Company isin the lead. These vehicles are beautitully proportioned, splendidly finished and built very light so as to be especially adapted to use with one horse, buils upon single leaf Armstrong springs if desired. Nearly one half of the jobs turned out by the Ligonier Carriage Co. last year were of this popular pattern of surries. They could not be manufactured as rapidly as ordered and one time during the latter gar«t‘ of the -season of 1895 they were 00 behind their orders for surries |

For the season of 1896, having compietely reorganized their force of men and having been so fortunate as to secure first class workmen for all of the departments, it 18 safe to say that they will improve upon the work of former years in a manner that will be most satisfactory and gratifying to their trade. They are in‘/shape now to supply their customers on receipt of orders. ﬂ

The management of the business isl 8o divided as to give each member cfl the firm enough to take up a good share of his time. Mr. Graham, whose long experience especially fits him for the work has charge of the mechanical departments and all of the men are under his indiyidual supervision. He also gives close attention to details in purchasing material and stock. fully appreciating the wants and needs of the big establishment. Mayor Straus who is vice president also give, considerable personal attention to the business, as does Abe Goldsmith, the secretary, but these gentlemen look after the affairs of the office and financial matter more especially. Mr. lke

Straus, ' the treasurer gives a great deal of his time and energy to the work, He is associated more -closely with Mr. Grabham than the other members of the firm and he has an aptitude for the 'business that especfally fits bim for the tagk. Mr. Straus is a conseryative and level headed business man with ripe experience for one of his years and his close attention to matters connected with the -work is, to a large measure, the secret of the success of the bhusiness. Mr. Graham finds him an able and actiye lieutenant while the other stockholders pre excellentaids, ~ . The firm was most fortunate in securing the services of Mr, Geo W. Maxwell of Churubusco. Indisna, as superintenident of sales. He is a hustler mmhwm;emm

a complete knowledge of the requirements of his position. He was able to control a large business last year, in fact he sold the output of the old plant so rapidly as to compel him to leave the road early in the yéarﬁi‘ﬂis orders came in 8o fast that they eduld not be fiiled and having sold every job that could be delivered be took an early vacation. Mr. Maxwell is a quiet, unassuming and ‘excellent gentleman, whom we will all welcome to Ligonier in the near. future. : - In the reorganization of their force the services of H. S. Menaugh, of
