The Figonier 3 ‘ ¢ Hinonier Bunuer, THE BANNER PUBLISHING COMPANY J.E,MoDONALD .Editor. THURSDAY. NOVEMBLR 21. 1895. TaAT excellent newspaper the Plymouth Democrat eelebrated its fortieth anniversary last week, A well written historical sketch of the paper from the pen of its present editor was a feature ot the publication. ; Every fad finds thousnnds%of yotaries in this country. One of the m st remarkable instances is that of the so-called ‘¢ Christian Scientista’ who are now said to haye three hundred incorperated churches in the Uaited States, There seems to be no ‘imit to human credulity. :

- A GREAT deal can happen between now and the presidential election, one year hence. Among; the possibilities, % the republican congress may commit some extravagances that will disgust the people or the republican national conyention may select a candidate whom the people do not want. 1t is therefore premature to assume that the next president will be a Republican. IN AN INTERVIEW at Washington last Saturday Hon. W. S. Holman, when asked who would be nominated for governor in Indiana, answered very promptly: *“‘The nominee will be either John B. Stoll of South Bend or ~Gil. Shanklin of Evansyille.” 1t is pretty safe to say that it will not be the latter gentleman who will lead the democratic hosts in Indiana 1n 1896.

A¥TER all the calamity howling and | talk of terrible things that have happened under the democratic adminis- " tration and Wilson tariff law, the past year has marked the beginning of a new era in the affairs of our little city. It was in the second year of the democratic administration- that Ligonier began to boom and we already feel the beneficient influences of the enterprises that have opensd in our midst. It will be yp hill work for the calamity howler to show that we have’ suffered to any appreciable extent. i THE official count in Kentucky gives“ Col. Bradley 152,907 and his opponent, Gen. Hardin, 149,704, In 1892 thel republican vote was 135,441 and the democratic 175,461. In 1888 Harrison’s vote was 155,134 and Clevelands’ 183,800. The Populist was nearly a third less than in 1892 and the prohibition vote only a little over one-half as large as in that year. The fact that Bradely carried the state with two thousand vyotes less than were polled for Gen. Harrison in. 1888 shows that the Ropublicans of Kentucky owe their recent triumph to stay-at-home Demograts.

. Gov. MAaTTHEWS had but three children, Rennick Seymour veing the only son and a child in whom Mr. and Mrs. Matthews took much pride. His ambition in life was to become a naturalist, and all during his illness books on natural history were on a tdble by the side of his bed. During the World’s Fair he was employed there. - Miss ‘Helen, a young girl now in boarding school, and Mrs. Cortez 'Ewing, of Grecnsburg, are the remaining two children of Mr. and Mrs. Matthews. Mrs. Matthews was a daughter of Governor snd United States Senator Whitcomb, in his dav the acknowledgd leader and idol of Indiana democracy. : Tuar Republican victory in Utah turns out to have been a Mormon triumph. An exchange says: The Republican party carried the election in Utah by the aid of the Mormon hierarchy, - and a heayy price was paid tor the party victory.. The Republicans of Utah elected a Mormon governor; they elected a Mormon secretary of state, a Mormon state auditor, a Mormon state treasurer, With the exception of the - two last.and least important offices on the state ticket—the attorney-general and the superintendent of public instruction—the Mormon church demanded and the republican party surrendered every state official. It is anything to win with the Republicans.

OuR farmers must look out for the Russian thistle which has done so much damage to agriculture in the Dakotas and Nebraska. Since some seed of this noxious weed were unfortunately imported in a lot of Haxseed about twenty years ago, it has overrun 40,000 square miles of land beyond the Misgissippi river. There is danger of its seed being brought ec¢ast and in fact a number of Russian thistles were found recently along the Lake Shore railroad east of Bryan. In ~many of the western stated” the legislatures have passed acts with a view to exterminate the weed and preventing its spreading and it is probable that the legislature of Indiana would have done likewise had it not been for the violent opposition of that farmer _statesman, Hon. Christ Holler, of South Bend. Professor L. H. Dewey, of the department of agriculture says: - **No Russian thistle should be allowed to produce seed and there must be concentrated action throughout all of the Infested area. It the Russian thistles, wherever found, should be killed before they produce seed. during three successive years the pest would “in all probability be completely exW L 5 y 3 ; E

IT LooKks as if the fight for the congressional nomination had been opened a little prematurely, but since the talk has been begun let it be free and untrammeled. THE BannNer will keep its readers informed as the discussion of the merits of the several candidates progresses. The democratic voters of the district will pick the right man at the right time and he will be triumphantly elected, The next cougressman from this district will be a Democrat. T e s s ST T THE terrible sorrow that has fallen upon the household of Governor Matthews has awakened the sympathetic thought of the whole state. Renick Seymour Matthews, in the prime of his young and promising manhood, has fallen before the grim reaper and the dark hours of sore bereavement are upon our worthy chief magistrate and his estimable wife. Only those who know the full measure of such a sorrow can fully sympathize with the bereaved parents in the loss of their only son.

CONCERNING the report that the recent earthquakes haye increased the flow of natural gas in the Indiana wells by sixty percent., Professor James F. Kent of Columbia College says: ‘A shock of earthquake, .cuch as that felt in Indiana recently, would amost of necessity so jar the limestone strata as to accelerate the escape of gas from its interstices and if that gas be able to maake his way through ‘the capping of shale, it must perforce come to the surface in oreater volume than before. You therefore see as I have said before, that the earthquake is responsible for the gas and not the gas for the earthquakes.”

SYMPATHY FOR CUBA. However finicky the politicians may be in dealing with the Cuban question, the great heart of the people beats in sympathy with the purpose of the Cuban patriots who are engaged in fighting for their independence. This is especially true of the south, where the Anglc-Saxon spirit is still true to its ideals of government by the people, of the people and for the people ‘There are no anglomaniacs here and very few Tories. These who sympathized with our British oppressors during the war of the revolution either took themselves off to more congenial climes or soon saw the error of their ways, so that the stain on their conduct has long been wasned out by the patriotism of their descendants, Toryism made itself heard in 1776, when the mercantile class in some ‘of the business centers protested against the declaration of independence, insisting that it would be '‘ruinous to our business interests.”’ Since that day *our business interests’” have been involked in behalf of many measures hurtful to the welfare and prospenty of the people. ; 5 In this instance, howeyer, all true Americans can sympathize with the struggling Cuban patriot and; boldly express their sympathy without affect ing ‘‘our business interests’’ in the slightest degree. The principle that is behind the Cnban reyolution is the same that was behind the American reyolution, and the main who was born in this country or who has found an asylum here does not deserve to be known as an American if hi§ sympa thies do not go out to the Cuban patriots who are fighting for their liberties.—Atlanta Constitution.

l Soldiers’ Home Opens January Ist. The trustees of the new soldiers’ home haye issued a bulletin, together with application blanks to ‘the 500 Grand Army of the Republic posts in the state announcing that Lhe home will be open for the reception of needy comrades Jan. ‘l. Post commanders are asked to see that those to enter the home and are eligible make application immediately. 'l'he first task will be to gather up all the veterans of the war who are confined in the almshouses of the counties. It is believed there are 200 or 300 of this class. This home will be open-to wives and widows of veterans. &f Farmers’ Institute. Arrangements are already being made for the farmers’ institute at Albion January 22 and 23 which promises to be more than interesting. Hon. Cal. Husselman of DeKalb county and Mrs. W, W. Stevens of Washington county will be the principal speakers. Several other interesting papers will be presented. These institutes are well worth attending. Prof. W. C. Latta of Purdue well known here and who has the general ma.ntgement. says it is the desire to ‘cond, ct the work in such a way as to ‘make it in the highest degree helpful }to the farming classes, by imparting ‘useful information. by inciting to greater effort and awakening a higher appreciation of the adyantages and possibilities of rural life.

‘ Pertinently and Pointedly Put. ‘T'o the Editor of the Fort Wayne Journal, In your issue of Noyember 15 you produce articles from the Noble County Democrat in reference to aspirants for congressional honors and head said articles, ‘‘Nobody but J. M. Robinson in Noble county.’”” The facts are, the voters have given no expression as to who their choice may be, excepting the editor of the Noble County Democrat. There are about 3,000 more Democrats to hear from and it is not fair to say that because one man favors the candidacy of a certain person all must shout for the same man. The time when one newspaper makes selections for a great party, regardless of the voters, is happily past and gone. Wait until we have primaries for the selection of congressional delegates, then you will know how Noble county stands. A candidate thus chosen will command the entire vote of the party, while a candidate chosen by the bosses 'will surely meet with defeat as he deserves to. Yours very truly, ol : S. Baum.

' Of Goshen Construction. The Mier buggy factory at Ligonier has the distinction of being a Goshen product all but the water and sand used in its construction, which proves Ligonier knows a good thing when she sees it. The Bottenfelt Bros. did the brick work, George Michaels did the carpentry, the mew Goshen Pulley Company furnished the shafting and belting, Wesley Larimer did the stone work, Manrow & Son did the galvanized work, and Louis Leidner did the painting and it is but just to say Ligonier footed the bill as she is fully competent todo for whateyer she orders.—Goshen News. ~ Obituaary Mary Ann Claicomb was born in ,Jay county, Indiana, July 26. 1859; was married to John N. Hite, October 18, 1881 and died Noyember 12, 1895, aged 36 years, 3 months and 17 days. She leayes a husband, one daughter, four brothers and two sisters, one sister and brother being present when she departed this life. She bid them all good-bye asking them to meet her in Heaven. She told her friends that her peace was made with God and was ready and waiting for the Lord to end her sufferings. The funeral services were conducted at the Salem church by Rev. G. F. Byrer, of Ligonier.

: Its Mission the Samae. Sycamore hall, for many years a popular and far famed hall, the home. of the Sycamore Literary society, is being remroved to l'opeka, where the building will be refitted and remodel?i into an opera house. This will remove one of the most noted country meeting placesin the State. —LIGONIER BANNER. The above is yery flattering of the society and of its success in the past; but it is not just correct as to the future of the hail, The Sycamore Literary society is just moving its headquarters to Topeka, partly at the earnest solicitation of the town and the community and partly because of a supposed benefit to the society. The hall will not be ‘‘refitted and remodeled into an opera house'’ any more than it ‘has been 1n the past. It will be owned and occupied by the Sycamore Literary society. and will still be known as the Sycamore hall. The society expects great adyantages from the Topeka graded schools and to be of great help to the school, The society has a history that it need not be ashamed of and it hopes bv thischange to be equally successful 1n the future. If weather permits the new home of the society will be ready for a good winter’s session where it will be anxious to welcome its frieads.—J. N. Babcock in LaGrange Standard. k Congressional Gossip. Considerable interest is being felt in loce:?ncircles as to who is likely to be the next democratic nominee for cont gress in this district, It is quite generally understood that the nomination ‘will be conceded to Allen county for it is now eight years since the banner county has had the candidate. . For this reason the crop of candidates promizes to be large and of excellent quality. A reporter for the Evening Post' circulated a little among the faithful during the past week with his ears open and his mouth shut. He gathered some points that may inter est the public. First on the list of those looking for congressional honors is James Robinson, the ex prosecuting attorney. Mr. Robinson has had his eye on the nomination for a number of years and has been driving a nail and setting up a pin wherever and whenever there seemed a possibility of strengthening himselt. lie was a candidate against Mr., McNagny four years ago. but failed the nomination. Since that time, however, ‘‘Jim’' has been keeping his lamp trimmed and burning and has an abiding faith that when the time comes it will be demonstrated that ‘‘everybody’’ is for Robinson. Jim is an all around hustler and popular with the boys, A few weeks ago that most excellent citizen Mr. Perry A. Randall, was understood to be a candidate, but more recently his name has been used quite universally in connection with the mayoralty of the city. 1f the persuasion of men of all parties should end in Mr, Randall’s deciding not to be a candidate for congress it is likely that Mr. Sam Foster will take his place. There will be no contest between Mr. FKoster and Mr. Randall. There is a perfect understanding between them and neither will be a candidate against the other. When it comes to settling the matter Mr. Randall will be accorded first choice. In fact Mr. Foster does not hesitate to say that if Mr. Randall is a candidate he will not be. Mr. Foster will enter the race and throw into the preliminary campaign all the energy and vigor that s characteristic of him. f Another gentleman who has it in mind to shy his castor into the ring is Judge S. M. Hench. 'The judge has not yet publicly announced himself.l but he is quietly working among his friends one of whom said to the re-| porter: ‘‘You can rely upon it Hench is a candidate.”” The judge carries a very long pole and the persimmon in' the past has not often been out of his ' reach. Few men have been more uni-l versally successful in getting what they went after than Judge Hench, ' Here, then, we have three candidates sure —Robinson, Hench and | either Randall or Foster. Of these' Judge Hench will represent free silver and will probably make an aggressive ‘campaign on this issue. On the other hand both Mr. Randalkand Mr. Foster ’are “hard money’’ men; that is to say ‘they are opposed to the United States, }lttemptmg free coinage unaided by other nations. Mr. Robinson, mean‘while. dosen’t say much on either side of the question, but keeps on sawing wood day in and day out. l Altogether the race for the next nomination bids fair to be an interesting one.—Fort Wayne Post.

Pag Golden Wedding. - | | -~ We regeived too late for publication . last week an account of the weddgng | anniyersary ot Mr. and Mrs. Jagob - Franks which was celebrated on Mpnday, Noyember 11. Mr. and m;)rs. Franks were married in Wayne county, Ohio, in 1845, fifty years ago. They haye resided in Ligonier since 1865. Quite a number of relatives and friends were present at the golden wedding and the presents received by the estimable old people were numerous and valuable. : |

: Who is Strong ? I The Goshen News says: Wednesday night a Ligonier stonecutter named Strong coming from Elkhart to Goshen on a freight and being a stranger thought he had reached |the town just west of the Elkhart river bridge and jumped off. He discovered his error and started to foot it to t?wn but when on the bridge another freight came following after and in 'his hurry fel through the bridge into the river with no more injury than a clever wetting down and through to the skin. Who 18 Strong? e ; Big Enough for the Place. P. A. Randall. of Fort Wayne, was in town a short time last evening. | He no doubt came on other business, but his appearance here at this time, naturally enough sets the prognosticators to guessing that he is ‘‘feeling the public pulse’’ on congressional matters and there is nothing wrong about it even if he has his ‘*weather eye’’ turned in that direction. He was a Npble county boy and big enough for| the place and has many friends here who would take great pride in seeing him advanced in that direction. and| no doubt his chances are good unless some Noble county or Kendadlyille man wants the honor; and possibly then his friends might feel like contesting the point,—Kendallville Sun. |

A Funny Play. B + The coming engagement of [Ezra Kendall's Pair of Kids at Union hall promises to be the langhing event of the season. Eyery one: is anxious to see how the funny old man rums a mile in 2:01} on the revolving treadmill. He bas been doing it for 10 years. So there is every reason to believe be has it down ‘‘pat,” so to speak. The resitaurant scene in: the Kids is said to be one continuous string offfun and pantomime tricks; the **Old Jay” of course, rung the restaurant and just the thoughts of that back woods hay seed country ‘‘Jay” running a city restaurant ‘his way”’ is enough to make one laugh. There is plenty of new music in the show. At Union hall, Saturday eyening Noy. 30. ; Ministers’ Meeting. At a ministers’ mpeting held Monday morning, Noy. 18, Rabbi Eppstein in the chair, it was decided to hold Thanksgiying services at the Prpsbyterian church, Thursday, Nov. 28, in accordance with the president’s proclamation. The services will begin at 10:30 a. m. and the Rev. J, A. Beatty pastor ot the M. E. churclflywill preach the sermon. It is earnestly desired that a large number of the| oitizens of the town and vyicinity will be in attendance. g | On motion it was also dccided | that the ministers representing the various churches of the town, kindly request the business men of the town to |close their respective houses of business at least from 10 a. m. till 2 p. m.

: A Dastardly Act.} _ A highly respectable young lady of Goshen is said to have undergone an experience near New Paris recently that will make solitary bicycle trips unpopular. The young lady in question was riding a bicycle into New Paris where she intended to spend the evening with a triend. -As she neared the town she was approached from vehind by a man whom she describes as being about six feet tall*nd with full beard and wearing a light colored overcoat. The fellow accosted her and then jumping from his wheel, seized the frightened woman and by force and threats compelled her to submit to a fiendish lust, after which he rode rapidly away in the darkness. The young lady was crazed with terror and made her way to the house of ‘a friend where she told what had occured in. broken sentences. The officers were not notified until too late to get any clue to the miscreant.
