dhe Finonier Banner, THE BANNER PUBLISHING COMPANY J.E.MeDONALD EZditor. = - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1897." In THE death of Capt. J. B White, ~gx-congressmean, Fort Wayne and the State lose an éxcellent citizen. He was a public-spirited man, always awake to the interests of his community. ‘He had many warm friends in this county in/both parties. . ' :

1r THE Republicans insist on attrib~ uting the present satisfactory price of wheat to the Dingley tariff measure ot course they. will also hold that measuTe responsible for the low price of clover seed and hay. " Itls indeed & poor rule thAt won't work both ways.. :

e Elkhart Review thomght it'saw sgmething which appeared to be cfooked in the management of public affairs -under Mayor Taggart at Indjanapolis. ‘'We should think that the " range of vision of the editor might be shortened, for he has certainly over-1 " looked conditions In_his own county that are real and not imaginary. Cast the mote from thine own eye, neighbeE - - : : é THE Demoocrats and Liberal Repub- ' licans have agreé¢d upon a diyision of { the candidates in Hamilton county and gi(]incinnati, and 1t is presumed that-all the anti-Hannaite yotes will be cast for g'the’ticket;‘ It the party manugers are g;left alone until. election day, there is ||some chance. that the arrangement g may ‘be & success, but we are a.fratid]l és?ﬁbat_mnk-’s money will be too potent{i g'hrfe&tf\':re. . el St s |

A REPUBLICAN farmer ‘'who had nq wheat to gell, but who brought a lot of cloyer seed to market, remarked ‘the other day that he could not understand thé prosperity, business: - He found that under-the/ Dingley law he was compelled to sell his seed for less ‘than $3 a bushel, whijle he got mnearly twice as much under the'Wilson law. If protection makes the high price of wheat, jt is likewise accountable for the low price of clover seed, but we fall ‘to see how it can be given the eredit of either. : e

THE foolkiller could . find plenty.to do down in Ohie these days- 1t looks as 1f the chances of derhoeratic success had about gone glimmering, and all on gccount of hot-headedness and bullheadedness upon the part of conflictmng interefts: 1t might haye been good politics f£o have elected a democratic legirlature and. then to have settled the personel jealousies, but it seems the fights are all to be made before the election, which certainly insures defeat. Hanna’s luek seems to be with him again this year. : :

THE overwhelming defeat of Newt Haiding for mayor at ‘lndianapolis last Tuesday closcd one of the dirtiest and meanest eampaigns ever waged in the State.** It was a fitting finale to a contest full of mud slinging and persopal abuse. Mr, Taggart: was roundly abused, maiigned and: traduced by men hke Joe Kealing, and every a‘dvautage taken ot things for which the administration was in no w.y acccuntable. But the yoters were vot fuvled. . The fact that Mr. Taggart ‘hus oyer 5000 more yotes than his leading competitor is good evidence that the people are not influenced by abuse of a candidate. It don’t pay, and the sooner - peanut. politicians realizeit the better. = - oot

THE Laporte Argus teminds the republican press that a year or two ago when gold was scarce and bonds had to be sold to keep gold in the. - ireasury, because of the financial scare, the 'republican press generally said the trouble'all came from the fact that the - receipts from the tariff did not meet the expenses, and all that was needed was & higher tariff. That, they said, *would bring plenty of revenue and ~ with it there would be plenty. of gold. They got the higher tariff and the . gold in the treasury has increased, " but the reyvenue receipts have dimin:l ished, and. from| present indicaticrnsi the revenue will not meet the expenéi - ses this year by from fifty to seventy- - five millions. This completely refutes! the claim that the lack of reyenue was the cause of the scarcity of gold and it should be explained by the- republi'} can press. It must be that the “expenses of the government are beingl ~ met with the surplus turned oyer byl the Cleveland administration. 1 THE expectation that the old custom J -of distributing ‘seeds- by the dephrimeént of agriculture from Washington - would be resumed this year will ‘not be realized. because the luns - guage of the law practically forbids - it, though the purposeé was to compel ; it. The statute commands the secretary of agriculture to purchase $llO, 000 worth of seeds, bulbs, etc., and ‘appropriates $130,000 for their purchase and distribution, or allows only - $20,000 for packing aud mailing. As it would cost- anywhere from $60,000 ~ to $70,000 to meet the charges of pack_ing and mailing. and the secretary ~ has no option with respect to dividing . the fund, Comptroller of the Treasary Tracewell has rendered a decision * practioally declaring tho law dead ~ letter. Ot course, this will cause dis- _ sppointment to some farmers in agriculture and to all tarmers in politics, we—zmm; it watil

THE MAN WITH FRIENDS.

What has become of your friends? We mean you that have passed the thirties, and the forties, and the six ties? Where are the friends who were so dear to you twenty, thirty or forty years ago? Have they gone out of your life with- the other dreams of your youth? Has life’s battles with its cruel realities, its cold selfishness, Its deadly.hatred of all sentiment, pushed you apart from those old friends yon once loved so well? e =

That man whom you just passed with a cargless salutation was, years ago, your/closest friend. You opened your hearts to‘each other. You build ed air castles together. You made plans for the future in which the one who won the prizes of life was to share them with the other, That was long, long ago, but when you meet today you exchange a'nod and in all else are strangers to each other. Blessed is the man who has held his friends. , 1t speaks;well for them; it is a cfown of glory for him. Thbere are such men; would that their name were legion. How do they succeed? Simply by following the path laid down by Soiomon' thousards of years ago:

~*‘A.man that hath friends must show himself friendly.” S :

No amendment or substitute has eyer been made to this law that has not weakened it.. None but a friendly man can keep his friends, and every man- can if he will, ‘be friendly to his fellows. There is nothing in what we call success that will compensate for the lack of appreciative, sympa-~ thizing friends. Our = liitie, sermon this morning will conclude with the injunction to be friendly and make friends, and then hold fast-to them . Be generous in your, friendships; do not permit any yicissitudes ot life to deaden your heart to the ciaims of your old and tried friends. ~The brightest rewards in heaven are kept for those who are” loyal to all their iriends.—Toledo Bee.

DON'T BE A KNOCKER

1f your neighbor' is prospercus let him prosper. Don’t grunt. growl or grumble.” Say a good Wword. for him and let it go -at that, Don’t pe a knocker. Your turn wili come. No one man is the- whole show. If you see the town moving along nicely, feel good about it. - Help things along. Shoye a little. Push. Try and . get some of the benefit yourself. Don’t stand around like a chilly old cadaver. Don’t waste vour time feeling sore because .somre fellow has: a little more sand and-‘sense than you have. Do a little hustling yourself. Don’t be a Epaeker. = - . :

If/yod can say a good word, say it iike a prince. If you are full of bile and disposed-to say something mean, keep your mouth shut. Don’t be a knocker. No man ever made a dollar ak'uucking. -No man ever got rich or happy minding everybody's business but his own, No man eyer helped himself up. permanently by knocking hie neighbors down. Give up a kind word. Give it liverally. It won’t cost you a cent and’you may want one yourself some day.” You may have thousands today and next year without the price of a shave. So don’t be a knocker. You can’t afford it. It won’t pay. There’s nothing init. If you want to throw something at somebody, throw cologne. Or roses. Den’t throw brickbats. ~Or mud. Don’t be a knocker. If yoa must kick,-go around behind the barn and take a good Kick at yourself. For if you feel that way, you're the man that needs kicking. - But whatever vou do, don’t be a knocker.—Tolc®o Beg. -

Reireshing Freshness.

- . Sterling R. Holt, a leading Democrat of the State and one of the park eom missioners of Indianapoiis, has been asked to resign. the position of commisgioner and has accepted the invita tion. The animus of the request was the charge that he had reccived §5OOO Itow a iirm of sewer contractors for some - modification in thelr contract, and made a practical confession by returning the money. The disgrace attaches to the city, of course, in huaving such men high in the aifairs of the mumnicipality. 1t ought also to greauy injure the cause ot the democracy in the present political contest in that city. The solemn fact is that it ought to defeat the party by shaming decent people into oppcsiug that party for allowing sach men to get into office.— Elkhart Review. Here, indeed, he have refreshing freshness. Mr. . Holt “was appointed to his official position by a republican mayor; wiés a goldbug Democrat last fall and voted ior MeKinley. The returns from Indisnapolis indicate that the people dowu there understood the situation better than the editor of the Review and acted accordingly. . ‘ | 2 SRt b S TR

»Y " Judge Adair Again Sustained, 1 The supreme court affirmed the decision of the Whitley ciccuii court in the case of Amanda J. Irwin ys. Jennie J. Buckles.

. - *JI Told You So.” " The man who wrote the following, which appeared in these coiumnsin June, 1896, can well say. *‘l told you gO.” We repubiish it by request, for itis & matter of local interest at this time: i ok i , -~ 1 '*A QUERY BY A REPI/BLICAN. \

. lam going to stop long enough to msake a query to some of my republican associates—ons that cannot help but interest every working Republican in this pars of the county; in fact, the whole county has something at stake in the fight. Are you ready. to’ settlel the postoflice fight now? and. are you! willing to see the loaves and fishes divided so early in the game? That is what.is going on at this"hour. William Bunyan of Kendallville and Orlando Kimmell are at the bottom of. the( scheme that, should they succeed, wili place them in a position to say who shall get the places under the next re publican administration—and in this event the deals have already beep made The nomination of Dr. E. 'W. Knepperyat Kendallvilie on Thursday: means the domination of the KimmeilHoffman combination. It will mean the appointment of John H. Hoffman as postmaster, a ,place that 'he secured six years agou through the manipulation of the same ringsters and tricksters; a place that he secured in the face of an adverse public aud party sentiment that was overwhelming; a place that he has held for tour years and has no longer any claim upon by yirtue ot his party service, and a place.(hat should £o,too some more deserving and constant party worker. H. G. Lockhart is in the combination and, assisted by a tew who are in the deal, expects to get some fat position at Washington or somewhere else, which will il all the places liable to come to Ligonier. You ask how this 18 to be done? Simply by controlling the joint representative nomination at Kendallville by getting ‘Dr. Knepper, a Fgirbanks man,-on the ticket—by having the vote of Dr. sKnepper to irade to~ Fairbanks feor ‘party favors. The deal has been made. My query is, Will the republican voters of the county and the delegates representing the best interests of the party ratify the bargain? 1 hope not. I do hgpe that the men who have these 'votes will not deliyer them into the keeping of Bunyan and Kuimmell—not become puppets in their hands; not fail into the trap set by these wily political bosses and party manipulators. I have no tight to make upon Dr. Knepper personally. Hé ‘s a- fine old gentleman, a credit to our city and the ‘community; just the kind of a man that such fellows always pick out to further their schemes, thereby hoping to lend some respectability to their leadership. They haye no interest in Ur. Knépper beyond his attitude upon the senatorial question. The plans are daep laid and far reaching. Can they ‘be carried out? Yes, uniess there are enough delegates from this county who have the independence of party boss. iwm and political trickery to vote for some other Republican who ‘does not train with, the gang. I hope they wili do Iv> Isign myself, as ever,

General Demand for Postal Banks.

No proposition that has come before the people of late years has received such general and hearty approval from the press of the entire country as the plan for the establishment of postal savings banks,- Not only do the big dailies of the cities us a _rule approve of the agitation, but ‘the newspapers in the smaller towns almost without exception commend the movement. While the comments in the newspaA~ « pers of the north and west are: most pumerouss=<the, press of the. east and south is bv no means backward in supportingsphe agitation.- Occasionally an oldtime democratic paper of the south opposes the plan on the ground that it is not the function-ef the government to do anything more than collect the revenues and protect life and property. These-are the extremes representatives ot thwv school which holds that thas government is best which goyernsleast. But for-the most part the papers of the south support the moyement for postal banks, and’call atleminng the especial need for them in that'section of the country’ where banks of all kinds are scarce and where places of safe depeosit for small:savings are very far apart. ; : S - In examining the many hundreds of exchanges that come into a city newspaper office from all parts of the country one cannot but be impressed’with the attention given to the subject of postal banks and the generally favorabie comment. This discussion of the subject in the press of the whole country must haye the effect of preparing the minds of congressmen for speedy action as scon as they shall meet again in Washington, The unanimity of the press is a sute indicatiop that the peo’ ple desire the establishment of pdstal saving banks. —Chieago Record. .

Some Postoflice Statistics. : ‘l'he fiscal year with the Indiana post’ offices ended June 30, and the governmental report bus been made public. It shows that the LaPorte office did a larger business this year than last, In 1896 the receipts were $14,352 and this | year §14,373, an increase in 1897 oﬂ,] $2l. The cost of conducting the o.iﬁcel ' was $9,633, a net gain ior the goyernm ent of $4,740. , Though Michigan City has a much larger population the receipts in that oflice in 1896 were only #10,969 against $10,925 1n 1897, a falling off of $44. ‘lhe cost of operating that office last 'year was #7,592, an ‘earning for the government of $3 077.

Goshen took in #17,494 and expended $10,172. an earning ef s7,322.—LaPorte Herald. , ‘ Something to Think Over. - Now, who lost? says an exchange in propounding the following problem: A banker, sauntering home for his dinner saw a $lO bill lying on the curbstone. Of course he picked it up and took -the number 1n order to find the owner. While at bhome, his wife remarked that the butcher had sept in a bill amounting to $lO. The. only money he had with him was’ the bill he had found. ‘gvﬁn:cn he gaye to her and she paid the butcher. The butcher paid it to the farmer for a calf and the fagmer paid it to the merchant, who in turn paid jt to the washerwoman, and she owing the banker a note of $lO, went to the bank and ‘{de the note. The banker. recognized the bill as the one he found and which t‘x})_t,o that time had settled $5O debt. On careful examination he found the bill to be counterfeit. Now will some of our financial friends tell us what had been lost in this trans- : gcﬁmﬂm;b’ﬁ&pm,ﬂagy? L

A Distressing A?cid)ent. ~Last Monday evening Mrs. Charles Bartley of Wolflake was fatally in jured in an accident peculiar in-its nature. A son and his wife had been to the city with a load of produce’ and had returned just at dark. Mrs. Bartley was driving toward the house when the old’ lady came to the road with a lighted lantern. It is supposed that the light scared the team of young horses, for they became unmanageable and started to run away. They had hardly got a good start when they struck a fence which stopped and overturned the wagon vyery. suddenly. When Mrs. Bartley was discovered she was lying under the wagon with the liub of a wheel resting -on her head. Her skull was badly’ fractured. She never regained consciousness and ‘died the next mornipg. The other lady was thrown out of the wagon, but was ‘not seriously injured, Mrs. Bartley was about 60 years old and-well known here:. ' ;

A Great Labor Saver.

The Columbia City Mail says: “Judge Adair has purchased a record for use in the county clerk’s office.. The machine will cost 8175 and operates pretty much on the same principle as an ordinary typewriter. It can be placed on an ordinary record book and operated to fill the entire page almost as if it were printed. This will expedite record copying in the clerk’s offices and be a great saving to the county, as it will require only about one third the number of record books that are used at present. These books are expensive and this Saving and the saving of time in: making records make the machine both & matter of .conyenience and economy. Chalk down one mark for Judge Adair having made at least one move in favor of the taxpayers of Whitley county.

Farmer Badly Burned.

John Swilley, a LaGrange county farmer, had an experience one night last-week that he will not want repeated soon. He want to his . barn to attend to a lame horse and was in the stall bathing its legs with Kendall's spayin cure. The bottle came into too close proximity to the lantern in use and -an explosion resuited. which quickly ecommunicated to the .litter in the stall and in- an incredibly short time the entire barn was a mass of flames. Swilley was badly burned by the explosion and only got out of the barn with his life. It was -impossible to saye the liye steck or any of the ‘contents of the barn, and three horses; five head of cattle and some hogs were cremated. Grain, hay and farm im‘plements were also burned, making the loss pretty heavy. - )
