@ ® * QU . i The Figonier Banner, THE BANNER PUBLISHING COMPANY - .. J.E.MoDONALD Editor. | . THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1897. ; By A recent decision of the Supreme _court in reversing a case from Steuben ‘county, it is held that the owner of Jand is respomsible for damage done by fire which started in his clearing, notwithstanding the” fact that he had nothing to do with starting it and that the workmen who did were in the em. ploy-of a contractor. 30

Hoke SMITH says in the Atlanta Journal: “A united Democracy can win the next presidential election; a divided Democracy will be beaten again as it was last year. if not worse, It is time to think over this matter, %and the more Democrats think over it ithe clearer will the path of common isense and safety appear. |

i Ir 13 given out with considerable \Show of truth that at least two of {the %lqveland memberys of the Ohio legis-' %atjgre will not vote for Mark Hanna. ihis, coupled with the refusal of the @incinnat: fusionists to enter the republican’ caucus,. puts an element of uén'ce_rtaingy into the Ohio contest that ‘makes it really interesting, But.we still think Hanna will win. No man is,a better exponent of modern repnblicanism than he, and he ought to succeed. . : .

_'FHE treasury reserve is. so near the $157,000,000 mark that all records singe 1860, even that of last April, ha¢ been broken. Early in the cal~ endar year an outward gold movemenit often sets. in, which draws down the treasury supply. There is afpossibility that the outflow this geaspn may begin earlier than it did a year ago. At no time in the past ten years, however, has gold exportation attracted so little attention as i would now. - e

THE deficit of nearly $10,000,000 for October will not be taken as strong evidence that the Dingley bill is a revenue-producing measure; nor will it prove that the gold in the treasury is dependent upon the workings of a tariff bill, whether it be of Wilson or Dingley stamp. The needs of this government don’t seem to bother any. one. With our aggregate shortage of nearly $40,000,000 in four months, no effort is being made to meet our obligations, . e

NexT Monday a session of congress -will begin which will doubtless be one of the mést interesting which has taken place since the close of the reconstruction period. 'Among the great (uestions which will come up for action will be the Hawaiian annexa~ tion, the Cuban matter, currency reform and the general Canadian geal and reciprocity issues, And yet some congressmen- are predicting a short gession. The chances are that it will be as long as any which has been had in recent years. :

A LEADING member of the Single Tax club of Chicago is in receipt.of a letter from William Jennings Bryan, wherein that gentleman says: ‘‘ln reply to your question, I will say that I have not advoeated the single tax cauge, - I&m occupied ‘with reforms more immediately before the people and have not had the opportunity to enter into the details of that subject. There are questions which must be settled before the single tax is feached. I believe we must dispose of the money question first.” -

It 1s pretty safe to predict that the coming session of congress will not be nble to settle the financial question along the lines laid down by the ad~ ministration, which provide for the retirement of the greenback and the consequent contraction of the currency almost $350,000,000. - This will be bitterly opposed by the Democrats as well as by many Western Republicans. The many different plans for relief will be talked over and when the end comes nothing will have been done, notwithstanding the promises of the Republicans, .

- THE glass trust which controls all of the big glass factories of the country must not be experiencing that wave of prosperity so long promised. . At Elwood a well-known window glass worker, in speaking of the present unprecedented shut down, estimates the loss of workers in wages at $450,000, subdivided as follows: One thousand seven hundred and eighty glass blowers at $l2O per month each, $204,000; 1,780 gatherers/ at $BO per month, $136,000; 680 flatteners, $lOO per month, $68,000; and 420 cutters at sloo°per month, $42,000,, . °

A NEW idea in the line of municipal control of public utilities is the proposition of the council of New Haven to establish a city newspaper. The notion seems to have met with some favor. for the resolution creating a committee to make inquiry as to the advisability of the scheme was passed by & unanimous vote. One alderman #ays that the paper;if started, will be the most popular publication in New Haven, and will yield a revenue to the ity within a short time. This 1s carrying the thing pretty far, and we don’t believe that the thing will work. Itis ®» strong o‘vidépce. ‘ however, of the growing sentiment in favor of municl-

THE forecasts of McKinley’s message seem to be very satisfactory to English interests, and republican journals will soon be republishing extracts from English papers commendatory of the stand of the President. A few years ago, when the Wilson bill was so talked about, English commendation was regarded as a red rag in the face of a mad bull. What a change ot positions!

- THE world of letters and of politics grieves at the- knowledge that the sun of . Gladstone’s life is fast setting. Friends around the Grand Old Man say that the ravages of age have laid heavy hands upon him-.in the last few months, and that hisracels nearly run. There should be- nothing strange in this news, and yet, withal, there is. Few men at Gladstone’s age possess his virility and’stamina, and far less ever expect to. Yet. somehow, the world has learned to expect more from William E. Gladstone than from most men. So far has he outstripped all rivals in the race of life that men have unconsciously come to look upor him as a match for old Father Time. He 'has given him & valiant fight, but at last the fortunes of battle are turning against him, and when he surrenders his eword of battle to the Great Reap-~ er, historians will record on their annals the demise of one of the grandest figures of this century. ‘

INDIANA BANK FAILURES

The sensational private bank failures in Indiana, the result of speculative and dishonest management, serve to emphasize anew the need of sound banking for all classes of the coms munity. ° . -7 . For the poorer class of depostors the solution of the question is easy if congress will but apply the remedy. Postal savings banks would guarantee to every small depositor who chose to take advantage of the institutions absolute security against loss from any cause whatever, save only the disrup= tion of.the government itself. The repeated failures of private institutions for the receipt of deposits should im= press upon congress the need for action in ‘order to safeguard the savings of the poor. Lo For the protection of the larger depositors every precaution should be taken by the government, both federal and state, to insure, so far as possible, the soundness of the banking inatitutions of the country. In particular should supervision by public authorities be insilsted upon.—Chicago Record.

The Steam Stone Crusher.

- The steam stone crusher owned by Washington township can break the bhardest of nigger-head stone at the rate of a cubic yard évery seven minutes, and it »s said that the mile of road built north of Pierceton is the best piece of road for that distance in the state. The great feature of this machine is that it digposes of the thousands of stones that cover the fields In'se many places in every sec tion of this county and which are o annoying to cultivation. These, in« stead of being an annoyance, become a material for road building unexcelled and far superior to gravel, it is claimed. Harry C. Leedy. who is the manager of the machine, informs us that he has never yet come across a nigger head that the machine would not crush. A road made ot crushed stone, in time—and a comparatively short time, too—becomes as hard as a solid rock. The comments among those who were first opposed to getting the Washington township machine are now practically unanimous in regard to the wisdom of its purchase, and are firm in the-belief that it is one of the best investments any township could make that has the stone to supply it.— Warsaw Times.

Still Suffering,

Editor J. B. Stoll of the South Bend Times has had a long siege of malaria, and has been writing his editorials in & reclining chair at home. But he is improving, and promises his many friends that he will soon be himself again. .He ought to live another half century.—Rochester Sentinel. ~ Promises by one afflicted with mala~ rial poisoning are hazardous, as the writer has painfully discovered in this instance. Malaria hangs on with a tenacity worthy of a better cause. It yields very slewly, uncertainly and unequally. It seems to baflie medical skill, constitutional vigor, and severely tests one’s power of endurance. Malaria is indeed a troublesome affliction. —South Bend Times. I

Following Every Clew,

She has offered & reward of $lOOO for any information that will lead to his present where.: abouts or $5OO for the recovery of his body.

Later he went to Columbus, 1n the same state, to visit another cousin, Mrs. William Seeds, and was last seen in that city on Oct. 9. Since that time he has completely disappeared. Mrs. Davault wrote to this place making inquiries regarding-the unknown man who died at the Hotel Golden three weeks ago, but as her husband is but 33 years old and the unknown man was at least twice that age, the Elkhart clew proved a false one.—Review,

INTERESTING HISTORICAL NOTES

And Many Points of Local History, Facts

and Figures Worth Pres_ervi‘ng.

BY 8. E. ALVORD: JiXe o

'he strange guest -who drew up at Bristol's tavern was unusally well dressed—in the fashion of the hunters, traders and land agents of the time. His horse was a good one, and an apparently well-filled leathern saddlebag was fastened to the saddle behind. The stranger’s countenance was pleasant, his manner affable yet suggestive of little acquaintance with the darker phases of life and character. He was evidently an amiable young man, who on first arrival i a Western mining camp would have been recognized as ‘‘tenderfoot.”’ And something like that was probably the estimate of the land lord and several other guests who had “put up’’ there a few hours before, and whose characters may be judged from the fact that they were then pars ticipating lin a ‘‘high old time'’ln the adjacent grove. T Laquor flowed freely. Ribald songs rose through the trees atintervals, and gaming with cards was going cn. From an Indian camp near by half a score of savages had been allured by the fascinations of whisky and gamoling—for both of which the red men had .an irrepressible fondness, 'The scene attracted our young traveler also; and it was not long before he had imbibed copious draughts of whis: ky and was eagerly participating in the gambling. Ly

.Instead of departing early the next morning’ he remained several days, freely spending mouey. of which he seemed to have a large amount, and indulging in drink and card-playing without stint. All the while one of the other guests tarried also, manifesting a friendly (?) interestin the young man and faithfully “taking care’’ of him! {

T'he fourth evening after his arrival the young stranger went staggering forth upon the darkening trail on foot and alone, hatless and coatless, without horse or saddlebag; was s:ien in the twilight to swerve from the road into the forest —and was Been no more! So far as the contemporary relator knew, he was never seen nor heard of afterward. He had staked and lost everything — horse, equipment, - hat, coat and money. <The supposed winners were said to be strangers to the person who told the incident to an intimate friend many years afterward, with Injunctions to secrecy. The question, Did,the victim ever ‘‘get out of the woods?’ remains unanswered.

- In a general sense that period may be regarded as.ferra incognita at this time, and left to' logical imagiuﬁ&tion, faintly illuminated by a few authentic traditions that may serve as guic}es.to reasonable speculation. We can form rational ideas as to what the real history of those years must have been. Enough is -known, or intimated, to justify the statement that the ‘‘bar sinister’’ was broad and dark enough to be conspicuous on the escutcheon of the period, but truth demands that it be recognized as a factor in Noble county’s. destiny. There can be no light without shadows—no glory without contrasting shame — this side of heaven. : : No river of Jight. so pure and so bright, ! : Ever flowed through the landscapes of time, That no sl(ljadows bestained nor motesiatervene {

To bedim, and the beauty begrime—for perfection in human life would be inconsistent with the divine scheme of endless evolution. - |

During the years 1828, 1329 and 1830 a full tide of immigration to Elkhart county (then being organized) swept past the Bristol house, #nd its halfway locauon between Fort- Wayne and Elkhart Prairie made it an always convenient and - often necessary stopping place. The Bristols and Tibbots did not suffer from isolation and solitude in 28, '29 and ’3O. Families of firstclass people often stayed there '‘over night,” and some for several days. Col. John Jackson, one of the founders of Elkhart county and for many years one of Its most prominent and in+ fiuential citizens, with his family on their way to settle in Jackson township, stopped, and tarried at Bristol’s for two days in 1828. ‘Doubtless the locality was well remembered by the colonel, who had passed over the trail as an officer of the expedition of mounted men dispatched by Governor Harrison from Fort Wayne to rout the Indians of O:nox-see, or Five . Medals, on the Elkhart river near Benton in 1812 —during the war with Great Britain. ] :

O-nox-see was the name of an Indian chief; Anglice, *'Five Medals.”’ According to the Pottawatomie custom, or scheme of patriarchal goverment, the town was called Ais town and the people Xis people. It was a species of feudalism that prevailed to some extent everywhere among the Algonquin nations, It was, politically, in harmony with the French system of that time, and had been for ages before the system prevalent in England and in all Europe. Yet it must be admitted that the Algonquin kingships and baronies rested on a better basis| than those of civilized Europe. Here, although it was admitted that great chiefs should exercise the prerogatives and stand in the relation to the rest that authorized them to use the phrases ‘ny people’’ and ‘‘my town,’”’ and to dispose of the-lands occupied by whole tribes, yet they had to deserve such pre-eminence and authority by superior personal merit. Whereas, in the Bourbonism of Europe the false pretenses of ‘‘divine right’’ and ‘‘hereditary’’ assumption ignored completely all public merit and personal worth, and made it possible—frequently probable—that tue exponents of the national system might be among the weakest, meanest and most vicions! Such a state of things our savage Algonquins in practice would not tolerate. And let us here pay just tribute to the political genius, and recognition of the rights of man, that distinguished the heroic Tecumseh, whose eonflict ‘with Governor Harrison arose from his indignation at the manner in which the governor obtained, the cessions of millions of -acres of the Indian lands by treaties with ‘‘chiefs.”’ without the consent of the tribes—the people, all of whom, the great chief insisted, were owners of the land, which their chiefs had no right to give away or sell. His patriotic soul rebelled aﬁainst the unjust assumption, as did the colonists against ‘‘taxation without representation.’’ In that respect, at least, he was animated by the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. He fell in the battle of the Thames, fightmng, as he believed, for freedom from *bossism’’—a champion of the inalienable rights of mankind, .

. A Characteristic Letter. The National Tribune contains many letters from old soldiers giving their experienee. The following characteristic letter of Pat Dolan of Albion appears in a late issue: *When we were going to Atlanta. "8t Peach Tree creek, I got into a rebel gopher hole. and the Johnny cut the hair off the side of my head three times. I told himj}he was either an awkward fellow or a good ghot one of the two. I informed him fur ther that I had sixty rounds of ammunition and that he was welcome to all of them. Then-I shot at him about ten times, and I guess I got him. I saw the rebels load a cannon, and the shell, when they fired, came right into the pit where I was. 1 picked it up and threw it out. It fell almost on the captain of our artillery. He said that was the-coolest trick he ever saw in the whole war.. I said, ‘‘Captain, what would you have done?’’ He said it would have knocked his head off.

The shell did not exp'ode and the captain said he had a gun which it would fit, and that he would. shoot it back to them and make them hustie around like they did me. I watched him sénd it back. It hit the log on their breastworks, and you ought to have seen the Johnnies get out of there, . ;

I would like to find out who was the captain of the two Napoleon guns that stood right north of the Widow Glenn’s on Sunday at Chickamaugsa in the year 1863. I helped use one of those guns, I ran up toit and pulled it around to the south, and the captain wanted to know where I got my strength I carried ammunition to the gun I told the captain 1 would watch and see how many Johnnies he killed. When the gun went off and it threw me five or six feet from it, the captain cried, ‘‘My God. you are hurt!” As I was leaving he said he wished he had fifty men like me. He asked me where I belonged, and I told him to ‘‘Uncle Sam.”” He said, *‘We_ all belong to Uncle Sam.’” Then I told bhim 1 was a private of the 30th Indiana infantry. Ceo. C, )

The Living Age for 1898.

In another column will be found a prospectus of this standard periodical. Founded by Eliakim Littell in 1844, it has steadily maintained the reputation gained with its earliest issues of being the most complete representative of foreign thought as expressed by its greatest exponents, It is today a faithful reflection of almost all that is subetantial and truly valuable in the passing -literature of the world, embracing as it now does in its Monthly Sapplement American as well as forei%x; literature. v hile its pages show the same wise and judicious discrimination which has ever characterized its editorial management, the scope of the magazine has been ‘widened, its size increased and its price reduced, so that increasing years seem only to add to its vigor and value. , : .

" To those whose means are limited it must meet with especial favor, for it offers them what could not otherwise be obtained except by a large outlay. Intelligent readers who want to save time and money will find it invaluable. ~ The Living Age is published weekly, and the price is now but $6 a year. To all new subscribers for the year 1898 are offered free the eight numbers of 1897, containing the opening chap= ters of the new serial, .*“With All' Her Heart,” described in the prospectus.

Dogoned Politics.

The action of the county commissioners of Noble county in ordering the purchase of bloodhounds for use in pursuing and apprehending criminals is variously commented on by citizens of that county. Some approve while others oppose. 1t would net be at all surprising if this matter were made something of an issue at the next election. It all depends on how it is handled. Noble county is a fruitful field for criticism, crimination and recrimination. Politically the county is close, and a little side 18sue of this nature might cut quite a figure in determining who shall fill the offices the court house at Albion.—South Bend Times. i

i * Caught in the Act. ~ The deputy tish commissioner has been stirring up violators of the fish law lately. A resident of Syracuse was caught by the officer in the act of using a net. The man using the net replied to the officer making the arrest: “Well, you've caught me this time, and if you’ll just step up to my house I'll show you sanother net.” The commissioner #accompanied the man and when the latter emerged from the house he pointed a shot gun at the officer and drove him away. The violator was afterwards arrested by a Warsaw constable.—Warsaw Times. . Notice of Election.
