Judge Taylor of the circuit court at Terre Haute, pronounced the Nicholson bill inoperative. The Demorest magazine has been purchased by the publishers of Judge, and the property has all been removed to the Judge building. The republican party is known as theG.O.P., and the Cleveland Leader wants to know why the democracy may not be known as the 1). O. 1. An expedition is being preposed to explore the region of the Antartic. It is supposed to be inhabited by animal life, and estimated as occupying 8,000,000 acres of land. The adjournment of the special session of the legislature in Illinois took place Friday of last week. It is worthy of comment that a cloud hangs heavily over it. It seems, that notwithstanding the reports sent out that the Spanish are making things hum in Cuba, the insurgents are winning a battle once in a while. Everything is not as serene in the Republican camp at Indianapolis as might be. National political dill'erences seem to be at the bottom of tke trouble. It is the common opinion that othej folks' faults can be easily mended. But other folks' faults are like other folks rheumatism; it is easy enough to cure in someone else, but when we try to cure our own we have plenty of bus iness. The great mistake made by many political managers is their idea that their party is an army, and should be held understrict discipline. That party obligations are such that every partisan should be told off and held under penalty to strict allegiance. In these days parties are voluntary associations, held together by intelligence and worth, not by force or fear. The Dagos broke loose at Spring Valley, Illinois, Sunday, and the result is a large number of colored men, women and children are in the hands of the physicians being cared for wounds received. While we are not in sympathy with the lawless elemant that seems to predominate at this notorious place, yet our former knowledge of these people permits us to 'say that the negro is far superior to the class of Italians that live in that section. At Topeka, Kansas, steps have been taken to form a new political party. This new adjunct to the already well filled field, will be known as the "Independent Americans." The fundamental principles as laid down by this new organization, is their staunch adherence to the free coinage of silver, and the removal of the national capital to a more central location. They further declare for "true Americanism' A call will be issued for a state convention which will meet at Topeka, Sept. üth. A special invitation is extended to all those who are in sympashy with the movement to attend. We think we have hot political campaigns in the United States. Put the accounts which have filled the papers the past two weeks of the shocking brutality and ruflianism exhibited in the political campaign in England even exceed the Dull dozing and the villanous methods popularly supposed to belong to the KuKlux and White League sections of the unreconstructed states of ex-rebellion. We are not apt to make personal attacks on candidates and their "wives with stones and mud and filth. The political amenities in this country are generally confined to bitter personalities and slanders, but then, there are often injuries which are more lasting and perhaps more severe than physical assaults because they rankle deep. Catholic members of the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and Sons of Temperance are authoratively placed under the ban of the Iiomish church by the published order that went into effect on the 21st and must now count themselves as ostracised from all communion with the religion of their fathers. They can not kneel at the same altar with their wives, sisters, brothers and parents; they are barred from the sacraments, from the confessional and all the ser vices that the church performs for the good of its faithful members, and worse than all, when death comes they are to be buried in unconsecrated ground and without the rites of mother church, no masses sung and no word of priest or pastor to soothe the sorrow of mourn ing friends and relatives. Such is the effect of the edict of Tope Leo XIII, read from the Iloman Catholic pulpits

recently.

Those who visited the ball grounds yesterday certainly got their moneys worth, and the Maroons done themselves proud, winning from Winnamacs in two straight games, and piling up scores which showed that the boys played ball all the time. Winnamac, on the contrary, was not in it at any time and couldn't score anything but errors. It was their off day and they simply could not hold a ball when they got fit in their hands. Capron and Wächter put up a strong game and were well supported. The three new men, Patterson, (Jriffeth and Park er proved themselves valuable additions to the team. Gillispie distinguished himself when he took the box and pitched two innings at the beginning of the second game. There was just one ball player in the Winnamac team who played ball from beginning to the end; that was llassett, the left fielder, who got everything that came his way, and also made a good record at bat. In the last three innings of the second game the Winnamacs did brace up a little and made it interesting for a short time by scoring live in the third, fourth in the fourth and three in the fifth. Put Plymouth had too much the advantage, having scored twelve in the second and five in the fourth. Dur boys didn't play without errors, however, but the visitors piled up such a conglomeration of them that those of the Maroons vanished in comparison. The visiting team, however, were a good natured, gentlemanly lot of fellows and took their punishment with perfect composure, and complimented Umpire Stevens on his just and honest decisions, the only kicks they registered being agmst their own umpire whom they brought with them. The turnout was not what might have been expected, considering the fine weather, there not being people enough on the grounds to pay expenses. This certainly must be discouraging to any team and it would seem as though yesterday's work ought to have redeemed their reputation and insure a good patronage at succeeding games. The first game ended in a score of 9 to 4, while the second game wound up with 17 to 12 in favor of the Maroons.

ANOTHER INVENTION.

Dr. W. Jackson, of This City Invents a Surgeon's Chair of Much Merit. While making our rounds this morn ing we strolled into the otlice of Dr. W. Jackson and were there shown a surgeon's chair which he has had built after his own patterns drawn from ideas of his own as to what is needed by the general practitioner. It is so arranged that it can be adjusted to all positions required in general practice and easily and quickly done. It is a model of neatness, simplicity and durability, fin ished in elegant style, making a piece of furniture which would be an ornament to any physician's otlice. The doctor already has an order to supply a similar one to one of our other city physicians who can appreciate a good thing when he sees it. We should think it would demand a good sale, should the Dr. desire to coin mence the manufacture of it and place t on the market. The Ball Tournament. The Päse Pall Association is using every possible means to make the base ball tournament, that will occur here the latter part of the month, a great success. This success depends largely upon the efforts of our business men, and we have not the slightest doubt that it will prove a great drawing card for Plymouth in the future. While it is some days yet before this notable event, it behooves us to begin preparations for receiving our visitors in a manner befitting the Queen City of Indiana. Let every merchant prepare to decorate their store buildings. While the buildings themselves are of such a nature as to impress the visitors, yet with a goodly display of the national colors and bunting, it gives those who come here, to spend even a few days, a reception that will always make them remember the city of Plymouth, Indiana, with the kindliest of feelings, At the same time it creates an impression abroad that we are up to the times, that we believe in gving a royal reception to every man who comes within our portals, whether on business or pleasure bent. Py all means let us prepare for this occasion in a manner that denotes progress, and a desire to treat our visitors in a neighborly manner. It will also encourage our home team to put forth extra efforts to regain the ground they have under dilliculties lost. A Pig Newspaper Lie. Everybody enjoys a good newspaper lie and if the enjoyment is in proportothe lie, the following from Painbridge, Y. Y'., is a whole circus in itself: "Thomas Foote, 22 years old, died on the l'Jth inst., at his home seven miles from Hancock, under peculiar circumstances. He was affected by what he ate to such an extent that when he indulged in beef he would become restless, wander out and bellow like an ox. going down on his hands and knees to eat grass like a cow. After he partook of mutton his actions were those ot a sheep, and he would bleat like a lamb. When he ate chicken he would go out and scratch for worms, which he devoured with apparent relish. His father killed some squirrels, of which the son ate heart ly. He left the house, and was followed by his father who soon saw his son jumping from limb to limb of a tree, barking like a squirrel. He called for him to come down, but this only seemed to make the boy want to escape, and he attempted to jump from one tree to another. He missed his footing, ielltotha grounu and exipred in less than live minuets. The riagniflcence of Youth. Whenever it was given out that John J. Ingalls was to address the senate at Washington the galleries were crowded, and hundreds were unable to enter who greatly desired to do so. It was a delight, as well as a pleasure, to listen to him. No man ever sat in that chamber that had a better or liner use of the English language than that distinguishsd senator. Recently Mr. Ingalls delivered an address before the students of the Kanas University at Lawrence. It is filled with most beautiful word paintings. Its rhetoric is really sublime. He said: It is magnificent to bo young. There is a superb glory and facination about youth. The morning of life, the spring tide of the soul. Youth is the enviable epoch. We lose something when we cease to be young for time brings no equivalent or compensation. Of youth everthing can be predicted. The heroes, the artist, the poets, the philosophers, the leaders of the bar, the great captains of industry are young. The wealth, the pleasures, dignities, the destinies of the world are the inevitable heritage of the young. Some of these heirs of fame and fortune and felicity 1 have no doubt are here, but as they look back from the apex and hight divide of success and recall this hour they will feel that there is no joy the world can givo like that it takes away when we cease to be young. To us who have taken our places and done our work conies the desolating thought that we shall grow no more. We have been weighed and most of us found wonting. Our specific gravity or levity, one cubic contents anb our dew points have been ascertained and registered; we have become monotonous. The earth grows fatigued with us, but it greets the young with ardent and impatient acclamation Rochester Republican.

Class Politics. There is no room for so-called class

politics in the I'nited States. The in-; spiration of patriotism and a true love j for the government of this country is a ; tenet we all hold, or at least we are all J striving for equal laws for every man. j I'nder the true spirit of libertv there is I no such thing as recognition ot rank of ; any kind and there is no basis lor any I kind of class distinction. Differences j of wealth, where the laws are equal ! are due only to natural dilTeiences of j cleverness, shrewdness and opportunity, i Our law makers and executives do not j as a rule, desire to make or enforce j laws, especially favoring the wealthy i or t lie poor, the farmer, merchant, tradesman, or any other class. It is only when the people believe that the laws especially favor wealth or great corporations, that there is any reason for complaint or dissatisfaction. It is true that great corporations and combinations of capital attempt by the power ot money to proclaim unequal legislature but there is always a lawful remedy for the people through the control of such combinations, through the charters granted them, and through the courts of law. Certainly nothing is to be permanently gained by any particular class, be they farmers, laborers, miners, doctors, or any other combination uniting to form a political party to secure their own especial and peculiar advantage. Py so doing, they are following exactly the course they denounce corporations for doing. That corporations do abuse their power is not denied. It is also true, that there are great and perhaps unjust inequalities of fortune. Put these dilliculties are not going to be remedied by boycotting banks or by refusing to accept the advantages accruing to all of us by the services of great corporations whose operations could never be successful without the combinations of vast capital. It must be admitted that any division of the people into political classes is a process as dangerous to public interest as is class legislation. We must all hang to gether as citizens to correct and reform abuses of all kinds, those which arise from the inequalities of condition as well as those of bad and unwise legislation. Intelligence, experience, patience, reason, should control us all and ignorance, and passion, and selfishness, should have no control over the political action of any man who is governed by sincere patriotism. Late Literary News, Not since ''The Anglomaniacs" has there been so clever a society satire as Henry Fuller's "Pilgrim Sons," which puplishcd in the August Cosmopolitan. The problems involved in woman's use of the bicycle are so startling and so numerous, under the rapid evolution of this art, that one welcomes a careful discussion of the subject by so trained a mind and so clever a writer as Mrs. Reginald dt Koven. The Cosmopolitan illustrates Mrs. de Koven's article with a series of oses by professional models. A new sport, more thrilling than any known to Ximrod, more dangerous than was ever experienced by even a PulTalo Pili, is explained in the same issue in an article on "Photographing Pig (lame in the Rocky Mountains," before shooting. The idea that ten cents for the Cosmopolitan means inferiority from a literary point of view is dispelled by the appearance in this number of such writers as Sir Lewis Morris, Sir Edwin Arnold, Edgar Fawcett, Tabb, W. Clark Pus. ell. Lang, Sarcey, Zangwill, Agnes Replier, etc. Nor can we entertain the idea of inferiority in illustration with such names as Hamilton (libson, Penman, Van Schaick, Lix, Sandham, etc., figuring as the chief artists of a single month's issue.

Tho following ruling by the Supreme Court has been commented on by a captain of a largo cycling club, and it is of importance to all, so wo reproduce it: "Picycles are vehicles, and such as are entitled to one-half of the public highway. Any person refusing to give one-half of the public highway to a bicycle is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction may be fined in any sum not exceeding 6-5. When any person comes up behind a vehicle, and desires to pass, the person ahead must turn to tho left and the person following must turn to tho right. Any person refusing to give half tho way to any one desiring to pass, upon conviction, is liablo to a lino of not moro than 825."

The Hanna Times, after an existence of a few weeks has suspended, and the plant moved to Wanatah. A fire in the house of .lohn P.axter at Pourbon last Wednesday, did about 8"oo damage, Fully covered by insurance. The Pourbon News has increased its si.e to a seven column folio. Prother Carter labors to give his subscribers all the news. Patrick Foley, who was sent to jail on a charge of profanity, has been released on promise of leaving Plymouth at once and for all time. When tonsorial artists, corn doctors, tiddlers, etc., dub themselves -professor" we judge it is about time lor school teachers to give up the title. The (Joshen Democrat tells us there are "(M towns in Indiana ranging from 2hi to 1,2H) inhabitants, that have no newspapers. Arthur A. .lacoby, formerly of this city, now of Ft Wayne in the Pittsburg oilices, is spending his vacation with relatives here. Fngledrum in his walk from South Pend to Indianapolis in thirtysix hours, arrived two hours ami thirtylive minutes behind time. A bicycle path one mile in length is being constructed near (Joshen. It will consist of hard pan, and if a success efforts will be made to unite Goshen and Elkhart. A gang of counterfeiters are being located near Crown Point. They are issuing a silver dollar dated 1ST'., and it is said to be a line reproduction of the genuine. Tho firm of Jones A: Tanner have dissolved. Mr. Tanner selling his interest in the real estate and insurance business to Mr. Jones who will continue at the old stand. A pile of trunks and theatrical necessities, were received at the 1'ittsburg depot yesterday from Pidgeville, Ind. They are marked Hilly -Casad's 15 whites and 15 chocolates." Some boys, who are so weakly that they cannot handle a hoe, can g out in the boiling hot sun and wield a baseball and not turn a hair, This is one of the mysteries of nature. A female veterinary practitioner has a large practice and is said to be very successful in one of the southern states, and yet it is said of her that she does not know how to drive a horse. The closing of saloons at llobart on Sunday resulted in the closing of all candy stores, barber shops, stables, etc., Monday for the first time in many years. Valparaiso Messenger. Will O'Prien, who received serious injury to his left eye at Pourbon on the Fourth, has been to Chicago interviewing an oculist. It will be some time before his eye will be entirely recovered. Labor Day will be recognized in Elkhart, in all the glory pertaining to that popular event. Several bands have been engaged to disperse music, while Ex-(Jovernor Waite, of Colorado, is announced asone of the orators of theday. We learn from exchanges that frost was the result of the cold wave that struck this section of the state Thursday night of last week. It was distinguishable, so reports have it, near Wabash. A certain well-known young man who is a cigarette fiend, asked a physician if he thought cigarette smoking was injurious to the brain. The doctor said: "Oh, no, not in the least, a fellow who has brains won't smoke them. The young man is still puzzled over the answer. Fx. J. D. Molter, of Pender & Moller has sold his interest in the real estate firm to C. A. Compton,of Elkhart. All that remains to complete the deal is for Mr. Compton to submit references that will be satisfactory to Mr. Pender. Mr. Molter will still be connected with the otlice. In (Jeorgia watermelons are rotting by the million because there is not sufficient transportation to market. Vet here we are anxiously waiting for the home crop to get ripe enough to eat. No danger of these rotting here before they are eaten. The following from an exchange contains a few. facts: "Yes, indeed these are hard times. We throw away our ashes and grease and buy our soaps. We let our manure go to waste. We raise dogs and buy hogs. We grow weeds and buy vegetables and brooms. We catch live cent fish with a i?l rod. We build school houses and send our children off to be educated. And lastly we send our boys out with a 10 gun and a 810 dog to hunt for a ten cent bird. Thursday morning a distressing ac cident occurred at the residence of (Jeo. Foreman, about four miles this side of Kendallville. Foreman loaded his wagon with stone to take to Kendallville. His little son Earl, aged six years, climbed upon the wagon and was driving tho team, Mr. Foreman walked bohind tho wagon. They had just started

His hit-ist was badly bruised. Mr. Foreman caught the hind wheel and by jelling to the team succeeded iii stopping the wagon just as the hind wheel had reached the prostrate form of the boy.

The amount of historical information to be received by the young, especially those who study the animal world, to be secured by attending the ParnumPailey sliow, is worth as mach to the scholar as live v ears of school study over books.

at Lu Porte read this "ad." of a newbaking powder company in a Chicago paper: -Cirl wanted to sell baking powder. To any girl will send us sis for three dozen cans of our rapid-selling baking powder and show us that it has been sold, we will forward at once a beautiful safety." py hard work she sold the stuff and demanded the proffered prize. The safety" was received in an envelope: it was made of brass and looked just like those mother used to pin our childish clothes with, and yet we wonder at crime. It has cost something to supply the wants of the state militia in camp at Indianapolis.

"Talk about saving money," said a veteran millionaire, 'it is 1(H) times harder now to keep cash in your pockets than it was when I was a young fellow and didn't spend a cent. 1 tell you it's hard for them to save in these times. Every young man wants a bicycle, and it's might v hard to stand on the street and see your friends spinning by on wheels and not invest yourself. Again, it's a great privation for a oung fellow not to be well dressed. The distinction between good clothes and poor is so sharp nowdays that it is galling to be conspicuous by cheap-attire. Again there is the theater, the excursion boat, the races, and a score of other inducements to spend money which hardly existed in my day, and I'm glad they didn't for if they had 1 honestly think would have been a poor man now." ("lobe Democrat: There is now in Sing Sing prison, awaiting death by electrocution, a young woman named Maria Parberi, convicted by a jury, presumably sane anil competent, of murder in the first degree, for the killing of a man who had betrayed and seduced her under the promise of marriage The facts brought out on the trial showed that the wretch put tne girl under the inlluence of drugs to make an easier victim of his lust, anil then when she discovered her condition she begged him to save her from disgrace by marriage, but that he replied only in jest and ridicule. Then she slew him. Sj long as it is the unwritten law of this land that no man can be punished for killing the mincer of his wife his sister or his daughter, it is strange that a jury should find a verdict of death against a woman for killing her own seducer. There should be a new verdict for such cases. ''Justifiable homicide" is it not sutlictent. Itshourd be "commendable homicide," and the person found "guilty" should be sen tenced to get a pension from the State. There is a petition for the commutation of Miss (Parberi's setence now in the hands of (Jovernor of New VorkJ Put nothing less than a full and freo pardon will do justice to the subject.
