THE WEEKLY INDEPENDENT. d W. METSKER, Tub. and Prop. K.YMOTJTH, - - INDIANA. CURRENT TOPICS i. TILI.MAX OX LINCOLN. In delivering a speech in the senate the other day Ben Tillman of South Carolina paid a tribute to Lincoln. Referring to the Civil War period he said: "Amid the storm of passion who was the man, the embodiment of all th3t was best and noblest in northern civilisation, and even in American civilization, who stood as the groat apostle of Jiberty? Whose words of fervid eloquence marshaled the northern hosts? Whose high moral purpose, whose grandeur of character and greatness of ton!, sustained those hosts in adversity and defeat? Who stood like a colossus towering: above the smaller, meaner men who surrounded him, and who must ever stand above thom.cammanding the admiration and love of all true men everywhere? Who? Abraham Lincoln; and I. from South Carolina, toll you so and fed honored in doing it. "Whatever motives may be attributed to others, whatever of selfishness or ambition that mir-ivd into the c.tleulutions of others. I hf-re d.vlare it is iny belief tint he never had a thought in connection with the whole subject nor uttered a word th.it did not have Us inspiration in the purest pitriuism and the nobTest aspirütioa for humanity, lie did not consider tli D- laration of lud p.rndfu lu ;.:. demie question.

The committee has stopped receiving money and desires it to be understood that it is in no need of further as!stan-e at present. This eems to indicate that the Uors are uot wanting in sympathizers in any part of the world, and that the response of their friends to their first and only appeal for assistance was prompt and generous. KOKKKTA IN Tilt. FKI.K STATK. Ixrd Koberts cheered the Kaglish people and strengthened their confidence in him by making his first important maneuver in South Africa with brilliant success. The movement of his force in reality nurhrd the opening of a new eampcin. It brought a Uritlsh army for the ,'ir.-t tim upon the territory of the Bo?rs on 1 constituted the first step in a new strategic plan. Th. maneuver was eireiuHy planned and f.eci,t'd with a rapidity and adroitness which se:?m to indicate that Lnglnnd at las' has a apt bio tr3es"üt in tai field. I'Kivati; rnori:itTY ami i.vur. An Important decision in a cane involvlr.s property and contract rights has been rendered In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. It is justly regarded as a vindication of reasonable industrial liberty and a rebuke to legislators who make assaults upon property in violation of the spirit of the Constitution and American principles of government. The court referred to has set aside an act of congress as Invalid because repugnant to the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits the taking of private property without due process cf law. TUP. crRRKNCT HILL'S MA JO KIT Y. IJy a vote of 40 to 29 the senato naopted the amended financial bill. The passage of the bill was at no timo in any serious doubt, for even the opposition discovered at an early stags that it was impossible to prevent favorable action. TAMN; MOKTOAtiKS AM SAVIMiS. In addition to the perplexing problem of mortgage taxation, which is still troubling the New York legislature, a bill for the taxation of all deposits in the savings banks that amount to or exceed $I.0) is now exciting much controversy in and out of the, legislature of the state named. It is recognized on all hands that the present tax system is an outrage upon equity. Iteal estat; is overtaxed, especially in the country districts, and perfonalty largely escapes. wi!i:v ami Tin: mtfk ;:. The reason why suffrage in most of tlif tat es of the American union is not rxerri.-'-d by women M well as by men is that most of the women do not want it. Those who cecline to ask for It feel that 33 matters stand they have i esponsibilitir -j enough and '.inflaenco fooiigh. Suffrage is a duty as well a3 ft privilege, and -a very large majority of the women of the United State feel that they have duties enough to attend to now, says the Mi'waukea "Wiftntin."

Tuesday, Feh. 13. The friends of Cecil It hod es are becoming alarmed at his possible fate, and have sent an emissary to see Dr. Ieyds, the diplomatic agent of the Boers in Europe, in regard to the probable course the Boers would pursue in the event of his capture. Dr. Leyds assured the intermediaries that the Uocis did not intend to kill Mr.Rhodes, but, he added, they would certainly hold him as a hostage until the indemnity for the Jameson raid was paid. Iii view of the developments since the raid the Boers have also decided to double the amount cf the indemnity demanded, so Mr. Rhodes' friends will have to hand over 2.OoO.OOO ($10,000,000) before he is released. The concentration of forces at the Modder river camp has apparently been accompanied by the weakening of the British forces elsewhere in Cap3 Colony, and it looks as though the Boers in the Colesburg district have been encouraged by the withdrawal of Gen. French with his cavalry. Telegrams from ltensburg cannot bo considered rearming. The British outposts have Lecn driven back. Probably Gen. Clements will have all his work cut out to enable him to hold his own, as he is opposed by an enemy superior numerically and armed with better artillery. VoUnemliy. !-!. 1 t.
