NAPPANEE NEWS. Naffanke. Elkhart County, Ind. THE OFFICIAL PIPER OF IIPPATEF,. A PAVER FOR THE I’EOVLE. ily (lORI)OM X. MI'RBAY. Everybody is getting down to business again since the “wall." The Washington correspondents now have an all-winter's job making straw cabinets for the coming administration. President Harrison has issued his Thanksgiving prod am a thin, setting forth Thursday Nov. 24th, as the. day to tie observed. Prom the number of roosters that were pictured by the Democratic papers last, week one is led to believe that some chickens were counted before hatched. Without fear of successful contradiction. it can lie said that NappanecV business men possess more good, solid grit and enterprise than those of any •town of her size in the state. The people made no mistake when they elected Hon. Timothy E. Howard, of South. I’.iaid, to -the supreme bench of Indiana, He is a man posscssed'of a r are ’quality- of heart and mind that will do credit to the judiciary of t lie state. South Pend is to he congratulated. The formation of a substantial Improvement Association is now being Completed ns one of (lie new tflings of Nappan'ee. Within one.week, about $25.U00 has been taken of lh'c capital stock. Its object will be the locating of manufacturing plants at Nappanee. It’s a corker, too. tins time. It is wonderful,-Imw steadily the stream of immigration pours into this country. During the eight, months ended Aug. 31. 1891, the number of immigrants arrived in the United States 411!.."m'i, anil, during the eight months ended Aug. lit, 1892. tlie number arrived was 4 is.iilu —an increase of. 32,040. There was again of 14. pub-in the immigration from Austria Hungary: of 10,000 in that from fiermnny: of 8,000 in that from Sweden and .Norway: and 7,000 in that from Bussia and Poland. The principal decrease was .5,700 in the immigration from Italy. , u December makes the opening number of 'Flic Xeic Vilcrsun an illustrated magazine devoted solely to literature and art. The names of the editors are a host in themselves; they comprise Prank Lee Benedict; Howard Seely, Octave Thane't, and M. G. McClelland. Among flic contributors are such names as E. E. Hale, T. W.dligginson, Hamlin (larland, Joseph Kirkland, John Vance Cheney, William Archer, Margaret Kent,Bebeeca Harding Davis, Gertrude Atherton, Hath McEncry Stuart,Charles W. Coleman - in short, tin; cream of the essayists, story-writers and poets in the .entire length and .breadth of the country. Our readers should not fail to send for it, Terms, $2.00 a year; SI.OO for six months. A sample number will be sent for five cents. Address Tlic Peterson Magazine Cos ., Philadelphia. The Inter-Oceim voices the sentiments of a great many people in saying that - ‘one of these days the people of the United States will arise and demand a change of time in two important events, They are to change the month of elections from November to October, and the inauguration from March to April or May. As it is now, both periods are bad. Iri half a dozen states people waded through ‘snow drifts and snow storms to vole. When the inauguration ceremonies take place—it is a rare tiling to strike a diiy of cogifort in the open air—there are multitudes of instances of sickness, and death from exposure of delicate people upon such occasions who. feel constrained to take a part, in ‘jjicli duties. Tin-re i- Tint a -particle of sound sense in naming November for a presidential election or March for ttie inauguration, find our law-makers should proceed to arrange for a Change.” Tiie News was to he held over oneday last, week in order to accommodate its readers with a full report of the election. Although our Chicago house say tihry shipped the paper on Friday morning as agreed, it did not arrive here until Saturday at 11 o'clock. Os course, this leaves the express company to blame for the delay. If there is anything that causes a publisher to grow warm under the collar, it is just such bungling jobs as the one foisted onto us last week, whereby the News could not tie issued in time to reach all its subscribers on Saturday. However, this is the first mishap of the kind the News has ever

had, and it was one too, that happened, when for the first time, its -iron-clad rule of never postponing the publication of the jniper, was broken by the publisher. It is sufficient evidence to show that the only safe way is to closely follow a code of office rules. The rejection of the returns from eleven precincts in this county by the election board, which entirely destroys the will of the majority, and elects a man to a county office by 04 votes, when on the face of the returns tie was defeated by 108, has created no little’unfavorable comment. Unless the matter should he righted by the courts, this same little thing promises fairly to cut a wide swath in the future political status qf the county. The man who it effects happens.to be a Democrat and tin- only one elected ou the county ticket. Then it happens that he resides in a city which holds the-balance of power in the county either one way or the other, and Inis looked upon both ns a gentleman and an honorable citizen by every--body, regardless of political lines. Indoo.d. it looks foolish.'if not altogether hazardous for any party to shoulder such responsibility as tin- present case implies on its face, “Thu World Do Move.". In evidence of the fact that the people move-.with it in.intelligence and patriotism, both socially and jn>lilicaliy. (in-curtain was rung down

on the Lis; am of t In-campaign in Np-paik-con Monday night by what proved to lie a very successful as well unique jollification. The local Democracy must have credit fur departing from-the'beaten paths of custom—especially a custom most, prevalent in tlic smaller towns—by inviting the Bepulfl jeans to join them in a regular “high” to dose t lie last a<’t °f the great political drama for another four years. Tile Itepublicans must, have equal credit in accepting tin- sincere invitation and help swell the immense crowd on that occasion. While the Democrats seemed to come right up from the ground, so great was the crowd, yet there was a fair sprinkling of Ilcj-mlilic-ans—tlioy had been on earth for some time- who made up a neighborly crowd. A bonfire, music by the land, and speech-making at the hall, was t lie order of the evening—‘including of course, the usual “thunder" on tlie s! reefs. At the hall. Profs. Vainlervoer and IX-a lll gave short talks, and were followed by Dan’l Zook —after the audience insisted on hearing him. Mr. Zook thought that, after a fellow had been gloriously.’whipped Inowed no apology to his antagonist,and he had none to make for the Republicans; that, figuratively speaking, it was undoubtedly an age of progress in politics when a man was permitted to rise from the dead and talk at liis own funeral. The Kind, neighborly feeling must he appreciated by everybody, and he thanked his Democratic friends for tilt- opportunity. Though people were divided on political lines, all had tiie common good of the country at heart. By the defeat of the Republican party, the Democrats had relieved that party of a great responsibility, anil assumed it themselves under another code of principles, and he hoped that the ermine of governmental affairs would lie as creditably worn by a new administration as it was by the one giving place to the new'. His talk was greeted with applause. A Prohibition speaker was called for, hut none being present, the meeting closed in good fellowship.

Dedicated to The Illundcrhtigx. Tiik Nappaneo News in last week’s issue seems to lie badly affronted at a little item appearing in the Enquirer of the week before. The Enquirer has no desire to engage in any newspaper war with the News over the merits or demerits of either Bremen or Nappanee.young people. We printed the item as it was given us. —Bremen Enquirer. . The News did dot refer to the Enquinr'x responsibility in the matter at all, presuming that its information ended at the point where its informant left off, as it acknowledges in the above sentence (|noted. Further, the. News did not refer to any real or imaginary difference in the merits of one class of young people over another class, excepting in the case cited were some did not conduct themselves properly as Invited guests. Where they were reared and where they resided, cuts no figure at alljjso far as concerns this paper’s charges, and Its opinion. The party was not a public affair, and those who complained to, and caused their complaints tube paraded to-the public through the Enquirer did so with “brazen-faced affrontery,” whatsoever their motive may have been. The one or mote—whatever the number may have been —who threw edibles across the dining room

while seated at the table as guests, and committed like offenses, descended to the level of “buffoons." Those kind of people were “raised," not reared—and we make all dueallowance forotherwise careful people who at times humorously and sportingly go beyond required ethics. Os course,, it is the Enquirer's privilege to defend such conduct, but is not generally thought, or understood that the News will do so, whether the offenders are from its own town or from abroad. In the remainder of the Enquirer's effusion—not quoted here on account of its length—it causes its readers to lielive that the News charges were applied to all Bremen's young people and to the ent ire number that visit ed Nappanee on the occasion of tlic party, in particular. On the contrary, the News explicitly stated that some of the party were guilty, etc., and that, our young people should select from ■ Bremen; associates who could behave themselves. Just what motive the Enquire may have in distorting tinfacts in flic case is not apparent, unless it was to get into a “scrap" with tiie News and make an ass of'itself generally in attacking an entire community by its blunderbussgeneralities as it did last week, instead of confining its remarks to the .matter discussed by the News. Prof. !>•;.lil Takes <'luir£<> of The Furiiiiiiturc I’apfory. On Mooflay. tiie Nappanee school was (•(impelled to relinquish the valuable Services of its able* and efficient* head—Prof. B. F. Deahl. The gentleman having had a call for 1 1 is ability in an entire’ new channel of inisi-, ness life, that would he much more remunerative —in fact, ’more so than lie could expect to reach in several years in tlic profession of teaching—he resigned his position as principal of the school, and such resignation went into effect on Monday.

I; was a sad parting indeed, not only with those who had boon directly and indirectly under liis.luforship, lmt for liiniseif, wiio had become fairly wrapped rip in the new work that he had 'inaugurated here in the school and was carrying forward to a successful completion. However his going may lie. regretted by the school patrons and tin- pupils, they all recognize tinfact that it would have been impossi.blo for the School Board to retain Mr. Deahl for any great length of time at the head of the schools when his services were demanded by ,school corporations that cmild advance beyond the limit of mcjins alforded here. For this reason it was only a question of a. short time perhaps, when, if tin-pres-ent change had not. been made, inwould have left the (own, and the loss of a valuable citizen would have been sorely felt. As it is, he takes the superlntendeney of what will in time Income, one among Nappanee's most Important manufacturing establishments—the Nappanec Furniture Cos., in which he is also interested as a stockholder, and one of the directors, l’ro'f. Deahl—who is also a mechanic—will have full charge of the entire business, and Mr. Hwezey, the secretary of the company, will lie engaged in selling the factory’s product on tlic road. Thus it will he seen that Mr. Deahl will remain acitizen of Nappanec. While it has been known to the School Board for some time that such a change would he made, yet they made only temporary arrangements for carrying forward the present term, deem i ng that the most expedient th i ng to do. Under the temporary arrangements C. K. Seibert is advanced to the room and position of principal just vacated by Mr. Deahl, while Miss DeEtta Price, one of the high school pupils, will (111 the vacancy so created. Mr. Seibert is a gentleman, and a capable instructor; and holding a state license as he does, ought to he evidence that he will give the school patrons satisfaction.
