VOLUME XVII.

Congressman Shively is numbered among the gubernatorial possibilities of Indiana. The newspapers already have about twenty “possibilities” in the field. The Dispatch is agitating the question of building a large elevator at Michigan City for the purpose of shipping grain to the eastern markets by way of the great lakes. Several miners went to work in the Eureka mine at Carbon, Ind., the other day which so enraged the strikers that several hundred of them went to : the mine in the night and dumped the machinery and engine into the shaft. Plymouth has established an institution in her midst for the cure of her drunkards, and now thinks if she could secure a laundry she would stand a pretty good chance of fitting herself for good society. Well, wash and sober up, that's a good beginning. Gen. Packard says: If business men in a city knew the tales that newspa- i pers tell in respect to the spirit of their town what a shaking and trembling • there wood be. It is not necessary that j the papers say anything about it. Their ' appearance is enough. No stranger will I ever believe a city is a good business point unless they see the evidence of it in a local newspaper. There is nothing that so well tells the story as the appearance of the newspaper does. Figures even may sometimes lie, but this never does. China declares that it will take no part in the world's fair. It declines on the grounds that the United States has discriminated against the Chinese people by restricting their entrance into this country. The emperor thinks that if his people are good enough to come to the world's fair they are good enough to be admitted to the United States at other times. Chinese merchants who are now located in this country will be permitted by the Chinese authorities to participate In the exposition. A SNEER AT INDIANA. The Chicago News, referring to the suggestion that a rectification of state lines might bring that city into Indiana, says: “It may be, as claimed, that Chicago is in Indiana, but you can safely bet your bottom dollar that there is no Indiana in Chicago. The entire absence of Indianaism has been one of the secrets of Chicago's marvellous success.” This is a fine specimen of Chicago cockneyism and superciliousness. If there is a city in the United States that owes its growth and prosperity to outside assistance and to large and continual drafts on the resources, men and money of the surrounding country and neighboring states, it is Chicago. Its whole existence and career have been a continual levying of tribute on the rest of the country. Iler wonderful natural advantages have enabled her to do this; and it is hardly necessary to say that she has improv- . ed them to the utmost. Chicago has become the greatest inland city of the country and the emporium of the Northwest because the people of these sections have combined to make her so. She owes her growth, prosperity and wealth to many states, and as much to Indiana as to , Illinois. An imaginary State lino puts the city a little beyond our boundaries, but that has not prevented it from drawing heavily on this state in all that goes to making a great city. If the people of Indiana had as much State pride as they ought to have they would resent this sneer at the State and its people. For a long time they have been patronizing Chicago papers, ; Chicago stores, Chicago stock-yards. Chicago banks, Chicage exchanges and Chicago institutions generally. Their reward is in being told that “the entire absence of Indianaism has been one of the secrets of Chicago's marvelous success.’’ If Indianaism is not wanted in Chicago it certainly is in Indiana, therefore let our people keep it at home. Let them patronize Indiana papers, Indiana stores and Indiana institutions. Let them lay to heart the selfish example of Chicago and adopt the maxim “Indiana for Indianians.”— Indianapolis Journal.

1 | TAKE YOUR CHOICE. ; I Avilla News: Was the news right . 1 or wrong in declining to enter into the . details of the nasty scaudlc which re ; cently stirred up the town? Our readj ers are invited to peruse the two fol- ; lowing comments from two prominent northern Indiana papers, and then choose your opinion: I “Avilla and Waterloo have sensa- । tional scandals, but the papers do not i give the names of the parties interest- ' ' ed. As long as gingerbread editors run newspapers the public can expect crime and cussedness to increase.” Garrett Clipper. “The Avilla News showed very good sense last week when it came out in lan itrticlc ami told why it refused to । publish the particulars of a nasty scandal amm ukuvii.iiimii m" ' , town lately." Milford Mail. The course pursued by the News I was certainly not only sensible but decent, as well. It is not the province of the family newspaper to discuss the • details of nasty scandals: leave that for ' : the gossips who delight in such work. । ' Sensational reading is not wauled in ; ■ the family circle, for even those who ; ; delight in it themselves do not. care to ; have their families read such stuff. I The honorable profession of journal | ism is degraded by the publication of I such unwholesome literature. I e I those people who dote upon that kind of reading take the Police Gazette. TRADE AT HOME. The following from the Plymouth Republican applit ; t > Wals, ;t n a well as to Plymouth, and we therefore give it space in our columns and com mend its careful perusal to that class of people who think they must y away from home every time they want to buy a pound of nails or a spool of thread: Farmers who buy their groceries of Chicago concerns ought not lay claim to the privilege of bringing their pro duce to home merchants and expect them t<> purchase readily at themaiket price. The Chicago dealer ought to be asked to t ike your produce in turn for jour patronage- Ami then, When you 'wanUa quarter <> pound of pepper, you want it righ oad, but your Chieu go dealer is not a mind to accomnm date you. You have a few pounds o! bacon more than you w.d use. or some butter that you do not need. Why do you not ask your Chicago dealer to take it and pay you th<‘ cash? H< doesn’t want it. He simply wantyour <‘ash patronage, and when he gets that he is through with you. And then in the summer you are a litth close run, and want to buy groceries for a few weeks on credit. Go to y our Chicago dealm- and ask him to credit you for a while. No; he Rr- a cash business, and so you go to vour home dealer and he carries yon tor a month or so. Is it right? Os course not, and you know it! The fact of tin business is. the interests of the mer 1 chants and farmers, as well as our whole citizenship, are comm n inseparable and when either tries to get along without the other, he is bound to run to the end of his rope . pretty soon. Generally speaking, tiemerchants ot Plymouth are live, energetic. and do not ask more than a legitimate profit. They will pay for butter, eggs, and all country produce, the best prices the demand on this market can afford. This market is just what we make it. by our combined efforts. "Without it you could not get 1 along: without you the merchant and artisan could not prosper. It is the duty of every loyal citizen to build up his home market, and in so doing, to : prosper himself and assist his neighbor, as he is in turn beuefitted by his neighbor's prosperity. Our interests are inseparable.” 2N Loaves ot I‘rvad tov §l. Why bake your own bread when you can get it cheaper by buying it al- ; ready baked. From now on I will sell 25 loaves of bread for sl, one pound loaves. When you want line cakes or pies for the holidays rememb- i er that I have them. A. AI.
