Che JnbcpendenL WALKKKTON, INDIANA, April 9, 1892. JV, A, UNDLEY, Jiditor. There are but two ex-presidents living—Hayes and Cleveland.' The republican state convention will be held at Fort Wayne, June 28, Hr. Morrison Munford, the distinguished editor of the Kansas City Tinies, died recently. 1110 Marsaw Indianian has fourteen subscribers named Mock at one postotlice in that county. Oh, what a Mockery I LHMJBB According to Prof. Totten of Yale

college the world is now going to an end, having commenced its process of dissolution Sunday, March 20. The republicans of the Thirteenth congressional district will meet in delegate convention at Elkhart on Tuesday, May 5, 1892, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for congress. Gov. Chase has just paroled three convicts from the Northern prison. The governor is exercising the pardoning power quite freely; yet, perhaps, he does not allow his better judgment to be influenced unduly by Jiis kind heartedness, Ex-Governor Porter once said in addressing a body of teachers: “A child that has a fondness for reading has no desire to be among vicious associates. I believe that the best preparation of a boy for a virtuous life is to interest him in good reading.” The South Bend Sunday News is of the opinion that the general postoffice bill will not become a law, because it is too sweeping in its scope and is not ; based on the principles of economy, i

It does look very much that way. When you hear a fellow shouting all the time about the ‘toiling masses bfrho has never done a day's work in all his life, look out for that shouter, for the chances are nine out of ten that screamer is a fraud of great brilliancy, Samuel Parker, of Plymouth, is said to be a candidate for senator from the Marshall-Fulton district, Parker is ouite a good orator, an* -jmjnj ATlUdlUaAUoiil pud

Capt. Eden Fisher, of Rome City, Ind., died recently from Brights’ disease. He was a prominent republican politician of Noble county and a very popular man. He was born in 1840. He lost both legs in the war and for years had been a great sufferer.

The newspapers of the country are making a strong light against the proposed censorship of the press. If such a bill should pass through Congress papers couldn't publish anything but Talmage's sermons and Sunday school lesson?. —Knox Ledger. That fool bill will never go through. Jt savors too much of despotism, and jts provisions are not enough in accord with the American idea of independence. The Walkerton Independent wants to know what is the object of the Three I mapping out two lines of s. ir= vey. The Three I intends going to Goshen and Toledo. It only makes the South Bend survey at the solicitation of South Bend parties and at their cost. The survey through Plymouth will be made by the company at its own expense.-—Plymouth Republican. Thanks for the explanation. It is a little too “Plymouthy,” however, to satisfy us. । n More than usual interest will attach

to party nominations of vice-president, this year, on account of the senate being so close politically, especially on the question of free silver coinage. The vice-president as presiding officer of the senate has frequently the casting vote on important questions. Thus, i(t will be seen, that it is possible for him to control the political complexion of the senate and become a deciding factor on questions where the vote is a tie.

The Independent is in receipt of a copy of the Berkley, Virginia, Saturday Graphic of April 2, containing an account of the death of one of its editors, J. C. A. Burroughs, who was formerly associated with his father and brother jn the newspaper business in this place. The deceased was a young man of excellent character and worthy ambition, and it is to be sincerely regretted that a career which gave every promise of being a bright and useful one should be so early cut short. The young man was but 22 years, 6 months ;md twenty days old at the time pf his de?th,

Americans are said to be the finest judges of diamonds in the world. The Bland silver bill has been shelved in the house, for the present. Mrs Myra Bradwell, of Chicago, has been admitted to practice before the United States supreme court. She is the fifth woman who has reached that distinction. The Indianapolis bun has widened out again one column to the page. The Sun ia a great success, made so by its enterprise and original style of writing up things. It’s a great condenser. Several ■well-developed, able-bodied cyclones have been creating havoc in different parts of the country for the past few days. According to the prognostication of scientists we are to

have a large number of these unwelcome visitors this spring, Capt. John N. Bunyan, of Warsaw, at present treasurer of Kosciusko county, is a candidate for the republican nomination for congress. He has but one leg, but it is thought that he would make as lively a run as any twolegged man they could trot out. Here is an item that will bear repeating every week or two. It is as true as Holy writ: A newspaper can say a thousand and one nice things about a man, and he never has a word of thanks to offer, but if the opinions of the editor and the aforementioned gentleman mav clash, quite a stir is at once noticeable. Well, it is utterly impossible to suit everybody. See? CT"-— Professor Laflin, a competent scientist and chemist, declares that all cigai ettes contain five distinct poisons, three of which are the most deadly oils. One is in the wrapping paper, one in the nicotine, and one in the flavoring. The other two poisons are salt petre and opium. The inhalation into the lungs of the smoke, containing a mix-

ture of all these poisons, is continually depositing a brown stain on the lining of the lungs and throat, whence it taints the blood, chocks the circulation, and acts injuriously on the nervous system,—South Bend Sunday News. Now boys, you know what you are smoking. There is urgent need of the newspapers of this section organizing against the unprincipled whelps who make it a business to defraud them. Let a meeting be called at which the 1 mutter can be discussed,and ' f sfpFoq J® Xaminsqo,

going to demand money down or no work to strangers. Job work cash or no job wu.k. Political puffs and announcements cash with order or no work. —Bremen Enquirer. Yes, it would be advisable for the newspapers to adopt some feasible plan to guard against these sharks, as Bro. Sinninger suggests. Wouldn’t it

be a good idea to give this matter thorough attention at the next meeting of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association? The “favorite son” idea is not being ] very kindly entertained by a large [ portion of the democrat party of InL diana at the present juncture of political affairs. It is true, Gray has j quite a following in the state, but is it not principally on the surface? Down ’ deep below all this sentiment for Gray it is apparent that there is a strong un- . der-current in favor of Cleveland, i Gray, from present indications, would ■ stand an excellent show for second place, but he chooses to be top dog of J the play-house or nothing at all, < ’ Cleveland is the strongest and most available man in the democrat party ‘ to-day, and the Indiana democracy, fully realizing that fact, are loth to place any obstacle in the way that would tend to Wack his nomination.

The importance of correct punctuation is shown by the following article on the subject from the Argos Reflector: “The insertion or omission of so trifling a thing as a comma (,) makes a big difference sometimes. For instance, referring to the new county poor farm buildings, etc., we read that “the contract for building wind- ; mill and well was let to J. D, Wilson & Son, Valparaiso, for the sum of §25,022,32,” N‘uv if the building of

the windnull and well is to cost that much, what wont the house itself cost? But hold, there must be an error somewhere. Ah, we have it. There should be a comma after the word building, and this puts another phase on the question. The price includes building, well and cistern. The plumbing is to cost $4,692.94, making the total cost of pew county poor house $29,715.16. When we consider the multiplicity of characters handled in the composition of a single issue of a newspaper, the wonder is that more . errors are not made by the compositor and overlooked in hasty prof-reading ”
