St. Joseph County Independent, Volume 17, Number 42, Walkerton, St. Joseph County, 7 May 1892 — Page 4

Snittpen&ent WALKERTON, INDIANA, MAY 7/1892. AV . A, ENDLEY, Editor. Warsaw has a Law and Order League which seems to be all its name implies. It closed four saloons in that city recently. Some papers are very lavish in their use of the “Ex.” It seems to hurt them to give their exchanges the proper credit. The democracy of Illinois favors the repeal of the compulsory education law and will make it an issue in the corning state campaign. Since the Elkhart Truth became an independent -paper, there is but one democratic paper in Elkhart county. That’s the Goshen Democrat. Samuel Darker, of Plymouth, was nominated by the democracy for state senator by acclamation. Parker is a ymmg man'of considerable ability and quite an orator. The following passage occurs in a popular history of France: “It is extremely doubtful whether this prince, Merovmus, ever existed at all; but he laid a sum Childeric, whose existence is well authenticated.” The Argos Reflector ollice is being moved to larger and more convenient quarters, the change being rendered necessary on account of the increasing business of the ollice. The Independent congratulates Bro. Watson on this evidence of prosperity. The Saloon keepers I.eague of Indiana is likely to become a factor in polities of considerable influence. It is said that this organization controls 50,000 votes. If this be t.!ieease it will doubtless prove to be the deciding factor in the state, election. The Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan Agricultural Society will offer special premiums at the Fair this fall for 2-year-old and gentlemen's driving horses owned in St. Joseph county. This will in no way detract from the regular speed dopartmhnt which is open to the world, but will be in addition thereto. Annie Walden, whose trial for the murder of her husband was recent!' concluded in New York city, was sentenced to imprisonment.for life. She was a very handsome and intelligent woman, but her vanity, and immoder ■ erate desire for dress, money and jew ' eV finally caused her downfall Wha* ' a warning to young girls is the fate of' Annie Walden. The assertion made by a great many papers that the new tax law of this state was passed in the interest of 'lncorporations, does not appear to be sustained by facts. If such was the object of this law why is it that the railroad companies and other corporations are refusing to pay the increased taxes and lighting the law t the bitter end; Will some one please enlighten ps on this point?

If men could realize that horses are ;iot mere feelingless, nerveless machines, but creatures of finely-strung nerves, and in a good many eases as sensitive to abuse and mistreatment as are persons, a great deal of suffering would be spared and horses would ^e more valuable and last longer. You, who are needlessly cruel to the noble animal that toils faithfully for you day after day, consider well the truth of the above paragraph, then reform, be a man and stop youi inhuman brutality. There is a power of truth in the following from the South Bend Times: “Put, a beggar on a horse, and he'll become insufferably arrogant. Let a pretender understand that he is playing his role successfully, and his vanity will know no bounds. Admit a "eprob.ate into respectable circles and for the time being he’ll pose as the quint-essence of respectability. But the true inwardness is still there. It is only housed up, for a purpose, and is sure to crop out on occasison.” The following record will make the young people stop to consider the advisability of matrimonial alliances. There were 3,235 divorces granted in Indiana during the year, and there are perhaps half that number of married people living apart in the state who have not availed themselves of a legal separation.—Syracuse Register. The result, in great part, of hasty, ill-considered marriages. If the parents would look more closely after their little boys and girls, who are cracked to g, t married ..s m- m as they are of Ih u l ibs, many cf these ill-assoi :d avoided, and the business of tin divorce courts matern.ily rednee h

Private Joe Fifer was re-nominated j for governor of Illinois. Warsaw Is making an earnest effort to get the new so tiers’ home. She offers to purchase and donate to the G. A. R. committee on soldiers’ home 160 acres of land in the vicinity which the committee may select for a home. It is said that the offer has been accepted. The Butler Review man is responsible for the following: “Stump speakers were crowding each other so closely in Rhode Island during the late campaign that one man’s foot slipped and he fell over into Connecticut, and barely escaped drowning by not falling into the bay on the other side.” Mokena, a town in Illinois, was captured and terrorized by four men who were under the influence of whisky, the other day. Thuy ■ licked the town authorities, burned a brick block, glutted and wrecked several stores, and the laws were utterly set at defiance and wantonly trampled upon. The cause of the riot was the arrest of one of the gang. Mokena must have a he*’ty lot of citizens, to allow four drunken pups to run the town in that fashion.

Elder S. Lindsey, of the Free Methodist. church, Sundayed inSouthChicugo. Ue hits been some time past at Bernice, Ind., lighting the devil and his cohorts, and has succeeded in bringing to the throne of grace V 1 converts. The elder left today lor Walkerton, Ind., where he will tackle the huckleberry queen in her native stronghold. We warn the good elder that he has untertaken a job from which, many a man would shrink. The people of Walkerton, many of them, are a sin-hardened set. especially those who reside in the neighborhood or Jim Franklin Duffy’s huckleberry marsh. If Elder Lindsey can pierce theirsin-laden consciences, encased as they are in tripple-plate armor, he will do much to advance the cause of Christianity and win for himself an m mortal crown of glory Wo commend him to the kindly care of the editor of the Independent, and if it was only a little later in the season and Jin, Franklin did not have other fish to fry on the East Side, we would try and induce him to go down and help out the elder, for Tim Franklin, whether with or voice, is huh, u. t ! p* ■-| - to travel In the straight and narrow way. lie would be a great aid to the cider in his struggle with sm-encrust< d Walkertonians South Chicago Daily Calumet

Although wq feel grateful to Brother Beardsley of the f’alumet, forthekindly interest and sympcahy he manifest^ 1:1 the above article for th< deprnv« d condition of us Walkertonites, yet it strikes us that he nei-d me hu\- come so far as Jim Fianklin's hm-klebcry marsh to find the ■•sin-emu u>icd” ■ • * he speaks of.

The government has paid s2‘>,ooo to the heirs of the three Italian citizens who were killed in the New Orleans massacre. Since making this settlement the authorities will scarcely feel justified in pressing the claim for ten times this amount of money for a like number of American citizens murdered by the Chilians.—Rochester Sentinel.

The Independent may be a little dull of comprehension, but it fails to see how the New Orleans and Chilian affairs can for a moment be considered in the light of parallel cases. The New Orleans massacre, if such it may be called, was prompted by a popular and intense indigna*'on against an organized gang of assassins and a -wholesome desire to see them punished for the terrible crimes of which they were guilty. The law, through the machinations of a number of the wealthy and influential members of this gang, had, in several instances, been muzzled and the ends of justice defeated. When this suppression of the law was repeated in the trial of tlie murderers of the chief of police of New Orleans and the assassins acquitted, it was more than the outraged citizens of New Orleans could endure. There was a popular uprising of the people who took the law into their own hands, and a quiet, orderly, but determined mob, led by the best citizens of New Orleans, accomplished what the law had failed to do, mete out justice to one of the worst gangs of murderers ever known in this country. If ever mob law was justifiable it was in this case. No national prejudice existed agaii the Italians. They were killed for >eing assassins, not because they were Italians. The killing of the Baltimore’s sailors was murder, cruel and cold blooded, for which there was no apparent motive but om ^nal yr.-yu’i. ; and a common hatred on the pait of the Chilians for the Americt 11 sailors Chili may indeed thank her stars that 'heads oi.t of A e m ;ss so easily.

No cld or shelfworn goods. New goods wear longer than old ones and they hav prices down “pat” -haven’t bought clothing as good fitting and well made as cheap for years. They have reduced the price of clothing at Walkerton beyond a doubt. They merit my patronage and they get it. I also find then reliable, honest and square dealing. Their advertised (Douglas) shoes I like, for if they wear for only half as long as they should for the pric - paid, I get them lor half price. Only pay for what wear they give me, virtually lam out nothing. This, to mv sorrow, I cannot say of other makes. I pay no jobbers’ profit, nor his heavy expenses incurred in such business when I buy this shoe. They are* the best shoe I can buy for the money, but, however, they have a full line of other shoes as well. They are a cash buying firm, a feature that should not b. o verlooked. Cash goes everywhere, so their-purchasing field is unlimited. Tbei watch it closely and if quantity cuts any figure in the real value of good.- , miEJmati m । they ta^e quantity. They are not at all bashful in this respect. They me ,x on the alert to furnish the best goods for the least money. A Jt' n thev >ell mo if they bought goods on lime (which they don’t do) it would cost them not less than IS percent interest per year, which 1 would hava to pay on the amount invested in my purchases. That is too much interest for me to pay. j Can’t afford it, yet many do- Figures won’t lie.

They are very low on prices—haven't known them to be undersold yet, and they tell me that they have just commenced. Prices will be still lower- the lowest. Trade is so good that they will make prices still lower and then make enough to fully satisfy them. This, I believe, is no blow, for I have always found them to be reliable. .Inother thing I have noticed. Those who trade there once trade there again. They like cash for goods, which is no bad feature, I assure you. It enables them to sell cheap - -that I like. Then again they have no losses resulting from bad accounts to make up from the profit of my purchases. I don’t like to pay for other people’s clothing—not in that way. Pay as you Go gets rich. Buy on Time becomes poor. They fully recognize the fact that One Price to all is the basis of confidence. What I save on purchases at such a store amounts to about 20 cents on the dollar and that is what I need these hard times. When you reach town look for The Sig'll of iio ixrTU ut>. A. D. MM . & m
