£l)c JnbcpcniicntJ l WALKERTUN. INDIANA, JUNE 18, 1892. XV. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The Valparaiso Daily Sun has a nice little SIO,OOO libel suit on its hands. The Michigan local option law has been sustained as constitutional by the supreme court. The Milford Mail and Mentone Gazette are having a little tilt. Gentlemen, it is sweet to dwell in brotherly love. The journalistic profession has received a graceful recognition in the nomination of Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, so. vicepresident. Ex Gov. Porter has written a letter to the Indianapolis Journal from Rome, Italy, positively declining to be a candidate for governor. Parson Chase, now sail in and help yourself.

It is the prayer of multitudes that the old ‘‘bloody shirt'’ chestnut be kept out of the impending campaign. The live issues of the present day are what the people desire to hear discussed. The report is current that a new evening paper of democratic principles •will soon be started in Indianapolis. John C. Eastman, late of the Wabash Times, is to be the managing editor. The Indianapolis Journal is saying some sarcastic things about the Blaine men. The Journal’s course in this respect is ill-advised and will do the republican party in Indiana no good. Frank Geisler, the new editor of the Stark County Republican, is putting new life into that paper and furnishing the republican party and people in general of Starke county a most creditable local journal. Said the preacher: “God does not look at the oratory of our prayers, how eloquent they are; nor at their geometry how long they are; nor at their logic how methodical they are; but at x ' their-sincerity, how spiritual they are.” Ma garet of Chicago, fell from her chair d^ad while reading a newspaper This should be a warning to ot;h«&«*Laroiv Herald.

ijjggg^^ aIJ .x. ^nninngn in other parts of the country, several small buildings being blown down in Chicago. The strong wind in Walkerton and vicinity on Monday evening was probably a stray fragment of this cyclone. Fireworks, torch light processions and the individuals with miraculous lung power no longer cut the figure in political campaigns that they once did. Such things are being rapidly relegated to the rear. The people are a reading, thinking people and demand less nonsense and more of reason, common sense and facts in the presentation of political questions. Who will be the’ most available candidate, now since Shively is out of the race for congress, is a question of considerable moment confronting the democracy of the Thirteenth district. Among the names that have been suggested for the place are J. B. Stoll, exMayor Scott, of LaPorte, Mayor Krueger, of Michigan City, and two or three others. The Independent is in receipt of the Starke County Democrat, formerly the Ledger, and we hereby extend cordial greeting and good wishes to the new proprietors, J. J. and J. D. Gorrell,

or w maniac. We like the style of the Democrat, both as regards its mechanical makeup and editorial contents. The paper has evidently fallen into the hands of experienced men. Congressman Shively’s letter declining a re-nomination for congress has a decided and emphatic ring in it, and lie evidently is sincere in what he says. We do not believe that he will, at the last moment, yield to the importunities of friends and accept a re nomination. It is now in order for democrats in the Thirteenth district who are ambitious for congressional honors to get their little lightning rods in position and prepare for political lightning. The Brownsburg Record makes a center shot in the following little squib: “An editor may print a thousand good things in his columns each week and never hear one word of ■ thanks from any quarter, but just let; him print one little exposure Gt’ some little wrong or one complimentary to some citizen, and he will hear it storm and thunder in less than live minutes after the first copy leaves the press.”

The democrats will name their candidates for president and vice-president at Chicago next week. Vice-President Levi P. Morton no doubt feels grateful for his happy deliverance from the dark shades of oblivion. As predicted by the Independent a few weeks ago, the national standardbearers selected by the republican party at Minneapolis are Harrison and Reid. The Hebron News, after a fourweeks’ career of unprecedented brilliancy, has lost its grip on existence, and Harry Darling, its “versatile” editor, will devote his time and talents to chasing the elusive item for the Valparaiso Daily Star. An association of individuals who have been cured of drunkenness at the Borton Inistitute has been organized at Warsaw. The association has forty-seven members and they are very active and solicitous for the welfare of ’ those who are victims of the drinking habit.

Congressman Shively, who is president of the South Bend cement company, will, after his retirement from congress, devote his time exclusively to that company. He is no doubt wise in deciding to give up public life with its attendant annoyances and thankless labors and returning to the more independent, peaceful pursuits of private life. Dr. Rainsford, a minister of New York City, is in favor of establishing , religious saloons to be conducted und- , er the supervision of the churches, with a view to attracting patronage from other drinking resorts and by J this means finally closing them out. I He believes that this is the only way of solving the liquor problem. Rev. i Rainsford must be either a little cranky - on this subject or else the idea ho propounds is too far advanced to be t grasped by common, ordinary mortals in this day and age of the world. An editor of experience and ability utters the following sound truth: “A ; writer who understands his business can always be sarcastic without being । brutal, severe without being abusive and earnest without being vulgar. The truth is that satire is always much more affective when couched in elegant - language and well turned p Tiods. Vulgar abuse is at once the most com- / mon "tuj. Mg stupidest of newspaper

writer mJ ..n.” terchange of insults. The man who descends to use such weapons against a professional blackguard is as foolish as the hunter who engages in battle with a polecat.” St. Joseph county, the hitherto undisputed realm of that patron saint of immorality the Huckleberry Queen, is to lose a distinction it has possessed for years and years. The big huckleberry marsh which occupied a great share of the county and was known throughout this and adjoining states, and which has in time past pro duced such immense crops of berries and criminals, is to be converted into a peaceful celery garden by the owner. What will become of her huckleberry majesty to whose despotic sway her subjects bowed humbly, or of the sub jects themselves, is largely a matter of conjecture; but they will doubtless sue ceed in finding green fields and pas turns new, where the regular summer orgies and bouts can be continued uninterrupted by the interfering hand of the law. We'll all miss them, but to old St. Joe county the loss will be doubly heavy.—Michigan City Dispatch. As for the Huckleberry Queen, she will probably now be permitted to con tinue uninterruptedly her reign in Michigan City, where she has been a bona fide resident for the past two or three years of that delightful and romantic part of the city known as Snarltown.

STRONG WITNESSES. Among the thousands of testimonials of cures by Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure is that of Nathan Allisons, a well-known citizen at Glen Rock, Pa., who for years had shortness of breath, sleeplessness, pain in left side, shoulders, smothering spells, etc.; ono bottle of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure and one box of Nerve and Liver Pills cured him. Peter Jaquet, Salem, N. J., is another witness. For twenty years suffered with Heart Disease, was turned away by Physicians as incurable, death stared him in the face, could not lay down for fear of smothering to death. Immediately alter using New Cure he felt better and could lay down and sleep all night, and is now a well man The New Cure is sold, also book, by J. | Emily. Dr. Kilmer, of South Bend, Ind., I ■ pays especial attention to all kinds of । surgery and female complaints. ( The Plymouth Republican has changed its publication day from Friday to Thursday.

A TIP TO AN EYE OPENERSTRANGER- "IWIo, Farmer. FARMER — Hello, Stranger. STRANGER - Where do you buy your clothing? FARMER—At the Globe.* STRANGER Why not buy elsewhere? FARMER—It is this. They have a now stock throughout. No old or shelfworn goods. New goods wear longer than old ones ami they have 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. I'hey merit my patronage and they get it. I also find them 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 price paid, I get them for half price. Only pay for what wear they give me. virtually lam out nothing. This, to my sorrow, I cannot say of other makes. I pay no jobbers’ profit, nor his heavv 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 be overlooked Cash goes everywhere, so their purchasing field is unlimited. They watch it closely and if quantity cuts any figure in the real value of goods in consideration they take quantity. They are not at all bashful in this respect. They are ever on the alert to furnish the best goods for the least money. And then they tell me if they bought goods on time (which they don't do) it would cost them not less than 18 per cent interest per year, which I would have to pay on the amount invested in my purchases. That is too much interest for me to pay. 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 then. This, I believe, is no blow, for I have always found them to be reliable. Another 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 bard times. When you reach town look for The Sign of The Globe. KWIWZ, gWAbK & 20. 1
