3n&tpentanL WALKERTON. INDIANA. JULY 9, 1892. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. ""John AV. Foster is the first Indiana man who ever held the position of secretary of state. Who will it be—the democratic nominee for representative of the Thirteenth congressional district? Major William M. Kendall, of Plymputh, has been chosen the Harrison and Reid elector from the 13th district. One million dollars every twentyfour hours, is the sum it requires to run the government of the United ' States. The campaign is drawing on apace’ and soon the partisan newspapers will teem with the crushing argument of “another lie nailed.” Judge Gresham declined to accept the nomination for president on the people’s party ticket, and Benjamin Harrison heaves a deep sigh of relief. The presidential one-term idea is growing in popular favor and is almost sure to be adopted in the course of time. The one-term proposition has so many good points that the masses are becoming favorably impressed -with it and will demand and secure its adoption. The nomination of James B. Weaver the old-time greenback apostle, by the people’s party for president, will bring that pyrotechnic campaigner once more into the popular notice of the people of the United States. Weaver will not detract any from the life and interest of the coming campaign. He is quite an interesting and original Character in politics.

The time is near at hand when such announcements as the following will frequently meet the eye of readers of newspapers: “Mr. Josiah Simpkins, a life-long republican, has renounced his party and will vote for Cleveland;” or “Mr. So and So, a life-long democrat, has abandoned that party and will work for Harrison.” What do such announcements amount to? In nine cases out of ten such men are chronic pffice seekers who flop because they

A Washington dispatch says: Representative Shively, of Indiana, arrived this morning. It is easy to see that he is disappointed over the downfall of Indiana’s favorite son. “The man who says Gray would not add more strength to the ticket in Indiana than Mr. Stevenson, certainly does not understand the situation,” said Mr. Shively. “Mr. Gray is a fighter and would have stood the ground with Harrison to a finish. He is a vote-getter, always runs ahead of his ticket, and would have added weight to the ticket in that State, which is debatable ground. Notwithstanding all this, we believe Mr. Harrison can not carry Indiana, and we propose to gee that he does not, if it is in our power to do so. Indiana Democrats do not sulk, and if Republicans think the nomination gives them a sure thing they will find they have miscalculated the Democracy of Indiana.”

Our article of June 25 in which we stated, upon the authority of Train Dispatcher Maynard, that the Three I extension would be built to Goshen brings forth the following comment from the Goshen News: “The News hopes this is true, and is of opinion that eventually this will be the case, but doubts very much the reliability of the Indepeecent.” The editor of the News then goes on to give his own opinion concerning the intentions of the Three I company, without any authority whatever. lie evidently thinks his private opinion of more force than the news given by a reliable representative of the Three I company. If the Independent had simply given its own opinion in regard to the intentions of the company and that opinion should prove to be wrong, then our reliability might well be questioned. As it is, even though Dispatcher Maynard's information should turn out to be a mistake, the reliability of the Independent will not suffer, for we only gave the news upon authority of Maynard's statement. The mistake the Three I company made was in not Consulting the oracle of the News in regard to when it would be a proper time to make known its intentions. He is lavish with his opinions, but when it comes to matters of any importance, judging from recent developments, we have reason to very much doubt the reliability of the Goshen

tt~~ —— ■■■— Publishers, remarks Newspaperdom, must give their constituencies to understand that their vocation is just as much a legitimate business, conducted for gain, as that of the butcher or the insurance agent. Such a policy, rigidly pursued, will work marvels in remedying evils of which almost every newspaper proprietor complains, If a church society is to give a strawberry festival to make money, the publisher should make it understood that lie is under no greater obligation to advertise it than a member of that society is bound to stand on the corner and peddle the dodgers. His space and labor are worth just as much as the member’s time and effort, The Arizona "Kicker," DISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION. Friday night at about 11 o’clock we were aroused from our slumbers by the fearful cry of “lire!” uttered by a voice which evidently belonged to a baldheaded, bow legged, cantankerous old critter. On reaching the street we discovered the office of our contemporary in flames, while the alleged editor thereof w'as dancing around on the sidew’alk and acting like a crazy man. The lurid tongues were lighting up the heavens for miles around, and the demon of destruction was about to be let loose on the town when we found a pail of water and dashed in and squelched the serpent tongues forever. Investigation proved that the alleged editor of the so-called weekly started the conflagration by upsetting alighted candle on his straw bed. The damage was next day estimated by an insurance agent at only §1.17, but it was nevertheless a disastrous lire and a heavy loss for a plant worth only about §4, all told. But for our prompt presence and reckless disregard of danger our esteemed would to-day be a beggar. His paper will probably come out next week as usual, thomrh

Mr. Editor: As promised before in my first article on “Truth vs. Error” to give my views on Mystic Babylon, after a long delay I again resume my pen to fulfil my promise. Now kind reader I wish you to refer to Rev. 17th and 1

| ■ mv-Ul'S who have studied religious bister, I'now that this symbol relates to the government of old pagan Rome, both eclesiastical and civil, or the city of Seven Hills. Her true name is “Mystic Babylon the great, the Mother of Harlots, and abomination of the earth.” We know that the true church of God, planted by the only begotten ‘ Son of God, and watered by his own , blood upon Calvary were persecuted and became martyrs by this same pagan power even, according to old Paul, from city unto city by the unbelieving Jews, and since pagan darkness has fled before the bright rays of civilization brought about by tire reformation the different creeds and isms have sprung into existence. Look at the actions and works of the churches of the present day and compare with the old apostolic church. Christ’s followers were commanded to come out from the world and be a separate people. Look at the mixture of the church with the world. Grab bags, church fairs, lotteries, pomp and

— "O', , ’ a x show, pride and the love of money, the root of all evil, prevailing in the socalled church of the living God. Having the form of Godliness but denying the power, the apostle gays from such turn away. The advice given us in the mystery is come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. The spirit of anti-Christ which was to come is here, and prevails in all the socalled churches and they are many, her number is 6G6, the number of the Beast. “Oh !” say they, “you are persecuting us by talking that way.” Se ' did Christ and his apostles talk to the I unbelieving Jews in his first advent and even worse than this. He calls them a “generation of vipers.” “Ye are of your father the Devil and his works ye will do,” and other words to the same effect; yet they even crucified ' him because he told them the truth. I So would many do nowadays, had they ■ the power to do it? Oh ! My brother i or sister in Christ come out, my people, ! raise the blood stained banner of the ■ cross, the banner of the church of the living God and he will lead you to victory at last when he commeth to make up his jewels at the last day, and reign with his saints. As I have not the space to say more at this time will close these lew remarks by referring you to History and the Chart of life. Old Pilgrim. Paris green, pure, 22 cents a pound at J. kh.llv’H,
