£ljc independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. JULY 23, 1892. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. VOLUME EIGHTEEN. With the last issue the Independent closed the seventeenth volume and the sixth year under its present proprietorship. The paper enters upon its eighteenth volume under very encouraging circumstances. Our advertising, job priming and subscription patronage is as good as could be asked for in a town the size of Walkerton—in fact our local advertising is larger than that of a great many towns of th same size in .northern Indiana. Our business, too, is steadily increasing in all the departments—thanks to the business men and citizens who appreciate and see the worth of a local journal. It will be our aim to make the Independent second to no other local paper published in the state, and barring financial reverses or other misfortunes, we hope to put in a power press and other material necessary for the accomplishment of this purpose within a year or so—or as soon as possible. • As is our custom, we are sending out yearly statements to all indebted to the office for a year or more, and we ask that those owing us will settle promptly, as we have about a thousand dollars in good accounts standing out which shoidd be paid. This amount is too heavy a burden for a country oflice to carry, and it is important that the load be lightened. Congress will adjourn in a week or so, perhaps. Rev. Mr. Howard, of Nappanee, has been chosen as the prohibitionist candidate for congress in this district. ( I When the news of the death from jim-jams of the mayor of an Ohio town reaches the desk of the Boston editor he will say that “the chief executive oi a village in the commonwealth of Ohio has, we are pained to record, Ui. of James Preserves.” —Man., \ To close the World’s Fair on Sundays would be a moral outrage on the working classes. The musical, historical and art departments should, at least, be open for the benefit of those people , who, on account of their work, are un- , able to attend during week days. , That which is for the moral and in- , telleetual advancement of the -people cannot be Sabbath desecration. Some new and startling developments are promised in the Cronin case. It may be that others are just as deeply implicated in the murder of Dr. Cronin as are the three men now serving sentences at Joliet. A furthei prosecution of the case, it is believed, will begin soon, when new evidence will be furnished implicating persons in the awful crime who have heretofore been entirely unsuspected. Two published dem rations from Congressman Shively positively declining a re-nomination does not seem to satisfy some democrats in the district, and they persist in talking him up for con gress. Mr. Shively says that he cannot and will not accept a re-nomination, even should it be unanimously tendered him. This statement is certain!; plain and decisive enough to be understood and he should be taken at his word. The Senate has passed a bill appropriating five million dollars to the .World’s Fair on condition that no liquors are to be sold on the grounds and that the exposition be closed on Sundays. Had they left out the Sunday provision, the bill would have met with the hearty endorsement of the majority of the people of the United States, but as it is the bill cannot meet with the honest approval of the masses.

An effort will.be made to transport the famous “Passion Play,” with its celebrated original cast of characters, from Oberammergau, Bavaria, to the World’s Fair. This play, which represents the life, sufferings, death and ascension of Christ, is produced at Ober an mergau every ten years and the play is repeated daily for several weeks. The residents of that locality make gre t preparations every season for uns entertainment which is regarded by tl em as a holiday. Each character in the play is assumed by the same person every time, and by years of experience the actors have attained great proficiency in their respective joarts. «

George William Curtis, editor ot ’ Harper's Weekly, is seriously ill. The Chicago Mail advises the people of that city to mutilate the water there before eating it. According to Dunn’s commercial agency the necessaries of life have fallen in price 18 per cent in the past year. Thomas H. Carter, the newly elected chairman of the national republican committee, is but thirty-eight years old. He is a resident of Helena, Mont., where he is engaged ip the practice of law. He was born in Ohio. The senate bill appropriating $5,000- > 000 to the "World’s Fair has been de- ; seated in the house by a majority of twelve. Congress is not covering it self with sublime glory, by any means, in the dictatorial, parsimonious attitude it is assuming towards the great 1 exposition. A special from If est Haden Springs, Ind., dated last Saturday, says: “Editor Morss, of the Indianapolis Sentinel, broke one arm and his collar-bone he-x today. He jumped from the second story of a hotel in an endeavor to rescue his little girl, who had fallen into a fountain of water.” It will be all the same to the f.ivorcd few, who have plenty of leisure tine if the World’s Fair is closed on Sun day. It doesn't matter about the pom laboring people, whose only leisui' hours are on Sunday, if they don't have an opportunity to seo the gloik ■ of the great Columbian exposition. The jury in the interesting Greenlease case which was held in the fedt rai court at Indianapolis could not agree, and the jury was discharge d. The const ordered the defendant to file a non bond in the sum of $1.50", Green lease is charged with parsing count r feit money, and the case is aura considerable interest. Cal Sinninger has resumed tlm pub lication of the Bremen Enquirer which came out last week as bright and live ly as ever. One week without a news paper was all the experience of tin kind that Bremen wanted, and main of the citizens by words of encourngi merit induced M . Sinninge to t;ik< hold of the Enquirer again.

While in California wesaw Gen. Bid '.veil, recently made the prosideu tial nominee of the prohibition party It was upon his farm that the editorial party was entertained one day. Gen. Bidwell is a millionaire, and ownsabouf 35,000 acres of choice land in the Sac ramento valley. The picnic was held in a grove of 75 acres, near Chico, am--10,000 people were present. Gen. Ti l well was master of ceremonies and de livered the address of welcome. He is not running on his personality or be might get quite a vote in that state, but bis vote will be confined principal!'. ' to the adherents of the principles of the prohibition party. It is said- that when Gen. Bidwell reformed he (L# troyed $250,000 worth of grape vines on his ranch.—Ligonier Leader. Argos Reflector: The Plymouth Republican, in referring to the corner stone laying at Argos, accidently stated that it was a $1,500 building. Had the editor of the Reflector made such an unguarded statement, be probably would never have been permitted to live to make the proper correction. Mistakes of this character are of mon annoyance to an editor than they can possibly be to any of his readers or merciless critics. The ambition ol every editor is to produce a paper free from errors and strictly accurate in all of its statements, ami when a mistake of the above kind looms up after the edition has been given to the public, it has about the same effect on the edi tor’s nerves as an attack of nightmare would have on a timid woman. If you would be merciful to humanity, don’t devil the life out of an editor about errors that are beyond recall. They are always unintentional, and a never end- , ing source of annoyance in the best regulated oflices in. the country.
