independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA, JULY 30, 1892, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Congressman Shively voted against plosing the AX orld’s Fair on Sundays. Chili has paid $75,000 indemnity to the United States for the men killed in the Baltimore affair. The directors of the World’s Fair have expended up to date about seven and a quarter million dollars. To read the arguments indulged in by some of the partisan newspapers relative to the Homestead strike is calculated to give one “that tired feeling.” The republican and democratic candidates for congress in this districtDodge and Conn—arc residents of the same city, Elkhart. This is rather an odd circumstance. The St. Joseph county democratic convention has been postponed from Aug. 6to Sept. 3. This will give them a two months’ campaign, which is plenty long enough for any party. Protracted campaigns are tiresome. It is claimed by New York papers that the attempted assassination of Manager Frick of the Carnegie works was the result of a conspiracy of New York anarchists and that Berkmann was sent by them to Pittsburg to comjnit the deed. Week before last we wrote a “heavy” editorial on “Narrow Minded Cynics,” and lo and behold! the following week the Middlebury Independent wrote an article on the same subject, using the same ideas and language, word for word, that we did. We call attention to this as a remarkable coincidence. Ashley, the new town on the Chicago extension of the Wabash railroad, has a newspaper, the Times, it is devoted to the booming of that town. At present it is about the only business in the place, but having the promise of the Wabash shops the place will no doubt soon be a thriving town of at least four or five thousand inhabitants. The cholera scourge has already fastened its deadly fangs on western its ravages clI’C ICiAIVAv. ♦monster is to make a spring across the I and it is feared that by next summer pr the summer following America will be experiencing the horrors of this deadly scourge. The manufacturers and other large employers of this country who import cheap foreign labor are more responsible for the spread of anarchism in the United States than any other one cause. Close the gates of Castle Garden against the off-scourings, the an-archist-breeding class of Europe and in a few years this country will be practically rid of this undesirable class of citizens. Our immigration laws need some attention from congress. The democrats accuse Frick of being a republican and the republicans accuse him of being a democrat. The Pinkertons are also charged with being democrats, as are also the vice-chair-man and other high officials of the Carnegie works. It is difficult to see, however, where the logic comes in in this kind of argument, made by the democratic and republican newspapersThe fact of Carnegie being a republican or Frick and the Pinkertons being democrats cuts net the slightest figure with the strike. Politics had nothing to do with causing the affair, any more than it had with causing the miners’ strike in Idaho. The chronic “newspaper starter” has been feasting his eye on Garrett, and the Clipper of that place contains the following good advice: “We have nine newspapers in this county. The Clipper has a circulation running from ten to tw’elve hundred. Abopt five hundred of these subscriptions are in Garret and close to three hundred at Auburn, the remainder being scattered over the county. A glance at our advertising columns will convince any newspaperman that the place is not profitable from this standpoint. The citizens of the entire county are overburdened with local newspapers and accordingly -—-- subscription list would be confined principally to Garrett alone. If he could secure fivehundred names and as much advertising as the Clipper he could not publish a paper here three months without sinking money. Rents are high, job work nothing to speak of and it would require two compositors to do his work. If we were placed in a similar position the shop would be locked up to-morrow. We are capable of doing all cur own labor, have no rents to pay and our patronage from other towns is nearly gqual to that in Garrett.”

It is claimed that Idaho is the only * state in the union the origin of whose - name cannot be satisfactorily accounted for, 1 The people’s party of Elkhart coun r - ty will meet in Goshen August 6 to t nominate a county ticket. This will . make four full tickets in that county. ’ The majority of the great news--1 papers, as well as many of the leading ministers of the country, are strongly r in favor of opening the World’s Fair , on Sundays. Congressman Shively recently de--1 liverefi a speech on the floor of the 5 house on “Duty on Tin Plate, etc.” . The speech is published in the Con- » gressional Record for distribution. The state campaign has opened in _ earnest. This is apparent from the 3 fact that Gov. Chase is accused of eatj ing pie with a knife and it is said that Hazel Brush, Claude Mathews’ farm, is haunted. t The LaPorte Herald says: “In this i bad world everybody who submits to . being kept down always is kept down.” There is more truth than poetry in the Herald’s philosophy, as sure as you live. Politics cuts no figure in the Homestead strike, and it is useless for editorial hypocrites to try to deceive intelligent people by seeking to make political capital out of the unfortunate affair. It is said that in some of the great wheat countries of Eur^e the crop is below the average this year. If this be the case the prospects would seem to be good for an advance in the price of wheat before snow flies. Berkman, the fellow’ who attempted to assassinate Manager Frick of the Carnegie works, is a fanatic and crank of the Guiteau type. His character, as described by the newspapers, is very similar to that of the slayer of President Garfield. A morbid yearning for notoiiety is Berkman’s ruling passion, as it was with Guiteau. THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. The Democrats of the Thirteenth district held their congressional convention in Mozart hall, Michigan City, S -v — 7 ednesday■ The meeting was veryeßWffglastTf! and a iarue ~ ~ ~ . . . 4 ~ all of the district was present. The names of Mr. Bertheny, of Stark, C. G. Conn, of Elkhart, and H. E. Wadsw’orth, of LaPorte, w r ere presented to the convention, the latter gentleman being nominated in an able speech by Senator Chas. Reeve, of Marshall county, whose entire delegation, with the exception of two votes, was for Mr. Wadsworth. LaPorte county divided on the candidates, Wadsworth receiving fifteen votes and Conn nine. Mr. Conn had some little opposition from his qwn county, his recent attitude in the Elkhart city election in which he changed his paper, the Truth, to an independent paper, and opposed the democratic candidate for city marshal, having made him unpopular with a few democrats in his city and county. However, this opposition to Conn was of a very feeble character, and the gentleman was nominated on the first ballot amid great enthusiasm. Mr. Berthney received seven votes—five from Stark and two from Marshall. Mr. Conn’s nomination was made unanimous. The nominee was then escorted from his hotel to the hail and addressed the convention in a nice little speech. The senatorial and judicial conventions were then held in the same hall, •Vol Bingham, of Mishawaka, receiving the nomination for joint senator from St. Joe and Stark counties. At the judicial convention for the nomination of a prosecutor for LaPorte and St. Joseph counties, quite a wrangle ensued among the delegates and no candidate was selected. Another meeting to decide this matter will probably be held at an early date. J. B. Collins, of Michigan City, w r as nominated for joint representative of LaPorte and Starke counties. The delegates from this place were as follows: Samuel Wenger, congressional; Joseph Fitzgerald, judicial; J. J. Miller, senatorial. They were accompanied by Attorney S. J. Nicoles, Henry Smith, Henry Hudelmyer, Enoch Simmons and William Mull. In the selection of Mr. Conn for their standard-bearer the democrats of the Thirteenth district have no doubt acted wisely, as Mr. Conn possesses elements that will make him a strong candidate. He will poll quite a labor vote, no doubt, as well as receive a good support from the temperance clement. He will make an active and look out a little for that other fellow as the latter may come a great Dodge on him.
