Cljc 3nbcpeni)cnt. WALKERTON. INDIANA, OCT. 8. 1892. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Lord Tennyson, poet laureate of England, died last Thursday morning, and the world is bowed in sorrow. If we had to be judged by one another the gates of heaven would remain closed forever.—Ram’s Horn. If there ever were any doubts of Senator David B. Hill’s democracy they have now been blown to the four winds of heaven. He is without a doubt a democrat. I was never in a meetin’ house and never “rid” on the “kivered,” cars is the boast of a Madison county man who is 70 years old.—Nappanee Advance. What a model juryman that man would make. All newspapers like to be clipped by their exchanges, and t^e Independent is no exception to this rule. But we are not so anxious as to relish seeing our articles reproduced in another paper and no credit given. The Middlebury Independent will please take notice. A liverymen’s trust has been organized in Chicago. Prices are to be sent skyward. Like many other branches of business in Chicago the liverymen are preparing to fleece the people during the World’s Fair. Highway robbery is becoming a fine art in the Windy City. Gen. Lew Wallace’s new book was completed last Saturday. It is a story of Constantinople. The author’s well established reputation for fine literary style and high-class fiction will at once commend the book to the popular favor of the people. The story will contain much information of value to the student of history. Capt. Francis M. McDonald, of Starke county, has announced that he will be an independent c mdidate for joint representative for the counties of Starke and LaPorte. The captain is a democrat and this action has not only caused some surprise but will have the mony of the democratic situation fix, those counties. Northern Indiana can boast of as many fine country papers as can be found in any territory of equal extent in the United States.—Walkerton Independent. Right you are. The Independent is one of them.—Wanatah News. The Independent had no thought of itself when the above was written. However, the handsome compliment of the News, which is not given to fulsome flattery, is fully appreciated. Indiana’s four insane asylums are too crowded. The officers and trustees of those institutions say that more accommodations are needed to properly take care of the rapidly growing list of insane people. A few years ago there was but one asylum in the state, that at Indianapolis. There has been an alarming increase of insanity in the state, but of course some increase must be expected with the growth of population. Whether this increase is proportionately larger than the ratio of growth in population, is not stated by the officials. The news of the death of Col. James H. Rice, which occurred at Indianapolis, last Wednesday morning, will be received by his numerous friends throughout Indiana and other states where he enjoyed a wide acquaintance, with genuine sorrow. He was one of Indiana’s best known politicians. He was elected auditor of this state in 1883. He also served as chairman of the democratic state central committee for two years, in which position he showed keen political and executive ability. He was born in New Albany, Ind., in 1843, therefore being but 49 •years old at the time of his death. He had been in failing health for a year. The St. Joseph county canning factory north of this city, has already put up about 16,000 cans of tomatoes despite the unfavorable lateness of the planting season. If frost holds off long enough a great many more tomatoes will be canned. Already the amount would aggregate about twentytwo and one-half tons.—South Bend Times. All of which goes to show that St. Joseph county affords a good field for the successful prosecution of canning enterprises. Canning factories, as a rule, pay well in rich agricultural and horticultural localities like St. Joseph county. And we wish to add that right here in Walkerton barrels of money could be made with a canning factory. Who will start one? Don’t all speak at once.

The state printer has been ordered ’ to print 1,400,000 tickets for the com- = ing election. The paper will be red and is to be manufactured by the Indi- : ana Paper Company, of South Bend. It will require 50,000 pounds. f Bishop Potter, a great pulpit light of . New York, has announced himself in favor of opening the World’s Fair on Sunday. He believes in a “still” Sunday, However, as do the majority of people who favor the Sunday opening. John L. Sullivan, according to ref ports, is quite anxious to meet Corbett P again. He is now saving money with r the intention of challenging Corbett. 1 John L. expresses confidence in his ability to knock the new champion । out. 8 In a prize fight at Covington, Neb., * last Monday, Jack Keefe knocked out William Duffy, better known as “Billy the Kid, after a five round contest. He knocked him out cold and stiff. Billy died within an hour after re- / ceiving his punishment. Keefe and r the seconds are under arrest. ? The congress of socialists at Tours, ’ France, has passed a resolution forbidding married women td work outside of their own houses. This resolution is strictly in keeping with some of the queer, impracticable ideas of the so- . cialists. While they pretend to be the * great friends and promoters of liberty . they are in fact just the opposite ; in many ways. 5 A gentleman arrived in this city ■ yesterday from Warsaw ■where he took a course of treatment in the Plymouth institute for the cure of the liquor habit. He said that his appetite sor 1 intoxicants had entirely disappeared and that he regarded his cure as complete, for which his gratitude is unbounded. He said that words too complimentary of the institution or any of its attaches could not be uttered. He gave pleasing news from Americus Goodspeed, who is one of the patients at that place. He says that the unfortunate fellow is making rapid progress toward a complete restoration of his health, although it may take longer than usual, as his vitality had been much reduced. Mr. Goodspeed has the sympathy of many citizens and good reports from him will be welcomely received.—Elkhart Truth. There is no question as to the efficaC^J^this cure for the liquor habit. wSvincing proof that this liquor cure does cure. Charles Northam, of this place, who was almost a hopeless victim of the liquor habit, took a course of treatment at the above institution a few months since and came out completely cured. He is now a respected and useful citizen. Reports of cures similar to that given by the Truth are frequently to be seen in papers all over the country, and people who regard these accounts lightly or as fictitious, should be willing to see and be convinced before they place the ban of their disbelief upon this “Good Samaritan.” The man who can’t control his appetite for liquor had better throw aside his prejudice, if he has any, against this cure, sell the best horse he has and take this treatment. NOT TREASON. Chief Justice Paxton of the state supreme court of Pennsylvania has issued warrants for the arrest of every member of the advisory board of the Homestead strikers. Several arrests have already been made. Considerable excitement prevails among the strikers, as the action of the authorities was a great surprise to them. The information on which the warrants were issued charges the defendants with high treason in exciting insurrection, rebellion, and war against the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The charge of treason is not only a surprise to the strikers but to the people in general. It is difficult to see wherein the ele- ' ment of treason entered into the strike 1 of the Homestead workmen. It was a 1 most deplorable affair, it is true, but it 1 was only a strike after all, and, although ending in bloodshed, was far 1 from being a plot against the govern- * ment or a traitorous design to overthrow any of its institutions. The strikers were moved to action by a principle involving the support of their ■ families, the earning of their daily s bread. Treason is the opposite of patriotism; there was nothing during ’ the unfortunate Homestead affair to \ show that the strikers lacked loyalty I towards this government. How, then, can they justly be charged with trea- . son? Webster defines treason as fol- • lows: “The offense of attempting to f overthrow the government of the state i to which the offender owes allegiance, I or of betraying the state into the i hands of a foreign power; disloyalty, ; treachery.” Does this definition fit ' ! the Homestead strikers? Most assuredr! ly not, and the charge of high treason ; j will never justly be sustained against I them.
