£lje iniupcniJent. WALKERTON, INDIANA, OCT. 15,1892. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Milford is now without a saloon. Horrors! In Michigan about 13,000 acres of land will soon be thrown open for settlers. Dr. Charles JI. Stull, a young veterinary surgeon of South Bend, has been appointed to the important position of state veterinarian. The unusual stillness of this campaign is perhaps significant. Something may be heard to drop some of these days with a dull and sickening thud. Cholera has been entirely stamped out in New York. The good judgment and vigilance of. President Harrison and Governor Flower saved this country from a terrible scourge. Tennyson, the poet, left a large fortune behind him. What a sad thought it is that he could not leave his genius also. His counterpart is not likely to be seen for a century to come. The South Bend Times thinks there are only three things now needed to make that little city thoroughly metropolitan. It wants, first, a police patrol wagon: second, a union depot, and third, a driving park. Nappanee, it would seem, is destined to reach a population of 3,000, at least, before it stops growing. It will not have to increase its present gait much either to reach that mark in a short time. It now has close to 2,000 inhabitants. Mayor Boody, of Brooklyn, positively refuses to allow fireworks to be used in that city either for “political effect or to create enthusiasm or attract attention in any other direction.” This will shut out Candidate Weaver from giving one of his celebrated sky-rocket exhibitions in that city. The farmer who brought in a head of cabbage and placed it on the desk of a certain contemporary disclaimed any intention of furnishing a parody on the editorial management.—Nappanee News. We are not so sure about that, Bro. Murray. We presume you refer to the fourteen pound head of cabbage recently presented to the Independent. Polygamy is being pretty effectually _ footed out in Utah, and it seems that the time is not far distant when this evil will be abolished from this country altogether. Capital punishment is another “relic,” which, if the tendency of the times is to be taken as a guide, will remain with us but a few years longer to- disgrace our civilization. If every person would stop on the street to discuss the rumors afloat about him, or explain away such rumors, the business world would be at a ' stand still. Happy is he that can go along with his head erect and pay no attention to rumors whether good or bad concerning him. It doesn’t pay to add fuel to any flame. Just look the world in the face, and go along about your business.—Goshen Democrat. The leaders of the Homestead strike were arrested for treason, because of resistance to the state authority of Pennsylvania. It is true the strikers resisted, in a manner, the authority of the state, and through the machinations of the law the charge of treasc n may be sustained against them, but they are not, in truth, guilty of treason in the full sense of the term. The conviction and punishment of the Homestead strikers for treason would seem, viewed from a standpoint of justice, to be a most extreme and unreasonable measure to use against them. Talk about monopoly. If there is anything in the way of monopoly any more detrimental to the interests of the whole people than the prison contract labor system it would be interesting to know what it is. The cheapness of prison manufactured goods, if they are cheaper, does not compensate for the evils emanating from this system. Labor is degraded, manufacturing interests injured and in many cases entirely destroyed by convict labor. It tends to centralize capital and enrich the pockets of a few to the detriment of competing industries which pay their employes decent American wages. Indiana is one of eleven states that permit convict labor to come into competition with free labor, and it is to the everlasting dis-I credit of the state that it allows such i Ua evil to exist within its borders,

Since Nancy Hanks made it in 2:04, the probability of the two minute mark being reached is being freely talked among horsemen. But a few years ago the 2:04 mark seemed as much out of the question as the two minute gait does now. Take up any newspaper, whether metropolitan or issued in the village, and the stranger can readily pick out the prosperous business houses in the community by the advertisements. Readers expect to find these announcements. They are as much a part of the daily wants of the public as the accounts of fires, funerals, political events, picnics or amusements. They are business news.—Brownsburg Record. Some of the newspapers are advocating the abolishing of tin horns in campaigns. What difference would it make in case the tin horn should be abolished? Political parties must give vent to the exuberance of their spirits over a favorite candidate or a triumphant election, in some way or another, and it might as well be through the instrumentality of the tin horn as in any other manner. To put down the tin horn would only be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The Albany Times-Union says: “The names of the two great parties in this country have no distinctive meaning. We are all Democrats and all Repub licans. A Democrat is a friend to government by the people. A Republican is one who favors or prefers the government of a republic, and a republic is a state or country in which the supreme power is vested in rulers elected periodically by the people. In this country every Republican is a Democrat and every Democrat is a Re publican. The name of the new or ganization, the People’s party means the same thing. The Prohibition party and the Farmers’ Alliance are the only parties whose names indicate their purpose.” hen Barnum gave utterance to the oft quoted saying, “The American people like to be humbugged,” the wily old showman evidently knew whereof he spoke. A large portion of the people do like to be humbugged, there is no mistake about this. The truthfulness of this assertion is often seen demonstrated right here in Walkerton, as well as in many other towns. Let some fellow' with long hair who perhaps never saw a medical college, come along and affect mysterious ways, look unutterably wise and with flaming posters advertise himself as the “great Indian doctor,” and see how quickly a multitude of suckers will flock to his standard. They will fairly fall over each other in their eagerness to secure his “services,” which are worse than worthless, for, as a rule, he has no more knoweledge of the treatment of diseases than the average school-boy, and yet, they willingly pay him his exorbitant, prices, while their own home physicians who have spent years of study and labor in fitting themselves for the practice of medicine, are. compelled to wait eternally for their pay and then in a great many instances have their modest bills grumblingly and grudgingly paid by these same people. Yea, verily, the people like to be humbugged. AN INTRODUCTION in the through car service of the Wisconsin Central Lines and Northern Pacific Railroad is unneccessary. Its advantages and conveniences have been fully established. It is the only route to the Pacific coast over which both Pullman Vestibnled first-class and Pulman Tourist Cars are operated from Chicago via St. Paul without change. Through train leaves Chicago every day at 10:45 p. m. The traveler via this route passes through the most picturesque, interesting and prosperous belt of country in the Western World. There is scenery with most striking con trasts that range from the rolling prairie and the pine forests level to the widest passes of the wildest mountains in the world.
