&lje Jniicpcnbcnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA. NOV . 19, 1892, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The republican plurality in Ohio is 1,054. Janies G. Blaine will write another book. A woman, Ella Knowles, has been elected attorney general of Montana. Editor McDonald, of the Ligonier 1 Banner, has been elected to the state ’1 senate.

The prohibitionists think they have made a gain of fifty per cent in this district. Charles 11. Hoyt, the well-known writer of comedies, was elected to the New HampshireTegislature as a democrat. Conn’s majorities for congress in the four counties below are as follows: LaPorte, 994; Marshall, 595; St. Joseph, 863; Stark, 170. Total, 2,592. The immigration question is becoming one of great importance. It is a knotty problem to solve and the political party that assumes the responsibility of deciding it—and does it wisely and well in the best interest of America--will immortalize itself, but at the peril of its own destruction. Pugilism pays better than journalism, the law, medicine, or any of the learned professions. Just think of it! I A great big hulk of muscle and flesh ■ with scarcely enough brains to connt 2 | and 2 are 4, making from SSOO to $5,000 in two or three hours. It’s a I sad commentary upon our boasted J civilization. Anarchist Oscar Neebe will be pardoned from Jolliet prison, it is believ-e^-ofi Thanksgiving day. A petition for his release has been signed by nearly every prominent citizen in Chicago. There was always considerable doubt as to. his guilt in the bomb- “ Growing conspiracy. About all the charge that could be brought against Neebe was that he had marched in a J parade with the anarchists in Chicago once or twice. General Master Workman Powderly of the Knights of Labor is pronounced in his views upon the immigration £ question. In commenting upon this i momentous problem he recently ex- | pressed himself as follows: “Ther | should be a fixed term of years; ten B would be enough, during which no immigrants should be allowed to land F with a view to remaining unless each E could prove that he had sufficient means to sustain himself and those det pending upon him for one year.”

I The popularity of Sockless Jerry Simpson seems to be on the wane. It is well that it is so, for nothing has ever yet emanated from him that was of much account. He lacks statesmanly qualities, his chief merits being cast-iron cheek and a great capacity for punching wind. None but men of the broadest culture, gentlemanly and modest mien, and having a decent regard for tlie feelings of others should ever be allowed to represent the peog pie in the halls of congress. The Western Uundertaker, a periodK i ical published in the interests of funI eral directors, makes the following sensible suggestion: “Winter is now upon us and we feel the importance of again urging the necessity of funeral diI rectors insisting on all persons remaining covered while standing at the I grave. Hats should be left on, or I skull caps used. Brief services should Kn be insisted on, for it is generally conL| ceded that at every single burial in I cold weather ten people contract se- | vere colds. A word from the director K’S will permit every person present to reI ■ main covered and feel no embarrass- ™ ment.” The directors of the world’s fair have passed a resolution favoring Sunday opening. The resolution is in the nature of an appeal to congress to amend the act of the last session of congress and permit the fair to be open on Sunday. It is the intention of the directors, and has been from the first, to have a still exhibit on Sunday; all machinery is to be shut down and nothing but the departments of arts, sciences, etc., are to be open to visitors. The object of the world’s fair is the moral and intellectual improvement of men, and there are a large number of good people, and we may say the majority, who can see no harm, but on the contrary, much good, in opening the fair to the thousands of visits rs who will be in the city during the exhibition.

Let us Hope for Happiness Beyond the Grave. The all-wise Creator does all 'things well. The universe shows a great plan and man seems to be the most important factor of that plan. It would not seem to be consistent with its grandeur that our brief existence here should be the end. It is certainly more reasonable to think that we have a future life than that we have not. There must be some place where the inequalities of this life will be “evened up.” It is not right that hypocrisy and depravity should always

have the best of honesty and virtue, and they will not. If there is a God, he must be a just one, and has pro-

vided a world that sets this right. The following article in favor of a future . life is a strong one, the only stumbling block we can see in it being that the writer, in going to nature for his evidence, must necessarily endow the socalled dumb animals with the attribute of immortal life, the same as man: Here is what he says: “There is something in a grain of corn when planted, which controls the shape of the stock, color of the foliage, and makes it distinct from all other cereals. That something causes it to grow up a stock of corn and not a fruit or a root crop. The farmer knows when he plants his corn that he will not dig potatoes from the seed. This same grain of corn can be separated by the chemist into its constituent elements. But no chemist can put these together again with the power of growth, and a life and law which makes it grow after its kind. Why not? There is a something—a mysterious life and force in the grain of corn, which in a sense we may call the soul, without which it will not grow. What is that something? The answer involves a mystery beyond the power of man to solve. When searching for the answer we tread along the path of the great unseen. There is a seen and unseen and the latter seems to touch and give force to all the seen. Take two tiny apple seeds. They are so like in size, shape and color, that we can distinguish no difference. A chemist’s analysis would discover no difference in their elements. But plant them and one becomes an apple tree, bearing green sweet fruit and the other bright red, but'sour apples. Now what made this difference. It was the something unseen which dwelt in the seed at planting. Everywhere we find the same fact. Nature is dual. It has ‘ vrhafe auu and understand, and it has woncannot see and do not understand. Is this not in free harmony with the gospel teaching that there is a material and an immaterial realm? That there is this unseen, in all, over all and back of these things now beheld. And finding this quality—this body and spirit in all the universe, shall we deem it incredible that it is also true of man? The gospel teaches an outer and inner man, ami that there is a fleshy body, and a spiritual body. We are not now revealed to one another, but the time is coming when we shall see the unseen and know by actual experience, the life and state thus revealed, as the real and actual, and the present one, the visionary, and but the shadow of the real world and life.”

Ohio and California, the returns show, were after all saved to the republicans.

King Behanzin, of Dahomey, and his army of Amazons have been overthrown by the French expedition under command of Col. Dodds, and it is believed that the Dahomeyan capital has been captured. This kingdom was founded in the seventeenth century, the natives being pure negroes and living in the most abject barbarism. The overthrow of this despotic government is a distinct gain for civilization.
