@li)£ Jnbcpcnircnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA, DEC. 3, 1892. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Congress convenes Monday, Dec. 5. Natural gas is said to be giving out in Ohio, but then they have Foraker yet. The next congress will stand about as follows: 207 democrats, 120 republicans and 9 populists. At the late election California endorsed a proposition to elect her United States senators by popular vote LB hereafter. Rev. Howard, the prohibition candidate for congress in the 13th district, received 872 votes, and Rev. Somers, the people's partv candidate, received ■ 71(1 The teachers throughout the state . are moving in the matter of reviving township libraries. An appeal will I probably be made to the in-coming legislature with tliis purpose in view. The Dalton boys, the outlaws recently killed, were the legitimate pro- | I duct of trashy literature. Their fathI er says that it was the reading of bad j I novels that led them into outlawry. I The parents of the boys are highly re- | spected people. The Washington Star says: “At-torney-general Miller and President Harrison will not resume their law partnership after the 4th of March. Mr. Miller will join the law firm of Elam & Winter in Indianapolis, and after two or three months, during which time he will fix up his home there, he will begin the practice of law, not । with a regular office for ordinary practice, but acting as advisory council in ■ big cases.” It was probably a republican post- ■ master-editor who wrote the following: “A public office or clerkship, is the worst thing in the world for a man • to aspire to and seek after. If he attains it he is either in constant fear of s ; losing it by some such overturn as has just now taken place or he settles ■ down into its rut and is a spoiled man forever. The public service is highly respectable if a man does his duty in • it, but it ruins the independence, the' ’ manliness* of the individual.” Hon. Claude Mathews, governor R—eJecLjvill be in the rare, perhaps un- ’ precedentcß position of controlling the most important two offices in Indiana for a short time, says the Indianapolis News. His term as secretary of state ■ will not expire until the 16th of January, though |iis term as governor will begin January 9. He will assume the oilice of governor and then appoint his own successor in the Secretary’s office. K Just as he steps from the secretary’s office into the place of chief executive, he will either occupy both positions, or will occupy one and hold the other in the palm of his hand, as it were. The curse of slavery is gone. It was a joint heritage of woe, to be wiped out and expiated in blood and flame. The mirage of the confederacy has ■ vanished. It was essentially bucolic, J 1 a vision of Arcadie, the dream of a most attractive economic fallacy. The exact relation of the states to the federal government; left open to double construction by the authors of ■ our organic being, because they could not agree among themselves, and union was the paramount object, has been clearly and definitely fixed by the three last amendments to the original chart, which constitute the real treaty of peace between the North and South H and seal our bonds as a nation forever. J —Henry Watterson. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, in a lecture in Chicago recently, said: “And let me tell you, tonight, what I mean by the liberty of the body. It is to give to every man what he earns with his hands. And this great question of division has got to be settled, even in the United States. Capital takes too much, labor too little. Labor will not always live in a hut with capital living in a palace. Flesh and blood are no more sacred than gold, and the time will come when the law will see that J every man has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit not only, of happiness, but the right to catch some of it before he dies. I want to live until I find an aristocracy of honesty, of genen Aty, an aristocracy of intelligence, an aristocracy of heart and 1 rain, I am sick of the old kind. I want liberty for every man. Ido not believe in the law of supply and demand as applied to flesh and food. If they who fail cannot have some of the good things of this world, then I do not want anybody to have them,”

Nine dollars is what it costs to talk five minutes by telephone from Chicago to New York. William McKinley, Sr., the father of Gov. William McKinley, of Ohio, died at his home in Canton, 0., Nov. 21. President-Elect Cleveland hurt his thumb a little while out hunting, the other day, and some of the metropolitan papers nearly went into spasms over it. Oh, rats! General Carnahan, of U. R. Knights of Pythias, has secured a large building within twenty minutes walk of the world's fair for the accommodation of visiting Knights during the exhibition. The building has two hundred rooms with every modern convenience, such as baths, telephone and mail accommodations, and there will also be a restaurant in the basement. The supreme chancellor and major general will have their headquarters in the building. What of the People’s party? asks the Chicago News-Record. With its democratic allies it has carried the states of Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, North Dakota and Idaho. It almost captured Nebraska and South Dakota. It made a hard fight for Oregon, and may even have secured one elector there. It polled a heavy vote in Minnesota, Alabama and other states. No other third party has accomplished so much during the present generation. Has it come to stay? It is said that Indiana will not be represented in the cabinet. The Indianapolis News says: It is the belief of the best-informed Indiana Democrats that the state will not have a Cabinet position under Cleveland. “It is nice to talk about Gray being in the cabinet,” said a Democrat to-day, “but he will never be there. Gray may consider himself lucky if he gets a good foreign mission. Shanklin will receive a better place than Gray, but he will not be in the cabinet. Shanklin is a student, likes to travel, and will be satisfied with a foreign mission of some sort. Cleveland feels that he is not under any obligations to Indiana, I am informed, and it will be well to look for many disappointments in this state. As to M.orss, of the Sentinel, he will not ask for anything. to hi tn it will come unsought.” THE ROAD CONGRESS. The Indiana Road Congress, to be held under the auspices of the Commercial Club, Indianapolis, will begin its session in the House of Representatives, Indianapolis, on Tuesday, December 6. Several men of national prominence will attend the Congress and deliver addresses, including Gen Roy Stone, of New York, theExecntive Vice President and Secretary of the National League of Good Roads; Isaac B. Potter, of New York, Chairman of the Highway Improvement Committee, League of American Wheelmen, and Col. Albert A. Pope, of Boston, a pioneer in the movement for better roads. These addresses will lead up to a general discussion of the legislation needed in Indiana as a means of securing a better system of roads, which will be introduced by William Fortune, Chairman of the Commercial Club Committee in charge of the Congress. Legislation is the main object of the Congress, and it is hoped that it will result in the enactment by the next Legislature of a law which will aid in putting Indiana in advance of all other states in the matter of good roads. Arrangements have been made by the Committee in charge of the Congress by which delegates and others attend ing the meeting will be able to get a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip on all railroads.
