Sllje ^niJcpcn^cnt. WALKERTON. INDIANA. FEB 11, 1893. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Mr. Blaine realized $200,000 from the sale of his book. A Texas editor wants a law passed Compelling actresses to wear their clothes when on the stage. Such a law wouldn’t be a bad idea. Many of the leading journals which at first were opposed to the annexation of Hawaii now seem to look upon the project with more favor.

This is an important truth from a contemporary: “People who live only for themselves spend their days in the service of a very unworthy creature.” United States Minister Stevens to Hawaii has established a protectorate over the islands. This action is taken pending and subject to negotiations at Washington. 1 he democratic editorial association of the state recently in session at Indianapolis passed a resolution recommending Uncle Isaac P. Gray for a cabinet position. The democratic legislature will not only do its bounden duty but also add strength to the democracy by passing a fair, honest and impartial apportionment law for Indiana. A woman received five votes in Wyoming for United States senator. Wyoming is taking quite a lead in the woman suffrage question. All of its county superintendents of schools are women. It is said that a movement is on foot by the Mexican government to turn the tide of European immigration from the United States to Mexico. Let the tide turn. It would be to Uncle Sam’s benefit.

Representative Teal, of Noble county, introduced a bill in the legislature, which, the Indianapolis Sun says, was “so utterly foolish that when his attention was called to it he himself voted ■igajgstit” £~^ iU hII Uto I I

" The supreme court having denied a re-hearing in the Indiana gerrymander case, the claim of the present apportionment being unconstitutional is thereby sustained. It now devolves upon the present legislature to enact new measures. Hah-wy-ee, with the accent on the second syllable, is the correct pronunciation of the little group of Pacific islands which are now knocking at Uncle Sam’s doors. The word as pronounced by the natives is like the above with the exception that they give to the “w” in the second syllable the slurring sound of “v.” England objects to the Pacific islands being annexed to the United States. If annexation is the mutual desire of Hawaii and the United States it doesn’t appear plain why England has a right to object. But in this, as ;n other territorial questions of the United States in the past, England has overstepped the bounds of international decorum and proved herself a meddler in affairs that did not concern her A writer in the Chautauquan says that “the average limit of sustained attention in an audience is about twenty minutes, and that it is very difficult for a speaker to interest his hearers thirty minutes. It was not so in the old days when we had great orators, and it is not so now when an eloquent speaker lias a message to deliver. But, for the average talker, twenty minutes are long enough.’

At Coloma, Berrien county, Mich., a new religious sect has risen. It is called the Carterites, and believes in casting out devils and the cure of all illness and injuries by faith only. Its prime factor and controlling spirit is a crank named Carter, who subjects his followers to all sorts of queer freaks to drive devils out of them. One of his recent freaks was to order an old woman to cover her body with tar. She did as ordered and in working about her kitchen caught lire and suffered an agonizing death. Carter took this method of driving the devil out of her. Carter is said to be constantly gaining converts. The people of that locality should get together and devise some scheme for “scaring devil” out of Carter.

This comes from the Ram’s Horn: “Os course you can find hypocrites in a church, but when you want one quick you can save time by’ looking outside of it.” The sacred city of Jerusalem is now enjoying a boom after the western fashion. The completion of the railroad to Jaffa has caused the erection of three hundred buildings in the city. The republicans and Harrison democrats of Chicago contemplate forming a coalition and running Carter for mayor. Carter is invincible in his determination to become mayor. The bill before the legislature of this state to compel druggists who sell intoxicating liquors to take out a state license was killed. The bill was vigorously lobbied by the salood interests. Col. W. B. Holloway in writing of James G. Blaine in the American Tribune of Indianapolis, said the Maine statesman once said to him: “I came near being a citizen of Indiana. In 1854 I was looking about, for a newspaper and some one told me the Indianapolis Journal was for sale. 1 wrote Mr. John I). Defrees about the matter and while letters were passing between us, my brother-in-law wrote me to come to Augusta and take charge of the Kennebec Journal at that place, and I decided to go on my wife's account, but I had a decided preference for the west, and wanted to go to Indianapolis.” The Editor—“ Take thatchair, “Miss Bostin.” Miss Bostin (with a roll of manuscript)—-“Thank you, I will not take a chair, but I shall be glad to occupy it while I read you my poem on icicles.”
