JnbcpcniicnL Walkerton. Indiana, march 4. 1593. W. A. EXDLE Y, Editor. Waterloo, Ind., has a citizen by' the name of Boozer, but lie is said to be a temperance man. The supreme court of lowa holds that Bohemian oats swindling notes are worthless. A noble decision. Ihe friends ol Isaac Pusey Gray think he should be given a first-class appointment in the diplomatic service. The mission to Mexico is preferred. A bill is before the legislature to j prohibit the use of the barbed wire. '1 he barbed wire is a vicious and cruel contrivance, and the bill should become a law. Cardinal Gibbons, in speaking of ■W ' T^m^n Jfaitimore, said he is “a pontiff who loves America and cherishes her civil and j political institutions.” Ex Governor 'i hayer, of Nebraska. I is said to be penniless .and is being ; sheltered by a poor soldier in Lincoln. j The ex-governor, since his going out j of oilice, has been abandoned by all his wealthy political friends.

Emerson said: “Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them gently and they will show themselves great." That sounds well in philosophy; nut, oh, how of* m this proves un true in the common, even day affairs of life. Carter Harrison received the dem ocratic nomination for mayor of Chi cago. There was quite a strong and bitter opposition against him in the convention. Its dollars to doughnuts, however, that Carter is the next mayor of Chicago. The announcement that Hon. George A. Jenks, of Pennsylvania, had been appointed attorney-general was pre mature. President Cleveland has se lected Richard Olney, of Massachu setts, to preside over the legal depart ment of his cabinet. Olnev is no pol itician, but is said to be a k w ver of great ability and learning. The century plant at Jackson park has grown thirty four i e■ . .. - - - on Sundays? It's part of the world's fair.—Chicago Mail. There is more in the above little flippant squib than appears at a glance It would furnish a text for a pointed little sermon on the Sunday closing question.

Cleveland’s cabinet will be as fol ' lows: Walter Q Gresham, of Indiana. ! Secretary of State; John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, Secretary of the Treas ury; Daniel S. Lamont, of New York. Secretary of War; Hilary A. Herbert, of Alabama, Secretary of the Navy; Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Secretary ot the Interior; J. Sterling Morton, ol , Nebraska. Secretary of Agriculture;' Wilson S. Bissell, of New York, Post-master-General; Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, Attorney-general. Gov. McKinley, of Ohio, is now a bankrupt caused by the treachery of a friend. The governor has only i amassed a sum of $20,000 in all his career, but he has been made re- ■ sponsible for $95,000 in signing his friend’s papers, which the governor supposed were mostly short-time renewals. The governor declares that he will pay every cent of his indebtedness. His wife, who is worth $75,000 in her own right, will turn all her property over to help pay it, and the two will bpgin life anew in comparative poverty. I .1 Writing from Washington to his paper, the Elkhart Truth, Congress man elect Conn says: “The mutterings against the appointment of Judge j Gresham grow’ in depth and intensity as congressmen realize that the policy of the Cleveland administration will be of a passive character. It is conceded that no changes in postofiices will be made until commissions expire, and it is believed that the classified service law w iil be extended so as to include all department oilices. Jacksonian Democrats who believe in the old war cry that to the victors belong the spoils are particularly indignant., and while a few congressmen permit newspaper interviews to be published in which they express themselves as pleased with Judge Gresham’s appointment, nearly all of them when in private conversation denounce Mr. Cleveland’s action. The old Dutchman bad it about right when he said that politics was a son-of a-gun and the Jess honest people havt to do with our American system tin better it will be for them. ’

Editor Wadsworth, of the LaPorte Argus, is said to be a candidate for public printer. It is said that there is a growing diminution of public interest in the basebail game as wel'l as professional athletics of all kinds. Editor Dan McDonald, of the Plymouth Democrat, is said to be fishing , for (he position of second auditor of ■ the treasury at Washington. it we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man s lite sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.—Longfellow. Bill Nye proposes to write a history ot the I nited States. “It will contain a few facts," he says, “as it is almost impossible to keep them out, but there will be only enough for a spinal column. It will be the first real book 1 have written.” It greatly conduces to the enjoyment of life to make it a rule and a habit to keej) pleasant and cheerful matters on the surface for ourselves and others -and to bury and forget, as far as possible, the troublous ones.

According to an exchange Chicago is the largest inland port in the world I’he tonnage of vessels arriving and clearing at the port reached ten millions the past year, according to Chief Justice Field of the I'nited States Suprmne Court. Its harbor is as large as that embraced by all the mercantile docks along the Thames in London; is much larger than that included in the famous docks and basins at Liverpool; and is twice that of the port of Mar seilh s, and nearly if not quite equal to the pier area along the water front of the city of New York. And the ar rivals and the clearings of the vessels at the por! exceed in number those of New York, ami are equal to those of New N ork and Boston combined. Hon. C. G. Conn in Elkhart Truth: “1 he brevet congressmen are begin ning to assemble at the capitoi to learn how to legislate ami to become! acquainted with full Hedged mem I hers. There must have been at least , twenty congressmen elect in the house of representatives today and it is sate to say that each of them was impressed with the fact that lie had no sinecure.

i reform it in congress and it will re ! quire both study and patience to meet \ •the demands of the people without i jeopardizing their interests. Both the; tariff and finance questions have more ; । quips and turns than the ordinary ' mind can compass, and the more these । questions are studied the more intricate | and perplexing they become.” Indianapolis News: Now is the t ime when the annual steal begins in earnest. This dots not refer to leg islative bills, but to the universal pilfering which goes on in the last , days of every legislative session. The ' mahogany desks are fastened to the I i floors. They will not be stolen. Die- ; tionaries, legislative reports, revised! statutes, lamps and other similar prop- 1 erty is "plunder” in these days. One , may see at any time almost clerks, ' members of the Legislature, reporters, I I door keepers and spittoon cleaners I . making their way from the building. ; with pads of writing paper, pen hold-1 ers and pencils. Nearly every man on j the streets has a new knife. It all | comes under the head “stationery,” ■ and comes fn m the Legislature. It is all “fat” for the state printer. SPIRIT OF OUR EXCHANGES. •It looks sometimes as if the charge were true that every man has his price. Gresham's seems to be a cabinet appointment.— LaPorte Herald. There arc about 2,000 white people on the Sandwich Islands and about 90,000 natives and Chinese. Those ! who favor annexation seem to think ! we need a little more race problem to i solve in this country.—La Porte Argus. I Since being admitted into the Union I Indiana has furnished one president, , I two vice-presidents, three speakers of ! the house of representatives, two sec- , retaries of the interior, one secretary of the navy, two postmaster generals and one attorney general.—Mentone i Gazette. Within the Indiana state prison wall there are several lawyers and i preachers but no editor. Within the pearlv gates over yonder this will be ' reversed. There w ill be “piles” of ed- ; itors there, while the lawyers and i preachers will be in the minority by a large majority.—-Albion New Em. . j Now what’s the use in republicans , and democrats ranting and raving because Gresham is going into the cab • inet. Is it a crime for a man to change his politics? Granting that u Gresham has changed his political t faith, is he doing any more than did Gray and Porter? To anybody who is not rabidly partisan it isn’t apparent e how Gresham’s appointment and ace ceptance could be injurious or unjust । to anyone.—lndianapolis Sun.

The LaGrange Standard says that “Brook li. Bowman, formerly editor of the Kendallville News, has received an appointment in the railway mail service as postal clerk, and will be given a mail run on the Big Four railroad from Cincinnati to Chicago.”

It having ^been reported by the (Tawfordsvile Journal that W. Fred Pettit’s condition in the northern prison w;m miserable and that he had been laid up for four or five weeks, the Michigan City News hastens to correct the statement by saying on the authority of the prison physician that Pettit is in very good health and has missed but one day from his usual avocation in several months.
