<lljc .Independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. MARCH 25. 1893. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The territory now covered by Pittsburg. Pa., was once given in exchange for a violin. The president's cabinet is Presbyterian with the exception of Carlisle, who is said to lean that way, however. The New York Sun says: “A newspaper should be, first of all, a religious paper.” It should be a just one, at least. A pyramid of four hundred piar.os, connected by electricity, and performed upon by one woman, will be one of the attractions of the world's fair. A western Kansas paper says that a “tine new school house has just been finished in that town capable of accommodating 300 students four stories high.” President Cleveland believes that we are about to enter upon an era of hard times. It is to be hoped that the president will prove a poor prognostic cator in this instance. The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche presents the following names of distinguished Americans in a bunch for the consideration of the new administration, to-wit: E. Burd Grubb, Abe Slupsky, Batus Coon, and Dink Botts; with Ace High, D. Tuff, alternates. The gamblers at Columbus, this state, thought they would get even by having the progressive euchre people arrested for gambling. The grand jury failed to indict the latter, and the event 'was celebrated by holding a large euchre party. Sam Jones gets off some good things in with the bad. Here is one: “I don’t ask a man when he comes to me if he has been baptised, but if he pays his debts. I don’t ask him if he ‘jined’ church, but what kind of a ‘feller’ he was before he ‘jined.’ The Chicago Mail, although a strong republican paper, has come out flatfooted for Carter Harrison for mayor. The Mail charges that the other papers of the city have formed a combination, not particularly for the good of the city, but for the sake of running things to suit themselves. Editors are not to be barred altogether from appointment to office under this administration. President Cleveland has modified his first orders in this respect, and says that editors will, in some cases, be favored. The president’s position in this matter is taken as a guard against the cry of “subsidized press.” The appointment of L. P. Gray to the Mexican mission coming almost simultaneously with the order from President Cleveland that newspaper men need not apply for oilice under this administration, have had the effect of making Editors Morss, of the Indianapolis Sentinel, and Shanklin, of the Evansville Courier, a little warm under the collar. Both these ambitious editors, who had their eyes fixed upon lofty plums, have thus been summarily cast into the slough of despond.

The Amnesty Association of Illinois, which is working for the pardon of the anarchists, has completed its canvass of Chicago and the state, and now asks a hearing from Governor Altgeld. The prospect of the anarchists being freed at this stage of the game would seem to be very doubtful, except, perhaps, in the case of Neebe, who was sentenced for only fifteen years. The others were sentenced for life, and it is hardly probable that ——there are sufficient grounds to admit of their release now in view of their comparatively short term of imprisonment. To see people of moderate means and calibre affecting ways far above their station is repulsive to people of genuine worth and refinement. These would-be aristocrats could learn a ’ valuable lesson by following the ex- ! ample of the people they try to imitate, for the people of real culture, those to the manor born, have no need to take the pains to impress their dignity upon their associates. The nicety of civilization is to them a matter of course, they accept it gracefully as such, making all those about them feel I at ease, but on the other hand those , who never lose an opportunity to ini- ' press upon you their superiority’ over | everything around them and making! everyone feel uncomfortable, can without exception be set down as snobs and pretenders.

President Cleveland is worth $250,000. His wife is worth SBO,OOO. It is really a fight between the press of Chicago and Carter Harrison. Now we shall see what we shall see. There is a big corner on wheat. The man who can corner the wheat market against so many sharp ones is Keene. Railroad rates will no doubt be so low to the world’s fair that people residing within a hundred miles or so of Chicago can run back and forth from home each day as cheap as they can remain in the city over night. “There seems to be a fatality attached to the governorship of Ohio,” says ex-governor Campbell. “For over forty years every governor of the state has met with some misfortune. Governor McKinley will be all right, I think, in a few months.” Here is some of Jay Gould’s philosophy which should be kept in mind by the boys of our country: “A boy should be so educated that when he becomes a man and finds one line of business, crowded till there is no room for him, he can turn to some other and less crowded calling. The trouble is many are not fitted for any particular duty or kind of work, their best being only a hap-hazard hit or miss.”

It may be well enough to be outspoken and straightforward in the pulpit when defending the right and condemning the wrong, but coarse, vulgar expressions are unnecessary and do no permanent good. The time will come when loud-mouthed, abusive preachers will not be able to draw an audience the size of a corporal’s guard in any civilized community. A little less of Sam Jonesism would do the cause of Christianity no harm. Like water, humanity seeks its level, and people find their stations in life in accordance with their ability to maintain them.—Exchange. The above is true and it isn’t true. It is as correct, perhaps, as most the c lies. Men are the footballs of fate, and success or failure in life is as often the result of circumstances as of any other cause. Mediocrity sometimes wins and holds high stations in life by a favorable chain of events, while on the other hand meritorious talent, held down by the stress of unpropitious influences, plods in the humbler j walks. More talent has been bur- | ied in obscurity than ever came to light. The disparity in the relative abilities of men is, as a rule, not so great as in the circumstances which govern their lives. A Fair of Spectacles. A spectacle that shames the Nation is a wine room in the basement of the National capital. A spectacle that shames the State is a saloon in the State House. Such spectacles should not be possible in our Nation or State. —Elkhart Truth. SPIRIT OF OUR EXCHANGES.

Prof. Dolbear says there is nothing in the nature of things to prevent our exchanging signals with the other planets. True, Professor, but how about understanding the signals after they are made?—Nappanee News. The Democratic press of Indiana has a number of members of the late legislature spotted for future attention. If these gentlemen should come up for office within the next few years, they will be made to feel that the press cannot be insulted with impunity.—South Bend Times. The press may say as many mean things as they will about Isaac P. Gray, but we believe he was entitled to recognition at the hands of President Cleveland, and his appointment to the Mexican mission was no more than justly his due.—Middlebury Independent. Our laws in regard to prize fights are entirely too loose. All professional fighters should be confined in the state prisons. It is an unlawful business.— Wanatah News.

The policy of President Cleveland, as announced in semi-authentic reports of conversations with him, is almost too rational for belief. He is said to be about to rebuke bosses and politicians in making appointments and to ask the advice of patriotic citizens in the selection of the right kind of men for office. All this is in line with his inaugural utterances, but it is unI deniably unpalatable to the expectant i guests at the Democratic feast now in prospect. What moral reform will spread over the country if it should be true that the president intends to select no intemperate nor immoral men for offices under his administration!— Cincinnati Tribune. Do you lack faith and love health? i Let us establish your faith and restore ; your health with DeWitt’s Sarsaparilla. Bellinger & Williams. The breaking up of the winter is the i signal for the breaking up of the sys j tern. Nature is opening up the pores land throwing off refuse. DeWitt’s Sarsaparilla is of unquestionable assistance in this operation. Bellinger & Williams.
