JniJtptnirent. WALKERTON. INDIANA. APRIL 8, 1893. W. A. ENDEEY, Editor. The man who runs in debt. And never tries to pay. Will find his name is Dennis, On the'mighty Judgment Day. President Cleveland will open the world’s fair in person May 1. Editor Shanklin, of the Evansville Courier, will probably be public printer. The “power of the press” of Chicago needs to be run in for temporary repairs. President Cleveland does not take kindly to nepotism, and announces that his own relatives are ineligible to office. The name of Hon. Clem Studebaker is being quietly whispered among leading republicans for the governorship in 1896- ——_ Senator Harris, who has been elected president pro tern, of the senate, is said to be one of the best parliamentarians in congress. John Greenawalt, of South Bend, supervising examiner of the pension office, has been requested to take a slide down the political toboggan. Chauncey M. Depew advises young men to go south. There is no question but that the south affords a grand field for young men of industry and ambition. It is probable that there will be an extra session of congress, to convene in September. The tariff and repeal of the silver purchase act will be matters for consideration. LaPorte has decided upon new and excellent street pavement, but some of the citizens are kicking against it, bringing up all sorts of thin excuses. But then it takes many kinds of people to make a town. This is the second Methodist Conference which has been held in Mishawaka. The first one was held in 1860, when the representation was less than one half what it now is. Bishop Ames presided and Rev. A. Greenman was secretary.—Daily Enterprise. At ith all the newspapers of Chicago,, except the Mail and Times, and a large wing of the democratic party and other strong elements arrayed ' bitteriy against him, yet Carter Har ! rison pulled through for mayor with’ about 20,000 majority. It is true he had the gambling and saloon elements on his side, which were no insignificant factor, but notwithstanding this the light made against him was enough to defeat most men. He displayed remarkable running qualities, and to-day there is no bigger man politically in Chicago than the much maligned Carter. A bill for the abolishment of capital punishment in this state was prepared by a representative in the late legisla- । t^re, but its passage was not accomp-j lished, in fact it created but little in 1 terest; less, a great deal, than some of the dog laws. But the fact that such a bill was prepared is significant, and shows that there is a growing sentiment in favor of abolishing capital punishment in the state. The leaven is working and the time is coming, and it is not far distant either, when the barbaric custom will no longer be known in this otherwise fair and progressive commonwealth. To the work of its progressive men is the advancement of every community chiefly due. Those are the meu to follow, as a rule, and not the ones who from innate inclination always drift naturally to the opposing side. The latter constitute the negative force in affairs, and while they are sometimes useful as a safeguard or check against the consummation of reckless enterprises, they are seldom of ; much account in promoting public ’ measures for the general welfare of; the people. Their counsel is worthy I of consideration many times, but too I much heed should not be given their advice. One progressive, public- ■ spirited citizen will accomplish more for the advancement and prosperity of 1 his community than a hundred of such self-constituted wiseacres. He may 1 err sometimes, but, to every mistake i he may make there will be a dozen benefits. Men who never try to do anything seldom make mistakes. It is better to err in trying to accomplish ' good than to remain in indifferent dormancy. Listen to the progressive men, and give the other fellows but a small share of your attention when it comes to matters of public improvement.

It was a close call for the English language in Chicago. Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, wears a seven dollar suit of clothes in the senate. Hon. J. W. Crumpacker, of LaPorte county, is being talked of for the position of chairman of the republican state central committee. . Congressman Conn has 119 postmasterships in the 13th district to look after. The life of the average ’ congressman is not a bed of roses. Well-meaning but sometimes misguided people, who find time to look ’ for errors in the newspaper and then write to the editor, making a great ado over their find, may get an idea > or two from the Buffalo Commercial, , which says: “It is the easiest thing > in the world to find errors in even the best regulated papers, but the mistakes are surprisingly few when one r takes into consideration the time in which a paper is prepared for public * inspection. The best way to get even with some of these who are gi en to [ finding fault with ‘newspaper English’ and pointing out every little slip, typographical or grammatical, would be to publish letters sent into the press in the precise shape in which they are » sent—making no corrections in the 1 spelling or the construction. Were 1 this done we fancy that there would be less said about the slipshod style of a newspaper man.” 5 - J Tocal Uriels. I — 1 There ought to be some money in handling poultry in towns within easy distance of Chicago during the world's 1 fair, a 1 The Three I road turns over to the . Lake Shore road about 150 cars of freight each day. It is mainly meat being shipped east from the far west. * —LaPorte Argus. 01 Fulmer has rented his town ’ property to Mr. Noble, of the Walkerton Milling Co. Mr. Fulmer will move his household goods in rooms on the second floor of his business build- ' >”g“The Homan Catholic Church in America” will be the subject of a lecture in the Presbyterian church next Sabbath evening by the pastor, Rev. H. C. Keeley. Services also in the morning at the usual time. ■Death or Mrs Ed McCarty. Mary, wife of Ed McCarty, died at their home in this place Tuesday I morning at 10:40 o'clock, from a 'complication of diseases, principally nervous and heart troubles. Mrs. McCarty had been in very poor health for the past eleven months, but it was only recently that her ease assumed a serious phase and aroused the anxiety and fears of her family and irs nds. The deceased’s maiden name was Mary Roberts and she was a sister of i Mrs. Horace Woodard and Mrs. Edson Goit, and a half sister of Mrs. Dan Frame, and James and John Curtis, of this place. She was married to Edward WcCarty, Dee. 27. 1877, and to : them were born three children, one of whom survives Flora, aged 14 years. Mrs. McCarty was a member of the M. E. church of Walkerton, and she i lived consistently with her Christian professions, being a good mother and wife and kind neighbor. Deceased would have been 38 years old had she lived until the 14th of this month. In their bereavement the friends have the sympathy of this community. The funeral services were held at the family residence Thursday at 2 o'clock, p. m., Rev. Goss otlieiating. SPIRIT OF OUR EXCHANGES. The Plymouth Democrat says: “Capital punishment is brutal in the extreme and should have no place in this free and enlightened country. It is the ‘damned spot’ that should be wiped out at the earliest possible moment.” And the time is coming when it will be and the laws and custom will be looked back upon with horror.— Elkhart Truth. By a series of calculations it has been demonstrated that it costs a railroad ten cents to stop a locomotive [ and four cents for each stop of a pas- । senger car. It often happens that a passenger does not make any move to leave the train until the order is given ।to go ahead, and the train must be brought to a stop again to let the slow going passenger on. This little incii dent costs the railroad company six- , teen or twenty cents, sometimes as i much as the tardy passenger has paid. | —Ex. election" notice.
