&l Zhe Independent. O e s o e WALKERTON, [NDIANA, APRIL 15, 1893, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Lighteen lives have already been sacriticed on the world’s fair buildings. e o The preside;it.\‘vil] ;q\pomt none but good, experienced business men as consitls. St Louis elected a i'opubliCflfl mayor by 3,000 majority. Will wonders never cease? [ — Indiana has about seventy applications for consulships, and of this number about five will be apt to be suecessful. Since his death it turns out that James G. Blaine was worth only $200,000. He was supposed to be a b mfx&lim:miref , ; o Ih e seid that the depariment, At Washington will refuse to give the - press information as to the removal of fourth class postmasters. e A John l\l(]t,(,;l bu_;ht—and promising young lawyer of Indianapolis, has been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, Gambling and fast living drove him to forgery. i BRAT TR T No extortion of any kind will be allowed at the world’s fair, so say-the | managers. Water will be free, it is| said, and what is better, it is to be | pure, fresh and abundant. I e—— e iea The Indianapolis News su;:gests} that trees be planted along (tuur\tx'y! roads in Indiana. This, in connection | with the improvement of the l'u:uls.§ would in time make this state aver- | itable paradise in scenic beauty. l o s Hon. Thomas F. DBayard will lw! minister to England. Bayard is & man | of fine education and a fair orator,| but as a statesman he is not a brilliant suceess. His career as secretary nfi state was very commonplace. | scaianr e z A peculiar case in law is reported in , New York City. A man there carried | insurance on ceal in his cellar and ‘ burned it as fuel this winter. He put | in a claum for the amount burned and | the insurance company had him ar ! rested for arson.

The Walkerton INDEPENDENT is S Plot gun pestisaincly hilght, 08, changes.—Westville Indicator. ' Thanks, Bro. Martin. The INDEPENDENT is no masterpiece by any means, but, for the field and chances we have, we are trying to make it at least a reasonably fair publication. RS ST PRI The two Bremen editors have been roasting each other to a brown turn. Tast week the editor of the Enquirer began a scoring article with “life is too shoit,” ete., but before he got through with it Cal warmed up to his subject and gave his “esteemed contemporary across the way" a roaster to the extent of two columns, e—— Col. Conn believes in “turning the rascals out,” Where an oflice is to be filled he thinks that, as between a good democrat and a good republican, the former should be chosen under this administration. That is no more than right. If thisis to be a democratic administration let us have the genuine article, pure and unadulterated. RISV SRR LT ST Some of the newspapers are making a great fuss beeause the commissioner of immigration appointed by President " Cleveland has only been in this country twulve years. Well, what of it? If he is a trustworthy and well quali- * fied manhe will fill ‘v_'the.fi‘ppsi‘tiox’] just Y ONTH, w OVeArsS IS 10Ny el ou : to thoroughly Americanize any intenigent foreigner. The Rochester Sentinel says an indepéndent newspaper is of no use but to Kick. This is largely and overwhelmingly true n’,";e average hidebound partisan ne#spaper. The inde. pendent paper generally assails things from honest motives, while the parti san paper, shackled by narrow preju dices, is always attacking opposing forces as much from selfish motives a honest eonviction. S AT TN Some business men give as area gon for not. advertising that it ecost too much. llf advertising is of amn; benefit at all then it is worth some thing. But the expense of advertis ing i 3 so smail compared to the bene fits aceruing from it, that such an ex cuse is very shallow. DMen will spen a dollar or so every week for cigars o tobacco and never think anything o it, but when it comes to spending tha amount for something that is reall beneficial they kick high up into the air. For fifty cents or so a week : merchant can advertise his busines: guite respectably in any country news paper. :

| Many leading medical authorities |are united in the belief that cholera will visit the United States this sum‘mer, LT T SN Some of the democratie papers are nominating Walter Q. Gresham for president in 1896. 1t may be a little early to form conclusions, but it would ’ not be at all surprising to see Gresham !the standard-beerer of the democracy lin the next national eontest. e—— e ’ Tnder the new law of South Carolina | the state will have direct control of E(vhe beer and liquor traflic there after ‘July 1. All the saloons of the state | will be under the control of the governor. Liguor dealers will test the‘ ‘ constitutionality of the law, TR YSR TN Secretary Hoke Smith, of the Interior Department, is preparing for a 'general spring house ecleaning and ‘()verh:mling of his department. Incompetent employes will be discharged, and, it is said, a system inangurated for the cutting down-of expenses. - The republicans mentioned for governor in 1896 in thLis state are Clem Studebaker, of South Bend, Charles W . Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, W. D. Owen, of Logansport, George W. Steel, of Marion, Charles T. Doxey, of Anderson, and Ira J. Chase, of Dan ville.—LePorte Herald. ADT AT LA IAN A Young men should take warning from the following. A young lady at Newark, whose leg was broken by daneing, has commenced an action for damages against her partner whose | clumsiness, she avers, was the c:umcnf‘ the accident. The lawyers tell her shci has a very good case. !

A poet confounds Isaac P. Gray ‘with the lamented Nelly Gray, in these ‘ words: “Oh, m v darling Isaac Gray, down in Mexico, they say, there are rattlesnakes that weigh as much as ‘gm‘sv; yoeu are going, going, going to that land a while to stay, so you'd ‘better have a jug in your valise.” What an awful bad man Chieago's | mayor-elect must be, according to the l majority of the newspapers of that 'city. Many pecple have been so bad- | Iy frightened, no doubt, that they - will hardly venture to go to the world's ‘ fair with such a highwayman and eut- | throat at the head of the city govern‘;“,m'zlf, as Carter Harrison.

In the most unpromising of locations have towns risen and flourished by the industry of the people. It is citizenship that makes towns, and nothing else will do it. g ————— . DPolities is, to many people, the is_vnmz_\'m for dishonesty and trickery. | Lt is true that many scheming and disihum‘st men are in polities, the same as | in every other calling, but this argues nothing against it.

A ministeral association at Peru has adopted resolutions against the use of black erape as a symbol of death, in favor of only a simple church service at funerals on Sunday, and that funerals be as inexpensive as possible. The resolutions, by reason of their departure from established ct:-toms, have lcaused a decided sensation.—Valparaiso Messenger. . Well, those Peru ministers no doubt lave 00l CoRTiNIE SIS v of the question, and the resolutions \;u](.ptpd by them embody substantiany | the sentiments of the majority of the | people of the land to-day on that ques- | tion, but custom sways many people‘ | to follow rules that, had they free ex- | | lercise of their own wishes, they would | . ¢ éunhvs;t:ztmgly renounce. The prac- | tice of making a great public display tat funerals is only a vulgar notion and contrary to the best taste. The | custom should be done away with, and | quiet, unostentatious ceremonies be ! « - . { made the rule instead. How revolting ’ is the idea of having a great public ' show over the remains of our departed loved ones for the gratification of | morbidly curious people!
