^lje independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. APRIL 22, i 093. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The populist party is said to be notably decreasing in Kansas. Twenty-five thousand people visited the world's fair grounds last Sunday. Governor McKinley is to be the speaker at Indianapolis on Memorial day. The entire republican state ticket of Michigan has been elected by about 10,000 majority. The Javanese at the world’s fair celebrated the Mohammedan new year last Monday. Unfavorable crop reports caused an upward tendency in the price of wheat in Chicago last week. A new morning daily, The Record, is to be started at Indianapolis. It will be independent in politics and religion. Mrs. Cleveland will set the machinery of the world’s fair in motion

by touching an electric button at Washington. No more fourth-class postmasters are to be removed until they have filled out their terms. Such are the directions of the president. A national railway order was organized at Chicago this week. It is to be known as the American Railway union and is designed to take the, place of all railroad associations. The letter “J” sems to be a sort of mascotte. The front names of many of our presidents and great men commenced with this letter. People who are in a quandary as to what to name their infant offspring should make a note of this. The United States should be referred to as in the plural and not in the singular number. This mooted grammatical question has been passed upon by Justice Field of the United States supreme court who cites the const itu-■■gpriir-wupport of the plural construc^tion. Col. Murphy is traveling in Europe Introducing American corn as an article of food, his aim being to enlarge

- — » o j the foreign market for this great pro- i duet. He is meeting with great en-’ couragement. His efforts are aw -k of love, as he has thus far been trav ’ eling at his own expense without aid , from the government. Don Christobal Colon of LaCorda, duke of Veragua and Marquis of Jamaica, arrived at Xew York by steamer last Saturday. He will be perhaps the most conspicuous guest at the world's fair, from the fact that he is a i lineal descendant of Columbus. In I appearance be is said to bear a strong resemblance to the accepted prints by which his illustrious ancestor has become known. So long as a government gives every man an equal chance to prosper and ; accumulate wealth it is fullllling its ! mission in that respect. Men who are ; industrious and exercise economy and good judgment can accumulate at least a comfortable competence under the enlightened laws of this republic. But man is incapable of devising laws that will enforce men to be industrious and economical or endow them with equal talent for winning the goals of this life. - '

That Valparaiso reporter who cribs’ items from neighboring newspapers and sends them to the city press as special ■ dispatches has evidently changed his 1 seat of operations to LaPorte, as we! have noticed several dispatches from that place of late, a number of which were erroneous and bore the peculiar ear-marks of the sensational Valpa-

raiso specialist. Will this newspaper i impostor please subside and give a' suffering public a rest. The saloons and places of amuse ment and vice in general of Chicago 1 are planning for Sundays as their biggest days during the world's fair. Wouldn’t it have been better to have

had the great moral and intellectual exposition open on Sundays to attract people from such places? The people will be amused, if not in one way, then another. If parks, reading rooms, theaters and the like are allowed to be open on Sunday, then why not a grand and elevating enterprise like the Columbian exposition? Although it is but a little more than a week till the opening of the fair, there is yet hope that a more liberal spirit will prevail and the people be given the great advantages of an open fair.

Be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth, (hat no evil can • happen to a good man, either in life or . after death. —Socrates. A sixteen year old lad at Elkhart now lies in a precarious condition as a result of inveterate cigarette smoking. Enforce the cigarette law. Harvey, 111., the temperance town, will no longer go dry. At the election in that place last Tuesday the prohibitionists and their allies were defeated. Mr. Bynum, the Indianapolis congressman, has been keeping himself in hiding lately to escape the throngs of his constituents who have an itching for otllce. The late Elliott F. Sheppard has left a large portion of his fortune for tho promotion of r<»n /x iou S work. The colonel with all his eccentricities uno peculiar ideas was an excellent man. Dr. Keeley is figuring on selling his gold cure interests, including the formula, to a New York syndicate for 110,000,000. A few years ago Dr. Keeley was a poor, obscure country physician. 1 A three year old child belonging to ,

an Esquimau family at the world's fair died Tuesday morning of measles. This is the second death in the Esquimau colony since its arrival at Jack son park. Belgium is just now experiencing n crisis in her political affairs. There is i a great uprising of workingmen ami many serious disturbances are occur- ‘ ring. The rioters atone citizen*, at i tack the police and threaten to capture ’ the country. The Mormon temple at Salt Lake City, which was begun forty yearsago, ' has just been finished. It is one of the most remarkable buildings in the world a splendid monument to the credulity, ignorance and superstition of the people who contributed tow aid , its construction. — The strong and growing opposition against legal killing is not born of maudlin sentiment, but of a whole some and enlightened desire to deliver Nineteenth century civilization ami progress from the bane of this “Mie of barbarism.” That capital punish mont is no more effective than im prison inent as a deterrent of crime is proven by statistics. Legal killing is simply a sjiecies of barbarism handed

down from primitive ages and is sos ’ tered and kept alive by the small element of savagery still lingering in | mankind. • Many courts are deciding against labor strikes. The right of workmen ' to quit their job at their own pleasure , is affirmed, but their right to strike, or 1 quit in a body, and prevent other la borers from working is denied and pronounced a conspiracy, ami punish-; 1 ' able by law. These decisions are just i ’ Laboringmen have been carrying on ! | strikes to such an extent that they have become really a tyranieal insti tution. it is time to put on the । brakes. Laboringmen’s rights should [ not be ignored, but it should be remembered that capital has rights also i that must be respected. It is reported that a South Bend i woman and husband induced her parents to turn their property over to them with the understanding that the , ‘ daughter and son-in-law were to keep j the parents as long as they lived. The • 1 projterty was sold and now the old । 1 people have been sent away—the ■ father to the poor house and the moth-1 er to another daughter’s. The case will receive the attention of the court. —Nappanee Advance. TiiO ol<l ttlory. It, witu ever

i thus and always will be so long as parents are foolish enough to give | ; every cent of their earthly possessions, including the roof that shelters them, to mercenary heirs. Moral: Keep your little home and let your children do as you did—hustle for themselves. The idea is held by Dr. B. W. Rich-

ardson that, “the two lobes of the cere, brum give every person two distinct i brains; and that any congregation of I human beings, large or small, must be । reckoned at twice its individual number before its mental constitution and strength can be properly appraised. The two brains are never exactly balanced. They sometimes work togeth-

er, sometimes diversely; and when one is disordered there may be tendencies to insanity, with lucid intervals if the other is sound. Complete change of personality may result from weakening the stronger or strengthening the weaker. A lesson of this duality of mind is that education should have for its purpose the development of the physical and mental powers without over-straining in any direction, and the leading to mental progress in ways of unity and purpose toward gt^atness of life and character.”

S4O FOUND. Mr. Editor: —California is a lovely country, the sick get well, the poor get rich, cyclones and frosts are practically unknown. A hundred to three hundred dollars per acre is made each year on fruits with irrigation. The California Land and Water Exchange, of Day ton, 0., control large quantities of land in California, which they plant, cultivate, pay taxes for ten years, paying you S4O per acre as your part, of the profit, they keeping the balance for the care and cultivaticn. They give an acre of land away with each 4 certificates. All they ask you to do is to pay for the irrigation, which can be done in small payments each month. Tyey will send you the names of 90 persons who last year received from $25 to SSOO on one year's investment.

Jeremiah Rusk says, “Truly California is a poor man’s paradise.” To five-acre holders the California Land and Water Exchange, of Day ton, 0., give a free reti.Ai.t |<> view the property.
