Snikpcnihnt. HALOBTON, INDIANA, JULY 1, 1893, W. A. EXDLEY, Editor. The 4th will be observed in Walkerton with a very neat celebration. James Gordon Bennett will conduct the New York Herald hereafter on the £o • opera tive pl an. The New York Sun is pronounced by good authority to be the greatest paper, editorially, in the world. Gov. Matthews is proving himself a wise, just and thoughtful governor, and Indianians are proud of him. A physician has discovered that the stoop of bicyclists when riding is apt is bicy cilstarum. to There seems to be a better and more hopeful situation in financial circles nil <>vor the country than there was three or four weeks ago. The Chicago postoflice building is said to be in an unsafe and dangerous condition. It has been regarded with

more or less suspicion for several years. ' The Capital National bank of Indianapolis has resumed business. It 1 was one of the banks that went down , * with the general crash a few weeks/ ago. i 1 — , Dr. Thomas, one of our most eminent divines, held services at the world's fair grounds last Sunday afternoon, assisted by a choir of 500 voices. Divine services will no doubt be one of the j features of Sunday opening throughout the fair. Senator Leland Stanford, of California, died one day last week at his home in Menlo Park, that state. The name of Leland Stanford will be as e during 1 in monuments of stone because of his 1 generous endowment of the great university which bears his name. A horrible affair is reported from Milan, Tenn. A mob strung up a man supposed to be Lee Benedict, a murderer, but after he was dead it was discovered that the wrong man had been lynched. Jim Harris was the innocent victim. Benedict, the man the lynchers were after, was in jail heavily guarded. The above incident serves to illustrate one of the great evils of lynching. The Indiana building at the Columbian Exposition eminently fills the bill for which it was intended - 1 headquarters and a place of rest for ' weary Hoosiers. The structure with its broad veranda, reading room, lunch ’ room, and other conveniences, is a veritable haven of rest and comfort. A few newspapers, which seem not to have the right idea of the purpose for I which the building was erected, speak , lightly of it, as they think Indiana's industries should have been represented there. The state, industrially and ; educationally, is thoroughly represented . in the various departments of the great exposition. The orthodox church exposes it- : self to great peril when in these years , it hastens to limit the arena of free 1 thought. The creed should be as bro: d as possible so as to permit the clergymen to b$ the children of a great intellectual liberty. All the influential literature of the world has uttered its eloquence in only the air of a mental republic. Men restrained by useless dogma are nothing but men in a cage. Men of power will cease to enter the pulpit when they must leave their brains in the vestry along with their overshoes and the umbrella. The pulpit must be free to follow’ new truth and new beauty’.—Pkof. Swing. —. , ■ -1 Be kind to your neighbor, and lend him your paper to read if he does not! take it, and don't humiliate him by compelling him to ask for it, but lay it where he can find it the morning after publication day. Don’t be so un-I charitable as to bide it because he is 1 as able to pay for it as you are. Un-1 doubtedly he has private reasons for ' not taking it. Perhaps he has conscientious scruples against paying $1 for a paper he can lead for nothing. Perhaps he is mad at the editor for having said too little or too much about him or the mean thing mayhave shown his ingratitude for long unpaid subscriptions to which case “the paper don’t amount to anything, and he won’t have the dirty thing in the house.” But he wants to read it all the worse on account of that, just to hear what the fooi has to say. He has a right to think it not goodenough to pay for it. So humor the fellow and give him your paper to read. You may get your back up at the editor sometime and want the compliment leturned. —The Tourist.

Friday, June 16, was the anniversary • | of the battle of Bunker Hill, where - 1 “noble Warren fell.” World’s fair visitors in Chicago spend about one million dollars every day in the city. Money matters are said to be very’ easy there on that account. Two Jews were hanged recently’ in Pennsylvania. It can be said to the ■' credit of this race that this is the first time a Jew has suffered the death penalty in America. A sensation was caused at Kendallville by the closing of the First national bank at that place on last Friday, i The bank was supposed to be proof against all emergencies. The present style of balloon sleeves on ladies’ dresses must be wicked, as it is condemned by the bible.

when talking. The Michigan Central railroad company has notified its agents and operators that they will be given a vacation of five davs on account of the world's ■ ' fair. Here is a corporation that mani- ’ fests strong symptoms of having a soul. The National Editorial association has done one service to the profession ■ of journalism which should stamp it a ' great success, if it had accomplished ' nothing else and had nothing more j in view. It has demonstrated that I the country editor is a man of influ- ‘ ence, and that the country papers area i great power in the land. The busi- j ness of the penny a-liner and the i । funny man on t ie metropolitan press I who wrote jokes about the country editor is no longer profitable. The j country editors are a band of brothers and sisters, and when they stand together they can wield more influence than any other power in the country. The Newspaper Union. — Newspapers that are kicking so much about hard times and laying it all to the new administration are doing a very unwise thing. Such harp ing only serves to increase the embarrassmeut of the situation. With the advent of a new administration there is naturally a general lack of confidence in financial circles throughout the land, but instead of encouraging 1 this feeling of distrust and thus mak I ing matters still worse, the newspapers i in question w< uld be discharging a bet- ■ ter duty to the public by striving to rei store this shaken confidence. It is not !so much a lack of money as it is a lack of confidence that is causing the present stringency in financial matters. It should be the aim of every newspaper to restore a better feeling. Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, has pardoned the three anarchists- Neebe, Fielden and Schwab—who were placed in Joliet prison about six years ago for being implicated in the Haymarket riot. The three men were released upon the condition that they eschew all revolutionary associates. This they readily assented to, as they have be-1 come convinced that forcible measures are wrong. As to the justice of the governor's pardon there is a division of opinion among newspapers and individuals all over the country, the question admitting of strong argument on either side. While the preponderance of public sentiment is no doubt against the governor’s action, those who regard it as right have unquestionably good, sound reasons for taking the position they do. It is urged by the latter, and it must be admitted with some degree of truth, that much of the evidence upon which the anarch- ' ists were convicted was of a doubt- | , ful character, and that they were ' not fairly tried. It was not clearly shown that they were the murderers of tiie nine policemen at the Haymarket, and had it not been for a packed jury selected to convict, such a charge would never have been sustained against them. They were convicted because they were anarchists, in response to public clamor, and the vital question, whether they were j ■ or were not guilty of the murder with ' which they were charged, did not seem . . to concern the prosecution, court or 1 jury as much as it should to in-I sure a fair and impartial trial. If the points here cited be well founded then what about the anarchists’ associates ! who were hanged? SPIRIT OF OUR EXCHANGES. The average man of political prominence who imagines himself self-made would be bankrupt if compelled to pay ■ what he really owes to the newspapers.—Nappanee News,
