@ljc Jnbcpcniffni. WALKERTON, INDIANA. AUG. 12. 1893. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The world’s fair is more than half over. The special session of congress is apt to be a “howling success.” There is a scheme on foot, to organize an insurance company to protect depositors of banks. The Chicago silver congress in substance decided in favor of free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1. Gold is returning to this country from Europe. This is encouraging, as it is taken as an indication of a return of confidence in financial circles. A silver dollar with a dollar’s worth of silver in it would be two inches in ‘diameter, and about two of them would make a pocket full.—Lal’orte Herald. Some editors who never let an opportunity go by for a newspaper light have a habit of loudly denouncing the same thing in other editors. Such inconsistency is a little amusing. Prof. Wiggins maintains that telegraph wires cause drouth, that the atmosphere can not absorb moisture unless it is charged with elect ricity, and that the tendency of electricity is to collect at the equator, and gives this as a reason for the frequent rainfalls at the equator. He believes, therefore, that in order to avoid drouths all electric wires should be put under' ground. The South Bend Humane Society is making a determined fight against the practice of docking horses’ tails which prevails largely among the “swells” of that city. This custom is as cruel as it is senseless, and should be abolished everywhere. The Creator no doubt knew what he was about when he made horses’ tails as they are now, and it is presumption for man to suppose that he can improve upon the arrangement. Chauncey M. Depew, the great railroad magnate, regards the present | financial scare as very absurd, and says, but for this foolish fright, the present year would have been one of the best in our history. He holds that the “business or Ure.a.n un j ÜbiHuo duiihu a *.. k,. _ j ^'777.71 is everything in the present appearance of our crops and other resources of national wealth to show’ that our prosperity is based on good foundations. The repeal of the silver purchase clause will release money here and bring money from abroad; it will do infinitely more, it will permit the use of credits which are now so fearfully curtailed and which constitute 95 per cent of the currency of the country.” Lee Jones, sentenced to the Prison South for life, for murder, by an honest jury and judge, has been turned loose by an ignorant governor. That is infinitely worse than mob law! Mob law rids the country of such cattle, while a fool governor turns them loose to ply their murderous vocation upon an innocent people.— Public Press. From the tenor of the above article J we should judge that it comes from a . paper that is a blood raw advocate of i capital punishment. It is about as i sensible and logical as some of the arguments we see emanating from such sources. Does any intelligent person suppose for a minute that Gov. Mathews would be fool enough to pardon a life convict without having ample reasons for so doing? The fact is, Lee Jones was proven to be innocent of the crime for which he was convicted, and Gov. Mathews, being human, could do nothing else hut grant a pardon. The apprehension that long-con-tinued industrial depression will afflict the country as a result of the existing financial troubles is not grounded on sound logic, says the Chicago News Record. These troubles are not the outgrowth of oversupplied markets. That is nowhere so manifest as in the price of wheat. There is no surplus stock of wares that will have to be consumed before the mills and the factories can be started upon full time at the usual wages. Buyers are not reluctant to buy, but money is wanting to facilitate the movements of trade. The great commercial machine runs heavily and slowly for want of the lubricant -money. This condition cannot be maintained. The banks cannot afford to hoard money. The caprice of distrust like every other craze, must, be shortlived, and all the shorter because olits excessive folly.

August 22 is Indiana day at the ’ world’s fair. Now watch some of the - smarties of the Chicago press, j. । । _ ..... The mayor and a councilman of Michigan City are alleged to have bought beer after the legal hours of j, closing saloons, and have been summoned as witnesses in a case against the saloon keeper. A local item in an Indianapolis paper states that Senator Turpie left Monday » for Washington to attend the special ! session of congress. The report floating around in the press to the effect that the Senator was dangerously sick and would not be able to take part in the special session was no doubt an exaggeration and started by someflickerty headed correspondent. President Cleveland's message was sent to Congress last Tuesday, Aug. 8. The president deplores the present financial condition of the country, and advises congress to take prompt action by passing measures for the relief of the present stringency. The tariff question, he intimates, is of secondary importance as compared with the money question, and he believes should be postponed until the latter is properly disposed of. A dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal says: The directors of the World's | fair are considering the advisability of continuing several of the most attrac- : five departments for another year. I The departments are those of line arts, fisheries and horticulture, with prob ably some others. Ever since the fair was opened it has been suggested that the steps be taken toward the continuance of the exposition for another year. It was argued that six months with its varying weather and other obstacles was too short a time to accommodate all who wanted to see the display. So strong was the argument for an 1894 fair that, the exposition officials gave the proposition serious consideration. Nothing definite, however, has as yet been done in the fnat ter nor will be until President Higgin botham returns to the city. We heard a traveling man heaping all the blame for the present panic upon the shoulders of Zimri Dwiggins H * claimed that Dwiggins’illegitimate methods of doing business and conse quent failure started the first feeling of distrust and precipitated a general run on the banks. We think the traveling man is altogether too severe and very much mistaken. Nappanee Ad wWtiiiiiln .—. He undoubtedly is. To manic Dwig gins with the present stringency is simply absurd. His business methods may not have been of the most censer vative kind, but that his failure was. to a certain degree, the result of the general distrust, which was creeping upon the country at the time his bank was closed, is very evident. Dwiggin's bank was simply one of the first to be struck and swamped by the great wave of financial distress which has swept over the country, and before which greater and sounder establishments than his have been compelled to succumb. The Dwiggins failure was only an incident in the general crash. Don't Be An Editor. “There may be some of the young men and young women too who have recently graduated”'writes Gen. Jasper Packard in the New Albany Tribune, : “who will have their thoughts turn I lightly toward editorial work on news papers. If so, in all good conscience we say to them, “Don’t.” If you do you will be a slave in every sense of the word except being sold. And poverty may force you even to that. In anything else you will receive occasional marks of appreciation and recognition ; never or very seldom, if yon are an editor. You will see preachers and lawyers and everybody else complimented, and congratulated, and you will have to be glad just to be let alone, for yon will never know that anybody knows you appear in the paper at all unless you sny something that is not relished. You may do fine writing till it shines like the sun; you may be as sprightly as the fawn or as beautiful in expression as a day in June; you may I touch the flowers of poesy, dally with ; wit aud indulge in humor and ridicule 1 and you will never learn that anybody ’ ’ has ever' seen it. Beware, young man, ! of the editorial profession. Os course there will be au occasional I exception. About one out of a h undred ' I of your subscribers will be a reader of ’ your editorial productions, and oc- • ; casionally one of them will give you a 3 : word of encouragement that will warm i' the remotest corners of your heart.” But the other ninety-nine will not read your most “meaty” articles at > all and if they do you will bo accused t of either stealing them from the city papers or having them furnished by ; ' Lawyer Doe or Doctor Roe. No, don’t j be au editor.
