®|ic 3ni)cpcndcnt WALKERTON. INDIANA. AUG. 26, 1893. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Sept. 9 will be grand army day at ^ie world's fair. The daily attendance at the world’s fair is increasing. An unconditional repeal of Hoax Aly th would no doubt suit about twothirds of the democratic party. Gov. Boies was renominated for governor by the lowa democrats last Thursday. This puts him in the race for a third term. Astronomers claim that a strange comet is wandering in the vicinity of the sun. It can be seen with a powerful glass at mid-day. Bro. Kessler, of the LaPorto Argus, js talked of for the postmastership at that place. His selection would no doubt give general satisfaction to the constituency of that office. Larry Neal, democratic candidate for govenor of Ohio, is said to be an energetic campaigner. But he will need all of his energy, tact and sagacity in tackling the big job that looms up before him. On Thursday a im.b of unemployed I’olish laboringmen desperately hungry were sacking the east market and rilling.the booths at Buffalo, N. Y. Police re-in forcemeats were called to put down the trouble. In a cemetery near Boston are (be graves of the two former wives of a Boston man, who is now living happy with his third wife. On the headstone of one are the words, “My Beloved Lilly,” and on that id' the other arc the words, “My Cherished Violet.” The Atlanta Journal, Secretary Hoke Smith’s paper, has made a sensational flop by coming out in favor of the free coinage of silver at an increased ratio. The Journal has heretofore been pretty nearly with Cleveland in its views on the financial question. The Drom cigarette law is now in force. It provides that retail dealers must pay a license of one hundred dollars a year for the privilege of .selling cigarettes, and any dealer who violates this law lays himself liable to a fine of not less than SIOO nor more than S3OO. The law’ took effect August 1. If humane societies everywhere would secure Cheap editions of “Black Beauty,” the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of (he horse race, and circulate them freely in their respective bailiwicks they would be doing an effective work for the cause in which they are enlisted. The story of “Black Beauty” is a grand one for the kind, and it is destined to prove an effectual in-) strament in bringing about a great reformation for the benefit of our dumb friends who can not speak for themselves. Citizen George Francis Train, the great “globe trotter,” who is now at the world's fair saving it from ('man cml destruction, visited tho Michigan I City prison in company with the White ; Chapel club, of Chicago, on Thursday of last week. The citizens of Michigan City tendered Train a public reception, which seemed to please his bigness greatly. In speaking of Train the News says: “With all his peculiarities, Train is a wonderful man, with a most powerful mind and an accurate i memory that surpasses anything ever! heard of. He is a ready, fluent writer, an old time newspaper man and has ' traveled more than any other living man. He is known the world over ' -and in all nations.” Lucy Parsons, widow of the late ! Anarchist Parsons, has broken out ! again. At a meeting in Chicago the ! other day she talked on the labor question and her address was radical, boldly anarchistic and revolutionary. The present unfortunate condition of ; the country affords an opportunity for i dyspeptic people of the Lucy Parsons type to screech, and they will no doubt ' make the best of the situation to propogate their wild and illogical doctrines ■ and inflame the minds of the poor working-men with false and distorted ideas of the labor question. That evils demanding rectification exist in the labor world is evident, but something more substantial than the wild ravings of cranks and fanatics will be required to adjust them. As Buskin says, the working classes will never improve their condition by methods of violence, but by education and culture I only will they ever reach the condition |pr which they are striving. !
Goshen butchers have reduced (he price of meats “on account of (he scarcity of labor and consequent scarcity of money.” Cal Sinpinger, formerly of the Bremen Enquirer, is now doing local work on the Goshen Times. He is a spicy, trenchant writer and will render (he Times good service. m hi — An undertaker at St. Joseph, Alo., has made a proposition to furnish one coffin and one carriage and bury (he poor for 15 cents apiece. That is certainly a great inducement which many people in St. Joseph who couldn't afford to die heretofore will be apt to take advantage of. A special grand jury has been impaneled by the state's attorney with the object in view of suppressing gambling in Chicago. Mayor Carter Harrison very kindly wishes the grand jury success in its undertaking, but says that the gambling can not be stopped. Carter may not be far out of the way. It has been tried repeatedly in Chicago but never with success. Warden French of the Michigan City prison has written the Independent in regard to a second-hand waterworks pump which he has for sale and will sell very cheap. It has been in use at the prison, but the warden having put in more extensive waler-works wants to dispose of (he old pump which is already supplied with all fixtures. He says the pump is in good condition, has a capacity of 700,000 gallons a day and throws three good (Ire streams of w iter. This might be a good opportunity for Walkerton to secure adequate lire protection at comparatively small expense. At least it ! is worth the while of the town council j to correspond with Mr. French in re gard to the matter. In speaking of the failure of the Indianapolis national bank the Indian apolis Independent gives the officials 1 of (he bank the following “roast:” • “The failure of the bank can't be attributed to tho “financial stringency" as is customary just now. It is a plain case of bank wrecking by criminal mismanagement. The funds of confiding depositors were coolly do naled to relatives and pets to be squandered in wildcat business ventures and I riotous living. When the skeletons] are all dragged out of this sanctimon j ions bank closet it will be found ihat both fast horses and fast women constitute a large part of the perspective. I Mr. Pecksniff in all his glory has been playing his usual snivelling role of saint ami sinner by attempting the impossible task of worshipping both God and Mammon at once." A man with a moderate, but certain : income in this year of our Lord, can ' have luxuries, conveniemes and ad-I vantages that were not within Hu reach of the greatest potentates on earth in former days, says the lia’las News. By using a few dollars, he can ! get as many conveniences from a rail I road, for instance, as if he owned the ! entire road, and for a low dimes as; many from the street railways as if he j owned all the roads in the city; and then leave them for others to look after. For al\ w more dollars, he can visit the theatre as often as he likes, ride upon ocean steamers, live in hotels ■ that cost tens of thousands of dollars, 1 walk or ride in paved streets, and, as ; the hotels say, “have all the luxuries i the market affords.” There is no rea- j son why men of moderate, but certain i means, should not enjoy themselves as 1 much as millionaires do. THS COMING REUNION. The Twenty-Ninth Indiana Volunteer Association wiil hold its eighth annual reunion in Walkerton on Thursday and Friday, September 7 and 8. As the association has seen fit to honor Walkerton by holding its yearly “Uove Feast" lx n- this season, it is the duty of our citizens, as well as the I ■ G. A. it. boys, to see that the visiting I ' veterans are entertained and given a ■ hearty welcome during their stay ' among us. The old Tw'enty-Niuth is a • regiment with a history and was the I • first one in the Army of the Cumber- I land to be veteranized. Its surviving members are widely s uttered throughout the country, and many of them i will come long distances to attend the reunion. It is estimated that there i will be a hundred of the members, besides many veterans from other organj izations, in attendance. It will be an ’ eventful occasion for Walkerton and ' our citizens should have on their re- ' ception clothes and give the old wari riors a royal welcome, that they may carry away with them pleasant mcmi ories of the town and its people. Pay $2.25 and get the Walkerton Independent and the Cosmopolitan ! magazine for one year.
