'Fhe Chinese pay • their doctor so long as lie keeps them in good health. It is strange how hard some men will work in their efforts to keep out of working. Pay $2.25 and get the Walkerton Independent and the Cosmopolitan magazine for one year. Congressman Conn has been assigned a place on the committees on manufactures and private land claims. A scheme is on foot to establish a museum in Chicago to consist of such exhibits as can be obtained from the world's fair. There is something rat her suggestive in the fact that the democrats of Ohio have decided to open the campaign in Licking county. The near friends of President Cleveland are concerned about his । health. Some of them fear that he j will not live to serve his term out. The Indianapolis Independent observes: “There is many a wife hung ering for an occasional word of approval who will be buried in a rosewood casket.” Fort Wayne has been very fortunate during the present panic. It is said that none of her banks have failed and the factories are all running and the merchants doing a good business. «p. /mjrowrctMM —w 'tw There are a number of attractions on the Midway Plaisance which are meritorious and worthy of patronage. There are also a number of “fakes,” and the person who takes in the shows ' on that street indiscriminately ami without selection will part with some of his money for which he will not receive an iota of benefit. Granger, the monkey man, has built him a cage in the jungle and is now pßUeuuj 'o ;

of them was the exclamation “urnph!” but it is more than probable that they will eventually unbosom themselves and delare in favor of free silver.— Indianapolis Sun. It is believed that the panic is passing away, and that an easier financial condition is being ushered in. The banks of Chicago and other cities are now offering to loan large sums of money at reasonable rates of interest, plenty of money being available at 7 per cent. The elevator men of the Northwest have also notified their c >untry agents that the Minneapolis banks will pay off checks as formerly. All this would seem to presage the ; pear approach of better times. In the present business depression Ihe Chicago Typographical Union has set an example which other labor organizations would do well to follow . instead of marching the streets with banners demanding “work or blood,” and other inflammatory mottoes. The Typographical Union ata recent meeting decided amid great enthusiasm among its members that printers holding permanent positions should work but four days each week for five weeks, thus assuring printers out of employment at least from one to three days’ work each week during that time. To those who may fail to get '‘subbing” a sum of $3 a week will be paid. The order went into effect last i ' v ' Several cases of domestic infelicity ; have been suppressed of late, out o*f respect to the innocent friends of the i afflicted. —Elkhart Review. You ought to have given them pub- ; licity, to please the ghouls and vam- i pires with which every community is afflicted. You ought to have dragged ■ into light the troubles of each poor family, giving every detail of their misfortune with the utmost exactness. No matter if there arc innocent part ies, ■ let them suffer, for the sake of gratifying the curiosity mongers. What matter if hearts be broken, and troubles worse than that of death ha ve come to young and old, the gaping wound must be torn wider apart, disgrace must be heaped upon parents and Children and other relatives, likewise friends, that the prurient may be gratified, and the paper contain what is called salacious reading. The press doesn’t receive credit for half it does in the suppression of this class of news. On the contrary it is severely criticised for doing so, and even accused of being bribed into silence.—LaPorte JUmid.

Bro. Prickett, editor of the Albion New Era, and a sober, truthful man, complains of snakes in his cellar. Congress is getting ready to take up the tariff question soon. It begins to look as though the repeal of the Sherman law would not be accomplished at a very early date. Free distributions of bread are being I made in Chicago to relieve the distressed poor of the city. The Mail is the prime mover in this noble work of charity. South Bend is troubled very little with tramps, owing, it is said, to the efforts of the metropolitan police force, which has taken special pains to rid the city of this nuisance. Cromwell, Noble county, this state, a pleasant little town of 500 inhabitants, surrounded by a rich farming community, wants a newspaper badly. The citizens say they would give a good support to some newspaper man who would attend strictly to business. Cromwell is on the B. A O. railroad, about ten miles this side of Albion. Many of the manufacturing concerns of Chicago have caught onto the happy idea of the printers, and are having the employed num shift hours with those out of work, thus giving them all employment a part of the time. This plan, if generally adopted by manufacturers, would afford great relief to the thousands of laboringmen who are thrown out of work by the present, depression. A meeting of 7,000 idle working men on the lake front in Chicago last Wednesday was stirred to demonstrations of violence by fiery speakers, but the trouble was soon quelled by a force of policemen numbering 500. The safety of life and property in Chicago ■ is constantly threatened by the ignorant foreign laboring element, and it requires the constant care and watchfulness of the city authorities to prevent uprisings. The Albion Democrat makes the : following rather unique plea in behalf of the lazy man: “The lazy man does no harm in the world, but, on the con tary, does much good. This fact never will be appreciated unless the lazy men should all at once forsake their laziness and become workers. But lack of appreciation does not worry the ) A .

There are a few independent papers ( in polities and when we come aci >ss one we seldom believe in its sincerifv. In this glorious land of ours it pais to! have ideas of your own, and to slam! ' Iby them at all times. Your readers and conferees respect you the morel |aud financial returns are bound to be ; i more satisfactory. Ex. The person who wrote the above w is slightly “off.” The indejiendent paper is the one that d ies its t»wn thinking I and isn't obliged to blindly follow the j code laid down by a few bosses. The ! : fact that the brethren of the press are ! becoming each year more independent |is a source of much hope. Even (he > । party press has shown instances of Hiaring a mind of its own. Westville I Indicator. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. Developments during the past week, | | says the Chicago Journal, have been 1 generally in the way of betterments in . j conditions readily noticed Uy the close ' 1 observer. To the average news reader ; ; the dispatches were favorable only as I I they failed to note any serious suspen- ; sions or troubles other than those in I cident to the murmurings or ratherl | mutterings of unemployed labor. The i । banker is more than statisfied to find ! country balances increasing and deposits more than holding their own. The trouble seems to be over, and un less some unexpected weakness develops recovery gradual but sure seems to be

more thvcii probable. Returning confidence is bringing j millions from safety vaults and hiding j i places. The increased circulation and I the liberal gold imjiorts are both imi portant factors in the work of confl- : I deuce restoraton. Affairs at New York ‘ j are still in had shape, banks there, as well as at Philadelphia, having virtual- I ly suspended payment, here checks all ■ bearing the stamp “payable through - the New A ork or Philadelphia clearing I house only.” Until there is a radical I change in the east and payment shall have been resumed matters can only ' gain slowly. Congress is still wrestling with silver with but little doubt as to the final out- ‘ come, although delay in the action needed is detrimental to business intere: 's. Tariff possibilities are also responsible for the closing of many factories and depression in business. All things considered the situation, while I not characterized by nay great ini- I , provements during the week, is bright er ami the outlook certainly cncourag- ; iug. “ j

He would beg for aunife and repeatedly declare that he wanted to die. When asked by the nassengers why lie wanted to die, l|e would answer by saying that he had had ’■too much trouble, too much high living.” Mr. Smith says that the man was well dressed, about 35 yours old and had with him $2,000 and a ticket to ; Germany. He had a friend with him : and together they came from Germany, ■ | where they reside, to visit the world's ■ ■ fair and see the United States. 1 ' They had been here about six weeks and had been to San Francisco from where they had just returned. They stopped off at Chicago on their way hack, being on their return to Germany.
