The TaPorte Argus evidently is asking no odds of the present administration. It insinuates that Mr. Cleveland is pig-headed.

Campbell, of Ohio, declares his intention of retiring from politics and devoting his time to the practice | of law. It may be that the ex-govern- ‘ or imagines he sees the “hand-writing on the wall.” DL UM TIGA FEOT AT An editor who is no doubt now spoken of in the past tense recently wrote the following: “A valuable mare died in Springfield, 0., from eating too many apples, which gave rise to some trouble in cider.” TR PR RS ME VWERETR It is reported that Mr. Lawrence, president of the defunct North Manchester bank, is losing his mind. It is said that he became mentally unbalanced a few years ago but recovered. — 1t is evidé!TfiEfii;fl)rize-fighting is on its last legs in the United States. It is becoming more and more odious, and it is well that this is so. In a few years no state in the Union will have the temerity to tolerate the Dbru- - tal sport.

- things happen In this world. i LTN TR S SR T Ex-Senator Farwell, of Chicago, recently told a reporter that he did not believe in friendship, that it was all a theory, & hoax. He said that he could count all his friends on the fingers of his bands, and they were all in hisown family. The ex-senator no doubt has & touch of dyspepsia, R B TSRO R A There is a strong sentiment among republicans, not only in St. Joseph county and the Thirteenth district, but generally throughout the state, in favor of the nomination of Aaron Jones for/| secretary of state. Aaron is a competent man, and his excellent canvass in the last state election earned him a renomination, e—— In a recent address to the graduates . of a business college ex-president Harrison gave this piece of advice: “Settle it now as an inflexible purpose, that you will never, for a moment use for your own purpose one cent of another man's money in your keeping without his knowledge and consent, however desperate your needl or however certain it may seem to you that you can speedily return the money." ’ ATSSR W R G SR Speaking of the delay in the appointment of new postmasters Congressman Conn says in his paper, the Elkhart Truth: “There is considerable feeling manifested over the delay overrun with petitious,; romvidy waean | and endorsing candidates, each of which must be carefully read and considered. And when it is remembered that there are over five hundred expirations of commissions in the month of January alone, a good reason will be found for the apparent delay.” S v The Painter execution will go a Jlong ways towards “setting” the people of this country against the barbarous eustom of capital punishment. A doubt existed as to TPainter’s guilt and this in connection with the sickening, bungling job in executing him, makes it a most horrible, revolting as fair. If we must have capital punishment, for heaven's sake let it not be resorted to in doubtful cases. It is bad enough to take a man’s life on the gallows when he is known to be guilty, but it is simply heinous to do so when there is a shadow of a doubi as to his guilt, as there was in the case of Painter. There is room for fears that n terrible mistake has been made and that lilinois justice has placed itself ina z:umpmmising position,

The income tax will hardly become a law during the present session of congress. The democratic party is badly split on the question, and with such leaders as Bourke Cochran opposing the measure it would seem to be doomed for the present. The Michigan City Dispatch very aptly observes: Don’t give yourself away by adversely criticising cultivated men and | women within your social eirele. Somebody has shrewdly said, and as truthfully as shrewdly, that “inability to appreciate the value of taste and training is the very essence of vulgar- | ity.” Another international monetary | conference is among the probabilities. |. Hasten the day, and may the leading | powers come to a satisfactory agree- | ment on the basis of a bimetalic stan- | dard, Bimetalism is evidenlly de- | sired by most nations, but international eo-operation is absolutely neces- | sary for a double standard of value to| be successful. The one great stumb- | ling-block against universal bimetalism is the attitude of England on this question.

S SRRI R TR ATI B S GIS IR, Philip D. Armour, the Chicago mul-ti-millionaire, is an early riser and has been all his life. He has his breakfast by half past flve or six every morning and goes to his office bright and early. He says that he has carried into his business life the habits learned as a boy ona New York farm. To his ‘earnest, industrious application is Mr. Armour’s success mainly due, and not that he is grasping. He is not as “hoggish’as some people might think, as he gives away one hundred dollars every day for charitable purposes. i G A William xx. cdaiking, formerly of LaPortg, and le..p_l esentaviv. n congress from the Thirteenth Indiana ... for several terms, died at his liome in Tacoma, Wash., Monday moruning, of Bright's disease. His age was 52 years. It is sad that a life so promising, so comparatively young, should thus be cut down in the zenith of success and power. DBut in the untimely ‘death of Major Calkins, as in that of ‘many another promising, ambitious iman, is a valuable lesson impressed )i upon our minds—that of the folly of immoderate ambition and the fieeting E character of the goals and emoluments of this life. Many a sigh of regret will fall from the lips of the Major's eold friends, and they are legion, in the Thirteenth district and | throughout Indiana, at hearing of his %, “MJ CNea Sun: ; : “We have the Anarchists in this city | 1 too well watiched for them to ever give -1 us much trouble,” said Superintendent | Byrens., ‘“Very little can go on with- | out, our knowing all about it, and as for successful plotting for the use of bombs, why, it is simply out of the | question. It is one of the misfortunes | that in times like these Anarchist sen- | timent is bound to grow among the ignorant classes of our population. ‘| The Anarchist agent takes advantage | of hard times to spread their literature, | and some times it isn’t diflicult to con- | vinee a hungry man, or a man that { has been out of work for months, and { who has seen his children suffer, that | there may be something radically wrong ‘in the social system. Once convineed ’nf that, it is but a step to the theory | that no government at all is better than one that doesn’t prevent suffering among the people, and another step turns out a full fledged Anarcbist, who lsm‘s in any government only a great |enemy who is oppressing him. This { refers, of course, only to the ignorant | eliss—the foreigners. You don’t find |any body of intelligence, even among | the very poor, who tolerate such doc- | trines.” .

T ORI R SR Harper's chkly:MN_"—l“lflnwe~ adoption of the Wilson bill essentially as it st-andsi is the only possibility the Democrafic party has of continuing its existence‘ as a potent factor in Ameriean politics for a long time to come. Without it the Democratie party will stand before the people as an imbecile and cowardly crowd. With it the Democrat party will have its share of credit for the revival of business and the new rise of prosperity which will inevitubly‘ come when the uncertainty now benumbing everything is removed. The Democratic party is passing througha decisive crisis of its existence. There never was a time in its history when sound statesmanship and good politics were more unquestionably one and the same thing, and when bad gtatesmanship was more surely tantamount to party suicide.
