o The Independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA, FEB. 17, 18%4. Ws, NINDUEY, Nhbon, Governor Matthews is quite ill, being afllicted with stomach trouble. The estate of George W. Childs is valued at $1,000,000, all of which is left to his wife. 1t is reported that lix Senator John J. Ingalls has been converted under the persuasive preaching of Sam Jones. The recent fires on the world's fair grounds were no doubt started by ineendiaries. Their motive, it is believ- | ed, was theft. The man-of-war Kearsage, which is famous in history for having sunk the Alabama, was wrecked in the Car- ~ ribean sea Feb. 3. E—— A poll of the U. S. senate shows 37 senators in favor of the income tax with 41 against it and six doubtful. Voorhees and Turpie, of this state, favor the tax.. Vaillant, the anarchist who was executed at Paris for throwing a bomb in the French house of deputies, was once! a school teacher in the United States. TR AT INTHI RS TS AR | e e st e ‘ A saloon-keeper at Galena, 111.,, has made an assignment and attributes ~ his failure to so many people taking the gold cure. 'The gold cure is a potent temperance reformer. | The conm_{éréinl-":ig'on(;ies reported 1 for last week the resumption of about “ 800 factories in various parts of the country, and the majority of these with 1‘ a full foree of men. That’s encouraging. Godey’s Magazine, which was a popular and prosperous publication fnr! about fifty years, has failed. 'The large | outlay expended for premiums and ex- | pensive illustrations are said to be the | cause of the failure. ;

The annual meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association will be held at the New Denison hotel, Indianapolis, Thursday and TFriday, Feb. 22 and 23. Allrepublican editors throughout the state are cordially invited to be present. : O T AN, IAT Lo With the Eovxii;{f; ! i‘xi“s:xspense and business stagnated in consequence, it is to be hoped that the members of the United States senate will not parley over the Wilson bill any longer than is absolutely necessary, but get down to practical business and pass the bill, if they are going to pass it at all, with expedition. OCEM OTAT B T A A peculiar feature of many of the recent bold robberies is the fact that so few of the perpetrators hive been apprehended. The Kessler train robbers, the South Bend bank thieves, the Chicago postoflice thieves, and the per- } petrators of other extensive robberies are, as yet, Scot free and enjoying the ‘ fruits of their misdeeds. IR NPT LG The Indiana democratie state convention will be held at Indianapolis on August 15. 'The representation will be based on a ratio of one delegate for each 150 votes cast for Governor Mathews, and one delegate for each additional 75 votes or more. The demoeratic and republican state eonventions will be held nearly four months apart, the call for the latter being in April. The late Georgs W. Childs, publisher of the Philadelphia Ledger, always made his paper free from sensationalism. His policy was to offend as few people as possible, and to be just and honest with all classes and parties. whlis.svonderful success is a brilliant * illustration of w TDaper eonduttad on a fair and conservative basis may | accomplish. The: momentary ap-| plause of the unthinking rabble had no | charms for him. Mr. Childs’ standard \ of journalism is no doubt the true | one, which all journals should follow. e——— The Indiana Democratic Editoriall association met in annual session at ludianapolis on Thursday and Friday' of last week. Officers for the ensuingl year were chosen as follows: Presi-! dent, C. W. Wellman, Sullivan Times;§ first vice-president, S. B. Boyd, Wash- | ington Democrat; second \'i(:c-pr(rsi-! dent, A. A. Sparks, Mt. Vernon Democrat; recording secretary, F. D. llnilr{ baugh, Muncie Herald; corresponding gecretary, J. M. Keeney, Crawfordsville Star; treasurer, W. B. Wilson, Tafayette Journal; executive committee, Lonis Holtman, Brazil; A. S. Chapman, Madison; J. B. Stoll, South Bend; J. Rothroek, White County Demoerat; Ben Eaton, ladianapolis Raentinel. T'he association passed resolutio commending the Wilson ‘ bill and endorsing senator Voorhees. | They also condemaied the present libel iAW, j

The county seat question is still red- | ° hot in Berrien county, Michigan, and the St. Joe Daily Press is in the thick- |, est of the fray. By the way, the Press is doing valliant work in behalf of St. Joe. It continues to “spike guns”|. to the consternation of rival towns. | The income tax is intended to cateh | the applause of the working millions. { But the real fact is, the scheme to tax | the incomes of corporations will be a|, grevions burden upon building and loan associations, whose capital represents the savings of workingmen.— l | Chicago Inter Ocean, : Either the Inter Ocean is laboring |’ under a mistake or the provisions of | the tax as published in many papers | have been incorreotly represented. It ] is understood that building andloan as- | sociations would be excluded from the 1 operations of the tax. | Most newspapers are opposed to |! prize-fighting but are compelled in re- || sponse to public demand to publigh |’ full accounts of the slugging matches. | But while it is true that a large por-{ tion of the public has a taste for news | of this class isn’t it a fact that the press has been a potent factor in cul- | tivating such a taste by catering to it? The only way open for reform in this matter is for the leading papers to stop devoting so much attention to the i prize ring, and the smaller ones will soon follow. But where is the leading paper with suflicient courage to take the initiative in such a reform? The present hard times will serve as a reminder that we must be more economical and prudent in our methods of tliving. The sun cannot always shine, i nor can prosperity with the good things lnf life. Clouds will overcast and hide | the earth from the warmth of sunshine, and reverses will never cease to bring oceasional distress and unhappiness. But we ocan so regulate our affairs as to bear with reverses if we are !prmlunt and saving in times of pros- ’ { perity, and we must never forget that | providence helps those best who help i themselves most.—CoNGRESSMAN | | G CoNN. l i e

Rev. Woolpert, presiding elder of the Goshen district of the M. E. chureh, recently resigned on account of ill health. The Fort Wayne Journal reports that it was not duoe to ill health, but to plagiarism, a sermon preached at Goshen by Rev. Woolpert being taken in short hand and when compared to that of a noted divine being found to be identical. 1t is to be hoped that the charge is not true.— Goshen Democrat. If he is guilty he should be relegated to obscurity and never again allowed to show his face in the pulpit. There is nothing more dishonest or demoralizing in any profession than plagiarism, especially in the pulpit, where sincerity and honor count for so much. We sincerely hope that Rev, Woolpert is able to vindicate himself. — Retrieving the Loss, ! Cashier Myron Campbell, of the jSuuth Bend National bank, which was ‘ robbed of §15,600 at the noon hour on Dee. 7, is making a worthy effort to irodevm his home and the collateral ifurnishnd by his brother in compensating for the loss accruing to the | stock-holders of the bank. Mr. Campbell voluntarily proposed to make up for the loss, without solicitation from the bank directors, as he felt a certain responsibility for the loss in having made the robbery possible by carelessly neglecting to securely lock the safe door when he and the other employes left the bank for their noon lunch, Mr. Campbell’s plan for raising the amount necessary to redeem the loss is the placing on sale of a book, of which he is the author, comprising interest tables, and designed for use in banks and counting rooms. v Diiea- Gl is $2 personally soliciting by~ letter his i brother bankers throughont the country to assist him by the purchase of his book. They appear to be strongly in sympathy with Mr. Campbell in his trouble, and are coming nobly to his aid. ! Cashier Turner, of the Farmers’ ibank, of this place, is in receipt l of a letter from Mr. Campbell lin regard to the matter and | !has responded by ordering a book. On | | the first page of the letter is & printed Immouncement of the book in which | !appmrs the following dedication: “To ' the banking fraternity this book is %respnctfully offered, with the hope { that its cordial reception will help to gsofi,un the memory of a $15,600 lunch 'unwillingly indulged in and not easily | digested by the Author.” | | Mr. Campbell has conducted himself | iwith manly honor and integrity { ;throughont his trouble, and now that |he is making a heroic effort to lift ' himself out of the finaneial abyss into | which he has been guiltlessly plunged, Eit is gratifying to know that he is | | being substautially encouraged. ‘
