j Slljc independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. MARCH 10. 1894. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The big trial at Chicago has closed and Coughlin was found not guilty of the murder of Cronin. The ex-detec-tive is being congratulated by rejoicing friends. The legislature of New York has so amended the libel law of that state as to require that malice absolutely be shown in an article before damages shall be awarded. That would seem to be a fair and just law. J. V. Bowersox, editor of the St. Joseph, Mich., Daily Press, has been sued for $5,000 for libel. The plaintiff is Thornton Carter, the would-be messiah, of Coloma, Mich., who claims that the Press contained a publication reflecting upon his character. The Danbury News man is dead. He was very popular at one time as a humorist writer and his witty writings id lUw-tsaat reputation and circulation. Os late years he had —-written but little of a humorous character. The supreme court decides “that in an action to recover damages for the loss of property set fire to and burned by sparks from a passing railroad locomotive, negligence on he part of the railroad company must be affirmatively shown, even where it appears that the escaping sparks caused the loss.” Martha Washington had faith in her husband. In 1774 she wrote to a friend: “Yes, I forsee consequences—dark days, domestic happiness suspended, social enjoyment abandoned, and eternal separations on earth possible. But my mind is made up; my heart is in the cause. George is right; he is always right. God has promised to protect the righteous, and I will trust Him.” Chauncy Depew expresses himself on gambling as follows: “A considerable proportion of failure in business and ninety per cent, of the defalcations and thefts and ruin of youth among people who are employed in places of trust are due directly to gambling. 1 have seen in my vast employment so much misery from the head of thefamily neglecting its support, and squandering his earnings in the lottery or the policy shop, and promising young men led estray in a small way, and finally becoming fugitives or landing in the criminal dock, that I have come to belive that the community which licenses and tolerates public gambling cannot have prosperity in business, religion in its churches or morality among its people.” General Booth, of the Salvation Army, knows the homeless classes thoroughly and has worked for them as faithfully as man ever did. He says in plain words that society has created the homeless classes. How? By free lodging houses and souphouses, answers Booth. “Tramps are created by emotional humanitarians.” Every time one gives a dime to a professional beggar he encourages professional begging and vagrancy. It is time to put the responsibility for the so-called indignant class where at least a part of it»belongs—on the tramps and beggars themselves. The moment sloppy sentimentalists refuse to give to a tramp he will have to work or steal, and if he steals he will eventually get caught. A man’s heart and purse should always be open, but he owes it to society in every case to bestow r aid worthily. We sometimes find people whose is to criticise their feldeservedly or un^ffenwdTsays an exchange. This is not made in reference to newspapers, but in common every day affairs in private life. If some one’s style don't suit you, or their features don’t attract, or their clothes don’t fit as if made by a tailor, or their eyes squint, or their hair don’t friz, or their mouth don’t correspond with the nose, or the chin with the neck to suit your fancy, it is not necessary that you should express your disappointment in words, but remember that all persons are not made t to suit one, and that in all probability you are as much of a disappointment to them as they are to f you. It is far better to take things as we find them, unless we can change them for the better. Continued faultfinding and criticism is not wholeK some in the family circle, but rather tends to a restless disposition, an unSappy nature, an unenviable figure in ocicty.

A TRIP TO WEST VIRGINIA. = A Few Points of Interest as Seen by the Editor of the Independent on a Flying Trip to the Panhandle : State. 1 On last Saturday a little after noon the editor of the Independent in company with D. Leibole, of thia office, and J. P. Barnhart, mail" clerk, who was off duty for the time being, boarded the fast train at Walkerton and sped 1 away toward the interesting city of 1 Wheeling, West Virginia. The B. & 1 O. road runs direct to Wheeling (or within four miles of it), a distance of four hundred miles, without a change of cars. The longest stop is at Chicago Junction, 0., where there is a delay of twenty minutes for lunch and to change the train crew. The route to Wheeling is a very interesting one to a Northern Indianian, as the landscape after reaching Ohio, presents such a contrast to our own. The eyo is here greeted alternately for miles and miles with frowning hills, smiling, picturesque valleys and high rooky cliffs with huge boulders at times projecting al.most within touching distance of the yrirr wTJ?9ow. This line of the B. & O. passes through some of the finest and most flourishing towns iu Ohio. Among these are Fostoria, Tiffin, Mansfield, Newark and Zanesville, all of which are beautiful cities and the centers of large manufacturing and commercial interests. At Bellaire the B. & O. touches the Ohio river. At this place is an immense bridge, a mile long, crossing the river to the West Virginia side at Benwood. The bridge is about fifty feet in height and is built over the town of Bellaire much like the elevated railroads of Chicago. The B. &O. ruus to Wheeling, but a change of cars is made at Benwood, four miles from Wheeling. Here the track makes a sharp curve and for a distance makes two parallel tracks, the road having been constructed iu that way owing to the small space between the hills and the river. Wheeling is a queerly built city. Its founders must have been hard up for a site when they located it. With the hills back of it and the river in front there is but little space for n town, but what is lucking in width has been made up in length. The city is uot over four blocks widest its greatest width aud gradually tapers down to one block. It rumbles along the river for u distance of about eight miles . It nestles at the foot of towering hills which one, with a little stretch of the imagination, might magnify into mountains. Ou the summit and on the side of those hills, iu seeming defiance of the law’ of gravitation, are houses which seem ready to topple over . Opposite the hotel, the Stamm House, where we “put up,” Hows the historic Ohio, about three hundred feet away. The river when od a “high” causes lots of trouble to the buildings located near its banks. One of the clerks of the Stamm hotel pointed out to us on the wall of the office a high water murk showing that the water when the river overflowed in 1894 had reached a height of seven ami a half feet on the first floor of the hotel. Wheeling is the largest city in West Virginia, having a population of about 40,000. Os late years it has made but slow’ progress in growth. A number oi its manufactories have been closed which, combined with the backset it received from the removal of the state capital to Charleston about eight years ago, has hud a somewhat depressing effect upon the prosperity of the city. At one time Wheeling was the location of great glass aud iron works, but for various reasons a number of them have been closed during the past few years. There was a time when four-fifths of all the nails used in the United States were manufactured in this city. But Wheeling still retains elements and interests which make it an important city. It is the center of large coal industries and an important factor in the transportation business of the Ohio river. On Sunday evening at 4:10 o’clock we left Wheeling for Newark where we remained over night, the next morning going to Columbus, the capital of Ohio. Columbus is a fine city of about one hundred thousand inhabitants, having finely paved streets, beautiful buildings, large factories, electric street railways, fifteen railroads, and many’ I other things that combine to make a ! large, thriving city. We called at the I state capitol, located in the center of the city, looked in upon both legislative halls and called at Gov. McKinley’s office but that official being out we failed to see him . The capitol building is quite au expensive structure of cou’se, aud no doubt answers a good ; purpose, but it is not to be compared, I as regards expense and grandeur, with : the capitol buildings of many less pre- ! tentious states. The structure is built ‘as closely after the Grecian style of i । architecture as it is possible to get a 1

building adapted to its pur^ e » but it departs considerably from tsl 0 Grecian architecture. The buihlinSis nearly square, and on the top reap a large dome. There are four mainhcntrances at each of which is a porticq|jof Greek temple pattern with d O l marble columns. While in Columbus we oah I at the office of Mr. Bradford, chief! ail clerk of the Ffth division, where i . Barnhart took an examination ini lie mail service. Mr. Bradford at his assistant, Mr. Wiley, gave u 8 cordial reception and entertained us very pleasantly. I , At4:l2p. m. we boarded Jie train at Columbus for home, arriving here Tuesday morning at 4:30 o’clock. FOR YOUNG MEN TO |ONDER OER. In reply to a correspondent-f a young man of respectable family—wk* wants to know if, in order to have,*? “broad view” of life, he should see t® “darker side,” or, in other words, shc^W sow a certain amount of wild oatajAT- F.dward W. Bok, editor of Home Journal gives this swer: No young man may . “darker side of life.” The knows that it forces itself tontion soon enough. It does wait to bo sought. A young maq nAd not be afraid that he will fail to see 4. He will see pleuty of it, and without any seeking ou his part either. An# ©ven if be does fail he is the gainer. There are a great many things which w|lnan accept by inference as existing iu world. It is not a liberal educating see them. Too many young men mve a burning itch to see wiekedness-^kt to indulge in it, as they are quick |o explain, but simply to see it. the thousands of men who have oHL? seen ii have never felt themselvefl^K losers. If anything they are glad^K^ It dues not raise a man’s ideal to w --’I in contact with certain types of aLjK| hood or womanhood which are only r*l moved from the lowest types of th^ animal kingdom by virtue of the fadl that the Creator chose to have them get through the world on two legs in - stead of four. The loftiest ideal of womanhood that a young man can form in his impressionable days will prove none too high for him in bis years of maturity. To lie true to the best that is within a man means, above all, to be an vainest believer in the very best qualities of womanhood. Let him take by inference that there two types of women, the good bad. But he will be wiser and ImpG pier if be associate only with the former. There are hundreds of good women in this world to every one of the contrasting element No young I man has, therefore, a valid excuse for seeking the latter.

He relaWß one experience as follows: • I f* several years I had been troubled with pentWl nervousness and pain in the region of inw heart- My greatest affliction was sleepis B'iess; it waa almost impossible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen Dr. Miles’ remedies advertised I began using Nervine. After taking a small quantity the benefit received was so great that I was positively alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would finally lie injurious to me; but on being assured by the druggist that it was perfectly harmless. I continued it together with the Heart Cure. Today lean conscientiously say that Dr. Mlles’ Restorative Nervine and New Heart Cure did more for me than anything I had ever taken. I had been treated by eminent physicians in New York and San Francisco without benfit. I owe my present good health to the Judicious use of these most valuable remedies, and hear>i!y recommend them to allaffiicted as I was.” —Capt. A. P. Loud, Hampden, Me.
