— * ————s * Jniicpcndent. WAI.KKUTON. INDIANA. MARCH 31, 1894. w* A - ENDLEY, Edit^~ President Cleveland has vetoed the Bland bill. One of the Sells brothers, of circus fame, died at Topeka, Kansas, last week. The kind of men that the oflice seeks are the safest to entrust with public responsibilities. Advices from all over Indiana report that the fruit prospects were greatly injured by the cold wave of Sunday. The public is just now in a quandary to know whether Miss Pollard intends writing n book or going on the Btngo. The Albion Democrat completed its

eleventh volume this week. The paper is well edited and is apparently prosperous. Politics is apt to cut but little figure i in the coming town elect m, and it j shouldn't when the improvement of the town is at stake. Water works is going to be the principal issue. According to government reports the farmers of this country have 114,000,000 bushels of wheat on hand and 589,000,000 bushels of corn. Nappanee is feeling good over its bright prospects of getting a shoe factory which is to employ 75 hands at the start. The firm asks for a bonus of $7,500. The South Bend Tribune is advocating the purchase of a beautiful tract of land near that city and converting it into a public park. The spot is where LaSalle first set foot on Indiana soil in 1679. Gen. Coxey, at the head of his commonweal army, is still marching toward Washington. The army now consists of 108 tramps which number is being increased a little along the way. The Indiana state board of health has decided that all tramps passing through the state must be vacinated. Local boards are directed to vaccinate all tramps coming within their respective jurisdictions.

of . does not make the acts of such officers illegal. । The death of Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, removes a very able man ' from the United States Senate. He was one of the broad-minded men of the South. He was educated in his youth for the law. He served with distinction in the confederate army. The Warsaw Union says that Capt. John Runyan, of that place, announces himself as a candidate for the republican nomination for congress. L. W. Royse’s name has also been announced, but two candidates from the same place is apt to spoil the chances of both. There will be a great gathering of the Odd Fellows of Indiana at Indianapolis, May 16, to commemorate the founding of the order. The civic parade is to be one of the grandest and largest ever seen in Indiana. It will be as follows: Five hundred patriarchs militant in uniform, 10,000 subordinate and encampment members, 1,500 members of the grand lodge, and also the grand sire, grand master, grand patriarch, and other distinguished members of the order. Odd Fellows in Indiana now’ number nearly 45,000 members.

Sam Jones, the evangelist, suggests the following recipe for the cure of the country’s difficulties: “First, in the wise and early settlement of all monetary and tariff questions by congress; second, in convention of the boards of trade of all the states with wise dis--'eussions and just conclusions, for the manufacture and maturing of plans by which labor can be employed, and the long, heavy trains now stalled on the bridge can be helped over the bills

until they roll with mighty momentum I on to prosperity and to victory. A ; hard pull and a long pull and a pull j all together will solve any problem and conquer any difficulty. In the multitude of counsel there is wisdom, and here and there manufactories have started, enterprises quieted. The voice of murmuring shall be hushed and words of encouragement and hope come with deeds to back them up. Tlwn we shail have employment for ■ the unemployed and dividends for the ' capitalist.”

Charles F. Crisp, speaker of the house of representatives, has been appointed United States senator by the governor of Georgia, to succeed the late Senator Colquitt. The Indianapolis Journal analyzes the vote on the silver seignorage bill as follows: “The affirmative vote appears to be made up of thirty-one democrats, four populists, including Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, and nine republicans, one of whom was Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania. The nays are made up of twenty-one republicans and ten democrats. ’Three democrats were paired for the bill and one against, while three republicans were paired against and one for. Consequently, the vote really stood thirty-four democrats for the bill to eleven against, while the republicans gave twenty-four votes against the 1>»1I and ten in favor. Senator Trill was paired In favor of the mens ore.”

Ed Corey Defeated in Four Minutes. The following telegram was sent from Logansport March 27: “Ed Corey, of Crawfordsville, and Johnny Bailey, a colored pugilist, are wanted for a prize fight held this morning near Bruce's Lake, in Fulton county. The match was made a week ago. About 200 sports accompanied the principals from here on a Vandalia train this morning. The fight lasted four minutes, Corey being easily bested. On the way back to Logansport the sheriff of Fulton county and his deputy, being on the train with an insane patient for the Logansport hospital, heard the talk and attempted to capture the principals. The crowd blocked the aisles and prevented the sheriff from getting at the men. The sheriff and his deputy were forced into the middle of the car and the two principals were let out the door. At the first station they got on the front platform of the baggage car and when the train slowed up in Logansport they jumped off. The crowd kept the officers on the train until the station was reached.” NORTH LIBERTY. Fred Thumm and wife have returned from a visit at South Bend. Chas.

GIGANTIC MAIL ROBBIKq । The Peculations at South Bend (k. L tinue. The following is an extract from article in the Chicago Inter Ocean Tuesday. March 27: “Citizens South Bend, lud., are agitated over a l gigantic system of mail robbing whi^ I has been in operation since last July and which has netted the thieves eeveral thousand dollars. The agitation is intensified by the fact that the mog searching investigation on the part o postofflee inspectors has failed to dis-I cover the pilferers. > ‘lt is a mystery; the more it is look^ into the more perplexing it becoiny? was the nearest approach to an ey V ' nation which Elmer Crockett, tin postmaster at South Bend, could , yesterday when questioned about £ stealing. £ Mr. Crockett admits without aIRL qualification that a wholaale plmxlerll

The solution of the mystery eo( ? tained in Mr. Crockett’s opinion r s what the government detectives grappling with just now. There is a large volume of opinitf 1 antagonistic to the official theory isting in South Bend. It is to be among the victims of the pilfering.
