ijc ^nbcpcnticnt. WALKERTON. INDIANA. MAY 19, 1891. IV. V. ENDLEY, IMitor. The 'l'iines at Kokomo has suspended. Pullm m, the palace ear man, says he was happier when he hadn't a dollar than he is now with $50,000,000. Thomas A. Starr, editor of the I Goshen News, left. last, week for Europe on a health and pleasure trip. It is the opinion of the Smith Bend 'l'imes that Hoke Smith had a great ' deal to do with the republican victories in this state. W. C. B. Harrison, city editor of the Goshen Times, has been nominated by the republicans of Elkhart and Kosciusko counties for joint representative. The small pox epidemic in Chicago is becoming absolutely alarming.! There are now over four hundred eases ami the disease is st ill spraining. It is really unsafe to go to Chicago now. The Indiana state board of. health is thinking of quarantining the state against the disease. Breckinridge has opened his campaign for congress in Ids old Kentucky district. He will probably be sent back to congress, while Miss Madeline will be sent to some asylum for iriemb . less women. With all our boasted civilization there are yet some inequtUities that need to be evened up. H. H. Kohlsaat has sold his confix Hing interest in the Chicago Inter Ocean to William Penn Nixon for $400,000. It is rumored that Mr. Koblsaat is figuring on getting control of the New York Tribune. The intro duction of a little western dash and spirit into the management of that paper would not injure it a bit. Gov. Matthews has the right idea of the Coxey movement. There are no doubt honest and sincere men in the ranks of the armies, and they believe their mission is to do good, but their methods are wrong. The general pub lie will largely sympathize with the principles for which the “armies ’ con tend, but beyond that they will not sun. knows whether to believe it or not. The city press is losing a large share of the prestige and intlm :ice that it once enjoyed. And the cause of this is largely due to the l)ing mm-] s; r correspondents throughout the c ;n---try. The press of the country sh aid in unison demand that laws E ] i-s--d making the work of these Munchausens felonious. An Indianapolis special to the Chicago Tribune says; “Harry A New, editor of the IndianapMis .Journal, authorized the announcement that Benjamin Harrison’s name would be presented to the next Republican national convention, ami he । r. diet* 1 with much confidence that Gen. Harrison will be the nominee. He bases his reason for this prediction o’ in formation daily pouring in from all parts of the country going to show tin great popularity of the ex president. ‘Outside a few politicians,’ said Mr. New, -General Harrison will have the enthusiastic and popular support of the people. I believe the people will demand Gen. Harrison as the m minee, and he would not refuse such an honor.’ ” Fred Douglass, being asked in Boston why there are no Coxey demonstrations in the south, said: “It is. I sum, f tide of I the employer for the empbn .d, i m because the laboring class in the south has not yet reached the point of agitation. The labor question at the South is far different from (hat at the North. In the smith the employer once owned the labor, because it uns more convenient f w him to do so. Now that the negro is free Ids condition is but little better than serfdom. 'L'hronghout the smith admit the . nlv people who work are the negroes. The average rate of farm wages is from $8 to 810 a. month, payable in orders on the store. No money is paid, hence the negro has no opportunity to lay up money. At the end of the season there is a reckoning, and the laborer is always brought out in debt. There is a law in some of the southern states that a laborer in debt cannot go away until that debt is cam celed. The result, is that the negro is fastened to the soil and is little better than a serf. The delermimil ion of the whites ol the south is to kep the blacks under.”

It seems to be the prevailing opinion | that the average Coxeyite will never lose his eyesight, looking for work. An unknown writer makes a good ; hit in the following: “Pride is increased by ignorance; those assume the most who know the least.” There is a great demand for farm laborers at good wages in many parts of the country, but this demand, it i seems, can not be supplied. There I are too many “laboringmen” now hard at work in the Coxey movement and can't get away. While work is generally slack in factories, yet there are thousands of jobs I in other lines of work that go begging because there are so many men who are afraid of work. While this is the ease it is also true that thousands of laboringmen who are anxious to make an honest living for their families can find nothing to do. The latter class of men are deserving of help and sympathy. You will find a very small percent of this honest, industrious ■ class of laborei’s, however, identified with such wild, unreasonable movc- ; ments as that of the Coxeyites. This I movement is made up largely ’ of men who are shiftless and have been trying to get away i from work all their lives. The Coxey i movement is furnishing this kind of i men a glorious opport unity for the in- ■ diligence of their peculiar tastes for excitement and a life of vagrancy. Hundreds of these Coxeyites have .been gathered from localities where . work is abundant at good, living i wages. But the fact is, these men d । not want work, without they can have a real soil snap presented to them on .I a silver salver. And it is the en- , couragement of such ent uprises a that of the common we.dels that r ■ having a very baneful inthience mi i this kind of men. It is tending t make them still more shiftless and i ! imbuing them with a greater aversion, iif possible, to work. The movement ■ will not help the worthy class of work I ing people, while it is b iving a de ’ i moralizing effect upon the laboring ‘| classes in general. the Coxey mow ‘ 1 ment is theiefore a bad one, ami the sooner the country is rid of it the better it nill be foi all.

The Bourbon telegraph liar and the ■ operator at that place have been ar- 1 rested for sending false reports to the ' city press, stating that there were ten or more cases of small pox at Plymouth, that the city was quarantined and that trains ran through without stopping. The report was without foundation, and the Plymouth authorities had the men arrested. It is a ! quest ion whether there is any law to ' cover their case. It will be very nn- j fortunate if there is not. If these men could be made to smoke for their act it might prove a wholesome precedent and be the means of putting a stop to the wholesale lying being in-
