FROM WASHINGTON. Ed. Independent: I promised to write something for this week’s issue of your paper. Have been here but one day audit has taken that time to settle myself, for it keeps a’Hoosier doctor a hustling to keep located, but it is a sure enough fact we are in it. The universe, the earth, the western hemisphere, North America, the United States, Indiana. St. Joseph county, Lincoln twp., Walkerton, on Pine creek. After almost a quarter of a century of indifferent existence on the banks of historic —■ .mo npirit of progress (or a free pass) to drop his vaccine points and come here to attend the American Medical Congress in this place. We are here a “petition in boots” mainly free passes We didn’t walk. The city is full of doctors, brigades of them. Washington is ours ! Great is Escnlapins! When I b aided the train at Walkerton I found some old friends aboard bound for the great Dunkard meeting at Myersdale, Ta. Jacob Hildebrand, David Clem, Geo. Clem, Mr. Eversole and Rev. Peters; the lust two came all the way from North Dak ota to attend. Good luck attended ns till we reached Connellsville, Fa. This is the heart of the great coke and coal region where labor struggles for a bare existence. Here we were detained by a wreck on the railroad. A train ahead of us had just been ditched ami was still bnruingand in it burned three men, these with fifteen miners and coke burners lay in Conuelsville. There we were delayed some hours by the wreck . It wan Sunday, but there was a great crowd of excited people in town. The coke burners were on a strike ami these mnidered mon wore a few of tire bnlKt ridden vietinin that are yearly sacrificed to that Moiloch ’ of incorporate greed. Three of thewe men were shot down by Pinkerton deputies, while they fled from arrest for the sin of mass molding. After a few hours wo moved abend leaving Connelsville alone in the heart of the mountains to mourn over om dead. Many of those with us have 1 failed to see in all that bloody horror the band wiiting on the wall. It is there in human blood, so plain that it is visible to the eyes of congiessjn Washington and they should take hoed. To-day (Monday) we spent in Io >k ing over the capitol buildings and ground. Grandly magnificent, beautiful ns a dream is all that I can say < f it. The wonderful flowers and plants, the green gruss, Ah. there! How tempting it looked to a poor tired medical tramp, but it required no small pox sign to keep us off it. No, no, indeed! The fate of poor Coxey now lying in jail for “stepping on the grass” was enough to touch the pride ' of a plebeian and I would not have ' let my poor little dog Towsor (yon know him) on it bad they sent him an invitation to do so. Sloisie on them. 1 C<>xey was here in behalf of Hint labor 1 of which Lincoln said, “Labor's the producer of capital and therefore ••■avfhv Hie hieh.-r oonsiderat ion.” Knightly words fitly spoken. Dut a advise the laborer t© not come here for that consideration spoken of by Lincoln, unless they wear clothes like lob byists and boodlers, if they do they will be crowded ou the grass and arrested. From the grave senator, private secretary, policeman and valet to the bully bull dog chained in the groundsail wear that same frozen look of “keep off the grass.” Washington is a political maelstrom whose vortex is the enslavement of labor. Truly a monumental city full of pride, of place, of power and beauty and intellect, but there is over all a conscious sense of wickedness. The surface indicates a vast amount of immorality and vice. It may have its virtue, but if it has it is like other val uables hidden from sight. If stepping on the grass is sin jailable, what should their least virtue be? It may be that time will cure the ills which beset labor, but I say to labor organizers, trust it not. Goon, agitate, agitate! agitate! Send on your “petition iu boots,” iu boats, in ears, sentinels on the watch towers with eyes that never wince and hearts that never falter. Keep your lamps burning to illume your pathway to victory and as. eternal vigilance is the price of lib< rty , ao is it aure that truth is omnipotent '

And yet people are silly enl igh to feed them under the mistaken idea that they are out of work anti need assistance. Every man of them could get work if he wanted it, but work is what they don’t want.—Laporte Argus. Remember that apples have been worth more than oranges for the last six months, says the LaPorte Argus. The trees are full of blossoms and there is good profit in raising apples. The fruit can be grown as well here as it ever was, but it is as necessary to spray the trees as it is to spray potato vines. It is time to spray now, or any time will do until the apples get to be as big as a good-sized cranberry. With the small-pox raging in various parts of the country Walkerton should be preparing to guard against the encroachment of this disease. While our town may be in no immediate danger from the scourge, yet it is well to be fortified against it. Dirt and filth, it is well known, furnish an inviting field for disease germs, and it is therefore all important thatUie alleys, etc., be thorougii- ■ I'he tev-1- “(V'

E. church last Sunday morning, Jesse Coppock Post, G. A. R., attending in a body. Rev. Stockbarger delivered a very interesting sermon which was specially appropriate to the occasion. The attendance was large and the exercises throughout were of a very pleasing character. A Marvelous Town. The South Bend 'Times scrcastically remarks: “Think of a city like LaPorte, with 7,122 inhabitants at the lastcenana, having over 4,000 children of a school ago—that is, between G and 21 years. Estimating 1,500 more a« !>elow six years of ago, it leaves only almut 2,000 adults at the present time in that whole city. Such fecundity is a marvel—a miracle!” A CARD To the delegates of Lincoln township, n'prfsonting the republicans in couv»nti»n May 26.
