Sijc Jntkpcndcnt. IV \EKERTON, INDIANA. JUNE 16, 1894. W. A. ENDEKY, Editor. Congressman Conn has bought tha Washington, D. C., Times, a one cent morning paper. Judge I'ayne has finally refused to grant a continuance of Prendergast’s trial. Morg Weir is happy.— LaPorte Iler aid. Morg is not the only one who is Wpy« Happiness is the • art of extracting pleasure and contentment from the humbler circumstances and environments of life. Recently a Huntington minister said: “I desire to say a few words about the devil this evening, and I am awful full of my subject.” Prendergast’s case has again been postponed until the fall term of court. Are they going to monkey along with his case until this devil gets off scot free?

Senator Matt Quay, of Pennsylva nla, it is announced, will be a fullHedged candidate for the nomination for president before the next republican convention. The friends of .John W. Baker, editor of the Columbia City Commercial, are booming him for the Republican nomination for congress in the twelfth district. The Elkhart Journal has discovered that “though eight hours is about right for other people to work, the newspaper man will have to stick to his 1G hours as usual.” Those people who are the quickest to condemn and the loudest to talk about the failings of their fellow-men are generally the ones who will bear the closest watching. A more stringent immigration law is one of the crying needs of the times. This would no doubt go i.uUter towards suppressing the anarchistic spirit in tiou mmntry <» any other measure that could bt adopted.

Governor Matthews has shown himself to be a man of splendid judgement and plenty of good stiff vertabra in his prompt and decisive action in dealing with the coal mine troubles in this state. The governor is a man who does no fooling when duty bids him act. An exchange pertinently remarks: *‘lt is really wonderful what interest the press and pulpit take in the Breckenridge matter. From one end of the country to the other he is lampooned and denounced. The crowd seems to be terribly absent, minded on the few words that scattered the pharisees and annotated liars and hypocrites about eighteen hundred years ago, viz: ‘He that is without sin cast the first, stone.” When a person’s energies are so exhausted in gaining a livelihood as to prevent their advancement or improvement either morally or mentally, they are a slave to labor. When the rearing of a family works the same restrictions they are a slave, for the time being, to the family. Such slavery is entirely too prevalent, partly due to political uneconomy and partly due to the environment and disposition of the individual.— Wanatah News. The Valparaiso Messenger wants the Grubbs libel law amended in a manner similar to the recent libel law passed by the New York legislature, making it a misdemeanor for any one to deceive a newspaper with information which is libellous. Sensible! — Rochester Sentinel. That is a good suggestion. Our state legislators would cover themselves with glory by taking cognizance of this proposition and amending the state libel law in accordance with it. The Indiana libel law as it now stands is quite lame in some respects. In closing an editoral on the subject of education the Chicago Inter Ocean says: ’‘The great level of strength in this day is not wealth but education, and the demand for education is particularly great in a country that has its social and political basis not upon classes or masses but upon the indidividual, the equality of liberty and freedom of action making it more and more imperative as population increases and the standard of civilization is advanced that the individual should be fortified by education to make the best possible, competitive use of his powers and talents.”

Hon. James S. Dodge, of Elkhart, has been appointed aid-tie camp to the department commander of the G. A. R. of Indiana. A suicide club has been organized in Indianapolis. '['he members evidently organized for the good of their countiy. Tilteen are to die, one every six months. The time should have been made shorter. The Sun says: “Two have already shulHed off the mortal coil and another has announced that he will go by means of a rope.” The Lafayette Call denies the sensational rumor that has been going the rounds to the effect that the North Manchester college is about to lose the SIOOO,OOO recently bequeathed to that institution. The Rev. R. J. Parrett, of Lafayette, one of the trustees, says that the money will be forthcoming, and that Professor Krebheil, who is now principal of the Butler schools, will soon remove to North Manchester to assume the presidency of the college and that, Professor Howe, who is now president, will accept the chair of theology. From his pulpit Sunday Rev. Hood, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Monticello, read the riot, act to Gen.

. Coxey ami his clans. “I knew this Coxey personally at Massillon, Ohio, j the point at which this commonweal had its inception. He is a disgrace to bis family, is disowned bv his own father and brothers, is a gambler and a horse racer. And yet this charlatan, this vagrant, this libel upon mankind has the audacity to claim his infamous movement as a Christian uprising.” Nappanee Advance. 1 tamps an* nearly all professional beggars. They make a business of tramping, and they won’t work if there is any possible way of getting out of it. They care nothing for you, and in nine cases out of ten would steal from you, if they had an opportunit v, as a return for your kindness in feeding ‘ them. If all would quit giving them food the tramp evil would soon become a thing of the past. Just now, ! of course, during these times, there may be exceptional cases worthy of consideration. But. good judgement should be used and the indiscriminate ■ f • 1 i a void.’

In speaking of the feeling of Elkhart county toward the nomination of Royse for congress, the Review says: “While considerably disappointed be cause of the failure of ‘Private Jim’ to get the nomination which Mr. Royse has secured, no feeling has been engendered among the republicans of this county that will not speedily giv place to the most enthusiastic support of the latter gentleman, and we ven ture to say that when the ballots shall be counted next November it will be found that he has the largest plurality of any candidate who ever ran on the republican ticket in the Thirteenth ■ district.” A writer on political economy observes that the whole value to mankind of the study of political economy lies in the influence on pomilar opinion. It is not a thing which a scientist can carry into his laboratory and work over in supreme indifference to the rest of the world. Its subject matter is human affairs, or, as we have said, the play of the human mind on the phenomena of trade and industry. | Its object is to get individuals to understand this play and adapt to it their lives and their legislation. If it have not this in view, it is as profitless as the speculations of the schoolmen touching the number of angels that could get into the eye of a needle. The Michigan City News is of the opinion that there is too much “cut and dried” business about the candidacy of Hon. George Ford, of South Bend, for the circuit judgeship. In the course of an article bearing upon this subject the News says: “Already South Bend comes to the front with Mr. Geo. Ford, of that city, and his announcement coming out simultaneously with the withdrawal of Judge Noyes would indicate that the whole affair was a put-up scheme. This may work with those who concocted the job, but, there are other available candidates in the circuit whose rights should be recognized by the party and the star chamber withdrawal and introduction of Mr. Ford may have a reaction before the election is over 'that will prove serious. Michigan - City has two gentleman, prominent in . democratic circles, and well known at : the circuit bar, who would make very strong candidates, Mayor M. T. Krueger or Mr. Jas. F. Gallaher, I either one of whom would fill the office : with ability, dignity and honor, and G whom The News believes would be i available."

Heer mans probably surprised some of the audience in the IX nmg ot his remarks. He was •> t dier himself and he remembered that when the news came that Lee ha surrendered he had been on piX duty before Richmond formany hours He was a soldier of the confederate side and the downfall of the southern cause was at that time a smrowf event to him, but he said he cot 1 now join with the boys in blue in ’banking God tor it. Rev. Heenmms exhibited a little document dated Mav L 18G5, from which he read the oath that he then took of his fealty to the union, “and, he added, “ever since that date I have tried to keep that oath, and as long as [ live my mm. giance to the I nited States govtunmenl will be as true as that ofjmy I-nited States soldier.” Key jL' l mans related that he recently ^ned his old home in the south. SkA asked him how he was treated the north and tie told them that his jeatment was just as cordial ns if hefhad been a soldier in the northern cause. He expressed his pleasure at meeting the boys in blue around their camptire. 1 . 1 be L. L.
