Ctjc Sniscpcniscnt. WALKERTON. INDIANA. JUNE 30. 1894. W. A. EX DUE Y, Editor. Congressman Conn has just delivered his first speech in congress. An exchange suggests that a good way to keep a commonwealer off the gruss is to offer him a lawn mower or ji rake. The richest man is not the one who has the most, but the one who can be most thankful for the least.—Hamshorn. Our Congressman Conn has a little booinlet for president way down in Arkansaw. It is, of course, of the evanescent kind. President Cleveland seems dissatisfied with the White House as a place of residence. The malarial climate "®®WsWWS*S?^tMUM»u&seem to agree with him. Gen. J. R. Carnahan, of the Uniform Rank, K. of P., says 5,000 Indianians will be in Washington during the K. of I’, encampment and that probably all of the nine regiments of the state will attend. Comptroller Eckels thinks, as do the majority of people, for that matter, that “the present standstill in business cannot continue long when the tariff question is settled. Os necessity there must be a business revival.” Gen. Lew’ Wallace is now writing another novel which is to be placed in the hands of the book publishers before fall. The book, it is said, will be a surprise to those who have read “Ben Hur” and the other works written by the general. There will be nothing of an Oriental character in the new novel, but it will be strictly American throughout. Hon. L. W. Royse, the republican candidate for congress in the Thirteenth district, is 4G years of age and was bom near Warsaw. He taught eight terms of country school, studying law at the same time. He was admitted to the bar in 1875, was elected prosecuting attorney in 1876, elected Mayor of Warsaw in 1885, serving three terms, and was on the republican state central committee . four years. The fight is on now in earnest between the American Railway Union and the Pullman car company. The railway men have declared a boycott upon Pullman coaches, and put this declaration into effect for the first on last Tuesday evening by blocking trains in Chicago on the Illinois Central and Fort Wayne systems. Traffic was thereby delayed for about three hours. The situation looks serious and there is great danger of turbulent demonstrations and bloodshed before the affair is settled. The county superintendents, in session at Indianapolis, adopted the rule to hold examinations on the last Saturday of each month. A general average of 75 per cent, with no examination falling below 65 per cent, will entitle the applicant to six month’s license. An average of 95 per cent, with no examination below 85 per cent, will entitle the applicant to twenty-four months’ license. In resolutions it was stated that the amount for county institutes should be doubled, that the school book law should 1 be amended, that the text book may be placed in the hands of local dealers and that more high schools be established in towns and townships. The term “Hoosier” originated in a very peculiar way, according to the Indianapolis News. The Hon. O. H. Smith, who came to Indiana in 1817, placed on record in 1820 the following incident: “The night was dark, the rain falling in torrents, when the inmates of a small log cabiu in the' woods of early Indiana were aroused from their slumbers by a loud knocking at the door. The man of the house, as he had been accustomed to do on like occasions, rose from his bed and halloed: ‘Who’s here?’ The outsiders answered: ‘Friends, out bird catching. Can we stay till morning?’ The door was opened, and the strangers entered. A good log fire soon gave light and warmth to the room. Said the stranger to the host: ‘What did you say when 1 knocked? ‘I said “Who’s here.” ’ ‘I thought you said Hoosier.’ The bird catchers left after breakfast, but next night returned and halloed at the door ‘Hoosier!’ and from that time the Indianians have been called ‘Hoosiers’ —a name that will stick to them as long as ‘Buckeye’ will to Ohio, or ‘Suckers io Illinoisans.”

Old King Coal is not such a merr v old soul, at the present writing. The Pullman troubles are becoming more and more complicated. Trains on fifteen railroads running into Chi- : eago were tied up on Thursday. The Knights of Labor employed at the stock yards have been ordered to fight in unison. Should this order be carl ried out operations at the packing - houses are likely to cease. Matters are getting badly tangled up ami keep growing more so, and the end is not yet. * The Huntington Herald has this ad- ■ vice to young men: “Young man, life's discipline and life’s success come from hard work and early self denial; and hard-earned success Is all the sweeter at the time when old years climb upon your shoulders and you need propping up. Save a part of your weekly earnings, even if it be no f more than a quarter of a dollar, and j put your savings monthly into a savj ings bank. Buy nothing until you can pay for it and buy nothing you do not need. A young man who has grit enough to follow these rules will have taken the first step upward to success in business.” Several years ago when the prom, inence of the late William Walter Phelps in partisan affairs rendered him a favorite mark of the political caricaturist, the fact that he wore “bangs" was greatly dwelt upon and the seemingly effeminate whim of the gentleman made the most of. Since his death it is stated that the use of those “bangs” was to hide a repulsive scar upon his forehead which was received in rescuing u human life almost at the expense of his own. It was an act of great heroism, but Mr. Phelps seldom spoke of it. It is said he was the most lovable man in public life, with the gentlest disposition, and studiously avoided uttering an unkind word to any one, but withal, an ardent partisan. Ex. Don't Encourage Tramps. The St. Joseph, Mich-, Press, gives an account of an old lady of seventy summers being assaulted by one of those unfortunate tramps, upon whom so much sympathy is wasted by so many well meaning but misguided people. Commenting upon the affair the Press very pertinently says: "From the stand point of some of our contemporaries perhaps this venerable mother, seventy-three years old, hud no business gadding about inflaming the passions of this unfortunate hobo, out of work, and hence peculiarly vulnerable to temptations of this sort. Quite a number of penny a liners have been barking recently because our marshal set a lot of lazy hoboes at work on the streets and thus thinned them out of this vicinity. We want to say to these moulders of the public opinion that if they are looking for that kind of notoriety which some people get in no other way than by taking the wrong ' side of every question and compelling i attention by their unique and blatant j tom foolery, they are on the right tow | path. Parson Jasper of "de sun do move" fame is a fellow of that ilk. On the other hand any journalist, who will apologize for the existence of the armed and organized bands of marauding tramps which are cursing and defiling this country today, is not only an ignoramous but is little short of being an accessory to some of the fiendish work done by these peripatetic para sites on the body politic. There is not I au anarchist or wife beater apprehendl ed and sentenced but what some snivel- | ling, sentimental fool must needs visit the condemned felon and bedeck his stinking carcass with flowers, and thus glorify and justify, in a sneaking way, the crime committed.” Picked Up. Advice should be well shaken before taken. A life of crime is often the result of running in debt. Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a whole ship. i The more you love yourself the less j you will be loved by others. One may live as a conqueror, a ' king, or a magistrate; but he must die 1 as a man. Some men are so lazy they wouldn’t > want the earth, unless you would take - it to them. A lovely flower that sends forth no - odor is as attractive as a beautiful fe--3 male without refinement. 5 Many a man who claims to be look- : ing for work wouldn’t recognize a job ? i if it stepped up and tapped him on i, the shoulder. t j Man is an animal that can not long - be left in safety without occupation; - the growth of the fallow nature is apt - to run to weeds. a The perfectly independent man may g be an admirable character, but he r doesn’t know what it is to have the absolute devotion of friends.
