Jnbcpenbcnt. WALKKUTON. INDIANA. JULY ", 1894. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Coxey, Dobbs. Who next? There are 35,000 Knights of Pythias in Indiana, a gain of 2,500 the past year. —. Thirteen years ago last Monday President Garfield was shot by the assassin G uitean. Richmond" this state, claims to do a larger cigar business than any city of its size in the world. The difference between a cunning politician and a statesmen is wide, vet the two are sometimes confounded. The United States senate has passed a bill making Labor Day, the first Monday in September, a national holiday. News went over the wires to-day noon—Friday—that the soldiers had fired into the strikers at the stockyards, killing about eighty. Count your resources; learn what you are not lit for, and give up wishing for it; learn what you can do, and do it with all the energy at your command. —Montreal Star. Matthews is being strongly talked of in democratic circles for the presidential nomination. lie is a good governor, but isn’t it rushing things a little to talk him up for president? It's a toss up as to whether the miser or the spendthrift is the worse. There is a happy medium about midway between them that should be striven for.—lndianapolis Independent. The jury having found Prendergast sane, the execution of the assassin may possibly take place July 13, the dayset by Judge Payne for his execution. The attorneys for the defense may, however, be able to secure a new trial, and thus prolong the matter further. Everybody will rejoice over the testimony of the experts who examined the mental condition of Prendergast, viz., that he is sane and knows right from wrong. This furnishes good grounds for the hope that the assassin will now be punished in a manner commensurate with the heinousness of his crime. The tariff bill passed the Senate July 3, by a vote of 39 to 34. Hill was the only democratic member who voted against it; he could not endorse the income tax feature of the measure. The amended bill has been submitted to the House for consideration. It will perhaps undergo several more changes in that body. Coxey will enter the lecture field now and his followers will resume their old business of tramping and sleeping in straw stacks.—Rochester Sentinel. And that is all that Coxey’s wild goose chase will amount to. The cause of labor will not be advanced, but Coxey will profit by the notorietygained in his fanatical crusade upon Washington, while his deluded followers will “carry the banner” as usual. Labor does not always know who its best friends are. Hon. T. J. Wolfe has concluded not to enter the race for the nomination of joint senator for St. Joseph and Starke counties. It seems to be the feeling, however, of a large portion of the republicans of the coiußy. that thenomi-^ natinru-f **r?fr7dunreasons, should be given to a Walkerton man. It is probable, therefore, that W. A. Dailey will be a candidate for the place, as he is generally regarded throughout the county as a strong man and an able campaigner. The senatorial convention will be held in Walkerton August 1. A bad feature of the Pullman strike is that the innocent are being made to suffer most of the hard knocks for the sake of the guilty. The strikers are fighting Pullman over the shoulders of the railroads, and herein lies the great injustice us the strike. The general public is the sufferer. Mails and freight have been delayed, causing great disturbance to business and consequently annoyance and injury to the people. While the strikers may have grievances, and no doubt they have, yet there is no justice in making the public, which is innocent, suffer for the faults of the Pullman company. The present strike has been carried too far and the strikers, since pursuing the ! reckless policy they have, are rapidly | losing the friendly sympathies of the : people. |

It is not liberality to live beyond one’s means. It is selfishness based . upon a vainglorious desire for display regardless of cost to others. It is no longer a Pullman stike, but a contest between the United States government and the American Kailway Union. The outcome can easily be foretold. The New Orleans railroad men, upon an order from Debbs to strike, telegraphed back: “We are working for , the Illinois Central Railroad, not the Pullman Company. We have no grievance.” i ' Prendergast, the murderer of Carter Harrison, is again on trial; this time to ascertain if he is crazy. If he is r insane he will go to an asylum until cured and then go free. If he isn’t, ’ he must hang. And here is a defect in the criminal law. A murderer like I Prendergast should be imprisoned for life.—Rochester Sentinel. Shake. To use the word democracy in referr ring to the democratic party is not in I accordance with the best English. Yet the word is often used In that way byabie newspapers. “Republicanism,” in referring to the republican party, would be as proper a word as "democracy” when used in the sense above indicated. The Press on Anarchism. There is a possibility in dealing with anarchy that free speech may be curtailed. Better that than to foster blood curdling anachy.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. When these fellows are savage the law must be stern. It is weak and wicked folly to tolerate disorder in an orderly society so long as there is force and gunpowder to put it down.—New York Times. Whenever they show themselves in our country they should either be driven from it or placed in the safe seclusion of stone walls and iron bars. If they attempt crime, no mercy, but speedy and prompt justice. Pittsburg Post. We must suppress and exterminate the schools of anarchy. While we hang the anarchists who murder, we must suppress and punish the teachers of anarchy who incite revolts against the law andsocial order.—Toledo Commercial. Every government that is cursed with these wretches should adopt extreme measures againt them. Hence forth let Altgeldism and Waiteism be excoriated more bitterly than ever in our own country.—New York Advertiser. Anarchism is synonymous with assassination, and therefore not to be tolerated even in the mildest form by any civilized country. The proper way to deal with it, in other words, is to crush it while it is stiil in an incipient condition, and not wait for it to develop into murder.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. The Fourth. The eagle screamed and flopped his wings after a fashion in Walkerton on the glorious Fourth, though his efforts were somewhat feeble as compared with former times. There were some disappointments connected with the celebration for which no one was to klame but the strikers who are tying up trains in Chicago. The fireworks and balloons, which were ordered in good season, did not arrive here but remained packed away in a 1 freight car in Chicago. Another order was sent to Fort Wayne for tireworks but they could cot be obtained there, and the committee in charge of the celebration were obliged, greatly to their disappointment, to abandon that part of the program. This feature, however, came very nearly being supplied in the afternoon from an unexpected source. All alarm of fire startled the crowds upon upon the streets about half past three o’clock. A lighted firecracker had I been thrown from the street to the roof of the building occupied by George Leslie’s ice cream parlors and soon quite a blaze was started from it. Prompt work, however, soon put out the fire. This was the most exciting i feature of the day. In the afternoon the races were j held, the first being a foot race of 100 : yards between Del Rensberger and Will Huber. Rensberger was the victor, receiving a purse of §3. The next was a free for all foot race, Sid Ewing winning the purse, $L A bicycle race followed this, there being three entries—M. D. Leibole, Henry Muldoon and Jay Miller. Two heats of a half mile stretch were run, Leibole being the winner. The purse was $3. In the evening about 7:30 o’clock a sparring exhibition of four rounds was given by Vern Hardenbrook and . Benson Cook. i The Walkerton cornet band provided plenty of first-class music for I the day’s festivities. The day’s doings wound up with a ball in Bender’s opera house, which , was well attended. The music was 1 furnished by the Miller orchestra.

J The hotels and restaurants we all doing a flourishing business. s It is generally conceded that the democrats acted wisely in nominating S. Berti ini for joint senator. Bertram is a moral man and a good citizen. Jacob Bozarth got the nomination for joint representative of Starke and La-| Porte. The democrats could not have made a better selection. He is a Sunday school and temperance man and • a No. 1 citizen. On the 10th day of July the com i missioners meet to commence the' survey for straightening, cleaning out ' and deepening the channel of Yellow river.
