<£i)e independent. WALKKUTON, INDIANA. JULY 28, 1894. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. War has been declared between China and Japan. The U. S. troops have been withdrawn from Chicago. The Debs contempt case has been continued to Sept. 5. Labor organizations in Indiana are endorsing Debs for governor. Col. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, has received his walking papers from the Masonic fraternity. The democratic state convention will be held at Indianapolis August 15, and will consist, of 1,747 delegates. AVhoso keepeth the law is a wise son, but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.— Solomon. Cholera is again raging in Europe, and the United States is therefore more or less in danger of a visit from the scourge. A report has gained circulation that President Cleveland is ambitious for a third term. There can hardly be any truth in the report. The price of sugar is advancing as a result of the recent tariff legislation. That sugar schedule is a clear robbery of the people. Tne recent call upon the military companies to quell the riots seems to have caused a craze for organizing military companies in various parts of the state. One would think that recent events would make such things very unpopular with the boys. The trial of Debs and his lieutenants, now in jail awaiting their hearing, will in all probability come to naught. The leaders of the strike of 1887 who were tried escaped punish ment. The Debs trial wi it is likely, be largely of a farcical nt ire. Chas. B. Landis, of Delphi, nomi naled by the republicans for congress from the Tenth district, declines to run. His candidacy, be thinks, would Teal counties in the district. Charley could not have done a wiser thing than to decline. He has strengthened himself with his party, besides escap ing almost certain defeat. Charles Mowbray, a blatant anarchist from London, Eng., has landed at New York and proposes to estab lish an anarchistic propaganda. He has been a source of annoyance in England by his fiery. lawless speeches, and now this country is to have a taste of the same. He is going to tell us how to run our government. Why should the peace of this fail land be disturbed by mischievous agitators of the Mowbray stripe? If those blood-thirsty anarchists who can barely talk English and know little or nothing of this grand, free country, art* allowed to vote, why shouldn't intelligent, native American women be permitted the privilege of exercising the right of suffrage? When one considers carefully the suffrage question in all its bearings and reflects upon the injustice and inequalities of the present system of suffrage the whole affair looks ridiculous, like a farce. Either give the women the right to vote or take away this privilege of citizenship from the red handed, ignorant and depraved anarchist who comes to this country <• * .Amro# Senator Peffer, of Kansas, last week introduced the following ominous resolutions in the senate: 1. That all public functions ought to be exercised through public agents. 2. That all interstate railroads ought to be brought under one control and the supervision of public officers, and charges for train transportation of persons and property throughout the United States ought to be uniform ami that wages of employes ought to be regulated by law and paid promptly in money. 3. That all coal beds ought to be owned and worked by the government, and that the wages of the employes should be paid in money when due. 4. That all money used by the people ought to be supplied only by the government of the United States and that the rate of interest ought to be uniform in all states. 5. That all revenues of the government ought to be raised by taxes on real estate. The resolution met with little, favor from the senate, and was laid aside until some Inline time.

Judge Johnston, the other republican candidate for congress in the : Tenth district, has followed Landis by declining to run. This removes com- : plications and gives the republicans of the Tenth district a fighting chance : for success. 1 Terre Haute Gazette: “Before we cumber the statute books with other laws suppose we enforce the great law’ of nature that a man who wants to work has a right to work ami that he is entitled to and must receive the protection of the government in the exercise of that right. Jap Lewis and Captain Burns, of South Bend, Chris Holler, of Portage townshia, Dr. J. B. Greene, of Mishawaka, and W. A. Dailey, of Walkerton, are the candidates, up to date, for the nomination of joint senator from St. Joseph ami Starke counties. There may be a few more townships yet to be heard from. The democratic committee of the Thirteenth district which assembled at Sou tli Bend last, Tuesday to consider Conn's declinat ion, concluded to accept Mr. Conn, his little platform and all. At this writing Friday morning—Mr. Conn has not been heard from, but the probability is that he will be the democratic candidate for congress in the Thirteenth district. The Elkhart Journal carries at the head of its editorial columns two alleged utterances of Abraham Lincoln's on the relations of labor and capital, one of which is garbled so ns completely to distort its meaning, and the other is a forgery. It is surprising how determined some men are to believe a lie.—lndianapolis Journal. Bro. Woolpert ought not to bring such practices from the ministry into journalism. Albion New Lia. It is hard to learn an old dog now tricks. The elder’s old practices, acquired from long years of application, still cling tenaciously to him. Here Is a series of remarkable coincidences regarding the fatal number l 12. The Chicago News Record says: ' “In the first place I’. E. Prendergast's name contains 13 letters, so does that of his victim , that of Inspector Shen । who conducted the Aral investigation I uX Um mULvIcL and Coroner McHale, <1 imv Brentano, who lint tried Prendergast, Judge Chetlain, who heard the arguments as to the prisoner’s sanity. Judge Grosscup, of the federal court to whom an appeal for a writ of habeas corpus was made, James H. Gilbert, the sheriff of Cook county, Joseph Krimble and Charles Morton, deputies who constituted the death watch, Charles Tayhr and James Hastings, two other deputies who re mained with the prisoner until the ’ hour of execution, Father Muldoon, the spiritual adviser and Dr. Fortner, the county physician who signed the ' death certificate. There were 13 witnesses to the hanging who signed , the certificate. The cell that Prender- . gast occupied was number 13, the first trial began December 13, and lasted 13 days, and the execution occurred , July 13. ) Business. R. G. Dun & Co’s. Weekly Review 3 of Trade says in its last report: - “When circumstances are duly weighs ed the strength ami soundness of - business in this country during the - past two weeks are amazing. With ,• the second city in the country in the * hands of a lawless and murderous I mob, besides many other cities and with l ull way traffic, al most entirely stopped over the vast area uvi.tw.. t vUo PaciUc, with * presidential proclamations declaring - the existence of an insurrection, and 1 the passionate answer ordering half a I million men to stop work, with a pro--1 longed strike of coal miners not fully * ended in many states, and with dis--5 ferences bet ween the house and senate [ on the tariff question so wide that - duties affecting mining ami manu- > factures cannot be anticipated, in- , I dustries and trade have nevertheless j! gone on with sublime confidence that I the people and their government ; would soon restore order. The shrinkage of business and the depres- . sion of values have been unexpectedly small, the failures relatively few and unimportant, and there are even signs ' j in some industries of actual progress ’ ■ toward actual recovery from previous ‘ troubles. It is a good foundation for 1 | hope that firm and wise action by the • ' government has been upheld by the ! loyal people; that order has been genU erally restored and the blockade of : transportation has nearly ceased, and J ; the wage earners have in the main re I : fused to arrest industries with the dic- | tatiou of leaders,”

The Hawaiian Islands were proclaimed a republic on July 4, Sl ’ n . ford E. Dole who was president of the provisional government, is continued at the head of the new republic. The democrats of Portage township and South Bend through their central committees, have resolved that the proceedings of the judicial convention at Plymouth were irregular and invalid, and request that the democratic central committee of the county instruct its chairman to unite with the chairman of LaPorte county in a call to hold another convention to nominate candidates for judge and prosecutor for the 32nd judicial circuit. The question is often asked regarding the law of the street for pedestrians. A lawyer answers as follows: “The streets belong to teamsand vehicles, and pedestrians have no more right on them than teams would^mve on the sidewalk. The crosswalk^ t street corners belong to who have the right-of-way there law against teams. Many <liive« ‘gnore the law, go dashing oveF^’ross walks, endangering the life and limb of the pedestrian, without once thinking that they were violating the law by driving rapidly over a crossing, nor can a driver obstruct the street crossings.” ■ — No finer tribute to the immortality of the soul has ever been delivered in । the 11 mse of Representatives, it is said, than the following which fell from the lips of ( mgressman Bryan, of Nebraska, last Saturday in an eulogy on the late Representative Houk, of Ohio: ‘ If the Father designs to touch with divine power the cold and pulse less heart of the buried acorn, and make it to burst forth from its prison nails, will lie leave neglected in the earth the .soul of man who was made In the image of his Creator? If He stoops to give to the rosebush, whose withered blossoms float tipm the autumn breeze, the sweet assurance of another springtime, will He withold thewords of hope from the sons of men when the frosts of winter conic? If u dtei , mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of nature into a multitude of forms, can never die. will tin* spirit <>( man suffer annihlia- , lion after it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest, to this tenement of clay? “Rather let us believe that He who, in his apparent prodigality, wastee not the raindrop, tin' blade of gra<i, or th® _ hut the mortal, and galhFied to the generous spirit of our friend.”* - Washington c-t. imlmimpolls News.
