(tljc independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. NOV. 24, 1894. W. A. EXDLEY, Editor. f The Indiana legislature will meet the 10th of next January. Congressman Wilson has been reported as saying that tariff reform will win in 1896. Texas elected one republican congressman, two populists and the rest democrats. Senator Brice predicts that Adlai Stevenson will be the next democratic nominee for president. Objector Holman expects to retire to the quiet of his farm near Aurora, Ind., for the rest of his days. Governor Altgeld is, as usual, making himself unwarrantably officious, by his bitter criticisms of President

Cleveland. Auditor of State Henderson has just , paid $200,000 more of the Slate debt, , making a total of $910,000 paid out of j the proceeds of the new tax law. । Judge John H. Baker, of Goshen, I says he is not a candidate for United 1 States senator. The report that he is ' a candidate, he states, is news to him. I I 111 ■■■■■■■ M. C. Baldwin in an article in the , Inter Ocean on the “World’s Wheat,” offers to wager SI,OOO that the present crop of wheat will reach 70 cents per bushel. The northern part of the state will be represented in the Indiana legislature by two newspaper men, W. C. B. Harrison, of the Goshen Times, and Frank W. Willis, of the Waterloo Press. Instead of throwing money away on torchlight processions and other tomfoolery victorious political parties are now in many instances jollifying by making donations to the poor. This is sensible and humane. Joel I’. Heatwole, formerly editor of the Middlebury, Ind., Record, was

elected to congress by the republicans in a Minnesota district, receiving a majority of over 5,000. He ran in the same district two years ago and was defeated. The J . - 1 are somewhat confusing to a great many people. Plurality means a “majority” over the next highest candidate, whereas a majority is the margin that one candidate receives over all opposing candidates. Let the Indiana republicans bear this in mind: If the officials they have elected fail to keep their promise the people will turn them out in short order. The element that is controlled by no party is the one that decides elections. This element is for good government. —Indianapolis Sun. Some people’s idea of able journalism is for an editor to always be abusing or ripping something or somebody up the back. IL is the easiest thing in the world for an editor to cut and slash and foam at the mouth, but nothing of that kind is to be seen now-a days in advanced journalism. That kind of newspaper work will do for amateurs and smart alecks who desire to impress the public with their wonderful smartness. A newspaper rumor lias it that there is a movement largely in the hands of Senators Stewart, Jones and Pettigrew for demanding by the silver men that the republican party in the platform of ’96 shall declare unequivocally for free coinage of silver. If this is refused they propose to make Senator Cameron the'"slamta?n'

— x even said that Cameron has already consented to run. The most remarkable creature in the world is the hydra, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It does not amount to much physically, for it is nothing but a sack, open at one end and fastened by the other to a stone, but it is almost impossible to kill it. Turn a hydra inside out and it will get along ju^t as well as before. Trembley, the French naturalist, cut hydras in slices, and each, in a few days, became a full-grown animal. He grafted them and produced monsters with six mouths and only one body. He divided them longitudinally and produced a cluster of hydras. He found this creature is superior even to decomposition, for when a part of a hydra’s body decays it simply throws it off and replaces it, as a matter of course.

Now that the republicans have held their election the question naturally : arises when do the democrats intend to hold theirs. Gov. Altgeld continues to pitch into _ Grover Cleveland, charging him with having utterly demoralized the party 1 that was so kind, so generous to him, and pronounces him an ingrate of the deepest dye. There isn’t much chance ! for a dispute over these points, but unfortunately Gov. Altgeld is not exactly situated to throw stones. He himself has done the party proportionately I as much injury as has the man in the White House.—South Bend Times. The Indianapolis Journal certainly reflects the sentiments of all good citizens in the following article on the Australian ballot system: “While the Jounrai is and always has been in favor of the main features of the present election law', especially the official ballot, the secret sy stem of voting- the exclusion of bystanders from the poMo otn if I.

operation of the law can be improved in some respects and that the cost of elections can be reduced without impairing the efficiency of the law. Owing to the increase in the number of precincts, the cost of advertising, printing, per diem as officers, etc., an election now costs more than twice as much as formerly. No expense is too great to obtain a fair and honest, election, but if election expenses can be reduced without impairing the efficiency of the law in this direction il should be done.” I’rof. Richard T. Ely says it is an । extreme absurdity to teach every American youth that he can be president of the United States if he wishes. Perhaps this teaching has been overdone, for the prize can only be gained by about live men in a generation. When a boy finds himself grubbing in a soddy cornfield, or digging potatoes where the weed crop predominates, mindful of this high possibility he begins dreaming his way through the country store or lawyer’s office to the most honorable place in the land. Instead of offering a lottery ticket, therefore, shall we not give these stirring youths objects of ambition capa-

-—O J • ble of being reached by all? Go out into the soddy cornfield to the desponding boy and explain to Idm the modern cultivation and modern systems of cropping. Go into th- — ’ Ult- liUUi er who has fun farming, and raises big crops of potatoes and makes a pocketful of money, doesn't let a weed show its third leaf if he can help it. Touch the boy’s ambition to be a better farmer—not to be better than a farmer. WONDERS OF INDIAN A. A citizen of Mazeppa, Ga., tells the following story: A man with a drove of mules, the man claiming to be from Indiana, stopped for the night with the citizen’s father. The family had an idea that Indiana was near the north pole, and asked a great many questions about the c. niAy In answer to questions the Indiana man said : “Yes, the nights are shorter, but they have a d d sight more of them and they are darker.” Tie had seen it so dark there that yon couldn’t see the headlight of a locomotive thirty feet. He also said it was a good fish country ; that you could not ride a horse across a creek without knocking out a twohorse wagon load of fish; but that be had only gone fishing once, and then only caught but one fish, and when he pulled the fish out of the Mississippi river the river fell six inches from its mouth to Cairo. He also said it was a 1 fine timber country. A few' days before he left home he cut down a tree that measured exactly one hundred 1 vards long, a hurst entirely open and Wlb hundred yards

a fishing pole into it endways. The place opened by splitting the log was then being used for a wagon road. He also said it was a very healthy country; that only one man had died in twenty years, and they had to pull his last breath with a corkscrew. A young clock peddler was also spending the night with bis father, and he asked if it would be a good country to sell clocks. The Indiana man said not; they bad no use for clocks; that they kept time by the growth of pumpkin vines, which grew five feet each hour. He said it was the best vegetable country in the world. Every kind grew well except beets, and they grew so long they stuck through into China, and the Chinamen j pulled them through. In answer to a ; question whether it was a cold couni try or not he said it was awful cold, he had seen a blaze of fire freeze to the back of the chimney, and they bad to knock it loose with a pole-ax. —Ex.
