&lje Jnikpcn&ent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. DEC. 15, 1894. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Elkhart is to have a new paper to be published in the interests of the populists. Japan has knocked a great deal of bigotry out of the “exclusive” Chinese nation. In the last one hundred years it is estimated that France has lost 6,000000 soldiers in war. A cool five million dollars was recently offered for the Chicago Tribune office, but was refused. Some people are meaner than is abBolutely necessary. They could be as well. into the WashlitgUtti Times. — lke anys that he expects to expend still more on the plant. Secretary Carlisle’s recommendation to retire the greenbacks from circulation will hardly meet with popular approval—just now, at least. Gen. Gasper Packard, the able editor of the New Albany Tribune, is prostrated by the breaking out afresh of a wound received at Vicksburg in 1863. It is to be hoped that the genial General will soon be himself again. Rev. N. I). Hillis, of Evanston, 111., has been called to fill the late Prof. Swing’s place as pastor of Central church, Chicago. Dr. Hillis is 35 years of age and is a preacher of the liberal type. He is of the Presbyterian faith. A great movement loosing to a reform in the government of the great cities of the United States is now on foot. The better class of citizens of the large cities are becoming thoroughly awakened and are exerting their influence in behalf of purer government. Public opinion is earnestly demanding more honesty and purity in politics. And this much desired condition, it is a pleasure to note, is gradually being brought about by the pressure of a healthy public sentiment. Let the good work proceed. When it is said that the Chinese government offers to settle its conflict with Japan by paying an indemnity of one hundred million taels besides defraying the expenses of the war, as one of the conditions of peace, the amount of indemnity, the Albany Times Union says, is somewhat indefinite. The tael is money of account (not coin) and its value varies. At Hsikwan a tael is worth $1.40, and at Shanghai $1.25. The South Bend Times says: “Miss Frances E. Willard says that good cooking is essential to human happiness, while bad cooking has driven thousands to drink. Miss Willard never spoke truer words, and yet thousands upon thousands of girls and women treat this important subject with the utmost indifference. The woman who isn't thoroughly informed in the art of good cooking may be said to have been very unmindful of her station.” The Fruit Trade Journal speaks of - the great foreign demand for apples. By reason of the crop failure the European stocks are now nearly depleled, and the United Kingdom will be compelled to look to America for future supplies. Some idea of the extent of traffic is gained from a glance at the shipments of almost 300,000 barrels thus far this season, against 1,119 barrels during a similarperiod last year. Last week the shipments were 73,000 barrels, against 178 barrels for the corresponding week of 1893. The Baldwins, Kings and pippins are the favorites for exportation, and the average price in Liverpool is about $2.65 a barrel. There is a deal of philosophy in this paragraph, culled from the Warsaw Times: “A man may die very rich, but When he does he reaches the condition of the poorest beggar the world knows. He doesn’t carry with him enough pocket money for ferriage over the first river. There is no blinder man upon the earth than he who looks abroad upon the poverty and distress and ignorance of the world, then counts the millions to his credit, and lies down and dies.” Men of great wealth are giving this subject some thought since Carnegie spoke so emphatically against hoarding millions up to the time of death.

A bill will probably be introduced in the next legislature for the removal of the state university from Bloomington to Indianapolis. The republicans of California will contest the election for governor in that state. They claim that their candidate, Budd, was elected. Millions of acres of free land have been opened to homesteaders in Montana. The land lies in the Blackfoot valley and is said to be of a very rich and productive kind. A Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal says that our present representative in congress will permanently retire from politics at the end of his term. He has purchased a handsome residence in Washington, and will divide his time between the capital and his old home in Elkhart. Foot ball is becoming more brutal than prize fighting, according to newspaper reports. The game will perhaps either be greatly modified or entirely a^olish£d_Uy tho-u’dyersi^eßjmd col- _ leges. A strong sentiment Is growing up against the game all over the country. Harry B. Darling has resigned the local editorship of the Elkhart Truth. He will hereafter devote his time to corresponding for city papers. Northern Indiana will now be strewn with petrified men, old hermits, and other startling curiosities for sbmo time to come. Mrs. J. R. Nichols is leading a war on the “wine rooms” of Indianapolis. There are over 200 of them. Scores of innocent young girls have been taken to these rooms and ruined, and yet they continue to exist. The frequenters are girls from 16 to 20 and boys from 16 up. The old farm where Abraham Lincoln was born is to be bought by an association and converted into a public park. The farm is located near Hodgenville, Kentucky. It is proposed to build an electric railway to the farm. The place will be another Mount Vernon. Dr. Searles, of Pittsburg, a man eminent in his profession, declares strongly in favor of apples as medicine. To eat apples just before retiring for the night he affirms is :.bout the best thing a person can do, no matter how delicate he may be. The apple has more phosphoric acid in an easy digestible shape than any vegetable. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep, thoroughly disinfects the mouth, regulates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secretions, prevents calculus growths, wards off indigestion, and is one of the best known preventatives of disease of the throat. And next to the orange and the lemon, it is the best antidote for the thirst and craving of alcoholic or opium appetite. The Armenian Question. Lord Kimberly, the British Minister of Foreign Affairs, has spoken on the Armenian question more freely than diplomatists are accustomed to speak to mixed audiences, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. This must be taken as an indication that her Majesty’s government is convinced of the enormity of the outrages committed by the Turks, and is resolved upon prevention of the recurrence of such evils, if not upon obtaining some measure of compensation for the injured or for their survivors. The position to which Lord Kimberly has pledged the British government is one in which it is likely to have the support of Rnssin, for the «reat empire . of Eastern Europe ever has been more L spirited than the Western powers of ; that continent in demands for the protection of the Christian subjects of the . Sultan. The time is ripe for insistence upon toleration to religious belief in i all parts of the world. It sounds j, strangely that the great powers of Europe and America that combined for the suppression of the trade in ’ human beings remain disunited in protest against a religious fanaticism that is even more cruel in effect than any 5 system of bodily slavery. Turkey is a j power that must obey when united Christendom demands obedience. And surely it is time for Christendom to j unite in a demand that the minds and j souls of men shall be as free as their , bodies. The apathy of Christendom has i J given strength to Turkish fanaticism. There are signs of universal awakening from this apathy. Religious liberty is an American as well as an Armenian question. The American press has spoken boldly; now let us bear the voices of American citizens. A good square horse blanket for 90 cents at F. M. Ake’s.

Varioloid at New Carlisle. The South Bend Sunday Nets of December 9 says: “A case of varioloid was discovered yesterday a, New Carlisle. The patient is a adored blacksmith named Shoeman. T(ie new Carlisle authorities made application for his admission to the pest Louse here and Attorney Frank Dunahoo, representing Attorney Brick, who is New Carlisle’s corporation council, went up and investigated, deciding that the patient must be kept New Carlisle. The town authoritie^promise the most rigid enforcement of the quarantine laws, which is mads necessary by the contagious character of the disease and by the fact that the patient is anxious to escape from the pest house.” When you go to LaPorte at Lay’s European hotel and restaurant Meals, 25 cents. | Bbort breath ored by Dr. Mllm’ H«»rfcnre. 1 _ jW" k'

As an instance of the gullibility of Hoosier towns, a Chicagoan stopped at Hebron and proceeded to buy up the town and all the inhabitants thereof. He bargained for ten large farms, tools, implements, horses, steers, etc., and much of the stuff was delivered at the hotel where he stopped. He then went to a dressmaker and ordered dresses for his horses, and then it dawned upon the minds of the unsophisticated Hebronites that the man was demented. He finally left town with a bushel bag filled with house cats.
