Clje Jndcpcndcnt. WALKKRTON. INDIANA. JAN. 12. 1895 'V. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Cleveland and Hill have apparently kissed and made up. The Carlisle currency bill was killed in (he house of representatives. A rich diamond Held has just been discovered in Tasmania, an Australian island. Gov. Matthews has pardoned more convicts than any of the Indiana governors. J. C. Adams, of Indianapolis, was elected speaker of the Indiana house of representatives. The habit of not using their minds while making speeches, which many of our congressmen have fallen into, is a very bad one. “Down with the decolette corsage!” exclaims Afr. Grannis. Jimminy Christmas! how much lower down? I J.oufsville Courier Journal. Bob Ingersoll once snid that he t would not believe there was a hell un ( til Missouri went republican. Will । Bob now redeem his pledge? It takes twelve million two cent s stamps to supply the United States every day, to say nothing of the n stamps of other denominations that 1 are used. Garrett has passed an ordinance for- । bidding young boys from being on . the streets after 8 o’clock in the even- । ing. If every town would enforce a similar ordinance it would be better for the rising generation and all con cerned. The selection of Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, as successor to the late Senator Stockbridge in the United States senate could not have fallen upon a more worthy man. He is not only one of the ablest statesmen of which this nation can boast, but is one of its truest and noblest men. .The late Sim Coy, of Indianapolis, was a saloon keeper, and is said to have been one of the few in that business who never drank a drop of liquor for twenty years. It is said of the man, that, he was honorable and just in all business relations and his word was as good as a bond, excepting in politics. State Superintendent Voreis has called upon the county school superintendents to assist him in establishing school libraries throughout the state. This is a move in the right direction. A more thorough dissemmination of general literature among pupils is one of the great needs of our public school system. An Indianapolis dispatch says that Indiana will have a Chautauqua summer resort which, it is intended, shall eventually rival the New York association. It is to be a Presbyterian association and the state synod committee, in session, has definitely settled on Bass Lake, Starke county, as the location. Twenty stockholders,, representing $50,000 paid-up stock, with which to start it off, were at the meeting, which was held to receive bids for a site. An exchange makes this revelation and if it is true it is of greater importance than may be generally supposed: A great many incorporated societies, secret and otherwise, do not know that it is necessary to have a standing in court, for them to have the proceedings in connection with the election of trustees duly recorded by the county recorder each year. In ‘ case it ever becomes necessary to have 6 legal proceedings, it is important that legal requirements have been com- : plied with. Judge Timothy E. Howard in a re- ( cent communication to the South Bend Sunday News gives some good reasons why the taxpayers of St. Joseph county should not be burdened 1 with the expense that would be in- : curred by the building of a new court 1 house which is being mildly agitated in the northern part of the county at present. The judge believes that the I present court house with the addition of about twenty feet to the back part i of the building would afford ample room for the county olllcers. As to the statement that the building is old style, the judge thinks that there is no good reason for desiring a change in - the style of architecture. The judge’s j views on this question seem very sen- i Bible.

Senator Turpie is making a vigor- * ous tight on the Nicaraguan canal scheme. . 11. B. Oglesbee, of Plymouth, is a candidate for secretary of the state - senate. He has but little opposition and his appointment to the position is - almost a forgone conclusion. ' Dr. M. A. Schutt, formerly of this place, now of Michigan City, is an as- । pirant for director of the Northern Prison. The doctor’s chatices for receiving the appointment seem quite । favorable. The new editor of the Nappanee Advance, Thomas F. Stevens, is an old ■ lawyer, having practiced for many years in Minnesota, from whence he moved to Nappanee. He has just been admitted to the Elkhart county bar. Every man should learn to distinguish between his real friends and those who only use the garb of friendship to cloak purposes of malice.— Exchange. That is good counsel, but few people are keen enough readers of human nature to use this nice distinction. / It Is thought Mint the legislature will pass a resolution to appoint a committee to investigate the conduct of the state attorney general's oilice dating Green Smith’s incumbency. It is now said that Smith got about #250,000 in fees out of the office in- , stead of $72,000. The Chesterton Tribune (Republic an) is opposed to Harrison's renomination. It says he is too aristocratic. —LaPorte Herald. In other words, Benjamin Harrison is honest and sincere, and does not re sort to the little catch vote methods of the regulation politician. Would that we had more "aristocratic” statesmen like Benjamin Harrison. The Indiana Liquor Dealers' League claims that it controls 75,000 votes in the state. If this be true, the league is a factor of no small influence in state polities. But the influence they will be able to wield will depend very largely upon the kind of material the present legislature is made of It will be worth while to watch the course pursued by the legislature during the present session. Secretary Morton Advises Farmers. “Recent consular reports to the state department,” said Hecretary Morton, “bear out the statement* ■ made in my annual report that the prospects for belter prices for wkeat are very poor indeed. I advise far mors to grow more corn and less wheat. In my judgement, the price of wheat will have a tendency to go lower all the time, while I believe the value of corn, owing to increased uses, will re main about stationary. The Argentine Republic is our most serious competitor in the foreign wheat markets. A consular report just received eon firms my predictions that the exports of wheat from the Argentine Hus yem will be thrice whut it was in 1893. It is a fact that twice as much Argon tine us American wheat is now sold in Germany, and in time I fear the proportion will be equally bad for us in Greattßritain. The people of the Argentine are able to undersell us be cause it does not cost them as much relatively to raise wheat I hear of farmers out in Oregon and Washing ton who are able to raise wheat and put it to market at a cost of 20 cents a bushel, but certainly the farmers of the great wheat belt cannot du this nor anything like it. ” Local Briefs. Dr. Roy, a Brahmin from India, is practicing medicine at Hanna, LaPorte county. He was converted to Christianity some years ago. Buffalo Bill's “Wild West” and the Barnum & Bailey show have consolidated and will exhibit together next season. Logansport physicians say that cigarette smoking causes imbecility. The general impression has been that imbecility causes cigarette smoking.— Chronicle. Mr. Fred Cable, of the Island, and Miss Warner, daughter of George Warner, of near this place, were married at Tyner on last Monday. Rev. Mr. Good officiated. The South Bend Times says: “It is not thought that the Three I’s company will get to operating their extension to the Michigan Central road much before February Ist.” Dick Neff, the brakeman who was on the train that went through the ( bridge near Peru, two or three years ' ago, when George Dorland, of LaPorte was killed, has sued the L. E. A W. railroad company for $25,000 damages, j Neff received bad injuries in the wreck.
