Cljc Jnikpcntent. WALKER TON, INDIANA. JAN. 19, 189'’ W. A. ENDBEY, Editor. Three Papers for the Price of One. The Independent, through its clubbing arrangements with the publishers of Womankind and the American Farmer, is enabled to furnish all three papers for $1.50 in advance. The Womankind is a sixteen page monthly journal for the home, and the American Farmer is a monthly of the same size and devoted to the farm and fireside. Both are excellent, journals, the regular subscription price of each M^being 50 cents. The combined subnn' out -by our liberal offer you get them all for only $1.50. This combination affords a liberal amount of reading matter at a very small price. Next year is presidential year again. They will soon “March 4 th" at Washington. This is the first that the republicans I have had control of the Indiana leg islature since 1873. Nr. Breckinridge, who is now on the lecture platform, is drawing very small houses, significantly small, in fact. The newspapers of Indiana are making it red hot for the fake telegraph correspondents. The latter will find their occupation gone some of these times. Cal Sinninger is making a lively paper of the Warren Independent. He has already got the inhabitants of that region to wondering. The Dumb Animal’s Friend is a nice little publication recently started at South Bend in the interests of the humane movement. Georgia and Alabama negroes are going to Mexico in colonies. There is no doubt more room for them there than in the states they are leaving. R. B. Oglesbee, of Fix mouth, late chairman of the republican central committee of the Thirteenth congressional district, was chosen secretary of the state senate. The South Bend TFmS its W sSfiirweekly edition this week. The Times is one of the substantial papers of Northern Indiana and this stroke of enterprise will doubtless add largely to its usefulness and influence. A great deal is expected from the present Indiana legislature. Should it fail to come up to expectations the republican party of the slate will sufft r loss in numbers and influence. It is a crisis for the party. After any young man has become so badly demoralized from association with rough characters that he becomes indifferent to the good opinion of others, but very little of a flattering nature can be said as to the probable outcome of his future. A true man is ever ready to recognize virtue, acknowledge ability and honor wisdom in whomsoever these qualities may dwell. It is only the jealous man and the know-it all who refuses to recognize and appreciate that which is good in his fellow-men. South Bend has started a subscrip- । tion to raise funds for the erection of I some suitable monument to the memory of its distinguished citizen, the late Schuyler Colfax. South Bend cer- . tainly owes this much to the memory ' of this great statesman, its most hon- . ored citizen. The suggestion of the Sunday News that the memorial be i made in the shape of a public library seems like a feasible one. 1 man. is an interesting figure in the * politics or his state us well as that of । the nation. In his career is exempli- I i fled with special force the possibilities of American citizenship. We find the ’ following interesting paragraph in an exchange about him: “Governor ( Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, came i from Norway to America as a boy, sold newspapers on the streets of ('hi- 1 cago, went hungry and ragged many a day, removed to Minnesota and grew up with the country, was elected to the legislature, then to Congress, then ! Governor, and now may become Sena- ; tor. And yet Knute is the same, plod- ; ding, unpretentious Norwegian, ‘plain j us a pikestaff,’ but dead set when he ; makes up his mind.” 1

The newspaper and printing business of the country towns is now perhaps seeing its best days. The drift of the printing industry is towards centralization. Large capital in the cities will eventually monopolize the business and crowd the smaller establishments to the wall. After awhile it will be impossible for small concerns to compete with the prices made possible by the superior facilities of the city establishments, and the most of them will be snuffed out of existence, just as the smaller manufacturing establishments in many lines have . had to give way in the past, before the > pressure of improved machinery and centralized capital. The city papers will eventually cover the country field with a more thorough local service and at such a low rate of subscription that, the business of the local papers will be rendered so unprofitable as to no longer warrant their publication. This condition will extend to all branches of the business. More rapid presses for doing j >b work than have yet been dreamed of will be invented and pressed into service in the large establishments, enabling job work to be turned out. at prices ruinous to conn try offices. Whether this pessimistic view of the country printing business will ever be fully realized is perhaps subject to some doubt, but the prediction will no doubt be verllied in a largo measure, and possibly within the next quarter of a century. Rinehart Gets $425 The jury in the case of B. F. Rinehart vs the Indiana, Illinois & lowa Railway Company over the value of a strip of marsh laud on his farm in Liu coin township appropriated for right of way purposes, agreed upon a verdict about 10 o’clock .Saturday night aftei deliberating over the matter for more than 30 hours. The verdiet was announced in circuit court this forenoon and gives Rinehart $125 for his property. He was originally offered $l5O by the railway company, but refused to take it and eoe .lemnatjon proceedings were instituted whereby the appraisers fix-d the value at $250. Mi. Rinehart ap pealed to the circuit court- Tim trial lasted over one week and wassomewl at tedious. One interesting buturewas the variance of the < vidence of import ant witnesses, men of experience and good judgment, who estimated the value of the land all the way from $3 to S3O an acre.—South Bend Tribune. A Lesson for Smart Alecks _ A bashful young farmer went hrt* the conrifj- in Valparaiso. tsiety, to procure a marriage license. The Vidette had a smart reporter there who proceeded to write up a funny article for his paper. 'The Chesterton Tribune in speaking of the article quite properly says : “Anyway it ain’t just right to air one’s superfluous wit on such matters, even if one is shoit of new? and it is nearly press time. Those colored shirted, heavy booted, j sturdy fellows lots of times have hearts that beat just as warm in their breasts as the average cigarette smoking dude. It is true they may be a little bashful. Perhaps they never sent innocent girls to gilded palact ' ^hame, but instead take them to their hearts, and make happy homes and happy mothers if them. Perhaps they don’t live off their dads, and spend their time play ing poker, but instead hop clods until they have wrested from the soil enough to buy a little home. Why, if they don’t have a swell wedding, they go according to their means and we know lots of the heavy booted boys that can buy and give away their more stylish brothers ten years after they get married and not miss the money either. All honor to the sturdy, bashful, heavy booted farmer boys. Ben Franklin s Code. Cut it out, paste it in your hat, or your desk, or anywhere so that it will daily fall under your eyes.
