®I)C JnbqjcniicnL WALKERTON INDIANA. FEB. 2, 1895 W. A. ENDLEY, 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 sl-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 being 50 cents. The combined subscription price of the Independent and the other two papers is $2.25, but 1 by our liberal offer you get them all i»b inat.l oli afl

fords a liberal amount of reading matter at a very small price. Senator Voorhees apparently leans towards free silver. The “grip” is prevalent in New York City and is causing many deaths. It is said that over $100,000,000 are invested in cotton mills in the South. Men who are subject to the income tax ought to be glad that they have an income to be taxed. The administration talks of another issue of bonds. If this thing keeps up we will soon be in bond-age. Senator Thayer of Warsaw, is dead. He was a staunch republican and his death Is a great loss to his party. Bradstreet reports the amount of wheat in the United States to be 52,000,000 bushels less than a year ago. Anti-toxine, the new cure for diphtheria, has been a gratifying success wherever it has been used, according to reports. The government gold reserve is growing less day by day. The administration seems powerless to stay the outward flow.

Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, who went to Egypt recently, is said to be recovering his health. He is afflicted with quick consumption. Old marine men have some hopes that the steamer Chicora is still afloat. They think it barely possible that the hull of the vessel is still safe and perhaps a part of the crew, if not all, are

alive. The common opinion that Paris is the capital of France is incorrect, says an exchange. The constitution makes Versailles the legal capital, and the sessions of the senate and assembly are held in the historic palace at that place. Versailles is about eight miles from Paris, and is a palace of great attractions and historic interest. Senator Shively, in opposing the bill in the general assembly of this state, to change the law regarding cap ital punishment, said that “the sickening sentimentality against hanging was instigated by long haired men and short-haired women.” —Ex. It is just such “swell-heads” as this Shively that help along a good cause by opposing it. Let the good work go on. ^^^^^^^^^^^^Tnefor^nnan with a

good heart to be satisfied with the I world as it now is. No man can truly enjoy even what he earns—what he knows to be his own—-knowing that millions of his fellow men are in misery and want. When we think of the famished, we feel that it is almost heartless to eat. To meet the ragged and shivering makes one almost ashamed to be well dressed and warm, one feels as though his heart was as cold as their bodies.—lngersoll. In a recent article, Editor Henry King, of the St. Louis Globe Democrat has this to say of the country editor’s financial independence: “The country editor, like his city brethren, is no longer snubbed and left to the casual Samaritans. lie is courted now, and feared, and he gets bis pay as other folks do, and can support a family and live in his own home; and when he dies, they bury him with flowers and music, and g' -'- ' • « ; I 4 .....

Ward McAllister, the leader of New York’s “400,” died the other day of . g’il»- _ Bob Ingersoll in an interview with a South Bend reporter, recently, referred to that grand old statesman, Gladstone, as a know nothing, called the great Bismarck a brute, pronounced Jolin Sherman a man of but little ability and called President Cleveland a chump. Bob is nothing if not sensational. President Cleveland's special message to congress has a true ring of patriotism and earnest solicitude for the welfare of the nation. In this hour of alarming conditions, when the finances of the nation seem threatened with disaster, the president shows himself to be a broad and patriotic executive. He rises above partisanship in this emergency. An exchange, commenting on the withdrawal of Joseph Medill from the senatorial race in Illinois, truly says it exemplifies the futility of newßpj Zz ,-t o, men seeking elective offices. From very nature of the positions thevjy^Bl n i n emu n..11-l ..

Corbett, the champion, thinks that prize fighting must go. He believes that public sentiment is becoming so strong against the sport that it will eventually be done away with. Corbett himself does not seem to be fascinated with the prize ring, and says that he will fight one more man, Fitzsimmons, and lick him, and then bid farewell to the roped arena forever. Corbett is too much of a gentleman . and has too much good sense to feel 3 at home in the brutal prize ring. He went into it for the money there is in it, while Sullivan, the ex-champion, 1 became a prize fighter because it was his native inclination to be such. Washington special to Cincinnati Enquirer: “There has been talk out in Indiana about Gen. Lew Wallace ' who is now in Washington, as a Republican candidate for governor a year hence. To the Enquirer corre- । spondent to day he said: ‘I do not . want the honor. Ido not, at my age, . want to give up four years to politics. If there was any occasion for my ser-

vices, if my state needed me, I would gladly be a candidate. But as matters are now in these pipiiTg U. >8 of peace Ido not want to make a campaign. I have other work mapped out for the declining years of my life, and cannot enter active polities. The Indiana Newspaper Record publishes a list of towns in the state without newspapers. Ln the list are a number of towns ranging all the way from 700 to 1,200 inhabitants that have no newspapers, and are anxious forthem. With this fact in view itseems strange that “scabs” will persist in

starting newspapers in small towns already supplied and in fields which are unable to support more than one printing establishment decently. But these second newspapers in small towns hardly ever make a living and in most cases fail altogether. Repeated efforts have failed to keep the second paper alive in Bremen, Mentone and many other towns in northern Indiana. The Indianapolis Journal, in speakof the proposed investigation of the various state institutions, gives the following timely advice: “If the republicans in the legislature propose to investigate the management of any of the institutions it is hoped that their committees will waste no time with the stories of men who have been subordinate officers and who have been discharged for incapacity or for good and sufficient reasons on the part of

the managers. Even if such men in- , tended to be truthful they see things through the medium of a grudge or a feeling of bitterness which makes them unreliable. Such men can always be found, and they cannot be relied upon. There may be need of investigation into the methods of admin- | istration that better ones may be substituted, but there should be no investigation simply because something discreditable may be told about democratic superintendents by men whom they have discharged. If such men are to be heard it would be well to learn something of their character before they are permitted to testify.” ■ Unlike most proprietary medicines, [ the formulae of Dr. J. C.

A petition is in circulation against the two cent per mile passenger rate bill now before the Indiana legislature ami the paper is being signed by every trainman, clerk, shopman and section man in the service of the railway companies. The petitioners argue that any legislation affecting the earnings of the railroads will revert to the disadvantage of the employes, whose earnings will be reduced proportionately.—Ex. 'There may be something in this, but it would seem that a reduction to a two cent rate would give a fresh impetus to passenger traffic, thus making up for the loss to the railroad companies that would be entailed by sucn a reduction, while at the same time the public would be benefited and railroad employes also by the increased demand for men that would naturally follow in time an enhanced passenger business. —' Horses Fed to Lions and Tigers. Strange stories come from the win- | ter quarters of Wallace’s circus, near I '^ru. The animals, it is said, are all I ,iOr S2 }Ul ^ pursuit of I linishing the showmen with agedf

" — a regular industry among Miami ’ county ruralists. The beasts are shot, * their corpses are hacked into conven- ' lent pieces by means of meat axes, ® and the bloody fragments are distribu* s ted to the voracious animals twice s daily. Every day, three horses are ( thus slain and at that rate 600 or 700 i will be required to feed the beasts du- j ring the winter. i Many of the horses, which represent t all degrees of age and decrepitude, are donated by citizens of the vicinity and the remainder are purchased at prices ranging from 75 cents to $1.50 a head. The Shou man sells (he hides r at $1 each, thus making in some cases 25 cents on each horse purchased. Aj^ Kokomo schemer recesiu^iniVassed that town, and secured gratis six very dilapidated horses which he drove to Peru and sold to the circus people for $5, thus earning a good day’s wages. The bears and lions, he says, are particularly fond of horse flesh and never appear to get enough. Presbyterian Church.
