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 being 50 cents. The combined sub~seription price of the INDEPENDENT | Sk AR Bis 32‘25' bu;ti avition M.

The best and truest statesmen are - those who eare nothing for honors. TR ST P IAT SST N Hon. John L. Stevens, ex-minister *Huwaii, who flgured conspicuously in the diplomatic correspondence of the United State with Hawaii dnring the revolutionary troubles on the islands, is dead. A scheme for construeting a ship canal from the south end of Lake Michigan to the Wabash river is on foot. Senator Turpie in the senate and Representalive Cooper in the house have introduced resolutions pro} vididing for the appointment of a commission to make a preliminary survey for the proposed eanal. ——— Tne new governor of Deleware is in very poor health and has been advised by his physician to write no public documents nor take part in official ceremonies. With this nucleus to work on, disreputable busy-bodies have started the report that the governor is illiterate and unable to read and write. S — The state gas inspector is of the opinion that Indiana’s natural gas supply will be exhausted in less than four years. If this proves true there will be a lot of the deadest boom towns in this state on record. Towns whose prosperity rests upon a more substantial basis than gas have cause for selfcongratulation, Ex-Senator Winterbotham died at hishome in Michigan City last Sunday, aged about 84 years. He established the coopera e and buggy factory at the prison north in 1866, in which business he amassed a fortune. He was elected to the state senate in 1872, and was defeated as democratic candidate for congress by Major Calkins in 1882. e s st “Nothing is more untrue,” Mrs Sheridan said recently to a caller; “than the idea regarding Gen. Sheridan’s disposition. Nearly every pictare and poem represents him as frenzied with exeitement and dashing away on a prancing steed. The real faets are thnd reserved in action, and neve ayed the least signs of the dashing excitement with which he i 3 craqiteq. He often told me that when he made | his famous raid down the Valley of Virginia that he rode leisurely along on a sleepy horse. At home he was a quiet man fond of reading and of domestic life. Representative Barnes has prepared and will introduce within a few days a bill to abolish eapital punishment in Hlinois. He says he has only his conscience to be responsible to in the mat- 1 ter and that he has been a confirmed advoeate of the abolition of the death penalty for a long time. He adds that the recent experiences of hangiugs in ; this state as a preventative of murder do not justify capital punishment. The | Lill is quite short, being simply «a 1(:} pealing act. Mr. Barnes has taken occasion to canvass the sentiment of the members of the house to some extent and he is encouraged to believe that he will get strong support for his bill. —Chieago Record. Os conrse he will get strong support, for his bill. There is no doubt of it. The majority of the people are awaken- ’ ing to the importance of the capital | punishment question now more t,h;m! over before. They want the hidcousi thing wiped from the face of the earth. | The idea of the law taking hnmnn’ life! 1t is monstrous. Society can nOL, afford to uphold suceh a eustom, which ‘ | serves to keep alive the idea of the | chieapuess of human lisle. ‘il

Heretofore the lowest limit for pengioners has been two dollars. ————— A constitutional amendment has been introduced in the Michigan leg—islatare to require that voters in the future must be able to read and write the English language.—New Carlisle Gazette. 7he people in general would no doubt be in favor of such a law to apply to the whole conntry. i Too often God's ships come laden , to our wharves, but we are not there to discharge them. Too often his earviers bring love letters, but we are asleep, and they pass our doors. Too often his showers pass over the hills, ‘but we do not eateh their blessed fullness to fertilize and enrich our fields. —MEYER. - The society circus fad has struck our own capital eity, Indianapolis. A circus was given in the Cyeclorama Umilding in that city last Monday night, the performers being principalIy local talent. Tom Taggart, of political fame, was one of the ring masters. T'he performance consisted of the regulation program —bareback riding, trapeeze work, trained elephants, dogs, horses, ete, 'T'he proceeds of the circus were donated to the kindergarten. The society circus, which is now quite the fad in many of the larger cities in this country, is of recent | date, having originated in that foun- | tain-head of fashion, the city of Paris, but a few months ago. A bill for compulsory edueation is before the Indiana legislature. The bill provides that all children between the ages of six and fourteen years shall attend school during all of that period except when excused on account of mental or physical disability, or on account of contagious disease in the family. When the parent or guardian is too poor to send the children to school, aid shall be furnished by the 1 township trustee or school board. If the parents are dependent upon the children for support the township trustee or school board may temporarily provide an amouut equal to the child’s earnings, and the county com- ‘ mlssioners shall allow the amount and make permanent arrangements for the wants of the child. "This bill should pass. Compulsory education is the only solution of a very perplexing problemn which confronts society. e o i I'he Indianapolis Journal in an attempt to make a point against the proposed abolition of ecapital punishment in this state makes a flat failure. The very argument the Journal advances in defense of Indiana’s capital punishment law is a Dboomerang reacting upon the promulgator. The Journal says: “But really it would seem that when there has been but one execution in five years in Indiana the abolition of capital punishment is not a burning question to claim the attention of the legislature, which has a score of important matters to consider. It is time that emotionalism regarding criminals should be dismissed by intelligent people who have regard for o everity of society, particularly in a stetye whicn== - i of a midnight pussm life after causing the death of an engineer and the maiming of others.” The very fact that the law inflicting capital punishment is rarely enforced is strong evidence that the barbarous custom is becoming more and more hateful to enlightened society, The law evades hanging murderers whenle:vcr it is possible to do so, no matter how heinous the erime may have been. Ls the tide of public sentiment were ‘not tising higher and higher against | legal killing it is clear that more exe'cntiuns would take place. But the fact is that the old relic is passing rapidly into the shadows of the past l where the rack, the headsman’s block | and the other death-dealing instruments of barbarous ages have long | since gone. l The law providing for legal neck'breaking in Indiana, while but rarely enforced, is yet a disgrace to the [st,nto, and should therefore be annulled. Not to gratify those “emotional dreamers” who are opposed to capital punishinent, but for the good of society, which is being injured ! more than protected by the existence l of a law which legalizes the taking of | huwman life, |
