^lje Jn&cpenbent. WALKRKTON, INDIANA. MARCH 9, 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 $1.50 in advance. The Womankind is a sixteen page monthly journal for the home, and the American Farmer is a monthly of the s ime 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 by our liberal offer you got them all for only $1,50. This combination affords a liberal amount of reading mat ter at a very small price. ’ _ j The state legislature closes up shop , this week. < The Chicago Herald has bought the I Times office and the two papers will be 1 consolidated under the mime of the J Times Herald. The Michigan democracy, in con- ' vention assembled, declared in favor 1 of the free and unlimited coinage of I silver. And still they come. 1 Twelve democrats in the house । voted for the Nicholson bill, and four - against it. Sixty two republicat s < voted for it and sixteen against it. । Congressman William L Wilson, author of the famous Wilson tariff ( bill, has been appointed and confirmed i as postmaster general to succeed Mr. ’ Bissell, resigned. Mr. Wilson will enter upon his new duties about April 11 No one can lead a truly moral life and be idle. The workshops of the devil open the moment those of honorable toil are closed. Dissipation bides its head in the presence of honest toil. When the busy world is at labor even crime itself retires to its lair, to coine forth for its prey after nightfall. —L. J. Charlton. “Frozen oranges, said to be poisonous, are killing off Indiana people. We knew those apples were some good although they didn’t taste very nice.” The above editorial effusion is from the Chicago Evening News. We presume that it is witty, but it requires quite an effort of the imagination to grasp the deep and subtle humor of the paragraph. The indictment against Ex Governor Chase charging him with complicity in the wrecking of the bank at Greentown, Ind., has been dismissed. This is no surprise to most of the people of Indiana who had abundant reasons for believing the ex governor to be in nocent of the charge brought against him. Men like Mr. Chase don't wreck banks. According to a current statement Ihe new rates fit foreign postage and registry have just gone into effect. The rate of letters to all parts of the world, excepting Canada and Mexico, will be 5 cents per half ounce. The rate to Canada and Mexico will remain the same as the domestic rates. Postal cards to all parts of the world will be 2 cents. The fee for registering a letter will be 8 cents instead of 10 cents. Printed matter will be charged 1 cent per pound.” ( At a recent birthday celebration of ’ * Abraham Lincoln in Chicago, Henri ( Watterson, of Louisville, closed an eloquent tribute to the martyred chieftain in these words: “Born as lowly as the Son of God, in a hovel, of what ancestry we know not and care not ; reared in penury, squalor, with no gleam of, light or fair surroundings; I without external graces, actual or ac- ' quired; without name or fame or! official training; it was reserved for this strange being, late in life to be snatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a supreme mo- ! ment, and entrusted with the destiny - of a nation. Where did Shakespere ! get his genius? Where did Mozart get his music? Whose hand smote the lyre of the Scottish plowman, and stayed the life of the German priest?' God, God, and God alone; and as surely as these were raised up by God, inspired by God, was Abraham Lincoln; and a thousand years hence no story, no tragedy, no epic poem will ■ be filled with greater wonder, or be, followed by mankind with deeper feeling, than that which tolls of his life mid death.”

— „. . . ■ ■ The fire-cracker insurrection in Cuba has been suppressed by the . Spanish government. 'Hie spirit of revolt is still smouldering there, however, and is apt to break forth again at any time. The small pox is raging in St. Louis, and there are fears that the contagion may spread to Illinois and Indiana towns, q’he Indiana Board of Health is keeping a vigilant eye on the western border of the state for the first signs of any encroachment of the disease. The bill creating a superior court at Michigan City passed the legislature last Monday and the bill was sent to the governor on the following day for his signature, which will probably be affixed thereto. Michigan City is feeling very jubilant over its triumph and, to use a slang phrase, is giving LaPorte, which worked hard against the bill, the “horse laugh.” Maurice Francis Egan works for months on a sonnet. He print- -’•“■p sonnet a year in the Century. He ; wrote none during 1894, or, at least, printed none. His new sonnet, “Kes- , infection,” will soon appear in the < Century. His most recent sonnet was , pronounced by Mr. R. H. Stoddard to be the best written in the last seven years.—Chicago Tribune. A special telegram from Indianapolis says the senate bill providing for the redistriding of cities forward pinposes every two instead of ten years passed the house this morning, and is now a law; also the senate bill appropriating SIO,OOO for the State fair. The senate has amended (he fee and salary bill so as to kill it, and the old law will no doubt govern. 'l'he man who holds up a stage or a train is a very mild sort of a cut throat, compared to the man who draws gold from the I' S. treasury and hoards il f>r a premium. One tubs a few individuals, the oilier is trying to rob everybody. —Albion Democrat. A great deal of truth in that. It is strange, though, how the world sh Us its eyes to such facts, and continues to respect and uphold the moneyed sharks who prey without comicieiice upon the financial blood of the nation to swell their private coffers. The Nicholson hili as it passed the house and was turned over to the sen ate provides as follows: At the time the license is applied for the room shall be especially described; the room shall be entirely separate from any other business, and no amusement devices, music or paitltions shall be allowed; no person but the proprietor shall be allowed in the saloon during the hmns when it is unlawful to sell; convict ions for violations shall annul the license; sales to minors are prohibited; all peace officers may enforce the law ; no license shall be granted to an agents and not more than one license shall be granted to each person;;! remonstrance from a majority of the voters in the township or ward shall prevent the ap j plicant from getting a license for tw • y ears. 'l'he libel law that passed the Imuse yesterday and had previously passed the senate, will have a tendency to shut oil a lot of people who '-eem to think that newspapers are published for the purpose of giving them an opportunity to be sued for libel, says the Evansville Tribune. Some folks are always injured by the appearance of their names in print, and keen to sue the paper for the injury. The chief provision of the bill just passed is that the aggrieved party can only recover for actual damages, and suit can not be brought without first giving the newspaper three days notice that a correction is demanded. If this is made in good faith anti it is j shown that the libelous article was published in good faith there is no ground for a claim for damages. 'l'he Alabama legislature hat recently passed two unusual acts. One makes the birthdays of Jefferson Davis 'and Robert E Lee legal holidays, and I the other adopts a state flag, a crimson 1 St. Andrew’s cross on a field of white. —Exchange. No one can seriously object to Alabama honoring the memory of those ! favorite sons of the South by selling aside certain days to pay homage to : them, but the adoption of a state (lag iis quite another thing and will not । , meet with the approval of the great! ! majority of the loyal citizens of the republic. This act on the part of Alabama breathes too much of the spirit of the old states’ right doctrine and is therefore not exactly the thing. The j stars and stripes is the emblem of our i nat ion and no state flags are necessary. । Alabama shows sublime impudence in ' adopting a ilag of its own.

Some portions of drouth-stricken Nebraska had rain last week, the flat time for a year. 1 ~ _ , Dr. Watson, of Hobart, was Arested, charged with having failed report births as required by law. me was fined $35 and costs. Representative Nicholson, the aulor of the famous Nicholson teperage bill, is a minister. He was furmJL editor of a paper at Kokomo. Chauncey M. Depew has inaugi>ted a reform in railroad pawl. Clergymen are no longer to be grant#! halt-tare rates on the lines under his direction, and the clergy, like othhgood and useful citizens, must pili full rates or stay nt home. Dr. DepeS affirms that he has good scriptural* authority for this stand, and among other passages of scripture cited m affirm his position quotes the follow Ing; Md “Thou shnlt not pass,” Num. "3i20. “None shall over puss,” 34:10. “This generation shall pass,” Mark 13:30. “Though tliSf roar yet they cannot pass,” Jer. 5;21 “So they paid their fair and wentT John 1:3. Freeport Journal.
