<J!je Jnikprn&ent. W.U.KKBTON. INDIANA. APRIL 27, 1895. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The A. P. A.’s have a membership of about 50,000 in this state. The state supreme court will not grant a rehearing of the fee and salary law. A movement is said to be on foot, to separate Cook County from the rest of Illinois on the grounds that Chicago is too large. J. O. Henderson, one of the editors of the Kokomo Dispatch, and late auditor of state, is negotiating for the purchase of the Indianapolis Sentinel. Lngrippe is believed by eminent authorities to be a fruitful cause of insanity. Hundreds of inmates of asylums are cited as evidence of this theory. There is a law in Indiana which provides that a railroad company must redeem all unused railroad tickets except. special half fare and excursion tickets.

Mr. Kohlsaat, late publisher of the Chicago Inter Ocean, has bought the interest of the late .J. W. Scott in the Times-Herald, and will assume per- i sonal direction of the paper. । James A. Garfield, a son of the late President Garfield, is a candidate for a seat in the Ohio state senate. The father occupied this same position at । the beginning of his public career. Five insurrections have occurred in Cuba since 1823. The last one, which I began in 1863, continued for eight i years and about 150,000 troops from Spain were required to suppress the rebellion. - i The Standard Oil Company contin- । nes to squeeze the people. In the , meantime Mr. Rockefeller, who is at ( the head of that great monopoly, at ] tends devotedly to his duties as super- । intendent of a Sunday school. । It is rumored that a stock company with a capital of $1,000,000 has been organized for the purpose of starting a democratic daily paper in Chicago. The name of the new paper is to be “The Chicago Daily Enquirer,” and the date of its appearance will be some time in J une. The Michigan City Dispatch of Saturday, April 20, was edited by the Daughters of the King. The paper consisted of twelve pages, and the editorial and reportorial work was very creditable. The profits of the edition were turned over to the Daughters of the King to be used for the benefit of their organization. The New Albany Tribune has just entered upon its eighth year. The paper was founded by its present able editor, Gen. Jasper Packard. Success marked the enterprise from its inception. Editorially, it is one of the very strongest papers in Indiana. Politically the paper is inclined to lean a little I towards the republican party. “I take it that the silver question will be one of the chief issues in your next national election,” said Chas. Hunt, of England. “It is also going to be a great issue in Great Britain. The friends of silver are gaining in numbers and influence all over Europe and the cause is growing stronger in England every day. 1 have studied the money question in India, in Europe and in America, and though 1 haven’t the slightest interest in silver as a producer or owner, I believe that its demonetization has been the cause of the great depression that exists in trade in every civilized country to day. The masses are just beginning to see this, but they will learn very rapidly j henceforth, and in the next general { election in Engl, nd and the United States, we shall have a popular verdict in favor of bimetalism.” A scheme for forming a new state from parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin ; and the upper peninsula of Michigan is being agitated. The territory in question contains the rich iron and copper mines of those three states. The reason given for the forming of a new state is that the mining interests, now subject to conflicting laws, would fare better under the uniform legislation of one state. The name of Superior has been suggested for the proposed new state. The state of Superior, however, is likely to never materialize, as it is more plausible that the conflicting laws would be adjusted and made to harmonize by Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan before those commonwealths would allow those rich slices of teritory to be taken from them for the creation of a new state.

The late Senator Randall L. flibson, of Louisiana, after dividing Ids prop- . erty in his last will and testament equally among his three sons, gives the following capital advice to them: “ I hope my sons will defer to and confide in my executors and trustees, and, above all, that they may realize early in life that the only thing more difficult to build up than an independent fortune, and more easily lost, is character, and that the only safeguards of character are the ten commandments and Christ’s sermon on the Mount.” Here is a whole sermon for young men and women in a nutshell. All thieves are despisalde, and to be feared, but a newspaper thief, that is, an editor who will steal the brains and hard work of an exchange is about the worst and most despisable of them all. He should not be permitted to enjoy the respect, and confidence of a com munity, but should be drummed out of town and made to associate with such people as the Bourbon wild man. —Ply mouth Republican. It is rather provoking to see one’s productions, whether they amount to much or not, clipped bodily by exchanges without giving credit. But the one who does the stealing is the one who suffers, for when he does write anything original (which is not

frequent) it is regarded as stolen property and he gets no credit for it. There is a certain kind of matter that is public property, but an editor is supposed to have sufficient judgement, or honesty, to discriminate in selecting such matter. To take an idea, either humorous or otherwise, and palm it off as original, as some papers are wont to do, is nothing more nor less than downright dishonesty. There is also a certain class of news matter for which credit should always be given. It is a courtesy that editors should show each other. Don t Worry. Worry annually kills more people than work, for worry fatigues the nerves; but it is useless to tell people of nervous temperaments not to worry. Ono should strive, however, to avoid all things th.it tend to disturb the nerves. Throw ■ y a pen that scratches and a pencil tbiu Ims a bit of hard lead in its makeup. Discard a needle that “squeaks,” and a basin that leaks. Use sharp tools, and wear soft garments. Oil the hinges of the rheumatic door, and fasten the creaking blind. Have your neighbor's dog quietly “ana dhet ized” into another and better world, for the law will shield the nervous man i from the irritating nuisance of a bark iug dog. These may seem but trifles; but such trifles irritate the nerves as much as a piece of wooleu does a raw sore. Charles Lamb, that quiet, inoffensive man, said t hat a carpenter’s hammer in a warm summer noon would fret him into more than a midsummer madness. —From “Nervousness: How to Avoid It,” in Demorest's Magazine for May. Interesting If True. A press dispatch from Newark, O , dated April 14, says that Christopher Columbus Ritter, who arrived from Germany in the winter of 1861, and through J. Wilkes Booth's influence se cured a position in Ford’s theatre, told I a fairy like story Sunday of Lincoln’s assassination, claiming that Boston Corbett shot Edward Fuchs, an actor resembling Booth, and not President Lincoln’s assassin. Ritter is well educated and his character is above reproach He declared that lie assisted Booth to escape and that they two sailed for Brazil, May 2, 1865; that he soon left Brazil, but met Booth by appointment in Hamburg eleven years ago, and that on that occasion Booth gave him pictures of his children born to his South American wife. These pictures, bearing a strong resemblance to Booth, are now in Ritter’s possession. Ritter says he heard from Booth last winter, and that he was then on the South American stage. When asked why he had I not fold the story before, Hitter dedar--1 ed that Allen Pinkerton made him take oath to keep it secret thirty years and । that the time expired Sunday.
