The Independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. JUNE 2, 189, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. It seems to be narrowing down to Benjamin Harrison or Tom Reed. e—— Lee Liun, an old-time Indiana journalist, has started a new daily paper at Wabash. P— Sound mmvn-y,' in trlvnrert‘;;i';lion of some men, is to have not enough of it to carry on business. Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, is a presidential possibility. He is a growing power in the democratic party. AN SRS AN YR Ex- Congessiman Cheadle, of Indiana, | claims to have facts and (igures showing that a large majority of the repub- | lican party in most of the states is for free silver. e According to a statement going the | rounds, Senator Voorhees favors Gov. Matthews for the presidency. This ~ means that Matthews is his second choice. Mr. Voorhees is usually Daniel’s first choice. —— Editor J. ]Téa)_ll—:;f the South Bend ‘ Times, is being mentioned in connec- ! tion with the lieutenant-governorship. ' Mr. Stoll, however, states that the use| of his name in this connection is| wholly unanthorized and without ; sanction. : R ISR TR S SR RN IY Mark Twain has just signed a con- | tract to make a lecture tour of the world. He will visit all the principal | cities where the English language is | spoken. Mark, who was reputed to be | -a millionaire, is said to have lost al large portion of his fortune in bad in-| vestments. : CPp——— Roby is knocked out. No more le- | gal prize fighting in Indiana. Gov, Matthews “sat up” with the Roby crowd until he won the day. Thegov-| ernor is entitled to the hearty thanks of the law-abiding citizens of Indiana in his successful fight agaiust the| tough element at Roby. RO AIR DA LMD DR Life is too short and time too precious to waste it in trying to *‘get even” with your enemies. lLet them go. Don’t quarrel and fight with them. Let the greatlaw of your life be benevolence. As Solomon says: “If thine enemy be hungry give him bread to eat and if he be thirsty give him water to drink; for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head and the Lord shall reward thee.” R R SOOI APPSR Jerry Simpson is going over the ~ state of Kansas in a prairie schooner making speeches in favor of free silver. He exhibits his sun-burned face and hands to prove that heis a humble tiller of the soil. Jerry has the misfortune of running things to extremes. However good a cause may be it loses force and dignity under his touch. If Jerry could be muzzled he and his friends and party would be the gainers. A newspaper in doing its duty by l advocating public improvements is sure to make some enemies. Especial- ‘ ly is this true of a paper published in | a country town, where people’s toes are ‘ more apt to be trodden upon. But on the other hand, the friends that r;my\ around the standard of a progressive | newspaper are suflicient to counterbalance all the enemies that may have been created by the paper’s progressive policy. In fact, the friends gained are. usually more desirable than the ones lost. 1 RAT S | Attorney Soale, of the Terre Haute Liquor Dealers’ association, says, “Steps will be taken at once to test the constitutionality of the Nicholson Dbill, and persons engaged in selling liquors urei instructed to continue the business in a respectful manner under the strict’ surveillance of the proper authorities l Attorneys have been employed and ex- | lensive examination has already been | made as to the validity of the Nichol- | son bill which bill is a remarkuble‘ piece of unreasonable, impr:lcticuble} and nonsensical legislation which, if l enforced, will involve almost every business in existence. 'The opinion of most persons who have examined this bill is that it is unconstitutional. It will not however become . law until about the 20th of this month.” Attorney Soale, of course, is talking for his side of the question. He lis personally interested. It is not just yet a toregone conclusion that the Nicholson bill is unconstitutional. T'nere is considerable chance for doubt on that point. The bill was greatly modified from its original form with a view to evercoming its unconstitutional seatures

—— T An exchange aptly remarks: “It is wonderful how a man will grow to dis- | like you after hie has played you some scurvy trick.” AAB 20 AW TSRS T'he widow of the late Ex-Governor Ira J. Chase is in u pitiable condition. She is not only in poor health but is said to be Dblind. "The friends of the family are making an effort to raise money for the relief of the widow and her family. RP M RS TSI The INDEPENDENT acknowledges | the receipt of an invitation to attend the sixty-sixth annual commencement of the Indiana University at Bloom- | [ington. The event took place June 14 |, tOl9. The bacealaureate sermon was delivered by John Hazen White, Episcopal Bishop of Indiana; the alumni |- address by Hon. W. D. Robinson, of | Princeton, and the commencement address by Henry Wade Rogers, L. .. D, president of Northwestern University. | IR The Indianapolis Journal in coneluding an article on inter-national bimetalism gives this interesting information: The most intelligent bimetalists ’fil Amerieaand Europe, many of whom in the latter country are experienced bankers, hold that a ratio can be es- | ¢ tablished for the free coinage of both metals which will prevent their fluetuation materially as commercial values. To sustain this claim they show that ‘ when Euaropean nations, Great Britain excepted, were coining both metals freely on the ratio of 154 to 1, their commercinl value did not vary ma- |, terially for fifty years. R The meeting of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association at Logansport June 13 and 14 must have been a most pleasant and profitable oceasion, judging from the accoutsof it written by the editorial brethren who were in attendance. Itis pronounced thelargest gathering ever held by the Northern Indiana editors. T'he reception and |; treatment accorded the editors by the citizens of Logausport is said to have been most cordinl and hespitable. A program of great interest was given and topies relative to important business features of the newspaper business were freely discussed and with definite conclusions. The foreign advestising shark received considerable attention and remedies were suggested and unanimously endorsed which if ‘adhered to will have a decidedly good effect. The Northern Indiana Editor, inl Association is more than a quarter of u century old and the influence that it has wielded has been of incalculable benefit to the fraternity of northern Indiana. DT AR DB AT B 0 L1 Whatever people may think about ‘cupital punishment for the ordinary crime of murder, there are two crimes for which the punishment shounld be death and nothing else. Those two crimes are the wrecking of railroad itruins and setting fire to buildings in which people live or are employed. Even the attempt ought to carry the penalty of death. Such fiends ought not to live and the method of execution ought to be based on that which they would inflict on innocent and unsuspecting people.-—New Albany Tribune. l It seems as though no punishment could be too severe for such eriminals. ‘That is the impulse one naturally feels ' when contemplating such flends and ‘their hellish work. DBurning indignation and a blood-thirsty desire for hasty ‘vengeuuc« rises up in the soul when l t such deeds as the above come to the ‘ public notice. Dut these impulses, while quite natural and springing from } w noble indignation, are not a safe ‘ guide in the sober administration of the law. The question resolves itself into this: Is itright for the law to take human life? Isitbest for society? If it is, then why stop at the gallows? Why not burn criminals at the stake and resort to other punishment equally ag tortuous? If there is any virtue in { capital punishment there are instru- | ments of death that would have more | influence i terrifying criminals and satisfying the desire for vengeance than the gallows. As the world has | advanced in civilization and enlighten- | ment there has been a gradual modifi‘c:lt,ion in the severity of the | | means used 1u dispatching erimi- | nals. Something milder than the gal'luws is now being considered and to | some extent has been used in inflieting | the death penalty. Electricity hasbeen invoked to take the place of the re- { pulsive gallows. This shows the ten-! dency of public seutiment on this ques- i tion. The punishment of death is being made as light and tnconspicuous |ag possible. As an institution capital | ‘punishmeut is showing signs of decay. 1t will disappear altogether in civilized .lcouutri(-s in the course of time, because | the world is awakening to the belief | that the death penalty is @ wrong, in- | juring and degrading scciety more than it protects it
