®ljc Jnbcpcndcnt. WALKERTON. INDIANA. JUNE 19. 1996. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The late Secretary Gresham left an estate of $51,000. Ail was willed to ids widow. It is said that there is a man in St. Louis who can repeat the wholeof (he bible word for word. Governor Matthens has appointed ex President Harrison as one of the trustees of Purdue university. In England, it is said, that, newspapers are not, as a rule, published •outside of the larger cities. Local newspapers, as we have them in America, are almost unknown in that •country. A professor calculates that the -earth is shrinking about two inches a year. 'An exchange says that accounts for the nervous anxiety manifested by some people to possess it while it is of some size. The Chicago Chronicle gave an ilSustration in its Monday issue picturing Claude Matthews as a farmer on a load of hay. Governor Matthews’ presidential boom may now be said to tiave been fairly launched. J, S. Coxey, of industrial army ffime, Ima started a paper called “Sound Money,” at Massillon, Ohio. The Independent is in receipt of the first •number of the paper. As a calamity howler the paper is a brilliant successThe “Daily Coin,” the free silver paper started in Chicago by Harvey, the author of “Coin's Financial School," suspended publication after a short trial. The publishers were forced to the conclusion that a daily paper can not subsist without local and telegraphic news. Kansas and Nebraska will have •abundant crops this year, according to reports. Both states were terribly in need of them. This will give the suffering people there a chance to re•cover from past misfortunes with •■which they have been sorely beset the last few years. Among the names mentioned us -candidates for the democratic nomina•tioil for governor of Indiana next year «re those of Judge Allan Zollar, of Fort Wayne; Mortimer Nye, of LaTorte; John G. Shanklin, of Evansville; ♦Green Smith, ex-Congressman Taylor mid ex-Secretary of State Myers. Governor Matthews seems to be -squarely in the field for the democratic •nomination for president. His little boom is evidently growing. Now and •then some big metropolitan paper shows friendliness towards his cause. The Daily Chronicle, Chicago’s new •democrotic paper, gave the governor •quite a send-off in a six and a half column article in Monday’s issue. Lord Roseberry has resigned the premiership of England and will be succeeded by Load Salisbury. The latter is a leader of the conservatives, -and his accession to power is looked upon with great distu.or by the Irish members of parliament. The cause of Ireland is not likely to be greatly promoted under the regime of the new ministry. t^uite a number of our citizens are opposed to water-works on the grounds that the mains would not be extended to all parts of the town. While it is their privilege to oppose the enterprise if they choose to, yet their position ■hardly seems tenable. The town would •gladly build the mains to all parts of the incorporation if such a thing were possible, but it would not be at the present time. The mains, however, would be extended as fast as possible. That is the only way Walkerton can build water-works—by degrees. And, we may add, that is the way the majority of towns build them. In no country is the cause of international bimetallism progressing more rapidly than Australia, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. It is already virtually decided that Australia will be represented in the next international convention independent of Great Britain, and that its delegates will beearnsstly in favor of bimetallism by international agreement. Mr. Moreton Frewen, one of the most able and aggressive bimetallists in the world, has been making a tour of the Australian provinces, and has aroused a, perfect cyclone of sentiment for the reform.. The sentiment will necessarily have a large effect on the British government, for it is well understood that Australia's allegiance to the mother country is not strong enough to stand any rude strain.

According to the Indianapolis Sun lawyers say that the recent opinion of _ Judge Howard, of this county, in the Roiiy receivership case was one of the most learned and astute document sever handed down by the supreme court. The judge is built just that way. । Indianapolis Independent: Lieuten- > ant Governor Mortimer Nye is at present the most talked of for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. It’s • dollars to doughnuts that he has a plain cinch on the nomination, so said a very well informed democratic politician the other day . Some one with an excellent memory says: “The season of 1875 was exactly parallel with 1895. There was an early spring followed by a cold snap, then warm weather with a drought. The wheat crop was short, but there was a big yield of corn. The fall and winter following were prosperous.” If you think you are justified in opposing water-works and do so through conscientious principles and aside from selfish motives, then it is your right to fight the enterprise. But consider the matter carefully from all sides before you act. This is a matter of great importance to Walkerton and not to be trifled with. The announcement that the Rothschilds have declared in favor of international bimetallism impels a New York paper to say: “The truth is that men who deal in world-wide loans are, more than anybody else, anxious for the world wide stability of exchanges. And some of them are beginning to think that the recent business depression extending over the world was hugely due to the disturbance produced by making gold payments a trade barrier between Europe on the one hand and Asia and South America on the other. They take the broad view that the co operation of all nations upon a bimetallic basis would insure greater stability in finance and greater freedom of commerce than can be expected from the present situation, with silver monometallism the basis of trade in one half of the world and gold monometallism in the other. And besides, the output of gold is increasing in Alaska, in the Rocky Mountains, in Africa and all over the world at a rate portending a depression of its value within the next ten years. There are whispers abr^J vast qhkiitities of long-hoarded gold in China and in India. When the Rothschildsseedanger ahead and begin to look for safety to the old stability of gold and silver bimetallism, spare us the spectacle of American statesmanship making a fetich of monometallism, either gold or silver.” What China May Do. There is nothing, so far as we know at this writing, in the recent treaty of peace to prevent China from preparing herself in the near future, for another struggle with Japan, just as France Las been for twenty years putting herself in readiness for another possible test of strength with Germany, says the North American Review. What if this giant i nation should rouse herself, and through the influence of some great leader, shake together her loosely jointed limbs, as Bismark under William welded the disjointed German states into one? Her strength lies in three hundred and fifty millions of people, singularly patient, wonderfully indns trious and capable in a remarkable degree of enduring hunger and cold. United they can accomplish almost any result. China will believe, and with much semblance of reason, that if she had only had common instead of ar mour piercing shells she might, and that if in addition to these her ships had been supplied with more rapid fire guns she undoubtedly would, have won at Yalu. Had she gained a decisive victory there, followed up, it would nave givei her absolute control of the seii. Dominion over the sea would eventually have given her control of Corea and would have saved her from invasion. Thesplendid armies of Japan armed and ready for the fray would in that case have been absolutely useless, except to repel invasion. They could only have stood upon the sea-shore, just as millions of out' country men would in case our navy should be over- i powered, looking out upon the ocean in helpless despair, cursing the author- ! ities that had failed to provide them i with means with which to go out upon ; the waters and fight for their country. If China begins to gird up her loins, Japan will respond, and indeed whatever may or may not happen in Asia, it may be confidently predicted that Japan । will immensely increase her naval resources. She will not be slow to find iin the events of the recent past many reasons for this course. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder World’sFair Highest Medaland Diploma.
