®lje independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA, JULY 13. 1895. W. A. KN 111 ,K Y, Editor. Shorter presidentiai campaigns are being advocated. That, would suit the people. The stringent liquor law of town has caused a wholesale suspension ot saloons in many places in that state. President Cleveland is said to be laying his ropes for a third term. He ought to know when he lias hail enough. A strong wave of temperance sentiment, reinforced in some states by stringent laws, seems to be sweeping .swer the country. The oil fields of Indiana give no evidence as yet of exhaustion. Over one million three hundred fhou.sruui more barrels of oil were produced in Indiana last year than during (he year previous. 1 The Indiana Brewers’ Association , advises Ilie saloon keepers of the state , to abide strictly by the Nicholson law. । The association proposes to fight the law, but from all appearances intends to do so in a legitimate way. 1 The Connecticut legislature has passed a bill exempting SI,OOO worth । of property of veterans of the late war ( from taxation. As a class the soldiers , have earned and should have such ex ( ■eruption in every state. , The Chicago Journal quotes “Uncle Dick” Oglesby of Illinois as follows: ( “I have graduated as a carpenter, , storekeeper, lawyer, soldier, governor । and senator to become a farmer, and , life in the country is best of all.” । The saloons of Evansville, this stale, 1 were run wide open on July 4in deli- ’ ance of the Nicholson law. It is said that no prosecutions have yet been 1 made. The saloon keepers there say they will obey the law in regard to closing with the exception of holidays. They might as well violate the whole ■law as a part of it. This office is in receipt of the first number of the Plymouth Daily Lnde pendent, a six column, four page paper published by Zimmerman & Smith. A daily has been the cherished hope of the senior proprietor, Bro. Zimmerman, for some time, and now that he has been able to embark upon such an enterprise it is to be hoped that bis progressiveness will be properly appreciated by the citizens of Plymouth. A daily paper is of no small advantage to a town, being a great factor towards progress and growth. Plymouth should be proud of her place among the daily paper cities of northern Indizna and strive to maintain it. The Catholic Record, Indianapolis, I days of the Niche Ison law: ■“The law is meant as a. safeguard against the abuses which result from the liquor traffic. These abuses are •undeniable. No man ought to put his private interests above the public good. ' Nobody knows just now what the sa- j loon keepers of Indiana mean to do in i regard to (he new law. It is fairer to presume (hat they will submit to the new regulations. It would lie imprudent on their part to brave public opinion, and there is no doubt that the i great majority of the people want to minimize the evils of drinking as much as possible. People must have the courage of their convictions and show such a determination in favor of the law as to preclude the very idea of resistance.” Russell Sage, the great New York millionaire, in an article in the Inter •Ocean relative to the conditions of success in business says; “it is commonly supposed that to make money in this world a man must be one of two things. Either he must be a genius or a dishonest man. He must make his money by sparkling brilliancy that few can imitate, or he must steal it so shyly that none can see him. An examination of the great fortunes that have been made will show this to be absolutely false. Was the first, Rothschild to carve Ids name upon the world of finance a genius? Did he “coin” money in his labortoay, or flash it forth by electricity, or cause the wheels of newly discovered patents to grind it out? No! He was a hard, steady worker. A man to whom, after you had intrusted SIOO, you would go again with another hundred And again! And again! He kept his friends in finance. He gave them a good return for their money, and if by hard study he discovered and planned ways tor investing that money, so that his percentage as caretaker was worth bis while, why go much the better for him, and the whole world, too."

The Macy Monitor has just closed its tenth year. It is a spicy paper and . works devotedly for the welfare of the community in which it is published. Walkerton can build water works if it will. This is to be a test of the enterprise and public spirit of the i (own—and the outside world is looking on. A Chicago man has invented a new torpedo boat. It is said to be one of the most deadly engines of war ever devised. War may become after awhile too dangerous an affair lor na tions to fool with. The sharp dispute bet ween Trance ami Brazil over the Trench Guiana boundary is verging closetosomething more serious. The United States may jet see tit to take a hand in the altercation. The Monroe doctrine may be called into requisition. Mux sen ciickw is (he way the Plymouth Democrat spells jf, and (hat paper is no doubt good authority on that point. But the Democrat will doubtless have to go it alone in pronouncing it that way, as custom has made it “Maxenkuckee”, and that will probably always remain the popular pronunciation. There is a new law in Indiana to regulate the sale of pernicious literature. It provides a penalty of from $lO to S2OO for printing, selling or publishing books, papers or periodicals, the chief feature or characteristic of which is the record of crime commit- ■ ted, criminals, desperadoes or men and I women in unbecoming costumes “A thorough national organization I of silver democrats," is a late political I scheme. A call has been issued bv j United Slates Senators Harris, of leu ! nessee, Jones, of Arkansas, and Tur | pie, of Indiana, for a meeting, with ■ the above purpose in view, to be held I at Washington, D. U, in August next ! Tree coinage democrats in even state I are to be represented. Spain is finding a gieat deal mote ' resistance from the Cuban insurgents than she at first bargained for The Spanish government as much as iuli mated by its blustering policy in the beginning of the trouble that it would make short work of the Cuban rebel- i lion. But the cause of the Cuban patriots is still moving on and is apparently far from being squelched. It is rumored that South Bend is to have a morning daily paper. That city has quite a cemetery tilled with the remains of ambitious publications of (hat kind. But it seems a little singular that a morning paper can't make a success of it there, a city of 30,000 inhabitants, when morning , papers are sustained in smaller cities ami apparently under less favorable circumstances. But perhaps the prom- j feed publication, should it materialize, , may afford a change in (he program and persist in living A writer in a recent number ol the Chicago Inter Ocean pays the followitig tribute to country scholars ami read I ers: The city in its arrogance and pride is .generallv ready to patronize or disparage the country. It seldom stops to consider the debt it owes to what are termed the “rural districts.” Yet nine tenths ot its distinguished men and women are country born and bred. The physician who attains celebrity, the preacher who becomes an oracle of religion and ethics, the editor ) who aids in molding public opinion — the most of al! these have developed ‘ brain and character in thecomparative quiet and leisure of the country. There men and women have time to j think and to read: there to-day, and I not in the cities, live nine, tenths ot the readers of books; those to whom the old classics are still literary authority; those who still know the old dramatists and essayists, and to whom the “Spectator” has not lost its charm. 'Take the country press, for example. The city press with all its boasting and display of influence, has drawn from this very source much of its virility and its originality. When men live packed together in hotels and apartment houses, when they are only units of the multitudes that throng the streets and battle for foothold in the street cars, they are bound to feel sooner or later the loss of their individuality. 'They are simply one of thousands and they realize it. In Chicago today it is probable that not, more than one w riter of ability in fifty was born in the city. The other forty-nine had their training in country newspaper offices, and very tohrough training it was—that which made and disciplined the “all round” writer who could never have so mastered his calling in the restricted department to which he would be assigned on a metropolitan journal.

Stinginess is too often taken fideconomy. There is a great difference bet ween the two. The former is despisable while the latter is a quality to be commended. The enforcement of a little public spirit at the right time is n lever that often lifts a town to permanent prosI perity and progress which might otherI wise have died 100 dead to skin. Harper’s Weekly believes that what ■ ever “use of Sunday does a man th,, most good, that, for him, is the best use, and seemingly most eonsonant with Christian doctrine.” The barbers of Chicago me making a determined move to observe I he Sun- ; day closing law. The majority of t hem ’ lire in earnest and have organized to enforce the law against violators, i Boston has all preparations pleted to welcome the hosts of tian Endtmvon<ra who will hold (he H convention in that city. Thta meef^g will be of world wide im|»ortance, as repi esentat ives w ill be present from J neatly every country on the globe. It will probably be the largest religious gathering ever held.

I Returning prosperity will make many rich, but nowhere can they make so much within a short time as by successful Speculation in Grain, Provisions and Stock. (TIA 00 FOR EACH DOLLAR INVESTED can be made by our 'P’V. SYSTEMATIC PLAN OF SPECULATION originated by u>. All successful speculators operate on a regular system. It is n well-known fact that there are thousands of men in all parts of the United States who, by systematic trading through Chicago brokers, make large amounts every year, ranging from a few thousand dollars for the man who invests a hundred or two hundred dollars up to 850,000 to B'oo,ooo or more by those who invest a few thousand. It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small investments on this plan are persons who live away from Chicago and invest through brokers who thoroughly understand systematic trading. Our plan does not risk the whole amount invested on any trade, but covers both sides, so that whether the market rises or falls it brings a steady profit that piles "p enormously in a short time.
