®ljc JndepenbcnL WALKERTON, INDIANA, SEP. 2S. 1895. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. According to the Indianapolis I’lade Journal prices will rule high this win ter. The widow of Governor Chase has been presented with a comfortable borne at Wabash by friends. A system of water-works would increase the value of every piece of property in town nt least ten per cent. It would also reduce the insurance rates. Water-works are worth all they cost to any town. Walkerton can not afford to do without them. The general, as well as the direct, Benefits of water-works should be conMdered. Property is worth more and insurance rates are less in a town Umi has water-works. A town with this improvement, is a more desirable place do live in and consequently there is more demand for property, ami the value of property is regulated by the demand, as anybody with average judgment knows. The INDKPKNDENT endorses the fol lowing from an exchange: “The peo pie of Indiana should pay better wages for teachers and insist on higher standards in educat ion and morals amongst the teachers of the Slate and see how rapidly the influence will make itself felt and that for good. No immature and ignorant teacher can ever create a high grade school or turn out finished pupils. They will pattern after their instructor.” American citizens in Cuba are suffering indignities from the Spanish authorities. One American was forcibly ejected from his own property .and another was placed in prison. The matter has been placed before the state department at Washington. The Spanish government is just now in a mood where it easily becomes enraged at anything that savors of Nineteenth Centuryism, and therefore an American is at once an object of hatred to this governmental remnant of the dark ages. The Rochester Sentinel issued a ' souvenir edition in honor of the laying I as the corner stone of the Fulton conn- ; fy court house September 19. The paper consists of sixteen pages besides & Ihmdsome four-page cover, and is nicely illustrated with pictures of, prominent citizens of Rochester and Mte county, also public buildings, fine residences and business blocks. It contains a brief sketch of the history of Fulton county and Rochester and , numerous biographical sketches or leading men. This souvenir edition ■ is in all respects a line piece of enter- ( prise, reflecting credit upon the man- , Agementof the Sentinel ami honor । «pon the city and county. I Gen. Jasper Packard, editor of (he New' Albany Tribune, was among those who were injured by the collapse of the grand stand during the soldiers’ national encampment at Louisville. The general, fort unately, was not seriously injured. Some of his toes were considerably the worse off in a heroic effort to hold up a part of the grand stand, after it fell, with several hundred people on top. The general has no doubt suffered more from the mutilation of his name by some of the newspapers in reporting the event than from physical injuries. Some idea of the general’s sufferings can be gained from the following, which is the way a number of his contemporaries referred to him: -‘Col. Joseph < •‘Gen. Joseph Pickard,” —r I j f “Gen. Joseph A. Packard,” “Col. Jo1 s seph N. Pickard,” etc , etc. The Inter Ocean, in an editorial on ' “The Future of the Horse,” says “he is i all right, and is here to stay. Adol- ’ j bus will hire an electric buggy or petroleum propelled phaeton when he. takes Angelina out on a moonlight j drive. The time will never come when ! Old Croesus and his wife will stroll along the boulevard in an electric brougham. The horse is the symbol of wealth. The children will never , cry for a kerosene buggy, as they do for a pony and trap. Alen never will ■ flbck to the English Ascot or the, American Harlem to watch, and to j bet on races between electric and , vapor-propelled sulkies. If mankind were utilitarian only, the end of the | horse would not be faroff. Butthank heaven, mankind is not utilitarian । only. The greater part of mankind is . utilitarian only that it may earn | leisure and money wherewith to gratify its emotional nature. And in the gratifications of that horses always played, and always will play, an important part.”

An exchange makes this peitinent observation: No matter how hard a man may struggle to do right, there is always some sneaking scoundrel, some loathsome reptile, some pimple on the face of nature, some wart on the hand of destiny trying to drag him down. Many a man nuis, not from lack of merit, but from the luck of appreciation by his fellow men,” who seem to let the glitter of brass dazzle their eyes and rattle their senses, and it is only when time and tarnish has obliterated the lustre of the brass that the pure gold in contrast, shows its worth, but many times too late. “Great, hearts are full of sympathy and support for their fellow men. Failure of life is loss of confidence in one’s character. When you see a man faltering, take him by the hand, help him up; when you see a man climbing, cheer him on, that he may reach the top and stand on the summit of success.” In speaking of the trustees’ reports ns published under the new law, the Goshen Times says: The publication over the state of township trustees’ re|»orts gives great satisfaction. All the people are interested In the township finances and the statements are thoroughly scrutinized by them. Errors have been discovered in several, and whether designedly or inadvertently made will be subject, to future investigation. The reports are always sub mltted to ami examined by the county commissioners, but in the rush ol busi ness these officials cannot always give them the searching attention their importance demands, but when they come before the people through the newspaper, no mistakes, frauds, or double dealing will escape detection. Monday’s Indianapolis Journal expresses the judgement of the people in general when it says: No Indiana law of recent years has done as much good in the same length of time or received as much popular approval as the one requiring township trustees to pub IRh annual reports. And the usefulness of the law will continue to increase.
