@he Independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA, OCT. 12, 189. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Chiergo hotel men propose to offer Lig inducements to secure the coming ropullican national convention. i BRI TR A M AR AR, The [ndiana democratic office hold- ‘ ers 2t Washington, D. C., are said to be atmost a unit in opposing the nomination of Cleveland for a third term. e e With the ;“n-'-iﬂce of wheat :ldv:mcingl and a diminishing outflow of gold seem the publie treasury the indica- l tions are bright for better times in the | United States. : — The forty-five year age limit benying upon the police and f(ire departments has been abolished in Chicago, ~and old men are now eligible to jobs i O R e D ;;‘f,s\" _Rt L ;i % ihto Zjilfte a presidential - quantity. - Ifthe republicans select a western | ~ man, and that seems to be the idea at | present, perhaps no belter man than | Allison could be ¢hosen, ‘ S STR AST €t The American navy is being strengthened with new and lirst-class warships. i At the rate of improvement which has | characterized our navy for the l:lst.! few years the Uniled States will soon | be as stroug upon the sens ns England with her boasted navy. RN AN 1 R The Kansas City Times is in (ln-! bious financial shape. T'he debts of the concern amount to about S2OO, 000, and a receiver has been appointed. The Times was at one time a very popular paper, but its star has been waning for the last few yewrs. The only daily paper in Kansas City which is said to be making money is the Star. , Since it is outof the question for thut . Corbett-Fitzsimmons f(ight to tuku' place in Texas the sports are turning | their eyes toward the Indian Territory | as the probable place for the fight to ’ eome off. But it is questionable ~ whether the fight can be held there. { ~ The United States government is said ;' ato have the anthority to prevent any- | r;gtMOf the kind in the Territory, and 5 | ‘ii'itlreudy taking steps to; " enforce his authority should an atm:& e made to hold the fight there. | The eity election in Indianapolis | last Tuesday resulted in a signal tri- |, umph for the democrats. Taggart, {( . the demoeratic candidate for mayor, ?" defeated T'rusler, the republican eandi- | date, by about 4,000 votes. T'his shows ! < a loss of over 6,000 votes to the re- | publicans as compared with the city ’ i election of u year ago. The present } i republican administration has rigidly ’ i enforeed the Nicholson temperance |, law which has reacted upon the re- l} publicans, and Trusler fell about 1,000 |, votes behind his ticket from the fact | that he bolted Harrison in 1892, ‘lhese were the principal causes whicli | contributed to the republican defeat. ‘ e e " In speaking of the Cuba question| Senator Sherman in an interview pub-| | lished in the New York World, says: i i “There is no doubt a diversity ob} opinion in regard to annexing Cuba to | the United States in case it can estab- | lisk iis independence of Spain. I have | been and now am opposed to the an- || nexation of outlying territory like " Cuba, especially when it is well settled | by a nation speaking a different lang- ! wage and with different institntions | than ours. I think congress would Ii @wu’ recognize the independence of | - Cuba if the insurgents would establish | -a defacto republican government over I t _%he island. Further than that T do] ' not, believe the general sentiment of | the people of the United States wonld | ! bie in favor of going.” | ————— Fhee probability of the United States wnd the Sounth and Central American countries ing jointly in recognizing thre Cuban belligerents i being dis cussed among representative men lin Washington City. This has been i1 formally suggested e §sial i parfapent as a good plan. 1t is thought advisable, however, by tliose concerned to wait until the Cuban cause gains more headway before takin'g any {)f‘wi‘i\" action. 1t would seem: that the Cuban heroes need the encouragement of syinpathizing nations at the present juncture if they ever will. They are fighting for the etetnal principle of liberty and the nations which boast of republican institutions are showing the white feather by withholding their recognition and encouragement. There is no question as to the justness of the €ubans’ cause and the principle for whick they are fighting is just as right now as it will ever be.

The Ferris wheel, the great mech- | aniecal wonder at the world’s fair, is | in operation again near Lincoln park, Chicago. AN ENH AN LTS | Spain has lleg()tillﬁéa;ri()ill! of $15,000,000 with which to carry on the war in Caba. Spain begins to realize that she has a big job on her hands. AN SR AL I T T'he first steps i;uny profession or ealling are comparatively easy, It is the last few rounds toward the top of the ladder which test the ability of the climber. Gov. Matthews has appointed Col. Willinm Hoynes, of Notre Dame Uni!vm‘sity, as . member of Indiana’s centennial committee. An excellent I selection, — i' Liarge mass meetings in behalf of Cuba are being held in Chicago. Great interest and sympathy are manifest in the western metropolis for the ‘Clthﬁl_[ MEORR. ; ‘ T KT ill this year harvest three hundred million bushels of corn, lmm-aighth of the entire crop of l.he} !cuunt.ry, and an average of four and lmu,--lmlf bushels for every man, wo(man and child in the United States. . W. W. Story, the American sealptor, artist and poet, died recently at Vallambrosa, Italy. He was one of F American’s most distinguished seulp!t.m's and exercised great influence in televating art in this country. He was a son of the late Justice Story ol the United States supreme beneh. RS ST« HOS e | During the race meeting by the South Bend Driving Club last week the ‘l'ribune had o private wire running from the judges’ stand at the race track, thus giving the news of the races while it was hot. Several editiong were issued during the day. This was an advance step in - country daily journalism. | —_—em ~ 'The Evansville Couriersays: “If the report that Seeretary Olney hias notified the Spanish minister that unless the rebellion in Cuba is pat down within three months the United States will interfere be true, American hearts | will beat quicker, for it wonld indi. eate that the secretary of state intends to put some spirit into onr foreign policy and lead to the hope that his ultimatan to Spain will be followed by one to Eugland o get out of Venezuela or prepare for a fight.” Ex-Senator Mahone, of Virginin, died in Washington, D. C,, last Tuesday. He was a forcelul eharacter in polities and ent quite & figure at one time as & member of the United States senate. He was a rebel general and a close friend of the late Alexander H. Stevens, who was vice-president of the southern confederacy. Mahone began ’ life with but very few circumstances | in his favor, having a limited educa- ‘ tion and being of unprepossessing appearance and frail constitution. But l having an indomitable will and an | abundance of perseverance he over- | came all abstacles and won his way to { a high station in life. He was a | striking and interesting character. i I'he axis of character is moral, not 1 mental. When it is a matter of child training, therefore, the first question is not on intellectual brightness but on development of moral intensity. I'he quality of the soil will condition the character of the produects that issue from it, and the sure placing of the foundation stone will determine both the solidity and the permanency of all the architecture imposed wpon it. ‘T'he ultimate worth of a man is' the keenness and vigor of his moral intentions. It is far more important{ to train a child’s will than it is tol train his mind. He may alter his mind as he grows older, but he will not probably alter his will.—Dr. PARKHURST. The Rev. Dr. Thomas, of Chicago, struck a popular chord in the hearts of the American people, when he declared last Sunday from his pualpit that the time had ecome when Amwmerica should say that the oppression of Cuba by Spain must end. “All our memories are on the side of freedom,” says the Dr. “When we struggled, France neld out a helping hand, and Russia ' sent her warships to eruise off New York. Can we supinely stand still and let Spain erush the life out of | these struggling patriots? 1 don’t L call them rebels. They are patriots, !':\s brave as men ever were, and are struggling for the rights of men as we ioncu struggled. Governments move 'slowly, but there is no need to delay ‘1 the expression of our sympathy. It is l‘ fitting that the voice of the pulpit, the | press and the people of this great city, | the center of the country, should be ‘lheard first.
