.Independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. OCT. 19, 1896. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The Wisconsin republicans are for 'McKinley. The Atlanta exposition is closed on Sundays. In Atlanta, Ga., there is a house built entirely of paper from foundation to chimney. Leading paper manufacturers have formed a trust, w hich will likely in•crease the price of news print.

4 **' Elizabeth Cady Stanton is eighty years old, but is still active and vigorous in the cause of woman’s rights It is estimated that the wheat harvest of the world for 1895 is about 100,000,000 bushels less than that of 1894. Ex-President Harrison worked and, voted at the Indianapolis election for Trusler, the man who bolted him in i 1892. A friend that you have Io buj won’t be worth what you pay for him, no matter what that may be. Geoiioe ±). I’UEX TK E Were the democrats to hold the state convention to nominate a candidate for governor, within the next few weeks, Tom Taggart would probably have a walk awav. t Hot Springs is probably the ‘ place where the Corbett-Fitzsimmons '

fight will be held. Protection is guaranteed, providing the contest is limited to a certain number of rounds and the principals use soft, gloves. A comet, which is now visible to astronomers, is said to be coming Straight toward the earth. But as the result of the earth’s collision with these wanderers of the sky has never been known to be anything more serious than a copious shower of stars, nothing is to be feared even if this comet should come in contact with our planet. Charges have been preferred against 176 mail carriers in Chicago. They have been watched by secret inspectors and found derelict in their duty. First Assistant Postmaster General lones at Washington has notified (In l r<irriers of the charges brought against them and they will be given ten days hr which to make a defense. No doubt many dismissals from the service will follow.

Dr. Gunsaulus, at the Cuban meeting in Chicago, eloquently declared that “Oliver Cromwell’s boyhood heard the invincible Spanish armada go to pieces on the shores of AngloSaxon freedom.’’ That sounds like a pretty good sentence, but the Louisville Courier Journal calls attention to the fact that the destruction of the Spanish armada occurred in 1588, while the birth of Oliver Cromwell did not occur till 1599. The Chicago » ’bune humorously suggests that v atterson must be unaware that tol.V nsaulus has one of the first “Dr. GiK mses ever issued in Chipoetical HCh. | lO needs now is a cago.” What og dictionary of dm. ... ;— — < of divorce in The numerous case. , hat the mar . •the courts demonstrates riage>relation is held very u ensemble number of feople. Oll r lax divorce laws Me largob ~ sponsible maU y misalliances. /The ;^ith which a divorce may be secured is a consideration with some people when they take the matrimonial step. '1 he resu’t is they act

hastily, realizing that with but little trouble through the process of law they can dissolve the bonds of matrimony, in case they are not suited. More stringent laws would prevent many missteps and much unhap- ' piness. Lax divorce laws are a great injury to society. The “silver craze,” as it is called by some thoughtless p, iple, is not dying out by any means. A well informed man from the. west, who recently spent a few weeks in New York, has this to say: “Any man who thinks that the sentiment for free coinage of silver is dying out, only fools himselfI have been in the center of gold bugs and bondholders for th'* past two

weeks, ami 1 hud the leaven is working in favor of both metals- New York has felt the pinch of the hard times, and her monied men are beginning to hunt, for a remedy. Many of them confessed that they believe it lay in the liberation of silver. The time is comming when we will see the great financial centers the most earnest advocates of bimetalism.”

You can always pick up the man who tries to renovate the morals of the entire community. He never has the time to attend to the wicked leaks in his own roof.—Milford Mail. The Morning Herald, South Bend’s new daily, made its first appearance last Sunday. William I*. O’Neil, of the Mishawaka Democrat, is the editor, and the paper is out and out democratic. The commissioners of LaPorte county have granted saloonists permission to play cards in their places of business. Os what use is a state law if a few county commissioners can arrogate to themselves the authority of setting aside such a law?

. The Pierceton Record, published by Kist Bros., has risen from the ashes . bright and smiling- I’he first issue of the Record since the office was de- ■ slroyed by tire Sept. 10, appealed October 10. The paper has a new dress and is right in it again for bustllfss. Seven people who attended a wed- ! ding feast at Sabula, lowa, died from trichina' in the ham eaten. The ham 'was not sufficiently cooked, 'i’he deadly trichime is peculiar to pork, and people who eat this meat when it is not thoroughly cooked are taking big chances. The metropolitan papers have taken steps to blacklist and dismiss fake correspondents. This will go hard with those conscienceless fakirs al LaPorte, Warsaw, Wabash and a few other places, who have long imposed on the newspapers and reading public with their untruthful reports.

The result of the Indianapolis election has doubtless had the effect of inspiring the Indiana democrats with the hope of carrying the state next fall. They have some reason for feeling jubilant. But they will have a big job on their hands of wiping out the 40,000 republican majority of list year. The situation is invested with keen interest. John W. Baker, editor of the Col- : iimbia City Commercial, has announced himself as a candidate for the nomi- । nation of lieutenant govetnoi on the republican ticket. Mr. Baker has given his parly long and useful service ( through his paper ami has never until . now put himself forward for office. I He deserves the nomination as a re- ■ ward for his services. A writer in the Cleveland World has his doubts if Chicago journalism under present conditions can be pro (Hable. “The Tribune,” says the writ-

; er, “makes money in spite of $2,000 । per week for the chromo cure. The ; Inter Ocean jogs along, making ends meet. The Times Herald has an immense income, but has hardly passed the experimental stage. The Chronicle is eating up five or six thousand dollars per week, which cheerful and hopeful Democrats have given. The News Record pays well as a legitimate newspaper, and that is about all. Surely, Chicago has some stunning newspapers.” Josiah Flynt throws considerable light on the tramp problem, he having gained some good ideas on this question by practical observation. Helms । tramped with the “hobo” and shared ' his lot throughout this country and Englund with the view of discovering a solution to the tramp problem. He agrees with Prof. McCook that whisky I [is the fool or vmJ l‘ vil u( vagrancy but does nut believe that the Atnerieau i tramp is In any sense the result of • fluctuations of the labor market. The , American tramp, as he has found him, does not want to work, as a rule. Under the influence of drink he be-

comes a sort of voluntary idler. If he could rid himself of this vice, however, Mr. Flynt is convinced that he will go to work and could be made a valuable citizen. George Westinghouse, of Pittsburg, has a achene in view which, if it proves feasible, will do away with the steam locomotive. He is of the opini ion that the heaviest stationary and locomotive engines can be run by gas derived directly from coal, without the ; use of steam. Mr. Westinghouse proi poses to woric on this plan and he F seems confident that he can make a . success of it. The object is to use s the power of great gas engines di- .> reel ly to the generation of electricity,

which would do away with the grta abstacle now in the way of the geneial use of electricity as a power for driving large engines—the great loss of power from using the heat of burning coal to generate steam with which to generate the electric current.. Mr. Westinghouse is said to be no visionary but a practical machinist of long ■ experience, and much confidence is placed in his judgment.

• The citizens of St. Joseph, Midi., nre taking a great interest in the Cuban affair. They have made up a purse to send Rev. H. W. Davis to the island to ascertain the facts concerning j the true condition of Cuba. Rev. Davis’ trip and all the facts that he may learn will be kept strictly private until he returns to this country, when he will lie prepared to give a true story of affairs in Cuba. Very Troublesome. Laxative “teas” are a bother. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is more convenient, i pleaaaut to take ami more effective. ; Try a 10 cent bottle, large sizes 50c and , and $1 at Bellinger & Williams’.
