The Independent. e oty WALKERTON, INDIANA, OCT. 26, 1895, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The population of Cabu is 1,600,000 War between Russia and Japan seems imminent. ‘The bone of contention is Corea. Pneumatic tires, which are generally supposed to be of late invention, were used on carriage wheels in England lifty years ago. BTN AT IERIRISR S RN A BDN South Bend’s 60th anniversary occurs next Tuesday. The press of the city is advoeating a formal observance of the occasion. J————— Republicans are trying to repudiate Nicholson and his bill, but the reverend gentleman refuses to be vepudiated. He says that the new temperance law isa republican measure and that it was enacted by the repubheans.—Michigan City Dispateh. ‘ Well, there is no ocecasion for “re. pudinting.” The law is nothing to be ashamed of. —— Maurice Perkins, one of the best known journalists of Indianapolis, has passed away. He was a very brifliant writer and being a true man had many warm friends. The person-l al tributes from the pens of some of the deceased’s brother newspaper men, who knew him intimately, are eloquent in praise of the dead man’s worth as & man and his ability as a writer and artist. : RS AR SRS Ex-Senator Edmonds, of Vermont, says the inter-state commerce Ilaw needs amending. The law, as far :m' it goes, is all right, but it does not go far enough to have its decisions carried into effect until they become all mossgrown wiith age. It is to make it more effective, he advises a new commission, to consist of two or three United States supreme judges, two or three railroad men, and the same number of shippers with absolute power to enforee their decisions. — | To a young man who has in him-| gels the magnificent possibilities of | life it is not fitted that he should be permanently commanded; he should be a commander. You must not continue to be the employed. You must

be an employer. You must be promoted from the ranks to n command. There is something, yonng man, which you can command—go find it and command it. DO not, I beseech you, be content to enter npon any business which does not require and compel constant intellectual growth.—GARFIELD. R RATEME ST ST ST 35 Fitzsimmons prefers to let his fight with Corbett Dbe declared off rather than consent to the least alteration of l the articles. Corbett is disgusted. Fitz would be glad of an opportunity to avoid the meeting with Corbett. While prize fighting is to be deplored, yet there may be some honor and manhood connected with the ring. But Fitzsimmons has failed to show any of these qualities since the fight between him and Corbett was (irst proposed. He is a blowhard and coward who prefers to fight at long distance with his jaw. General Packard, editor of the New Albany ‘l'ribune, who visited the Cotton States Exposition at Atlanta, speaks as follows of a remarkable feature of the exposition: *“The Negro building at the Atlanta Exposition with its contents is a wonder of wonders and attracts the admiring attention of every visitor. The building is a large one well adapted to its uses and the building itself and all its exhibits were planned, designed zmd' executed by colored people, many of whom were slaves thirty years ago. It is a greater wonder of the world

than all the seven ancient ones put together.” ‘ e——— Some opposit,iofi has risen against the use of St. Joseph county stone in | the construction of the new court | house on the grounds that it would be very hard, and therefore expensive, to work into proper shape for use. However this may be, our native stone would doubtless make a very handsome building. Speaking of the beauty of a building constructed of “niggerheads” the Elkhart Truth says: “Some residents of South Bend are advocating the.use of ‘nigger heads’ for the erection of the new court house at that place. St. John’s Episcopal church, this city, is being built of this material and it is safe to say that no handsomer edifice can be found anywhere. ''he St. Joseph county opponents of ‘nigger heads’ should send a committee here and see what a thing of beauty this despised stone becomes “ter pussing’thrmlgh the hands of the “tter.’

There is an increased demand for the - | white metal on account of the needs ,|of China and Japan. The latter | | country shows a willingness to acecept the indemnity from China in silver. This has contributed largely to the ad- | vance in its price. This sudden de- ' mand for silver has also established | the searcity of the metal. A decrease of 62,000,000 ounces in the production {of silver this year is noted. ’ APPSR STR 3355 I'he first of October is supposed to be the date after which quail way be (lawfually killed. T'his is said to be a mistake. According to information floating around in our exchanges the revised statutes of 1893 provide = penalty for quail killed from January 1 to November 10 of the same year, The penalty for killing quail during the period of proscription is §2 each ot §1 for each quail pursued or found in the possession of any person. NN 5 BAR ST l It is reported that Rev. W. H. Davis, for two years pastor of the Congregational church at St. Joseph, Mich., startled a congreagation of 700 people, one Sunday evening recently, by confessing that he was n slave to the rum habit, He pictured his failing in a pathetic manner, the audience wept, and it is thought that many a iy(mng man has been taught a lesson by the words of Rev. Davis. It was & brilliant effort and is now the talk of the town. - This is a lightning age, and many a would-be reformer catching the spirit of the age would fain anccomplish in & day the work that even God himself seems content to see spread over centuries. We confess to something akin to a liking for this ardent, boiling quality that can not walt, It is better than the stolid indifference that leaves all things and all men to fate. Yet if this enthusiasm be not reined and controlled, it will run away with a man's usefulness in short order. | —l'rom the New York Qbserver.

M LRI RSP , It is said the Ohlo river is the lowest ever before known. This is also true with the Kankakee and nearly all the rivers of the central western states. What are we coming to?—Lalorte Argus. The *oldest inhabitant” claims that the present period of low water is| nothing new. The Kankakee river and the lakes of this region have in lyeurs past been as low, or nearly so, | las they are now. Os course the present condition of low water can only be temporary, as one rainy season alone will suflice to send the rivers and streams a-booming again and restore to the lakes their former supply of water. S——————— Spenking of the effect of the Nicholsou law, its author says: *“The quiet Sundays and holidays have brought the law into favor in quarters where it had nothing but opposition before it was passed. I heard a prominent Democratic leader in Logansport speaking well of it the other day. He said he was glad to see the saloons placed under compulsion to obey the law. I have no fears of its being declared unconstitutional, and I would not be surprised even if it were sustained in the courts in the several counties of the state. "There is very great interest in the law all over the state, and I have calls at the rate of twenty a week for meetings to organize Good Citizenship leagues—more than I can attend. I have so far made ninety-five speeches siunce the legislature adjourned, and have ad\dressed forty-six thousand people.”

The grammatical construction of John Greenleat Whittier’'s poetry is thus criticised by a critic whose education shows him to have not thoroughly improved his time while attending the rural district school: “Here is a glaring error in one of his \ most widely quoted poems, and I dare | say not a criticin America has ever nol ticed it: ' “Maud Muller on a summer's day g Raked the meadow sweet with hay”’ | “T'he word with should be by as the | meadow was made sweet by the hay, '| and not in conjunction with the hay.” . | —Goshen Democrat. -1 This critic will never be over-burd- "| ened with his stock of knowledge and | ability as a critie, especially of poetry. | «With" is correct as used by Whittier 3| in this verse, and even if it were not, ) | poetic license, which this would-be - | eritic perhaps never heard of, would - | make it so. Just read the above verse 1| with “by” substituted for “with” and { | hote the sudden jolting effect. It is : almost enough to produce nervous prostration.
