^lje independent. ^fc-IXERTON. INDIANA. NOV. 2. 1895. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. ittowrnor Matthews will make sev- • and-speeches in Ohio for the demo- « era&ie state ticket. The republicans of the state met at Indianapolis last week to hold an in- ■ queet over the corpse. 'There are rumors of war between -the. United Stales and England over the Venezuelan trouble. The Indiana is one of the greatest .var vessels that, float the seas. The ’ oejit is worthy of the great, state whose name she hears. Trusler, the defeated republican candidate for mayor of Indianapolis, got exactly the. dose he deserved. Bolters like him ought to always be ’ turned down.

The state supreme court has at firmed the validity of the fee and aaJary law which was passed by the 1 last legislature. This law reduces the • income of certain county oilices by half, at least.

Holmes is now being tried for his life in Philadelphia. The attorneys for the defence abandoned the case al • the last moment before the trial, and Holmes is obliged to act as his own attorney. He is said to be making an able defence and displaying a nerve, acumen and skill in handling his case which is quite surprising. Successful experiments in raising tea have been made in the vicinity of Charleston, South Carolina. It is be Iteved by those who have studied the subject that the tea plant can be profitably raised in various portions of the south where the climate is almost identical with that of India, in which country the cultiue of tea ha^ been

developed Tn the past few years. A town is like a large family. We are all interested in each others welfare tar should he. A cut-throat, every-tuan-for himself policy means ruin to any-community. It means retrogression and failure. The first lesson any family must learn to be successful and ha|»py, is unity and mutual assistance. Ute same applies to the business life of a town, and the more generally it is obeyed the more abundant will be the town’s prosperity. Buffalo, San Francisco, St. Louis, Pittsburg and Chicago are the leading cities which are bidding for the republican national convention. Either Chicago or St. Louis would seem to have the advantage so far as convenience of location is concerned. Chicago, which has had her share »’* conventions for several ye.us pas ~ , . . graceful thing by would be doing ° ; ..Hide and giving poor old St. Standing asm not < ..uis, her near neighbor, a chance m this instance. Os course Chicago will Jo that. Senator Sherman, who has been a candidate for president, either active ar passive, at nearly every republican national convention for the past fifteen years, has finally abandoned the dream of his life, and will rally his forces for McKinley. He. will probably lead the Ohio delegat ion of MeKinleyites at, the republican national convention next, year. Sherman’s sup-

port will have great weight and in- , fluence in behalf of McKinley, and may, perhaps, unify the republican f ictions of Ohio in supporting the apostle of protect ion. The following pertinent paragraph is found in Newspaperdom. “The true policy for a newspaper is to treat its contemporaries with respect, even if they do not deserve it. An editor must think of his own paper. When he attempts to castigate a rival, he lashes himself far more severely. The public has nothing but contempt for the editor who allows himself to make war upon a rival in his own columns; and it is a practice that, richly deserves all the contempt the public bestows. It is very often extremely hardjto restrain the biting pen, yet the reward conies when, in hours of sanity and good temper, one can go over the files without wishing a Russian press censor could be turned loose upon them.”

General Jasper Packard, of the New Albany’ Tribune, hits been elected , president of the Southern Indiana Press Association. The toughs and criminals are being driven out of Chicago. The country districts will be in great danger from this straggling element. The National Wagon Manufacturers’ Association at a recent meeting in Chicago decided to raise the price of wagons. The reason given is that the cost of production has been increased by the advance in the price of steel, iron and other materials necessary in making wagons. The New Albany Press expresses itself in this way about the public schools of Indiana: ‘‘There is entirely too much high school and college hiialutin in management and methods in the common school system, which as originally designed, is altogether ignored ami disregarded. Extra expense for extra nonsense is what the taxpayers are seriously objecting to.

100 many intricate studies in primary departments, too much cramming and superficial foolishness and entirely too little practical education is what is injuring and destroying our public school system.” Die men who tortured the colored man, Ellis, in Tennessee, Oct. 16, were just, as guilty of crime as he was. —La Porte Herald. That’s putting it a little strongly. They were not criminals, but doubtless good men, the most of them, who allowed their hot-headed desire for justice to get the tauter of their judg ment. Ly nching is a bad thing, but who would want to see good men treated as criminals on account of this

3 brute of a negro? * The prize light at long range be- ( tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons still goes on fiercely through the metropolitan papers. Both men are fight ing heroically and much punishment has been received unflinchingly by each combatant. Fitzsimmons, al though but a middle-weight, is standing his ground nobly against his heavy-weight antagonist. The end of the tight can not be foretold at this time. The Corbett Fitzsimmons fight is invested with unusual interest, because it has inaugurated a “new school of pugilism.” I’he Grand Trunk railroad company

pi 1 11 -1 the wreck where it belongs, if possible. The cause of the wreck was the burning ot the marsh which set the bridge on fire. Whoever started the fire on the marsh wili 4 responsible for damages, as the fire should have been watched and guarded from the railroad company’s grounds. It is said that the company will investigate with a view to finding ■ out the responsible person. As the wreck was a very disastrous one and expensive for the company, the damages will be a heavy load on the shoulders of the guilty party, should he be responsible financially. A writer on Japan says that it is a land without the domestic animals. It is this lack which strikes the stranger so forcibly in looking upon Japanese landscapes. There are no cows- the Japanese neither drinks milk nor eats meat. There are but few horses, and they are imported mainly for the use of foreigners. The freight carts in the city streets are pushed and pulled by coolies and ^he pleasure carriages drawn by men. There are but few doge and these are neither ' used as watch dogs, beasts of burden nor in hunting, except by foreigners. There are no sheep in Japan, and ’ wool is not used for clothing, silk and cotton being the staples. There are * no pigs —pork is an unknown article i of diet—and lard is not used for cook- ’ ing. There are no goats, or mules or donkio }- — —

Watch Your Words. The corruption of vowel sounds and misplacement of Th, dropping them when they should be heard, and adding them without rule or reason, are marks of careless, oftener than ignorant, speech. New ami dew rhyme with few, the ew having the force of yu,—not with the preposition to nor with the verb do. Don’t talk about reading the “Non Yo’k noospapus”; the r in York, though not rolled, is distinctly articu lated. Its absence marks a slovenly pronunciation, and the same may be said of the word paper. Those who drop the r from such words as paper, water, summer, mother, etc., invariably add it to others, and opera be comes operar; Asia, Asiar; a re a, a re AR, TAFFETA, TAFFETAR J the list COllld be extended indefinitely, for careless speakers are prone to add the R tc most words ending in A. —From “ComI mon Errors in Speech,” in Demorest’s M AGAZINE FOR NOVEMBER.

The Earth Quaked. I Last Thursday morning a few mutes after 5 o’clock many of our .dizens were rudely awakened from ‘ ei r slumbers by the trembling of the / arth which shook buildings, rattled 1 vindows, opened doors, etc., elc. The muse of the disturbance was an earth\nmike at Charleston, Missouri. 'l’he Librations were very well marked here ? and continued for about a minute. 3 The earthquake at Charleston was of 1 great violence; the daily papers state I that after the first shock the earth’s I surface continued to vibrate for twenty minutes. Hundreds of chimneys were toppled down and many buildings damaged. I’he shock was felt, all over the Mississippi valley.
