When the democratic party bade good-bye to old Kentucky she parted with a “stayer,” a friend tried and true. If Corbett ami Fitzsimmons would disguise themselves and play a football game to a finish they could settle their affair. Dr. C. O. Myers, formerly editor of the Kendallville Standard, died recent Jy at his home in Florida at the age of 67 years. He was an editor of the vigorous, aggressive type and was well known throughout Indiana. Bandits have made another attempt to lx>!d up a street car in J.he wikis of Chicago. Four men tried it on the West Side last Sunday but the plucky ( resistance of the conductor and I motorman foiled the attempt of the bandits. Rev. Dr. 'Thomas, of Chicago, believes that the world is growing better. It is to be hoped t hat Dr. Thomas sees correctly, but no doubt there are many men of wide experience in the practical affairs of life who will not agree with the Chicago divine on this point. It seems to be the growing senti meat of the mass of the people that a presidential crisis every four years in this country is a little too numerous. A six or eight years term for the president would doubtless meet the ap probation of the great, majority of the people of the United States. The “black board” law has again been sustained by the Indiana supreme court. This law requires railroads to note upon a blackboard about 1 twenty minutes before the schedule time of a passenger train information as to whether such train will be on ’ time and if late how much. This law is a great convenience for the travel- 1 ing public and would seem to be a much needed provision. Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago i Tribune, in his tribute to the late Eugene Field, styled him the Shakespeare of childhood. This applicat ion to Field is happily appropriate. He । was eminently an interpreter of chiidbood, and wove his deep impres- ( sions of the childish nature into poems which are marked with a daintiness and pathetic beauty that perhaps have never been surpassed by any of our modern poets. Ex President Harrison was an at- < torney in a patent, case in Chicago this I week. Many of the citizens of Chica- i go, it is said, who never saw the dis- s tingnished ludianian, loitered about the door of the court room and craned their necks to get a look at him. No doubt those who expected to see a tall, distinguished looking man were disappointed when they saw instead a short, very ordinary looking man of “common clay.” Eugene Field, a leading journalist, poet and humorist of the west, died very unexpectedly last. Monday morning of heart disease at his home in Chicago. The death of Eugene Field is a distinct loss to American literature. He was a poet of considerable merit. His “Little Boy Blue” is one of his famous poems. Mr. Field was employed on the staff of the Chicago Record for a number of years and in that journal first appeared some of his notable productions. Mr. Field was taken from life when in the zenith of liis usefulness,lie being but 45 years I

old at his death. . The Republic of Mexico seems to be as thoroughly established as any of her sister Republics and more prosperous G.an the United States. The free silver coinage of Mexico not only acts as * protection in keeping our importahons from foreign countries where the gold standard prevails but it furr.ishes the people with a sufficient Amount of money to do business without involving them in hopeless indebtedness. There used to be a patent phrase, “we do not want to Mexicanire this country.” But a little Mexicanization just now as far as financial policies are concerned would warm the heart of many a discouraged business man and start the country again on the road to prosperity. Reducing the volume of money in a country that is throbbing with the impulse of growth in population and development is the most fatal wrong that can be inflicted. —Evansville Courier.

Chauney Depew threatens to write a book. We notice that, some of our democratic exchanges are confining themselves strictly to local news at present. Some of the democratic papers are working their roosters over-time on the strength of Mississippi and New York City.

* Information received from forty-two I points in the Indiana gas belt states [ that, the gas pressure has increased sixty per cent since the earthquake of last week. Today life is far from being a struggle for existence. t is, however, a batt Ie for greater comforts, for more exquisite pleasure. 'The combatants are gross materialism on the one hand and high intellectual life on the other; and modern literature is the shining blade that will win the victory for the spiritual forces.—Judge Heo. B. Card will. THE DEATH RECORD. KELLER. Ollie the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chase Keller, of Tyner, passed to the higher life, Nov. 3rd, 1895, alter an illness of about two weeks. Aged I 13 years, 10 months and 27 days. She was greatly loved by all who knew her, and will be sadly missed by her relatives and friends. Dearest Ollie, thou has left us, Ami thy loss we deeply feel But it’s God that has bereaved us, He can all our sorrows heal. But, Ollie, thy memory is nut forsaken, Thou art but resting hero a little while, We shall yet hear thy voice and see thy smile In the bright morn where thou shall awaken. Her Schoolmates. ROBISON. Walker Philip Robison, son of Robert and Lena Robison, died Oct. 31, aged 8 years and 2 days. 'The cause of death was abscess of the stomach. The deceased was a bright, and inter esting boy and his death falls as a heavy weight on the family and friends. 'The funeral services were I conducted by Rev. Stockbarger at the I Island church Saturday morning and the interment took place at the Walker ton eemet ery. W ENGER. Cora Alice Rhinehart, was born in - Marshall county near Pretty Lake Chapel, August. 31st, 1869. At about the age of 13 years she, with her parents, removed to Oregon township, Starke county. March 24th, 1888, she was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to John E. Wenger and with whom she lived a life of love, truthfulness and devotion; • in the spring of 1895 she suffered with attacks of hemorrage of the lungs, which soon developed into the dread disease consumption of which she died November 4, aged 26 years, 2 months and 3 days. Her husband and little son, her father, three sisters, Mrs. Belle Brumbaugh, of Chicago, Mrs. Ella Hoover, living on the old home place near Pretty Lake Chapel, and Eliza, together with three brothers, John, living in South Bend, Schuyler, of Plymouth, and George, of Hanna, still , ■ survive her. Despite mortal pain she was pleasant and patient to all during her suffering; a professing Christian, believing that Christ could do and save I all, happy in that saving faith, she quietly passed from this life. Dying in the early morning it. can be truthfully said that as the morn broke forth she passed into the night. The funeral was held at the house Nov. 5. Rev. Riley officiating burial at the Walkerton cemetery.—Trebor. TYNER CITY. Wm. Kyle, Jr., is working nt the , county farm. Ed Wallace is breaking on the L. E.
