Independent. WALKERTON.-INDIANA. NOV. 23, 1895. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Tl*« great Chicago dailies have been reduced in price to one cent. Ties North Dakota prohibition law has been sustained by the supreme court -of that state. Oklahoma Territory has aspirations to become a state. The territory will push its claims for statehood. John Sherman thinks that it would he impracticable to retire the legal tender greenbacks, as suggested by Secretary Carlisle. The Chicago democrats are talking up Governor ill! geld for mayor. They think that he would be a good man to unite the various elements of the jfeffnledfie Turks are slaughtering The Armenians by the wholesale the <Jhristian nations are coming nobly to the rescue by passing resolutions of sympathy. Dr. Samuel Smith, the author of the patriotic song, “America,” died in Boston recently at the age of 87. He wrote a number of noted church and national hymns which have given him lasting fame. If you would relish food, labor for it before you take it, if you would enjoy clothing, pay for it before you wear it; if you would sleep soundly, take a clear conscience to bed with you.—Franklin. Governor Matthews has suffered a great affliction by the death of his son, Bennick Seymour, who died at Atlanta after an illness of a few weeks with typhoid fever. He was the governor's only son and a very promising young man. A horseless carriage run by electricity is now enroute across the country from New York to Chicago to take part in the races in the latter city. The speed of this carriage is twentyone miles an hour, and it will make the trip between the two cities in about eight days. A big tight to secure lower sleeping car lares is soon Lo be inaugurated. The railroads using the Pullman coaches are in favor of the move and will join in the demand for lower fares. Perhaps other railroads using the Wagner coaches will also give their ■encouragement to this move. The Chicago Evening Journal and Evening Press are to be consolidated. The Journal is over a half century old and is the oldest daily in Chicago. It is a special favorite with the older residents of Chicago, who will feel lost without their old reliable Journal. The publisher of the latter paper is to retire from the business and the Journal will lose its identity. Senator-Elect Thurston, of Nebraska, was a dray boy in Chicago when that, city was laid in ashes by the great tire. He is now a distinguished lawyer and Las earned his way to the United States senate by intellect and ideas. He did not purchase his seat, as he is not a man of wealth. A career like his is only possible in the best government that the sun ever shone upon. Hon. Theodore Shockney, of Union City, has announced his candidacy for governor on the republican ticket. Mr. Shockney has been prominent in the counsels of his party in the state for a number of years and is considered quite a strong man. He was candidate for lieutenant-governor in 1892, < -'f was buried in the general “snowunder” of that year. Helms represented his county—Randolph—in both branches of the legislature.

Some of the surrounding cities are; organizing vigilance committees “to save our girls.” When it becomes necessary for the country towns to organize simpering committees for the alleged purpose of “saving the girl” it is about time for the parents to resign their natural positions as protectors of their children and vote for an increase of the police force. Police and committee reared daughters are not to be desired under any circumstances, until it can be proven that these can direct them into the straight and narrow path better than father and mothers can do it. The organizers of vigilance committees to “save our girls” are usually professionals who go about from town to town in quest of jobs in their line of business. “This bad, bad world” is the stock in trade of these humbugs, and parents would do well to save “our daughters” from their clutches for they will all bear watchlug..—Wabash Times.

We want a religion that softens the • step and tunes the voice to melody and . fills the eye with sunshine and the heart with love and commiseration for our . fellow creatures.—Seymour News. Trade dollars are in circulation in : neighboring towns. While the trade ! dollar contains more silver than the current dollar, it is taken only at its bidlion value, which is 58 cents. ' Therefore, it is well to be on the look- ! out for them. Natural gas has been struck in White Pigeon, Mich. It, has been the general belief, as well as the opinion of scientists, that gas could not be found so far north. This discovery will no doubt have a great influence in st imulating a search for gas in many towns which have heretofore been considered outside of the gas vein. Prof. W. L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, has a new scheme for forecasting the weather. The plan is to study storm condit ions in the upper regions by a series of experiments with balloons. The chief purpose of this plan is to ascertain whether the great storms of 500 to 1,000 miles in diameter originate in the upper region, and to determine also whether the very inception of the storm can not be seen and foretold about three days in advance of its coming. Judge Hubbard has rendered an opinion in the new court house matter which would seem to place an embargo upon proceedings for the present. His opinion is to the effect that, the contract let to Camplield & Co. is illegal on the grounds that the commissioners had no right to substitute material other than that named in the specifications on the day of awarding the contract, and that the bid of Cam pfield & Co. not complying with the plansand specifications was therefore an illegal one. John Wesley gave some most excellent advice when he said: “Condemn no man for not thinking as you think. Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking for himself. Let every man use his own judgment, since every man must give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach in any kind of degree, to the spirit of persecution. If you cannot reason or persuade a man into truth, never attempt to force a man into it. If love w ill not compel him to come, leave him to God, t he judge of all.” Debs says the day of strikes is past. It is a pity that he and others like him did not come to that conclusion before they were the cause of throwing thousands of working men out of good positions, blockading the traffic of the country for many days, endangering the lives of peaceable citizens and destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. Yes, Mr. Debs ought to be convinced that strikes are not the thing, that fanaticism and fire-eating will do the cause of labor no permanent good.

Secretary Carlisle believes that the , whole issue of legal tender greenbacks should be retired at once. In his New York speech the secretary referred to [ this feature of our currency system as । follows: “The circulation has a tendency to drive out of use and out of j the country the very coin in which the » government is compelled to redeem . them, and it has expelled millions of dollars from our borders. Although the government and our own people 1 are compelled to receive them, they will not discharge international ob- • ligations and gold must go out to set- ' tie all final balances against us. No ■ other government in the world is required to supply gold from its treasury to discharge the private obligations of its citizens.”

Independent Newspapers The held for American journalism is filled to overflowing with partisan organs, Democratic and Republican, which are supporters and defenders rather of their respective parties and its leaders than of its principles, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The political organ is known by its ready leap into the breech to uphold its party banner in any cause, for any leader, good or bad. 'Die genuine political organ’s mission is to make that which is black appear white, if done by its own party and that which is white appear black, if done by the opposition. The wise, fair presentation of political principles, their manful maintenance is no part of the real organ’s work; it has but one maxim for its guidance, which is, The Party, Right or Wrong. The best political educators at present are the independent newspapers which, without prejudice and in all possible fairness, present to their readers the actual condition of

J politics, and honestly comment upon I it and acts of the leaders. But they t would be greatly assisted in the edur cational work they are doing if the partisan press of eit her party were to discuss public affairs on the basis of , principle and with dignity of treatmeat. For the reason that, with rare । exceptions, all Americans read the newspaper, the newspaper should be wisely and honestly written. Foster’s Forecast.
