sl)e independent. WALKERTON. INDIANA. NOV. 30, 1895. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The people of Hawaii are reviving the annexation question and will send another commission to the United States in December to place the matter before congress. President Dole will probably be one of the commission. Governor Matthews strongly sympathizes with the struggling Cubans, and believes that this country should formally recognize them as belligerents. The governor is recognized as a man who is all solid on a great many things. Speaking of the gold withdrawals for exports of $2,250,000, Dun’s Commercial Agency’s report, said on Saturday: “There was and is a substantial cause of difficulty in the fact that exports of products have been too small to meet the greatly increased imports of merchandise.” The body of General Hancock is to be removed from Norristown, Pa., where it has rested since 1886, to Arlington cemetery, where lie many of the brave of our country. A project is also on foot to erect a monument to General Hancock on one of the public squares in Washington. It is but lilting that the memory of this gallant soldier should be thus honored. Some of our public men think that this country would be violating international law to recognize Cuba as a belligerent power at the present time. They would let some small technicality be a barrier to our recognizing the justness of the cause for which that country is struggling. Kats! Away with such red tape I Had France been swayed by such small matters this country would no doubt still be under the British yoke. If all men would stop and consider the extent and degree of radicalism manifested in this world, there would be speedy and needed reformation in this line. It is not difficult for us to see the over-prevalence of this measly disorder in our fellows, but when it comes to seeing its hideousness in ourselves, we are amazingly weak and poor-sighted. There is a sharp distinction between earnestness and radicalism, yet but few people note the dividing line as they p >BB from the former to the latter.—Brownsburg Rocord. The New' Albany Tribune, edited by General Jasper Packard, announces its preference for Major Doxey, of Anderson, for governor. The Tribune is for the old soldier. On this point it says: “We determined, and we shall stand by it, that as between the thoroughly competent man who was a soldier and the thoroughly competent man who was not a soldier, the soldier shall have our preference. And as between two soldiers equally competent, the one who has the best record for battle and scars shall be our choiceAnd therefore, while we shall make no factious opposition to any, our personal support will be given to Maj. C. T. Doxey, of Anderson.” Newspaper men are not morbid or especially dissatisfied with their lot, but it may safely be said that ninetenths of them outside of the large cities, if they would begin life over again would avoid a printing office as they would a pestilence, says the New Albany Tribune. They see and come in contact with more petty meanness than anybody else; they are swindled oftener, ten to one, than anybody else; they are plucked oftener, even by well ' meaning people than anybody else; I even those who pray, often times prey | upon the newspaper man. Appreciation for him as compared with what he does in and for a community is reduced usually to the vanishing point and accompanies his income into a limbo of nothingness. In addition to his capability as a writer, when he possesses if, he must be a careful, painstaking and judicious business man and yet few people ever think of him in that light at all. He is expected to do with his paper a thousand things, that as a business man he knows would be fatal and when he mildly declines, people want to know what a newspaper is for. They never suspect that it has a business end which, if neglected, will bring collapse. But there are compensations for all the disagreeable things, and one of them is that the worthy newspaper man finds himself associated with a body of intelligent, upright and honorable men, whom it is usually a pleasure to know.

Tricks and treachery are the prac- * tice of fools that have not wit enough = to be honest.—Franklin. Congress will have a kind word for Cuba, and possibly something else, or it will fail to represent the America > people.—lnter Ocean. K The thoroughly great men are those who have done everything thoroughly, 1 and who have neverdespised anything, 8 however small, of God’s making.— 1 Russell. It is reported that the big natural gas well at Windfall, Ind., has gone ■ dry. This may be a forerunner of > what may happen in some other por- । tions of the gas region in the course of time. Daniel McDonald, editor of the Plymouth Democrat, has announced his independence of party platforms and will hereafter support such men and measures as may commend themselves • to his conscience and best judgement. 1 He is an ardent advocate of free silver - at a ratio of 16 to 1 and will reserve 1 the right to support the ca ndidates who represent that side of the financial question, independent of party dictation. The new position taken by Mr. McDonald, who is one of the democratic wheel horses of northern Indiana, Is attracting a great deal of attention and comment from the press. Eugene Debs, who was recently released from Woodstock jail, is receiving great ovations from laboring or--1 ganizations. He seems to be a prime • favorite among them. That Debs is honest and sincere in his devotion to the cause of the laboring classes there can be no doubt. But his fanaticism is an injury to the cause he Is espousing. If he could be earnest without , being radical he might be a great factor t in promoting the cause of labor. He , sees dimly the rights of the general ( people as compared with those of cer- } tain classes of laboring people. But . Debs, notwithstanding this, is honest and sincere, and he is receiving too much abuse from certain papers. And • again there are papers that are giving । him a great deal of undeserved laudation. In his speech on Cuban independence Governor Matthews said: There is a moral encouragement in a sympathy thus poured out, while it may give no physical aid, which conflicts not with the cold technicalities of international law—ln itself but arbitrary and legal fiction—nor the hampering restriction of treaty obligations. It carries to the heart of the oppressed the assurance that oppression is wrong; that tyranny is of the past, that the freedom of mankind is of the present and the future; and that the cause of man’s wrongs is a universal cause and of eternal justice. And the same God who gave His bless'ng to us in the darkest hour of our nation’s trials will continue to smile upon the aspirations of His children in whatever land, to be free—for the cause of human freedom is the cause of Christian civilization. Mayor Taggart, of Indianapolis, takes a very positive attitude towards gambling. He says: “No gambling will be permitted in this city while I am mayor, and the sooner the gamblers realize this the better it will be for them. They might as well understand now that I mean what I say. Every gambling game that is started will be raided, and there can be none without the police finding it. This is not a question of politics. It is a case of right, of obeying the laws and humanity. This law will be rigidly enforced for the protection of the wives, mothers and sisters. It is for the protection of the young men and boys of this city, for it is a notorious fact that । more young men have been led estray I through gambling than from any i other cause. 'LTre matter is settled.” Moses Kimmel, of Huntington county, this state, has bought 500 acres of marsh land, located near the Free bridge, of D. M. Best. The sale was made through the Kankakee Valley Land Company, of this place. The consideration was SIO,OOO. Mr. Kimmel has located on his land and will begin improvements at once. Our Thanksgiving Sermon J. V. Steger, a Chicago philanthroi pist, gave food to about 5,000 poor people in that city on Thanksgiving , day. It is the custom of this noble man to dispense cheer andalms among the poor on every Thanksgiving day. The gospel of good deeds, not of words merely, is his rule of conduct. And what a grand gospel it is! The world needs more of it. Men like Mr. Steger make the world better for having lived in it. Characters like his shine resplendent and give one a renewal of faith in the genuine goodness of men. •

Speaking of the proposed exposition । in Indiana the New Albany Tribune says: “A few, say one or two, or possibly three or four Indiana newspapers are hostile to the enterprise of holding an Exposition in this state in 1 1900. We think they have failed to look at the subject in that broad spirit > commensurate with the greatness of the state and its future possibilities. ( Indiana has an opportunity in this to place herself in the very front rank of the states of the Union. Let us all help.” । , MILES’ NERVE & LIVER FILLS Act on a new principle—regulating the liver, stomach and bowels through the nerves. A new discovery.

-======= Edison believes that he can solve the problem of air ships either by using balloons or aeroplanes; but, to use his own words: “I would construct act- ' mil ships of the air—yachts, schooners, , and brigantines—which would tack and jibe and sail before the wind. My idea is that the lifting power of these ships should began stored in the sails. I would construct gas bags shaped like ( the sails of a yacht.” A Prominent Lawyer L J Os Greenville, Hl , Mr. C. E. Cook, writes; “I have been troubled with biliiousness, sick headache, sour stomach, constipation, etc , for several years. I "ought long and tried many remedies, but was disappointed until I tried your Syrup Pepsin. I can cheerfully recommend it to any suffering from above complaints.” Sold by / Bellinger & Williams.
