AT E————— Inihilists of Russia want the _!_, the ozar. A recent plot to ~ ,sinate the great ruler wrs almost _deessful. ‘They claim that promised reformshave not been granted. “This, in the inflamed imaginations of the nihilists, is ground sufficlent for resorting to violence and assassination. sAV RIS A Muriat Halsted believes there is a storm coming at no distant day. Trouble between the United States and Great Britain, he thinks, will be hard to avert. Some nomentous gquestions are to be settled, involving the primaey of the United States in the Americas. —————— Rev. Joseph Cook, the noted divine and lecturer, is broken down mentally and physieally. Too close application to study and lecturing are the eauses of his collapse. He has long occupied a conspicuous piace on the fecture platform and should his disabilities prove permanent America will be deprived of one of its very ablest. theologinna and lecturera. He SPAA Started ou a fecturing tour arownd the world but his health failing while fie was in Japan he was compelled to veturn to his home in Boston. RS SR PRI President Cleveiand has completed the work of appointing the Venezuglan commission, and his appointments are said to be excellent and to meet with general approbation among public men of all parties. The appointments consist of three republicans and two democrats. The presidenthas shown non-partisanship in his selection of the commission. The personnel of the commission is as follows: Associate Justice Brewer, Judge Alvey, Prof. Gilman, president of Johns Hopkins university, Andrew D. White, Frederick Coudert. Ex-Congressman Holman thinks that the probability of war between the United States and England is very remote. He is of the opinion that Great Britain would yield all of British Guiana before she would risk a war with the United Stat-s. Hel thinks & war wonld result in the utter annihilation of the British gov- | ernment, the subjugation and annexation of Canada and the independence of Ireland. Before the war concluded he thinks there would be a treaty of closer alliance hetween AIT e governments of the western hemisphere, and the United States would be recognized as the central power, with all the sister republics more or less dependent npon her. Senator Sherman, like many mnre} of our leading statesman, believes that | the acquisition of new territory by this\ government is inadvisable. On thisi question he expresses himself in his| 1186 w book as follows: “The events of} the future are beyond the vision of) enankind, but I hope that our penple‘ wiil be content with internal growth and avoid the complications of foreign acquisition. Our family of States is already large enough to create emrarrassment in the Senate, and a republie should not hold dependent proviunces or pessessions. Lvery new acquisition will create embarrassments. Canada and Mexico as independent ropublies will be more valuable to the Unfted States than if carved into additional States. The Union already embraces discordant elements enough without adding others. If my life is prolonged [ will do all I can to add to the strength and prosperity of the Unlted States, but nothing to extend ita limits or to add new dangers by acquisitions of foreign territory.”

e eye e R The Indianapolis News says thatthe | supreme court will hardly pass on the ‘ | validity of the Nicholson temperancs |, law for several months. Cases involving every section of the law have not yet renched the court. It has been the hope of the attorney-general that all the cases might be bunched, and one decision, covering all the points, seoured. —— ' Judge Hubbard has decided his infunction on the new court house proceedings to be permanent and all present contracts are therefore de|clared offt. A new beginning will |kave toe be made. Rush & Co. got | their $7,000 for drawing plans, which may or may not be adopted, and that's all that has been accomplished thus |far towards building & new court house for St. Joseph county. ‘ RS AL TS SRR AATS Itis said t!;;{QuoeuAﬁ&orjA is much | incensed at the course of Lord Seiisets T TR T e e LY n pute.

The wiser heads in Great Britain do not want « war with the United States, but that is what will happen unless England withdraws her claim to Venezuelan territory. The Prince of Wales has over his own signature expressed himself strongly in favor of a pencenble adjustment of the existing controversy.—South Bend Times. R AP TR A Chiengo girl of 15 committed suicide for unrequited love. At a time when zhe onght to have been playing tag and riding her bicycle, unconscions of any masculine creatures other than her father and brothers, this weak minded child kills herself for “love.” The eause can nndoubtedly be traced to sloppy, wretched, sentimental novels the girl of today doses herself with. The sentimentul novel does more harm to girls than all the lurid dime novels in the world ever did to boys. If either kind of novel could be abolished it should be, fist, of all, the silly, moony novel that girls dote on and boys despise, greatly to the credit of the boys.—Ex. The new ennmeration blanks have been sent to the school trustees of the state. The new enumeration law provides that the enumeration shall be taken betw and 20th of Amlmwe substance of the law is as follows: Each enumerator must take oath to do his work accurately. ‘T'he enumerator is also required to list the names of parents or guardians and in cities he must give the number and street at which the child lives. Any enumerator who shall knowingly enumerate persons not entitled to be enumerated and who shall in any manner add or take from the number actually enumerated shall be deemed guilty of =« misdemeanor for which the fine is from §5 to $lO to which may be added imprisonment. B e—- — Rev. Dr. Sunderland, of Washington, says that the principle of urbitration is at stake in the Venezuelan contention. To quote his exact words: | “Men who are more far seeing than I ‘ predict that there will be no war, and surely it must be the prayer of every ; right-minded man that peace should ’ prevail, as it seems to me the prineciple | of arbitration is here most of all utl stuke. The Monroe doetrine is & mere incident in the present case. A strong power is In controversy with a mueh weaker one on a boundary question and refuses to submit the issue to arbitration. In sucha course, if this be the case in the present instance, the stronger power puts itself by its own Act out of the pale of “peaceand good- { will toward men,” and resolves to take bydorcewhatever 1t ¢an withont re. gard to the peace sentiment of all the rest of the world, and so becomes the common enemy of mankiud.” ———— The dawn of a new year moves the ‘ | editor of the Lalorte Herald to de-‘ }liver the following little sermon: | i“'l‘he last leaf of 1895 ecalendar was ; \torn off Tuesday, a blank stares you in 2 iLh(‘, face. As you look you fall into a E |reverie and thought after thought | flits through your mind.
