<lje Independent. Walkerton, Ind., June 27, 1896. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. She supreme court has sustained the Nicholson law. A dispatch from New York states that the prices of hard coal has been advanced 25 cents a ton. The rise is to take immediate effect all over the country- —— D. A. Fawcett, formerly editor of the LaGrange Register, turns out to be a dirty rascal. A few weeks ago he left I LaGrange, Ind., suddenly, leaving many debts unpaid. He has since been heard ■ of at St Charles, Mo., where he has been eutrsmitting more of his dishonorable acts. The free silver element was largely dominant in the democratic state convention at Indianapolis. It is said that about 75 per cent of the delegates present championed the cause of the white metal. The Ohio democrats also declared out and out for free silver at their state convention. “Bradstreet’s” shows by reliable statistics that of every 100 men who start in business, 46 fail utterly, 50 barely make a. living, 4 accumulating more or less Biches. Farmers complain as much as any, but more of them succeed than is the case in other vocations, though fewer become exceptionally rich. At the democratic state convention Ex-Congressman B. F. Shively was nominated for governor by a majority which was practically unanimous. His only opponent was Ex-Congressman George W. Cooper, who received 103 votes, while Shively received 1674. John C. Lawler, of Tippecanoe county, was nominated for lieutenant-governor. The convention was very enthusiastic and overwhelmingly for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1.

To a St. Louis interviewer Congressman Royse of Warsaw sizes up the political situation in Indiana as follows: I do not expect that every democrat who voted the republican ticket in 1894 will do so this year. I found evidence that those who did will return to their party on account of the silver issue, on which they expect al6to 1 declaration. But for every one of such, and for every republican devoted to the 16-to-l idea, that will vote the democratic ticket, I have two or three sound money democrata who will leave their party if the 16-to-l idea dbminates the Chicago convention. Therefore I believe Indiana will go republican this year by as large a majority as.in 1894, and the congressional delegation in the fifty-fifth congress will be as solidly republican as it is now.” The Indianapolis Independent says •‘Uncle Dick” Thompson, after pulling in harness fifty years without showing the slightest restlessness, showed a disposition to kick over the traces at St. Louis for the first time in his life. Not only did he cause a row over the selection of Fairbanks as chairman, but he denounced the platform and declared shat it would cause the party to lose the election. Coming as it did from the “♦old man eloquent,” these quiet actions eaused a sensation, as your Uncle Richard was the last man that anybody expected to kick on the doings of a republican convention. A veteran of 87 years jnd a charter member of the party, in the role of the “frisky” colt was well calculated to amaze the steady-going war-horses. Evidently the old gentleman is not past the period for feeling his oats. An Ugly Habit. The disposition to criticise and find fault is probably cultivated with more assiduity in village life than elsewhere. Almost everybody feels inclined to devote a share of time to the improvement of the “other fellow’s” way of doing things. Little faults are magnified, carping criticism takes the place of helpful suggestion, and much that is really commendable in many persons is entirely overlooked by those who seemingly posses the faculty of looking only through the wrong end of the glass. In speaking of this trait, Ruth Ashmore in Ladies Home Journal very sensibly says: Do not drift into the critical habit. Have an opinion and a sensible one, about everything, but when you come to judge people remember that you see very little of what they really are unless vou winter and summer with them. Find the kindly, lovable nature of the wan who knows little of books. Look for the beautiful self-sacrifice made daily by some woman who knows nothing about pictures, and teach yourself day in and day out to look for the best in everything’. It is the everyday joys and sorrows, my dear girl, that go to make up life. It is not the one. great sorrow, nor the one intense joy; it is the accumulation of the little ones that constitute living. So do not be critical of She little faults, and do be quick to find ^he little virtues and to praise them. So much that is good in people dies for want of encouragement. As I said before, have an opinion, and a well-thought-»ut one, about everything that comes into your life, but do not have too many opinions about people. Their hearts are not open books, and as you may be judged yourself some day, give them the kindest judgment now.

The Foresters. Court Eventide No. 38, United Order of Foresters, initiated two candidates in. to the secrets of the order Wednesday evening.
