®lje Jnbcpciibcnt. Walkerton, Ind., July 4, 1896. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. An earthquake killed 30,000 people in Japan a few daysago, so it is reported. It is understood that neither Major McKinley nor his running mate, Garrett A. Hobart, will make any speech making tours during the campaign. P. F. Milles, of Milford, and Editor J. B. Stoll, of the South Bend Times, will represent this congressional district as delegates to the democratic national convention in Chicago J uly 7. Starke county was handsomely recog nized at the democratic state convention at Indianapolis, William Sinclair, of Knox, who has been superintendent of the Starke county schools for several years, being- nominated for superintendent of public instruction. People who have a craving for reading scandals should not expect to find such matter in a clean local newspaper. If they must have such reading, and can’t get along without it, they should subscribe for a sheet of the pink tinted, illustrated variety. A delegation of leading manufacturers and business men of the United States have departed on a journey to South America. The object of their trip is to stimulate reciprocal trade relations between this country and South America, whose vast resources afford such a magnificent field for the development of great commercial enterprises. The notification committee visited Major McKinley at Canton, 0., this week to break the news to him of his nomi nation for president. It is believed that the Major suspected something of the kind, as he received the news very calmly and delivered a fine little speech of acceptance which had evidently been prepared for the occasion. Hon. B.F. Shively, democratic nominee for governor of Indiana, and representative in congress from the Thirteenth district four consecutive terms, will make it very interesting for the opposition in the coming campaign. Shively's great strength is on the stump, and he will put up a campaign for your life. Whether elected or not, he will make a record in his canvas of the state which will be creditable alike to himself and to his party. Gen. Porfirio Diaz has again been nominated as a candidate for the office of president of Mexico. He is a man of commanding influence in the affairs of his country, and has been the leader in all the great movements for the past 20 years which have served to advance the Mexican republic to a prosperous and honored position among sister nations. Diaz is called the Father of his Country. He is a descendant of the ancient Aztecs. He has served as president of Mexico five consecutive terms, or 20 years next November, which will conclude his present term. The crop of candidates for the democratic presidential nomination seems to be in a thriving condition. The list of candidates now number 15. The latest name announced is that of Ex-Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon. The Oregon contingent think the claims of Pennoyer are good and they propose to lose no time in urging the claims of their favorite son. Up to date the list of candidates is as follows: Horace Boies, Iowa: Richard P. Bland, Missouri: J. C. S. Blackburn, Kentucky: W. E. Russell, Massachusetts; Ben Tillman, South Carolina; A. E. Stevenson, Illinois: Robert E. Pattison, Pennsylvania; Claude E. Matthews, Indiana; W. J. Stone, Missouri; W. C. Whitney, New York: W. J. Bryan, Nebraska; Henry M. Teller, Colorado; Roswell P. Flower, New York; Arthur P. Gorman, Maryland; Ex-Gov-Pennoyer, Oregon. Mayor Pingree's newspaper, the Eve rang Press, of Detroit, suspended after a brief existence of four months, says the National Printer-Journlist. When the paper was started it was stated that it would tell the truth and defend the rights of common people. Possibly the truth was not popular. Certain it is that the defenders of the rights of common people are as often starved, stoned, crucified or hung by the people whom they seek to serve, as rewarded. We read of One who so loved a city as to desire to gather its people under His loving, protecting influence, “even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings,” and they would none of him. They cried,“Away with Him! Crucify Him! Crucify!” The common people did this too, at the instigation of their oppressors. It has been thus in all ages and is the same to-day. Yet we do not wish to raise Mayor Pingree on a pedestal by the side of the Great Teacher and the benefactors who have become the great martyrs of the past; but only to speak words of consolation that may assuage the sorrow of all who try to serve the common people in the newspaper field and fail for lack of support. The failure of a newspaper is not pleasant, but it is not as bad as being stoned or hanged.

Harriet Beecher Stow*,- fc&tfiov of > Uncle Tom’s Cabin, died! 1 Tto wonderful novel had mofe- to do with " hastening the end of slavery than any other influence. The memory of Harriet Beecher Stowe will live' always, Hon. B. F. Shively is quoted NS say ing at Indianapolis last Week: "1 shall endeavor to speak in- Oeariy every 1 county in the state. I feel that we have ’ had a great convention. I have great r hopes of our carrying Indiana next t fall. The people seem to he With US ott , the money issue, and I shall ba disappointed if the free ail ver sentiment does not increase instead of diminish/’ I A general fight is being made i against the deadly cigarette all over I this land. The Logansport Chronicle wants that city to put a 81,000 license upon dealers and says; "Stand on a street corner any day of the week, and . you will notice hundreds of young dudes, slim of chest and long of hair, । smoking the villainous compound. What little brains they possess they send out in smoke. The woods are full of ‘evangelists’ seeking to destroy the saloon, but the saloon isn’t in it with the man who sells our callow kids their cigarettes.’’ There appears to be quite a boom growing in favor of Richard P. Bland, of Missouri, for the presidential nomination on the democratic ticket. Bland is one of the leaders in the free silver movement and he is gaining a large following from that element of the democratic party. Boies, of lowa, and Mathews, of Indiana, are prominent candidates for the nomination, but should the free silver sentiment control the convention the prospect for Bland would seem from present indications to be ahead of that of any of the other candidates now being talked of. But the mutability of politics renders the situation more or lees uncertain and there is no telling what turn events may take totween now and the time for holding the convention. Character is a “back number” in this country, a little* push and energy is all that is needed to be successful. Ex change. So far as push and energy are concerned those qualities are all right: they are essential to success. But char acter is the prime factor of a successful career. In fact, there can be no auecssu, in its broadest and best sense, without character. The man who hawaccvuKKlated his wealth by stealing, cheating, lying and other dishonorable methods can not i be called a success in the true sense. He is a failure. Men of true character- , of unimpeachable honesty,, are the >*ue» who move the world of commerce to-day,, and it will be found that eficueacter han been their best stock in trade. ft ww* - wise head who originated tile saying, “Honesty is the best policy/’ Men should be honest for honesty's awn sake. If they cannot be honest from priuei ciple they should strive to exiuxnse the good judgment to be so Sir the sake iff policy. The man who is true,.honest just and charitable is elierißhed hy right thinking men, and his success in life is assured if he use reasonable iudgmunc and economy in the management ff his affairs. Validity of the Nicholson LawThe substance of the supreme court decision, affirming the eonstitUtinnnUcy of the Nicholson law. is this: “The court holds that the remonstrance feature of I the law which the liquor peopledenounc- ; ed as virtual local option, is valid. Re- j monstrances must be special against ap- ; plieants and not general, but. signatures to remonstrances may not be withdrawn when the case has been submitted. The provision of the law, that liquor selling may not be carried on in the same room with other business, is held valid, as is also that which gives the county commissioners discretion to inquire into circumstances in passing on applications for license. The law as an entirety is upheld by thecourt. Judges Jordan and Hackney dissented from some of the views of the other three judges, but as to the constitutionality of the law as a whole the court is a unit.” Lake Manitou.
