County Superintendent Clem. The election of our esteemed fellowtownsman, William Clem, to the respon~sible position of county superintendent . of schools, is an honor worthily bestowed. eAR R e R Mr. Clem, although but 30 years of age, has had considerable practical experience in school work, having taught for about 11 years, both in the district and town schools, for the last three years serving as principal of the Walkerton schools in a most capable manner. This - experience, together with his education and natural qualifications, fits him adamirably for the position of county superintendent. Mr. Clem was born and reared near Walkerton and his character has always been such as to command respect. The new superintendent's early education received careful attention. After finishing the common branches he took advanced courses of instruction at the Mt. Morris, 111., College, and at Central Normal -college, - Danville, Ind., attending the former institution one year and the latter about ; three years, where he completed the - «ommercial and scientific courses. ! While our citizens are pleased to see ‘Mr. Clem promoted, yet they very much regret to lose him as a citizen and teach er, he having been appointed by the school board as principal of the Walkerton schools for the ensuing year. As yet his successor has not been appointed. Mr. Clem will qualify for the duties of his new office next week, but will not remove to South Bend for the present. AR U 5 MATTRIARTIIORS . The South Bend Tribune is 24 years old. e—— New York is just now making her sister cities turn green with envy because she is. about to have a 59-story building. The reported increase in the demand for American railway securities on the London exchange is taken as one of the thopeful signs of better times, T RSR WD The Indianapolis Journal says Tur key was the only European government that did not recognize the confederates as belligerents, which is the only good thing we ever heard of the perfidious Turk. Senator Gorman, who is regarded generally as being very accurate in his pre dictions about legislation, says that the senate will dispose of the tariff bill be fore June 20. Now paste this in your hat and see how close the senator comes o 0 hitting the mark in this instance. Cases of death from over-exertion in bicycling are of frequent occurrence over the country this season. The best medi<al authorities say that bicycling if indulged in moderately is beneficial exercise, but it isa much-abused pastime and no doubt harms more people than it benefits as it is now followed. TT TR LRO TN A writer in the Chicago Record gets a great deal of good, sound sense in the following few lines: “The revolt from the stern somberness of Puritanism was expected and, in a measure, to be desired. But in these days of the extreme of lightness and jesting, when uncleaness is a joke and perjury and theft are cleverness, we may well join in the prayer of him ~who desired that it should ‘rain puritan- ~ ism fora month.” | ‘ Japan doean’t like the increased dutyl on tea as proposed in the Dingley bill and talks of coming back at us by placing retaliatory duties on certain American goods. Japan is also getting a little fresh over the immigration question in Hawaii. Since they whipped poor, old, slow-going China the “Yankees of the East” have been suffering with an aggravated case of swelling of the head, of which they will get cured quickly if they go to getting gay with Hawaii, over which Uncle Sam is exercising a watchful eye. According to information which seems to be reliable President McKinley has decided upon hig policy regarding the Cuban trouble. He is determined that the war in Cuba shall cease, and the United States minister to Spain will be instructed to tender the friendly offices of this government toward terminating the hostilities in Cuba. Whether we have war with Spain or not, is wholly for Spain to decide. But the war in Cuba must cease in any event, so says the McKinley administration. It is plain to be seen that it is a useless war, and why should death and destruction be permitted to reign over the fair isle any longer? Uncle Sam should have something to say in the matter, as his interests are being seriously injured by the war.

Schlatter, the professed Messiah, died in Mexico recently. He was doubtless insane, but there were some who believed | Schlatter to be all that he claimed for | himself, The INDEPENDENT is in receipt of the ‘| jubilee number of the Chicago Tribune, {which marks the 50th anniversary of | that journal. Bro. Medill is giving the people of Chicago a good paper and his efforts are appreciated by the enterprising business men and citizens of that place, who are giving the paper a liberal gupport in the way of advertising, sub- 1 scriptions, ete. They know a good thing when they see it. The INDEPENDENT wishes the Tribune continued success.

REMEMBER, Some Suggestive Thoughts for Youny Men. Copyrighted by Nenmo, Remember that disappointments build the muscles of our character, much as walking strengthens our bodies. It is the things we have to struggle with that makes us men. Some few geniuses seem {able at a leap to accomplish what their hearts are set upon, but the vast majority of us attain our ambition only by stern purpose and unwavering. If the tide just drags us along we are as dead things or sticks; if we swim against it, we grow more and more in power. Welcome the north wind, my beloved; it is cruel to be kind: it would seem to wrest thy all from thee only to make thee hold on the faster. “Here's to the men wh lose! If triumph’s easy smile our . uggles greet, Courage is easy then; The king is he who, atter fierce defeat, Can ap and fight sgain.” Remember that he who goeth to ac complieh great things for himself or the world, needs not to be known to be weak and immoral in order (o lose his power of accomplishment; a wrong thing done need have no witnesses in order to undo a man. Yielding to a darling sin takes away the ability to be all you might be; not because your friends know you to be a doer of evil, but because you know vourself to be so, and the traitor within the citadel of your honor and purpose does not remain undiscovered, for the traitor is the professed defender. ’!a‘"‘% Reuu:;,} ver that I can safely go one \LLV‘\I‘ ©oner flnd nss(fl‘c t() .\'Ull \\‘!‘.l) think WA your number multiply —a still ¥ire ynoteworthy thing about yielding to a ‘houo rong cherished as a . to unnerve you without waiting for the deed to be done. Cardinal Newwman says very wisely and very beautifully: “But he who iets his thoughts run on In soft, luxurious flow, I'aints when hard service must be done And shrinks at every foe.” Remember that a spider dipped in ink can make scrawls across paper, that a dog can scratch earth, that a monkey can daub paint, but that the intelligence of a human being is necessary to gain meaning and profit and fame from any or all of these acts. Your sheep is a follower | of instir cts equally as much when mature | as it was when it frisked its restless tail and fled affrighted from moving objects. | Neither honor nor dishonor attaches to its life, save that it has been all it could be. But you are a man; born a creature of instinct, yet capable of becoming a creature of thought, whose use of life has within it the possibilities of shame or of esteem. If you merely follow your instincts, you are nothing better than an -animal, for it has done as it could, and vou have not. Be a man, dear fellow, and venerate yourself; then no matter how humble your lot in life, you will be a worthy comrade of those who through the patient ages have led us away from mere animalism. L.
