THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

From this time until after the Presi-
dental election next fall the rubbish
that will be offered as the current news
of the day by the partisan press of the
country is something appalling to con-
slider in cold blood. The actions of pub
lie men, the estimates of public measures
and the drift of public sentiment will be
80 colored by the different parties
that the man who reads only the
political newspapers of either side
will have but an imperfect idea
of the actual situation. Your orthodox
political newspaper would about as soon
flop over to the support of the candidate
of the opposite party as to admit for one
moment that there was the slightest
doubts of the success of any of the NOM
inees of its own party, no matter how
desperate and hopeless it might pri-
vately believe the case to be. The result
Is that the man who reads and
religiously believes his own party
organ not only is constantly mis-
led in his political views but is being
continually deceived as to matters of
fact that he is entitled to know. II
seems to us that there can never be a
time when the advantages of an inde-
pendent newspaper become more appar-
ent than when an exciting Presidential
election is going on. Then, if ever, men
want to know the facts and all the facts.
1t is true some people desire to have
their opinions made up for them, but in
this country, with the spread of excel
lent schools, this class Of persons is grow
ing constantly less and men of whatev-
er political bias like to know the truth
of things and make up their opinions
to suit themselves.

Ohio Looming Up.
[St. Louis Post Dispatch.l

Small causes often have great effect.
Yesterdays election in Indiana makes,
no doubt unintentionally, Ohio the most
interesting and influential State in the
Union. The adoption of the Constitu-
tional amendments removes indiana
from the States that have elections in
October Of the Presidential year. In
diana will have no election until Novem-
ber-like all the other States except
Ohio.
Up to 1872 Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana voted in October. Their influ-
ence upon the following November cleo
ton was tremendous almost decisive
and absolute. After that Pennsylvania 8
new Constitution abolished the election
in October. Now Indiana follows the ex-
ample. Ohio is now the only October
State. If the Democrats can carry Ohio
in October the election in November will
be mere form.

has recently reported that neither is en-
titled to seat in the House.
This action throws the matter back
for the people of Minnesota to send one
or the other or some new man to repre-
sent them in that body. The popularity
of the situation is that Minnesota has
three members in the House of Repre-
sentauives, and while Washburn was
recognized as such two Of these
were Republicans and one Demo-
cratic. This in case that the
next election for President should,
from any cause, be thrown into the
House, as is among the possibilities,
would enable the two Republican men,
bers to cast the vote of Minnesota in
favor of a Republican for President.
The unseating of Washburn leaves the
delegation from that State with one Re-
publican and one Democratic member.
Should Republican be elected to Con-
gress, the delegation from that State will
continue to have majority for that
party, while on the other hand, in case
the Democrats capture it, the boot will
be on the other leg.
There being thirty eight States in the
Union, twenty constitute majority.
The State Delegations now stand'

Indiana: Democrats 6 Republicans and

Minnesota Democrat and Republican. Il
If the Republicans carry the Mime
sofa district, thereby securing two Rep
resentatives of that political faith, they
will have 10 States, the Democrats Is
and one, Indiana, equally divided with
De La Matyr in position to throw the
State at pleasure in favor of the Repub-
licans or the Democrats. If in favor of
the Republican party it would give them
20 States and enable them to elect their
candidate should the election come be-
fore the House. If in favor of the Demo-
Gratis it would tie the vote by States. 1t
appears therefore that in possible contin-
gencies Mr.. De La Matyr, of Indiana,
may have the casting vote which is to
decide the next Presidency.

FORNEy's LIFE OF GEN HAN.
COCK. 1t is d singular fact that
the most eulogiStic aud exhaus
tive campaign biography of Gen.
Hancock should be written by
one whose pen and tongue for
years have done the most signal
service for the Republican party.
Col. John W. Forney of PhiIadel
dhia, whose reputation as a graz, ,
ful and forcible writer and man
OF letters, is so we'll known both
in this country and Europe. a pet
OF republican administrations.
and most of the time ali office no!
der for 20 years, has not not only
severed his connection with the
Garfield crowd, but has thrown
all his ability and enthusiasm Into
the campaign for the Democratic
candidate. The important service
OF which is a full and exhaustive
life OF Gen. Hancock. 1t is destin
Ell to rank high as a campaign
biography. Though different in
politics, the author and the sub
ject have been intimate lifelong
friends, aud hence Coz. Forney
has personal knowledge Of most
OF the brilliant achievements of
Gen. Hancock and Of all the cir
cnmstances connected with them.
Added to this, Gen. Hancock has
SO approved his work as to place
at his disposal his personal memo
randa, correspondence, official
anu private papers. With such ia
cllilies the work will be absolute
ly full and authentic, the stand
ard on the subject.
AS biographer, Col. Forney
will be to Gen. Hancock wnit Bos
well was to johnson, Lockha,t TO
Walter Scott, or ABBOTT to Bona
parte. 1t is IL Labor of Love-"
actuated by a grand enthusiasm
and carried out with a degree of
ability and grace that will place
1t III the front rank OF American
biographies.
The career of the brilliant SOL
t'ler with an army record extend
Ing through 30 years, is worthy
OF such a pen. 1t is full of event
and Is soon to be crowned by the
more Important O. nof a transfer
to the Win Hou which will
make the book one OF permanent
value. 1t will be sold by sabscriD
tions and will surely meet with a
large sale.
