Cheap Literature.

1t is question well worthy of inves-
tigation whether in this day of multi
tude of cheap books the great mass of
the people are as well informed as they
were when books and papers were not
so general. Almost any kind of reading
can be obtained now at mere nominal
cost. and most of us are tempted to
skim over too large a surface, and TINS
become superficial and do not derive the
benefit we would, had we fewer books
and devoted our time for reading to
more thorough study of the subject at
hand. Perhaps the people read more
than they did half century ago, but
we fear it IS too much the case that the
serious habit of reading which charac-
teriZed our fathers has been lost IN the
furOr after many books and the custom
of depending largely on the newspapers
! for our general information. There is
an over production of what is in these
modern days called literature, and what
has become SO common is apt to be
sighted. Young people who are in
these days turned out Of high schools
and colleges have but very little general
knowledge of the best literature. BE
ware of the man of one book" is an old
adage, but in these days we come in
contact with but few of this class to
avoid. Reading to any good purpose
requires determination and patience.
This habit of reading is certainly not
cultivated by reading the daily papers,
nor by the swift running over of the
latest novel. There is any amount of
reading done, and everybody some
thing, but the habit is a growing one to
1 depend for information on the gossip of
so called literary clubs and social organ
/ iZatiOns and lectures. The Bible and
| Shakespeare and Bunyan, even those
once popular and delightful treatises on
philosophy and science by Dick, are now
all superseded by the gauZy and super
fcial works of fiction and speculation
that are to be bought for song, and in
stead of being treasured and re-read,
are thrown away as soon as they have
! been carelessly read.

False Political Economy.

While the public and high schools of
this country are doing good work in lay
ing the foundations of education, it
must be admitted that many of our col
leges and universities have for years
past taught our young men much which
has been only damage to the practical
duties of life and society.
Much of the political economy taught
in the great institutions of this country
has been contrary to true Americanism,
and is wrong both in theory and prac-
tice. The term, political economy, has
wide bearing and covers nearly every
thing there is in education.
But the political economy that has
been taught in most schools and the text
books used, have only resulted in social
ism and communism because of their
theory of letting alone anything which
has to do with practical industry. In
stead of following the teachings of
practical students who have made the
social economies of our own land their
persistent and intelligent study, the
great universities of the United States
adopt the text books and teach the the
cries of aristocratic foreigners whose
every idea is antagonistic to American
progress.
The result has been that the educated
men and college bred students are al
most always theoretical instead of prac-
tical. Their intellectual training has
turned their minds away from produc-
tive industry rather than towards any jul
dicious plan for furthering it. This kind
of education has tended TO eXalt the pro-
fession and degrade the mechanic, TO
elevate the teacher, the book keeper, the
clerk, and make distasteful in public es-
timation the occupation of plowing,
pounding the anvil and herding cattle.
The study of political economy which
will elevate labor, improve agriculture
and benefit the mechanic, which will in
spire the young man to devote his abili-
ties to expanding the almost illimitable
capabilities of the soil, instead of i'm
agining that the highest ambition of an
American citizen is to swarm around
the state capitols and beg for Office, will
be vast improvement on the plans of
education which have so long prevailed

Billiard Contest.

The match billiard game Of 400 points
between Prof Meyer and Ora Morning
star, took place at the billiard parlor of
Zinn Il Y Dung, Wednesday evening last.
y large number gathered to see the
game, which commenced promptly at
$50. While greater number thought
Meyer would win the game easy, he was
defeated by lis points. Eighty-five in
ningS were played and the score at the
end of the game stood 401 to 283, in ia
vOr of MOrningstar.
There is no doubt that Prof. Meyer
did not play the game he is noted for,
and yet while it is conceded that he is a
good billiard player, Ora MOrningster
plays a more brilliant game, making
difficult shots and more apt scholar at
nursing" his balls, and gaining good
positions. The largest run of the even
ing was 10 points made by Morningstar,
which elected hearty applause. Hon
OrS were divided with each of the gen
tlemen on brilliant plays, although
Meyer did not take chances that his OPP
ponent did on some very difficult shots.
We intended to publish the score in
full, but owing to the lateness of the
game we are compelled to omit the

Worth Considering.

The following communication in last
weeks Goshen Democrat, so completely
fills the want of our city, toward which
the efforts of number of our young men
are put forth, that we reproduce it as it
appeared:
The recent Y. NJ. c. A. convention in
this city has left an impression among
the young men of the town, and set
forth the advantages to be derived from
the organization of an association In
our midst. To the casual observer it
seems that nothing would contribute
more to the ultimate bettering of the
Young men of Goshen, the cleansing Of
society and sustain the reputation of
the city more than the establishment
of place where the young men of our
city who are, by force of circumstances,
compelled to frequent resorts of ques-
tiOnable character, could gather to-
gether and pass the hours in indulging
in recreation and study of a beneficial
and ennobling character. Many cheer
less room In a boarding house has COM
PEELED its occupant to seek companion
ship with the loafers on the street
corner, when possibly his inclination is
to spend his time in thoughtful study
of some entertaining book provided in
the buildings of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, but which desire is
denied him by reason of the absence of
such a place. Reading rooms have
been started in Goshen, clubs have been
organized and secret societies have pro-
vided rooms in which the members may
spend their spare hours profitably. But
to many young men this privilege is
denied for want of the necessary funds
to carry on the expenses of the club. A
Y. M. c. A. building, if properly con-
Quoted in this city, could certainly be
maintained as well as the one in our
sister city of Elkhart. The association
of that city has grown from small be-
ginning to one of the fixed institutions
of the town and its abandonment or re-
moval would not be countenanced for a
second. Why cannot some one who has
the public spiritedness to 60 ahead,
start the movement for Goshen. and
keep the ball rolling until Goshen can
lay claim to the ownership of one of the
most substantial and successful Young
Mems Christian Associations in Indi-
ana?

Fourth of July.

The great national holiday will soon
be upon us. Are we going to celebrate
this event in befitting manner? is a
question that we have heard several
times upon our streets. 1t is truly an
important feature and should be agi-
tated at once. A city like Plymouth,
and the county seat, should be the first
in the field for honors along this line.
Let us celebrate this natal day in a
manner worthy of our advancement,
and not only afford day of pleasuse
for those living near us, but give our
city an opportunity to show off her
beauty to visiting thousands.

A FEW IMPROVEMENTS.
Those Seen by an Independent Re
norter.-and Others Needed.

Believing that the greater number of
our citizens are not aware of the num-
erous Improvements that have been
in progress this spring, reporter of the
INDEPENDENT started out Thursday
morning in company with Mr.. W. f.
Young as a guide, to discover what new
Improvements were in progress, or what
had been completed. Deciding to give
this in installments, we first tackled the
West side. Starting out from the cor
ner of CAIRO and Michigan street, west,
we first come in contact with force of
men at work putting in position new
sidewalk in front of Judge j. ID. Nc
Larens residence. At the corner of
Center and CAIRO we could see to the
south between CAIRO and La Porte
streets the foundation oftwo large store
buildings under course of construction
by Mr.. John Wolford. This will be a
two story structure.
Proceeding a short distance we saw
where the work on the new Swindell
Bros. large Produce warehouse was
moving along rapidly. This will be a
brick structure three stories and a base
ment composing the building. The
foundation will be completed in a few
days, when the work on the walls will
be pushed. This building is located on
the corner of CAIRO and Walnut streets.
On the corner of CAIRO and Washing
ton streets, we see the old red mill, a
land mark known to our old residents
of some Importance 1t was here that
the great Novelty Works first saw the
light of commercial life. A bud that
has blossomed into one of the largest in
dustries in Northern Indiana. At this
time great deal of machinery used by
the above mentioned institution still re-
mains. Now let some other industry
take advantage of this location, which
has the rusty old horse shoe of "good
luck" nailed over the door, and grow up
among us.
Crossing the L. E. & w. track we see
the good work done by our city in the
graveling of West CAIRO street. This
has placed this street in excellent con-
dition to Fifth street.
We note that Jack Sullivan has added
a new addition to his residence, which
will give more needed room.
John Clapp has done, and is doin G,
considerable for this part of the city
Ills new residence nearly completed on
the corner of CAIRO and Fifth streets,
while on the south side of the street tw o
more commodious one and half story
houses will soon be ready for occupancy.
Going south to the railroad on Fifth
street we see the new foundry which
will add great deal to the advancing
enterprises of Plymouth.
Looking south we saw the old Mar
tindale residence on wheels, being moved
for the purpose of giving room for a
more pretentious residence on Center
street. Mr.. Wolford will remodel the
old house for tenant purposes.

Band Concert,

If there is feature to be encouraged
it is that of home entertainments, and
especially do we feel like urging upon
our citizens their duty along this line,
when our band-boys are endeavoring to
deserve their support. The Plymouth
Brass Band will give an entertainment
at the Opera House, May 14th, and it
behooves everybody to attend the same.
The question of its completeness need
not be taken into consideration, as the
reputation earned by them upon former

About Feb. l, Mrs. Olive Smalley was
taken i'll with symptoms of la grippe
and bowel trouble. The disease not
yielding to treatment, the attending
physician desired a consultation and
both physicians feared there was a
tuburcular trouble existing. One be-
lieyed the bowels were the most serious
affected, while the other feared the
lungs. She seemed to rally for short
time and hopes for her to increase in
strength SO as to be able to stand a
journey to Mr.. Smalley's home in the
Vermont mountains, were expressed,
hoping she would receive material ben
eft from change of climate. She in

gave some encouragement. About two
weeks ago she went to her old family
physician and was under his care until
her death.

Impressive Service Attended by Many
Friends Of Deceased.
The funeral Of the late Mrs. c.
NJ. Walton took place from the
home Of Mrs. Angus on Richards
street at 3 o'clock Thursday alter
noon and was largely attended.
Rev. ID. p. Birnie officiated. The
floral offerings were among the
most beautiful seen in Honolulu in
a long time. They were in all
shapes, delicately entwined and
deliberately arranged in large
pieces, and in abundance. A spe-
cial offering was orchids of ferns,
rarely seen anywhere save where
these delicately plants abound.
The offering of large business
house was specially beautiful and
attracted great deal OF attention.
The funeral ceremony was very
impressive. Most of it was carried
out upon the prior dictation OF the
deceased, who. by the way was per,
fectly resigned to death, content in
bearing the inevitable. By request
Miss Lishman sang two solos: Pre-,
cious Promise" and "He Wipes the
