they were increasing the salaries of the
village officials, they should surely have
given the clerk larger slice than was
offered him. His position and work
surely entities him to as much consider
alton as the mayor. The work he has
to is laboriouS. and the accurate keeping
of the records are deserving of a good
recOmpence.

the present administrative entered the

The Salary Grab.

In last weeks Democrat appeared
quite an extended article regarding the
republican members of the council, in
which they are roundly scored for going
contrary to the assertions made before
their election. As the INDEPENDENT
has not been in Plymouth a sufficient
length of time to ascertain the mode Of
conducting the municipal affairs, it
does not feel called upon at this time to
take radical steps toward cutting and
slashing those who were elected to Office
before we became citizen of this place.
Whatever may be the existing cir
cumstances connected with this in
crease of salary, taking other places the
size of Plymouth in comparison, it
seems to us the salaries received by the
councilmen and mayor of our village
were sufficient for the time employed
in transacting the towns business.
Economy is necessity when taking
the amount of taxes levied each year to
run the municipal government. While

NoE-partisanism.

Every day shows clearer the necessity
and need of our city affairs being ad-
ministered by non-partisan officials
While we believe in the policy of polit.
ical line of action, in town, county. state
and national affairs, we are not In favor
of political bossism in village govern
ment. y citizen of any city, be he re.
publican, democrat, or affiliate with any
other party in national affairs, should
be liberal enough to attend to his of
ticlal duties as mayor or councilman
in such manner as to not SAVIOR OF
politics. And a man elected to such an
office by the people. who has the man
hood and stamina to step out from
under the party lash, yielded in most
instances, by the party organs, should
not only be admired, but receive the
hearty concentrations of those citizens
who are deeply interested in a nOn-par
tisan home government
And until the time does come, when
in such contests, party lines are wholly
obliterated, wrangling, disorder, and
heart burnings will be the result OF
every action of village council. 1t has
become potent fact that those elected
to places of trust, by a political faction
that every move made by the one elect
ed, IN his official capacity, is watched
by partisan eye, and if, in the dis
charge of that duty, his conscience as
serts itself, and from lrue patriotism
not blinded by party ties, he castsa vote
or gives Inference to thoughts that is
construed by his party friends to favor
his political opponents, the wise acre:
and political wire pullers go into spasm:
over it. 1t makes no difference to them
what his views upon the matter in hand
may be, he must vote fOrparty suprem
acy, or receive the condemnation anC
be pronounced traitor.
We are heartily in favor Of buryine
all political lines in our city affairs, anC
that we all meet upon the same plane
giving our attention more to the success:
and advancement of our beautiful city
instead of manipulating the politica
machinery to gain political advantage

The tragedy of Catherine Howard
was the picture of love, treachery,
and marriage. and her execution. She
became one of the many wives of Henry
VIII. Cathrine Howard was of hum
BILE birth, and one day it happened that
the king preceived her in her home and
instantly fell in love with her, and or
dered her brought to his palace; but
she did not appear there until after she
supposed her husband was safely out of
the way. She eventually married the
king, bat not before her husband ap-
peared upon the scene, and finally
caused her death. The kinkiey house
hold which held the boards between the
act OF the above tragedy was in every
feature exceptionally fine. The master
of that humble home, was an ardent ad-
vocate of liberty, and his every express
sion was perfectually natural.

Family Rows.

In the vicinity of the planning mill
for some time past, there has been al
intervals family spats between parties
that occupy the same house. The
blame for these scraps seem equally di-
yided.
These disturbances have not in the
least reduced the temperature, but is
thought by some, taking the language
used into consideration, caused a rising
of the thermometer in that immediate
locality. Last Tuesday morning the
squabble was renewed, and we have il
from an eye witness that it occurred
about this way:
Mrs. Harker, who we understand has
not the temper of an angel, was attend
ing to her weekly washing, while man
named Williams and Liberty Cross were
sitting upon the porch near by. To all
indications Cross was tantaliZing the
woman, who on most occasions is COM
petent to take care of herself, and was
telling him to keep his mouth shut. He
continued to deride her until finally she
grabbed up stick of wood and threw
it at him. Missing him the first time
as women generally do when they throw
at an object, she picked mp another stick
and this time with better results, strik-
ing him stinging blow in the face.
Cross started after her and she re.
treated into the wood shed close by
where in few moments cries for help
was heard 1t was learned afterwards 5
that Cross kicked her, or at least she
displayed black and blue marks to cor
roborate her statement.
Whatever the cause of these disgrace
full rows heretofore has been, there is no
doubt that Cross was the cause of the
disturbance Tuesday morning. And
whether true or not, the people living
in this locality are getting tired of the
pow vows going on there, and they
should be stopped.

The Barnum-B Bailey show has can
celled theirdate, at Plymouth, but have
given this small grain of comfort to
those that desired to see this great ag-
gregation, that they will give Plymouth
date next fall. The probabilities are
they will not appear here.
The secret of the matter is, according
to well developed theory, that their
intentions to visit this section of the
state were always surrounded by doubt
The Ringing Bros. were running the
Barnum & Bailey show close race, and
to keep this show out of this section, il
is said these dates were made. How

The Silent Reaper.

Last Tuesday, after a long and pain
full illness, Miss Ella Humphrey passed
peacefully out into the unknown. For
some time she has been sick with a can
Ger, and last January went to Chicago,
where she was treated at a hospital.
She soon learned that her case was
hopeless, and only case of time when
death would relieve her of the suffering
she so patiently endured. She desired to
be brought home, and then quietly
awaited the summons.
Miss Humphrey was born in Logan
county, Ohio, and moved shortly after
wards to Pierceton, this state. y few
years ago she came to Plymouth and

Endeavor.
Funeral services were held at her late

ALBERT BARBER.
The death Of Mr.. Albert Barber was
announced on our streets last week,
and was quite shock to those who
were well acquainted with him. Mr.
Barber had been in WalkertOn Thurs
day last attending to business, and
while there suffered sharp pains in the
region Of the heart. He went to Dr.
Arlington, of that place, and consulted
him, being informed that his trouble
was with the heart, and that it was ser
ious. Feeling considerable easier after
the doctor had prescribed for him, he
went home and in the evening, it is re-
ported, went to church services. While
there he suffered another attack and
went home. Just as he arrived at the
house he fell into the door and never
revived.
Mr.. Barber was a prominent citizen
and much respected by all who were so
fortunate as to enjoy his acquaintance.
The funeral services were held at his
late residence Sunday last, and was at
tended by a large concourse of people.
Mr.. Barber was member of the Royal
Arcanum and the following members

The Committee on Speakers for tho annual

Society have been bothered by free silver. II
has been the custom to invite prominent Demo-
Gratis from all sections Of the country to be pres
ent in Tammany's wigwam and talk on 1nde-
pendence Day. In the days when the Democ-
racy of all sections was unit on great issues
there was no bother for theinvitation commit
tee.
For two or three years past, however, some Of
the Western and Southwestern Congressman
who have talk ed at Fourth OF July celebrations
have enunciated populistic doctrines hardly in
accord with the Democratic idea entertained In
the metropolis. Mild surprise only was ex-
pressed at these utterances at the time. 1t was
believed, though. by sonle members of the

more pronounced silver men como on here and
