news regarding John Sherman is that
he will probably recover. The report

that Sherman was better. He will be
transferred at Santiago to the United
States cruiser Chicago.

TwO-Cent Fare Agitation

1t is a notable fact that all agitation
in behalf of two-cent railway fares does
not emanate from the general public
OF course, petitions are copiously signed
by great many persons, but as 1t don't
cost anything, the solicitation of a
friend or acquaintance is usually &C
cOuntable for that. 1t is an easy mat
ter to array public opinion against any
corporation. Railways pay larger pro-
portion of the taxes and help along the
general welfare by employing labor and
fostering industries. The thoughtless
signing of petition to deny them the
right of fixing fares by which their ex-
istence is governed must appeal to all
fair minded persons as unjust. Were it
not for the railways, progress would
have hard time of it. 1tw

him take the consequences. We

fused "hlnd most" a few weeks

for another chastisement. We never
take up quarrels with him without
feeling that we are sacrificing our
dignity by doing SO, but his repeated
insoience causes us to let loose once

the business men who were active
in efforts to bring the Brethren
plant here, have not in single in

contrary, they condemn it at every

course in the case of the Brethren
plant as we'll as in the instances
when it fagrantly abused leading
business men, has stamped it an eye
sore to the community, and the con-
trollers as destroyers of local institu-
tons and maligners of characters
and regulations.

the wife of Senator Cushman X.
Davis, of Minnesota, having learned

had failed utterly to benefit the lady

eft Mrs. Mckinley, and she has not

INDEPENDENT CONGRATULATED.


The Daily Independent has been
congratulated by a number OF
business men who were active in
efforts to secure the Brethren print
ing plant. One of the prime movers,
who happens to be an ardent re-
publican, stated that nothing could
be said that would be too severe
condemnation of the Republican
Office under its present management.
Says he, it has worked against the
town repeatedly and is constantly
making personal attacks upon men
whose regulations are proof against
their disrespectful methods. A news
paper, he added, is out of its prov.
ince when it seeks to disturb and
create dissensions by malicious at
tacks. 1t should at all times reflect
the "good" and carry with it "peace
and good will" to all. 1t should also
work for the upbuilding of the city.
A newspaper which fails to do this
is undeserving of the patronage OF
the public and in time gets just what
it deserves. He respectfully extends
this wholesome advice to the Eve
ming News Hand Bill.
