LESS THAN HALF PRICE.

The Independent is sent out to a
large number of people this week
who are not regular subscribers. On
account of the primary last week,
so much time was taken up with
matters outside the regular office
work. that we were unable to send
out sample copies. This week, the
tabulated vote of the recent primary
is given for the benefit of the demo
Gratis throughout the county, all of
whom are certainly interested in it.
We hope that these sample copies
have interested all in whose hands
they have fallen and until after
election the paper will be sent regu-
larly for only so cents, less than
half price. Send postoffice order.

MEASURE NOT IN FAVOR.

People Are Slow to Respond to the Porto
Rican Bill
a Goshen special TO the Indianapolis
News under date of April IL, is as fol
lows:
Elmer Crockett, of South Bend, repub-
lican chairman of the Thirteenth con
gressional district, was in this city and
Warsaw yesterday for the purpose of
securing the Endorsement of leading
republicans to the Porto Rican bill. The
object was to send the Endorsement to
Congressman Brick. Mr.. Crockett's
scheme did not meet with much favor
in Goshen. There is strong sentiment
here against the bill, and Congressman
Bricks action in voting for the bill was
severely criticised.

MRS. DEWEY FLOPS.

1t appears that Mrs. Dewey has
changed her religion several times
in the past. She was born and
reared Presbyterian and remained a
member of that church until the death
of her first husband, Gen. Hazen.
Then she joined the Episcopalian
church and later became a member
of society for the study of occult
science. Next she was converted to
catholicism and was married to the
admiral by priest of that persua,
sion. For some time past she has
been attending Episcopal services
and Wednesday announced her in
tention of returning to that faith.
Columbia City Post.
Of course, the admiral "will go
where Tilda goes" Why not?
Isn't she it?

The passage of the tax reduc-
ton bill in the house in the shape
in which it was put by the com
mittee will give salts faction to
the country. AS passed it makes
a reduction of about $4,000. 900
in the taxes. This is $4,000, 900
more than the president and the
secretary of the treasury recon-
mended, but the measure Of
course. will be accepted by the
president if it reaches him in the
present shape. Just what shape
it actually will have after going
through the senate can not be
foretold. but there is a reason
able presumption that the re-
publican leaders in that body
will take steps to prevent the
democrats from cutting the
taxes below that figure. The
house democrats endeavored to
make a cut of $4,000, 900, but
happily, were beaten. 1t is we'll
to try the s4o,OO0,O0O cut for a
year or two, and then if a further
reduction can safely be made, let
another cut be had. The mem
bers of the ways and means com,

situation when they opposed the
wholesale cut proposed by the
democrats.

That our present nominating

part Of good sense and good poll

too much at once: and by making

Democrats all over thecountry
have been thrown into a state of
enthusiasm by the recent decllra-
tions Of Elk x-President Grover
Cleveland. who declares that the
democratic party must cease
wondering after strange gods
and return to it's first principles.
During the second campaign in
which the man Of destiny headed
the democratic ticket he was the
idol of the democrats and pops.
In 1896 when he refused to stand
for IL soc dollar and a debased
currency these same admirers
of the great and only Grover,
could not find words vile enough
to abuse him and called him a
traitor. Now that their late idol
Bryan, has been wulloped to u
finish by the American people
who did not believe in being
dishonest and paying soc on the
dollar, these same great reform
ers have rrived at the conclu-
sion that they must halt in their
heudlong flight up salt river and
have become convinced that Nv
Cleveland is a pretty good fellow
and an able statesman after all.

Lord would be on the right side
in the election, and as it was IL

of the ''creator and preserver of

victorious party. And seeing
that the legislature is alno st

Sentinel's views on religion are
sound, the Lord is responsible
for that majority and will doubt

his text.
