EIGHTH DISTRICT REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Republicans of the Eighth congressional district of Indiana will meet In delegate convention at the court room In Terre Haute on Thursday, February 2,1888, at 1 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of electing one member of the state central committee for said district, who will also be the chairman of the district central committee. Each county will be entitled to one delegate vote for each voting precinct In said county, viz Clay 22 Fountain 18 Montgomery 25 Parke 21 Sullivan

Iu another place will be found the call for the Republican primaries tonight. It is a cold day but no Republican should be left to night.
Councilman Hirt is a phenomenal Democrat. He is better than his party. The four other Democrats in the council voted to let the town bo wide open. All honor to Mr. Hirt.
The Express takes pleasure in saying that a great majority of the saloon keepers are against the all-night, gambling saloons and from the beginning have seen that those places would bring aoout what is now happening.
The Law and Order League is not making a public parade of its work but the character of the men engaged in it is conclusive evidence of its purpose to see that law and order is obtained here in Terre Haute. It would be difficult to pick out
100
citizens of more substantial
character than those engaged in the movement.
The Express has no confidence in the heads of the police force. They have lied about the all-night saloon and gambling heretofore. They have been more engaged in reward hunting and blackmail than in performing their duties. Now is a time to get things right. Make a clean sweep. Crowd on the good pressure.
Some of the wide-open people do not yet appreciate the fact that whereas they were on top awhile back, they are the under dogs in the fight now, and that such is the public sentiment in this city that they are likely to be kept under for some time. There are those who learn nothing, and though knocked out again and again, each time with more telling effect, insist on pursuing the bold tactics of bulldozing defiance.
Some of the Democrats in the council are even proposing to test the legality of the appointment of the new police board. They are also seriously considering a scheme to oust Republicans elected to office. As a Republican the Express hopes some of these things will be attempted and the effort continued up to the time of the election.
Again,
a news
paper man has been personally threatened that he would be killed. Such talk as this on the parfr of the baffled wide-open people means sure reaction that will bring on them even more stringent measures than as yet determined on. The professional gamblers are amenable to a criminal law and unless they keep quietly in the back ground the Law and Order League may find it necessary to send them to a place of safety.
The Express has received the following: In your headlines to your Washington news In this morning's paper you say "the tariff reformers score a light victory." To whom do you refer as tariff reformers? Over whom was the victory scored? Are not we Republicans tariff reformers? We were the last time, we expressed ourselves through a convention, and If we are not now, when did we change?
The Express referred to the freetraders who have stolen the name of "tariff reformers," and whose misappropriation has caused the true friends of the tariff, those who believe in a protec
tive tariff, regulated and changed as the exigencies may require, to abandon the name just as Mr. Blaine's followers abandoned the name of "Stalwart Republicans," which he had suggested, when it began to be misused by the Guiteaus. 5
The victory was over the friends of a protective tariff, who were purposely placed in a minority in the ways and means committee.
Republicans certainly are "tariff reformers" in the true sense of reforming the tariff when it is found to be necessary, as it is now, but the vast majority of them do not believe in the purposes of those who are in these days commonly denominated "tariff reformers." They believe in correcting the irregularities of the tariff which with time must arise they do not believe in cutting off the dog's tail behind the ears.
For instance, yesterday's CourierJournal, whose editor frankly avows free trade refers to this same news dispatch as "a protection defeat." The Express does not believe that Republicans are "tariff reformers" who rejoice in a protection defeat.
It is no more true to refer to Republicans as "tariff reformers" in this instance than it is to speak of a pickpocket as a "gentleman of leisure" meaning one who has honesty reached that place in life when he can he at his leisure.

CHESTER R. FAULKNEli.
Reasons That Induced Commissioner Black to Request His Resignation. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, January 21.—This afternoon the Journal correspondent learned at the pension office that Chester R. Faulkner, of Indiana, who has been for about two years chief of the records divisions, would retire from official life and resume his old position as private secretary to Senator Voorhees. It was with some difficulty that the facts which led Faulkner to conclude to retire could be ascertained, as but few knew them. There was, however, a general apprehension among employes of his division that something was going wrong with him, and that he did not go to Indiana for his health or amusement. Faulkner has found his official duties very unpleasant for some time, and has been on the point of resigning for six months. He told a friend last fall that if he could get back his place in the senate he would leave the pension office but the reasons signed at the pension office for his retirement are interesting. In the first place, Commissioner Black, it is said in the office, has been much annoyed over the incident which occurred at the lunch Faulkner spread on the day before Christmas, in which a woman figured, and which was related by the Journal a few days afterwards. It is also said that Faulkner was the principal actor in a horse drama which had some influence in bringing about his retirement It is reported that he sold a horse recently to a widow in this city, guaranteeing the animal to be entirely sound, gentle, and altogether such a beast as a lady would want to drive, 7 years old, and so forth. The purchaser paid for the animal, and took him to a livery stable to be kept for her, wljen it was discovered that it was tricky, ugly generally,
15
years old, and so doctored that
it was made in old age to look young. The woman who made the purchase is not famous for amiability, and so she went to the pension office, and it took but a few minutes to make the judge look very tired. At the conclusion of the interview she had her money back and the judge was again possessor of the horse. This transaction, it is stated, was reported to General Black, who de cided that the Solon Shingle of the office should be excusod from further service. So Faulkner was detailed to make some special examinations in Indiana, with the understanding that he would resign. There is general regret in his division, for Faulkner is a kindly man and a generous officer, and he endeared himself to all who worked with him. He is honest and has rendered excellent service.

A recent law in Michigan commands each town to provide itself with a seal with which to seal election returns. The folks in the township of Star, being frugal, told a local carver to cut the Word "Star" upon the end of a stick.

were
sealed with "aatS."
-t -Another ".Ladies' Hank" Swindle.
NOKBISTOWN, Pa., January 20.—Miss Mary Brown, a maidenly lady, residing in Norristown, and possessed of considerable property has been swindled out of 830,000 by a Philadelphia woman who made investments for women. She conducted a "ladies' bank" and promised large returns for every dollar invested. Miss. Brown said she had known the woman whose victim she is, since childhood and had great confidence in her. On Monday Bhe was to receive fa large sum of money from the Philadelphia woman as a return on her investment. The money did not come, and Miss Brown wrote to her. She replied that all business between them was at an end, and that no more letters would be answered. This was startling information to Miss Brown, who was so infatuated with what she had supposed to be a sure and speedy method of obtaining a fortune, that she had borrowed money from all her friends in order to invest it with the Philadelphia woman. She has employed counsel to prosecute the Philadelphia woman, but her lawyers say it would be impossible for Miss Brown to recover.

It is said that Miss Lizzie Melville, a beautiful young lady livintr with Mrs. Burns, at Second and Locust streets, and who was married to Harry Walker a few days ago, had been carried away by her father during her husband's absence and'"plaoed in a convent in California. Lizzie was young and capricious, and accepted two offers of marriage and had- two weddings set for the same day. Two licensee were
THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1888,
issued and two bands and two suppers engaged. There was but one wedding, one sapper, one happy man and one man left Now the question is whether it is better to be married and have no wife or not to be married at all. Both of the disappointed lovers claim the other fellow was left.
EXAMINATIONS IN THE SCHOOL*.
The Semi-Yearly Promotions to Begin at tbe End of This Month.
The plan of semi-yearly promotions, which was decided on by the school board over a year ago, will go into practical effect at the end of this school month. The pupils in all the district schools and in the first year of the High school, who have successfully passed all tests on the half year's work, will be advanced half a grade on promotion cards furnished by their teachers. The other grades in the High school will not be affected, as the rearrangement will necessarily work its way through year by year. The system will not have worked its way entirely through the High school until January, 1892, when a class will graduate, and thereafter there will be two graduating classes each year, one in January and a second in June. Superintendent Wiley has devised new and simple blanks which will make the task of recording each student's standing much easier than ever before, at the same time being much more complete. He anticipates a great improvement in the schools by virtue of this important change, and claims many advantages for the new system. It gives an opportunity for the scholar to be advanced as his work deserves, one who is able to do his work well and rapidly being advanced at the end of the six months to a higher section, while one who is not quite up with his studies can go over them by loosing but half the year. The plan will prevent a large proportion of the failures such as have occured at the end of former school years.
The examinations for the half yearly promotions will occur next week as follows:
Wednesday, a. m., 26th: Grades 7 and 8—History. Wednesday, p. m. Grades 1, 2 and 3—Reading. Grades 4, 5 and 6—Geography. Grades 7 and 8— Grammer.
Thursday, a. m.,27th: Grades 1 to8-Arithme-tic. Thursday, p. m.: Grades 1 to 8-Spelling and Writing.
There will be no school on Friday as the inspection of records will be made at Superintendent Wiley's office. In the High school the examinations will be held only* in such branches as have been, finished.

Mrs. Grinder may recover.
BIG DROP IN PIG IRON.
The Bearish Condition of the Market Compels the Banking of Furnace*.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Januaiy 20.—A crisis has been reached in the pig iron market. Prices have dropped $4 per ton since the first of the year. Some people have been badly squeezed, and a number of furnace men, who claim to have no hand in bearing the market, have banked their furnaces, and are now awaiting developments. They say such a decline is certainly unwar ranted, and that they cannot manufacture and sell pig iron at present prices, except at a loss. Mill iron is now selling the highest at $17 per ton, four months' time. During January the rolling price was $21 per ton (four months) for the same grade of iron. There has been a reduction of 25 cents per ton in the price of coke since January 1, but there has been no reduction in ore, and freight rates remain practically the same.
No Wonder He Died.
MILWAUKEE, January 20—Andrew Blemel, recently sentenced to two years' imprisonment for shooting Fred Pagel through the abdomen,* will probably have anew trial. It has just transpired that the physicians who operated on Pagel sewed up a large sponge in the body, which either caused or hastened death. The fact was discovered at the post mortem, but concealed by the surgeons.
