The ecu or Greeley. . The all-absorbing topic of thought and comment just now, is the rescue of the survivors of the Greeley expedition. While there is cause for grief in the loss of so many of the brave men comprising the party, - there is great satisfaction in the rescue of the others. One by one seventeen strong men soccambed to starvation, and one was drowned while in the pursuit of food. For the others death seemed certain. They were far from home, and for all they knew, past rescue. life, with them, had become a question of hoars. To expect relief was al
most to expect a miracle. Bat
while hope was dying within them, two gallant ships were fighting
their way through the ice, andres-
' cue came when a delay of two mora days would have been death. The situation of 14. Grg&Vey and
his companions was " apparently
hopeless. Trfree years had passed
- -s&ee they were in reach of a help
ing hand. One expedition, sent
none too early for their rescue, had
failed utterly in its mission. This
was a forlorn hope, and its success
was due entirely to the vigor with
which the Bear and the Thetis
prosecuted the humane search with
which they were charged. All will
join heartily in the ovation which is thedoe alike of the rescuers and
the rescued. But the practical lesson taught is that these expeditions are a fruitless and criminal waste
of human life. Much is risked by them, and little can be gained. Science does uot look to the Pole
for a solution of the mysteries' of
the universe. Commerce has no.in
teres! in an open Polar Sea, or the
possibility of a Northwest Passage that has been demonstrated to be impossible. Even curiosity is satisfied. It follows, therefore, that this expedition should be the last of its kind that there abbuld be
bo more sacrifices to the spirit of
fruitless adventure.
Even if some practical gain were
to accrue from expeditions of this kind, they, should be discouraged
they are too hazardous to be under
taken at all. Such stations as that established by Greeley in Lady
Franklin Bay can neither be reach
ed by relief ships, nor hi escape from them practicable. Suffering only is certain, and death may be eouated npon as almost a certainty. The whole history of Arctic adven
ture comprises only narratives of
disaster.
Thirty years ago the whole world
was waiting anxiously for tidings of the fate of Sir John Franklin. Expedition after expedition went
- in search of him and his party, and
years rolled away before any knowl
edge was gained of the fate that be
fell him. Subsequent expeditions
were but a repetition of his unhappy story, and now, last of all, Greeley
cornea hack to us with five of his
companions, to tell anew the story
ef suffering and death of miracu
Ions rescue. Let us rejoice in the rescue, let them be crowned as he
roes, but in the interest of human
ity these Polar expeditions should
be discouraged.
Butkrhe workingman's friend, riddled the Democratic platform. His words were like a brand of fire j fallen into the midst of hypocritical
Democracy. He wounded them in their own house. He was the Democracy's avenging Nemesis. When he had finished his speech, the Democracy could plainly see the handwriting on the wall ! Ben
Butler's speech was the digging of
the grave, and Clevelauds' nomina
tion was the party's death.
A singular spectacle was that
of two conventions at one time aud
of one party, at Indianapolis, last
week. Shiel, proprietor of the Monitor - Journal, conceived the idea of nominating a prohibition
state ticket. The prohibitionists
throughout the state, who had the
true interests of the prohibition party at heart, headed by Col.Cum-
back, also called a convention, in
which they opposed the formation
ef a prohibition state ticket, feeling that their only hope of success
lay in the election of the Republi
can legislative ticket, through which a .constitutional convention may be had, which will secure to them a
direct submission to the voters of a prohibition amendment. The Shiel
convention had for its object the
nomination of a ticket and the giving of aid and comfort to the Democratic party, which party is and
always has been the open enemy of
temperance. The Sliiel-Democrat
convention nominated a ticket, over
the protest of the other convention, as they intended to do from the first. The anti-nominating convention was attended by Rev. J. A. Brant, Postmaster McPheeters, and C. P. Tnley, of this city.
The letter of acceptance of
James G. Blaine, the next Presi
dent of the United States, has been
more generally read, the Progress believes, by Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike, than any document of
a similar character ever presented
to the American people. It is the fullest, most complete and compre
hensive treatise on the tariff, and on the present status of the govern
ment and parties, ever written. It is said that a number of men in varioot portions of the country who had been inclined to stray away af
ter the illusions presented by the
free trade'Cemocraoy, have been
led by Blaine's letter to re-affirm
Vatiir allegiance to the party that
saved the Nation,bailt up its credit, and has so successfully managed the Government during the past
twenty years. If you haven't the
leisure to read the letter to-day, lay the paper aside, and read it at another time it will do you good.
The Irish Nation says : "The
triumph of the men who nominated Cleveland was as much a slight and insult to the old leaders of the party as to Irish, the workingmen and die anti-monopolists, whoopposed his nomination so strenuously.
The intellect and experience of the
party were contemptuously push
ed aside, to make room for a dull
and plodding lawyer, who is the
merest tool of an illiberal and cor
rupt ring, having no affinity with the able men whom the party loved
to honor in the past, and whose dark and devious methods are a
disgraceful parody on the statesmanship which once ruled the councils
of the Democracy.
"irishmen of spirit have no
choice. Cleveland must be defeated.
and the only way to do that effect
ually is by voting for James G. Blaine for President. Let us or
ganize for the fight, and crush know-nothingism for all time.

The dead body of David Beach man Harbeson, aged twenty
years, son of David Horbeson, a well known stock trader of New
Albany, was found hanging to a rafter in Huncilman's stable. Mon
day morning of last week. The
young man was in the state insane asylum a few years ago.
At Cedar Lake on Friday last,
the Urown roint Chronicle reports,
Charles Dickies, aired 25, and An
drew MoColly, only 17 years old, went in a boat to Green's saloon
which floats upon the lake and filled
themselves with liquor, and returning, in a quarrel overturned their boat and drowned. They had been
seen to rise in the boat in conflict, but the first known of their falling
out and drowning was the finding
of the boat upset and a hat under
it. J heir bodies were recovered
Sunday.
Physicians describe the "quii !.:. ,i.
Uiuts iwuit voicn many jjcujjik have acquired as an evil scarcely inferior to the opium and the whisky habit. Quinine has come into very general use, especially with men of sedentary habits, as a tonic, or stimulant, a oure for colds and to invigorate the system. An appetite is thus formed which is as great torment as any vicious appe
tite that can be cultivated. A cure for the "quinine habit" is said to be found in strong cold boneset tea.
Died at the residence of her
parents in the City of Bloomiugton, July 20tb, 1384, Miss Ada, youngest daughter of Andrew J. and
Martha Hoover, age 19 years. Miss AdaHoover was well known
to every one in this community;and
her death has attracted universal
sympathy. No one had a more loveable nature than she, nor a better capacity for making friends.
Whether in company with the
young or the old her conduct was
ever marked by a strict propriety. In society she was a general favorite, not more on account of her pleas
ant disposition than her genera) in
telligence and good sense, iiut it is as a devoted christian that we all love to remember her. From earli
est youth she has attended SundaySchool, and not many months before her decline had become teacher of a class. Her work in this position was wall and conscientiously done. In 1879 she
united with the Uuriatian unurcii tne
Church to which hor family all belong and under no circumstances did she ever
fail to honor the profession. Ada was a
girl ot a really sorious nature, sue naa not that seriousness which shows itself at the expense of cheerful and agreeable ways, but which always restrained her
lrom participating m anytning inconsistant with Christian lifo. She graduated from the High School in June, 1883, but last winter spent a month visiting tho family of Mr. Geo. Cooper, at Columbus. It was not until March 19th. last, that
she took to her bed. From that time oa she
was patient and hopeful, never repining.
Her failing neaitn dates bacic to tne rail of isai.lln tne hope of benefitting her condi
tion she paid an extended visit in Oct., 1882, to relatives in New Albany . While there she took a great deal of active recre
ation and was much improved. Jfrom that time on she was able to go about most of the time. She had never given utterance to a word of complaint, entertaining hopes of recovery. She never spoke of death until a few weeks ago when her failing strength made plain the faot that life was coming to a close. She met it bravely and talked freoly with the family about it. The night before she died, aftor
taking an affectionate leave of all around her bedside, she said : "I love you very much hut I want to go home." Her funeral took place from the Christian Church on Monday, July 21st. On this occasion the house was filled to its utmost capacity and the expression of sorrow on every face, showed, more clearly than words eouM express, the universal esteem in which she was held. Her Sunday School class of some eight or ten youug girls, sat among the mourners and when the coffin was lowered into tho grave each one deposited a boqviel as an affectionate offering to her memory. In conclusion the family desire me to express their sincere thanks, in this public way, sot only to their immediate neighbors, who were so unremitttng in their ttentions,bu also to ftlHhroughout the eorumu&itv who during the illness and death
of their daughter gave so.many tokens of
friendship and sympathy. A. B. PHILFTJTT.
A correspondent of the Brooklyn Union remonstrates against the course pursued by that paper regarding Mr. Blaine, and says': "I have just returned from an extended trip, and have constantly conversed with merchants, clerks aud farmers (no politicians), and I never heard such enthusiasm for any man as there is for Jas. G. Blaine." N. Y.Sun : "Is Pat McCarthy in the ranks ?" said the Duke of Wellington at the battle of Waterloo. "Yes, sir," answered Pat. "Then," said the Duke, solemnly, "let the fight go on." Mr.Cleveland may not think it worth his while to ask such a question next November. Maybe Pat won't be there : the battle will go on all the same. Possibly the Democracy may yet have reason to regret the absence of Pat, if he really intends to go away.
A $20,000 STOCK OF DRY GOODS MASSED DOWN TO CASH PRICES. Believing that & Strictly cash business is decidedly better for both Buyer and the Seller and believing that such a business can be done successfully in Bloomiugton, The New York Store has resolved to now demonstrate the correctness of such a belief and also the advantages to the Public of such a business. No man can sell his goods even to a good miuon credit as cheap as he can for cash because the credit given Aim compels the Merchant to add at least 10 per cent for the ris the Credit System compels him to take on some other man who is not 80 good and prompt in his payments, and one reason the Cash Business has heretofore failed is because those trying it have still given credit to a few and the credit given the few prevented any change in prices to those compelled to pay cash. Wo ask our many friends and patrons to call and tee the dif
ference we make in prices under the Cash
rule, xi we don't convince you that we de every customer of the House a greater favor by selling strictly for cash than we did under the time rule by selling on credit, we will then feel that you don't care what goods cost, aotbey can be bought on credit. A man who has a credit to buy goods on time, can with that Same Credit get money to pay for the goods he wants, and if the cash will make a difference of from 10 to 30 per cent in the cost of his goods he ought and he will go to tho New York Store, where such difference is made.

Farmers in Wabash eounto are prophesying a failure of the coru crop, which is being jeopardized by the unprecedented drought. No rain to speak of has fallen this month, and vegetation of all kinds is suffering sadly. Small streams are drying up very generally. There is considerable suffering among stock. A splendid crop of wheat and hay has been saved. m Mr. Fowler, of Lafayette, owns
a choice farm in Benton county of
between 25,000 and 30,000 acres. Every foot is under cultivation.
This year he has 10,000 acres of
corn, which at present prospects will yield forty bushels per acre, or 400,000 bushels. He is now engaged in cutting bis hay crop, covering 2,500 acres, and estimated at 5,000 tons. Mr. Fowler makes a specialty of blooded stock, and last week made a sale of a single herd of Herefords, yielding him $48,000. m There are two things that will prevent anything like general hard times good crops and good money. We thank God for the first, and the Republican party for the last. m ei m The combined vote of Treat and Robinson four years ago was 17,775: that of Matson 17,411,
leaving Matson in a minority of
dt4. We ought to beat him. In the Republican National convention there was not a man who drew a sword or pointed a bayonet against the Union. Nearly one half of the men who composed the Democratic convention served in the Rebel army. Evansville Journal.
When Democrats dig up the anti-war speeches of General Logan, made in the days when he was an
orthodox Democrat, what pangs of
regret they must feel as they reflect how far away from sound doortrine he has progressed in the past twenty-four years.
New York City in anticipation of a probable visit from the cholera,has begun the work of disinfection and cleaning up. Eight wagons, carrying four thousand gallons oi copperas water, are now going the rounds of the tenement houses and making a through overhauling of the same. Bloomington and all Indiana towns should get ready also. In these days of rapid transit, when the ocean is crossed in less than eight days, it will not take long for this Asiatie plague to girdle the earth. An hour's work now may be worth a week's later on.
LATEST FASHION NOTES.
Wrapper-gowns that may serve either for neglige day dresses or for night-gowns are shown in the Mother Hubbard shape made of lawn or cambric; those with tucked yokes, a standing tucked ruffle on the neck, and two ruffles on the sleeves, also around the skirt, are very neat and inexpensive. For those who prefer eolored gowns, pule blueor pink scoteh gingham of solid color is used for all of the gown but the yoke, which is made of white embroidery in open compass, wheel, or star patterns. More dressy priucesse wrappers are of white mull, with a Watteau fold behind shirred to the neck, and falling wider open as it reaches the floor. This Watteau fullness is sewed in the middle seam of the back as far down as the tournure, and below that it adds to the width of the skirt. Instead of being held in darts, the fronts of many wrappers are merely shirred at the waist-line, and ribbons inserted iu the underarm seams are tied across. A deep gathered flounce or two narrow flounces tucked and edged with the patent Yalencienues lace, add a graceful finish to the skirt of such gowns; these, however, must not cross the Watteau pleat. White figured sateen and gay figured sateens are liked for Mother Hubbard gowns with the yoke and the sleeves of embroidery. For silk gowns foulard aud surah are used at this season in dedicate shades of blue, ftink, pale gray, with some Oriental ace for trimming, arranged in a frill around the neck and wrists and down the fronts. Buttoned shoes aro most used, though there is a renewed effort to introduce laced shoes for walking. Dashing young ladies wear seaside costumes of Turkey rod cotton, with glimpses of white embroidery. Single bangles are attached by a ribbon to handsome parasols to slip over them and keep them closed. Slippers for the house are cut very low in front, and have their box toes more sharply pointed than shoes. The Leghorn flat is again in favor, and nothing is prettier for summer hats than these, both for children and young ladies. Jerseys are finished with velvet collars and cuffs. Almond-colored atii cream -white jerseys are stylishly used ever ecru foulard skirts. r Lapis-lusuli blue is both prettier and more becoming than navy blue, and is the blue of the season in both dress fabrics and trimmings.
