A ttMNl Word fur "tuclc Utck." Imilanspoll* Jonrnsl. Indiana furnishes the extremes in the resent administration. One is Secretary ompson, who, by rigid economy and honesty turns back into the treasury a million and a half of the appropriations made for his department. The other is Second Assistant Postmaster General Brady, who exceeds his appropriations two millions and threatens to cut off the mails unless the deficiency is appropriated. The first is a good example to be imitated and a service to be rewarded the other, one to be condemned and avoided.

A NEW IDEA.

The Daily News Call Boxes and Messengers. To facilitate the collection of city news, as well as to place advertising patrons in close connection with the office, the publishers have placed Call Boxes at different points throughout the city, each of which will be visited several times during the day, from 7 o'clock AM till 2:00 by the Messenger Boys of the DAILY NEWS. These Boxes have been put up for the purpose of affording a place of deposit for information of local news, and we cordially invite any person who has knowledge of any matter of public interest happening in his or her vicinity to write out the facts and drop it in one of our Boxes. Attached to each Box will be found tablets of paper. 8ign your name to your communication, for the knowledge of the editor only, as a guarantee of good faith on your part. We insist on this items not signed by a known responsible name are of the value of waste paper, and will be treated accordingly. The advertising patrons of the DAILY NRWB will also find these Boxes a convenience, as they can drop their favors therein, and thereby save a walk to the office.

Communications, orders for the DAILY NEWS by carrier or mail, advertising copy, or information of any kind intended to reach the office, can be handed to the DAILY NEWS Messenger Boys, as they pass to and fro through the streets. They will be known by their blue caps with DAILY NEWS in white letters on the front, and Message Pouches of light-colored leather. The names of our Messenger Boys are: GEORGE M. SPARKS and WILLIAM I. POWER. They are, while on duty for the DAILY NEWS, and wearing the badge of the paper, its accredited representatives, and we trust they will, in their business relations, merit the commendation of our patrons, as well as ourselves, for attention to their duties.

LOCATION OF BOXES.

At the Terre Haute House, on desk in the reading room. At the "Depot Drug Store" of Robinson & Sherburne, 980 Chestnut street.

At "East End Drug Store," J. E. Somes, 1201 Main street. At the Bakery and Grocery of Mrs. A. Gerhart, 834 South Thirteenth street.

At the Agricultural Implement warehouse of C. A. Power, 104 and 106 Main street.

At the Grocery Store of A. C. Acuff, 411 LaFayette street, corner of Locust. Additional boxes will be placed in other localities in a few days.

The following card is attached to each box: DAILY NEWS MESSAGE BOX.

This box is placed here by the consent of the proprietor, as a place of deposit for local items, society news, or anything of a character that would bo of interest to the reader of a daily Terre Haute newspaper. The jniblUhern solicit such information from any one. They only ask contributors to be brief and to the point, and to give the information at onee—what may be news to-day, ten chances to one will be no news to-morrow. fyOffensive personalities must be avoided.^! Write your items on the paper attached, and drop it in the box, which will be visited several times each forenoon, up to 2 M, by tho DAILY NKWS MRSSRNQRR BOYS, and the contents conveyed to the DAILY NEWS office. A responsible name is required to be signed to each item, (for the personal knowledge only of the Editor,) as a guarantee of good faith.

HTOrdere for the DAILY NEWS to be left by carrier or sent by mall, or copy for advertisements, can also be placed in the box, thus securing early attention to such orders. Local items or ads. can be handed to the DAILY NEWS MKSSKNGKR BOYS, as they pass through the streets.

J. W. Rile?, the loader Net, Mr J. W. Riley, the Hoosier poet and dialectician, whose name and writings are familiar to almost every household in InJ di&na, will give his select readings and humorous studies from real life at the Opera House next Saturday night. His selections are all original, embracing principally dialect poems and character sketches. The press and public have been enthusiastic in his praises wherever he has appeared.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Delegations from Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago are now here strjving to secure tho meeting of the Democratic National Convention in their respective cities. The Cincinnati men talk confidentially, but lack influential backing. Tilden's influence is strong for St. Louis, and it looks as thougn that city may carry its point. The fact that the convention met there the last time is against it, however. Wednesnesday, June 16, is spoken of as the date of the Convention.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Much feeling is manifested by the members of the appropriations committee concerning the action of the postofflce committee and postoffice department in regard to the star service deficiency appropriations. Representative Blount, who has been acting chairman of the appropriations committee during the illness of Chairman Atkins, said to-day that the additional appropriation demanded will not be granted without, a bitter fight. He recognized that Mr Brady holds Congress by the throat, and is in a position to enforce his demands. He thinks Mr Brady should be impeached, and indeed such a thing is not improbable, if he does not retire. It is understood that the President feels anxious about the matter and has closely watched developments, and in this connection there are hints that Mr Brady will retire before long.

•-•The DAILY NEW8 cordially endorses the following from the Express of this morning: "The employes of Keyes & SykCs will give a ball at Dowling Hall on Friday 27th. Everybody should turn out and give the boys a lift, as a great many of them lost all their tools in the late fire, besides being thrown out of employment. It is not a charity entertainment, as everybody that attends will get his money's worth of fun, not only making himself happy, but will bestow a pecuniary blessing upon his fellow-workmen." We tender the use of the DAILY NEWS columns to further the object named.

•-•At the National Township Convention, this afternoon, the following nominations were made: Trustee—B. J. Abbott Justice of the Peace—Henry Morris Assessor—J. U. Johns Constables—C. L. Knapp, Alex. Peyton, Wm. Miller, John Anderson, Charles Taylor..

MR KENNEDY.

He "Will Be Here Monday, Sura" The information concerning Hon P. S. Kennedy's not being able to address the Young Men's Republican Club on Monday evening, was from a letter from Mr K. dated yesterday, same date as his letter to Mr Mitchell. We suppose Mr K. received the official notice of invitation after he had written us. The following is priuted in the Express this morning:

CKAWFORDSVILLE, Feb. 20,1880.

D. C. Mitchell, $*q.: DEAR SIR: Your letter of yesterday inviting me io address the Young Men's Republican Club of your city is just received. 1 will come.

Yours truly, P. S. KENNEDY.

On reading this, we at once wired Mr Kennedy, with the following result: CRAWFORDSVILLE, Feb. 21. Frank Seaman, Kd. Daily News:

Will be there Monday, sure. Wiji leave here on the 10 o'clock train. My address will be somewhat in the nature of a lecture on Stateism vs. Nationalism.

P. S. KENNEDY.

This settles it. We earnestly hope every Republican in the city will endeavor to bo present and hear Mr. Kennedy. They will not be disappointed in hearing a good speech—one that will go through the up per crust and down to the hard pau. .1 J. 'J .LSf

ABOUT ADVKRTIHINU.

Enpeclally Advert lain* In the Dally New*. The DAILY NEWS solicits advertisements from the merchants and business men, mechanics and professionals, of Terre naute. It does not propose, however, that its solicitors shall buzz around their ears hour by hour with the pertinacity of a modern book agent, until their solicitations are rewarded. The publishers of this paper propose to make it worthy of a large subscriptibn list, and that it will receive such a subscription they do not for a moment doubt. It is an established fact that newspaper advertising is the most valuable medium by which an individual can place his goods or wares, 6r his occupation before the public and the value is in proportion to the number who will likely sec the advertisement. As to the value of an advertisement in the DAILY NEWS, we will say that we print to-day 1,000 copies, and shall print no less to morrow, or any succeeding day. We do not start with this number of subscribers, we admit, but each copy printed will be placed, like Oakes Ames' money was a few years ago, where it will do the most good. The subscription list will exceed this number before the expiration of the month.

The DAILY NEWS solicits advertisements and rates will be found elsewhere. It will be seen that these rates are computed by the line, and, for advertisements occupying short length of space, with daily changes, if the advertiser sees fit to make them. This is the kind of advertising that is preferred. Space in the paper is valuable, and ads. for "filling" are not sought

foT.

The larger sheets,

with their cheap patent medicine and absolutely dead "fill up" advertising, may cover a larger sheet of white paper, but that gives them no value. The DAILY NEWS ha* no dead space. Every line counts. We want otir advertising to 1m? news in itself, and hence worth five times to the advertiser which it would be if concealed in "fill up" rubbish. We be lleve in the system of having the business man advertise when he has something Ut communicate to the public, and not com pel him to take a space which is practi cally dfesd to him nine months in the year, in order to bare a low rate, whih* in reality he is paying an excessive rate for the three month* when the advertisement may be of advantage to him. TV cus tarns, as regard* advertising. «f the large cities can be just as well adapted to the smaller oaes. and sorb an innovation would grow in popularity t£* It became thoroughly understood-
