ttituatioo* Wanted, as* Help Wasted* The DAIL-V NEWS will print advertisements of persons wanting work or situations, and of those needing help of any kind, without charge—such advertisements not to exceed 30 words. Tltis is proposed because 5t is believed it will aid many who need and desire work, and we cordially invite all interested to avail themselves of the means offered. It must be remembert»d that letters through the mail are not delivered to initial* only. If initials are used, the letter should be directed to the care of some individual, firm, or postoffice box, and if for city delivery, the postage is two cents. The DAILY NEWS has boxes at the offlee for the receplion of letters addressed to its care, and such letters will l«s delivered only to the advertiser holding a check for the box number.
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, froth 7 o'clock AM till 2:00 by the Messenger Boys of the DAII.Y 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. Sign your name to your communication, for the knowledge of the editor only, as a guarantee of good faith on your part. Wr imrint on thin items not Hignrd by a known responsible niune are of the value of waste paper, and will lie treated accordingly. The advertising patrons of the DAILY NKWS will also lind these Boxes a cotivenience, 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 NKWS Messenger Boys, as they pass to and fro through the streets. They will be known by their blue caps with DAILY NEWS iti white letters on the front, and Message Pouches of light-colored leather. The names of our Messenger Boys are: GEOROK M. 8I»ARKS 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.

The Latest News,
—The Philadelphia & Reading coal and iron company has advanced the price of coal five to 40 cents per ton. —The Ways and Means committee yesterday practically decided not io reopen the tariff, by a vote of 7 to 6. —Surgeon-General William Maxwell Wood, U. S. navy, died yesterday at his residence, at Owing's Mills, Baltimore county, Md., age 72. —The Macon & Augusta railroad was sold yesterday under second mortgage, amounting to $870,000. It was purchased by the Georgia railroad for $50,000.
EVANSVILLE, March 2.—Geo. Woods, tried twice for the murder of Millie Hobbs, July 15th, 1877, committed suicide in his cell last night. He left a letter saying he would not stand a third trial. —The Supreme Court of the State yesterday decided that the action of the directors of the State Prison North, in removing Warden Mayne, and doin^ other acts in connection therewith, was illegal.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—The action of the House committee on ways and means to-day is generally regarded as putting an end to all attempts to revise the tariff at the present session, either as a whole or reducing duties in special cases. There is a possibility that legislation may be forced in the matter of steel rails, sugar and materials for paper, in spite of this committee but this is not probable. —The dead body of S. W. Parker, a man of considerable property, was found floating in 4he canal at Cincinnati yesterday morning, liis gold watch was missing. No cause is known to induce him to commit suicide, and it is thought that he was robbed and thrown in the canal. He was at a temperance meeting Monday night and afterwards at a barber shop where he stopped to pay a small bill. He was a wiaowcr, 65 years old.
NEW YORK, March 2.—A fire broke out this morning in Farnham & Comstock's planing mill at Seventh avenue and Eighth street. In half an hour that building and the adjoining factory of the Domestic sewing machine company were entirely consumed. Losses are estimated at $75,000 on the planing mill stock and $25,000 on the building on the sewing machine
Stewart's
roperty and building probably $50,000. carpet cleaning factory, adjoining the sewing machine factor)', was flooded. The loss entailed is heavy.
KANSAS, III., March 2.—On Friday last. Dr W. B. Chambers, of Charleston, and Dr Link, of Terre Haute, amputated the leg of William Beaver, a resident of Clark count)', nearWestfield. MrB. was wound ed at the battle of Chicamauga, and after his regiment waa gone, he lay on the battlefield eight days, subsisting on cornbread alone. He refused to go to a rebel hospital to have the bullets extracted. A bullet waa extracted last Friday, and the physicians think another one still remained. This brave man died at his family residence this morning.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—The House passed the new rules to-day, at the end of two months' discussion, and in the main they area great improvement, though the Democrats made them extremely partisan in one important particular—the right to place political riders on appropriation bills being declared. Of all the committees which sought to amend the rules so as to give them authority to originate appropriation bills, the Committee on Agriculture alone succeeded. The House now intends to give prompt attention to the regular appropriation bills, several^ of the largest of which are ready. This part of the session work is fully two months behind
CITY OK MEXICO, March 1.—To-day a general review of troops stationed in the capital, was given in honor of Gen Grant and Sheridan, who stood on the balcony of the ambassador's hall at the palace as they marched past. The President and other high officers were with the American Generals, while the other balconies were crowded with ladies, including those of the visiting party. The troops were in excellent drill and marched to perfection, eliciting eulogies from Grant and Sheridan. The famous Rural Gu&rds, over one thousand strong, elicited particularly the admiration of the American party. Palace Square and the adjoining streets were thronged with people. —Reports come in by telegraph from municipal elections held on Monday as follows:

•-•Councilman Harris introduced an ordinance into the Council last night, regulating the licensing of auctioneers, which, as adopted, probides that a license for three months shall be $10 for six months, $15, and for one year. $35 that each person who shall sell goods by auction shall pay to the city one per cent, on all sales that every auctioneer shall keep a book upon which the entire sales %hall be entered, and that he make a report every day of the previous day's sales, and shall swear to the same as being correct that he shall give bond in tbe sum of $2,000, the place where the goods are to be sold is to be specified in the license, and before changing to another location, the consent of the Council must IK? obtained a book shall be dept upon which i» to be entered the true name of the owner of the goods to be sold.
This is an improvement on the ordi nance recently in force, but it is doubtful if this one will reach, as it should, the class of traveling merchants we have just had a sample of* in Deming block. Such parties ought to be tRxed $25 per da)' at least. The DAILY NEWS believes in pro tectiug home merchants, those who are identified with the interests of the city, those who spend here the money they make—who pay taxes, buy their living from other business men, and contribute of their means to public enterprises of a local character. If these traveling parties with their "bankrupt stocks'* were of ben eflt to the peaple, we might think otherwise, but we haven't the least idea that a single piece of goods of use and value was purchased at the late "bankrupt" sale a cent cheajwr than the same could have been bought at any of our home stores who keep the same class of goods.
Not only this, but the person who buys at a home store has a responsible party, with a reputation at stake, backing the representations made, while at the auc tion room the buyer has no such recourse. He buys, finds that he has been cheated, and "what will he do about it," or what can he? The seller will tell the buyer he examined the goods, and then fall back on the legal status of the case, know ing that the old law maxim, caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware," is enough for him. The "bargains" at these auctions all stand about in the same relation as those Mrs Toodles was wont to buy. The Council should follow the example of Columbus. Ohio, and many other cities, and tax these "bankrupt" traveling stores so heavily that they will pass by Terre Haute, and go West—to the territories, or anywhere.

TEKRE HAUTE, March 2.—'The talked-of coalition of the Democratic and National parties seems to have some foundation in fact. The program is for the Democrats to indorse B. JT Abbott, National candidate for Township Trustee, and, as a return of the compliment, the Nationals to the balance of the Democratic su
date for Township Trustee, and, as a re rn of I ipport ticket. Mr Kinser, one of the Democratic candidates for Trustee, now comes to the front and says the party promised him, in good faith, at the last election, that he should be their candidate this year, and he proposes to hold them to their promise, or know the reason why.
A second coalition between the above named parties on the subject of Congressman is generally understood here. For valuable services rendered by O, P. Davis in the election of Senator Voorhees to the Senate, he (Davis) is to Jiave the entire support of the Democracy in the district for Congress. Hon B. W. Hanna enters

Journal Editorial.
The putrid remains of the Democratic party in Yigo county are endeavoring to effect a coalition with th£ decaying corpse of the National party to the end that If possible they may capture and divide a few spoils. The so-called principles of both organizations look no higher than this. We trust the Republicans will not be tempted into any competition in this line, but when the coalition is complete will proceed to wipe out both parties together and thereby get rid of a doubleheaded monstrosity.

The question of what disposal shall be made of the funds from liquor licenses has been presented to both Prof Smart and the Attorney General. The same question will soon come before the Supreme Court, and It was once decided by Attorney General Busk irk. The present officers are of the opinion that all ssch funds should become either part of the permanent school fund or should be placed as formerly, In the State's revenue and l»e distributed to each county, although Bus kirk's decision waa that tbe funds were by their nature local and
