By mail -pottage "paid by the Publisher) one month 45 cents three months $125 six months 2J0 one year $5.00. —M&H subscriptions in advance. THE NEWS AND EXPRESS. Dee* the Express Wanta Personal War!

Ha* the New» a Place!

We take pleasure in trying to show to the public that the Express is somewhat biased in its opinion as to whether the DAILT NEWS has a "mission" in this community or not, we therefore quote from the Express of to-day

The DAILY TKRKE HAUTE NEWS has suspended for want of sufficient patronage. The NEWS was a neatly printed and spicy little sheet. The misfortune was there was no room for the NKWJJ. We are not surprised by the suspension, but considering Seaman & Co. are practical printers, we were somewhat surprised that they should attempt to establish a new paper in a city which was already overstocked.

The above, taken from the Rockville Republican, shows that its proprietor and editor, 31. Keeney, Esq., takes the same view of the subject that the Express did, 31 r. K., is a veteran in the business and knows what he is talking about. We would not. however, by any means throw "cold water" on the new arrangement under which the NEWS is continued, but would encourage its new proprietor in his venture. The Republican party has this much stronger backing in this locality. The "more the merrier." The doctrine of the "survival of the fittest" will determine which «of the numerous papers of Terre Haute will continue to live and prosper, and which will "hand in their cheeks" when the "Winter of discontent" approaches. However it may be with others, the old Express will continue to exist, and it is hopen. also to prosper for an indefinite time in the future, as it has during the past 89 years. It is one of the fixtures and institutions of Terre Haute.

The Evansville editor of the Express seems to be somewhat excited over the fact that the DAILY NEWS did not die. The above item from the Express does not correspond exactly with the following from the Express of April 3.

The DAILY NEWS has been purchased by Emory P. Beaucliamp, Esq., of this city, and will lie published hereafter by him. Mr. J. 0. Hardesty, of tho Courier, will be temporarily the editor. The office has been removed to the second story of the building on the northwest corner of Main and Fifth streets, over Jauriet's store.

The politics of the NEWS will be Republican—"Stalwart with a big 8"—ac cording to the salutatory of the proprietor. published yesterday afternoon. Notwithstanding a back handed lick—a sort of love-tap. as it were—given to this paper by our frisky contemporary, the Express has none but the best wishes for its prosperity and long life. It is pertainly Indicative of success in the Republican party to see its ranks recruited by the resurrected NEWS, under the ownership of such a celebrated, talented and responsible gentleman as the late consul to Cologne. We welcome him to the journalistic ranks with our whole heart.

The DAILY NEWS gave to the public Its ^. first issue on the 10th of February. 1880. It was born to All a vacancy existing iu the public wants of this community for along time, namely an advertising medium, which would be withiu the reach of every one, on account of its cheapness. The founders of the NKWH saw fit to announce their intended suspension, giving their own reasons. The present proprietor recognized the fact that the country was just upon the eve of great political struggle, and that it behooves every true and loyal itir.cn to aid and assist his country in time of need, and thought it his duty, as a Republican of the stalwart kind, to spring to the front and lend a helping hand, he therefore purchased the NKWS in time to save the omission of a single copy* We think that there is a place in this community for the NEWS that has loug been vacant, and the NEWS can and will till that vacancy. The Republican party has been without an organ for a long while, and we intend to give it one in the Dally Tern Hau«e New*. The New# was reborn on the SMst of last month at 10 o'clock, She was baptised under the Republican banner and is christened with the mission of representing the Republican party in this county. The NEWS has come to stay, at Wast until she has performed her mission. The NEWS does not cqme among the Republican* of this county tagging alms to assist In advocating its principle®. It Is the champion of human right* and will advocate its principles under all circumstance*, ever trying to merit the esteem and patronage of a just public.

I«et us see which of the daily papers in this city will live the longest, and during their natural lives (under the present management) do the general public the greatest g»nd.

Rkmkx&kk the great campaign of 1890 opens at our April elections, and we must commence the tight like soldier* who go in to win There must be no stragglers In oar rank* To the polk, and victory?

THZ AXKVDKEim.

We take it as a fixed fact, that all the members of the Republican party throughout the State, will, on next Monday, vote "Yes" on all the constitutional amendments. The Nationals we presume will vote tcatUring, as they are just now in a rather scattering condition. That the members of the Democratic party are much mixed up on the amendments. Is apparent The better portion of them voting "Yea," while the "ragtag and bobtail" will generally vote "No." In this county so far as we are able to discover, the leading Democrats are for the amendments and are outspoken in their favor. The street corner demogogue— the pot house politician—the leader at ward meetings, and the generally presumptions nincom-poop are sgainst them.

Every one knows that the amendments are intended, in the main, to give us a more honest and proper election. Every one knows that the general well-being of the entire community will be advanced, if all the amendments are accepted. Every one knows that all the opposition which has been arrayed against them springs from the basest consideration of partisan feelings. We hazard the opinion, that there is not an honest man, one influenced by proper motives for the best interests of the people of this State, who is opposed to all these amendments. No good citizen can be opposed to them. They were conceived and brought forward by the best men in both parties in the State. They were recommended by two Democratic Governors, and endorsed by Democratic United States Senators. They are advocated be every prominent Repub lican in the State, and on Monday will receive the solid Republican vote.

It is evident then, that the opposition to these constitutional amendments is to be found only among the worst element in the Democratic party—an element, too, whidlt is seeking to defeat them in order to advance individual and personal interests.

Under this state of our surroundings we call upon all good men to come forward and support these constitutional amendments. They are right, and will be for the best interest of all of us while living, and advance the happiness and prosperity of our children when we are gone.

THE DEMOCRATIC POLICE.

We suggest to the Democratic Common Couucil the appointment of an additional police force, and that stations be established along Main street, in which card tables, dice boxes and dominoes be^urnished for their special amusement. These station rooms should also be supplied with good soft and warm beds, on which the elegant official could retire, when tired of cards or drowsy from an excess of potations. We must take good care of our city police if every cent in the treasury is necessary to accomplish it. They should iiot be disturbed in their midnight slumbers, and when a mob of thieves and burglars march up and down Main street, destroying property and stealing goods, as citizens we should insist that as little noise be made as possible, so that the slumbers of our dear guardians of the public interests, be not in the least disturbed. This throwing of stones by the mob through splendid plate glass, is naughty, and we beg the midnight thieves to have pity on us, and suspend. We have no resistance to offer, but our supplications. For goodness sake, Messrs. Thieves & Burglars, don't throw any more stones through our plate glass. We admit that you have the freedom of the city, but we urge you in the name of justice and right, if you have to rob, rob our Democratic Mayor, our Democratic Council, and pitch into the Democratic party generally. It is the great party of law, order and reform, and if you pitch a few stones into it, nobody will complain. And we now give official notice to all thieves, murderers and robbers that the retiring time of our police is 10 o'clock sharp, and rising time 8 a. m. Between those hours the streets will lie clear, and all thieves will have unmolested freedom.

Q&AVS ROBBERS.

The robbery of graves has become so common in Michigan, where a number of medical colleges exist, that extraordinary measures have been taken to prevent the remains of the dead from being taken from their last resting place. At a recent burial of a gentleman in Birmingham. Michigan, the following extraordinary measures were taken to prevent the resurrection of the dead. After the body had been lowered, the minister said: **I am requested by these sons, who have brought their fathers body to this sacred place, to say that an unusual rite will follow. Recent events compel us to believe that there are human beings fiendish enough to despoil the sacred resting places of our dead, and to deserve the execration of all good people. The sons now propose to take such measures as. they hope, will secure the undisturbed repose of their father's remains, and as will with absolute certainty insure the bodily annihilation of any who attempt to interfere. After the benediction they will remove the coffin lid and place packages of oitro glycerine around the body. The two persons who will do this are gentlemen vrhose business has accustomed them to the use of this dangerous explosive they will therefore handle it with perfect safety. But should any one desire to withdraw, they can do so without giving: offense."

THE DADLT News seems to have a "place" from the 50 additional subscribers since yesterday.

THE Express asks "Can any one tell us where the McCfcxre library isf*",B Yes, we .can. It is nowhere. It is "gone where the woodbine twineth," and has been there for about 30 years.

WE ere happy to learn that the Express contains another one of those "excellent letters," in which the "beauties of Washington are described in graphic language." As the news contained in these letters is generally about one week old, they must be moat "excellent" to the editorial mind.

T&E proprietor of the DAILT NEWS desires to return his thanks to J. O. Hardesty, of the Saturday Cou.ier, for the as sistance rendered on the first two issues under our management, and regret that his duties a* editor of the Courier prevent him from giving further assistance to the NE W S

THE export trade figures at New York, this week, have abetter look than f6r some time past The total is $7,291,412, against $6,734,971 corresponding week last year. There has been a very marked increase in the shipment of breadstuffs and provisions, but still the total is largely behind the imports. It is to be* noted, however, as a healthy sign, tha^he withdrawal of goods from warehouses throughout the month have been about equal to the quantities entered, tnus showing a demand for actual consumption sufficient to prevent undue accumulations of any description of merchandise. This is a consideration which must have an important bearing on Summer and Autumn trade as the year advances.

Two most important amendments to be voted for on next Monday: AMENDMK?TT NO 1.

Amend section two of article two so as to read as follows: "Section 2. In all elections not otherwise provided for by this Constitution, every male citizen of the United^States of 'the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall nave resided in the State during the six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 80 days immediately preceding such election, and every male of foreign birth of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided in the United States one year, and shall have resided in the State during the six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 30 days immediately preceding said election, and shall have declared nis intention to become a citizen of the United States, conformably to the laws of the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitled to vote in the township or precinct ^here he may reside, if he shall have been duly registered according to law."

No Democrat, National or Republican can be opposed to this amendment if he favors reform and a pure ballot-box. The heavy Democratic majorities in the southern counties of Indiana have been made up largely of "Kentucky Repeaters," and without "Repeaters," it would be very difficult for the Bourbon element to get a majority, and they very well know that Democratic defeat means reform.

Judge Patterson in his interview with the correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, expressed the sentiments of the respectable element of the Democratic party as to the amendments, when said he was in favor of this amendment because it was the steppine stone to reform and the purity of the ballot-box.

Governors Baker and Hendricks had each recommended that such an amendment be submitted to the people of Indiana, and it now*remains to oe seen whether the "sore eyed ward politicians and Bourbon demagogues" shall defeat this measure of purity and reform. The next most important amendment is .*•

AMENDEKNT NO. 9,*^*

No political or municipal corporation in this State shall ever become indebted, in any manner, or for any purpose, to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the value of the taxable property within said corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness, and all bonds of obligations in'excess of such amount given by such corporations shall be void provided that in time of war, forat public calam-

erty owners, tn number and vtuue, wimin the limits of such corporation, the" public authorities, in tlieir discretion, may incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense, to such amounts as may be requested in such petition.

This is another amendment that should be voted for by every man. There should be no partisan feeling in voting for an amendment which puts a quietus on schemes of public p?under, and every man who is in favor of the best interests of himself and neighbor, will go to-the polls on next Monday and vote for this amendment, and thereby kill all the rings and cliques that have infested the larger cities and towns all over the State for years. If this amendment had been passed years ago, our State would have been millions of dollars better off to-day.

The Republicans of Indiana have a deep interest in the result of the election on next Monday. All the amendments are important, hut Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 9 are of vital importance.

So Bad Habits.

A young man who was at home on a brief vacation was overheard in conversation with his mother, who expressed some soLieitudeconcernrag him. Seeking to allay her fears he said, "You needn't be alarmed for me. I haven't a single bad habit I don't smoke, nor chew, nor drink, nor lie, nor steal, nor swear." God keep that young man. May be be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might Let him thatstandeth take heed lest he falL It is a great deal, in these days, for a young man to be able to say in truth what that young man said. It is a great thing for a young man not to have a angle baa habit Ana

Jeavor

et this should be the aim and the enof every young man. He should form no bad habit And if he has been so unwise as to form any, he should hastten to break off from it whatever it may be. A bad habit is a bad thing. And why should a young man cling to a bad thing He should neither smoke, nor chew, nor drink, nor lie, nor steal, nor swear, nor gamble, nor enter her doors whose house is the way to hell, leading to the chambers of death, nor break the 8abbath, nor scoff at religion, nor practice any immorality, for all these are bad things. He should carefully give heed to the admonition of the wise man: "Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of the evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, and pass away." Rather should he walk in the wavs of wisdom, which are pleasantness, ana in her paths which are peace. Thus will he have the approbation of his conscience, the esteem of all good men, and the favor of God. He will be a fer happier man than if he walks in sinful paths.

How to Cook Hominy*

Every cook will promise you she can do this, but it is quite safe to say that not one in fifty will. Indeed, people live to old ape in this, our famous corngrowing region, without having ever tasted well cooked hominy. It is usually started well enough, but stirred so often and so vigorously that the grains, instead of standing out snowy and well-done, yet round and separate, are mingled in one gluey mass. Having once seen and tasted the former, you will never be reconciled to the latter. Try to prepare it in this way: A quart of ground-hominy well in

put over the fire and oover well with water do not allow it to boil rapidly, and if the fire is a sufficient one for baking, it is better to keep a lid beneath it. It cannot be hurried, and here is where many fail in its preparation. After the grains swell and begin to soften, on no account stir it. The water put in at first should be suffioteut to finish it, but if there has been too little, add more, carefully, that it may be just enough and not too much, thus matrfng your almost perfect dish sloppy. Do not salt it until just before taking from the stove. Early salting will make it dark. If it could be cooked in a double vessel, the outer one containing boiling water, so tnnch the better for both hominy and cook. Such vessels save the care of constant watch* ing. Care and experience must always go together toward the making of aCberfectly cooked dish, and nothing gives better satisfaction.

Appalling Salabrity.

A young gentleman and his blushing bride, who were recently married in Phil* adelphia, called the next week at an apartment-house and were shown the flat that was to let by the loquacious person who officiates as janitor. This estimable woman, who would appear to be a good motherly soul, went on to illustrate now very healthy the house happened to be. "Therelwas Mrs. on the first floor she came here a bride and went away with three children, as pretty little things

ever I saw,mem. And there was Mrs. ——, the second, who had a little son born to her here, mem, and fourteen months after a little daughter. And, mem, the third floor, she was a bride, Vx, mem, and it was twins, mem, within a year. If you please, mem, I am the, mother of four of the darlingest" "Thanks," said the bridegroom, from whom I gleaned this interesting anecdote "after all, I think it would be better to go a little farther up-town. And he led Uie bride—"blushing again"—into the open air and out of the healthy neighbor-hood.—-Boston Sunday Times.

One

of the Duties of a Teacher.

The teacher who, each day, hears his classes recite in exactly the same man

ner

that he did the day before, falls far short of his duty. He should not onjy prepare upon the subject he is teaching, but he should strive to present these subjects by as many new and interesting methods as possible. How few teachers there are who Can give any other reason for teacnfng as they do, than that thus they themselves *vre taught The special training of teachers will assist them, but it will still be necessary to be constantly on the alert for some means by which they may improve their method of teaching. In fact, those teachers are best trained who are thoroughly imbued with the idea that they most and will find some wajr to make the subjects interesting to their pupils. Teachers should realise that there is something interesting and exciting in every branch of study, and if the pupil dislikes a certain branch, it is not the fault of the branch, but of the teacher.

A curious circumstance is «aid*to have occurred in a silk factory of M. Garibaldi at Cremona. It is positively stated that in that flwrtory a quantity or silk-worms, instead of forming a cocoon as usual, actually wove a kind of silk ribbon of the breadth of ten inches and the length of upwards of twelve feet In the course of the inquiries made on the matter, it has been elicted that a similar phenomenon, only on a much larger scale, took place at Alexandria, in 1833, in the silk factory of Dr. Gilo, where the silk worms wove a ribbon two inches broad and upwards of sixty feet in length, part of which is now preserved in the Museum of Natural History at Turin.

Bales for Hoa

From your children's earliest in&ncy, Inculcate the necessity of instant obedience.

Unite firmness with gentleness. Let your children always understand that you mean what you say.

Never promise them anything unless you are quite sure you can give them what you say.

If you tell a little child to do some* thing, show him how to do it, and see that it is done.

Always punish your children for wilfully disobeying you, but never punish them in anger.

Never let them perceive that they vex

iper

gently reason with them on ihe impropriety of their conduct Remember that a tittle preeect puniahraent when the occasion arises is much mors effectual than the threatening of a greater punishment should the fault bo renewed.

Never give your children anything because they cry for it On no account allow them to do at one time what you have forbidden, under the same circumstances, at another.

Teach them that the only sure and easy way so appear good is to be good. Accustom them to make their little recitals withperfect truth.

Never allow of tale-bearing, Teach them self-denial, not self-indui-gence of angry and reseutfbl spirit

The Daughter at Home.

Do not think that because there comes to you no great opportunity of performing a wonderfbl work, you will let the thousand little ones pass you unimproved. It is no small thing to be the joy of the domestic circle—the one whose soft touch and gentle, fitly spokeu words avert disturbance and make alien matters understand each other. It is no small thing to possess the happy tact which makes people pleased with themselves, and which insensibly urges peoj pie to appear their best The young woman who is gifted with tills sweet grace of touch, the swiftness of sympathy, aud this beautiful unselfishness, may not have a fair face, nor a trim figure, but she will be endowed with a dignity more winning than either.

The screech thai followed aroused her sleeping husband,' who crossly avowed that he didn't believe that it was a mouse at all. But he changed his mind when he jumped into bis trousers and discovered that the animal had taken refuge in one of his pantlegs after leaving his wife's shoe.
