The people ofTerre Haute have thronged Main street several afternoons this week to see a man perform on a rope •while the wind was blowing almost a
These people, many of. them, seemed interested in the risk of the performer, bat the public would be better satisfied if there was a law, in some measure, protecting life and Hmb in such instances.
The probable death of a young girl from fall from a trapeze daring a circus performance In Philadelphia, day before yesterday, emphasizes early in the season, a point that should be taken up by the press of the country and pursued until -fmblic opinion will compell all circus companies and others performing acts in which there is risk to life and limb, to properly protect the performers. Trapeze and other performances at a height to make a fall dangerous, should include in the paraphernalia a strong netting stretched beneath the place of performance and close enough to render a fall harmless. There is such a law in some cities and States, and there should be such in all. In the absence of it ^public opinion could and should make such a regulation uni venial custom.
BDLL-DOZINO DEMOCRACY.
"The
Nkwh
wns informed to-day by the
chief of the fire department, that when accidents occurred in that department it was unnecessary for the Nkwr to comment upon it: and that he, with many others, would hold it responsible.
The Nkws holds itself responsible for whatever it says, and it further holds tho Democratic party responsible for whatever damage it causes So the tax-paying people through Its incumbents in office. We are inclined to think, however, that tho time is drawing near, 0! so very near, to their natural denth. that their contortions In death are most heart rending. We advise all good citizens, irrespective of party, to rally to the call of a good, houeat and economical city government, efficiently administered, resulting in the greatest good to the greatest ^number of citizens. The May election will write the epitaph over the Democratic grave, which will read as follows: "Here lies the putrid, dishonest remains of that being, who in life only lived, to be hated in death."
Hon. Wm. Uku.man says that Hon. O. S. Grth can get every German vote for Governor in the First district that would l»e cast for him. Mr. Heilman ought to know,, This being true, why the necessity of giving the First district to the Democrats in order that Hcihtmn shall make the race for Governor.—liepttb-
Mr. Heilman is no doubt quite correct in what he says. We know a quiet gentleman whuiu everybody knows, and in knowing whom everybody loves to honor and praise for his great generosity and many noble acts toward the poor and needy, and who would carry just as many and more German votes than either of the above named gentleman, and one who would cam* thousands of votes for Governor of this State that no other man would get. Hi* name is W. 1?. MrKeen.
Havino been urged by his many friends lor tw\or three months past. Mr. C. A. Powers has kindly consented to offer iiis name as a candidate for County Clerk. Mr. Powers is well known in this county a* a gentleman of high business and rnorj al standing. Although being a fventurkian by birth the major part of his life has been spent in Indiana, having removed to Uds State in 1856. He has (teen a stalwart Republican ever since his first vote was cast for Lincoln in t&W. Mr. Powers, together tvithjhis father and brothers, enii«?rd in the i'nion army at the breaking »'«u» of the war. Mr. himself servinir with err at credit in the 81st Ind. regiment, under Gen Cruft.
Ttik Glotic Democrat has started a boom for Grant and Key. It thinks such a ticket would he popular every where Anr ticket would he popular with G—D fool which has the name of Grant at its head. Krprt**.
We cannot understand .why the editor of the Express should ?*e so hostile to General Grant. Is it on account of the atune reason that the Democratic pre** give** Is it because he appointed so many bad and corrupt men to office during his administration? If #o, we would remind our step brother that he. to. sucked the administration teat under Grant.

The Senator and Representatives who may be elected from this county to the next Legislature ought to give attention to the subject of "Boiler Explosions at the proper time, and endeavor to arouse an interest thereon In the
Legislature. It a matter eminently
.. ill worthy of effort in the interest of human
week day Aprnoon, and delivered by jty and seience.—Ezpre*$. We congratulate our neighbor upon this happy suggestion. If we can get the
Democracy on the "Boiler Explosive" is sue, we have gdt them. It is a clean cut and an exhaustive issue, and we are giad to find the far-seeing and adroit editor ot the Express, this morning, give us four columns on it. We suggest that when our candidates for the Legisla ture take the stump, the following questions be propounded to them How are you on the "Boiler Explosive" question 7 Are you, or are you not in favor of "Boiler Explosions?" Is your Boiler Exploded, or are you sound? If the canuidate does not answer these questions properly, he must be de feated.
TO THE BEPUBLICAJTB OF VIGO COUNTY I have been solicited by quite a number of friends to allow my name to be used on the Republican ticket for Clerk of the Courts of Vigo county. I now make the formal announcement of my name for the place, subject to the decisipn of the Republican nominating convention. I am not a self seeking politician In any sense, but pledge myself to the people of Vigo if nominated and elected I shall make a record as Clerk that neither my friends or myself shall ever be ashamed of.
Very respectfully, C. A. Power.
Our neighbor, the Evening News, several days ago proposed the name of W. R. McKeen for the Republican nomination for Governor. It is well known that Mr. McKeen is not an aspirant for this or any there political office.—Expre»».
Men who are aspirants for office are not the men the people want. Wc think if Mr. McKeen was nominated his fidelity to the Republican party would preclude his non-acceptance. Many of the newspapers throughout the State have expressed themselves very favorably towards Mr. McKeen, and express themselves in conformity with tne News that with Mr. McKeen at the head of the Republican ticket the success of the Republican party would be assured.

Hon. Thomas Hanna, of Greencastlo, being In the house was called forward for a brief addrese and spoke about twenty minutes with great force and clearness. When he mentioned Blaine there was loud and tumultuous applause, and only a little lens when he eulogized Grant but dead silence when he referred to Hayes! And yet every man who can read and add a colurnu of figures, knows that Hayes has given us a far better administration than Grant did. and that Blaine has not yet shown great administrative ability, no matter what he may do in the future.
We can't understand, for the life of us, what the gallant Captain has been doing so long up in Parke that he can't infuse some sense in those people their understanding seems to lie "Granted."
Kentucky will march proudly into the Chicago convention and cast her vote for Grant. And that will be the last that will be heard of Kentucky until some of her Grant-enamored statesmen step to the front to recieve a share of the "spoils."— fixe hang a.
Out morning "step nrother" should read the above and 'pander well over his nasty little squibs when he speaks of great and good man, whom every hvntM and decent man should honor and revere, for it is a well known fact that he spells "pap" with a big P.
The Indianapolis Journal may ignore claims of General Straight for Governor as much as it pleases but the Republican would only suggest that the man who has the courage, "coolness, executive ability and talent to organize and tunnel out of prison, with no resources to depend upon, can and will, when he is aided by thousands of comrades and a host of friends, prove a formidable candidate for Governor.—Rcpubliran,
The candidates representing the Repub lican party most have higher recommendation than the mere reputation of having dug out of jail.
Hon. Galusha A. Grow is credited with the assertion that the Southern States will have to elect Grant, if he is elected at all.—Cincinnati Commercial.
We happen to know the cause of Mr. Grow'i aore-headednr.** he- don't like Grant because he didn't make him United States Minister to the Court of Bt Petersburg.
Tiik rumor that "Olden had withdrawn from the Presidential contest has no foundation, and is doubtless a hcxuL as that gentleman seems to be as muca in the list# as ever.

Two vary prominent litetary gentlpmen of thiacity have become somewhat! ptailed aa to the correctnaas of.their respective editions of Boras' poems. The controversy arises from the reading of the poein entitled. "A maa'a a nun for t' that"
In the London and American edit&ns that part of the poem in question begins as follows: "A prince can make a belted knight
A mxrqni*. duke antf that." In -the Edinburgh editions it is, "A king can make a belted knight

The point is, whether or not a prince the power to confer knighthood. Outside of the royal family, the first in point of rank is the Duke second, Marquis third, Earl and as there are but two classes of persons comprising the civil state in English history—nobility and common people, can any one except the sovereign confer such dignities.
Thero is no question but that these dignitaries arose from the' feudal system and that all such degrees of nobility and honor arise directly from the king, but cannot the king delegate such power to any of his subjects.
At a very early period in the history of the Anglo-Saxon people, any person who was himself a Knight coopd confer Kinghthood on whomsoever he those. Soon afterwards this power was restricted to the sovereign and his representatives. But all this was many years before the time of Robert Burns. And since that time it seems that upon several occasions the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland had delegated power from the sovereign to confer Knighthood.
The question is well worth the examination of every student of Robert Burns.
We suEjgest most kindly but resolutely to the Editor of the Express, that there is a city election approaching, and hope he will, at his elegant leisure, give it a little attention.

The yalue of whose products is counted by millions of dollars, feel their advantage over limited dealers more than ever before, for they can afford to! sell their merchandise at a much lower figure than small dealers can. Our belief remains unshaken, and we shall act upon it, that the best time to sell cheap is when others are selling dear that more fortunes hare been made by selling at low prices than at high prices and, finally, that the price tells, and every body tells the price, whether the price be high or low.
The fabrics from which we manufactured our spring and' summer stock were selected before the recent advance, which enables us to not only save our customers the middleman's profit, but also save them the recent advance that every small dealer had to pay for his goods.
We therefore take pleasure in announcing to our patrons that Men's, Youths', Boys' and Children's Olothing, Gent's Furnishing Goods of every shade and grade, will be retailed at last year's wholesale prices.
