A BAR TO HONORING HENDRICKS.
One good and sufficient, reason why tlie statue of Thomas A. Hendricks should not grace the remaining place belonging to Indiana in Statuary hall is that Air. Hendricks' life was more throughly representative of the Democratic, party than of Indiana. He was a great man hut ho was great as a Democratic leader rather than as a loyal citizen of Indiana. In fact, Mr. Hendricks was entirely out of all sympathy with some of the most magnificent achievements of this state and took no pride in what constitutes the most glorious page of Indiana's history—her patt in the Great Rebellion. A little incident in the personal history of Air. Hendricks will suffice to illustrate the point. When the coiner stone of the present state house was laid, Air. Hendrcks was the orator of the occasion arid with matchless eloquence he reviewed the history of the commonwealth, dwelling with glowing detail on each great epoch in tlae commonwealth's history except her part in the Rebellion. Of this magnificent record he made not the slightest mention, damning Indiana patriotism and the Indiana soldiers by completely ignoring Hieni. The omission was accentuated by the fact that the spot on which he spoke was the site of the old state house where many stirring war scenes had been enacted. In the old building Governor Morton had done his magnificent work and in the yard the departing soldiers had been preesnt.ed with their regimental flags and there those that survived the storm of war were received upon their return, tjieir shot torn colors being furled and put away in the old state house. The slight aroused a storm ot protest all over the state but never one word of apology or explanation did Air. Hendricks vouchsafe. He simply had no use for the Indiana soldiers and regretted that part Indiana- had borne in putting down the war. He was a great genius, a brilliant orator, and a princely party leader but he is not the man for Indiana to honor in Statuary Hall.
It is said that the grand jury at Indianapolis may indict a number of coal operators for combining to hold up the publie and the News, of that city insists that evidence is not wanting to show them guilty of the charges. The operators however, protest a lamb-like innocency and indignantly deny the allegations made against them. Just to all'ord them an opportunity to vindicate themselves^ it might not be a bad plan to indict them and give them a fair an$l impartial trial where all the facts would come to light. Thus might they be set right in the eyes of an accusing people.
It is said that certain of the city councilmen actually cling to the hope of forcing through the obnoxious park steal purchase. So strong is public opinion on this matter that he who advocates this measure brands himself as a corruptioni«t. While some of the councilmen have originally given a careless and unthoughted assent to the preposterous proposition they have been thoroughly undeceived by this time and could offer an indignant public no earthly excuse for supporting the iniquity.
The Indianapolis NeAvs publishes an .article to the effect that Governor Durbin is casting about to find a new board for the Jefl'ersonville reformatory. This is highly improbable. It may be taken for granted that if the present board is removed it Avill be because of a compact., for its places, signed and scaled before the introduction of the notorious ripper bill. If Governor Durbiu is left alone by his '"friends" he will let th« reformatory board alone.
South Carolina has a magnificent opportunity to prove to the world that a white man, who commits a brutal and wilful murder, shall sutler the penalty for his crime. A negro who acted as Tillman acted would undoubtedly be hanged and the country 'would endorse the action of the courts. Will South Carolina allow a- mau to go unpunished simply because a white skin hides a black heart?
The coal operators are having their tribulations now and their trials will come later. However, there is always sunshine on the darkest day and there was enough yesterday for the groundhog to sec his shadow. Six more weeks of winter will go far toward makng the coal men look on the bright

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.
Perils of Travel.
The "accident bulletin" just issued by the Interstate Com merce Commission carries the grim record along through the months of July, August, and September, last year. Of course, the killings and mannings on railroads not engaged in interstate commerce find no place in it.
The roads that cross state lines report 2,448 accidents in three months covered. In 1,434 of these, trains bumped or smshed together in 1,014, trains left the rails.
Fifty-one passenger trains suffered in collisions, and 92 in the derailments. Seventy-nine passengers were killed in the three months, and 1,009 were hurt. The total number of trainmen killed was 408 hurt, 5,427. The total number of railroad servants (all sorts) killed and 766 hurt, 9,193.
footnote informs us that "accidents to employes resulting in slight injuries which do not prevent the employe from performing his accustomed service for more than tlu'ee days in the aggregate during the ten days immediately following the accident are not reported."' We see that 29 passengers wore killed and 3o9 hurt in falls—a rather impressive warning against the folly of taking avoidable risks in getting on or oti the cars. We notice that, while 52 railroad servants were killed and 584 hurt in coupling or uncoupling cars, 161 were killed and 1,705 hurt in falls. The old story familiarity with danger, overconfidence, carelessness, a misstep or slip, and the Mirgeon or the undertaker.
The railroad companies report that the accidents of the three months damaged their rolling stock, roadbeds, etc., to the extent of $2.1SS9,512.
The forgetting by conductors of written orders in their pockets caused four of the accidents malicious human wickedness caused three. Here's the story of another: ''A freight train was sidetracked and the "whole of the-crew-—having been on duty twenty-four hours—fell asleep. Oh awakening, these men thought or assumed that the two trains wlTicli theywere expecting had passed them when, in fact, one of the two was vet to come." The worst of all the quaiters accidents is wholly unexplained. An excursion train, running at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, jumped the track: 21 passengers were killed. All of them,"it is noted, were at the time on the car platforms. Investigation failed to bring to light any defect in track, engine, or cars. "The cause oT the derailment is reported as uiytiscoverable," not© the commissioners.
Bad Spelling.
When was the last spelling book published? Have our youth outgrown the use of that once important text book? It would seem oftentimes, from their ignorance of the rules of spelling and their arrangement of the" letters in words, that they disdained the practice of good orthography. It is all very well to talk about some people being natural spellers and some being poor spellers. There are faults of ear, which are hard Jo overcome but eyes can be trained to correct these faults and decent spelling, under all circumstances, at least from, every graduate of the grammar grade should be demanded.
It is a. fact of observation, explain it how you will, that pupils who have taken prizes for scholarship in grammar schools of good standing cannot write a letter free of blunders in spelling: another fact, that pupils in high schools, remarkably w»ll read for their years, are guilty of gross errors in spellings still another that pupil^ who have the wit and brains aiuf-M^^lto^ write a charming letter, misspell abominably: and yet another, that boys seeking entrance to colleges of first rank, able to pass examinations in mathematics and science, spell after the fashion of "witch.
Electric Railway Speed.
The regular speed of electric railway in the countryside is engaging the attention of tlie authorities in some of the states. The fatalities occurring fn these lines are due principally to grade crossings and to the immoderate speed of the cars in descending hills. The rapidity with which trolley cars may be run is subject to local regulation.: ~It is not recalled that there are any general acts touching the matter in force anywhere, though caution in the management of electric street car lines has been urged upon the companies by the state authorities to whom the reports of strain and eiectric railroads are made. The superintendent of the Pennsylvania bureau of railways has in one or more reports called attention to the reckless operation of street railways. The loss of life chargeable to the electric roads in 1902 in United States is great, relatively, to the casualties on the steam roads. The deaths from steam railroad accidents during the year numbered 3,105, and 475 persons were killed and 2,144 seriously injured in electric car accidents. v-
Renaissance of the Banjo.
It is cheering to observe that the banjo after a long period of neglect and indifference, due in part to the decadence of the negro minstrel's art and in part to.the advent of tinkling mandoTins and strumming piano appendages, which are much easier to learn, is now entering upon a new era. It may soon resume its old place in the public favor and regain the popularity which it enjoyed when such artists as Schoolcraft and West picked its strings.

ONE THOUSAND MEN
READY TO JOIN A VENEZUELA COLONY
HAVE MILITARY TRAINING
Missourians Will Reclaim American Citizenship But Live in South American Republic.
JOPLIX, Mo., Feb. 3.—The Venezuela company of this city has secured the. services of over 1,000 men of- military training for Venezuela colonization purposes. Capt. Frank Eberle, an official of the Venezuela company, in an. inter view today said: "The Venezuela company is corresponding with the Venezlelan government regarding a colonization company, which we will take to Venezuela on certain conditions. We want a land grant for our colonists. If Venezuela agrees to our terms, which she probably will, she can soon have an army of 1,000 or more vigorous American colonists. We have secured men of military training for two reasons, because such men are amenable to discipline and are easily handled, and because men of military training would be more desirable in that country just now. In going to Venezuela we will retain our American citizenship, for we al hope to return to the United States.
The American colony is being organized somewhat on the plan of the Hudson's Bay company, and military discipline will prevail. The men desirous of going 'to Venezuela would prove valuable to any country in war as well as in peace, having been in the regular and volunteer service of the United States army and navy and the national guard. Many of them were officers, some having been majors and colonels. Most of them saw service in the Philippines and some of them served in the Boer war in South Africa. They are the cream of the country, and are all full of fight. Even several Gennans and Canadians who want to go are in sympathy with Venezuela.
A JILTED GIRL WANTS ALIMONY
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—Though he is said to be an heir to a $200,000,000 estate, Miss Maud Williams asks only $50,000 of Edward Clark Corey in a suit she has brought charging breach of promise to marry. Corey claims to be a descendant of Sir Francis Brake. Miss Williams' lawyer says two weeks ago Corey-went to Ohio to attend a reunion of the heirs of the Corey—Drake estate, for he is the agent of the heirs in this country, and that a few days ago Miss Williams received a short, curt letter from him saying that he was going east and would not return for four weeks. That wras long after the dfite set for the wedding.
C'4j» ey, according to friends, has established a complete chain of evidence to the Drake fortune. Corey, it is said, estimates his personal share at $5,000,000.
Foundry Destroyed by Fire. CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—A fire which started in the foundry of the Chicago railway supply foundry company at West Harvey last night destroyed the plant, causing a loss estimated at over $225,000.
GOOD ADVICE.
If your children are subject to croup you should never be without a bottle of Harts' Honey and Horehound in the house. It is a sure and speedy cure for croup and we have never known it to fail. If you give it as soon as hoarseness appears, it will prevent croup in every instance. Mothers should remember this as Harts Honey and Horehound has saved the lives of many children subject to croup when nothing else gave relief. There is no danger in giving this medicine to small children in large or frequent doses. Sold by Baur'g Pharmacy.- -'fv plplilll

Idiior Tribune: The three very thoughtful communications in your paper ot last evening go to show that the people feel a greax nweresi in the matter of extending our street railway franchise.
It is a matter "of very great importance to Terre Haute and its future population, and requires no haste on the part of the city—better go slow and hear from the people—they may have much to say regarding the actions of the company that ask the extension of this valuable franchise they may have something to say about the unduo haste they showed in tailing possession of the grade, rearm? to give the people a chance to think and act they spent the hours of tile night and Sabbath day entrenching themselves knowing they had received great value for nothing, and delay would be dangerous, the people might enter their protest in shape of an injunction.
The rates of fares and manner of selling tickets to the people are matters of too grave import to be settled by a few votes, at this date, for the people of the next generation.
This company is here for the sole purpose of making millions out of our people. There are many more points to touch upon and it will be done if the people are allowed time to do so, and hast'e in this matter will cause suspicion.
No other city in Indiana should secure better service and lower rates and more convenient methods of selling tickets than this city of Terre Haute, whose future now lookes so bright and cannot well be over-estimated, LEX.
RISEN FROM THE DEAD
"Divine Healer" Schlatter Re-Appears and Says He Will Prove His Claims.
CHICAGO, 111., February 3—Frank Schlatter, "divine" healer and self-con-stituted reincarnated Christ, who was notorious live years ago all over the country and who wfls supposed to have been murdered in Mexico, is in Chicago and very much alive.
Moreover. Schlatter is married and with his wife, formerly Laverna Comer, a. Chicago faith Ii^xler, is about to go back to Denver, the scene of his c'.iief works, there to face the people who declared him an impostor and to prove to them that he is in very truth all that he ever claimed to be. Denver people, it is said, will be dumfounded when they learn that Schlatter is in the flesh. An exploring party found his outfit in a Mexican valley four years ago, and with it what were supposed to be his bones, whitening in the sun. The healer, in his Denver days, fell little short of making the claim that he could raise the dead. There are thousands of people who a few years ago accepted him as a true prophet and who will believe from the story of his re-appearance, that he has verily been raised from the dead.
Jim Crow Cars in Kansas. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. Feb. 3—The bil introduced in the Missouri legislatur by Colonel Crisp of Kansas City, providing for "Jim Crow" cars on all railway lines does not meet with the approval of the colored people. Prayer meetings were held in nearly every hamlet and town in the state last night, the object of which is to supplicate God that the bill may meet defeat. As many of the colored are so employed that they cannot attend until late, all night prayer meetings are held in the larger cities.

I hdd my urine examined, the doctor found it highly colored, with considerable .brick-dust, and pronounced it Bright's disease. I had little faith in his prescriptions and. soon changed, taking some greatly advertised Kidney Cures but with unsatisfactory results until I used Warner's Safe Cure. Within ten days I felt greatly relieved, the pain gradually decreased and soon disappeared, the urine
within four months my health was fully and completely restored. I have now enjoyed good health for over four years and indorse Warner k,aie Cure as the one infallible remedy for kidney trouble.
