TERRE HAUTE, IND., THURSDAY FEBRUARY 19, 1903.
leading newspaper of the south reads the riot act to Mr. B^yan and informs him that the southern states, which are the Only Democratic states remaining, have concluded to forsake him and his theories, sagely concluding with the dictum that he might as well accept retirement gracefully. Mr. Bryan, it is needless to remark, will do nothing of the kind. He will not retire either gracefully or otherwise and the reorganizes might as well make up their minds in advance that they will have the doughty Nebraskan to contend with. And he is still full of sour sap and ginger.
Senator Thompson's primary bill has been revamped and re-adjusted until it seems in shape suitable to the representafives of the several cities concerned. Its provisions are for the most part equable and fair and there is no doubt that if applied to Vigo county it would serve to correct many of
the rank abuses that now obtain. Possibly it might be well to ask oor incorporation in the bill.
The school supply commission bill's friends have proved pretty conclusively that such a law would save the taxpayers of the state considerable money but it is a shame-faced confession of the inadequacy of the township reform law and a noisy plea of guilty to the charge that our people are unequal to the, tasjt of local self government..

Behind the fact of the defeat ol' tli« bill to clect county superintendents by popular vote, there was a principle which should commend itelf to iutuio legishitures. "p.e friend* of the bill were able to .produce arguments to prove that popular elections would result in th^ selection of as good men for the position as were plnced'ih ofiico under he' existing regime and it is possible that under ordinary circumstances the bill might have gone through. Hut the Republican leaders objected to the measure on the ground that it proposed to interfere with something for which the people had voted. In 1900 the Democrats clected the great bulk of the township trustees of the state and thus secured control of the boards of education in mat of the counties. Strong Republican counties will have Democratic superintendents after next June and the Democrats will be given a considerable prestige they do not now enjoy. Hy passing the bill providing for popular elections the Republicans could have retained this power and, of course, the temptation was great. That they refrained from doing so is eminently to the credit of the party, which has ever insisted on the recognition of the people's will as expressed in popular elections.
The prfiminenece with which the name of Clarence Darrow is mentioned in connection with the Chicago mayoralty may well alarm the citizens of that metropolis. While a man of godd character he is nevertheless dangerous as the advocate of certain insane and pernicious doeti-ines. Mr. Darrow believes that anarchists have a perfect right to promulgate their impossible heresies and has repeatedly declared that the punishment of the Reds convicted of murder in Chicago some years ago, was an outrage. He has written articles assailing the establishment and maintenance of penitentiaries and jails and calls them relics of barbarism. He would cure crime by patting the criminal on the head and advising him to be good. He is a theorist and a dreamer, wholly unpractical and totally unfit to hold any executive, judicial, or legislative position. As ttiayor of Chicago he would prove a social curse.
The Indianapolis health officers report that since September 12 there have been 527 cases of smallpox reported in that city and there have been 72 fatal cases. While these figures do not tally with the sensational reports circulated regarding the prevalence of the disease in Indianapolis, the per cent, of mortality is sufficiently alarming to warrant the health authorities of every town in the state taking the most drastic measures to prevent the disease from obtaining' a foothold. The article of smallpox that is in evidence this year is far different from that which merely vexed the state in the two or three years previous.
Poultney Bigelow has broken out again and
this time not only predicts war with (Germany but insists that we shail be quickly and thoroughly whipped. While his contribution* to the literature of the age are always interesting Mr. Bigelow has so overworked his scares that he is an alarmist who no longer alarins.
The selection of John W. Foster as a member of the Alaskan boundry commission is an eminently wise and fitting one. Mr. Foster is a shrewd and trained statesman, thoroughly ieied in international law, and one who it in every way qualified to look after the interests of the United States.
Mr. Bryan's much talked of "Call To Anns," published in the chaste columns of the Commoner, appears to be, When stripped of its verbiage and hot air, ft lusty call on his followers to renew subscriptions. Mr. Bryan is not the first country editor to emit

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.
Drunkenness in French Army.
At a time when the new licensing act is attracting a great deal of attention in England the efforts which are being made by the commander-in-chief of the French troops in Indo-China to suppress drunkenness •will be read with interest. According to mail advices just received General Coronnat, in a recent order of the day, expressed his regret that, notwithstanding the warnings which had been given the troops as to the serious effects drinking habits had upon their health, there was a very small diminution in the number of cases of insobriety which the authorities had to deal with. With a view of stamping out the evil, which was particularly grave in the colonies, the general ordered that any .soldier who from that day was punished with imprisonment for insobriety was to wear, when on leave or service in town, the big winter cape when the troops were wearing their ordinary, overcoats in winter, and the blue overcoat when the troops were Avearing their white coats in summer. The punished men were to wear this distinctive dress for as many days as they had been confined to cells, and any drinking establishment which supplied them with liquor during this
period,
Mexico's Military Ambition.
The army and navy of the republic of Mexico are undergoing the greatest transformation in their history. From the border to Yucatan and from the Pacific to the gulf coast the republic will soon be a vast parade ground for troops and marines. Quietly, but rapidly, the government is carrying to completion comprehensive plans which will make Mexico one of the strongest military powers for her area on the globe. Within a year or two at most President Diaz will be able to mobilize on short notice nearly 200,000 wellequipped and well-drilled soldiers. He desires to make Mexico a nation of warriors, therefore in nearly 11,000 public schools

Aids to Imagination.
The human mind is so constructed—speaking with all respect to senior wranglers and men of like ability—that it is unable to realize bare figures when they exceed a certain very moderate sum. As a consequence. those people whose task it is to bring home elaborate figures to the public are wont out of the fullness of their appreciation of the weakness of the human intellect, to express the figures by familiar and often more or less ludicrous metaphors. Mr. Sidney Holland the other day unfolded the number of miles to which the pills dispensed at the London Hospital in one year would extend, and he no doubt brought home to his hearers and readers the inimitable benefits conferred by the hospital. But the method is more commonly used in popular science tlyin in economic We were told, for example, the other preciate. the size of the sun was to put into it, imagination, the earth, and the moon.

Yesterday's Brazil Democrat contains the following: "The Terre Haute papers seem to be very sore over the way the Poly hoodlums were treated by the police in this city last Friday night. The papers take their spite out on Brrtzil by calling the city jail where the sophomores were confined "a filthy cell" when in fact it is one of the cleanest .places of the kind anywhere and several hundred percent, cleaner than anything Terre Haute can boast of. The jail has a cement floor and is scrubbed out nearly every morning ana disenfectant liberally used. The Poly hoodlums wrere in no danger of getting dirty or contracting a disease in the jail, but they made it filthy. "The Terre Haute Express seems determined not to let the matter drop and harps about it every d'ay to fill up space. The Express says.it was the first touch Brazil has had of real city life for a long time. The Express can class Terre Haute* with such sleepy cemeteries as Greencastle, Crawfordsville, Bloomington and others, but excuse us. "This matter of class fights" and haziSf is a relic of the darker ages, of gladiators, etc., but Terre Haute thinks IE is something new and the papers of that town'1 encourage it. The professor of their one sleeply little institute also evidently thinks it is "weally smart." "In the interest of a suffering public we Would advise the Express to discontinue such sloppy nonsense.

STUDENTS ASSESSED
PAY THEIR SHARE TO APPEASE BRAZIL HOTEL
WAS COSTLY WIGHT OF FUN
The Affair is Getting Wide Circulation and the Melee is Distantly Known About.
The freshmen and sophomore classes of the Rose Polytechnic institute have held meetings at the institute this week to arrange the final settlement of the Brazil mix up. The freshmen promised Proprietor Nicholas of the Davis House to pay for all damage done and an assessment of $20 was made on the class the first part of the week.
The sophomore class, which is the smal ler of the two, has assessed a tax of $1.25 iper capita on its members. Whatever money remains after the $30 ransom is paid to the Brazil police department will be turned over to the Modulus fund. There was a rumor afloat that after Herbert Watkins, president of the sophomore class had given his personal check for $50 to the. Brazil police he stopped payment and that the Brazil officers are now awaiting the pleasure of the students. air. Watkins says, however, that he merely stopped payment until he could arrange with the freshmen so that they would not pay for damaged furniture after the check was cashed. The check on the First National bank was then released for payment whenever the Brazil people desired to collect.
News of the fight and arrest of 24 students has spread throughout he country and is a subject of considerable news^•at'er comment. The Greencastle Banifet Says: '•The Brazil and Terre Haute newspapers are engaged in an inky war in connection with the recent invasion of the Clay county capital by two parties of Hose Polytechnic students engaged in a class fight. Some of the students were Irrested for rfoting and spent a night in •ail, igyttch to their disgust. Brazil isn't up to modern educational methods."

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
Hyorttei Goes to the Root of the Disease and Makes Astonishing Cures. Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-called system tonics. Under such treatment the germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase and multiply. ft
Hyomei is the only scientific and thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing the germs in the air passages, it enters the blood with the oxygen, destroys the microbes itt the blood and effectually drives from the system all traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. J. S. Nugen., treasurer of the American Union Life Insurance Co., of New York City, writes: "Hyomei has completely cured my daughter of catarrh from which she has been suffering for years."
Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact that your druggist will agree to refund the money if you say Hyomei has not cured you. -v
Now is a good time to cure your catarrh.

She is the daughter of Frederick and Susan Babel, who settled in New York in 1805, and in 1832 she married Jacob Hant, a carpenter. Since 1873 she has lived with her granddaughter, Mrs. Frederick Wickes in Adelphi street. She is the mother of five sons and two daughters, and has ourteen grandchildren living, as well as eight great-grandchildren.
Mrs Hunt says: "My vonthfulness and vigor are due to the use of Duffy Pure Malt Whiskey, my only medicine." In conversation with a newspaper representative, Mrs. Hunt sal I belie hiskey,
