The only consolation to be found in the earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tidal waves is in the compensation theory advanced by many scientists. This theory is that such violent demonstrations act as a vent for the terrible commotion underneath the crust of the world that but for this escape of the steam, or whatever it may be, the force of the raging elements would accumulate and cause a more widespread and disastrous upheaval than that at Ischia or tho ones reported this morning from the Javanese island.

The state fair at Indianapolis will suffer in attendance by reason of the treatment of the public at the encampment and other occasions of public gatherings at the capital. The Indianapolis newspapers are extensively patronized By the managers of such entertainments, and Indianapolis people in general, profit by the enterprises, while it is expected every other influence is to help things along for a "thank you," and that not very graciously bestowed. As the Crawfordsville Journal justly remarks, this is riot fair and should not be tolerated a

Congressman Blackburn announces his withdrawal from the race for the speakership and declares himself clandidate for United States senator to succeed "Cerro Gordo" Williams. In the announcement Blackburn says he is chiefly induced to take this course through his desire to aid his party in the election of "a speaker Who will reflect the true Democratic theory of a tariff for revenue only"—the "only" with a big 0. He does not say he is for Carlisle of his own state but it is probable the bargain has been struck by which he is to give his support to that candidate who, with his friends, will in turn help Blackburn in his senatorial aspirations. The significance of this movement is no doubt" alarm at Randall's prospects, a fear that while the "tariff for revenue only" members are in the majority that they are not strong enough to win the fight with divided ranks.

Pittsburg Telegram. After reading a list of horrors, from an earthquake to a suicide, and footing up at least 1,000 dead, it is a positive luxury to turn to a demure little item about woman out in Ohio having triplets.

Sadden Barometrical Change. Post-Dispatch. A teleram from Washington city announces that Gen. Hazen, the portly chief of the weather bureau, sat down on a box of explosive parlor matches yesterday. For a moment there was a sudden barometrical change and gusts of profanity for the Bouth Atlantic States, followed by light showers of arnica.

More Justice for Tenants.

What is known is England as the agricultural holdings bill passed parliament on Saturday before the final" adjournment.

BLIAIR'S COMMITTEE.

The Present Inquiry to be Thorough and Continne for Some Time. WASHINGTON, August 28.—Gentle

men who conversed in New York yesterday with members of the labor com mission say that the opinion prevails among the members that the present inquiry will continue until near the time for the assembling of congress, and that a great deal of valuable information as to the state of labor, and the relation of labor to capital, will be secured. One of the southern members of the committee said that to his mind the telegraph strike had given an impetus to the discussion of a system of government telegraphy which might result iu some practical legislation, and that he himself would be disposed to favOr a bill creating a government telc»reph in opposition to existing lines if it could be made clear that the -government could engage in the telegraph business without increasing the patronage of the dominant party by the addition of twenty thousand to the army of office-holders. He was not yet clear that the existing civil service law, or any statue that could be devised, would prevent the use of these offices for political pur? 'poses. He thought (be ptrikQ had de-

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPKE%TH]gRiPAY MQRNipk

monstrated -the fact that the art of telegraphing is not so difficult or mysterious as it had been supposed tO.be, and that, with the rapid extension of telegraph colleges and- other facilities of learning,it. can no longer be. said that a knowledge of telegraphing is restricted to a comparatively small number of experts.

On the general question of the relation of labor to capital as illustrated by the evidence taken before this com* miBBinn, this Southern Democratic member, who has given evidence of leaning toward the labor side, said that the problem seemed to him now more complex and difficult than ever, and that he confessed his inability, from any light which, he had, to satisfactorily solve it, and he added that if there was to be another war in this country, it. would be a war between labor and capital, and that if such a contest should come, it would be found that capital would be at a great disadvantage.

GKESHAM AND THE DENCY.

PRESI-

Something About the Man as FriendBig Prospects. Oath in the New York Tribune.

I hear that Judge Gresbam, the Post-master-General, was under an engagement to become the law partner of the Hon. Joseph McDonald/when he was summoned into President Arthur's Cabinet, and had to obtain McDonald's, consent before he, could relinquish the profitable railway and other practice of "Saddler Joe," which my informant said was worth last year $65,000.

Judge Horace Russell said to me nearly as follows last week: "I thinn Gresham has the Presidential timber in him, if anybody has, in Arthur's Cabinet. He is of the typical Ken-tucky-sired Indiana appearance, with brown eyes which, when he gets mad, enlarge and seem to carry fire. Yet with this temper is something cool, and his reputation as a soldier was that of being deadly cool in battle. His manly, serious, faithful yet hardly docile qualities, for he has will and decisi.on in abundance, obtained Grant's respect, and Gresham being dangerously wounded in the war and poor at the close of it, Grant offered him the collectorship of the port of New-Orleans after he became president. 'No,' said Gresham, 'I am poor but I shall stick to the law.' He went to work, never looking back in his dark days on the tempting thing lie had refused, and once a fellow attorney, to whom Gresham had no special obligation, came and asked him to go onto Long Branch and apply to .grant for the United States Attorneyship of Indiana for this friend. Gresham came. Grant said: "No, I have already selected a man.' 'Very Well,' Gresham said, turning away. 'Hold on!' said Grant, 'don't you want to know his name 'If you choose, general, but it was not my business, to ask' 'The name of the man I selected as soon as this vacancy was broached,'said Grant, 'was Walter Gresham.' Gresham replied, with a slight flush, 'Gen' era!, I wish you had nominated me as soon as you thought of me. I desired above ail things in the world thi3 of flee. It is in line with my profession. *nrl my nature also.' W ell,' _sfl.it Grant, 'you have got it." 'Uli, no, General, I think too much of the people out in Indiana to incur their suspicion that I came on another man's errand and served my own.' 'I will riot appoint the man you represent,' ex claimed Grant 'I meant the place for you.' 'General Grant,' said Gresham 'dearly as I would have appreciated the place had' you given it to me, no consideration would allow me to take it now.'" "The next opportunity Gresham had," said Judge Russell, "waB to be reporter of the Supreme court of the United States, a place said to have been worth $25,000, and a life place. That might have suited him well, but he happened to know that his law partner, Judge Otto, desired to have it. He has a son named Otto-Gresham. He went to work and helped Otto get it and be happy. Grant was disappointed again. There Gresham had successively sacrificed to self-respect or chivalry three great positions." Suddenly Grant telegraphed him: 'There is a vacancy for United States judge of Indiana. I shall send in your name and I want no nonsense about it.' Gresham had meantime become an experienced lawyer by sacrificing things, and he was ripe for the place. He was offered splendid legal connections in Chicago when suddenly he received the proffer of postmaster general. Arthur, with too cool regard for privileges of senators, sent the name of Gresham first to Ben Harrison, his rival, thus blending a condescension and a bow-string." Said I: "Then Gresham would make good presidential stuff?" "Yes but suppose Arthur wants to run. In that case Gresham would not take it."

To the above I may add, of my own knowledge, that Mr. Gresham learned enough executive skill in the army to see that Secretary Folger does not enough delegate his work to others, but sits up nights and Sundays doing I mere clerk's part, which he should de mand to be done as well by a subordinate.

LITERARY.

The North

wflgill

American Review for

September is an admirably constituted number, whether we regard the timeliness and importance of the subjects presented, or the eminent competence of the authors chosen for their discussion. First comes "State Regulation of Corporate Profits," by Chief Justice T. M. Cooley, of Michigan, showing how far, by wise legislation and by applying in the spirit of enlightened jurisprudence the principles of the common law, the harrowing exactions of corporate companies and monopolies in general may be restrained and the interests of the people effectually conserved. John A. Kasson, M. C,, writes on "Municipal Reform," and offers suggestions for the abatement of the evils of misgovernment in our great municipalities that will command the earnest interest of all good citizens without respect to party. Richard Grant White treats of "Class Distinctions in" the United States," a subject that is destined to occupy more and mors the attention of the American people as great fortunes increase. "Shooting at Sight" is the subject. some pertinent reflections by James Jackson, chief justice of the state of Georgia. Ih "Facts about the Caucus and the Primary," George Walton Green unveils the tricks practiced by political managers in large cities. The well-known English essayist, W. H. Mallock, contributes "Conversations with a Solitary," in which he sets forth with much ingenuity the arguments adverse topopular government. The Rev. Dr. B. S. Phelan contributes an article sparkling with epigrams, on the "Limitations of Freethinking." Finally, Grant Allen, the most charming of all living writers on -natural history, discourses on "An ^mffrinan Wild Flower." Published

at 30 Lafayette Place, New Yotfk, ind fbr sale by booksellers generally. A number of famous names combini to make die Modern Age for September a noteworthy number. The notion comprises -"Hard Luck," by-Gas-ton Bergeret "What Happened to Holy St. Pancras of Evolo," by A. Schneegans," and the concluding chap tereof "The CalifornianB." The first two selections are entertaining to the highest degree, and the serial taken as a whole is a wonderfully good novel. The story itself holds the interest, and, as a translation, is an excellent, piece of work. James Anthony- Fronde's name is attached to a timely article on "Luther," and the number contains two poems, one by Austin Dobson, the other by Algernon Charles Swinburne. "To New York with the Mails," and "Theatrical Traitors," are light and agreeable reading. The editorial departments are as usual—good. (The Modern Age Publishing Co., New York City. $1.60 per annum.)

The Wheelman for September closes the first year. It is a magazine more particularly devoted to those interested in bicycling, but is made interesting to all by the rare ability shown in its selections.

A Charge Against Nuns.

CHICAGO, August 28.—Joseph Valequette, one of the pioneer settlers of Chicago, appeared to-day before the probate court as a defendant in a suit instituted by his two married daughters. They petition for a conservator for their father's estate, alleging he is not mentally capable of caring for the same. For some time past Valequette has been residing ai Mercey hospital. The daughters allege nuns are exerting an undue influence over the father and they fear he will leave the greater portion of his estate to the hospital. Vallequette denies all allegations and vigorously asserts his ability to care for nis estate. He was at one time very wealthy. The estate is large yet. Two groiwn sons in business here take no interest in the suit.

AYER'S

Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are so insidious in their attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of sufferers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness. AYEB'S CHBBRY PECTOBAL has well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight with throat and lung diseases, and should b« taken in all cases without delay.'

A Terrible Cough Cured. In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I had a terrible coughjuid passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried AYER'S CHEEKY PECTORAL, which relieved jny lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for tlie recovery of mystrength. .By the continued use of the PECTORAL a permanent cure was effected. I am now 62 years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your CHE&RY PECTORAL saved me.

I was suffering from Blood Poison and Mercurial Rheumatism, and had spent 3500 for treatment With no benefit, and it seemed that' I was doomed to die. Caught at Swift's Specific as a drowning man would at a straw, and it has saved me from a horrible' death, and cured me sound and well. It is the greatest medicine in the world.

HEREDITARY.—Swift's Specific cured me sound and well of a Scrofulous taint inherited'from my ancestors.

J. A. MAY, Macon, Oa.

I am sure that Swift's Specific saved my life. I was terribly poisoned with Malaria, and was given up to die. Swift's Specific relieved me promptly and entirely. I think it is the greatest remedy of the age.
