The horse thief is very busy herea bouts just now.

The loss of life in Java far exceeds anything in the history of the world In one town less than five thousand lives out of 25,000 were saved.

The general health of Terre Haute was never so good as it is at present for this time of the year. In short the prairie city is a "Summer Cure."

It is denied that General Sheridan intends putting brother Mike in charge of a literary bureau, to work up the former's candidacy for the presidency.

There was no suit filed yesterday by the shysters of Wall street for the purpose of fleecing a citizen. It has been as much as ten days since one of these characteristic blackmailing efforts, has been put on record. 14?

One of the best things Jere Black ever said is that "no man can be a good Democrat who believes in a tariff for protection."—[Evansville Courier.

What is the matter with the Democracy of D. W. Voorhees and JohnELamb? Isn't it the pure, unadulterated article?

Vanderbilt snubbed Pullman, the parlor car man, at Saratoga the other day. The public would enjoy a regular' fistic engagement between these two men who have grown enormously wealthy by extortion practiced on the rest of mankind.

Judge Lawrence, first comptroller of the treasury, says he has no doubt of the power of congress to regulate the charges for telegraphic messages. It is reported Judge Gresham will recommend a government postal telegraph, as did his predecessor, Judge Howe.

The Express is encouraged. Generally there has been at least one suit every day, the object of' which is to drive a citizen to compromise with the lawyers rather than go to trial in a case which lie is sure he would win, but in the trial of which he would be liable to all sorts of personal abuse.

The Democratic press of Ohio is now devoting itself to giving the Ohio Democracy advice largely constituted of upbraidinga. The able editors think they see the Ohio situation in thQ, perspective and can tell exactly the cause of all the trouble. None of them, however, is wise enough to discern the fact that it is the "natur" of the party to quarrel.

The Indianapolis Herald has a standing candidate for governor in the person of Rev. Myron W. Reed. Mr. Reed is a brilliant success as a minister, but it is doubtful whether he would be as a politician. He should remember the fate of Rev. De La-Matyr and stick to his business.—Columbus Republican.

The reverend gentleman need not worry himself. He fits the hole he is in now. The Republican party of the state is looking for a bigger peg.

•Eugene, as will be seen by a special in our "Neighborhood" column, „is quite a town. It is able to ship flour to Terre Haute, where more flour is manufactured than in any other city in the state. But the chief feature of Eugene's greatness is the arrival of triplets, 16$ pounds of them, day before yesterday. We are inclined to dispute the flour supremacy, but throw up both hands on triplets. Terre Haute has great resources, but yields to her neighbor when the wholesale business takes this shape.

An official statement of the receipts of the internal revenue bureau for July shows that while there is an increase from the tax on liquors this is over balanced by the decrease in the receipts on tobacco and from the banks. The total decrease for the month was $2,713,628.10, at which rate there will be a reduction of $30,000,000 for the vear. It is only needed that the reduction in the customs receipts be equally as much to meet the grand total contemplated by congress. If this is not a good showing for the last session of the Republican congress, we do not know what the people want. The burden of taxation ?s materially

lilted, and yet the industries- of the country are given the benefit of a tariff calculated to'foster home enterprises and give American workmen lair compensation for their labor.

ANew York policeman has been arrested for clubbing a man to death. Policemen seem to have an impression that they are specially granted power to club and shoot people on less provocation than any one else. An officer, except in the effort to capture an escaping criminal charged with a capital offense has no right to use a weapon except in self defense, not a particle more right than any citizen. But the average policeman beats a drunken prisoner whose condition prevents him walking a's fast as the policeman would have him. He also feels the importance of his petty office, invites retort from citizens and then clubs them If a man doesn't want the position of a police officer with the understanding that he is to come in contact with roughs and yet be no more empowered to take a life than is any other persoD then he can decline the position. There are difficulties in all walks of life and if you choose one exceptional ly beset with danger* it is your own lookout. That New York policeman is as deserving of capital punishment as was Buck Stout, the Darlington murderer.

It is related that an old southern gentle man, traveling at: the north, recently slapped a young fellow's face because the young fellow wouldn't give a lady a seat in a car. The southern gentleman who staits in this business in the north will wear his hands out in a week.—[Atlanta Constitution.

The Constitution would have us think the "southern gentleman' phenomenally courteous and hospitable. It is the old drivel about southern chivalry and hospitality, and we are tired hearing about it. True courtesy and hospitality require in the first place entire forgetfulness of self. But your "southern gentleman" performs all of his ostentatious acts of hospitality with the controlling idea of attracting atten tion to himself, continually saying in manner if not in words, "look at me I am a southern gentleman and am using you as material for the display of southern hospitality." It is the sublimity of conceit begotten of ignorance of true refinement or culture.

It is the same spirit that actuates our friends in the south in their Constant deprecation of indulgence in recriminations over the sectional animosities of the war. We are constantly assailed by the south for referring to the war in the discussion of national politics And are told that it is cruel to attack the southern people for their part in the rebellion, now that nearly twenty years have elapsed since the \yar was fought. But on every husting in the south the "lost cause" is upheld in vindictive language. A candidate who has" a "war record" is the only one who stands any chance of a nomination. There is more use made of the war in political discussion in the south than in the north. And we may be pardoned for saying that inasmuch as the north was in the right and the south was in the wrong, we don't exactly see why the south should be more privileged in such discussion. At the ex-Confeder ate reunion at Jefferson City the other, day, a "General," in alluding to the propriety of such meetings, said they should not take place if they were merely devoted to fighting over the battles of the war. Then, southernerlike, he launched out into a vigorous and impassioned defense of the "lost cause."„

Where the Sinews of War Come From. New York Mail and Express. Napoleon III. kept an agent in the United States to purchase horses for his army, and Canadian horses are now on their way across the Atlantic for use in the French cavalry. It would be difficult for the old world to fight without horses, rifles and wheat from America.

Very Practical Joking. Four young men near Shelby villeL Indiana, undertook to play a practical joke on two brothers, Blake. These brothers were induced to join the four in robbing a watermelon patch belonging to Mrs. George Huntington, her four sons also being let into the plan, and instructed to conceal themselves in the patch, and when the party got there to shoot off their guns and yell. Everything went according to programme, and when the guns were fired the Blake brothers struck a 2:10 gait for home. The Huntington boys, who had charge of the shooting had forgotten to draw the heavy charges of shot with which their guns were loaded, and the result was three of the jokers, Follis, Holden and Bales, were shot. Follis received a charge in his right hand and side, inflicting a painful wound, while Bales escaped with two or three shot in his forehead. Holden received about 150 shot in his back and legs.

Various Items of Current NewsLocal and General.

New Engines.

Engine number 170 was turned out of the Vandalia shops yesterday after undergoing a complete overhauling. The boHer and all other parte were repaired and cleaned. The tender re ceived anew coat of paint. The ap pearance of the engine as a whole is as one that has everything entirely new The engine will be used in the yards several days to limber her up before being put on the road.

E. & T. H. passenger engine number 21 was turned out of the Evansville shops the first of this week, and made her first trip Wednesday, bringing up the passenger from the south. She is equipped with an extension boiler and other late improvements. She was pronounced a daisy by all who saw her.

Still Changing.

Fred Kramer, who has been opera tor in J. R. Kendall's office for quite a while has been transferred to Master of Transportation Elliott's office. No successor will be appointed as his duties will be performed by ForeBt Kendall.

Mr. Morse, Who has been on the C. & E. I., as baggage man for Ballou, has been changed to a Bimilar position on the train recently put on at Chicago. The vacancy caused by his transfer will be filled by George Seymour.

Hose Cut.

During the fire which occurred early yetiterday morning, a.freight train on the I. & St. L. passed over a section of hose which was across the track at the Seventh street crossing. The train men claim they had no-warning of the hoBe being across the track at Seventh and thB engineer not seeing it, ran over and cut it, causing the water to be cut off from the fire for some time •Air Brakes.

Quite a number of the roads are seriously considering the matter of equipping freight trains with automatic air brakes. If this system should come into use on freight trains it undoubtedly would serve as a great pro tec tion to lives and property. Owing to the unevenness of the build of the cars, considerable difficulty will be experienced in getting the brakes to work with little difficulty to the train men.

The Marion and Indianapolis.

The old project of a railroad from Indianapolis to Marion, a distance of about sixty miles, has not been abandoned as is supposed by many. Negotiations are now pending for the manufacture of the rails. An official of the road states that the right of way has been secured for the entire distance. .Considerable aid has been voted bytowns along the way, and the company will receive greater aid when the construction is commenced.

JOAB'S JOKB.

What the Press Say* Abouf*Mlchael Hosea Ban Away and His Case Against the Express.

Brazil Enterprise: "The Terre Haute Express don't seem to be a bit skeered over its most recent libel suit It thinks the Joab suit a Job suit for impecunious lawyers."

Logansport Advertiser: "The Tene Haute Express has another libel suit on band* & libel suit is described as a legal proceeding, where a man pays a lawyer $10,000 in order to-get $1,000 out of another man who thought the first man was a fool and now is sure of it."

Newport Hoosier State: "M. M. Joab, of Terre Haute, who sneaked away to Canada during the «war to avoid the draft, has instituted suit against the Daily Express because it saw fit to'give him a little blast for brutally treating his divorced wife. Joab wants $20,000 as a healing plaster for his wounded feelings. We predict there will be along cold spell before he gets it."

Sullivan Union: The Terre Haute Express is in a fair way to become one of the most useful papers in the state. Suit has been brought against Mr. Allen, the editor, by one Joab, an attorney of the Terre Haute bar. The trouble grew out of an article published in the Express, charging Joab, with abusing his divorced wife. A gang of lawyers, among whom we notice the names of several who came to Sullivan on two occasions to run judicial conventions, appear upon the scene Of action, and add their legal weight with the prosecution. The Express charges that the interest this arrajr of counsel is taking is for the distribution of $20,000 Joab is supposed to have, and also charges disreputable practices upon a portion of the Terre Haute bar, which, if true, ought to disbar them.

If the Express can hold its own with eight or ten Terre Haute lawyere, jt ought to be awarded a medal, and if it can purify the atmosphere that appears to hang like a cloud over the legal fraternity of that beautiful city, it deserves the thanks and patronage of the honest people of Vigo county.

The Barnum Success.

The annual triumphs of Barnum, the greatest living showman, will surprise no one who pauses a moment to study the real reason. He has been fifty years before the public, hesitates at no expense to employ phenomenal talent and extraordinary attractions. His agents are always as busy as a lot of bees. There are no drones among them. He spends money lavishly in any way where he can see a return. He employs men of genius and ability to conduct his business. He rewards true merit most liberally, thuB making hia lieutenants his sworn and unswerving friends. An opportunity to add to the great volume of his popularity is never let pass unimproved. He and his people are hot only shrewd, industrious and dfetermined, but use judgment which seems ne/er mistaken. No matter how obdurate any town or community, it must surrender to Barnum and his army of workers. They will not be denied. The same amount of tact and energy would make any merchant or tradesman wealthy in ten years, and the only wonder is that his example, which glitters and sparkles brighter than an electric light, does not create more men like him.

He tried to play Cincinnati last spring, and the rain, flood and mud drowned him out. He lost $30,000 and never murmured. He bided his time and returned there this week. The Enquirer says 15,000 people were under the tents on Tuesday afternoon and 20,000 at night, while as many more were unable to get in at all for want of room. The loss which he pocketed with a snule last May was only loaned-1-for the four days which he now performs in Cincinnati will net him fully $60,000. All over the country the success of the combination has been just the same—tremendous. Jumbo, the Noah's Ark menagerie, threeringsand an elevated stage, eighty acts in the circus, thrilling hippodrome races, Nubrians, cannibals, Zulus, wild rfien, untutored savages, museum of living freaks, and—Barnum, have done tl)e work. And here, as elsewhere, everybody will go, and the "Barnum day" will be a veritable holiday.
