as far as possible, the Express offers a reward of five dollars for the detection

of subscribers.

Yesterday was the busiest day of the year with our merchants.

Dr. Thrall, who preaches at St. Stephen's church, to-day, is one of the most eminent theologians in the country.

The American illustrated magazines are usurping the field for such publications abroad. The English edition of Harpers for December is over 50,000, which is three or four times as large as the circulation of any English monthly.

As will be seen in our correspondence from the neighboring towns and the articles clipped from newspapers, both Democratic and Republican, published in those towns, the blundering of nincompoop policemen, and their vindication by a police board composed of ward politicians, is seriously impairing the success of the businessmen's excursions.

Officer Kunz is again to the front. This time he undertook to arrest an employe of the railroad company, a man who bus been working for the road thirty years. When it is borne in mind that the same railroad company pays half the salary of the policeman for special service about the place where the man he undertook to arrest is at work, the humor of tho occurrence becomes intense.

The tire record during the paBt week •in the-respect" bf the number of tires and the destructi-ln of property has hardly an equal in many years past.

Insurance statistics show that with the first severely cold weather like that of the past week the liability to fire is naturally increased by the unusual amount of heat required. The one lesson taught is that exceptional care should bo given to the condition of flues and proximity of stoves to combustible material.

The proposition to abolish the convict labor system in .New York was tarried at tho recent election by a vast majority of all ftie votes cast upon the quest-ion and is favored by the suffrage of a majoi ily of all who went to the polls on the day of the election. The contract and other systems now in vogue are faulty and work injury in many directions, but the other extreme should not be resorted to. The convict should have occupation for his and society's good.

The Courier of yesterday was a good jtaper. And by the way, inasmuch as wo have made this remark several times, and as the Courier evinces a be-Liet-in that beautiful style of journalism which is based upon reciprocity, it is rather strange our new daily has not paid the Express any compliment. The same judgment that tells us the Courier is a good paper also informs us the Express is a remarkably good paper, and in this opinion we have the support of more readers than any daily paper in Terre Haute, and of more legitimate subscribers than all the daily papers in Terre llaute combined— price fifteen cents a week.

We call attention to the communication of "Bunsby" anent the Montgomery case. And while on this subject lake this opportunity to once again dear away some of the confusion with which the Gazette and the Democrat evidently seek to surround the case. Montgomery violated no law of the city or state. Even from the defense now made he was ejected from the depot for violating a rule of the railroad company. The truth is, and we want to "hold her nozzle agin the bank," that Kunz thought he had captured a thief. Such was the talk the night of the arrest. Mr. Montgomery was charged with being a suspicious character. All this talk about "violation of law" and "resisting an officer" is a manufactured defense, and should have 110 weight.

The Democrat like the Ciazette misrepresents and deceives the reader. In an article on the Welch case the Democrat says:

Wlial more could the police committee do than was done at once they discharged him.

Then after hinting at an alleged instance of misconduct on the part of a Republican official Fays:

Wouldn't it be a good Idea for the Republican party to make him tendin bis resignation, just as the Democratic party did in the case of WcU

The effect of the two statements is fo confuse the mind of the reader and

leave him half impressed that the police board did discharge Welch. The persistant use of the words "dia&mrg&ifi and "dismissed" in the Gazette and now in the Democrat is a virtual admission that Welch should have been dismissed and not allowed to slip out of his disgraceful position so easily. The board instead did not even "make him" send in his resignation.

The proximity of the election of a speaker of the house of representatives has called attention to the vast power of this officer of congress. The New York Times is moved to ask if it is not t.i' much p' wer to be placed "in the hiiiiils of one man who is only a reprcM iilalivc of a district in Pennsylvania or ailistiict in Kentucky?" The speiker of the house in the making of the laws for Ihe country can exercise a power that f.-.r exceeds Ihe veto of the president. Ii isihl.s almost unlimited control of the work of the three hundred and l«« i)!\ Jive mmibcrs of congress that gives lo Ihe election of a speaker the national importance it receives every two years. It is within the power of the speaker of the house to curtail a member's usefulneEs, unless lie be a man of surpassing ability, or to make him a leading spirit in framing the law?, and to. this fact can be attributed all the fiherning and bargaining that iigurein every election. The Bpeaker appoints the committees. He not only names the members for each committer, but he decides who shall be chairman, alio next in order, and so on to the end of the list. For instance, second or third place on one committee is considered as desirable as the chairmanship of a committee which consider?, of lees coneeop^rc'-

Indianapolis Admitted to tho American Association. Indianapolis Times.

Manager Dan O'Leary, of the Indianapolis Base Ball club, returned home last night, having been in attendance at the informal conference of the American association, held during the present week. He says that at that meeting an agreement waB reached which will be ratified at the meeting of the association to be held December 12, to admit the Indianapolis, Brooklyn, Toledo, and Washington, D. C., clubs to membership. This action increases the membership of the American association to twelve clubs, and makes it a remarkably strong organization. Manager O'Leary says that now that it is to have an association club, it will be necessary to at once strengthen the local organization by doubling its capital stock, and he expects this can be done without any difficulty.

High Sheriff Robert Buckle. Mr. Robert Buckle, formerly of this city, and well known as a member of the firm of Buckle & Alder, painters, is now high sheriff of Oxford, England. When Mr. Minshall was in Oxford recently, lie met Mr. Buckle on the street and learned the fact stated above.

Mr. Buckle was originally from Oxford, coming here after he had reached man's estate. Three years ago he kft Terre Haute returning to his native place. In the course of time lie was made high sheriff, an office whose importance is much greater than that of our county sheri ff. It is said he reached this distinction through the introduction into English polities some of the arts of the American campaign workers. He organized UieJuet torchlight procession ever held in Oxford.

London World: Some of my contemporaries have been publishing silly fustian twaddle about the departure of the Princess Louise from Canada.

Few people who know anything about such matters ever expected it to succeed, for an English "royalty," who has always been brought up in the rigid etiquet of perhaps the strictest court in Europe, and who has been accustomed to the slavish adulation of a shamefully servile society," is as much out of pla^e in a distant colony as a reindeer would be in Central Africa or a camel in St. Petersburg. It is, besides, a severe trial to be several years "out of the swim," and to be far removed from all the court jargon.

dq^bt about the success^^

It was the custom of the people at Bethlehem to hold a sacrificial feast once a year, and Jesse, from his position as the principal landholder there, was accustomed to preside. While they were at their feast they beheld the prophet Samuel coming toward them, leading a heifer and carrying in his hand a horn of the sacred oil. They were somewhat uneasy over this appearance in their midst, for they knew the difference which now existed between the king and the venerable prophet. To see Samuel about, coming to a feast, meant that he had some important duty to perform.

Jesse's sons were called to pass before the prophet, and when all present had done so the prophet asked if there were no others, for the Lord had not allowed him to select any of these. Then David, the youngest, who was out attending the sheep, was brought in, and he it was who received the appointment. He did not know for what important position he had been selected. The sons were anointed as priests, and it was supposed this was the office David was to hold. It was not necessary, nor would it have been wise, for Samuel to have made public his secret. Had he done so David would have been subject to the jealousy of Saul, the king, who would have done all in his power to spoil his plans.

Three things are said as to David's personal appearance. He was ruddy, Utterly red, red haired. This was regarded as a .mark of beauty in the cast. He was of a "beautiful countenanec." and he was "good to look upon." He had a good countenance, a graceful form, and a fine presence, lie between 16 and 20 years old, was strong and manly, was swift of foot and"fetrong of arm, and had protected bis flock from the wild beasts single-handed. He was of a naturally poetic temperament, and before he left the sheep-fold he was already known for his skill in minstrelsy, iis well as for his courage and aptitude for military enterprise. He was to be the next king, though his kindred nor himself knew naught of it.

Uncle Tom's C«bin.

There was more than an average house drawn by the revised edition of this alternately lugubrious and cheerful play. With an intelligent comprehension of the popular weakness the manager plans the two Topseys at the top of the programme. It would be well while doubling the Toj«eys to halve the Uncle Tom, who is too preternaturally solemn for any use. The large audience evidently found much to please, especially in all that was amusing.

Mountain Pink.

This is the title of the play in which Louise Sylvester will appear Tuesday evening.

The story deals with life character, and scenes in the south, and is said by good judges to be a faithful portraiture of what it purports to be a reflex of. The dialogue is said to be strong, terse, and full of vitality the situations are well worked and full of life and character, while the climaxes are strong and sensational to a degree. The character of Sincerity Weeks (Louiae Sylvester) is a little after the style of M'lips, but with anew

Lesson (or November 18—Subject, David Anointed i. Samuel ni,, 1-3.

The last lesson told of Saul's disobedience and his rejection, but his dethronement was not-to follow immediately. Fourteen years have passed since then, and still the self-willed king occupies the throne. It is not necessary to drive him from the throne at once, but provision is to be made for his successor. This is desirable for several reasons. First, Saul may die at any moment, and there should be no

It shows the inner life of the master and the slave. It is as fresh as-mountain dew,'and has received commedtiation from all sources. .. .,

Notes.

It is more than probable that there will be two opera festivals in Cincinnati this winter.

Brooks & Dickson Contemplate placing a "Romany Kye" company No. 3 on the road, the others having met with such success.

The continued success of "Hazel Kirke" lias warranted the Madison square management to book the play for the season of 1884 85.

Texas is death on shows this season. The state is overcrowded and needs a long rest. The mortuary list embraced seven companies last week.

Maud Granger played to $30 in Louisville. She left the city in disgust, taking with her a $300 dog, whice she purchased at the exposition.

John Dillon, the popular comedian, who is starring this season in "State's Attorney," has given a $500 bond to his manager to remain 60berfor a year.

Carl Rankin, of Thatcher, Primrose & West's minstrels, will black his face no more after this season, as Scott Marble is writing a play for his peculiar specialties.

Sydney Rosenfeld states that he isat work on Minnie Palmer's new play, for which he has gathered material during his tour in Europe. He also states that he has just completed a parody of Irving's "Bells" for Nat Goodwin.

She was so cut up by the Boston papers that she married him and left the stage, preferring one His off the stage to many hisses on. However, there may be other Hisses in store for her.

Mr. Frank A. Small, agent of "A Mountain Pink" company, has resigned, and will go south to re-enter the profession of journalism. Mr. George W. Ryer, manager of the company, will take personal charge of the advance work of the company for the present.

Chicago News Letter: "Pardon me, but I wish to contribute to a new charity—a home for aged and decrepit femaleB. This is the place, isn't it?" Doortender: "No, sir, it isn't. This is the stage door of a spectacular theater. We're playing 'Enchantment,' and these females going in are the ballet girls."

Wm. Mestayer, of Tourist fame, made an offer, it is understood, for the Twenty-third street theater, New York, and was willing to spend $15,000 in improvements. His purpose is to bring out "Madame Piper," Woolson Morse's opera, and to follow up with his .musical farce, "Hicks' Fix," and other light musical productions,

Mr. Joseph Murphy's profits have nearly doubled in the past three years, during which time he has been man aged by Mr. Augustus Pitou. The latter wanted a larger percentage to continue managing the business next year. To this Murphy demurred, and they part at the end of this season, but In a perfectly friendly manner. 1

Tlie Travels of a Mattress. The Clay City Independent says that a statement made at the time of the cyclone in Clay county, in May last, has juet been verified, which adds to the Strange incidents of that terrible storm. The mattress of a bed in one of the houses struck by the cyclone was not found anywhere in the same locality. A report was received that a mattress was received in the woods beyond Gosport, Ind., a distance of fifty or sixty miles. This mattress^has just been returned to Clay City, and is identified as the missing one.
