Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city in tbe west, so cheap that flour Is manufactured at less Bost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There are nine railroads leading into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city )f its size in the west.

With Phillips dead and Douglass in his dotage the era of slavery is getting to the rear. ''i

It is reported that the gang have two more libel suits to bring against the Express in the event they fail in the one now pending as they did in their former efforts.

The Morrison tariff bill has been introduced in the house. Mr. Morrison says it does not reach all that he would like to accomplish, but is careful to say that it means a tariff for revenue with no thought for protection, and that, says Mr. Morrison, is the true Democratic platform.

The Indiana Supreme court Has decided that money lost in betting on an election cannot be recovered under the statute which provides that money lost by betting "on any game" can be recovered by the loser. The court holds that an election cannot be said to be "a game" in the sense contemplated by the statute. This decision affirmed one from the Warren circuit court.

The Evansville Journal, speaking of the last suit for libel brought against the Express, says:

The Terre Haute Express attributes the commencing of the new libel suit against its proprietor to the spite of a few Democratic lawyers" in that city, who wish to break the paper down. This is undoubtedly the correct diagnosis of the case. There is more malice, bullylsm and political Intolerance amongst some of the Democratic lawyers there than any place else in the west. The Express has been an objeot of hatred amongst them ever since 1880, wheu it helped to redeem Vigo county from their political clutches.

A man named Sykes, the friend of the leader of the New Orleans derai monde, has been acquitted of the charge af murder. iSykes killed this woman and found himself licr heir to the amount of $200,000, one-fourth of which he used in securing his acquittal in the courts. Howell, the Batavia murderer, Nutt, the "insane" aveDger, and many others who have taken the lives of their fellow men aro to-day living witnesses to tlio fact that our criminal courts are nothing but play houses where the public is entertained by the presentation of farces of the broadest character.

The Indianapolis News made public the fact that the teaching of that part of the history of the United States relating to the war was prohibited in the public schools in that city and the information has created a great deal of indignation. The diffi culty now seems to be to place the blame for the rule or order by which this has been done. When the state authorities in several southern states endorse the use in the public schools of histories of the war which are outrageous in their biased accounts of that war, and when it is remembered that the civilized world has accepted it to be a fact that the Union cause was the righteous one in thatwsr we don't see why the Indianapolis youth should be kept in ignorance of the facts.

When the Express of Sunday morning was served to its thousands of readers there was a common remark that Ben Blanchard was quite the best advertiser Terre Haute ever possessed Friday afternoon Mr. Blanchard notified the Express that he wanted four pages of the Sunday morning paper, thirty-six columns, long size. A quick computation decided that the space could be given Mr. Blanchard. From that time until Sunday morning there was much hard work done. But when you unite the enterprise of a live and pushing man like Blanchard to the capabilities of the greatest daily paper ever published in Terre Haute, success is assured. The result every one knows. It was the biggeBt piece of newspaper advertising ever done by an individual advertiser, and in the newspaper sense as great a feat as ever accomplished in the state outside of Indianapolis.

What is the result? Simply this, that Mr. Blanchard, who has learned the wisdom of liberal advertising, will make money by the use of the four pages, the Express did make money by his use of them, and the truth of the

£???&

adage that advertising will again be verified. Many copies of the Kx? presa were sent away, not by Mr. Blanchard nor the Express, but by persons who said they admired enterprise and desired that their friends should see such an instance of what a posting business man will do to advertise his business.

The proposition to provide cacti senator and member with a clerk at government expense is hot likely to be carried into a law. There is no reason why the gentlemen who serve in the national legislature should have clerks. Their duties are not so burdensome that each cannot attend to his own without the aid of a private secretary. There are, it is true, a number of men in congress who have considerable outside business devolving upon them, in a professional way or in large manufacturing or mercantile interests, but that is no reason why-the public funds should be drawn upon for the assistance of a clerk. The truth is, that a congressman who gives one-half of his time to his congressional duties will, if- he is at all capable, find no difficulty in accomplishing the work that is before him. The great mass of business which is before congress receives but little or no attention and it should not receive any. There are thousands of measures introduced in each congress which it is not. intended Bhall ever be given a second thought. These are "buncombe" efforts. Then there are thousand!! of private bills which should by law be referred to some other tribunal than congress. These evils of legislation have grown so rapidly that the pruning knife should be applied and the possibility of giving each member a clerk put beyond the peradventure of it being done. Ten congresses baSk a total of 995 bills and resolutions wias considered too many. In the last congress there were 8,052. The danger in legislation is that there will be too many laws made the effort should be to curtail and simplify the law of the land.

The great state of New York is entering upon a brisk campaign to agitate prohibition and high license. The struggle between the great cities and the rural districts will be interesting. The conservative temperance men, or those who prefer a compromise between the extremes of prohibition and an unrestricted sale of intoxicants, will look to Ohio for an example. Ohio, since the adoption of the Scott law, is securing the substantial pecuniary benefit of two millions in revenue, and an equally or more substantial benefit by the suppression of the most dangerous saloons and a judicious restraining supervision of those remaining. The regulation of the liquor traffic is a-foot and must traverse every state until one experiment or another is tried. Shall we experiment in Indiana with abolition or restriction—with the practicable or the impossible To try lor too much would be to lose the possible. Enthusiasts and the over-sanguine who dream of perfection in the uncertain future usually neglect the benefits to be secured at once. The disastrous results of supporting prohibition to the Ohio republicans is a very significant lesson to Indiana, which is no more prohibitory in sentiment than Ohio is. That Indiana can not pass a constitutional prohibitory amendment is certain. If it could it would not go into effect for several years to come. Then let the moderate and ultra reformers unite to secure the highlicense system. Its effects wherever adopted have been remarkable for good. It commends itself to all moderate temperance men and to those who are not by placing a heavy lax on those who reap all the benefits of the liquor business. It benefits the public and the law-abiding dealer by sweeping out of existence the lower and demoralizing saloons in which ninetenths of our social disorder originate. The police records will show that the cases of drunkenness and rioting usually come from the saloons that would not pay $1,000 or $500 license. The costly franchise enjoyed by a limited number would' be. too valuable to be jeopardized by violation of law. The handsome fees possible under such high rates would sharpen the eyes of officials who are often pur-blind under the present system. Under such a law it is possible to secure the co-operation of the liquor sellers themselves in striking off tbe most glaring excesses. The usual headlong style of reform works too much the other way. A moderate law, with strictly defined limits, fully enforced will do more positive good than the most radical prohibitory measure, evaded or weakly administered. Could not the last be as fully enforced as the first? It could not, because all, ultra, moderate, or anti-temperance men will support a high license law where none but the most consciencious would fully enforce the other.

The Express sees in a similar law to the Scott a practical good. It fears inoperative, useless laws from more radical measures and advocates the safe ground that will secure the hearty cooperation of all citizens in the promotion of morality and order in Indiana, and the suppression of intemperance and vice. The Republican party can consistently, fully unite in this—more, it cannot, ought not to attempt it.

Baltimore American. President Arthur is really cruet in his treatmont of Washington sooiety. At the New Year's reception at the White House he threw society Into convulsions of astonishment by recognizing the wife of the speaker of the house as first lady of the land. Before then the wife of the secretary of state was thus honored. In spite of society's reiterated request for an explanation he would give no reason for tms aooitti bo^iAversemcnl. At the state dinner on Wednesday he further perplexed the matter by this time giving his arm to the wile of the secretary of state, Who, oh! who is the first lady? Is there any first lady? Society is stirred to its profoundest depths—to the veiy end of its princess train.

Mary had a little lamb, Down in Ohio state, And, ere It grew to be a ram,

Most dismal was its fate.

Its fleece was long and white and full, And Mary loved to shear Her lamb for the amount of wool

It brought her twice a year.,.

But once, unon a summer's day, She learned, to her dejection,

Her wool investment didn't payAnil so she craved protection. And then, with many a pleading word

And copious flow of tears..... She flew to genial Mr. Hurd'To set at rest her fears. ,v But Mr. Hurd in scorn did hold:,

Poor Mary and her kid. And when their tale of woe was told No kindly act he did. In vain for help the maiden cried

Upoirher bended knees "No tariff, girl," the man replied— "Go serve your lamb with peas!"

So Mary slew her little lamb— As might have been expected, For little lambs aren't worth a-^-'

Tlue-Rev. H€nry Ward Beech®* "this morning selected as his text Luke'xii., 13 to 21, inclusive, which is an admonition against covetousness. Daring his sermon he said. "'What sort of a man was that to say to his soul, ""eat soul,' 'drink, soul and be merry'? But his soul, unfortunately, has an immense posterity. What is your turn in life? I do not preach to an audience of dullards I preach to a body of earnest men and women, and the question cannot be evaded or avoided. Look into yourselves take the whole conception of your own purpose in life! The condition of the men of great names and power to-day is one of the most piteous things in the world. I am not sorry for the men I see going into the poorhotlses. They are many of them, better off spiritually than many that aro housed in marble. I. say to the poor rich man, 'there is nothing of you.' They are like dandelions, that come up and look like golden coins all over the fields and as soon as they have shown all fheir colors they shut up for a little while and then become an airy nothing which a breath can blow away. Many and many a man have. I seen that has come tip and for a time been a power, and lo! a breath destroyed him and he became a laughing stock among men. I see a row of warehouses. Who owns them? ABO.

I think of him as a rainbow, gorgeous with colors—but no, he is yellow all the wfty through, and it dries him up. I think ol him as a friend to humanity, assisting the widow, succoring ,tne orphan, benefactor of his race—butne, I approach his web in the corner, I touch it with a straw, and a huge black spider comes forth. He is ade. vourer of men, a destroyer of happiness, a man whose soul sits down the dunghill of filth, a man that is rotten with selfishness, and aB to being •rich towards God, God's angels hold their noses when they look at him. You inquire about the irinitv I let the trinity take care of itself. Yon say it is taught in the Bible I say all right I am glad of it I don't know anything about it, but I do know that the only class that is blessed- are the pure in heart and that they shall see God I know also that holy and right-living men are the best interpreters of the nature of God." «. ..

Life in a Texas Town.

Hempstead (Tex.) Special to the Houston Post.

Our town

for

weeks has been in a state

of lawlessness unprecedented in the annals of the place. Yesterday parties drunk were riding the streets, cursing, swearing and shooting pistols and Winchester rifles in a reckless manner. No attempt was made by the City Marshal or other peace officers here to stop said misbehavior. The night was made hideous by tho yells and eun shots. Last night (Sunday) the same way,

To-day at 10:30 p. nj., a citizens' meeting was held, and resolutions passed severely criticising the action of John W. Ellison, city marshall, and, emphatically asking him to resign which he (being present) refused to do. The meeting was composed of at least 100 of the best and most substantial citizens of the place. Mr. James A. Felker was chairman and L. Kaiser secretary. Yesterday's riot came very near being an awfully serious matter. Guns were drawn and presented by parties, but were prevented from shooting by bystanders. The meeting appointed a committee to wait upon Mr. J. T. Browning, formerly deputy sheriff here, and try and procure his services to suppress lawlessness. They were also instructed to ask the mayor to call a special meeting of the city council to take action. They ask that the city marshall, Mr. Ellison, be impeached because of negligence, carelessness and positive vio lations of duty. The citizens are stirred up, and something will be done soon.

Jay Gould and tbe Telearaph Companies

Mr. Garrett of the Baiwm6r6"and Ohio has fairly got Mr. Gould in a corner by showing how Mr. Gould's opinion of the value of a telegraph company varies according to circumstances. Mr. Gould is a sharp man who does not often allow any one to get ahead of him in any way, but there is no doubt that Garrett has got away with him. He did inform the public when he was running in oppo sition to the Western Union, that it was the most vulnerable company in the country now that he has further weakened it by loading it with water, he declares that there is no such thing as competition with it. It is the old story of the railway tycoon who got all his friends loaded up with stock of bis road, showing them its place on the map with a magnificent system of feeders joining it at every station. When the road went into the hands of the receiver his friends called to ask how this happened to a road with such a magnificent system of feeders: "Them," said the magnate, "them's suckers."

The Mutual Life of New York.

The forty-first annual statement of The Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, printed in another column, like all the reports that have preceded it, shows the continued prosperity and growth of this corporation. It is now as it has been for many years, the largest and strongest life insurance company in the world. Its assets are $101,148,248.25, surplus over $12,000,000, amount of policies in force over $367,000,000, income over $18,500^)00, and amounts said to policy holders last year $13,959,360, equal to over $46,000 every business day in the year. The Mutual Life has steadily adhered to it? original plan of affording the largest amount of insurance at the least price consistent with safety, and with the best interests of its insured. Each succeeding statement Bhows the wisdom of the policy inaugurated by this companv, benefitting old as well as new policy holders.

The Cincinnati Opera Festival.

The auction sale of season tickets, at the Cincinnati Opera Festival, is one of the remarkable events fn the amusement world of this country. Although Mr. Abbey and the College of Music presents for the Festival, which begins

Thirty Thousand Eggs.

Philadelphia Cor. Plttsburg:Com.-Garette,

One of the explanations of the rapid advancement in the price of egg$~ in this city ia. that sp^t^riators "have bought them up and are holding thlBm for higher: figures tjiaja are even now prevailing. Iaj Schuylkill -county, a firm has an ice-hooS6 in which are stored thirty thousand eggej which were purchased all the way

from

fifteen

to twenty cents per dozen. The market is bare of this article oi food, and it is predicted that they will reach .fifty cents per dozen within a months time. It is supposed that when they reach the latter figure the speculators will unload on the market.

Here is an opportunity for the business hens of Cincinnati' that have the interest of tlie city at heart.

Mary's

Deficiencies.

Pittsburg Dispatch.

Mary Anderson's success in England is attributed by an enthusiastic newspaper to the surpise of John Bull at the "loveliness: of this pure type, which embodies the highest ideals of Grecian art," While' his notion had been that this country "turns out only angular and scrawny women." If the acqnittal of American beanty from the change of scrawniness is to depend upon Mary'B appesWfiWs, it is to be hoped that she may be dissuaded from plaiying Ion, which exposes her lower extremitiesin a very indiscreet and by no.mean««ttr&ctive manner-•-,

SCROFULA

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Eryslpo las, Eczema, Blotches, Ringworm, Tumors, Carbuncles, Boils, and Eruptions of the Skin, are the direct result of an impure state of the blood.

To cure these diseases the blood must be purified, and restored to a healthy and natural condition. Ayeb'sSarsaparilla has for over forty years been recognized ly eminent medical authorities as the uiost powerful blood purifier in existence. It frees the system from all foul humors, enriches and strengthens the blood, removes all traces of mercurial treatment, and proves itself a complete master of all scrofulous diseases.

A-Becent Cure of Scrofulous Sores. "Some, months agoT was troubled with scrofulous sores (ulcers) on my legs. The limbs were badly swollen ami inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of offensive matter. Every remedy 1 tried failed, until I used Ayeb's Saksavarilla, of which I have now taken three bottles, with the result that tlie sores aro liealed, and my general health greatly improved. I feel very grateful for the good your medicine has done me.

Yours respectfully, Mrs.Anx O'Brian." 148 Sullivan St., New York, June 24,1882. Ugf* All persons Interested are Invited to call on Mrs. O'Brian also upon the Bev. Z. P. Wilds of 78 Bast 54th Street, New York City, who will take pleasure in testifying: to the wonderful efficacy of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, not only In the cure of this lady, but in his own case aud many others within his knowledge.

The well-known writer on the Boston Herald, B. W. Ball,of Rochester, N.H., writes, June 7,1882:

Having suffered severely for some years with Eczema, and having failed to find relief from other remedies. I have made .use, during the past three months, of Ayer's Sarsaparjlla, which has enected a complete cure. I oonaider it a magnificent remedy for all blood diseases."

Ayer'sSarsaparilla

stimulates and regulates the action of the digestive and assimilative organB, renews and strengthens the vital forces, and speedily cures Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Rheumatic Gout, Catarrh, General Debility, and all diseases arising from an impoverished or corrupted condition of the blood, and a weakened vitality.

It incomparably the cheapest blood medicine, on account of its concentrated strength, aud great power over disease.
