Terre Haute offers manufacturing mJustries unequalled inducements. Fuel IB cheaper than in any city in the west, so Sheap that flour is manufactured at less jost 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 tits size in the west.

The Gazette has finally awakened to the fact that we are to have aBoard of Trade and says it is a good enterprise. We presume now t.h«re can be no doubt of the success of this movement.

The president issued an order yesterday announcing the retirement of General Sherman, and in doing so paid a very high and deserved compliment to the general "whose lofty sense of duty has been a model for all soldiers since he entered the army in July, 1840."

St. Louis firemen have a mania for rushing into danger. Since the heroic acts of some of the firemen at the Southern hotel fire several years ago a number of the laddies have lost their lives in fighting fire. Night before last a dozen of them were drp.gged from a building nearer dead than alive.

At the last meeting of the city connoil Dr. Swafford asked for an appropriation of $50 for street cleaning purposes. Just what the doctor thought could be done with $50 devoted to the streets in their present condition is more than the average intellect can comprehend, but the ulterior purpose of our Democratic friends stands out as plain as a bump on a log. About the time the active work in the spring campaign begins we will see several hundred able bodied voters at work under the street commissioner. In the meantime we suppose we must grin, and bear the mud about with us on our feet.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Gazette, is facetious over the sufferings of those cities which are located on the banks of the overflowed Ohio river. It is a rare subject for humor. But that aside, it has led the Gazette into allowing one more vague intimation as to its views on the tariff to appear in its oolumus. Speaking of the Rood the Gazette says:

And all this is more aggravating when it is remembered that the policy of the government Is to impose a tariff on lumber, thus offering a premium for getting rid of the trees of which we stand in so great need and the destruction of which is attended with so much loss from floods and drouths.

A few days ago the Gazette reprinted along letter intended to show that workingmen received lower wages by reason of a protective tariff, heading the|letter with an approving sentiment. So it is that by the casual remarks we shall know where our friend stands on a question upon which every other newspaper in the country has expressed an opinion.

The effort to teach the responsibility for the failure to teach the history of the war in the public schools at Indianapolis has brought out a card from President Geo. P. Brown, of the Normal school, saying that he excluded the history when superintendent of the city schools in that city. He gives as his reason that that part of the history then in use, which treated of the civil war, was not up to a standard deemed good enough for the youthful mind. President Brown shows conclusively that his action was not dictated by any desire to conciliate a disloyal sentiment, but this he need not have done, as everyone who knows President Brown knows that he would be the last person to be actuated by such motive. The whole subject therefore resolves itself into the question as to whether there is no history of the civil war suitable for the youth in the public schools. If not then we are in favor of chartering a competent historian to write a history from which the scholars in every public school may learn that there was a war of the rebellion that the rebellion was put down and that slavery was abolished, and the injury to anyone's feelings in giving the facts regarding that war ought to cut no figure in the matter.

THE EXPRESS.

Remarks of Other Newspapers as to Oui® Good Looks and Libel

i-.i-. tSuir, Appendages.

"-T- DISCOUNT FOR. CASH. «.' Saturday Mall. fe&t

The Express has another libel suit on its hands, and the same lawyers to fight as before—the Davieses, McNutts and I. N. Pierce. Webb Bay lees, the Maxville saloon keeper, thinks he was damaged by certain articles printed in ihe Express ahout the time of the finding of Mrs. Nelson's body over the river. Three articles reflected on him, and he want's $5,000 for each—$15,000 in all—a small discount, possibly, for cash.

WILL KEEP OK GIVING TITE NEWS. Sullivan Democrat.

George M. Allen, the proprietor of the Terre Haute Express, must be rich, judging from the propensity of some people to sue him for libel. He has scarcely got through with his Baur case before a chap named Bayless gets after him a $15,000 suit for libel in connection with the publication of theories relative to the murder of Susannah

Nelson. The Express will doubtless keep on giving its 'readers all the news. ...

FREE ADVERTISING.

Seymour Business.

The Terre Haute Express has "done gone" and made a ten strike. It said divers and sundry naughty things about one Daniel W. Bayless, a saloon keeper, implicating him in the murder of Mrs. Susannah Nelson, whose body was ^recently found near Terre Hau f.e. Dan iel is a so-called detective, but the Express has made things look rather bad for him and the chances are that he knows more than is yet told. But sueing a newspaper for libel is a good way to get before the world, and if the Express don't give him plenty of free advertising we are mistaken in the make-up of that paper.

MASTERSTROKE OF ENTERPRISE. Bloom field Democrat.

The Terre Haute Express of last Sunday was a masterstroke of enterprise, even for that excellent and enterprising paper. It contained ten pages of nine columns each, each column 25 inches long, in all, 2,250 linear inches of matter. The Express is one of the best daily papers in Indiana, and is fearless and outspoken in defense Of what it regards as truth and right. It is now blessed with another libel suit, the third within the last year. As a result it has doubled its circulation and is making mints of money.

THE DAILY IS HIGHLY PRIZED. Wcstfield Pantagraph.

The Terre Haute Expess is one of the best papers in this section of the country. We prize the daily more higly than any other that comes to our office.

FIFTEEN CENTS TO COMPROMISE. Clay County Enterprise.

The Terre Haute Express has an other libel suit on hand. This time the aggrieved party, Webb Bayless, a Macksville saloon keeper, wants $15,000 for remarks about him hrmijht, out in discussing the Nelson murder. The Express should give the fellow 15 cents and compromise the matter,

GOOD BACKING OFFERED.

Clark County Herald.

The Terre Haute Express has another libel suit on its hands. Webb Bayless, the Macksville saloonkeeper, has sued for $15,000 damage to his character by the publishing of three items in the Express concerning his supposed complicity in the Nelson murder. But we'll back Geo. M. Allen against all the saloon-keepers and deadbeats they can bring against him. "THESE FELLOWS." Sullivan Union.

Mr. Allen, editor of the Terre Haute Express, is in luck. Webb Bayless has brought suit against that paper, and put his damages at the modest sum of $15,000. These fellows will give the Express a bigger boom than they contracted for if they don't let up on this business.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

A Careful Review of the Situation. New York Tribune, February 8.

The money market continues in an altogether phenomenal condition. Having mounted above the highest point ever reached before, the unemployed reserve of the New York banks does not stop there, but mounts still higher, week after week. The unemployed cash held by the banks is now about $23,000,000 larger than in any previous year since resumption of specie payments, and $55,000,000 larger than was hold at the same date in the year of resumption, and $3" 000,000 larger than was held at the same date in 1880, a year of general prosperity. The surplus reserve, or excess of the cash held over the legal proportion of deposits, is now $19,208,375. Last year at this date it was $7,840,050 in 1882 it was $6,381,825 in 1881 about the same, and in 1880 less than $4,000,000. The money market is easy, and the demand so inadequate that rates of exchange stand close to the shipping point. A decrease in shipments of grain or cotton, further movement of securities to this side, or an increasad demand for money in Europe—contingencies which cannot be considered improbable—might at any time cause exports of gold.

It is impossible to account for these phenomena without attributing them largely to the financial measures of the government. Under the silver act and the gold certificates act the treasury is injecting into the circulation so vast an amount of paper and other unavailable currency that an unprecedented surplus collects here at New York. Presently there is likely to be an overflow, and then, under the universal law that the poorest currency always remains, the gold will go abroad. Last week the treasury took in $718,952 in gold, $1,281,830 in silver, $168,914 in fractional silver, and $929,329 in legal tenders, but it put out in place of these sums $1,245,370 additional gold certificates, and only $22,500 silver certificates. In effect, it redeemed a large amount of useless silver, which was thrown

back from

the circulation, by issuing more gold certificates—more paper promises to pay gold on demand. Since December

E E N A E 8 S S A A O N I E A 9 I 8 4

31, the treasury has taken in $5,187^260in ilver and putout $658,790 in siller certificates, so that about $4,500,SOufSn silve* has been redeemed by the issue of paper promises to pay gold. The gold taken in has amounted to $3,451,620 and the legal-tender notes in excess of currency certificates issued to $0,515,152, but the exchange for these sums and f^r the silver redeemed it has put out $15,480,440 additional gold notes. Surely it can not be said that thi3 indicates'a healthy monetary condition. But our Democratic congress has no time to consider financial dangers it has been en-' gaged in the Fitz John Porter

Concerning the demand for money abroad, it should be noted that considerable sums have been withdrawn from the balances of foreign bankeis here, in preparation for the new French loan of $70,000,000. The failure of a large operator at London has also caused some uneasiness there, and there have been troubles at Montreal. It is noted as an astonishing fact that $1,500,900 in gold has recently been shipped from London to Australia, though, out of $38,600,000 gold received from all sources by Great Britain last week, over $11,280,000 came from Australia. Such scarcity there as to cause shipments from England indicates that the demand from England for some time to come cannot be supplied iu the usual measure from that quarter.

The struggles between labor and capital are not diminishing. The great strike of window glass workers came to an end last week, but the spinners at Fall River resolved to strike. In several iron establishments work at reduced wages lias begun, but the dissatisfaction among miners increases in several states. The prices of products do not change to the disadvantage of the laborer, though it is unhappily true that retail prices do not always promptly answer a decline in wholesale quotations. If it were, the workingman might congratulate themselves that the cost of livinir had not been lower since 1878. While provisions, coffee, sugar and tobacco were firm last week, and tea was active with a sharp advanced in somg grades, and cotton made an advance of one-sixteenth, the price of dry goods tended downward, and there was a decline in breadstuff's. The only noteworthy change in goods, curiously, was the result of very low prices made for some brown and colored cottons, regardless of the market for raw material. The depression in flour, wheat and com has been increased by falling markets abroad and scanty export demand, but it is the natural consequence of the establishment of artificially high prices last fall, and the consequent accumulation of enormous unsold Btocks in our markets. To all appearances, customers in this country can safely calculate upon cheap breadstuff's this year at least until luly.

FOREIGN MINISTERS' DRESS.

Dudif.il Diplomatic Costhmes of Many Years Ago.

Carp writes in Cleveland Leader: The origin of this idea of clothes making the foreign minister dates back to Ben Franklin, who appeared in citizen's dress at the courts of Europe about the time of the formation of our government. Later ministers, however, did not follow his example, and in 1817 American ministers wore "a white silk: straight, standing cape, embroidered with gold, single-breasted, straight or round button hole, slightly embroidered buttons plain, or, if they can be had, with the artillerist's eagle stamped upon them, i. e. an eagle flying with a wreath in its mouth, grasping lightning in one of its talons cuffs embroidered in the manner of the cape white cassimere breeches, gold knee-buckles and three cornered chapeau, not so large as those used by the French, nor so small as those of the English. A black, cockade, to which an eagle has been attached, sword, etc., corresponding."

Picture, if you can, how our ministers then looked I can't. So the custom continued until, think, the days of Andrew Jackson who, after all, was a snob in such matters, and who prescribed the following change in the interest of cheapness: "American ministersat foreign courts shall wear a black coat with a gold star in each side of the collar, near its termination, the underclothes to be black or white, at the option of the wearer. A three-cornered chapeau de bras, with a black cockade and gold eagle, and a steel, ornamented sword with a white scabbard."

HOW BiilARS FISH

They Are Expert fiihars and Very Fond of the Water.

Very few people know that bears take to the water naturally, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. They roam over the mountains and through the forests, dig open rotten logs for ants and worms, and secnre all the hornets' nests they can and tear them to pieces and eat the young grubs, pick berries of all descriptions and eat them, and would seem to belong to the dry land animals.

The fact is different. They love the water, not, perhaps, as well as the moose and deer, but better than most dry land animals.

They are very fond of fish, and are expert fishermen, and show more cunniDgand instinct, if not reason, than many city chaps I have seen about the lakes.

I came suddenly upon a very large bear in a thick swamp, lying upon a large hollow log across a brook fishing, and he was so much interested in his sport that he did not notice me until I approached very near to him, so that I could see exactly how he 'baited his hook and played his fish. He fished in this wise: There was a large hole through the log on which he lay, and he thrust his forearm through the hole and held his open paw in the water and waited for the fish to gather around and into it, and, when full, he clutched his fist and brought up a handful of fish and sat and ate them with great gusto then down with the paw again, and so on.

The brook was fairly alive with little trout and red sided suckers and some black suckers, so the old fellow let himself out on the fishes. He did not eat their heads. There was quite a pile of them on the log, I suppose the oil in his paw attracted the fish and baited them even better than a fly hook, and his toe-nails were his hooks, and sharp ones, too, and once grabbed the fish are sure to stay.

They also catch frogs in these forest brooks, and drink of the pure water in hot summer days, and love to lie and wallow in the muddy swamps as well as our pigs in the mire.

a

married woman, and settling with her for awhile in the Palmer house, Chicago, is at his old tricks again. He this afternoon eloped with Mrs. Hemy Wilson, a married lady whose husband is a grain merchant here, and the father of a very interesting family. The elopers met on Fourth street, near the Planter's house, and when last seen were boarding the steamer Baton Rouge. She left at dusk for New Orleans. Mrs. Wilson's husband, when told of her departure, was very much cast down, he having looked upon her up to the time of her departure as a loving and faithful spouse.

Mrs. Dixon never returned to St. Louis after her escapade with Curtis, and while her husband and three little ones are here her body lies in a grave on the cost of Florida.

They often cross narrow places in lakes by swimming, and also rivers, and seem to lrve to take a turn in the water. I once saw one swimming from the mainland to the big island in Mooselucmagantic lake, witlr 'just a streak of his back out of water, look ing like a dog moving along. Sometimes you see only their heads out of water at other times half of their bodies are to be seen. We account for this difference by their condition. If fat, the grease helps buoy them up if lean, they sink lower in the water.

BURIED ALIVE.

A Young Lady Consigned to the Grave While in a Tranee. Dayton (O.) Special

A sensation has been created here by the discovery of the fact that Miss Hockwalt, a young lady of high social connections, who was supposed to have died suddenly January 10, was buried alive. The horrible truth was discovered a few days ago, and since then it LMW Irvvu l/Livf iLiv v»l• TilC Circumstances of Mies Hockwalt's supposed death were peculiar. It occurred on the morning of the marriage of her brother to Miss Emma Schwin-J, at Emanuel's church. Shortly before 6 o'clock the young lady was dressing for the nuptials and had gone into the kitchen. A few moments afterward she was .found silting on a chair with her head leaning against the wall, and apparently lifeless. Medical aid was summoned in Dr. Jewett, who, after examination, pronounced her dead. Mass was being read at the time in Emanuel's church, and it was proposed to postpone the wedding, but Father Holine thought best to continue, and the wedding was solemnized in gloom by low mass. Examination showed that Anna was of excitable temperament, nervous and afflicted with sympathetic palpitation of the heart. Dr. Jewett thought this the cause of the suppqsed death. On the following day the lady wa§ interred in Woodland. Friends of Mit?s Ilockwalt were unable to forget .the terrible impression and several ladies observed that her ears bore a remarkably natural color, and could not dispel the idea that she was not dead. Thay conveyed their opinion to Annie's parents, and the thought" preyed upon them so that the body was taken from the grave. It is stated that when the coffin was opened it was discovered that the supposed inanimate body had turned upon its right side. The hair of the head had been torn out in handfuls and the flesh of the fingers had been bitten from the bones. The body was reinterred and efforts were made to keep the matter quiet, but there are those who state that they saw the body and know of the truth of the facts narrated.

How to Water Plants at t.his Season. But at this time of year be careful about watering your plants. If the water stands in the pot without immediately sinking into the soil, turn that plant out of its pot and pickaway some of the earth from the bottom of the ball, or if convenient repot the plant. Worms clog the drainage. You may sometimes catch them by turning the plants out of the pots and picking out the worms but if you fail to see the worms, apply some lime or soot water. Most plants relish it, but worms dislike it. While vigorous plants, as cinerarias, want copions waterings, such plants as eoleuses, fresines, ageratums, and the like, that you are merely wintering over for next summer's garden, snould not get more than will keep them fresh and plump. Succulent plants, as cactuses, century plants, houseleeks and the like, require-very little if any water. Old fuchsias, lemon-scented verbenas and deciduous woody plants of that nature, if kept cool and dry in winter, start to grow more kindly in spring and when you do wish to start them, sprinkle them overhead oftener than at the root, and it will help them to break more evenly.

A Second-Hand Food Shop. The New York Sun has discovered a man in that city who buys all the "leftover" food of the Fifth Avenue, St. Nicholas, Continental, and Gilsey hotels, which he then sells to people in the poorer portion of the city. He pays as high as $25 per week to the first-named house. As things are never heated up twice in these hotels the stuff is sold to him or thrown away. He has twelve

wagons

and caljs

twice a day at these places. This is not what is left over by the guests, but what is cooked in excess of the demand. The food is clean and wholesome. It is taken out of the warmingpans, and each variety of food kept separate and sold to the people at the up-town shops of this man. Fruit,

cold tea and coffee, cake, pudding, ice* cream, etc., are also bought, "tie has been in the business twenty-five years and has made a "barrel" of money.

Beaten Oat of a Good Thing. Detroit Free Press. There was a stranger from down the river hunting along the wharves yesterday in search of the office of a certain steamboat line, and by-and-by he came across a man who replied:

Why, sir, that line went out of existence last fall." "All goiie, eh

Yes, sir. No boats—no office—no nothing." "Well, that's.a mean trick to play on a man, and I don't care who hears me say so. I'm a fisherman from down below." "I see." "Last fall one of the boats of that line backed into my skiff and smashed it to pieces and drowned my old woman." "Too bad." "You bet it was. They were very anxious to settle, and I was offered a free pass over the line for life, or $25 in cash. The old woman was worth more'n that, but I didn't want a law suit, and so I took the pass. I thought it would be kind o' nice to sail up and down the river whenever I wanted to, and have nobody demanding tickets." "Well, you are left." "Sure's you're born. Left on a good skiff—left on a wife who'-d catch more bass than any two men in Detroit— left on a pass from. Detroit to Maiden good for life."

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipelas, 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'S SABSAPABILLA has for over forty years been recognized by eminent medical authorities as the most 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 Recent Cure of Scrofulous Sores. "Some months ago I was troubled with scrofulous sores (ulcers) on mv legs. The limbs were badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of offensive matter. Every remedy I tried failed, until I usea AYEB'S SARSAPABV.LA{ of which I have now taken three bottles, with the result that the sores are healed, and my general health greatly improved, 1 feel very grateful for the good your medicine has done me.
