Terre Haute offers manufacturing lnlnstrles unequalled inducements. Fuel ts cheaper than In any city in the west, so jheap that flour is manufactured at less jost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There are nine railtoads leading into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city )f its size In the west.

Ex-Speaker Keifer has placed himBelf in a very unenviable position in the Boynton quarrel. His attitude is in fact becoming pitiable.

Terre Haute is a great city. It is a growing and prosperous city. It now has an energetic Board of Trade, is to have a new government building, a new court house, is on the eve of a building boom, also a manufacturing boom and there are bright prospects of a glorious republican victory at the elections this year. What more could be asked?

"The value of school property in the South is about $6,000,000, against $188,000,000 in the North. The Rev. Dr. Gray, of Little Rock, says that one city in the North circulated more books in a single year than eleven southern states." And still we are informed that there is no more crime in the South than there is in the North, when the fact is beyond dispute that ignorance and crime go hand in hand.

So far this year the list of disasters fully equals that of last year for the same months. The flood has done more damage than the one a year ago, and the storm of Tuesday has added greatly to the destruction, as will be seen by the dispatches this morning The mine disaster in Pennsylvania is simply appalling, and one is forced to ask, when are we to reach the end of the dreadful era of fatalities that has been with us for more than a year Pa®t _____________

Dana is in Washington, as is Chairman IWiium, and both are said to be in favor nf Payne for president. The New York World says it violates no confidence when it says that Tilden regards Payne as "the most available candidate for the presidency yet named on the Democratic side." By the time the convention meets, that righteous indignation displayed by some of the Democratic press at the manner of the senatorial election in Ohio will have subsided, and Payne and his tank will be worshipped on all sides.

The Republican party has a duty to perform this year which is really of more importance than the election of a Republican president. We mean the permanent relief of all citizens in the south from the terrorizing domination of the shot gun party There has not been a free election in the south since the war. That fact has been frequently established and the investigations now being conducted show that the south is no nearer a free ballot than it was ten years ago. It is the imperative duty of the Republican party to put an end to the present state of affairs. We say it is the duty of the Republican party because there is no hope of any other party performing the service. Speakers must if necessary go into southern states and insist that the people there be accorded perfect freedom in their political acts, and if necessary the power of the government should be used to establish the fact that hereafter there must be no intimidation of voters that one political party may remain in the ascendency.

The Rock vl Us Tribune puts some pertinent questions to any good Republican editor who thinks he Is able to answer them. It says: "We should like for some good orthodox Republican editor to explain how they can reconcile these positions they all admit that the revenue Is too large and ought to be reduced they all oppose reducing the whisky tax. They must see that if the present taxation continues it will destroy the National bank system in three years, and they, of course, oppose that. Now one of three things must be: abolish the tobacco and whisky tax. or lower tariff, or destroy the National banks. Which are you in favor off?"

Which one are you in favor of? That Is tbe question. The democratic party has signified its Intention to make a cut In the tariff. But what do the republicans propose. So far as we are able to understand It, their position Is that they are opposed to the democratic party's doing anything, and refuse to do anything themselves.—[Evansvllle Tribune-News.

"Good orthodox Republican editors'' do not oppose reducing the tariff. What they do oppose is the reduction of the tariff when such reduction removes the protection to American industries and labor. The tariff can be reduced and the revenue reduced, and at the same time growing industries will be fully protected from the competition of foreign products that are product by the pauper labor of flu

rope It is on this point that "good orthodox Republican" editors take their stand. They oppose the redaction of tariff on sach articles as would rash into this country at double the present rate, competing with our own manufactures and by doubling the amount of imports really increase the aggregate revenue even should a 20 pei cent, horizontal reduction be made as proposed by the Morrison bill. The majority of the Democrats in congress, and we believe in the country, are in favor of withdrawing the protective featnre of our tariff laws, and this purpose is more in (heir thoughts than the consideration of reducing the revenue, which is now so large that a surplus is left in tbe treasury each year. There is room for a reduction of the tariff that will decrease the revenue and at the same time not interfere with American industries. This must be done wisely and with a care for home interests. We doubt the wisdom of the Democrats in their attempt at reducing the revenue, even should they be trying to reach that end and no other. Some of the bast informed men in their own party have declared that the Morrison bill will increase the revenue by increasing the imports to such an extent as to greatly overbalance the 20 per cent, reduction.

The Thirteenth.

Wall Street News. "During the craze for Union Pacific stock," said an old broker, "I furnished shares to thirteen different clergymen in New England, all of whom sold their government bonds or took their savings out of the bank to buy with." "And how did they make out?": "Twelve of 'em lost threa-fourths of their Investment." "And what about the thirteenth?" "Oh, It was through him that I sold to the other twelve, and he made about 15,000!"

Incidental Protection.

New York Hun, (Dem.) The phrase incidental protection, which is so popular, and which was employed by Jefferson, Jackson, Silas Wrlgut, and others of the greatest men of the Democratic party, Is expressive and convenient, no doubt, but under the electric light of a strict analysis it is a phrase without .diS' tinctlve meaning. There is really no dif ference between incidental protection and any other. All protection is applied for the purpose of building up American industry, and in a tariff framed with an eye to nothing but revenue, there cannot be any protection at all.

Missouri Senator-

St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Senator Cockrell, tilting back in his chair in the senate the other day, fell sprawling on the floor, to the amusement of his associates and the galleries. We are glad that Senator Cockrell does something ouce in a while to let us know that he is in the senate. Mr. Thackary somewhere says thatamnn who cannotcontrlbute to the conversation of an evening party can at least wear an embroidered waistcoat and as Senator Cockrell does not seem inclined to oratory, perhaps It would be well for him to turn a somersault once in a while.

Women Who Clip Coupons. Washington Letter.

A publication of the list of holders of registered government bonds who get big checks every quarter, and of tbe amounts set opposite their names, would be much morejinteresting and might lead to more results than the exposure of the names of humble pensioners, which was recently made by order of congress at great expense and trouble. A friend of mine who gained a glimpse into the treasured tome at the department says he country would be surprised at the wives and daughters of men either bankrupt or in embarrassed circumstances who figure in the list as holders of big blocks of these safest of securities. A young lady of Philadelphia is down for $1,800,000, and two in Baltimore for $1,500,000 each. To publish their names would set too many young iellows wild. If congress wants to make a sensation let it order this list published suddenly, before there is a chance to alter or withdraw any names.

Freddie Was Not the Victim. New Tork World.

Freddie Gebhard was blamed the othei day in a Washington letter as the victim of Butler Mahone, theyoang son of the Readjuster senator. As the story went, Gebhard introduced young Mahone in his club and they sat down at a game of poker. The senator's son lost $300, for which he gave a draft on hiB father, which Gebhard indorsed and had to pay, as the Virginian refused to pay llis son's debt. Now it appears that the victim was not Freddie, but a young club man, a nephew of Soger A. Pryor, the lawyer, who it was who sent the scathing letter to Senator Mahone.

Circus Tent Business Dull. New York Sun.

"The circus tent business is rather dull this year," a West street manufacturer said. "Generally, at about this time we are busy getting ready new tents for the coming season. We might have had some orders, but the figures were so low that there was no money in it. Some Eastern and Western mafcers have cut down the prices, but I guess when the circus men come to use the tents they will wish they had I kept on buying in New York. I

Washington Star: An application purporting to be. signed by Col. Maurice Pinchover has been sent to the United States patent office for a patent for an adjustable dog's tail. The application claims that all dogs which either by nature or by accident, are minus a tail encounter great difficulties in turning sharp corners, an their center of gravity is thrown too near the fore-legs, and they have to go slow or lose their balance. The proposed tail can be fastened on the stump, and as the dog turns to the right the tail will tend to throw his rear to the left, thus enabling him to turn easily and rapidly with losing his equilibrium.

Frozen Fresh Herrings.

New York Sun.

"Herring-g-g-s, herring-e-e-oh," is a vender's cry dinged into the ears of housewives unceasingly for a few days past. "I never saw so many herring in market before," said, on Saturday, one of the firm of Benjamin & West, in Fulton fish market. Herrings, fresh and frozen stiff, filled the bi^wooden vats, and fishermen in rubber boats hurried to and fro with bushel baskets filled with them. 'What is more," continued the dealer, "over sixty fishing boats loaded with herring are waiting in different ports between here and Gloucester until the herripg boats now here unload and get away and give them a chance for a berth in New York. The boats have been to Fortune Bay or Grand Menan and loaded up. There are larger boats this year than usual. Some will hold 165,000 pounds, dumped into the hold. The average capacity is 140,000 pounds. That makes over 8,000,000 pounds to come. New Yorkers can live on herring in Lent and have enough to eat. How are they Bold to consumers? Mostly out of venders' carts."

A Vandalia Mishap.

In the Silver creek bottoms near St. Jacobs, Ills., about 2 o'ccock yesterday tnorning, five cars on tbe west bound freight No. 27 were ditched by a broken truck. Word was at once dispatched to the Effingham shops, and a wrecking car and men were Sent to the spot. The ground was very soft, owing to the continued rains, and the workmen had considerable trouble in putting the Cars that were not damaged sufficiently to prevent them continuing their journey on the track. The others were rolled out of the way. No tthe was hurt. The accident delayed east-bound passenger No. 2 so long that a "number two was made up in thiB city and sent to Indianapolis. When the regular No. 2 and the Indianapolis accommodation arrived here, they were coupled together and sent on as "number^ two, extra." The track where the accident happened sustained considerable damage, but hus been repaired.

A HERO'S ACT.

An Incident of Tuesday's Storm at Evansville. Evansville Courier.

One of the most gallant acts as well as daring in its character, was that of Mr. James Reynolds, shipping clerk of Messrs. Scantlin & Son. in his rescue of two young men and three boyB, yesterday, during tho height of the gale. The home of Mr. Chas. Wade, No. 1,225 upper Water street, stood yesterday on the bank of the Ohio to-day its fragments are mingling with the flood. Two sons of Mr. Wade, Albert and Charles, young men, Oscar Carlstedt, Frank Rnsche, and Young Wehrstedt, lads, were in the building «hen the storm commenced. The house faced Water street, while the rear rested on the bank of the river. Shortly after the storm began, the

waves washed the foundation from under the kitchen, and that portion of the house was torn loose, and went down in the rushing water. The dining room followed, and then a bed room, leaving only the parlor as a place of safety for the people within. All were terribly frightened, not knowing what moment tbe room they were in wonld follow the other portions of the buildings. Young Carlstedt and Wehrstedt determined to wade out to some peach trees that stood in the front yardi and both succeeded in doing so at the risk of being drowned. The trees, as soon as they could get a firni hold of, they citing to, althotigh eveiy waVe dashed over them.

Soyessituation

heir was discovered by emin Scantlin's foundry, but no aid could be rendered by them, not having skiff or other means of getting to them. Word was sent to Mr. George Venneman, at the corner of Adams avenae, for him to telephone for a skiff. This he did, sending word to Mr. John Sinzich. In the meantime he found a man named Henry James, who said he had a skiff near Deegle's butcher shop on Bayless street,and told him to bring it at once,at the same time going back to Scantlin's foundry to oncourage the boys to hold on, as relief was coming. But before $ames could get there,young Reyholds jumped into a scow-built fcontriyance and, unaided, made his way to the boys, having to break down two fences before he could reach them. Ycung Carlstedt Was first rescued. He WaS blaCk and blue in the face, and it badly cut by the waves and the limbs of the trees as each wave rolled over him. Wehrstedt was then taken from hia position and then the rescue of the other three was jnade, ina all brought out safely. The boys had been in the trees nearly an hour and were entirely exhausted—nor could they have held their positions much longer. The act of Reynolds was one that received the hearty cheers and congratulations of the large crowd attracted to the scene, and it merited it, "t,

The extensive use of tliese PILLS by eminent physicians in regular practice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profession.

These PILLS are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely free from calomel or any other injurious ingredient.

A Sufferer from Headache writes: "AVER'S PILLS are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the only thing 1 could look to for relief. One dose will qoickly move my bowels and free my head from pain. They are the most effective and the easiest physic I have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to speak in their praise, and I always do so when occasion offers.

CANCER

The. experience In

the

treatment of

Cancer with Swift's Specific (8. ,8. S.) would seem to warrant ns lh saying that it will cure this miich dreaded scourge. Persons so afflicted are invited to correspond with us.

I believe Swift's Specific has saved my life. I had virtually lost use of the upper part of my body and my arms from the poisonous effects of a large cancer on my neck, from which I haa suffered for 20 years. S. 8. Si has relieved me of all Boreness, and the poison Is being forced out of my system. I will soon be well.

W. R. ROBISON, Davlsboro, Ga.

Two months ago my attention was called to the case of a woman afflicted with a cancer on her shoulder at lesst 5 inches in circumference, angfy, painful, and giving the patient no rest day or rfight for 6 months. 1 obtained a supply of Swift's Specifib fOr her. She has taken 5 bottles and the ulcer is entirely healed up, only a very small scab rein inlng, and her health is better than for 5 years past seems to be perfectly cured.

REV. JESSE H. CAMPBELJ., Columbus, Ga.

I have seen remarkable results from the use of Swift's Specific on a cancer. A young man near here has been affltcled five years with the most angry looking eating cancer I ever saw, and was nearly dead. The first bottle made a wonderful change, and after five bottles were taken, he Is nearly or quite well. It is truly wonderful. M. F. CRUMLEY, M. D.,
