Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city in the west, so cheap that flour Is manufactured at less oost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There ^re nine railroads leading into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city jf Its size In the west.

Is Terre Haute to be plunged into a gas and electric light war We hope not, One of these contests, judging from the experience of Evansville, Lafayette, and other cities, is worse than a flood.
The Indiana Greenbackers will hold a convention a* Indianapolis to-day to nominate a ticket. They will also de clare that the time has come for the Greenback party to save the country.
Messrs. Belford, Ochiltree, Jiobinson and Finerty manage to keep things lively in Washington. They are, judging from the press reports, about the only live persons in the house of representatives. But the evidence they furnish of their presence among the living raises the question as to the advisability of allowing them to monopolize so much of the attention of this and foreign countries.
An attorney and the presiding judge came near resorting to the manly art to settle a point at law in the trial of a caste in an Indianapolis court. The judge Btarted to accept the attorney's proposition to meet him face to face, hesitated, resumed his seat on the bench and fined the attorney for contempt of court, afterwards remarking that the strong language the court had used was intended for jocularity. Now, who will fine the judge if he doesn't also declare that he was joking when he assessed the fine on the attorney?
Itis reported that President Arthur's nearest friends say they have never succeeded in getting from him the slighest intimation that he wants the Chicago nomination. The gentleman who is now living in the White House is not in the habit of making mistakes and he shrewdly avoids doing any thing that may reflect on his administration. His first blunder or mistake is yet to be made. A cleaner and more respectable career is not on record. This is the best influence in his behalf for the nomination.
The New York newspapers have been engaged in a lively discussion of the question of circulation. St. Louis •readers have been furnished with the same entertainment, and now the Indianapolis papers are beginning alike controversy. Merely to keep up with the times the Express will remark that its circulation is larger than that of any daily or weekly and larger than the combined circulation of all other daily papers in Terre Haute. Our books are open to the inspection of any one who desires to learn the truth regarding that part of the Express' business. Inasmuch as we have done but little bragging lately, we may be pardoned for adding that during the past month the circulation of the Express has been increased over 300 copies daily.
The Democratic press having failed to laugh down the investigations of the killing of voters in the south are now charging that the evidence being taken is false and given by hired witnesses. They certainly will not claim that Prent Matthews was notassasinated as he dropped his vote into the ballot box. The only defense that has been made for that crime is that the killing was the result of a personal quarrel. But that won't do. The following resolutions tell the true story of the murder, especially when taken in connection with the fact that Barksdale, the murderer, was shortly afterward elected to an office of trast by his admiring fellow citizens. "Resolved, By the people of Copiah county, in mass meeting assembled this day, at the court house of said oounty, that if any person shall be injured, or at-

tern pted to be injured, either in person or property, in any manner by the said relatives or friends of said J. P. Matthews, that we hereby declare that we will hoia his said relatives or friends who participate accountable for the same, and that we hereby regard them without the pale and protection of the law and common enemies tf society, and that we will visit upon thein certain and swift retribution be it further 'Resolved, That so long as the said relatives and friends of J. P. Matthews obey the law, as becomes good citizens, we hereby pledge them the protection of the law. 'Resolved,'further, That In the opinion of this meeting it is necessary to the safety of society and the welfare of all races and classes In this country, that hereafter the Matthews family shall keep out of politics in Copiah county. "Resolved, further, That from henceforth no man, ,no set of men, shall organize the negro race against the whites In this county, and that If it shall be attempted In thefuturewe hereby give notice that it shall be at the peril of the person or persons attempting so to do. "Resolved, That we do hereby pledge ourselves each to the other, our lives and fortunes and our sacred honor, that we will all and individually from henceforth hold ourselves In readiness to enforce the foregoing resolutions, and to meet at any time upon the call of the-chairman of this meeting. "Resolved, That a committee of twentyfour from each supervisor's district be appointed by this chair to present a copy of these resolutions to the brothers and sons of the late J. P. Matthews, and that the same be published in the Copiah Signal and the Crystal Springs Meteor."
There is no way to avoid the consequences of these crimes. Halloing "Bloody Bhirt" will not keep people from knowing the truth nor will loud protestations of a desire for fraternal relations. These dodges have been used too often.
Some weeks ago it was announced that an effort would be made to pass a law copyrighting the newspapers in the large cities and thus deny the country press the use of news matter contained in the metropolitan papers. Naturally this scheme was denounced on all sides. The facts now made public by those engaged in the movement thoroughly explain the object of the proposed legislation and it will be seen that instead of the law operating to the disadvantage of the country newspaper the latter will be aided by it, It is simply intended to copyright all news matter for twenty-four hours. This does not prevent the country newspaper copying from a city daily, because the country paper would not be issued inside of twenty-four hours from the time of publication of the daily. The law is intended to prevent the concurrent use of news which is obtained at heavy expense. In Chicago, St. Louis, and the large cities, the press rooms of the daily papers are watched, and first copies being secured, the pirate quickly prepares many plate impressions of the best telegraph news and sends by the early morning train these plates to journals in other towns. So it will be seen that nothing more will be accomplished by the law than to prevent the purloining of matter gathered at great expense before the journal which owns it has an opportunity to get it before its readers.
The beneficiaries of this new style of journalism( of course set up the cry that the country press will suffer. They resort to
thiB
dodge because they
can not justify their own conduct, and dare not discuss the real iesue, for if they do their readers will be informed that their telegraph news is a deception. For instance, an evening paper in this city gets its plates from St. Louis. They are made up from matter stolen from the morning daily papers in that city, and reach hereon the afternoon train. When they appear in the paper here the date lines are of the same date as the paper, but in fact the news was sent the day before. It appeared in the Express in the morning, but to keep up the sham the date is changed and the reader deceived. These snide journals are springing up in many places, especially in smaller towns, cities of the size of Terre Haute generally producing newspapers that get news direct as does the Express. These cheap concerns in the smaller towns, we hold, will hurt the circulation of the country weekly papers, and a law preventing the system of piracy will of course be of as much benefit to the country weekly as it will to the city daily.
