Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city in the west, so sheap that flour is manufactured at less aost 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 fits size In the west.

An "international complication" will come in right handy in the interim before the campaign is fairly on. The flood has lost its news value, and there had to be something to fill the first column in the newspapers.

The municipal election in Perinsyl vania on Tuesday showed the old time Republican majorities and clearly demonstrated that the disaffection which elected Pattison governor in 1882 has entirely passed away.

The Chicago Tribune in summarizing the outlook for the Democratic nomination eays "What is the result? Possibly a nonenity. Indeed a good many Democcrats are beginning to telk about running Hancock again."

Bob Inger?oil says: "The Democrats are hunting for a man, but, so far as I know, he has not been found. They need a candidate who believes in state sovereignty and Federal supremacy, in free trade and protection, and who was for and against the rebellion."

The Chicago Tribune says "hard work" was done by the Chicago delegation sent to Washington to secure the Democratic convention. The Associated Press report said the Chicago delegation apparently had plenty of money to spend, and was entertaining "lavishly." There are various kinds of work in politics, and some of it is very hard indeed.

The McDonald boom is to be kept booming, or, at least, McDonald is to be kept befoie the people at no matter what sacrifice of his personal conduct. The Globe-Democrat says:

An Indiana paper lets us into the secret of McDonald's popularity among the Democrats of that state. He is not "a cold, formal, polite man, as Hendricks is," it says, but he Is "blundering, hearty and loud," and blends readily with the average condition of things. That is to say, It goes on to Bpeclfy, he Is "the sort of individual who sleeps in his shirt and drawers," and who isn't above "belching at his meals." The only trouble seems to be that the qualities which so endear him to the Democratic heart of Indiana make him distasteful in sections where simplicity of manners is not so much prized, and the force of habit has ruled out the virtue of spontaniety, as It were.

The Express jesterday apologized to its readers for introducing the subject of newspaper circulation, but it was fearful that the reference to the Express' sui- riority in that regard would Btir up the animals. The trouble is simply this: Two years ago the Express' circulation was less than onethird of what it is at present. Its advertising patronage did not bear that proportion. To-day its circulation is as much as the combined circulation of the other daily papers, and merchants when handing in their advertisements have only one cause for hesitation. This they express in saying: "All these other fellows will be after me to get the same advertisement." Now we are aware that this condition of things is not pleasing to some oersons, bnt occasionally the truth must be told. The Evening Courier for instance is not pleased. We don't see why it should feel unkindly toward the Express. We have frequently said that it is agood paper, and said this notwithstanding it had made very mean inuendoes in its salutatory. We still say it is a good paper and we are surprised that it has been driven into being discourteous toward the Express simply because it does not

We have noticed the disadvantage of eating oranges, too, and have come to the conclusion that the only way to really enjoy an orange is to retire to some sheltered spot In the grove, strip, seize the orange and go in swimming in it.

The Feouliar St. Louis Drunk Peoria Transcript. A young St. Louis man went on his wedding trip to New York, and unfortunately became intoxicated. The New Yorkers, unaccustomed to the peculiarities of a St. Louis drunk, had the bacchanalian bridegroom arrested and confined as an Insane person. He was promptly, released as soon as he sobered up.

Confined Eloquence.

Chicago Inter Ocean. One of the most remarkable feats performed this session of congress is the sealing up of the Hon. Frank Hurd with a great free trade speeoh writhing In his internal organs. It shows herculean power somewhere. But the speech is in him, and the danger from explosion is equal to a steam boiler pressure of 120 pounds to the inoh. It is understood that Congressman Morrison is sitting on Hard's safety-valve.

News is Property.

New York Sun. A bill will soon be submitted to congress in which every self-sustain-ing and self-respecting newspaper in the land is deeply interested. The measure, which we believe has been prepared by the Hon. Henry Watterson, will recognize for the first time the fact that news is property,]and that the owners of property in news are entitled to the protection of the law.

News is sought, bought, sold and stolen. It is sought in every part of the world, frequently at enormous cost and through complex organizations requiring the investment of large amounts .of capital. Brains and money are freely expended in procuring news. It is bought for cash. It is sold for cash. The ownership passes from the seller to the purchaser precisely ae in the case of other things having market value. It is not only property, just as the white paper, the ink, the type, and the presses of the newspaper establishment are property of all. The newspaper exiBts only to publish it. The white paper carries it from the presses to the readers only because it is in itself a thing of value.

But while the owner of a copyrighted work of fiction, or of a copyrighted photograph, or map or chromo or piece of music is amply protected against piracy, the owner of news is at the mercy of thieves the moment that the first published copy of his journal reaches the market. Hundreds of piratical sheets have existed and still exist in the great cities solely because their is no law to puniBh their dishonest proprietors for preying npon the newspapers which pay their own way. The products of enterprise, perseverance, intellectual effort, and liberal expenditure of money, are seized by pirates and sold to the public contemporaneously and in direct competition with the wares of the real owner. While it is a crime to steal a single copy of the newspaper itself, worth in the market two or three or five cents, it is no crime, as the law stands, to steal that which gives value to every one of fifty or a hundred thousand copies of that newspaper.

The bill in question copyrighting news for twenty-four hours, is aimed at the sneak thieves, and only the sneak thieves can object to it. It commends itself to every honest man who believes that the products of skilled labor and merchandise bought and paid for are entitled to enjoy protection, not against fair competition but againBt dishonest misappropriation. The bill is in the interest of the public, for it protects and strengthens the agencies on which the public depends for the collection and publication of intelligence respecting the world's doings. All honest journalists and all honest citizens must hope that this bill will pass congress without delay. •k: •,

Tears of Blood.

The Archives d'Ophthalmologie states that observation leaves no room for doubt that the Bhedding of tears of blood really occurs, though such cases are rare. Referring to a recent case in point, the writer says that the phenomenon is not caused by any special local disease, though it generally coincides with other hemorrhages in the skin or mucous membranes. The blood lost varies from a few drops to a wineglassful the flow lasts but a few minutes, and is intermittent,

How Bernhardt Kept Her Promise, London Truth. On the eve leaving America after her successful tour, Madam Sarah Bernhardt received the visit of a not less enthusiastic than wealthy merchant of Chicago, who offered to buy up all the stalls, seats and boxes of the theatre if the great artist would give but one more performance of "FrouFrou." As her departure would not admit the offer of her admirer, but said: "Come to Paris and I promise you to play 'Frou-Frou' just to please you." On Thursday last the merchant of Chicago went to Bee the actress, guessing that Madam Bernhardt had not forgotten her promisb. He guessed rightly. "Frou.Frou" was immediately announced and the Chicago merchant not only took as many boxeB and stalls as were required for the accommodation of his numerous friends and acquaintances, but sent to Sarah a bouquet of three roses. They were kept together by a girdle of huge diamonds. fef 'in 4

A MAYOR ON A BUST.

He Paints His Town bed and Gives K. B. Hayes Back Talk. Fremont (O.) Special.

Mayor Lowenstein, who distinguished himself last night by howling through the town like a wild man, at the head of a band oi inebriated Italian musicians, is still engaged in painting the town red. His honor is a tall man, with a pi.ir of very long legs. The efforts of his own police force to capture him have proved futile. He can climb up an awning post with the agility of a cat, and when once on the top he kicks vicionsly at his pursuers. The town is in arms over the matter. Mayor Lowenstein has kept the place in a perfect ferment all day, and finally ex-President Hayes was sent for. He at once sought the drunken official. "This conduct is horrible!" said Mr. Hayes. "It would be bad enough in anyone, but for a man to act this way who has been elected chief magistrate of Fremont, on the temperance platform, is simply infamous. Hayes was very red in the face, and his stern remarks caused a good deal of excitement.

Mayor Lowenstein, who was covered with mud and had the front torn out of his shirt, gazed at Hayes with drunken indignation, and then gave one of his familiar war-whoops. "Who're you talking to, you old tal low candle?" demanded the mayor.. "I don't want you to address me in that manner, sir," said Mr. Hayes, moving back among the crowd." "You're a big nothin' shouted the mayor dancing around the pavement on one foot and squaring off. "Come right out here and see me down you in the gutter. Whoop!" and the mayor jerked off his hat and'kicked it clear across the street. Mr. Hayes called in an officer and wanted^ the mayor arrested, but the latter declined to act in the matter. The crowd then retreated, and the mayor, more excited than ever, rushed into the court room, called the judge a liar, and then undertook the task of clearing out the jury box. In the confusion that followed the judge left the bench, and it required the united efforts of lawyers and court officers to get the mayor out of the room.

His honor enojys the reputation of being a good fellow when Bober, and it is for this reason that nobody will interfere with him. The members of his family are deeply mortified over his conduct, and the shutters of the hoiuo on Hilton terrace are closed.

An indignation meeting of temper ance leaders was held at Mrs. Hayes: residence this evening, two hundred ladies being present. Mrs. Hayes presided, and spoke of the mayor's conduct as "shocking to the last degree.' She offered a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, providing for his instant removal from office.

Mayor Lowenstein was found at the entrance of the park shortly after 10 o'clock to-night. He had removed his boots and coat, and laid down in the snow for a sleep. In this condition he was carried home.

The British Cabinet. Jjgg

Chicago Inter Ocean. The British ministry, whose lease of power was threatened yesterday, went into office April 28, 1880. Wm. E, Gladstone took office as the first lord of the treasury and chancellor of the exchequer Iord Selbourne as lord high chancellor Earl Spencer, lord president of the council Baron Carlingford, lord privy seal Sir William Harcourt, secretary of state for the home department! Earl Granvillo, secretary of state for foreign affairs Earl of Kimberly, secretary of state for the colonies Marquis of Hartington, secretary of state for India Hugh C. E. Childers, secretary of state For war Earl of North brook, first lord of the admiralty John Bright, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster Joseph Chamberlain, president of the board of trade John G. Dodson, president of the local gov ernment board.

About a year ago Spencer was made lord lieutenant of Ireland, and Carlingford becrme president of the council as well as lord privy seal. John Bright resigned, and Dodson sue ceeded him, Sir Charles I'ilke becoming president of the local government board. Mr. Gladstone dropped one of his offices, chancellor of the exchequer, and Mr. Childers was transferred from tlie war department to take the work given up by Gladstone. The Marquis of Hartington took Childers' place in the war department, and the Earl of Kimberley Harrington's place in the India department, the Earl of Derby coming into the cabinet as secretary of state for the colonies.

This readjustment was made, it was understood at the time, in the interest of harmony in the Liberal party, the offices being pretty evenly distributed among Radicals and old Whigs. The ministry has been in oflice three years, nine months, and twenty-one days. The average duration of British ministries since the time of Walpole in 1714 is three years and eight months.

There are in the present house of commons 332 Liberals, 242 Conservatives, and 62 Home Rulers. Liberal majority over all, 28.

Foreclosed. \r

Wall Street News. A New Yorker, who was in Wheeling when the freshet reached its highest notch, saw a foundry being gradually surrounded by water, and much valuable stuff swept away without anyone putting forth a hand to preveni it. His anxiety finally compelled him to remark to a citizen: "I think that building could be saved." "Well, mebbe." "Won't any effort be made in that direction "Mebbe there will."

The man's nonchalance nettled the visitor, and he blurted out: It's a shame to see such apathy prevail!" "Stranger," calmly replied the other,

I don't know exactly what you mean by apathy, but if it relates to the three different mortgages on that foundry held by Boston folks you kin bet on a foreclosure in less'n an hour."

In about forty minutes the building went sailing down.

LIFE IN VIENNA^

Duelnf and Eating In the Gay Austrian

Austria out of Germany and brought it to the very feet of Prussia, upon which Austria used to look down rather haughtily, the sad news reached Vienna early in the morning, and the despair of the people, who were quite heartbroken, was absolutely universal. That lasted until three in the afternoon, when the terrible probability of Strauss' bell being countermanded diverted the attention of the politicallystricken people, who began to think which would be the more awful calamity the battle or the suspension of the ball. The afternoon passed in dreadful suspense, but the ball bills remained uncovered with the dreadful postponement. Then philosophy came to the aid of the young ladies, and from them speead to the young men. Would Austria regain German influence by their not dancing? Would Sadowa not be sad and accomplished fact whether they cried at home or not? Was it not best to bear up courageously and to gain strength by exercise? Thus good counsel prevailed, and the day that had dawned with consternation and despair heard the famous three-fourth in the evening, and the tears dried on those pretty young cheeks glowing with excitement over the "Blue Danube."

"What has happened?" "A battle has been fought, and— "Well?" "And we were routed the battle is lost." "Lost? Quite lost?" "Yes, your majesty, quite lost." "Nothing to be done? Nothing?"

AYER'S PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases whim, cause human suifering result from derangement of the stomach, bowels, and liver. ATES'S CATHABTIO PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are., especially designed to cure the diseases caused by their derangement, including Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sore, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by eminent physlolans 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 FILLS are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the only thing I could look to for relief. One dose will quickly 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.

"I have used AVKB'S PILLS In numberless Instances as recommended by you, and have never known them to fall to accomplish the desired result. We constantly keep them on hand at our home, and prize them as a pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine. FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

They have entirely corrected the costive habit, and have vastly improved my general health."

ATEB'S CATHABTIO PILLS correct irregularities of the bowels, stimulate the appetite and digestion, and by their prompt and thorough action give tone and vigor to the whole physical economy.

Although those waltzes of Thalberg are not what you. would call Viennese waltxes, yet they show that absolutely Viennese element, quite monopolised in that city, that hidden spring which lifts the left hand irresistibly to lift the dancer's foot. The Viennese, and the Viennese only, know how to dance, how to play, and how to write waltzes. No one equals Strauss' orchestra in that respect, and with no orchestra but a Viennese one could he perform it.
