Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled Inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city In the west, so eheap that flour is manufactured at less cost 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 Of its size in the west.

It is Baid the selection oi Chicago favors McDonald for the Democratic nomination. The idea that any particular location is to the benefit of any particular candidate is an erroneous one, as has been demonstrated at many conventions, and never so markedly as at Cincinnati in 1876, when all the local influence, aided by some tall lying by those who had charge of the ball arrangements which prevented additional balloting on one day of the convention to prevent the momination of Blaine in the interest of Bristow. Still, Bristow was not nominated.

The following well-known Republicans are mentioned as probable and possible candidates for the congressional nomination in this district: Monroe Milford, of Fountain Michael White, of Montgomery Peter Kennedy, of Montgomery R. B. F. Peirce, of Montgomery James Johnson, of Parke R. B. Sears, of Vermillion W. "W. Carter, of Clay B. E. Rhoads, of Vigo 8. C. Stimson, of Vigo Geo. W. Faris, of Vigo H. C. Nevitt, of Vigo Geo. W. Kleiser, of Vigo R. G. Hervey, of Vigo J. B. Hager, of Vigo, and W. H. Armstrong, of Vigo.

The Marshall Illinoisan again honors the Express by objecting to its view of the Mdrrison tariff bill. The Express still maintains that 20 per cent, reduction on raw materials would be injurious to the producers of the west, and agrees in the statement that the western laborers could not command the same wages. The western laborers do not want a reduction of wages. But the Morrison bill promises better wages to the eastern operatives by the reduction in the price of raw materials, says its friend. If the proposed bill does reduce wages in the west, and and does not reduce them in the east, does not the Morrison bill favor the east more than the west?

A special to the Indianapolis Journal from Washington quotes Congressman Browne as saying that he expected opposition to the bill appropriating $100,000 for a public building at Richmond, because "it is not a place for holding United States courts, nor is it headquarters for .revenue collectors, as are most cities where government buildings are constructed." This is very true, but General Browne made a mistake when he "cited Terre Haute as having secured an appropriation of $150,000 for a public building which will be used only as a postoffice, the same as Richmond and Terre Haute, he riaid, had but a trifle more population than Richmond, while the latter is a much more important place for manufacturing and has much more money invested in that interest." The revenue district which has its headquarters in Terre Haute is the largest in the state in the point of collections. According to the census of 1880 Terre Haute had more than double the population of Richmond, and we dispute the claim that the latter iB a more important place for manufacturing. We have no objection to a public building being secured for Richmond, but Terre Haute must not be decried to that end

SUNDAY WIGHT MUSIC.

The large audience that assembled last Sunday night at the Opera House inthensmeof charity, was quite representative of the best people both in and out of the churches. Noticing the evident interest and enjoyment in the musical entertainment the query suggests itself why can there not be more and for audiences not made up of the best people or of those only who can pay fifty cents? Why cannot more Sunday nights be vised for benevolence or to touch and teach a multitude conspicuous by its absence from the orthodox Sunday gatherings?

It was a happy and prophetic glimpse of the power of music that gave us the story of Orpheus, whose pweet lyre drew after him birds and beasts, rocks and trees, charmed the stormy waves and opened the gates of hell. His music gave comfort to the lost spirits and drew Eurydice from death, his notes Btopped the wheel that eternally rolled for Ixion, the leaking gieves with which the Danaides forever dipped water, the rushing stream |hat mocked Tantalus' raging thirst 'find gave rest to Sisyphus from hopeless labor. It was rest to the weary, the despairing and the hopeless—it |was forgetfulnesB of sorrow and pain, even though brief.

In the east end of Iondon area milion people practically shut out from education and recreation and crime is rife. A few years ago the Surrey thea tre was a center of disorder there and krrests made nightly varied from one forty. In 1880 it was converted into the Victoria coffee hall, devoted to Concerts, variety entertainments, lectures and the magic lantern. It is jpen every night, p.nd though not always full, is usually so on the two aights devoted principally to ballad nusic. There are no more arrests, nor

drunkenness arising from that theaire. 8ai(l one of its visitors of a certain bal lad: "That's 'er wot made our Jim cry when she sang t'other night," in a tone that implied that .Tim was not an impressible subject, usually.

This kind of work has been dupple mented by musical classes, especially for working boys and girls, which are eagerly patronized and with very apparent refining and moral influences. There are very few who are not stirred by music of some kind, and there is one style of music that moves most all —the song that tells a story with simple expression with little or no dramatic pretense, is always popular, and we have seen here that the ballad singers are the favorites. There is both room and purpose for occasional musical performances—call them sacred

halls. They ought to be very accessible and with intelligent designs. They might be for popular charities of which two at least have strong claims upon the public support. They are the Hospital and the Friendly Inn—quite different in extent and pretension, but equally deserving in proportion to their necessities. To maintain the administration of the hospital for the benefit of all, without regard to creed, it will be wise for all, without regard to.creed, to encourage it. To Eecure an expression of popular interest, at least once a year, is why the Express gests that an annual festival of music, consecrated by the closing hours of some Sabbath day .should unite the musical ability of our city for the benefit of some branch of hospital work. Other methods of displaying interest will be mentioned at another time. The Friendly Inn is the undertaking of the very judicious society for organization of charities, and is so much smaller in its beginning as to be little known or cared for outside of a small circle, and yet it has pressing need of contributions.

The society is called judicious advisedly. Poverty and pauperism have not entered into the calculations of prosperous America very much as yet, but they will come with its wealth and age. We have not so much to learn to give as to learn how to give—how to provide for our own without offering a bounty to mendicancy—how to give assistance and not almB. From music to poverty may seem a digression though it is not a wide one for it is urged that it would be a cause of good if all the music of the city could be given occasionally in the name of charity and religion to all who would care to hear it—sometimes as a Sunday service and some times as a charitable benefit. It is doubtful if any of our preachers could draw so well on the Opera house stage as the singer who could sing "I know My Redeemer Liyeth," or make a greater impression. Doubtless even that little mob which nowadays heots in the gallery would reveal a decided taste for honest music. Cultivation may best appreciate fine musical work but to those whose lives are cast in deep and narrow grooves music after all will be the greatest boon.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Justice.

To the Editor of the Express. SIR: Wnile the flood sufferers are under discussion, would it not be well to look just a little into the suffering that prevails among the poor of our own city. It is well enough to send relief, but it beoomes a mockery when one looks at the amouut of misery of every description that stares us in the face at home. In one small room of an old house on Third street llveB a family of nine. One has just recovered from the measles, four lie very stck with the same disease, and last Monday the fifth (the baby) died, and there in that one room with the sick lay the dead child until Wednesday. The writer hearing of the awful condition in which they were placed, found that there was not only nothing in the house to eat, but not even a rag with whloh to prepare the little form forth grave. A lady widely known forhermany charities, furnished what was necessary, and a little later was instrumental In furnishing them with groceries.

It is more than likely that with fresh air, proper nourishment and warm clothing the child might have been saved, and it is doubtful whether there was wherewith in the house to appease even the hunger of death. In the name of God and humanity, while we think of the distant sufferers, stop and bestow a little charity on those around us. It is true that there are always plenty of frauds, but It is not difficult to find out the deserving ones, and while a few draw from the poor fund, perhaps, who do not need it, we must know, beyond a doubt, there are more who suffer in silenee, preferlng hunger to being put to shame by begging. The ques tion is often asked, why not apply to the societies whose business it is to attend to such matters? Some of them will promptly relieve you, others will give you the idea that you are appealing to their own particular pocket book—ask you If you cannot wash—they know some of your people who are well off, etc. Finally after making your misery something that needs a great amount of grave thought, they will tell you that they will see about your case.

Perhaps in a few days a stogy pair of shoes two or three slses too large are sent UD,and

you are made to feel that that

particular society has its thumb on its nose while it winks one eye at you in farewell. Charity, grudgingly bestowed, ceases to be charity. .Labor and religion are well enough, but bread and meat are often positive necessities first.

The world often expresses surprise at the large number of reckless women. Trae, some leave the paths of virtue through choice, others through want of sympathy and the lack of kindly hands to help them over the stumbling blocks that meet the poorer class at every turn. A pleasant word as we go along costs thing and goes a great way toward ...engthening good resolutions. They area "i to oompare favorably or unfavorably the justice of heaven with theJUBtloe of earth.

Lesson for February #4—Subject: The Thessalonians and Bereans Acts XVII., 1-14.

When Paul and Silas left Philippi they went to Thessalonica, a wealthy and populous city where there were many Jews, owing, no doubt, to the commercial advantages of the place Paul had a relative, Jason, living there and with him the apostles made their home. Paul went into the synagogue of the Jews and taught, them. It was tucoiogy" to them which he preached, and they treated him very much as do the orthodox christians now, those who would teach what now is known by that name. They were rougher in their treatment because that was an age of less refinement and humanity than this, but there was probably no more objection to hearing Paul than is now urged against some of the most "advanced of the theologians.

The Jews had been taught to look for the coming of a Messiahjthey believed, that Messiah would be to Judea what Alexander the Great was to Macedonia and Julius Caesar was to Romey-a great king that would give them political emancipation and social reformation. They believe that Jerusflem would be the city of this great king and all the world's capital, and from this kingdom all the rest of the world Bhould be cast out. But Paul came teaching anew doctrine, and giving to the Scriptures a very different interpretation. He did not go to new books. He read the same old Scriptures, but with a meaning BO different that it revolutionised their theology. He declared that the Messiah had come, and had been crucified as a malefactor he declared that the temple was to be destroyed, the temple worship abolished, and that even Jerusalem, their sacred city, and prospective capital of the world, should be overthrown. And he proved this to them from their own Scriptures, which they had read without meaning. They had accepted the old teaching without seeking for the truth themselves.

Such teaching was more than the Jews at Thessalonica would accept. They not only refused to listen, but determined to kill or drive away from their city the men who destroyed their hope of worldly greatness for their race. They organized a mob, and sought out Paul and Silas to kill them, but Jason had hid them. The mob then dragged Jason before the rulers, who threatened to punish him if he did not get rid of his unwelcome guests. The time had not yet come for the Thessalonians to receive the new light, and the apostles resumed their journey, and came to the Bereans. Here was the first Sabbath school, it might be said, for here it was the people first carefully studied the Scriptures. When Paul preached to them they did not believe, but they were honeat enough to give him the benefit of the doubt, and prove him right or wrong. They searched the Scriptures and studied the word of God. They found that Paul's teaching was correct, and he soon built up a prosperous mission, where Jews and Gentiles were united in love, all working together to one purpose—to advance the cause of Christ!

From this there may be drawn several lessons. Lyman Abbott says: "Theology is progressive. Traditionalism is not the test of truth. Christian rabbis, as well as Jewish rabbis, msy make a mistake. The reading of the Bible, which has prevailed even for ten centuries, does not exclude us from a profounder or better reading. It cannot, indeed, be all wrong the Jews were not mistaken in looking for a Messiah. But it may be shallow and superficial the Jews were mistaken in the kind of Messiah they were looking for. We cannot be mistaken in believing that Jesus Christ has come into the world to save sinners, but we may be mistaken in the limitations which we have put upon His salvation and the definitions which we have afforded of it."

Mr. Abbott further says there is nothing inconsistent with rectitude and manliness in preaching in the church a doctrine directly and radically inconsistent with its traditional beliefs. Christ and Paul both did this. The traditions are not conclusive as to the truth the creed is not a limit to the progress of thought it iB not a declaration of things that must be believed it is an historic statement of things that in point of fact have been or are believed. There is nothing disloyal in attempting to change this belief, if he does it as Paul did, by going to the Scriptures, the source of the belief, and make his arguments on statements there found. When a new theology is brought to us we are not to presume against it, shut our ears to it, and exclude it from our pulpits, and neither are we to presume in favor of it and receive it without examination as to its worth simply because it is new. Age is neither a merit nor a demerit. When a new view of the Bible is brought out, a new interpretation of Scripture, we rise to search the Scriptures to see whether it is true or not.

The best test of all theology is the Scripture, but the Scripture searched afreash with a ready and willing heart, not with prejudice in favor of or against what has been hitherto accepted.

LENT.

The object of the fast of Lent has always been disputed,but it is generally regarded as a preparation for Easter, and a time specially set apart for repentance over the sins of the past year. The number of forty days devoted to it is thought to have reference to the Savior'e forty days fast in the wilderness, forty days of the deluge, the forty years wandering of the Jews, the forty days granted the Ninevites for repentence, or the time spent in fact ing by Moses and Elias. St. Serome speaka of the fast as a memorial of the Saviour's passion. It is agreed that it was instituted by the Apostles, though the Protestant churches commonly held that it was not established till the second or third century. At first there was great diversity in the time and manner of its obseryance. Its duration was Boon fixed by the church at thirty-six days, to which four were subsequently added. The first day of Lent is called Ash Wednesday, from a custom which still prevails in the Ro man Catholic chuich of sprinkling the forehead with ashes. In the United States the Catholic church allows the use of fish or meat several times a week, at the discretion of the bishops. The Protestant denominations which recognize the season of Lent leave the manner of observance to individual judgment.

The following is the Lenta! programme at St. Stephen's: February 27—Ash Wednesday—Services at 10:30 a. m. and 7:80 p. m.

BEECHER'S LIFE IN INDIANAPOIilS.

Henry Ward Beecher by No Means Popular With AH Classes When Living In Indianapolis—An Aggressive Man Who

Blade Enemies, Now Wiped Oat by Forty Tears' Changes.

Indianapolis News. A city contemporary speaks of the "warm place held in the hearts of all classes," by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher when he was pastor of the Second Presbyterian church here. If that contemporary had been contemporary with Mr. Beecher's residence.- here, it would not have thought the admiration and regard for Beecher unquestionably felt by a large class, was "broad and easing" enough to include "all classes." There were three classes to whom he was especially obnoxious: Strong sectarians of differing creeds, pro-slavery men, and anti-tempe-rance men. When he was here forty years ago or more, sectarian feeling was strong to a degree not easily conceived by those who have not seen or shared it. Sermons were largely devoted to the exposition of differerences of creeds. These were sermons that "went to the root of the matter," as the old Puritans said of the diatribes against prelacy. It was as often the object of Rev. Methodist A to demonstrate the soundness of his views as compared with those of Rev. Baptist or Rev. Presbyterian as to demonstrate the powers of faith and righteous life to assure eternal happiness. And conversely the Baptist and the Presbyterian were as aealous in expounding the divine sanction of their views and the deficiency of those who differed. The later sects, the Univerealists and Christians, having to make their way through old "walls of partition," lines of battle that had been formed and held since the days of Luther or Knox or Wesley, were especially aggressive in assailing the assumed unsanctioned tenets of other sects. Public debates on creeds were

Eates

robably not as frequent as stump deon the tariff of '42 or Tyler's vetoes, or the distributing of the proceeds of the public lands, but they were so common that challenges from one champion to another in the respective publications of their denominations were not more startling than Hanlan's challenge to a rowing match or Schaefer's to a billiard match. The condi tion of sectarian feeling seems hardly possable now, when the Presbyterian "schools" have reunited, when clergymen interchange pulpits, when a Protestant minister like Rev. Myron Reed speaks cordially of the labors arid character of Catholic priest like the venerable Father Bessonies. Liberalism marks the condition, and still more strongly the tendency of religious Bentiment now. In the days of Mr. Beecher's residence liberalism was heresy. A Gallic was as bad as an Alexander, the coppersmith. Mr. Beech er was liberal, more so even than most of his contemporaries, and some disliked him for that, and more for his adhesion to another faith than their own.

The pro-slavery element was strong in Indianapolis auring the last four or five years ot Mr. Beecher's pastorate here. Abolitionism was not merely unpopular, it was odious. A Mr. DePuy published an abolition paper to year or two in that time, and his office door was smeared with filth, and the sign carried off and set over a privy, by men who believed that slavery was a divine institution, and the bond of the national union. When Mr. Beecher in one of his sermons spoke out unreservedly against the "sum of all villainies," more than one of his Democratic parishioners got up and lett the house, and never went back. The Sentinel of that day denounced him for "dragging politics into the pulpit." Andthere were old whigs that were little better pleased.

The anti-temperance feeling was very different forty years ago from what it is now. Temperance is the fashion now, as well as the conviction of the thinkers who lead and mould general sentiment. Differences affect

recesses and methods, not purposes, was not so then. There was no distinctive saloon class then as now, which spoke for and really contained the whole body of anti-temperance opinion, as ours does. But the old condition of the pioneer days, when I everybody drank a little and a good

PULPIT.

The Rev. E. S. McMichael, of Springfield, Ills., will occupy the pul-

faced. It was not hostile so much as it was indifferent and sluggish. Consequently, though "grocery" keeping— we bad no "saloons" and only an occasional "coffee house"—was not respectable, it was not reprehensible. It is now. Mr. Beecher held it so forty years ago, and not only so, but held the distiller and wholesale dealer in equal condemnation. That grated jon a good deal of respectable but unenlightened feeling. Thus it came that Mr. Comegys, a distiller of Lawrenceburg, got into a controversy with him, and it grew so accrimonious on the distiller's part .that he intimated personal reprisus, to which Mr. Beecher replied that in such a contest he "would nave a quaker and a woman aa his seconds."

WHY CATHOLICS COMMIT CRIME.

Mgr. Capel Thinks There Would be No Q(twiioi in Prison bat (or the Public Schools. Boston Globe.

Mgr. Capel delivered the seventh of his evening lectures at the Church of the Sacred Heart, East Cambridge, last evening. The audience was limited only by the size of the edifice.

The mind and the intellect were discussed in their bearings on Christianity and explained in the fullest sense, after which the speaker taught of the sacraments. "The Protestants haven't converted any nation. There has been abundance of money, if money could have converted." It was then shown that the Catholics alone, and unaided, had converted where the Protestants could not. 7".'

At the close of the" lecture Mgr. Capel referred as follows to an anonymous letter he had received: An anonymous letter has been sent to me since I have been here—one of several —wherein I am to answer why 90 per cent, of the persons in prison in this country are Catholics. A man that does not possess the moral courage to sign his name to a letter is not worthy of notice. The evil intention of the question is manifest in the way in which it is put. The charge is put unfairly. To begin with, it is the pride of tlie Catholic church that it is the church of the poor. We have to deal with all those that come from poor countries. They land here from a center where they were surrounded by friends, where they were respected. That very public opinion there was strength to them. Now, I think you will say there are many in josition who will waylay the poor emigrant and strive to turn his thoughts far, far away from that which is the truth, and his comfort and for his very best. He hears of wealth and fame yet, if he be a true Catholic, he will have the strength to go on. There comes a time when his children are born in this land. They bear the proud name of Catholics, as their father did. These little children, we are told, will get ample education they will be thoroughly instructed the knowledge will be ample for your child. They are impressed with the idea that this will produce truth. The only thing that will keep us right is the teaching of God to our children, that they may be made strong. Here you deprive them of that which it is wrong to take from them—that faith that should be taught them at school—and when they go wrong you throw the stain at us. Let us haVe our Catholic children let us educate them. Let us have them, and I will answer at once that the 90 per cent, in your work houses and prisons will be 90 per cent, less of Catholics. To that person who sent that letter I would say, you have directed your question to the wrorigone. Address it to those who rob the poor little child. The church has proved what she can do. She has made men who were vicious become Christians. She has made men sacrifice themselves to God Almighty, and what she has done in other countries she can do in the United States. Let her have the choice of the education of her young. Let the state demand as much education as she will that is good, and let it carry it to any extent Ihat it deemB reasonable, but pray let us educate our children. They will prove themselves the best citizens which walk on land.

NARROW ESCAPE si

Of a Well Known Citizen of South Easton from a Horrible Deaths Boston Herald.

A journalist whose meanderii»gu search of news led him into the thriving village of South Easton, yesterday, found the recent escape of Mr. Caleb S. Lothrop of that place from death in one of its most horrible and repulsive forms to be a topic of general comment. In reply to all inquiries for details, the reporter was invariably told: "Go and see his son William, up here at the shoe factory. He'll post you up.

Mr. William B. Lothrop, the gentleman alluded to, was found by the reporter in the factory of Messrs. Copeland & Hartwell, where, with rolled up sleeves, he was working manfully at his familiar bench. He greeted his visitor cordially, and expressed his willingness to furnish all the information in his power respecting his father's case. "Some ten years ago," said he, "a slight swelling manifested itself on the right side of my father's under lip. It started like a blood blister, and kept increasing in size. Its progress was slow untu within three years, when it grew more rapidly and finally spread out upon his cheek and upon his lip both: outside and inside, extendinf downward to the gums. It cracked open and split out like a seed wart, Several physicians were consulted, but they could afford no relief, and said that there was no hope of curing him —that tiie terrible cancer would spread until his face would be literally eaten off. You can imagine how such a horrible decision as this would effect a man's peace of mind. My father who is now 67 years old, was a hard-work-ing and industrious man, but about a year ago, so greatly had the prospect of death from a loathsome disease affected him, his mind began to fail, and we had to keep a almost constant watch upon him. He had become a burden to himself. The cancer emitted a most revolting stench, which permeated the entire house. "Well, this was about the condition of affairs when, about four months ago, I read in the Boston Herald an advertisement of Swift's Specific (8. S. S.,) manufactured by the Swift Specific Co., of Atlanta, €ta. I saw that it was highly recommended for bloed diseases, and I sent for two bottles. Father tried one, and was not apparently much helped but the second had a marked effect, as the cancer immediately began to heal, and a healthier look appeared about the edges. We persisted in the treatment with Swift's Specific (S. S. S.,) and now, after using in all eight large bottles and four •mall ones, all that remains of the cancer is a small "root" not so large as a pea, which is itself steadily disappearing. Naturally, my father is greatly cheered by his improved condition. His general health is very &ood, and his mental troubles have Men greatly alleviated. There is no doubt whatever that Swiffs Specific (S. S. S.) is entitled to every particle of the credit for saving my tether from a death most horrible to think of. I have spoken highly of its virtues to all my neighbors, and I am glad to be of any use I can in spreading the good news."

The reporter stopped for a moment's conversation in the business office of the factory before leaving the building. Both members of the firm ezprened

ifcSr

themselves as cognisant of the main circumstances of the case as above narrated. "There is no hnmbug about it," said they. "Whatever Mr. Lothrop told you, you can rely upon." IV 1

A large proportion ot the diseases whnu. cause human suffering result Iran derangement of the stomach, bowels, and liver. ATXB'S

CATHABTIO PILLS act directly upon

these organs, and are especlally designed to cure the diseases caused by their derangement, including Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of whloh they area safe, sue, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prao* tiee, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profession.

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

A Sufferer from Headache writes: "AYEB'S PILLS are Invaluable tome, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sufferer from Headaohe, and your PILLS are the only thing I eould 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 physio I have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to speak in their pr&ise, ana 1 always do so when occasion offers.

The of experience in the treatment Cancer with Swift's Specific (3. S. S.) would seem to warrant us In saying thai it will cure this much dreaded scourge. Persons so afflicted are Invited to correspond with us.

I believe Swift's Specific has saved my life. I bad 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 had suffered for &> years. S. S. S. has relieved me of all soreness, and the poison is being forced out of my system. I will soon well.

Two months ago my attention was called to the case of a woman afflicted with a cancer on her shoulder at least 5 inches in circumference, angry, painful, and giving the patient no rest day or night for 8 months. I obtained a supply of Swift's Specific for her. She has taken 5 bottles, and the ulcer is entirely healed up, only a very small scab remslning, end her health is better than ford years past seems to be perfectly cured.
