Its sire in the west.

Mr. W. 0. De Pauw has felt called upon to defend New Albany from the charge frequently made that that city was asking and receiving more of the relief fund than it was really entitled to. It seems that some of the membora of the relief committee that went out with supplies from Indianapolis reported on their return home that New Albany was "a hog."

A few days ago the Courier taunted the Gazette with having "scooped" it by publishing an account of the tragedy at Clay City. It is the Gazette's turn now. The Courier was "scooped" on the railroad accident near Paris. And while our eveningcontemporarieB are calling attention to "scoops" why not devote a certain amount of space each day to giving a list of the "scoops" the Express has on both of them? Both of our contemporaries are very fair sort of papers and we have frequently taken pleasure in complimenting them and in showing them how to furnish the news to the public. The Gazette has been rather an apt scholar. It has followed the teachings of the Expiess in many improvements, such as the arrangement of its telegraph matter, the republiehing of bright paragraphs from other newspapers, the column of short miscellany headed with a bit of poetry, the use of display heads, etc., etc., all of which hsve greatly improved its appearance and added to its value to the reader. There is still room for other changes which, no doubt, will in course of time,be made. As for the Courier, we have hopes, hopeless as the outlook may appear. There are a number of radical changes that must be made, such, for instance, as will come with the knowledge of the meaning of words. It is unpleasant, we know, to call attention to blunders like this: "The education of a child should not be impaired in order that the child may read the fascinating stories of our fictitious authors," but it is the best way to teach the lesson. Of course, with a running jump one may reach the idea intended to bo conveyed in such a sentence, but in discussing the subject of education one onght not to be expected to strain himself in performing a very difficult feat.

The little difficulty in a committee room between Cobb and Belford, members of congress, must aflord gratification to the admirers of plain, simple, terse Saxon. The remark of the Hon. Mr. Cobb that Mr. Belford was indulging in "too much jaw" was in osseous harmony with the subjeci in hand, which was the "Backbone" bill, and the threat to reduce the said jaw is another instance of the breezy freshness peculiar to the inspired west —breeey to the extent of a big blow. Belford intimates that his own retort was vigorous and insinuates that Cobb spells Rhode Island, "r-o-d-e, etc." This only increases our admiration for Cobb, in his possession of astylethatis both phonetic and scriptural. He has broken away from the schools of his giandmother's days, when "spelling and manners" were taught, but still does not decorate his language with the useless scollops of euphuism. To him a jaw is a jaw, and he longs to smite it when a Belford opens it. The polished, or polishing, youth who shine at our best hotels and in the highest circles of our Academy of Music, use the expression, "Bust yer jaw," and eminent educators in our scholastic halls say "Shut your mouth" to voluble pupils, but Cobb takes the lead in the use of pure American. Now this Belford is more highly educated thsn Cobb. He hath himself confessed to it and he does not like his simple, unaffected way. With a significant gesture, Mr. Belford expresses a desire to hear from our Indiana man. The significant gesture probably was towards Mr. Belford's boot leg or the rear pocket of his trousers. Mr. B. cannot conceal his superior culture. We are reminded of the palmy days when'th© south ruled Washington—of the cartoons Punch used to illustrate congressional manners. One, was a scene at a hotel table, when a gentleman remarked: "Madam, will yon be kind enough to Je&n forward while I shoot that wan at will ta^e $h§ natter into court.

your left." Really, times are not so different, if our deir neighbor from the Second district is to be pistolled into manners and modesty.

THE DARK HORSE.

A Review of General Gresham'g Position Before the Country.

Something About the Man's Sterling Qualities—How He Has Been Guided ii His Public Life—A Strong Eulogy of an Indiana Favorite SOD.

Washington Special to the Commercial Gazette. In tho presidential gossip of the capital, General Gresham is now always mentioned among available men. It is conceded by everybody that Indiana has two excellent men for the head of the Republican ticket. What is said of General Gresham among those who know him best may be briefly summed up.

Postmaster General Gresham,though he refuses to be spoken of as a presidential candidate, and is unreservedly in favor of Mr. Arthur, holds a foremost place among Republican "dark horses." His position in politics is a peculiar one, and yet a very natural result of his strong character and consistent career. Few men have ever become so conspicuous in national politics in so short a time, or have achieved so wide and honorable a reputation, with apparently so little effort. This result is not accidental, but is rather the natural culmination of a career whose ruling motives have always been unbending integrity, high deyo tion to principle, and a fearless discharge of duty under all circumstances. These were traits which made General Gresham conspicious as a soldier during the war, and which, without any self-seeking on his part, have brought him prominently to the front in national politics. As a soldier he attracted the attention and won the personal regard of General Grant, and time h: strengthened and cemented the friendship then begun, After the war rPesdent Grant offered him the collectorship of the port of New Orleans, and subsequently appointed him United States district judge of Indiana, the appointment in both cases.being unsolicited by General Gresham.

As a judge he gave evidence of very high qualities, and took a leading rank among the members of the federal judiciary. There, as elsewhere, his inflexible honesty, his love of justice, and his fearless discharge of duty were conspicuously shown. These qualities, added to a judicial mind, caused him to be regarded by the bar and the public as a model judge.

He was widely known and universally respected in Indiana and adjoining states, before he was appointed postmaster general, and his selection for that position was generally conceded to be the best that President Arthur made. It was thought by some that his judicial experience might measurably disqualify him for an important executive position like that of the head of the postoffice department. This apprehension was not shared by those who knew him, and events have proven that there was no ground for it. From the day of his.arrival in Washington General Gresham has been felt as a positive power in the administration, and as the real executive head of the department over which he presides. No postmaster general ever mastered the business of the department more thoroughly in the same time, or has administered its affairs with more vigor. General Gresham brought to the position the same honest business methods and fearlessness in the discharge of duty that had characterized his previous career, and the result has bean a general improvement of the service in efficiency and tone.

He has evinced executive ability of a very high order. His position brings him into contact with a great many people, both official and unofficial, and it is noticeable here that|he never fails to make a favorable impression. No man ever made more friends in the same length of time than he has done since he came to Washington, or ever rew more rapidly in public esteem, 'erhaps one secret of this is that he worked for duty, and not for self. General Gresham is noted in Washington for his unassuming manners, his pleasant address, and the utterabsence of ostentation in his personal intercourse and business methods, He has the simplicity of a man who despises show and is too honest to aim at spectacular eflects. It is no disparagement of other members of the cabinet to say that he is the strongest man in it, and he unquestionably is one of the most popular men here. It is not surprising that such a man should be freely talked about as a "dark horse" for the presidency, al though there is not the slightest reason to believe that he is doing any work whatever to secure the nomination. He is for President Arthur, and will continue to be as long as that gentleman remains in the field. This, however, does not estop General Gresham's friends from saying that he would give strength to the ticket, either for first or second place.

An Interesting Canvass,

New York Tribune. A correspondent in Pennsylvania has been at considerable pains to collect opinions regarding Republican Presidential candidates from the chairmen of county committees and other leading citizens in every county of the five great states of New York, Pennsylvania, Onio, Indiana and Illinois. The results of this inquiry are summed up in another column. The showing presents some curious features. The long lead that Mr. Blaine has will not surprise anyone, unless it be those overinformed newspapers which are constantly insisting that Mr. Blaine has no strength with the people, in the face of a thousand proofs to the contrary. The fact is that the persistence of the popular demand, in various parts of the country, tbat Mr. Blaine shall be a candidate in spite of the understanding that he does not desire the nomination, is a proof of popularity which is larely seen. This sentiment is not manufactured. It shows itself spontaneously, in the newspaper, in nominating conventions, at primary elections, and it all proceeds upon the assumption that Mr. Blaine is sincere in his present attitude. These men seem to find nothing incredible in the idea that a man who has been frank enough to let it be seen that he would consider the presidency a high honor mav now prefer not to be a candidate.

Next to the fact that Mr. Blaine is the choice of forty per cent, of these

1 BE TERRB HAUTE SXPflfiSK SATUKDAY MORNIiVJ. MARCH 1. 834

sire, however, sis far as can be from the informal expressions that have been made, to see him reelected. All the efforts to bring this about seem to come from the "machine" politicians.

The remarkable preference shown for Robert Lincoln for vice president is another point of interest Nearly 60 per cent, of the responses made suggest his name. This is a curious result, because whatever presidential gossip there has been about Mr. Lincoln has always connected his name with the first place on the ticket. But if there is strength merely in a name, Mr. Lincoln's would help the Republican tick tin the second place as much as in the jret.

We attach importance to such indications cf pnblic sentiment mainly because they enable the Republecan party to understand itself. So long as these inquiries are directed only to that end, and not to the promotion of jealousies among tactions or to efforts to break down candidates, they do good. The object of every delegate to Chicago onght to be to select that candidate whp can most surely poll the largest vote in the most states, in November. To that end nothing is so important as accurate knowledge of the strength or weakness now of the various prominently mentioned Republicans in the various critical localities. Good-tempered discussion of the good or bad points in the records of candidates, and honest expositions of popular sentiment concerning them, if frankly had this spring, may avert disaster in the autumn.

AN APPEAL.

A Call for Contributions to the Insane Hospital.

INDIANA HOSPITAL FOB THE INSANE, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., In this circular I appeal to you in the interest cf the poor unfortunate people who aro inmates of this hospital. They are deprived of reason and resources, and are forced to depend upon others for happiness, amusement and instruction. The state provides all the essentials for their support, yet there are many things beneficial to such persons which are not furnished by the commonwealth. Occupation and amusement are the most powerful factors in alleviating the misery of the insane person, and in drawing him away from hitrself. We are endeavoring to furnish both with the means at our disposal, and it is believed, with your assistance, much better results can be obtained. We need pictures, books, periodicals, illustrated newspapers, children's story books, etc. If you cannot donate such articles, an equivalent in money will be gladly received, and grateful acknowledgment made. These donations, properly applied, will be productive of many happy moments to those who are "in the- depths," suffering all the acute agony of dispair and misery. Even if only a few minutes' pleasure is afforded them by having their surroundings improved, that is much to those who spend days and nights brooding over their condition. Remember that in doing this you are helping those who sadly need help, aud in giving for this purpose you are lending to the giver of alf^good, and in the last day when you to join the "great silent majority" payment will be returned to you ten-fold. You can send all such articles as you feel able to donate by express at our expense.

Very respectfully, AGNES FLETCHER,

Matron of the Hospital for the Insane.

The North Pole.

NewYoiJsSun. To the Editor of the Sun: SIR—Will you please inform me what is the object in finding the north pole, and how it will benefit mankind?

CHAS. B. KENSEY.

It is a misapprehension to suppose that the chief purpose of Arctic exploration is to reach the north pole. The north pole has figured in the schemes of scientific explorers only as a desirable incident in the carrying out of their work. Geographers talk of the north pole quest pure and simple as an unscientific and a puerile idea. What explorers jeally expected to do is to advance as far :s practicable into the unknown region, to study its geography and make important scientific observations. Capt. Nares, nine years ago, had to halt 400 miles this side of the pole. But his expedition was called a brilliant success, because he entered the great frozen sea north of this continent, explored the coast line for a distance of thirty-five degrees of longitude, and brought home a great mass of interesting scientific data.

The leading geographers assert that Arctic exploration is of immense value to the world, both in its scientific and in its commercial aspects. They say that winds, tides, terrestrial magnetism, ineteorolog}, and other important phenomena cannot be thoroughly investigated except under many different conditions of temperature and locality. Among many triumphs of Arctic research they mention the fixing of the position of the true magnetic pole by Ross, the finding of a simple means of keeping the needle pointing to the true north in high latitudes, the discovery of the commeicial mineral cryolite, and of the great whaling and sealing grounds in the Spitzbergen and North Greenland seas. Taey assert also that, in spite of the frightful disasters that have befallen some exploring parties, the loss of life has been small. About three per cent, of the Arctic explorers have died in the course of their work—not a large proportion when compared with the mortality among African explorers.

Gambling Laws in Kentucky. An act has been introduced in the Kentucky legislature providing that persons who keep rooms, halls, houses, or other places.for purposes of betting on or playing games ol chance of whatever name, shall be, on conviction, subject to imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than one year and not more than three years. Hitherto the attempt to minimize the gambling evil in Kentucky has been rendered useless through a bad gubernatorial habit of remitting gamblers' fines at wholesale. The business is in a very flourishing condition, apparently, in Kentucky so flourishing, perhaps, that the proposed felonizing of gamblers or keepers of gaming dens will doubtless be antagonized bv a lobby of the most formidable dimensions and

Six months ago I was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores.
