Harper's Weekly veiy concisely states the true import of the Lasker affair affair ns follows: "The return of the Lasker resolution under any pretense whatever is a great impertinence. It is not, however, an incident to disturb diplomatic relations, although it may exasperate feeling, and any attempt to exaggerate its significance is as foolish as Bismarck's folly."

The fact that the High Echool, Normal school and Training school were abandoned for nearly two days, because there was no heat in the building, is, to say the least, a reflection upon those in authority. While it may be true that there is a scarcity of coal, still plenty could have been obtained to keep the Normal building heated. The fact that the coal dealer who has the contract for supplying the fuel was out of coal, can not be set up as a sufficient excuse.

The woman suffrage movement keeps up about the same amount of life year in and year out. The leaders in the cause are heard from occasionally during the year and regularly every winter, when they assemble in Washington at the annual meeting. The sixteenth annual meeting is now being held in that city and it will be followed by the appeals to the committees of congress to submit the constitutional amendment. The friends of the cause assert that great headway is being made and perhaps there is but to the busy wprld in general the most that is known about the movement is the semi-occasional announcement of an address on "Disabilities," "Woman Her Sphere," etc., etc.

The Gazette being mildly called to account for refusing to accept the proof offered by the Express that it had published a lottery advertisement, indulged in characteiistic equivocation yesterday. The Gazette carefully avoidB denying /that the "reading notice"—a term carefully chosen—was an advertisement that it was4 in the interest of a lottery' company. The "reading notice" was among the advertisements, the type in the heading being tbe sam8 as used for advertisements. Then the Gazette adds that it "printed lottery advertisements for years and still does for church fairs (though it sees no difference in tbe effects).," How like a guilty Vonscience? "We didn't publish any lottery advertisement, but the one we did publish was no worse than for a church fair." "I

General Tom Browne, of this state, who opposed the Mexican pension bill thought that every surviving Union soldier in the war of the rebellion was as much entitled to a pension as the veterans of the Mexican war.

WHY YOU OUGHT TO JOIN.

The Spirit of tho Board of Trade.

The Board of Trade is an organization to promote harmony and good will in our business relations and transactions with one another, and to secure concert of action in all matters having for their object the building up and improvment of our city in its manufacturing, industrial, and other commercial relations. It is also interested in whatever will improve the social and educational interests of the city, and whatever will beautify and develop the advantages of Terre Haute as a city to live in or transact business in.

The two most noticeable booms at present are for the favorites of former years, Tilden and Blaine.

The Democrats are falling aSunder on the tariff faster than they ever accomplished a blunder. In fact they are beating the record. Randall has organized a bolt from the Morrison bill and Henry Watterson says the success of the bolt means the final disruption of the Democratic party.

sions. His questions have not as yet been answered, nor will theybe. Her® area few of them:

Why do you forget these other men, the Union soldier? You say it is thirty-seven years since tbe war of Mexico closed. It has been twenty years since the close of the war of the- rebellion, and certainly the men who carried the flag of the nation to victory daring the weary years of the war of the rebellion are as much entitled to pension as the men whose names were on the muster roll of the Mexican war for sixty days. Of the men who served in the Mexican war nearly 50,000 of them were from slave-holding ||states. Why do you put them on the Mexican war pension bill and strike out a clause whlch^denles pensions to those engaged In rebellion? Why do you do it? Because, of those 48,000, more than 20,000 afterwards went into rebellion, and by this bill will be entitled to draw pension out of the treasury of the United States. It is because you can not get your rebel soldier on any other pension roll. That is the reason of It, and you know it, and I know it.'

Harpers Weekly, which has been a persistent and consistent advocate of Postal Telegraph, last week stated the caw in a most forcible manner as follows:

Tho postal telegraph Bills liavVbeen presented and eminent ndvocates have been heard in committee on all sides. Tbe constl! utionality of a government use or erection of telegraph seems not to be seriously contested. The reasons for It which were urged last summer at the time of (lie strike are as strong and pertinent as iver. The objection that telegraphing is not a proper business for the government is pointless when it is conceded that expressing and letter-carrying are its proper business. Indeed, the true doctrine upon this subject is not theoretical, but practical. The question of any particular proposition of government aid is one of expediency, like that of the Ohio relief the other day. With our race and its traditions this will always be so, and the limited and proper functions of government are questions of political casuistry which practical states* manship will disregard. Jefferson, the father of this speculative school, bought Louisiana without law or constitution' because he wisely thought it to be expe dlent for tbe common welfare. In the same way the government carries merchandise and books and letters, for reasons of the highest expediency.

The public expediency must be incontestable, however, and that Is tbe ground upon which Mr. Edmunds rests his plea for a govement telegraph. "It seems to me for the best interests of the country that any appliance with which its welfare is so intimately connected as is the instantaneous transmission of intelligence should be subject to no censorship, to no corporate man's will, to no question of how it Is going to effect stocks,or the stand ing of corporations or of persons, but it should be free to all men as the poBtofflce is, and subject to no more espionage than the postoffice." He said, also, that, in connection with great social questions and the increasing aggregation of wealth under corporate control, the government should undertake the business lndepend ently, subject to no contracts or arrangements with other parties. As the present company or eompanies would not think of complaining if a new company should be organized, so they could not complain of the government rivalry. It would be the object of the government, of course, as in the postoffice, with due regard to Its purpose, to place the service upon a pay ing basis.

YOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Temperance Question

To the Editor of the Express. SIR: The Republican flag traillngin the dust in Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Ohio, is a complete answer to the article of Dr. J. D. Mitchell, in yesterday's Express. And there is not a Republican in this neighborhood but who has more Interest in the Republican party as it was than in the rather dubious and dotfbtful submission annex. Let the battle cry be, "Foster the Industries of this country by a high tariff duty. Let each cent duty on an article go to the workingman at home. Free and equal rights before the law for every man. Strong and effective protest against the murder of fellow-men for political reasons—free and untrammeled suffrage rights."

The Coal Mining Qaestion.

To the Editor of the Express. SIR—I noticed an article in the Express of yesterday's* Issue regarding the coal miners strike as being unjust, and that Brazil coal operators were paying twentyfive cents more on the ton for mining coal than any other coal companies shipping coal to Chicago. Well, in this he Is badly mistaken. The Grape Coal company pays 85c per ton for mining coal, and block coal companies pay ninetyeight cents (1 eay ninety-eight cents because two cents per ton is deducted miners for sharpening tools) which leaves tliem paying but thirteen cents less than block coal, and block coal Is but from two feet to four feet high, and where eightyfive cents is paid coal is from .seven to eight feet In height and a great deal more of it can be mined in a day than can be mined of block coal. Again he tays that operators have been payingSl per ton for the past two years. Why. last summer block coal was mined all over this district for 83c per ton, while in the other places behasjspokenof where foal is being mined for 25c less were paying from 75c to 80c for m'nlng. We think the person who wrote this piece was badly misinformed or he must have never seen mote than a coal house full of coal in his life, and we hope when he reads this that he will be convinced that the miners are on the side of Justice, the reverse of whtit he says in his notice

The Kan Who Does and the Kan Who Does Hot. Peoria Transcript.

A great deal might be said about pictorial advertisements, if the impossibility Of reproducing them did not stand in the way. As It is, we must content ourselves with showing bow an advertisement can be illustrated without the help of draughtsman or engineer by arranging ordinary printers' type thus:

An ingenious advertising agent presents the public with portraits of the man who does not and the man who does advertise, and says: "Try it and see how you will look yourself.

District Delegates.

Globe-Democrat.

Congressional district committees will apparently take it on themselves to decide whether district delegates to the Republican national convention shall be chosen by seperate conven tions, or by subdivisions of the state conventions. If district conventions are held, this is the rule that must govern them:

The Republicans of the various congressional districts shall have the option of selecting their delegates at separate popular delegate conventions, called on not less than twenty days' published notice, and held in the congressional districts at any time within the fifteen days next prior to the meeting of the slate conventions, or by subdivisions of the state contlons into district conventlens and such delegates shall oe chosen in the latter method if not elected previous to the meeting of the state convention.

This alternative may give rise to contests. But, contests or no contests, it is of course tbe privilege of the voters of each district to be truly represented at Chicago. They should see to it that their will is thwarted by no local committees—such committees being servants of the party, not their masters. f?

THE PHRASE "BETTER ELE-

A Definition that witb Many Persons Hay Serve a Good Purpose.

The term fbetter element," says the Boston Herald, has no relation to partisan politics or to any classification of men based upon wealth, education or social position. A voter belongs to the "better element,"" no matter with which party he acts or what may be his interest in good govornment and who discharges conscientiously all his duties as a citizen. A man belongs to the "worser element," again, without respect to his party affiliations, his property or his rank, who has a selfish or dishonest interest in his governmentor who seeks io mislead or de fraud the voters in the election.

Some of the wealthiest men are among tbe worst citizens. They either Bhirk their political duties altogeth er and thus prove themselves undeserving of their birthright of freedom and self sovereignty or they use their money and their talents to corrupt and mislead voters for selfish or parti san ends. Some of the poorest men— those who depend upon their daily toil for their daily bread and have a scant supply of even the necessaries of life—are among the best citizens, for they vote satisfactory on the side of honest and economic government for the best men, without regard to party, and often at a sacrifice of time which they can ill afford to make. They are sober, industrious, God-fearing, man respecting and law-abiding citizens— the true "bone and sinew" of the republic. Sanitary Condition of Poor Houses Indianapolis News. ,1^

The state board of health is collecting statistics from the various counties upon the conditions of the prisons and asylums for the poor. Some of the re ports sent to Dr. Elder, secretary, de scribe a frightful state of affairs. In a wealthy northern county the poor asy lum is in a building "inadequate to demands, illy ventilated, and not as good as cattle sheds. The superintendent is doing all in his power, but the county is not properly providing for the asylum." The physician in charge writes that the condition of the indigent poor is lamentable, and that he is disgusted with the state of affairs which he cannot remedy. Thereports from the other counties are enough to make Dr. Fletcher, of the insane hospital, weep with indignation. In one of the aesthetic western counties seventeen insane poor are confined to their cells in straight jackets. Another county reports among other things that the house beds are neither clear or free from vermin. The health board will, endeavor to have improved the sanitary condition of these institutions. A radical reform is needed in half of the counties if the reports give a true insight of the management and condition of affairs. -1

ll^Earl Abingdon as a Mimic. The Earl of Abingdon, who lias just dietl, was in his youth a wonderful mimic, and could personate Dr. Keate, the head master of Eton, in a marvelous manner. He did this on one occasion when at school, summoning the boys at a tutor's house to prayers, having first donned a master's gown, and in the dnsk of a summer evening his identity was not discovered. Once, in the house of commons, a member could not find some papers to which he wished to refer, and kept on fumbling among a mass of them. The house grew a little impatient, and suddenly a voice in Keate's tones—well known at that date to half the house—was heard to say, "Never mind, stay afterward," which was Keate's way of intimating to a delinquent that he would be flogged i'or ignorance or carelessness. Once, at Nuneham, Lord Nuneham was dressed upas a girl, and made desperate love to an elderly gentleman, who genuinely reciprocated, and wanted to follow up his suit with a view to matrimony. The thing was for some time kept going by letter, and the would-be suitor was terribly chagrinned when he learned the truth.

Isabella McWean, an elderly woman, who has been living in the village of Essex Centra for the last thirty years, died last week. It was rumored that the old lady was possessor of a large amount of money, and that she hoarded every cent that she obtained. She was always very reticent, and never associated with aBy of her neighbors. After her death it was decided to search her dwelling. Nothing unusual was found until the searchers entered her apartment, where, on pulling out the drawers o! a bureau, they found a number of purses filled with bills. Bills were found in her trunk pinned to the linings of her dresses, and also gold amounting to $668 in English sovereigns. Together witb the bills the amount found was $2,368. Tne searchers were about to leave the apartment when one of the party felt some hard lumps in the bed, and, ripping the tick open with a knife, pulled out bag after bag of silver. When all \®as extracted there was as much aB one could lift. When all the money was counted it was found that she was

New Orleans last summer. They would buy cards at the cigar stand every night, mark them, and use them in the game tbe next afternoon. They won several hundred dollars, but an old cotton broker finally caught on and quietly extracted a pack. The presence of a small dot in one corner convinced the visitors that they were the victims of a "put up job." In solemn procession, headed by the broker, they marched to the culprit's room. "And I vill not say youvasa scoun trel," said the old man, at the end of his harangue, spreading the cards out on the table "dot vash too goot for you, but I owe you dwenty-fife tollars schtill," shaking his hand at the level of his chin.
