WHY YOU OUGHT TO JOIN.

The Spirit of the 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.

indicating that this is a campaign year it may be mentioned that the big dailies devote about a page each day to political news.

The Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, at Greencastle does not believe in the proposition that the members of the Grand Army give money for a soldiers monument. The Post has passed the following resolution:

Resolved, That it Is the sense of Greencastle Post, No. 11, G. A. R., that It Is not Just to those who fought the battles of the late war to ask them, or G. A. Posts as a body, to contribute money for the erection of a monument to themselves but that the expenses of such monument should be borne by the state at large through its legislature.

With teeth set Randall says: "This tariff question haBbeen rankling in the Democratic party long enough and I think that it is now about time to eliminate it entirely as a political issue, or else setling it within the party one way or the other." Watterson glowering with rage at the prospect of Randall defeating the Morriteon bill says: "We will settle this once for all and if we are defeated it means the disruption of the Democratic party."'

The following is from the Rockville Republican and is the echo of the report from every county in this congressional district:

If doubts had existed in the minds of any as to Pake county giving an old-time Republican majority In 1884, the character, tone, temper and large attendance at the mass convention held in Rockville, on Saturday last, must have dispelled such doubts. At no time has a greater degree of harmony existed within our ranks nnd at the opening of no former campaign has more earnestness and enthusiasm been manifest than at the present.

The Missouri democracy is for free trad# and professes a belief that protection aids monopolies and creates favored classes. But the Missouri democracy has by law driven out of the state all foreign corporations that lend money, that the home bankers and money-lenders may collect from the borrowing classes the maximum interest, ten per cent, which is four per cent above the ruling rate at which insurance companies and other foreign agencies make loans to the farmer and owners of real estate. If the levying of an import tax upon foreign products that our own people may build up industries is "favoring monopolies," the Missouri ide.t is protection with a vengeance.

Some of the Southern leaders and several influential newspapers in the South are advocating the appointment of presidential electors by the legislatures of their respective states. The pretext upon which this is recommended is that bulldozing of voters may be used as a basis for contesting the returns of states in which it occurs in the count of the electoral votes for president. The constitution provides that "each state shall appoint, in

such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors," etc. The right of a state to so select Sectors cannot be denied. But the attempt to do so will work its own evil and thwart the purpose in view. We can appreciate the desperate straits into which the Democratic party has fallen, but this .would be a confession of such utter recklessness and of inability to carry the election hy means of a popular vote that the Republican ticket would elsewhere gain enough votes to make certain its election.

The senate yesterday managed to cast a unanimous vote, a strange occurrence that is possible only upon one proposition, i. e., the prerogatives of that branch of the government. It is not often that the proposition is up for the consideration of the senate, but when it is presented it brings into the chamber an air of solemnity that is never present at any other time. The senate passed a resolution appropriating an additional $10,000 for the expenses of the senate Danville investigating committee. The house amended it by providing that the money was not to be expended for the prosecution of any investigation not already begun. This attempt at supervision over the proceedings of the "Upper House" met with the unanimous vote that the resolution be returned to the numerous arid unruly body which meets in the other end of the capitol, and whose members are elected for only two years. The object of the Democratic house was, no doubt, to limit an investigation which had so far been disastrous to the party. But senatorial dignity has greater influence upon a senator, even though he be a southern Democrat, than the fear of exposure of the bulldozing practices in the south. Consequently there was a unanimous vote that the resolution be returned to the house with the em phatic demand that the stipulation be withdrawn. It is to be hoped that the feeling may not become so titter that senators and members will refuse to speak as they pass by.

The recent discovery that the history of the war of the rebellion was not taught in the public schools of Indianapolis has created interest in the sub ject in all parts of the count v. I. yil fathers who served in the army it teaming the histories that are in use, and the prospects are that the subject, which has not received sufficient attention, will be taken up to the end that a complete history of the war be taught the youth of the present generation and generations to come. The New York Tribune publishes a statement by Col. George Loren, of Wisconsin, which shows that the histories now in use are not what they should be. Col^ Loren says: *.y

I have a son and daughter seventeen and nineteen years of age. They have studied American history in the common school course. In talking to them the other day I found them lamentably ignorant of the causes that led up to the civil war. I got hold of their text books and studied them over myself. It was right there that the trouble lay. In making text books for the whole country publishers have eliminated everything that might offend the southern people. Consequently they have eliminated much that was history, pure and simple. I found in one book four pages devoted to Lee and one page to Grant. In the readers used in our sehools there is an absence of quotations from the great speeches of the war period, and from war literature, at which I was surprised. Books vary much in this as in other respects, but I am giving you my general impression of several books examined. This is all wrong. The young generation, in the absence of instruction, will come to think after a time that the south has been abused. Indeed, that sentiment Is already growing. I saw its growth noted in a Tribune interview by a prominent statesman only the other day. Our ycung people should be taught the principles for which the war of the Union was fought. It is part of their inheritance to defend thOBe principles, but the first step is to let them know the truth.

There has been perjury in the Boynton Keifer investigation. Keifer brings before the committee several witnesses who testified that Boynton had told them about his attempt to get Keifer to participate in a scheme to pass the McGarrahan bill. One of these witnesses, Elder, was quickly shown to be a fair specimen of the Washington hireling, ready to do any kind of dirty work. Then Keifer denied ever giving him a strong recommendation to the attorney general. Yesterday the letter was produced and for the second time the ex-speaker has been completely contradicted by his own handwriting. The fact was forced from the ex-speaker that he had paid money to this man Elder since he was summoned as a witness. The exspeaker also testified that he did not pay Boynton a friendly visit after the time when he charges Boynton with attempting to currupt him. Several reputable citisens flatly contradict him in this. As the case now stands, Keifer's cause is supported by what is clearly shown to be the worst kind of evidence, while Boynton is supported by such men as Senator Hawley, General RoBecrans, Edgar M. Johnson, of Cincinnati, Congressman Hitt, and others of like reputation, who cheerfully give testimony in the correspondent's behalf, and proof positive is furnished in contradiction of every statement made against his character. It was a sorry day for the ex-speaker when he allowed his chagrin at being exposed in the nephew matter to so far control his better judgment that he made what, to say the least, were very rash statements.

Boynton's quarrel with the ex-speak-er began when the latter usurped the press gallery of the house on the last night of the session of ]8S2-'3 and afterward blamed some one else for the act. General Boynton ia chairman of the press committee, and since then he has lost no opportunity to "get even." If he has a fault it is vindictiveness, but no one among all the public men who have felt the effect of his comments, or in fact no one who knows him in any connection, ever before impugned his

any one else, broke, np the District ring he it was who first put Bristow on the track of the whisky ring thieves, and in fact the history of every exposure ol corruption in federal affairs during the last fifteen years will tell of Boynton's effective work for the government. But among all the rascals who would stoop to anything for retaliation none ever was reckless enough to attempt to show Boynton to be a corrupt man. They were at least too shrewd to undertake what they knew was a losing game.

It is good for journalism that this investigation is being conducted. It is the most common occurrence for a public man to endeavorto ward ofl the comments of a newspaper, or the injury of an interview which was intended to be beneficial, by putting the blame on the writer. Mr. Keifer's experience will serve as a good warning.

A Kentucky Breakfast-

Courier-Journal.

Dick Wintersmith always pretended to be familiar with the tastes and habits of the people of the Bluegrass region. Speaking of the menu of the morning repast of the Lexingtonians, he has been heard to say that a Lexington breakfast consisted of three whisky cocktails and a chew of tobacco. It would be difficult to find language sufficiently strong in which to denounce this vile slander.

A COSTLY JOB.

It Will Cost Twenty Million Dollars to Place All of Cincinnati Above HigliWater Mark.

Cincinnati special. The city engineer reported to-day to the board of public works and a special committee of the chamber of commerce his estimate of the cost nf filling up above high-water mark that portion of the "bottoms" directly in front of the city and occupied by the wholesale and other important business interests. TheJ report stated that to raise Main street to a height of twelve feet, including the buildings, would cost half a million dollars. There are twenty such streets as Main, without going out of the business district, making an expense for raising them all of $10,000,000, and the cost of raising the cross streets would be as much more, or an aggregate of $20 000,000. The^report stated that the filling up of the "bot torn" was the only practicable plan of preventing its being inundated by future floods. The gentlemen present were evidently taken somewhat aback by the enormous cost of the proposed fill." They ordered the report printed for general distribution among the members of the chamber ot commerce. It is not likely there will be much more heard of it until another great flood occurs.

The State University.

Indianapolis Journal. The board of trustees of the State university will proceed at once to erect the new college buildings at Bloomington. One of these has been planned with special reference to the accommodation of the chemical and philosophical departments, and the other to the natural history department They will be erected on the twenty acres of high, rolling woodland in the grove known as Dunn's woods, immediately east of town. This ground is covered by a magnificent natural forest of beeches, maples and oaks, and will make one of the handsomest college grounds in the West The destruction of one of the old buildings, last summer, together with the museum, library and apparatus belonging to the institution, was extremely discouraging to all its friends. But the action which the generous bounty of the people of Monroe county has enabled the board to take removes all cause for discouragement. The buildings to be erected are so far in advance of what the institution has ever had, and are so well adapted to the uses of a university, and will be given such a beautiful site, that last summer's calamity may be hailed as the beginning of an era of larger growth and usefulness than this venerable Institution has ever known.

Pauperism in Europe and America. Mr. Fred H. Wines, who had charge of the statistics of crime and pauperism -of the census, has furnished to the Philadelphia Press some interesting sratistics regarding pauperism in Europe and America. Although he

states that we have not been able to thoroughly cope -with the evil of pauperism, and that undoubtedly the number of paupers is rapidly increasing, owing to the concentration of wealth and the growing density of population, in comparison with England our condition appears cheerful. The annual burden of pauperism in Great Britain, with its 35,000,000 of inhabitants, is over $50,000,000 while the burdeu in the United States, with its 50,000,000 of population, is less than a quarter of thai sum. Compared with the continent, England's condition seems equally unenviable. The total number of paupers in France, Prussia, Austria, Italy, Spain and Portugal, Belgium and Holland, and Scandinavia, is 2,351,000, against 1,017,000 in the United Kingdom, showing 30.6 paupers to the thousand in England, and only 12.5 paupers to the thousand in the continental countries named. Different execuses for England' will probably be adduced, but the fact remains that the great free trade country is most prolific in pauperism of all civilized countries.

CONKLING MAI).

He Tackles a Witness Whom He Can't Bulldoze. New York Special.

In the examination of witnesses in the suit to set aside the lease of the Central Railroad of New Jersey to the Philadelphia & Beading railroad, Mr. Henry S. Little, president, and the last receiver of the Jersey Central, was questioned by Mr. Koscoe Conkling in regard to the terms of the lease to the Beading. Mr. Conkling tried to find out from the witness whether he purposely concealed the fact that a lease was contemplated when the examination to dissolve the receivership was going on. This led to a tilt between Mr. Conkling and Mr. Little, in which the former grew very much excited, and shouted in a tone that would have wrecked a telephone that "This man as a witness, as a lawyer, which he is, as receiver, and as president of the railroad, is guilty of gross insolence in willfully evading my question and orating in the middle of his testimony."

Mr. Little's cool demeanor during this explosion on Mr. Conkling's part only served to make the latter more furious than ever, and he declared he would have a direct answer if it took "until sunrise to-morrow." The question was put again, and Mr. Little replied in the negative.

Mr. Little was asked if he had not read his testimony given in the Master's examination several times. said he had, twice. "Do you consider two times several times?

I leave that for you to determine." "Do you consider two times several times? "I refuse to answer the question because it is insolent. I fall back on my rights as a witness." "Why is it insolent?" asked Mr. Conkling. "Because it is intended to be offensive."

No other complaints are so insidious Intheif attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with the majority of sufferers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unoonsoioos exposure, is often bnt the beginning of a fatal sickness. AYEB'S CHBKKT PBCZOBAI. has well proven its efficacy in a forty years* fight with throat and lung diseases, and should be taken in all cases without delay.

A Terrible Cough Cured. In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I had a terrible cougluand passed night a3ter night without sleep. The aoetors gave me up. I tried AYKS'S CHBBBT PECTORAL, which relieved my lungs, induoed sleep, and afforded me the rew necessary for tlie recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the PECTOKAL a permanent oure was effected. I am now ffi! years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your CHEKRY PECTOKAL saved me.
