Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducement*.

There are nine railroad* leading into the city, making freight rates oheaper than for any city Of Its eiae in the west. .-?*

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 np and iraprovment of onr 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. ____________

In this country we do a great deal of speculating as to the selection of men for cabinet places, foreign missions and the important trusts which are at the disposal of the president. The (ierman press doeq not fully understand how those things are done in this country else we would not receive by cable the statements made by newspapers in Germany that Minister Sargent is to be transferred to Russia after'the election oi anew president. Onr German friends may not admire Sargent, and probably do not because lie exploded the flimsy pretext upon which action was taken prohibiting the importation of the American hog product, but they merely expose their malice as well as ignorance in such premature statements as the one referred to.

The Ohio legislature has made provision for the return of the body ot MacGahan, the war correspondent, from the Catholic cemetery at Scutari, where it was interred in June, 1878, aftei his death in that city of spotted iever, contracted in the hospitals of the Russian army of Bulgaria. The remains will be consigned to the family vault in the cemetery of Perry county, Ohio. Gen. Sko beleff was at the bedside of the dying journalist,-and shed bitter tears at his untimely taking off.- The Grand Duke

Nicholas, when he heard of his demise, said: "Too bad. He would have been governor of Bulgaria." The anniversary of his death, June 9, is commemorated in every hamlet of Bulgaria, in recognition of his services in calling the attention of the world to the atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in their country, and masses are yearly effered up for the tepose of his soul in every Bulgarian Catholic chapel.

The steady accession to the membership of the Board of Trade is another evidence of the excellent spirit existing in business circles and of the confidence felt by all in the flattering prospects for Terre Haute. There is no at soon there will be enrolled 300 memfeSnj. The Express calls the attention of Abusiness men in the neighboring to^Hs who sell coal, lumber, grain and produce to Terre Haute dealers, to the advantages of their being members of the Terre Haute Board of Trade. The Board of Trade rooms are centrally located and Sifiwill be supplied with telephone and

Idesks with stationary for the use of Members markets will be reported daily. Dealers from other points will find the rooms a convenience for transacting business and meeting our city operators farther, the secretary will always be an accessible correspondent "to give information on any matter rebating to business interests.

Terre Haute with all it beauties and jmany advantages is not yet completed Jt^which is a great comfort to many who -'want to take a hand in its completion. "'"-Sits business interests, which show '""steady improvement, might in some ".Respects be stimulated. It does not monopolize as much of the country trade as it ought. In fact our country friends find it difiicult to reach us dur-

1-^ing

what is sometimes a long

jhe one is a sort of wholesale movement, and the other quite retail, but really for that reason affecting more individuals. The Express believes that an influence could be developed in Terre Haute which might inaugurate a general system of good country roads centering in this city which would be

of very great benefit, in it.

Th» re asbeen some useless and unfoundeu criticism upon a late movement1J attract to this city manufacturers who might find their present location upon the Ohio river no longer desirab nor profitable. The character of sue'i a movement will be shown by the manner iu which it is carried out. A winitte.e, visiting tim Ohio towns to ascertain if tiu-ie are m--ii ho desire remove, is doing nothing un-i.-r under'-au'ttd nor if it men on the wiug, as it ii irieen to show them the best plactr in ilie country for future operadons. Business is not charity, but Terre Haute has shown that businessmen can be charitable on occasion. There is no lack of charity in inviting unfortunate manufacturers to certain prosperity. If a business man finds it to his interest to change his location he is not apt to consider that his present residence has any moral claims upon him. It is reasonable to believe that there will be a considerable exodus from many of the flooded towns, and no one will blame those who, after repeated losses, can now better themselves. To those who find themselves thus compelled by adverse fortune,to seek new fields, the beautiful Prairie city, with the cheapest coal in the world, is commended in a spirit of charity and enterprise.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Temperance Question.

To the Editor of the Express. SIR.—The short and pithy article In your issue of the 6th Inst., by L. S. Byers, Is a good answer to Dr. Mitchell's last article on the temperance question. May I be permitted to offer some additional reasons why the temperance question Is making no positive progress in the way of correcting the evils it seeks to repress in consequence of the liquor traffic. Taking the risk of being severely criticized, I am going to say why I think such good men as Dr. Mitchell, and thousands of others, fail to accomplish anything in the way of placing their plans, and ideas, on this question into the law that will be genererally accepted and sustained by the people. The advocates of prohibition have always appeased to the writer as reversing the natural order of things in building-their house from the roof downwards, instead of commencing at the foundation and building up, the superconstruction on which any permanent reform in this matter can be made: that will prove of any value, must begin at the bottom in the o/Ranization of law, and order leagues that will create a sentiment that will enforce the law we have before cumbering the statutes with pro hibitory laws which it would be a farce to enact in Indiana, until the people themselves asking for such laws are prepared to sustain them, and stand by the officers they elect to enforce them. Now I make the assertion that theitemperance cause, so closely allied as It Is with Christianity, has largely railed of Its work and mission because of the want of support in the house of Its friends. Whenever the church and its members can so far forget their creeds, and minor differences, and come together as one body in support of practical reforms In this direction then may we hope to see something of value accomplished, and not until then. As society is now constituted, Catholics will not unite with Protestants, and Protestants will not agree among themselves, All preferring, It appears, to go to the devil with their creeds, and differences, rather than unite in an organization that would make their votes and influence felt in purifying the political life of the state and nation.

No wonder the disjointed efforts of the churches amount to nothing when so many of its members pray loud and long for the success of the, temperance cause, and are seen to lay down their religion on election days, and vole in many instances for the lowest class of ward bummers for public officers. Take our own fair city of Terre Haute as an Instance: Here we have one of the best men ever elected In our city fllliog the mayoi's office, and standing out before the country as the representative of law and order In Terre Haut but who is utterly powerful to name or control a single policeman or fireman. The keeper of a

abso ute.y hol'dlng the

balance of power In our city counci

11, and

the"slokening spectacle presented to the world of a great party taking from the "saloons', the chiefs of police and fire departments. Should not this awaken our so-called temperance people to the necessity of doing a preliminary work at heme, by securing, If possible, In the next legislature, the amendment of our present charter, so that when we elect a dec nt man for mayor he shall be clothed with the authority to make his Influence felt In our government, and be held responsible for the enforcement of the law.

Another mistake our temperance friends make is their eternal war on saloon keepers and liquor dealers. Just so long as the depraved appetites of men demand liquor, there will be other men engaged in the manufacture and sale of it. As a class saloon keepers and liquor dealers themselves are temperate citizens, and do not make a practice of rushing out and dragging enstomers into their places of business: and while it is desirable to get rid of the saloon, which is not a good thing in any sense, would it not be well to so frame our laws that drunkenness should be treated as a crime and made so expensive and the punishment so severe that it would deter men from getting drunk anddestroylng themselves, which they have no moral or legal right to do. Suppose, as suggested above, our church people and temperance friends try the plan of organizing themselves Into law and order leagues, and directing their votes and Influences toward securing better men for office, and a better enforcement of the laws we have, preparatory to further progress In these directions. Iudlana is not ready for prohibition, and the very people who are now wearing their lives out to enforce this impracticable measure, would very probably act towards it as many such have done in Kansas, Iowa, and elsewhere where such laws have been passed—"Let them take care of themselves." In a political sense, the Republican party In Indiana is In

reater danger from its temperance than from Its opponents. Some strong Republican counties In Kansas and Iowa have been turned over to the Democracy^ in consequence of their action. I have conversed with

Republicans in Kansas, who ecline voting to place men of their party faith in office, and have them prepare themselves In taking the oath of office to enforce a law whloh public sentiment behind them will not sustain. A high license law similar to the new law lust going Into operation in Illinois, fixing the license at five hundred dollars would be a practicable measure, and would very probably enlist the support of members in our next legislature in both parties. This would reduce the number of saloons one half, and with the funds divided from the license equally divided between the school and poor funds some good would be extracted from the traffic. VIGO.

TERRE HAUTE,March 7, 1S84.

The Temperance Question In the Next Campaign. To the Editor of the Express.

SIR: Permit me to say a word In answer to L. 8. Byers, of Staunton, Indiana, In the Express of March 6th. I agree with Mr. Byers when he says: "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 untrammeied suffrage rights." As a Republican, I fully endorse the principles of the Republican party. I believe the temperance question, including prohltlon, should not, and can not be a party question without injury to the cause of temperance. Temperance Republicans do not ask the Republican pai t.v to endorse prohibition, or total abstenance. But whilst they believe this should not be done, yet there are great fundamental principles growing out of these questions, for forseen upon the people by the liquor leagues of the nation, which lay at tbe very foundation of free governmsnt, which the Republican party of this state dare not Ignore. The Democratic party may ignore them and espouse the cause of the liquor league for the purpose of gaining a few votes for the time being, and for the money the league will furnish them to run their campaigns with, but the time will soon come whenthe thinking freemen or thatparty wili forsake it and leave the liquor dealers to fight these battles on the merits of their business. The temperance Republicans of the state are calm and determined In their demands, without assuming lhe atltude of holding a dub over the heads of tbe stale convention, believing that there Is wisdom and virtue enough in the party to fully comprehend the principles involved, and that they were forced upou us by the golons of the state for which neither the temperance people nor the Darty are responsible.

There was not much "trailing in the dust in Indiana, Iowa, Kansas andOhio.,' The submission question in this state saved the party from a defeat of 20,000r the facts show that where the amendment issue was most fully discussed our party gained. Iowa gave 80,000 majority for constitutional prohibition, and the legislature has resubmitted by a large majority. Kansas elected a legislature overwhelmingly for prohibition. Ohio, without any pledge or endorsement from the Republican party, gave 321,000 for the amendment, and would have carriedCby a large majorilaa bee: ly if "a fair count" ha en made.

Republican party of this state la too wise to ignore the petition of fifty thousand legal voters of three years ago, and 45,OUO of a year ago, and the action of the State Prohibition council, composed of temperance people of all parties, for the la«t two years. The only hopes of the temperance people la in the Republican arty and tney are anxiously awaiting .heir policy In relation to these great questions. Should the party ignore or givo an uncertain sound, there will be such an uprising of the people as was never before seen in the state. The Democratic party will, as before, espouse the cause of tbe saloons, as It did in the last campaign. The saloons will join hands with the party, where they naturally and of right belong.

The principles outlined In my article of the 4th are principles that will never die. They are the voice of a large number of leading Republicans of the state, and not my own. Let me briefly state them again: -The liquor league of America is apalltical organization based wholly on capital, and designed to work exclusively in tne Interest of a class, utterly regaidless of all other interest, is dangerous to the commonwealth and that Its arrogance and dictation In demanding legislation for its sole Interest regardless of the lives and morals and material Interests of the people, should receive our most unqualified condemnation and reposing Implicit confidence in the virtue and intellfgence of the people, we are in favor of the agreement to and the submission of an ameidment to tbe constitution to a direct vote of the people at a special alectlon, prohibiting the traffic In intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, and that pending the passage and submission of such an amendment we are in favor of such legislation consistent with the present constitution, as shall protect as far as can be done, against tippling houses." .(nth such principles engrafted Into the Republican platform you harmonize the entire temperance element and moral power of the whole state. With a divided Democracy on the tariff and other questions, and its allance with the corrupt and selfish power of the liquor league, the Republican party will achieve a great victory.

An Independent Prohibition party would be ruinous to the cause of constitutional prohibition, the very cause the prohibitionists are aiming to promote, and would be the means of defeating the very party to which thev had looked, so far, for the the passage of the amendments to the electors. Should our next legislature call a constitutional convention, as men of influence are proposing, the questions on the passage and separate submission of constitutional prohibition will come up as an issue—they wont down.

Dangerous Poetry.

For the Express. S A great deal is being written afid said against Dime Novels and trashy illustrated papers, but there is another class of literature (if such it may be called) equally as dangerous, especially so to girls, in the form of poetry. By this I mean poetry which is dangerous, morally, which teaches false and unhealthy sentiments poetry which sounds very -$pretty and attractive in rhyme, but which, ii carried out in real life, would cause untold misery.

Romantic girls (nnd nearly all girls are romantic), with hearts overflowing with love, are all too ready to lavish their affections on any man whom they admire, whether he is worthy or unworthy, and without asking what his past life may have been, and there are always plenty of poems full of sickly sentiment to encourage them in their folly. For instance, Tom Moore writes: "Oh what was love made for if 'tis not the same Through Joy and through torment, through glory and shame? I know not, I ask not, if guilt's on thy heart. But I know that I love thee, whatever thou art.

$ $

Through the furnace unshrinking tby steps I'll pursue, And shield thee, and save thee, or perish there too."

And some other writer, I have forgotten whom, says while addressing her "Lost Love": "Where your sails you have been unfurling,

What breeze has blown on your brow, I know not, I ask not my darling So that you come to me now. Sorrowful, sinful and lonely,

Poor and despised though you be, These shall be nothing If only You turn from the tempter to me. Of men though you be unforglven,

Though priest be unable to shrive, I'll pray till I weary all Heaven If only you'll come back alive."

Such sentiments as these have a very demoralizing influence upon the mind of a love-sick romantic girl, especially if she is in love with a person whom she knows to be unworthy. She takes such poems for her texts and excuses, and goes on headlong in her willful blindness, and the more opposition she meets with the more it strengthens her attachment. She thinks her lover is persecuted and is "more sin ned against than sinning." She knows he is not just as good as he ought to be, but she loves him, and there are many others who are no better. Besides she will reform him, and if she fails in that she is willing to take the risk anyway. She thinks it is 'All for love and the world well lost," arid that Bhe will "shield him and save him or perish there too."

All this sounds nice in poetry and seems like perfect love and perfect trust, self-sacrificing and enduring, but when it comes to the reality it is not half so nice. No love can endure which is not founded upon respect. No happiness can come from such marriages in a little while the novelty weai 8 off and then the wife pays the penalty of her unreasonable attachment and it is her own fault. She can blame no one but herself unless it be the authors of such poetry as I have quoted. She did not prudently consider her choice but acted upon the dictates of sickly sentiment. This is why I say poems of that class are dan geroufl.

This is what the true poet teaches: "He teaches love to suffer and be pure, That virtue conquers if it but endure, That noblest gifts should serve the noblest ends, That he is richest who the most befriends That through life's Journey, dark or bright the day, Fate's not unkind, whatever men may if goodness walks companion of their way." ...

"Paul at Corinth," the Subject of the SHiday-School Lesson To-day.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOI*

Lesson (or To-Day—SubJ ect: Pool at Cor-inth-Acts XVIII, 1-17. Corinth was the commercial metropolis of Greece, but it was not the center of morality in the country, as it was of commercial prosperity. As in most cities, the morality declined as the city enlarged. The people forgot everything in their seeking after wealth and pleasure. In idolatrous Anthens Paul had found the people with a religious spirit, appealing to their undertakings. And while they knew nothing of the God he worshiped, their altar to the unknown god gave him a common plane on which to meet them and begin his missionary labors. But when he reached Corinth, the great metropolis of the country, he had not even this devout religious spirit to help him. The only temple was dedicated to Venus, and its attendants were courtesans. The wprship was of Bacchus and simply a wild revel. The city waB given over to selfish pursuits and sensual pleasures. There was no place to begin a spiritual teaching except by direct antagonism. There could be no common ground here. It must be a war between the flesh and the spirit, for the people were wholly given up to the pursuit of wealth and pleasure, and

Paul's one aim in life was to teach concerning the spirit. Upon entering this wealthy but wicked city, Paul inquired for a suitable place of abode, and heard of Aguilla, a Jew, who with his family had been expelled from Rome, and had come to Corinth to carry on his trade as a tentmaker. Now Paul had learned his trade of tent-making, and he went to Aquilla to seek employment. He waB minister of the gospel, but he waable and willing to pay his own wav by the labor of his hands and he did. He was independent. He asked no favors. He was thus able to say that he ministered to his own necessities, and they might hear his preaching or not, as they chose. There was no pay demanded for it. It was free and without price. It would be a blessing were the preachers of God's word as free and independent to-day. But with large salaries from a wealthy constituency they feel in a measure bound to minister to the desires of their people rather than to their needs. They must have some consideration for their hearers, aud, in fact, their preaching is gauged by the religious spirit of the members of the church. If the leading members are straight-faced and well-grounded in the most uncompromising orthodoxy, the preacher is liable to be the same, and find little in the Scriptures to give comfort to unconverted sinners. But if, on the other hand, the moneyed members of the church are inclined to look at these matters in abroad way, believing the forgiving power is always equal to that which offends, the preacher is not stimulated to preach sermons condemning people to eternal and everlasting punishment for trifles. They are not generally like Paul, waging a war between the spirit and the flesh.

Paul, it seems, began his work quietly among the Jews in the place. Through the week he worked in the shop of Aquilla, and on Sunday went to the Synagogue to quietly argue with his ewish brethren, and set forth the great truth that Jesus was the Savior. He was soon joined by his fellow missionaries, Silas and Timothy. The Jews opposed their preaching, and began to blaspheme as they did in Jerusalem when Stephen preached to them. His indignation is around at their blesphemous rejection of the gospel and of their Messiah, and with a conscience freed from further obligation to them, he left them with the blood of their souls on their own hands, declaring himself free and clean from them. Shaking his gsrment as if he would shake them free from himself, he turned away from them. Nor did de evermore, in Corinth, preach to the Jews as a body.

In order that his break with the Jews might be thorough and flnal, he even left the house of Aquilla, who seems not as yet to have been converted, and took up his abode with one Justus, whose house was near, insight of the synagogue. He became a member of the gentile family, and from thence began his work among the people of the city ^ldiscriminately.

No sooner had he broken with the Jews than the spirit of God seemed to arouse them, and there was a division among them. To the unspeakable joy of the apostle, Orispus the chief ruler of the synagogue, broke with his countrymen and co-religionists, and went over to the Lord and Paul's side with all his house. This must have cheered him greatly. Following the conversion of Crispus, and the preaching of the gospel to the people of the city, the spirit was poured out, and a large company were won to the Lord and were baptized.

The trial of Paul before Gallio was in many respects similar to that of Christ before Pilate, but Gallio was a strong and just man, whereas Pilate was weak and cowardly. Gallia saw through the perfidy of the Jews, dismissed the case, and set Paul at Liberty. ,,

Cherry Pectoral

No other complaints are so insidious In theil attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of suffer, ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sloVneffs. Ansa's Chekry Pkctokal 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 Cored. in 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I had a terrible eough^and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried Aykb'S Chbbky Ph tobal, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the PECTORAL a permanent cure was effected. I am now 62 years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied you* CHERRY PECTORAL saved me.

Croup.—A Mother's Tribute. While in the country last winter my little boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup it seemed as if he would die from strangulation. One of the family suggested the use of AYaa's CHERRY PECTORAL, a bottle of which was always kept in the house. This was tried in small and frequent doses, and to our delight in less than half an hour the little patient was breathing easily. The doctor said that the CHERRY PECTORAL had saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at our gratitude? Sincerelyyours,
