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.

England is becoming very much interested in cremation, and the London Times advocates a trial of the experiment.

The Ohio legislature is considering a bill to give the people relief from the extortion of the telephone companies. The measure provides that the maximum rate shall be $3 a month, and where two or more telephones are rented by one individual, company or corporation, the rate shall not exceed $2.50 a month. The rate for conversa tion between cities is fixed at fifteen cents for the first five minutes and five cents for each additional five minutes.

The cable man in Paris is evidently acquainted with our Hendricks. The ex-governor arrived in Paris a few days ago, and said he "did not consider Italy healthful for Americans at this time of the year." This remark at first glance would not seem to be of very much consequence, but the agent in Paris of the Asiociated Press knew how rarely we are favored with an unqualified expression of opinion from our Thomas, on any subject whatever, and wisely concluded it was worth sending by cable.

The bill which has passed the New York legislature giving the mayor of New York city the autocratic power of selecting tho many minor officials of the city without depending on the "advice and consent" of the board of aldermen, will probably be signed by the governor. The iminence of this event has started much speculation in New York political circles because the law will take from John Kelly and other bosses all of their present opportunity for evil in the control of the affairs of the city. New York has elected a half dozen good men to be mayor of the city, but in every instance the efforts of these men in trying tcr secure reform in municipal affairs have been thwarted through the influence of the aldermen who are the puppets of John Kelly. Recognizing the fact that Kelly will not be easily removed from his place as Boss, the contingency of his election as mayor naturally suggested itself, and the prospect is being discussed by the newspapers. Kelly says he is not a candidate for the office, but of course this does not mean that he will not be a candidate if he concludes that he must elect himself mayor or lose his prestige entirely. The outlook'is not encouraging. A great city, whose government is in importance only second to the administration of national affairs, is confessedly unable to loosen the grip of a boss, except by giying the mayor an authority which far exceeds that of any official in a state or municipal government, and after this is done threatened with the election to that office of the man of all men, the one against whom the law is particularly aimed.

It was deemed necessary a week or BO ago to publish the amount contributed by several Democrats to the Democratic campaign fund of 1880 to relieve them of the charge of having at the most given a lukewarm support to General Hancock's candidacy. Among other contributors are named W. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, who gave $40,000 Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, who gave $20,000, and Oliver H. Payne, of Ohio, who gave $31,000. This may relieve these gentleman, and Mr. Tilden in particular,

ill

•feMi

of the charge of treachery, but where does it place the party which pretends to be the opponent of monopolies? It shows that men who are concerned solely in the welfare of gigantic corporations supply the sinews of war for the Democracy, and experience shows further that they do so a matter of business, their political interest being incidental to their business interests. W. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, is a millionaire whose money was acquired through the medium of the Standard Oil Company and through the wrecking of railroads in company with Tilden. The Paynes, well, no explanation is necessary since the action of the Ohio legislature in electing a senator. Mr. Tilden is put down for $51,500. Everyone knows where his affiliations are as between monopolies and the people. Mr. Barnum gave $30,000 or $40,000. He, perhaps, is more in line with the masses, being a mule dealer. But the publication tells the story which ought by this time be known by all. It says that the Democratic party is made a catspaw by a few designing men like, Tilden, Scott, the Paynes and Barnum, and if it is in fact the opponent of monopolies there is formed the strangest coincidence in the history of American politics.

The Democrats in Indiana will split wider than in any other state on the tariff issue. Although Mr. Carlisle received every Democratic vote in the state delegation except that of Congressman Lamb, of this district, still the returns recently gathered by the Cincinnati Enquirer showed that a small percentage over one-half the Democrats in the state favored the Voorhees' doctrine of a tariff with incidental protection. Indiana Democrats in Washington have been trying to organize an association, but at the initial

meeting

the inevitable quarrel over

the tariff marred the harmony of the occasion. It was proposed that the association should [distribute the speeches of Holman and Carlisle on the tariff, both delivered in the last congress. Voorhees' friends objected to the proposition. State Senator Faulkner, who is a particular friend of Senator Voorhees, remarked that last years almanacs would do as much good as would these speeches iu his section of the state. A Washington dispatch to the Enquirer tells the

YOICB OF THE PEOPLE.

The Temperance Question.

To the Editor of the Express. SIR: In the article by Vigo in the Ei' press of Sunday there is but little to answer but what was fully answered in my own of the same date. Had Vigo come out like a man and signed his true name I might say a word in answer. And right here, Mr. Editor, I suggest that In case you allow the discussion of this question to go on, you require every man or woman to sign their full names to their papers. It has not been my intention to prove that the liquor traffic for beverage pur poses is an evil in every possible relation and should be abolished. We take this for granted. Vigo and every candid man admits these facts. We are dealing with these questions as they are now upon us. Neither the Republican party nor the temperance people are responsible for its having become a political question. The liqur leagues of the state and nation, by their "arrogance and dictation in demanding legislation for their sole Interest regardless of th& lives and morals and material Interests of the people, based wholly on capital and designed to work exclusively in tbe Interest a class utterly regardless of all other interest, is dangerous to the common wealth,"—is dangerous to the public well fare—these have forced the question into politics. Who will dare affirm that "such arrogance and dictation should not re ceive the most unqualified condemnation by the people," and by all parties. Who will dare deny the right of the people to decide the question of constitutional prohibition at the ballot box? Who will dare affirm that they do not "impose Implicit confidence In the virtue ana intelligence of the people?"

When Vigo says he is in favor of the high license law of Illinois, and the granting or greater powers in our city charter. the purpose of "closing one half of the saloons." Very well, that is all right, as far as it goes. The only difference between us is, the temperance people want them all closed some time in the future. At least they demand of the legislature to give us tbe right to try it, by passing the amendments. We will run the risk of the results. If the people vote it down, all right, nothing has been lost. If they vote it up, we will run the risk of its rohiblting. If "prohibition don't pro

Ibit," as the liquor league say, then there is no harm done. Stringent high license or local option l&ws will not suit the liquor dealers. They demand that their buslness.be^plaoed on the same footing as other business. We want, during the the passage and submission of the amendments. the very best liquor law that can be had under our present constitution. We cannot possibly have a worse law than the present one. Free whisky would be but little worse. Now. if the Republicans at the state convention expect to pacify the liquor league by declaring in favor of high license alone, they will be very much disappointed. Neither will it suit tbe temperance people. We have no fears but that- the Republican party will boldy espouse the right of the people to decide prohibition for themselves, and against the£dangerous political power and demands of the liquor league.

story as follows: It was then proposed to only distribute the speech made by Mr. Carlisle, which proposition was carried. Mr. Steeley then came up with another resolution, in which it was proposed to distribute no doouments that antagonized the National Democratic platform of 1876 and 1880. The friends of Senator Voorhees assumed that this was a direct slap £at him, and Col Matson in a speech to that effect moved to lay the resolution on the table, State Senator Faulkner, also making a speech seconding the motion, in which he said that Representative Cobb, of the Vincennes District, who was present, was elected to his seat in the present Congress on the tariffplank which Senator Voorhees had himself, written and he (Faulkner) had carried to Indianapolis and given to Ex Governor Hendricks, and it was Incorpo' rated in the Democratic State platform of

Mr. Steeley then withdrew the resolu tion, whereupon Mr. Cobb arose excitedly, and said that he would renew it. He was going to see whether he was In a Re publican or a Democratic caucus, and wanted to know who was present who would dare to vote against the National Democratic platform. Judge Lowry then made a speech which rather conciliated Mr. Cobb, and the resolution was allowed to be withdrawn, and to save' further trouble a motion to adjourn was madi and carried.

Why We Object to Southern Outrages. Philadelphia Press. Southern newspapers are apt to assume that the northern objection to "outrages" is based on their partisan result in preventing Republican success at the polls but the real reason lies deeper In the simple fact that any government which rests on murder and fraud must be a weak gov ernment, unable to protect life and prop erty, to give security to capital, peace to the home or profit in the market place. Such a governmeat may last a year, a de cade, a generation but fall it will and must, for justice, mercy and righteous' ness are against it, God and man are op posed to it, and its ruin is certain.

THE TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS.

A Construction of the Law on the April Elections. INDIANAPOLIS,

Ind., March 1, 1882.

SIR: SO

many questions are asked

with reference to tbe coming April election, that I deem it necessary to answer them in this general way:

First—According to the provisions of section 106 (acts 1881, p. 646) of the general tax law, township assessors were to be elected at the general elec tion in 1882, and every four years thereafter. This act was approved March 29, 1881. Standing alone, this act would render it necessary to have elected assessors at the general No vember election of the present year. Such is the meaning of the term "gen eral election" as therein employed Tbe recent constitutional amendment provided that tbe legislature may fix any other time at which township elections shall be held. In accordance with the provision of this amendment, the legislature passed section 57 of the general election law, (acts 1881, p. 495), providing that on the first Monday of April, 1882, and every second year thereafter, there should be held an election for the purpose of electing justices of the peace, township trustees, assessors, constables and such other officers for the county as may be provided by law. This act was approved April 21,1881. Section 57 being the last act in time of passage, repeals so much of section 106 as is inconsistent with the provisions. Therefor, assessors must be elected at the April election, 1882. Section 57 does not say how long they must serve, but section 106 provides that they shall serve four years. Ttiis provision of the latter section is not repealed by section 57. At the best, it could only be claimed to be repealed by implication. Such a repeal is not favored, think it follows that assessors will hold their offices four years from the date of their election, and until their successors are elected and qualified. The person elected assessor will be entitled to file his bend and enter upon the duties of his office "at the expiration of ten days from the date of such election."

Second—The offices of justices of the peace are constitutional offices of four years and where such offices will become vacant before the April election, 1884, there must be persons elected to fill such vacancies, who will hold their offices four years and until their successors are elected and qualified.

Third—Township trustees must be elected at the coming April election for ev8ry township in the state, because the term of office of every one of such trustees will expire before the next general township election, 1884,

Fourth—A person is not eligible to such office more than four years in any period of six years. Sp., acts 1877, p.

J9.

To the Kditor of the Express. SIR: I see in your Sunday issue that somebody is complaining of Butcher Lutz slaughtering within the city limits also that it was reported to the city oonncil* some time ago, that my slaughter house was somewhat obnoxious. Now, to those complaining, and to my neighbors, 1 would say: Be easy, not to make any nnnecessray trouble, for we will keep our place clean. There shall be no offending smell about it, and besides, the place Is for sale, and is partly sold, and as soen as it is all gone we will abandon It.

Those who are now serving out their first term can be re-elected those who are serving out their second term cannot be re-elected.

Libel Suits.

New York World. Last summer "Mark Twain" did a serious piece of work. He permitted himself to be interviewed in the New York Times, whereby he was made to reflect nponjthe honesty of Capt. Duncan, shipping commissioner for the port of New York. Further than this, he was represented as saying that Capt. Duncan divided the fees of his office

3B88W*

with his sons. For this Capt. Duncan sued the Times for libel,, placing his damage at $100,000. The case occupied the attention of the Kings county court all last' week and a great deal of legal talent waa wasted. Of course Captain Duncan's able lawyer revealed the utter ruin of his client in the language that only great attorneys can command when in the presence of a murdered character and of course he depicted the "licentious press" in all its disgusting deformity. And after all this the jury walked into court yesterday ana awarded Captain Duncan the magnificent sum of 12 cents as a panacca for his wounds. Twelve cents is not a great deal of money to & man who has been injured by a professional Humorist through a great newspaper, but from amoral point of view Captain Duncan is vindicated, and he ought to feel happy. This twelve-cent verdict ought to discourage the barratrous attorneys and the wolfish shysters who make a business of worrying newspapers with libel suits. A certain class of lawyers have an idea that a libel suit against a newspaper is npt only a sure road to profit but fame as well. As a matter of fact the little glory they generally achieve in this line is gained, at the expense of their clients, and it is strange that men who have grievances against newspapers do not pause and reflect before sailing into litigation under the pilotage of the professional libel law' yers.

A Story of tbe Sea*

PaU Mall Gazette. A young lieutenant of the navy and a Russian merchant went in October last to the Gulf of St. Olga, in Eastern Asia, to visit the lead and silver mines which are worked bytheMantchu Tartars. Returning from the mines, they learned with diBmay that the latt steamer had left. To return on horseback to Vladivoetock meant twenty days of hardship in a rugged, roadless country, while tigers abound and rivers are numerous. The two young men, therefore, decided to return by barge twelve Mantchu oarsmen were hired, and they set out. For a few days all went well, but an autumn storm (swept down upon them, and for more than a week they were at the mercy of the waves. All their provisions, except one box of biscuits, were swept everboard, the oars and the rodder broken, and the sail torn to shreds. The Mantchus fell down in despair, weeping, crying and praying. The gallant lieutenant alone was left to undertake the direction of the boat, and although one of his legs was frozen, and his companions were slowfy dying of starvation, he never despaired. By superhuman efforts he succeeded after a voyage of thirteen days in reaching a little Japanese port, where they were received with great kindness by the natives. A few days later they were picked up by a Russian steamer, which took them back to Vladivostock.

A "Paralyzed Drummer.

Detroit Free Press. •,/ Talk about pretty girls—but she wis a wild flower and no mistake! She got on the train to go over to Meridian from Vicksbuig and she was all alone. There was a sort of sidelong movement among five or six men, but a drummer for a Philadelphia saddlery house got there first. He grabbed up his grip and walked square up to her seat and took possession of half of it without asking a question, and in ten minutes he seemed to be perfectly at home. She answered his questions briefly, and he had the hardest kind of work to keep up conversation, and as the train approached Jackson she suddenly said: "I want to telegraph papa from here. Will you help me?" "Oh, certainly. I have a blank in my pocket. Write your telegram and I will run into the office with it."

We missed him when the train started, but by the by he was found in the smoking-car, his hat crushed down and his nerves all on edge. When asked what had happened, he drew forth the telegram which the girl had requested him to hand in. It read "Bring your shotgun with you to pop over a drummer who has dreadfully annoyed me. Shoot to kill." "To think," he gasped, "that one so fair could be so murderous!"

Indiana Wheat.

Indianapolis Special. The secretary of the state Doard of agriculture has been sizing the wheat outlook. He says the four inches of snow on the ground will increase the value of the crop very largely. The last ten days of February were severe on the wheat, and many fields were blighted, and the outlook began to appear discouraging. But the snow will be the salvation of the wheat by retarding its growth and protecting it during the dangerous fluctuations of a March temperature—a great danger of sudden changes in the ejection of the roots of growing grain by the cracking of the ground. This danger does not exist, and the wheat prospects for Indiana from the data obtainable is favorable for an excellent crop.

EXPERIENCE.

The Rev. Z. P. Wilds, well-known city missionary in New York, and brother of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, write* as follows: "78 E. Mth St., Keto York, May 16,1882. MBSSBS. J. C. AVER & Co.. j«ntlemen:

Last winter I was troubled witU a mostuncomfortable itching humor affecting more especially my limbs, wliicii itched so intolerably at night, and burned so intensely, that I could scarcely bear any clothing over them. 1 was also a sufferer from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cough my appetite was poor, and my system a good deal run down. Knowiug the value of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, by observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years, I began taking it for the above-named disorders. My appetite improved almost from the first uoee. After a short time tho fever and itching were allayed, and all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough were also cured by the same means, and my general health greatly improved, until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent stronger, and I attribute these results to the uso of tbe SARSAPARILLA, which I recommend with all confidence as the best blood medicine ever devised. I took it in small doses three times a day, and used, in all, less than two bottles. I place these facts at your service, hoping their publication may do good.

Yours respectfully, Z. P. WILDS." Tbe above instance is but one of the many constantly coming to our notice, which prov^ the perfect adaptability of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA to tho cure of all diseases arising from impure or impoverished blood, and a weakened vitality.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla

cleanses, enriches, and strengthens the blood, stimulates tbe action of the stomach and bowels, and thereby enables the system to resist and overcome the attacks of all Scrofttlotis Diseases, Eruptions of the Skin, Jiheunatism, Catarrh, General Debility, and all iisorders resulting from poor or corrupted Hood and a low state of tbe system.
