WHY YOU OUGHT TO JOIN.

The Spirit of the JJoard 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 pr transact business m.

Jeff Davis says he has been deprived of his rights as a citizen. According to all accounts Jeff is living in clover, thanks to the bounty of Mrs. Dorsey, and he is honored by the people of his State. What more does he want?

The following statement of a fact certainly ought to set at rest the question which is being disputed as to the comparative condition of workingmen in this country and in Great Britain: The burden of pauperism in Great Britain with a population of 35,000,000 is anually $50,000,000. The United States, with its 52,000,000 inhabitants, spendB upon pauperism less than $13,000,000. All this, too, with the fact that every year the United States receives from the old world multitudes of wretchedly poor immigrants. The United States protects her laborers, and gives them a chance to live. That is tue difference.

Slowly, as becomes it, the Gazette unfolds its views on the tariff question. We may have been impatient and said what, perhaps, might have been with' held until in the natural course of things our esteemed contemporary made plain its purposes. It has frequently published the views of the prominent Democrats who advocate free trade. Yesterday it presented in full the recommendations of the Morrison majoiity on the tariff bill, but not a word of the report of the minority. But the day before the Gazette gave us a tangible clue to what course it believes should be pursued toward the tariff. We give it in full, for the purpose of aiding our contemporary in its effort to inform the public of the position the Terre Haute Gazette, the daily democratic newspaper in the district of Congressman Lamb who alqne of all democratic congressmen from Indiana voted for Randall for speaker, and the only democratic dai$ published at the home of Senator Voorhees who is opposed to the doctrine of a tariff for revenue only. Here is the long looked for declaration which plainly means that our esteemed contemporary is in favor of the Morrison bill and favors free trade ultimately.

Congressman Bam Randall Is credited with a purpose to antagonize the Morrison tariff bill with a proposition to take the tax entirely off of tobacco and reduce the tax on whisky. If he or any number of congressmen think the country will quietly submit to see the tax on tobacco and whisky taken off or reduced one oenton the pound or gallon they are very greatly mistaken. Both are luxuries of such sort as to occupy a wholly unique posltlion and both should be made to bear the heaviest possible burden of taxation compatible with certainty of collection. Four fifths of the government revenue should certainly be derived from them, and the other fifth might, after a while, be collected from the same source, when the public debt has been paid, the pension list of the widows and orphans of the revolutionary war has been reduced, and Belford, of Colorado, has found a congenial home in some lunatic asylum. If congress is anxious to raise a storm that will shake the country from center to clrcumferance and relegate to eternal private life every man who votes for the proposition, it had better try reducing the tax on whisky and tobacco.

The reading public has observed the loose proceedings in our courts during the past few weeks. There is no need of comment by the Express. Every one knows how this newspaper has been attacked by the class shysters whose practices have disgraced onr bar for comments that have been made upon those practices. Within

the time named there have been proceedings in the local courts, grand jury and places of mstice( that are wholly inexcusable.

A grand jury found an indictment against a woman for stealing five cents worth of wood yet the same grand jury iailed to indict the parties engaged in the affair at a saloon wherein two young men almost forcibly took from a stronger bis pocket book, the details of which will be remembered by the public. There were at least two cases of black-mailing which were known to the public, but noth iug is heard' of them from the grand jury. The woman was indicted for stealing five cents worth of wood however, fined and sentenced. How was she tried in court? The fact is she was fined and sentenced without being present, an unheard of thing in criminal proceedure. She knew noth ing of her trial or sentence until she read the Express the next morning. She had plead not guilty. Her lawyer and the prosecutor agreed to have her fined and sentenced without her knowledge and the judge on the bench carried out the agreement.

Two lawyers indulged in a personal controversy, and it was so extreme that even the court, which is used to such displays, felt called upon to have the words taken down, and ordered a committee to investigate the occurrence looking to the punishment of the offendere. All Wall street laughed The matter was passed over for a day. One of the lawers offered an apology, which was accepted. The othor was given two or three days to decide what he would do and then he gave the court a written statement, the purport of which was kept from the public. There the affair ended.

Thes® are but sample cases. Who can have any respect for the laws when thus easily avoided and put at naught,

Missouri Statesmanship.

Chicago News. Viewing Missouri from the cold Btand point of dramatic criticism, we find that her statemanship is represented in four schools. Frank James is her brightest exponent in the way of tr.agedy Gov, Crittenden and his osculatory exploits All the emotional field those St. Louis people trying to beat Chicago out of convention have no equals in comedy and Senator Cockrell tipping over his chair upon the floor of the senate cham ber is entitled to the first place among grand speotacular dramas.

NOT TOO AMBITIOUS.

Gov. Hamilton Gossips About His Plans and His Prospects. Chicago News.

Gov, Hamilton was among the arrivals at the Sherman house yesterday In an interview he said: "There is no .man in public life in Illinois who has less political ambition than I have. It would be better for me were I living the life of a private citizen, as I formerly did. If I should be elected governor I would serve out the term of four years, but I would not accept the United States senatorship if it were offered to me, because I believe if a man is elected to an office he should fill it, and not use it as a stepping-stone to further greatness. If defeated I would take it calmly, and go back to private life instead of sulking, as some of my acquaintances have done." "Do you feel confident of the nomination?" "As confident as one can consistent ly feel who has been vilified by the

Millionaire and Miner.

Washington Critic.

In the lobby of the Riggs house yes terday morning two old-time friends met. One was Senator Bowen, of Colorado the other, an old miner, who looked a trifle seedy. The senator had just emerged from the breakfast room. The miner stood idly gazing in the direction in which the senator came.

Hello! Tom Bowen. Why, bless my soul, you ain't changed a d—n bit since I met you in the Rockies in '68," was the undignified salutation of the miner. "No, Bill," said the Senator, "I reckon I am about the same."

The two held a conversation for a short time, when the miner was overheard to say: "Tom,stake me I'm dead busted. Ain't got a dollar."

The senator pulled from his pocket a large roll of bills and counted out about $50 in money and handed it to his friend.

They then separated. The senator went to his room and the other walked towards the bar, where a friend was awaiting him. •'Tom fixed me," said he "but, after all, he only did what I have done for him many a time. Away back in the good old days, before Tom struck it rich, I would often stake ^him.- I remember one time that he borrowed five ounces of gold to get into a game of poker with. You know Tom is a keen, shrewd poker player and can come as near holding four aces up his sleeve and playing them on the

OOVB

as any one I ever saw. Well he continued, "Tom got into the game, and it lasted foriy-eight hours. When he came to pay me the borrowed gold I asked him how he made out "Oh said he, "I scooped the boys in for $13,000." '•But," resumed the miner, "after that time it was a common thing for Tom Bowen to make as high as a $25,000 winning." $

He was very much afraid that some one would steal one of his arms if something was done to counter-act the drug.

According to an English lady now traveling in Japan, every one, rich and poor, in that country takes a dip at least once a day in a caldron of hot water. The rich bathe before dinner and at bedtime. The whole household dip in the same hot water. A bath, except at a thermal spring, is only an immersion. Precedence is given to the elders when there are no visitors, then to the young people according to their

age, next the maidservants.

MME. PATTI ON KISSING.,

She Denies the Crittenden Kiss and Speaks of Sherman as a Horrid Person, Denver Republican.

Mme. Patti was visited by a reporter last evening. "The papers of St. Louis," she said, with a merry laugh and a blush which gave the lie to the stories of rouge and pearl powder connected with her name, "printed a stoiy that Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, called upon me behind the scene3 and that I let him kiss me. What abominable nonsense! The governor came to see me at the Southern hotel, and* we had a pleasant talk about opera and other things. He paid me seme pretty compliments and I thought him a ver pleasant gentleman, but as for kissing him—bah," and the maid laughed. "I do all my kissing on the stage, and I sometimes kiss my parrot. I kiss no gentlemen." "How about Nicolini?" the reporter was audacious enough to inquire. "Oh, Nicolini is not troublesome in that way," with an utterly contented laugh, and then continued thoughtfully, "I do not like kissing, even on the stage. The men rumple my dresses, and if*

I have flowers in my hair or in my bosom, they fall out. And they embrace you, and you have to look pleasant while you feel as if you wanted to discharge him from the company for clumsiness. I never met but one man who could kiss properly on the stage." *.* "Who was he?"

"Oh, that was long ago,"' lightly. "Gen. Sherman tried to kiss me once in Washington, when I had been singing in "Trovatore," but I drew back and ran away into the wings. He had just been kissing a lot of ballot creatures, the impudent man." "If your kissing on the Btage is so unpleasant, Mme. Patti, why don't you teach some of your singers who are with you how to do it?" "I can teach them nothing most operatic male singers are sticks, and cannot learn to act. To kiss properly on the stage while watching the conductor's baton is difficult. The lover should gradually draw near to me, and at the proper time he should take my hand, place his other arm around my waist and draw me to him gently, and then should kisB me softly, making no noise and not letting the oscu—oscu— what do you reporters call it?" "Osculation?" "Osculation, yes—last too long. Then he should release me witli tenderness and I should draw a little back, timidly. When that is through it is generally time to sing again." "But do you want the actor to kiss you actually asked the horrified reporter. "Certainly why not? You Americans place too much importance upon that. With me it is an art, and would sacrifice everything for my art." Patti rose to her feet as she said this and certainly looked as if she meant what she had spoken. "I live for my divine art," continued she. "I have had cruel things said about me by the people and papers, but I care not. I am Patti, and I am the first prima donna in the world. With that I am satisfied."

Father Wilds' EXPERIENCE.

The Rev. Z. P. Wilds, well-known city missionary in New York, and brother of tbe late eminent Judge Wilds, of the MasaachuMtta Supreme Court, writes as follows: 78 E. 64th St., New York, May 16, 1882. MESSRS. J. C. AYER & Co.. Gentlemen

Last winter I was troubled with a most unoomfortable itching humor affecting more especially my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night, and burned so intensely, that I could scarcely bear any clothing over them. I was also a sufferer from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cough my appetite was poor, and my system a good deal run down. Knowing the value of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, by observation of many other cases, an£ from personal use in former years. I began taking it for the above-named disorders. My appetite Improved almost from the first dose. After a short time the 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 use of the SARSAPAIULI.A, 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. 1 place these facts at your service, hoping their publication may do good.

Yours respectfully, Z. P. WLLDS." The above instance is but one of the many constantly coming to our notice, which prove the perfect adaptability of AVER'S SABSA* PARILLA to the cure of all diseases arising _rom impure or impoverished blood, and a weakened vitality.

Ayer's Sarsapanlla

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