^"•"Mr. Lon Foster is an excellent man, maybe, but he do6s not seem to have "been promoted by his employers

IfFor several days the Express hes-f-J itated to follow the Gazette's example in the use of personal attacks on candidates. But the Gazette was blindly persistent.^^^^^^^^

if Long ago the Gazette was in the habit of reading its contemporaries ••i" lectures on the danger of using secondhand information. It is sad to Bee the 3 Gazette suffering from faulty informa•A tion received at second-hand. i. ==T

The Gazette, according to its custom, has foolishly been led into a serious '4 blunder in making a personal attack 1 upon Mr. Reichert, that Foster, whose incompetency isjfally shown, might be ids elected trustee of this township. .•

If Mr. Foster is such an estimate man why has he remained at the foot ^•of the ladder in railroad business for twenty years? Executive ability is recognized in railroad service quicker than'in the civil service or any other employment.

After twenty yeare Mr. Foster is discharged from the one position he has held during all that time because he is considered incompetent. No promotion. No acknowledgement of ability. No anything, except a final discharge for incompetency.

Harrison township and the city "of Terse Haute are practically one and the same. Every one in the city is aware of the gross maladministration of the city's affairs since the Democratic party took charge last May. The election of Monday bears directly upon city affairs^^^^—— "Of course it is a Yankee idea, this of piutting the date on eggs. It is the Lowell Advertiser that seriously advises that each newly-laid egg should have the date written upon it, with the name of the producer, or rather the name of the producer's owner.

He reId with his parents until mus[into service, where he did val^rvice for his country for a period ie five years. In 1853 he emito this country, and became a it of Indianapolis in July of the pear.

OUR GOOD-NATUBE. brfulness and good-nature are Iteristics of the American. Not lie humor of the Gaul which

gayety to despair, or changes April day, nor the stolid conthe Saxon, but an elastic,sunny usually proof against disappointcareless of consequences, intoo often to positive evil. A of free American citizens, from per, who has his vote, to the aire, who haB no more, will joseat the show, the race-track, or the polls, with an equanimity rarely disturbed. The same crowd dispersed in its various avocations, from humbugging the township trustee to running a railroad or bamboozling a legislature, will watch or seemingly not watch the gradual piling-up of abuses, municipal, legislative, social or legal, with an easy composure which is by no meanB the result of blindness or ignorance. That every one is aware that the gonerotis public and patient people are being trifled with, swindled or imposed upon is shown, perhaps, by a shower of witticisms and caricatures, but the jokers enjoy their fun so much as to be satisfied. An old chivalric idea was ti hate and fight a man without ceasing to be polite, as the English officer cried out, taking off his hat: "Gentlemen of the French Guards, fire if you please!" and the Frenchman, not to be outdone in politeness, replied: "We never fire first!" Fortunately this latter fool fell at the first fire. The American idea seems to be to fight and apparently hate without being angry.

Good humor is thought to be at the expense of strength—the more of it, the more of weakness. While we can not admit that the American is weak, we can that he sacrifices honor, justice and money to his easy-going temper, or indifference to great principles.

In all that concerns the American, that he thinks is of vital importance, he is earnest, direct, energetic and successful. He has worked hard, still works hard to make a living, to get rifh. When he becomes rich he dabbles a little in other matters and becomes desirous to promote the ethics. Indeed we know of men become rich who will sacrifice themselves as senators and presidents and a very respectable number of citizens would allow them to buy their places. So we do not tolerate abuses because weekly good natured but because very busy and very tolerant, especially of what does not concern us, but there is a limit to the most* elastic of tempers and a quick, sharp outburst partially, only partially, clears the atmosphere. The most horribly swindled and mismanaged city in the world, New York, the leader of the business of the country, full of the shrewdest and most honorable men, patiently carried its burdens, and then tipped Tweed over, but New York is not Paradice nor even what it might be yet.

All the great cities have had or still have their rings of tolerated robbers, but there is never enough scolding to become chronic. The man who would once in a year protest would in time be considered a sort of scold. Still, revolts do occur at times. The Cincinnati outbreak will be a memorable instance, but we can not call any riotous or mob demonstration an American protest, for the foreign element of our population has much to do with such events. In this case there can be no doubt of the moral support of the American-born, or of its waut of disapprobation. There is just enough to show that it is not weakness nor cowardice that makes men so patient—enough to •how that in time the American will regulate his institutions with as much firmness, justice and wifdom as the

foreigner who is dandled like a babel "i® world. So

They could have done so this time in two hours.

They should send a detachment of their number here, however, to describe our own peculiar April. If they would, the rhymes produced would have a great deal more to say about tears and sighs than blossoms, laughter and sunshine.

TOICE OP THE PEOPLE.

Consistency Thou Art a Jewel. To the Editor of the Express. SIB: Thursday's "Gazette" gives an account of two of our ministers who have been visiting the "haunts of vice." Well Weill Did they go because they considered it their duty, or because Henry Ward Beecher and Rev. DeWitt Talmage went, "or was It curiosity that took them. The paper says the ministers talked kindly to the girls. Well, what right had they to talk otherwise than kindly, but if one of those women were to go Into the church what would be their reception?

It is said of one of the gentlemen who went on this tour of Inspection, that, not long ago, a member, or frequenter of his church was' about to marry a lady, against whom remarks detrimental were made. This minister Is reported as telling him that if he married her, he (the minister) must refuse him the right hand of fellowship and also, that be must take a back seal. Others at the same time telling him that they could prove what they said.

Would any one of them have told that he was no companion for her? No, a woman may swerve ever so slightly from the path of duty and the world "folds its robes" cheerfully around it and says. "Better than thou," but to the man it says, "We knowyou have laid waste your own life, and the life of many, but what does it matter, it only increases your fascination. We have nothing to forgive."

As long as the law allows It, we cannot for anything better, a hli

look license Is

but when

put at a. hi'ghfigure,there will be

a better class of houseb and abetter class

of people. As for ministers visiting, It can do no possible good. One day they .are "spoken kindly to" and the next tbey are not spoken to at all. One class are too "low for anything," and there Is "no excuse in the world for them," and another class are—well we know they are talked about, but then they are intellectual, and after all, we don't know any particular harm of them. Oh, no there Is no harm meant, but we think them insane. Yes, insanity is broadcast over the land. It strikes the high and the low, the rich and the poor, and the sooner people stop beating around the bush, and call things by tnelr proper names, that much better it will be for the world.

The first thing that necessary 1b to recognize that we are all children of one father—that the mantle of love falls over all alike, and that It is the duty of the stronger to help the weaker. Has not the example been set to us in the days gone by? "He that be without sin, let him cast the first stone."

There Is no particular sin spoken of, and now, as then, there is not one who would dare to cast the first stone.

Now, beyond a doubt, those girls expect to be well peddled from the pulpit, and in all probability will be, but will those men give their plain, candid, unvarnished belief?

It would be well for the coming divines If they could look into the future before giving the best years of their lives to the study of what may prove as "dust and ashes" when it is too fate to take up other work, and, lest like the old pea-nut vender of New York who had seen better days, they may long for something more in '-Pea nuts, pea nuts," yells the old woman "hope to goodness nobody hears me."

After the Riot.

To the Editor of the Express. SIB: There seems to be a general Impression that crime of all kinds is on the increase. We have no positive means of determining this. Alllowance must be made for the Increase of population and for the daily communication among all parts of the world. If a crime Is com mltted in Asia or South America to-day, we hear of it to-morrow formerly, we never heard of it. To-day, the most in significant crime is telegraphed all over the country formerly, the news never went beyond the neighborhood where the deed was committed. There has been for some time, a feeling that the number of convictions were not in proportion to the number of crimes. This sentiment has been especially strong in Cincinnati, where there were forty murderers in Jail and no prospect of hanging any of them. The people of that city did not pause to refleot that they they had elected a mayor and other officers who were notoriously in favor of giving the utmost license to liquor selling, gambling, etc., and who were openly opposed to the observance of Sunday and that this excess of crime was the direct r«sult of such an administration. But beoomlng suddenly aware that something must be done they called an indignation meeting to create

ire

public senti

ment—and succeeded. The riot is ended, and summing up the results

find—a two million dollar court

house in ruins, to replace which' the city must be heavily taxed a thirteen thousand dollar library reduced to ashes the valuable records of years destroyed In a single night two hundred men killed and wounded, most of them respectable cltisens and the support of families business injured the community demoralised the murderers all safe In their oells the judges ready to open court again the criminal lawyers preparing to clear the rest of their clients and the same old dead-beats hanging around, waiting to be put

the Jury. In other cities this riot

will have no permanent effect In the administration of the law in Cincinnati Justice will put on her war-palnt and hang the next two or three criminals, whether they are guilty or not.

For this dissatisfaction, whioh finds expression in all large cities, there seem to about five causes, vis.: whiskey, law.

Judge*,

Juries and lawyers. If yon would

abolish the first, the occupation of nlnetenthsof therestwouldbe^one. Whisky

responsible for moat

1 and drank with the sanction of the law

and set here and there as his divinely-' and the consent of tho people, we may ordained legislators please. There is to have our Jails toll of crimiwl. little use to cry, "Lord, how long?" for villainy, fraud, law-breaking and oppression in due time will fill their measure and find the heart, the virtue, the moral force of this people as intense, as true as its energy, its love of liberty.

so long as the whisky ring controls It is useless to talk of re-

am the elections^. form. The laws, If rightly interpreted^ are Just and wise. Even the "technicalities," which are so berated, are proper and. neoessary. The Judge, in a jury trial, has few opportunities for corrupt practices. The eyes of all the members of the bar are apon blm if his charge to the Jury is illegal it 1b a discredit tohimself and the supreme court stands ready to sustain an appeal from his decisions. The Juries are really responsible for most of the unjust verdicts but since onr best citizens, through every Imaginable excuse, and pretext, refuse to sit npon Juries and since the very qualifications necessary for a Juror offer a premium upon Ignorance and competency we have no right to expect a wise or a Just verdict.

But, according to public opinion, the criminal lawyer is the chief offender, somewhat worse than the prisoner himself. This may be true he may be a very disreputable character, but the greatest attorneys of this country have been criminal lawyeis. Daniel Webster,Henry Clay, John C. Calhonn. Rufus Choate. Charles O'Conner, D. W. Voorhee?. all made their reputation as criminal lawyers. The principal objection to this kind of a lawyer is that he clears his clients, but, if he did not do this, how long would be have any clients? It is charged that he uses unfair means, that lie defeats justice. If a lawyer undertakes to defend a prisoner, what are bis obligations To see that his client is tried on a good Indictment that no Illegal evidence is admitted that be has every advantage of the law that he is

Exchange. "There is one thing about babies," said a recent traveler, "they never change. Wo have girls of the period, men of the world but the baby is the same self-pos. sessed, fearless, laughing, voracious little heathen in all ages and in all countries."

iroved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Is his business to see that his client has every benefit which the law affords. Long experience bas^shown that it is necessary to throw every safeguard around the defendant, in order that the innocent may not suffer punishment. When a lawyer undertakes to defend a olient, he agrees .to put forth all his energy and all blsskillas his advocate. The Juries are selected by commissioners who are appointed once a year byrthe Judge of the circuit court, in charging the Jury the Judge is required by law to use the words. "You are the Judges both of the law and the facts in this case." If the prisoner is found not guilty, the Judge has no author)ty to set aside the verdict.

The complaint is often made that the rich criminals escape and the poor are convicted. How can it be otherwise? You cannot get legal or any other kind of talent without money. How can it be ex-

Sected

that the lawyer will give his nowledge, time and labor without recompense? If the prisoner cannot afford ceunsel, the Judge provides it for him, and it is always some young attorney who will take the case for the sake of the experience. It Is a sad fact that the poor do not have an equal chance with the rich, but this is no more conspicuous In court than In ail other departments of life and you will always notice that these people who are loudest in their condemnation, should they get into trouble, will immediately rush for the best criminal lawyer and retain his services, regardless of .expense.

If the people are tired of the way in which the laws are administered, there are several remedies. First, let them elect officers who have a high sense of respectability, honor and integrity. Second, if they desire legal talent upon the bench, let them pay such a salary as will command it. A railroad or any important corporation pays a lawyer from ¥10,000 to

$30,000

a year, but the great

state of Indiana, for the protection of the sacred rights of her citizens, pays a circuit Judge 92,500 and supreme 1 udge 14,000 per annum. For the prosecution of her criminals, the cause of all this terrible outcry at present, she pays the magnificent salary of $500 a year. For this sum he must prosecute all criminals, while the lawyer for the defendant frequently receives five times that amount for a single ease. Consequently the prosecuting attorney is generally a young or inexperienced lawyer, while the counsel for the defense is probably the most able member of the bar. As a matter of course, the latter wins the case ninety-nine times out of a hundred, and then the people hold an Indignation meeting and burn up the court house.

A BRIGHT LETTER,

Written by the Most Bashful Girl In the Country to tho Bashfulest Man in Town.

A week of mfa'e "ago Miss Mary Krout, associate editor of the Crawfordsville Journal, was in the city, and while here was shown the looms of the Ft. Harrison club. On the wall, among other pictures, was the portrait of Mr. R. G. Hervey. With her escort Miss Krout paid the portrait and its subject a compliment. Mr. Hervey, being informed of the remarks, sent a beautiful bouquet to Miss Krout, who was known to him only through her reputation as a remark" ably gifted woman. On the card Mr. Hervey wrote, "From tire bashfulest man town." After her return home Mies Krout wrote the letter given below, which is one more instance of her facility with the pen:

TO THE BASHFULEST MAN IN TOWN, FROM

THB BASHFULEST WOMAN IN THE

COUNTBT.

'Tis a common"pAof that lowliness is young ambition's ladder."—Julius Caesar, Act II., Scene I.

The "Lost Arts" has been a fruitful theme for writers and orators. The pessimist whose instincts prompt him to take a cynical view of the moral situation not only laments the loss of knowledge related to chemistry, mechanics, and engineering, but further believes that with them have away the virtues that ennol the martyr, warrior, saints and s^ges of by-gone generations. In thes-1 days of "sluggish peace," he argues, we have reason to deplore the decay of courage. The luxury of the present has exerted a corrupting and enervating influence.

Charity hRS been absorbed by all powerful and all prevading selfishness. Great monopolies in their ambition to gain and retain ascendency are proof beyond dispute that truth and humility are likewise to be classed amon virtues no longer extant. The rapi and appalling increase of that class termed in vulgar parlance mashers, has led them to assert, also, that modesty or bashfulness—which is its other name—is also among the things that were. For thiB despondent vie many individuals are responsible.

First, the commercial traveler may be mentioned. For it cannot be denied that he takes possession of the railway coach, smilihg smiles of tran' scendent sweetness, over a .breastwork of luggage, at all the women young and old, plain and handsome, in his immediate vicinity and out of it

Second—Numerous gentlemen of elegant leisure, who also go frequently abroad.

Third—The negro minstrel, who suns himself in front of the hotel, his silk hat placed upon his head at an angle of forty-five degrees, a cigar held gracefully two fingers, one polished boot crossing the other and resting upon its glossy toe his eyes half closed, his teeth gleaming under his well brushed moustache like a row of infant tombstones. These, it can not be gainsaid, are at all times and under all circumstances totally devoid of bashfulness, an bent upon making an impression upon the susceptible hearts of any of the opposite sex who may cross their path. They undoubtedly do furnish •-xrernal evidence calculated to misItMd the student of ethics impressed with the belief that we are rushing at a break-neck pace headlong to the bow wows. But he forgets that potent saving remnant, who though they exert a silent influence, are not the lesB irresistible. Now and then a glorious example of this sort—the exponent of genuine and unadulterated bashfulness, is presented for consideration, and 0 how beautiful it is! What a picture it calls up. The

iatiDg

glance, the drooping head,

wncast eye, #ie nervous shifting

of the feet, the folding and unfolding of the hands—how charming are they, each And every one the signs and tokeno of the bashful man. Painful as the confession is, it must be admitted that there are species of bashfulness not for one moment, to be tolerated, much less recommended. Of these may be mentioned first, the bashfulness of the politician who declines an o£Sce, foi which his party consider him eminently fitted

an editor who refuses a railroad pass third, the bashfulness of a woman who Btays at home from church when she has a becoming new bonnet fourth, the bashfulness of a man who refuses to boast of his Plymouth Bock hens or Alderney cow fifth* the bashfulness of a Terre Haute man disclaiming praise and admiration that are justly duo him. On the other hand there are varieties of bashfulness as lovely in their manifestation as they are rare, among these may be named: First, the bashfulness of an editor setting forth the merits of his own paper second, the bashfulness of a railway magnate in securing his share of the benefits of a pool third, the bashfulness of a capitalist in recounting his successful enterprises fourth, ana last the bashfulness of a man gifted with extraordinary social, intellectual and personal attractions, who, in a gnu iul act promptly performed, seeks to conceal the modest confusion the recognition of these qualities has occasioned him. Yet there are inr stances where bashfulness results as disastrously as may truthfulness and strict integrity occasion. One illustration of this may be given: A young, beautiful, brilliant, gifted and amiable woman was made the recipient of a most recipient and odoriferous bouquet She longed indescribably and unceasingly to inform the generous donor of her exceeding gratitude and unbounded appreciation. A dozen times she essayed the difficult task of putting her thoughts into words, and ten or eleven times both heart and language failed her. He never knew now those flowers were carefully conveyed to her distant home in a remote legion of Hoosierdom, although she staggered— weak, delicate creature though she was—under the weight of one dress, one New Market coat, one bundle of merchandise, one gossamer, one bonnet, one traveling bag, one book, one large photograph, glazed and framed, one map of Vigo county and one volume of Eminent Men of Indiana, extra heavy. He never knew how they were conveyed to her apartments, carefully nursed, placed in a bowl upon her table to shed their soothing fragrance about her as she indited spring poetry and burning editorials. Or how as they withered and became staler and staler, with what regret and anguish they were removed and placed tenderly on the softest spot in the ash heap. And alas! he never, never, never will know! CRAWFOBDSVILLE,

PASTOR AND PEOPLE.

"Paul's Third Missionary Journey" the Subject of the Suaday School Lesson To-day.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Lesson for April—Subject: "Paul's Third Missionary Journey"—Actsxvlli. 23-38 xix. 1-7.

This third missionary journey made by Paul occupied about the years from 54 to 58 A. D. This lesson covers only from the spring of 54 to that of 55. He passed tlirough-Ealalia, Phygia, Ephesus (stopping there some three years), thence perhaps the JSgean Sea to Macedonia, Greece, and to Jerusalem. His main object was to strengthen the churches.

Ephesus was the capital and most important city of the province of Asia the emporium of the trade of the east one of the eyes of Asia, as it was called: at the time of Paul's visit, a free city with thriving commerce, fair cultivation of the arts and literature, a fervor of idolotry, and bewitched with sorcery. The harbor has long since been filled up by the wash of the sea and the Boil brought down by the river, and only ruins remain of tho oace beautiful structures only death where once was thriving and vigorous life. Paul, on his missionary journey, coming to this city, found here certain disciples who bad learned the firot lesson of Christianity, but had not gone on to take the second. Paul, Bome six or eight months before, had preached one sermon in the synagogue at Ephesus, but had refused an urgent invitation to remain if we take his sermon at Antioch, in Pisidia (chap, xiii.) as a type of his preaching to the Jews—and it is the only fully reported sermon to his countrymen which we possess—he did not under take to set the whole Christian system before them, but simply the truths that Jesus is the Messiah, and that through him, by repentence, is remis remission of sins nothing was prob ably said about the Trinity, the gift of the Holy Ghost, the form or nature of baptism, or church order, or organiz ation. Having planted the seed, the Apostle departed. He was followed by A polios but Apolios knew the facts of Christianity only by rumor and very imperfectly (chapter xviii. 24.28), and nothing, concerning the gift of the Holy Ghost, or the nature of Christian baptism. Was this knowledge imparted to these Ephesian Christians by Aquila and Priscilla? There is no evidence that it was in a city of

many thousand

inhabitants they may have never met or even heard of these strangere from Corintb. Moreover, there is nothing to indicate that the latter were Christian teachers, or had acquired anything more than the rudiments of Christianity. It is reasonable to presume, then, that as the result of the preaching of Paul and Apolios a few Jews had accepted the truth that Jesus is the Messiah, and had been baptized, as a symbol of repentance, perhaps by Apolios, certainly with a baptism like that of John that insomuch as they accepted Jesus as the Messiabj they were recognized as disciples—i. e., as pupils— though ignorant of some of the fundamental principles of Christian theology that they received no further in struction from Apolios, who proceeded immediately to Greece, nor from Aquila and Priscilla, who were not rabbis, and had no opportunity to teach what they knew, publicly, in the synagogue, and who, for aught that appears in the narrative, ana never met these deciples, and were as yet imperfectly instructed themselves. They believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah but the further truth that another Comforter had come, who was given for light and life to all that would receive him (chap. ii. 38, 39), they had never beard of.

In his exposition oftbis lesson Lyman Abbott,'editor of the Christian Union, says: "Tbere are three schools of thought respecting God which may be put roughlv in contrast with each other, thus: The first believes that there is no God the second, that there once was a God the third, that there is now a God. The first, that there is no revelation the second, that there was once a revelation the third, that there is a continuous and unceasing revealing by the living spirit of God to the living spirit of man. The first, that God is unknown the second, that something may be known of him by the record he has written in nature, in historv, and in sacred literature the third, that he may be known directly, personally, sympathetically, by a life of communion with him. The fint, that there is no guidance the second, that the Bible is the only guide the third, that the same God who guided the heroes of the Bible is the guide of every child who trusts in him. Hit first is an infidel, the second a Jew or Jndaizing Christian, tho third believes in the Holy Ghost

Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaint? are so insidious in their attack as those affecting the throat and longs: none so trifled with by the majority of sufferers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often but the beginning of a fatal SICKNESS. AYER'S CHERBY PECTORAL has well proven its efficacy In a forty years' light with throat and lung diseases, and should be taken in all cases without delay.

A Terrible Cough Cored. In 18871 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I had a te.rrible cough,andpassed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried AYER'S CHXRKY PECTORAL, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of mystrength. By the continued use of the PECTORAL a permanent cure was effected. I am now 62 years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your CHERRY PECTORAL saved me.

Croup.—A Mother's Tribute. "While in the country last winter my uttie 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 AYER'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 yon wonder at onr gratitude? Sincerely yours,

THE WAY TO SUCCEED.

No truer maxim was ever written than that the way to suocesAia to aaeceed. Determination coupled with ability can overcome all obstacles thai cuf arise, and in looking over a list of the most successful men in business of kind, one is struck by one thing in particular that is, that the most snecesaM of the successful men are those who art* practical and are familiar with detail of their trade or profession. It is an oft-quoted saying, that the bealis the cheapest, and though it is disputed at times the truth ef the statement jet remains the rule applies to carriage building, as well as to any other branch of business, and it must be remembered that a first-class job must bear a priw fei proportion to the skill and expense of its construction, and this is where

slipshod cheap makers impose on purchasers by using inferior material, «nploying cheap workmen, and above all, not having the knowledge or ability to recognize good work when they see it. They get up showy work whioh MI intelligent person will at once recognize as cheap slop-shop stuff, made by «nskilled workmen and intended to deceive the purchasers if they should not be capable of judging good work from inferior. The success the Harrison pbrtsn has enjoyed in past years is very flattering to the builder, indeed. Saoh recognition of merit is a most satisfactory endorsement of the enterprise, enttgy, expenditure and determination to excel.
