the business world. Much of the depression in business in .1884 was due to the fact that should the democrats come into power they would give no assurance of their policy. Expectations have proven, too true. Every act of the new administration affecting business interests has been discouraging. The most appropriate illustration is what seems to be a determination to destroy American shipping. Secretary Whitney, Postmaster General Vilas and Attorney General Garland, each a novice in national affairs, have combined their efforts toward that end. Mr. Whitney, with kind assistance from the attorney general, threw John Roach's works into bankruptcy, rendering foreign ship-builders an incalculable benefit. Vilas to the rescue. He preferred to have our bcean mails carried in foreign bottoms and lost no time in the accomplishment of his^esign. Economy afi a plea for these inroads upon this branch of American industry is nonsensical. These acts will call the present administration to account before the people, and the blundering democracy will go down in a sea of righteous indignation in its "foreign" bottoms.

The Marshall Illinoisan defends Senator Voorhees from the attacks made upon him by the Evansville Courier, a demo cratic paper. The Illinoisan says the attacks "from their nature are unjustified and wrong." The occasion for the attacks was that no democratic soldiers have ligen appointed to office. The Illinoisan says:

We fear this soldier whine is going to overreach itself and wear itself out from too constant use. It has ever been a feeble thing, nt best. Its foundation is bnt a claim to office for a class, something un-American and undemocratic. Its whole substance rests on this weak basis, and most inevitably go down of its own weight. Yet iff the clauor of the soldiers is kept np as it has been a people will bo Inade to feel that a sore has been removed from the side of politics when the last battle-Bcar-red veteran shall have passed into the great to-morrow.

The Illinoisan is right in saying the claim of the soldier to office is un-demo: cratic, but it is positively republican. Not a day paeses but that some war scarred veteran, a member of tbe republican party, is turned out of office and his place given to some mossback or copperhead. This soldier question will not down. The deserved recognition it has received at the hands of the republican party in the past will keep it uppermost for the present and foremost when the republicans shall again come into power. When the last'soldier is taken -from his earthly labors, then will it be that that the coppeihead and knight of the golden circle whose sneaking figure moved in the north and whose sympathies were anchored south of the Mason and Dixon line, then will they feel that "a sore has been removed from the side of politics,"

The Evansville Journal is very much worried over the fact that the Ringgold band carried off first prize at the tournament Monday. The paper says:

Had the judges of the band tournament known tnat the Ringgold band, of Terre Haute, brought with them six professional Cincinnati musicians in order to "help them ont," the decision would doubtless have been different. The first prize of $100 ought to have been awarded under the circumstances to the "When band," of Indianapolis, and the Ringgolda ought to have been relegated to second place or lower. It was a trick unworthy a band se famous as that one, to import half dozen professional musicians from another oity. If the Ringgold cannot succeed on ttieir own merits they should disband.

The prize was offered for tKe best band. The judges decided in favor of the Ring golds. The When band consisted partly of players from another Indianapolis band, The Model. At the band tournament held here last year th'e present leader of the When had with him a number of "imported" players from New York. However, it is very surprising that the Journal should laud the When band when it offered an insult to Evansville by forming a burlesque band and marching down to the depot Monday night, playing discordantly, the play ers occasionally shouting "Mud hole Evansville!" and muttering words that would not look well in print. The When also refused to remain at the park according to agreement after the prize had been awarded.

TALK ABOUT TOWN/

FRAUDS "Say, my friend, do yejikr.ow •that with all its advantages, 8gcia§|iutellectual, commercial and otherwise, Terre Haute has within ils corporate borders a large number of unmitigated frauds and swindlers?" The above questeon was propounded to a repprter last evening by a gentleman of many years residence in Terre Haute and a man of much intelligence. The reporter disavowed any knowledge of the fact implied. "Well, sir, I can assure you that right here in this beautiful city we have, resident,'a large class of absolute frauds, and among them sll there are none who so thoroughly deserve public condemnation a3 the clairavoyants and mediums, socalled, who earn their only subsistanceby preying on the hard earnings, principally, of the ignorant poor. Why, sir, I could name at least six women and three men, who do nothing on earth for a living but swindle' silly servant girls and others who are weak-minded enough to be mislead, by pretending to restore strayed or stolen affections, reveal the location of. stolen property, cure disease by extravigant and unheard of methods, furnish means of securing sudden wealth and a thousand other impossible and foolish achievements. I know of one poor kitchen girl who spent no less than $17 with qne of these witch-wives in her anxiety to secure the love of a young florist who was afterwards found to have been married four years and who' had a wife and two children down in Sullivan county. I also know of an old gentleman whose superstition and credulity have been so played upon that he has actually expended $65 within the past eight months for written communications from a brother long dead, and who is supposed to be in heaven. Frauds! Why, sir, you can form no adequate idea of the extent to which this class of swindling is pushed in this city.."

SANITAKY—"From your professional position, doctor, what can" you say concerning the sanitary condition of the

city was asked yesterday by a reporter, of a leading physician "Well, I believe I am justified in asserting that not only is. Terre Haute in the most perfect sanitary condition known for several years, but by statistical comparison, -I am certain our city will be found in as thorough a cleanly and healthful condition as any city of its size in America. The present board of health may perhaps have devoted no more time or trouble to the work of purifying Terre Haute, than their predecessors, but it is very certain that not a measure for the sanitary improvement of the city has been adopted but has been strictly enforced. That is system—method, sir, without which, but little if any good could have been accomplished. When the present board went in^o office, the slaughter houses of the city were in a horrible condition, a certain source of pestilence and disease. The butchers were informed that they must 'clean up' and a system of cleansing was mapped out for their guidance. They were given an abundance of time, and given to understand that they would be pushed into the courts if they failed to carry out orders. The butchers had sense enough to recognize their duty, and performed it to^the letter. The slaughterhouses are in a perfectly' cleanly condition, now, and it is well for the health of the city that (hit is the case. There is les3 lAidsummer sickness in Terre Haute this season than t'or the past seven or eight -years, and I believe we may attribute the fact with justice to the wise provisions of the board of health, which have been steadily and systematically enforced."

Tion—Their Koster of Members.

Pursuant to the published notice a full attendance of the surviving members of the old Governor's Guards assembled last night in- the .Superior court room at 7 :30 o'lock, with Mr. W. P.

An extraordinary instance of the depreciation in the value of land in England is noted by the London World. In 1875 Pewit Island, near Harwich, containing 270 acres of freehold iand, was bought .at a cost of £7,900 and on July 16 it was sold by auction for £420.

The London Echo draws attention to the difference between the peerage and the aristocracy, a difference suggested by the recent creation of peers. It points to several untitled magnates who are essentially members of the aristocracy, and remarks, on the other hand, that such a man as Lord Cairns, although a member of the peerage, is not a member of the aristocracy, a distinction often lost sight of. One or two of the peers are even quite unknown to persons moving in wfi|t is called "high life."

In the gardens of a well-known nobleman's country seat in the south of Ireland painted boards were set up in different

A SHUFFLE IN STOCKS.

Jay Gould Pockets the Profits-No Trnth •In the Report That He Lost a Million and a Half.

NEW YORK, N. Y., August 4.—The stock market continues to exhibit all the artificial strength which the VanderbiltMorgan combination gave it in the begin ning of July.. The daily transactions last week were not as large as they had been the week previous, but the specu lative list has been steadily broadening in the sense that the advance is no longer limited to the leading stocks, and that three bankrupt concerns have had their securities marked up almost a6 fa^t as the solvent companies. That a responsible room trader takes hold of any wild-cat stock is enough to send it up four or five points in as many France had in the fifteenth century a law which gave a maiden thfi privilege of res cuing a criminal condemned to death by declaring at the foot of the scaffold her intention to marry him. Something sim ilar is going on just now with our bankrupt concerns, like the Erie, Denver and several others. Let any board room maiden come forward, and that is sufficient to stay the proceedings of the executioner. Certainly no one c^n want Denver or Erie stock yet the former has doubled in price dur ing the last three weeks, and the latter has nearly doubled. It was reported in the street in the beginning of last week that Gould was caught short of the market, was compelled to settle at a loss of million and a half and had since declared his resolve to join the bull-ranks. There was not a word of truth in this story, He and his brokers sold a pile of what is known as Gould specialties, and were talk ing in a very bearish tone. They still continue to sell all the market' will take, but they don't talk so bearish any longer, for they saw the board-room traders were making money out of this story of Gould being caught short. As for Jay Gould himself, he has neither done nor said anything for the last two weeks in Wall street. He is away on his yachting tour, admiring the rugged beau ties of'Mount Desert and enjoying the bracing air of Nova Scotia. According to the latest information he was to remain away a fortnight more, and his trusted lieutenant, Mr. W. E. Conner, was also to leave on Saturday, to be absent for several days.

Now that English papers containing comments upon the Vanderbilt-Morgan deals are coming to hand, we have an opportunity to see how the English financial world looks upon these deals and upon the advance in the stock list which has since been made. It appears that the view taken is by no means favorable, a that an opinion prevails that "deals befnroan Mi* Varwf*»i«V\51 on/1 \f«* Pz-tKovto

tween Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr. Roberts may increase their capacity of fighting others, but In no other way improve either the general condition of railway traffic or the paying capacity of their roads." The London Financial News says that Mr. Vanderbilt has once more "tempted providence by attempting to match his money againrt Mr. Gould's brain and to carry on a bull campaign by himself."

After giving an outline of the Vander-bilt-Morgan deal, the News says: "We are called upon.to throw up our hats and rejoice over a 20 cent rate, the mainter^ ance of which is impossible, and which, even if it were to be maintained, is not remunerative. The idea absurd to those who have long memories, or even to those who have any memory at all. It is just one of those stories which are started for purpose, and the absurdity of which, it is hoped*, may not be exposed until the purpose has been served."

Things must leally look funny to the foreign investors who are informed about the doings of our leading financier, when, for instance, they see Deacon White selling hid Lackaivanna down to 94 and quietly hinting to his friends to sell it short at that figure and then turning bull on it at nearly ten points higher. It was but a few weeks ago,when Lake Shore was selling at 55 that Mr. Vanderbilt expressed the opinion that a further liqui dation was inevitable. Yet the same Mr. Vanderbilt advises his friends at Saratoga hotels to buy all the Lake Shore they can at about seventy. Mr. Woerishoffer talked of New York Central, when it was ei hty-three, as a bottomless pit, yet he seems now to be a bull on the same stock at ninetyeight. Similiar somersaults have been performed by almost all our large operators, and tbe outside investor, whether domestic or "foreign, seeing that nothing has changed in the condition of trade must naturally come to the conclusion that the movement in the stock market is pure gambling, and that he has no business to join it.

Take, for instance, New York Central stock, and assume that everything projected in regard to its future is accomplished most successfully. What will be the result? To begin with, this company will increase its debt by $50,000,000 and its fixed charges by $2,000,000 a year. Then it will take not less than sir months to settle all the details ot the West Shore compact, and after that it will take at least a year to show the working effect of this compact upon the earnings of the New York Central. Assuming that

everything w!M go on in the smoothest and loveliest way, and that, at the end of eighteen months, a six per cent, dividend will be shown on pager or paid oat, is the stock worth ninety-nine to-day

WARD'S LIFE IN JAILJ

Tbe Influence of General Grant's Death on the Imprisoned Financier's Prospects. New York Special.

On the day of General Grant's death Ferdinand Ward purchased a number of portraits of the hero, and, assisted, by some of the officials of Ludlow street jail, placed them in conspicuous places about the building. He was evidently careful to let no expressions drop which might be taken as indications of what he was thinking. It was only by a few stray words that hie betrayed himself. One of his remarks was to the effect that the general's death was by far the greatest trial he had .been called upon to bear during his stay in Ludlow street jail. This is borne out by Ward's appearance since the event occured. He has become very thin and cadaverous, seldom appearing' in the yard of the jail, and appears to have no desire to enter into the few amusements provided.in the jail.

That Ward is getting ready for a vigorous defense is evidenced in many ways. It is said that he has until lately bron possessed of a large collection of dnmonds, but that lat ly he has disposed of then, and that he has began to economize 'many ways. He is reported as having said that General Grant's death and consequent inability to be present upon his trial would have a very adverse effect upon his prospects of acquittal, but with even this disadvantage he consideis himself able to clear himself. He says the public feeling is so Wrought up now in regard to anything that appertains to General Grant or ijis history, especially such parts of it as relate to his connection with the failure of Grant & Ward, that it is extremely improbable that the trial will be brought about during the term of the court of Oyer and Terminer, which begins in November.

Ward seldom speaks of these matters in places where he is likely to be oyerheard bv strangers. He conducts his affairs in a careful and business-like way. Nothing is slighted, nothing is huriied. A carriage is always standing at the door of the jail to be used in emergencies, and frequent telegrams and letters are received and dispatched during the day. Ward is always cool he has never been heard to elevate liis voice or show the smallest trace of emotion of any kind during his long stay in Ludlow street jail.

FLOURISHING A PISTOL COURT.

Mrs. Aggie Hill-Sharon Causes Another Sensation in San Francisco. SAN FBANCKCO, Cal., August 4.—The woman who "by j,race of the Superior court calls herself Mrs. William Sharon, wife of the millionaire ex-senator, created a sensation in the United States court building .yesterday. An examination was taking place before the master in chancery with closed dooj regarding certain documents in the celebrated di vorcecase. Ex-Senator William Stewart, counsel for Sharon, was conducting the examination when Mrs. Sharon suddenly opened a sachel, and, drawing therefrom a small revolver, flourished it over her head, exclaiming: "I'm bound to kill you some time, and I might as well doit now." Stewart immediately bounced into the corridor and ran to the United States marshal's office to have her arrested. Ex Judge Evans, another of Sharon's coun sel, appealed to the masterin chancery for protection of his confrere, when Sarah, HOW frantic with rage, presented the pistol at him, saving:' "Do you want to be killed too?" She was then disarmed by attaches of the .court, and made her escape before a deputy marshal reached the scene. No arrest has yet been made, but one is expected to-morrow. It is'the general impressionjthat the'recent decision of the supreme court granting a rehearing has made the woman desperate and partially insane, as she has recently & prowling .around Mr. Sharon's private office, and has even gone into the office and inquired for the senator. Mr. Sharon is at his country :eat at Belmont and is not likely to come to the city for the present.

The Davenport-Fisk-Dolora Row." Chicago News. Miss. Fanny Davenport and her huer band, Mr. Price, are reported to have quarreled over a paltry $5,000, which Fanny loaned to the editor of the New York Mirror

for

reasons best known to

the munificent lady herself. Jills said that Mr. Price found Miss fanif? ip tl}§ editor's office making the weather very sultry for the editor all on account of another fair actress—one-Selina Dolora— who happened to be engaging the editor's time and attention when Miss Fanny called. It appears to have been a lively matinee all around. Fanny wante4 tp lipk Selina, $nd J£r. Price was equally ambitions to Jick the editcr, but we are given to understand that no bones were broken and no hair was pulled out. The editor's name is Fiske, and, as we are informed, he has a wife who is tolerably high-spirited we are curious to know how she deported herself when she heard of the Davenport Fiske-Dolora imbrc»lio. Unless we do miafajsp thp lady, Mr. Fiske will hayp io seek q. higher latitude than Coney Island in' which to cool off. The trouble'which Miss Davenport is said to have had with her husband does not surprise us. Time makes things even there was bongf) tq he a retribution for wrong' committed when Fanny Davenport and price married some years ago.
