Your Uncle Sammy Tilden is not accustomed to being snubbed by democratic leaders. He has heretofore done all the snubbing himself.

There has been an election in Kentucky and the democratic majority was 67,507. The total vote polled was,no doubt, in the neighborhood of 68,000.

Cincinnati gave a presentation of Pinafore on a vessel in the zoological garden lake. Straightway Chicago rigged up a floating gambling hell. Thus the two cities enjoy their pet amusements, music and gambling.

The demoralization- in the police department is becoming too serious for the police board to longer postpone taking some action to eradicate the evils which have brought about the present condition of things.

It is an interesting fact that party quarrels in New York are nearly always caused by a presidents asking a party leader in that state to name the men for the custom house appointments—and then appointing other men than those re

O'Donovan Rossa has broken out again. He wants "several simultaneous" dynamite explosions in England "forthwith," and reminds his agents that they have "plenty of oatmeal and want to use it." What a pity it is that the Dudley woman was not abetter shot.

The Indianapolis Times says: The Times learns from an authentic source that General Lew Wallace has read the proof sheets of that part of General Grant's book relating to the battle of Shilob, and that his explanation in regard to General Wallace's part in that battle ia entirely satisfactory and even complimentary.

The "fair sex" have begun the silly raving ovei Maxwell at St. Louis. If he does go to the gallows it is now rumored that his pathway will be covered with flowers. By the way, can any one give the cause of this singular fact that womankind raves over a murderer?

Jrtdge Mack doesn't- think school teachers work very hard for a living. Perhaps that is the reason the school board reduced their salaries, and that the fact the board is riding a hobby in the shape of a costly high 'school building had nothing to do with the reduction.

The Crawfordsville Journal says the complaint comes from every quarter of the state that Senator Voorhees is looking after the Eighth district to the neglect of other districts in the state in the matter of appointments, and that "the Eighth district bourbons complain that he is forgetful of everybody except the prescribed limits of Terre Haute."

Says the Boston Journal: In one New England state the keepers of four rum shops have been .appointed to the railway postal service, and one man who is nnder indictment as a second in a prize fight is a postal clerk.

This is the sort of administration that is calculated to convince a mugwump that he has thrown himself away without suf ficient cause.

Mullen, the Cincinnati police lieutenant, who was pardoned out of the penitentiary a few weeks ago by the presi dent, was. a delegate in the recent Ohio democratic state convention. The "other reasons," which the president did not name in the pardon, now begin to be apparent. The democratic party can not afford to have its best workers locked up during a political campaign.

The capture and identification of Maxwell, the St. Louis murderer, was wholly the work of the newspapers, and again disproves the foolish .claim so often set up by the astute detectives Who go about looking wise on a small amount of information, that publicity must be avoided in the work of tracing criminate. Time and again newspaper publicity has led to a capture when the police were on the hunt in an opposite direction, following one of their "clues." The dispftches from England say the re publication in the*English newspapers of the descrip-i tions of Maxwell brought about his identification as Hugh Brooks.

Secretary Lamar is said to be relapsing into the habit of -Absent-mindedness, which was- so strongly characteristic of him when he was in the senate. The heads of bureaus in the interior department are much exercised about his neglect of business, by which the affairs of the department are getting into a bad shape. Lamar has always been a great student and theorist, and is not fitted for an executive office.' But the new broom is worn down so that no one now expects "business" administration. With La--mar in Washington day-dreaming and nearl^ all of the other members of the cabinet junketing about the country there is not much to be hoped for in the way of a gTeat "reform."

Tne Soliciting Committee for the 31st Regiment Reunion will begin a ^canvass of the city to-day for funds to assist in entertaining the survivors of this old regiment in which so many of our- citizens had friends and relatives during the 'Three hundred dollars is all that

Twenty times the amount will be ex-If5 pended in the city, during the reunion, as a large number of the friends of the regiment in this and the adjoining counties will attend. It is also hoped subscribers will pay the solicitors, if convenient, when called on, as the committee of arrangements desire to arrange for purchasing articles needed this week. It is to be a free, social aflair, and all visitors and friends will be welcome. Captain A. C. Ford Vill act as treasurer, with whom all funds collected will he deposited.

The Chicago News commented severely on the eflort of the ex-confederates, at the recent reunion in Texas, to link Jeff Davis' name with that of General Grant in patriotism. The News has been anything but a bloody shirt organ, and had many subscribers in the south. Some of these have been "stopping their paper" and "writing to the editor." The News publishes samples of these letters, which, considered in connection with'the occasion for their being written, give a good idea of the prevailing sentiment in this matter in the south. One writer refers to the magnanimous action of Jeff Davis in writing a letter of sympathy to General Grant. He also fails to see any distinction between the war of independence and the war of the rebellion, holding that George Washington would have been called a traitor as Davis is now if England had overcome his armies. The fact that Washington was engaged in a war for liberty and that the south was engaged in a war for slavery does not occur to the correspondent that the attitude of Washington should not be considered in the same light that advancing civilization looks back upon the selfish treason of JefFDavis.

Another correspondent writes from Clarendon, Arkansas as follows: In an editorial in the issne of Aagnst 18 jrou condemn Judge Reagan's eulogy upen the character of Jeff Davis and brand the southern president as a traitor. That is a falsehood, and you knew at the time you so stated it that it was untrue. Northern republicans and carpet baggers need not attempt to make the southern people lose sight of the Hon. Jefferson Davis in the hollow demonstrations over General Grant. Grant was a good Christian gentleman, and so regarded by the south bnt the southern people have never recognized him as their conqaerer. The southern people are entirely free and have never knowh a conqaerer. It is true that the household altars of onr people were desecrated by a few men like Grant and Sherman, bnt that was not warfare it was only a species of vandalism and incendiarism.

The Crawfordsville Journal finds the cause for "the great depression in all the business matters of the country" in the lack of confidence "in the ability ef the democratic party to manage the financial affairs of the' government." The Journal asserts an accepted truth when it says that party does not now contain and never did contain the best business ability in the country. The Journal continues as .follows:

Instead of trying to devise some policy for the administration of our public affairs that will give assurance to the business men of the country, the whole time of the president and his cabinet is occupied in hunting for "offensive partisans," and turning them out of office, merely to make places for hungrier partisans. And right here is a fact which has shaken the faith of the people in Mr. Cleveland's administration. He and his partisans made great promisee of improvement in the civil service. But where are the improvements? Look over the list and see where they are. Will the dismissal of Charlie Holstein and the appointment of John E. Lamb tend to improve the administration of justice In the Federal oonrts? How many instances can be found where abetter man has been appointed to fill the place of the one dismissed? Is Jones abetter postmaster than a Wildman? Is Tom Hanlon abetter man than Major Carter? Look all around and then say, if you cato, that the civil service is being improved. There has been no factions opposition to Mr. Cleveland's administration, but its course has been such as to destroy the confidence- of the people in his ability, or rather the ability of his party to manage the great affairs of the country with the success that has attended the management of public affairs for twenty-four years' preceding the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland.

The country to-day is drifting along like a great Bhip without a captain or a pilot, taking its chances in the Storms and whirlpools. Confidence will not return to cheer the hearts of the people till they see a captain on board with compass and chart, and know to -what port he is intending to sail. Tho people on board are looking [to their life-preservers rather than to planning and preparing for business enterprises.. The ntmost that any business man is now hoping for is that ho may keep his head above water till "something turns up," and jnst what that something may be no one pretends to be able to say.

TALK ABOUT TOWN*

CHARGED WITH STEALING PIGEONS.— Numerous complaints have been made to the polite of late in regard to boys stealing pigeons. Sunday the police made a descent on the supposed thieves, capturing Scott Burton, Arthur Scott, James McBride, Harry Stevens and Robert Baker, boys. Some of the pigeons were recovered. Stevens is out on a ticket of leave from the Plaipfield reform school, and will probably be returned there. Arthur Scott was released, as his father is blind and needs him to lead him around. The boys sold the pigeons to sportsmen for matching purposes.

The boys were brought before Judge Mack yesterday, who gave tllem a lecture and released them. The relatives of the boys went to see the judge Snnday- evening. Eicli claimed that his kinsman was .innocent, and that the others were the bad boys. The judge said he believed the school board and teachers were responsible for a great deal .of the meanness committed by boys. Boys were allowed to run at large for three months in the year, to enable teachers to take a vacation and go to the mountains. "The teachers," said the judge, "become greatly worn out teaching five and a half bonis a day for five days a Week, and about thirty-six or thirty-eight weeks in a year."

JOE DAVIS.—The Park county people are just now proud of Joe Davis, the celebrated trotting horse. Well they may be, for Joe is destined to be among the fast ones and may yet be able to 'trot by the side of Maud S. The horse was bred and reared in Paris, 111., by Mr. I. N. Shepherd. rDr. Herr" was his sire. His sire is of good blood, but has no extraordinary record as a trotter. Mr. Shepherd sold Joe Davis to Mr. Cummins, of Eockvilie, who retains an interest in the animal with Mr. George Grimes, ot Eockvilie, his driver. The horse began to show extraordinary speed about a year ago. His latest victory is the winning of the $10,000 purse at Hartford, Conn. There were nine horses in the race, and seven heats were necessary to decide it, Joe winning the first, second and the seventh heats. His time in two heats was 2 18J and 2:19, and his driver claims that he can make a mile in 2:15. He has won over $12,000 this year, which is good for a horse only seven years old. Mr. Grimes was in the city yesterday on his way home from Hartford.

BROKEN ins PLEDGE.—Little Wesley Weathers, the lilliputian pauper, recently abandoned the poor farm and came to the city, having confidence that he was fully able to make an abundant and honorable living. He has heretofore been in the habit of occasionally taking "one small beer," but even this modest allowance he fore&wore when he made his last advent here from the poor house. But Little Wesley, like other weak mortality, has finally fallen a victim to a sinful appetite, and yesterday afternoon was found lying in a heap on the sidewalk near Staub's stable. Wesley was, to all intents and purposes, dead, and as Officer Butler .took his inanimate little form up to his embrace and deposited it gently in the patrol wagon, Wesley murmered softly— "plant me deep, boys bury me at the distillery." "DETAILED"—Dr. Stunkard is the owner of a fine water spaniel, with a pedigree so long that it can boast of Mr. Wm. Schaal's "Fadny" for a grandmoth er. Last Sunday the dog was on the Van bridge and switched its tail under the wheels of a railway train. It was a beau tiful tail, with two kinks, but it came to grief, the wheels cutting it off about an inch from the body. The animal was taken home, and the doctor summoned another doctor and a veterenarian. The stump of a tail was amputated, and dressed, and at last accounts the animal was doing well. The doctor values the dog at $75.

THE BAND TotJBNAMEirr.-^The tournament to be held Saturday Sunday and Monday next, will undoubtedly prove the finest affair of the kind given this year. Among the bands to be present is Goodman's band, of Decatur, 111. This organization is said to be the best equipped band in the west, numbering nineteen pieces. The Franklin (Ind.) Band of twenty-two pieces,, with their lady cornet soloist, Miss Alice Cheatam will be present, as also many other firstclass bands. Hulman's Park is being especially prepared for the occasion.

ANTON HULMAN'S TRIP—Mr. Anton Hulman arrived yesterday afternoon from Indianapolis after a long and trdi bus bicycle tour to Lake Maxinkuckee arid to points east of the state capital He left Indianapolis yesterday morning on his wheel but four miles out his vehicle became broken and he was obliged to walk back to Indianapolis and come here by rail. Since hfe left Terre Haute two weeks ago last Sunday morning he has traveled on his bicycle, the neat distance of 532 miles.

IN A BAD CONDITION.—Crawford street has been recently graded for some considerable distance this side of the limits, and property holders in that vicinity are complaining that several deep and dangerous holes have been left. It is said a team was driven into one of

No MONEY IN IT,—"The monied depression of the times," said City Marshal Morrison, yesterday, "can be felt in more than one way.

Times are, indeed, hard."

The purpose of this order, it is believed, is to force into circulation the standard silver dollars, of which there were in the vaults in this city the beginning of the present fiscal year, Juiy 1st, $3,029,002. The order further requires that all one and two dollar notes hereafter received shall also be sent to Washington. The amount of those bills now on hand will reach $10,000.

One curious revelation of the last census was the growth of the female population of the large cities. It was shown that New York contains about 25,000 more women than men Boston has a surplus of 13,000women in Baltimore there are 17,000 more women than men, and so on in several others of the large eastern cities. Fifty years ago it was the men who came to the cities to pursue their careers, while the women stayed at home but more recently, women, both in this country and in Europe, have been crowding to the business centers.

BLACKMAIL. Jv

The Scheme That is being Worked in Evansvllle and Tlncenses—The Law. Inasmuch as it has been stated the scheme is to be tried in this city, the fol lowing from the Evansville Journal will be of interest:

It is reported through the city that, short time ago, two or more persons came to this city from Chicago for the purpose of blackmailing many of our best and most respected citizens, by threatening them falsely, with printed exposure oil immoral conduct in this community, unless a small consideration is given to them for silence. It is also remembered that these blackmailing .parties are aided aud abetted in these foul acts by parties here, and even by some of the city officers.' As these scoundrels are too cowardly to steal and rob our citizens by night, they now have recourse to these foul and disgrace ful means toextort money from them, and to disturb the peace and to poison the moral atmosphere of this community by these threatened obscene and vulgar publications.

About a week ago they sent postal cards to many of our leading citizens, which had written on them— Mr.—— "Your name will appear on the list."

Again, a few days ago, they sent out to the same and other citizens the following letter, to-wit:

EVAKSVXIXE, August 18, 1885,

"Mr. "Your name will appear in that list. For a small consideration it can bo- kept out. Ar-

rangement can be made with our agent in the future. Respectfully, "THE PTOIilSHEB."

It will be seen that these scoundrels failed to Bign. any of their cards and letters, for fear of prosecution from the injured parties, and for fear of subjecting themselves to the penalties of the follow ing criminal laws of the state of Indiana

PENALTIES.

The law of blackmailing in Indiana, section 1926, Revised Statutes of 1881: "Whoever, either verbady or by any letter or writing or any written or printed communication, demands of any person, with menaces of personal injury, any chattel, money, or other valuable security or whoever accuses or threatens to accnse, or knowingly sends or delivers any letter or writings or written or printed communication", with or without a name subscribed thereto, or signed with a fictitious name, or with any letter, mark or designation, accusing or threatening to accuse any person of any crime punishable by law, or of any immoral conduct,which, if true, would tend to degrade and disgrace such person, or' in any way to subject him to the ridicnle or contempt of society, or to do aby injury to the person or property of any one, with the intent to extort or gain from such person any chattel, money, or valuable security, or any pecuniary advantage, whatsoever, or with intent to compcl the person threatened to do any act against his will, with the intent aforesaid, is guilty of blackmailing, and shall, on conviction thereof, be imprisoned in the state prison for not more than one year, to which niay be added a fine not exceeding thousand dollars."

The Revised Statutes of 1881, Sec. 1788, also declares against aiders and abettors of any crime, as follows: "Every person who shall aid or abet in the commission of any felony, or who shall counsel, encourage, hire, command or otherprqeure such felony to be committed, be derated -an accessory before the fact, and may be tried and convicted in the same manner as if he werea principal, If and upon such conviction he shall suffer the same punishment and penalties as are prescribed by aw for the punishment of the principal." Yincepnee Sun.

Postal cards addressed to a number of well known young men about town have been coming to this postoffice, during the past day or two, bearing the simple announcement: $ "WILL BE THERE."

From the fact that they are mailed at

reference to the recent alleged canvass of this,eity tor the names of young men who visit houses of ill repute or places of assignation, and that this announcement is simply preliminary to an arrangement which is" to follow for carrying out the blackmailing scheme.

One who has watched the aflair from its inception, that is, from its first appearance in print, suggests that it is a huge joke concocted b} a bright mind in one of the three cities concerned, and aided by one of equal brilliance in each of the other two, Indeed, the prime movers in the affair at Terre Haute and in this city are named, and.the bold manner in which the onslaught has been made in the Ohio river town would seem to be in confirmation ot this suspicion. If this theory is correct, we are moved to remark that the very acme of jesting has been reached.

Reunion of Old Soldiers jjf^

Hutsonville Tribnne. jSJ The old soldiers of southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana will go into camp at Hutsonville on the 2d of September and remain three days. This is to be -the largest reunion ever held in this part of the country. Good speakers will be present each day.* One of the most interesting features ef the soldiers' renniori 'wtll be the massing of troops on gun-bnals and passing by the "Forts of Vicksburg." This representation of one of the greatest sieges ot the rebellion will be enacted with all the life and vim of an actual conflict under fire of heavy cannonading, and on the evening of the 4th of September will end in the final capture of forts, the evacuation and unconditional surrender cf the entire men and arms. 1
