The theatrical season oppns very generally in the country this week. There is undoubtedly an effort on the part of those who cater to the patrons of the theaters to provide a better class of entertainments than have been put before the people during the pa-t two or three seasons, and judging from the list of attractions thus far engaged for this city, our people will be given the full benefit of this welcome change.

The immigration statistics show a heavy falling off thus far this year. This has been particularly true as to immigration, from

Ireland and Italy. The Germans are coming to our shores in about as large numbers as last year and the immigration from Scandinavia has increased, a most-encouraging fact as there is no more desirable immigration than that which brings these hard working, healthy people to the newer portions of the country*

The Sullivan Democrat said that nothing was heard of democratic dissatisfaction in this district through "democratic channels." The following is from the Vincennes News, a plain spoken, free trade, democratic paper:

It begins to look as if Senator Toorhees were etirriDg up ahornel's nest inthiB state by his appointments. His boosting of Lamb into the United States marehalship, and his action in regard to the appointments under Collector Hanlon, to say nothing of his treatment of his friends at Evansville, are becoming subjects of caustic comment.

When Thoman left the judgeship in Ohio to which the democracy had elevated him he was "flatbroke"and worse. He has been on the civil service commission only a few years and is now said to be wealthy. Perhaps if ho were a republican we would find no suoh pleasant paragraphs about him as the one in The Courier.—[Terre Haute Express.

Judge Thomau inherited his property from his wife. The Express is mistaken about his having been "flat broke." He fetarted iff life in that condition, but has always been thrifty and saving and very, very "near."—[Evansville Courier.

But he is not a married man and never was—to speak of.

It is suggested that the primal cause of the quarreling among the police officials is that there are too many of them. There are ten men about headquarters for less than twenty-one patrolmen. There is superintendent, captain, two seargants a day clerk, a night clerk, a day man and a night man to drive the patrol wagon and a day man and a night man to go out with the wagon. In Evansville they have more patrolmen than we have here and not one half the number of men about headquarters. There the chief is supposed to be able to do his own "clerking," that is write letters.

There could not be a better argument in favor of arbitration in labor disputes than is afforded in the present triangular dispute among the nailers, feeders and their employes. From the beginning of the strike each side has been convinced that unfair statements are made to the public, showing that unless the statement is as the particular faction wishes it to be made, that it is therefore unjust. In other words each man thinks the only fair statement is the one that presents his views. The necessity for an outside party, disconnected with the business, is apparent So it is in nearly all strikes. Morer over the loss to employer and employe consequent upon a strike should suggest the wisdom of reaching a settlement of the dispute, that must inevitably come at the end of every strike.

First Controller Durham," who has disallowed the expense bill for the court of Alabama claims, has thrown a boomerang. Each and every item in that bill was pre sen ted to the democratic appropriation committee, of which Randall was chairman and Watch-Dog Holman a member, and by that committee reported to the house, and there passed by a democratic majority. There may be extravagance in the bill, but, if so, the appropriation committee could have prevented the waste. Among the items is $8 a month for a scrub-woman. This calls to mind that when Durham was in the Fortyfourth congress the only thing he ever did to gain him national distinction was to wash his feet in the stationary washstand in the appropriation committee room, where Joe Blackburn was at the time entertaining a few fiiends with a champagne lunch.

There is a vacancy in a consulship that one would not think would be easily filled, but no doubt some hungry man will want the place. Charles H. Davis, who lias been consul at St. Paul du Loaiida, on the west coast of Africa, is on his way home, only too glad to get back alive. The story of his experience is told as follows: He was -appointed a little over a year ago. Notwithstanding the salary is only $1,000 per annum there were six other competitors for the place. He writes that the cost of transportation for himself, wife and one child was $750. His wife was taken sick with African fever immediately upon arrival. Through the aid of friends and the sjde of personal effects he was enabled to send her back to the United State* Mr. Davis*himself was then stricken down with the fever, and remained ill for a long time. An American man-of-war which happened to enter the port took him to'^a and saved his life. He returned to his post only to be a second time attacked. As soon as he was able to travel he boarded an English sailing vessel and went to Liverpool, where he is still confined to his room, and from which point his resignation is dated. He was appointed fourteen months ago, and according to his own /statement within that

period has expended for traveling expenses and doctors' bills $2,000. ...... fiSSg*

THE NOBMAL.—The improvements on the Normal building are being pushed rapidly to completion. The stairway leading to the roof is completed, and those desiring a fine view of the city can have it. At present the roof of the Normal is the highest accessible point in the city. The new heating apparatus will soon be completed. Workmen are engaged putting down stone curbing on the street sides of the building, which is a great improvement over the wooden curbing. The trustees will probably meet next week.

•THE CONFERENCE.

The Committee Work Still Going On— Bishop Campbell.

The A. M. E. conference was restricted almost exclusively tccommittee work yesterday. The report of the committee on districts caused considerable discussion. Some of the ministers were opposed to small circuits. One minister declared there was not a. circuit in Indiana thai was paying a living salary. The ministers were compelled to go half paid SUM} half fed. W* "i

Bishop Campbell was in favor of small circuits. A minister cannot do good work where he has four or five stations. "He will spend a week at one fooling around, ana the tiext week .at another place fooling around, and will do the same at another place the next week, and so on. By the time he gets back to where ed the had a preacher,

ONE OF BEECHER'S JUDGES.

A Congregational Minister Resigns and Exploits His Disbelief. STRBATOR,111., August 29.—The bril

liant but somewhat erratic, career of the Rev. J. H. Shay, pastor of the First Congregational church of this city, will close next Sunday. Mr. Shay has recently tmnounced that in consequence of a growing but radical change of opinion in matters theological he can not longer remain the representative of any religious body professing the evangelical faith, and will not consent again to be the preacher or pastor of any church. His congregation has issued a statement expressing intense admiration of Mr. Shay, appreciation of bis labors and of the sentiments which compel

«s one of the two clergymen whom Illinois sent to the ecclesiastical council which tried the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in Brooklyn. He was bord in Buffalo, and is 40 years old. When he entered the army at the outbreak of the rebellion he was so illiterate that he could not write his own name on the muster roll. Subsequently he obtained an education and .became a Congregational minister. His orthodoxy was first questioned in 1875, and upon an examination of his views, he became dissatisfied with his position and began the practice of law. He returned to the ministry two years later, coming to Streator for the second time, but his views finally led

to a trial. for heresy, and he was dropped from the roll of the Central Association of Congregational ministers. His church, however, stood by him, and he leaves of his own accord. Mr. Shay believes, among other things, that the ministerial office is not one of God's appointment that Christ was "nearer to divinity than other mortals" that there is a God, though all that may be predicated concerning Him "lacks the essential proof," and that the bible is a "record ofl God's thoughts anfi ways in so far as it is a record of the results of man's application of the powers^ under his control.

Trance-Stricken Camp Meeting Converts. ANDERSON, lnd., August 29.—The An

derson circuit camp meeting, which convened August 20th, eight miles north of Anderson, is still in siession and constantly growing in interest. Dr. Robinson, of Indianapolis, is now in charge ®f the meeting. The number of conversions to date is seventy-five, many of whom are children under 12 years of age. Two lady residents of Anderson passed into the trance state at the meeting last night, and upon their regaining consciousness made some strange revelations as to the sights they .saw, claiming to have seen God upon the great white throne, and also to have visited hell, where they saw many fam iliar faces. The audience last Sabbath was estimated at 3,000, persons, and no less than 10,000 is expected next Sunday The meeting will continue two weeks.

"NEW YORK POLITICS.

Hill and Kvarts Regarded as the Leading Candidates for Governor. NEW YORK, N. Y., August 29.—The

democratic and republican candidates for governor of New York will stand before the people in just four weeks, and at this moment neither party has the faintest idea of the name of their man.

The proceedings of the republican committee were harmonious enough, but it was the harmony of defeat. Mr. Evarts was the man most talked about, and the chances are that he will be asked to run, but whether he will accept is question not settled, because Mr. Evarts steadily refused to talk about the matter. It is understood that should he be nomin a ted and elected, he would be presented as the most available rejftiblican candi date for president in 1888. But the same element that opposed Mr. Blaine last fall is said* to be ready to oppose his agent, Mr. Evarts, this coming fall.

Levi P. Morton is not deemed an available man in any sense, save his ability to largely contribute to the campaign fund.

There area number of the democratic leaders in different portions of the state who think that the party should in all justice nominate Governor Hill! They say that his democracy cannot be doubted and that he has proved faithful to the party, and that in these days a man who has been honored by a high office and does not forget the party which elevated him should be rewarded instead of being set aside. There is no doubt that Gover nor Hill has now the lead in the race for the nomination. While Governor Hill may now have the strongest following against any one man ^ho has been mentioned as a candidate, it is thought that his strength will diminish rather than increase by the time the convention meets. It will be a formidable field of candidates that will be pitted against him—Ex-Mayor Edward Cooper, Roswell P. Flower, Gen. Slocum, Abram S. Hewitt Erastus Corning, Homer A. Nelson, Daniel Lockwood, and Judge Pratt. The friends of Governor Hill fear ex-Mayor Cooper more than any other candidate who has been talked of. If the Hill people should at the last moment see that they had no ahance of nominating their favorite, they might put Cooper's friends in rather an uncomfortable position for voting for Mr. Hewitt.

Whining Keiley.

Indianapolis News,

Minister Keiley, or ex-Minister Keiley, or just plain Mr. Keiley, or simply Keiley for short, seeing that there is deubt whether he ever was minister or not, is home from wandering on a foreign strand, and thus delivered himself:

He muBt be "small potatoes and few in a hill," if by relinquishing the attorneyship of a city and selling his books and ms house he is "broken up root and branch." Why? He has been enjoying his trip to Europe at the public expense. He is liberally allowed for traveling to and from his accredited place, and his salary advanced besides. Is it. then, losing his ttomeyship that strands him? Indianapolis has a city attorney, not supposed to be a great man like Keiley, and yet wtire he to resign his place he could step into a comfortable law practice, which hir acquaintance and ability would bring himTls Keiley of so little intrinsic worth that he can't support himself, and must either have a city office or a government office or be "broken up root and branch?"

A Big State.

Merchant Traveller.

Several traveling men were talking about railroads and the number of states passed through by various lines between eastern and western points. "I've gone from New York to Chicago and passed through t& states," said one. "Yes, but you went a 'roundabout way. I've done it and only touched five," said another.

Two or three more made their state men ts, and then a hard-looking politician put in. "Ugh," he' grunted, "you fellows haven't had any experience at all. I went from Louisville to Washington once, and back, and was in only one state on the whole trip." "Rats!" shouted the crowd. "We know geography better than that. You could not do it." "I did, all the same.""Name the state there ain't one in the Union that big," urged the crowd. "Ain't thjere?" he sasd, with a wink. "What's the matter with a beastly state of intoxication? Who said let's lickor?"

They all said "licker."

He Escaped the Fate of his Tobacco Box.' Bichmond State.

Over a year ago a sailor belonging to an English vessel at Port Royal, Jamaica, disappeared and a few days afterward a shark was caught with his tobacco box in his stomach. It was sent to his wife as an incontrovertible witness of his horrible end, and she mourned over it until he dropped in to see her the-other day. He had deserted, he explained, and had lost his box overboard in getting into the boat to go ashore.
