Washington seems to be an objective point with democrats from iJhis part j)f the state. Some go there to get office, others to stay in office and still others to have those in office turned out.

We give space this morning to articles from Alexander Sullivan, John Finerty and others on tbe proposed inauguration of home rule in Ireland. They will be found particularly interesting as furnishing information not generally

The unseasonably mild weather is not limited to this locality. Bradstreet's weekly report shows that it has affected the holiday trade very generally throughout Che country. Yet the report also shows that the holiday trade is better than it has been for three years.

That is a new and queer story a Washington correspondent tells about Mr. Voorhees once calling Garfield to time witll the threat of a challenge to meet bim with pistols and coffee for two. Perhaps the most inconsistent feature of the story is the fact that it makes Mr. Voorhees, the soldiers' friend, appear as opposing legislation to help the soldier in his heroic efforts to put down the rebellion.

The talk in the English magistrate's office at the examination of the blackmailers would indicate that those concerned look upon tbe United States as a sort of a Botany Bay to which should be sent all bad men and people generally whose presence is not desirable in England. Of course this country is the haven of rest for the oppressed of all nations as our Fourth of July orators inform the world but there is such a thing as overdoing the haven of rest business.

The Express this morning furnishes the first publication of the official plat of the location of the electric lamps by which the city is to be lighted after February 1st. There will of course be much specu lation as to the efficiency of tbe service, bat the best thing is to wait and see the practical demonstration. There is the consoling thought that if the namber of lamps indicated in the list do not furnish as good light as the Qas company gave the city, the new company is compelled under its contract to put up enough more to do so.

The suicide of the young man at Effingham presents an unusual lesson to newly married people. It has generally been the complaint of parents that the daughter goes from them too willingly, and many fond fathers and loving mothers have been sorely hurt at heart by th« sudden and complete separation which followed the marriage of a daughter." Trne, the command is for the wife to cleave unto the hnsband, yet the par ents feel that there should remain with her a love for the hogje and undiminished affection for those who had watched over her all ker life np to the time she went from them to a home of her own.

The young woman in the story of the sad suicide told this morning's paper after short honeymoon absolutely declined to leave her parents and go with her husband to a home he had provided for her in another state. The report says he was a model young man, and it is to be inferred that the new wife had no other grounds for her refusal than her disinclination to be separated from her father and mother. Naturally he felt that his life was blighted, and it is not strange that despondency BO overcame him that he preferred death to living apart from the woman he had hoped to make happy.

In her years yet to come she will be afflicted with many sad reflections, none of which will cause her more poignant grief than the knowledge so tragically obtained that the man she bad sworn to love, honor and obey had so loved her that, lie chose death rather than live without her as his companion and helpmeet.

It has leaked out in spite of all efforts te suppress the information, that Mr. Morrison pronounced the Tilden letter apart of a gigantic job by the Tilden, ^Randall, Whitney, Barnum clique of railroad wreckers and Standard Oil schemers. Charles Nordhoff first telegraphed the comment to the New York Heralchas having been made by Senator Beck. He bad misunderstood his informant, Wattenon, and to relieve Beck, Watterson explained tv. Nordhoff that Morrison was the man who had expressed SHch an unfavorable opinion of the integrity of these distinguished democrats. Nordhoff made the correction, and now Watterson says th?t be didn't know Nordhoff would publish any

-of the conversation, as it was supposed to "have been confidential. But the cat is ont, and the chances are "Bill" Morrison remarked in his own peculiar way, to the Louisville editor, "Von 1% a sireol tf[ fellow, ain't jop"

Morrison gives 'making caustic remark* aboUt people and things, and has often lost friends by such acts as Wattenon performed in this instance. He and Land Commissioner Sparks tor a long time did not speak as they passed by because some one carried to tbe latter a remark tnade by tbe former when he was supposed to be dying in a Washington hotel. Both were members of the house at tbe tiibe. In tbe sick room were a half dozen Illinois congressmen, but Sparks not among them. They were as solemn looking as the occasion demanded. Morrison looked at them, then called Springer to his side and whispered: "You think I am dying if I do die don't let Bill Sparks pronounce a eulogy oyer me in the house."

Better judgment of a man never found expression than that which prompted this request. It was of the same sort of reasoning which led bim to tell Walterson that the Tilden crowd were scheming for a big job in building fortifications.

The attempt of tbe trade and- labor organizations in New York city to boycott the Fifth Avenue hotel will as a matter of course prove a failure, because it is carried to extremes.

The right of labor to organize and use its organized strength is beyond question it is in fact the duty of labor to do so as the ouly means of securing its just deserts. A well-organized trade union improves the quality of workmanship and protects the member from the constant effort of capital as the controlling power, to reduce his wages bfelow a fair recompense.

But there is a danger besetting tbe workingman from the presence in there associations of the crack-brained agitator who, as a rule, is the poorest workman of his class, and indeed as a general thing, is given to loafing more than working. Such men always prefer a strike or agitation to compromise or arbitration because in times of such excitement only can they achieve that notoriety which they naturally crave. They are the demagogues of the trades unions, and when they are permitted, as is too often the case, to lead their unions into such blunders as the Fifth Avenue boycott they invariably bring ridicule upon the movement and injury to the righteous cause of labor, because none bnt. demagogues will yield to a threat from demagogues. At a recent gathering of labor organizations in New York it was declared that boycotting as a weapon had been outrageously abused by the demagogues in their own ranks whose conception of the province of a labor organization is that labor and capital must be constantly arrayed in hostility and that any agreement means that labor is being imposed upon.

If the Fifth Avenue hotel contractors employed non-union painters to paint the hotel building union workmen have aright to withdraw their patronage and make public the request that their friends join them in: doing the same. But to threaten congressmen, senators and public men with adverse influences in their political future if they continue to be guests of this particular hotel is taking a ftep too far and as a matter of course reacts because there is an inherent detestation for tbe intimidator with all people.

The boycott is good thing when properly carried out. So is temperance, but the prohibitionists merely impede the progrets of the true temperance movement. The Irish dynamiter brought more oppression on Ireland. Parnell, who appeals to reason and fair dealing, has lifted the heavy hand of the oppressor and is on the eve of securing the great boon of home rule to his people. Extremes beget extremes, and when extreme measures are taken by labor capital is furnished the very good excuse it is always in search of to wage the war to the bitter end, knowing that the history of all~such conflicts has been that capital wins and is enabled to make more grinding its impositions on the vanquished.

Standing by itself this sum seems a very considerable sum but oold figuring shows it to be but one-half of 1 per cent of the great property. If Mr. Vanderbilt had followed the old rule of tithes in recognizing the claims of charity and beneyolen6e upon his estate, his publio bequests would have amounted to $20,000,000.

UKCLE DANIEL'S STORY.—The Mail of last evening says4 "Someone has written bow Oregon^ to this place as follows: 'In the National.Tribune there is a story entitled Uncle Daniel's Story, the scene of which is laid in Vigo county during the war. Uncle Daniel claims to have had seven sons in tbe Union aitny, all of whom were killed* and several wtre brought home to Vigo county ahd btiried at & place, he calls Alenton, a fictitious name, as is also his own, Daniel Lyon. Can yon inform me in regard to tbe truthfulness of the story?' There was an old gentleman who resided in Sugar Creek township during the war who had seven sons in the Union army, but they were not all killed. Probably this is the family referred to. Originally they were Vermonters and all were fine specimens of the men ot the Green Mountain state." The: old gentleman whom the^Mail probably refers to was Mr. E. Church. All of his sons were lucky enough- to come home. Three of them were wounded. One died -a few years ago from the effects of wounds received at Shiloh, but the others are all livivg, residing in various sections of the Union. Not one was ever taken prisoner, although the family was represented at Bull's Bun, Gettysburg, Anteitem, the Wilderness, Vicksbnrg, Shiloh, Corintb, Chickamauga, Murfreesboro, Nashville and Appomattox. Several of them won commissions. The old gentleman died several years ago.

FUTURE CANDIDATES.—A few days ago several gentlemen were discussing politics. Among them were Prosecutor Henry and Mr. David Taylor. "J want to make a prediction," said one of the crowd. "I predict that Taylor and Henry will be pitted agairat each other for prosecutor the next elec tion." Mr. Taylor blushed, which gave away tbe secret of his ambition. "Well, if we. are," said Mr. Taylor, "Dave and I'll get along well together. We'll get a team composed of a horse and a mule and make a canvass of the county." "Will the male represent the democracy, Taylor?" said a listener. "Well, if it does in my ca-e, I want to 6ay he'll be a mule that will pull, and he'll be A hard mule to ride." Taylor, passed the cigars, and the boys began to talk about deacons who attend minstrel shows.

BROWN'S CALF.—The story about Mr W. H. Brown and the calf has gone the rounds. It found its way into the organ of the expressmen, and since then Mr. Brown has received postal cards from Maine to California, asking about "that calf." Mr. Brown does not even at.this late day, get up and answer the telephone at night for fear that the words, "Have you found your calf?" will come floating over the wires. There is not a more persistent joker in town than Mr. Brown-, but it seems that for once the tables have been turned

RELIEVING THE POOR.—There is prob ably no city in the state where the worthy poor are looked after so well as in Terre Haute. The Ladies' Aid society finds plenty of work to do, and the members are as busy as last winter. At this time last winter the oity was greatly agitated in regard to the sufferings of the poor. Efforts- were being made to open a soup house, establish a stone yard, and mass meetings were held at the court house. As good work as was done last winter is going on, but in a more quiet manne. ,t -THE NEW SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY.—The Vigo County Scientific Association was o:ganized Friday night at the Normal building. Professor Jenkins, ot the Normal, was elected president Dr. E. E. Glover, vice-president Professor Coulter, of Coates college, recording secretary Professor Waldo, of the Polytechnic, finan cial secretary, and Dr. John B. Crapo, treasurer. A constitution and by-laws were adopted. The association starts with about twenty charter members.

CORONER VS. COMMISSIONERS.—Tbe fight between the eoroner and the county commissioners promises to be quite entertaining. Tbe coroner claims that he has aright to determine when it is necessary to hold an inquest, and the commission ers claim that they have a right to de termine, and whether the bill shonld be paid. The coroner has bronght suit, and the matter is in the courts.

HARMON.—Prosecutor Henry has received a letter from Dr.* Fletcher, of the insane asylum in regard to Harmon, the slayer of Carpenter, who was adjudged insane. Dr. Fletcher promises to exercise vigilence, and to ascertain if possi ble if Harmon is sane or feigning insan ity. _j 1

UNLICENSED LIQUOR DEALERS.—The grand jury is investigating the unlicensed liquor dealers. It is rumored that number of indictments will be returned.

THE AUTUMNAL AIR-BATH.

Yes, air-bath is the proper tram even to the etymological epicure, lor, after all, the atmosphere is a fluid differing from water only, or rather chiefly, in the matter of density.

Practically We swim in the air as tbe fishes swim in water. Or more accurately, take, very short Sights in it, from toot to foot "as we step, as winged creatures take the longer flights. But this isn't the point—in fact is a thousand miles from it.

How shall we protect ourselves against the vast fall( of temperature which occurs in winter? The answer of modern civilization is, in houses with thick walls and furnaces and horribly deficient ventilation—impossible of any soit of adequate ventilation in fact, and numerous layers of woolens or silkB or furs df^osed upon the body according to the dictates of fashion.

Philosophers have in all ages whistled against the wind. And even I expect no better luck than that which fell to tbe Athenian sages in their day. Nevertheless I shall inquire if it may not be worth while to consider a few questions, in view of the fact that aU the expedients of modem civilization and modern science have done very litle to lessen the number and fatality of the winter diseases at eur latitude. first let me see how we set about preparing ourselves against the temperatuiefall of an ordinary winter.

The fiery furnace and the base burner with closed doors and closed windows constitute the indoor preparation. These have been,p alread, sufficiently discussed to be thoroughly misunderstood. And they hardly come within the province of this article save in a single point of view —and I shall advert to that presently.

Second, the "winter clothing" which has in modern times become a business, an art and a science at one fell swoop. What is the object? To keep the wearer warm. How does it operate? By relax* ing the heat of the skin—by preventing rapid radiation of tbe heat of the body from the skin,

The above are the stereotyped Questions and answers in vogue in btit day. Anybody can aBk tbem. Anybody can answer them sub mado. And they aie, doubtless highly satisfactory to the devotees of ehe business and art and science aforesaid. But let us see, O, Democritus, how well these sayings may hold under a sort of ECiptiny—cynical perhaps but not without a certain bold, frigid and withering applicability.

The retention of the heat of the body at the skin by means of the superposition of non-conductors of heat as woolens and silks and furs, means super-heating of the skin. Doesn't it? Super heating of the skin naturally includes and involves increased growth and activity of superficial structures—such as the capillaries and nerves of the skin. This greater growth and activity means yes, means greater sensibility of the skin. Greater sensibility! Mark it O, Democritus 1 The measures adopted by modern physi ological science produce a super-sensi-tiveness of the skin!

Is that super-sensitivenes3 what we wanted In order to protect us from "cold," is it philosophic to make us simply more sensitive to the cold Let us wad a fairly to our chins in the current of this question, Democritus. And if it prove a vanity and a vexation of spirit, ve will abjure it and tbe business, the art and the science altogether!

The base-burner and furnace, we will say, have accomplished their fell purpose. The air of the alleged home is heated to seventy degrees. Let us assume that a Dakotian blizzard is holding high carnival outside, and that various thermometers approach an agreement which indicates minus twenty for the outside air. Imagine the many millions of denizens of the north-temperate zone diving out of the base-burner air bath plus seventy, into the blizzard air bath of minus twenty! A little difilerence of ninety degrees at a lick, at a jump, you observe, Democritus!

After that, ran you wonder at the coughs, the colds, the pleurisys, the lung fevers, the rneumatisms, the neuralgias, the—but hold! I might put all the ills that flesh is heir to, in this category, and still be able to say in the language of the poet, "To be continued in our next!"

But what of tbe autumnal air-bath, perhaps you venture to ask. Let us talk about it a little.

You observe, Ob, Democritus, that Mother Nature goes about Iter preparations differently from the methods indicated in the business, art and science above alluded to. Slowly she proceeds to strip herself! Maik me! I am not using words of whose meaning I am unaware. She proceeds to strip herself, then. The vast mantle of her summer green frets and flutters away in tbe autumn winds. The leaves and grasses shrivel and shrink and are whirled away into dus*', leaving the brown breast of Mother Earth bare to the winds and the snows. Let us take this maple tree, Democritus! Let us see, if we can, how the antumnal air-baib serves this tree. This tree, which, after all, is not so unlike the human creature in some of its internal economies.

Some months ago if yon had cut off a tip of yon twig, the blood of the maple would have 'wet the blade of your ugly and merciless knife. Now you may cut down deep beneath the skin of the Maple's finger, and no blood will flow. What has made such a change in the circulation of the tree? I answer, the autumnal air-bath. Gradually and gradually—a little cooler and a little cooler tbe air has grown. Gradually Mother Nature has stripped herself for the bath. Gradually and gradually the skin of the maple has come to hold less and less of the vital fluid—the blood of the tree. And so at last it is only flowing deep in toward 4he heart—far enough away from the skin that a sudden plunge from the plus seventy degrees of the base-burner air, into the minns twenty of the blizzard air would scarcely make it shiver.

But suppose- Mother Nature to have been only a Mother Goose, and to have clad this maple in thick woolens and surrounded it with a base burner temperature of plus seventy degrees as the winter came ou. And then suppose that the maple had in the midst of a blizzard stepped ont of the plus seventy degrees into the minus twenty! Wouldn't we all join in saying we told you so? Lung fever of course! And when is the fnneral to be?

Another example is that stnbby geranium whose clubbed branches always make me think that geraniums are addicted to having "run-arounds" and "felons" on their fingers. Standing back in the corner as it does, suppose yon in

advertently leave the hall door open for ten minutes dnrinaf a Dakotian buzzard. The temperature of minns twenty degrees and pins eighty degrees say, is pins forty degrees—or forty degrees of a fall— and the geranium climbs the golden stair —probably without tbe aid of a felon clubbed fingers.

What happens tq the maple and.tbe geranium may happen to man. Does happen to him in fact as I maintain and as anybody may prove by making the ultimate test.

Bnt enough. How shall we amend our methods, you ssk. I poibt inexorably to nature and say: "Like her you mnst one and all strip for the autumnal air-bath. Nature will have no trifling. Cheat yourself with no vain imaginings that yon can defeat the rigors of our climate by making a tropics—a base-burner tropics of home. Nature smites hard the trifier and the evader. You must even accept her decree and take daily the air-bath-colder and colder each day, on even down into the middle of the minus twenty, and below. Two, three or even fonr bours out into the open air—and every day. Nature will have no absentees.

Points About Umbrellas. "Yon never see a man buy a goldhandled umbrella," remarked a clerk in a gentleman's furnishing goods store to a Philadelphia Press reporter. "That is, yon never see a man buy one for his own use. They buy them for women. That's the reason we don't keep a large stock of gold-handled. Most men carry umbrellas like they carry canes. A woman doesn't often catch hold of the handle, even When sbe has the nmbrella raised. When it is closed she carries it undsr her arm, fen*, if the handle is gold, she' wants to show it to all her friends as she goes along the street." "Do men usually buy expensive umbrellas?" "Noonly the young swells. A cotton umbrella—there's one for ninety centsis good enough for most men. Pve seen men worth a million buy that sort of umbrellas. They lose them as fast ES they get them. They say a man's known by the umbrella he carries, but that's only one of our trade gags it isn't so.".

J. Albert Williams, M.D. M. M. M. and S. S.

Graduate from two of the best medical colleges in this country, attendant of Bellvue hospital, Blaokwell Island hospital, Woman hos pitol and out-door poor department New York city late physician to the Detroit Head, Throat and Lung institute, has opened a permanent office opposite postoffice, on Sixth street, Terre Haute, for the euro of all the various diseases of the head, throat, cheet and diseases of woman, old and young. In the treatment of catarrh, throat diseases, asthma, bronchitis and consumption and loss of voice, we adopt the most improved system ot inhalation and other appliances which being the remedies into direct contact with the organs diseased. It is reliable, certain, direct and permanent in its effects. It is conceded by all to be the only system by which those diseases can be cured. No other system of practice has ever cured in the past by dosing the stomach and I cannot believe it will enre in the future. A single application gives immediate comfort and relieves at onoe the most painful symptoms I care not how bad you are suffering. A single application will convince the most skeptical that this is tbe true mode of treatment. •••••.

Try Our Treatment

Improvement is seen and felt from the first day of treatment in every case.

That loathsome and disgusting malady with its multiplicity of. symptom. A few of the symptoms: Constant blowing the nose, hawking and spitting, rasping the throat, and wind' pipe to get rid of mucus, sucking and drawing down the palate to get rid of muens from the palate and nose, voice muffled and assumes a nasal character, always complaining of cold in the head, the breath tainted, in some assumes a slcKening ordor, often prevents young people from society, paia between the eyes, the stomach and blood suffers from swallowing the mucus from the throat and nose which runs down while you are sleeping, appetite poor in the morning. There is no disease that so feeds lung trouble as catarrh of which catarrh alone is the exciting cause. Unless you get rid of the diseased condition of your throat and catarrh, your lungs will soon be come afflicted. In every case of catarrh a cure is warranted. In consequence of the many professional humbugs passing through the' country under the name of doctors, I have concluded to give consultation and examination free.- Thousands of testimonials at the office.
