If congress decides to let in those three enthusiastic northwest territories, they should first be required to quit sending blizzards across the continent.

The Indianapolis News of last evening says the Hon. John G. New has announced that under no circumstances will be again accept the position of chairman of the Republican State Central Committee.

There can be nothing asked of Ohio that would be more pleasing to the rest of the country than that she regulate her own affairs in accordance with law and order in politics before trying to take charge of the federal government.

Some of the coal oil gang, drugged Col. Sim Donavin in Washington the other night and tried to rob him of important papers bearing on the alleged bribery of Ohio legislators. This is on a par with the conduct of the state senators who broke up the state senate the other

day"

It is claimed that an agreement has been arrived at in "Washington by which Dakota, Montana and Washington Territory will be admitted into the Union. Dakota has more population than Montana and Washington Territory combined and twice as large as possessed by any state when created. Tet because there iB fear of one politicel party gaining an advantage the provisions of the constitution are not obeyed, except by making a compromise by which some political ambition is gratified.

It is one of the strong probabilities that Bland, of Missouri, will develop streDgth as a candidate for the presidency. Upon the overshadowing question of the silver coinage he is the acknowledged leader on the floor of the house.—fEvansvilla Courier.

The Courier must be mistaken in its man. Bland? Why, Bland is the congressman who introduced Senator John P. Jones' bill in the house, thus giving his name to the dollar, and has ever since sat at his desk, looking wise and saying nothing.

Or, perhaps the Courier is joking.

John L. Sullivan knocked out two men last week. He drew bigger houses in Boston than Barrett did, and the actor is the intellectual pet of the Hub. Straightway the latter took to his bed, and is reported to be very sick. The other one was a partner in the minstrel company in which Sullivan "poses." This gentleman retired from the firm, and gives his reason: "We made money as long as John kept straight," said he, "but lately he drank a great deal and business dropped off. Just think of him drunk as Ajaz defying the lightning." And juBt think of a drunken Ajajc drawing larger houses in Boston than the student actor!

A writer in the Saturday Mail tells of the duplicity of two candidates for county offices in this county. The story is true. Both men were over-anxious before the election in 1884 to conciliate the workingmen and willingly signed pledges which they broke as soon as opportunity offered. It will be remembered that John J. Cooper ran ahead of his ticket when elected Secretary of state the same year. This was very largely owing to the active opposition of the workingmen to Ehody Shields, the republican candidate, who was charged with helping the Western Union Telegraph company at the time 0/ the operators' strike. Since the election Cooper is credited with saying trades unions could go to the bow-wows, or words to that effect.

The moral to be pointed in these cases is that the workingman's greatest enemy is the demagogue who makes use of his vote. The loud mouthed champion of labor generally gets his living by the activity of his tongue and the sweat of other men's brows. There are true friends of labor in whom implicit faith can be placed, but they are not found on street corners, noi do they go about effusively professing their friendship and signing pledges. It would occur to many persons that the man whose loyalty to the cause of the workingman is so much in doubt that a signed pledge of faithfulness is required of him, is about the kind of a man who wonld bxeak such a pledge.

Extremists, as usual, are monopolizing public attention in the discussion of the silver question. The unlimited coinage advocates are calling ail who disagree with them conspirators and "gold bugs," and the monometallicta are trying to establish a title to such description. The monometallists, with accustomed shortsightedness, have been doing that which, when exposed, weakens their position before the {ulblic, because it savors of trickery and sharp practice. A few days ago it was telegraphed over the country that the German finance minister had said Germany would permanently maintain the gold standard. This information came to this country through English

The German minister

news channels.

said nothing of the kind. In fact, said the government was ready, at any time, to consider the feasibility of bimetallism, and said this in recognition of the growing demand in that country for the double standard.

The question of monetary standard in this country is not to be wisely settled by the dictates of the silver mine owners nor by the eastern money lenders. Statesmanship which will take into considertion the interests of the people in general must be summoned to the task, prospect is that coigress will do nothing this winter affecting the silver coinage because of the clash between the extremes and in dlfe time the people will see that reasonable and just middle ground on which legislation may be wisely based. The need of international agreement is undoubted except by the silver mine owners, who will be impatient at the attempt to restrict the coinage of the dollar pend ing suclragreement. It is equally true that public sentiment will not again permit, clandestinely or otherwise, the perm«nent demonetization of the silver dollar.

It is well to bear in mind the main point involved in the irregular proceedings by which Ohio now has two senates. The occasion for the split was a proposition to investigate the right of four Hamilton county senators to seats in the senate, the certificates being issued by reason of outrageous frauds in Cincinnati—frauds so barefaced that every democratic newspaper in the country except the Cincinnati Enquirer has denounced them. The immediate cause of the disruption of the senate was the ruling of Lieutenant Governor Kennedy, the presiding officer, that these four sitting senators could not vote on a proposition affecting their title to seats in the senate. Including these four the democrats had 20 votes, and the republicans 17. For several days previous the democrats had prevented the adoption of the resolution ordering the investigation, using dilatory and extreme tactics to do it. When, therefore, the presiding officer ruled against them on a vital point, in which ruling he is supported by Cushing's manual and by Cooley on "Constitutional limitations," as well as by the common sense view that it would be manifestly unfair that those whose seats were under contest should be allowed to vote on a question concerning such contest—then the democrats resorted to the revolutionary proceeding of breaking up the senate. ZJt

There may. aud probably Will, arise many fine poinis of parliamentary law in settling the difficulty and there will be more or less confusion in the public mind as to the merits of the controversy, but it should not hide the fact that by brazen and admitted fraud, such as has characterized democratic politics- in all the large cities, four men were given seats in the senate. That body has the right-to investigate and pass upon the title of its own members, and when this right was about to be enforced the democrats set up a "rump" senate.

The postmaster-general whose only rival as a proclaimer of civil service reform virtues is his chief some time ago announced that there would be no changes in the railway postal service on partisan grounds. Like his worthy chief he has been industriously giving the lie to his promises by his acts. At Indian' apolis Saturday there were a number of summary removals to make room for ward strikers, among whom is one, Bar ney Conroy, who has a record. The In dianapdlis Journal shows that he has served two terms in the penitentiary and that when not in prison he has been engaged in lawlessness of one kind or another.

What the pcBtmaster general will do in the case is not yet known, but judging from his treatment of the charges against Dowling, also appointed to the postal service from Indianapolis, he will do nothing farther than offer an apology for Conroy and keep him in his place. Dowling, who was a councilman, had professed thst he had bribed other councilmen. Proof of the bribery was laid before the postmaster general, and the latter finds that Dowling wss only guilty of "indiscreet speech" Yet it was shown to Mr. Vilas that Dowling had deolined giving evidence to the grand jury on the ground that he would criminate himself. When the charges were preferred against Dowling the postmaster general said it would be unfair to consider them unless Dowling were given an opportunity to explain, a privilege denied all republicans turned out on secret information.

Hurrah for Dowling, Conroy and Reform, and three times three for Vilas, the feather-weight of the administration.

New England is very much exercised over the president's extension of the fisheries treaty at the request of the British minister, Mr. West. It was an unfair treaty in the beginning and under its operations the American fishing interest hasHwindled while Canadian fleets increase in number at a rapid rate. Beyond the fact that the president exceeded the execative authority in entering into treaty relations with a foreign power without the "advice and consent of the senate" there is in his action the shameful admission that his course was suggest'ed, mapped out for him, by Mr. West, rather than by those whose interests should have been consulted. The aspect presented by the joyful utterances of the Canadian press over gaining an advantage of the American fishermen while New Eegland people who furnish the money and men for the American fleets are deploring the president's too ready acquiescence in the schemes of foreigners, is very humiliating to say the least.

The New York Sun, while mildly apologizing for the administration, thus re fers to the case:

Those free trade journals in the United States which are helping Canada and minister West to urge upon this country another bad bargain, persist in treating the subject as though all the blue water between Gulf stream and Bhore were part of the British realm.

No doubt the administration thought that it was securing valuable privileges for flor fishermen when it entered' into this omngment which Mr. West eo kindly suggested. Nobody supposes that Secretary Bayard or Mr. Cleve

land desired to betray American interests or to build up the Canadian fishing fleets further at the expense of our own. It rests with congress to correct the mistake that was committed by the state department, as we believe, with the very best intentions. The mistake can be corrected by letting the matter alone—by taking no step toward another international commission and another bad bargain with Canada.

Whose advice should congress take? The advice of the British minister and of the Canadian press, or the advice of the fishermen of Massachusetts and Mainet It is very clear that the British minister and the Canadian newspapers arc eager to renew, if possible, an arrangement under which the Dominion quadrupled its fishing fieee while ours dwindled. It is eaually clear that American interests do not yearn for any more benefits of that sort.

It is a plain business question. Shall we renew a bargain which we have discovered to be bad, merely because the other party has "found it profitable and wants it renewed?

Street Begging. V'1

To the Editor of the Exprees. Sm: Of all street beggars it may be said that they are either deserving of helporfhey are not. If they are really needy and deserv ing it is a great wrong to themselves and a diegrace to any Christian community that they' should be compelled to earn their living by! begging from honse to house. Some adequate' provision shonld be made for tbeir care. If they are undeserving then it is still clearer that they shonld not be allowed to beg fr»m, house to honse, for street begging is not only a nuisance, but it is very demoralising to the community. In the old world, or in the large' cities of this country, where street begging has been allowed, beggars have always inoroaaed: in proportion to the laxity of public sentiment and the laws relating to this, practice, until, in some cities of Italy, and of Bgypt» about as many of the poor live by begging as by work.

Bat what proportion of street beggars are found to be worthy of heir.. In New lork city Edward Ciardi, a special officcer for sup. pressing street begging, during the month of November, 1882, dealt with eighty-one outcasts in his district. His investigation showed that of these fourteen had ample means, twenty-five were shiftless and idle, thirty-five were dissolute and vioions, and only seven needy and worthy. In December the same offider dealt with seventy-five other cases. Of these nineteen had ample means, twenty-two were shiftless and idle, thirty-two were dissolute and vicious, while only two were needy and worthy. This is probably the ratio of the worthy and unworthy in all cities in this country, where charity organization sooieties exist for systematically relieving the worthy poor.

It is said that street beggriiig in this city which was almost suppressed a year or two ago is now .again on the increase. This is the

TGT

B' It of an indiscriminate giving of alms without careful investigation. Many are not yet aware that there is, in this city, such an agency as the Charity Organization society whose business it is to carefully scrutinize the claim ofeach applicant for help, and to relieve all that are worthy of it. But it if to be feared that many who do know of this agenoy allow their impnlsee to get the better of their judgment, and are imposed upon by those who say that they have already made application to the society without receiving aid. Of all such beggars it may be confidently said that either they have never applied to the society for help, or, that, npyn examination, they have been found to be unworthy of help. It is believed that, so far, the society has been able, in.some way, to afford relief to every deserving applicant. It relieves some directly out of its own scanty means, by loans, gifts or shelter at its Friendly Inn. Provision is made for some at the hospital. Homes in the country or in the various asylumns are found for many of the children. Some are directed where they can find labor. Some are referred to the township trustee who is always ready to aid? on the recommendation of the society. Some are sent to our most excellent county farm, while others are relieved by private individuals, the various church organizations and a large number by the Ladies Aid sooiety. In a city like this where there are so many .benevolently disposed persons,'and so many charities, there is no excuse for street begging. If all our citizens will take the trouble of sending every street beggar to Mr. B. E. Lock wood, whose office is in room 6, with Mayor Eelsem, in the city bnilding, South Fourth street, each case will be carefully investigated, help given where it is deserved and street begging would be suppressed almost entirely in a few months.

IN-

Addttlonal Evidence Taken—The Coroner's Verdict. The coroner's inquest in the case of the death of Zerelda Christenberry, the little girl killed by being run Fover at the Fourth street crossing of the Vandalia, was continued yesterday by the examination of Mr. W. G. Whittenburg, who was on the train at the time of the accident His testimony was as follows: "I was on the train about eight cars back from the engine at the time of the accident. I heard loud screaming. I looked over the edge of the flat-car on which I was riding and saw two little girls running toward Fourth Street. I looked over still farther and noticed a child under the third car from the engine. None bf the crew of the train were friends of mine. I was not acquainted with them. I have been a railroader and worked for various railroad companies. I was railroading about five years. At present lam in the employ of Mr. Fisher, on the river, and am working at pile driving."

Following Mr. Wittenburg's testimony the coroner 'filed his verdict in the case with the'circnitcleik. It was that "Zerelda Christenbei ry came to her death from injuries accidentally received from being run over by an engine of the Evansville and Terre Haute railway company on the Vandalia track."

the

The Jug-Hand led Order Regarding Police Entering Saloons. The board of police commissioners held their regular monthly meeting at the mayy's office yesterday forenoon,all mem' bers present. Messrs. Coffin and Finkbiner, re-elected by the council, stated that they had filed the required bond and taken the oath of office. On motion of Mr. Brinkman Mr. Finkbiner was re-elected secretary for the ensuing year.

The superintendent's report for Janu ary showed 260 arrests, 142 runs by the patrol wagon, and $36.19 stable expenses, There were 366 vacant houses reported during the month, $102.30 worth of property stolen and $49.80 recovered. Bills were allowed as follows: Jack Bupp $6 00 Moore & Langen 1 00 Bauermeister & Busch .16 47

A bill was read from Mr. Eppert, the photographer, for $7 for taking pictures of criminals. Two dollars of the Dill was contracted before the present system was inauguanted. The bill caused considerable discussion, and was referred to a committee composed of Messrs Coffin and Olift. The superintendent's report stated that an order had been issued forbidding patrolmen to enter saloons unless they were called in in the discharge of their duties. Mr. Finkbiner was of the opinion that the order was a little severe, especially on cold nights. He could not see what harm there would be in a patrolman entering a saloon, providing he did not loaf there. Superintendent Lawlor said that was the orderr in large cities. Mr. Brinkman was in favor of standing by the order. Mr. Finkbiner wanted to know if it applied to officers. Mr. Brinkman said he thought it did not An officer of the force had to enter saloons on many occasions, searching for criminals, etc. Mr. Clift wanted to know if the superintendent got very dry occasionally. It was agreed to le£ the order stand, and that it applies to patrolmen only. A patrolman could enter if following a suspicious character, or a person who is liable to create a disturbance.

One model presented has a string attached at one end which passes over three sides ef the box. It is held in position simply by the paper pasted over it. A slight pull tears the cover and opens the end, when the cartridges can drop into the slide unhampered.

Ther never wuz sich work dun fur a candidate afore. Our nominee fur congris got us together, and he ashoored US that we shood immejitly hev the theree' principle offises in the deestrik, and more, that ther would be enuff noo offisea created to satisfy every dimocrat in the village. In the Cross Bo ads f'rinstance, ther is 254 dimocrats, and we kalkilated that three uv us wood be made postmaster, collector uv revenoo and uv customs, and that you wood recommend the appointment uv 251 deppities to serve ontil we cood git bills thro congris slack-watrin Seceshn crik, and bildin a noo postoffis and custom huse, when we cood immejitiy let up on the deppities, ez all uv us wood hev contrax on these public works.

It wuz with this prospeck in vew that we labered ez men. never labored to sekoor yoor eleckshun. We garded the poles zelusely that no nigger shood vote fur Blaine, nay, more, we didn't permit white Bepublikins to vote, ceptin theni wich wuz dangerus and woodent stand no nonsense. We raised money to send Kentuckians into Injeany to make shoor uv yoor carryin that state, and we never gave over our efforts till victory wuz ashoored.

What hez happened I A disgustin nigger, appinted by the goriller, Linkin, originelly, still holds the postoffis, and Pollock and Bigler (which is pizen) are still collectors. Biaconi is well-nigh bankrupt. He is still pouring out whiskey to the faithful, on tick, and it hez gone to that point wber he feels that he will hev to employ a perfeshnel bookkeeper to keep the run ov his biznis.

The prinsible offises are stilt in the hands ov our enemies, and ther isn't a dimekrat at the Corners in any posishen where theft is possible. The Corners is, therefore bankrupt

What I want to know is, are you a dimekrat or ain't yoo? "The voice is the voice uv Jaoob, but the hands is the hands uv Esaw." Yoo are labeled dimekrat, but wat yoo are doin is republikin. Yoo wuz elected by dimekrats, but yoo are playin into the hands ov the radikals. Yoo wuz elected to bust the tariff, but yoo are favorin perteckshun. You wuz electid to keep the silver dollar down to a spekilatin pint, but you recommend makin it wuth a honest dollar. In breef, yoo wuz elected &s a dimekrat, and yoo are administerin the government ez a republikin.

It is possible that the dimocratic party wantid medicin. What I want to know is, are yoo giving us puke or phisic? We feel that yoo are givin us both, and we are sweatin under it.

We hev a rite to demand that all this nonsense ceeses and to wunst. It makes us tired to see the rapublikins go about smilin, and we with our faces ez long ez a mule's. It is disheartnin for one wich hez wasted 24 years to git into a place, to hev to see republikins sittin at the receet uv custom, and we walkin on our upper leather outside. We hed dreemed uv eese in easy chares in the government offises, and nites uv delite in Bascom's, payin for our -likker like men. We demand that them dreems be realized we demand that we shel reseeve wat we worked fur. We demand that we shel not be compelled to turn somersets in older to git wat blongs to us. It may be easy enuff fur yoo to be a republikin, but we can't. I mite hev changed thirty-five years ago without much trouble, but not now. I mite change, but Deekin Pogram can't The good deekin hez a shotgun which will cock itself and go off at a nigger, from sheer foise uv habit. He wood knaw the republikin tikket even if he wuz blind and I hed given it to him. He is dyed in the wool, and change is impossible. When it cum to reedin yoor message to him I didn't dare to reed the wun voo rote. I 'hunted up an old one uv Bookanon's and red that to him ez yoorn, and the good old man went home and slept sounder than he hed for weeks.

Why trifle with sich dimocrats? Why outrage ther feelins? It is crooelty wich Berg wood take cognizance uv ef we wuz dum beests, wich I eumtimes think we are.

Will yoo reform this thing, or are we to go on this haltin way? Are we to wonder thro a dreery Sahara till we sink egghausted, or are we to finelly see an nnflia afore ns? It is fur you to say. We await your decishun with feverish impashence.

office opposite pos offi.ee, on South Sixth street, Terre Haute, Ind., for the purpose -. of treating a'l di'euses of the Head, Throat and Chent, vW:'

Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, CONSUMPTION, and all terms of LUNG DISEASES. —l«o diseases of women. We adopt the most improved system of INHALATION and ther appliances, which bring the remedies into direct contact with the organs diseased. A singlfc apfiliance gives immediate comfort and reieves at once the most distressing and psinful symptoms.

Catarrh of the head and throat permanently cured. Pain In the Head and Face removed by one application.

Consumption, first and second stages, permanently cured. Pain in the Chest removed by one application*

Tolee restored—made clear and strong. Discharges from the Ears in Children and Adults from any cause, removed and hearing restored.

Inhalation, which is now conceded by all to be the only system by whioh these diseases can be cured. There is a cure for any and all affections of theHead. Throat, and Lungs. A enrfc that may be safely relied npon with all confidence and hope it is reliable, certain, direot and permanent in its effects, fn this manner we have treated the most obstinate oases with complete success, after all other at- ,: tempts have failed. No other system of practice has ever cured in the past by dosing the stonfach and I cannot nelleve it will cure in the future,

A single application will convince the most skeptical that this is the only method of treating those diseases. Kx-
