The township election to-morrow must not be forgotten^

ft This is not just the jight kind of April showers calculated to bring May flowers or spring trade.

Captain Eeichert's record in. the office of township trustee is unassailable. Indeed it has evoked the hearty commendation oi men of all parties.

Business men should not forget that Captain Reichert has been most judicious in handling the township funds during the two years of hard times that he has been in office.

Notwithstanding the obstruction to business caused by the strike, the clearing house statements for the large cities show again of 40 per cent, for the weeks of March over March, 1885.

Two years ago the democracy, through its organ, told lies about Captain Reichert on the eve of the election. This year th8 lies are being circulated quietly. His success two years ago and his record since are the best denials of them.

There is no longer any doubt that' the people of this state will continue to have the use of telephones. If the Bell goes out of the state some other company will tate its place. The thing to guard against in the meantime is the inconvenience of the public owing to any dog-in-the-manger conduct on the part of the Bell company. If it intends to continue in business that fact must be ascertained without delay, and the removal of telephones stopped. The city, through the council, has a right to act in that regard. The company has begun taking out telephones. The city can mike it begin taking down its poles, which are unsightly obstructions. The city councils in other cities have consid ered this matter, and the Terre Haute council should do so. t!

"Justice," without undertaking to show in what means it was done accuses the Express of misrepresenting him. In his communication published this morning he defends Jay. Gould. It is possible Jay Gonld is not as black as he is painted. At all events he stands before the coityttry as the representative of the cor rupt speculators who buy—or steal— railroads, buy legislative bodies and even the judiciary in their schemes to grow enormously rich fast. The Express does not offer this as an excuse for violent interference with the operation of a Jay Gould railroad, because such interference is wholly inexcusable in law or morals. The Express does point out the fact, how' ever, that Gouldism is the chief cause of these outbreaks and cannot consent to the idea that they arise from inherent deviltry in men who are receiving fair wages.

Justice Meech, of Chicago, who sued the Rev. Kittredge for libel, the clergyman having said in the pulpit that the justice befriended criminals, has been presented with a watch by his admiring friends. The newspapers got hold of the fact, and by the publicity they, gave to the affair, the justice has been compelled to hand the time-piece over to the state's attorney. The watch, it appear*, was stolen property. The spokesman on the occasion of the presentation has been arrested. When the watch was given to the justice he was handed a list of "admiring friends." There iB not a name on the list of a man whose reputation is better than that of a thief.

The exposure did not create much of a sensation in Chicago. The people there are getting used to this sort of thing among their officials. The reform that Chicago needs will not be brought about by a Sam Jones revival. The people of the city will have to turn out the rascals.

The high school question, as raised at Indianapolis, is pertinent to all cities. The Journal of that city has reached the correct solution of the question when it declares that the high school is super fluons. This conclusion of course does not imply that the high school performs no good service in the education of the youth it is rather a conclusion that the high school takes from the general fund for the public schools far more than its share, considering the number of students. Some yearn ago, when the graded schools were not np to

the present standard, there w*» gi«atei necessity for the high school. To-day it is

pet of educators not a consistent part of the public school system. Here in Terre Haute this troth is made more apparent than perhaps in any other city in the state. The salaries of the teachers in the graded schools have been scaled, and the city ran beyond the limit of in debtedness to allow those who are wrapped np in the pet to carry out their plans.

The O'Neil bill which was passed in the house yesterday is not likely in itself to be of any practical benefit in set' tling labor troubles. It is no doubt a step in the right direction, as any step mast be that looks to arbitration instead of strikes. There is no clause in the measure making arbitration compulsory and even if such a provision were constitutional it would be of no avail unless the relations between capital and labor were such

VOICE OF THE PEOPJ-E,

The Labor Question,

To the Editor of the Express.

The worst feature of this ill-advised strike is theimpotenoy of the constituted authorities and their apparent indifferenoe to" the appeals for relief from the communities whioh have suffered so mnoh from the acts of this organized mob. Instead of suppressing this insurrection at the earliest possible moment and restoring the traffio of the railroads, which it is their sworn dnty to do, the governors appear to be traveling around and going through the farce of trying to arbitrate what they appear to consider a little misunderstanding of the two'parties. With the same propriety might a policeman shirk his dnty, and offer to mediate between a highwayman and. his held-up victim. It shows that a republican form of government, if laxly administered, is the weakest government in existence, that officials are more influenoed by fears oi[ an adverse vote than by their oaths of office and that as long as we send politioal workers and bummers to congreej, the state legislature and the gubernatorial ahair, instead of statesmen, this state of things may be expected to last. JOTTICH.

Boston Record. Jay Gould'B idea of patting down a strike by oivil suits against the strikers is ingenious, bat lacks the element of practical cruelty whioh is asoally fondd in his scheme*. It will hardly scare anyone.

would result in voluntary arbitration. No procedure in arbitration can. be popular unless cheerfully and voluntarily accepted by both contending parties. This can be brought about only by afull recognition of the true relation between capital and labor, and can never come as long as such cranks as Irons issue proclamations that "labor is king," or the employer insists on his right to grind his employes down to barely living wages or import pauper labor. England has tried the compulsory system. Mr. JosePhl|p. missjo^er of Pennsylvania, reporting on his investigation of tbe subject Bays: "I found at the beginning of my inquiries that, though there were at least three laws on the statute books of England on this subject, they were virtually dead letters." So such laws would be here but the sentiment that will make arbitration possible is growing, and never so fast as at present, in consequence of the gtrike on the

SIB: I feel nnder obligations te the Express for affording a dissenter from its view upon the labor question an opportunity to appeal to that court of last resort, pnblie opinion, and although in its comments it misrepresents my language, I make no complaint as long as it permits me to use its colnmns.

I notioe that Mr. Gonld received the enstdntary and periodical castigation in this morn' inn's paper. In this respect he served "the same nsefnl purpose as a target for public execration that the deyil does for pnlpit homilies when other material is scaroe. He is like the bugaboo whioh weak mothers and nurses conjure np to keep troublesome children in subjection, and he is brought out on every occasion as an awful example of the depmvity inseparable from great wealth. For ejcample, Master Workman Irons in -his reply to Governor Ogleeby rang the changes on tbe iniquity of Jay Gopld, but had little or nothing to say abont the cause of the East St. Louis strike, or any grievances which the employes had against the railroads. The reason was that there were really no grievances to complain of, and he spoke his piece with the nsual allusions to Jay Gonld, the "monstrnm horrendom" of modern times.

The faot really is that if Mr. Gonld has been a deepoiler of any olass of men, it Is the stock and bondholders of some of the railroads whioh he has manipulated, and not the workingmen. I am told on good authority that better average wages are paid to the employes of the r«ads of the Missouri Paeifio system than on any running into St. Louis and it is an authenticated fact that the consolidation of isolated railroad companies into one system, nnder one management, has always resulted in better service and lower rates to the public at large. However this popular delusion in regard to Mr. Gonld will ran its coarse like the cholera or small pox, and die out in the course of time.

THE EXPRESS, fiEKitE HAUTE, SUNDAY, APftTL T, 188^.

TALK ABOUT TOWN.

Two UGLY MEN.—Mr. W. H. Floyd, the architect, formerly resided in Cumi. A writer in the New Harmony Register tells the following, which will be appreciated by Mr. Floyd's friends: "I see the Goldens sue again timing, and no doubt they will be gladly welcomed by our people. But, speaking of this troupe, every member of which is personally and favorably known to some one or more of our citizens, recalls a pleasant incident which occurred some time ago, when George W1

eav-

croft and Homer Floyd were 'B-age-struck,' and had organized oulocal 'Academy of Stars.' Wbeatc oft hailing from the pleasant and

classical

village of New Harmony, was fami

iar

witb «very member of the Golden troi

and was an ardent admirer of Hai Tfrhin«nn, the bright young comedian of that company. Wheatcroft was always eulogizing Robinson to floyd and was very desirous that his two chums should become personally acquainted. At last Robinson visited parmi $nd the long hoped for opportunity arrived. Floyd and Robinson were introduced in Wheatoroft'g own inimitable style and the convivial three proceeded to take in the town' in a manner entirely agreeable and familiar to each. "Robinson, like Floyd, was noted for his inordinate facial homeliness, and both he and Floyd the moment they were introduced seemed to notice the extreme ugliness of his new-found friend. FinalU Wheatcroft and Robinson because separated from Ifloy4 vfeen Robinson exclaimed, Jerusalem, Wheat! what an ugly man that is. I believe your chum is the ugliest cuss in Carmi.' Wheatcroft laughed the matter off and soon after found himself alone with Floyd, who at once eaid: 'Yfhf, Wheat, you miut have brought the ugliest man in New Harmony over.' Wheatcroft at once got the two together and told the private opinion of each. They both thought the affair a good joke bat each oi the twain thought the other far the ugliest."

SUING FOB DAMAGE#.—About a year ago George Groves, o/ Fayette township, took a trip west, and during his absence his creditors began numerous attachment suits.

They

him in a justice's court in that towhuhip, but before further proceedings were carried out Mr. Groves returned. He claimed that he went west to see the country, and had no intention of "skipping out," as his creditors claimed. He appealed the attachment suits Jto the Circuit court, employed Messrs. Far is & FTamill, and the court rendered a de cision in hiB favor, and now he has begun retaliation. Retaining Messrs Davis & Davis and Faris & Hamill he has begun a number of damage suits against his creditors. When- his creditors began the attachment suits they gave bond to Day Mr. Groves all damage that resulted from the prosecutson of the suits and now that he has defeated them in the Circuit court, Mr. Groves holds that he is entitled to damages according to the terms of the bonds. It cost him no end pf trouble and considerable money, and he holds that he should be compensated. He

entered the following suits in the

Superior court: Vs. Dennis A. Heam and John A. Funkhauser vs. Cbss. B. Smith and H. S. Smith vs. Addison L. Whitlock, John H. Morgan and W, A. Shores vs. Enos Strouse and AsaM. Black. He claims $2,000 damages in each case. It is stated that he will file suits against six or seven others.'

BUILDING AND LOAN WOBK.—Since the 1st of January twelve building and loan mortgages have been filed with the county recorder. These mortgages amount to $39,650. Thp placing of these mortgagee show that seventy-two people have drawn their savings from the associations and will use them to erect small homes or to pay ofi debts on hous& that have been erected. This number probably represents fifty new houses, and it is only the drawings the first quarter of the year, The next six months will see great activity in the associations, and undoubtedly $125,000 will be drawn out.

REFUSED Two THOUSAND DOLLABS, The frie ds of Mr. Geo. Paine, the Otter Creek township farmer who lost his house by fire, in which his daughter was burned to death, made up a purse for him to partially compensate him for the loss of his fine residence. Two thousand dollars were subscribed. When the subscription was presented, Mr. Paine thanked his neighbors, but refused the offer. He said he had enough property left to care for himaglf and family, and that the moner could be given to those who were_more

noedy

JHATSCHAD PENSION.—I see there is considerable talk abont the Shad pension claim," said the Hon. B. F. Havens to the reporter. "I can settle the controversy in a short time." "Yoa seem to be the man for the emergency." "I was spoken to about the matter,1 continuted Mr. Havens, "by several who held claims against Shad. I wrote to Colonel McLean, and he answered me that Shad's claim was disallowed."

THE NORMAL BOARD OF VISITORS.— Wednesday or Thursday the board of visitors of the State Normal will visit this city. The board is composed of State Superintendant Holcombe Super intendent Ernst, of Wells county, and Dr. W. T. Harris, of Concord, Mass. Mens. Holcombe and Ernst will be here, but Dr. Harris writes that he cannet be present. The board examines the school, and then makes a report to the governor on its condition.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West will be here the 17th and 18th of May. Charles Andeison has begun a suit for a divorce in tbe Circuit court from Cordelia Anderson. He alleges that she has abandoned him, and has treated him "in a very unlady-like manner."

The case of David N. Taylor, execulor, vs. Chas. Sparks occupied the attention of the Circuit court (Judge McNutt on the bench) until noon yesterday, when an adjournment was taken until Tuesday.

Samuel Ray was engaged unloading timber from a wagon on north Second street yesterday morning, when his team scared and ran away. The lumber was spattered, and the wagon slightly broken.

HUSTLER JOE.

I stood at eve, when the gas was lit, by the deor ot a cheap hotel Where a damsel lived who in wild burlesque used to do extremely well, Who lured men's oash from thkr pocket-books upon numerous wassail nights, Who seemed quite shabby in street attire, bat who looked "immense" in tUht*/

Yet a blossom I'll send to her today—not Jack roses that take our "dust," Not the Marechal Neil, whcee lofty prioe fills a man with deep disgust But a small, cheap bloesom that's low in price, whioh will do as well as not For a dry goods talesman's stipend small is the only cadi Fve got. v..*

In the summer when the meadows were aglow with blue and red, Joe, a Cincinnati drummer, and fair Annie

Bmythe were wed. simple reetanrant oashlsr was Annie you must know, While he was so scooessfnl that they called him "Hostler Joe."

Well, they settled down, and life for them ran very smoothly an, And there might have been no poem forte startle Washington, If on one day, while our Annie wiped the dinner dishes dry, A flashy-looking gentleman had by.

'Twas the same old wretched story that so many of us know Of a manager out looking for some talent for his show He offered Nan a salary to oome and do her best, And when Joe came home to supper—well, he found his wife non est.

A few months later, dropping in to witness a burlesque, Joe saw his ex-wife en the stage in raiment pictnreeque And, being ot a practical and unromantio sort, He said: "Come home, oh Annie, and your husband, dear, snppoit!"

Charles Godshaw, of Louisville, has invented a new bottle for beer, champagne, and other effervescent liquors, which he claims does away with extra fastening for the cork.

Tbe report for 1885, ot this cHy has iust bren published and furntocd much valuable Information lmprr:.-!t to all. The chief point In the tables of thi» re-, port I wish to direct attention to. Is th» fearful number of deaths caused by dis-* eases of the Throat and Lunys. flora than ftfty distinct maladies were concerned in causing this sacrifice nf human life, and yet nearly one-half the deaths were caused by disease of the throat and lungs. It means that every second or third person we meet In the streets of business and nlersure Is doomed to a premature death by diseases of throat and lungs. Some falling this year and some next and so on. Bach It me iesson taught by the experience of tbe past treatment. The stomach has been made the receptacle of medicine Inter i-d to act on the inner surf a'."-of the It. n»s, It. has been nanseated dem-—*a!|X'and paralyzed by'medicine uni:i It li:i« been rendered Incapable of doti.4 it nccu^sarywork digestion. 1 have si!" »n you fromi the reports of my patient^ quick inhalation produces a change for the better.
