THURSDAY, APEIL 15, 1886.

There is no longer room for doubt that spring is really here. The cyclone has arrived and with terribly fatal effect.

If these cyclones are owing to the spots on the sun, it is the duty of congress to appoint a committee of investigation, and, if need be, rub off the spots.

Perhaps the Central Union Telephone company will not leave the state. Between the company and the subscribers some agreement ought to be made by which we will not be deprived of the telephone.

Mr. Green of North Carolina is a humorist and doesn't know it. In a speech advocating the unseating of Romeis in favor of Hurd, he "denounced the reptab lican side of the house for deciding election cases on party grounds."

Mr. Beecher is "hedging again," this time oh politics. Added years of wisdom caused him to hedge on the labor question, and now, like a man who learns by experience, he is very certain that the democratic party is an ass—a doubleeared ass.

George Q. Cannon, the real head and front of the mormon conspiracy, has forfeited his bail—$35,000. It is a good round sum, it is true, but George Q. is a good round, plethoric polygamist, whose aldermanic physique would look exceedingly well in stripes, besides the moral effect that would be secured by his incarceration for along term of years.

Some astute correspondent at Washington has discovered that the Oklahoma bill as agreed upon by a house committee is a piece of congressional—stock ex chane jobbery. The funny feature of this astounding declaration is that the correspondent has been a dozen years discovering the fact. The Oklahoma bills ir congress, and the Payne "boomer" move ments like the land grant forfeiture schemes have been Wall street foot balls for, lo, these many years.

There is much ^likelihood of truth in the statement that the Mexican government has entered into a contract with the Chinese importation companies of San Frahcisco for the delivery of 600,000 Chinese at the Pacific ports of Mexico. That government has always invited Chinese immigration. Yet that fact does not argue against their exclusion from this country any more than does the fact that Mexico is an older country than this argue that it iB fa ther advanced in civilization.

It is reported from Washington that the democratic leaders in the house regret their impulsive action in ordering an investigation of the railroad strike. The resolution was put through because it was thought that an investigation would please the laboring element in the country. The more sagacious politcians see that they have invited a serious political result. They realize that unless the party goes into the investigation in the same demagoguical spirit that actuated their Lawlor (saloon-keeper) and O'Neil (base-ballist) in the Committee on Labor—that is a general hurrah against capital—that they are likely to wind up the matter by displeaeing everybody. In other words, the investigation must be a judicial affair or a foreordained clap-trap report end its labors. If the latter, they will be the laughing stock of the country. The truth is, congress can do little toward settling labor qudttions. The unwritten laws of intelligent public opinion alone can affect the relations of capital and labor in this countiy.

DeWitt Talmage, who has reached that position before the public where he does not have to besiege newspaper offices to have his utterances printed, says: "One of the great trials of this newspaper profession is the fact that they are compelled to see more of the shams of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office, day by day, go the weaknesses of the world, the vanities that want to be puffed, the revenge* that want to be wreaked, all the mistakes that want to be corrected, all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent, etc., etc.

Mr. Talmage is right. He tells what is not known to the general public, because it is only once in a great while that a newspaper "exposes these shams, as did the Chicago Tribune one day this week, as follows:'

If the Tribune had omitted several columns of news and telegrams to make room {or the verbose lubrications'of the Rev. W. H. Salter, we fanoy that extremely ethical and cultured philosopher would view the course of this paper on the eight-hour question in quite a different light. It is right the publio should know that the name of Salter has for ae time been aronnd the Tribune office the synonym for boredom. It has not been the fault of Salter that he has failed to address the readers of the Tribune once a week at the length of a oohunn or more during the last year. His last contribution was rejected yesterday week, and his first pob-

'MM

lie oa the Tribune, veiled tinder the thin gauze of i"* disinterested love few the worlriogmen, followed five days later. There ought to be no mistake about this: Salter, through his next friend, was distinctly invited in writine, Tuesday last, to take his contributions elsewhere than to the Tribune office, and Saturday buret forth in public invective against the newspaper which had rejected his addressee.

Maiiual training in the public schools is aUrsctirg the attention of the press and educators of the country. In Chicago -the members of tLe school board are practically unanimous in flvor of introducing it. The Chicago Tribune says:

The education of the hand and eye must keep pace with the education of the mind. They must be aids to each other. Industrial training of some sort in our schools is a necessity. The apprentice system is dead. No American-born boy who is not the son or other relative of a trades-unionist can now become a mechanic ^1"" through the aid of some such system of industrial education as is pursued in the Chicago Manual Training school. Besides, in-moat trades, owing to the extent to which division of labor has been carried, four or five years Bpent at an apprenticeship, as was the custom of tweJj and thirty years ago, is a waste of time. If boys learn the use of tools and the principles of mechanics, and acquire some little skill in applying these principles during their schooldays, they readily become profioient in the work assigned to them afterwards in shops and factories. It is not necessary to learn ill the details of a trade. For these and other reasons the disappearance of the apprentice system is not so great an evil as it is held to be. Should mammal training be generally adopted, as now seems altogether probable, few will regret its decadcnce and hardly any will suffer theieby.

The only opponents which the manual training system seems to have nowadays are the school teachers—the narrowest people in the community, the prohibitionists not excepted. They are afraid its introduction into the public schools will interfere with their routine book studies, and that it may eive them a little more to do. The experience so far has been that it does not. Prof. McAllister, superintendent of the Philadelphia publio schools, a broadgaged man, asserts that manual training aids mental development, and Dr. H. H. Belfiold, director of the Manual Training school in this city, who was principal of one of the public high schools here foit many years, indorsee Prof. McAllister's statement. After three vears's experience with the "new education" he is able to meet the objections of the public school teachers to the introduction of industrial training.

Lecture by Prof. Parsons. By invitation of the Vincent Chautauqua circle President Parsons, of the Normal school, delivered a lecture on- English Literature, which for beauty of language and depth*of thought cannot be surpassed. We hope at an early date to give a full synopsis of this very able lecture, as it is one that will interest and profit all classes of thinkers. The meet ing was held at the Rose Orphan home, and the lecture was delivered in the well-filled chapel before the Vincent circle and their friends, to the number of eighty or more. After the lecture an adjournment was had to the beautiful parlors of the "Home," and a short time spent in social converse. Miss Alden played a piano solo from ''II Trovatore," with the beauty of expression and delicacy of touch so well known. A very beautiful solo was sung by Mrs. Bridwell. A delightful surprise in the way of two or three choruses were sung by the children of the "Home." The voices blended sweetly and showed careful training and considerable talent. The circle adjourned after a vote of thanks to Prof. Parsons and Mr. and Mrs. Alden for a very delightful evening.

An Ancient Cotton Boll. Senator Brown and Hon. 8. 8. Cox are warm personal friends and occasional correspondents. The other day the minister to Turkey, who is now taking his vacation in Egypt, wrote a very interesting letter to the Georgia senator. Near the ruins of Thebes Mr. Cox and his wife, guided by the celebrated archseologist, Maspero, investigated a newly-opened tomb of an agriculturist, who died 4,000 years ago. The mummy was found in excellent preservation, and the painted symbols on the walls were as fresh as the floaers of May. Among the objects lone buried with this farmer was a twif of cotton in bloom, which was as perfect as if just wrested from the field. Alongside this fleecy boll Mrs. Cox has placed a harebell which grew by the brink of the mystic Nile. Senator Brown will plant one of the seeds of this wonderfully ancient boll and hopes to perpetuate it in north Georgia.

The White Label.

Mr. John Kirschner, fourth vice president of the Cigarmakers' International Union, is ill the city. Tuesday bight he addressed the Knights of Labor at their usual place of meeting. Mr. Kirechner's mission here is in the interest of the blue label. In New York two rings control the tenement house cigars. One ring has induced their employes to form K. of L. assemblies, allowing no one but those employed by them to join those assemblies. On the cigars manufactured they nse the white label. The cigars made by members of the Cigarmakers' Union will urge upon the Knights of Labor the necessity of revoking the charter of the K. of L. lodges composed of tenement house employes, or do something as efiective.

MISSIONARY WORK.

Sleeting of the Woman's Baptist Missionary Society, The Woman's Baptist Foreign Missionary society of the West assembled annual convention at the First Baptist church yesterday forenoon. This society embraces all the territory west of the Allegheny mountains, east of the Rocky mountains, and north of the Ohio river, There will be a large number of delegates present. A few arrived Tuesday evening, quite a number yesterday, and have iroceedings were opened by the ieen coming in during the afternoon. Among them are many noted women in missionary work, several being retired missionaries. The object of the meeting is the election of officers, hearing reports on missionary work, and preparing for future work. The president, Mrs. A. J. Howe, of Chicago, with a short address. Prayer followed, and then Mrs. M. H. Waters, of this city, delivered an address of welcome. During the afternoon routine work was gone through with.

The report rendered by Mrs. A.

In the foreigh department there are now twenty missionaries, distributed as follows: Nine in -Burmah, three among the Telu two in Assam, and six in China. The work consists partly in organizing and teaching schools of native children, partly in educating native women to be-

Clark is a pleasing speaker and her remarks were entertaining and instructive. Hie Bev. Dr. Jeffrey then delivered a most eloquent and instructive address upon the missionary work at large, placing particular stress upon the grandeur of the foreign work by reason of its being attended by bo many difficulties ana consequently by so much heroic self-sacrifice on the part of the followers of Christ, who are carrying the light, of His gospel into the dark and shadowy corners of the earth—into and among the homes of the heathen. The magnificent results following the missionary work of the first few years particularly, were all vividly illustrated. An eloquent tribute was pud to the unselfish and untiring labors of the foreign missioaaries, the speaker concluding the same by saying of the missionary work ers: "They are God's nobiiity on earth and will be His aristocracy in heaven." Dr. Jeffrey commanded the undivided attention of his audience throughout his discourse.

The society will elect officers for_ the ensuing year to-day. Among the visitors present are represented the following states: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, about one hundred in all.

THE TELEPHONE.

The Central Union Company Preparing to Remain in tbe State. A Wabash special says: "Notwithstanding its alleged inability to continue business in Indiana and conform to the new statute requirements in regard to rentals, the Central Union Telephone company is preparing to go ahead with its business at the new rates, charging $3 per month, and $5 where two instruments are furnished—a reduction of $24 annually from the rates heretofore prevailing. A maximum number of subscribers has been fixed, however, which in cities of this class is 100 of the size of Logansport 175, of South Bend and Fort Wayne, 200. The' company has sent out a circular to its exchanges in every county seat giving its ultimatum as to the number ef subscribers to be obtained, abrogating all existing contracts ant. giving notice that in no case shall lines be furnished at the reduced rates to patrons outside of the corpor&te limits of each place, agreeing, though, to maintain the highest efficiency in regard to service. It is believed that the telephone business can be built up in this section."

The Indianapolis News of last evening contains the following: "The Citizens' Co-operative Telephone Company, which has been organized with a view to doing business in this and adjoining places, has issued an address to the puDlic' The incorporators are John

H. Stewart, William Besson, Jacob Bieler, A. G. Stiles, Edward C. Egan, C, F. Whitcomb, J. M. Ridenour, Samuel Taylor, Vance Hunter and William Wallace. The company assures the public that it does not intend to tie itself up, 'neck and heels,' to any one patentee of a telephone. For the present, however, it lias adopted and contracted for the Wallace telephone. Thomas Wallace, the inventor and patentee, is said to be backed by large capital. His instruments are on exhibition here. The plan of operation is for each patron to subscribe and pay for $40 of stock, for whieh he gets a paidup certificate non-assessible, and the free use of one telephone for the first year after that he is to pay 3 per month for business places, and $20 per year each for telephones at private residences "Every stranger at the hotels who displays a box of any sort is reported as agent for some new telephone company, With a dozen companies already in right there seems to be enough, but there is yet one in prospect. Although *\here are three 'syndicates' of local capitalists, backing as many instruments, certain citizens are canvassing the propriety of a fourth, and it seems to promise a method of settlement. It is suggested that all citizens who desire telephones may rent them individually of the Bell company The yearly rental price is $20 each to individuals perhaps if several hundred should be ordered Ihe price would be reduced to $15, which is the amount of the royalty paid by the Central Union to the Bell company. The exchange already in operation could furnish service to each individual renter of telephones at an amount of refital that, added to the royalty, would probably bring the entire rental within the lawful amount, $36 per annum. "This scheme was suggested to Mr, Wallick, of the Central Union to-day, and it was looked upon by him as probably practicable. He said that the exchange would furnish, he thought, service for Bell instruments under such an arrangement, but was positive Uiat it would not agree to make connection or render service for any other instrument. "Business men who have been deprived of telephones are-casting about in search of something that can be depended upon in the way of telephone service. They say that the telephone is a public necessity that it is in the market, and that they can't see how they can be lawfully deprived of its use. There is a feeling that if some snch arrangement as the above can be effected, it would probably afford the greatest security from interruption'in the way of injunctions, etc. On the other hand, maoy citizens believe that the Central company could have furnished service if it would at the lawful rate, and since it has not done so, but has brought about the present confusion, it should be given no further consideration."

A $3,000 FIRE.

The ill Farm Beeldenee of Charles Stelas, on the Lockport Boad, Destroyed.

About 10 o'clock Tuesday night, the fine farm residence of Mr. Charles Steing, five miles .south on the Lockport road, Was destroyed by fire. The family Was in the sitting-room, conversing. Mrs. Frank Fisbeck, a daughter of Mr. Steing, who was visiting from the 'city, happened to look through a transom, and discovered a bright light. Investigation showed that the entire front portion of the house was in flames. The fire had gained snch headway that it was impossible to save any household furniture in fact, the family barely bad time to escape. The loss is fully $3,000, insured in the German, of Buffalo, for $1,900. This makes the third bad fire in the Steing family and their relatives in and around Terre Haute within the past three weeks. The other two were the Newbart fite and the destruction of Mr. Simmon's barn with all its contents.

J. ALBERT WILLIAMS, M. D.,

LATE OF NEW YORK CITY. (Graduate from two of the leading medical colleges In this country.) Attendant of four of the beet HospUal* in New York City) has opened an office and reception rooms opposite Postoffice, on Sixth street, Terre Haute. Ind., for the purpose of treating all diseases of the Head, Throat,Chest and diseases of women.

Catarrh, Throat Disease, Asthma, BRONCHITIS AND CONSUMPTION. We adopt the latest and most improved system of Inhalatiou aod other appliances whieh have never been used west ot New York City before. Improvement is seen and felt from tbe first hour of treatment., I care not how bad yon are suffer-

ln^R.

J. WILLIAMS an old physloian with fifty years' experience, will treat all Chronic Diseases

The report for 1883, of this city has Just been published and furnished muoh valuable Information Important to all. The chief point in the. tables of this report I wish to direct attention to, Is the fearful number of death* caused by diseases of the Throat and Lungs. More than fifty distinct maladies were concerned in causing this sacrifice of 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 plessure is doomed to a premature death by diseases of the throat and lungs. Some falling this year and some next and so on. Suoh is the lesson taught by tbe experience of the past treatment. The stomach has been made the Teceptaele of medicine intended to act on the inner surface of fhe lungs, It has been nauseated demoralized and paralysed by medicine until it has been rendered incapable of doing it necessary work digestion, have shown you from the reports of my patients how quick Inhalation produces a change for the better. No other treatment has ever accomplished such results.

CATARRH, that disgusting malady with its multiplicity of symptoms the sore throat, enlarged or ulcerated tonsils* the remarkable tendency to contract cold, the hoarseness, hacking cough, the oppression of the ohest, the deafness, ana poisoning of the blood from swallowing the mucus from the throat. I have tbe best appliances that ever came to this city. So other system of practice has ever cared,
