It is reported that Mr. Cleveland will recommend congress to do a little tinkering with the tariff.

Mr. MorrUon has appeared in Washington wearing a new silk hat, the first since 1871. It is suggested that he won it on Mr. Baker's election.

While the president is laid up with rheumatism he can console himself that he is not near so crippled as some of the members of his party in Indiana were at the recent elect'on.

The premature bocm for presidential candidates is likely to develop into a boomerang two years hence. There is luck in leisure, and men who might be available would bf-tter ask to be delivered from their injudicious friends.

The EORIWU socity papers are fearful that the Campbell scandal will weaken the respect of the common people for the aristocracy. A tew more such scandals will undoubtedly destroy the sense of smell of the common people. Their respect fled some time ago.

It might be policy for certain members of the Marion county Democracy to go Joliet and Columbus, where quite a number of the brethren are sojourning for committing such frauds as those committed in IndianapoliB on last election day. They might obtain a pointer or two, also learn the latest styles in stripes.

Speaking of President Cleveland the Albany Times says: "It seems hardly within thi probabilities that he can so retrieve his fortunes within the two years before him that he can count on a majority, much less the two-thirds vote essential to a nomination in the next Democratic national convention."

Says Senator Mahone: "It will be folly for the Democrats to build high dopes upon Virginia. North Carollnia, as demonstrated in the last elec'ion, can without much effort be turned into tbe Republican column. The free trade policy of the Democrats will l-ose them several of the electoral votes from the south."

One of the witnesses in the Campbell divorce suit testified that Lady Campbell possessed a key with two tongues, one for her own house door and the other for the Duke of Marlborough's residence. The evidence is conclusive that the servants of the Campbell household possets tongues tied in the middle and loose at both ends.

Frank Lawlor, who was elected to congree two years ago from a Chicago district by 2,400 majority, and who was elected in November over a K. of L. representative by less than fifty votes, and that by fraud, attributes his close call to the president's policy. While the president's policy is not making all Democrats happy, there area number of Democratic politicians who have become odorous to the people, and Mr. Lawlor is one of them.

There is no city in the United States where there are more examples going to prove that frugality and sobriety pay than Terre Haute Oa every street are dozens of homes acquired by hard struggles. Men have hammered them out in the shops, they have shoveled out their value in irt, they have stood weary hours at the counter, they have driven teams in the hot san and in the bitter cold, they have wi.rked late hours, they have acquired them in all manner of ways. Tbey have covered their floors with carp«ts, they have filled their rooms with nice furniture, they have filled cases with books, their daughter have a piano, their sons and daughters attend school, and their fondest hopes are that their daughters will marry good, industrious men, and become good wives and mothers, as good as their own mothers are, and that their sons will not be afraid of soiling their hands with work.

It isawssteof breath to talk anarchism and socialism to this class of people. They believe in the old maxim, "Root hog or die." While it is homely maxim, and may lie considered by some vulgar, it is the very advice the socialists and the anarchists need.

There is real generosity, and the counterfeit variety which takes the guise of large-hearted liberality and gives lavish lv, either labor or money, at every demand. Among women it most frequently displays itself in ostentatious charity dispensed through the medium of clubs and societies, with endless boards of managers and officers, and aith constitution aod by-laws framed with a proper consideration for the sanctity of red tape. This is not an assertion or an insinuation that all charitable organisations are of this nature, or that all women interested in them are prompted solely by the desire to establish reputations as professional philantropists. Those who are informed upon the subject are aware that the relief afforded the suffering and needy in large citit-s, and the service rendered by intel-

ligent women of wealth and cultivation

are beyond computation. The indlvi

dual in question is the American Mrs. Jellaby, who pays her washwoman in cast-off clothing and food unfit for her own table, who haggles with her overworked dressmaker, whose children roam the streets like Arabs, and have no more training than savages, while she expends her sympathies and enetgies in improving the spiritual condition ot the South Sea Inlanders. She weeps with pity over the professional reformed drunkard, and maintains her faith in the reformed gambler, through all his lapses from virtue. She organizes bands of hope and is present at the numerous meetings of her various societies, the moving spirit of them all. In th6 meantime, those who should be nearest and dearest to her, are neglected 'and suffer for those coa foils which only a faithful mother can pro* vide for her family, and for the lack cf which, money and the attendance of servants are no compensation. With a man this sptrit manifests it self in an inclination to help his friends at the expense of those who have just claims upon him. He has an exterior frankness, a superficial gaiety and elegance that surround him with troops of friends, and bring within his reach honors whi. more worthy men fail to attain by years of faithfnl effort. Ooida pictures such an one in "Under Two Flags"—Bertie Cecil—wbo leaves his perfumed baths and his luxurious dressing room for a camp life whose privations sre borne with the stoicism of a veteran. His showy and magnificent qualities are supposed to excuse the fact that he haa left behind him a legion of prosaic, vulgar "trades people" whose bills he has never paid, and who are made to suffer through his selfish negligence.

The politician of the old school was frequently a man ot this sort he was the center of social gatherings, tbe bright and shining light of all great pnblic occasions. The money he had was at the disposal of he friends so long as it lasted. Unfortunately, it was never at the disposal of his creditors who were forced into bankruptcy, and whose impoverished families were msde to feel the sting and the privation of bitter poverty.

There are hundreds of men in Terre Hante who started out poor. They married poor girls, and their early marriage life wse a struggle. The first year perhaps $100 were saved, the next a hundred more. Soon a home was acquired, perhaps with a mortgage. Then cam# the tug to pay ofl the mortgage. It was paid by saving dollar nt a time by the wife and mother doing her own housework, by the husband and father adjuriag all unnecessary expenses. They went on year after year in the ssme way^ until to-dny they are in easy circumstances—can afford tj take life easy. These people do not take kindly to the doctrines preached by the anarchists, The frugal, industrious man, who has betn assisted in life's struggle by hard working and patient wife, does not desire to divide his possessions with the man who spends his ea. nings thoughtlessly, with no thought for the future The man who is afraid to meet the battle of life, who has not the self denial neccessary to make an effort to secure a start in the world, is the man who believes in a divide.

And tba star star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brevet'"

Here are dignity, legance, eloquence peace, patri tism. It may be doubted if such a charming salutatory after a wellenjoyed vacation has been penned even in the Southwest for a while.

AFTER BREAKFAST CHAT.

The common interests of people in a city are political, municipal or educational. There aie no bonds of fine per sonal sympathy and feeling, welding them together, such as exist in old neighborhoods in the country or in villages. Crime is condoned and condemned and forgotten heroism and generoBiiy are commented upon and are also forgotteu In smaller pi ices all theee things are of the fiist importance, and are long re' membered.

When a man dies, whose hand has been extended "to comfort and hfelp the weak hearted and raise up those who fall," whose life has been an example of purity and integri'v, and whose words are remembered for their wisdGm, the event in the community where he has lived, is like the death of one whom the world has known and revered. He is followed to the prave by those whom he has befriended and by whom he was be loved, and honors are paid his memory which will be borne in mtnd for years, by the simple peo pie amoBg whom be has livid. The marriage of the chief executive, the birth of an heir apparent to a principality, are hardly less important to the world at large, than the same events in country families of established repute and recognized influence. The village poer whose verses appear in the columns of the weekly paper enjoys the same distinction awarded a fellow-poet, who is known and honored in a wider fiald He has the same congratulation and commendation he is called upon to read his odes and apostrophes at anniversaries and teacher's meetings and county conventions, as his brother-poet graces the banquet and enlivens the reception tendered the foreign celebrity The country lawyer has a reputation among bis clients like that of O'Counor. The reverence accorded a chief justice surpasses that of the circuit judge in quantity only not in quality. The doctor is an oracle among his patients, who talk of bis feats as most miraculous performances. The pastor fills the village church by his eloquence, »s the eminent divine crowds the great chUrches of a city, wherever be may go.

The doings of the town council, the election of a schod director, give rise to discussion, and even bitterness of feeiiag, not one whit less interne that that which is roused throughout the nation by some wise or ill-advised political measure. Everything becomes interesting small matters are talked over on the street corners, in the post office, wherever friends and neighbors most do congregate, as weightier subjects are discussed on Broadway^ or Staie street. An amateur concert is delightful, and the applause accorded a company of strolling players would satisfy Booth or Irving.

Oa a smaller or greater scale, there is little variety in events. Tbe whole of history is comprehended in joy, sorrow, en-leavor, failure and success. In cities, only, the more striking incidents of individual experience attiact notice, while elsewhere every thing is of interest, and commonplace events, that are as old as time ib-elf, are of perennial freshness. One who is born, lives and dies among friends and kindred, in the came neighborhood, knows all that a man may know of the purpose of human life, and the results of human conduct for be has acquired his knowledge by personal study and observation, which are not possible where people are herded together, and the fiiendly (ffices of neighboisare not required or known.

At this reason of the year the reports of heads of the different departments are respectfully submitted and the heap is topped off by the president's message. It is astonishing how little effect Etitistics have upon the real prosperity of tbe country. These reports show that there are continual leakages, and inefficiency that goes on blundering year after year with but little or no progress toward perfection. We know, now, that theie is but one complete ve-sel in our navy mat our soldiers have been sweltering in blue shoddy and have been fe 1 on sail pork in regions where the mercury reaches 112 in the shade and no shade. Tnat theie were 42,207 cases tried by court martial last year, and other fact* of equal importance. Yet nobudy pays any attention to generalizations of this sort. Trains go the same as usual, business is carried on, mills and manufactures are kept running or shut down there are births, deaths, divorce and giving in irriage among tbe units of the great mass. Collettively, a

Jeople

are ad destitute of feeling as the Sph nx. Innividually they are moved by briel periods of joy and bappiot-ss, and are wrong by throes of physical and spiritual anguish. A nati is a great corp ration thtt has neither soul nor heat— only tremendous power and energy, that work, occasionally, for posterity, and frequently only for the immedi»te present. In all however, are involved an immense amount of hard work and an immense expenditure of funds.

Amateur farming is said to be an infirmity as hop°l«a and demoralizing as gambling er drinking. No man goes into it who does not think he is destined to make a fabulous fortune raising Hubbard squashes, o. CoHwold sheep, and like other individuals who deal in un certainties, he never takes into consideration blight, drouth, the chfach-bug, and all the other powers of evU that conspire together to his undoing.

6, 1886.

drudgery and economy may be able to pay his taxes and make a little money but he does this by wearing old clothes, makieg clumsy, olJ-fasbioned implements seive long after their day cf usefulness is passed, and by working with his own hard, horny hands through all tbe planting, plowing, hirve-ting and hog-kiiling of the agvicul ural year.

The amateur farmer plunges recklessly into all kinds of new and improved harrows, harness, dairies and incubators. He believes that hired men will work as weU as he hiinse.f might do, had he the inclination and knowledge of profes sienal farmer. I once spent a few jdas with a friend in the vicinity «of New York who oik me out to see his corn and his Piymouih Rock hens and confessed that the corn cost him about fifty cents an ear, and was not bet'er than that which could be bought in market at ten cents a doz-*n, while an ostrich farm would be rea:ly less expensive than bis poultry yard. But it was his recreation, and in that way he quieted his uneasy conscience. The ether day I visited a friend in Cincinnati. Her huebsnd had purchased a farm lastyesr, and it was absorb ing his surplus csh as a sponge absorbs water. She was happy in the possession of an independent fortunt, and consequently, indulged herself in the diamonds and seal skins dear to every female heart. Her husband had no money for clothts and the imagined thatthere wasacontrast in their appearance, when they went out together that wes more striking than agreeable.

At last, cne morning when they were setting out to church she scanned him critically from head to foot and *sked in desperation: "My dear,

wouldn't

you

rather have a pair of new pantaloons than another bull calf? And the depraved and hardened man replied: "No, I would rather have another bull calf than *11 the pantaloons in the world." MARY H. KROUT.

A PUZZLING QUESTION.

Wbnt Sb&ll We Do With Oar Cx-Presl* dmts—A. Life Senatorahip Suggested* The death of ex-Pre&ident Arthur, writes a metropolitan correspondent, has brought up the subject of the absolute retirement into which presidents of the U.iited States are forced oy custom. With the excepiion of John Quincy Adams and Audrew Johnson, wtio was elected United Spates senator, the example set has been ore of rigid abstention from any interference or participation in public affairs- Ex Cougrvssman Amos Towntend, of Cleveland, who was an intimate fxiend of General Garfield, said: "It was the one th'ng that made Garfield anxious, and cost him much uneasiness after his nomination for the presidency, tbat if he should be el-cted, his career would end with the presidential office. He said: 'I am now 50 years of age. My mother is 70 My people have all lived to a goo old age, reaching 75 to 80 ears, li is reasonable to suppose that I have twentj -five years yet before me. If I am elected president, and then re elected, which id tbe moBt that I can expect, I shall only be 58 years of age. Tbat will be about the time when I am required to sit down and fold my hands, bridle my tongue and remain a passive spectator of all tbat is going on around me. It is not a pleasant time to look forward to. It makes me dread the future." My reply to him was tnat a man with his intel'ectual tas es and habits of study, and with opportunities of travtl which would be affjrded to him as an ex-prexident, there was much that was possible after his retirement, and iB time he came to look upon the brighter side of the picture. My own opinion is that a retired president should be made a life senator of tbe United States. That would give them a position and enable them to make use of their valuable experience for the benefit of the country We should have only two or three presidential senators at the most at any one time. Bening senators for life, they would h^ve no obl'gations to minf le in party strife, and ttieir counsels would be valuable to tbe country.

THE COUNTESSES.

Some of t**e Pre ty Department* G11» ot Wa^lngton Who Attract Attention.

The prettiest girl in the employ of the government, says a Washington letter to the Detroit Tribune, is a copyist at the navy department. This is saying a good deal, as about 4,000 wemen hold positions in Washington, and probably 2,000 more in other parts of the country are receiving salaries from Uncle cam. Some of the "coun te.-Bes," as the girls employed iu the treasury department are called, are very pretty, but the belle of the navy is claimed to be entiled to the apple Paris. She is a niece of our minister io England, Judge Pbelps, and her family reside in this city. For about four ye-irs the young lady has been eu.ploped as a typewriter in the office of Commodore Walker, the chief cf the bureau cf detail, teceiving a salhry of $900 a year She is a dark-eyed blonde, with a beautiful figure, and the officers of the navy are all her devoted Blaves.

She was so much interrupted in her work by them tbat Commander Calla, in whose room she is, was compelled prohibit the (ffiora from interviewing her in department hours, and got a lar^e screen, behind which her attractions are now hidden. If tbe commander leaves his room for a moment, thi re is crtain to be some bold young tar about the buildinto run in for a chat with the beauty, and when McC-illa returns the culprit is profuse in his excuses. The number of officers who have typewriting to he don--is astonishing, and they all want to superintend the work. The young lady does not appear to be aware of her tttractions, but cannot but 'tice that th»other typewri erj are not in such demand as ht-rself. When she leaves tbe department at night there are generally two or more officers accidentally waiting in the corridor to escort her safely down elevator and see her to the street car.

Finally Settled.

Mr. Thomas Hanlon was in tbe city yesterday. "Well," ssid he, "I have just completed final settlement of tbe revenue ffice. I am now square with tie government." Mr. Hanlon stated tbat he was still at St. Mary't but had just returned from a trip to Louisville. In regard to bis appointment, Mr. Hanlon said he had received a letter from Washington since the dispatch from Senator Voorhees, but it contained no information more definite than tbat given in the senator's tela gram.

STATE PRESS.

South Bend Tribune: "We believe tbat co-operative industries are a tiue solution of many of the labor difficulties It they can be made successful, there wiil be an end to labor troubles."

Anderson Herald: "It is decidedly a bid time for rings and boodle g«tgs There is a disposition to rt-open the Payne case in Ohio, and thoroughly investigate the alleged purchase of his sena'urial seat."

Kickville Repn' lican: "Senator McDonald. it seems from tbe papers, is advising Democratic members of the legirlature to :esig to prevent the election of a United States senator. This plan will hardly work. A Democrat was never known to resign an office."

The Sullivan Union "The Indianapo lis Sentinel calls upon the Democratic members of the legislature to meet imroidutely and nsme a candidate for 8enfitor. It says that the party must have a leader in this crisis. What has become of Henderson and Bynum?"

Peru Republican: "Tbe handshake is reserved for intimate friends. The reoent letter of Senator Edmunds certainly did not indicate any warm friendship on his pait toward Mr. Blaine, and his intrusion of himself upon the man he had so recen'ly abu«ed was in very bad taste, to say the least."

Richmond Palladium: "It is now understood that the president has given orders that the Republican officeholders in the departments at Washington must go, and go st on. This has raised the spirits of the Democracy, and the trav. 1 to Washington ha* greatly increased ia the past few days."

TbeVincennesCommercial: "Nomatter how defective a law may be, it is better in the hands of a friend than in those of its enemies. The people have a good deal more cot fidence in the constituted authorities and sworn executors of the law than they have in these whose business and pleasure it is to violate the law."

Franklin Democrat: "The press of the state appears to be almost unanimous in denouncing the theory of the misguid-d state organ that Cleveland'8 policy caused tbe late Democratic defeat. If anything, Clevelanl has been too lib-er-l in quanty and not choige enough in quality in his app-intmei ti though the latter was the fault of our congiessmen rather than of his administration."

When the Liver is torpid the Bowels are sluggish and constipated, the food lies in the stomach undigested, poisoning the blood frequent headache ensues a feeling of lassitude, despondency and nervousness indicate how the whole system is deranged. Simmons Liver Regulator has been the means of restoring more people to health and happines by giving them a healthy Liver than any agency known on earth. It acts with extraordinary power and efficacy.
