Those Chicago anarchists should be locked up before they succeed in inciting another I lay market tragedy. Chicago. it would soem, would realize that tliis is tho wise thing to do.

Next to tho perplexities of the tariff situation that comes with tho reassembling congress will lie the revival of that long-disputed question, ought cabinet ladioo or tho wives of senators maito the first call.

The I'jvansvillo Democrat, German, sarcastically remarks: "Again no real ostato transfers but thro3 mortgages instoad on yesterday. Boom!" Still there there are people down on the river who think Evansvilie is not asleep.

An anti-prohibitionist negro ut Atlanta wm so joyful over the defeat of prohibition that lie grinnod his jaw out of place. If "smiles" are to udd this misery to the many others indicted by inlemporanco we ar9 for prohibition.

John L. Sullivan has returned to London froru tho provinces and as a partial result of his ton days tour bought $10,(XX) in por cent. United States government bonds. If John L. keeps out of John Barleycorn's way ho may be happy vet.

[f tho president is really deairous of making himself popular he can do more in that direction by making that :nessago short than by any other means. Let him romember that any-fool can write to liil npaee, but that brevity is an evidence of ability.

Mr. Jay Uould\ mission abroad is said to bo to obtain tho quotation of Western Union stock on tho London Stock exchange, but the London newspapers sav that tho distrust of ho man is such that he will not succeed in having it done.

The report of tho superintendent of police for the tirst month under Urn midnight, closing order of things sli^vvs a great falling oil' in the number of arrosts for drunkenness. And we don't believe any man will say that ho hasn't been able to get all that was go:nl for his stomach's sake.

It would seem that Terro Haute should not give up all idea of getting natural gas without puncturing the earth at other points. Can't someone stait a company to try it on the bluffs about the city? Some of us believe that is the place to Und it. We don't know why but still we have faith even untn a grain of muetard seed.

The change in the deputyship of the revenue oflice ai Evansviile has been made, although, if we remember rightly, it was stnted that the defalcation in that ntlice was of no particular consequence becauso the bondsmen had made good tho amount. When tho affairs of a federal oHiee rcijuirw a change to be made for tho good of the service wo submit that it is a confession that the matter is of some consequence.

A P. Allen who signed himself as the owner of the schooner Merida and says ho is an American citizen sends word that his vessel was forcibly taken from him by otlieors of the Xicaraguar. government. After the Cleveland administration fully satisfies itself that this statement is true it will hesitate before taking tho necessary steps to vindicate American honor and to obtain damages for its citizen. Congress will then pass a measure giving the executive reoans of retaliation and beiug thus spurred to it3 duty it will go outside of its proviuce and convono a treaty com­

mission. At least this is what will be done if the Canadian fisheries precedent is followed.

We do «ot believe In the doctrine advanced by the Express that "the appreciation of values as a result of the construction of this road justifies the Imposition of the tax." Grantlnc that the building of the road would Increase the valuation of real estate, a citizen who owns simply a home which he has no desire to sell Is not benefitted. His property Is increased on the tas duplicate, but it is no more comfortable or desirable as home than before. -[Sullivan Democrat.

The Democrat's idea, we submit with all due respect, is as extremely old-fogyish as the Kansas booms are extremely foolish in the other direction. We also submit that tho contentment of which the Democrat speaks is rarely to be found. Every citizen is desirous that his city should be prosperous, and guided by sound business principles is willing to engage to do that which will legitimately enhance the value of his property and that of his neighbor. We submit that it being granted that the building of the road would increase the valuation of real estate there is but very slight ground left for opposition to the tax.

Soma one has startod this -story about Mr. Blaine: James G. niaine Is eipjcte to reach San Francisco, Cat, on his return to the United States, on June 20th next. He will return via Japan.

Five days after his arrival In San Francisco the national Republican convention will be held. Mr. Bialne wiil remain in California until the nomination has been made.

One of Mr. Blaine's party nuingers, who Is authority for this statement, says that the Maine state-imin will be renoinin its.I practically without opposition.

Uls presence In California will. It Is believed, create so great a furor as to insure hln the sol! vote of the entire Pacific slop?.

Nest we will hear that to cause a startling effect ou the country he will turn a somersault over the Atlantic ocean and light on his foot in the hall of tha convention at tiiemjru jnt when the vote is to 1)3 taken on the nomination for president.

There is something discouraging in the exposures at the woman's reformatory becauso it was under the supervision of a board of women managers who gave the institution their personal attention, and such as was supposed to absolutely prevent secret abuses of tho rule3 of government or of the instincts of humanity. yet we see by this investigation that despito all this zealous care the abuse of inhuman punishment so common in all public institutions grew up in this one where woman even were the merciless torturers of thoir unfortunate sisters.

Senator lieu Harrison's vigorous speech last Friday indicates that there will be plenij of visor and snap In the Hoosler state campaign- His arraignment of the Democratic "do-nothing administration" should move the mnct, apathetic voter. --[Chicago Inter-Ocean.

That's the kind of Republicans we aro hero in Hoosierdom. We aren't afraid some one will shout bloody shirt at us. Don't you know that is what makes a Iioosi«r? Ho isn't afraid of being laughed at or what is said of him, so long as 'no knows he is doing what is right.

VOICE OF THK PEOPLE.

Tlio Writ Side of tli« Kivcr and the "oad. To the Editor of the Express: Siu: You will please give a place In your paper for what the west side of Wabash has to say about the Terra Haute & Mississippi railroad and the reasons why it should go down on our side of the river. First, we have plenty of timber, whereas th? other side Is deficient. Second,we have abundance of lime and sandstone, and third and best of all. for a railroad company, we can show In this Immediate part which Is on the Darwin road, in seven miles of where Hie road crosses Crooked Creek, there arc seventeen distinct plsces where the stone coal crops out. and there Is one mlao on 1. P. Brown's farm where LMKX) bushels have been taken out and put on the market for heating purposes and smithing. It is a Xo.'l coal. Now there Is also a vein ten feet thick of No. one fire cUv on said I. Brown's [arm. We don't see why we can furnish greater Inducements for the railroad on this side of the river than on the other as there are thousands of tons of freight her# lu the earth that could and would be moved If we had a railroad. We have no road running parallel to compete with like the other side, as the E. & T. 11. Is in a few miles, and then your dirt road Is graveled down that side which will go against a railroad as Irelght such as they have over there Ciii be hauled iu wagons. D. T. Hkown.

ANENT THE COAL DEALERS.

New York Tribune. (ieneral flreely is a fine man and a brave officer, but as the head ut the Signal Service bureau lie Is no such man as the average coal-dealer would be.

IIEATII OF SENATOR M. II. THOMPSON.

Sketch of tli« I.ife of a Vi(jo County Man a I 'rbana. II].

The Chicago Tribune publishes the following sketch of the life of State Senator M. "B. Thompson, of Urbana, brother of Mr. J. F. Thompson, of this city, who died uf heart disease on Sunday, at his home:

Senator Thompson was born in Vigo county, Indiana, August 27, 1833. Betwees the age of 18 and 23 he worked at the coopers' trade in Terre Haute, Ind. In 1S,")3 ho began the study of medicine, and in 18,"iC he removed to Urbana, where he practiced medicino a short time. Meantime he studied law, and in 1858 began the practice of law, and continued in that profession until his death. He enlisted in tho Twenty-fifth Illinois volunteers in 1801 as a private. He was soon promoted to a second lieutenancy. At the end of his throe years' term of enlistment he came home, raised a company. and was commissioned captain and assigned to the _One Hundred and Fifty fourth Illinois regiment. He was afterward relieved from active service and appointed on the military commission in the department of tho Tennessee, in which court he served nine months and until mustered out of service, lie allied himself with the Republican party at its birth and remained with it all his life. In 18GS he was elected prosecuting attorney for the Sixteouth judicial district. In 1872 he was elected state's attorney for Champaign county, and at the same time was elected president elector for tho district. In 1880 he was chosen mcmber-at-large of the Republican state central committee. In 1884 ho was elected state eenator by the Republicansof theThirteenth district, which oflice lie held at tho time of his death. He way a forcible and earnest speaker, and had earned the reputation of being one of the best criminal lawyers in the state.

AMUSING DILEMMA,

Special to the Indianapolis News. Washington,

November 28.- There

is nothing the president loooks for more carefully every morning when he reads his morning paper than the news from Jeff Davis' bedside. The reason is a peculiar one, which is both pathetic aud humorous. When Jacob Thompson died flags wore hung at half-mast over the interior department building by Secretary Lamar's order, aud the incident occasioned a good deal of comment throughout the country. If Jeff Davis should die. undor_ tho precedent established by Mr. Lamar, it would be accessary to hang tho flags at halfmast on tho war department, as Mr. Davis was President Pierce's secretary of war, and it is customary to lower the flags on the death of any man who has been a cabinet minister. This was not done in the case of ox-Secretary Floyd, and need not havo been done in Mr.' Thompson's case. Mr. Lamar in doing so established rather than followed tho precedent. If Joff Davis should die during this last year of Mr. Cleveland's administration, it would, unquestionably, cause his defeat in case of his renomination. If he lowered the flag the North would be against him. and if he did not the South would be against him. Tho matter has been the subject of several consultations between the president and his favorite advisers, but the dilemma still remains.

SENATOR HARRISON'S SPEECH AT DANVILLE, Senator Harrison was given an earnest reception by the Republicans at Danville Saturday afternoon, the town being decorated in his honor and the people meeting him at tho depot, headed by a brass band, and accorded him a very cordial greeting. The occasion was a party rally, under the auspices of the Lincoln league, recently organized in that place, aud the speech which followed from General Harrison was in the line of Republican work. He was introduced by Enoch G. Hogate, clerk-elect "of the county, and the intimation from Mr. Hogate that Indiana Republicans would rejoice if Harrison was chosen for tho standard bearer next year was considered as a timely ono by the large crowd in attendance. General Harrison, in his speech, discussed tho topics now receiving attention from the country at large, these including equal ballot, pension legislation. the tomperanco question, the present wrongful management of the benevolent institutions, American industry and un-American combines, etc., and in ail his utterances he suited the temper of his audience. His declaration in favor of local option war. accepted ai a key-note.—[Indianapolis N«ws.
