A GOOD ISSUE.

On election day Mr. Peker's friends circulated a card bearing this quotation from a communication in the Express, and accepted the issue therein set forth as the Express now does, as applied to all future elections: "The race for trustee at this election Is not between Democrat and Republican, but Is between order, temperance, morality and brains, led by (ieorge Grimes, and lawlessness, Intemperance, Immorality and ignorance, led by Frank Peker."

Enforce the law.

Now comes Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, of the ways and means committee, to whom the idea of protection of American industry is abhorrent, and reports with great cordiality a bill to protect American authors. The bill is the one framed and espoused by Mr. James Russell Lowell, who, despite his longing for the re-elcction of Mr. Cleveland is too much disgusted with American affairs to remain here and help elect his mati by taking part in the rude campaigns of our people, and has gone to Europe to remain until the contest is over. It may.be said that the protection in this copyright measure is even more extreme in its benefits to the few at the cost of the many than even the sugar duty.

it came to pass that the Democrats who control federal appointments here had an opportunity to appoint twentylive or thirty men to good positions in tlio internal revenue bureau. Of all these appointments one—or two, peril aps,—were given to Germans, one a storekeeper's place and a gaugersliip to Peter Gfroerer. At the Bame time a dozen better places were given to Irishmen. Collector Manson removed Gfroerer, ostensibly because he said, as we believe he said, that "nil Germans were anarchists" and put an Irishman in his place. Mayor Hewitt lias recently shown by the figures that the Democratic party, his own party, in New York city put three Irishmen into oflice in proportion to the population to one German.

The report ol Minister Phelps' probable appointment to the chief Justiceship Is most likely put forth as a mere feeler. Mr. Cleveland has a habit of causing a number of names to be thus given out in connection with every important appointment that he has to make, for the purpose of Inviting criticism upon them. It Isn't a very dlgnllled or manly way of doing business but It Is rliarncterlstlc of the Individual who just now happens to be president.—[Globe-Democrat.

If that be true Mr. Cleveland is seeing criticism that must make him regret his selection of Mr. Phelps for the important position he now holds. The Democratic press no less than the Republican repudiates the suggestion of his being named for the great postion of chief justice of the Supreme court.

This, for instance, is but apart of a Courier-Journal editorial: Mr. Phelps Is known to the people only as one, who has for nearly three years, misrepresented ills country abroad, ills nomination as minister to England was a sensation many of his performances In London have fallen little short of scandals and his elevation to the bench of the Supreme court would be ridiculous. It Is Inconceivable that It should be seriously contemplated.

Reared on the Canada border, it was, perhaps but natural that this really comical person should In his youth have caught the snobby spirit of ClsAngllcan socialism and admitted late In life within the the portals of the aristocracy hierarchy, which he had wistfully admired from afar, it should excite no surprise that he lost his head and forgot what Indeed he may have never thoroughly learned, that he was born an American and sent on a public mission, and not a fools errand of mere personal enjoyment and display. Ills behavior has not alone offended naturalized Americans by the example It has set, and particularly the Irish, whom it has Justly outraged, but It has brought shame to all Americans In Europe by the exhibition of tlunkeylsm It has set up where we most wanted dignity and honor. The Republican press knows perfectly whereof It speaks. It Is fully apprised of the unfitness of the nomination It heralds, and ready to turn It to account if it should be made.

The Irish World says as to Judge Greshaui that he never said a word for Blaine and Logan in 1884 that in his treasury speech he said nothing on the tariff. Some one has been pouring poison into the editor's ink. Judge Greeham eulogized Blaine and Logan as highly as any one and spoke on the tariff question at length. In Chicago Saturday night at a meeting choosing delegates to the national convention, in a

district that is the leading manufacturing one of the northwest, where the voters are ail hard working mechanics, the delegates were instructed for him and the following reeolution passed:

Springing from the body of the Industrial people of the country like our party's first president, the immortal Lincoln, he Is In thorough sympathy with the great Industrial classes, and a stern foe to monopoly and corrupt combinations which geek to control legislatures and courts of Justice and to dictate to those charged with the administration of the law. As a soldier In the war for the preservation of the Union he attested his patriotism, his courage and his fidelity to free Republican institutions. As a Judge, he haa rendered decisions In defense of the rights of the people, attacked by corporate greed, which rendered his name a household word in every family. As a member of the last Republican cabinet his admlnlstratloa of the most Important of our domestic departments was singularly able, progressive and successful.

These resolutions derive additional emphasis from the speech in their support made by Mr. Monaghan, the president of one of the most important and, as recent events have proved, one of the most conservative union in America. His language is worth quoting. He said:

I heartily support the resolutions In favor of Judge Gresham. I wish to-say that I, voice the sentiment of thousands of worklngmen when I tell you that we will do all we can to make Walter Q. Gresham ithe next president of the United States If he Is the Republican nominee. [Applause.] He has been the untiring foe of monopoly and has not been Indentlfled with any class or faction, but has upheld the Interests of the people. Nominate him and he will be elected. [Applause,J

The Second district is the residence of a population largely of foreign birth. One of the delegates is a German and the otner an Irishman.

We would call attention to one point. A year or so ago Mr. Eugene Debs published in his magazine an article against the principle of the boycott. At that time the printers' union and the Knights of Labor were boycotting the Gazette because it did not pay the same fair wages paid for like service in other printing offices in the city of Terre Haute. The Gazette made much use of those articles in its contest, which was exactly the same as is now being conducted by the Brotherhoods with the "Q"— agitation of fair wages as against "scabs" and "child" labor. Now. however, Mr. Debs is an ardent boycotter. The question naturally arises if he iB a boycotter only when his own Brotherhood men are engaged in it? Does he believe in the federation of labor to "defy" the employer only when the organization that pays him a good salary is interested?

We call the attention of the Gazette to Mr. Debs' last articles in the Magazine and ask our contemporary if it supports him as the candidate of its party for councilman in the First ward, saying to our contemporary that he now says that he is in favor of the boycott to "cripple" such as it is that do not pay the wages that prevail for like service. Surely some one must take a humiliating position in this matter.

WITHOUT GUARDIANS.

Peoria Transcript. A naval officer was accused of abducting a Pittsburgh girl, but since the return of the beauty to her home, she modestly and firmly admits that she abducted him, played him for a sucker and let him go. She Insists, however, that he was not subjected to personal Indignity. This shows that there Is grest danger In allowing American naval officers to roam around Pittsburg without duly qualified guardians.

PRIDE FALLETH BEFORE AN AD.

Seymour Republican. Many of our city papers become so consumed by their own greatness that they have nothing but Jibes and sneers for the country press. But we notice that they have to keep certain ads at the top of the columns next to reading matter. Just the same as ordinary country newspapers.

Princess Victoria of Prussia must be a very inflammable damsel if she has cherished a lifelong affection for Prince Alexander, says London Truth, as he finally quitted Berlin when she was only 13.

General James Grant Wilson, on visiting a few days ago the spot near Atlanta, Ga., where General McPherson fell, found that the relic-hunting vandals had so mutilated the marble base in which the upright gun is placed as a monument that the hero's name is scarcely legible. Some of the iron pickets which inclose the memorial had also lost their points, having, like the granite, as General Wilson was informed by his colored guide, "been toted off by gemmen from de North." "There is a great deal of nonsense," remarked a business man to a Louisville Courier-Journal reporter, "about doctors not advertising. I am glad to see that the medical profession in the east is debating and proposes to repeal the unwritten law which forbids professional advertising. It ought to be repealed. Advertising is an agency that advances its patrons. All good enterprises use it, and so do physicians when they can do so for nothing. They ought to let people know where they are to be found."

POOR "HUSBAND JIMMIE."

Mr. .lames Brown Potter Quietly Seeking a Divorce.

In the metropolis we are still talking about the Whitney-Dickey wedding, which was the only Easter wedding of social importance, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Charles Dickey, father of the bridegroom, is living at the corner of Thirty-seventh street and Park avenue, in Mr. Howard Potter's house while that gentleman remains in Europe representing Brown Bros, it Co. in London. Howard Potter is the father-in-law of Mrs. James Brown Potter and a brother of Bishop Potter. Next the Potter house around the corner in Park avenue are two little houses, particularly attractive. One was built for the eldest daughter of Howard Potter and given her for a wedding present the other for young "Jimmie" Potter when he brought the beautiful New Orleans belle, Cora Urquhart, back to New York as his bride. But even in those days Mrs. James Brown Potter saw the possibilities of society and the impossibilities of living ever under the eye of Potter pere, so she would not accept the pretty residence, but chose apartments in a down-town hotel. Ah, those were happy days for husband "Jimmie," and triumphant days for Mrs. J. B. P. and later, when baby "Fifi" came, and they were domiciled in a charming flat, all the gay world came to see these birds in their nest and smile approvingly at the turtle doves. It wasn't a grand menage, but such a dainty one, and it meant an undreamed paradise to Miss Cora, for

die had seen little of her family's greatness, which, as Major Ilrquhart, her father, likes to tell any listener bv the hour, was all "befo' de wah." Then came the craze for recitations and amateur theatricals, and Mrs. "Jimmie" found herself not only asocial star, but the favorite society actress. How proud husband "Jimmien was, too! I remember what he once said: "I wouldn't have my Uncle Bishop Potter know how I spent Sunday morning, for it was running about hunting up scenic artists to repaint a scene in which my wife was to appear. I wanted the colors changed to look well with her toilets."

And then he looked at his pretty wife, talked of her triumphs, shuffled the the cards from a pretty silver basket in which the guests had deposited their pasteboards, and smiled to see how many of them bore crests and distinguished names then he stroked the bright bronze hair of his wife, pulled at a bit of lace at her throat, and—well, Kyrle Bellew, ex-leading man at Wallack's theater, now smooths the burnished locks and playB with the laces that adorn the gowns Of Mrs. James Brown Potter, and husband "Jimmie"— alas, the pity of it! It was less than three years ago, and in his quiet way, as befits a Potter, he is seeking a divorce from his actress wife, with whom he is still madly in love."

How she did fool society, and even her husband, at the time she shed tears to see her name actually on a street poster, even though it were for a charity and while she was .also assuring her friends that the idea of her ever going upon the real stage was perfectly absurd she was laying her plans for a grand coup and a future theatrical career. Cora, we will try and forgive you these deceptions, but, like husband "Jimmie," we must draw the line at the caresses of your leading man.

Indianapolis News: For ten years litigation has been actively carried on between the St. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute and the Indianapolis & St. Louis railroad companies. The point at issue was raised by the I. & St. L. company refusing to pay the annual rental agreed upon to the St. L., A. & T. H. for the use of its road. As guarantors and bondholders the C., C., C. fc I., the Pittsburg, Fort Wayee & Chicago and other companies became involved in the suit. Decisions on two points were appealed to the United States Supreme court, that body on Saturday passing upon the last of them and settling the long contested case. Without giving details, it may be stated that though the I. & St. L. was unable to pay the rent agreed upon, the guaranteeing roads were released from their agreement by the court, on the ground that the directors had no right to divert their companies' funds to other purpose than provided for in their charters. ThiB decision is thought likely to prove of importance in other questions depending on the rights of directors of railroads.

8TBAY INFORMATION.

There seems to be no great abatement in the measles epidemic and certainly no one can discern any great decrease in the number of yellow cards still adornikg residences all over the city. On several streets almost every alternate house is burdened with a big yellow card bearing "MEASLES, KEEP OCT,"and were all these warnings obeyed to the letter of the law, there would be an almost total cessation of business. But the form is such a mild one that all who have so far escaped are anxious to expose themselves, and at the present time it might seriously be questioned whether there has not been an increase instead of decrease. At many places where children are down no physicians are called, no report is made to the board of health and consequently no cards are displayed. The school authorities are still as strict as at the opening of the epidemic, and all children of families in which there are measles, are denied the privilege to continue in school if they remain at home. Several pupils were eent away from the High school yesterday on this account, and it is doubtful whether there are more than 10 per cent, of the 400'who have not already had the measles.

A lady and gentleman were the only occupants of a north Sixth street car the other afternoon, and although strangers, the following conversation was inspired by the drivers of opposite going cars stopping to exchange an informal greeting: "Poor fellows. They have little chance to be sociable,and how pleasant it must be for them to stop and exchange five or ten words as they pass each other." "True. And their lives are so utterly devoid of pleasure of any kind beyond that of clubbing the mules with their rawhides." "How fortunate for the poor fellows it must be to be granted the one privilege of rawhiding their little mules. What would life be to them should the management withdraw such mental support?" "We cannot object to waiting a few minutes for them to exchange congratulations."

The drivers tore themselves apart, and the cars moved on, each man plying his whip with a liberality wonderful to behold.

An old time and pleasing sight was presented yesterday afternoon by a farmer passing through the city with a wagon load of household furniture which was being hanled by a double yoke of oxen. He was on the sidewalk and had along whip, an occasional stroke reminding the oxen to keep "in de middle ob de road." Such sights are few and far between now-a-days, and people stared after the outfit as it passed slpwly down the street.

A very good story is told on a party of four fellows who went down the river fishing on Sunday. The boat was shakey and would occasionally go over to the brink. Twice the boat toppled so much that the occupants took a plunge into the water, and "Flaxa" Sherburne remarked that he was "a poor boy" but he'd "give $5 to be home."

TALK ON THE TARIFF.

j\ Former Terre Haute Lady lias a Word to Say for Protection.

The following which appeared in the New York Press is a talk with a lady who formerly lived in this city:

For to-day's tariff talk the Press is indebted to a lady who, after traveling through and spending some years in Europe, is not ashamed to be called an American, but is proud of America's industrial development and takes pride in wearing American made goods. We will call her Mrs. R. "I wish," said she, "that the wives of the leading Republican citizens of this city and state would start a boom for American made goods by asking for and insisting on the home product whenever they visit our leading dry goods stores. As it is now, the merchants humor the prevailing mania for imported goods by always pretending to keep them on hand, whether they do or not. Often they pass off the American article, which is just as good quality, by putting a foreign stamp on it. "I know of a large silk manufacturer of Paterson," continued Mrs. R., "whose wife some time ago wanted a new silk dress, and it had to be foreign. No American silk was good enough for her, although every merchant who deals in silk knows that nothing made in Europe surpasses the best American silk. She selected a splendid brown silk at a Broadway dry goods store, on positive assurance by the salesman that it was the cream of the imported silks. Her husband, when he came home, examined it, and at once recognized it as the product of his own factory. But he said nothing to her, and to this day she probably believes it to be an imported silk. It cost her considerably more per yard than it would have cost if she had bought it as the American article. "Why so? Because there is a fashionable demand for the foreign article, and, other things being equal, this superior demand naturally results in a better price. "I have here," continued Mrs. R., producing a sample of American gingham, "some gingham for which I paid 1'2}4 cents a yard. It is equal in quality to the best English gingham, of which I have also a sample. This," producing the imported gingham, "cost me 50 cents a yard. It is just a trifle smoother and finer than this 12*2 cents gingham, but our gingham manufacturers could equal it in finish, as they have already equaled it in quality, for 15 cents a yard. Its precise counterpart in English gingham would not cost, I suppose. 35 or 40 cents a yard. Now, you see what an enormous profit is made out of the Anglomaniac buyers. More than half the time the American made gingham, which is as good as any one can desire, is sold them for foreign, ot a profit of 200 or 300 per cent. "There is no 'tax on imported goods anything like as real and substantial as the enormous tax that the un-American fashionables pay for American goods which are foisted upon them as foreign. If the ladies of society were to go to Denning's, or Arnold, Constable & Co.,s, or the other reputable firms, and say: 'Give us American silk, or American gingham, with your name stamped on it as a guarantee of the quality,' these firms would gladly supply the demand, and the improved market for the American dress goods would stimulate our mills to emulate the foreign producers and equal them in finish as well as quality. If the wives of such eminent Republican citizens as Chauncey M. Depew, ex-Senator Piatt and Whitelaw Reid were to initiate such a movement in a quiet way, and invite all the women in Republican households to act in harmony with them, I believe such an active sentiment would be inaugurated in favor of home industries as would not only help them but result in carrying New York state for the Republican presidential ticket."

The second congressional district is not included in this call so far as it relates to the district convention, for the reason that the two delegates and alternates for that district were elected at the convention held in Washington, February 2,1888, pursuant to notice given by the proper committeeman, which election of delegates was ratified and confirmed by a resolution unanimously adopted by the Republican state central committee at the meeting held February 16,1888, but the counties in that district will elect delegates to.the state convention to be held May 3, as above stated.

The time for holding the state convention for the nomination of candidates for the state offices to be voted for next November has not yet been fixed, but the representation in that convention will be the same as in that district conventions above named, and the delegates can be chosen at such time and in such place and manner as may be fixed by the several county committees.

The county chairman will report the names of all delegates and alternates to the chairman of the state committee.
