Perhaps lifter nil Mr. Debs wnsn'L in torvievved.

A few more Liimb conversations and Dobs interviews and there will not be a railroad man in Terre Haute vote the Democratic ticket this year.

"Free raw materials means better WIIKOS Tor labor," says the Indianapolis Sentinel which classes coal as a raw material. We don't suppose the Sentinel moans that free coal would mean better wages for the Indiana minors.

It has been sometime since we have had shipwreck news, but if the strange coincidence of the frequency of these disasters when once started is followed out, there is a frightful beginning of a series of them in the collision between the Thingvalla and the (Jeiser.

Several persons in Terre ilaute are of the opinion that the On/.ette must have boon actuated by malice toward Mr. .Lamb and Mr. Dtbs in publishing that interview with the latter. It is seldom that a boomerang in its recoil, strikes two persons with fatal effect but this one did.

The ell'ort to revive the 1S77 strike won't do. Such railroad men as Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Kngineers and Chief Sargent, of the Brotherhood oT Locomotive Kiremen, vouch for (Jeneral Harrison's friendly feeling for railroad men and they are not men who would betray their brotherhood friends.

The long continued raid of the Chicago letter lio\es is but additional evidence of the miserable management of the postal service. That the raids should have been going on all these mouths and the postal authorities not detecting them is on a par with the miserable service which has caused every business man in the country great annoyance. We have great hopes that tho postal service as now conducted will make main votes for Harrison.

When the (!n/.ette referred to the two railroad employes who overheard Mr. Lamb slandering the Vaudalia management as "fellows" and intimated that they are liars, it increased the membership of the Harrison Railroad club by tho addition of the names of several Democrats whoso language in reference to their organ was even more pronounced in tho expression of contempt than that which tho Gazette had used about two honorable workingmen.

Seuator Vest said that "President Cleveland had challenged the protected industries of the country to a tight of extermination." Well, the coal miners, the men in the iron mills and all the other industries here in this part of the Wabash valley whose employment Mr. Voorhees once truthfully told them had been secured by the protective tariff the large proportion of the men on the railroads whose employment was made possible by the presence of these protected industries the merchants whose business is to sell to these

wage-earners the farmer who has the best and nearest "home market" in Brazil and Terre Haute for his perishable product of any places in the state because all these wage-earners are earning enough wages to eat something besides bread and coiree, as they do on the other side of the ocean, and all of us who feel the good effects in the many ramifications of the development of these industries, will see that Mr. Cleveland does not exterminate them.

There is said to be a very lively row in the local Democratic committee over the demand of the Gazette that the pnuematic tube to be run from the faro banks to headquarters be made to pass through its ollice. The Gazette insists that its part of the "take off" is liable to be diverted if it goes to headquarters where an enemy is in charge. The other side hold that it would not be safe to depend on the promise of the Gazette to take from the box on its way to headquarters only its own share and forward the remainder.

The Gazette has found a mate for Marshall Field whom it announced as a Cleveland free-trade convert, although he held always voted the Democratic ticket. Yesterday we were informed that Mr. Arthur T. Lyman, a Massachusetts manufacturer, had come out for Cleveland. Nothing could be more natural than that the Gazette should make this announcement several days after all the newspapers in the country had cracked their jokes over the fact that Mr. Lyman voted for Cleveland in 1881 as he voted for Hancock in 1S80.

ILoger Quixotic Mills has left his seat in congress and begun a campaign tour which will extend to November and will include the states of New Jersey and Illinois. We hope he can be prevailed on to stop over hero at Terre Haute. His bill and the president's message have swelled our Republican tariff clubs until there are about as many Democrats as Republicans in them. If our workingmen could look upon this Texas ranger, and listen to one of his crude speeches, we might count on a solid Republican vote among the wage-earners.

The Gazette says Mr. Lamb was talking about the "Q" road. Mr. Debs says Mr. Lamb was talking about Mr. McKeen placing "brass collars" around the necks of his employes. There is a lie out here. Being acquainted with Mr. Debs and the Gazette we believe Mr. Debs is not the liar.

By the way, suppose it was the "Q" matter. Mr. Paul Morton is one of the managers of that road. He and Stone have conducted the Pinkerton light. Mr. Paul Morton is a member of the state executive committee, and is treasurer of the Democratic party in Illinois.

It makes a workingman somewhat wrathy to see the Gazette referring in terms of contempt to two of their number, when the fact is notorious that it pays such a low rate of wages that no workingman could support a family on his earnings in that ollice that it payB less than any newspaper in a city of the size of Terre Haute in the United States. When such a newspaper begins to arraign General Harrison for lack of sympathy with workingmen and refers to honest hard working wage earners as "fellows" not worthy of belief then we see the reason why workingmen invariably desert any cause it advocates.

The "sneak game" in local politics seems to have met a timely death. The curbstone effort to makes it appear that the Democrats could not furnish a showing of their strength in railroad circles, because railroad men were afraid they would lose their employment if they made public their Democratic nlliliation, has been called to a halt. The Gazette has been slyly encouraging this sort of campaign work as it does all that is sneaking but we believe that a check has been put on the scheme. To be sure the tariff is the real issue of the campaign but sometimes it is worth while to stop in the middle of the road and kill a snake.

The Gazette seems to bo nonplussed by a sudden access of some information. It cannot believe that Mr. Sargent to whom it gave so much space could be actuated by sellish motives in declaring for Mr. Mills' free trade measure. When informed that Mr. Sargent is protected by patents on 00 percent of his products the Gazette says there is no evidence that ho is an inventor. The Gazette should send a small boy to one of our hardware stores and look at Sargent's catalogue. The boy would find one clasp on which Sargent has spent £80,000 in defending a patent. The small boy should make an investigation into the contracts for the locks, bolts, hinges, and all the many little catches and snaps used in a public building and see if Mr. Sargent is not favored with these contracts by Mr. Cleveland's executive officers. Of course Sargent is for free trade. He soys he would be for it even though all the iron mills in this country close down because he could get the materials he uses cheaper. Now. inasmuch as the Gazette sets such great store by Mr. Sargent we would ask it if it is willing that our iron mills here should be closed for the benelit of Mr. Sargent's manufactory in New Haven? That is the logic of the Gazette's endorsement of Mr. Sargent's talk.

A DEPOSED LEADER.

The Gazette begins an editorial headed "The Real Issue" by saying it is not going "to waste any time discussing this Lamb matter," while in the same impression it prints more than a column of tirae-

-c .-rf* A

^V-

wasting and space-wasting defense of Mr. Lamb. The Gazette gracefully pushes Mr. Lamb out of the way of its editor who is to discuss "The Real Issue." Mr. Lamb is no longer a leader of the itemocracy here. Says the Gazette:

Mr. Lamb has devoted himself to denouncing the bulldozing tactics of the bosses, and the methods of the Pinkerton detectives on the "Q." railroad In attempting to fasten crime on innocent men. It has been his specialty as tariff reform and a reduction of taxes and the surplus have been specialties of Judge Scott and of the editor of tha Cazette.

Isn't that refreshiug? What could be more naive? How could public notice of a change in leaders be made with less harshness than appears here? But says the Gazette as to this railroad discussion to which Mr. Lamb, the established leader, devotes himself:

It won't even work to the extent of diverting for a moment public attention from the great fact that the country Is collecting $100,000,000 more rroin the people In taxes than It needs.

When will it please the Gazette to have the funeral services over Mr. Lamb? The mourners are in readiness.

THE SLANDER ON THE VANDALIA. This is what Mr. Debs tells the Gazette Mr. Lamb said in that conversation and the Gazette publishes it as a defense of that blue eyed boy of blunders:

Personally, Riley McKeen Is my trlend and your rrlend ['this was directed to mej and there Is no man living In Terre Haute who has a larger heart and Is more ready to help a poor man, but pollt Ically he advocates the methods and policy of his party and he Is willing to sanction a policy that puts the brass collar around the necks of his employes because their Jobs are a little more secure wearing these collars." This, I think. Is Mr. Lamb's exact language.

Now we submit that this is a gross libel. We don't believe there is an lion orable Democrat in the city who will join with Mr. Lamb in this opinion of Mr. McKeen. We know that no Democrat in the employ of the Vandalia will endorse what Mr. Lamb said. An engineer, known all along the road as a thoroughgoing Democrat as well as a thoroughgoing engineer, Bends the following to the Express:

Terre Haute, August 1G, 1883.

To the Editor or the Express. Slit: I do not know ot a man In the employ or the Vandalia Rallroid company that thinks Mr. AlcKeen cares In the least what ticket any of his employes votes, and all that I have talked with upon the subject of Mr. Lamb's remarks consider them a gross Insult.

Chief Engineer Gibbons, of the Vandalia, president of the Democratic Railroad Men's club, says the charge that any discrimination is made against employes of the road on account of politics a lie.

WITH WHOM ARE THE MONOPOLISTS? It has been a common cry with the free trade Democrats that the trusts and monopolies of the country are supporting the Republican party, because a pro tective tariff fosters monopolies and trusts. The fact is that nearly all the trusts and monopolies of the worst de scription are with the Democrats. The Standard oil trust, that has no possible connection with a tariff, is the institu tion of Senator Payne and his son-in-law Whitney, of the cabi net. The anthracite coal ring, which has no connection with the tariff is Mr. Cleveland's friend through Wm. L. Scott and Stickney. The latter recently entertained Mr. Cleveland on his yacht. Mr. Gould has joined Cleveland and Dr. Norvin Green, the presi dent of the Western Union Telegraph company, Mr. Gould's company, has recently in an ofctentatious way given a large amount of]money to the Democratic campaign fund. The Indianapolis News is in line]with "tariff reform" newspapers but it is frank enough to expose this lie. It says:

A statement has been going the rounds concerning the Standard Oil trust, the Pacific Railroad ring, the Rubber trust, the Sugar trust, the Steel Rail trust, the Cotton Seed Oil trust, tho Coal ring the Lumber trust, Jay (iould, the land-grabbing corporations, the Pinkerton blood tubs. Of those It Is said they are for Harrison. Now, as a matter of Tact, many members or the Standard Oil trust are for Cleveland. The same can be said of the Rubber trust. The Sugar trust, headed by the Democratic Havemyers, Is a Democratic Institution, and made Mr. Mills and his committee back down from their position on the sugar schedule and substitute one that was acceptable to the Ilavemyers and the trust. The steel rail trust has Its share of Democrats. The cotton seed trust Is a concern made up chletly or Southern Democrats. The lumber trust has Its share ot Democrats. The members of the landgrabbing trust, whatever be their politics, have cause of gratitude to Cleveland for "lirlng" Sparks from the land ofllce where he made himself obnox" lous to the grabbers.

Now let us see who are the men on the National executive committee of the Democratic party:

W. 11. Hamum, chairman or the National committee, Is an ofllcer In six railroads. Calvin S. Brlce. chairman of the Democratic executive committee, Is an ofllcer In nine railroads, two of them rorelgn corporations.

William i.. Scott, the personal representative of the party candidate on this committee. Is an officer In thirteen railroads, three foreign corporations and one or these a rorelgn government railroad.

Senator (iorman, who stands for the protection wing of the party, sits on two boards of railroad directors.

John S. Barbour, who represents the south In tills Democratic council of war, Is vice president of the Virginia Midland.

Mr. Sewall, who goes on to fill up and pay out, Is president of live railroads. Herman Oelrlchs. who Is from the president's own state, Is the agent In this country or a rorelgn steamship company.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 18, 1888.

FBEDERICK'S LAST DIARY.

It Was a Running Commentary on Social and Political Affairs. There has been a great deal of gossip of the wildest and most scandalous kind about Prussian state papers which are alleged to have been found missing at Potsdam after the death of the emperor Frederick, and it is stated that they were handed by the Empress Victoria to the queen when her majesty was at Charlottenburg, and that they are now in England. These stories, according to the London World, culminated in the malevolent inventions of an evening paper about the "virtual imprisonment" of the Empress Victoria, which, however, were such palpable fictions that they excited no attention whatever, either at home or abroad. The real truth, however, is that the dairy of the Emperor Frederick cannot be found. The emperor had kept a journal during more than thirty years (ever since his marriage), which was not a mere record of his movements and occupations, but an elaborate running commentary upon public affairs—both political and social —very much in the style of Mr. Grenville's memoirs. This dairy was contained in thirty immense volumes, each being secured by a lock, and directly after the emperor's death his successor, at the request of Prince BismarcK, demanded that the whole of them should at once be given up, in order that his majesty's reminiscences might be placed among the Prussian state archives at Berlin. The empress refused to surrender the volumes, and when a second and a more peremptory application was made after the emperor's funeral, her majesty announced that the diary had been taken to England by the queen, and that she would probably publish it, as it had been her husband's particular wish that it should be published after a suitable revision, and that he had requested her to act as his literary executrix. The empress, I hear, added that justice to the late emperor's memory requires this publication, as he would derive as much benefit from it as her father, the prince consort, did from the publication of Sir Theodore Martin's work. The idea of such a proceeding is, however, very obnoxious to Prince Bismarck, who apprehends that the empress might take what he would- regard as an extremely inadequate view of her duties as editor, and, of course, the Emperor William objects very strongly to any publication which "might reflect upon German policy in the ppt, or which might be in any way injurious to what he conceives the present or future interest of the empire. Here the dispute rests, but one may predict with confidence that there will no publication for some years to come, and that when the diary does appear it will contain nothing to which either the emperor or hie advisers can reasonably take exception.

AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

Unable to Speak From Her Coilin—Horrified With Fear of lleing Burled Alive. Emma Traxel, the young lady who so narrowly escaped being buried alive near here, says a New Philadelphia, Ohio, special, has recovered sufliciently from the shock to converse on the subject, and thus relates her feelings: She was perfectly conscious from the moment of her supposed death, and knows every move that was made in the room, and heard every word that was spoken. She heard the family make arrangements for the funeral, and knew the hour. She heard the family gather about her when the supposed last breath had been taken, and felt the burning tears drop on her face and the loving imprint of the kiss on her lips, but was unable to make the least sign indicating life. She has a twin sister who was especially affectionate, and this sister was loth to leave her, and when she was prepared for burial made frequent visits to the side of Emma and kissed her over and over again.

During Saturday night, when the watchers would visit her every half hour to dampen the cloth upon her face, her feelings were horrible in extreme. Toward morning she seemed to become more reconciled to her horrible state, aad realized the fact that she was to be buried alive. All day Sunday streams of visitors and sympathetic friends crowded the house, and she recognized every voice and the many kisses from her old school mates. When the coflin arrived and four of the neighbors lifted her tenderly and placed her in it, she thought she would certainly break the awful spell, but could not.

She heard distinctly tho work of the undertaker screwing down the lid of the coflin, and the minutes seemed to her like years.

She could distinctly hear the clock, and knew the hours as they passed by. An awful moment was when a member of the family riased her'head to clip a lock of hair to keep as a lasting remembrance of poor Emma.

On Sunday evening at o'clock, all at once, as if by supernatural strength, she a iddenly arose in her coflin and spoke. To say that the attendants and friends were frightened would be putting it very mild. Some rushed from the house and others screamed with fright and refused for a long time to believe that Emma had really returned to life. The feelings of the poor girl can only be imagined. The thirty-six hours she lay in a trance seemed to her more than a lifetime. There is every indication that she will survive the shock and yet live to a good old age.

POLITICAL COMMENT.

Omaha Republican: It Is very considerate In the Democratic committee to divide their allegiance between the English bandana and the American flag.

Philadelphia Press: President Cleveland would And It easy to write his August letter of acceptance If he could begin by blotting out his December message.

New York Press: Now If Mr Cleveland would only go to Great Britain he might receive Just such an ovation on landing there as Mr. Blaine received when he got home.

Boston Herald (Dein.): Mr. Blaine came to town yesterday and brought considerable Republican enthusiasm with him. The Democrats are waiting for the gravel trains to arrive.

Boston Transcript: The Democratic papers announce that large gains for their iwirty may be expected in Vermont. Any man may expect what he has a mind to In a free country. Expecting Democratic gains In Vermqnt Is an offense against commonsense only.

Pittsburg Chronicle: A straw Indicative of the political wind comes from PlanevlUe. Mass. The town has a mugwump club of sixty-five n.embers who all voted tor Cleveland In 1884. In 1888 every man will vote for Harrison and Morton.

St. Paul Pioneer-Press: "Now, my Prohibition friend." remarked a Republican, "If high license really closes the saloons "Who's talking about closing the saloons? Our main Idea, as Prohibitionists, Is to help elect Grover Cleveland.',

Detroit Tribune: The Republican party Is just as strongly In favor of reducing the surplus as the Democratic party Is, but It Is not In favor of doing It by reducing the earning capacity of American labor or the productive capacity of American Industries.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette: Jay Gould has declared for Cleveland, and will prove his love with a |50,000 check. Kor these courtesies the Republican party Is very thankful. Whom the gods would destroy politically they lirst have Jay Gould get "stuck on."

New York Sun: We observe with satisfaction that no ardent free trader Is now proposing to turn Sam Randall neck and heels out of the Democratic party, and all Ills friends with him Thus wisdom Increiises as the election approaches, when every vote will count.

We have all the money we need In this canvass. —["Cal" Brlce. Yes. Gould, Havemejer, Scott, Brlce and all the other monopolists have been "putting up" liberally for the Democrats, but money doesn't always win elections.—[Globe-Democrat.

Cleveland Leader: Democratic appeals for farmers' votes are ludicrous on general principles. The agricultural class Is probably the mo»t moral. God-fearing and liberty-loving of all the large elements of our population, and consequently It has nothing In common with Democracy.

New York Tribune: Just as we expected. The presidential campaign, on the Issue deliberately selected by President Cleveland, has barely begun, and the organs of his policy are already lying about the Issue with as little shame ami as much cowardice as they lied lour years ago.

Chicago Journal: The loud talk about cheap clothing and cheap food Indulged In by the free trade Democrats will not fool the workingmen. Men who labor for a living know that cheap products can only be prodnced by cheap wages, and that Is what they are continually struggling against.

Pittsburg Chronicle: Chairman Brlce, of the Democratic national committee, has had a fellow arrested for "working" Democratic postmasters for contributions ostensibly to aid In carrying on the Democratic campaign. Mr. Brlce considers this lield peculiarly his own. and will not tolerate any Invasion of If by outsiders.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The main speaking on the Democratic side In Indiana Is to be done byVest, Blackburn, Mills, Reagan, and several other "well-known confederate statesmen. Evidently the idea Is to lire the Democratic heart by recalling

General Morgan's celebrated raid Into that state in the Interest of Tree trade and servile labor. Indiiuiapolls Journal: Nobody has heard that Mr. Cleveland means to withdraw, but he Is getting some pretty strong hints. Here Is the Democratic Albany Times saying: "It Is about time tor the party to call another convention and nominate a candidate who will accept on another kind or platform—not only accept but be acceptable." It Is to be feared that It Is everlastingly too late for the party to save Itself from destruction by this course. Its fate was sealed at St. Louis.

Globe Democrat: A good many Harrison and Hill clubs are being rormed now In New York. This Is a phase of the canvass which Mr. Cleveland did not expect a rew weeks ago. Perhaps t»'ls Is one of the reasons why he delays writing Ills letter of acceptance. The chances of the Democratic national ticket til New York now seem to be desperate, and with New York against him It makes no difference to Cleveland whether he accepts the nomination or not.

The I'uragraplier.

Boston Post: The thermometer must register even though it does not vote. Life: Filling a long-felt want—the dentist hammering gold into a cavity.

Duluth Paragrapher: The nverage barber doesn't hesitate to scrape an acquaintance.

The Ocean: Why does the fat woman who snores always get the berth next to the victim to insomnia?

Picayune: Pay heed to the idle rumor. Some day the idle roomer may fail to pay his room rent.

Detroit Free Press: This is the Yankee Doodle country, but Canada is the Yankee boodle country.

Philadelphia Call: Constant ReaderThere are several large coin collectors in the United States. Jay Gould is probably the largest.

Burlington Free Press: The latest dictum from Asbury Park is, "The bathing suit must go." In our opinion it is fast enough already.

Smithville (CSa.) News: The deaf and dumb man who spent a night in the Smithville guard house is now pleading his own case in Albany.

Harper's Bazar: Don't hurry. The man who died in a hurry died in-August. There is no more poisonous mixture than hurry diluted with humidity.

Puck: The ladies are more modest about their intellectual than their physical attractions. However low the corsage may be, the forehead is usually concealed by a bang.

Tlie Hayliiiii Itevolution.

Another revolution in Hayti was to be expected about this time. The so called republic has been in a state of chronic revolt ever since it became a republic. The only matter for surprise is that the late president, General Salomon, retained power so long. He was first elected in 1870 and was re-elected in 1886. Though he is now hiding in a British frigate to escape the revolutionists, it is not unlikely that his partisans may yet prevail and that he may be restored to power. The condition of the republic is deplorable. It is loaded down with debt, foreign and domestic, on which no interest has been paid for years. The politicians who control affairs are corrupt and ignorant scoundrels who live by plunder.

Female Suffrage Declared Unconstitutional. The Supreme court of Washington Territory has decided that the Woman SufTrago act is unconstitutional, the grounds of the opinion being based on the fact that the legislature exceeded its powers granted by congress. The court holds that the word "citizen" in the organtic act, means only males. This is the second female suffrage act that has been declared unconstitutional in Washington Territory.

Miss Ilattie Blaine has been voted the beauty of the Blaine family. She has pink cheeks, a fair complexion and nutbrown hair. She is exceedingly girlish in her actions. Miss Margaret Blaine seems to have taken some of her mother's duties upon herself.

General Sheridan's career was indissolubly associated with Michigan. He was married by Bishop Thomas Foley, in whose diocese Michigan then was. The regiment in which Sheridan first achieved fame, and from which he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general, was the Second Michigan cavalry, recruited from the neighborhood of Detroit and when he was placed in his narrow bed, the last words were said by Bishop John S. Foley, who is now bishop-elect of Detroit.

While Ned Smith, son of Postmaster Frank II. Smith, at Sycamore, III., was carrying the mails in a cart to the depot Monday night, August C, he was assaulted by John Connell, known as "Wild Jack." Smith's nose was broken and he was badly bruised by kicks about the abdomen. He was taken into a house in the vicinity and the mail abandoned and left in the street. The difficulty seems to have arisen over the right of way on the sidewalk. Deputy United States Marshal Dutcher arrived Wednesday and arrested Connell and took him to Chicago, where he will appear before the government authorities to answer the charge of interfering with the United States mail while in transit.
