What is this scheme for extending the city limits?

The Gazette protests too much in behalf of our own Jekyll-Hyde.

We have seen, somewhere, the accusation that Governor Hovey was not a fighter. Singlehanded and alone he has whipped Jim Willard's brigade.

We have heard it said that public gambling brings visitors to town, and therefore helps business. However true this may be the grand jury is aware that it has caused persons to leave town.

There are many good authorities who hold that no such thing as hydrophobia was ever certainly ascertained. It well not to get alarmed about mad dogs but go right on with the dog-killing.

We see it stated that Indiana "can not have the whole cake" of patronage While that may be true we will find consolation in the fact that we have taken the slice that contained the big

prize.

City Attorney Taylor's answer in the injunction proceedings in the Main street matter is too ridiculous for the occasion. If he did not believe there was any law on bis side he should have said so and nat have undertaken to be humorous.

Since Keprerentative Linck has been re stored to his seat in the house, Jim W il lard refuses to take part in the proceed ings, yet bearing resentment for the blow on his face. Jim can transfer his services directly to the third house if he doesn want to appear on the floor of the other house.

Our esteemed contemporary frequently refers to General Harrison as "Deacon" Harrison, the awkward purpose being to make it appear that the president is a hypocrite, but when Andy Grimes, the sanctimonious Democratic trickster, is caught squarely and fairly in paying $50to a block of live voters the Gazette has nothing to say.

The Sullivan Democrat in commenting on the new cabinet says that Governor Rusk is too lazy to comb his hair. Some years ago Jeremiah Husk was not lazy.

TIIK EXPKKSS

refers to the time

when the editor of the Democrat was opposing the activity of Jeremiah Kusk and others who were not so la/.v that they could not march with Sherman to the sea.

Governor Hovey makes a point about as directly aud forcibly as has been made by any man in public life in this state in late years. In approving the election measure, he said:

Approved, because it may tend to purify our election laws, but I am afraid it will be found. In practice, intricate, obscure and expensive. Without the enactment of a registration law, as demanded by our constitution, our elections will re main open to corruption and fraud.

The Journal's Washington correspondent betrays a misunderstanding of the Indianapolis situation when lie remarks that "a vacancy will probably le made very soon in tlie ofliee of United States district attorney" in this city. The otllce Is already vacant. Mr. Cla.vpool makes no attempt to 1111 It, and where Tomtit Bailey Is a vacuum always exists.—[Indianapolis Journal.

If anew district attorney will make the effort to secure evidence obtainable here in Terre Haute there will be a vacuum in the state senate.

The Illinois legislature has given the telephone companies a black eye by reducing the rates. For cities of the size of Terre Haute the rate is tixed at Si, whereas here in Indiana our third house with the aid of the Other two bodies of Jim Willard's legislature have restored the rate to 5. Some day we will all appreciate how we have been manipulated by the company in this last legislative act as affects telephone rates in this state.

The house at Indianapolis has decided not to pay Con. Meagher spoOO for his expenses in the contested election case of two years ago. And this reminds us that some of our Democretic friends who are hard driven to justify the Grimes infamy try to offset it with the unseating of Meagher. There is no analogy in the cases. Meagher was

not eligible. The Grimes claim for the seat was that some of the honest ballots cast for Mr. Bichowsky were printed on paper not quite so thick, so wide or so thin, it made little difference which, as they might have been made at the paper

PKKPAIU.

Our contemporary, after the manner of Boss Tweed, says if you won't have a good pavement on Main street because there is no money to put it down, you can't have a clean street because there is no money to pay for cleaning it. We notice that there was enough money to pay the Gazette more than 8100 for advertising for bids for the new pavement. At the time the Gazette was "earning this money one of its editors admitted that the court would decide against letting the contract. However, this did not prevent the collection of this money as it did not prevent the payment of nearly 81,000 junketing expenses of councilmen and perhaps 81,000 outlay in other ways for this new pavement. Not less than 82,000 has bean wasted and that 82,000 would have done good if expended in cleaning the streets.

ANDY GRIMES AND HIS BLOCK OF FIVE. Honest injun, what does the Gazette think of the piece of campaign work on the part of Mr. Andy Grimes in giving the 850 to five men at the election last November? Our contemporary, feeling the oppression of public sentiment against the good brother, the sanctimonious Jekyll-Hyde, of Vigo county, is dodging the question when it talks about distinguishing marks on the tickets. The Gazette charged that corruption had been resorted tom the elec tion of Bichowsky. The Sentinel anc other Democratic newspapers in th state took up the cry, but the only corruption brought out in the proceedings instituted in beh&lf of Mr. Grimes was thepoBitive and uncontradicted testi rnony that he had paid live voters "block of five," 810 each.

Honest injun, what doea the Gazette think of that incident of the campaign As yet our contemporary has made no comment on it. Now is a good time to say something.

THE EXPKKSS

does not

ask its contemporary to address the reply to THE EXPKESS

because that would be

EXCHANGE ECHOES

Macon Telegraph: Recognizing tlie dangers of ignoran t, he refuses to acknowledge that there Is a tie .hat binds the Ignorant of the South to gether He ignores the race question.

I'hha le'plila Times iDem.): Somehow the attitude of Messrs. Mills and R:mdall recalls the familiar story of the two boys, one of whom was doing nothing and the other was helping Bill.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: The Duluth Tribune calls upon the legislature to pass a bill making prize-lighting a criminal offense. The law would have to be retroactive to cover past events. There has been no real prlze-tightlng within the last decade.

Hartford Courant: Perhaps no part of President Harrison's address will command more immediate. general and hearty assent than the part ia which he says his say about immigration and «aturalization. We have gone too far in the way of cheapening American citizenship.

Troy Press (Dem.): The people like bold talk. The promise ol a vigorous lorelgn policy in the inaugural address will Increase Mr. Harrison's popularity. If the promise be followed up by action he will be seconded by all the people." No country dare challenge us to war and none should be permitted to Impose upon us.

New York Graphic: Wherever the high license system of controlling, regulating, and restricting the liquor trallie has been adopted, excellent results are attained. Boston had 2,G0U saloons last year to which licenses were granted at t-WK) to $1,000. Tills does not include club or druggist licenses. The license tees have been raised to $1,000 and 1.500 and only 7JO licenses will be granted for the year, beginning March 1. It is safe to say. without relerrlng to the figures, th'it no city In any prohibition suite can show fewer saloons to population than Boston.

"BEN" WAS STRAPPED.

Tlie rrosldeut Was "Hard p'' Hut He Wouldn't Borrow. A geutleman who returned here, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, from Washington bui a few days ago says that he was chatting with a politician and a lawyer from Xew York state about the cabinet aud other matters when the latter said: "I guess Ben Harrison has been more worried about money matters than making up his official family since his election." "Why?" the Pittsburger asked. "Well, I guess Harrison has never known before and is never likely to know again what it is to be strapped for money as he has been since the Rupublican party made him their standardbearer. You see, he has little beside his profession as a source of income, and for more than eight months he has been obliged to abandon his practice as a lawyer. At the same time his expenses have been quadrupled. His friends have been aware of this all along, and several of those who stand closest to him have ventured to tender him assistance, only in every case to receive a polite reply that he could not think of accepting it. There never was a man of greater independence than Harriso*. He has pulled through as best he could, but I'll warr that he will not be sorry to get the t»:st installment of the $50,000 a year which the nation will pav htm."

FASHION'S LATEST WHIMS.

The study of the beautiful that began with Oscar Wilde has given us so many tiresome aesthetes, and placque-painting ideals'of various sorts is doing more and more for us in the way of dress.

There is no douLt about it, fashion is largely reformed, and when that-is accomplished a good many thousand women are affected who would never have budged for all the moral and health drees reformers in the world.

I really think, says a writer in the New York Graphic, that even that stronghold of ugliness, mens dress, will finally have to succumb to the artistic renaissance of the latter part of the nineteenth century.

It ia to be hoped that it will not be too much changed. It surely would be present if men's legs were not represented to society as cylinders, the same size from top to bottom, but I am sure 1 don't want them put back into bngntcolored silks and satins. Then they would be sure to get frivolous and extravagant and absorbed in trying to outshine each other, and if they got on that tack what good would they be to us. They would have no more admiration to spare from home consumption than an actor has. Then there would be the disadvantage of not knowing whether their clothes would match yours beforehand or not.

Suppose you went to a ball in sbrimp pink, and the man you were sweetest on was dressed in scarlet, what could you do? You'd simply have to sacrifice your heart's tenderest predilections to dance with a stupid old duffer in navy blue because his clothes would harmonize with yours, and the other fellow's when alongside of yours would give everybody the toothache. And this would not be all. The passion for dress would grow apace in the masculine breast, if they did not wear a uniform.

It is not any real differences in their natures that makes men comparatively indifferent about their clothes, it is simply that with their present dresB they have little room to exploit their frivolities, and if we are at all smart we will not give them any, for though they rave enough about our bills now, it would be nothing to what they would do if they were eaten up with a desire to spend it all on themselves. Let the revival of beauty in dress be mainly confined to the sex with whom dress is a profession.

This spring we are going to be more picturesque on the street than living man has ever seen us. The result giving taste and fancj|full reign in tea gowns in the first place is becoming apparent in street frocks and dinner and evening dresses. Everybody now has discovered certain things that are becoming to her, and she'll stick to them through the wreck of set styles and crash of fashion authorities.

The importations at the big shops show that we are to do the picturesque on the streets this spring as never before in this generation. Oae item alone bears witness to how far we have gotten from the tailor-made severity of a few years ago. Sleeves in lots of summer gowns for general wear will b© genuine short sleeves, not reaching within several inches of the elbow. New styles in long gloves are already being imported with reference to the needs of these sleeyes.

PraperieB will be very largely dis

breadth being the proper piace in these gowns for ornamentation. The tour nure worn will be very slight.

In thin goods, baby waists, with belts and sashes, will be in high favor, but when tight waists are worn, as with light cloths or silks, they will be con tinued from the skirts in unbroken lines, making the old princess effcct. One benefit will be prominent through these varieties of style, and that is that the gowns will be made according to the goods.

In the past we have seen a great deal of India naull made up in a manner suited to broadcloth, but this year it vvill'not be the thing to make up lawns with tight coat sleeves, or to put velvet panels on Chinese silk. The goods that are suited to simple drapsry effects will be made in such styles, and thos9 suited to heavy artificial cuts and styles will be used according to them.

Some new goods are out, or rather old goods, with slight variations, for there does not really seem to be anything new possible. Alpaca is with us again. The will be used this summer in place of cashmeres and light silks. They were used in Paris last season. Only very fine qualities are brought on, and they are very handsome goods, particularly suited to what are called "stylish effects."

They ara wrought on in colors in charming shades, plain, and in striped, plaided and printed effects, the prints being similar in pattern to the printed Chinese silks. Some have deep, irregular borders in flower patterns and are labelled "Direetoire." The new "picture" patterns, in which Howers and rushes andaedge grasses are ranged as in South Kensington embroideries, from which they are taken, are to be seen in their greatest perfection in the new serges. The serges are the swellest thing in new early spring goods, and they completely belie, in their beauty and expensiveness, their ancient associations with poverty and monastic severities. Some are shown with wide ribbon borders of Sicillienne. These borders— they remind one in some cases of the gorgeous robe worn by Lady Jane when "Patience" was first brought out here, on which a whole landscape was portrayed —vary from a quarter to three-quarters of a yard in depth. Sometimes this border is torn off, leaving still a width of goods sufficient for the depth of the straight skirt and sometimes the skirt is made with the border on, it reaching nearly to the belt.

In Paris one of the coquettish pretty things being done is the lifting of these straight skirts a little at one side to show a simulated petticoat beneath, but you want to be sure that your public is educated up to it before you try it, for a woman coming over here lately has had the life pestered out of her by idiots coming to whisper in her ear that her dress was caught up.

Sleeves are going to blossom out with all their manifold possibilities of beauty, instead of being merely aj tight bag constructed on automical principles so as to permit motion. They will be often different from the dress waist, a thing to be thankful for, for there is no prettier way of contracting materials than, for instance, putting velvet sleeves in a silk body, or vice versa.

They will be slashed over different goods too, and will have a jockey or other fullness on the shoulders.

It will fill many a frugal heart with relief to know that it is going to be the thing to wear large black hats with colored dresses, "any color," the authorities say, but, of course, that means any color that a discriminating and tasteful eye finds it pretty with.

With these the hand-worked Hading I

veil will not be tolerated, bat in its etead, lace bordered veils fastened around the brim, and hanging loose over the face after the gentle fashion of our grandmothers will be much favored.

I believe in the moral influence of fashion, and I'm sure that way of wearing a veil must decrease the spirit of fastness and loudness.

These hats will be made of mixed, fancy and plain straw. The Paris milliners are preparing to use much thin stuff, silk, muslin, tulle, mulle, etc., in bonnets.

Black will be much mixed with colors on bonnets, green and black being a faorite combination. Black butterflies to perch high on bows on high little bonnets is one the of very latest swagger tip top touches.

THE PRESIDENT'S POINTER.

Congressmen Must Both Indorse and He Responsible for Applicants. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

WASHINGTON, March 7.—An emphatic declaration regarding the distribution of patronage comes from the White house to day. It is to this effect: When appointments are made the Republican congressman from the district must indorse the appointee: The mere signing of an applicant's paper will not do. The congressman must be prepared to say to the president or to the cabinet officer making the appointment: "I indorse this application and am willing to be held responsible for this man's good conduct in office. I know he is tit and will give satisfaction."

Only on sach indorsements will appointments be made. President Harrison, in speaking of this matter said he remembered very well how it was when he was senator he had signed many a paper for men whom he would not have been willing to be held responsible for. He said"he believed in the senators and representatives of the party having the controlling voice in the distribution of local patronage, but he did not believe in dispensing this patron age through them in such a way that they could dodge responsibility for bad appointments. They must take the responsibility with the patronage.

Acting on this pointer from the White house, the state delegations are meeting and formally agreeing on names which they can indorse in accordance with the president's suggestion.

Democratic congressmen from Mary land state that they have positive assurance that Federal officials who have terms of office prescribed by statute will not be disturbed until the expiration of their terms except for causes. The Maryland congressmen have been making inquiries of the president and heads of departments on this subject in order that they might advise their o&ceholding constituents when to prepare to lay down their trusts. They assert that the assurance was very positive and made to cover all cases of attentive, efficient officials. Where charges are made against an incumbent of carelessness or negligence, or using his power for improper or illegal partisan purposes, the Maryland congressmen were told such charges, when sustained, would be sufficient cause for summary removal.

The Republican congressmen from the same state had been given to understand the same thing in regard to the policy of removals. The impression that removals of officials having fixed terms will not be fnr merely partisan reasons obtain applicants in tne city Tor offices

many appi held by Democrats whose terms are not near expiration, and it is a source of great disappointment to these candidates to be told they may have to wait for some months yet.

Captain Immel, of Washington, Mo. saw the postmaster general to-day about the postoffice. Mr. Wanamaker assured him that he would begin to put Repub licans into the postoffices immediately, and told him to ask Congressman Wade to call and present his case. The pres ent postmaster at Washington is John A. Collins. His term does not expire un til June 16,1890, but when Mr. Wana maker was informed that Mr. Collins Republican predecessor was suspended he said he was ready to make the change without regard to the commission. He intimated that this would be the policy of the department, to put Republicans into the offices from which Republicans were suspended just as fast as they could be reached. The declarations made by Mr. Wanamaker to Captain Immel were important, as they were the first outlining of the course which the new postmaster general intends to pursue.

IX OTHER LEGISLATURES.

Some Notable Acts by the Solons iu Other States. The Minnesota house—59 to 39—refused to submit to a vote of th6 people a prohibition amendment.

In the Illinois house, the bill nrovid ing for the election of railroad and ware house commissioners by the people was ordered engrossed for third reading.

A bill was passed in the Wisconsin senate Thursday authorizing judges to exclude from their court-rooms all minors when obscene or scandalous cases were being heard.

A resolution wae adopted in the Michigan house providing for a special committee of three to investigate the cause of the death of two inmates of the Pontiac insane asylum and the charges of cruelty against the keepers.

The Illinois house committee on lice [Me will favorably report Representativ^ioppin's city and village option bill, and Representative McDonald's bill providing that 6150 of every $500 received for alcohol liquor license, and 150 for every 3250 received for beer license shall go to the county treasury.

The senate railread commmittee of Wisconsin decided to indefinitely postpone the Taylor railroad bill. The bill provided for a commission of three, with power to establish rates, and applied features of the inter-state commerce law to state traffic, including the long and short haul clause. It was actively opposedby the railroads.

In the Illinois state senate, yesterday, a resolution was introduced providing for the submission to a vote of the people. at the general election in November, 1S90, of a constitutional amendment. This proposed amendment provides for the raising of all taxes in the state by an assessment on land only, according to the plan proposed by Henry George. A bill was introduced forbidding the employment of children under 14 years of age in mines, factories, and stores.

Mr. Harrison's Joke.

No one charges Mr. Harrison with being a funny man, yet this one which floats in is not so bad: "What a large and handsome vice president you have, Mr. Harrison," said a lady, as Mr. Morton passed by.

Yes," replied Mr. H., with a modest smile, "I have no small vices."—I Washington Critic.

The minstrels might have been poking fun at Terre Haute in the mad dog scene, which terminated in dragging upon the stage with great effort and a big rope a dog the size of a guinea pig—without a muzzle. Rigby's monologue was good as to manner but musty as to matter. The musketeers and the visitors were pretty good, the cotton field very good and Add Ryman's address somewhat solemn and ponderous for fun. The "Pasha of Bagdad" was better than many other pieces.

Kiralfy's great spectacle, "The Black Crook," will be presented at Nayier's on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 12th and 13th. It is possible there may be a play-goer in this city who has never seen "The Black Crook," but it is not to be believed except in the most incontestable evidence. The old spectacle has been revarnished and refitted, and with the introduction of a number of startling specialties and three ballets it has been made very acceptable. The ad vance sale opens Saturday at Button's.

Faranta's theater, at New Orleans, was destroyed by fire Thursday. The "Muldoon Picnic" company lost its entire wardrobe, and the Forepaugh band lost all their uniforms and instruments. The estimated loss to the theater is 825,000, and to the adjacent property $10,ooo.

THE HUTOIIER'S BILL.

The Provisions of the Measure that Passed the Legislature. The following is a copy of the measure that has passed the legislature and gone

eral assembly of the state of Indiana, That it shall be unlawful to sell, offeri or expose for sale, in any incorporated city within this state, beef, mutton, veal, lamb or pork, for human food, except as hereinafter provided, which has not been inspected alive within the county by an inspector, or his deputy, duly ap pointed by the authorities of said county in which such beef, mutton, veal lamb or pork, is intended for consumption, and found by such inspector to be pure, healthy and merchantable, and for every such offense the accused, after conviction, shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars nor less than ten dollars.

Sec. 2. That the city council is hereby empowered and required to appoint in each incorporated city within the county one or more inspectors and deputies, furnish the necessary blanks, and decree the fees for such inspections, Provided, that where farmers slaughter cattle, sheep or swine of their own raising or feeding, for human food, no other inspection shall be required or penalty enforced than such as are already provided by law, to prevent the sale and consumption of diseased meats.

Sec. 3. Nothing herein contained shall prevent or obstruct the sale of cured beef or pork, known as dried, corned or canned beef, or smoked or salted pork, or other cured or salted meats.

Voorhees' and Gray's Orab. The factional fight between ex-Gov-ernor Gray and Senator Voorhees is at the bottom of the disgraceful course of the legislature. The contest between these two for the United States senatorship two years hence is back of the whole business. The unseating of Senator Carpenter enabled Gray to secure a holdover senator in his place and made it necessary for Voorhees to get even. This was done by unseating Senator Bichowsky, of Vigo, and seating Grimes. There was no case against Bichowsky and not even the shadow of a pretext for unseating him. It was done simply and solely to give Voorhees a vote two years hence, just as Carpenter wae unseated to make a vote for Gray. In the matter of stealing seats the two honorable aspirants are about even. The political legislation of the session has bad its origin in the same contest, and has been forced through to benefit one or the other of the aspirants. The friends of both have acted the part of political wreckers, subordinating and sacrificing every interest to the advancement of one or the other of these self-seeking demagogues. If the people have not lost their capacity for self-goverment, they should punish both of them, in the only way that demagogues can appreciate, by driving them out of public life.—[Indianapolis Journal.

Servants are easily persuaded that he is only the un dertaker's man, and nobody elGe would have sufficient assurance or cause of suspicion to intercept him. Then, the crowded drawing-room or hall offers the adept pickpocket a tempting harvest."

French paper: I have heard an eye witness tell the story of a lady who entered the monastery of Chartreuse dressed iu men's clothes, at the side of her lord and master. The fraud had been very successfully accomplished and the fair intruder visited calmly the curiosities of the cloisters, which were shown and explained by a lay brother. But habit becomes 6ecorul nature, and nature is a terrible habit. All at once the lady in the dress coat called out, "Pardon me, brother, but where is my husband gone?" The poor monk was at first quite stupefied at hearing a sweet voice come from behind the stiff, white collar, and looked terror stricken upon the hypocritical overcoat and fallacious trousers. Then some servaats came up carrying an old arm chai into which they put the intruder and carried her out of the monastery gate.

Chicago Mail: A street car going west on Madison street last Saturday after noon was loaded with women returning from the matinee. In one corner of the car a countryman 6at. When the car reached May street the conductor opened the door and called "May!" A woman left the car at this street. When it reached Ann the conductor called that name, and another woman got off. At Elizabeth street he called out "Elizabeth!" and two women went out. When he called "Ada!" still another woman got up and left. The countryman went out on the platform and said to the conductor: "Do you know where I want to get off?" "I do not." "Do you know my name?" "No, sir I don't," "Do you know all the women in Chicago?" "Well, I should say not. Why?" "Nothin' I heerd you callin' them women that have jist been gittin' off by their names, an' you knowed jist where they wanted to stop, an' I thought you was acquainted with all the people in town."
