The hopper at the White house does good work for a brand new machine.

Step this way, Mr. Grimee, Mr. Cham bers wants to see you at Indianapolis.

It io givoa out from Wflfihiofijton with

the semblance of White house authority, that there will be no special session of

congress

Where was Andrew Grimes when six Democratic senators had the courBge to vote for a 3250 license for liquor sellers? In the Democratic soup.

The great American game will be in more favor than ever at New ork. now that IOnglish royalty has patronized it. It is a consolation, however, that the game was so thoroughly established as an American game before Anson and his players reached London that hiQglish patronage can not diminish the love the rest of the country have for the sport.

The Gazette's statement that little is known of Mr. Smiley X. Chambers, the new district attorney, here in Terre Haute is a joke, although not intended to be one. Lawyers in Terre Haute who have watched the Cunningham starch works case and the Wise will case, the two prominent lawsuits in southern Indiana in the past generation, know that Mr. Chambers has been leading counsel in both cases and has, in both cases, achieved great success.

Judge Claypool seems to be making a display of himself. A while back he was thirsting for the gore of the persons indicted for violation of the election law and was employed especially to prosecute them. Now he Hatly refuses to proceed with the prosecutions. The Sentinel published an alleged interview with him denouncing the court and every one else, and he published a card denying rn.-n.n1n o'f w, li...'.n of Democrat seems to have been thrown olf his balance by the fact that his services in helping to send Coy to the penitentiary entirely severed him from the party. It is pitiful to see a big man lloundering as he has been doing during the past few days.

The

Tkkhk IUi'tk

KxiUKs.i chuckled a good

deul over the exposure of the rascality of Sullivan at Indianapolis, because he was a Democrat. Ami when It was known that (iapen had let him have advances on his supplies for the Insane hospital, Tiik Kxi'kkss Hot otT siiullis about the possibility of (iapen having gone to Canada. The other day Mr. I.emcke, state treasurer, testified that he hud loaned public funds to Sullivan. We shall look In vain for a iiuery from Tiik Kxi'uess as to whether I.emcke Is at Indianapolis this morning. It Is another ox gored this time. -|Sulllvan Democrat.

Oh, no. Treasurer Lemcke loaned no money to Sullivan and the Democrat probably is informed as to the facts. We say, probably, because it is not likely that the venerable editor of the Democrat fails to rend the current news in which was contained the statement that Mr. Lemcke let Sullivan have advances on the hospital funds only on the order of Mr. tiapen, the treasurer.

The Irinti Americaus of Terre Haute will not be behind their brethren elsewhere and following the general example they propose to turn the St. Patrick's day celebration to good account for the cause which Mr. Parnell has so nearly brought to victory. There is now, we understand, something less than one hundred dollars in readiness to be sent to Mr. I'arnell. It is being withheld so that tiie receipts from the exercises of next Sunday evening nay be added to it. Tin. Expkf.ss can think of no call for help more deserving than this grand tight for liberty iu Ireland. Mr. l'arnell has opposed to him not only the Btroug arm of a harsh government but all the resouces of the monied classes of (ireat Britain and he needs such financial support in making the tight he is makiug with such good results.

IT MUST NOT-BE^A FARCE?

The grand jury again has made it plain that it is possible to punish the keepers of the public gambling houses in this city. For a long time we heard the excuse that evidence could not be secured. Within a few months two grand juries have returned indictments, and so we are led to believe that it is possible under the law to inflict punishment for this offense, though the police department maybe ever so willing to protect these gentlemen who, apparently, are iu control of municipal affairs.

The question arises as to whether this criminal court proceeding is to be a farce or an exemplary effort to make the violators of the law respect the law. On the occasion of the indictments a fewmonths ago the court made a mockery of the prosecution. The accused gladly put in a plea of guilty and were lined in in a uominal amount. The total cost to the gamblers was much less than they are willing to pay for the privilege of keeping open their gambling dens.

No longer can it be said that it is im­

possible to reach the offenders through the criminal court and now let us see how persistently the authorities in that direction can enforce the law. A periodical fine in lieu of a license will not suffice. The people cannot be "gulled" forever.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

A successful experiment baa been made with the apparatus to be used in New York for the execution of crimina.s by electricity. That is to say, a dog, a calf and other animals were killed in a manner entirely satisfactory to the experts. The men hereafter condemned to death by the courts of New ork are to be secretly done away with on this machine.

The new law provides for the utmos eecresy and so we see one step taken from the hideous gallows. What will be the next step? If the warning and example of the gallows are to be abandoned what other end is obtained by the death penalty. It can not be urged that it is to put out of the way a human being who might repeat his crime of murder. If prevention of crime by the convicted man is the object that object can be accomplished by his confinement.

The New York departure is, undoubtedly, a forward movement to abolish capital punishment, though it may not be so considered even by those who are foremost in it. The eye for an eye and tooth

for

a tooth doctrine can not alone

uphold the death penalty and if you take from it the lesson intended for others than the one who expiates the crime you leave nothing else to support the extreme punishment.

EXCHANGE ECHOES

Louisville Commercial: What has become of the destroying surplus which the Democratic editors and orators saw piling up In the treasury vaults before the election? Isn't It stlJj a menace to the prosperity of the country? And if it is, why are these patriots silent?

Detroit Tribune: (ieneral H. V. Boynton says that the Improvements made around President Cleveland's Hed Top propeity at the people's expense have enhanced Its value $(KMX)0. The Improvements were made under the direction of commissioners appointed by Mr. Cleveland. A public ollice is a private snap.

Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette: This Is a free country. There Is nothing in the law to prevent anv honest man from sfeklng an ollice. We Imagine that much of this complaint about the scramble conies from a few who Imagine they boss the pig troughs and that no other snout Is to be put In until they have had their till Let the boys go 111. The more the merrier. If they don't see what the want let them ask far It.

Milwaukee Sentinel: The South must be chagrined that It escapes the vituperation which Its politicians led It to expect from the Inaugural address. General Harrison speaks like a wise and kindly counsellor and Indicates no purpose to crack the constitution to cure an evil, the magnitude ot which he fully recognizes. While this must serve to allay the tears of the South, the earnest and serious statement of the consequences of the course of Southern politicians Is more calculated to persuade the world of the gravity of the situation than any expected vituperation..

HAPPINESS ON THE WABASH.

Jerry Dewlap's I'ut-up Job to (Jet Some Hroad.

The New York Sun is responsible for this new story, located on the banks of our own Wabash river: "Heard of the Wabash river, I reckon?" he queried, as he combed his long yellow whiskers with his fingers and pulled down his vest. "Yes." "Pobably never heard of Jerry Dewlap? Jerry lives on the banks of the Wabash, and he's pizen biled down. About a month ago he cum to town one day and said a boat had upsot in the bend above his house and drowned two men. He wanted us to go up and help drag fur the bodies. We was willing, of course, and Jerry proposed we try a plan he said had worked in thousands of cases. It's an ole belief with some folks, you know, that if a loaf of bread is fiung on the water it'll float to whar a dead body is lying and then stop. We reckoned to try it, and every man chipped in and we took about a hundred loaves. "Jerry bo6sed the job," continued the man with the yellow whiskers, "and we got out two boats loaded with bread and keerfully dropped the loaves overboard. Some of 'em went humping along at the rate of six miles an hour, while others sort o' circled around and went off slowly. We used up the hundred loaves, and Jerry was taking up a collection to send to town after more, when a feller come up stream in a canoe and called out: 'What ar' you uns a doing over thar?' 'A-rising the dead,' I answered. "'Oh, ye are!" he continued. 'Well, when I come around the bend old Jerry's wife was out in a boat a-picking up them loaves, and I reckon 6he'd got up to ninety-five! You uns had better send down sonie pork and 'taters to keep company!' "Well, sir, that ar' was a put-up job on us by ole Jerry to git a heap o' bread without working fur it. and when we took him ashore to administer a great moral lesson, what did he do but turn to and outrun the best of us and git clear off!"

LITERARY NOTES.

New York Graphic: Mrs. Humphrey Ward created no greater sensation in the religious world by the publication of "Robert Elsmere" than she has in the literary and publishing world by her latest audacity. Having completed the manuscript of another novel, Mrs. Ward i6 not rushing around to lay it on the. publisher's desk and beg and beseech of him to let his readers peruse it. She went through all that long ago, and the agony of rejection was experienced time and again before she suddenly leaped into fame as one of the greatest living novelists. She has completely turned the tables on her publishers by announcing that up to a certain day at 12 o'clock m., after the manner of the moat stately government advertisements for proposals, she will receive propositions from publishers for the production of her book, and will then decide between them. Mrf Ward has a business view of literature, which will strike the average cold and stony-hearted publisher right between the eyes—likewise in his pocket. But Mrs. Ward commands a situation and any view she takes is pardonable. She has a brain commodity and proposes to sell it in the highest market. The publishers will grumble, but bid high.

No topic is of more importance than the construction, especially ic crowded cities, of non-combustible buildings. Edward Atkinson, in the Centurj, has a very timely article on "Slow Burning Construction." He shows that the very worst and most dangerous of examples of architecture are our prisons, asylums hospitals, school buildings, colleges, and after these, churches, hotels, and theaters. These statistics are astonishing that in 1887 there were burned in the United States 45 hospitals,asylums, almshouses or jails, in many cases with greBt loss of life. There were also burned in the same year 12G college buildings and libraries, 1-4.0 churches, 52 theaters and opera houses, and 515 hotels—or one and four-tenths per day. That this risk of property and life is unnecessary he shows from the progress made in New England in the way of building noncombustible or slow burning factories and warehouses. It is desirable that legislators give more attention to this subject.

The March Table Talk appears in new and prettily improved cover. The contents this month begin with a poem entitled "A Sweet Maid then "A Japanese Dinner "The Olive in California No. VI of Mrs. Rorer's "How to Live on a Thousand a Year Tillie M&y Forney's chatty "Luncheon and Tea Toilets "Mrs. Ruskin's Lenten Dinners "Hints for Getting up Entertainments "Decorative Work for the Household "Culinary Maxims "Ethel's New Home Kate Catherwood's "Fashion able Craze "The Career of an Anglomaniac a poem by Struthers, "The Wind of March "Baths and Unguents of the Ancients" and "Old Probs and the Poet." The two great features of the magazine, Mrs. Rorer's "Menus for the Month" and "Answers to House keepers' Inquiries," are there as usual.

To the March Harper, Mr. Charles Dudley Warner contributes an exceedingly readable article entitled, "Comments on Canada." Bjornson continues his papers on "Norway and Its People," and Curt Van Zelan's "New Vienna" is full of intelligent and interesting illustrations, although the text is rather

The second number of the new literary venture has appeared, known as the Methodist Magazine. Among the more prominent papers are "Striving," by Clarence Brent Archer "The Church of the Future," by the Rev. T. D. Welker "The Past Nicine Fathers," by Dr. George Curtiss "Indiana Culture," by Meredith Nicholson "Effective Ministry," by E. P. Brown "Relation of the Pulpit to Politics," by the Rev. C. E. Asbury, and "Methodist Itineracy," by J. H. Cissel, D. D.

There are several matters discussed in the current number of the Forum that are of large political and natural interest. Canada, its resources, destiny, etc., are discussed by Professor Schurman, of Cornell university, and the causes of railway demoralization are ably handled by Isaac L. Rice. The next postal reform, which Dr. Leonard Wolaey Bacon thinks should be the delivery of letters by carriers to country as well as city people is urged energetically by that gentleman.

RECLAIMING SWAMP LANDS.

Tl#

Bryant Dltcli in Prairie Creek Township Runs Through Government Lund.

What is known as the Bryant ditch, in Prairie Creek township, has been completed, Drainage Commissioner Fisher has filed his fiaal report, and it has been approved by the court. The total cost of the ditch has been $31,454.11. The ditch is about three miles in length, and was begun about three years ago. It begins at the levee at the head of Greenfield bayou, runs in a southwesterly direction through Stone, and thence to the southwest through Grassy pond to the river. Both of these ponds lie in the western part of Prairie Creek township, Stone pond being sections eighteen and nineteen and Grassy pond in sections thirteen, twenty-four, and twenty-five, the latter lying one-half of a mile east of the former and containing about two hundred acres. It is an open ditch and varies in width from Bix to 1(3 feet and in depth from three to six feet. Almost all the water has been drained from the places mentioned, and it is expected that one season will be sufficient to reclaim the waste land. Some of the swamp land was owned by citizens of that vicinity but some of it is still the property of the government. Parties are now considering the matter of entering the land. By this ditch a large belt of the best land in this county will be claimed to usefulness if the ditch performs its functions as well as expected.

A Peculiar Situation,

Mr. T. W. Harper returned yesterday from Greenville. Ky., where he had been in the interest of his client. Benjamin James, who was taken from here to Greenville, where he was charged with grand larceny. James was released from jail on bail in the sum of 6100, the sheriff being on his bond. Superintendent Stout, of the police force, also went to Greenville to appear against James, but Harper was on his way home before the superintendent arrived. Mr. Harper says that they have no sheriff there, in fact, that they elect a sheriff regularly, but the commissioners remove him. The reason, he says, that they do this-is that the county is in debt for about as much as it is worth and they will not allow a

sheriff to serve, because he might be required to sell the county at public sale to pay the debt.

THE CLEVELAND'S DISCOURTESY•

How President and Mrs. Harrison Were Treated at the White House.

Every one regrets that Mrs. Cleveland should have Bhown herself as wanting in courtesy and common decency as her husband, says Ruhama in the GlobeDemocrat. She did not go to the capital to witness the ceremonies, but remained at the White house until sharp 12 o'clock, and then, at the moment that her lease expired, drove away. When the Harrison family arrived there was no mistress of the White house to greet them, to offer hospitality and go through the gracious form of passing over the mansion to its new mistress. The lunch was there on the table and had to offer itself, as, during the hour and a half that the mansion was without tenant or any one in charge, the servants had been cefebrating by themselves, and there were one or two of them very drunk and offensive. The whole proceeding was disgraceful. Mr. Cleveland did ride as far as the White house with President Harrison, but, after a cup of bouillon in the disturbed dining-room, drove away. The

ClevelaDds

showed

discourtesy in every^^tgasible way to their successors and Hid nothing to show personal respect ind good feeling at the inauguration timp. They did not attend the ball, nor didkny of the cabinet families. Mr. Cleveland gave out that this great delicacy jof feeling and his love of self-effacement prevented him from making himself injany way promi nent at his

STILL RUSHING TO TIIE GOLD FIELDS.

The Mining Excitement iu I.ower California Shows no Signs of Abatement.

Los Anukles, Cal.. March 13.—The mining excitement shows no abatement and thousands are rushing to the scene, says a special to the Chicago Tribune. By persevering work and a stout burro, a correspondent at the mines reached TiaJuana to-day and telegraphed the following: The International company are said to be telegraphing to the City of Mexico for a concession to the peninsula. They have thirty or forty men here now prospecting and locating claims. Persons coming here with horses should bring plenty of feed, as there is none here. The Mexicans don't want the earth, for they can't sell it but they do call for half of it at Tia juana in the matter of duties in crossing the line. For instance, a partyhad just 625 worth of provisons and they were charged $21 duties. Another man paid S13 on a saddle worth about one dollar. The people are robbed right and left. As soon as the crowd got across the line they were informed that they would have to pay 20 per cent, of their gains to get back. For every dollar taken out here the government will try to get a half. People who come here are going to have a hard road to travel unless the Americans stand together and protect themselves. For this reason bloodshed is feared, and it wouldn't be surprising to learn of an outbreak at any time. At Tia Juana gold is beginning to come in rapidly. A Mexican came ill to-day from the Santa Clara mines bringing £55 in gold nuggets, the result of four days' panning. He bought groceries and returned to the mines. About three hundred people passed through Tia Juana to-day for the mines. The total number to date is estimated at one thousand eight hundred. The Mexican custom house officers are working day and night to get the prospectors through. Many miners are buying groceries at Tia Juana, taking them across the line on their backs and buying burros on Mexican soil. D. C. Kline, vice president of the Yuma copper and siver mining company, representing a syndicate of St. Louis capitalists, has bought the Old Kaint.uck mine in the Julian district. Mr. Kline left yesterday for St. Louis to forward machinery and will put a large force of men at work as soon as he arrives. It was reported that Governor Waterman had received and refused an offer of 83,000,000 for hia Stonewall mine, which was made by Chicago capitalists. The reason for his refusal to sell lies in the fact that the ore in sight at present is worth S5,000,000.

An Associated Press dispatch sent out to-night says: Raports that the stories of the gold discoveries were started in the interest of land companies are freely circulated. A wholesale firm here to-day received a telegram from their foreman, who has just returned from the mining district and is now in San Diego, which says: "Tell everybody to investigate. The mines are a sell."

THE INDIANA APPOINTMENTS.

tiossip at Indianapolis About Porter, New and Chambers.

The announcement of ex-Governor Porter's nomination for United States minister to Italy was no surprise to his friends, and it was not unexpected by Mr. Porter himself, says the News of last evening. The position was offered him some time ago, and after careful consideration he decided to accept it. He refrained,- however, from giving any thought to the matter, because it was possible that some reason mignt arise why the appointment could not be made, and he was determined not to permit himself to entertain expectations which might cause him to feel disappointed. It is believed by some of his friends that he would have preferred to go to Berlin or to Paris, but be says himself that Italy was his choice, because it is a country where there is so much of ancient and modern interest, and because it is visited by so many Americans. He has been deeply interested in the country for some time, and he believes the surroundings will be in every way agreeable. The salary is $12,000 a year. It will probably not be sufficient to pay expenses, and the demands will not be as great as upon the ministers to England, Germany, Russia and France, where onijr very,

ri£h

rr-n are

sent usually, beem&fr io' risingto toe social requirements of their position they necessarily spend from fifteen thousand to twenty-five thousand dollars a year more than the salary paid by the government. Some opportunity is afforded to travel. The minister is allowed leave of absence for sixty days each year, and at any time may leave his post for forty-eight hours. It is expected by his friends that Mr. Porter will gratify a desire that he has long felt to spend enough time on the continent to become thoroughly familiar with the customs of the different countries. Mr. Porter will probably start to Rome within a month. He will be accompanied by hie son, Mr. George T. Porter, and his daughter, Miss Anna Porter. His son will be secretary of legation, the salary of which is $1,800 a year.

It has been understood for several days that it was the intention of the president to give Indiana two important foreign appointments, one of which was to go to Mr. Porter and the other to Mr. New. The Austrian mission is the one that will probably be offered Mr. New, if he has not already been asked to accept it. When the nomination will be made is not known. Mr. New leaves for Washington and New York to-night. He says he is going' on business. It may be that politics sometimes has business in it. The impression has become general that Mr. New will control the distribution of patronage in Indiana, and in consequence he is besieged continually by office-seekers. A dozen may be seen about his ofiice during any half hour of the day.

The unexpected appointment of S. N. Chambers as district attorney is said to be due mainly to his intimate association with General Harrison as an opposing counsel in the trial of the Wise will case at Sullivan during the six weeks preceding the nomination at Chioago. He impressed General Harrison at that time as possessing uncommon ability as a lawyer, aud as Chambers was one of the most devoted supporters of Harrison, he was kept in mind for a good appointment.

Programme For the Celebration of the Day by the A. O. H.

The following is the programme for the celebration of St. Patrick's day, next Sunday, by the Ancient Order Hibernians. The exercises will occur at Dowling hall in the evening, and the proceeds will Ije appropriated to the Parnell defense fund, in which the Irish citizens of this city are evincing much ipterest. They seem to be almost unanimous in the belief that the Parnell defense fund should be made as large as possible and are making an especial effort to make Sunday evening's entertainment a success for that reason. They have prepared the following excellent programme:

CUT HER DAUGHTER OFF

Willi a Pittance I'nlesa Slu* Leaves the Episcopal SiBteriiool.

PHIT.ADEL.rnTA, March 13.—The will of the widow of the late Commodore DeIIaven, of the United States navy, giving her daughter Jessie only 8300, if she does not leave the Episcopal Sisterhood in two years, in which case she is to receive her full share of the estate, has excited a great deal of comment here. Mrs. DeHaven was a devout Episcopaian. She was originnlly Mary Norris, of Philadelphia. The commodore died leaving three daughters, one of whom is now married. Four years ago Miss Jessie entered the sisterhood without any objection from her mother, and has given her life to the order ever since. She is now in the convent of St. John the Baptist, in New York. To a reporter who visited the De Haven homestead at Ardmore yesterday, Miss De Haven's sister said: "My mother and sister had the most tender affection for each other. My mother often visited her at the convent, and my sister frequently came here. My sister understands as well as I do the meaning and wisdom of the clause." "Then the provision was not made to induce her to renounce the sisterhood?" "Oh! no, indeed it was for a private reason. My sister would not renounce the sisterhood for a million dollars."

Mis De Haven is known in the religious order to which she has devoted her life as Sister Jessie

Gertrude, and istissigned

to duty at Morristown. She is, however, under the immediate and sole control of the mother superior of the Episcopal Church.
