Cyrus Busaey has been conllrmed by the senate, but has anybody found out where he comes from? —[Chicago Herald.

He was once a resident of Indiana, but what do you think of him aa an official?

Gath is down in Florida where the gout ordered him to go and with one foot on a stool is sending to the En quirer several columns a day. If this alone is not a feat without parallel may be said that he is in good humor with all that he sees. In many respects Gath is a remarkable man.

We were about to indulge the natural Terre Haute inclination to "say something mean" about Indianapolis, using the incident in the meeting of the city fathers, where the lie was passed, when THE EXPRESS office boy cracked a joke about the drunken antics of a Terre Haute councilman at Tuesday evening'f meeting. We will await another oppor tunity.

If Chief Justice Fuller wants to ap pear in the role of the stern parent he must cut off that mustache. Nothing is so impressive of a downright serious temperament as a freshly shaven upper lip. However, it may be that a man with eight daughter does not want to pose as a stern parent unless he proceeds on the theory that nothing is so well calculated to hasten these love matches as the opposition of a stern parent.

There is a good deal of loose talk and surmise coming from Washington, but the thing we know is that the official acts are without a mistake to date. Two weeks sufficed to remove all doubt as to who is at the head of this administration, and now that the president is show ing the people that he is equal to emer gencies as they arise all that he needs is the cordial support of his friends who believe that he sees the straight road and will keep in the middle of it.

unioago ana Cincinnati pontics tnis spring are mi*ed. It is difficult to align

municipal politics in the larger cities where tickets of factions within parties and tickets outside of parties are so promiscuous. No doubt the underneath cause of this promiscuousness is a quar rel over the spoils, and secondarily, a revolt of honest citizens against the rule of the spoilsmen. Strange as it may seem, Indianapolis, the biggest provincial place in the country, has begun dividing party lines in municipal affairs. The leBson of it all is that the people of the cities of the United States, whose aggregate debt causes the national debt to take on a shrunken appearance, are beginning to realize that the first and most urgent demand for reform in the management of their affairs is the reform of city government. Right here in Terre Haute the demand is very pressi"R-

A short time ago Mr. Butterworth made a movement which churned up a great deal of discussion in the United States on the question of annexation or reciprocity with Canada. The subject received more attention in the United States than was its due, especially as a __new administration was about to enter outgoing one. Now, like an echo, come the resounding sentences of statesmen in the

Canadian parliament who are excited over a resolution for closer trade relations with the United States. The reso lution, by strength of governmental pressure, was voted down. Yet, what is the end of this agitatien between two countries, divided as these two are? No reasonable man doubts that in time to come all North America will be under one government, but all reasonable men who apprehend the meaning of things know^ that it is not so imminent that it need occupy the primary place in the thoughts of men who really are up with the times.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.

The embarrassment and probable fail lire of the copper trust syndicate, says an exchange, is reassuring proof of the failure to carry into elTect schemes to corner the markets of the world. Why" not apply the proof to the United States or to a state? These trusts come and fco. None is all powerful to block the natural channels of trade. Maybe here and there is one which succeeds for a surprisingly long time but it goes down and the result is a Hood of cheapness which Equalizes things.

Our free trade friends argue that many trusts are the result of the protective tariff that they are made strong and monopolistic because they are protected against competition. Suppose they are enabled to build breakwaters and dams about themselves isn't it a fact that the same protection encourages the 6mall outsider to avail himself of the big pressure on the outskirts of the trust stronghold, and isn't it true that he

gradually swells that pressure on the big combine until the overflowing demand makes rivals of them all?

To be sure a new trust will be formed and new breakwaters and dams will be built, but the same overflow ensues—except in the case of one particular trust. We refer to the whisky trust. It builds its breakwaters and dams with the 90 cents tax and the small outsiders have not the capital to take advantage of the protection afforded this trust. Only men of large capital can block this channel and men of small capital are utterly powerless.

Some of our weak minded, free trade friends—we don't refer to the Rev. Mr Tabor, who so argued—tell us that the Republican protective tariff proposition is illogical because it includes the repeal of the whisky tax which protects the whisky trust. They fail to see, of course, that in the instance of the whisky trust the capital necessary to protect the trust and enhance its prospects furnished within itself and thereby excludes the would-be small competitor, whereas the protective tariff that enhances the prospect of any particular industry does not exclude the small manufacturer who has small capital. Indeed it gives to him an opportunity to put on the market his wares manufactured at greater cost because of the lack of facilities possessed by the big manufacturer the trust. The protection of the import duty is an encouragement to the man with few advantages. It says to him "Go in and do your best nothing shall come by me to contest with your honest toil and effort." The protection of the whisky tax says: "Raise $400,000 capital to pay in each month to the Tere Haute revenue district if you would contest,with me for the trade in alcoholic spirits." __

There really Is an Edgar Saltus. He has been described as an actual, visible, palpable and quite cognizable entity with a distinct and corporeal personality of his own.

Savannah News: Wherever general prohibition has been tried It has failed to accomplish the results expected from it. The conclusion to be drawn from this fact is that before a law prohlb ltlng the liquor traflc. or any other law, can been forced It must have the hearty sympathy and support of a majority of the people.

Detroit Tribune: If the exact truth could be known as to the real sentiment of the people of this country on this subject we think our Canadian friends would feel perfectly safe to leave their doors unlocked and their Impoverished little government exposed on all sides. What little sentiment there is over here for any sort of union with Canada Is for annexation, bur It Is of the most harmless kind. It wouldn't go across the road to urge Canada to become annexed against her wlli.

Philadelphia Times: Mary Anderson #s the latest victim to the horrible physical exactions of the peripatetic drama. Under any well regulated system, like that of the old local companies, an actress could live a rational life and take occasional rest. But now It Is one unremitting grlsd. with the fatigues of travel and the discomfort o£ honi»lessness added to the wear and tear of nightly work, from which prosperity brings no relief. The time is coming when the leading actors and actresses will be compelled to organize some better system if only for self-preservation.

Big Catch of Seals.

NEW Y'ORK, March 21.—Messrs.Harvey Outerbridge, shipping and commission merchants, of this city, are in receipt of a cable dispatch from their firm in St. Johns, N. F., reading: "The steamer Wolf has arrived from the Beal fishery with 27,000 seals. All Eastern steamers are loaded, aggregating 200,000 seals among them." This is an unusually early arrival. The number of seals reported taken already is in excess of last year's entire catch, and the early return will enable all the vessels to make another, and perhaps a third trip.

A Bear I'ntlressed Him*

A. shirt band, a collar button, and a pair of shoes were all the clothes that Patient McFarland had on when his friends came to his relief at the Battle Creek sanitarium the other day. A bear is kept in a pit at the sanitarium to be looked at by the patients. Mr. McFarland, who believed himself a tamer of wild animals, descended into the pit, but the bear was in no mood to visit. He undressed his guest, and if the sanitarium authontiee had not oome with a rope would have killed him.—[New York Sun.

NEW YORK GOSSIP

The following paragraphs are from the New York Sun: The sudden popularity of Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth among the wealthy and fashionable is being cultivated for all it is worth. Mrs. Booth came from an excellent English family, and her refined beauty, grace and cultivated expression show that she naturally still belongs to that sort of people whose hobby she has become. But she became a Salvationist to the core when she married the marshal of the Salvation army, the son of its commander-in-chief, owner, and boss^ and it is to the army's advantage that she is using her influence with the wealthy. She collected §G0 from the Berkeley Lyceum meeting, and made a most determined effort to raise a good collection from the large and fashionable crowd at the Y. M. C. A. rooms on Wednesday night. Subscription cards, with blanks for name and address, were placed in every seat, and fully fifteen minutes was devoted to pleading for a good collection. Salvation lads meantime scoured the audience, with pencils ready for those who had come unprovided with tools to sign the cards. After the meeting an astonishingly large number of finely dressed women crowded around Mrs. Booth, complimented her broadly, and in some cases tearfully, and thruBt fives and tens into her hands.

Mrs. Booth promises other meetings for the sort of people which the army does not affect. She says that about the 28th the Household troop will visit this city for the first time, and she is sure will receive a hearty welcome. This is an English body of lads and lasses selected for their fervency and eloquence. They are the flower of General Booth's army

On Fifth avenue yesterday a pretty and demure-looking nurse girl, in French cap apron, was wheeling in carriage a bright, golden-haired child up and down the block, between Thirty first and Thirty-second streets. In the center of the block stood a swell turnout, with a nobby coachman on the box, He made desperate attempts to draw the girl into a flirtation, but she only looked down upon the child, and seemed to be entirely-wrapped up in playing with it. When the time came for entering the house, however, she threw a killing: glance at the coachman and whispered something to the child that caused it to wave its little hand at him with a pretty "by-by." Then girl and child disappeared in the basement. This is getting to be quite a common sight. Nurse girls train their tender charges to do their flirting, and, while they walk innc ctently along the streets the children, un der their direction, may be seen waving their hands or even little handkerchiefs at the men.

The withdrawal by the French gov ernment of the decree of banishment in tbe case of King Louis Philippe's son the Due d'Aumale, has given satisfaction in the French colony in this city. Our French-American fellow citizens say that this veteran is not the man to try to undermine the republic in the interest of monarchy that he will honestly support the Republican government, which he believes to be firmly established, and that his whole career has shown him to be a true Frenchman, devoted to France. 3^flBi8BtAfef+otifiBTJ«feE^,1btrt0!fife

The Chinese of this city, who number over nine thousand, live more cheaply than the people of any other race to be found here. The Italians come next to the Chinese in the cheapness of their living, and the Bohemians stand next to the Italians in this respect. The morality of the Chinese residing in New York is greater, in proportion to their number, than that of any other race, though most of them eat American food. They are apt to find .our climate rather hard upon them. A well-informed Italian resident of this city recently said that most of his laboring countrymen here live at an expense of not more than forty cents a day, and hoard what they may earn beyond that sum. The Bohemian cigarmakers, who number thousands, are compelled by necessity to live as cheaply as possible.

Mrs. Langtry has a retentive memory for nameB and faces. A few days ago a dozen reporters besieged her house in search of information regarding a rumor that she and Mr. Gebhard were married.

She asked to be excused from seeing him because she was in the hands of her physician. "Meet Mrs. Langtry once and make a favorable impression," said an old friend of hers, "and she will never refuse to see you again."

Chauncey M. Depew boarded a Sixth avenue elevated train last night, only to find every seat occupied. An Irishman, with toil stained garb, seeing the great railroad manager looking about for a seat, arose, and with a brogue that would have made Pat Rooney doubly famous, exclaimed: "Here's a sate fur yez, Misther Dephew." "Ah, thank you, my friend," responded Chauncey M. "but what will you do for a seat?" "Phwat wull Oi do, Misther Dephew?

CIVIL 8KRY1CS DEBATfc

What WM Said in tW Senate on the UBDlap Nomination.

An interesting debate sprang up in the executive seesion of tbe senate Monday, according to a Washington special. It was started by Dan Voorhees, who tried to appear in the role of a ciyil service reformer. The judiciary committee had reported favorable the nomination of William L. Dunlap to be marshal of Indiana. Voorhees Baid he had read a great deal in the papers about President Harrison's civil service intentions. He wanted to know if the nomination of Dunlap to succeed Marshal Hawkins, a Dembcrat, was an earnest of those intentions. He had not heard of any charges against the Democratic marshal which would justify removal, and he would like to know whether the judiciary committee, which reported in favor of confirming Dunlap, had found any reason for his nomination except that it was at the presidents ileaBure. Senator Wilson, from the juJiciary committee, replied that the committee was satisfied that when the president sent in a successor to Hawkins, he had reason for doing so, and those reasons might be political. They did not consider that the civi| service law required him to keep in a federal officer because he was a Detaocrat. "But I don't know. anything about

Mr. Dunlap," said- Vagffeeafc^tf .don't knew whether he Is a fur man to be marshal or not." "If the senator »ill eigne with me to the committee roam," retorted Senator Wilson, "he will aid ample testimony on that point. The committee did not report in favor of hi| confirmation without finding out that hi was the right sort of 4," all right," continued out the fow, I'd like to know of us Who are not linistration party?"

Senior Hoar also spoke, and Senator Reagab on the Democratic side made a muddi explanation of how he thought the civl service law ought to apply to federal opces. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, finally ended the debate. "What's the use if talking about the civil service law apnyipg to officers who are removed?" ha said. "That law guards the entrance to office, not the exit. The simple iaot is that the Republicans are in pofer, and are entitled to name their men. u'm tired of this talk about the civil seitioe law protecting the fellows who gotlin when we were in power. Let's vote.1

Senator Cockrel's suggestion was adopted, and Dunlib wps unanimously confirmed.

WHITE HOUSKBILLIARDISTS.

The President and Lite Play a Game They Don't Understand. Rain prevented President Harrison from taking his usual constitutional walk yesterday, anq in his determina tion to find some kind of a recreation he

fications of the Waiie house, says a Washington special.' They finally^ hauled up in the old billiaid-room, which has not been used since President Arthur's time. The private iecretary, not know ing any more about billiards than the president, was nonplused when he was directed to "set the balls." The two men shed their coats, however, selected each a cue, and began to chalk the ends of the sticks like professionals. "Shall it be a pocket game or a threeballjbalk?" asked Mr. Halford. "What's that?" said the president. "I don't know," replied the secretary, "except I have seen the termB used in the sporting columns of the Indianapolis Journal."

The president smiled as he replied: "All right let it be a three-ball game, and we will make it a cushion game."

The two men set their balls and fixed a rule that each should have three times to strike at their own balls with the cue and four successive opportunities to hit a second ball with their own after they had succeeded in punching the "white ally." After mopping the perspiration off their foreheads for fully an hour the president drew a long sigh and, putting up his cue, inquired. "Lige, how does the Bcore stand?"

The private secretary put on his Methodist eyeglasses and, looking at the string, replied to the Presbyterian president: "Haven't kept one I don't know how they do it."

DRIVEN FKOM HOME

And After Fifty Years Pies, Leaving tune to His Relatives. W.vrERviLr.E, N. 1'., March 21.— George Clark Hayden ran away from his home in the town of Wtpslow fifty years ago because his father insisted on schooling him for the ministry. For jaepntet five years no trafe.-* "™1oiraa,and both hio parents died. A year or two •nn»dix«iit relative from Watervule found him in St. Louis. He was very eccentric, a firm believer in spiritualism and severely economical. The news of his death has just reaohed Waterville. He died in a meanly-fur-nished room and upon his person was found a key to a vault in a safe deposit company, with a card attached thereto, directing the public administrator to deliver the same to B. C. Paine, of Winslow, who married his eldest sister. Both are now dead. It was found that Hayden had deposited securities amounting to $35,000 with one of the trust companies of St. Louis, and the property amounting in all to $60,000. He left no will. His living relatives are Charles Cook Hayden, of Winslow, and the children of his two sisters, among whom are Prof. J. D. Taylor, of Colby university Prof. Jefferson Taylor, of Waterville High school, and several others.

It was learned on inquiry that the missing papers referred to the disappearance of Frederic Nouree, aa cabled ust Sunday, and it is surmised that they had some relation to the woman who made the inquiries at the Continental hotel. Nourse's relatives in Boston read the dispatch and cabled to Thorndike Nouree, a brother of the missing man living here, to look into it. While a reporter was at the consulate asking questions about the missing papers Nouree came in. Consul Waller said that though the date given was before his term he was sure the papers were not in his office, and tha clerk Fri^out, who bad been in the office under successive consuls for twenty-five years, said they had never been sent there. By inquiry at the solicitor's it was learned that the woman's name waa Wilberforce, and that she lived as a servant in the. rectory at Herts, about fifty miles out of Londoft. She was in the city last week asking about Nourse and claimed she had sent important papers in the case-to -the odnsulate for safekeeping, which had been lost. She went back

Herts without seeing Captain Stead, inttfdfe|t?to li«u» 'jiliia jiaih She probably will not cdfle. -Investigation proves beyond a doubt that in 1883, when the woman claims that fi'ae sent the papers to the consul, she was serving a sentence in prison in London for perjury. Thorndike Nourse said tonight that the woman was a madhouse nurse, who came to him soon after his brother's disappearance and said she had Been him in a lunatic asylum Wales and wanted to go and find him. "I gave her my brother's picture," said Nourse, "and told her the reward was quite sufficient to induce her to search. This was the picture she showed Pelican. Whether the woman is crazy herself or has some scheme of blackmail I don't know, but she does not know anything about my missing brother. We have carefully searched all the lunatic asylums of Great Britain during the last three years. There is not a man in one of them whose identity is unknown."

THE OFFICE-SEEKING CRAZE.

Specimens of the Applications That Are ftecelved at the State Office*. Offioe-seeking in Indiana has quickened into what, without the transitive connection, would be called by Henry U. Johnson, "rushing in hot haste," and the rushers, it may be added, are making it mighty warm for those who are already on the inside, says the Indianapolis News. Twenty-five office-seeking callers a day is a fair average at the state offices, to say nothing of the letters that are received asking indorsement or assistance. Governor Hovey is having novel experience with them. A day or two ago he received a letter from a southern Indiana negro, who wanted the governor to give him a place as a sleeping car porter. Another officeseeker applied to him for appointment as an Indian agent. This morning he .cnpvPA. UW».

Belmont, a son of August Belmont. They were married in 1883, and in the summer of 1886 Mrs. Belmont procured a Newport divorce. It is Mr. Rives' second marriage. His first wife was Miss Caroline Morris Kean, a daughter of John Kean, of Elizabeth. She died March 30,1887.
