Senator Cockrell, who for. a year or more has been conducting a red tape in vestigation of the red tape methods of the departments at Washington, now recalls attention to a fact almost forgotten. The senator uses much printers' ink to show that red tape has been so wound about department proceedings that ex pedition of public business has been practically blocked.
We find in the Indianapolis News' reports of the street car and light questions references to one who is designated as "a mahogany-colored gentleman crawling into the woodpile" and "a colored gent in the woodpile." Will the News please fish him out and let us see him? Of course we are willing to concede to Indianapolis this rare possession but still Indianapolis need not be so selfish that it can not let any one outside the city see the curiosity.
It seems that the Main Btreet pave ment schemers are determined that if they can't let those desirable contracts the people of Torre Haute must put up with a dirty street. Indeed, a few weeks ago the organ of the job, then sassy in the possession of a couple hundred dollars of the people's money wasted in advertising for contracts it was known never would be let, served notice to that fact. Main street should be cleaned immediately. The clique must not carry this force policy too far.

The race Is not to the swift unless the suckers put their money up on the other fellow. There is an aesthetic young woman iu Terre Haute who has caused considerable profautty among postal clerks by addressing letters to I'lque county, Missouri. "When a Turk wishes his slumbers to be undisturbed by the braying of his doukey he ties a heavy stone to the animal's tall and rests In peace, as the donkey cannot bray unless his tall Is extended."

KXCHANUK ECHOES
Philadelphia Inquirer: If congressmen want more salary why not tax the ofliceseekers a dollar on every application they are asked to eudorse, and roll in wealth.
Globe-Democrat: ANew York paper recalls the fact that in an address delivered In 1S72. Whttelaw Held contended that editors ought not to hold ofllces: but then there has been a great Improvement in editors during the last seventeen years.
St. l.ouls (ilobe-Democrat: The next governor of New Mexico ought to be a man who will labor faithfully and effectively to make that territory good for a substantial Republican majority, so that It may be admitted Into the 1'iitou as a state.
Wheeling Intelligencer: Unpromising as the field has seemed to be for the growth of Republican principles, the Intelligencer has not doubted that the solid South can be split on the straight Issues between free trade and protection. The men who make the South of tc day are for protection. It is but one step further to vole for protection.
Richmond Dispatch: tieneral Pryor has committed a blunder. He has arrayed himself with those foolish philanthropists who suppose that a negro Is only a white man with a dark skin: whereas the truth is that to attempt to make the negroes even tolerable rulers and law-makers Is to try to make water float upon the top of oil. The white man is on top aud will be on top In the end, or else will abandon the South.
Cincinnati Times-Star: The fulfillment comes sooner than might reasonably have been expected. Before the end of his first two weeks In the White house. President Harrison has couvtnced even his political enemies that he is chief magistrate In all that the name Implies. The Baltimore Sun. of March 11th. indorsed the statement of a senator that the politicians "couldn't do anything with Harrison," and that he was making his own appointments In his own way. The New York Herald admits that "the new president Is actually president," and that "in this he has greatly pleased the mass of his own party and the people In general." As he has begun so he will doubtless continue.
A FATAL OMISSION
Kills the Coal Miners' Bill—A Rascally Cleric Omits the Enaetlng Clause.
While comparing the enrolled bills with type-writer copies that are being made for the printer, Mr. Bookwalter, clerk in the state printing bureau, discovered that the enacting clause had been omitted from the act for the protection of miners in the weighing of coal, and in consequence it is null and void, says the Indianapolis News. The bill required that there should be uniformity in the screening and weighing of coal, and provided for such inspection as would be likely to prevent the cheating of miners. There was strong opposition to the measure while it was pending in the legislature by lobbyists who represented the coal operators, but the representatives of the mining counties made a determined fight for the bill and succeeded in getting it passed. After it had been passed in the house some amendments were made by the senate, and when it was sent back to the house for concurrence in these changes, like some other bills in which the lobby was greatly interested, it mysteriously dis appeared. Investigation was threatened and the speaker announced that he would at once issue warrants for the arrest of the persons who were suspected of having stolen it. The threats had the effect to briBg the bill from concealment, but it turned up as mysteriously as it had disappeared. It was sent to the en grousing room for enrollment, and it was there, it seems, that the rascally work, which entirely destroys the force of the act was done. The omission of the enacting clause could hardly have occurred through oversight. It appears on the engrossed copy, the first three lines being as follows: 1 Section 1- [Be It enacted by the 2 general assembly of the state of 3 Indiana.] That the owner, agent,
The words that appear between the brackets are the ones omitted in the enrolled bill. It could hardly have been through oversight or inadvertence that the enrolling clerk, after writing ''section 1," began with the word "that," instead of the essentially important enacting clause. Who is the person guilty of the rascally work is not yet known. The writing is iirregular and scrawling. The form and flourish of many of the letters indicates that the writer may have been a German. The latter portion of the bill was copied by another person. Mr. Bookwalter says that the handwriting is unlike that of the other enrolled bills. Assistant Clerk Crawley, who has charge of the enrolling clerks, examined the handwriting, but did not recognize it. The enrolled copy was made when the force was greatly rushed, and some of the committee clerks and others were called in to aid in the work. It is not improbable that the rascal was not one of the regular clerks.
It seems strange that the omission was not discovered before. The bills are usually carefully read by comparison in the enrolling room, afterward by the committee on enrolled bills, and finally by the governor and his private secretary. It appears that none of them noticed the absence of the enacting clause. Some of the Democratic members of the house blame the governor for not discovering the constitutional defect before signing the act.
DRESSED BEEF LAWS.
A Hearing by a New York CommltteeThe Colorado Law, AI.BA.NY, N. Y., March 21.—The assem
bly public health committee gave a hear ing to-day on Assemblyman Nixon's bills for the inspection of live stock. Dr. Cyrus Edson, of the New York board of health, said that he had condemned some dressed beef from the West. He did not think that meat could be inspected properly after it was dressed. The internal organs should always be inspected in order to decide whether the meat was healthy. L. M. Kimball, representing the East Buffalo live stock association, and five or six others from the same association, advocated the passage of the bill. Others spoke in favor of the bill. "We want protection," said one, "as far as health is concerned, and we also want protection for our home trade." Mr. Kerrigan said that in the district of New York, which he represented, $20,000,000 were invested in the business of slaughtering cattle, and these investments were liable to be destroyed by the encroachments of the four men who had control, to a large extent, of the meat interests of the United States. Cattle killed in New York had to be inspected at a cost to the butchers, but Chicago dressed beef was not subject to this expense.
DF.NYV.K, Col., March 21.—Governor Cooper to-day signed the bill recently passed by the general assembly providing for the inspection before the slaughter of the meat of cattle, hogs or sheep of any description, the meat of which is intended to be sold as food. The bill practically prevent® the importaSion of meats slaughtered by the Big Four or any other Eastern packjng houses. It is understood these eastern houses will immediately make an effort to have the law declared unconstitutional.
Cor.CM BUS, O., March 22.—The lower house passed the Braham bill, which provides for the inspection of live stock on foot in this state before being slaughtered. There were few votes against the bill.
Reforming Slowly.
When we struck this town the chief of police lay drunk on the sidewalk in front of the postoflice, and the six patrolmen were playing pool or poker. Any one of the crowd could be bought for half a dollar. We have been pegging away for reform with each issue of the Kicker, and we are pleased to note an improvement. The chief hasn't been drunk for the last fortnight, and yesterday we counted four patrolmen on their beats at one time. 'All reforms move slowly, but patience and perseverance will accomplish much. We shall keep at it, and we predict that the day will yet come when we shall have a police force which will not fear a drunken Indian nor sell out to a gambler for less than 82 a sell.—[Arizona Kicker.
Want the Brother's I.abor But 'ot His Vote
RAI.EHMI, N. C., March 22.—A white man named .H. H. Cheek, one of the agents engaged in inducing negro emigrants to go South, left here with party of about sixty negroes for Mississippi, but at Greensboro, eighty miles from here, he was overhauled by a prominent farmer of this section named A. T. Mial, who had him arrested and brought back to this city, charging that he had enticed away hands who were hired to work for him for a year. Cheek was arraigned this evening befor a justice of the peace and found guilty, and in default of 8200, \va9 put in jail.
Coal Production in the South. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 22.—The
Tradesman has compiled a table from
official reports of each of th« Southern states showing the coal production in 1888. The total production in West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky. Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, Arkansas and Texas, in 1888, was 18,001,567 tons, valued at the mines at $19,810,ijh against a total production of 15,261,(43 tons in 1887, valued at $16,598,697.
DEPARTMENTAL KKD TAPE-
What Senator Cockrell'ii Investigation Haa Developed. WASHINGTON, March 22.—The special
committee appointed in the last congress to investigate the
methods
of doing
business in the executive departments, of which Senator Cockrell is chairman, has completed its work and the report prepared by Senator Cockrell, who has really been the committee, will be made to the senate in a few days. The documents is an exhaustive and interesting one, containing numerous illustrations of how red tape and senseless adherence to forms and precedents interrupt and retards the dispatch of public business. The report^ will show that in some departments, the pension and land bureaus for instance, it requires as long a time as four or five years to settle a claim, or get information of certain kinds. Claims filed as far back as 1884 in these bureaus, are still undisposed of. In some offices efforts are making to get out of old ruts and adopt new and better methods, with the result that business is despatched with greater accuracy, more speedily and with more benefit to those interested. The paymaster general's office is up with current business and requests for information are answered within twenty-four hours. In the surgoen general's office. Dr. Ainsworth has introduced a card index by the use of which he has caught up with the business, over a year behind at the time he took hold, and been able to furnish information in 72 per cent, of cases against 59 per cent, under the old style. Senator Cockrell says there is, however, in many, if not most cases, a disposition to ignore improved ways of doing business, and the report will recommend, among other things, that a commission be appointed with authority and direction to institute the reforms suggested. He thinks the use of the card index in the military and naval records would not only facilitate the transaction of business but lead to a very considerable reduction of the clerical force now necessary in the several departments.
BASE BALL MOTES.
Al. Meyers will leave for Washingto* on Monday to join his club. The Inter-state ball league season will open at Evansville May 3 in a game with the Springfields.
The Chicago and All America base ball teams played at Manchester yesterday. The score was: Chicago 6 All America 7.
John Hendrich left for Colorado Springs Tuesday morning, where he will pitch in the state league. He left here with a sore arm.
The Muncie News mournfully says that Muncie has a population of 15,000 and no ball club, and that fact does not speak well for the young men.
The Crescent ball club met and organized for the season as follows: Seldomridge, Ronan, Parrott, O'Dell, Murphy, Scheinder, Schultz, Davis, Haller and Stewart. The club has been materially strengthened by the addition of Schultz, who will play behind the bat. The Crescents will be open for engagements with all amateur nines in this state and in this section by the 25th of April.
This year you will find two pitchers' names on every score-card, as the second one can be substituted at the end of any particular inning. The man who drops' out can not come into the game again. In addition to the substitute a second change can be made in the event of a fielder being injured. This will have the effect of lessening the amount of batting which the four balls rule would make. A batter has but three strikes this year, and gets to the first on four bad balls.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1889.
A DOUBLE EXECUTION.
The Barrett Brothers Suffer the Death Penalty—A Remarkable Crime. MINNEAPOLIS, March 22.—Tim and
Pete Barrett were hanged here today for the murder of Car Driver Tollefeon on the night of July 26,1887. [OB the night of July 26,4887, there was an extensive tire In the business portion of Minneapolis. The street cars on feveral lines were delayed in confluence. At 12:90 a. m. the last ear on the Cedar avenue line reached the turn-tables In the suburbs and started on the return trip. The ear was a "bob-tall," in charge of Driver Thomas Tolletson. When the ear got opposite Layman's cemetery three men stepped out from the darkness, halted the car and demanded that the cash box be banded over to them. Tolletson, true to his trust refused to give up the box. One of the men then fired at Tollefson, the ball striking him in the leg. Still he clung to his cash box. Another shot and the brave driver fell dead. The murderer seized the cash box, which contained a paltry $20 and fled. On the 16th of November, Henry, alias "Beddy" Barrett, who had been serving out a sentence In the county jail for illegal liquor selling, was released. About ten days before that he had said to the jailor that he believed that he knew who committed the Tollefson murder, and if the jailor would speak to Assistant County Attorney Jamleson about the matter he would tell what he knew. The next day "Beddy" made a confession. He said that he, with his brothers, Tim and Pete, agreed to rob the street car. Pete fired the first shot and then ran, followed by Henry. In a moment they heard a second shot They were soon rejoined by Tim who had the cash box under his arm. Tim told his brother that be had killed Tollefson. Through "Beddy's" confession an unbreakable chain of evidence was secured. Pete was arrested in Omaha. Tim was already under arrest on a charge of highway robbery. The two boys were ladlcted by the grand jury, and on Monday, the 6ur, the trial of Tim began. The principal witness was "Beddy" Barrett, who swore that Tim fired the shot that killed Tollefson.
The trial of Tim lasted fifteen days and was one of the hardest contested cases ever tried In Minnesota. Tim was convicted and the county atteney offered to accept a plea of guilty of manslaughter in the second degree from Pete Parrett, but the offer was refused. Pete Barrett was to be sacrificed to save his brother Tim. If Pete could be acquitted, a new trial could be secured for Tim. That was the plan of the defense. The trial of Pete Barrett began January 30 and lasted until February 16. The case was fought with desperate eloquence and daring strategy, but in vain. He was found guilty. Tim and Pete Barrett were sentenced to be hanged. The governor fixed July 13 as the date of the execution. The supreme court granted a stay of proceedings until last fall. The Battle that had been fought and lost on the question of fact was now renewed on questions of law The most elaborate briefs were prepared, but the supreme court ended by affirming the decision of the lower court and the governor fixed March 22 for the date of the execution. Every foot of ground from the beginning was contested with the most desperate energy, but slowly and surely the fetters of the law began to tighten round the doomed men. There was a desperate attempt to break jail. That, too, failed. Then petitions were circulated, but again to no purpose. Various ladles Interested themselves in behalf of Pete, the youngest brother. The governor's life was threatened In case he refused to commute the sentence of Pete, who was only 18 years of age. The mother of the boys is possessed of considerable property. Her efforts were, however, put forth entirely In behalf of Pete. Beddy, who swore his brothers lives away, is living In obscurity in Chicago. Of this once prosperous family, a son. Frank Barrett, a daughter, Mary Coleman, and the mother, of whom Henry Barrett said, "dhe Is the cause of all the trouble that has come to the boys," are all that remain.]
The Ocean Waves Undermine Building*. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March 22.—
The ocean waves for two days past have been steadily undermining the buildings on the inner side of the Board walk, and when the terrible flood tide and furious waves of last night struck them they collapsed. Near Georgia avenue, a corn doctor named Professor Jones, who owns a small shanty, was in bed when the waves struck his place. He was thrown with stunning force among the debris and had a miraculous escape. Three families at the same time hardly succeeded in making their exit through the doors, when the houses succumed to the waves.
A Bad Brother-in-Law From New Mexico. MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., March 21.—
Frank Seifert, a farmer living six miles east of this city, was by Charles Gunst, his wife's brdlnr, last night. Gunst has been in New Mexico for three years and the first warning of his appearance here was his entering the back door of Seifert's house with a pistol in each hand. With the words: "I've come to kill both of you," he began firing. Seifert can not recover. Four shots were fired, but Mrs. Seifert was not hit. Gunst immediately disappeared and has not been captured.
Evansville Insurance Agents Indicted.
Seventeen indictments have been returned against the manager and employes of the Prudential insurance company at Evansville for failing to comply with the law requiring that representatives of an insurance company every six months must file a statement of its condition with the state auditor, and a duplicate copy must be left with the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which the company is operating. The defendants claim that the prosecution is the outgrowth of jealousy, and they have given bond.
A New Use for Dynamos.

The Trials and Tribulations sf a Young Coaple of Lovers.
Mr. Frank P. Webster and Miss Maggie M. Johnson, of Libertyviile, in the northwest part of this county, secured license to marry and went to Paris, 111., yesterday to do so. They had been invited by their relatives at Paris to go there to solemnize their nuptial
VOWF,
bat when the minister was called in it was learned that the license had been secured in this state and they were informed that the wedding could not occur in Illinois^ but must be in Indiana. All preparations had been made for the marriage ceremony at high noon according to high ton, but the law prevented. They did the next best thing by bringing the minister, the Rev. Mr. Brooke, of the Christian Church at Paris, with them and having him marry them here. The ceremony was performed in the parlors of the National house. The newly married couple returned to their friends at Paris in the evening. They had been prevented from securing license at Paris because the bride was not of age and her guardian was not present to consent to the marriage. The young couple thought that they were almost total strangers in this city when they came, but when they appeared in the hotel parlors to be made man and wife they were greeted by a score of faces that were a3 radiant with smiles as if lifelong acquaintances. The event illustrates the fact that a young couple about to be married cannot oonoeal the fact from the public. No one who witnessed the ceremony yesterday knew that the prospective bride and groom were in the city until they arrived, but they were good friends all the same.
One Pig in Clover.
"And so Chicago is amusing herself by putting the pigs in clover, is she?" mused Mr. McGarigle. "Well, I know of one pig that knows when he's in clover, and he's going to stay right there!" And the ex-warden wheeled his chair around till his back was toward Chicago, stretched his legs out luxuriously, and chuckled softly to himself.—[Chicago Tribune.

OUR LITTLE SON,
Four years old, afflicted with a painful skin disease. Six doctors tried to care liim all failed. Got worse and worse.
Completely cured by one set of Cuticura Remedies, costing $1.75.
Our little son will be 4 years of age on the 25th Inst. In May, 1886. he was attacked with a very painful breaking out of the skin. We called In a physician. who treated him for about four weeks. The child received little or no good from the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by the physician to be hives In an aggravated form, became 'larger In blotches, and more and more distressing. We were frequently obliged to get up in the night and rub him In soda and water, strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called other physicians, until no less than six had attempted to cure him. all alike falling, and the child steadily getting worse and worse, until about the 20th of last July, when we began to give him CUTICURA RESOLVENT Internally, and the CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and by the last of August he was so nearly well that we gave him only one dose of the RESOLVENT about every second day for about ten days longer, and he has never been troubled since with the horrible malady. In all we used less than one-half of a bottle of CUTICURA RKSOLVKNT, a little less than one box of CUTICURA, and only one cake of CunCDRASOAP. H. E. RYAN,

Choking Catarrh.
Have you awakened from a disturbed sleep with all the horrible sensations of an assassin clutching your throat and pressing the life-breath from your tightened chest?

Or the Liquor Ilnbit, 1'onitiTelr Cnrea by Administering Dr. Unities' Golden Hveciflc. It can be given In a cup of coffee or tea without the knowledge of the person taking It is absolutely harmless, and will effect a permanent and speedy cure, whether the patient is a moderate drinker or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of drunkards have been made temperate men who have taken Golden Specific In their coffee without their knowledge and to-day believe they quit drinking of their own free will. IT NEVER FAILS. The system once Impregnated with the Specific, it becomes an utter imposslbllty for the liquor appetite to exist. For sale by Jas. E. Somes, drugget.
