Clean Main street.

Bueines Men's association meets tonight. It is an important session and matters of interest to every business man are to be considered.

The Business Men's association needs the co-operation of its members in important matters now before it. A meeting will be held to-night and all are urged to be there.

Mr. Cleveland has started on his re turn trip home. That is to say he is on his way back to New York. He doesn't return to Buffalo. Indeed he hasn't been in the city where he served as public executioner since he was elected president. As a resident of Buffalo his life was that of a saloon fixture. It would not be pleasant, therefore, for him to take his charming wife to a city where he had no associates who could give her social recognition. So, it seems that perhaps after all it is better for a man to be a "Deacon" and have home and so cial attachments in this world.

The two or three thousand dollars thrown away on the illegal scheme, job, perhaps- it would have been if carried through, to improve Main street, would come very handy just now in cleaning the streets of the nifcv TOw. nfgnnf flint he has had no money since Christmas for street cleaning purposes. Perhaps our contemporary, who received a couple of hundred dollars for advertising, and the junketing councilmen, who spent nearly a thousand, believe in the compensation theory and think that the account is even.

THE RIVALRY OF TRADE.

Whether the gas comes or goes at Minshall, Terre Haute is bound to go on forever, like the famous little brook. It has done pretty well so far and covers a fair-sized circle of territory with its trade. In the next few years we want to enlarge the circle considerably but how? Another factory like the tool works, selling its product all over the continent, or a new line of jobbing would help. Manufacturers are coming West. In every manufacturing town in the East are concerns ready to move Westward. Young men with all the necessary technical skill, but with limited capital, are ready for new fields where they wuuld not be crushed by wealthy rivals. It should be our policy to make Terre Haute known in every such Eastern town. It should be our policy to take hold of every applicant and treat him like a customer. If he is a good customer we caa afford to be liberal, and if he is not we need not. Do merchants ever figure what they pay for good customers? Advertising, fancy signs, handsome fixtures and^tine buildings represent much money spent to catch customers by houses which al-

good stocks and low prices! it is urgecf upon these merchants that it will be just as good business to put up money as a bonus for a large factory and its accompanying trade. It is merely another form of what is being done, and has to be done—viz: Spend money to get more trade.

THE WORLD OF TRADE AND LABOR.

PALL RIVER,

Mass., March

WILKESBAERE,

rV

General Harrigpn has appointed three "Gresham men"—Grant, Lincoln and Shackelford—to first-class offices. There need be no fear that he is not big enough for the whole Republican party.

The nominations sent to the senate yesterday were first-class, both as to the fitness and the good politics in the choice. Robert Lincoln for the English mission is a most sagacious selection. It avoids the New York snarl, pleases the general public and honors a capable man and worthy son. Murat Halstead in Germany can utilize his good fellowship with Bismarck. At the same time he will not be here to indulge his remarkable facility to stir up quarrels among Republicans of Ohio and Indiana.

27.—The

strike of the weavers in this city ended this morning and the operatives will return to work on the old basiB to-morrow. At a mass meeting in the park, which was attended by thousands of operatives, the executive committee of the Weavers' association advised giving up under protest and submitting their cases to the state board of arbitration. This result had been reached at two meetings of the board mentioned, held yesterday afternoon »nd this morning. Secretary Connolly stated that a jority of the committee realized that there were no funds the treasury upon which so large a number ef strikers could rely and thought it best to yield before there was any suffering. The contributions expected from outside quarters had fallen below expectations, and, under the circumstances, it would be wiser for all concerned to resume their places. The Rev. John Brown advised a similar course, and it was voted to return to-morrow. The gain in the number of operatives employed to-day has been very light and manufacturers were surprised when the result was announced, though no excitement prevails in the city.

Pa., March 27.—The

special reports sent from here yesterday to the effect that all collieries of the Pennsylvania coal company, the Lehigh Valley coal company, and many individual operators in and -about Pitta ton would suspend operations for six weeks are not correct. At the Pennsylvania company's offic« in Dunmore they say they know ef no authorized suspension, and that from present indications there would be none. Many other companies reported to have suspended are at work, while others are simply waiting the return of empty cars, which have been scarce for a week past.

An amendment to the constitution of the New York Central labor union has been introduced, making it compulsory for all delegates to that body to either be citizens or have declared their intention of becoming such.

Milwaukee grain buyers claim that the process of scouring and clipping sec-ond-grade oats, and selling the grain as high grade, is being taken advantage of by Chicago elevators, where, as alleged, patented machines do the scouring and clipping.

Notwithstanding their assertions that Lima oil could not be refined, the Standard company contemplate enlarging the Solar refinery at Lima, which at present has a capacity of 20,000 barrels per day, and has been running day and night ever since it was built.

The Chicago glass manufacturing company has brought suit for $5,000 damages against the GlasB Blowers' union, because the latter organization induced apprentices employed in the company's works to strike, thereby breaking their contracts.

The largest bread factory in the world is at Denistown, in Scotland, and the bread there is hand made. The British Confeotioner, in speaking of it, says: "The little baker is steadily growing less, while the large bread factories are capturing his customers."

The advantage of organization iB demonstrated by the statistician of the Baltimore Central labor union. In that city union bricklayers receive 84 per day, non-union $2 25 union printers are paid $2.70, non-union $1.25 and $1.40. The Bcale for union printers is $2.50, non-union $1.50. Union carpenters get $2.50 per day, non-union $1.25 and $1.50. succeeded recently in persuading fifie legislature to pass a law against blacklisting. The bill was slightly amended prior to final passage, and the words "by employers" struck out. The effect of the measure is scarcely what its promoters intended, for the first case under the new law has resulted in the fining of a labor organization for blacklisting a disobedient member.

The Cigar makers' International union is witnout doubt the most successful of trade organizations. While its membership probably does not exceed thirty thousand its perfect discipline and splendid leadership make it a power in the industrial world. High dues and loyalty to trade interests are its distinguishing features. A defense fund of $300,000 is always available, and while the tendency to strike is rapidly growing lees, whenever a fight is precipitated it is dollars to centB that the union wins.

All oigarmakers are interested in the anti-union label decision given by the supreme court of Minnesota. The words of the chief justice, which declare that the label is not a legal trade mark, run thus: "The Cigarmakers' union, having many thousands of members, adopted or agreed upon a certain symbol or device to be used by its several members by placing it upon boxes of cigars made by such members, such device not indicating by what persons the cigars are made, but only that they are made by some member of one of such unions, the right to use the device belonging equally to each of all the members and continuing only while the person remains a member it is not a legal trade mark."

The eight hour bill now pending be­

fore the Illinois legislature is in some respects superior to the recent enactment of this state. After declaring that in all state, city, county or municipal work eight hours shall constitute a days work, it names the following trades: Barbers, bricklayers, boxmakers, bndge builders, cigar packers, carpenters, coopers, coal and freight handlers, hack driven, grain handlers, hodcarners, ice handlers, livery and stable employee, stair builders, steamfitters, stonecutters, painters, plasterers, plumbers, railway employee, street railway employee, telegraphers, teamsters, tile layers, waiters, and all persons employed in the building trade, employee of gas and water works, and clerks of stores and offices in cities with a population of one hundred thousand or more. The trades mentioned in the bill are selected on account of their non-com-petitive character. In many trades employers complain that a reduction of hours in their locality would Bubject them to lose through competition with localities where longer hours should obtain—a valid objection until the eighthour rule is established in all of the states.

Secretary Tracy, who is now at the head of the navy department, and a large employer of labor, is a believer in high wages. Two years ago he delivered a lecture on the subject in Brooklyn, in the course of which he spoke thus: "The secret of the success of our country during the past twenty-five years is that we have paid high wages—that is, higher than those paid in any other country. The result has been that the consumptive power has kept us moving. Yet one million laborers were said to be idle last year. Three hundred million dollars were said to have been lost by this means. Had these men been at work we would have gained all this. How can we keep these laborers employed? you ask. We must diversify our labor. We must open every avenue to people as far as possible. The first duty of a nation is to reduce its pauperism. To do this a man must be given employment at fair wages, in the line to which he is best adapted. You must pay a tax one way or the other. Either you must pay good wagee or pay more for the paupers of your country. Laborers should be paid high wages, because it will be of the mest benefit to themselves. The safety of the nation depends upon the character of its laboring men. I am opposed to the Chinaman because I do not believe in the servile laboring class. I am opposed to the schemes of contractors who bring foreign laborers here because they can get them cheap. This deprives the American of his bread and butter. High wages are the salvation of the Amerioan laborer, and when I say that-, I mean the salvation of the nation. Strike down the laborer and you strike at the very vitals of the nation."

BLUNDERS IN BILLS.

Some of the Mistake*—The License Bill Affected.

That most brilliant of blunders, "the intelligent compositor," in his best studied efforts, might do more startling, but certainly not more effective work than the legislative clerks who copied the enrolled acts of the late general assembly, says the Indianapolis News. Two mow specimens of their careless work have been discovered. One is in the mechanics' lien act, the title of which stateB that it repeals section 5 of the act of March

6,1883,

Provided, further, That any person who has taught for

years (should be

ten) consecutive years in the common sohools of this state, and now holds a two (should be three) years' license to teach therein, and who, having previously taught for six (ten) consecutive years in said common schools, shall hereafter obtain a two (three) years' license to teach therein,

the state officers ao nol teachers' lioense act it is the intention of the state superintendent to make the corrections in brackete, and, if there is no question raised, it will probably be allowed to stand in the way until the corrections can be made by the next legislature.

Mr. T. J. Newkirk, clerk of the house of representatives, called at the office of the secretary of state this morning, and asked permission to see the enrolled copy of the act authorizing an increase of the saloon license to $250 in cities and $150 in towns. After carefully examining it he obtained a copy of the "revised statutes and pointed out to the gentlemen in the secretary's office the discovery that the act waa not in accordance with the requirements of the constitution, because it named a section of the statutes to be amended, without setting forth the section in full. The act reads as follows:

Section 1. Be It enacted by the general assembly of the state of Indiana, that section 6,317 of the revised statutes of 1881, be amended so as to read as follows: No city or incorporated town shall charge-any person who may obtain a license under the provisions of this act more than the following gams for license to sell within their corporate limits: Cities may change two hundred and fifty dollars, and incorporated towns one hundred and Ifty dollars, In addition to the sum provided hereinbefore.

The constitutional requirement which has not been complied with is section 117, reading as follows:

No act shall ever be revised or amended by mere reference to Its title, but the act revised or section amended shall be set forth and published at full length.

It is a matter of special regret that any weakness is found in this bill, and it is believed by many lawyera that the defect is not necessarily fatal.

JOHNfeBlfiHTIS DBAD.

wi« End Was Peaceful and Ptlnlm-^A Sketch of Hl» Life.

LONDOJI, March 27.—Mr. John Bright died at 8:30 o'clock this morning. His end was peaceful and painless. He had lain in a comatose condition since yesterday. All of hie family .were present at hia deathbed. In the house of commons to-day the Bight Hon. Wm. H. Smith, the government leader, with much emotion, referred to the death of Mr. John Bright. [Tor mose than forty year*, Mr. Bright has been one of tne sturdiest fl£u»» In English public ill*. He waa bom at Kocbdiile November 16,1811- Taking his stand with Cobden In the enpuiltatlon of the Anti-Corn Law association of_ 1838. he entered, parliament In 1843, and labored Incessantly until the corn laws were repealed in 1818. As a member of the Society of Friends, he has always opposed the past war armaments and foreign campaigns. In consequence of this policy he lost his seat In the house of commons in 1867, bat was subsequently rtturned for Birmingham. In December, 1868, what Mr. Gladstone first became premier, he was madelpresldeat of the board of^rads, put two years later was forced to retire fromofflce on account ot Ul-health. In August, 1873, he again entered the ministry, this time accepting tKeslnecure office of chancellor*. of the duchy of Lancaster, a post chiefly valuable (except so far as the bolder ot It draws $10,(XW a year for doing nothinglascontering a seat In the cabinet. He retired with Mr. Gladstone In February, 1874, and when the latter returned to power in April, 1888, Mr. Bright was of the duchy of Lancaster, again made chancellor—„ with a seat In the cabinet. The parUamentanrUe never since been formed in August, 1857, has broken, and the names of Birmingham and Bright are inseparable. It has been as member for Birmingham that Mr. Bright has been best known to the present generation, and it is under his patronage, if not by his inspiration, that the capital ef the Midlands has gradually attained the distinct political character u. which It is now known. To describe the vajrtourBgsasures In which, during the twenty-ttve years have passed since his election, he lias taken a leading part, would be to write the political history of England for that period. Among tip issues wltn which he has been most prominently associated during the last quarter of a century, are those relating to America, Ireland and parliamentary reform. It may be said of thelastthat If any one man Is responsible for the bills of 1866 and 1867, that man was Mr. Bright. Mr. Gladstone did the work and mastered the details, but the force of Mr. Bright was behind him. So, top, in the matter of the Irish measures of 1869 and 1870, Mr. Bright is be reckoned as, at teast, half responsible lor them. As to this, country, his attitude during the war for the Union, when he stood for some time almost alone among eminent

Englishmen, Is well remembered. In that great struggle, when even so far-seeing a man as Mr. Gladstone declared the cause of the North to be hopeless, Mr. Bright said: "I have another and far brighter vision before my gaze. It may be a vision, but I will cherish it. I see one vast Coafedertlon stretching from the frozen North in unbroken line to the glowing South, and from the wild billows ot the Atlantic westward to the calmer waters ot the Pacific main, and I see one people, and one language, and one law, and one faith, and over all that wide continent the home of freedom and a refuge for the oppressed of every nation and ot every clime." When President Lincoln died his gold headed cane was given by the family to Dr. Smith, a favorite American preacher, and he at his death bequeathed this to Mr. Bright, "as a token of the esteem which the late president felt for him." President Hayes sent him a warm invitation to visit the United States, but Mr. Bright dared not face the strain and the excitement at his time at life, and wisely declined,

The story of Mr. Bright's forty years of political life shows, as was recently remarked by the London Times in a review of a biography of the Quaker orator, "among other things, that eloquence Is still a power In England-a greater power, perhapt, than it ever has been before.- It shows that English democrats have at bottom a fund ot common sense which keeps them within the Umlts of t}ie practical and possible that they trust their leaders, and that their leaders do not desert them. It shows, moreover, that a man may In his youth and middle age be the ljugbear and the byword of the upper classes, and come In the end to be regarded as not only a good citizen, but as a man for whose views there has, after all, been generally much to be said."

Mr.~Br)ght's private life was singularly uneventHe lived at his home at Rochdide, where he entertained with old fashioned hospitality. Of recent years his failing health has prevented him from taking an active part In politics, or those priyat

The other bill in which blunders were made is the one relating to the exemption of teachers from examination after having taught for a certain number of years, and the mistakes seem to have been made with studied care. When the bill waa originally introduced it required that a teacher Bhould teach for fifteen consecutive years before exemption, from examination could be granted. Senator Johnson proposed an amendment reducing the number of years to ten instead of fifteen, which was adopted. The enrolling clerk has inserted six wherever ten should appear. The act also required the teacher should hold a three-years' license before he or she could get the benefit of the exemption, but in some places the enrolling clerk has written "two" instead of "three." The important part of the act in which the blunders appear reads as follows:

pursuits In which he was interested. The great pommonor wag simple and domestic In his habits, happy mihls home, surrounded by his family. His favorite recreatlop was fishing, in the pursuit of which pleaturehe made pilgrimages to

KT6ftt68t were simplicity, directness and strength. Hisde-lirnir—Ti-—r natural, giving the expressionot extemporaneous speech by manfull of his subject, and with the courage, not to say defiance, of earnest couvlctlon. The remarkable aptness and force of blB expressions were attributable, In a great measure, to his thorough acquaintance with the earlier English classics.

William Robertson, In his book upon the -'Life and Times of John Bright," says of Bright's personal appearance: "He may be described as robust of frame, five feet nine Inches In height, broad chested and of graceful deportment His face is broad and full and decidedly Saxon his forehead high, expansive and prominent, bordered with venerable locks, slivered by time. Dark and heavy brows overhang his keen eyes, which are of a tender blue, full of sweet gravity and wonderfully lntellecual, which can flash Are or melt Into tears and oaptlvate all who come within the sphere of their Influence. When animated during a speech, his comely Saxon features brighten Into unmistakable beauty. The whole has an expression of fine Intellectual dignity, candor, serenity and lofty, gentlemany repose. For the last thirty years or more, his oratory has been so popular that when he has given his promise to address a meeting In any town, the number of persons appltlng for admission tickets has exceeded by thousands that which the building could accommodate and so valuable are his speeches considered that at these meetings about sixty reporters are present who record every sentence. He is received with rapturous and sustained applause, while he quietly arranges his position, places his hat on the table before him, and On the rim of it lays his scanty notes, and- then surveys the vast assembly with subdued emotion. Then he appears abstracted, as If summing his mental powers .to their work. As soon as there is a perfect calm he begins his speech in a low, quiet tone, which gradually gathers force and Increases in volume. It Is the medium pitch, or conversational key, which is most easy and harmonious both to the speaker and hearer. The tone is natural, with graceful variations of the voice, according to the subject upon which he speaks. It is clear, round, fill, with a peculiar musical vibration In it which penetrates the air and enables him to be heard with distinctness at a great distance with comparatively little effort.

Hqjr Civil Service Brought a Fair Clerk a Hatband. Special to theCommercial-eaxetU.

WASHINGTON, March 26.—The little winged god has been as busy in Washington as anywhere else. A marriage to-day, quietly solemnized in the presence of a few friends, wound up a romance which has been giving considerable entertainment to a number of people as it progressed, but its consummation was a genuine surprise all aronnd. The high contracting parties were Major James F. Gregory, the engineer secretary of the lighthouse board, and Mrs. Marianne Minnegerodo Maigne, of Richmond, a clerk in the division of which the former is chief.

The bride ot to-day is an exceedingly pretty young woman, of hardly 25 years, who came here about a year ago from her home, in Richmond, to get something to do. The late Captain Dawson took a great interest in her, and through his influence she got a minor position in the treasury. Last Decembbp-sbe -was urged by her friends, with the exigencies of the 4th of March in view, to try a civil service examination. She passed, and very shortly' after waa assigned a desk in the office of the lighthouse.

The gallant major was attracted by the charms of the pretty grass widow, whose first matrimonial experiences were of a wretched sort, and his attentions to the diligent and fair clerk have Bince. then been a topic of no end of gossip in the division. None of them thought of a wedding just yet, and Assistant Secretary Thompson shared the general bewilderment when he received a little note this morning from the wculd-be bride inviting him, as a Charleston friend, to the wedding. The groom is 45 years, portly and handsome, and they made rather a striking couple as the Rav. Dr. Bartlett, of the New York Avenue Church, made them one. Only the bride's sister and a friend saw the happy couple off for the afternoon train to New fork. Mrs. Gregory's family belong to the F. F. V.'e, and her father was a leading divine in Richmond.

Another marriage to day of strictly local interest does not appear to have as pleasant a sequel for the couple as the first. Mr. W.E. Guy ton and Miss Emma Darling made up their minds last night that they would be married whether Miss Darling's aunt and guardian agreed or otherwise. Their preparation went blithely on, but when the would-be bride attempted to reaoh the rendezvous her aunt locked her in her room for the night. To-day, recognizing further resistance as useless, ehe consented to the ceremony, if performed in her presence, and when the knot was securely Med, eent the exultant groom about his business and kept the newly-made wife with her at home. That is how the|case stands to-night.

MISS CAMERON'S WEDDING.

Approaching Marriaye of tli» D»ngliUr of the Pennsylvania Senator.

To-day Miss Margueretta Cameron, daughter of Senator Cameron, is to be married to William Clark, of Newark, son of William Clark, the millionaire manufacturer of Clark's spool cotton.

The marriage of Senator Cameron's daughter Margueretta will be one of the nuptial eventa of- the year. The prospective bride, who is the fourth daughter of Senator Cameron, is tall and beautiful. Her education' has been at the best schools in the oountry, and in addition to such accomplishments as are acquired by training, she has the domestic tastes of all the feminine members of the Cameron family. The prospective groom is associated with his father in the great thread works at Newark, N. J., and with his uncle at Paisley, Scotland. It is said that the income of the father of the young man is $1,000,000 a year, and in his own right the son is a man of wealth.

The young people met each other at the residence of Miss Margueretta's eldest sister, Mrs. Bradley, of Newark. She had just finished school and made her debute at a debutante dinner at her father's Home at Washington, and was paying a visit to her sister, who had been as a mother to the children after their own mother's death. The following winter, the senior Clark proposing a cruise among the isles of the Antillean archipelago in hia yacht, Miss Margueretta Cameron was one of the party as the guest of Miss Clark. The cruise lasted several months. The younger Clark, who was also one of the family group, continued his attentions, and amid love-in-spiring surroundings, a fine yacht, the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, balmy airs and picturesque landscapes of the tropical Bhores they plighted their troth.

Mr. Clark is 22 and Miss Cameron, his betrothed, 20 years of age. They will spend their honeymoon in Europe. The marriage will take place at Harrisburg frdm the former residence of her father, now the home of ber brother James. It is not improbable that the wedding, while brilliant in the distinguished personages assembled and elegance in the array and value of bridal gifts, will be simple in the spectacular detaiWot-lbe saoramenUri-oeicmuuj. Itin understood that there will b6 no bridesmaids and probably only a best man.

Blood Diseases are cured by the persevering use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may not be quite so rapid as in others but, with persistence, the result is certain. Read these testimonials

For two years I suffered from a severe pain in my right side, and' hail other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking fire bottles I was completely cured."—John W. Benson, 70 Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuucle broke out on my arm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my experience with mediciue, I never saw more

Wonderful Results.

Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight."—MM—Carrie Adams, Holly SpHfigsTTexas.

Ihada^yscaly hnmot-fai^vwtra%-~ai«l SUUtifS^^ffttny^fand. as my brother and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron', (of Fernandina,

Fla.,)-recommended me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I topk it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my. body for the last ihree months.' —T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers St., New York City.

Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stomach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the paiu disappeared and I was completely etirea."—Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush, Haverhill, Mass.
