The main street of Terre Haute should not go six months without the attention of the street commissioner.

In all the election cases before the federal court there is not one against a Democrat. There is not one against a Republican based on evidence half as strong as that made public against Mr. Hyde Grimes of this city.

Now is the time for Murat HalBtead to vindicate journalism by rising on his hind legs and shouting to all the country that what he said in his newspaper he meant, all the foreign missions in the gift of the president to the contrary notwithstanding,

If he abused the Republican senators without stint and without sufficient cause let him apologize and abandon all efforts for party preferment. He can thus remove some of the stigma he has placed upon the profession.

It is said that an electric light trust is being formed, with $200,000,000 capital. An electrical expert and statistician, in fixing the amount, says:

There are 300,000 arc and 3,000,000 Incandescent lamps In use In this country, and a safe estimate as to what they represent In plants, dynamos, wires, etc., is $a)0 for each arc lamp and $20 for each Incandescent lamp, making a total of $120,(KXl.liOO actually Invested in outfitting. It formerly cost considerably more to fit up for service, and It Is safe to say that over two hundred million dollars has gone Into the business In solid cash.

Of course this gigantic rival of the Standard Oil octopus, like it, was not fostered by a protective tariff. Truste, indeed, seem to acquire greater proportions when not hampered by a robber tariff.

The United States district attorney of West Virginia, Leon Bailey's counterpart, with a federal grand jury like unto the one that assisted Bailey in his post election campaign, was not wise in his day and generation. He insisted on prosecuting his cases. With a Democratic judge, marshal and all necessary partisan accessories the defendants went scot free. He should have stepped aside and after the trumped up cases had been exposed when brought into a court of law by his Republican successor the Democratic press of West Virginia could have done as the Democratic press is doing here in Indiana under similar circumstances.

The TEKKE HAUTE EXPRESS takes exception to the habit that the Gazette of that city has of speaking of President Harrison as Deacon Harrison. What object the Democratic organ has In thus dlslgnatlng the president Is more than we can say, but the EXPRESS certainly Tmght not to be ashamed of General Harrison because he holds an honorable oflice In the phiirch.—(Sullivan Democrat.

is ashamed of a contem

porary that sneers at a man because he holds an honorable office in a church and makes a byword of anything in connection with the religion of Jesus Christ. That the Democrat does not appreciate the distinction is apparent when it adds, as if in justification cf our contemporary, that "THE

EXPRK.SS

was somewhat

facetious in the campaign by speaking of the candidate for congress as Dennis Brookshire." The Democrat will remember that all of us experienced much difficulty in ascertaining his name. He changed it on us with each visit and so we called him Dennis, which, by the way, didn't happen to be his name.

The Business Men's association starts on its new year April 1st. It ought to have its membership doubled by that time, and it also ought to have substantial evidence that if it tries to do something big for the city, the city will back it. The list of the members of the association added to the list of those who will back it up in enterprises for the good of the city will include quite generally the best spirits of the community. Not all of course, for all cannot think alike but a very good majority. The association will, this season, make a quite thorough test of the willingness of the community to be up and doing. It is to be hoped that the liberality of those who help will at once be recognized and that they will find it pays to be generous to their home city. In city affairs, as in christian experiance, it should be true that what a man spends for public good makes him rich and what he selfishly saves makes him poor.

It has been a chastening experience for Murat HalBtead if nothing else. Neither a public man of prominence nor a newspaper in the West is without cause for adverse comment on him yet here he is being bolstered up by even Henry Watterson with whom he has been at war off and on for many years. The Commercial-Ga-zette has given more space to talk about Republican party quarrels in Indiana than have the Democratic newspapers. Even since the inauguration the public was informed from

Washington of the dire calamities that awaited the party in this state as a result of the recognition of Indiana leaders. Yet the leaders are all recognized now and all hoosierdom is happy and no one would have suspected else had it not not been for those lurid Washington specials. So, we say again, that Halstead's place is at Berlin where he can be of good service for four years because at present he is in good repute there.

The Indianapolis Sentinel quotes this from an article which appeared in the North American Review, Mr. Allen Thorndyke Rice's publication, some months ago, the reference being to Mr. Cleveland: "Who had never uttered a word for his country, nor lifted his hand in her defense higher than a hangman's rope—a man of brutsl manners, of stolid instincts, of vulgar associations, a stranger to polite society, a man who, in the language of another, is but a wooden image of dull selfsufficiency and cold stolidity as incapable of receiving imprefflions as of returning warmth." The Sentinel thinks that the appointment of Mr. Rice is a direct personal affront to ex-Presi-dent Cleveland. Suppose it is. Didn't President Cleveland appoint Leon Bailey United States district attorney as a direct affront to President-elect Harrison? Leon Bailey's attacks on General Harrison were brutal in the extreme. Furthermore Mr. Cleveland's secretary of state, through the sycophant Phelps at London, affronted Mr. Rice in a most disgraceful manner, an outrage which Henry Watterson in the Courier-Journal and the New York ^orld^characterized in severe termB.

THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS.

As was expected the Democratic or gans are assailing Judge Woods for quashing some of the indictments re turned for alleged violation of the federal election laws. It will be remembered that under Leon Bailey's manipulation more than a hundred indictments were returned, nearly all of which were for swearing in alleged illegal votes or for voting in the wrong precinct. After all the hue and cry as to bribery and corruption Leon Bailey with a drag net that cost the United States about fifty thousand dollars, could make no better showing than these flimsy indictments. The Sentinel says these in dictments were "carefully drawn by able lawyers." That is not true. The only able lawyer associated with the office of United States district attorney when the grand jury was in session was Judge Claypool, but he absolutely refused to prosecute these cases, because he had no part in their preparation. *. ,C

The truth is that the indictments were returned as a party measure, and left for a Republican district attorney as a part of a deliberate purpose to make party capital out of the proceeding that all lawyers knew would ensue when an attempt was made to prosecute the de fendants under the forms of law.

England's Postal Business.

The postal telegraph system in England is operated at a continual loss. Last year the receipts were $30,000 less than the expenses, and there was, besides, the interest on eighty millions of investment to pay, making a total deficiency of over a million and a half. Since 1872 the net loss upon the telegraph department of the postoffice has been over sixteen million five hundred thousand dollars.

A PATRIOT WITHOUT REPROACH.

A Deferred Tribute to the Late Koscoe Conkling.

The Globe-Democrat pays this deserved tribute to the late Roscoe Conkling:

During the latter years of Roscoe Conkling's life he was severely assailed for his alleged indifference to the interests of the great party which had honored and trusted him. He was even accused of working secretly to defeat its candidate for president in 1884, and to place the country under Democratic rule. Hie Eense of self-respect, his heroic fortitude, his determination not to be drawn into any personal controversy, enabled him to keep silence when his integrity was thus, maliciously questioned. Not a word was heard from him in answer to these aspersions. He pursued his chosen course in a dignified, manly and uncomplaining way. So far as the public knew, he took not the least notice of anything that was said about his political views or preferences. But it seems that he wrote at least one private letter upon the subject, which has just been published. It was addressed to his friend, Mr. Pan ton, of Havana, N. Y., and reads as follows: 2. WALL STREET, January 7, 1885.—Mi DEAR SIB: You have my thanks for your kind and pleasant article^ An Impression plainly implied shows that you have fallen Into an error of fact, which It seems worth while to correct. I had absolutely nothing to do with the late presidential controversy from first to last, indeed, since 1881, I have had nothing to do with any political movement whatever. It was long Insisted by a number of persons that my prominence in politics was Injurious to the Republican party. The time came when this belief was acted OB and I was relegated to private life. My action since has been only a quiet acceptance of the event and the fact. Thus you will see It is plainly erroneous to ascribe to me retaliatlonror responsibility for results, nnless such responsibility ts found in my not contesting the will of the party and not attempting to regain the place or position which was taken away with much violence of condemnation. Wishing you a

JANUARY 14,1885,

Mi DEAR SIB: Yours rec'd. No, please do not use or publish my letter. I am out, and no one is likely to be disturbed by attempts of mine to break In again Whatever harm comes of Injustice to me is of little moment to others. Yours truly.

KOSCOE CONKLINO

The publication of such a letter at that time would certainly have been an advantage to.Mr. Conkling but he would not consent to appear before the country in the capacity of a defender of his own political honor and fidelity. He chose rather to go to his grave with the charges against him unanswered, except in the form of his splendid record as a senator and a party leader. A man of less courage and independence would have acted differently. It was like him, however, to scorn the petty malignity of his enemies, and leave his case to the sober and honest judgment of the American people. He reckoned wisely, after all, for the people believed in him: and when he died the whole nation lamented his loss, and proclaimed him a patriot without fear and without reproach.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

The New Project Among the Textile Fabric Manufacturers.

The movement for technical education is further illustrated, says the Indianapolis News, by a project among the textile manufacturers in this country to elevate the character and improve the style of American fabrics, to render the American manufacturers independent of European art and skill in the production of high-grade goods, and to emancipate American industries in this department from the alleged despotism of trades unions, which it is claimed so handicaps employers that it is practically impossible for them to successfully compete with foreign establishments in the world's markets, and is extremely difficult notwithstanding the large amount of tariff protection afforded, to maintain their ascendency at home. It is highly probable that a protective tariff is at the bottom of it, relieving our home manufacturers from the necessity of foreign competition, and consequently causing them to devote their entire time to the cheaper grades.

Now this project is for the es

tablishment of the schools, of which we have none now, to teach weaving and dying. This, it is announced, will run squarely counter to the trades unions which now allow only a certain number of apprentices to the number of operatives. Undoubtedly the bearing of technical education on the prevalent system of labor organization is one of the interesting phases of the movement. «f|||

A Fast Barber.

There's a black-haired, boy-faced barber in the Astor house who believes he can work faster than any of his trade in this country. A man who sat in his chair on Wednesday asked to be shaved in a hurry. The shave was finished in less than three minutes. "You'll have time for a shampoo now," said the little barber. "Only three minutes more."

It was a good shampoo, worked in with the fingers and a stiff brush. The head was washed and dried with a sponge. Seven minuteB after he sat down in his chair, the man put on his overcoat and asked for his hat. "My razor was a little off to-day," said the barber apologetically. "I shaved and shampooed a man the other day and trimmed his hair all in seven and a' half minutes."—[New York Sun.

In Good Company Anyhow.

I felt (on a certain occasion) like the drunken Irishman who-got up at the wrong time in prayer meeting. The parson asked all those who loved the Lord to please stand.

The Irishman had partly come to his senses, and, not fully grasping the situation, sprung up to his feet, thinking the others in the congregation would follow.

STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.

The Plans for the New Building as Agreed Upon. Special to the Indianapolis News.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. March 29.—The plans for the new library building of the state university have been agreed upon, and with the $60,000 appropriated by the last legislature it is proposed to build the finest structure used for educational purposes in the West, and it will far excel any building of any of the institutions in Indiana. The building will be about 120x60 feet in the maximum, the length lying east and west. The central half will be only one story high. The east and west ends, each about onefourth the entire length, will be two Btories high. The main entrances is to be from the south near the west end. In the middle of the west end, lower floor, will be the general readingroom on the south side of the readingroom will be the librarian'^ study and the card catalogue workroom on the south side of the reading-wom will be

Some of them carry gold in their mouths, and when the would-be purchaser's head iB turned the "precious" is dropped in the pan and the "sucker" is allowed to pan it out himself.

SOCIALISTS IN CHINA.

A New aad Dreaded Secret Society Stirring Soldiers to Hutlay.

Private adv:oes from China describe the origin and working of a notorious secret society called the Ka-loa Hui, which for many yean has given trouble and which quite recently has caused commotion in Nankin and its immediate neighborhood. At Keang-nin, a garrison town near Nankin, arising was on the point of taking place among some Hunan braves stationed there, and they had agreed with their confederates toatrike a blow at Soochow and other large cities when alliee were in readiness to asaist them. The plot was discovered through an intercepted letter, and the papers, seals and correspondence were seized. The ringleaders were arrsstea and decapitated, and the rising was suppressed. Later on a similar rising occurred at Nankin, again amorg the discontented soldiers and disbanded Hunanmen of the same society. Advantage was taken of the viceroy's absence to hasten the plot, but his return interfered with the details. The leaders were betrayed, seized and beheaded.

The authorities were now thoroughly alarmed, proclamations were issued, several regiments of Hunan men were disbanded and sent to their native provinces and soon the trouble ceased. This Ka-lao Hui is described" as a society somewhat resembling the socialists of Europe, and much dreaded by the officials and people of China. It originated during the Taiping rebellion among the soldiers in Hunan for the purpose of affording aid to the wounded and the families of the men killed in service. The Hunan men served all over China, and their mute*' aid tociety spread over the whole country. The aims of the society developed with its growth, and a sentiment of equality in worldly possessions and position became prevalent among its members. Able and unscrupulous men turned these feelings ,to their own uses, and now the society seeks to spread its socialistic views by the rough-and-ready process of plunder and rapine. Ite doctrines have a natural attraction for all the discontented and disreputable members of society, and its ranks have lately been largely recruited from the many disbanded soldiere now wandering over China.

Hind Cure Nonsense.

Now, in view of what has been done in curing disease by the aid of mental influence, the public has a right to demand that our physicians Bhall give us the benefit of this healing agency. Mental influence is a pleasant and inexpensive medicine it cures in Bome oases where drugs fail, and it shortens the term of sickness and lightens its pain in many cases furthermore, it has no injurious incidental effects. But the mindoure should be taken out ot the hands of untrained irresponsible visionaries and the impostors who now practice it, or it will add a terrible amount of suffering and death to what it has already caused. These enthusiasts, carried away by their seeming successes in a few cases, insist that the mind-cure is the only treatment worth anything in all diseases and for all persons. They know too little about the nature of diseases to recognize symptoms which indicate the fitness of this agency, too little of science in general to realize that a means suitable to remove one condition may be entirely inadequate or unsuitable to counteract another.—[F.
