HALSTEAD NOMINATION.

There seem to be but two significant mderations in the rejection of Mr. ilstead, nominated to be United States lister to Germany. The first is the itude in which the senate has placed ilf and the second is the relation of ^editor of a newspaper individually to blic office.

Che senate has gone on record as termining that it can reject a presintial nomination when the nominee is in all respects for the cfiice for which president has selected him. There no question as to that proposition, ie senate has said that the president's stoic of an official must not be trolled by his personal predilecin, or even party predilection, if ajority of the senators have personal •'/predilection against that choice. The inee is the editor of a newspaper

as such he made severe comment

falio

the action of certain senators in their capacity. The advice and consent the senate to a nomination of the esident, we take it, does not imply at the senators are to give their con,nt only when the president selects who are not personally unfavorable a cabal of senators. The public concern in this event does lot end with the official duty of tbe resident and the senate. The Republican party, whose cause Mr. Halstead's newspaper has advocated, as a general thing, is made liable to disputes within ^tself. The primary cause of this is in Mr. Halstead's fatal facility to originate and augment these lamentable occurrences, if The Republican senators who voted against him had been violently and perjr sonally assailed by his newspaper. As an editor of a Republican newspaper he !»-, had no right to expect other than vio- $£: lent opposition from them. THK EX-

PRKSS

believes as do all men

now that it was a great mistake to give Mr. Payne a seat in the senate, but when the editor of a newspaper makes a just criticism of that act, not to say a rabid attack on those Republican senators who made it possible of accomplishment, he should be oontent to stand by his newspaper for all time and leave to dickering politicians the free will to do as they please, holding himself to the record he has made.

DECENT BURIAL FOB UNION VETERANS

The New Law Providing for the Burial of Ex-Union Soldiers, Sailors and Marines. The law passed by the recent legislature providing for the burial of honorably discharged ex-soldiers, sailors or marines of the Union forces has been welcomely received by the ex-Union veterans of this vicinity. It attractad immediate interest, both on account of the acceptable provisions, and of the fact that it contained an emergency clause, causing it to take effect immediately. The death of Alexander Tucker last week brought the law into application in this city for the first time, and occasioned a discussion. Trustee Peker construed the law to mean that the county Bhould pay for the tombstone out of the 150 appropriated by the law, while the soldiers construed it to mean that the law intended the appropriation for funeral expenses only. The following is the law in full:

Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of Indiana. That It shall be the duty ol the township trustees of this state, in their respective townships, to look after and cause to be Interred In a decent and respectable manner in any cemetery or burial ground within this state, other than those used exclusively for the burial of the pauper dead, at an expense not to exceed fifty dollars, the body of any honorably discharged ex-Union seldler, sailor or marine, having at at any time served in the army or aavy of tbe United States, who shall hereafter die a resident of this state, not leaving means sufficient to defray the necessary funeral expenses, or leaving a family in such Indigent circumstances that they would be distressed by the expenses of such burial.

Sec. 2. Any such township trustee, before assuming the charge and expense of any such burial, shall first satisfy himself by a careful Inquiry into all the circumstances of the case, that such soldier, sailor or marine did not leave means sufficient to defray the necessary expenses of such burial, or If he left a family residing in such township, that said family is unable, without being distressed, to defray such expenses, and, being so satUfted, he shall thereupon cause such deceased soldier, sailor or marine, to be buried, as provided in section one herein and he shall also immediately report bis action to the board of commissioners of his respective county, setting forth all the facts, and that he found the family of such deceased person, if he had any, unable to pay* the expenses of such burial without being distressed, to gether with the name, rank and command-to which such deceased soldier, sailor or marine belonged, the date of his death, place where buried, and his occupation while living also an accurately itemized statement of the expenses.incurred by reason offauch burial.

Sec. 3. It shall be the duty of the county commissioners, upon receiving the report and statement provided for in section two herein, to transcribe, or cause to be transcribed, in a book kept for that purpose, all tbe facts contained in said report respecting such deceased soldier, sailor or marine. It shall also be the duty of such county commissioners, Immediately upon such death and burial, to make application to the proper authorities of the government of the Onited States for a suitable headstone, as provided by act of congress, and cause the same to be placed at the head of the graves of such deceased soldier, sailor or marine.

Sec. 4. All expenses Incurred in such burial shall be allowed by such board of county commissioners and paid ont of the county treasury, the same as other legal charges against the county are allowed and paid.

Sec. 5. An emergency exists for the Immediate taking effect of this act, therefore tho same shall take effect and be In force from and after its passage.

Trustee Peker claimed the right to reserve $10 from the appropriated fund to pay for the tombstone referred to in the law. Bui the intent of the law must have been different, because it provides for burial and payment of expenses thus incurred in one part and provides for procuring the tombstone according to the provisions of an act of congress. Tombstones have been brought to this city according to the congressional act referred to without any expense to the parties sending for them except postage and charges for removing the tombstone from the depot in this city to the cemetery. Whether the law is to ba construed as the trustee said or not, the experience of veterans in this vicinity is against his constructions. Trustee Peker proceeded according to the instructions of the county auditor in this case, but will investigate the matter to-morrow and attempt to settle the point permanently.

THE GRAND JUKY.

Sheriff Weeks* Dereliction in Returning Warrants and Bonds.

The grand jury had several indictments ready to return yesterday, but Judge Mack was out of the city and Judge Scott would not receive them, because he had been appointed special judge in a case instead of judge pro tem. The present jury have been applying their time closely to business and have returned about twenty-five indictments. The indicted persons, with but few exceptions, have been relieved from considerable pressure because the sheriff has not returned warrants to the clerk in any cases except the few that have beqn published in THE EXPRESS. Sheriff Weeks has said from time to time that the warrants had been served with but four or five exceptions. Why the warrants and bonds have not been returned to the clerk for record on the court docket is a matter known to the sheriff, and presumably, to no one else. Until warrants are returned the indicted persons enjoy exemption from newspaper notoriety, and the amount of work being done by the grand jury can not be known to the public.

Graduates of St. Mary's.

At the meeting yesterday morning of the graduates of St. Mary's academy, near Terre Haute, a large attendance was present. The following officers were elected:

The next meeting will be on Monday evening, April 8th, the paper of the evening being by President W. W. Parsons, of tbe State Normal.

I saw a woman wend her way—wend her weary way, Along the road with weights la band,

On a gloomy market day.

She was a crippled mass of pain-wretched, aching pain, As she passed me by she turned her head,

Her clothes were dripping with rain**

This woman was old—very old, I know it was so, And she had traveled all her way __ Under that burden of woe.

(Her way, in life, hid been o'er chasms—o'er chasms darkfol, deep, Their chill made the heart of God o'erilow,

Not the eyes of man to weep,

I lifted my head and raised my eyes—my eyes to the sky, And in my heart I said—"Thank God!

Thank God, It is not I."

Then I clutched my throat as if it were a curse.— as if I say, (How many still look up to God and, like

The Pharisee, boasting pray.)

Dear Mercy, turn thine eyes—thine eyes deep, bathed in pity's light, To where a woman stands alone.

Shall we say good-bye *.

Smile a little, utter a sigh, Then choke the sobs beneath, our breath And wish that this were—ONLY death,

Shall we say good-bye?

And crush the roses where they lie Let their perfume sink lathe ground, It hath covered many a wound.

Shall we say good-bye?

Nevermore look at the bright sky, Ne'er more see the angels that pass, Only look down on sodden grass.

Shall we say good-bye

Nor moan our love, nor reason why Were the heavens a canopy black, Would then our senses nothing lack ?...•• ..

Shall we say good-bye'.'

Nor part with a kiss—you and I? While from this tropic zone we creep— To hide u£ln some snowy deep.

On Wednesday evening the patrons of Naylor's Opera house will be offered a rare treat. It is the appearance of the ever welcome and popular actor, Mr. James O'Neill, one of the most commanding figures in the history of romantic drama. As presented by Mr. O'Neill "Monte Cristo" ranks as one of the greatest successes of the modern drama. Everybody who has read the romance has made Edmond Dan tea a hero consequently the impersonation of that hero becomes a matter of popular interest, and when played as O'Neill plays it, a matter of popular delight. It is difficult to imagine any actor of this age surpassing him in the character. He treats the ever varying points of "Monte Cristo's" life with infinite skill and naturalness he brings to bear upon ths work a ripe experience, a sound judgment and a profound and signal mastery of his art. The support is good, the scenery entirely new, ths properties handsome and the whole production marked by refined taste and elaborateness that is characteristic with all that he undertakes. In a few words, it will be one of the most perfect produotionB that will be seen at the Opera house this season: The advance sale of seats opens 9 o'clock to-morrow morning at Button's.

Many of its scenes were ludicrous before now they are funny enough to keep one laughing half the night. The specialties are better, brighter, and more amusing than ever before, and form not the least enjoyable part of the entertainment. Ths advance sale opens Tuesday morning.

Denman Thompson's new play, "The Two Sisters," with the original scenery, company and effects, will be presented on the 12th and 13th of April. This piece is said to be one of the purest in tone and oharacter ever placed on the stage. The press and public every where are loud in praises of the many excellent qualities of the piece and the elegant and realistic manner in which it is staged.

We truBt that James O'Neill will mcst with better luck here next Wednesday than he has had heretofore as regards the weather. It is a singular fact that on the nights of his engagements in this city he has always encountered bitter cold weather, so cold that people could not turn out to the theater. It has occurred so often that the state of weather will be watched anxiously ou next Wednesday evening by the management.

S GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.

Quarterly meeting is being held today at the United Brethren Church. The social of the Social League of the First Baptist Church, which was held in the church parlors on Friday evening, was a very enjoyable affair. The society extended an invitation to the entire Sunday school to be present, and the result was that the chapel was very well filled.

The young people of the Presbyterian Church are making active preparations for Easter. Special music is being prepared. The "saving" barrels were distributed to the children several Sunday's ago, and on Easter morning these will be returned and opened in the Sunday school.

There will be a grand rally given at the Third Baptist Church on the third Sunday in April. Services during the day at 11:30 and 8 o'clock, the Rev. Llijah P.

Where Lent Is Kept in Earnest. Nowhere in Europe is Lent kept as rigorously as it is in Russia. There the faithful eat neither meat eggs, milk nor butter during the entire forty days. Even in cooking oil is used instead of butter or lard, and not even the^children are allowed to drink milk. On the day before Easter nothing is eaten, and just before midnight the people all goto church, bearing with them provisions of every description. At the stroke of 12 the church, which has previously been kept in utter darkness, is suddenly illuminated, and then, after the food has been blessed, the eating begins and the people satisfy1 their hunger before leaving the sacred edifice. On Easter Sunday everybody has the privilege of saluting whoever he may chance to meet with three kisses on the cheek. Even the emperor himself is not exempt from this custom, and it was the custom in former years for the czar to walk abroad on that day to receive the embraces of his people, but this custom has been discontinued by the present Emperor Alexander, who is afraid of being killed by the nihilists, and does not care to court publicity in such a manner.—[St. Louis Rsnublic.

C0ATE8 COLLEGE.

The Spring Term Opens With Flattering Prospects, The spring term of Coates college opened on Wednesday morning, after a vacation of ten days. The attendance is about the same as during the winter term, but several new students are expected to enter during tbe next few weeks. There wi]Lbe a temporary change in the facuMP^ccasioned by the sickness of Miss Hawkee, professor of mathematics and chemistry, who has been compelled to withdraw and return to her home, in Greenfield, Mass. Miss Pike, of the State Normal, will take her classes. By the annexation of the old Hulman's park the school has been very much benefitted. Before the departments were crowded for space, but by repairing and finishing the residence on the park grounds, very better accommodations have been made. Theartstuents work in this building, and the chemical laboratory is also located there.

The trustees have been very fortunate in securing the Rev. Dr. Johnson, of Chicago, to preach the commencement sermon. Dr. Johnson is one of the most prominent clergymen in the Presbyterian Church.

Minutes of the Christian Era. An interesting calculation has been made in answer to the query how many minutes have passed at the end of the year 1888, calculating from the beginning of Ihe Christian era. The calculation is as follows: 1888 multiplied by 365 days equalB 698,128 days, to which must be added 460 leap days, making a total of 609,580 days, which contain 16,549,920 hours, or 992,959,200 minutes, that is 7,004,800 minutes lees than a milliard. The milliard minutes will be reached in the year 1902, the 28:h of April at 10:40 a. m.

OUR LITTLE SON,

Four years old, afflicted with a painful skin disease. Six doctors tried to cure him 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, 1885, he was attacked with a very painful breaking out of the skin. We called In a physician, who treated htm for about four weeks. The child received little or no good from the treatment, as the breaking ont, 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 fast July, when we began to give him CUTICUBA RESOLVENT Internally, and tine CUTICCRA and COTICURA SAAP 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 tbe horrible malady. In all we used less than one-half of a bottle of CUTICURA RESOLVENT, a little less than one box of CUTICUBA, and only one cake of CUTICURA SOAP. 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 tUhtened chest? Have you noticed the languor and debility that succeed the effort to clear your throat and head of this catarrhal matter? What a depressing influence It exerts upon the mind, clouding the memory and filling the head with pains and strange noises! How difficult it is to rid the nasal passages, throat and lungs of this poisonous mucus nil can testify who are afflicted with catarrh. How difficult to protect the system against the further progress towards the lungs, liver and kidneys, all phyndans will admit. It Is a terrible disease, and cries out for relief and cure.

The remarkable curative powers, when all other remedies utterly fall, of SAHFOBD'S RADICAL CORE are attested by thousands who gratefully recommend it to fellow sufferers. No statement Is made regarding It that cannot be substantiated by the most respectable and reliable referenda.
