Judge Mack's prestige and temper are both said to be demoralized. Evans, the crook, however, is free and happy as a lark.

The man whose name was the last in the cabinet speculations, Tracy, is running to the front. The more his acts, and his physiognomy, are studied the better is the impression.

Terre Hauteans enter a vigorous protest against, the habit of calling that town "Terry Hut." Polite society in the Prairie City call It as if spelled "Ter-ra Hote," and stigmatize "Tarray Hute" as exceeding bad form, and more Inexcusable than "Terry Hut.,'—[Indianapolis News.

This is malice, pure and simple. "Terra" nothing. "Tare" with the "Hote" as the rest of the compound word will set you right. It isn't the latin "Terra" but the French "Terre." Tare-Hote if you love us.

The address of Mr. John McBride, president of the Miners National Progressive union, printed in another column in this issue, is a most commendable effort toward better things in the relation between miners and operators. The recognition of the necessity on the part of the wage-earners meeting the issue of dull trade will go far to establish harmonious relations. The spirit of united purpose in determining on wage questions is all that is wanted in any crisis in the disputes between capital and labor.

THE

STATE. LOAN.

It Is now asserted that when the temporary loan bill was pending In the senate, attention was directed to the constitutional defect by Senator Grose who proposed as an amsndment to Insert

meet casual deficit in the revenue," but the motion was defeated.—[Indianapolis News.

The absence of this provision causes all the delay and doubt in negotiating the loan. Two years ago when a similar bill was passed Mr. Caven, of Marion county, then chairman of the house ways and means committee was particular to avoid the blunder. JimWillard, the Democratic chairman of the last ways and means committee, whose ideas on law and finance are very loose, failed to take the precaution and the result is that the state institutions are in a bad way, none more so than our Normal school.

THIS SPRING'S CITY ELECTIONS. The president Is reported as saying that the reason the Republicans failed to carry the Chicago election was that there were so many of them absent In Washington seeking office. That wasn't what defeated the un-Republlcan ticket In Cincinnati, but we heartily concur In the opinion of the Inter-Ocean as to the inference to be drawn from the defeat. "It

can

not," says the I. O., "be con

strued fairly Into a rebuke of the Republican party. It was rather an admonition to make Republicanism more prominent In Republican politics." That llts the Queen City's Grecian figure as snugly as Lydla Thompson's pink tights. rClnclnnati Times-Star.

The Republican party has to-day a majority in Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, a majority once secured by defeat of the gang Democracy in each city after a hard and honest fight againBt a ring rule that increased the municipal debts, placed lawbreakers in the position of bosses and disgusted all good citizens. The three cities were lost to the Republican party this spring because the party permitted ring bosses to take charge and make deals with elements that naturally affiliate with the Democracy. Instead of helping the would-be Republican bosses carry the day, this reckless element played the Republican leaders for "suokers" and restored the munioipal governments to the hands of their tried and true friends. ..

THE WORLD OF TRADE AND LABOR.

CLEVELAND, April 11.—John McBride, president of the National Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers, has issued, from Massillon, Ohio, the following ^circular:

To the Miners and Mine Laborers of the United States: To-day the operators of Ohio and the Pittsburg district have submitted the following proposition upon the price of mining for the next year: Hocking Valley, 62% cents for the first six months and 67 for the last six months Pittsburg district, im and 76}£ for the first and last half of the year.

At the

late joint convention the min

er's representatives offered ao P™06®

f°r

the year, Hocking Valley 65, and Pittsburg district 70 cents. The operators refused to accept the proposition, and

now

that they offer a settle

ment upon a straight 1)4 cento per ton reduction below the rates which have prevailed for the past two years, and 1 bheir proposition being almost, if not altogether, the equivalent of -the one made by us, I would urge upon our miners that the operators' offer be accepted. I urge the acceptance of the operators' proposition, not because 1 believe any direct benefit will accrue to operators or miners by reason of such reduction, but because it guarantees, even with a continuation of dull trade such as we are now having, peaceful and harmonious relations between miners and mine operators, prevents an indiscriminate fight for advantage and insures an adjustment of all disputes during the coming year by methods of arbitration and conciliation. It will also re-establish the joint movement or miners and operators, and this, together with the absence of strife and bitterness, which must come to many parts of the competitive district without an agreement, is well worth our sacrificing iy2 cents per ton. If no agreement is effected between this and May 1, strikes in many parts of the district are inevitable, and these necessitate a contribution of large sums of money from working miners to aid those who are contending for a price, and who suffer not only from loss of wages, but too often from hunger's gnawing pangs. The vote of miners at the different mines in the competitive district upon the circular issued by us immediately after the adjournment of the joint convention indicated a very general desire to maintain scale rates, but in nearly every case we are urged to use all honorable means in our power to avoid a strike. The position of the miner's delegates at the joint convention was leartily indorsed and it is owing to this, to the general stagnation in trade, and to the inability to miners to carry a strike to a successful termination at this time, and under existing conditions that I ask you now to be guided by my advice, and accept this reduction of 2% cents per ton below as a sr at

My honest judgement is that if you make this concession now, in the interest of peace and harmony, the future will demonstrate the wisdom of your action. Respectfully yours,

JOHN MOBRIDE,

President National Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers. Indianapols Journal: The employes in some of the state institutions are concerned about the full application of the eight-hour law passed by the last legislature. They would like to know if they are to get the benefit of it. As only mechanics, workingmen and laborers are mentioned as the beneficiaries of the law, these employes would like to have their position determined. As they cannot be classed as mechanics or laborers they must, if at all, fall under the head of workingmen. The law makes only two special exceptions, those engaged in agricultural and domestic labor. People engaged in such employment must work under the old condition of things. But the law applies only as provided in section 2, to all persons, firms, corporations, companies or associations employing labor in this state, and to all mechanics, workingmen and laborers now or hereafter employed by the state or any municipal corporation therein, through its agents or officers, or in the employ of persons contracting with the state or any municipal corporation thereof for performance of labor in the public works of the state as such corporations. The officers of the female reformatory, as well as those of the prisons, no doubt, are also uncertain whether convict labor is to be benefited by the law.

ST. LOUIS, April 11.—The carpenters' strike is still on with no evidences of weakening on either side. Both the Master Builders' association and the Carpenters' brotherhood hold regular meetings, the latter daily, but cannot come together on the one point of recognition of the brotherhood. On hours and remuneration both agree. This morning the strikers to the number of about one thousand five hundred paraded the streets, attracting a large butjundemonstrative crowd. The men in line were very orderly, no evidences of liquor to stimulate enthusiasm, and not shout or the least semblance of disorder was recorded during the parade. A general meeting of the master builders of the city will be held Saturday night for the purpose of discussing the situation, and if possible upon some plan to bring about a settlement of the strike. President A. E. Cook, of the Master Builders' association, states, however, that he does not believe the master builders will recede from their position and the prospects for settlement of the differences are very slim.

Astride on all the Western roads centering in Chicago is one of the possibilities of the near future. No other subject is discussed at the secret meetings of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen. The impression prevails among the men that the Western roads have determined upon a general and sweeping reduction in wages. During the last week several things have transpired which tend to strengthen that impression. For several days an advertisement has been printed asking non-union engineers to call at an office on Dearborn Btreet. Many of the late Burlington engineers, who are still members of the brotherhood, responded to this advertisement for the purpose of ascertaining its import Their names were taken down, and they were informed that they would be sent for when wanted. The engineers think that some road, or combination of roads, are anticipating a strike.

New York Sun: Yesterday's news contained a startling confirmation of the fact long apparent to the public and emphatically stated and reiterated by the Sun, namely, that the wont enemies to

the laboring men of ibis city have been the Knights ot Labor in District Assembly 49. While the act of such devils as those who put the dynamite against Stevenson's brewery reveals the truth about the character of its authors, it can not fail to perpetrate a fearful libel upon men joined with them in these associations who are innocent of previous knowledge of their intended crime. Bat the regeneration of the order should go on until such men, or at least their influence, counsel, or modes of operation, are suppressed and supplanted by ways that are founded upon the enduring principles of humanity and command he approval of decent intelligence.

BALTIMORE, April 11.—Thereis every indication of the establishment here of a great sugar refinery. It is based on anticipations of Baltimore support, inspired by hopeB of Baltimore capital, engineered by Baltimore businessmen. The fact that $100,000 of the 11,000,000 capital stock proposed has already been subscribed, and at least one hundred thousand dollars more has been promised as soon as the project assumes definite shape, practically insurss the success of the enterprise. Messrs. Robert Garrett and sons have subscribed $200,000. The building, machinery, eta, will cost about six hundred thousand dollars, which will leave 1400,000 for a working capital.

The Indiana coal operators have settled on a price for mining for the company year, for submission to the miners. They propose: For block coal, for winter months, 75 cents per ton for summer, 70 cents for bituminous, winter, 65 cents summer, 60 cents. The operators are to meet again on the 18th, and it is thought the representatives of the miners will meet with them. The truth is that no one can form a conclusion as to what the outcome will be—whether a strike will be inaugurated on May 1st, or whether there will be a compromise.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 11.—The Braman beef bill to require the inspection of beef on foot within the state before being killed was defeated in the senate by a vote of 13 to 16. The bill originated in the house and passed that body by an almost unanimous vote.

There has been'a general reduction of wages in the Pennsylvania coke regions, and in most instances it has been accepted. At one oven, however, 250 men are on a strike. The operators aw said to desire a general strike as tending to raise the price of coke.

The eight hour day is being demanded by the building trades in Chicago, Buffalo, Boston, St Louis, New York, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Cleveland, and the leaders say the greatest strike of the century will be begun in June unless the demand is granted.

The union brewers in New York claim that th% bomb story telegraphed from there Monday is an invention of the boycotted bosses, who first tried to bribe the Central labor union to raise the boycott, and failing conspired to ruin the Brewers' assembly by associating it with an alleged dynamite plot.

It is reported that an extensive coal deal is about to be consummated in Wilkesbarre. The Lshigh valley coal company, it is said, will lease the Hillman colliery, owncid by H. Baker Hillman, and the Warrior Run colliery, owned by A. J, Davis. The two collieries have an output of 160,000 tons of coal a year and employ about six hundred men and boys.

The Millvale iron works, which were formerly operated by Graff, Bennett & Co. at Pittsburg, partially resumed operation under the auspices of the Millvale iron company, a new organization, after an idlenees of several months. The firm signed the puddlers* scale this afternoon, and before the close of the week the entire mill will be in operation. The resumption will give employment to 400 men.

Seoondly, there ia a total abaenoeof the fiery, untamed deetructionists who cripple and retard the advance ot labor in" New York, Chiqago and other large cities.

TO TAKE CABS OF LIVE MUCK.

The Ssaitsry Commlsslonara Oiftaln, sad Will Eaforce the New Law. The live stock sanitary commission, created by an act of the recent general assembly, held its first meeting at the rooms of the state board of agriculture, says the Indianapolis Journal. The members are: Adams Earl, Lafayette Samubl Bowman, South Bend, and George Hall. Raleigh. The appointment of a clerk and the election of a state veterinarian were discussed, but it was decided to postpone action until Friday, when another meeting will be held at Lafayette. The act requires that the person appointed shall be a competent surgeon and a graduate in good atanding of a recognized college-Of veterinary surgery.

Those who urged its creation|believe the commission can be of great value to the agriculturists of the state. Its duty is to protect the. health of the domeetic animals from all oontagious or infectious disessss. The law under which the commissioners serve provides that any person who discovers that any domestic animal is affected with a contagious disease shall immediately report the fact to the secretary of the county board of health in the county where the animal may be. The health board

then report the case

mUBt

to the sanitary commission. When the commissioners have been notified, the act says that one of the number shall at once proceed to the. place where the trouble is, and if he finds that a contagious disease does exist, he must order a temporary quarantine aud take other steps, as he may. sse fit, to prevent the spread of the diimanfi He must then notify the state veterinarian, who shall at once go and examine the animal or animals, and report his finding to the commissioners. The commissioners can then apply such rules and regulations as, in their judgment, the exigencies of the case may require for the effectual suppression of the disease. When, in their opinion, it shall become necessary' to kill animals affected with, or exposed to, any contagious disease, they shall determine what animals shall be so treated, and appraise their value. After this appraisement has been made the owner is to be given a certificate, which will entitle him to draw from the treasurer of state the value fixed on the slaughtered animal. Whenever the commissioners establish a quarantine it is made their duty to notify the governor ot the fact, who Bhall issue a proclamation proclaiming its boundaries. It is also made the duty of the commission to see that persons owning or having in their control animals affected with contagious diseases do not permit them to run at large, or sell, drive, ship, trade or give them away. The law governing the commission also fixes a penalty of $5C0 for the shipping ot infected animals into the state, and directs the commissioners to see that the provision is enforced. The commissioners will have nothing to do with the diseases of swine.

THE SCHOOL BOOK LAW,

Superintendent

La Follette Tells Why the

Law Is Not In Operation.

The following is from the Indianapolis News of yesterday evening:" "Why have no steps been taken to carry out the provisions of the new school-book law?" Mr. La Follette was fmked. "The original bill, as well as the engrossed copy, contained no emergency clause, but reference was made to it, I believe, in the title. I remember talking to the governor about the bill, and spoke at the time of the fact that there was no emergency clause in it It was with that impression that I went away. The emergency olause, it seems, wss inserted by the enrolling clerk, but that shall make no difference. I shall proceed to carry out the requirements of the act without unnecessary delay. The delay of such a short time'as has elapeed is of no importance at this time of the year." "When will the matter be taken up?" •'I have called a meeting of the state board of education for next Wednesday, and the matter will be considered then.

The 8oldlera' Monument.

Mr. Chadwick, who will have charge of the construction of the soldiers' monument, says active work will begin at once. Yeaterday a tool-house wss erected, and considerable other work of preparation dona. It is not probable there will be any delay in erecting the monument even it the state should not be relieved of its present financial embarrassment The contractors, it is understood, are willing to go ahead with the work and wait for their money. It is the deeire of the monument commissioners to lay the corner-stone on the 4th of July. Mr. Chadwick thinks it will be possible to be ready for the ceremony on that date, and if in a tew weeks it is evident that day can be chosen for the exercises, arrangements will be made for a great demonstration.—[I nd ianapoiis Journal.

GIVICS $1,000,000 OS MARRIAGE.

Miss Bessie Boeke feller Receives That Handsome Sum as a Wedding Gift.

It has been learned from friends of the Rockefelier family in Cleveland, that when Miss Bessie Rockefelier was married a short time ago to Charles A. Strong, son of the Rev. A. H. Strong, president ot (the Rochester theological seminary, her father made her a present of $1,000,000. The money will undoubtedly be invested through Mr. Rockefelier, as the object of his Bon-in:law in going abroad is to complete his Btudy of theology, and in any event his knowledge of the affairs of the business world would be limited. The gift is not a surprise here. A gentleman very close to the family says that at one time not very long ago, John D. Rockefelier bad $17,000,000 in money on deposit in New York banks. This was "not referred to of course, as representing his wealth. It was simply a fund kept on hand for immediate use in big schemes.

Bishop BillingB, telling of the poverty of the congregationa in many East End churches in London, says he once put a sovereigWin the plate, "which waa such an extraordinary addition to the usual offerings that the wardens, having closely examined the coin, solemnly shook their heads and laid it on one side, assuming it to be a bad one."

A Boston drummer says: "Oae of the meanest men it was ever my misfortune to have any dealings with was a retail grocer, who at the time was selling a poor woman three pounds of common crackers for 25 cents, for which he paid at the rate of 6 cents per pound, but to make his scales exactly balance he found it necessary to break a cracker in two.

For many years in war ships no other than the horizontal engine for screw vessels was used, on account of the necessity for the most complete protection involved, and on this account the efficiency of the machinery arrangement was considerably reduced. Within a comparatively few years, however, ingenuity and skill have triumphed over this difficulty, it having been found possible to sufficiently protect the cylinders of vertical engines from danger by projectiles, and this type of engine has in all such cases invariably been thus fitted. The advantages gained by the use of the vertical engine instead of the horizontal are very considerable, the engine working far more smoothly, wearing more evenly, and all parts being much more accessible for inspection.

Martin Rubenis and Joseph Drudel, of San Francisco were great friends. Joseph, who came from Austria, had corresponded with a young woman there, Annie Swabeck by name, and was loud in her praises to Martin. Martin fell in love with the picture drawn by Joseph, and asked him why he didn't send for Annie. Joseph said he hadn't the needful $130. "I'li let you have the money," said Martin, "and if she'll marry me I'll call the debt square." So Annie was sent for and came, and Martin was introduced to her as her future husband. "Give me time to think," said Annie. She thought for six months and then rejected Martin's suit. He asked Joseph for his money. Joseph refused, saying that he didn't control Annie's affections. All this came to the public the other day wben Martin sued Joseph for the $130.
