The oil excursion is at? assured success. However, boom the excursion.

According to the report of the police authorities Terra Haute escaped a visit from the gamblers and gentlemen whose means of livelihood depends on their quick wit and smooth tricks with cards and the like as they "follow the show," because the artists were warned on Friday at Decatur that they would not be permitted to operate in this city. This is commendable in the police, if for no other reason than that it left the field open to our local artists. It is this zealous regard for the home industry that we admire.

GIVING TERRE HAUTE ITS DUE.

THE TBRRE HADTE EXPRESS should not mar Its usually bright columns with childish complaints and Ill-natured flings at this city because of alleged neglect to give due notice to Terre Haute'a oil well. Many years ago It used to be the custom ot some papers throughout the state to foster a feeling of dislike towards Indianapolis for alleged hostility to their local interests, but the press has, for the most part outgrown that immature condition. TBB EXPRESS should not try to revive it. The interosts of Terre Haute and those of every other city and town In Indiana are the interests of Indlanapella. The Journal rejoices In the prosperity of all of them, and Its columns are always open to any reasonable extent to matters pertaining to their development and progress. It would have a poor opinion of Itself, Indeed, If It could harbor a particle of Jealousy ot the prosperity of any other city In Indiana, or lend Itself to concealing their advantages. As for the Terre Haute oil well, we have given all the facts about ltj some el' them more than once, and if we have not tilled our columns with ceaseless ltera tlons concerning it. or with attempts to boomg Terre Haute on the strength ot it. it has not been from jealousy, but simply because the mass of our readers do not prefer that sort ot reading for a steady diet We hope the oil well will prove a great And, and be followed by many others, to the unbounded prosperity of Terre Haute Present Indications justify such a hope. Capital and enterprise are being directed to the development of the oil Held, and movements already on toot may result In a great addition to the natural resources ot the state.—[Indianapolis Journal.

Perhaps the above Bhould go without oomment. It is evidently intended to repair a wrong, but there are one or two statements in the way of palliation for what had been said by the Journal to which, ungracious though it may appear to be in us, we desire to take exception. Let it be understood first that TH£ EXPRESS is the last newspaper in the world to call into question the judgment of any newspaper in the choice it makes of matter to fill its columns. And the Journal is one of the few newspapers in whose columns so little iB found that merits criticism. But, the Journal's fault that Tun EXPRESS commented on was in publishing something detrimental to our oil field that was not true. That the Journal declined to publish Associated Press dispatches from here which other newspapers saw fit to publish is no concern of any one, perhaps, except the managers of the Journal, yet it is not out of place to sey that metropolitan newspapers of other cities have considered the oil discovery to be -of enough importance to send special correspondents here to write special letters about it.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

If

Mr. Cleveland's friends

wished to make him a real factor for 1892, they should have kept him out ot that fierce light which beats upon a presidential candidate for the next two years and a half.

Utlca Herald: Mr. Cleveland, despite any bean and late coyness, is In the field for 1892. Republicans find cheer in the prospect. No man who was once president and failed ot reelection has ever come again to the presidency. Mr. Cleveland is not aback number In whose behalf an exception Is to be apprehended.

Chicago Herald: There is every evidence that justice proceeds against the murderers of Dr. Cronln only as It Is vigorously Impelled by the impatience of public opinion. Without the authoritative voice of the press, the deed might have passed first for a mystery and next tor a vulgar murder. Those of the murderers belonging to tho police force would have held their places In office, and equity would have been as completely cheated as It Is possible to conceive.

ONE TERM OF OFFICE.

Oar nation has again paaeed by in silence the idea of one term only for the president, writes Prof. David Swing, in the Chicago Journal. In about one year from this date it will tie aaaumed/with or without reason, that Mr. Harrison is beginning to offer bids for a second term. Unless his human natore is of some new type he will soon begin to listen to that temper which has never whispered in vain in any incumbent's ear since the time of Washington. He cannot make himself aa laughable as Mr. Cleveland rendered himself by his eloquent denunciation of the second term idea, but he can easily resist the pressure of the abstract truth that the president should on entering his office cease to be a politician, and feel that he must give four years to his country and then go back to private lite.

The one-term idea should be carried still further by a constitutional provialon that should make all federal offices expire at the end of four years and never be renewable again to the same man. That law would end "offensive partisanship," because a luge amount of the vice of the presidential campaign oomes from the frantic efforts of those in office to remain in, and from the money raised b£ assessing those who are drawing salaries from the nation. Postmasters should perhaps be elected by the people. This change would make the presidential appointments lees numerous, and higher, also, in character. What men come into office with the president should go out with him, for the two reasons, that a national office should be relieved from all motives for obeying the machine, and that in a republic as many men as possible should be honored and trusted by the nation. Four years at the foreign office in London, or Paris, or Berlin, are enough for one citizen. No eminent man should be away from his country more than four years: and no citizen should monopolize what honor there may be on the hands of the country to give to worthy sons

The civil service law has proven itself to be one ot the failures of the age. Its cardinal idea was to make an infant school of the nation, to which school green persons could be sent four years to be prepared for a second four years. A training school for nurses and domeetics is not objectionable, but genuine logic would seem to indicate that a man enter ing a public office should be fit for it before he enters it. To find postmasters the president should not look around among the illiterate or among those wholly ignorant of any kind of accurate and rapid business. A postoffice clerk could be promoted. When a business firm wants a bookkeeper it does not hunt for him among blacksmiths.

The Chicagb postoffice has in recent years had men employed in distributing letters and in making out postal orders who could with the utmost difficulty read or write. If the civil service re former cherishes the fond hope of making out of such men good postmen, the benevolence of the law outehinss the wisdom of it. If the country is expected to wait for Mr. Harrison to learn how to be president—if the civil service idea is not' to be applied to him—why are subordinates to be appointed who must spend their first four years in learning how to add up a oolumn of figures or how to fill up the blank places of a document? A Chicago postal clerk not long since refused to fill up a postal order for 90 cents because he said the law compelled him to use a postal card for any sum under a dollar. It required a long argument to prqve to him that the law ft as to benefit those who did not want to pay 5 cents for a postal order, but that if a man desired to pay 5 cents for a 10-cent order the law would permit him to have his way. in this same city a postal-order clerk sent a servant back to his master with the order not granted. "Tell your boss that there is no such 'order-town' as Williamsburg. ABk him if he means Williamsburgh?" So the man-servant walked in all a mile and a half to carry back to the postal clerk the truth that the "h" was not a permanent part of the village. Then the order was made out.

Better than civil service reform would be a law that men should pass examination upon the duties of any office before they can pass into it. In the case of the presidential office and certain other high places the candidates for them are known by common fame to be fitted for the positions to which their names stand connected.

There is not the least scarcity of men and women who can fill in the best possible manner any of those places within the gift of the president. Miss Ada Sweet did not need any four weak years to fit her for the Western pension bureau. She knew how to disburse millions honestly. When Mrs. Mulligan succeded Miss Sweet she, too, knew what figures and honor implied. The two may stand as illustrations of the fact that the nation has good persons for each office, high or low, and can point to no reason why each (federal offica-holder should not pass back to private life at the end of four years.

The British cabinet is subject to frequent changes. So is the house of commons. According to Professor Bryce, the United StateBhas better material for its offices than England makes use of. He says that American offices are raised to a higher average, because England will send up to parliament some titled or landed nobody or some fashionable sporting youth, while in this country all members of congress reach that place by means of some intellectual eminence.

It is questionable whether the long-drawn-out tenure of office by senators adds anything to the merit of that body. A statesman cannot be made out of a walking-stick or an umbrella by extending the opportunities of the thing. Parliamente and congresses are now composed of good business men. Men of sense are more numerous than men of the Webeterian type. The congress needs fresh blood and brain every four or six ears, because many of the old-timers _iave mastered only one art, that of doing nothing. An old congress would not differ much from the professional jurymen who hang around courts and who love to have linked justice long drawn out.

The average old-timer at Washington ahould be permitted to return to private life. He has become apart of a machine. His long term has not made him into a statesman, but into boss. Exceptions may be found, but they are not numerous enough to atone for the indolent and machine-like motionaof the majority. Cleveland was elected partly because the Republicans had ruled so long Waahington that they had quite forgotten how to attend to business. Many voters longed to see signs of animation. It '""g stay in offioe had been able to make statesmen the Republican party would have reared up a Gladstone or a

There abould be, once in four years, eome lsgal quietus put to 100,000 offlee* seekers. Others just aa capable and just as worthy are waiting.

To this reform should be added on* more national principle—that the office must seek the man. The ami who now represent our country in England, France and Germany were called without their own knowledge or ooaaaat Lincoln, Reid and Grant did not put in an appearance as. baggers. They were sent for. Thus all the numbler grade ot offices should be filled up by ia process at selection in which the man selected should play 'no pert. Such a cuatom would double the .honor ot the office' and be the means also ot putting die beat men in each place. In many of the great office-buildings in the laige citiea noticea are put up to this effect: "Beggars and peddlers not allowed in thia building." A aimilar law ahould be evolved out of the modern experience, "Beggars and peddlers not permitted in the Temple of Offioe." Such a law would go far toward preeerving the selfrespect ot men ana tar toward the calling of the beet man to each place of honor and aervioe. Plaoee ahould not go to the man who bega hardest, but rather to the man who most merite the poeition.

And that burning love which consumes my heart must find some expression. In your preeence I am dumb, not daring to pour out to you- the ardent devotion which consumes me. fear that of times you have thought me atupid and dull, while I waa only intoxicated with your loveliness, and listening with eager delight to the music of your matchless voice.

This sheet of i»per, though I should oover it with loving words, could never tell you truiy how I long to see you Time does not run on with me now at the same pace as with other people. The hvors seem daye, the daye weeks while I am absent from you, and I have no faith in the accuracy of clocke and almanacs. And it will always be so, until I shall again be able to clasp your loving form, press rapturous kisses upon those nectar steeped lips, and call you "My own." Your devotedly, "HABBY."

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 18,1887. DEAREST FRANK: It is with no small degree of apprehension, as to the manner in which you may receive the following avowal, that I take up my pen to addrees,you but I have so long strugglsd with my feelings, that they have now got the better of my irresolution, and throwing aside all hesitation, I have ventured, although alarmed at my own boldness in doing so, to lav open my whole heart before you. For months past I have been oppressed, My Dear, with a passion that has entirely superseded ever other feeling of my heart. That paseion is love, and you—you—My Dear, alone are the object of it. In vain have I endeavored tor drive the idea from my mind by every art that I could possibly think of. In vain have I sought out every amusement, but the love for you, My Dear Frank, has tafcen that firm hold that I am unable to entertain but one ides, one thought, one feeling, and that is of you, my dear. I neglect myself and home, and can neither hear nor see any one thing but you bear the chief part therein. Believe me, I am sincere when I assert that I feel it totally impossible to live apart from you. When.near you, I am in paradise when absent, I feel in torture. This, I solemnly assure you, is a true description of the feelings with which my heart is continually agitated, and it remains only for you, dear Frank, to give a reality to those hopee, or at once to crush them by a single word. Say but that word and I am the happiest girl in this wide world. Believe me, my dear, your ever affectionate

MY DEAR FRIEND: Having just rec'd your kind letter, I hasten to reply. This lovely spring morning, when all nature seems to) smile and look happy, the very flowers are filled with a sweeter fragrance and brighter hue, and nod and bend their heads in happy response to the beautiful and touching words of your loving message, that brings to me new life and brighter hopes. Oh, for the power to stay the hand of time in its onward march, that I might dwell in the sunshine of your love forever, and drink in the sweet nectar poured from these pure and undefiled lips. This life is too short to gather in the full measure of your pure and true love. Tnis cold and lifeless paper upon which you have poured out your soul to me seems but a mockery of your true self. Hssten the day that I can look into those laughing and soul-beaming eyee, that speak to me of your love and sympathy so pure and true, and pour into your ear the words of a heart filled with adoration for you, my loved one.

Do not neglect writing me at least twice a week. Lovingly yours until death.

S The Chicago Quotation*. "C CHICAGO, June 1.—The aotion of the Chicago board of trade in cutting off its quotations from all non-members of the board caused a general shake-up in the neighborhood of the board to-day. The local bucket-ehops had swarms of runners out trying to get quotations from the private wire houses. At some of them they were refused admission at others no discrimination waa made between bucket representatives and others. Commission men already complain of a new difficulty. A few customers who cannot now secure continuous quotations say they will not trade unless they can be furniahed them.

The first qusstion ssto the extjmt the jurisdiction claimed by the United States over Behring eea waa raised in 1881, and under date of April 4, 1881,

the

secretary of the taeapury replied that tbe

law

prohibited the killing of any fur-

bearing ftninftl within th® limits ot Alaska territory or the waters thereof, and also on the islands ot St. Paul and St George, or in th* watere *djao*nt thereto. The treaty with Ruasia of March 30, 1867, clearly defined the boundary of the territory so oeded. Th* limit of cession, ss bafore mentioned, extends from a line starting from the arotic and running through Behrings straits to th* north of St. Lawrence islands. The lines runs thence in a south westerly direction, so as to pass midway between the island ot Alton mil Copper ieland, of the Kornmandorski

or group in the North Pa­

cific ooean, to meridian of 193 west longitude. All the waters within that boundary to the western end ot the Alutian Archipelago and chain of ialande are considered as comprised within the waters of Alaskan territory. This decision is printed in the Pacific coast papers every year. The decision was repeated by the treasury department by the late Daniel Manning on March 16, 1886.

The Canadian authorities, in their brief relating to the seizure of Canadian vessels in Behring sea by our revenue cutters, claimed that Secoretanr Boutwell had decided that the United States had no jurisdiction over Behring .eea outaide of the three-mile limit. Mr. Boutwell deniee this, and in a letter written a few weeks ago, said: "Neither upon my reoollection of facta aa they were under stood by me in 1872, nor upon the present reading of the correspondence, do I admit the claim of Great Britain is an admission of any right adverse to the claims of the United Statee in the watere known as Behring see." .Last year the question as to the right of the United States to exclusive dominion and jurisdiction over Behring sea came before the United States district court in Alaska, in esses of the United States ve. the British schooners Dolphin, Anna Beck and Grace, charged with violating the law prohibiting the killing of fur seals in Alsskan waters.

This demurrer, setting forth no juris diction, waa overruled, and a judgment of forfeiture totheUnited Statee was entered against each of the vessels separately, with their tackle, apparel, furniture, cargoes, etc. No appeal was taken from this decision, and the exclusive jurisdiction over theee watera was asserted, so Congressman Dunn, chairman of the committee on merchant marine and fisheries, held, and was exercised by the legislative and executive branches of the government.

But that statement is controverted for other reasons. That oourt waiving the international question, and planting ^itself.upon the aoe of the treaty of oeMion and the acts of congress, entered judgment of condemnation against the libeled vessels and cargoes, and preparations were made to sell the condemned property. Three of the condemned vessels belonged to British owners, who appealed to their government and obtained its intervention. At this stage of the case the awkward discovery was made that theaot of congress organizing a judicial system for Alsska, had omitted to provide for appeals from the district court in civil causes, and the judgmente of that, court, improvidently rendered in the belief that the Bupieme oourt at Washington would correct any error made by the lower court in respect of the construction of the statute under which the condemnation was decreed, were found to be finalities.

In this dilemma the president, by an exercise of constitutional powers, re leased the British vessels and their car goea without reason or condition, and so gained time for an attemot to negotiate for an international closure of Behring sea in behalf of the preservation of the seals, but refused to release the American vessels and cargoes likewise con demned, under the belief that the supreme court would pass upon the legality of the condemnation.

WASHINGTON,"June 1.—So far 'ia can be learned, there is no new phase in the, Behring sea matter. The president's proclamation appears to have closed the history of the

caea

and it cannot be

learned that there has been any correspondence between tbe governments ot tn* United States and Great Britain on the subject.

CHICAGO, June 1.—A Fp cial dispatch from Ottawa, Oat., says: The marine and fisheriee department to-day received a dispatch from Captain Knowlton, ot the oruiser Vigilant, reporting that he had seized an American vessel. When two miles north of Cape North he discovered part of the crew of the Gloucester schooner Mattie Winahip, engaged in fishing, they being at tbe time barely two milea from the land. He immediately proceeded to overhaul th* vessel. On boarding the Winship Captain Knowlton obtaining no satisfactory explanation from the American skipper, made the formal seizure for the violation of the fishery laws under existing circumstances. The government will await a full report by mail before taking action. Theakipperot the Mattie was not in possession of a license under the modue vivendi. Mr. Tupper, minister of fisheriee, received a private dispatch last night giving further intormation about the affair.

Forepaugh's immense oanvaa oovered many thouaand people yeeterday. Everything waa on a great wale. The paraphernalia and rigging alone employed in tbe varioua acts waa something wonderful. The very complete Wild West show wsa given first, to be followed by the aggravating triple performanoea in two rings and on a stage, an arrangement beitter calculated to imprees an audience with the number of performers and acta than tofurniaha comfortable view of any good apecialties, of which there were many.

The crowd of strangers in the city was much larger than could have been ex pec ted. The railroade brought in loaded trains, but tbe number of farm wagons fell short. The circus trains, four in number, came in oh the T. H. & P. from Decatur. This road also brought in an excursion train with 600 people.

Sev*n suspected persons were arrested yesterday. The most valuable property found upon any of then was a lot of circus sheet music in a v%}ise owned by one of them. Murphy and Dwyer visited Decatur on Friday, and informed the crooks and "skin" fakirs that they would be arreated if they came to Terre Haute. The police ar*of the opinion that thia warning was hseded.

One of tbe show men, James Sweeny, had an outside racket with Master Willie Reisman, eon of Patrolman Rsisman, and struck the boy with a stick. The show man was put in jail, and the boy'a condition demanded a thyeician in the aftesnon, but ie was not considered dangerously injured. The blow was inflicted upon the side of the head. Sweeny gave bond. The ahowmen were anxious to furnish bail for him.

Incidents of the Day.

The Woman's Ralief corps, of the G. A. B, served dinner and supper on Main street yeeterday, and had a good day.

Several members of the police force were beautifully taken in by the "crazy man" of the show yesterday. The individual'who created the fun was an advertising agent of Forepaugh & Co. whose duty it was to play the part of an insane farmer. This he did to perfection. He was all over Main street during the parade, continually creating disturbances, talking in a loud voice and going through all sorts ot crazy maneuvers. At Sixth and Main with his buggy he suoosssfully blocked the street, sisted by tbe street cars, and was having a great wrangle with the showmen when Patrolmen Stoecker ran out and caught the bridle ot his hone, intending to arreet -him.
