•''-S'The city must have money. It needs {f in its business. There is no better way to get it than from a saloon license.

At last the Chicago news reports have got the ice man's name spelled correctly. It is P. O'Sullivan and not P. O.Sullivan as was persisted in for along time notwithstanding that every one was sure that it was a mistake.

When you are confronted with an ob jection to the city saloon license call attention to the fact that Terre Haute the only city in the state of any size that does not have a revenue from a saloon license, and Terre Haute needs the money.

It begins to look as if the Democratic police ring pulled the house down on their gambling friends when they raided Sam Brown for spite. A great many persons were inquiring yesterday why one and not all public gambling houses should be raided.

It seems that there are Sullivans and O'Sullivans in Chicago, one as cold in his plans of dynamite upheaval as the other was in his ice business. The at mosphere of American public opinion is getting to be too frigid for the comfort of any of these fellows. J,, V,

Now that it has been demonstrated that a weather bureau with all the power of a centralized government behind it is not always accurate in its "forecasts" or "predictions," THE EXPRESS may be excused if it ventures a "forecast" of stormy weather for the wide-open gambling houses of Terre Haute.

Don't let anyone cause you to believe that the Brazil

filook

coal company is a

corporation organized for philanthropic purposes. Likewise don't let any political demagogue exaggerate the strike situation for the purpose of making you believe it is all owing to the tariff. And speaking of the tariff, we venture to say that no miner in the Clay county coal fields has changed his opinion as to the tariff because of anything that has been said or done during this strike. &

Not less than 100 saloons would pay the $250 license. THE EXPRESS believes that the revenue would be 830,000. Not less than 825,000 oan be saved the annual expenditures. THE EXPRESS beleives that §30,000 can be saved in the police, fire and street departments without impairing the efficiency of anyone of them. But Buppose there is a difference of 850,000 in the revenue and expenditure?, how quickly we will retrace the reckless steps taken in the past few years. The debt, now far beyond the limit, will soon disappear and the taxpayer will be happy in the relief from an increased tax rate, which is the alternative of this pet plan of THE EXPRESS of a saloon license and a lopping off of wasteful expenditure.

THE GRIND OF THE CRANKS.

Now comes the Rev. Oscar McCulloch, of Indianapolis, who has investigated the condition of things in Clay county. Mr. McCulloch is a man of intensely good intentions, and has admirably filled the want of a stirrer-up of Indianapolis lethargy in matters of benevolence. THE EXPUKSS is satisfied that it can say for him that he is a good man, with prospeots of being an able and practical man when time does its work. Without disparaging his sincerity in the

leaBt,

we would not that of an Indianapolis News correspondent who likewise went to Clay county to investigate the strike situation, we will say that by some strange mishap both have been placed in the attitude, falsely, no doubt, of telling the public at large that the block coal miners had been enabled to earn but $5 per week

the

prevailing wages for the year prior to May 1st. Neither of these unprejudiced gentlemen has seen

fit

to call atten

tion to the fact that there was but less than half work for miners in the block coal field because natural gns at Indianapolis and other points in Indiana, and oil as fuel at Chioago had so greatly curtailed the demand that the output was diminished, and the question suddenly arose as to whether one-half the miners should be wholly employed or all of them one-half the time. While we do not impute any sinister purpose in this extraordinary neglect to include a fundamental fact in their resume of the situation, we do think that this correspondent of an independent newspaper and

thiB

clergyman should be

more careful lest by their statements they mislead many persons into the belief that at the rate of wages in the block coal mines last year an industrious miner, working full time, could not make more than 85 per week. That is poppycock, with all due respect to the Rev. Mr. McCullooh, and he knows it is. That miners did not earn more than |5 a week is likely true and so is it true that onehalf of them employed in the block coal

mines left before the strike because they read the signs of the times. We don't defend the block coal operators. We think they are organized for greed and dividends. So far as oar knowledge goes they overlook nothing that is to their advantage that can be secured by even a heartless use of the power of capital, but as between the infliction of such an organization and the free trade, ministerial and the so-called independent newspaper crankB, may the good Lord give the miners the lesser of the two evils and permit the block coal company to conduct company stores and grind their employes. The block coal people will give the miners a pittance each week, at least, whereas the cranks on the outside will use them as frightful examples, lecture about them Sunday evenings and tell them how miserable they are.

A Weird Fascination.

Minnie—Did you ever see such a vain creature as Jen Jennings 1 1 do delleve that girl spends two-thirds of her time before the mirror.

Mamie—Yes Jennie always did have a peculiar weakness for the horrible.

As Pretty as Ever. w-

Mrs Jason—Jehlel, I don't believe you think much of me as you did In the first, days of our married life. But. of course, I am not so pretty I was then.

Mr. Jason—Oh yes you are. Your hair Is a heap prettier, even if It isn't fastened on quite so tight.

Not a Good Sample.

"Mr. Bohns," said Mrs. Hashcroft, looking into the little boarding-house parlor, "Will you be kind enough to step Into the back room for a moment?" "Certainly," said the consumptive-looking boarder, "lt'g funny," he muttered to himself, "that every time anybody comes hereto apply for board, she hustles me out of sight." •ZvAia Sad Fate of a Journalist. "'•You will remember," said the old gentleman who had called to see the editor, "that after my son had takoi his degree of Doctor of Journalism that I secured him a position on your paper." "Yes," an wered the editor. "Well." cantlnued the old man, "It has been three weekaalnce I have heard a word from him. Is he still connected with your paper?" "I don't know." said the chief, "but If you will wait till I call In the city editor, I'll see."

And that functionary, after consulting his notebook, remarked: "Smlthers. George W. Smithera. Oh. yes. Why, the llrst week he was here we got htm Into the kllot asylum to write the plaee up, and there appears to be some dlfllculty In securing his release."

V-? "j* EXCURSION ECHOES. St. Louis lilobe Democrat: It may be some consolation to Mr. Sullivan to reflect that the ball fixed In his case—$20,003—Is considerably smaller than the amount of Irish relief money which he contributed to promote the cause of speculation in grain and stocks.

Philadelphia Press: Young Allen Thurman, of Ohio, assures, the public that no Democrat having the least sympathy with protection can be elected governor of that state. He might have added that the prospect Is equally hopeless for any Republican who has the least sympathy with free trade. DInter Ocean: Certainly Republicans have no cause tor protest pgalnst the re-election of Mr. Calvin Stewart Brlce to the chairmanship of the Democratic national committee. Mr. Brlce's management of the Democratic campaign of 1888 was eminently satisfactory to the Republican party. His management of the Democratic campaign of 1802 can not fall of being equally satis factory.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Should the charges against the members of the Clan-na-Gael be substantiated the result will be the severest blow ever struck against secret societies formed for the liberation of Ireland from British rule. All the power of the English government could not do them so much harm. Men who commit such crimes in the name of liberty are liberty's worst enemies.

Philadelphia North American: The municipality of Johnstown survives the catastrophe, why should It not issue its bonds running twenty years at low Interest, with the understanding that the state will guaranty the bonds? With such a volume of money waiting investment Is it not probable that the bonds would be takes? Perhaps there might be some constitutional reason why this plan will not do, but If there be, somebody will be swift to discover It.

New York Times: Meanwhile the case brings sharply to the minds of the American people their own responsibility for the state of things that has Issued In the murder ot Cronln. There has been, almost since the IrlBh began te emigrate to this country and to take an Interest In American politics, a curious and disgraceful tenderness toward all persons who were supposed to have an Influence on the Irish vote. During the last few years this tolerance has been extended to a number of persons avowedly murderers, but In reality only deadbeats and swindlers, who collected a large sunt of money from their deluded compatriots uuder the pretense of procuring "outrages" In England and In Ireland, and spent a small part of It In the actual procurement of the outrages. If these people had been anything but professional Irishmen they would long ago have been expiating their crimes In prison. Because they are professional Irishmen they have permitted and encouraged to go on and organize In Chicago the Thuggee which they pretend to be organizing in England and Ireland. &.»

TIIE SAM BROWN RAID.-.

It Uauses a Sensation In Other Thiui Col ored Gambling Circles.

The jail was overrun with visitors from among the colored people yesterday, to see those whom the police had put in jail from Sam Brown's place on Saturday. The girls came to see their sweethearts and to get keepsakes from them, that were being worn in kind remembrance. Some came weeping, and others came sadly but less demonstrative in their sorrow. Others came to bring food to the prisoner. The most genererally remembered prisoner was Emma Bunch, colored, who was arrested on Friday night for drunkenness and breaking furniture, and is "laying out" a tine for drunkenness. The jailer said that more food had been brought to Emma Bunch than she could eat in a week. Of those who were taken from Brown's place Dan Raper, Allen McBroomer, Philip Burks, GUB

Carter and Sam Brown have been released on bond. Brown was released late Saturday night. There was considerable comment yesterday on the raid made on Brown, and the result of the raid was a quiet Sunday and Sundtfy night. Ever/ sporting resort seemed to be in the attitude of waiting for encouragement to proceed in the usual manner. Some of the uptown Main street games were closed and there was a general apprehension that retaliation would force the police authorities to raid their friends, the white gamblers.

THIS WORLD OF OURS.

The manner in wffich the world will end is not, perhaps, a matter of prim# importance to the present generation, but it is a question in regard to which even the unlearned may be permitted to be curious, says the

San Francisco Chron

icle. A sacred writer has remarked that when the final catastrophe comes the heavens will be rolled together as a scroll and the earth will melt with -Carvent heat. He had probably seen volcanoes, experienced earthquakes and so gathered eome idea of the irreBiBtible character of subterranean fofcee. A commonly received theory among scientists is that the atmosphere will gradually be absorbed into the surface of the earth that lakes, rivers and the seas will dry up, and in the process animal and vegetable life will necessarily disappear. Some writers on astronomy have dipictured with graphic and touching detail the last man in this withered and icy world retreating toward the equator aBd expiring in the oql/ locality where remained a drop of water and a lingering bit of vegetation. Recent writers have advanced other theories that are plausible, and suggest the coming of the catastrophe in an era not so remote. We know that the surface of the earth on which we live is a crust or shell spread thinly over we know not what. Under us are imprisoned forces capable of shattering the crust and annihilating us at any moment. We enjoy' regular seasons and a certain 'equability of climates owing to the fact that in its annual revolution round the sun the earth always presents its axis at a certain angle to that luminary, by which means we have alternately summer and winter. life depends on the amount of heat we receive from the sun, and the amount of heat on the obliquity with which its rays strike the earth's surface. The region' between the tropics receives them almost vertically, which renders the heat nearly insupportable. The temperate zones receive them at a greater angle, and the polar regions so obliquely that the amount of heat at the polee is infiniteeimal. As a consequence the pojar summer, though long, is cold, and insufficient to melt the vast masses of ice and snow accumulated during the winter, which renders all forms of life im poflsibte.

Let us suppose that by some unforseen contingency the earth were slightly turned from its present poeition in relation to the sun and compelled to present the ends of its axis at a different angle to that body. Then the sun's rays would be distributed over the surface of our planet in such a manner that what are now the torrid regions might become temparate, the temperate regions polar, and the polar regions, receiving the solar waves vertically, would become tropical. The regions which we now occupy would become sterile, covered with ice, and, of course, uninhabitable. Those of their teeming millions who were not frozen to death or had not perished by famine would be obliged to emigrate to the parts of the earth thus rendered temperate or tropical if in the new distribution these regions formed part of the dry land—that is, if they were not within the limits of the present ocean.

Astronomers will tell you that this suggestion is impossible and absurd. Why is it impossible? Geologists say that a great part of the United States and the northern part of Europe were some thousands of years ago covered with a coating of ice. The traces of its action remain in striated rooks, and immense snow bowlders torn from the mountains of which they formed a part, and carried to considerable distances. Similar effects of this glacial action are Been in the southern parts of South America and elsewhere on the earth's surface. On the other hand the islands north of Siberia and far within the polar circle are filled with the bones of animals that must have accumulated when there prevailed a torrid heat. What do these sigrfb of a climate that once prevailed in localities where another climate entirely different iB now found indicate? Simply that the angle of the axis of the earth and the ecliptic has changed several times since life began on its surface. This the astronomers —that is some ot them—say can not haipen again, because the earth has assumed the form of an oblate spheroid, that is, it is flattened at the poles, and has consequently an equatorial diameter greater by twenty-seven miles, more or less, than itsjpolar diameter.

The form given by scientists to the easah is undoubtedly nearly correct. It is the form that any ball of plastic matter would assume if made to revolve rapidly around any given axis. It being acknowledged that the poles of the earth have several timee ohanged positions was not before each change the difference between the equatorial diameter and polar diameter even greater than it is now on account of the greater plasticity of the earth's mass in those early geological epochs? Porhaps skeptical astronomers will rise and explain what reasons there were for theBe changes of place of the poles that do not still exist and, if they were the result of celestial accidents— such as contaot with comets or other heavenly bodies, changes in the sun, or subterranean action—whether those causes do not still operate Bnd may not again exercise as potent an influence. We know that some 609 years ago parts of Greenland were habitable that are now covered with ice and snow. This would seem to suggest causes still in operation. Any one who observes the weather knows that for the last quarter of a century the springs have been later and colder, and that the greater frequency of cyclones and tornadoes indicates some radical changes of climate. Ask any observant man of three score and ten what was the oharacter-of the Be neons fifty yeam ago, and ten to one he will tell you that the winter broke up and fruit trees were in blossom a month earlier than now.

But this is net all. A careful examination of a map of the world will show that the northern and southern hemispheres are unequally balanced as regards the distribution of land and water. Neatly all the land is north of the equator, there being south of that line only the southern part of Africa and South America. Australia and some islands of no great importance. Here is another element of instability, the nothern half weighing, as his been ascertained by an accurate calculation, many billions of tons more than the southern half. There is a supposition that the flatness ot poles is the same, but this is based on geodetic surveys, nearly all of which have been in the northern hemisphere. Take a body of any form, and if the parts are not equally distributed about its axis, if one end of it is larger or heavier than the other, it will in popular parlanoe, "wobble that is, if it has freedom of movement. What is to prevent the earth's wobbling or deviating slightly from its plane of rotation, if one end of it is heavier than the other or

has not precisely the same form? The/

Randolph Uncles to be Ordained at Haiti more bj Cardinal Gibbons.

Cardinal Gibbons will shortly perform the initiatory ceremony toward ordaining the first colored priest in the United States by admitting Randolph Uncles to the clerical state. The ceremony of the tonsure, the act of cutting the hair, and receiving the robes of the ohurch will take place at the cathedral on June 21. The candidate is a Baltimorean, and one of the* first students to enter St. Joseph's seminary. He is studying at that institution and attending lectures at St. Mary's seminary. He will work among the colored people. The only colored priest in the country was ordained in Rome and is stationed in Illinois. St. Joseph's seminary wes established to train clergy for work among the colored people. Heretofore ministers for missionary work have been drawn from England. The first two ordinations for this field will be made on the 2ist, by the cardinal. Romano Ferrer, one of the candidates, is a native of Spain, and has studied at Barcelona, and the other, Michael J. Heffeman, is a native of Philadelphia, and has studied in England. Both have attended St. Joseph's seminary. ___

Referring to the blue grass region of Kentucky and its fine horses, a young lady of Mississippi was visiting that section and was entertained at a dinner party at the governor's mansion. During the course of the dinner a degenerate son of the governor talked loosely about things in general, and among them of a visit through Mississippi, remarking that he had not

The earth, it will be seen, has undergone many changes more remarkable than a future change of the poeition of its north pole forty or fifty degrees to the southwest, or into the midst of the parar dise that we call California. It is a frail body and in a universe that is full of uncertainties. Fixed stars, the suns of other planetary systems, have burned up in space before our eyes. Changes are going on in the sun of whose effects we are at liberty to imagine the worst. Let the north pole change its place to some point near the northern shore of Lake Superior and the whole United States would become uninhabitable. A new race of Esquimaux might possibly, in that event, live on the northern shore of the Gulf of Mexico. It it should be transferred to the mouth of the Mississippi, a retreat of those who could get away to the northern part of British America or to Greenland would be in order. That one of these changes of axis might also result in the end of all things earthly is among the possibilities.

The statistics ot oeal production, which we publish in our usual market report, says the Engineering and Mining Journal, show that during the month of August the shipment ot anthracite from the Pennsylvania mines amounted to 4,097,563 gross tons, which is the largest anthracite output aver made ia one month, and is at- the rate of 49,000/300 tons a year.

During the eight months of the present year the shipments ot anthracite to market have amounted to 26,619^291 tons, being 1,755,495 in excess of the shipments during the corresponding period in 1887. During- ihe months of September, October, November and December, 1887, the shipments amounted to 12,777,222 tons, and as we Bhall certainly largely exceed that amount this year it appears probable that we shall send to market this year 37,500,000 or 38,000,000 tons of anthracite. If we include the coal sold and ussd at the mines, say 6 per cent, of the shipment, the grand total output for the year will probably amount to 40,000,000 groas tons. The average waste of anthracite in mining and preparation for market has been cartf ully estimated from many reliable data by the geological survey of Pennsylvania as follows: Coal left in pillars, etc 45 per cent Coal lost In mining by Masting, etc.... 15 percent Breaker waste 16 per cent, ot 40 per cent JoA per cent

Total loss .6&4 percent

Orv only about one-third of the coal goes to the market if, therefore, we produce 40,000.000 this year, it represents the exhaustion of 120,000,000 tons of our available aupply, and this does not now muchf if at all, exceed 9,000,030,000 tons. At the pressnt rate of production and present amount of waste in mining our entire supply of anthracite coal will only laat seventy-five yean. This statement is not based on any mere guess, but is founded on reliable data, and it is so startling in its significance that it ahould certainly attract the attention of the managers of our great coal companies, and even of the government of the state of Pennsylvania. It is not claimed that we have yet reached our maximum production, and every increase meanB that the coal will be worked out in proportionately lees time than here stated.

Long before the supply has been exhaueted the demand for anthracite will have exceeded the supply, and prices will be limited only by the price of other fuels and, as cheap fuel is the foundation of industrial proeperity, it is not difficult to imagine the reeulting effect on the industries of a large part of this country. The pressnt enormous, disgracsful, and unnecessary waste in mining anthracite should be stopped, and if the inter eata of the great coal companies are not sufficient to impel them to do this, then the government of the state, which is the guardian of the citizens' interests, should intervene to feave these from the disastrous consequences of the spendthrift policy of those who monopolize our invaluable supplies of this fuel.

BELFAST,

N. Y., June 15.—Muldoon

and Sullivan have had a serious quarrel at Muldoon's summer residence. Last night Sullivan waa practicing with the sandbags and balls. Muldoon made some suggestion, and Sullivan replied roughly.

Muldoon said that he should conduct himself as a gentleman, and should have no quarrel.

He then walked away. Sullivan went to the Church hotel and got gloriously drunk and tried to run the house. There was consternation among the citizens, for it was evident that the great slugger was bent on a frightful drunk. Since his arrival he has been the wonder of the rustics. He gave out that he had quit drinking, and said Muldoon was giving him the best training he ever had in his life.

At the hotel he drove the bar-tender out of the house because he was refused liquor. He took his poeition behind the bar and helped himself liberally, as well as those of his acquaintances who chanced to be about. After he got his jag on he turned suller, and sat through the night in a chair on the hotel steps.

To-day he was drunk again, and

Bwore

that he would not go back to Muldoon's house if he never met Kilrain. The justice of the peace drove over to Angelica to get Arthur Mcintosh, the only lawyer living here, who was engaged there at court. Sullivan will be arrested and locked up it he doesn't behave himself.

As the train dashed along the rigor became more intense, and when he ran into the station he was almost complety paralyzed. His left arm alone was capable of action, and with that he shut off steam and turned on the brakee, for the last time stopping his train at the station.

Tiger shooting continues to be excellent sport in India, there seeming to be no diminution in the supply of the fierce creatures. An Englishman writes home: "On two occasions I shot three together one lot in a thicket over a bullock tbey had killed, the other three over a 'kill' by moonlight. They were quite unsophisticated and, as one was killed on the spot by the first shot, the others returned in a few minutes, evidently thinking it was all right, as their comrade had stayed behind. I shot one of these, when the other again soon returned, and got the three before nine o'clock. Next day I came suddenly to a splendid male tiger face to face and on foot. He had come to eat a dead ele phant, which I had gone to have a look at. I shot him dead on the spot."

A singular accident happened to Henry Epps, of Sparta, Ga., recently while on the point of threshing oats. One of the bands connected with the separator took a pistol out of his pocket and laid it on a shelf near by. Epps, thinking it looked like a pistol that was lust at the burning of a mill several days before, picked it up and began to examine it. He cocked it and was letting down the hammer—the muzzle pointed toward the ground—when the weapon went off. Feeling a Budden pain in the region of one of his eyes, he supposed that apart of the cap from the pistol had entered it. Growing painful, he went to a doctor, who examined the wound and cut out a piece of the pistol bullet from under the eye—or, rather, from under part of the eye, in which it was imbedded.

As the object was neared it appeared as a woman dressed in white and of giant size. The psrty, with much bravery, advanced, when the ghost began to move backward, getting larger and larger, finally disappearing as if in an explosion. The party ran in fright. On the ground where it disappeared the next day the following was found traced in the sand: "I come to warn all who may see me, or read these lines, that unless sinners rent of their evil ways and ask God's eir poi The end of time being close at hand it
