The Gazette supports the proposed reduction of city salaries as a means of retrenchment of expenses. Of course, it does. The proposition reduced $2,200 of Republican salaries and less than $300 of Democratic salaries. Again, the Gazette believes in low wage?. It pays the lowest wages of any daily newspaper in the state and would conduct the city government on the same plan. A few weeks ago it said that other men would do the work for less pay—that is, pay starvation wages if you can find starving men who will accept them but under no consideration pay what the work is worth to the employer. Suppose that of the thirte9n Democratic police officials about police headquarters, men who do not walk a beat, be laid off, or ten of them, say, at an average of |800 a year? Here you have a reduction of $8,000, more than three times as much as by the proposition advocated by the Gazette, and the men who are left on the pay roll will continue to earn fair wages. t1,/
A LITTLE TARDY BUT WELCOME.
While our esteemed contemporary, the Gazette, afford us constant amusement it rarely enlists more serious attention. It is so seldom that it says the right thing that we do not complain that what it said yesterday should have been Baid some time ago. Indeed, so hopeful are we that at -last it has acquired the courage to face 'the loss of a few saloon subscribers and the displeasure of the saloonkeepers who furnish it with their annual saloon advertisements (which they did laBt month) that we believe it may be of service in securing the adoption of a saloon license. This is what it said, in part, yesterday:
Terre Haute should follow the example of nearly every city and town In the state and levy some saloon license.
The city Is not heavily In debt, in fact her debt Is much less than that of all other cities of equal size in the state, but her tax-rate is outrageously high. There ought to be and must be a sharp decrease in expenses, in salaries, number of men employed and In all other directions, which, with a revenue derlvrd from saloon license, will enable the council to not only greatly reduce these absurdly high taxes but also provide the proper sinking funds for the paying of the debt and the" improvement of the streets, building of sewers, etc.
The Gazette is eminently correct ia this too: But if the city tax is high and the call for economy great, the same is more true of the county. The commissioners rerently made .an increase of 28centeon the $100 of county 'tax, raising the rate to $1.46, the grea^st single Increase ever made. All brandies of the county government are run at too great expense. There should be curtailment In the courts, in the maintenance of the court house building, its expensive heating, lighting, elevator, etc., and in all branches of the county government.
We would not say a word calculated to weaken the force of this argument were it not for the fact that to-day there is a claim against the county of about $2,000 made by the sheriff which in plain truth is little short of a gouge, that the Gazette has vigorously upheld, the sheriff beiDg one of its best patrons. Perhaps, now, the Gazet' 3 is willing to stand by the people as against the gouger. Indeed, there is a hint in this concluding paragraph that it, iirst of all, wants to stoad from under arising storm of popular indignation, even though to escape it must forsake the councilmen who threw $200 of the Main street boodle into its money drawer and sheriff and saloonkeepers who have had reason to believe that it we a one of them:
There comes a limit to this thing. People will ask themselves what they get In return for so much ontlay. They will Inquire if the whole present system of jurisprudence could not profitably be abolished If city and county management could not better be let to lowest bidder, and they will make sweeping revolutionary changes. In several directions and no doubt commit many mistakes. In the hope of reforming what they now believe to be the source of so much taxation burden.

There was a young man who was a drygoods clerk, And the girl which he loved, at t'ie same place did work He lovr her so dearly and she loved him someJust enougli for to blow him for Ice-cream and gum.
Says he to this maiden, "will you marry me?" Says she then unto lilni, "it can't never be— I think it is proper that a handsome young girl Like me ought to marry a duke or a earl." With his shears then he stabbed hlsself and fell on the tloor, And swallowed his tapellne, some three feet or more, And a rich female customer, with a tear In her eye. Says "Oh what a pity such a nice man should die."
She put him in her carriage and did take htm home, And asked him to marry her no more to roam, Which the same he did do so, I'm happy to tell, As soon as the wound In his side did get well.
About this young shopgirl—what became of her? One day she did marry a hod carrier, And ott?n at evening she does drop a tear, Which mingles quite sadly with her glass of beer.

Jim Reechler, the millionaire gambler from the rough-and-tumble Weet, won $36,000 at faro in one sitting a few nights ago, says the Chicago Times. The game was played in the Pennsylvania club house, run by the Dalye at Long Branch, and has excited considerable interest among the gambling fraternity throughout the country. Other big stakes have been made in the same locality, some of which were won by Chicago men.
Pat Sheedy went to New York last November and took a fall out of Fitzgerald's, comer of Sixth avenne and Thirty-first street. Pat got out with a roll that footed up in the neighborhood of $40,000. That was enough to satisfy any ordinary man, but as Pat was there he concluded to work the people for all they were worth. Then he went around to Frank McCarthy's, Thirty-first and Broadway, and swelled his roll with $20,000. He came home with it, and lost a good portion on the election, but he isn't "broke" yet.
Pat Duffy, another estimable gentleman, went down to Saratoga last summer. He also took a dip in a faro game at Charlie Reed's layout and came away with $23,000. He lived on the fat of the land for awhile.
Another lucky man was John Ryan, of Chicago. Last Friday Ryan won $7,800. He made a good portion of it at the races in the afternoon and the rest at a quiet game of faro in the evening. Mat Hogan won $6,0fo) at faro last Saturday night at one sitting and he didn't work very hard either. But probably the biggest winning made in one sitting in the last decade was the bank account "Dink" Davies brought home from New York about five years ago. Davies wasn't gone long, but he got back with $75,000. The Eastern men give a wider limit than the gamblers here, and a nervy man can make a stake if luck is on his side. "A hundred to one, bookmakers' odds, he didn't make that winnin'," said "Onearmed" Schimmel.
John gave vent to this remark on reading what he called the pipe story. A small, but select, circle of experts in the green baize business sat around a table in the rear room of a Clark Btreet saloon, discussing Mr. Reschler's alleged phenomenal winning. "No, sir," continued Schimmel. "This Rustler, or Reschler,! or whatever his name is, didn't make that winnin', not with the limit he had. considering the length of the game. During the twelve hours he played the limit was $100 half the time, ana $500 on until he quit. He was $50,000 ahead at one time, but cashed in $35,000 winner at the end of the game. No, sir, the Btory's too thin for me to swallow." "Me, too," put in another sport. "He couldn't have done it had he won every double, and he certainly didn't do that." "I made a big winnm' once myself," continued old John with a far-away look in his eyes, "and lost some big bets, all in one sitting, but I quit winner. It was over on Clark street, about three years ago, when Carter was holding the strings. Sam Dahl, John Condon and Jeff Hawkins were running the layout, and things were booming. One night I started in on a faro game and pulled out $11,0C0 on one deal. I felt like kicking myself when 1 dropped $9,500 in six turnB. This was tough, but my heart was wellnigh broken when $1,890 of my pile went on the last turn. Then I got out with what I had left. I'm no slouch dealing faro myself, and I've got an interest in a joint on the West Side. If this millionaire Jim from the West wants to try me awhile I'll give him a bigger limit than he got at Long Branch." "That's what," remarked another sport. "There's just as big games runring in Chicago as there is at Long Branch or any other place." "They make a great fuss over a big winnin'," continued Schimmel, "but there's been some fat boodles dropped right here in Chicago, too, and not much fusB made over it either. Now, there was Mickey Frieze. Poor Mickey, he's dead now, but he was a stayer when he was in the business. He could make or lose a fortune at one sitting and never even turn a hair. In 1877, some time in July, Mickey had an interest in a house at 111 Madison street and was worth some money. One night Mickey was in his place when a gambler, George Edmunson, or Jack Day, as he was called, stepped up to Frieze and said: 'Mickey, I've dropped my pile and I'm dead broke. Will you give me 75c to get my supper?'
Certainly,' says Mickey—he was a good-hearted fellow—and shoving his hand in his pocket he pulls out $1 and says: 'Here, Jack, go and get your supper. Or, hold on a minute, I'll just sit down and win that 75 cents for you.' "Mickey started into the game with that $1, and played sixteen hours. Abe Sheppard and Dan Quinn were playing against him, and it was one of the biggest games of faro ever played in this town. Mickey lost $35,000, including his interest in the house, but he never blinked an eye— couldn't have been cooler if he had lost 35 cents instead of 835,000. He had just $3.75 in his clotheB when he walked out of the plase, but his loss was not weighing him down to any great extent. Why, the first friend he met he asked him what the score was in the ball game that afternoon, just as coolly as if that was all he cared to know just then. A few steps farther on he met 'Steamboat' Charlie, a shoe-string robber and deadbeat, who was always hanging around the boys. Charlie struck Mickey for a loan, and what does Mickey do but go down for his $3.75, and give it to the robber without a murmur." "How about Edmunson—did he get the price of a supper from Mickey?"
But Schimmel had disappeared. "I made a tolerable fair winning myself the other night," spoke up Charlie Winship, a smooth-faced young man who has the reputation of being the biggest plunger for a lad of any sport in town. "I went over one night about a week ago with $1,2C0 and tackled the faro layout. At 3 o'clock in the morning I quit with 25 cents in my inside pocket. The rest of my pile was in the bank, but it wasn't subject to my order. I hadn't made up my mind whether to take a street-car or walk home, when a friend came along and says: "Let's go up and buck." "We went. I started in with my twobits and by daylight hauled out $6,000. I've got it yet, 'but riches take unto themselves wings and fly away' in this business."
A short Bilence followed this apt quotation. Then Schimmel appeared again and shoved up his ante. "About a year and a half ago," he said, "a restaurant waiter who didn't know anything about gambling, strolled in with one solitary $5 bill in his jeanB. He went to 'bucking' with his $5, and in eight or ten dayB won $23,000. Then he was a flyer. He drank champagne, filled up on high-prioed feed, and rode in a hack, still gambling between times. But his luck changed, and in lees than a

week he had hia legs done up in a white apron, with pockets in it for 5c, 10c, and 15c meal chips. He went to taking orders in a restaurant for a living, and drank common lager beer from a tin-cup for pastime. That's the way it is in this business. A man is up in the ether one day and dowa in the bottomless pit in the next." 'John ought to know, as he has ADgerea the pasteboards for some time now, and it is said that he has made more money selling bricks than any other gambler in town.
LOW BAT1S FOB MILITIA-
On to Indianapolis Is the Word Among the State Troops.
Adjutant General Ruokle has done for the Indiana militia what men with powerful influence couldn't do for the Grand Army of the Republic—he has secured a one-cent rate for the round trip for all the militiamen of the state who attend the encampment, to begin Monday next, says the Indianapolis News. All the companies in the state are being notified of the arrangement.
In accordance with Colonel Ruckle's order, the militia will march for Indianapolis bright and early Monday morning. The First regiment, under the command of Colonel Ewing, will come in a body on a special train from Evansville. On the train will be companies B, F, G, H, and a separate company from Terre Haute, and a separate company from Cannelton, also the Rockville battery. The train, which will be handsomely decorated, will leave Evansville at 9:16 a. m. and will reach this city at 4 p. m. The Second, Third and Fourth regiments will come in on the regular train to suit the convenience of the companies. Each regiment will be accompanied by a band of muBic.
The equipage for the encampment will be removed to the camp ground Saturday by
Quartermaster Pope. Noth
ing, however, will be placed in position until Monday, as each company is required to spread its own tent, and complete other arrangements for camp life.

Necessary for the Record.
By way of statistics, it is stated by Charles A. Bookwalter, secretary of the state printing bureau, that the last general assembly used 93 quarts of ink, 37 quarts of mucilage, 1,286 lead pencils, 2,016 pens, 225 ink wells, 1,552 pen holders, 318 erasers, 18,144 paper fasteners, 2,209 sheets of blotting paper, 22,228 rubber bands, 971 pads of writing paper, 50sheets to the pad 149 waste baskets, 49 paper-weights and 8,960 sheets of wrapping paper. All of this was necessary, it is to be inferred, to frame and hand down to posterity the record that was made.—[Indianapolis

Condition of the Crops.
In the last weather-crop bulletin of the Indiana weather-service, in co-opera-tion with the United States signal service, it is reported that the wheat harvest has ended in the southern and central portions of the state, and is near completion in the northern. The yield is good in quality and average in quantity, and but little injury has been done by the aphis, which, during the past week, disappeared entirely. Corn is growing rapidly, with Buch moist and warm temperature as prevailed during the last week. Oats-cutting will commence very soon,— [Indianapolis Journal.

Machine Democrats Said to be Working For Sim far INI.
NEW YORK, July 16.—A rumor is current in political circles that a deal has been made whioh shelves ex-President Cleveland permanently and places ex-Sec-retary of the Navy William C* Whitney in the lead as the Democratic presidential for 1892. Last week there win an influx of Democratic leaders from Ohio to see Colonel Brice, chairman of the Democratic national committee, and their presence here is considered by shreWd Cleveland Democrats as another link in the chain of evidence to prove that a deal has been made. A prominent Cleveland Democrat said to a reporter to-day that he had every reason to believe that the machine Democrats had dropped Mr. Cleveland.
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, was at first opposed to the election of Colonel Brice on the Democratic national committee. He felt that the oolonel repre-
Seveland,
ated the free trade tariff ideas of Mr. and he did not wish to have another campaign on the same issue ss 1888. His opposition to Colonel Brice was assuming definite shape when the leaden "got together" and mapped out a oourse that placated the Maryland senator and made him an enthusiastic supporter of Colonel Brice. The deal was that William C. Whitney should have the support of the oommittee for the presidency in 1892, and that Colonel Brice should be elected chairman and then make a strong fight for the senate from Ohio. If he failed succeed Seaator Payne then he was to be supported by the committteefor the vice presidency*
Matters have worked well since the alleged deal. Colonel Brice was elected chairman and Senator Gorman was heartily in his support. The RandallGorman wing of the Democracy is now on«top and has won over the prominent Cleveland Bemocrats by promising that they are to be well taken care of if the national ticket wins in 1892. All is serene and the plan is working well. ExPresident Cleveland still thinks his most influential friends are for him, and they permit him to indulge in the flattering delusion. Efforts are now being made to help Colonel Brice to the senate from Ohio. Ex-Congressman Benjamin 1«fevre, the colonel's right hand man, is now in the Buckeye state doing what he can to help elect a Democratic legislature. If a Democratic legislature is elected Colonel Brice will assuredly succeed Senator Payne.
Chairman Townsend, of the Democratic state committee of Ohio, Allen O. Meyers, and others were in the city last Friday and Saturday. It is supposed that the purpose of the visit was to confer about the Ohio election. Allen O. Meyers, of Cincinnati, is too well known to go into details about him. He detests Cleveland and never loses an opportunity to show how happy he is tnat the man of destiny was defeated. It is said the Standard oil people are pleased at the outlook for Mr. Whitney as a presidential candidate.
A GENTLEMAN VAGRANT.
He D|fdi In Spurlons Bonds and Does a Pretty Banking Business.
NEW YORK, July 17.—A special to the Sun from Toronto says: Edmund Von Horst, a stylishly-dressed German, 24 years of age, was arrested this afternoon on the charge of vagrancy. The real cause of the arrest was a suspicion that he is concerned in selling spurious bonds, which he alleges are issued by E. H. Horner, banker, 88 Wall street, New York. The address of the Boston agent is given as 66 State street, which, the detectives understand, is the address of Brown Brothers, the well-known bankers.
Enormous premiums are offered, ranging from $50,000 to $2,000,000. By the payment of $5 it was said the purchaser secured a share in the distribution, and the bond became his absolute property on the payment of nineteen other installments of $5 each. The bonds to be given away are Bucharest premium bonds, Austrian Red Cross bonds, Italian Red Cross bonds, Hollandish White Cross bonds and Italian gold premium bonds.
Von Horst professes to be intirely innocent of anything wrong, and asserts that he secured the agency for the bonds through the medium of an advertisement inserted by Mr. Horner.
ACCIDENT AT A CIRCUS.
Seats Fall Down and Many People Hurt at Mllford, Mass.
MILFORD, Mass., July 17.—At an exhibition here last evening of W. H. Bristol & Co's circus, two different sections of seats caved in with hundrdes of pie thereon. The performance hardly begun when one-third of the Beats on the entire west side of the tent gave way, and, with six hundred people, fell with a crash. Several persons were badly hurt and hundreds more or less bruised. Physicians were summoned and the broken seats and injured people removed.
The performance had just been resumed when half of the reserved seats section with 200 more spectators fell in. This created a panic and it was with much difficulty that order was restored without serious injury to more people. It was found that the supports of the seats in the wet ground had been forced down by overcrowding. In the second accident no one was seriously hurt but many were slightly cut and bruised.
The Shah's Gorgeous Dress and Diamonds.
His costumes have been something absolutely gorgeous. The gold belt around his waist is fastened with the biggest emerald in the world. He wears breastpins of enormous diamonds, besides which he has a tremendous aigrette of brilliants in his hat and strings of precious stones scattered all over him. A man who understands such things saw him at the opera and said that he would be very glad to buy him as he stood for $1,000,000 and return him next day unharmed minus his clothes. His majesty wears, among other ornaments, the sash of the Order of the Garter, to the center of which he has fastened his enormous diamond called the Sea of Light. The man who had valued his majesty at $1,000,000 did not notice this at firet, but when he did he admitted that he was willing to increase his price considerably.—[London Cable.

8YLYIA, THE SYLPH.
She Has the Most Wonderful Legs and Feet la the World.
This .Sylvia Gerrish, bx. the way, is ope of the most remarkable women on the' stage, writes a New York correspondent of the Chicago News. She isn't pretty, she can't aing, but she has the most wonderful legs and feet in the world. Nothing like them has ever been seen before, nothing ever will sgain. They have walked with her right into fame, popularity and a big salary. She doesn't sing anything or say anything,
Bhe
simply walks down to the
footlights, poses and prances, turns round and round so that they may be seen from every point, not even undertaking to dance with these beautiful lefp leat such muscular effort might spoil their faultless symmetry, and the enthusiastic audience cheers her with one accord and wants her to do it over and over again, which she is never loath to do. She stands five feet five inches on her French heels, but the slippers to whioh these heels are attached are only marked No. 1, and by honest oount, too.' The owner of the Thistle BO worshipped those beautiful feet that he filled one of her tiny satin slippers with champaigns, drank Co the success of his boat, and then nailed it to the cutter's mast, and, though it didn't bring him luck, he did not cease to worship at the owner's feet until his defeated racer bore him away from our shares. These beautiful legs served excellently as sea legs as well. The owner is one of the most ardent yachtswomen that ever sailed the seas, and she can handle a wheel against any female on this coast. She has lovely apartments here in New York, littered all over with bric-a-brac, which divides her affection with the sea and Wagner's music, and she really has some very good possessions in this line. Exquisite old Moorish drinking cups of gold and silver, covered with most beautiful incised work, old Persian vases, Japanese porcelains and Aztec pottery, all of which have been presents to her. And sprinkled in among these are every sort of sea trophies, including an endless number of photographs of the yachts, some of which she has bought and many taken herself, for she is a skilled amatuer photographer, like nearly every other person one knowB nowadays.
I Bed Hair and the Pale Horse.
Ried hair is a point, and a strong one at that, against a man when he attempts to have his life insured. This is what the Savannah medical examiner for a number of associations told a reporter: "It seems strange to most men when I tell this," he continued, "but the facts at hand in the main offices of the insurance companies show that the risk is greater upon persons whose hair is of that color than others. They seem to be disposed toward consumption or other lung troubles. As a result examiners pay especial attention to them. Even when, they show not the slightest trace of a possible pulmonary complaint they often develop its worst form in a comparatively short time. It is not an infallible rule, of course, that red hair means lungs predisposed to disease, but it ia so often the case that the insurer feels justified in exercising unusual precautions in reference to that class of applicants." —[Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
Brought Back to Life.
NEW YORK, July 17.—A special to the World from Atlanta says: A month has passed since John Pickett expiated the crime of murder on the gallows. The memory of the event has been re-awak-ened in a remarkable manner. A report comes from Sumpter county that Pickett is Btill alive and living in that portion of the state that after hanging his body was taken in charge by friends, who worked successfully at resuscitation. The story has created a good deal of interest in this city, for if Pickett is still alive and can be apprehended, the question is whether he can be hanged again.
4 A Suitable Adviser.
A gentleman was one lamenting to a friend the conduct of his son. "You should speak to him with firmness, and remind him of his duties," said the other. "He pays no attention to what I say. He listens only to the advice of fools." Then, with a sudden thought, "I wish you would epeak to him!"—[San Francisco Wasp.

CINCINNATI, Julv 17.—A Paducab, Ky., special says that yesterday the 3-years-old child of Italian parents, passengers on the steamer Gus Fowler, fell overboard. Henry Shelton, a colored fireman, sprang into the river and caught the child, but it clung to his neck in such a way that both were drowned. Shelton's body was recovered and a subscription was taken to give it burial. a?
Mr. Cleveland Will Fish Awhile.
NEW YORK, July 17.—A special to the World from Wareham, Masa, says: Ex-President Grover Cleveland will probably spend a week or more in the contemplative pastime of angling. He left here at 10:29 this morning on his way to Sagamore, where, as the guest of Mr. John Knowlton, he will acquire a healthy tan, and probably additional laurelB as the lander of big fish.
