Some one must have thrown a brick at the Gazette.
The Gazette's attack on Kolsem and apology for Fitzpatrick exposes its animus more plainly each day it grows excited and lets th«»,reftrler t-b« mesning- between the lines.
'I\vo hundred Vigo county teachers are meeting in the city every day this week trying to get better ideas as to their duties. There is a reliance in these teachers far above that we put in those who are 6hosen public servants to administer the laws and affairs of government and it renews the faith we have in our way of doing things in this country.
The mugwump press is nothing if not startlingly original. The New \ork Times now liads cause for the defeat of Mahone in Virginia in the alleged effort of that lighter of fighters to prevent General Harrison receiving the electoral vote of Virginia. Indeed, the Times says, in effect, that the vote of Virginia should have been cast for Harrison. We have no doubt of it but the Times is not yet enough conscience-smitten to tell the truth about the perversion of the vote of Virginia.
Jn all these "race wars" and "negro uprisings" you will tind, even according to the story that comes to us from bourbon press sources, that the inception of the trouble was in a dispute botween a white man and a negro and of course we are expected to take the white man's story as the truth. It will also be noticed though the negroes are reported to be heavily armed and collected in groups up in the hundreds that in the contlict none of the "best citizens" are injured and only negroes killed.
Tho Northern Illinois operators have reached an agreement with their miners. That is to say, all of them except Scott, •"Hill" Scott, the spokesman of the big man from Buffalo, when the latter was masquerading as a student of public affairs. Mr. Scott has sont word to close all his mines and evict his tenants.
When Carnegie said he would close, Mr. VoorhePB wanted to hang him. Why not hang Cleveland's Scott? When all is over, this coal miners' strike, and the use of charity for political effect, will sorely plague the men who, without due consideration, grabbed at the opportunity for a political advantage.
The Washington Post, which started the discussion as to the removal of the remains of General Grant, has received tho opinions of many governors and nearly all favor the removal, but the general opinion is that the wishes of the family should be consulted. The most credible advices are that the family prefer that the remains should not be taken from Riverside park. That should linally determine the question, at least so long as any member of the family lives to give voice to the wish. It was their choice that the interment was had at Riverside, but it is a shame to the grout city that neglect now most prominently marks the place of sepulture.
Kansas City seems to be in need of being advertised as a town whose people are very verdant in the ways of the world. A Chicago gambler cheats a cattleman who thought he could play poker out of thousands of dollars, and another resident gives up his money and wife because he is accused of stepping on the toes of a stranger. There is something suspicious in these reports. Not long ago the country was entertained with reports of the remarkably clever tricks of Kansas City people in relieving the unwary visitor. Perhaps the new stories are intended to renew the influx of strangers, which ceased when it came to bo understood that the fleecing of strangers was the chief occupation of the residents.
Heginnlni with this week, citizens who neglect to mow their weed patches are to be prosecuted imiler the city ordinance. Indianapolis Journal.
That statement is Greek to the people of Terre Haute. Prosecute people for violating a law or ordinance? We don't enforce the cow ordinauce, the mad dog proclamation, the state law against gambling or auvthing else here, and so it ie, by the way, that the people in general seeing the failure to enforce the laws by those chosen to do so, pay no attention to any ordinary requirement as to "weeds." Any Terre llaute citizen is ready to argue with you that the growth of weeds is not so rank as the growth of crime winked at by the authorities. And after vanquishing you in the argument the citizen will complacently observe the growth of weeds and all other intlictions of bad sanitation.

THE COUNCfl'S OPPORTUNITY.
The city council meets this evening, and we hope the members,who so keenly felt the lash of public disapproval in the matter of the gravel pit sale, will act with more wisdom than they did on the frenzied appeals of our esteemed contemporary., the Gazette. By the special meeting and the resolution instructing the city attorney to institute legal proceedings the council simply attracted more attention to their capacity for blundering. The Gazette was incensed at the man who bought the gravel pit, not

all
other things pertaining to old
soldiers, made a much-to-do about it. General Sherman, however, understands it. He says:

EXCHANGE ECHOES.
Baltimore American: If the state of Illinois wants to convict the Cronin murderers It must protect Its witnesses. No efforts should be spared to secure the conviction ol the men who attempted to assassinate Hus (Jlahre. ({lobe-Democrat: The Ohio bourbons say that trusts area direct outgrowth of the protective policy. If this doctrine be true, then England, which has at least three trusts to every one in the United States, must have a tariff which is prohibitory.
Chicago Tribune: The sugar trust continues to put the able Democratic Journals in an unpleasant quandary, if they keep silent concerning that monopoly they are suspected ot being friendly to it. and If they denounce it and advocate the abolition of the sugar tax as a way of squelching it they are guilty of heresy In attacking the Mills bill, one of the ciirdinal principles of Democracy.
New York Press: Not satisfied with having ordered his Spring Valley coal mines shut down, because the miners wanted 90 cents a day, Prominent Democrat Scott has discharged his superintendent and general manager, Charles J. Devlin, who was very popular with the miners. The reason given for the discharge, according to the Democratic World's Illinois special. Is that Devlin was too lenient with the miners. The chances are that Devlin has a heart In his bosom and warm red blood In his veins. Instead of a sour pear and a creek of gall, which are supposed to be the corresponding portions of Scott's anatomy.

prophecy of the
ability and integrity with which Mr. Mendenhall will conduct the affairs of his present position may be readily made from the manner in which he executed a previous trust under the United States signal service. It had long been a mooted question whether observations of the electric conditions of the atmosphere would be of service in effecting more accurate weather predictions. To investigate this matter a department was established, with Mr. Mendenhall as chief. Instead of dawdling along, aa many would have done, and making his position practically perpetual, he prosecuted bis work with vigor and despatch: the results of which will presently be available in the form of a government report. As soon as he had satisfied himself that the electric currents of the atmosphere are of
