That gravel pit suit seems to have got into the quicksand.
The council has a splendid opportunity this evening to redeem itself by paesing the license ordinance.
The $250 ordinance, if passed to-night, will not only redeem the city's credit, but will be a temperance measure of wise effect.
The reports of Candidate Campbell's speeches in Ohio say that he makes no attempt to reply to Senator Sherman'speech. Of course not. The senator discussed public affairs, while Campbell is only too glad to take up the issue of a forged signature and indulge in personal attacks.
Tne Democrats are talking about the "purchasable patriotism" of the G. A. Tv, referring to the dependent pension measure. Whenever you hear a man talking in that strain it is a very safe bet that his patriotism could not be purchased, with bounty or what not. at the time that patriotism sent men to the war.

Here is a full confession, at last. We know what- a mugwump is now. He refrains from exercising the privilege and duty of a man by not voting. Perhaps, on closer examination it could be shown that a mugwumpjis not entitled to a vote.
The mercantile nations of Europe are growing more and more alarmed by reason of the congress of delegates from the American nations. For the first time in many years (hey feel that the Lnited States is about to take to itself the trade to which it
iB
entitled, and which they
have monopolized because of the indifference of this government toward it. The balance of trade that should be in our favor, and which South American countries would willingly give to us, too long has been against us, the European nations acting as middlemen and clearance houses for us.
Kvansvllle will have to have llrst-class sprint? and full races In order to be up with the times. Terre Haute's races attract great attention, as well as travel, to that place. Let our borse fanciers go to work and furnish some ilrst-rate sport next year.—[Kvansvllle Journal.
The example set by Terre Haute in the matter of race meetings will not be the (lrat which Evausville has followed. Soon after the Terre llaute Business men's association was organized aome years Bgo and began running excursions to the city Evaneville followed
Buit,
but
we must say that our sister city has far outstripped us in that direction. The magnificent opera house building about to be formally opened there is a monument to an association of public spirited citizens who work enthusiastically and in harmony to promote the welfare of their city. By all means let Evansville have race meetings. Terre Haute will seud Ax (ell to them.
A ROLL 01- H0N0K.
It is now Bn ascertained fact that the investment of SoOO to secure Axtell for au effort to beat the record is the best advertisement Terre Haute has had in many years. The city bns been made a center of interest for ail parts of the country, from ocean to oceun and from the lakes to the gulf. The newspapers throughout the ("uited States have given prominence to the remarkable racing events here last week, the greatest of which was the Axtell success,
The Axtell event is wholly due to the liberality of some of our citizens in contributing to the special purse. The wonderful horse had tried to beat hia record and failed, but the inducement of the special purse caused his owner to make the second attempt on F,iday by which the city secured not alone the recognition of the country as the place where three records were beaten in one trial, but also secured the presence here next year of the most remarkable horse ever known. The advertisement for the city will "pay" ten times over the amount of money expended, and it is but proper tnat the names of the subscribers to the purse be again printed as a roll of honor: Hulman A Co f50..l.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.
Ctlca Observer: Within the past few years there has been a wonderful growth of manufacuring in many sections of the South, and as this continues It maybe that sou hern men will become more and more firmly opposed to any revision of the tariff on tree trade lines.
DUrolt Tribune: In certain sta'es of this union Fr^d Douglass would be refused admission to a first-class passenger coach while the brute Sullivan would be given a palace car and cheered and banqueted by men who pretend to be good and respectable citizens.
Wisconsin State Journal: The conference owes Its origin to Mr. Blaine and It was eminently titting that he should be called upon to bid the delegates welcome and be chosen to preside over their deliberations.
Cincinnati Times Star: Since 1&61 the United States has bought $2,COO,000,000 worth of South American products and sold those slates manutures amounting to only $600,000,000, The balance Is on the South American side to the tune of $1,400,000.000. We want to get that balance on our side of the ledger.
Detroit Tribune: It begins to look as though the North would have to lree the Southern negro again. From commercial slavery to political bondage Is not what was meant by the results of the late war. Put a pin there, you Southern bulldozer.
Pittsburg Commercial: The worklngmen of Chicago subscribed *300.000 to secure the world's fir yesterday. The dlfl-rence in the prospects of Chicago and New York with regard to the world's fair seems to be this: All of Chicago are willing to subscribe for the fair, while no class of New York are willing to put up for it.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Ex-Senator Rlddleberger Is stumping Virginia for the Democrats. Rlddleberger's politics varies with his conditions of bibuloslty. When sober he Is a Republican when "half sees over" be Is a Mugwump when "fuller'n a goose" he Is a Democrat, and when "drunker'n a bited owl" he Is a Bourbon.
Philadelphia Press: The serious condition of the Hon. Samuel J. Randall will excite a regret limited by no lines of politics or geography. Mr. Randall is an American first of all, then a Peiinsylvanlan, then a Democrat. All his countrymen claim the right to sympathize with him in bis sufferings.
Pnlladelphla Inquirer: Connecticut has merely given emphasis to tha tact that popular sentiment In this section of the country, at least, is In favor of dealing with the liquor question through restrictive license laws. The drift Is almost wholly that way, and experience, such as we are getting in Pennsylvania, will lead to the Improvement and strengthening or such laws until they will be accepted as answerlngevery practical purpose.
Washington Press: There was no act of Mr. Cleveland's administration more commendable than Its adoption of Mr. Blaine's plan for a conference of American nations and no statesman ever received a more pronounced Indorsement than was given him when, by an almost uuanlmousvoleofa congress, Democratic as to the house and Republican as to the senate, the law under which this body convenes was enacted. "All things comes to him who waits." Mr. Blaine waited through years of calumnious mlsrepiesentation, but his vindication came when his traducers adopted his plan. We believe tills International congress, or conference, will open the way for great and lasting good to all America, and that the name "f James U. Blaine will be Indlssolubly linked with a new departure that will be hereafter recognized as the dawn of a brighter era than any this continent lias ever seen.

ACROSS THE ANDES IN PALACE CARS.
The year 1892 will probably b« signalled in South America by a moat interesting event in civil engineering and in international overland commerce, says a Montevideon correspondent of the New York Tribune. This will be nothing less than the completion and opening of the Transandean railroad, forming another railroad line from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the first across the continent of South America. It is nineteen years since this work was begun, and it is now confidently expected that it will be finished by the beginning of 1892. The road is. to run from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso, a distance of 871 miles. There are now 640 miles of it finished at the Buenoe Ayres end and 82 at the Valparaiso end. Of the remaining 149 miles about onethird is practically complete, the rails being laid. The passage of the Andes is accomplished at the Cumbre pass, which is 13,015 feet above sea level. The railroad, however, does not reach the summit of the pass, but pierces the mountains by means of a tunnel more than three, miles long, at an elevation of 10,450 feet above the sea. This makes it one of the highest, if not the highest, railroads in the world. There is nothing in Europe to compare with it. The St. Gothard railroad is 3,788 feet high, and that on the Rigi only attains an elevation of 5,753 feet. The grades are, of course, very steep. For a considerable distance the rise is more than 422 feet to the mile, or one foot in every twelve and a half. OQ this portion of the line a rackrail is employed similar to those on the Hartz and other mountain roads.
One unfortunate feature of the road, which will seriously impair its value, is the diversity of gauges adopted. The different sections of the road have been built by different companies1, and each company haB its own gauge. Thus there are G40 miles from Buenos Ayres to Mendoza of 5 feet 6 inches gauge. The eighty-two miles from Valparaiso to Santa Rosa are 4 feet 8}£ inches guage, and the remaining 149 miles from Mendoza to Santa Rosa are being laid in the narrow gauge of one metre. Thus, even when the road is finished, it will not be possible to run a train through from end to end. The seriousness of the defect is now appreciated, however, and it is probable that steps will be taken to make the gauge uniform.
The opening of the transandean railroad will do away with a great deal of the navigation around Cape Horn, which has been the only means of commerce between the east and west coasts of South America. It' will also, of course, prove of enormouB benefit in other ways to both Chili and the River Plate countries. Especially it will give the coal and copper and other products of the mines of Chili a splendid market in the Argentine republic and it will allow the produce of the fertile farms in the latter country to have better accesB to the poorly supplied markets on the Pacific coast. And the productiveness of the land in the valley of the River Plate seems to bave no limit. The soil greatly resembles that of the richest wheat districts of South Dakota, and in places that of the Nile delta. There are hundreds of miles of the richest black loam, fifteen or twenty feet deep. There are thousands of acres around Montevideo and BuenoB Ayres that have been under constant cultivation for 200 years in all that time no artificial fertilizer has been applied to the
Boil,
yet there is no perceptible
falling in its crop producing powers. There are nearly a thousand million acres of such land. The climate, too, is most favorable. There is scarcely a week in the year in which outdoor work can not be done on the farms. Blizzards are unknown, and even the bitter cold of the middle Atlantic states is not experienced here. In summer the heat is great, but does not Burp&ss that of New England. TJhe only defects of the climate are the irregularities of the rainfall. There are sometimes droughts and sometimes floods. But this evil is being steadily overcome by systems of irrigation and by wholesale tree planting on the open plains.
The Chilians have properly been nicknamed the "Yankees of South America." They do, indeed, exhibit the characteristic Yankee thrift and enterprise. But the Argentine republic has of late years also become much like the United States, especially the Western states. The enormous immigration, amounting to hundreds of thousands annually, gives the people the same cosmopolitan character. The vast plains, devoted to wheat growing and to cattle raising, remind one greatly of the prairies and plains of the United States. The opening of direct railroad commerce between the Ea9t and West coasts will effect a practical commercial and industrial union between the nations. Chili will be the New England of South America, the mining and manufacturing region, while the R'var Plate country will correspond to the Mississippi valley as the great agricultural country of tt^is continent.
STKAXUK STORY OF NICHOLAS GHllUtt.
He Turned Up us Another Man Hmlj \TH« to Lie liuritMl For Him. CHICAGO, October 14 —The Btrange story of Nicholas Gehring, who turned up alive but insane, just in time to prevent the burial of the body of an unknown man in a grave which would be marked with hie name, is growing more interesting each day. A petition has been filed in the probate court by Mathias Schmitz asking that a conservator be appointed for the unfortunate Gehrig BDd, as soon as this is done, steps will be taken to briDg ex-Constable Crawford to justice for his part in the conspiracy which drove Gehrig insane and deprived him of his hard-earned savings. It appears now that the contents of the trunk, purchased by Crawford for 8S, were valued at much more than the $3,000 known of by Mr. Schmitz. There are witnesses who will swear that Gehrig bad between 19,000 and $10,000 in bonds and few of these can be traced. It appears that Crawford, during Gehrig's absence on a fishing trip, seized and sold Gehrig's effects for rent due to the amount of 54, the proceedings being had as acrainst "Richard Martin." At the sale Crawford bought the brunk and its valuable contents for the paltry sum of $8. It will be shown that Crawford sold at least $600 worth of the bonds thus secured, and the collection of the interest on some of them led to the discovery of the proceedings. Schmitz says he is sure that the papers on which Gehrig's property waseeized were never served on him else be would have paid the trifle. The body of the unknown man, which was to have been buried as that of Gehrig, is still in the ice box at the Chicago medical college, and is wonderfully like Gehrig. His brother, Caspar, positively identified it by means of a scar on one leg and a rupture.

WIXAN IS ACCUSED.
Be Is Said to Ban Violated an Agreement Regarding the Big Dinner. BUFFALO, October 14.—When the delegates to the International American congress awoke this morning the heavy clouds and dampness of yesterday bad been dissipated by the rays of the sun, which was shining with great brilliancy and making rainbows upon the mist which rose in clouds from Niagara falls.
During the early breakfast at the hotel the members of the party engaged in some goeeip concerning the proceedings at the Clifton house dinner last night, and the South Amerioans appeared to feel satisfied that their representatives had responded with dignity and had acquitted themselves well. F. Curtis, the manager of the excursion, however, seemed to feel somewhat sore, and after an animated conversation with Mr. Wiman, who had given the dinner, he spoke as follows to a reporter: "Mr. Wiman is one of the members of the committee of business men in New York appointed to look after the reception and entertainment of the delegates in that city. He met us on our way from West Point, and told me that he intended to be at Niagara when we were there, and would like to entertain us at dinner. I said to him that my instructions from Mr. Blaine were to accept no hospitalities on Sunday. There was a great deal ofconfusicn in the party at the time, and I asked him to be good enough to put his invitation in writing, which he did. I received it at Boston. It aeked that we should dine with bim at the Clifton hotel on the Canadian side, at the end of our drive, instead of going to our own hotel for dinner. He said that t,he affair would be entirely informal. I then wrote back accepting tbe invitation, but telling bim that it was not certain that all of our delegates desired to attend. In Springfield I saw by the newspapers that he had invited some Canadian officials to meet us. I at once reminded him by telegraph of our agreement, and told him that the invitation had been accepted upon the understanding that tbe affair was to be entirely informal, and that no speeches were to be delivered. I told him yesterday that it bad been suggested that Dr. N should recite a Spanish poem descriptive of Niagara falls, and that this would be en tirely appropriate and proper, to which he assented. I did not attend the dinner myself. I was, however, much sur prised when I learned what had taken place, and this morning, when I met Mr. Wiman at the station I told him I was very sorry to be compelled to telegraph Mr. Blaine that our agreement had been violated by him. 1 reminded him of bis promise that no speeches would be made, whereupon he replied: 'There were no speecbep, only a little talk.' have informed Mr. Blaine of the circum stances, and also that 1 understand that before Mr. Wiman left New York he placed in the offices of the newspapers copies of the speech he intended to deliver."
The party left Niagara Falls about 8:30 o'clock and at 9:15 tbe train drew up at Buffalo. The excursionists were immediately driven to the city hall, where they were received by the mayor and other notables, and then proceeded on a round of sight-seeing.
.. SUPRB3IE COURT.'
Abstracts of Opinions Rendered Saturday, October 12. 1889.
PROMISSORY NOTE—FRAUD—GOOD FAITH nOLDKR— BURDKN' OF PROOF.
13,922. Jacob M. B. Giberson vs. Thomas Jolley. St. Joseph C. C. Aflirmed. Elliott, C. J. Where a promissory note is obtained by fraud there can be no recovery thereon unless the plaintiff shows that be Is in possession ot It as a bona tide holder 1. e., the burden Is upon him to show that he purchased it for value, belore it was due, and without notice ol the fraud by which It was obtained.
OBSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY—ltAILR(»I COMPANY LIABLE TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.
14.P82. State of Indiana vs. B., O. &C. railroad company. DeKalb C. C. Reversed. Berkshire, J. (1) A railroad company may be prosecuted criminally under the statue (section 1897 and 1964, R. S., 1881,) the same as a natural person, for obstructing a public highway. (2) All that Is necessary to a good indictment for obstructing a highway, Is to allege such facts as meet the requirement of the statue. Under the statue it is not necessary to the commission of thn offense that the acts were done with a criminal Intent, and such Intent need not be charged In tbe indictment. Nor Is It necessary to allege the condition ot the highway before its obstruction.
ATTACHMENT BOND—COMMON LAW.
13,82'J. James A. Cunningham vs. Abraham Jacobs. MarlonS. C. Aflirmed. Coffey, J. This action was Instituted In this state against the appellant upon an attachment bond executed In a fult. pending In the state of Illinois. The contention of the appellant Is, th,.t as an attachment oceeding was unknown it* the common law, the complaint Is bail because It falls to set out the statute ot Illlnos, if any. authorizing such a proceeding. Held: (1) In theaDseuceof any showing to the contrary, the pr-sum- tlon Is that the court Issuing the writ ot attachment a common law court, with the powers and jurisdiction belonging to such a tribunal. (2) But the common law courts have Jurisdiction to hear and determine action I'-r the recovery of debts and It affirmatively appears from the complaint that ttie action in which the writ Issued was an action of that kind and that the appellee appeared to the action in the stale ot Illinois. The court had the power to decide, rightly or wrongly, such questions as arose in the progress of the case, audit must be presumed that It did not exceed Its jurisdiction Is issuing the writ. (8) It cannot be presumed that the bond was executed under any statute but If a party executes a bond without being required or authorized to do so by a statute, he cannot defend against It on that ground, and it Is good as a common law bond. As a common law bond the action thereon Is governed by the rules applicable to actions on ordinary contracts
