There is not one good reason left why the S250 license ordinance Bhould not be passed next Tuesday night.

Oar esteemed contemporary the Gazette hea added to its engagements a renewed contest with the cow. As usual the Gazette is a little late. Ihe time to oppose the strolling cow is in the spring- If THE EXPRESS may be permitted to do so it would suggest that this is a good time to fitfht the gravel pit job. A warm court room would be a most suitable scene for a iiveiy defense of the people's rights.

A most delightful change has come about in the reports from Washington, iieginning with the election of President Harrison we were compelled to read many reports aa t.o the probability of ex-Congressman Thomas being selected for the cabinet. Then it was an assistant secretary, later on a commissioner and then a chief of division, but none of them came to him. Now he has begun refusing places. The Washington correspondent says he declined th9 position of Cherokee commissioner, "making the second one which haa been tendered him and which he has declined." Do all the Washington follows think they c:in "stuff" the people year in aud year out with this sort of balderdash?

The supreme court yesterday decided two cases Involving the constitutionality of the law Increasing the saloon tax to §250, allu-mliiK the decision of the lower court In both cases, and sustaining the constitutionality or the law In every point. Both decisions were unanimous. Tills removes the i|iiestion of the validity of the law beyond the li, ld of controversy, and Insures a large addition t•! the revenues of many cities and towns. It also bottles up a good many Democratic statesmen of high and low decree wiio have been predicting that the law would not stand,—1 Indianapolis Journal.

Jt botties up a few Democratic schemers over thin way. They hoped for an adverse decision on the law. and, although they knew it was constitutional, and was a good law, prayed for something to intervene to prevent what they had corns to consider to be the inevitable.

The delegates to the jugres3 of the thiee Americas will arrive in Indianapolis this morning and be shown the sights of our own statu capital. There is much to be seen in Indianapolis, including, of course, the egotism of the people, that protrudes itself on tho view of all visitors. However, the visitors from the other American countries had visited Soutii Hand, and they will not leave the state with only the Indianapolis impression of Indiana, la many respects Indianapolis reminds us of New ork. The latter city believes that all things should come to it, and forgets that it is no longer the big place of the United States, as it was many years ago. Indianapolis, aa a junction of my railways and as the capital oE the state, had come to believe that it was something more than a capital city and a railway*junction. In the course of time, when the state falls on i*, the most provincial of citie3 will realize that it ia not Indiana.

HONEST EXPRESSION OF CONVICTIONSWhy does Tun

KXPUHSS

keep nagging at tiie lia-

/eite about that gravel pit suit? Does It not understand the law's delay? Does it not know that tlie present council is very slow to act'' Does it not realize that Us contemporary Is carrying the free trade party of this neck o' the woods on Its shoulders which occupies most of Its time and attention Of course the suit will be brought. For the (ia/.ette Itself has said It. and was this paper ever known to recede from a position when once it was taken? Don't crow.! the mourners, don't try to hurry a team that Is stuck In mud. and, having gotten the best of an opponent, don't rub It In.

Terre Haute News.

THK Exritr.ss would not be cruel or oppressive. The News can bear witness to fact, because THE Exriu:s.s has patiently waited for a single utterance on the tanIV question, which wouid give an inkling as to tho position of its qsteemed c.mtemporary. There were many and positive announcements that our contemporary was to be free and fearless in its opinion?, aud THK EXI'KK.SS halfsuggested that there-would be a reckless degree of fearlessuess. But Tin. Exb'ur.ss was mistaken. Its contemporary says this:

A newspaper which makes it a point not to discuss the tarllT has to hustle to find subject matter for editorial. The dear people c'aim to be tired of this topic, but as It is dally rehearsed in every newspaper in the country the probability Is that they know what their readers want. Or else they understand what their party wants and they endeavor to make the supply equal the demand for political capital. The tarilT will undoubtedly be the leading Issue In the next campaign.

Now, we don't want to crowd the mourners. We tusrely want our contemporaries to iive up to their professions. What has become of the gravel pit suit? Where do you stand on the tariff?

THE S250 LICENSE LAW.

Everyone in Terre Haute is now well informed of the faot that at one time when it seemed liksiy and possible the ordinance imposing a license of 5250 a year ou retail liquor dealers would be adopted that the city attorney was on hand with an opinion that the law under which the ordinance would be adopted was unconstitutional. This excuse was

fatal, at lea3t BO it seems to be up to this time, to the ordinance. The supreme court has just rendered a decision in which all the weakness of the points made by the city attorney are freely exposed.

At the best they were but of a technical nature, chiefly that the new law in repealing or amending the existing laws did not set them forth in full terms. The unanimous opinion of the supreme court is that "it is now well settled that it is not necessary to set out the section to be amended, and that the constitutional requirement is fulfilled by setting out the section as amended. In tho case of Feibleman vs: the state ex rel. Brown, 08, lnd., 51G, it was held that the section of the constitution now under consideration required that an act amending a former statute should refer to the title of the act sought to be amended. It must be obvious to everyone, however, that this section of the constitution, as well as all other constitutional proviaione, is to be construed in the light of the evil Hought to be remedied or avoided."

That is it. It is the purpose, not the phraseology that ia to be observed. It is not intended, when making law, to give the city attorneys and councilmec an excule for avoiding their duty.

Such an appointment would be decidedly creditable to the administration, as selecting the man whose record In military, civil, and judicial life Is tirst-class. and whose titness lor that Important position Is undisputed. But IHs tolerably clear that ir Judge (iresham's appolntment.were possible it would have been ade some time ago.

The story was tluln discredited by the World, which now makes anew sensation out of it. It Is understood to be the w-'rk of Mr. Julius Chambers, formerly of the Herald, but now ol the World, wno lias just returned from Europe. In eesence, It does little more than repeat tiie accounts or temporary melancholia or Repression of spirits, which have made "copy" for Democratic and mugwump newspapers for years.

HOW THE CONGRESS TRAVEL.

It is a strange eight, not only to railroad men but to the crowds of people who meet the special train of palace cars carrying the international American congress wherever it stop?, to see a Pennsylvania locomotive off its own rails. It was strange enough to see old "1,053, from the shops of Aitoona, ou railroads in New England, but the puffing giant looked like an unreal dream when running on lines of the Vaaderbilt system, such as

kthe

New York Central and

Lake Shore. The history of railroading in this country affords no parallel to this carrying of JB solid train, provided by one company, over so many railroads of the country.

The itinerary for the 5,000 miles which this tour of the Three Americas congress covers was all made out in advance a month at?o ia Philadelphia. It was a long and intricate piece of work. The general outline of the trip, with a list of the towns and cities it was wished to visit, was furnished by the state department. S. W. F. Draper, who has general oversight o£ all the excursion business of the Pennsylvania railroad, took this list and made out a schedule in detail. This all bad to be reduced, and then the superintendent of every railroad that was to be traversed by the train was written to and asked whether the train could run over his rails between specified points within certain hours. It is a curious fact, which shows how perfectly all the details of this schedule were figured out, that this pre-arranged schedule was accepted by every railroad without the suggestion of an amendment. There was only one exception. This was on one of the railroads of Connecticut, which asked for fifteen minutes more time to make a certain run, on account of a heavy grade near Willimantic. The especial train is so heavy that not only was this extra time needed, but a sscocd engine had to be used to overcome this grade.

Royalty never traveled more luxuriously in England or on the continent than'doca this international congress in its industrial tour ot the country. A description of the interior furnishings of the four sleeping cars, the combination library and baggage car, and the dining room car has already been published in Tho Press. Few persons can have any no'ion, however, of the amount of forethought and toil required to transport in ease and comfort such a train with its fifty or sixty pr.s3engers (the number varies from time to time) over the country. For example, there are all the time thirty persons employed constantly in connection with the train. Mr. Draper, the tourist agent in charge of tho party, compiled the following list of these person Tourist agent In charge of all 1 Engineers, Pennsylvania and local Kiremen. Pennsylvania and local. B-iggagemasters, Pennsylvania and local Conductors, Pullman and local Porters Waiters Cooks

Electricians Barber Dlnlug car conductor 1 Advance commissary 1

Total 30

Morethau this, every one of these persons is busy constantly. Five are not included in tho above list of railroad ofii jers and employees. These are William E. Curtis, special agent of ttoe state department, who is perhaps the hardest worked of Bay of the party, and four other acrents of the state department— Capt. Boitrke, of the Third cavalry Lieut. Lamley, of the Third artillery Mr. E. W P. Smith, formerly consul at CarthBgene, Colombia and Mr. F. G. Pierra, of the Spanish-American union of New York. Eich of these gentlemen is assigned to take special charge of one of the four sleeping cars, and see that everybody in it is made happy and relieved of all care. Each Bees that all of the parly in his car is safely on board when the train start.? that his baggage is properly cared for that everyone secures anything needed to make him comfortable, and, in general, that everyone is relieved of cars or anxiety of any kind. To each of these gentlemen, as well as to Mr. Curtis and to Mr. Draper, to SBy nothing of tho subordinate railroad -employes or Mr. Ege, the handsome Pullman conductor specially selected .for the trip,

every

delegate, secretary and at

tacheis under hourly obligation. Take the one matter of baggage, which is so often one of annoyance, even under the most perfect, system, to the ordinary traveler. Here every piece is tagged with the («'.veer's name, the name of his car and the number of his section. When the train reaches a city where the party are to stop at a hotel, everything has been arranged in advance. There is no trouble whatever. The tourist simply leaves his valise in his section aud hie trunk in the baggage-car. When he reaches the hotel

he

finds all

his brg^age in his room. Wheu he goes bsck to the trnin he leaves his baggage in bis room, only to find that it has proceeded him to the train. As at almost every place where the train stops for the night there are a reception and banquet, for which evening dress is neceesary, the importance of this quick and accurate handling of baggage is easily seen.

All the meals served on the train are delightful little feasls. A specialjnenu. elaborately decor-)ted, is printed for each, ar.d the members of the party are preserving all these, as well as the menus of the banquets and luncheons given at different cities, as souvenirs. When all are pasted in scrap-books they will make beautiful collections. Mr. William W. Lord, jr., traveling passenger agent of the Pennsyirauia railroad, is always about a day in advance of the patty, acting as passenger agent. He sees that when the train reaches a certain point, the provisions aud delicacies necetsary to meet the promises of the bills of fare are ready to be placed in the larder of the dining-room car.

The Spanish-Americans are ail accustomed to drink wine with their meaK and he wine list is long and elaborate. The only imported wines upon it, however, are the champagnes. All the other wine?, red and white, are American. The South Americans express thems-lves as greatly pleased with the quality and Uavor.of" these American winee. The consumption of wine is not so great as might be expected from so large a party. It is used by nearly all. but in great moderation.

The tourists are relieved even of all care about their laundry. Each is provided with a linen bag, stowed away under the seat of his section and tagged With his name. Into this bag he puts all his soiled linen and underwear, and every three or four days the bag is sent on ahead to a city where a laundry has been notified by wire to be ready to do the work in twenty four hours." All tho cars are lighted by electricity and heat ed by steam. E?ery porter is expected to act ns a vallet, and though there are several private valets on board, the porters have a busy time of it when the tourists have to dress for dinner on the train.

Already the tourists have accumulated

a big stock of Bouvenoirs, most of which have been packed up and sent away. There are bowie-knives, Bilver matcheafee, fancy calendare, illuminated pamphlete, printed handkerchiefs, silk flags, penknives and photographs in the collection already. When the party reach the West theyrather expect to be presented with such souvenirs as plows, reapers and sides of bacon.

THE DRUMMER'S LATEST TRICK.

Don't Pick the Stray Thread* From Hlu Coat Unless You Want to be Iwuclied

A

The drummer always brings the latest trick, says the Lewiston Journal. Here it is:

Take a spool of white basting cotton, drop it into your inside coat pocket and, threading a needle with it, pass it up through the shoulder of your oo»t. Leave the end an inch or so long on the outside of your coat and take off the needle. Four men out of five will try to pick that whole thread off your shoulder, and will pull on the spool until it actually doss seem as though your clothes are nil bastings, and that they were unravelling not only your clothes, but yourself. "I was in to see Wilson Birrettiu 'Claudian' in Boston last week," said the traveling man. "It was in the most interesting and pathetic portion of the play. Everybody was rapt. I was sitting bolt upright, and didn't know or care to know a soul around me, when suddenly I felt someone tugging at that basting cotton that I myself had clean forgotton. I didn't say a word and did not move. Foot by foot it unrolled. Half glancing around, I saw a man—a total stranger—yanking at the thread. His face was scarlet. He had pulled out about ten yards and was now hauling in hand over hand. He didn't dare to stop because he had decorated my back and the whole aisle with basting cotton. He hardly dared to go ahead, for he didn't know what portion of my domestic interior economy he was trifling with. Rip! Rip! went the thread. Hand over hand heyankfid it in. The aisle was full of it. 'For Heaven's sake! will it never end?'said he above his breath. I sat perfectly still and ran the spool while he pulled. How I wanted to yell. I uever saw auything in my life half so funny. The whole section of the house got onto it. They didn't know whether to laugh at me or him, and some looked on amazed at the spectacle. At last the stranger behind me gave one frantic rip and yanked put about eleven yards on one bunch, and aB the cotton got twisted around his watch chain, over his eyeglasses, in his very hair and filled his lap, I turned around and producing the spool from my pocket eaid: 'I am verymuch obliged for your interest and very sorry that I misled you. Y'ou ree I have about one hundred and twenty-four yards lei', but I presume that you don't care for any more to night. I am lion estly sotry, but I can't help smiling.' "The man was a modest, sort of gentleman in appearance. His face was red as fire even to his ears. He looked at me and then at the spool. He changed color once or twice, and then as the crowd caught on a big laugh went up right in one of tho jiainful passages of 'Claudtan,' and the gentleman who had intended to pull that thread off joined in the laugh and said, 'I will equare that up on my wife when I get home but, my friend, I swear to heaven that I did think at one time that I was going to undress you where you sat.' "It catches every time, and my own wife has been fooled twice on it."

'•I know that it is fashionable for some people to belittle him, aDd especially our Democratic friends, but there is much may be said about Joe Foraker that '.s interesting. Some years ago you didu't know him he was unheard of and yet I think we can say to-day that no man in this country in four years in the oflijev of governor in the state of Ohio, or in any other position, ever achieved a national fame find reputation that J. B. Foraker has. [Applause.| Come with me to the great hotels of the cities of Chicago and New York, where thousands of people are coming and going every day. Stop at the door and inquire of them who is the governor i-f Kentucky, and he iu't, tell you who is governor of Missouri? I don't know. And so on through ail the states, and they will tell you they don't know, but ask t-hem who is governor of Ohio aud they will answer'Joe Foraker,' and if he is a Democrat he will say, 'Joe Foraker d—n him.' [Great applause.J

Trade and Labor Notes.

There is talk of a cheese trust. The strike of tailors at Chic igo is over. E\-Pre.-ident Wellington Burt, of the -alt trust, is In New York, to attend a meeting of those Interested In the trust. He stales positively that the trust will be reorganized.

The Manufacturers' Record says It is almost Impossible to exaggerate the number or amount of Investments now being made in the South by Northern capital In all kinds of business.

The announcement was made that the Southern Iron company, which was receutly organized with a capital stock of .3.000,000, completed negotiations for the purchase of the West Nashville furnaces. located four miles west ol the city.

Nothing makes home so bright, comfortable and healthful as a "Garland" Stove or Range.

JII/TED BY A PRINCE.

How tho Murat-Calclwell Match Wa* Broken Off. NEW YOKK, October 31.—The World's Paris cable says: The storm which has been brewing for several weeks past between Prince Murat and Mies Caldwell finally buret out on Friday last, when, at the meeting held at Miss Caldwell's hotel for the "contract," or final signature of the marriage settlements, the notary announced that the bride only allowed her husband an income of $10,000 a year, with reversion after her death to her sister. She declares that she had warned the prince all along that she intended to make this arrangement. He had, however, always treated her reference to the matter as" a joke, refusing to believe that she would venture to treat him in such a niggardly fashion. Wber. however, the prince hoard the notary read aloud the clause of the contract dealing with this matter, he arose from his chair, waikei to Miss Caldwel', and exclaimed: "Surely, this is a joke. You can not wish to treat your husband with such a public display of suspicion."

Mi?s Caldwell laughed and replied: "I have managed my fortune all along with success, and want to continue doing so."

The prince still refusing to believe that she was serious, Mies Caldwell rema: ked: "You have shown that you do not know how to manage money."

The prince thereupon became very angry, exclaiming: "Madame, I am not a beggar," and walked out of the room. The same evening the wife of the prince's only son, who has all ulong opposed the marriage, not relishing the idea of there being another Princess Murat besides herself, offered the prince an assured allowance of 810,000 if he would remain single. Since then the rupturo has become complete, and the abandonment of the match is officially announced.

Miss Caldwell has met the prince several times while out walking and driving since the quarrel on Friday hist, but on each occasion be has passed by without saying a single word or even raising his hat. Under the circumstances there is not the slightest chance of any reconciliation being affected or of the match ever taking place. Miss Caldwell is about to return to America, and cabins have been eng'-'g- for herself and party on board the Guscogne, which sails from Havre on the 9 of November.

USJyUSS MUNICIPAL SITUATION.

HusintMH of a City Government Transacted In Secret to Kftrape Creditors.

The city of Watertown, Wis., presents the unique example of city without a city government,

Bays

the St. Paul Pio­

neer Prest: Some years ago, in a tit of thoughtless generosity, the city voted a large amount of bonds as a bonus to an incoming railroad, an amount so large that it threatened to bankrupt the municipality if paid. To avoid paying the obligations the city officials, except those of a minor degree, resigned and left the corporation in an acephalous condition. Nov/ the officials are elected annually, meet in secret, vote the appropriation necessary to keep the municipal machine greased, trausact whatever business is necessary, han^l in their resignations, and once mors the street commissioner, or some one of about the same degree, is in charge. The railroad has tried in vain to find an officer on whom to serve a summons. Ddtectives have been in the city hoping to surprise the secret council meeting, but the interests of the people are so united as to prevent a coup of that sort. In faot, instances have been known when the meeting was being held in an upper room of a business block while the emissaries ot the railroad, armed with formidable legal documents, were wutchfully patrolling the sidewalk below. "A public offise is a public trust" seems to be directly apropos to the situation. Here are some railroad bonds that our Euglish cousins might invest in after buying up all the obligations of the late confederacy.

Iloyal Lepers.

There is, I think, no doubt that Henry IV., of England, and Rjbert Bruc6 were lepers. About Henry III. I am not sure. But I have tried to discover any authority for what I am quite sure I read some yearB ago—but where I cannot remember—that Adelicia of Louvaine, second wife of Henry I., became a leper, and that that was the real reason why, when a happy wife and mother, she left her Srcond husband, William de Albini, to whom she was tenderly attached, and eutered a convent. Miss Strickland makes no memoir of it, and considers her conduct quite unaccountable.— [Notes and Queries.
