The weekly review o£ trade and industry by Dun & Co. is nearly satisfactory in every reepsct. It is in line with the general prosperity of the country. There is one point made in the review worthy of second thought.—the benefit that can accrue by the investment of foreign capital in American industries. There seems to be no doubt that five or six millions of dollars of English money is to be sent here to buy some of tho Minneapolis flour mills. This money will bs paid to men who live here, and whose interests are in this country. Most likely it will be immediately reinvested, and the net result is that we will hnve all the former industries, with capitalistic encouragement for much that is new.

The esteemed contemporary, the Gaezett, says that "all aspiring Democrats must understand that their ambitions must be deferred until Mr. Cleveland has served his two terms. The man who taught the Democratic party its du'.y," continues our contemporary, "giving to it and to the country a great and abiding issue, is the only proper leader for the party until that issue is settled, etc., etc. TnK EXPRESS has no province to question the right of Mr. Cleveland to teach the Democratic party "its duty" because THK EXPRESS is not of that party, but on general principles isn't it crowding things a little when you speak of one man teaching any body of the people their duty? Kacently our contemporary referred to this flabby exsheriff and hangman from Buffalo as one who taught all the people of this great country their duty. We take it that there has been no man in public nll'airs in the history of this country who better understood our idea of government than Abraham Lincoln and he enid this was a government of the people, for the people and by the people. No (Jrover Cleveland, sheriff and hangman, was then thought to be in demand as one to teach the people their duty.

Our other and.much fresher contemporary, the Xewe, whose suppressed views on public questions we have vainly endeavored to obtaiD, in a pettish way replies to a request for its position on the tarilT and soys:

Tlie trouble wltli THK EXIM'.KSS is just tills, that In taking one side or the other of a question It Is not governed by the principles at stake, but simply by the t.'azette's position on that subject. II the (iazette favors TIIK EXPUKSS opposes and vice versa.

The trouble with all lledgelings in the newspaper world is conceit and a proneness to impute bad motives to all with whom they do not agree. This uncharitableness wears away with experience and time, as does all that is amateurish. To be sure it is always the case that the ass who is imputing motives to others is most open to remark and critcism. lie is like Charles lisade's worst kind of an ass, the one who doesn't know he is an ass. it might be said that the News, which has not in all its vaunted independence, given an inkliDg of its position on the taritl' question, declared by it two days ago to be of great interest to the people, is pursuing a cowardly policy because of a division of opiniou among its owners, but that would be stooping to its own plane of spiteful and "last word" discussion. However, where does our independent contemptory, which deplores the trammels of its contemporaries, stand on this question? After some days of inquiry we learned that it was in favor of the saloon license. We have hopes as to the taritl".

THE COMING MAN IN FRANCE.

Who caused the fall of General Boulanger? Monsieur Constans.

Who, with great Bkill, led the last political campaign? Monsieur Constans.

Who will be the next French prime minister? Monsieur Constans.

Consequently, says the Baroness Althea Salvador, Monsieur Constans is the celebrity of to day, and I should like to introduce him to readers of the New York World.

Above medium height, broad-shoul-dered, head poised in a manner denoting great energy, head and beard very gray, and bright blue eyes, M. Constans bears well the weight of his 50 years.

A hard worker all his life, .he has never had time to cultivate the manness of a man of the world, and, although always at home on the platform, he does not show to advantage in a drawingroom. Although in no sense an orator, M. Constans speaks with ease, as he possesses the faculty always belonging to the Gascons.

Concerning M. Constans' ancestors, concerning his family, we are in ignorance, but he began life as a lawyer. Failing in the legal world he went to Spain, and, after trying all kind of business, he one day appeared'in Toulouse, his native city, the possessor of a few thousand francs. The great ambition of M. Constans has been not to play an important political role, but to aoiass immense wealth. For this he hesitates at nothing, because, as say his enemies, in his composition there is lacking the little balance that weighs right and wrong. In spite of his adversaries'accusations M. Constans found money-making in Toulouse very difficult, and was obliged to accept a position as school teacher. From school teacher his energy soon promoted him to be professor of law in the university of Toulouse, and there we find him in the year 1S7G.3

Although M. Constans knew nothing and cated less about politics, he had an idea that he ought to be a Progressist, a champion of advanced liberal theories. These theories, in his characteristic style, he explained to the students and succeeded in winning their sympathy. So popular became his lectures that President McMahon's ministers advised him to resign his chair and return to his business in Spain. M. Constans seizsd the occasion and made his revocation a cause of future success. So well did he pose as the victim of a prejudiced ministry that at the following election he was made deputy from Toulouse. His profession of faith sounds well: "After eighty years of oscillation France has established her destiny—she has founded a republic, the only-gov­

ernment

lieve

worthy of democracy. But it

is not sufficient that the republic liveit must be organized. It would be only a name did it follow the defects of the monarchy. It must be a reality. We must understand that the principle of government is justice if we wish to have the republic—a government for allunite all minds, and if we wish that France count fewer ringleaders and more citizens."

In the chamber of deputies M. Constans continued to expound his beautiful theories, and soon his success in Paris excelled even that he had in Toulouse. In the meantime he chose a wealthy wife and found himself rapidly becoming a personage.

When M. Lepere, in IST'J. became secretary of the interior he selected for under secretary none other than M. Constans, and when M. Lepere died President Grevy replaced him by M. Constans. At this time took place the expulsion of the Jesuits and other religioussocieties. M. Cjnstans, although he did not be­

in religious persecutions

Baid:

"If

you persist in makincr the decreos I shall execute them with sound of drums and trumpets."

Had M. Constans possessed a knowledge of right and wrong he would have resigned his position rather than act contrary to the voice of conscience, but he executed the decrees with brutality. However, conscience or no conscience, since that day M. Constans has played an active roll in the political world.

In 1SSG M. de Freycinet. then prime minister, offered him the post of French ambassador in China, then an important mission

becauEeof

the Tonquin compli­

cations. From Pekin M. Constans went to Saigon as governor-general

of

the

French possessions in Indo China. His presence contributed largely to the establishment of order in Annam and Tonquin. In Cambodge he became very friendly with the kiDg, who gave him valuable presents, and the fact that he accepted theEe presents has been another argument used against him by his enemies.

At the fall of the Flcquet ministry last spring Preeident Carnot asked M. Ttrartl to form an "exposition" cabinet, and M. Tirard immediately chose for minister of the interior M. Constans. It so happened that the "exposition" cabinet became the "campaign" cabinet, and on M. Constans developed the arduous task of trying to assure elections favorable for the republic.

His great anxiety naturally was to rid France of General Boulanger, then at the zenith of his popularity. How to accomplish this M. Constans, with a brain fertile in expedients, found the means. A friend of the general called upon M. Constans one morning, and. in course of conversation, said: "What is new?" '•New! To-morrow 1 shall arrest Boulanger, Kochefort and Dillon."

Then, as if recollecting himself, M. Constans added: "I have told you this in a thoughtless man»er. Promise me not .to mention it to any one." "1 promise, but is it really true?" "Yes, the plan will he carried into execution at daybreak. Not a word, however."

M. Coustane, knowing that the friend would immediately go to General Boulanger, sent a detective to watch all his movements, and General B-julanger, warned of his approaching fate, nardly waited for the day to end before he placed a safe distance between himself aud the minister of the interior. As M. Constans had no intention of arresting the brave general at that time, certainly he must have laughed at his ignominious flight.

A short time before election day M. Constans one more had recourse to an expedient. He called each one of th« eighty-nine prefects,

Bnd

with each one

made this bargain: "You have so many deputies in your department. Of how many Uapublicans can you assure the election?" "Of many, monsieur le ministrc!" "Neither more nor less?" "No, monsieur le ministre." "You are sure?" "I am sure." "If one fall, monsieur le prefect, you and I must separate, but if you cause one more to be elected, my dear prefect^

you may aek me what you will and I shall refuse you nothing." Certainly M. Constans understands human fiature, and as minister of the interior during the last election be was very useful. His friends Bre usiDg their influence with President Carnot to made him premier. They

urge

as qualification his independence he is neither entangled with the Opportunists nor with the Radicals, and is ready for appropriate alliances.

This is true, but if the "little balance that weighs right and wrong" be lacking, would not that be a serious hindrance to M. Constan's appointment as premier of the French republic?

BATHING IN CHAMPAGNE.

The Wild Wastefulness of Rich fcallforniaiis.

A little group of men in the Hoffman house bar-room were discussing the threatened advance in the price of champagne when one of them, an ex-San Franciscan, who spent a good many years on the Pacific coast, said, in the hearing of a New York Sun reporter: "When Senator Sharon's daughter Flora was married ito Sir Thomas Heskette, ten years ago, the scenes in their country house at Melmont, where the wedding took 'place, would have made the eyes of those people who think an increase of 50 cents a bottle will affect th§ sale of champagne pop out of their heads. To say that champagne flowed like water would be as weak as it would be conventional. There was a tidal wave of it. Some of the young men had dozens of bottles carried into an empty room, and there they played ninepins with them until the floor was so covered with broken glass and sloppy with champagne that they couldn't stay there any longer. "And there was Billy Boyd, who made nobody has ever found out how much in his fraudulent Chinese certificate business. Some of his doings surprised even the champagne-blase circles of the Pacific coast. For several months during his giddy career, when he had more money than he could use in any other way, he tried a daily champagne bath. It wasn't Bn economical sponge bath from a quart of liquid in a wash bowl, either. His valet tilled a bathtub half full of the sparkling stuff, and the festive Billy, who thought nothing was too good for him, jumped in and kicked about in it as if it had been so much Croton."

The Alleged Axtell Riot.

AxTELr,, Kas, November 1.—The reports sent out from here concerning an alleged riot between the Methodists and Catholics were false. The facts which were so greatly exaggerated were: The Presbyterian minister here gave a'lecture on "Priestcraft exposed." A number of the Catholics present became indignant at the charges made in the discourse and there was a short but exciting conflict of words between the minister and the Catholics. There was no riot and disturbance of the peace. The mayor received exaggerated reports of trouble and was misinformed of the facts.

The Destitution in Norlli Dakota. BISMARCK, N. D., November 1.—The

reports of destitution in North Dakota are greatly exaggerated, and while there are some isolated communities in need of assistance, the statement that "over a hundred thousand people are in want" does the state an injustice. There is some suffering in .Rodney and Kelso counties, but aside from these localities it is diflicult-to locate any one in actual want.

A Heavy Verdict.

One of the largest verdicts in a damage suit ever given in this county was given against the Citizens' street railway company in Judge Howe's room this morning. The plaintiff was Joseph Willoeby, a ten-year-old boy. He was thrown from a Btreet car by the conductor, and falling on the track, received injuries that crippled him for life. He sued for §10,000 and the jury gave him $G,500 damages. This was a compromise verdict after twelve hours' deliberation, five of the jurymen holding out for the full amount asked for several hours—[Indianapolis News.

Klectricity ill the Heart.

Dr. Augustus Waller, of Philadelphia, has recently made a number of experiments showing that it is possible to detect by existing electrical instruments the electric currents generated at each beat of the heart. Two people, holding each other by the hand, aud connected with a capillary electrometer, give evidence of electric shocks through each other. The hands of a single subject, dipped into two basins of water in connection with the electrometer, give a deflection of the instrument at every beat of the pulse.

food Adulteration in Austria.

Austria is a country where one's food needs to be tested in order to avoid adulteration. At the laboratory in Vienna, where food is analyzed for nothing, a loaf of bread was found to consist largely of the pulverized bark of trees, sawdust and chaff ground pepper was found to be mixed with wood ashes cinnamon was colored with ochre, and a socalled "nutritious coffee," consisted entirely of roast acorns and chicory.

When the train slowed up at Reelsville she made a rush for the door and jumped from the train, rolling down a steep embankment. She dragged herself up the hill and sat down on the track. It was thought Bhe was badly hurt, and the conductor started to back the train And pick her up, when she started to run, exclaiming: "You'll not get me on one of them things again."—[Brazil Times.

But it is quite probable that a traffic agreement stronger than the one now in ex istence between the Alton and the Kansas Pacific branch of the Union Pacific may be made in the near future. Such an arrangement, however, will have nothing in common with the VanderbiltUnion Pacific combination nor any other combination now in proc?ss of formation.

STRAY INFORMATION.

Some time ago a man was capiased for a grocery bill and in connection with the proceedings was an amusing incident which has but recently been divulged. When the defendant was brought into court he did not produce sufficient property to satisfy the account. Proceedings were then instituted to imprison him in the county jail on the charge of concealing property with intent to defraud. These things occurred in the night. He was sent to jail in custody of Special Con stable Tyler, accompanied by the plaintiffs. On the way to the jail the oonsta ble lost the commitment, but did not discover the fact until they had entered the jail. The prisoner could not bs held without the commitment, and it was necessary to keep the knowledge of the loss from him. The constable whispered a few words in the jailer's ear and excused himself to return to the justice's office. The plaintiffs did not know why he had returned and the prisoner did not care. Constable Tyler was gone an unusually long time, and the plaintiffs grew anxious accordingly. They asked to get .out, and said that Tyler was playing a trick. But the jailer did not know which of the thiee men, the two plaintiffs and the prisoner, was the prisoner, and neither of them had papers to show his right to be liberated. Finally the plaintiffs persuaded the jailer to accompany them to the justice's court while the assistant jailer was left in charge of the other prisoner. Before they reached the justice's office Jailer Delane found the lost commitment in the street and the plaintiffs were free.

Mr. George F. Ackert, Bradstreet'rf representative in this city, said yesterday that the business status of the present ye«r was unusually good, and that comparisons with preceding years are most favorable. Although he has charge of this city and county only, yet he makes frequent trips to Sullivan, Clay, Parke and Vermillion counties for the office at Indianapolis, and finds thrifty business in those four counties too. He referred to some wholesale business houses that are transacting from 10 to 20 per cent, more business than during last year. "It may be that they have extended their territory," he said, "and have additional agents on the road. I do not know as to that, but I do know that the additional volume of business is being done. 1 have talked with one wholesale firm that has done one fifth more business this year than last."
