Tho city council ha3 responded to the demand of the creat majority of saloonkeepers who are opposed to the ^-50 license and likewiaato the rich KtitnbiiDg saloons. The latter would consent to the license, but the etnuller dealers believe that the Main street palaces with their jumbling annexej take from them their patronage. Consequently the small ealoonkeeper is willing to close at ]1 o'clock Saturday night and on Sunday, whereby he may secure some of the patronage of his customara who no*' go to these places and at the same time '"slaveoff" the-?2.j'J liusnss.

Our contemporary, the News, is exer cised about editorial space in its contemporary, Thk Exi'KKis. The^ews is well aware that space and opinion are two different things. Perhaps our contemporary is prolix, yet it fails to have, at least to giv9 expression to, any opinion on the tariff question. And, too, it is several months old. Perhaps there may be a "lash" over it. Who knows? It claimed to be the warkingman's champion, but when it fails to say a word about the tariff we suspect that it is the champion of nothing but its own immature ideas as to the ethics of journalism because there is no question of such vital interest to the workingman as the tariff.

in Virginia it was the solid south, counting out and bulldozing tactics that carried the day. other words the bourbons thought they were about to lose the state and they resorted to Mississippi tactics to save it. The appearance of northern Republican speakers in the state wa3 the red llag. Vet the Mills ami Carlisle people feel that they are missionaries of divine inspiration when they come into northern states to join in the political campaigcs. Virginia is a state which has felt the benetits of a protectiue tariff and in the vote for president and congressmen on a tariff issue gave but 1,'iOO plurality for a Democratic candidate for president and 'JO,000 majority in the whole vote for protective tariff congressmen. In the election yesterday it was an appeal to the state pride, the state sovereignty idea and the presence of outsiders drove tho bourbons to their lines.

Our contemporary, the News, when it first appeared announced that it was to be a champion of the home workingmen. A week or so later it repeated this declaration and the same day began the use of "plate matter" made by workingmen in a distant city. Also tho same day it made boastful declarations as to its purpose to reduce all its contemporaries to the starvation point. From that time on it has almost daily "nagged" at its contemporaries, 'imputing to them all manner of base motives in journalism. Suddenly it informed THKEXIM:KSS that it could have no further controversy with it. All this was amusing, of course, and just to test the consistency of the new daily a little further Tin: KXI'RKSS "argued the point" in a way calculated to elicit a "last word," and it is forthcoming. Ilow many more last words are we to have from our contemporary, which received more encouragement from us than from all others in Terre Haute?

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

K-|UO-nom-ics

To the Edit/ir of the Ex]r SIR: The Gazette man has kindly and with great clearness pointed out to C. the difference between forty-live cents and forty-five per cent., and has also supplied him with the additional Information that "ad valorem means according to value," for all of which many thanks. But It would be interesting to know on what day, within the last month, he mastered that piece lof "end ol the dictionary Latin." And C. makes this inquiry because, ajfew weeks ago, In one ot his able tarlll talks, he Informed the readers of the Gazette that there is a white lead trust, and that this wicked conspiracy against people who need paint

Is intrenched behind an infamous ad valorem duty of forty per cent. But as there Is no ad va'orem duty on whitel ead, and as we cannot suspect him of Intentional lying It must be that the Gazette man mastered the meaning of "ad valorem" only within the last few days, aid was anxiom to bestow Ills newly acquired knowledge upon the lirst person that came along. There is said to be a dltrerence between ad valorem and specliic duties, and what It Is our learned friend ought to try to hnd out. Honeet protectionists generally tavor the former.

Then there is a «iuje forbad feeling between nlm and Senator Voorhees which, It Is to be hoped, will not end In a quarrel. At Scottsburg the great senator told his hearers that the tariff on farm Implements Is from 75 to 100 per cent., and as the senator helped to make the law he ought to know. But the Gazette man contradicts him llatly and pretends to prove from the law Itself that the said duty is only 45 per cent. The senator Includes wagons In his statement upon which the law really does seem to fix a duty of 35 per cent. Now which of these great and good men is right, or did they both He'.' The last paragraph of the metals schedule In the law ot lSKi. as construed by the learned man who knows so much about per cents, and the meaning of ad valorem, would protest l-Mison's inventions and .many of the more than 2U,COO other Inventions patented last year, as well as It would protect twine binders, a purpose It was no more Intended to eflect than it was intended to protect.'cheese made in the moon. Twine hinders are Insured against loreign competition by patent laws, and even tills fafeguard is of much more use In protecting them from infringements by our too enterprising and too-smart-to-be-honest fellow-citizens than In preventing the Importation of foreign made machines. The patient German digs the soli of his fatherland with an Implement that would make a half dozen American hoes, while much of the British farmer's grain is still beaten out with Halls. Kor their best I nplemeuts oar farmers would have no use except to sell as junk, and If the Johnny Bulls have

Imported a lew of our wire binders, that machine has been obsolete in tills country for ten years. And thev. together with much more out-of-date farm machinery, have been unloaded on Europe, India and Australia on the cheap counter plan: a fact which accounts for much of the complaint about the low prices iit which our machines are sometimes sold abroad.

This (iazette man also tells Ills readers that "betrayed his fellow workmen of the west lor forty pieces of sliver.'" The usual consideration in such commercial transactions is only thirty pieces, and feels Mattered to know that he brought ten pieces more than the price of an apostle. But there Is reason to believe that this editor really knows something about this matter. So much of his life has been passed among traitors, who richly deserved to be gibbeted higher than the Elfel tower nearly thirty years ago, that he ought to know a traitor when he sees one. and If C. had not been one of the I.incoln-dog-co lar hirelings the charge might need investigation. Traitors with arms In their hands, sneaking copperheads and skulking Sons of Liberty, were the friends of this gentleman's early youth, and are now the venerated objects of his more mature regards, and we have reason to believe that what he don't know about traitors is past finding out. I.ast tall, when Mr. .Tarrett was sent here to talk to workingmen. the Gazette editor's knowledge on tills point served him well. So well, Indeed, that probably bv means ot grips, signs and passwords, or some other of the secret means or communication that used to be common among traitors, he was enabled to spot the Welsh-American at once, and to announce the eloquent Iron worker's name as "John Judas Jarrett." Some workingmen thought Jarrett was a protectionist because In ills own tree trade country the most he could get for making a ton of Iron was §1.50. while here he got $5 50 for the same work, but such considerations weigh nothing with a man who knows so much about traitors. The (iazette man seems also to have intuitive knowledge on other points which must be helpful to him In many ways, only a week or two ago after consulting Ills inner consciousness, he was enabled to decide, with great confidence, that our new collector, 15 r. Throop, is "a sniveling hypocrite," and In thai article lie gave other proofs that in the position he so worthily fills, that of public deramer for Vlg( countv, he Is the rifiht man in the right place.

But "the Gazette man has made Inquiries regarding C.'s Indent!ty. with the result that he succeeded In convicting C. of a worse crime than treason. On diligent inquiry he ascertained the Infamous fact that the man who dared to ridicule, in the columns of THK EXPRKSS. a free trade doctor of "line Intellect and great intelligence," was a man who had actually worked at the car works at $1.25 per day Tills was Indeed atrocious, because under such circumstances It was clearly C's duty ta strike, for did not the Brazil miners strike upon the advice of some very eminent statesmen, though they could mnke much more than Sl.'Jo per day? It was not only Ills duty to strike, but to transform himself Into a bull beggar, to write against the crime of daring to ba rich, to speak vociferously against monopoly, to threaten death to the man who should dare to take his job. to beg his mite out of a §20 contribution to starving workmen from a senator. To have done all tills and voted for free trade might have made a martyr and hero of him. But C. Is not hunting notoriety and is not in the habit of obtruding Ids private griefs, if he his any, upon the p*blic. He would not know the editor of the Gazette If he should meet him, and this may remind the editor that Satan once said toa smaller sized angel than himself. "Know you not me? not to know me argues yourself unknown." Hut C. will try to find consolation in the reflection that some times "Ignorance is bliss." and that obscurity is better than such notoriety as confers no honor upon the subject of it.

The Gazette sent a competent reporter to write up the salient points of the I.ee meeting, but. as It seemed to C. the young man failed to note the most Interesting things that happened there, and it was t"s kindly effort to supply his unaccountable ommisslons that raised all tills disturbance. One point will bear recurring to again. Mr. Lee Informed his hearers that Dutch farmers could come here and by farming the tence corners and around the stumps and stones of our best farms, raise as much as is now produced in the fields themselves. And as the (iazette editor has always taken a deep interest In arglcultute. does he not think It his duty, In conjunction with Mr. I.ee. to try to capture a few car loads of Pennsylvania Dutch and ship them here. In no other way can the crops of Vigo be so easily and so Inexpensively doubled, and how it would help the dear, down-trodden, tariff ridden farmer. I'ntii this experiment Is made, and made successfully, C. refuses to abate one jot of his scorn for "itinerant Ignoramuses."'

In proffering information to C. with such a show of ostentatious Impudence, the Gazette assumed much or that "loftiness of asserted superiority," which is more than dangerous unless.the person who acts the difficult part can carty it out without a hitch, and this critic might, without any very violent stretch of modesty or memory, recall good reasons for doubting Ills ability to sustain the character. On the not very remote occasion ot President Wooley's death, he told what he did not know about Greek customs, and Greek athletics In a way which demonstrated that he was trying to make a pompous show of learning on a subject he absolutely knew no more about than his mule. But that Is enough for the present on a subject on which It would be too unkindly unkind to say any more. But once upon a time. In talking about Georte Sand, he made a mistake just as laughable, though tills and many more of Ills little blunders will be permitted to rest until the gentleman shall betray signs of an irreslstable desire to give C. some further information.

A word to the wise is sometimes sufficient, and when discretion will purchase Immunity from weUdeservedpnnlshment.lt is to be hoped that discretion will lie exercised. (_'.

IX THE COURTS-

The Dailey Damage Suit Verdict—Other Court Notes.

The verdict of the jury in the case of Dailey against the county was read in the circuit court Monday morning in the presence of several persons who had assembled to hear the verdict. The verdict was $150 for the plaintiff. When the verd-ct was read absolute silence prevailed for a few minutes. and thfin the spectators commenced laughing. The verdict seemed to be generally regarded as absurd, because the popular opinion was that if the finding should be for the plaintiff it must be based upon facts that would warrant more damages than 6150. There is talk of a new trial, or an appeal, and these points will be decided upon within a few'days. At one time the county commissioners offered Dailey 3500 to compromise the matter, but he refused. The plaintiff's attorneys expect to get another trial. The jury stood seven to five in favor of the county on the lirst ballot, and the highest damages favored by any juror was 5100.

John Bass, colored, who is awaiting trial for horse stealing, is pleading insanity for his defense. The trial is 6et for to day, and the issue will depend largely upon evidences of sanity.

No Ciouin Trial

CHICAGO, November 5.—"I will state," said Judge McCjnneli, at the opening of theCronin trial this morning "that there is a possibility of some question being raised as to the right of the court to take evidence on this legal holiday, because of the fact that this is a holiday provided for in the election laws. The supreme court might construe that law in such a way as to mean that it was public policy that there should be no business done on election day, in order that everybody might do his duty as a citizen in the way of express ing his preference for the men who have been nominated for otlice. While the court is inclined to believe that there is no question but the defendants can waive their gbt, or if they do not object, that the evidence introduced would be legally corrected competent and stand, and that the record would be all right in point of law.' Yet, in view of the points and doubts that are suggested by the representatives of the state, and "the fact that we are taking no right away from the Defendants, but simply, perhap?, observing the policy of the stale as outlined by the legislature in passing this latter enactment, I am inclined to think it is best that we do not hold court. Therefore, we adjourn until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning."

THK NEW MOBTON MONUMENT.-,

The UuveillDg or a Bust at Indianapolis Yesterday.

The following is from the Indianapolis News of last evening: The old soldiers of Indianapolis and many other citizens are to-day paying tribute to the late Oliver P. Morton, "That ever-living man of memory."

The occasion is the unveiling of the family monument over hjs grave in Crown Hill cemetery. Tt is twelve years ago to-day since the body of the great statesman was committed to the grave, over which the beautiful marble bust was reared this afternoon. Many, if not quite all of those who gathered in the cemetery this afternoon to assist in uncovering the face of the likeness of the departed, were there twelve years ago, mixed with the great throng that took the farewell look at the face of the original. It was the veterans of the war who buried the great man, and to them was entrusted the unveiling of the monument to-day.

The monument consists of a bust of the ex-governor set upon a pedestal. The idea of the monument originated with Mrs. Morton and her children, and several years ago the design was approved by the members of the family. The bust was made in Rome by Artist Symonds. The design was taken from the bronze statue of the ex-governor which stands in the circle. Tne bust is of Cirrara marble, and is -a litt'e over life size, be:ng r/oree feat high. It is draped after the manner of life, and has bean pronounced by Mrs. Morton and all the friends of the deceased who have seen i', a good likeness of the original. The pedestal upon which the bu3t will rest is of granite, and is six ft)et ten inches high. The pedestal has not yet baen completed, and for a Ume the bust will stand upan a temporary slab of granite five feet high. On one side of the permanent pedest-Bl will be a scroll, and on the other such lettering as the family may determine upon hereafter.

The bust was removed to the cemetery yesterday, and this morning was set upon the 'temporary pedestal. Then a broad flag was spread over the shoulders of the bust and laid in folds down over the improvised pedestal. TheHoral tributes provided by the family were brought out to tho grave later in the day and placed in position. Most conspicuous was the old arm chair the dead statesman used at home for years, dressed with ferns, and smilax, and roses. Upon the sea_t was worked with L'oses the dates, "1877—1889." A pillow made of rosss and carnations was placed at the head of the grave, and numerous bouquets of white roses and white chrysanthemums were dropped at the base of the pedestal.

The monument stands about one hundred feet southwest of the cemetery chapel, and alongside the plat of grouod in which sleep the dead of the rebellion. Just behind the bust rises the staff from which is kept floating the year round the stars and stripes in memory of the soldier dead buried there. The bust faces the southeast.

A large crowd attended the memorial services at the cemetery this afternoon. The old soldiers assembled at Chapman post hall at 1 o'clock, and went to ths cemetery by street car, while the relatives of the deceased and many friends of the family went out in carriages. The exercises were interesting and appropriate. There was a song by a quartette, and then praver Dy the Rev. Henry Day. Chief Justice'Byron K. Elliott, who had been chosen to preside over the gathering, made a few fitting remarks, and then Governor Hovey spoke brietly of the public services of the great war governor.

The principal memorial address was delivered by the Rev. D. R. Lucas, of the Central Christian Church, chaplain of Thomas post, G. A. R. A man, he said, was measured by the manner iu which he filled the place to which Providence had called him. Oliver P. Morton was a man strong in purpose, yet tender in thought, steadfast in resolution, yet cautious in preparation, skilled in strategy, free from artifice. "He was a man," continued Mr. Lucas, "ever seeking the counsel of friends, yet assuming the responsibility himself aggressive in action but courteous to an adversary trusting the providence of God yet believing in the power of human agencies. He had the undaunted persistence of Grant, the benevolent kindness of Lincoln, the organizing ability of Stanton, the will of Jackson, the self-reliance of Stevens, the envied style and diction of John Bright, and the argumentive eloquence of Webster."

The speaker wetat into an exhaustive review of the public services of Morton. He said the task '.aid upon the head of Morton was one that seldom fell to the lot of man. He literally wore himself out in the services of the country. The burdens of anxiety and care that came upon him were enough to themselves to make a stroDg man weak. He was essentially a man of affaire, and it might be said of him that "no man of his time left his impress upon legislation to so great an extent," and that "to no one'person, living or dead, is the credtt for the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution so largely due as to Senator Morton."

Continuing. Dr. Lucas said Morton, like all really other great men, was a man of heart. Those who knew him best tell us that all the cares of state, all the multitude of duties that devolved upon him, never so absorbed him that he could not hear the cry of the unfortunate. "Looking over the life of this great man, whose mortal body lies here in silence," said the speaker, "seeing the great work he did for his country and his kind, there comes to us the old cry, 'What is it all worth?' Does all that once constituted the man Morton lie here? Have all his noble powers and [faculties dissolved in ashes? Di his strong mind and subtle energies find exercise in a brighter, grander [sphere? When we asked these questions how joyful that voice from Judea. 'I am the resurrection and the life he that believcth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live again!'"

Referring to the marble bust the speaker said it brought back to us the feature and form of the grand man, but it was only marble after"all. Its voice was hushed and its eyes were without sight. No soul dwells within, but it was the best that man could do. It was a tribute to the dead by those who sorrowed. The marble would crumble and decay, but what he did, whose remains lie beneath the ground, will live as long as the love of liberty and equal rights abide in human hearts.

In conclusion the speaker said: "I can but say that this able lawyer, patriotic citizen, heroic war governor, champion of national unity, honored senator, soldiers' friend, devoted husband and loving father, was the leader in the greatest work of the age."

At the conclusion of the Rev. Mr.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1889,

Lucas' address, Chief JuBtica Elliott •removed the tiag that obscured the face of the bust with the following words:

Comrades: It needs no words of mine to inform you why we are gathered in this silent city of the dead, for your hearts and minds are full of the purpose of our assemblage. We are here to do honor to the memory of one in whose great heart the soldier, of all men, held the first and highest place. We are here to pay a grateful tribute to one whose splendid life and actions grandly adorn the pages of our history and whose memory can not perish while freemen live.

The exercises closed with the benediction by the R*v. Dr. Day.

THE STAUNTON OIL WH.li.

There is Strong Indication of the I'rcseuoe oi Gas.

About 10-o'clock yesterday morning the drills at the Staunton well struck Trenton rock and drilling was at once suspended until the oflicers of the company could be notitiid. President Wm.

Slaughter, in company with a large number of the stockholders, went to Staunton in the afternoon. It was decided to resume the drilling and at last accounts the drills had gone about nine feet into the reek. The lar.t diillings showed the presence of Trenton rock. The hole is perfectly dry and about one thoueand four hundred and sixty feet deep. Mr. Reynolds, of the Guarantee, ex imined the drillings last night and pronounces them the finest that he hes seen here. Tee fact that the rock has been struck at 200 feet less depth than in the Diall and PLD'iix wells is, in his opinion, a strong indication of the presence of gBS.

Tlie Incllucil 1'lnnc Acclilent.

CINCINNATI, November 5.—Cjroner RendiiTs has rendered his verdict upon the Mount Auburn inclined plane accident, in which six persons lost their lives. He says the immediate cause was the failure of the pilot, Charles Goble,- to properly work the throttle and thereby stop the car. He finds tbBt even if the piece of iron found in the steam chest interfered with the working of the throttle, still Goble could have prevented the accident by the proper use of the brake and reverse lever. i:te further finds that the draw cable and safety rop9 were not properly fastened to the car, and that the employes in charge of the machinery were guilty of criminal carelessness in not stopping the travel and examining tho machinery at 10 a. when the machinery refined to work properly.
