The supreme court has again knocked out that legislature. May the state be delivered from another such infliction.

A correspondent asks: "Where are the Globe Democrat roosters'.'" Tliey are safely and com fortably housed. When It becomes customary to trot Maud S. and Axtell at country fairs thelilobe Democrat roosters may bo a«ked to celebrate un Important state elections. (ilobe-Democrat.

And the later returns indicate that the Democratic roosters haven't so much t( crow over as they thought they had.

It is reported from Washington that the Hon. George B. Lorintr, minister to Portugal, and ex-Senator Palmer, minis ter to Spain, are to resign, Mr. Loring not liking Portugal and Mrs. Palmer ex acting compliance with a promise made by her husband that, he would not re main in Madrid longer than sixteen months. The Massachusetts man pre fers eocif.1 life in Washington and the Michigan man's wife is to make him "walk Spanish."

When Mr. Throop was appointed collector of internal revenue for this district our esteemed contemporary the Gazette, indulged in a reckless slur on his character. It did so without know edge of the facts, admitting as much byusing the slanderer's subterfuge of crediting common report with the lie it told. The attack disgusted all decent persons, Democrats as well as Kepub licaue. .ow, however, the Gazette if not praising the new collector is doing the next thing to it: "We see as yet no reason to believe that he may not do as well as any of the candidates who sought the place. We certainly hope he maymake a model olliyinl." What does this mean?

The drastic dose self-administered by the Kspublican party on Tuesday verges on heroic treatment, but the patient will be all the better for it in 1S'.)2. At all events the party is a year ahead of the Democracy in its experience with Cleveland. It was in the second year of Cleveland's administration that the reaction from 188-1 was felt. In 1S8G the party was routed in this state in a manner to cause Senator Voorhees personal disgrace. It will be recalled that the senator snid he would consider it a personal disgrace if less than forty majoritywas secured in the legislature, and there was no majority. In that year the leading Democratic newspapers, the Indianapolis Sentinel and Louisville CourierJournal for instance, were denouncing Cleveland and predicting that he could not be renominated. The Democrats had but two years to recover from the regular relaxation of party lines that follows presidential elections. There are three years yet until the next presidential election.

This paragraph from a Cincinnati Knquirer editorial yesterday should call to their senses those foolish Democrats who think they see a revolution in Ohio politics:

The Kepubilcans who revolted against (iovernor Koraker did not revolt against the Republican party. Their opposition to their nominee Tor governor did not Interfere with their standing as Republicans. Their tldeliiy to their principles re mains

And this reminds us to say that the Indianapolis News is mistaken in itfi criticism of Mr. llalford's statement that the people once in four years vent their feelings by bolting party nominees. The News says that this means that in presidential elections the people vote for party and not principles. Begging the News' pardon it means nothing of the kind. In Ohio, Iowa and Virginia the people voted against men, not against principles, just as the News, in its local municipal alViiirs, supports men and not party. It would be as fair to say that the News was for party and not principles in the last presidential election, when it, a tariff reform paper, supported a protectionist candidate for president.

LOOKING TO THE WES1.

Mr. Cleveland has been interviewed and says the election shows that the leaven of taritV reform is working in the West. Mr. Cleveland is not acquainted with the West and anyhow spoke too soon. The later returns show most conclusively that the Democracy did not CBrry Ohio that only one Republican was defeated and that the claim that the issue was auything but persona! and looal to the state is most ridiculous. The same is true as to Iowa. The Republican ticket in Ohio was elected except Koraker. The taritT was not nn i6sue not one voter in a thousand took it into consideration on election day. .Perhaps the only state in the I'nion where the general or national party issues prevailed was Pennsylvania, because there was but one oilijer to be voted for and no diverting local or personal questions entered into the campaign. Moreover Pennsylvania is a state where the taritT is always an issue. How much leaven is there in the ('"2,000 majority there? w. But Mr. Cleveland turns Lo the West.

He hasn't entirely lost sight of that rainbow. He believes the people with whom he is not acquainted are coming over to the doctrine they repudiated last year. It is well that he should look away from New York for encouragement. The campaign and the election in that state was a most pronounced rebuke to himself. It was a Hill victory, and already the Demacratic press is hoisting the ticket of Hill and Campbell, thfl latter having been a protective tariff Democrat and of the Hill school of politics. The L'tica Herald thug summarises the meaning of the New York election:

The Democratic campaign was projected by him Hllij. The call for the convention was his. The ticket was dictated by him. The platform was taken to Syracuse direct from the executive chamber. and was amended only in one particular—the insertion of a perfunctory recognition of the existence ot (irover Cleveland, (iovernor Hill ordered the reconstruction of the state committee to the exclusion of Cleveland men In every possible case. And that there might be no possible mistake about his contempt for the Democratic expresldent. he went thro' the South telling the people that he omitted statistics from his speech because he left his cyclopedias at home.'- The Demo. ::rato of New York put the eeal of their approval on'Hill's treatment of Cleveland, The latter is henceforth not only a "back number he Is obsolete.

EXTREMES~MEET.

Miss Lodle E. Reed, the great temperance advocate at Indianapolis, has telegraphed to a frland here to ascertain the tacts about Vice President Morton having been made an honorary member of the Terre Haute Li'iuor Dealers' association.

The answer sent her was that the dispatches sent out of here were all facts, and she will use the Information at the national convention of the Women's Christian Temperance union, which Is now in session at Chicago. .Miss Reed le.lt for there yesterday.—[News.

Wouldn't it have been more honest in Mies Reed to have first telegraphed to Washington to ascertain the facts about Vice President Morton having a saloon on his hotel premises? Doesn't it occur to most persons that in her fanatical zeal she did not stop to consider whether or not she was joiniug in a common slander? The action of Terre Haute liquor dealers and this temperance advocate, taken together, furnishes a strong leESon as to temperance movement?. Here, indeed, extremes meet, both sides making use of a lie for claptrap purposes.

We want lo stick a pin on this point: the Iowa and Ohio elections did not go against high license or restrictive measures for the saloons. They did go against prohibition and sumptuary measures. The victorious candidate in Iowa ran on a high license platform. As showing how prohibition has made high license strong in the county in which Davenport is situated the following is of interest:

In 1880 Scott county voted for president as follows: (i irlleld ltep Hancock 'Dem) 2,591

Perhaps the most interesting feature of the endman's gag is the way in which the point is led up to—the construction of the scaffolding, so to speak. First the ultimate-gentleman remarks "say Then the interlocutor exhibits a wild surprise at being addressed In such a style, but finally recovers enough to open the chestnut with "Well, Mr. Hones?"

Mr. Bones makes a few remarks about the lovely young girl he met at the beach last summer-she was a beautiful creature—such lovely eyes—such flowing hair-all her own—knows it Is. saw the bills himself— proposed -accep'ed -details of wedding—found out alter lie married her that one of her eyrs was false "And what did you say to that. Mr. Bones'.'"

Mr. Hones "With all thy false eje love the still." Loud and enthusiastic applause, uring which Mr. Bones tries to show some blushes through the burnt cork, aft-r which Mr. Tenaweek favors us with "A S ice from the Baby's Kar."

Commercial Gazette: Cleveland proceeded slowly when he became president, because he was so Ignorant of public atiatrs and public men that he did not know how to do anything, and the civil service rules and regulations were a refuge for hjin. It was not long, however, before he was under the training and direction of practical politicians—In the possession of the business men ot politics, and as thoroughly In their hands as any president ever has been- making more removals simply because the Incumbents were not of his party than any other president ever made for the like partisan reason. lie had not got unite through when he was thrown out of office himself, though halt a million Republican YOters were disIranchised. and not the mugwump claim Is that he Is a reformer, the truth being that heslmply lacked the executive ability to perforin.

WAS IT VISION OR DREAM, WHICH?

Iu 18G7 I took my departure from Alexandria, La, going across the country in the direction of Lake Charles, says a Little Rock correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and in the afternoon of the second day I was overtaken by a high wind and blinding, drenching rain. The rain came down in torrents and the wind howled wildly through the towering boughs of the denee forest. Added to these causes of fear the lightning was almost unceasing, and ever and 'anon its lurid redness could be seen streaming around the tall trunk of some great tree, leaving in its wake a narrow white streak woere it had torn off the bark. But while the storm raged I rode into P. small opening, in the midst of which stood a decaying log house, with sheds on either side. Under one of these sheds I took shelter.

When the storm subsided the somber curtains of night had fallen about me, and I knew it would be rashness to attempt to proceed on my journey wjth the expectation of reaching atfarm^house consequently I resolutely determined to remain where I was.

Was I afraid? Well—no—but con-fi-:B I was affected with marked symptoms of "St. Vitus' dance but at this "dance" I felt no inclination to try a waltze. Kor I had no sooner coiled up on my bed than old stories of such dismal places came marching in through the windows of my irtomory, and I knew not at what moment 1 should see them materialized, trooping iu through the doorway of the old hut.

Finally I grew weary and fell aeleep about 10:30 o'clock, I suppose. Some time thereafter I awoke to Had the old cabin in good repair and furnished throughout-. A blazing fire crackled in the spacious fireplace, before which an elderly gentleman 6at reading aloud from a French newspaper. In the corner opposite my couch sat a beautiful young lady, dresse'd in a Mowing gown of immaculate white, attentively listening to the reading. Her jet-black locks fell in graceful ringlets over her shapely shoulders, and a light of superior intelligence gleamed from her dark, liquid, fawn-like eyes.

When the reading ceased both laughed the daughter arose, approached the father, affectionately brushed back his thin locks with her soft, white hand and pressed her coral lips to his fore head. She then walked across the room toasmail bureau, but 'just as she approached it some one called at the gate. The old gentleman walked to the door and asked—in good English: "Who is there?" "Two belated travelers who solicit jour hospitality," came in response. "Shall we entertain them, Pauline?" the father asked. "Yes, father,", the young lady replied, for it is a fearful night for any one to be out." "Very well, gentlemen, coma in, said the old' man. "In a few minutes the travelers were seated before the comfortable fire, chatting with their host and hostess in quite a sociable manner.

In the course of time something was said about cards, and the host immediately proposed a game of poker. The proposition wae eagerly accepted by the guests, and the trio were soon seated around a small table betting quite liberally. ick appeared to smile upon the host Presently an unusually large stake lay on the table and again the host won. The stout man was on his feet in a second, and drawing a brass-barreled pistol, sent a leaden missile of death in the direction of the winner. But the messenger missed its mark and plunged deep into the throbbing heart of the young lady. The blood spurted from the wound in a great crimson stream, and ere one could write a single word she sprang up, uttered heart-rending shriek and fell to the floor—dead.

But she had scarcely fallen when her father was shot dead by the dark man. This bloody deed seemed a great sur prise to the murderers, evincing the fact thai they had not intended to murder those who lay dead at their feet. Hence, after consultation, it was agreed to hide the bodies in the bosom of old earth. In accordance with this decision the remains were taken up and carried away.

In due time the murderers returned, and I understood that the bodies had been buried in a ravine about a half mile from the house. Having carefully washed the blood from the floor the men proceeded to rob the house and depart. Their receding footsteps had scarcely ceased to be heard when I observed 6treaks of daylight falling through the ciacks of the old hut, my fire had burned out, and I was alone, just as 1 was when I hnd fallen asleep.

Strange as it may appear, all thnt I had heard aud seen had not frightened or even excited me, and no one had given me any more attention thau the planks in the floor.

Well, I was soon in the saddle, and, after traveling four or five miles, reached a farm bouse. I informed mine host where I had spent the night, and made inquiry as to the history of the old house. "Ah! that is the question, my friend, that, has puzzled us all for many years. In 18IW an elderly Frenchman came up from New Orleane, and settled the place for a stock ranch. His business prospered and he accumulated money very rapidly. Finally his wife died, and he was left alone with his daughter "Yes, 1 mind Pauline, poor child," in terrupted the old lady, ending with a geu"ine sigh. "There were not many of us living hereabout them days," continued the subdued narrator, "and there was not much visiting between neighbors. Well, one day it was ascertained that our good old neighbor, Bosha, ayd his daughter were missing. at once suspected foul play, and this became almost certain when we found that blood had flowed over the floor Rnd had been partially washed off. Tnen, again, no money or valuables were found. A son of the missing man came up from New Orleans offered a large reward and made diligent and extended search, yet nothing was found. FinaHy he sold everything and returned to the city, dejected and disconsolate. "Time passed on and the circumstance was measurably forgotten, until last year, when parts of two humRn skeletons were found in a deep ravine about seven hunched yards from the old bouse where you spent the night. Nothing was found by which the remains could be identified yet, to my mind, the finding of the bones revealed the last restingplace of our old neighbor and his pretty daughter." "Is the place haunted?" 1 ventured to ask.

Again the old gentleman looked at his wife, and then hesitatingly answered: "Well, thoy do say it is. But, the fact is. noue of us ever go about it after dark.''

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPfiSSS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1889.

1MPOBTANT CHANGE OF TIME.

The Vundalia to Put on Two Extra Trains —Railroad Notes. Oc Monday the Vandalia will make changes in east and west trains by adding one train each way. A new train, to be known ne No. 2, will leave St. Louis at 11:35 a. m., making stops in Illinois and Indiana, arriving here at 5 p. m. and Indianapolis at 7:-15 p. m. The other new train will be known as No. 21. It will be a vestibuled through train, leaving New York at 2 p. m. and arriving at Indianapolis at 1 p. m. and St. Louis at 7:30 p. m., making five hours better time than any west bdund express. No. 1, which arrives at 2 p. m. from the east, will not be changed. No. 8, which heretofore has left St. Louis at 7:25 a. m., will leave at 8:40 a. m. The new east bound train will run on Sundays, but No. S will not nor wiil the train from the east, which arrives here at 10 a. m. The two new trains will be of great advantage to Terre Haute, as will the two that are to be added to the B. fc T. H. service, one arriving here from the south at 8:45 p. m. and leaving for the south at 10:15 a. m. There will be several important changes on the E & I. Monday. A local freight, which will carry passengers, will leave here at 0 a. m. for Washington and arrive here at p. m. The regular passenger will leave at 8 a. m. and arrive at p. m. The train which has been arri ving here at 9:55 a. m. and leaving at 5:30 p. m. is to bo taken off, but the mixed train will arrive at 10 a. m. and leave at 1 p. m.

Indianapolis Journal: To-day Geo. II. Prescott, superintendent of motive power of the Vandalia lines, will equip an engine on the eastern and one on the western division with an electric headlight, the device of an Indianapo is mechanic. If it performs satisfactorily, President McKeen has ordered Mr. Prescott to provide all the passenger engines with the light. The cost of the engine, dynamo and electric plant entire is 1350. The prevention of one wreck through its use would pay for the equipping of the motive power of any first-class road with this light.

Indianapolis Journal: J. B. Eckman, superintendent of the inspection and weighing associations of Indiana roads, has organized a branch at Terre Haute and has appointed a chief clerk and five assistants to look after the business. Each branch reports to the Central traffic association offices at Chicago. Next week he will organize one at Vincennes and another at Evansville.

The general ofliees of the Chicago «.fc Ohio river railroad were removed from Indianapolis to Kansas, 111., Wednesday afternoon, where they will remain permanently. The Kansas papers say the removal indicates a disposition on the part of the management toward the improvement of the road.

Wm. Ashmore, a cattle buyer from Oakland, 111., was knocked down and pretty badly injured about the head and hips Wednesday evening by No. 3 while tending to his stock on' a train in the Van yards near Thirteenth stfeet. His injuries were painful, but did not prevent him accompanying his stock.

Wednesday evening Al. Tautfer, a brakeman on the Van, had his left arm broken at the wrist by being thrown to the ground by the breaking of a handhold on a car while switching in the east yards.

Captain Grammer, trallic manager of the Mackey system, says he has inside information denying the reported sale of the C. & E. I. to the Vanderbilts.

A number of sheet iron tanks are being manufactured in the boiler shop. When finished they will be sent to Logansport, and used for storing oil.

Two little blue-eyed boys, one weighing eight and the other seven pounde, arrived at the home of JohnClite,of the repair shop, Wednesday morning.

Jacob Peters, of the erecting shop, seriously injured his back Wednesday evening while doing some heavy lifting, and is cohfined to his home.

About forty of the employes of the shop have formed a club and will woo Dame Fortune at the annual drawing of the Louisiana lottery.

HIGH JUMPING 1IOHSKS.

The Record Kstiibliuhed In New York Jtrokcn at Chicago. Chicago, November 7.—The world's

record for high jumping, six feet nine and one-quarter inches, which was made at the New York horse show last year by Mr. Gebhard't Leo and by Filemaker, was beaten by an inch and half by two horses at the Chicago horae show after midnight lBst night.

When six feet two inches cf timber was put up the contest narrowed down to Ontario, a Canadian bred horse, owned by S. S. Ilowland, of Mt. Morris, N. V.. and Roseberry, another Canadian, owned by Marehouse & Pepper, of Toronto.

Up went the bar to six feet^our inches. Ontario cleared it and Roseberry followed suit. The bar was raised to six feet six inches and again both horses cleared it. The excitement was now in tense as the jump grew near the record and both horses were in form. Six feet eight inches was announced as the hight of the bar, only an inch and a quarter from the record. Ontario led and made, three gallant attempts but failed. He was given another chance and clenred it grandly amid wild cheers. Roseberry flew it at his second attempt at perfection.

Now the bar went up to six feet teu inches, half an inch above the record, and the crowd in its excitement and enthusiasm rose to its feet en masse. The height was measured with the greatest accuracy so that there could be no caviling if the jump was made. Ontario came at it for the first time amid breathlers silence. The gallant horse rose, but he could not quite get over and the top bar was broken. Again the bay came at it, and this time he cleared it. An accurate measurement made the hight six feet ten and three quarter inches.

Now it was Roseberry's turn. He come at it like a lion, but hit the top rail hard, breaking it. The second attempt he flew it like a bird.

The jump was declnred a draw, each receiving $500. The horses will jump Bgain on Saturday for a purse.

Decided Against the Sugar Trust.

Nr.w VOKK, November 7.—The general term of the supreme court handed down decisions to-day, among them being the long expected one in the case of the North River sugar refining company which was some time ago incorporated in the sugar trust. Opinions are written in the case by Judges Daniels and Van Brunt, affirming the decision of Judge Barrett, ordering the diss 'lution of the company.

The Chicago Anarchists.

CHICAOO, November 7.—The Daily News says that Chief of Police Hubbard recently secured the admission of a trusted agent to membership in the anarchist society of this city, and that aa

a result he has discovered that preparations are making by them for a big demonstration on November 11 in honor of the executed anarchist?, including a public meeting at Battery armory. A parade and a visit to Waldheim cemetery are also proposed. They have already begun to distribute inflammatory circulars. Chief Hubbard says they will not be allowed to meet or parade.

A GOOD-NATURED BASS.

He Brought a FIsheruian'8 Tackle Bark to Him After Ruouliig Off With It. Several novel incidents illustrative of the voracity of black bass have been noted by fishermen. At Webster lake in Massachusetts (the weird name of the lake,ChargoggBgtgmanchogago2agu.ngamogg, possibly may abet the natural queerness of the fish), one windy day two Norwich fishermen were catching black bass rapidly. They were fishing a dozen rods from a beautiful island in fifteen feet of water and on delightfully rocky ground. They had pulled in a dozen or more fish, weighing from two to three and a half pounds each, when one of the fishermen had his line "hung up" for the sixth or eighth time among the'rocks at the bottom—this time securely. He tried to loosen the hook by every means known to a skillful fisherman, even pulled up anchor and rowed the boat all about the spot but vain were his efforts. Finally, in despair, he dropped his rod and pulled steadily on the line, hoping to break the hook, but the end of the oiled silk line had become rottn, and it parted, leaving five or six feet of line, together with a brand-new six-foot leader and two double gut-hooks at the bottom of the lake. The fact that he had no extra leader added to his unhappiness and embarrassment however, he noosed on a gut hook to his line and resumed fishing in the same place, glum enough. It was hardly a minute before he had another strike, and a vigorous one, and within five minutes landed in the bottom of the boat a handsome three-pounder. As the bass had been reeled slowly toward the boat and the second fisherman reached forward with the landing net to slide ft under the struggling fish he noted a singular tan gle, like water-weede, trailing along and about the bass's jaws. "What on earth has that fish got on his heud?" he exclaimed to his companion.

Almost instantly came the astounded response from that person, who likewise had been studying the phenomenon: "Well, I'll be blowed if that ain't your lost leader, and he's fetching it back to you. It ain't every pond that raises bass that are kind enough to bring a man's tackle that he's lost back to him."

It was true. The leader came aboard with the bass. Then the two fishermen pondered and finally penetrated the mystery of it all. The bass had three hooks altogether in his jaws. He had taken the two leader hcoks first and run under a rock with them. Therefore the fisherman couldn't get his "hung-up" hooks loose, for he was pulling the line acroes the edge of the rock under which .the bass was boused. After the line had parted the fish came out in time to take the third hook about as quickly as it was dropped into the water. It is not very uncommon for a bass to take both hooks of a line, but old fishermen say they never knew of one that took a third hook on the same occasion.

The Messrs. Ransom, old fishermen, had a somewhat similar experience at Gardner's lake not long ago, says the New York Sun. One had been fishing from the bow and the other the stern of the boat, and both had a strike simultaneously. As soon as they had begun to play the fish they perceived that their lines were too dangerously close together to promise a successful issue of the sport, but they could not separate them, and they did not solve the riddle until the game had been landed. Both had caught and played the same fish, whioh first took the hook of the bow fisherman and then swam thirty feet and swallowed the second hook.

A writer in the Sun recently sang the praises of mice for bait. Bumblebees are equally tempting. A fish will get out of the water to meet a bumblebee half
