W. KAll!-. Chairman.

The news from Columbus is thnt the "Senatorial conteSt iS being waged with earne8tnec?" and that the friends of the several cundidftt.es are engaged in "manufacturing $antiment." In such a conteat there chu be no doubt that the moderately expressed opinion of the Associated Press correspondent that Mr. brice is in tho lead ia eminently correct.

St. Jackson's day was not accorded as tuuch observance by the Democrats of the country as in former years. As Senator Edmunds remarked in the Eenate yesterday in the course of a few remarks in reply to a speech of Senator oorhees, Jackson was a typical Democrat. Since the days of reverence for the Democratic saint a Buffalo sheriff of big girth and thick wit has contradicted Jackson and the Democracy dare not appear to be upholding tho doctrines of the immortal "by the Eternal" lest they come under the displeasureof the inspired and holier leaders who in these days roll their eyes, eat, drink and respond to toasts in public places.

It is not at all surprising that a New York agent for capitalists should appear in Terre Haute now and offer to take a couple of hundred thousand dollars of the city's bonded indebtedness, which ia due, at a lower rate of interest than provided in the bonds now out. Of course the ageut can make a plausible showing for the city'e benellt. But he wants the bonds to run ten and twenty years at

1

per cent. The city can re­

deem the bonds in less than five yearp, if the city council will do what it should have done months ago, aud what it certainly will do immediately after the election in May. The S2f0 iiceure on saloons and the reduction of at least SI5,000 a year in expenses—capable of £20,000 reductionwould redeem the bonds in less than five years, so that there would be a very handsome net saving above the alluring ••roO.COO exhibited by the New York gentleman who wnnts to refund the ,000 into 4, per cent, bonds, payable in ten years and running twenty years. It is understood that the financiers of the city government think they can get a batter proposition by consulting other New York capitalists. No doubt. But suppose they consult among themselves fHUe bit summon their courage to impose the saloon tax and reduce the city's expenses, and with each date for interest paj ment redeem some cf the outstanding bonds.

MP. V0CRHELS' SECOND OVERTHROW. Mr. Yoorhees has the distinction of being laid low by the two senators on the li?publican side most famous for retort and keen party debate. Hie friends can claim for him that unlike his party colleagues he challenges the opposition of the leaders on the Republican side cf the senate. It is to his c-edit that he has been overthrown by Mr. legal la nucl Mr. Edmunds. True the Indiana sentator's peculiar and reckl^fs bombast is more inviting of attack from such masters of logic and sarcasm yet he has the distinction of being their victim when the Morgans are unable to extort anything more than a demand for is vote on the proposition before the senate.

Yesterday Mr. Yoorheesaddressed the senate on his reEolution in respect of the action of Lnited States District-At-torney Chambers on the warrant for the arrest of Dudley. Mr. Edmunds replied. The associated press report printed this morning tells how effectually he did so.

Mr. Edmuuda sent to the clerk's desk and had read an editorial from thr k\1'ijEjs, in which appeared the circular letter issued by Chairmrn Whittaker, of

the Democratic committee at Martinsville in this state. It is the letter Ttis Express frequently printed, during the campaign of 188S and since. It ia the letter whose authenticity had never been disputed until vesterday when Mr. oorhees did so. It is hard to believe that Mr. oorhees never heard of it before, as he declared in the senate. If it be true that he has been ignorant of it all this time we are furnished with an explanation of what has appeared to be

hiB

indifference to the active cam­

paign work of his party friends in his state. Now we can see how it is that Isaac P. Gray has a better and closer acquaintance with the machinery of the party and how it is that the ex-governor is in the lead for the senatorial election next winter. Even Mr. Bynum, of the bouse, must have seen that Martinsville letter in print and known of its genuineness.

Mr. Yoo-liees in his indignation over the blocks-of five letter denounces bribegivers. lie cannot be unaware of the testimony taken in the contested election case of Grimes vp. Bichowsky in his home county. Mr. Grimes was placed on the ticket for state senator as the especial candidate of Mr. oorhees against the wishes of the antiVoorhees Democrats who had defeated his protege, Mr. Lamb, for congress in this Democratic district, and who were trying to prevent the election of one who would vote for Mr. orhees re-election.

Mr. (irimes was defeated at

the polls, but the Democratic state senate gave him his seat in spite of the law and fact. Mr. Yoorhees had said that he would not ask for election to the United States senate unless his home county sent men to the legislature to vote for him. The Grimes contest was therefore made and in the sworn testimony taken here, was this, which has never been refuted nor cieuied in any manner by Mr. Grimes or his friends: (J. State linw many checks. IT you know, llenry Mitchell got In your presence, ami what was he to do with them?

A. He was to give them to live or six. These checks was to be given to the men. (J. Do you know what men'.'

A Thriftless Senator.

The Washington correspondent of the ChicBgo Ilerald is responsible for the statement that a Southern senator has been ejected from six houses in that city for not paying his rent, and the last time that it was done he sent for the senate wagons and had the senate employes cart his furniture to the basement of the senate wing, and there stored it for the summer. His credit is eo poor at the senate postcfrice that they will cot eive him a postage stamp without the cash, and he owes money to half the tradesmen in town.—I Boston Journal.

OVERWORK AND BODILY BANKRUPTCY.

3Iany Victims of Physiological Bankruptcy on the Death Roll.

Scarcely a week passes that some one, more or less prominent, or more or less useful to society, does not pass over to the silent majority—a victim to overwork and physiological bankruptcy, says the Chicago Herald. The greater part of the overwork of this time is the result of ignorance of its effects and consequences the remainder is the result of willful carelessness as to the effects. It ie but a short time since we had occasion to refer to the death of Henry W. Grady in a connection not entirely foreign to the present subject. Chicago now mourns the death of Judge Knickerbocker next week this city or some other part of the country may mourn another, cut off by overwork and want of proper exercise. At not infrequent intervals the country or the world is startled by the suicide of some prominent man, and we read: "No cause can be assigned for the rash act." So it was in the case of Hugh Miller, the stalwart Mason, who worked his WBy to the editorship of the Witness, and was the brightest mind in a country so remarkable for intellect as Scotland. The world was shocked when it heard that this man was a suicide but when the history of his life became known, and the stupendous toil that he had undergone, the world saw that the cause was systematic and sustained overwork.

FLAMES AT ST. LOUIS.

Burning of the Western Union Company OHlces—Narrow Escape.

St. Louis, Mo., January 8 —Shortly before seven o'clock this morning tire started in the basement of the Western Union Telegraph building, corner of Olive and Third streete. The building was an old one, and in addition to the Western Union Telegraph company, was occupied by the offices of the Associated Prese, the Daily Printing company, Allen A Ginter Cigarette company, the Bradley Printing and Roll company, and one or two other offices. At9:30 the fire was brought under complete control, but the building is gutted. All the Western Union wires were burned, but active efforts are being made by them to restore communication. They are receiving messnges at East St. Louis. The fire etarted in the basement, and spread upward so quickly that all the inmates of the operating-room had to lly for their live?, and many of them had narrow pscapes. The loss is estimated at $100,000, of which $50,000 falls on the Western Union company. The adjoining buildings were badly damaged by smoke and water.

A Kieven Years Old Hoy's 8ui«'.ide.

San Fit.\Nfts(-o, January S.—Clement Flint, the eleven-years old sonof Wm. S. Flint, attorney-at-law of this city, committed suicide this morning by shootiug himself in the temple. The story of the boy's death as told by his parents is a sorrowful one. He disappeared from home, after returning from school yesterday afternoon. Search was made for him last evening without success and he had not returned this morning, his father left the house to notify the police of the case. As he was passing along the street he saw his little boy on the opposite walk. The boy started to run and the father called him telling him to come back that he intended to do him no harm. The boy did not stop, bowever, but rushed into a neighboring house. When he reached the house a report, of pistol was heard and when Mr. Flint entered the house he found bis child on tiie floor with a terrible wound in the temple. He died a few hours later. The parents are unable to account for his act, but supposed that he feared to return home after remaining away all night. They don't know what caused his absence, as he was regarded as Bn obedient boy and was treated kindly at home. The pistol with which he shot himself was taken from a bureau drawer.

Where Spoiled Shoes Go.

Two neatly dressed, attractive looking girls got off an Eighth street car the other evening, and when a passenger offered one a seat she politely thanked him, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Then she epoke to her companion about a pair of shoes she spoiled that day in the factory where she works, and remarked that "Lizzie was lucky enough to win the shoes, nnd they were just her lit, too." The conversation sounded strange to the passenger, and by devious ways he got a pert miss, who is known as "our pretty button sewer," in a big uptown factory, to explain. This is what she said: 'Oh! whenever we snoil a shoe it is customary to ratlls it off. You see you buy chances for five cents, sometimes ten. Nearly every one takes at least one. Then we throw dice and the one that throws the highest takes the shoe. The poor girl that made the blunder doesn't have to suffer. Oh, we don't call it gambling. Its just taking cbanceBlike when one of us girls get married."

Paruell at Home.

Charles Stewart Parnell, when at home, conforms to local style in dress. His breeches are tied at the knee with ribbon vividly green in hue. Stout, brown worsted stockings, a little the worBe for wear, cover his shapely limbs, ending in a pair of brogues that have not recently been submitted to the black-ing-brush. A waistcoat left unbuttoned displays a blue cotton shirt a high collar, such as Mr. Gladstone wears in holiday time, is loosely tied with kerchief, green, but not so decidedly patriotic in tone bs the ribbons that knot the breeches at the knee. A high hat with exceedingly small brim is rakishly set on one side of his head, and you do not fail to notice the "cuddy" stuck in the rusty band that confines the base of the crown, and has braved many storms in the lovely Wicklow mountains.—[Baltimore Sun.
