"people's" oonven-

tions as there have been this summer. This Is exceptionally troe of the West bat tbe oaovement against, or independent of pv* party affiliation* is tor from being eonAned to that section of the oetmtry. In our own State this spirit of dUleyaltgr to party is viMe-spread, particularly sa regards local polittca. Many of the counties have put third, or independent tickets la nomination, while in many others, where tbe majority

the

dominant party is hopelessly large, their opponents have united with tbe independents, thus forming a strong coalition.

That this revolutionary tendency in politics will be attended by good results we ftrmly believe. Whether the demolition of the old parties and the creation of new ones out of the same material would exert any beneficial influence on the country may well be questioned but in a free country where every man IHM A

voice ill the making and unmaking of government, it is a good sign to see now and then symptoms of uneasiness betrayed by those under the party yoke. It shows that men are thinking for themselves and are not disposed to swallow all the sugar-coated pills thrown to by the politicians without knowing something of their contents. Nothing is truer than that a party becomes corrupt just in proportion as 1^ becomes strong, and when the majority in the State is practically iusunnountabie the dedications of dishonest officers are represented by figures correspondingly large. No State is better gov&rned than that in which the two leading parties are equally balanced, so that the smallest lapse from virtue by the reigning party Is sure, at the next election, to give the majority to its opponent. Where two parties are not thus equalbly balanced would be better, like the French, to have one or more parties besidea, which, by judicious combination, oould overthrow the strougeat. A tendeocy in this direction seems to be manifest in the politics of our country at the present time.

Leaving the State and qoraing down to local government it Is certain that polities have hitherto played too important apart in the selection of county and municipal offioexs. Many counties have for years been saddled with extravagant, and inefficient governments only because there was a heavy majority for one or the other political party. Rather than vote against their fevorite party, even in a local election, men have seen the affairs of the town or county ruinously mismanaged for years together Such folly oanpot be too severely condemned and if the present revolutionary movement results in breaking up some of these corrupt rings, defeating the patty politicians and putting honest men from asbong the people into office, it will work a gratefaland beneficent change.

WtFKBKATXMM.

Tbe New York Biapgteli 4«rt«a thai in Bnglaada law haa bewi propo^d fortha poniahnwwt of wifo-beatem, soma of the features of which are worthy of com a*eodation. In the linrt dause it I* spe*Jifted thai any man ooovkted of the offense of wile-beating shall In the first ofltenee be imprtaotted, wHh hard labor, for not la«a than three months nor more than nine, and he shall receive live strokes of the "art" In tbe ftrst week of his Imprieoament fear a second oUtmee ha stall be imprisoned aot leas than «l* •ormoee Oian twelve months, and raeelva twen-ty-five lashea of the "oat" cat the ftnrt and last weak* of his Imprisonment. Another clause of the bill enact* that In eanaequance of th» reluctance of wivaa to prcaocute under the act, from either •nr of »«ture vltdaooa or exposure of themaalvea and fluullies before the publia, it la Mtactod that a«| Mfion wHnesaea the perpetmtfah Wifo-»Bat-Ing may lawftilly repair to tlw residence of the next magistrate, or at petty sessions, and there lodge oompUiuton oath of such outrage, and the magistrate is required to take such information and to order a prosecution. We doubt tbe passage of the law. BafUahwen are hardly prepared for a law so stern and sweeping. Yet, w« think, the effect would be good. Among the rougher of the uneducated dssses «fe» Ant inclination on the slightest provocation la to reaortto brute force. Whan a man has oaoe beaten his wild he oeasea to have that respect tor her which he formerly held, and on every light occasion ha resorts to this quick way of enforcing obedience. From a slap he proceeds to blows, and shortly after to kicks, and too often ends by an exhibition of his noble manhood to daahtwg oat her brains with a dub or hatchet. Were such man to receive stern wad eevere punishment for the first offense, there is little likelihood that they would it bat If they found that they and thai# wives could not live together peaceably, they "would separate from them. The oat" has beeh found very effective in curbing the brutal instincts of the ruffian thieves of London. It might prove as powerful In repressing the brutal instincts of domestic ruffians, who are generally a more cowardly art than the street ruffians. We are not in favor of the "cat" on general principles, but we trust that the experiment of whipping wife-beaters may be tried in England. If found a sucoess there, it should be resorted to In this country, where wifebeating has become too frequent of late years.

THE FALL FAIR&

Grape-crowned autumn and ita annual fairs ate here once mare* All over the country the newspapers remind us that the days for the exhibition of the triumphs and marvels of the stock yard^nd the form, and the dairy have returned to show how bountifal Providence has this year again been to man! Verily, we live in a region singularly blessed with abundance, where Sidney Smith's boast that it was only neoessary to "tickle the earth with a hoe to make her laugh with a harvest," seems literally true. A single visit, to any one of the county and State Fairs now under way must convince the most skeptical that the several Executives of the Slates have more than ordinary cause to return profound thanks, in their forthcoming prodamations, to the Giver of all. Especially in this Great West the aggregate of the products of the soil has seldom been so immense as the present season, and the farmers themselves are amazed at the yield. The success of the formers implies the success of the country.

It wss a happy conception, In whatever brain it originated, that of bringing together once a year at these Stirs, tbe bronzed and hard-handed workers of the fields, whose hours of tasking labor in sun and wind crowd too closely upon one another to afford regular social eonverse and relaxation. It Is good to stop on the threshold of Aatnmn to think of what the formers do for us all, for It must bo admitted that they are at the bottom and foundation of tha whole social plan.

It la regretted by many that agricultural felrs have lost something of their original character and are so largely surrendered to horse racing. There ate, however, unquestionable signs of a reaction, encouraging tbe hope that the prevailing agricultural and jtuwufretnring traits will reassert tbem-

He thought aa much liquor waa sold now as under the old Hceuse law, and tbe school fund got none of the fees. He was in fevor of repealing the Baxter bill and putting In ita place a good and reasonable lloense law.

Joseph Gilbert aaid he believed the business of selling liquors, as now carried on in this city, a great evil, and not beneficial to society he did not believe It could he suppressed, but ahould be so regulated as to do as little harm ss possible. He would not vote for the repeal of the Baxter law, until be knew that he would get abetter law in it* place. In tbe next paragraph he saya he is In fkvor of a well guarded license law, as strong as can be enforced without incurring tbe open hoetltlty of a large elaaa of citizens.

Grelner, candidate on the Repub

lican ticket, said he considered the sale of liquors prejudicial, and if elected he would advocate and vote for the paaaage ef a law embodying the principles of the resolution prepared by Mr. Baxter and placed In the platform the Republican State convention.

John R. Garr, the other Republican candidate, said be considered saloons prejudicial to the welfare of society and was In fevor of retaining the Baxter law, with such modifications and amendments as experience of its practical workings may suggest.

Here we have a fair understanding. AH

the candidatea are in favor of temperance, but the Democratic candidates are with the saloon keepers in far or of the repeal of the Baxter law and substituting a license law. In the election of the one It Is a triumph for the saloons, in the election of the other it la a victory for temperance and good order. The issue is fairly and squarely before the voters of Vigo county.

18 TO

Presuming the people of this community In general, and the friends of the temperance cause in particular, would like to understand as fully as possible, both its present status and future prospects, as well as the desires and purposes of some of those who have been and still are identified with the movement, the temperance oommittee would respectfully present the following address:. HSBTOBX OF

THX KOVKMXHT

IN THIS cm.

It commenced on the 28th of last November, in the basement of the First Presbyterian church* where an audience of not over forty persons assembled to hear an address by Mr. Reynolds, lecturer for the State Temperance Society. It was a "day of very small things," ao much so that Mr. Reynolds spoke but a few minutes. Another meeting was held in the same place the next evening, with about the same result, but on the following evening—being Sunday, November 80th—a union meeting in Centenary M. E. church, proved a decided guocesa, at which Mr. Reynolds made one of his best efforts.

The results of this three days' meeting were the institution of a lodge of Good Templars, the appointment by a provisional oommittee of arrangements, aud the agreement ef the ministry of the city to preach upon the subject of temperance preparatory to calling amass meeting of the ci tissue at DowUng HalL

On the 15th of December a mass meeting, in the Interest of temperance, was held in DowUng Hall Col. R. W. Thompson dellvered ona of his ablest addresses and elicited much enthusiasm. A declaration of principles was adopted, and the present executive eommittee was ap. pointed.

About the first of January a series of mass meetings wss projected to he held iuidifferent parts of the vicinity, viz., at

son school house, V. B. church, as well as at Dowling's Had. These arrangements were fully carried oat.

On the 88th of January the, executive oommittee published a card threatening with prosecution any persons for illegally signing their names to l^ peti^oM.

We have good reason to believe that many men, fa danger of becoming confirned drunkards, have, for the tune, at least, been arrested in their downward oourae, while from the indubitable evidence we have of the faffing off of the profits in the liquor business, we are led strongly to hope that the muocss of mauufactunng drunkards has been materially interfered with.

have no hesitation in placing the a's tMiperaaos union foremost in the honor of having produoed these good results.

Considering the obstacles with which we had to oontend, the small number cf men women voiunteeiing to engage in the work and persevering in the same, and the amount of money spent in furthering the great effort we have had in view, we defy the world to produce a similar example where such large oaks have grown from such small aoorns: such grand affects from such insignificant causes. Judged in this way the City of Terre Haute ought to be the banner city of the state in the temperance reformation.

We are not dead, nor even sleeping we are resting, simply, for prudential reasons, but wide awake. Nor let any one for a moment suppose thst the women's tempersnoe union is dead that organization will speak for itself when the proper tims oomes.

Ws are about to address ourselves to the work of another year, aad we call on all our fellow citizens, without distinction of sect or party, to assist us— 1. In an impartial enforcement of al» the laws, and especially of those enacted to restrain the liquor traffic by saloon

2. In selecting and placing in office, good and tried men. 3. In fostering a healthy public sentiment on these questions, by fearlessly irt°r^'"g and speaking upon .(he. right side. 4. In contributions of money aS# weU as work for the furtherance of these ends.

We make this appeal to the generosity of the public, confidently, because we have managed this matter with great economy, the past year. And because we are now in a position to do much more good than heretofore.

We make our appeal to the public for pecuniary assistance, under the strong oonviction that a reasonable amount of funds placed in our hands, will conduoe greatly to the public economy, and general welfare of the community at large as well as save both individuals and families from untold sufferings and woe.

Our aim is to lessen the pubUo expense in the prosecution of crime and arrest the incalculable waste of private fortunes through intemperance ana as much as in ua lies, to force the Uquor traffic to bear its own expenses.

OUR NEW CHROMOS.

The subscribers to The Mail will be surprised and delighted with The Mall's new Chromos for the coming year, commencing the first of October. We intend to give the choice of two fine chromos, "Cherry Time" and "lily of the Field." These pictures were selected in New York, last May, after a visit to all the dealers in Chromos. At that time they were not quit© completed. The first installment of one thousand have arrived, and the pictures are fully up to our expectation. "Cherry Time represents a bright-faced boy coming from the orchard, bountifully laden with the delicious fruit. "lily of the Field" represents a beautiful little girl, with one of the sweetest qt faces, gathering llUee in tbe field. One la a wood scene, the other has an open meadow in the back ground. They are copies of paintings by W. H. Baker, of Brooklyn, and are executed moat faithfully by the French chromo artiste. They are catalogued and sold in the art stores at ft,00 each. They are entirely new, and surpass any chromo we have yet seen given in connection with newspapers or magazines. We will apeak of them more fully as the time approaches for sending them out. vs.' gsesndBtSBBBBSSESS
