THE "Mother Goose Masquerade" is a spectacle, pantomime and concert, all three. It takes from fifty to seventyfive performer*. It is varied in different places, according to the taste and genius of the manager. For the performance here, R. M. Sterrett has gotten up a programme that is a pcrfect magazine of oddities. A great deal of the musio, both sung and played, is of his own composition, wild, weird and funny. An orchestra will accompany the pantomimes and tableaux. The odd characters and queer rhymes of Mother Goose will come under review in the most startling manner. The fun will be illimitable. A circus is no where compared with this performance for fun at the same time it is perfectly ohaste and innocent. A matinee performanca will be given at the Opera House, Saturday, December 14tb, and the main performance that evening. The people from the country are especially invited to patronize the matinee in the afternoon.

SOME COMMENTS

ON MATTKH8 AND THINGS IN ERAL ABOUT TERRE HAUTE.

EDITOR MAII/:—A* your paper Is now the rooognized medium for getting information on local matters before the people of our city and county, the writer a&ks the privilege of your columns, for some comments on matters that ooucorn all our people. And firstly, the writer notices that Rdv. Mr. Bacon has stirred np the tcmperanoe people by his striatures and crltioisms on their methods of conducting the temperance work until it is the current topic of conversation and dlscnssion in nearly all circles of society. While the writer doe* not entirely agree with Mr. Bacon in hi* view* or criticisms of tbo work as conducted by some of our best people heretofore, his treatment of the subject will do good in keeping the queetion before the public for discussion, but the writer will now venture to offer some criticisms on former methods of work In this cause that will apply to other social problems as well.

It is admitted by the writer, to begin with, that the Christian church, when composed of orderly, consistent people, is, or should be the highest type of an organization known in this world for temperance and other reforms in society, but in practioe it is not so, and we are at times in great doubt whether the church is the moral force it pretends to be for the carrying out of social reforms, judging it by the political action of very many of its members, when they exercise their suffrages in choosing officers for the administration of our laws. The last election in this couuty furnishes a case in point that ought to bring a blush of shame to the faces of a large number of the citizens in this oounty, who pro fess to be Christians. It was as well known, before our last election, as anything could be, that the present Circuit Judge, and the Criminal Court Prosecutor were the candidates of the Whisky Ring and Saloon-keepers, to whom were opposed candidate* of a very different ntamp—moral Christian gentlemen—and yet the sickening spectacle was witnessed all over our county, on election day, of men of all denominations calling themselves Christians walking up to the polls, and casting their votes for men that owe their elevation to office solely to the solid vote and influence of the saloon keepers of this city and judioial circuit. No wonder that the church is scoffed at, and its members derided as hypocrites, when they almost universally lay down their religion for their political party candidates. If united, there is strength and influence enough among the churches to hurl the liquor traffic out of the land, but until its members cease to be hypocritical, and party-serving in their political action when it comes to choosing between men who patronize saloons and those who do not, its member* deserve all the criticism and opprobrium the world casts at them. Christian, get the beam out of thine eye before, Ac., Ac. HARD TIMES, SALOONS, GAMBLERS, Ac.

The writer occasionally reads the Express, and never pioks up a number but a wail about "Hard times" is read, and no wonder they are "hard" for many of its readers, The writer has traveled quite extensively over several States since the financial panio struck the country in '73, and it is a matter of surprise to him how so many men live off the liquor traffic. Here in Terre Haute, for the last year, every few days anew saloon blooms out furnished in extravagant style, and yet "Hard times" is the daily cry of one of our city papers. But you hear no demand for the enforcement of the law against the saloon men, and the result is that this city is fast gaining the reputation of 'containing more saloons, gamblers, and women of ill-fame to the square acre than any city of its size in the United States. But few saloons in the city pay any attention to the law requiring them to olose their houses on the Sabbath. On the contrary they seem to clean up purposely for a big day's business, and put on their best dress for Sunday evening*. Our Prosecutor is a Catholic, and is supposed to be Christian, but who has ever heard of his attempting to enforce the law against the saloon* for violations of the Sabbath?

THE ROSE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE.

This would be a grand monument to Mr. Rose's memory if the object for which he built it, and donated his money, is ever carried out. It is generally understood that Mr. Rose was the owner of preferred stocks and bonds in the various railroads leading into this city, of which he placed some fonr hundred thousand dollar* behind the Polytechnic institute as an endowment fund. The writer here ventures the prediction that no one will ever see that institution opened, and Mr. Roee's bequests carried oat.

If we had a Prosecutor that amounted to a tenth rate lawyer and cared anything for the interests of his constituent* be would demand of the board of trustees the execution of their trust, or bring an action against them to show oause why the trust is not executed. This property was left by Mr. Rose for a public purpose, and the public have a right to know why the School to not in operation. OBSERVE*.

—Over 600 styles of beantiful new prints are to be opened next Monday morning by Foster Brothers for the boliday trade.
