A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. P. S. WESTFALL,

EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

1KRRE HAUTE, MARCH 15, 1879

Tn grand old Republican party In this city aeons to have been turned over to tbe boys to play with.

THB President must have a happy family in his Cabinet—two years have passed without a change.

THE Underwriter says that the first ten of the last fifteen years formed the balycon period cf life insurance. The last five have been the lean years, but things are looking up.

SEVEN men were hanged yesterday— one each at Concord, N. H., Windsor, Vt., Lowell, Mais., Pueblo, Coloesdo, Marysville, Oil., and two at Portland, Oregon. There were thr*e gaUpwt away dosrn east and three in tbefar west?""

IN the important matter of smoking^ as in other things, America bids fair to outrank all competitors. In Germany the consumption of tobacco was six pounds per head for the entire population, in 1877, while in the United States it was only a third less. We can soon overcome that difference.

THE apportionment bill passed by the Legislature gives the Democrats nine members of Congress certain, and the Republicans three, with a barely possl ble chance for them in a fourth, the Indianapolis distriot. The gerrymander is about as bad as it could be made but not worse than that made by the Repub licans, a few years ago. Honors are easy between the two.

IN the face of the fact recently made public that State Auditor Henderson has been receiving about 12,006 a year from the insurance department alone, the Indianapolis News thinks we will not hear much more about "Gen. Mailson's having to resign if his salary is cut down." Perhaps not. Still, it in hard to tell what a State officer's notion of a respectable salary is.

Ax the regular session of the present General Assembly only thirty bills were passed, against 101 in 1877, and 123 in 1875. This is certainly a slim showing, if the value of the session is to be measured by the number of laws enacted but such would not be a fair criterion to judge by, as it is the quality rather than the quantity of legislation which constitutes its yalue. But perhaps there will be no room for complaint as to quantity when the special session has adjourned.

TKS new interest law provides that the legal rate of interest shall be six per cent, but permits contracts in writing to be made at olght per cent. If any greater rate than this is contracted for the exoess over six per cent shall be deemed usurious and illegal, and only six per cent can be recovered on such contract. All judgments bear but six per cent from date of rendition. As the law has no emergency clause it will not go into effect until the acts of the present Assembly are distributed through* out the State, which will probably be in J»ly or August next.

ON Monday evening Cyrus W. Field, celebrated at his his house in New York, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the laying of the Atlantic cable—or rather the beginning of which that event was the consummation. Over a thousand guests, embracing many leading men of the country, were present. During the oourse cf his remarks Mr. Field stated that there are now more than 70,000 miles of ooean cable laid, and that the duplex arrangement now enables messages to be sent in opposite directions at the same time, thus practically doubling the capacity of the wires.

REPORTS from New York represent business to be in a greatly improved condition, with indications of a heavy spring trade. The demand for laborers Is increasing constantly and all brqpcbet of industry appear is be imbued IrM I new life. It may fairly be saidttM|jt|i similar improvement exista UHOOgbuk the oountry generally. Emigration to the Western States and territories is constant and heavy, and the resouroea of that sedtfon of the Union are being rapidly developed. Thus it appears that the country is about entering upon a new era of solid and permanent prosper-

THE libel law passed recently by the Legislature is severely denounced toy the press of the State. Editors ask no special or unjust protection, and are ready to be held accountable for any improper publications, but the new law 1% unfair and oppressive. The Indianapolis News, sp«*king of it, says: "It puts a newspaper publiaber completely at the mercy of any eooundrel. The worst and moat irresponsible man in the oommunity may enter suit, and have the editor dragged from his bed at midnight and clapped into jail until be can provide ball, for publishing an undisputed fact, his arrest for crime for instance. Of course he oan p)»ad justification, but the case may neter oome

to trial. It may be intended that it never shall oome to trial, but la brought only to persecute Mid annoy. In times of politicaf excitement, it will be an easy matter to find authorities ready to enforce the letter of the law rigorously and at all hours against political opponents." Such a law, like others of an extreme character, will become odious to the people and remain a dead letter on the statute book.

THERE is a prospect that the extra session of Congress may be a protracted one. The Republican members have annoanced their determination to resist the appropriation bills, with the repeal of the election laws tacked on to them and the President is said to be in accord with the Republican leaders on this subject. The Democrats will not have large enough a majority to pass them over the veto and in this event there will be a dead-lock which may not soon be broken. _________

THE Indianapolis News has been interviewing leading business men of that city upon the subject of the proposed homestead or increased exemption law. The genoral sentiment seems to be tbajt increased exemption would be very detrimental to business, as it would binder the collection of just debts and would seriously impair the credit of many business men whose property does not exceed $1,000 in value. Several firms stated that their Illinois trade had been ieeriously affected by the homestead law of that State, and they feared the same state ef things would follow the passage of a similar law in this State. -f

If things don't bright* en tip in this line I am afraid the people will dicf of ennui," Another says: "Thousands are flocking here, and as many would leave if they had the means. The poorest meals are $1.25, and no accommodations such as are obtained in settled society. What are men, especially young men, thinking of when ihey spend their all te get here What assurance have they that a living oan be made when tbey come to this thriving (f) town? Men unused to manual labor bad better stay where they are." _________

THE growth of municipal indebtedness in this ceuntry is appalling. From statistics recently collected from reliable sources, it appears that the local indebtedness of five States and of eight cities in eight other States, is upwards of, $818,000,000. From this basis it is estimated that the local and municipal debts of the entire Union will not fall* short of $1,350,000,000. In the States of* New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, the local indebtedness has swelled from less than $222,000,000 in 1870, to nearly $468,000,000 in 1878, or more than doubling itself in eight years. The people will have to watch the manj^ement of their local and municipal affairs with a sharp eye or they will be utterly overwhelmed with debt.

A "NIGGER-KIIXER" consists of a little forked limb of a tree with a rubber string fastened to the end of each prong of the-fork. It is used by placing a pebble on the rubber, tyeld between the thumb and forefinger, (Br 0ov£n frf jfaf $hij Jprfc agd ttfen' letting loose. By this means the pebble is thrown with a force almost equal to that of gunpowder. By qome the instrument is called a "devil slinger," probably from its supposed infernal origin. The accuracy and force with which a boy can project a stone by the aid of a "nigger-killer," is one of the standing wonders of modern times, and many almost (but not quite) Incredible stories are told illustrating this juvenile accomplishment. The latest one comes from Evansville, where a boy performed the feat of putting out one of the eyes of a playmate by the skilfull use of a "nigger-killer." There is no law yet which provides for the encouragement of the use of the "devil slinger," but fin extra session of the Legislature has teen called, probably in part to provide for this ertergenejM

A SAD STORY.

Blxby, the young attorney who eloped some two months ago from Indianapolia with the wife of Mr. Dwinnell, has voluntarily returned and surrendered himself to the authorities. His story is a pitiful one. He went away the husband of an excellent woman, the father of a sweet little girl, and a young man standfag

wall tn his profession and in society. returns, at the end of a few weeks, a ken and rained maa. He fsels, as he says, that twenty years have been added to his age in this abort time. He has plnnged himself and those he loved into unutterable disgrace. He has suffered the tortures of the damned. He has wandered with the partner of his guilt far and wide through the world, seeking peace and rest bat finding none. Conscience-smitten at the enormity of his crime hecoald not forget ft tor an hour. It haunted bin day and night. Tbe faoe of hie little girl was before his ayes he beard her innocent prattle she was repeating tbe little piece be himself had taught her only a ?few weeks before. Crased and wild with grief and remorse, best length carried his paramour to her relatives in tbe eart and returned home.

It is tbe sad story of a broken-hearted man. And it is but another illustration of tbe inevitableness with which such sins are punished. Never has the guilty one escaped. And yet men continue to plunge over tbe terrible abyss of folly allow an impure and unbridled passion to destroy what it has been the work of years to create. Paced for tbe moment, {true culture.

they seem utterly blinded to what lies ahead of them. No sooner is the false step taken than remorse strikes terror to their heart*. At the first touch their imagined happiness turns to aabel, and instead of paradise, they find themselves in hell. It would seem as if the experience of one who had sinned thus would be sufflolent to deter all others from a similar crime but it appears there are still those who will not be satisfied until tbey have drank of the bitter waters for themselves. Like Bixby, they will find them bitter waters indeed.

THINKING IfFifr

If anyone were asked why it is that people so frequently impute mean and unworthy motives to others be would no doubt be puzzled to find au answer to the question. But that the disposition to do so prevails widely, almost generally, in fact, Is undeniable. How often do men go out of their way to absolutely hunt for a selfish motive that .will account for some act of their neighbor! It is doue daily and hourly. Smith subscribes a hundred dollars to help build a church in their neighborhood, but you will never persuade Jones to believe that thefe was not a selfish motive at the bottom of it. may not be able "to quite see through If," or to find an unworthy itubft'ttuf will explain it satisfactorily, but that the mean motive exists he is convinced as firmly as the old woman Byron hated believed she would "go to the moon" when she died. Jones concludes to lead abetter life and joins the oburch Smith helped io build but Smith oan't get rid of the notion for a long time that Jones bad

If it be true that a small and narrow mind is incapable of comprehending great and noble deeds in others, there is certainly no surer indication of a pure heart than the habitual endeavor to explain tbe actions and conduct of others in the light most favorable to them of "thinking no evil," which is the very ^essence of charity. There are some such in tbe world they are to be found scattered here and there through the world, for God could not afford to collect them together in a single community. It would be like taking the ten righteous men out of Sodom. But wherever they are tbey are recognized and appreciated. They are the men and women whose praise is in everybody's mouth. Tbey are loved and respected by all. Their faces are radiant with kindness and generosity, and it is always a pleasure to be near tbem.

It is not meant that every little criticism of men is to be deprecated and condemned. A late writer has well said: "Of oourse our minor weaknesses —those little frailties and idiosyncrasies, without which the study of humanity itself would be but dull monotonywill always be freely discussed while we are absent. Who would wish it otherwise? Jones ridicules Robinson's affectation and tbe attention which be pays to his dress. Robinson laugbs at the unoouth manner and slovenly appearanee which distinguishes Jones. Poor Brown'»pect^|aritie| became a briit for both the former gsntlemeil and yit there is no reason why all three of tbem should not .remain very good friends." We all have our little foibles and peculiarities which it is no harm to comment on, if d9M.iH •fpropM spirit. Bat this is far from the habit of attributing the actions of others to false or unworthy motives.

Neither la it meant iftat an evil deed i% jiot to be condemned as evil. That is not judging the heart, but only the fruit which it bears. No bad act springs from a good motive. It is not only proper, but It is a duty to denounce tbe evil deeds of evil men, and to denounce tbem strongly and openly. For thus is evil-doing to be reuderdtt odious. But oondemning a bad deed and ascribing a praiseworthy or indifferent one to a bad motive, are things widely separated. It la tbe habit of "thinking evil" of others, for tbe mere sake of thinking evil, that is to be condemned and discharged. It is a habit which has no excuse for its existence a relic of semi-barbarous times which ought to vanish before tbe beams of

Christianity

and civilisation.

And yet it is widely prevalent in modern society and will probably oontinue to be until the hearts and minds of men are permeated by the finer influences of

and from man to man. Every act that is done has its origin in selfishness that anyone may be animated by a spirit of generosity, may be moved by a sense of right aad duty, is utterly incredible to some minds. Only will they be driven to such an admission when every other method of explanation is impossible and even then it goes much against the

People like these assume to judge the hearts of their fellows take upon themselves to look beneath the outward circumstances and see the secret motive that inspired the act. And not only so, but they invariably see the heart to be a bad heart and the motive, to be an unworthy motive. In thus doing tbey take upon themselves no light responsibility. "Judge not, that ye be not fudged," and "with what measure ye jbete, it shall be measured to you again," are texts from which appropriate sermons might be preached to such as these. He who can imagine only selfishness and hypocrisy in his neighbor's heart,—what are we to think of his own* heart? Physios teaches ua that water fcill not rise above its head, and so does a study of the phenomena of mind teach ,ps that our conceptions of others are modified by tbe moral atmosphere which surrounds ourselves.

CRIME DOESN'T PA Y. There is a great deal of crime abroad, but it is refreshing to note that it is getting punished pretty severely. Crime, as a rule, is the most costly of indulgences. In these days of telegraphs, detectives, upright courts of justice, and substantial State Prisons, crime on tbe whole, doesn't pay. The young man who thinks of going into it for a business bad better pause a moment and inquire how many of tbe men he knows of who in one way or another have notoriously violated tbe law during tbe past year or two have escaped He might figure up also what they have made by Jt. He will find that a majority of tbem are behind prison walls, or soon will be. It has cost tbem about all the money tbey or tbeir re latlona could raise to defend themselves, unavailingly, in tbe Courts. Tuey are disgraced for life, as not more than one in a dozen will have tbe self-respect left when tbey oome out of prison to set up for respectable citizens among tbeir fellow men. *f

Forgery, misappropriation of funds, absconding with other people's money, indulging in confidence games, these and all tbe other forms of crime grow ing out of cupidity, cost in tbe end a hundred fold more than tbey bring. And repentance does not help matters much. Tbe best time to repent a crime la before one has committed it.

There are the crimes of sensuality also. Consider tbe infinite mischief they cause to families and. friends, and tbe probability that they will be detected and punished. The amount of cowardice and meanness usually uncovered or partly concealed in connection with this class of crimes gives one a poor opinion of the masculine half of spciety. The victim is usually the greatest sufferer, and when tbe libertine gets into trouble he is usually too ready either to shift the blame on the woman or hide behind her reputation to save himself from punishment. Many a scapegrace has been spared the publication of his rascality by considerate journalists in order to avoid injury to tbe reputation of the unfortunate girl who has been made the victim of false promises and persistent assaults upon her virtue. But as a rule, such crimes not only get published but are punished also. ui

Crime is a bad master. In one hand it carries a scourge of scorpions, and there is no healing salve in the other. It follows close on the footsteps of Vice. A pure, square, honest, truthful, straightforward lifc is the one to live if a man wants to take comfort. VM

THE SHO ULDER-8HR UOOING WOMEN. Ind. Herald. The oew l^bel law should have included still anotb^classof libelert, and by far a dbdre'dangerous class than even the malicious writers of the press. It is tbe shoulder-shrugging,and insinuating women, who utter Innocent words in damning accents, accompanied by shrugs add smiles of libelous meaning. These'are "the true villlfiers of society, tbe faithful adherents of the hydra headed devil, slander. A defamatory assertion which gets into print can be combated openly, either with the same weapon, or tbe horsewhip, or the shotun but the hateful emanations of ying tongues particularly female tongues—cannot met at all. Tbey float on a lower surface than any other species of libel. They are elusive, and difficult to trace to tbeir source but are as buoyant as thistle down, and are kept alive by malodorous breaths, too faint to be noticed, almost, yet potent for evil as the invisible malaria which poisons whoever inhales it. Idle, envious, malicious women have no conception of tbe amount of libelous poison thev disseminate from day to day. %o be sure thej aiu lUllUlMT 111 lUll*Vuttion which says "or otherwise commdnlcatlng a libel^-Oirectly or indirectly but cfnlfkS a" newspaper libel, thfltrTTrdm the wicked hintef and Hefamatbry lntltmaV tlons are so difficult to trace and substantiate, and so easy to lie out of, that they will get through unpunished ten times to one time they will reoeive tbeir reward..

THE TELEPHONE.

TERRE HAUTE AND INDIANAPOLIS MOUTH TO MOUTH.

ASYf-UM PARTY.

INSANE ASYLUM,

two miles from tbe Indianapolis office. At tbe institute is a telephone instrument. Connection was made with this, and Mrs. Hester, wife of Dr. Hester, one of tbe physicians of the institute, san^ several songs which could be hear both at Indianapolis and here in Terre Haute, and was greatly enjoyed at both places. One of her songs was "The Rose of Killarney" and the applause at Indianapolis could be beard here, and doubtless our applause at both of the other pla^a.

Tbe tones of tbe human voice are easily distinguishable. Mr. Norcross sang a song to tbe telephone here, without any announcement being made to those at the other end of the line as to the person who would sing it. Tbe song was one of the German dialectcomic pieces, and when it was finished Mr. Smith, at the other end of the line, who knows Mr. Noreross well, could be heard laughing, and quickly said, "First-rate, Ed."

Dr. Stephen J. Young, who was pres ent, asked Mr. Norcross to inquire of Mrs. Hester, of the asylum, who bad just finished singing a song, if she was tbe wife of Dr. Hester, of the asylum. She answered yes. Then the Doctor was introduced to her by Mr. Norcross, and they held quite a conversation. She introduced bim to Dr. Hester and a number of inquiries were made by Dr, Young after tbe condition of inmates of tbe asylum from here and other places, whom he bad known.

Last Sunday afternoon an event occurred that in tbe days of Father Mather would have been serious for the operators, but in this day of remarkable inventions is only tbo wonder of an hour. This was making telephonic communieation with Terre Haute and Indianapolis. Sunday afternoon was chosen because at that time the telegraphic wires were idle. E. II. Johnson, Mr. Norcross* efficient assistant in tbe telegraph office here, made tbe connection, aided by Archie Taylor, an accomplish ed electrician, who, by the way, is agent for tbe eale of telephones. During the afternoon, from three to six o'clock, more than a hundred of our prominent citizens, including several ladies, dropped in by invitation, and In turn listen ed to tbe musio and talk from Indianapo lis. There were six receivers at this end of the line and only as many persons could hear at a time. Tne tones of a small music box at Indianapolis could be distinctly heard here. Several per sons sang there, and it seemed the singers were here in an adjein ing room. Later in tbe afternoon, when only a few persons were present, and the room was more quiet, the work of the telephone was more interesting and satisfactory, and what follows we get from tbe Gazette. Connection was made with tbe

A WONDERFUL DUET.

Terre Haute requested Mr. Burgess Brown, at Indianapolis, and Mrs. Hester, at the asylum, to slug a duet. Both heard the request, and commenced talking about it, the six eaves droppers at Terre Haute hearing every word. Said Brown: "What shall we sing, .Mrs. Hester?" "I really do not know, Mr. Brown. Can't you suggest something?"

Mr. Nor5ross suggested "The sweet by and by." Brown assented. Mrs. Hester protested. "I—I know the tune very well, but—I am almost ashamed to say it—but really I do not know the words." Terre Haute could hear this hesitating acknowledgement of unfamiliarity with tbe words. It almost seemed aa if the aker could be seeh. The gailarft _rown commenced toreoljtethem. "&o,' said Mrs. H., "You needn't mind. I've got the book in the next room," snd off she went to get it. Then began this marvelous duet, sung by a soprano at the asylum, and a tenor at Indianapolis, two miles away, and listened to by au audience or six persons, seventy-three miles from one and seventy-five miles other. It seemed as if tbey were only in tbe next room. The time was perfect, and their voices chorded excellently.

In singing, each held one of the "receivers" to the ear, so that they kept to-

Kg

ther just as well as if tbey were standside by side. "Lilly Dale" was sung also by them.

Terre Haute furnished her portion of the entertainment by singins frem Mr. Norcross and Misses Anna Hyde and Flora Keller. There were solos and duets and trios, and the concert must have been a success, for a clamping of bands, and other demonstrations of applause at tbe Indianapolis and Asylum ends of the wire, could be heard distinctly. It was one of the most unique and charming entertainments the writer ever attended. ma
