A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

S. WESTFALL,

JSDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

•KE HAUTE, MAY 31, 1879

Mcinrr /ETNA IS reported to be In active eruption, with streams lava running d^wn its sides. The villagers thereabouts are packing up to leave.

^LASTSunday, Robert's Park M. E. cbnrch, of Indianapolis, raised §12,000 to apply on tbe church debt, which is $39,000. Bishop Simpson preached the •ermon.

,.**•

THE New York Times has report* from 75 special correspondents in SI State*, touching the condition of bnsiXHMut. vhich show a steady and substantial improvement throughout the country Ktuerally.

THE Indianapolis Journal predicts •thai inside of ten years Indianapolis will Le looked to again, as she was ten years ago, as the coming inland city of Amer ica. That is a pleasant sort of prophecy

which least.

can probably do no harm, at

SBCBETART SHERMAN has formally entered the lists of Presidential aspirants, to the no small displeasure of tbe Grant and Conkling men. The iniiu ence of the administration will be in his favor, and there is the promise of lively fight for the nomination next summer.

NEARLY six thousand foreign inami grants landed at New York, during last week, and the number is expected to increase weekly from this on. The consular representatives of this country abroad state that the immigration this season will lie larger than any time within the past decade.

THE Ohio Republican State conven tiou was held at Cincinnati on Wednesday, and was very large and enthusiastic. Hon. Charles Foster was nominated for governor, beating Judge Taft by only eight votes. Tbe Republicans predict the election of their ticket by •from 20,000 to 30,000 majority.

WE are glad to learn that George C. Harding's mental condition is improving and that in a short time be will probably be at his post again. When *u editor goes crazy it is mighty handy to have such a woman as Mrs. Gertrude Garrison to take the helm. Under her direction the Herald sails as skillfully and as gracefully as when the captain jwas on deck.

THE President has again vetoed the appropriation bill because it contained provisions repealing certain sections of the election laws. The veto was expected, and causes no surprise or disappointment. The Democrats are pursuing the tactics of a lawyer in the trial of a case, who makes motions for tbe court to overrule, so as to get them into the record. They propose to make the vetoes part of the record of the present congress. Whether or not the appellate court (the people) will sustain or reverse tbe rulings of the President will be seen in due time.

THE Indianapolis Benevolent Society is pursuing a wise plan in endeavoring to bring employers and those seeking employment together. Those wishing uituatitfbs register their names and tbe society makes inquiries as to their worthiness, and keeps a record of the result. In this manner situations are obtained for those who are really deserving, and people who are willing to work are left no excuse for being idle. To abolish idleness is for the most part to do away with pauperism and the society thus strikes at the very root of the evil it wishes to destroy.

THE "Gate City Voice" is another venture in Saturday journalism. It come to as from Ktnsas City, Missouri. It is a model of typographical neatness, and in editorial and selected matter the editors show that they have a true conception of tbe field they are to occupy. The publishers are J. O. VauDnzer and •. H. Longley. It will be remembered •that Mr. VauDuzer spent several days here some weeks ago, and it was reported that he was about to purchase the Express. It seems, however, that The Mail's success turned his attention aud capital into Saturday journalism with the result above named.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON, tbe great anti-slavery agitator, died last Sunday night, aged seventy-four. Fifty years ago he made his appeal for tbe emancipation of the slaves. In tbe first number of his "Liberator," published Jan. 1, 1831, he said: "I am in earnest. I will not equivocate, I will not retreat a single Inch, and I will be heard!" To the cause of human freedom he devoted his life uninterruptedly, uncompromisingly and enthusiastically. His last public utterance—a letter read at the recent Cooper Institute meeting—was an appeal for tbe emancipated slaves now seeking homes in Kansas.

OF the truth' of tbe eloquent Si. Bautain's assertion that most orators spoil their speeches by length!ness, the people of Tenre Haute bad a recent demonstration. But why do orators do so, is the question. Bautatn shows that prolixity is the principal disadvantage of extemporaneous speaking, and that there is a perpetual risk of being carried away by tbe movement of the thoughts tn this form of discourse. It really requires much Ume to lexpress one's self briefly the natural tendency is to be

loose, vague and wordy. By taking sufficient time and reducing our thoughts to writing, we are enabled to prune away this natural superfluity and make our composition chaste and oonclse but to .do thia requires more time than it vrould to compose a pro duction vastly more voluminous. Nor is it only the extemporaneous speakers who bore by their never ending speeches It Is quite as frequently the fault of those who read from their manuscripts, Such would do well to remember that while it la proper and necessary for a speaker to be fall of his subject, it Is neither necessary nor proper that he ahould completely empty himself ef it upon his audience the quantity they are able and willing to hold, not the quantity he Is able to pour out, is the proper and polite measurement ou sopii occasions.

AN eastern periodical, after critically noticing the four principal art exhlbi tions given in New York during tbe past winter and spring, expresses the conviction that the tendency among American artists is in the direction of more thoughtful and thorough work More attention is devoted to technique and the scope of the picture it not so unlimited. Ten years ago a pai.ter must include fifty miles of country in his^vlew now he is content with a few rods of landscape more carefully executed. More attention is given to de tails and to working out tbe real truths of nature. This is certainly progress in the right direction and this dispostion to do careful and thorough work should be encouraged by the patrons of art in tbe purchase of pictures which bear tbe marks of it.

THE injustice of our laws in relation to.the sexes finds an illustration in tbe case of Mrs. Barney Williams,,tht actress. It will be remembered that by his will Barney Williams left certain specific sums to various members of his family. The will was doubtless made under the impression that after the devises were paid there would be an ample surplus for his widow. Such & not the case and tbe devisees have exacted to the utmost the fulfillment of the will, thus compelling Mrs. Williams to return to the stage to earn a livelihood. This is all the more cruel from the fact that Barney Williams' fortune was the result of the combined efforts of himself and wife—she doing as much to earn it as he. Had she died first, the entire property would have been at the disposal of tbe husband.

RESULTS OF THE EXOD US. In discussing the exodus of the negroes from the South a certain journal predicts, should the movement assume formidable proportions, the following results: 1. Yellow fever in the North. 2. The crippling of the industries of the South. 3. Suffering and starvation for the negroes who emigrate, In regard to the first, there have always been negroes in the North and it is difficult to see why the coming of others should produce yellow fever. It has been pretty clearly ascertained that the disease is governed more by latitude and sanitary conditions than by race. As to tbe second result, it may be said that if that if tbe negroes are oppressed and misused in the South the industries of that section ought to suffer until their rights are accorded them, No country can expect to prosper where the laborer is cheated of the just fruits of his toil. In regard to the third result, tbe large number of ^colored people who have lived in the North for years past have got along reasonably well—many of them better than some of their white neighbors. Why those who come now should suffer and starve is not as clear as a demonstration in geometry.

The fact is, in spite of newspaper predictions and prophecies, this question, like all others of a similar kind, will work out itself. And the result will be good rather than evil, The emigration will continue till a chauge of spirit is brought about in the South, on the part of landowners,| and the negroes are justly dealt with, and when that time comes it will cease. Movements of this kind have a natural tendency to an equilibrium, and when that is reached there is an end of the distuibance,

EXPENSIVE LIVING. There is no doubt that a man is justified in living as well as his means and income will warrant. He owes this to himself and to his family, and besides increasing their sources of enjoyment,

he is thus enabled, if he have large means, to benefit others, by giving employment to servants and others in the care of his house and grounds. He also becomes a largs consumer of products of all kinds, and the income wbioh he receives he distributes sgain into the channels of trade and business, thus stimulating sll clssses of industry. Is not this better for all than hording up his money and keeping it for bis children to wrangle over after his death? Agenerons style of living should excite no one's jealousy or envy it is but giving out again to tbe community what a man has, received from it, and this is to ths advantage of all. *, ..

Tbe wrong and barm oomeof living beyond one's means. This prod aces on of two effects upon man, and sometimes both: it either makes him dishonest—a sort of polite and profound dead-beat—who gets whatever he can without

paying

TERRE HAT7TE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

there are few sadder sights than a man fretted and soared by debts which be is unable to pay, and resorting to dishonest practices for relief.

Tbe condemnabls thing in American society la the foolish rivalry among families- -a sort of social competition to outdo each other in their styles of living, This rivalry displays itself in grand bouses, costly furnishings, fine carriages, expensive dressing, etc., and leads to the ruin of many men who might have led honored, respected lives, and supplied their families with all the comforts and many of the luxuries of the time. This disposition cannot be too severely deprecated. It is tbe worst enemy of domestio happiness because it undermines and destroys that sense of repose which is necessary tf render the family peaceful and contended.

NEWSPAPERS AND THEATRES. The General Assembly of the Presby terian church, recently in session at Saratoga, adopted resolutions condemn ing tbe praotioe of church members attending theatres as inconsistent with christian duty, as countenancing ati institution that is a school of immorality, and as tending to obliterate the tone which should exist between christians and the world. The assembly also passed a resolution condemning the growing practice of reading secular newspapers on Sunday.

Doubtless there is ground enough for tbe position taken by the church, but it grows out of the abuse of the things named, not out of their reasonable in dulgence. It is not true that the theatre and the opera are schools of immorality, and the day has gone4by for denouncing tbem as such. There are immoral plays and operas (and enough of them, to be sure), but there are ethers which instil the highest principles of virtue and morality. But the excessive indulgence in amusements of this kind is to bo deprecated for the same reason that intemperance in other things is, and many church members are guilty of this excess. The same is to be said of the reading of newspapers on Sunday people read them to excess—ta the exclusion of good books. But if the average of denominational newspapers were to be substituted for the secular ones thus read, it is questionable whether much would be gained by the exchange.

Probably the position occupied by a prominent minister of the Presbyterian church, namely, to get men converted and then let them indulge in such pleasures as their consciences will allow them to, is about as nearly the correct one as the church can take. Men's views will differ upon matters of this kind, audit is pretty hard to make one brother leave off his meat and his wine because another finds offence in these things. _____________ if

HUSBAND MURDERERS** N. Y. Sun. Mrs. Kate Cobb and Wesley Bishop have both been sentenced to State prison for life for the murder of Mrs. Cobb's husband Mrs. Jenny Smith and Covert D. Bennett were, on Saturday, found guilty by a jury of having deliberately murdered Mrs. Smith's husband. Mrs. George H. Mack, of Rock county, Wisconsin, is in State prison for life for the mnrHar \fr. Manic, and Frank Dif'kfir-

murder of Mr. Mack, and Frank Dicker son, Mrs. Mack's ooy paramour, on whose testimony Mrs. Mack was convicted, is now on trial as an accomplice in the murder. In Lowville, this State, Mrs. Harriet Merrihew is in prison for the murder of her husband's brother, and the attempted murder of her husband, whose life was fortunately saved by the timely dismissal of Mrs. Merrihew from her position of nurse of the sick man. Mrs. Merrihew has confessed her guilt, and her alleged accomplice is under arrest. A singular feature of all these cases is that there is no pretence that the victims were otherwise than good husbands. \,3 :v.

PA-

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY PERS. •. Modern Argo. I

There has been a change iu newspaers, as well as in books, within tbe last ew years. People are demanding better papers to-day, just as they are calling for better books, finer music, purer plays, and more artistic pictures. The shallow book no longer satisfies poor music is not patronized immoral plays are given to empty bouses and artistic daubs find a limited market. The sense and taste of the people have been improved, and "the end is not yet." Those who read the papers, even hastily, begin to grow fastidious. They demand better papers. Not better in the sense of being "goody-goody," but in being free from the dally filth and rubbish that ought to be allowed to perish unnoticed. Even the daily papers which pretend to publish everything, are gradnally putting on more respectable airs, and we predict that within the next de-

or sooner, there will be a vastim-

provement in the daily press In this respeot. The old story papers too, such ss the Ledger and New York Weekly, are slowly, but surely leslng their readers. They are being supplanted by a new element In the newspaper world. In their

Eave

lace, and occupying higher ground come into existence a class of Saturday and Sunday morning papers. These papers are Independent but not neutral. They deal with questions of the hour, give a large amount of literary matter, original and selected, and they do not neglect the local affairs of the city in which they are published. Among this class of papers, of respectability snd influence, we mention tbe following,* beginning in the West: The St. Louis Spirit, the Chicago Herald, Peck's (Milwaukee) Sun, the Peoria Call, the Bloomington Eye, tbe Teire Haute Mail, the Crawaiordsville Journal, the Kokomo Tribune, the Indianapolis Saturday Herald and Tbe People, of the same city. Further north we find Tbe Reporter, of Fon Da Lac, Wis., and the Grand Rapida Post, of Mich. And going East, we meet tbe Cincinnsti Saturday Night, the Wheeling Leader, the Buffalo Every Saturday, the Syracuse Sunday Times, the Utica Sunday Tribune, the Philadelphia Sunday Times, the Phllsdelpbis Sunday Item, the Meriden Recorder, the Yonker's Gazette, tbe Norristown Herald, and the Washington Sunday Capital. The Saturday Gazette, Sunday Courier and Boston Home Journal, are leading papers in Boston, and The Home Journal, of New York, to a favorite and influential paper, with tbe inhabitants of Gotham. And

certainly there are no Baltimoreans but who are proud of their beautiful Saturday papers, The Baltiraorean and Every Saturday. The Modern Argois proud to count itself In with this brilliant array of excellent Saturday newspapers

T. RIDDLE.

This gentleman has within a few days been released from bis business troubles, having fulfilled bis obligations in tbe bankruptcy proceedings,* and is now again in position to again battle for business. We cordially endorse the following from tbe Express:

A malignant and persistent effort was made ana kept rainst Mr. T. H.

£tisup

agi

g1m

business troubles of

over a year ago, by a few enemies, as well as a few pretended friends, who went so far as, by false sweating, as has since been shown on investigation, to get an indictment against him in the United States court for violation of tbe bankrupt law. But as soon as be began to defend himself it became evident to those wbo investigated tbe matter that he had been greatly wronged and misrepresented, as was shown in part by the ready acceptance of a settlement by the

reat majority of his creditors, relieving from bankruptcy .proceedings, anc many offering to give bim any assist anew be migbt wane to start up in bus! ness again. The indictment, although every possible means was resorted to to make something out of it, after just one year's effort, with large expense to the state, has been dismissed, having no ground for action. Mr. R. has gone quietly on, atttending to bis own business, although greatly crushed and humiliated, not only at the trreat sacrifice of bis property, the fruits of years of bard labor and exertion, but resting under the stigma of an alleged dishonest and dishonorable business transaction. A man's reputation for business sullied, is like a woman's reputation for chastity. «Each feels a slight, or unkind remark, if innocent, more keenly than on any other point they might be assailed. We are glad to know that Mr. Riddle is being vindicated every day, and that the mistakes that were made were not of the heart, but of the head, and the force of peculiar circumstances by which he was surrounded. He is now about to commence two or three important suits against some of the parties, that will still further show the other side of the question and we hope to see him not only successful, but that he will put forth greater efforts and be crowned with greater success in his future business efforts, tkau he ever was in the past.

DOES IT PAY9

A representative of the Cincinnati Enquirer, recently interviewed Mr. Hill, the Indefatigable and shrewd manager of Den Thompson. In reply to tbe question, "Does advertising pay?" be said: "Well for years past I have expended as high as $30,000 per annum, and I wouldn't and couldn't do it unless it did pay. I find that wheu you have a really meritorious article to present to the public you never lose a dollar in making the fact known as widely as possible. It must be meritorious,though, or your success will be short lived and evanescent. You must treat the public honestly if you would make a permanent success. Take 'Joshua Whitcomb,' for instance. It cost years of time and thousands and thousands of dollars to bring it before tbe public. But what has been the result Success so great that unless I showed you the books you could hardly believe the figures. I took a whole page of tbe Chicago.Tribune on one occasion, and the people thought 1 was mad. I got my money back with magnificent interest, though, and, of course, that satisfied me. I took a whole page of the Boston Herald one Sunday, paying $500 for the same, and every man, woman aad child in Boston and vicinity was set to talking about Denman Thompson as Joshua Whitcomb, and tbe result was that tbe theater In which we performed could not hold half of the people who presented themselves nightly for admission. I offered fl,000 .for the first page of the New York'Herald, provided the 'ruling' would be omitted. I did not get it, though, for

Bennett was in Europe, and there was no one in authority in tbe office who could take out the rules. However, I advertised very extensively, and though we played in the Lyceum Theater, which not even the genius of Charles Fletcher could fill, after the first week we turned people from tbe door nightly. Yes, sir, advertising—newspaper advertising—does pay, and handsomely, too, if you have anything that is worth advertising." Mr. Hill knows whereof he speaks, and his testimony is worthy of thought and consideration. & ii

AMUSEMENTS.

Notwithstanding the many and unusually attractive gatherings outside the Opera Houqp last night, there was a good sized audience assembled to witness "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as given by the Forbe3 dramatic company. This evening will be played tbe thrilling and sensational drama, of the "Tbe Black Diamonds." Says the Chicago Times concerning it:

Charless Forbes' Black Diamond combination hav» just closed one of the most successful week's engagements ever played in this city. The theatre has been crowded nightly by the best citizens of Chicago. The piece abounds in fine situations, with enoifgh variety in it to make it sparkling and brilliant. We feel a little proud of the success of this drama, owing to its being written and dramatized by our townsman, Albert W. Aiken, Ewj., which was recently published in The Fireside Companion. The piece is highly sensational, while portions of it are very laughable, The company is first-class, and are ladie* ami gentlemen both on and off the stage.

A PRETTY PARLOR

W. H. Scudder, tbe veteran ke cream man, has thoroughly refitted bis spacious ice cream parlor-Ryes & Walmsley doing a job of papering that inelegance and harmony of colors delights the eye. His pretty parlor Is now open every day and evening, except Sunday. Mr. Scudder has for years kept himself in the front rank as a caterer to the public taste in the ice cream and refreshment line, and this season intends to use extra efforts to please his patrons. He will use pure Alderny cream, and supply families at the reduced price of |1.S0 a gallon, with a further discount to picnics, and where large quantities are taken.
