TERRE HAUTE, JULY 26,1879

TUB jury in the Buford murder trial, in Kentucky, are commended for sending the defendant to prison for life. It was feared they migbt find him to be a ravipg maniac. The evidence to prove insanity was nnnsualiy strong, it having been shown that Baford bad qaeer ways, and bad at various times threatened to kill different persons tbat some of bis relations were not of sound mind, and tbat be became much excited over the lawsuit wbicb Judge Elliott decided againat bim. Tbat a Kentucky jury should find a man sane and guilty in tbe teeth of evidence like this is certainly matter for congratulation.

IN tbe beginning of the Fall River strike there was a good deal of sympathy fpx tbe strikers on the part of the public, but the striking spinners are pursuing tbe course to surely destroy this favorable leaning toward tbem. On Monday night a mob of strikers, composed of men, women and children, attacked a woman and ber son who had come from Warren, R. I. and bad been given work in tbe mills. Tbe disturbance was quelled by tbe police. Demonstrations of violence were made by tbe strikers in other places. Tbe strikers bave been steadily losing ground from the first, and are already practically beaten, and tbey will but hasten their defeat by these riotous demonstrations. Sv®il

ing up tbe business outlook in tbat city, say8 that a real and genuine improvement is visible on all sides. Real estate, though still down, is much better than it was. The great boot and shoe bustswell is coming rapidly up, all the manufactories ^jtbin forty miles of Boston running to their fullest capacity, are paying satisfactory wages. The.cotton, wollen and other mills are also running on full time or preparing to do so. The '.Fall River mills are all running in spite of the strike. Other industries shorn -similar signs of vigor and -life. Tnje bountiful harvests which providence bas sent us and tbe steady pull of t^e people will soon bring onr country again .into a season of genuine properity.

THE talk about there being four millions of tramps in the country, or a tenth of that number, being men out of employment because there is ao ^work for them to do, ia the veriest nonsense. Tbia kind of buncombe comes from tbe professional strikers and labor •r*«itators who rfeVer work II thfcy can help it, (except with their jaws) and ife not worth a serious denial.^ Jt is:safe to /,-say that nine tramps out ©if every teb IA prowling over the country now, are not seeking work, but are taking this rnetb--•d of living without work. They art not working men,'never were^'and never will be.

SLANDER suits bave not the Highest •landing in tbe courts, chiefly, perhaps, because tbey are frequently brought by dishonest clients and unscrupulous lawyers for purposes of .blackmail,^ And yet, while tbe tongue of tbe slanderer wagH, sllmtug over fair names with its villainous lies, and bringing honest men and women into questionable standing, there will and ought to be prusecutions of this kind. It is doubtrul, indeed, -whether they are brought so frequently as would be justifiable, from the natural •indisposition of many people to go to law. At any rate it is certain tbat the habit of vicious gossip prevails to an alarming extent, especially in the smaller towns, hardly any man's or woman's character being safe from the pollution of gossiping tongues. It is noteworthy, too, that the habitual gossip seldom deals in words of praise or commendation, bat almost uniformly in expressions derogatory of tbe honor of bis unconscious victim. Tbe bablt may well be stigmatized as a sort of moral smallpox which infects all who come near it -*ritva its deadly venom. a

point

Atfeichange makes the point tbat the mule is the most abused, overworked and despised of all the animals that have been placed under tbe dominion of man, and argues tbat tbe principal mason of this is tbat the poor beast has the misfortune to be ugly. We are not disposed to quarrel, either with tbe «uiemcnt as a fact, or the reason assigned for It for that tbe mule is aadlv abased no one would have the hardihood to deny, and that he isf fc beautiful beast it would doubtless require even greater hardihood to assert. There are several points strongly against him. His ears are grotesquely promi nent and his tail is little short of the In dicroum And yet there is tbat in his countenance which bespeaks a kind heart. Be baa a good natured twinkle In his eye which never forsakes it even

the harshest treatment, and hi*

uncouth restores express a meek contentment, forbearance and long-suffer-Ing which make his homely tags uni­

formly

pleasant to look upon.. Poor

quadruped if he was half as handsome an he is good, his lot would be far hap9 f"

IT is a good time now, when then la freedom from political excitement, to get a clear idea of tbe political issues which are to oom* prominently before the people In the coming campaign which will soon be uponos. Two issues are already so made tbat tbey can not be otherwise than prominent next year. One is whether the national government has any right to supervise the polls when members of Congress are elected. On tbe one hand it is claimed that every State has the right to manage all elections held within it, whether for State or national offloes. On the other hand it is contended that, as all the states are interested in having an hon est election of national officers, the gen eral government has a right, and it is its duty, to see to it tbat there be honesty In voting for member* of Congress and other national offioers. It is agreed on both sides tbat tbe national government bas nothing to do with tbe election of State officers, no matter how much corruption or fraud there may be. It is simply the question whether all tbe States combined bave a tight through the general govrenment to see to it that every State acts fairly and honestly toward all the otbei States. It is evident that cheating or intimidation in one State, by wbicb a man is put into Congress who does not belong there, affects the interests of all the other States. Shall tbe national government attend to tbis matter, or shall it be left entirely in tbe bands of the State government? Shall the United States, for example, when members of Congress are elected, see to it that there is honest voting in Pbiiadelphis, New York, Chicago and Cincinnati, or shall this be left entirely to the honesty and faithfulness of the officials in the several States where these cities are located, officials whom these fraudulent voters may have put in power? I'"

The other issue, which is kindred to tbe first, is whether there shall be "honest elections" or "free elections that is, whether there shall be such safeguards about the ballot box tbat voting shall be confined to 4hose who fcave a right to vote and open to all whoiiave a right to vote, or these safeg&ar^s shall be removed so tbat there shall: be freedom to vote without the ICg^lright, freedom to vote as many timefc as oite who votes the right ticket chooses, fend freedom to stuff ballot boxes. Of course no one will, frankly say that h$,4£4n favor of the last m?tbo0 of voting, but i|is a notorious fact that where this kind of votinghas beenlthe most Mafti*e$ in tbe pastf tbere -is the 'lbutMuCoalli for "freedom of elections." The honest men in both parties desire to have honest elections, but many of tbe leaders in both parties desire "honest election!" or "free elections" according as their own porsonal or party interests will be best advanced thereby^ And the iaaijB is whether there shall be such supervision of tbe ballot boxes tbat neither party shall be able to' cheat, and so there be "honest elections," or whether this supervision shall be taken away and cheating made easy, and so there be "free elections." I

BY reference to the local columns it will be seen that our city is visited by a scourge which has assumed alarming proportions, and which, if strong treasures are not immediately* i-Aaken. will bring desolation into many a housebold. That the city is in a ijv^rjp |oor sanitary condition at the present time no one can deny, and that there is no excuse for it no one will deny. If the proper steps had been taken at the right time the city would to-day h^ye been in a perfectly healthy corujli^n but things have been allowed (ifr take natural course, and tbe inevitable result bas followed in due time. The situation which this city occupies warrants tbe assertion tbat it ought to be ss healthy as any in the country. Its elevation above, and dose proximity to, tbe river, admits'of a thorough system pf drainage at a small cost, comparatively speaking. Nearly all the other parts of the city haVe been drained with the evception of the afflicted district.

Up to last night the board of health labored under a great mistake as to their powers to make and enforoe sanitary regulations in snoh cases as the present, which, however, may also be said of each member of the council who was present but now tbat the duties and powers of each one is understood, it is to be hoped a marked improvement will soon be apparent. It is true the work is beginning at rather a late day locking tbe door after the horse is stolen—but it msy yet do some good. The ordinances are all good and entirely cover the ground—the dixies or each officer are clearly defined—and no excuse can now be offered for a failure to enforce them. Slaughter houses have been used within the city limits in fla grant violation of Mi& ordinance which regulates their operation. Nuisances bsve been maintained nnder the eyes of tbe police. Filth has been allowed to accumulate in the cattle pens and in numberless other places. We will now see how promptly these things will be stoppsd. Tbe law will be strictly en forced against all persons who violate it without respect to persons, snd the offioers will have tbe thanks of a suffering community.

IN his speech aft Portland, opening the Maine canvass, Saoretarjr 8bsrman traced tbe causes of the panic of 1873 to the reckless contraction of debts, improvidence, extravagance, wasteful investments and overproduction. This is •absttnttslly tbe ground taken by Tbe Mail long ago, and we are glad to see tbat so eminent a financier ss Mr. Sherman hss shown himself to be In accord With It*

is the

He reaches out bis arms and bis suckers, and when once he entangles a victim, escape is impossible. He lives on the ignorance and', indolence of his fellowmen, and his success is usually proportioned to his shrewdness. Three-fourths ofthe cases tried in tbe civil courtsjare based on injustice, andjthe lawyers engaged in tbem know tbe fact. The best of tbem will advise a client to bring a suit, although he may be satisfied that there is no equity in ft. A compromise that might be satisfactory to both sides is never advised. 3 c?TO

This is a falsehood so glaring that it needs no comment to expose it. It will only be credited by those who have never employed an attorney, or by the few unfortunates who bave fallen into (be hands of dishonest shysters. That the "best" of lawyers will advise a client to bring a suit in which there is no equity, is as bald a lie as was ever uttered. On tbe contrary, there is not a respectable lawyer at any bar in the country who does not repeatedly refuse to bring suits which be perceives to be unjust, and not unfrequently they are brought by some shyster who is solicitous only of obtaining a fee, no matter by what method. The legal profession has been maligned and slandered to a greater extent perhaps than any other, and it is only jost to say (and the expari ence of all honest men will bear out tbe assertion) that there is quite as much honor, honesty and integrity among lawyers as there is among men engaged in any other business pursuits.

Again he says "Here a judge is not required to possess more than a smattering of the rudiments of the law, and a lawyer, so called, can set along without knowing any law at all. While America bas produced some very learned and profound jurists and many able advocates, tbe great mass of the legal profession is a compound of ignorance, impudence and venality. It requires less brains and a smaller modicum of education to gain admittance to the bar in tbis country than to any other of the learned professions, except, perhaps, that of preaching, which, however, is hardly a learned profession with us."

If this flippant coxcomb should undertake to fit himself for tbe arduous duties of a judge, or even for the successful praotke oX .the"! law, he would soon find that it is tone thing to criticise tbe performances of others and quite another to do the thing criticised. Silly twaddle like this is beneath the dignity of a journal like the Globe-Democrat, and would 'not deserve even a brief comment but for the respectability of tbe channel through wbicb it is given to the world*

PULL STEADY

This is pre-eminently $u age of sensations. Fortunes are sometimes made, and quite frequently lost, with am&zing rapidity. Peopi$ resort to all.kinds: of tricks and devices in ihe iio|»e of gainng riehes by one,ingenious stroke. "Vet is seldom thafcthase^sttempts prove successful. Even ihJtti&rt)4£eiji.0f /those who gain fortdbe& 'sua'Aenly,

it is more

often the result of: sheef accident than of shrewd planning. There are men w^io dash and splurge and imagine tbey are doing wonderful things, but it all ends in fuss and feathers. Nothing solid and permanent is gained. The fact is, there is nothing worthy accomplished in this life that is not the outcome of persistent, patient working. It is the steady pulling that oounts. Every great master of any art has given years of hard study and faithful training to his task before he bas achieved bis power. To the man or woman who pulls steady and true, success is bound to come sooner or later. "One of the points of success is knowing how long a time it' takes to succeed," says Paley. People get anxious and restless because tbey imsgine they are not progressing as fast as others then tbey get discouraged and give up—try something else. This is the downward road. It is a dangerous one. The 'history of tbe best success is tbat of patient, persistent application to a single line of work. In every- town and city many of the solid, sabstantial citizens are men who began life with nothing and saved the basis of their subsequent fortunes out of tbe scantiest wages. Year after year found thsm doing tbe ssme work, but gradually mounting a little and a little higher, From an offioe boy they became a clerk, from a olerk, tbe head of a department, by and by, a junior partner and in due, time, tbe head of the establishment. The steady pull will oount every time, and it will bring sncoess sooner or later, and no doubt of it.

WHEN important public interests are st stake, arbitrary power, however much we may dislike It, must be lodged? somewhere, and for the simple reason that individual self-interest, or selfishness, often keeps men from acting In harmony with public welfare. Poor Memphis seems, from all acoonnts, to be suffering from a failure to use this arbitrary power. Its board of health set at work vigorously to cleanse the dty last winter, and did good work, but had not the power to compel tbe clean** ing of privy vaults and cess pools and hence individual owners of property preferred to risk a return of the soonrge rather than be st t»S expense of doing this work. TETterrible harvest of their selfishness and folly hss begun, snd what tbe end will be, ere frosts ooms, it is Impossible to tell. It Is a humiliating confession to make, and yet tenth compels it, that public interests, even health and life, are not sate 11 left in the bands of individuals, this Is one point in which arbitrary forms of government have tbe advantage over a democracy.

But s\*an a democratic government has power, and ought to hsve tbe will to suppress turarces of public danger which individual fear of loss, or desire of gain, upon opening, or refuses to remove. In msay matters of this sort the question is simply whether on* man, or a few men, shall fee allowed to interfere with the most saored rights of a whole community, or be compelled to ch what common humanity and decency ought to prompt them to do instantly. At the worst it is tbe rights of tbe community against tbe rights of individuals, and right of health, lire, and the pursuit of business, against the right to save or make a few dollors.

If the above argument applies to sources of yellow fever, does it not apply also to sources of immorality and vioe There is, it must be confessed, this dMfcrsnos, that people do not volun tarily breathe in the oontagion of physical disesse, but all who livo in the infected regions must incur tbe danger whether they will or not while, no matter how thick may be saloons and brothels, no one is compelled to-enter tbem. This makes a difference in reference to the responsibility of thoee who are injured, but no difference in refer ence to those who opeu or maintain tbe sources of moral corruption. They have no right to maintain places where the foolish, the weak, or the vicious can barm themselves and the community. The exercise of a little more arbitrary power on tbe part of tbe oommunity against those who insist upon breeding moral poison and oontagion would not be out of place evea under our democratic form of government.,

THEcabinetmakersof Chicago are on a strike for tbe eight hour rule. Of course they will fail, for such a system would be detrimental alike to the employers and to the working men themselves.

LETTER FROM REV. S. S. MARTYN.

NKW HAVHN, CT., July 22,1879 I

To The Mail: The question is, which is the farther, thirty-seven hours- or nine hundred miles from Terra Haate Sitting here in tbis beautiful City of Elms and thinking of the beautiful Prairie City of the Wabash, with all the cities, towns, rivers, mountains and plains between, and no telephone to speak tbe whisper of love to dearonesso faraway, then I think the nine hundred miles have it But when I thibSshow one steps aboard the Yandalla eastern bound express st half-pasfc'one at night, and is whirled past sleeping villages and waking towns and across the Alleghanies, nntil he drinks in the salt breezes of the harbor of New York, and he crosses the ferry from Jersey City, and sets foot upon the pavements of tbe metropolis, then I think tbe thirty-seven hours have it. We travel so muoh by the modern method that we forget the days of the lumber-iog stage coach. In one of the beautiful towns that nestle among the- bills of New England, not far from- here, Isaw a day or two since one of these relics of the past, harnessed to a double team and waiting for the arrival of tbe train, to carry passengers ten miles across tbe bills. And to tbink that tbis was mainly the tr*wi fifty odd years ago! gum

Speaking of railroads, I do not find any better managed or smoother running road than the "Vandalla. And as to conductors afld otheir emjtfoyes oorthe different road*,, $ think the good old "Van." will have fe take the. palm for politeness and obliging ways. Perhaps this is because 1 knew some of them personally and woulid, thus have a natural feeling of friendship for them and perhaps it is partly because they catch ivmething of the- genial spirit of President McKeen,. popolar I find, east as well as west, among.railroad men. It used to be thought (bat the eastern roads were tbe best equipped, but exoepting perhaps the New Yolk and New Haven road, claimed, to- be the beet in New England, I thick, there Is no road where tbe rOsd bed is smoother than on the Vsndalia. And when we consider that it is laid On the soft soil of the prairies, while the eastern roads haul the hard, oftentimes gravel and rocky soil tbat marks thi| region, tbe care and energy displayed ln onr home road are all tbe more masked. is another instance showing hoWthe Interior by its enterprise i* legitimately disputing with the Kast iff old time busineto supremacy. .. Tbis I fear will be called a gleaming lettfef. 'Well, this ia steaming weather! Tbermometer last week, 100° in the shade en Wednesday!

And now we round old Castle Garden, where Jenny Lind first gave her famous concerts in tbis country, and where, when boys, we used to go and look through tbe port-holes of the old fort, out upon the harbor and think it wstr the most wonderful sight in the world. Ah, poetry, tby name is childhood I Yet I dont know about tbat either, as we sail across the harbor, with its waters shimmering in the sunlight, its sail boats, its yachts, its puffing tags towing some ocean steamer across to dry dock for repaint Mo masted vessel* riding at harbor, with their pennons of all nations kissing tbe heavens, tbe picturesque beauty of Fort Lafayette of war time, now dismantled, tbe juttfsg inlets of .Lower Kreoklyn to the left and tbe wild* Ibeauty of Staten Island to the right here, too. Is poetry well fitted to set aglow all tbe fancies of tbe jaded west enter who-aits and drinks in theinspira tien' of tbe scene. Perhaps another reason also why it was all so welcome tome was-tbat I was home againt amid surroundings- where my boyhood^ days were spent. And after all, "there is no place like home."

It seems as if I had heard it before! Well, it's- just as true if I bsve. But now we reach the new celebrated iron pierof Coney Island, and just beyond, a half mile away, are Brighton Beach and' Hotel,, with Manhattan Beach and hotel in the distance still beyond. Fifty thousand people are strolling along the beaches, or bathing in the surf, or thronging the corridors of the* hotels, whHe the rich notes of Gilmore's band die in- sweet refrain across the waters away. Oan there be any more lovely scene Little Freddie and his cousins came teasing to take off their shoes and wade into tbe water, with the hundreds of other children and granting their request, we sit upon the sand and laugh -at tbem- a» they go splashing and'shouting into old ocean. It plays with them' now, but if they were once out in its depths'stoetching so far before us! Bfet the waves will oome, my boys, they will come, all too soon, tbe angry tossing billows out'upon life's remorseless depths, while- now they are flowing so quietly with yout in childhood's sunny botirs and laving with friendly touch your young, feet. Some of us already know wh&tit i» to be tossed by them, and others-havesunk overwhelmed. May- heaven give yon strength to surmount them, .until at last tbe harbor of all safety is reached.

U81NB88 DEPRESSION IN ENGLAND, In Burnley, England, 5,795 looms are idle out of SS.OOty and 307,870 spindles out of 900,600. In Blackburn district. 11,300 looms are idle outof 52,000, and 84,000 spindles are working on short time and 48,009 arestopped. In Chorley district, 1,600 loomsowned by two firms are working on sbort time. Nearly twenty other-firms* are running partcf their machinery on sbort time, and several bave stopped. In the Bury district, both the woolen and cotton trades are depressed*, tbe average time of working in the woolen manufactories being only four days out of the- week and 406,000 splndlesf aod3,720 looms are working on sbort time. In Stockport the pros pect, especially in the weaving department, is said to be-almost hopeless. It is computed that-now only 500,000 spindles and 800'looma- are working against 1,195,000 spindles and 7,900 looms five years ago. In Ro oh dale, five mills are working full •time and 500 houses there are tenantless. The Manchester Gnar dian gives-statistics to show tbst tbe condition of trado-iu Bnsendale district, where tbe inschinevy of ibe factories is adapted for Indisn.ootton, is even worse. Out of 100 mill* only six, and tbese comparatively indgnileant, are working full time, thirty-five have atop ped and tbe remainder are running on an average of three and a fourth days per week.
