TERRB HAUTE, MAY 8,1880

So far Tilden has 129 delegates to the Cincinnati convention, Hancock 73, and English 2. It looks as if the old m« was going to win. y^

THE present outlook is for another bountiful harvest throaghoat the country. And yet the Greenbackera are not satisfied. Perhaps the trouble is that there are not offices enough.

THE English government gets word from Iadia that the cost of the Afghan war will probably exceed the estimates heretofore made by about 120,000,000. But what's the odds? The Disraeli ministry is out.

JSix thousand people at least will remember Czar Alexander's sixty-second birthday, for this number he released from imprisonment on that occasion The Czar considerably discounted "Uncle Jimmy."

THERE are many who believe that Hayes will be the successful dark horse He has given the country one good administration, and could be safely counted on for another. It would not be hard to get a worse man.

DURING April 46,274 foreign emigrants landed in New York, the largest num ber ever received in a single month be fore. The emigration commissioners estimate that the total immigration for this year will reach 350,000.

THE result of the Republican State conventions held on Wednesday and Thursday, was a general split up among the various candidates, Grant and Blaine of course leading the rest. The delegates for the most part go uninstructed.

GBN. BEN. HARBISON, of this state, spoken of ss a possible dark horse for the presidency in case a dark horse is found to be neoessary, He is more likely, however, to receive the nom nation fer the second place on the tloket.

ILLINOIS is divided between Grant and Blaine, and the contest in that State Is growing fierce. At present the Blaine men seem to be ahead, but much depends on Cook county, in which Chicago is situated, and which has not selected delegates yet. The State convention meets on the 10th of May.

THE anti-third term convention at St. Lauls on Thursday was a respectable affair, being attended by many representative men from all parts of the country. A committee of 100 was appointed to call another convention in case the nomination made at Chicago should not be deemed satisfactory.

DENNIS KEARNEY has gone (to the work bouse) and now the people of 8«n Franolsoosay that Mayor Kalloch "must go" too. They propose to impeach him for corrupt couduot as mayor of the city and relieve the oity from the dlsgraco brought upon it by his administration. Thoy can't do this bit of work too soon.

HON. JOHN

NEW yesterday morn

ing purchased the Indianapolis Journal, at the price of F85,000. The Journal is one of the best newspaper properties in the State and produces a very satisfactory income. Mr. New's son Harry is associated in the purchase, and will be the oity editor. The Journal will be the New's paper.

THE Importance of selecting honest men to administer upon the estates of deceased persons has often been forcibly illustrated. A recent case is furnished in New York, where a man died in 1869, leaving an estate valued at 9125,000. Hia will appointed two men, Epstein and May, as executors and trustees for his heirs. Both executors qualified, but Epttrin managed the estate, and it is now round that he used up the entire estate in speculations, and is himself bankrupt. The heirs are now trying to hold May for the money due tbem.

THB official statements of the foreign commerce of the country show a great change from that of a year or two ago. Then the excess of our exports over imports was very heavy, but it has been steadily declining. For instance, the excess of exports over imports for the month of March was only $6,447,352, against $24,193,134 for March, 1879, and for the year ending March Si, the excess was $191,463,148, against *283,971,594 for the year previous. The meaning of these Agnres ia not that we are sending less merchandise abroad, but that we are buying more of foreign nations. This is the natural consequence of the itu proved condition of business which has taken place, and is but another evideuce of the general prosperity of the country.

IT is believed by some that Mr. Orth*s explanation of the Venezuela claims business, iu Congress, on last Tuesday, means tba^jts will be a candidate tor the Kubernational nomination. If so, and bis explanation be deemed by hia party satis factory, there may be a wy Wr •how for him, as the party to at present much divided in opinion as to the most available candidate. Straight Is the "booming" mas, but Ooburn and Shackleford have many Mends and supporters, and It may be ftmnd adrtaable to units on some new man for the sake

Mjn

of harmony. The Venezuelan business aside, Mr. Orth is unquestionably a strong man, and would make abetter canvass than either of the others. It is doubtful, however, if he can clear his skirts sufficiently of the charges made against him to warrant his selection standard bearer in snob a contest as the coming one will certainly be.

THE Indianapolis News is not Grant indeed, it is as little for him the Journal is forStreight. The News believes that if Grant should be elected for a third term our political system would tumble in ruins. It is barely possible that the News is unduly agitated over the prospect. Similar predictions have been made before which have not been Justified by the result.

COL. THOMAS A. SCOTT has resigned hia position as president of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, on account of failing health. He has done an in credible amount of work during the past twelve years, and finds bis vast powers of endurance at last failing. He leaves men who have served under him that are well qualified to carry on the great railroad system which he estab lisbed _________

IN England public men wear longer than they do in this country. Gladstone and Beaconsfield, the intellectual and political giants of Great Britain, are both upwards of seventy, while Lord Selborne, or as he is better known in America, Sir Roundell Palmer, who fills the office of Lord High Chancellor in the new cablntet, is in his sixty-ninth year, and Earl Granville, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, is sixty-six and has been in politioal life for forty-four years. There are, however, some younger men in the cabinet, ranging from forty to fifty years old. _________ .A

SUMMER comes on apace. A word to the drinkers of loe water. Its habitual use, says a medical writer, produces a flabbiness in the region of the stomach which impedes digestion and causes the food to lie heavy on that organ. It chills the stomach, suspends the flow of gastric juices and weakens its powers generally. The more iced drinks you consume, the more you want, for they only feed the inflammation which they first produced, The thing to do ia to begin the season right and not become a slave to the habit of gulping down iced drinks at all hours of the day and night.

THE fifteen great American inventions of world wide adoption are: 1. The cotton gin. 2. The planing machine. 3. The grass mower and reaper. 4. The rotary printing press. 5. Navigation by steam. 6. The hot air engine. 7. The sewing machine. 8. The India rubber industry. 9. The machine manufacture of horseshoes. 10. The saud blast for carving. 11. The guage lathe. 12. The grain elevator. 13. Artificial ice making on a large scale. 14. The electrlo magnet and its practical application. 15. The composing machine for printers. A sixteenth must be added—the telephone. ________

IF all the dishonest people would work as hard and exercise as much ingenuity to get money by rendering something of value for it as they do to come by it dishonestly, it would be muoh better for all parties ooncerned. As it is there seems to be no end to the curious devices employed for swindling honest people of their money or their property. One of the latest of these methods is for certain parties to apply to houses for ohairs to be seated, promising to return them after the proper repairs have been made. The ohairs are then shipped East and disposed of to parties who mend and sell them as second hand furniture. This would appear to be rather a small business, but in a large city it can be worked up to very considerable dimensions.

THE evil of intemperance seldom has sadder Illustration than In the shooting of Dr. John R. Goodwin, of Brookville, Ind., by his brother Col. R. W. Goodwin. The latter Is a lawyer by profession but has ruined himself by dissipation and had been in the Insane hospital for several months for treatment. The immediate cause of the murder is said to have been his belief that his brother was instrumental in procuriug him to be sent to the asylum at which he was much incensed. Dr. Goodwin was a banker and stood high in the community as an excellent man and citizen. He is brother of Rev. T. A. Goodwin, of Indianapolis, author of a book entitled 'The Mode of Man's Immortality," and an earnest worker in the cause of .tepperance, ___________

AT thd rate foreign immigrants are now pooling into this country, it might be thought there is danger of America becoming over-populated ataome time In the near future. There is, however, no probability of such a thing, at least for many years, because of the vast regions of land that are yet uncultivated. writer in the Western Magazine says that if a man should be set down in the heart of one of the great Territories, say Montana, and be compelled to walk back to the States, he would get some idea of the extent of soil in our country which yet awaits the settler and the plow, and would realise that the best thing to do at present is to devise ways and mparts tor tattling our immense western territories. This is a strong way of potting It, but, aa a matter of the settlement of the country Is progressing quite rapidly enough, and there need be no uneasiness lest the regions lying between the Mississippi and the Pacific will remain "bowling wildernesses." The railroads have broken through, and already the tide of

population is sweeping on by their side. There is no danger bat there will be "settlers and plows" wherever there Is land worth the plowing. Yet it is gratifying to reflect that there is still room enough for all who want to come, and will be for along while.

Is the face of Gen. Grant's apparent rapid progress towards the presidential nomination, Gen. Boynton sends word from Washington that the third term movement has lost more ground there during the past week than at any time since the canvass opened. He states that there is a general feeling, even among those who are friendly to Grant, that his nomination would cause a split in the party and bring a third man into the field. Such being the outlook, it is the opinion of some that when the Chicago convention meets snd the views of the leading men of the party are compared, the nomination of Grant will ie seen to be so impolitic that it will not be seriously considered. But opinions differ widely. Senator Conkling, for instance, emphatically declares that Grant will be nominated and elected by a great majority, notwithstanding the change of mind which has taken place in some quarters. In the midst of this diversity of opinions the safest way will be to wisit and see what the convention will do.

$ POOR FRITZ. Pittsburg Special to Chicago Tribune. Joseph K. Emmet, the well known actor, who failed to appear at the Opera House this week on account of drunkenness, being refused liquor at the Monongahela House to-day, raised a disturbance, and was taken in charge by two policemen, who took him to the West Pennsylvania Hospital, where he now is. His friends have done all they could to sober him up, and think his confinement in the hospital will be beneficial to him. Manager Ellsler says he will lose $7,GOO by Emmet's failure to fill his engagement. Mrs. Emmet Is here, doing what she can to get ber husband out of his troubles.
