A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

P. S. WESTFALL,

EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

TERRE HAUTE, JUNE 10, 1882

OSCAR WILDE has got to his "farewell lecture." Bat this may last along time

MR. ARTHUR has declared to a confi dentlal friend that he does not wish to be president for a second term. This infor mation is important if true.

MR. BLAINE declines to run for Con greeamari at large in Maine, giving as reason that his private affairs require attention, and that he himself needs rest. He will, however, take part in the campaign. ____________

THE Massachusetts Legislature has passed a bill to prevent the adulteration of articles of food and drink, which Authorizes the expenditure of |3.000 a year to enforce its provisions. Similar laws are needed in other States.

HON. R. B. F. PKIRCE was re-nomina-tod for Congress by the Republicans, at Crawfordsville, on Thursday, by a vote of 75% to 22%. The opposition consisted of 20 out of 25 votes from this county, and 2'i votes cast by Montgomery county delegates.

THE New York San predicts that the next Republican presidential ticket will be—Chester A. Arthur, of New York, for President, and Benjamin Harrison, of Indiaua, for Vice-president. That would not suit Indiana Republicans at all. The Sun has got the ticket turned up-side down.

BOURKK, a Gal way landlord, was shot dead, near Gort, Ireland, as was also a soldier who was escorting him. A rifle volley tired froui behind a wall did the work. Bourke was a barrister by profession and had amassed a fortune in India. The news of the murder is re ported to have created a profound sensation in the House of Commons. But what can the Houso of Commons do about it? This is the troublesome question. It is as much as a man's life is worth to be a landlord in Ireland.

TIM Ohio Republicans held their State -convention on Wednesday and declared wilh unanimity and enthusiasm in "favor of taxing the liquor traffic, and compelling the saloons to close on Sunday. If a taxing law cannot be enacted under the constitution in its present shape, 'then the constitution is to be «mended. The campaign promises to be one of interest and excitement, as the "Gambrinus" people are neither few nor quiet in the Buckeye'State. The result of the October election will be awaited with interest.

THK out-look for the iron strikers is not promising. On Wednesday a large mooting of mill owners was held at Pittsburg, at which representatives were present from all the leading cities west of the mountains. The object of the meeting was to consult upon the present troublo and to form a permanent protective association. It is stated that the spirit of all presont was to stand as a solid organization against granting the demands '.of the strikers whether the time should bo long or short. It does seem that a little more reason might be infused into the management on both sides with good results.

JI'ST after the sharp frosts in April reports como from various sections of the .state, to the effect that the wheat crop was badly damaged. It turns out that it was uot hurt at all. Indeed it is now said that the frost was an actual benefit by cheeking the too rank growth somewhat. The plant throughout the State Is now in a most promising condition and it is almost certain that the crop of 1882 will considerably exceed the great *cropof 1880, which was 47,000,000 bushels and the largest ever produced In Indiana. Some competent authorities predict that the yield of this year will reach 55,000,000 or 00,000,000 bushels, should the weather continue favorable ur.tll after harvest. __________

ACTOROINO to a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, Chattanooga, Tenn,, is becoming qnite a fruit growing centre. Speaking of the strawberry the writer says the yield rarely falls below fGlX) per acre, and reaches as high as |500. Peaches and grapes are also extensively grown. The product this year of all kluds of fruit is much larger than that of last year. The cultivation of apples,

IMWS, plnms, apricots, etc., is yet in its infancy, though the bearing trees promise well. Doubtless, the capabilities of the South as a fruit growing section have hardly been dreamed of j*et, and now that attention is being called to the snbjoot, a rapid devolopment of the industry may tie expected.

NOMK months ago a combination oj wealthy Cinclnnatians cornered the Chicago wheat market and made a handsome thing of it (f rom a gambler'sstandpoint). Incited, perhaps, by the example of these rich and fine gentlemen, J. A. West, of Cincinnati, aged forty, left his wife and floor children and went np to Chicago, hoping to corner at least a a small part of the wheat market for his own benefit. He managed to cover 3,000 bushels of gt*in for a while, and when he found that be conld not do it any longer, he invested a small sum in chloroform, with which be ended his life, hoping that the world would be good to his destitute family. The outcome of tlx* two ortortn was different, nvralitr was th me.

IRISH INDEPENDENCE. AH hope of finding the assassins Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke seems to have been given up by the authorities, and the murder will probably remain mystery.

of

What did it mean? A London cor respondent says ^t means that Ireland not asking and never has asked for the olive branch. What she demands is, the absolute freedom of the Irish people England on one side of the channel, and Ireland on the other two separate and distinct nations. And he is right. 1 his has always been the demand of the Irish people—or at least of all her great agita tors. It was the demand of the great O'Connrfl, as it was the demand of all Irish liberators who preceded him has been the dream of Irish patriots for centuries, and there has never been time when they were not willing to lay down their lives cheerfully for thecanse Never have men in any time or country gone to the block or the gibbet more heroically than have the would-be liberators of Ireland time and time again The little island has fairly reeked with the blood of slaughtered oitizens, and repeated insurrection has been punished in such a way as to strike terror to the hearts of the rebels. Yet the idea of in dependence is the one idea which the Irish people cannot get rid of. They cling to it with a kind of frenzy. And this explains the mystery of the murder

is

Gladstone offered the olive branch, but it was stamped beneath the feet of bloody assassins. Evidently it is not kindness that Ireland asks from the English government, but freedom. Whether the dream of national independence will ever fade from the minds of the Irish people, only the future can determine. Judging from the past—the failure of bloody rule for centuries to subjugate them—one would be inclined to say that the fight for independence is destined to go on for an unlimited period, or until Irish independence is won.

And it is possible that such a consummation is not so distant as is usually imagined. The correspondent above referred to notes a growing indifference in England upon the Irish queston, and says the English j.oople seem to be getting sick'and tired "f Ireland and her troubles, and woaid not mind getting rid of her if they could secretly do so. It is not surprising that they should foel so. On the contrary it is surprising rather that they should have insisted so long on carrying such a needless burden. It is like the case of a nurse persistently carrying a lusty urchin who' screams and kicks to be put down In order that he may walk alone. Why not let Ireland walk alone? Why insist on carrying her at such an outlay of blood and treasure Why cannot England be persuaded to give Ireland her independence?

THH President has spent a week closeted with the New York Stalwarts. It la conjectured that "the slate" was being fixed up for the approaching elections in that State. The machine is being oiled up for 1884. The chances are, however, that the machine is so badly damaged that it will never go through another season successfully. This is hard for the owners of the machine to realize, but they will have to come to it. In 1884 the Republican party will be bigger than the machine, or else the machine will be bigger than the party. In either event one or the other will go to the wall.

AN interesting social event in England was the recent return of the Duke and Duchess of Northfolk from the famous spring of Lourdes in France, whither they went seeking a cure by faith of their infaut son's blindness. Although there has been no sign of improvement so far, it Is said the couple have not given up hope. This is probably the first instance, at least in modern modern times, of the miraculous springs being patronized by the nobility of England.

TUK President's selection of members of the tariff commmisslon is not satisfactory to the Democrats or Republicans. It is considered doubtful whether the nominations will beconfirmed.
