•EERRE HAUTE, MAY 10, 1884

ANITA DICKINSON declares that she has not left the stage permanently bat will return to it when she has made enough money lecturing to enable her to do so. How like a woman! Ev6n when defeated she will not acknowledge it and is so perverse she is determined to do w^at everybody says she cannot do and is equally bound not to do what every one considers her particularly well qualified to do successfully.

TJBMB Chicago Inter Ocean offers a copy of Ella Wheeler's poems to the paragraphist who will not mention this lady's marriage. However great the sacrifice we feel compelled to state that the fair poetess, at the age of thirty-two has married a wealthy jeweler of Connecticut. Her "Poems of Passion" did it. He has a New York residence, a private yacbt, etc., and Miss Wheeler will find matrimony much more profitable t,bao writing poetry.

THEREIS quite a "kick" among ttie weekly papers because they are not to have reserved seats at the National convention and they are disposed to lay the blame on John C. New. He declares, through tho columns of the Indianapolis Journal, that if all the weekly papers were represented there would not be a single seat left for the delegates, but as the editor considers himself of more importance than a delegate, he is not Inclined to accept the apology.

ii THE Cincinnati burker, Allen lngalls, 4 was no exception to the rest of the mur-:-'S derers. Although he did not go to heaven by the scaffold route he went all tho same. In a letter written to his wronged and disgraced wife just before he suicided be said. "I want to meet you in heaven where we shall enjoy an eternal happy day forever and ever." The average murderer may have a beautiful and sublime faith, but it looks very much like an unlimited supply of gall.

TUB wood cut business has become an epidemic and many papers are disfigured by cheap cuts which will answer for anything you choose to imagine. The I picture of Queen Victoria appears by the side of the latest murderer exeouted.

Preachers, base ball players and noted thieves are badly "mixed." The ''comio" pictures are sad enough to make one shod tears and the "historical views" resemble a blotting pad. A Bureau has been organized to circulate these wretched cuts and it is devoutly to be hoped ^somebody will look it up and lose the ,key-

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, in an editorial, pay* a fine compliment to our -Congressman John E. Lamb. Referring to his recent speech against importIng Chinese labor it says: "He was listened to with an attention which Is given to few members. He was eloquent and logical, and at once established himself as one of the ablest debaters in the House. Indiana and the country are likely to hear more of Mr. Lamb." Mr. Lamb is attracting much attention at the Capitol, andTerre Haute "points with pride" to him. He tai an eloquent, forcible speaker and may, if he chooses, become one of the famous rata of the country.

THK woman suffragists having polnted with pride to the fact that the editor of the St. Louis Chronicle is a lady, the Post-Dispatch hastens to say, "We wish It to be understood that that Miss Bagby is in no sense a sympathiser with the fe-male-suffrage movement. She believes that the household is woman's sphere, I that the heatffchstone is woman's throne, 4 and that the love of some good, noble man is woman's crown. We deeply regret that this bright, promising young journalist's name should have been in any way dragged before the Convention at all." It Is a pity that this shrinking young woman should have been Inferred to. It gives her a prominence she never could have obtained in any other manner, and since she is so thoroughly domestic in her tastea she would better hunt up a husband and retire from the .newspaper business as soon as possible.

Tsl sinking of the steamer State of ^Florida in mid-ocean, by which 1S5 souls were carried down to a watery grave, la one of these terrible calamities which, tor the time being, almost made one feel fearful of setting foot In an ocean veaael. The accident was oaused by ooliision with a bark—as If the ocean were not wide enough for two ships to pasa without jostling one another 1 In every accident of this kind It la pathetic to •k to read of the various errands upo* which the Inst passengers were going.

"r

Some are bound on mere pleasure excursion, a European tour more or less extended. Some are retired merchants seeking to enjoy with tbeir families the fruits of years of labor. Others are young men ia the fall tide of business, trying to buy goods or negotiate some commercial enterprise white there to t«ry apt to be at toast one bridal party, whose anticipated long tease of life and love to thus ended without a moment's warning In watery grave. The pitiful story Is repeated year after year, and mustn'n -t of atcmritj continue to be ao long as human nature remains as it to.

COUBTESY.

It was Henry Clay who said that "the courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest to the grateful and appreciative heart. It is the picayune compliments which are the most appreciated."

Clay understood human nature perhaps as well as any man of his or of any time, a fact that is proved by the remarkable skill and success with which he managed his fellows. In contrasting his life and work with those of Webster, Mr. Blaine says that while Websteafs name is perpetuated by his masterly discussion of great constitutional questions be did not connect himself with a single historic measure, while Clay's memory is lastingly Identified with issues that are still vital and powerful, though bis speeches are unread. In other words, Mr. Clay knew the secret of winning and holding friends of making himself an active factor in all the important movements of his time. "Owing to that spirit of self-reliance and self-assertion," says Prof. Matthews "and that contempt for the forms and conventionalities of life, which our youngg men are trained to cherish, they are too apt to despise those delicate attentions, those nameless and exquisite tendernesses of thought &nd manner, (bat mark the true gentleman." Few but will lealize the truth and significance of these words. There is a kind of spirit of irreverence and bravado prevalent, particularly among our boys and girls, that is far from pleasant to contemplate. Matthew Arnold observed it in his recent visit to this country and deplored it, especially with reference to parents and children. And there can be no doubt that the fine reverence and filial regard which was shown by children towards their parents a generation or two ago, does not exist now, at least not in the degree that It once did. To what extent parents themselves are responsible for the change we shall not attempt to show now.

There is an idea very prevalent that combativeness is the principal factor of success in lite that the mau who can strike the hardest, figuratively speaking, is the one who will best "fight his way through," as the saying goes. If by this is meant merely a spirit of proper self-reliance it is well enough. But it is certain, and has been demonstrated time and time again, that agreeable manners and a pleasant disposition constitute a far better equipment for the battle of life than the most pugnacious temperament. History is replete with examples of the irresistible power of a gracious and kindly manner. The Duke of Marlborough was one of the greatest of soldiers, but it is said of him that he was such a master of courtesy that to be denied a favor by him was more pleasing than to receive one from, another man. It was his charming manners more than anything else that won him fame and riohes. There have been very ugly men who have been the favorites of women solely on account of their gallantry and pleasing ways.

Who does not know bow much a bright, cheerful disposition has to de with the success of a physician He might as well lay down his saddle-bags at once as to visit his patients with a long face or grim looks. He may and often dods feel worse than his patient, but his own suffering is skillfully concealed, and he becomes a veritable ray of sunshine the moment he crosses the door of the sick room. The influence of his hopeful manner is often more potent than the prescriptions he carries. If kind and gentle manners are of less vital importance in some callings than they are in medicine, it is certain that there is no vocation in which they will not prove wonderfully profitable. But it is not from the sordid stand-point of mere pecuniary advantage that the matter should be considered. There are higher considerations than this for the cultivation of courtesy and politeness. It is a pleasure to come in contact with such persons, to have anything to do with them. They make one feel that life ia worth living. They are welcome everywhere, and all doors fly open to welcome them, because they bring good cheer and aunahine with them.

But such manners are not to be put on and off like a garment. They are not a hollow hypocrisy, an empty grimacing, empty of all soul and apirit. "A man may smile and smile and be a villain." It haa4 been often said, but it cannot be said too often, that real and true raliteneea springs from a soul that is full of genuine sympathy and love for its fellows. The civility which la mere pretense is a poor thing, scarcely better than honest borishness. But when the heart feels what the lips utter and the beaming countenance speaks, this kind of courtesy to worth Its weight in gold.

Tn result of the vote In the House on Tuesday by which the enacting dans* of the Morrison tarriff bill was stricken out oy a vote of 151 to 156, was something of a surprise. White it was expected that the vote would be dose, the general prediction was that the motion would fail. The disappointment ol the free-trade Democrats at this result to wry great. The Morrison hill has been the one feature of the ssastoa, the one measure in which the hope of Democratic success In the national contest was cantered. Never was more earnest and vigorous work dona for any Mil. It has been the constant theme of goarip from the day it was first reported to the Roma. It became tbe policy of the party and its defeat by the aid of Democratic votes simply shows that the party has not yet been abie to agree upon any measure of tariff reduction and probably will not be daring th* present tension.

TERKE HAUTE SATUKDAY EVENING MATT,

GJSN. GRANT, as becomes the sensible, level-headed man he is, makes hopeful predictions as to the country's future growth and prosperity. He thinks the population at the end of the present century will be well up to the one hundred millions, and that New York will be the financial center of the world. The great west will undergo a marvelous transformation, while the southern states will have developed their cotton and iron manufactures to such an extent as to lead all other sections oi the country in these interests. His suggestions with reference to the investiture of foreigners with the light of dtiaenship in this country are well worthy oi attention. As has been truthfully Mid, the manner in which the right of franchise is conferred upon foreigners ia such as to give them the impression that the matter is of no consequence, and that Americans themselves do not value highly the right to vote. The ceremony should be made solemn and impressive, so as to give the newly-made citizen an idea of the great importance of the right oonferred on him. And more than this, the law should be changed which permits foreigners to acquire the franchise immediately upon setting foot on our shores and declaring their intention of becoming citizens. They should be required to live here at least five years before having the right to vote, in order that they might have time and opportunity to gain an acquaintance with our system of government and some just and intelligent ideas upon the subject of citizenship. If there is any one political danger which more than another threatens this nation it is the undervaluing of the suffrage. When in a popular government a large portion of the people com^ to the conclusion that it does not muoh matter how they vote or whether they vote at all, the breakers are not far ahead.

THK rejection of the Morrison bill by the House would seem to knock one Indiana presidential aspirant out of the ring at least. When Mr. Carllse was Chosen for Speaker, tlie fact WBS regarded as a distinct victory for that element of his party of which Mr. McDonald was the chief exponent. The Morrison bill represented the sentiments of this branch of the Democratic party and now that it is has been defeated the fact must be regarded as a severe, if not fatal blow to Mr. McDonald's prospects. On the other hand it strengthens the prospects of the old tieket. It is Mr. Tilden's wing of the party that has succeeded and the same elements which defeated the tariff bill can bring about his nomination if they wish to do so.

Looking to the Republican side the chances for Indiana seem to be very fair. Blaine, Arthur and Edmunds are all eastern men and it is significant that the party has never selected an Easferqjnan to head its ticket. Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, all came from the West. It is likely to be so again. A combination favorably spoken of influential Eastern journals is that of Harrison and Hawley. Both are men of ability, force and experience and their records are without blot or stain. They would satisfy the independent, the reform, the stalwart and every other element of the party, and they would satisfy the business interests of the country, because their names woufd be guaranty of a safe, clean, conservative administration. Both have a splendid military record and against neither of them could a single word of detraction be honestly uttered. It would be a strong ticket and one that would arouse enthusiasm of the best kind.

SENATOR PLUMB, of Kansas, has Introduced a bill in the Senate which provides that aliens who have not disdosed thdr intention to become citizens shall not acquire title to real estate in any of the Territories and that no foreign corporation of which more than ten per cent, of the stock to held by aliens, shall acquire title to any land in the Territories, and that no corporation native or foreign, except railroads, ahall acquire more that 5,000 acres of land. This bill to an effort to prevent the gobbling np of the public laiidabyfor. eign capitalists and to to be commendedSome well-guarded law on this important subject ought to be passed before the present session adjourns. The public domain is being rapidly diminished by a process that will go on still more rapidly with thdr constantly argumen ting value, and it to very evident that these valuable landa ahould be kept by the government for bona fide settlement by our own dticans.

AN Ohio woman dropped dead while buttoning her husband's shirt collar. Now if there had been no button on the shirt we could understand why the poor woman dropped dead.
