JTOTE8 AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN.
Terra Haute preachers seem to be as greatly appreciated away from bome for originality and liberality in their -views as they are at bome. Within tbe past two years two of onr most noted divines have been called to under fields ol work, Rev. C. R. Henderson going to Detroit and Rev. Thos. Perry to Chicago. The Rev. H. O. Breeden, of the Christian church, has received a call from an influental church at Grand Rapids, Michigan. He preaches there to-morrow and it is said he thinks aenoasly of accepting the call. Mr. Breeden is one of the most liberal ministers in the Terre Haute polplts at present, and has tbe courage to stand out for his views, whether they accord with those of his fellow ministers or sot. He is a deep thinker and an energetic worker, as shown in tbe progrees •of tbe Christian cbarch under his charge.
When Terre Haute loses him—if she does—she loses one of the coming men In bis denomination.
The Democrats finally forced the Fourth ward nomination on Ous Conzman last Saturday night, allowed him to be defeated on Tuesday, and in that manner have put out of the way one of their strongest candidates for the city treasurship nomination next spring. That's along way ahead, but not so far distant but that the stigma of dofeat will hang to him.
A very prominent Democratic lawyer and politician stated positively last Tuesday morning that he intended to prosecute every person who made an effort to purchase votes on that day. Nothing lias been heard of any prosecutions thus far, and it must be that the gentleman made tbe circuit of the voting precincts after making his declaration, and changed his mind for certain reasons. Money has been used in elections, and always will be, whatever legislation may be taken in the matter, but there never was a time ia Terre Haute when it was use 2 as openly and shamelessly as last Tuesday. The only explanation of the result is, that too great a price was paid for votes and the money ran out before alx o'clock. Two dollars has heretofore been the market value of the votes of tbe nntrammeled, liberty loving who have votes to sell, and when this price was advanced to ten dollars, It created an awful hole in the treasury.
"'Isn't this "benefit" business about worked out here. Miss McEwan, the Davis family and Miss Fischer have had benefits, and certainly deserved them or the public would never have patronized them as they were patronised. Bat when military companies and churches talk of "benefit performances" it is about time for the public to protest.
The poor record made by onr base ball elub is a topic of general conversation, and while it is a consolation to know that the clubs thus far have been the strongest our club will have to meet, it Is a very slight consolation. The entire season ia yet before the club, and with men that oan win, Terre Haute will sustain a reputation of being one of the best base ball towns In the county, for Its •lie. v'
iiiiKstilf
What fools some men can make of themselves, and what publio occasions they usually choose to air their assinine proclivities. At the drous the other sight one of the couples in the reserved seat portion was a young man openly •scorting a woman who was old enough to be his mother, and who has long borne an unsavory reputation. He is a young man making a fair salary, and it la said he squanders It almost entirely on this woman who has not one quality of mind, form or feature to attract. It seems to be a case of blind infatuation, but why it should be Is a mystery beside which the fifteen puisle sink* into Insignificance,
Now that the election Is over and a change effected in the control of tbe city government, some of the councilmen will be like the man who didn't know it was loaded. If every man who •xpects a place on the diflbreat departments could be satisfied, we'd have enough policemen te maintain several full regimental organisations, and firemen would be so numerous that we could loan tbem out to all the towns ia this region. Against a councilman has been called way from *M» business, or has hourly intruders in his office, ia takan suddenly from his table at meal time, or awakened at the dead hour of night to listen to the claims of some anxious man "with influence" who wants to get on the force, he will come to the conclusion that he'd have been happier if t'other fellow had been elected. Tbe lot of a policeman may not be a happy one, but it to a pathway strew a with rosea compared with tbe tele of the men who make and unmake policemen Mad firemen.

The sudden change in the weather— and an agreable change most surely it is —is doubtless due to the display of Straw Hats in S. Loeb A Co's east show window at the corner of Fifth and Main streets.

The Land Law Changes.
Favorable Beporton the Bill Repealing the Pre-emption sad Tree Culture Acts.
Also on That Reducing: the Price of Public Land in Railroad Limit*.
Tbe House committee on public lands have agreed upon a Mil to repeal the pre-emption law and timber culture acts and amend the homestead laws. The amendment as determined upon provides Every homestead applicant shall make final proof by two credible witnesses of continuous residence upon and cultivation or permanent improvement of his claim for four consecutive years next succeeding his entry. Proofs shall be in duplicate, one set to be filed in the local land office and the other to be filed In the general land office. If within one year after the presentation of such proof no contest shall be filled and no notice given supported by affidavit made belore some officer authorized to administer the oath, charging and specifying fraud, either in tbe original entry or in proof, tbe secretary of the interior shall cause patents to be Issued on the entry but if a contest be filed or affidavits made, or it there be, from any cause, reasonable ground to suspect fraud in a case, the secretary shall direct the commissioner of the' general land office to institute an investigation thereof. The act of March 3, 1878, requiring the publication of intention to make final proofs six weeks in advance of the events is repealed.
Reprentative Cobb was directed to report the bell and authorized to ask Its passage, under suspension of the rules, at the earliest opportunity.
REDUCING THE PRICE.
The bill reducing the priee of government land in tbe railroad limit has been favorably reported by the House committee and will undoubtedly pass. It makes the price 1.25 per acre. The measure would greatly facilitate the settlement of the Northern Pacific country.
