TERRE HAUTE, JULY 12,1884

CHICAGO CONVENTION. The Democratic national convention at Chicago has been the chief topic of interest ^bia week. It met on Tuesday and proceeded somewhat leisurely with its work. The first day was taken op with the usual preliminary work, during which John Kelley and his Tammany followers tried to break the nnit rule but were signally defeated. The next day was occupied *rith the nominating speeches, no night sessions being held On Thursday the nominating speeches were finished snd contrary to expectation, the committee on resolutions which had been wrestling hard to get up a I platform, was unable to report and after a short session the convention adjourned until evening, at which time the platform was reported and adopted,

Gen. Ben. Butler presenting a minority report. 5 The platform is decidedly of the. dragnet species, carefully constructed to mean one thfng Or another aB circum stances nuj require. The tariff plank is a gingerly aflkir, squinting both in the direction of free trade and incidental protection to American labor. In his speech favoring the minority report,

Butler well said that it took the com mlttee thirty-six hours to frame the tariff plank and suggested that if it took those able gentlemen so long to find out what they wanted, how were the laboring men to find out what 1 It meant? He fuither stated that the difference between himself and the rest of the committee was that the latter thought there could be no such thing as protection to American labor by taxa- $ tion, while he believed there oould and should be such protectioq therefore the 4 committee had to spend all that time to say something that would mean one thing one way and another thing another way. He asked the delegates to read the tariff plank and see if they could find out exactly what it does jOMan. It remains to be seen whether a vparty with such a platform will be able get the workingmea's vote.

After the adoption of the platforhf a ballot was taken which resulted in 892 votes for Cleveland, 170 for Bayard, 78 •jfor Randal, 88 for Thurman, 66 for Mc­

Donald, 27 for Carlisle, and a few scattiering, of which Tilden and Hendricks I each received one.

On Friday morning a seoond ballot was had, resulting in Gov. Grover Cleveland, of New York receiving the nomination. As the ballot progressed, great many changes were made and :i the final result was announced: Cleveland, 688 Bayard, 81X Hendricks, 45X

Thurman, 4 Randall, 4 McDonald, 2. At the evening session Hon Thomas A. Hendricks was unanimously nominated for the Vice Presidency, and at 7.28 the convention adjourned.

THH colleges are fast becoming practical. A few years ago the bare suggestion of referring to political matters at •v-a college commencement would have fj thrown the entire faculty into hysterics, but now it is a common thing to do so.

In a recent address to the graduating s&'-dass of Amherst Gov. Robinson, of Massachusetts, took occasion to say that "there is a great deal more honor and highmiodedneas in public life than people give credit for 5" that we need college men in politics, and that if they thought poll ties should be better they ought to go in and make them better.

Gov. Robinson is himself an illustration of the doctrine he preaches. He is a pure and an able man, and has done the thing which he recommended the Amherst class to do. His advice is good. Nothing is more common than for men to cry out against the corruption that •exists in politics. They talk as if they were utterly powerless to help the matter. The trouble is they don't try to help it, and don't really care to help it. They are so occupied and absorbed with their private affairs that they let politics take care of Itself and it naturally falls into the hands of the men who make a trade of politics. These men form rings, get up combinations and use various devices for advancing their own selfish purposes. They bring politics into disrepute and justly for their purpose is to make out of politics and the methods iliey use to accomplish this purpose are vicious and corrupting. But, as Gov. Robinson suggests, if we think politics should be better what we must do is to go in and make them better. ,,.w

THI epidemic which is producing a wide mortality in the cities ef southern France, along the Mediteranean coast, is pronounced to be the real Asiatic cholera. The people are fleeing in terror from the piague-etricken cities, fearing the worst. Dr. Koehe expresses the opinion that the epidemic will reach Germany that from a center like Toulon it will go everywhere. There is of course danger thst the plague may reach Amerea. It has visited this country three times in 1833,1849 and 1866. These periods are exactly 17 years apart and according to the rule thus established, the year 1888 should have brought the epidemic, but it did not. Whether we shall have it this year or not may depend largely upon the sanitary condition of the large cities and upon the thoreughnees of our quarantine regulations. It is settled beyond dispute that the disease is an infection or contagion and that it is carried from place to place by persons suffering from it. This being so, it behooves our government to take such steps as may effectually tend to prevent the introduction of the plague into this country. The New York Times suggests that all our consuls should be instructed to send warning of the departure of emigrants from cholera-infected localities, and that this warning should go to the port of srrival and if possible to the inland points of destination. One of the worst features of these terrible maiaHifla is the panic into which their coming throws communities. More people die of fright than of disease. It is stated that ninety per cent, of the victims of the present epidemic are women This is not probably because the women are leas able to withstand the disease, but their more sensitive nervous organisations cause them to be frightened more easily and thus to fall an easy prey to the epidemic. Clean surroundings, pure air, regular habits, plain but nourishing food, and a cheerful and hopeful disposition are the beet pieventives of eholera or any other virulent epidemic. /v

MIWIBTHH SARGKNT has returned from Germany and in an interview expressed the sentiment that the main difficulty with Bismarck is that he Is trying to do the thinking for sll Germany. When anybody presumes to dissent from his views the prince regards that person as an open enemy. Says Mr. Sargent: "My trouble with him arose from the fact that I thought that 1

saw that he was deter­

mined to sacrifice the rights of Americans, notwithstanding the terms of our treaty with Germany, to the exigencies of his party polities, whloh required, just at that time, a strong following from the landholdlng interest ofuermany. Our pork undersold even that raised in. Hungary, and that was the secret of the prohibition. Bismarck by his action pleased the powers all around him, with which he was anxious to be at peace, and the United States was so remote that he thought there vaino danger to be feared from retaliation."

When Mr. Sargent advised theTJniteo States to retaliate, for the outrageous conduct of the German government, Bismarck didn't like it and Mr. Sargent had to come home—or, what was the same thing, go to Russia. When Blaine becomes Preeident perhaps Mr. Sargent can go back to Bismarck's country «gdPy

TKHSB has been a somewhat general complaint of dull business in most lines of trade for some time past. This is usually the case in presidential years and perhaps the complaints are not greater this year than in previous periods preliminary to the great political oontest which disturbs the country so sensibly every four years. There is really no cause for alarm. The outlook for buslnees is not unfavorable. The crops promise well. The wheat, now being harvested, is of fine quality and good yield, while the average is in excess of any former year. The corn is fairly on its way and promises well and the other general crops are in good condition. We have enough money, of the best kind in the world, to accommodate all the necessities of business, and when it ia decided who the next* president shall be, there is every reason to believe that the currents of trade will begin to run full and strong again and the business of the country settle down to its normal condition.

Simni great English earls are soon to start on a great hunt for elk, etc., in the Rocky mountains of America. They will leave England with an army of servants and all the paraphernalia,utensils, provender, et cetera, that can help to make a hunter's life happy and luxurious, and they will arrive in New York and start for the great west about September first. Tbey will have a great time, without doubt, these Aeven great English earls, but as one reads of their projected excursion his thought^inevitably go over the water 'to the thousans of English men, women and children, toiling from sunrise to sunset for the barest necessities of life, the profits of whose labor enables these greet earls, not only to go six thousand miles away to hnnt, but to own great forests at home, stocked with game, in which they can indulge their hunting propensities •very day In the year if they please. And when one thinks of this he does not enthuse to any marked extent over the hunt of the great earls.

Tit* Msignee of Grant & Ward reports the liabilities of the firm at upwards of sixteen million dollars and the nominal —He at twenty-seven millions, the actual value of which is 187,174! Allowing nothing for court expenses this would pay the creditors something lees thMi halt scent on the dollar. But the probability are tint the sassts will not be sufficient to pay the expenses of settling the estate, let alone paying crediton anything. But the creditors are of a kind for whom nobedy need weep or tsar lite hair.

TERM HAUTE SATURDAY EVTffNISTG MAIL.

CONGRESS has taken a wise step in providing for the creation of abnreanof labor. That is, it will be wise if anything practical comes of it. There is undoubtedly a demand for something of the kind, and a wide field of usefulness open for the right kind of an organised department which shall have for its object the inquiring into the condition of the wage-working classes, the examination of their grievances of whatever nature, and whether fancied or real, the gathering and collating of labor statistics, and the extending of practical assistance to those who are in need of help. The field is evidently a wide one, and it will require time and patience, and painstaking labor to organize and put into efficient working order a bureau commensurate with the necessity cf the esse. Such a department cannot be created instantly it will have to grow and develop just aa the other great department of the gov ernment had to do. But it is high time that a beginning were made. Unquestionably there is a communistic element preeentin our society, and it is surely and steadily increasing. Referring to the existence of such a spirit the New York Tribune says: "\, "We cannot tolerate It, nor can we excuse ourselves wholly from blame for the fact that so many of our fellow-creatures find

whole fabric. Thegreat conservative, honest, hard-working mass of Americans is caught between two extremes of anarchy—the anarchy of the lawless proletariat. To pres«rve Itself society must conquer and civilize both."

That labor has its grievous ways and oppressions cannot be doubted. Many of its complaints are well founded many of them are not. ,But it is entitled to be heard, and somewhere in the government there should be a tribunal to which it maylespecially address itself and be sure of an honest and patient hearing. It is to be hoped that the newly-created bureau will develop into such an institution as the magnitude of the intereet concerned demand.

SURGEON GKNBRAL HAMILTON thinks the cholera will not reach this country this year and may not come at all. The government is taking precautions to prevent its introduction if possible. He says, however, that more depends on good sanitary conditions than on keeping the disease out. Like the rest of those loathsome oriental diseases it is the offspring of filth and riots in uncleanness. Wherever it finds a city that is dirty and ill-drained It fastens upon it and claims its victims by hundreds and thousands. Such cities are Toulon and Marseilles and hence ^he peat mortality which the cholera is causing there.

Investigations concerning the effect of different forms of artificial illumination on the health show that the tallow candle is the most unwholesome agent and the electric light the best.

One gas jet in a room is said to vitiate the air as much as six persons.

At a Unitarian Conference In Bernardstou, Mass., an address by a clergyman made excitement. He thinks that there Is nothing managed in such utter disregard of true business principles as the religious interest of this country. He holds that every minister should have at least 280 families In hiaoougreation that a church with that number of families can be run for about 2^00 a year.

Dr. A. a Tsft, a leading physician in Connecticut, who died at Hartford last week, was several years ago believed to be in the last stages of consumption, and the best medical authorities in Boatoe and New York gave the opinion that one lung was entirely gone, sad

that he could not possibly live more than six months. He began a course of generous living and used brandy freely, effecting a cure and gaining sixty pounds in flesh, so that he was said to have a fine physique. An autopsy at death showed both lungs to be perfect, and that death had been caused by stom&ch troubles. 11m Spiritualists have discovered how It is that, when rude investigators grab and hold a materialised spirit, the captured form often proves to be that of the medium. In these cases the Banner of Light explains: "What was intended to be a materialization at the outset only reaches aT transfiguration of the medium's body." Thus a corporeal form is made to take on the semblance of a departed person and the editor thinks it is very unjust to accuse mediums of fraud in the matter.

A BIRD'S EYE VIEW. Oath, At half an hour after the time to begin the convention I rose and carefully scanned the audience. Not a negro was to be seen in it that I could observe. The attendance was about two-thirds of that of the Republican convention, large portions ef the house presenting great white rows of caae-seated chairs. This is perhaps to be accounted for by the large laboring population in the democracy, which is at work in the daytime, but will show hereafter at the night sessions. I do not think there was three per cent, of women in the audience. On the stage there was not one lady. A few female reporters were to 1)0 seen.

On the stage were not a few persons of prominence, like Speaker Carlisle, Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Beck. Pendleton stood up and surveyed the audience with a smile. Beck held the stump of a cigar, and mixed freely. Carlisle sat, pale and- still, like a man presently to arise and give out a hymn. Capel, the prelate, was on the stage, studying Republican society. The little flags established among the delegates on slender poles gave the body something of the appearance of a signal corps. There were a large number of confederates, mostly officers, in the Southern delegations, and. when the tune of "Dixie" was arrived at a good, loud battle yell was given.

A clergyman bearing resemblance to Senator Butler, of South Carolina, made a modest prayer. About one-half the delegates stood up, especially thoeefrom the south. Prominent among these were seen in the front like Senator Thurman, wearing a suit' of very light gray, and General Hooker, ef Mississippi, Barnum of Connecticut,who has an energetic countenance, with not much eraniam, made some introductory remarks, only partly heard in the nuge hall, which looked like the inside of a large dry goods box with a few trimmings laid in the bottom. He mentioned the name of Hubbard, of Texas, for temporarv chairman, which was received with loud cheers. Mr. Hewitt, of New York was seen flying up the aisle during the preliminary proceedings, and bearing ing some resemblance to a musician awakened in the night by a temporary inspiration.

Hubbard is an enormous man, meas-

flowing

breast. He had an excellent voice and an oratorical manner, and brought back a reminder of the old days ot pathetic stump speaking. He proclaimed that Texas was more cosmopolitan than any other state in the union. In a few minutes his voice began to rise iu ways of cadence, and the audience, delighted to hear something at last, gave utterance to shrill screams and clapped their hands. In one minute one heard about the glorious Spartan women of the south, whereat the countenances of the Butler men fell. Hendricks, of Indiana, sat bv Dan Voorhees, looking a little thin and peaked, but with a handsome, sympathetic countenance. Voorhees, with a moustache and goatee, at his ride sat grave and military looking. The convention was a handsome body in general, carefully dressed and attentivf.

CLEVELAND 18 A SILK STOCKING AND A TRIMMER. 1 N.Y. Commercial-Advertiser. "Cleveland belongs to tboee nambypamby Democrats, called by some the •silk-stocking,"* said Deputy Register McLaughlin, "and I regard him as a trimmer. Now, no true Democrat likes a

of this character—pretending to belong to the Democratic party yet catering for the votes of the other party. It was that which killed Horace Greeley politically, and will kill Cleveland. Who are Ms supporters Ther so-called Independent Republicans—the trimmers of that ptrty. The Democrats, uk»o vi »nw» y*" therefore, can not consistently support such a man as this, and if the Chicago convention nominatee Cleveland, It will makfl the greatest political mistake ever made by the party.

THE HOOSIER DELEGA TEL

l.„,

Chicago News.

There is nothing cold or formal about the Hoosiers. As Edward Eggleston makes Bud Means ssy in "The Hboeier School-master," tbey "put in their best licks" in the good, old-fashioned way. They are honest and homely in their language and appearance as assembled for the good of toe nation in parlor ai the Palmer boose. No pomp and vainglory deprives the honest (ranger delegate of bis sacred Ive of sitting with Ids bat on or spitting op the carpet if he wants to. When a Hcosier delegate, full of McDonald boom and hard Sder, enters the headqnarters of the Indiana delegation, he shakes hands all round, palls a section of nayy-plug out of his pocket, and passes that around, hfcM "chaw" himself, and is ready for business. Nobody is a bigger man than anybody else ail Is pesos and harmony and patriotism and tobaooo-jukss.

^RAILWAY TRAVEL.

THE FAVORITE ROUTE TO THE EAST.

Few of our people ever think of any other route to the east than by the Vandaiia, the Panhandle and the Pennsylvania roads—the quick and direct route, with its through cars, elegant equipments and every comfort possiblein this remarkable age of railway invention. The St. Louis Republican has this to say, editorially:

The ruling economic idea in traveling is the greatest speed, combined with safety, comfort and pleasure caught "on the fly," and eastern-bound tourists and business men generally know that this combination may be found by applying at the office of the Vandalia line. A clear gain of several hours between St. Ilouis and New York is of great importance when many placee are to be visited, various people to be seen and appointments kept, and leave of absence is limited. A half a day or so is a big addition to a short vacation, pat in where it will do the most good. The Vandalia line as apart of the great Pennsylvania railroad system opens a wide territory to travellers east, north an* south, connecting lines which tread the most picturesque sections of the country and lead directly to the prettiest spots. The main line runs through the original capital of Illinois, Vandalia, and the present capitals of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey a*d it so happens that these points are reached by a nearly direct route, and not by a winding circuit. It is like the rivers which run past the largest cities, with this difference—the cities were built before the railroads and seem to have been put in the right places. And this result is just as natural as the course of the rivers—the principal settlements having been made in the path of immigration, and on the line of development from east to west. The Pennsylvania Central and PauHandleand Vandalia follow this line, and constitute the natural route across the several states. That is the philosophy of the shortest distance and the quickest time.

These facts are generally known hereaway, and the Yandalia line holds the leading position among railroads which have their western terminus In this city. The road always has been and still is fortunate in its management by ex erienced and enllg' ave kept pace wit!

rienced and enlightened men, who pt pace with the progress and the development to which they gave the first impetus. As they opened and improved the territory through which they passed, they increased their faculties commensurate with the growing demand to reap the harvest or their enterprise. Their tracks are now ballasted with stone and gravel and laid with steel rails the entire distance from St. Louis to New York, which insures smoothness in motion and cleanliness on the trains, which cannot kick up tbe dust where no dust is. Steel rails and stone ballasts are also factors In the general safety of the railrohd travel. Another )rovislen for safety is tbe blook system _'or the management of trains, preventing a train from entering block three or four miles in length until it is clear of other trains, thus reducing the liability of collision to the minimum. So much for speed, comfort and safety.

The scenery on the route is noted for its interesting features *nd varied character plains, valleys and mountains, embracing the wildest forms of nature, the hlgheet cultivation and the richest pastoral culture, the prairies of Illinois, the diversified rolling fields and tbe primeval forests qj Indiana and Ohio, tbe Allegheny mountains, with the Horseshoe bend and Pack saddle, and other noted sections of track, as well grand views of steeps and chasms, a bright waters the valleys of the Ckmeraaugh, Juniata and Susquehanna, and the Lascaster and Chester valleys— gardens of agriculture and types of quiet rural beauty. All these ana many more sights and scenes cluster on the Pennsylvania railroad route east and make tbe trip delighful, without an hour of weary monotony.

The management of this trunk line is practicallv one and the same from St. Louis to tfew York. The passenger trains run solid to Pittsburg and tbe sleepers go to New York without change. The equipment is in all respects first-class. The Pullman hotel cars leave here In the morning, and tbe buffet dining-room cars in the evening two trains each way every day in the week—and there are no detentions caused by intervening Sundays. There are several extentlons of the road leading to various points of interest and summer resorts, lake regions, favorite fishing grounds and breeches among hills. Cpl. J. Hill, the sceneral superintendent of tbe Vandalia in this city, 4s nobly keeping up bis end of the line, and his ability as a railroad manager receives fresh confirmation every day.

THE NEGRO RACE. New Orleans Times-Democrat. The toial number of negroes In the United States is estimated at 6,000,000, or one-ninth ot the entire population. Only seven Northern States have a higher colored population than 20,000, and of these the highest is Pennsylvania with 65,000. The last census indicated the fact that tbe wbite population doubles itself every twenty-five years, while the negro does tbe same in every twenty yean. From these figures a writer in the North American Review,

making

allowance for foreign and northern immigration, concludes that in 100 y®*'* tbe negroes in every Southern 8tate will deuble the number of whites.

A MFMBKR OP THE CHURCH MILITANT. Turner, tbe negro bishop of Georgia, belongs to the church militant. He got iboard a train with his wife in Teno.es

awe. A brakeman ordered them into a second-class car, and started to take bold of the woman, and tbe bishop made a remark. Said be: "Please let me say a word to yon kindly. I want no trouble, and I pray to God you will save me from any. out if you touch my wife there will be funeral to-morrow in either your family or my own." Then tbe brakeman passed on, the woman sst down in tbe firstdass car, and tbe bishop went to the smoking saloon so as to avoid offense as far as possible.

SUNDAY IN CHICAGO* 5 Special to Cleveland Leader. I have never seen Sunday so badly desecrated, even In Europe, ss here today. Bands have been playing, and processions of the different candidates are now marching out through the streets. The saloons have been filled with mob ot convention-goers, snd the lobbies of the hotels have been tbe scenes of discussions iu which the u*mes of tbe candidates have been mingled with iiTOfanity and vulgarity. There la no sir of Sabbath any pises. Sodom In its last days could not have be«n worse than Cungo Isto-dsy.

HOW CLEVELAND HANQED TWO MEN. i, I Buflfclo Evening Telegraph.

It is interesting to note that durinar the administration of Grover Cleveland as Sheriff of Erie county the alleged "man of destiny" swung two men into eternity. The first was John Gaffney, a prominent young Irishman, who kepts free-and-easy in that formerly corner of Washington and Carroll streets.

that formerly stood on tbe northeast Gaffey was sentenced by the general term of the Superior Court, December 7, 1871, the date of the execution being set for the 8th of February, following Governor Hoffman, respited him for one week, and strenuous efforts were made by the doomed man's friends to avert

he was crime Fahey, In "Ted" Sweeney's saloon, on Canal street, during a quarrel over game ot cards.

During the same year Sheriff Cleveland was again called upon to repeat the neck-tie party, the victim being afar more despisable wretch, Patrick Morrissey. Morrissey's poor old mother lived on the tow-path in the rear of the Alhambra Theater, at the place then called Packet dock. Patrick was dissolute and shiftless, and spent all his time carousing. During a drunken fit he went to his mother's and demanded money to buy liquor and was refused. Mrs. Morrlssey was cutting a loaf of bread and laid down the knife for a moment when the wretched son pickedit up and stabbed her in the breast. She expired soon afterward. The criminal term of the Superior court, July 15, 1872, sentenced tne murderer to be hanged September 6, of that year, and the execution took place on the day set. One of the witnesses was Albert Hoight, clerk of the Surrogate court, now,one of the judges of the general term of the Superior court. J. W. Fisher was county clerk. The certificates of execution filed in the county clerk's office are signed by these officials, and the wellknown autograph of Governor Clev^ land Is appendea to each. In Gaffnay's case execution was ordered between io a. m. and 4 p. m., and it is worthy of note that the sheriff availed himself of the full time limit. He did not swing the wretch until late in the afternoon. In both cases Sheriff Cleveland did the business with neatness and dispatch, and the hanging went off without hitch.

BUTLER'S POLITICAL MORALS. Special to New York Tribune. Said a prominent politician, "Butler, in 1880, came to tbe city in which I live to make a Bpeeob. After our first greeting he said: 'How many meetings are you going to have I replied, 'Two, morning and evening.' Then he said* 'What kind of a speech do you want on each occasion I was puzzled, and said: 'What do you mean, General Tr 'Well,' said he, *you have all kinds of constituency. There are hard-money men and there are soft-money men,

and there are high tariff and low tariff men. You ought )o reach every member of the jury. What shall I say in tbe afternoon T* «Well,' I said, 'In the afternoon you will have farmers and In the evening mechanics to address.' I'll be blessed If he didn't go in for bard money and a low tariff in the afternoon and for soft money and a high tariff in tbe evening. It was fellow-Democrats in the sfternoon and fellow-Green backers ip. the evening, winding up with an exhortation to vote for Hancock."
