A PAPER

FOR THE

PFOPLE.

THE RAMBLER.

AWD OBSERVATIONS ON MATTKB8 ABOUND TOWN.

fcWjv- ".i* It used to be a standing threat with ihe newspapers here to pnbliah a lidt of the men who attended the female min-

-strel shows, dizzy blonde performances, •etc., with the idea that such a publication would keep the parties named away from future performances of the kind. 'Bat tbe feet ha* been demonstrated that publication of this kind has no effect

in keeping them away. A few weeks sgo on# ef the daily papers published a very complete liat of those attending a female minstrel show, and although much indignation was expressed by several whose names were mentioned, it did not deter them from taking in the

«lghts of the "Adamless Eden" show this week. This party which was per'bap* the poorest and moat vulgar show that has been given here for several years, had more money in the bouse than any of the first-class shows have bad here this season. There were many floen there who have not been in the opera house for years, and the audience included prominent physicians, lawyers, merchants, etc., and a complete Ust would have proved of great interest.

Several years ago Lawrence Hudson, en city editor of the Express, publish* a liat of the prominent persons who nded the Rentz minstrel show, and to tie talk of tho town for several 4^&ks. It was written in the immita"ble style for which Lawrence was noted, and there were many rich thicgs said. About that time a series of lectures was in progress at the Baptist church, under direction of Rev. C. R. Henderson. On the night the dizzy blondes were to appear here, a well known physician was booked to lecture at the church. The afternoon of the day in question he notified the church people that he would not be able to make his address, owing to the fact that he had to make a long drive into the oountry to see a patieut, and would be unable to return in time to carry out the programme. For this reason the lecture was postponed. But when the curtain rose on the vast expanse of legs and the correspondingly limited display of clothing that evening, the doctor occupied one of the most prominent seats in the house. When the paper came out the following morning with his name included in the list of those present, there was no end to the guying he received.

strikes me that the goody-goocjy A people Gave outdone themselves In their talk about indicting the merchants who allowed posters of the Adamless Eden ahow to be hung in their show windows.

Of course the show was not what it should have been, and it perhaps ought not to have been allowed to show, but it's all nonsense to talk about indicting the business men whose windows were made a vehicle for advertising the show. They might just as well talk of indicting the bill poster who hung the bills, the hotel keeper who' boarded the party while It was here, and the railroad agent who sold them tickets out of the town. It may be Just like a fool grand jury, bowever, to Indict some of these men and subject the oounty to a great expense in attempting a conviction. The lithographs of this particular show were no worse, anyhow, than those displayed by many other shows that have been here,this and past seasons. They are not half as indecent as many wo-called works of Art that are displayed In shops,and occupy prominent positions in our parlors —aud yet we do not hear any talk of our •hop-keeper* or householdera being Indicted for displaying lewd picutres. This feeling of intense virtue is but a spasm of abort duration, and is displayed simply for effect,4 These same persons wlio are talking about the evil effects of such pictures will go to the opera house to see "My Partner'' where the motive of the pl«y Is the seduction of a girl and unnatural heroism of a* innocent man who marries her, after her seducer is dead, to give a name to the child of which she Is about to become the mother or "Camilla," where the Joys and sorrows of a prostitute and her "lover" are constantly before the, audience. And then they talk about indicting a man for displaying a picture in which the •hapely forms of variety actresses are made prominent. Out upon suoh goody* goodness.

The talk of indicting these men will meet tbe unqualified approval of that nan who told tbe reporter of one of the dailies, that if snc'i a such ahows were -allowed to use our opera house he would seM his property and remove from tbe city. That man, whoever he may be, Is a daisy, and no mistake. For an unparailed example of a man who has the -good of the city at heart, point me to the one who threatens to sell his property and leave because a show that he dia likes is allow to occupy the opera house.

Again let it be said that he is a daisy.

Apropos of the talk about indicting the men spoken of before, a friend of mine, of rather an inquiring turn of mind, propounds the following. If a poor devil without *ft lends or money .get* three years in JeffbrsonvUle for stealing a coat to cover his nakedness, and another man, with money to hire the beet attorneys, gets two years for killing a man, what will an average jury do with a man who la Indicted for hang* log an alleged indecent picture in his

window The ways of Providence and an average juryman are inscrutable, and Rambler gives it np.

The time is ripe now, after the agitatation that has been given the A. E. show, for some ministers to favor us with a profound sermon on the evils of "Theater Going," and indulge in long winded tirades on these "devices of the devil," taking tbe Adamlees Eden show as a fair sample of what tbe average theater has grown to be. This is about as logical as the average minister can be when it comes to calking about the theater, and the Rambler misses his guess, If some of our ministers do not make this show a theme for a sermon.

I hear there is another gentleman anxious to gain wealth and distinction by engaging in tbe newspaper business in Terre Haute. Tbe person referred to is H. C. Barton, of Robinson, Ills., who Is publlshlug the Antl-Monopolist, at that place as a weekly, devoted, as Its name indicates, totheanti-monepollsticcause. The gentleman thinks the field at Robinson is not large enough for him, and he contemplates removing his establishment to this place. Since Major Smith removed hla Weekly Express to Chicago there has been no active Greenback paper here, and the Robinson man probably thinks bis paper will fill along felt want. He will find out hia mistake however, before many months, and the Anti-Monopolist Is likely to join that innumerable throng of newspaper infants which have gone before, and are lost. ......

If the candidates for office continue to bob up as regularly within the next few mouths as they have since the election ef a Democratic president was assured more offices will bave to be created for their benefit. There have been no new candidates for the postoffice within the past few days, and the list still continues aa originally published, viz: J. F.

Regan,

R. Van Valzah, Maurice

Hegarty, J. P. Foley, W. H. Scudder, G. A. Scball, Robert Hunter, and B. F. Havens. A, writer in one of the daily papers recently claimed to have information from the inside circles in prophecy! ng as to the lucky man, but he made a mistake in his forecast. Wheu the matter was first discussed the Rambier named the next postmaster, and since then has had pointers showing tbat tbe gentleman named is to be the successful one. There Is a whole army of prospective deputy postmasters and mall carriers. Among tbe gentlemen who tbiuk they are entitled to the deputy postmastersbip are Grove Crafts Fred Appman, Frank Heany, and Gus Conzman. Cbas. Stewart, of Harrison township, H. B. Brokaw, and "Dode" Carr would also like to have positions on^stoffipe f^roe,

wants the P. O. Lobby, and Jas. Myers, the ex-base balllst would also like to have It, although the former seems to have the Inside track from the fact of his having had experience In the lobby. J. H. Walker, mail agent at tbe Union depot, is the only colored man having an official appointment here, and it would aeem that from tbe professed love of the colored brethren by the by the Democrats, that he ought to be continued there. But it is willed otherwise, and among the gentlemen who have their eyes upon the place, are Robt. Thomas, ex-station house keeper. Ed. Roach and Mike Kennedy. 't'l

The candidates" for revenue collector are J. M. Sankey, O. P. Davis, the sage of Opedee, Hiram Teters and Chas. Knight, both of Brazil, and Col. Hosklns, of Knlghtsville, Clay county. Patrick Shannon has of late developed a desire for the position, but bis candidacy Is simply to Injure Mr. Sankey's chanoes. Several years ago Sanicey defeated Shannon for the nomination for county treasurer, and ever since the portly banker has disliked Sankey, and has done everything In his power against him when he was a candidate. It was^ for this season that Shannon worked vigorously for John Royse for the nomination for olerk two years ago, against Sankey, who oarried off tbe prize. It is said by well posted politicians that Col. Hosklns is the most formidable man that has yet been announced for the collectorahip. He is an honest, well-to-do merchant of Knightsville, a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, who has always contributed liberally to the campaign fund when called upon, and has mere backing in Clay county than either of the Brazil men. It would be well for the other candidates to keep their eyes on the old gentleman from Clay. Frank Heauy and M. W. Stack are spoken of as posaible deputise under the new collector, whoever he maybe. Leslie Helmer, tbe Midland conductor, David Goldman, Reuben Buts,and Fred Pfeunig are booked asguagersand Thoe. W. Kineer and Fred Seeburger as storekeepers. Jacob White and F. F. Keith want Indian agencies, and Phil May and Nicholas Katsenbach would like to have consulships, and this about completes the list of Democratic aspirants here in Terre Haute. There are hundreds and hundreds of others who would Hke to have positions, but as yet they have managed to keep their desires secure from the public gase.

Crawford Fairbanks is said to have hie eye on some easy government appointment that will not conflict with his business, and has been on te Washington looking at the lay of things in general. His Demecmcy is not of as long standing aa that of some of the gentlemen who are seeking office, but this oannot be used against him, as he has been a worker for the party ever since he be

came a member of it. He would like to have a position as railroad commissioner of one of the Pacific roads, or become a member of tbe Mississippi river commission, either of the offices paying $5,000 a year, and having no arduous duties attached to it. It is safe to say that the gentleman will get there.

I heard a so called Christian remark the otber day in a sneering tone, that tbe liquor dealers who gave the bread tickets to the Ladies' Aid Society for the poor did it simply as an advertisement for their business. That man's heart, 1 have no doubt, is fully as large as a hazelnut, and there is so little charity i$t him that he cannot appreciate a good action in another. I was tempted to ask him whether be thought the bread would do any less towatd appeasing hunger because saloon keepers gave it, admitting that publication of the fact might do them some good as an adver* tisement. The fact is the better-than-thou people are too quick to condemn.a man as tetally bad because he is in the saloon business, and are not willing to*: give him credit for good motive, or desire to relieve distress. Besides the bread donation spoken of, tbe Liquor Dealer's Association this week gave $59 to the cause of charity, a good, example that might well be followed by some otber of our associations that can well afford it, including some of tbe foreign mlsslenary societies. It would not beebad sight to see some of our societies] following an example in doing good set by a liquor dealer's association

There Is a possibility that the sympathy for tbe unemployed workingmen will be Injured by the actions of a fejw indiscreet individuals, who are going about "demanding" money that has been donated to their cause, and placed in tbe hands of tbe proper society .for distribution, and in the same breath with their demands, denounce the society to which the movement for their WBliefis principally doe. Tbe gentlemen composing the society are honorable, fair-minded men, who have no inclination or desire to do any one an injustice. Their judgment is shown in theexejfl»u fjfnfc'pfsh they jSurtCe^flvtng grocery orders instead of money to men who are known to be drinking men. Tbere are many families in want in this city from the very reason that the husband and father cares for whisky more than he cares for the sufferiug oi his family, and it would be folly to attempt to relieve such a family by giving money to the husband. It would be but a short time until the money found its way to the till of the saloon keepers, who do themselves credit in saying they do not want the money of any man whose family is suffering. .......

It is better that two families in heed should have their wants partially supplied for two months rather than one family should for one month have everything its members desire while the other family starved. This is carrying out in practice the theory of the greatest good to tbe greatest number, and is the principle on which the Organized Charity society is doing its work. If the men who are unemployed and their representatives who demand this and that, could be made to realize that everything possible is being done for them, much of the trouble that has been experienced—and will be encountered before tbe opening of work in the spring brings permanent relief—could be done away with. It's useless, however, to attempt to argue with a man whose stomach is empty and whose children are suffering, and equally as useless to tell him of the chances he has thrown away. What he wants is something to eat, and he is likely to look upon every one as a fraud who keeps it from him a single moment.

Another thing that is going to~1rart the cause of the worthy unemployed Is this talk by a certain tew about the necessity of secret organization to secure their ends. The sensible workingmen take no stock in such nonsense as this, but there are many who can be led away by it, and tbeke, besides injuring their own cause, injure themselves indlvidully. For this talk of secret organisation means nothing less than Socialism, that morbid outyrowth of the corrupt conditions of Europe. We' want no Socialistic principles or societies here, and any attempt to introduce them will be frowned down at once. The'men who are advocating secret organisation probably have this end in view, and if they do they should be made to understand that they are placing themselves outside the pale of sympathy and assistance. It wps the meddling Socialists of Chicago that caused the labor trouble at South Bend, this week, and we want none of it here.

The police commissioners are to be elected next Tuesday evening, and it Is likely that the official* will be selected from the iist given last week. There seems to be no opposition to Ed. Vandever as superintendent, aod he will doubtless be selected, as he should be.

The State Legislate r^juc. finally taken hold of tbe teleplW^^uestion, and a bill was introduced tbia week making it illegal for a company to charge more than three dollars a month es rent, for an instrument, or $2.50 each wben two or more instruments are used. That bill ongh£ to pass, and be enforced from tbe minute of its passage. If it should become a faw, and the subscribers to tbe exchange would refuse to pay for three months'service in advance, the telephone monopoly would be run on something like a business principles and the number of patrons would Increase.

The fire ordinance will also be introduced then, and as legislative action seems to have been abandoned, will be adopted. A peculiarity of this ordinance will be, it is said, that BO provision will be made for the permanency of the chief, the city charter requiring him to be elected by the eounoll, whereas the ehief of police ia appointed.

"THAT little bill" has been one of tbe prominent featured of the' new year. One industrious collector says it is aggravating to be met with tbe almost involuntary exclamation "Leave it, I'll examine it." Out of twenty such who put him off in this wa'y he is satisfied h*^Me&st~ei#btee» know tb*biU iaaUright, and of eighteen probably sixteen could pay tbe amount just as well one time as another. It is quite as often the rich who thus thoughtlessly make a man run twice or more for his money as people of moderate means. "I never make a man call twice tor his due,'.' remarked a gentleman a few days sinee, and he was eighty years of age. Imagine the amount of happiness this man has contributed to this world.

DR. HUMPHREY* was fouud guilty of manslaughter, and his punishment fixed at two years in the penit ntiary—the lowest limit of the law. The jury returned this verdict at noon on Sunday. It is stated that on retiring to the room on Saturday evening, the jury stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. Samuel T. Jones, James M. Hunt and Lewis Weeks voted to acquit. Tho last named changed his vote on the second ballot. The other two stood out tor acquittal until about noon on Sunday, wben a compromise verdict was determined upon as above stated. After conpultation with the attorneys and bis father, Dr. Humphreys decided not to ask for anew trial. He was sentenced on Wednesday, and taken to Jeffersonville that night. On leaving he said be was willing to add one year to bis imprisonment if he could see his wife, now at Pana, about to become a mother, and unable to come to him.

Ben Blanchard received word this week from his foreman at Garden City, Kansas, that business is booming in that embryo western metropolis. Tbe foreman reports that twenty bouses are now being built for Mr. Blanchard on land for his customers, while a gang of surveyors are at work laying out land that has recently been sold to capitalists. To-day five tea ma will begin breaking the sod on his own land, and it will all be placed in oats and similar cereals. The rush of land seekers still continue? at Garden City, and tbe indications are that by Jnne tbe town will have doubled itself in size and population. Tbe stringency of the times has caused many persons to turn their eyes westward, and a majority of tboee going from this and adjacent regions are being located by Ben Blanchard In Finney oounty,
