THE RAMBLER*

MOnSS AND OB8HRVATIONS ON MAT•W. TKB8 ABOUND TOWN

Shrewd politicians bare always maintained that party ends are beat obtained where legiilatlra bodies are ao evenly divided that the dominant party has a bare working majority. The reaaon given la that under auch circumstance* greater care ia taken to enaet laws that 'will not give offense to the more conaervatiye of either party, whereas, if the party in power has an overwhelming majority, a large party vote can be necured to paaa almoet any measure that la proposed by a member of that party. The ooarae of the present Legislature, if it carries oat all the measures that have been claimed, will illustrate the point in question, and locally ita effeota are visible already. If a State Metropolitan poHoe bill ia passod and a criminal court omated for this county, the city is booked Ibr (he Republicans in the spring beyond all doubt, and the county likewise a year from next fall. There are enough fair-minded Democrats in Vigo county to rebuke with their ballots, auoh partisanship aa the passage of these lawa would display. ^0®

r~"

It ia claimed that the bill for the Criminal court has been prepared aud will be presented to the Legislature in a short time—and, of course, if it ia, its passage is ensured. Such a proceeding would be «D outrage upon the people of Vigo county, an outrage they would not be alow to reaent when an opportunity presented Itself. Judge Mack is an able official— already he has shown that— with the grit and "sand" not to be bulldozed out of his rights, whenever any brow-beating, overbearing lawyers— and we have them here—feel called upon todoao. If the men who are moving for anew court secure that prise it will be easy for them to have their own man appointed for judge, before whom they can do aa they please. The Democrats have enough offices in the State and oounty without creating others that are •tot needed, increasing the expenses that have already grown so large aa to require legislative action to open a way out. With two courts and two competent judges to transact the business, the •criminal portion of the community do not require a court for their especial benefit. The Republicans, of course would be willing enough, for political lessons, to see such a court established, (or the simple reason that It would orsate a sentiment against the party enacting it that would react in favor of their opponents. But aside from thia, the beet men of both parties are opposed to audi proceedings, and no party osn effort to over-iideihe wiahea of the people.

The HUM is true of a State police law, although it applies peculiarly to the city fa ita political effort. Under lira city law no party can aeon re IMI ad van dge over ita uppouenta, and under the iawe ta force at Indies apolta and Evans villa, the party In power at the Itaae oI the passage of tbe law wtilWvi undisturbed control* It the legislature diatorbettketftttiropbHtinpolloeiewtro* In lore* here, lb* tiUy of Terre Hi*te •U1 be ao BV#T*rhelmlngly Republican in MM *MB 5» ihat candidatee will he Oflfertisg a bonus to be allowed a place on efcaMtokst.

"Do you want to turn the young vote of the entire State against the Democratic party la the appeal that went over to Indianapolis thia week from influential Democrata who prophecy that the paasago of the law againet Sunday base ball playing would have that offset. It Is no secret that this Sunday aport haa never been interfered with in Terre Haute because the party in power «ould not afford to take auch aotion, and if the legislature should pass a law making it illegal, it would undoubtedly have the effect of driving many voters away from the party. There are many greater evils crying for reform than this peculiar one, although there is perhaps Auch that oan be aald against it. The bill in question has passed several read ings, and unless some energetic work is done against it, will paaa. The senator from Vigo Is opposed to it, and it ia said the repreeentatlvea will alao work «*»inet it.

V*

The gentlemen who are talking of a Western base ball league, with Terre Haute as a member, will have their work thrown away if auoh a law should pass, for a club oould not be made to pey here without Sunday gamee. It la greatly to be feared however, that all the talk will end in nothing, whether thia law is passed or not, The disastrous ending of beae ball here last year haa caused a feeling of dissatisfaction that will have to be overcome before the public will take any interest in a club thia year. The Rambler haa propbeded all the while that we would have no dub here, and he sees no indications that eause him to change his opinion, if we do have a dub it wili be organised by a few men of means, who oan afford to riak the money in an uncertain investment—and if they do It is to be hoped that they will have better aucceaa than waa experienced last year

Roawell G. Wheeler, who was last tall again placed In charge of an Indian agency in Arisona, eeema to be in hard

thiough no fault of his, and now he is in confliot with a Tusson judge, and there is likely to be serious trouble. He ejected an intruder from a ranch on an Indian reservation, and placed United 8tatee troops and a sub-agent in charge of the place. The man ejected appealed to the courts, an* secured an order to place him in repossession of the promisee. The sub-agent treated the order with contempt, and another order has been issued for his arrest and that of the aoldiera. The lot of

an

Indian agent is

notan en viableone,compelled aa he is not contend with a lot of avaridous mortals who are ever alert to take advantage of the red man. Whatever may be the reault of this trouble, it is safe to say that Mr. Wheeler haa been endeavoring te secure the rights of his Indian charges, and honeetly performed his duty.

Will not some brawny, able-bodied man awoop down on Luther Hager'a "reliable" thermometer, one of these fine mornings, and with an axe knock it into that everlasting hereafter where unsatisfactory thermometers find repose? By so doing he will confer a favor on many people who Mr. Hager will not allow to suffer when they have made up their minds to bear as meekly as possible the many changes with which the fickle weather bureau inflicta as. For yeara paat it haa been the custom with the enterprising reporter to fly to Mr. Hager when any extreme of weather waa reached and consult the reliable weather gusge. Thus it has been that when the mercury was climbing skyward with a velodty equal to that of a rocket, and a man, with his very flesh oozing away in liquid form, had made up hie mind that there could be no hereafter hotter than the then present state of affairs, the reporter bobs up serenely with the fiend'sh statement that "Luther Hager's reliable thermometer registers only 88 degrees to-day, although seversl other instruments about town indicate 120 degrees in the shsde." Now, no man likes to lie about the weather—if there ia any chance of getting caught in it—and a discrepancy of 3J degrees in a weather statement tends to damage a man's reputation for truth and veracity. This wbek the meroury has been going down, down, down, until it seemed that one would have to go down into the cellar to find how low it had actually reached. When a man wakes up in the morning and finds the fire out in the baae burner, with the atmosphere stfcold that It curls the hair on the back of the sofa and stops the clock, it is just «little bit aggravating to read later that "Luther Hager's thermometer registered 10 degrees below zero this morning, but other thermometers in places not exposed indicated as low as 28 degrees below." I mean no disrespect to Mr. Hager or his thermometer, particularly the latter, for in a apirit of revenge it might •end ita mercury scurrying down tc 28 degrees below—and when that thermometer gets so base and low-down aa that, we'll h|n**o shut up shop and go out of bnalnesa. But all thia railing againat the condemned thing la thrown away as it beara the U. S. Government stamp, and of course must be all right. It's pretty hard, however, after you've made up your fulnd that your blood 14 congealed to learn that the present winter ia the miideat we've had since the

The announcement waa made thia week that W. O. Fish back, for alone time* managing editor of the Express, ia to retire February let, and will bt succeeded by Claude DeBruler, of Evaaaville. Mr. Fiehback }a one of the beet practical nftwapapar ever engaged here, and the anaount of work ho has dona on the Expreaa ia aomething wonderful. He understand the whya and whereforsa of the newspaper baalneaa thoroughly, and when the Express proprietor ioaea him, he leta a good man go. I have not heard what bia plana are but a man of hia experience is never at a loss to command an excellent situation. Mr. DeBruler, who succeeds him, had an interest in the Evansville Journal for a long time, but recently disposed of it, and haa been acting as dty editor of the Courier of the same place.

The gentleman is something of a base ball enthusiaat, and was for some time manager of the Evansville club. It may be that he can through the Exprees wake up ibe base ball Intereet in Terre Haute and secure the organisation of a first class club here this season.

The impression seems to have gone out that the evangelist Moody Is to shortly hold a series of revival meetinga here. This is a mistake aa the reverend gentleman, If he does come, and it ia uncertain yet, will bold but one meeting, under the auspices of the Ministerial •asodation. The gentleman ia to be in Indianapolis three days, and at the meeting Monday the dty ministers will decide whether or iot they will bring him here. The moet important series of revivals ever held here was by the Rev. E. P. Hammond several years ago. He was here several weeks, and made hundreds of converts, many of whom, perhaps the majority, fonnd their way eooner or later back into their old and sinful habita. It was a noticeable fact that the men who made "frightful examples" of themselves at the meetings in order to secure the conversion of others, were the first to backslide, and after they had returned to their evil waya were more depraved than they had been before tbe conversion.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY, EVENING MAIL.

was a bad mistake, as one of the workmen admitted, to attempt the organisation of such a society, for the people will not assist any secret organisation of whoae character and objecta they are entirely ignorant. Since the outcom« of that difficulty the Charity 8odety haa had a boom, and have had much assistance from the business men, who seem to have awakened te the fact that the sodety 1b doing a great and good work. The soup house project has proved a aucceee, and if the patronage oontinuea to improve as rapidly as it has since the opening, it will soon be on a self-sus-taining baaia. A quart of soup, and small portions of bread and meat are given for five ceuta, and many indigent persons have tattoo^ advantage of th's opportunity to obtaih a good, nutritious meal at an extremely small coat. The kitohen will be maintained until tbe need of it ceases, and if it fails to sustain itaelf the guarantee fund will be called upon. Many persons have contributed money to be used in purchasing meal tickets, and it is really an excellent chance for tbe charitably disposed to,assist the needy. As mid before, the sodety is doirg a great and good worx, and when this winter is past many persons will be in a position to return thanks for the assistance they have received.

W.

S. Clift, John R.. Coffin and John F. Brinkman as police commissioners Tuesday night ensures the selection of a good lot of officers and men. They are reliable men, and will do their werk well. There has been a busy scene at the city hall the entire week, hundreds of men filing applications for plsces on the new force. A practical joke was played on many of them by some of tbe boys around the offices, who secured a measuring pole from the city engineer's office, on which the feet were marked off in tenths instead of twelfths. The applicants did not notice this, and a man had to be a fraction over five feet nine and a half inches in order to reach the required height on the pole. The expression on the faces when they thought they were not of the suffident height, baffled description. The boys enjoyed it hugely for awhile until one of the men discovered the trick that was being played on them.

*.*

The police commissioners organized this morning with the mayor as chairman, and Mr. Finkbiner as secretary. The first business was the election of a Superintendent, which resulted as foretold, in the choice of C. E. Yandever, tbe present Chief. He received the votes of the four commissioners, and the Democratic members moved that his election be made unanimoua as has been said before Mr. Yandever ia tbe most efficient, active and reliable Chief the dty has ever had, and his unanimous election la a recognition of his services of which he may justly feel proud.

amusements,^

The very large sale of asp* iMot W. H. Sherwood's Piano Recltaf JRaovening, indicate that tbe Pra# Jrlan nfanrsh will be filled tb hear musician. Tbs Mus^ *SSodety, under whose auspidas he ones, has sauss for congratulation at the success of ita first effort to introduce to jtho public the higher class of music.

A oouple of months ago the funnleet show of tbe season waa presented at the Opera Hoaas. This was Ban Sully's Corner Grocery." It scored such a hit that the manager haa returned with it, and it will be played again to-night, Tbe play haa a well defined plot, an intonating atory, an accasional touch of pathoe, natural and affecting hosae picturee, and a wealth of fun, mirth and song. Mr. Sully is an Irish oomedian of quiet and effective method*, and hia Daddy Nolan is a characteristic portraiture. He haa the aupport of an excellent company.

On Wedneeday evening we are to have comic opera at 25, 86 and 60 cents admission, and nothing extra for reeerved seats. "Girofie-Girofia," Leoooq's sparkling opera bouffe, will be presented by the Wilbur Opera Company. The bulk of tbe plot, consists of the various expedients by which Girofle was msde to fill the place of her absent twin sister, Girofia, and to answer to two husband a during the feetivities of the bridal night. The Louiaville Time says:

Miss Susie Kirwin assumes this double role In a charming manner. There is a fascination about her that takes the audience captive on her first appearance. She goes through her part with ntmost abandon

appearance.

ugb ber part with the ntmo and vivacity, and in her is found the rare combination of a good voloe, clever acting and graoeful dancing. The way she mana-

Klero

the train of her dress in the duet with and in the dancing is somewhat wonderful. The completeness of Miss Kirwln's conquest of the audience is fully tested by tbe scene immediately preceding the drinking song, where she occupies the stage aone for some ten minutes, and fills the time with interpolations of her own, pretty little soliloquies about apple pie, talks with the port bottle, and remarks such as that she never goes back on the boys. Following this the drinking song, "Bee How It Sparkles," waa much enjoyed and received aloud encore.

The Times speaks In very high terms of other members of the company.^ For the month of February some very fine attractions have been engaged, but the llat haa not yet been sent over by Mr. Dickson.

THB Terre Haute Musical Sodety will give a reception to Prof. W. Sherwood, and to the visiting Greencastle frieods this evening after the Redtal at the realdenee of President Brown, 644 Mulberry Street.

Patronise tbe veteran grocer, Samuel St*ne, and yon will always bo sure of full weight, honest count, the choicest groceries, the freshest country produce and the msrket affords.

IT is about settled that the high school building will be put upon tbe Deming ground, on aoutb Seventh street.

IT ia a remarkable fact that none of the building and loan assodationa in this dty have ever had occasion to foredose a mortgage.

THK whereabouts of the pictures that used to hang in tbe hall of the Locomotive Engineers, is desired. Information may be left at The Mall office.

THK Phoenix Foundry is one of the first industries to revive thie year. The working force has been increased and Mr. Gilbert says the future prospect I very encouraging.

THK Congregational church was decked last Sunday with a large quantity of miatletoe and holly, sent up by the former pastor Rev. C. P. Crofts, from Columbia, South Carolina. It waa theughtful and a kindly greeting to Mr. Corning the new pastor.

si

ON*day this week a poor woman with a little child was seen carrying a tub of washing home. A well known minister seeing the heavy load the little one was trying to help its mother carry, was so touched by the scene, that he hired a colored man passing, to carry the load to its destination.

THBRB are gratifying indications that Jack Frost is letting go his icy grip. In this locality it was the coldest last Thursday morning since the first of January, 1864, with the exception of the 5th of last January, when the mercury registered 4 degrees solder. L. G. Hager's thermometer, recognised as the standard, marked 17 degrees below zero at 6 o'clock last Thursday morning. Other themometers in various localitiee marked as low as 24 degrees.

THK members of the Congregational church are greatly pleased with their new minister, Rev. J. L. Corning, who began his work last Sunday. He has the advantage of extensive travel, a knowledge of tbe world at large and of all sorts of people, and can thus maks his pulpit discourses practical and adapted to wants and tastes or an Intelligent audience. He has a well moiulated voice, good enundation, and a seeming earnestness which holds the attention of his hearers.

CAPT. POTTER, who puts his whols soul into everything he undertakes, and is entitled to the credit of being sincere in his convictions, just now has hia war paint on, in a crusade againat amusements. The Gasette, in publishing an article from his caustic pen, says: Advandng years have tempered none of the asperity of the Captain's crltldam. The things he regards as sbomiuationa pretty much include everything exoept going to church, and accordingly little heed is paid to bis just crltldsms, so mingled are they with others the public regards aa Puritanical."

.HOBAC» M. SMITH and Miss Marion Tuell were marked at "St. Stephen'a church, oh Tuesday evening, in the presence oia brilliant assemblage. Rev. Walter Delafield conducted the ssrvice. The brides mslds were Miss Msggie Tuell and Miss Sallie Foiydand the groomsaaenMr.Geroge F. Jen ekes arid Mr. Jsy IKepss. Titt four ushers were Messrs. Hoiaos Jonas, Frank Danaldaon, Buena Vista Marshall and John W. Davis. After a reception in the parlors of the bride's mother, at the Terre Haute Honse, the wedded pair took the night train for Minneapolia, where they are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Trucedale. ante Mali joina their hoet of friends in wishing for a long, long life, filled with all the happinesa which cornea to a loving union of mature young manhood and womanhood.

THB ^TOSE Dispensary will not be opened next spring aa has been reported. M. S. Durham, one of the trustees teld a reporter of the Express the other day that no definite time had been set for the opening. The trustees hsve not even talked of a date for the last two yeara. At one time, it will be remembered, it waa intended to open the dispensary at the southeast corner of Ninth and Cherry atreeta, and a room was fitted up, but It waa concluded that the demand waa not yet great enough. Ndther do the trusteea think the demand now for the institution is enough to warrant the opening, and the expending of 92,000 a year in conducting it, which ia pliwing the expense at a reasonably low figure. To all intents and purposee the fund left for the institution Is doing the work now which would be done if the institution waa In operation. The trusteea make an allowance to the Ladies Aid Society that amounta to 94*0 a year, and St. Anthony'a hospital ia allowed 910 a month. The truatees are of the opinion that they thua reach all tboee who would be benefitted if the institution waa open. Mr. Chauncey Rose provided that 975,000 ahonld be devoted to the fund. Mr. Durham ssys the trustees are of the opinion that the fund ahould be allowed to accumulate until there ia enough surplus to erect a fine structure, and then have the 975,000 for a permanent endowment fund. By that time tbe demand may be auch as to warrant tbe eetabliahment of a permanent dispensary.
