TERRE HAUTE, MARCH 28 1885.
THB new President has weakened, and now orders his breakfast served at nine o'clock.
MR. HENDRICKS has been "recognized" by the President. His man, Aqailla Jones, Sr., has been appointed postmaster at Indianapolis.
AN interesting and readable sketch of Fort Harrison, written for The Mail by Lion Dnddleeton, occupies the greater portion of the first page. fky
THB Detroit Post has been provoked to say "it is evident that no Democrat who was offensively partisan during the last campaign is going to get office."
THE appointment of Tom Hanlon Revenue Collector for this district is another of Mr. Cleveland's surprises. Don't be astonished, beloved Democrats, it he should go over to Maxville to get us a Postmaster.
THE New Jersey Legislature, by a -vote of 30 to 12, has passed a bill allowing the infliction of thirty lashes upon wife-beaters. The lash is a brutal mode of punishment—but then, the wifeJbeater is a brute.
A DEAL of quiet sarcasm will be found 4n the letter on progressive euchre, which we print on the first page. It iiafi a flavor of the Susan Per kin's letters. Perhaps Susan is masquerading under •an assurbed name.
IT is an uneventful week that one of our courts does not furnish a sensational Item for the newspapers. This week it was the Joab baby case, which but for the creditable action of one of the sheriffs deputies would doubtless have resulted in a terrible tragedy.
THE relations between England and Russia are still strained and critical and it is by no means certain that war will be avoided. Russia's reply on the Afghan frontier question is not satisfactory and England is preparing her naval forces for active service so as to be ready Jor any emergency that may arise.
THE Sunday base ball bill is again before the legislature, and has been amended so as tf prohibit only pijbfessonal games for admission fees, in which shape it has passed the Senate, and it is thought will become a law. The emergency clause is stricken out, and games can be played the greater part of this season.
THE new liquor law of Kansas pro~vides that all intoxicating liquors shall be sold only by druggists and all other places of sale are to be abolished, Druggists can only sell for medical, mechanical or scientific purposes and are prohibited from selling to any person whose relative has notified the druggist that he is addicted, to the use of intoxicants a* a beverage. Heavy fines are imposed for violations of the law. The new law is likely to give the drug business a bootn in Kansas, if it accomplishes no other result.
IF report Is true, Lotta, the favorite little actress, is soon to marry a young Englishman belonging to a titled family. She is to leave the stage, but has some engagements already made for next season which she may feel it her duty to fill. Theatre goers will regret to hear of this determination on the part of their favorite, for her disappearance from the stage would be a real loss to those (and they constitute the great majority ot the public) who enjoy the portrayal of bright and joyous juvenile •characters.
ON Monday the President filled four of the most important offices of the •country, outside the cabinet. He appointed Edward J. Phelps, of Vermont, minister to Great Britain Geo. R. Pendleton, of Ohio, minister to Germany Robert M. MoLane, of Maryland, min later to France and Henry R. Jackson, of Georgia, minister to Mexico, and on Wednesday he named Samuel S. Cox, of New York as minister to Turkey. These nominations have been well received by the press. All are recognised as strong, capable men, of excellent character, who will fill the important posts to which they have been called with credit to themselves and the government.

THB Atlanta Constitution, one of the ablest of the Democrats newspapers of the country, says that if no relief can be had at Washington, the Mormon Church will be compelled to respect the national law by doing away with plural marriages and that another year of Judge Kane's vigorous enforcement ot the laws will mark the downfall of "the twin relic." It looks very much that -way and It does not look atalli«though the administration at Washington wen likely to stand in the way at* Judge Kane's "crusade," unless It tuigt do so by removing that able and con «rfeotious officer and giving his place ,'o one who would not enforce the laws gainst polygamy. Mr. "Cleveland cannot kffbrd to do this and there la little probability •that be will.
DICTATOR Barrios is reported to be marching on San Salvador with an army of 15,000 men in face of the em phatic disapproval of both Mexico and the United States of his subjugating programme. He is likely to find that this protest will assume a more snbetan tial form than mere moral disapproval of his coarse should Barrios really posh his scheme so far as a resort to arms. The United States will not permit a subjugating war in Central America.
JUDGE GRESHAM has granted a writ of error in the cases of Mackin and Gal lagher, the Chicago ballot box stuflfers, and they have been released on $50,000 bail. This action, the judge explains, does not mean that judgment will be reversed, but only that certain questions have been raised which he regards sufficiently important to justify a re-exam-ination. The public will hope that no serious errors will eventually be found in the proceedings and that these wretched conspirators against the rights of the people will reap the just reward of their crime behind the bars of the State penitentiary. The health of the body politic will be promoted by a few examples of that kind.
MR. BLAINE predicts that Cleveland's independent course will rend his party asunder. If it does so much the better. Cleveland was never elected to any office by simply a party vote. When he was chosen mayor of the city of Buffalo it was by the aid of Republican votes. So when he was elected governor of New York and when be was elected President. Not having been elected by the party machinery it is natural and proper that he should not feel altogether bound to the party machine. If his own party shall not be satisfied with him because he is not partisan enough, the country will be all the better satisfied with blm, and will see that he is sustained in his efforts to serve the country rather than his party.
I-r is said the President is very much worried by the hullabaloo raised by the newspapers over the appointment of Eagene Higgins as appointment clerk of the Treasury department. Higgins is one of the last men that should have been given a place under the civil service rules, as be is a notorious ward politician and bummer and an unfit man on general principles. Of course Mr. Cleveland did not know this when the appointment was made and was greatly surprised at the developments which have been made since but Secretary Manning doubtless knew all or a good deal about Higgins when he selected him and in choosing him showed his contempt for the civil service rules. There seems a probability that Higgins may yet have to go, as the administration cannot afford to be loaded down at the very beginning with such vulnerable material. x.
THE Democratic party is now on trial before the judgment of the country. It has no certain lease of power beyond the year 1889. Whether or not it shall hold the reins of government for a second or subsequent term will depend upon the record which it makes. The national spirit is one of enterprise and progress. The American people will not long consent to remain in one position. We are never satisfied to rest on the victories of the past. No sooner is one chapter in the national history ended than anew one is begun. There are always new questions, new issues tcoming up for settlement. The party which takes the progressive side of these questions is the one that succeeds in the end. It is not natural for the Democracy to take that side. For many years it' has represented the conservative, non-progressive element of the country. It has made no aggressive movement, it has taken no advance ground. If this shall continue to be its policy in the future it will soon be left behind, for the country will insist upon going forward. The leaders of the Democracy now have a grand opportunity, but if they fail to realize and improve it the power will slip from their hands, no matter what efforts they may make to retain it.
IT is the common belief of the public that the woman suffragists attach an undue importance to the right of voting. As the Boston Herald well says, the whole question of suffrage is founded upon expediency not natural right. Government is a necessity and in order to have government there must be a system of voting. It seems more natural that men should do the voting than women and it Is really not necessary that both should do it. The members of either sex would probably do it as well as those of the other, but men are rather better suited to this kind of work than women, just as they are better anited for military duties. So far as the according to both sexes the same rights and the same opportunities in the material struggle for existence is concerned, there Is a steadily growing sentiment in this direction, and if the entrance of women into any profession, occupation or trade is now barred by statute the barrier is being rapidly re moved. Even the old disposition to deny the right of women to follow certain pursuits on the ground of unfitness for them is giving way to the sentiment that women have the right to prove by trial whether or not they are anited to a particular vocation which they may wish to follow. In short the whole field of professional, industrial and business life is now open to women and so tar as their talents and tastes Incline them they may do whatever they ttke or can. What mors could the right to vote give them than tbey already have
TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL
ONE of the subjects that will be watched with interest
under
the new ad
ministration will be its treatment of the Mdrmons. They have always been Democrats, and it is said that they look for a trade which will give them peace in return for political support. The efforts of tlfB Mormon leaders will be to obtain the removal of the present federal officers who hava shown themselves to be vigorously opposed to polygamy by enforcing the laws against it to the best of their ability. Charges will be trumped up against these officials and their removal demanded in the hope that others will be appointed who will be lees unfriendly to the obnoxious institution. If tbey fail in this it is believed that another removal is contemplated by the Mormons to escape the persecution which tbey have fled from several times before. In this event they would select a district in Mexieo bordering on the Gulf of California. The Slail does not believe that the new President will be inclined to favor Mormonism to any extent whatever, but that his policy will be to continue the enforcement of the laws in Utah as in every other part of the country. The publle sentiment of the nation is becoming more and more aroused on the Mormon question, and Mr. Cleveland is not the man to dibregard public opinion on such a question even if hiB own Inclinations ran counter to it, which is not likely the case in this instance.

IS
ANALYZING THE BAKING POWDERS.
"ROYAL" THE ONLY ABSOLUTELY PURE BAKING POWDER MADE-AC-TION OF THE NEW YORK STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH. Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds of baking powders, embracing all the brands that could be found for sale in the State, were submitted to examination and analysis by Prof. C. F. CHANDLER, a member of the State Board, and President of the New York City Board of Health, assisted by Prof. EDWARD G. LOVE,the well-known late United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that a large number of the powders examined were found to contain alum or lime many of them to such an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples. This drug is employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the im-
fture
cream of tartar of commerce used their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was also analyzed and found to contain lime and other impurities, in some samples to the extent of 93 per cent of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market, with the single exception of "Royal" (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which were long since discarded as unsafe or inefficient by prudent housekeepers) are made from the impure cream of tartar of commerce, and consequently contain lime to a corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime ana absolutely pure is the "Royal."* This perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent proems of the N. Y. Tartar Co., which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much better than any other, and on account of this greater cost is used in no baking powder but the "Royal."
Prof. LOVE, who made the analysis of baking powders for tbe New York State Board of Health, as well as for the Government, says of the purity and wholesomeness of "Royal "I have tested a package of 'Royal Baking Powder' which I purchased in the open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or any injurious substances. ««E# G. LOVE, Ph. D.» ___________ i5 Kelieffrom Malarial Poison, if
For six months past I have been affected with a very serious case of typhoid malaria, which I contracted on my orange grove in northwestern Florida. I tried several remedies, but ever failed me. Two weeks ago I purch a bottle of Swift's Specific, which has proved a sure cure for this dreadful malady. I bad almost given up hope of ever being well again, for I had tried so many remedies, all of which had failed to do any good. Would to God that all the afflicted people residing in the malarious counties of Georgia, Florida and Alabama would read this and try the S. S. S. instead of dosing themselves with quinine and mineral remedies. I feel it my duty to suffering humanity to write this certificate, for it may be the means of many of my old friends trying this reat remedy as I have done. So Btrong my faith in it that in every oase where the directions are followed I will guarantee a sure cure or forfeit one hundred dollars. CHAS. D. BARKER, Publisher.
