TKRRE HAUTE, APRIL 111886.

GENERAL GHAUT'S condition is apparently unchanged from that of a week ago. Bat the cancer in bis throat is steadily spreading and the end most sorely come within a few days.

PROHIBITION has received another black eye in the defeat of Judge Cooley ia Michigan. He ran on the Republi can ticket bat was known as a pronounced prohibitionist, a fact to which he probably owes bis defeat, as his name should have lent exceptional strength to the ticket by reason of his high legal attainments and wirie reputation,

HENRY IRVIHO'S second tour in America, which closed in New York on last Saturday, is said to have netted him $150 000. He was his own manager and did much better than when under the management of Mr. Abbey last sea son. The fortunate actor can have fine time during tbe summer and return to fleece our people next winter, unless he can find a richer field to pluck, which he probably cannot.

ON the whole tbe spring municipal elections seem to favor tbe Democrats. Although the Republicans carried Cin clnnati, electing their candidate for Mayor, the Democrats re-elect Mayor Harrisonin Chicago defeat Judge Cooley, of national fame, in Michigan, carry tbe oities of Madison and Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, and elect their Mayor in St. Louis. In Evansville, thin State, tbe Democrats gained a sweeping victory, electing tbeir entire ticket by over a thousand majority.

SOME miserable gossip recently set afloat a rumor that Mrs. Garfield wan contemplating another marriage. 1 he stoiy was a cruel falsehood, and tbe lady has been greatly hurt by it. She denies it with indignation, adding that the report seems as much an insult to her as it would be if her late husband were still living. It is one of the misfortunes incident to distinguished position that one is made the target for all the arrows of malice and falsehood. After all that Mrs. Garfield has suffered she at least, it would seem, ought to be excepted from injuries like this.

A BALTIMORE paper In its quarterly review of tbe industrial progress of tbe South for the first quarter of 1885, shows great activity in manufacturing enterprises in tbat section notwithstanding the dull times. The aggregate capital invested in new concerns and tbe enlargement of old ones has been |30,000,000, divided among gold, copper, Iron, coal and tin mining, foundries, machine shops, etc. *As to States, Kentucky leads with over seven millions, Maryland comes next with $3,400,000, then Alabama 92,035,000, Virginia, »1,222.000. It would appear from these figures that the boom in the New South is still on.

CERTAIN Massachusetts gentlemen who helped to win tbe free soil fight in Kansas in 1854 and 1855, have orguuized a company to carry on the same scheme in Utah. The company is known as tbe Utah Emigrant Aid and Improvement Company and the plan is to at=si"t emigrants to go to Utah and settle on government lands. Of course the people who are assisted to go there will not have any sympathy with polygamy and by this means it is hoped to get a large anti-polygamous element into the territory. Some of the men who are concerned in the movement are wealthy and are willing to speud fr«ely of their own moans in pushing the movement.

THK war in Central America does not promise to be very formidable. Hostilities have been suspended for a month, perauinably to give the States an opportunity to decide whether they want to enter a Union or not. Major Burke, of New Orleans, who is director general of the exposition, and one of the best posted men in the country on Central America affairs, is of the opinion that a union of the States is very desirable, which is doubtless the case, the only question being whether the strongest States should be allowed to subjugate the weaker ones In order that su« ha uniou might be accomplished. Tbe

policy

of this country has been to prevent such a subjugation.

TALMAOK IS announced to preach on the subject of roller skating to-morrow. The sermon will be awaited with more than usual interest, particularly from the fact that he haa thrown out In advance some ideas on the subject of amusements. He is not inclined to condemn amusements generally in the sweeping manner in which many preachers and church people do, declaring tbat the religion of don't never saved a single soul, and tbat^wbeo public teachers disconmge an amusement which has a hold upon the popular heart they should be prepared to pot something better in its place. There is good sound sense in this view and it will meet a warm response from tbe majority of thinking people. There la quite too modi "don't" religion in eorne of the churches, and a sad lack of tbe d* klod. It to WWe doctrine that "the letter kllleth but tbe «plrit §lvetb life."

THE cry comes up tbat Mr. Cleveland'® course is disrupting the New York Democracy and tbat tbe Empire State will probably elect a Republican Governor this fall. There is great soreness among the rank and file of tbe party over tbe re-appointment of Pea son as postmaster of New York City, and the failure to get expected offices. This is in all likelihood a false alarm. For every Democrat who leaves the party for such reasons there will be five come to it from tbe great mass of independent voters who are concerned more for an honest snd fair administration of the Government than the success of one party or tbe other. This large body of voters is continually increasing as the issues which divide parties are becoming less marked and important. It was tbe existence of such a class tbat rendered Cleveland's election possible and he naturally feels tbat they are entitled to some respect and consideration, ____—-

Miss ADD*E SWEET,the pension agent at Chicago, is not so sweet as her name would apply. At least so tbe commissioner of pensions probably thinks by this time. Wishing to put a good Democrat in her place the commissioner requested Mi*s Sweet to resign, sugaring the request with tbe assurance tbat her personal and official conduct had been faultless and tbat she had discharged tbe duties of tbe office to tbe entire satisfaction of tbe department. This was was very kind of tbe commissioner, but Miss Sweet did not take the "taffy." She promptly wrote the commissioner tbat sbe might be ejected from the office if the President saw proper to pursue such a course, but that sbe would not voluntarily resign. Miss Sweet seems to think that tbe office is a good enough thing for her and sbe proposes to bold on to it as long as she can. As her time does not expire until some time next year it will be'interesting to see what course the commissioner will pursue in her case. Having committed himself to tbe statement tbat no cause for removal exists against her, he will hardly dare violate tbe spirit of the civil service rules so far as to remove her without cause and the probabilities are tbat tbe plucky women will bold the office until tbe expiration of her term.

THE reports tbat come from the famine districts of West Virginia are of the most distressing character. It appears that many, people moved from Ohio into tbat State last spring and exhausted tbeir means in tbe purchase of farms and In putting out their crops. Then came such a drouth as was never before known in that region, no rain falling from June until November. The ground was so parched that tbe crops were almost a total failure, and tbe winter came on with the people in a very impoverished condition. Without food or the means of procuring it, the nnfortnnate people were obliged to subsist upon anything they could get tbat would sustain life. Tbe result has been a vast amount of sickness of a very fatal character, and an inconceivable amount of distress and suffering. Tbe local authorities have done something to supply the starving people with food, but the relief has been entirely inadequate. It seems almost incredible tbat in a country like this, where the food supply is far beyoud the capacity of the people to consume, and tbe granaries and warehouses are bursting with plenty, there should be people actually starving for the necessaries of life. The fact is far from creditable to the wealthy towns and cities in tbe near vicinity of the sufferers, whose citizens should long ago have known and relieved their wants by liberal contributions.

THE war news from Europe has been very stirring during tbe past three days. The report, which has been confirmed, of a sharp engagement between the Russian forces and tbe Afghans, resulting in the defeat of the latter, is thought to destroy tbe last hope of a peaceful settlement of the differences between Russia and England, and that a war is now almost inevitable. The war feeling iu London is very strong, and there is almost a universal demand for an Immediate declaration of war. The New York and Chicago-markets were sharply affected by the news of the battle, and wheat advanced about five cents In one day. The war which is now almost certain to come Is likely to be along continued and bloody one. There are about 100,000 men on each side already near the scene of action, and additional troops will be hurried forward as rapidly as possible. Tbe military resources of each country are enormous. Each has a large standing army of the finest soldiers in tbe world, and they are splendid fighters. Tbe territory in which the conflict will begin is wild and mountainous, affording great natural obstructions to military movements and enabling a small force to cope with a large one and hold it in bay. The news of this war has been heard with regret throughout Christendom, and will be a sad disappointment to tbe thousands who hoped and believed tbat it would be possible hereafter to settle international disputes without recourse to the sword.

HRSRY GKOROK, rendered famous by his book "Progress and Poverty," lectured in Indianapolis on Wednesday evening to a large and deeply Interested audience. Mr. George ia tbe new evangelist of labor and tbe rights of tbe poor. The foundation stone of bis doetrine is tbat there should be no permanent Individual ownership In land, and no land monopoly. He believes tbe ownership of tbe land by tbe few and Its descent from parent to child continuously Is the cMefjaKH^! the excessive

wealth of the few and tbeabjeet poverty of the many. There is great progress but there ia also great proverty. Beside groaning warehouses people are starving. Men progress but pauperism and insanity increase. With new inventions tbe power of production is the constantly increasing, but the complaint of bard times grows louder and men are harrassed by care and haunted by human wants. In this land of wealth there are children who have to work but who have no time to play. Such is tbe substanoe of Mr. George's indictment against the present system. It is true. It must be confessed. But what is the remedy, or is there any remedy Mr. George thinks there is and that the abolition of land ownership is that remedy. While few may agree fully with him In this, his ideas are entitled to respectful hearing and careful 1 vestigation. He is earnest and sincere in bis cause and his cause is a good one—none better. All fair minded men must admit that the inequality between the rich and tbe poor is too great and all right hearted men will agree tbat justice and fair dealing can do to lesson this inequality ought to be done. Mr. George's books should have a wide reading and his arguments be subjected to an honest and thorough examination.

FAST TIME.

The changes in running of trains on the Vandalia and Pennsylvania route to the east, mentioned last week, were successfully inaugurated on Monday. The most notable of these changes is the Introduction of a "limited train," such as has been run from New York to Chicago. A "limited" train takes its name from the fact that the accommodations are limited that is to say, the train is lightened and stripped to bare necessities for hauling a comparatively few through passengers in first olass style at an unusually rapid speed. The speed of these trains is something to wonder at. Time and space are practically annihilated. For example, the limited leaves New York city at 10 o'clock a. m., and the next morning lands its passengers in this city at 10.13, covering tbe entire distance, nine hundred miles, In twentyfour hours, tbe fastest long-distance train in the world. Goit east, tbe "limited" passes here from St. Louis at 3 20 p. m. and lands its passengers in New York tbe next evening at five minutes before seven o'clock.

This train has caused a commotion among officers of rival roads, and there are threats of cutting rates in order to compel tbe Vandalia and Pennsylvania line to slacken its sj^d. With its shorter routes and splenqK equipments, its time cannot ba eqofln by any competing line, and it wifWptomptly meet any cut tbat may be mad£ ||j|

Our city is fortunate in^being located on this great through route from east to west, recognized as being composed of the best equipped, best oiganized and best managed railroads in the United States, Its greatest claim upon public lie confidence is in the perfection of its system and its safety. These roads stand at the bead of "rapid transit" lines in this country. Tbeir officers have solved the problem of speed, comfort and safety. ", *v

THE PRESIDENTS SISTER.

MISS CLEVELAND ON THE ROSTRUM -SOME THOUGHTS SUGGESTED BY HER LECTURE.

In June, 1883, Miss Elizabeth Cleveland, present mistress of the White House, delivered an address before tbe Elmlra, N. Y., Female College, which tbe Presbyterian Evangelist pronounced "great,"—a deserved compliment to an excellent woman. It was entitled "Altrustic Faith," and for her Illustration sbe took Cbedidja, first wife of Mobammed, who was rich, and mnch older than he was when she married him. When asked in later years why he did not put ber away and take a younger wife, be replied tbat he loved her best because she believed in him when all men despised bim. Cbedldja's faltb made Mohammed.

There Is faith In God, faith in self, and in humanity. Tbe first produces the others. Faith hi humanity believes that life is worth living and worth saving. You will have much hunger and thirst, will crave affection when the bloom of youth is supplanted by tbe asben hue of age will cry aloud for help in infirmities, must needs come, because those on whom women rely, though themselves powerless to relieve them of their intolerable aches, pains, proetrations, sleepless nights of agony, aud days of distress—because of narrowness of tbeir code and the selfihness of their purpose,—restrain them from resorting to those agencies which may lift women to a plane of greater usefulness, and to a nobler life.

Many a woman lacks tbe faith of Cbedidja. If tbey had faith in their own reserve of physical power, confidence in the personal experience of others who follow and instead of a race of suffering mortals,—slaves to tbe prejudices of those whose only interest in them is bounded by their professional fees,— we should see nobility of station reinforced by nobility of mind, and robustness of fife.

Tbe power to rid themselves of tbe aches, pains and desperate despair which afflict them, 'is in women, and ought to cume out. You all have a countless amount of testimony.' Some one will say to you "Go on, and you will conquer." "How?" Do as your sisters have done! Have faith in their indisputable experiences. We want more life and fuller, and need all tbe help we can get. Man would fail were it not for the Chedldias. There Is much in good digestion to keep a woman sweet and lovable. There is more In thorough action of tbe great blood pnrifying organs—the liver and kidneys, for if tbey are deranged women can not have tbe physical comfort so enved and prayed for. Tosecnre this, tbe help tbey need,—tbe help that thousands have already used and to which they say tbey owe all tbey posts Warner's safe cure. Mrs. Maria C. Tread well, Stanford, Conn., (President of tbe State Woman's Christian Temperance Union) a well known leader, says Mt Is tbe only thing which seemed to reach my case.1 These unprejudiced thousands have blessed the world be-

csuse they have become Chedidjas. who have felt it their duty to declare their own faith and to inspire their staters with confidence in the extraordinary upbuilding energy of his wonderful discovery.

Miss Cleveland has evidently an original and fertile mind, and we are indebted to her interesting lecture a few thoughts from which we have copied,— for a text out of which the above suggestions bavegrown. -tr —The Indianapolis Times the other day devoted two columns space to an illustrated sketch of W. G. Sherman's elegant restaurant and business lunch room. It is a place the Indianapolis people are proud of, and the people of the surrounding towns sre fast finding out that its ceokery is equal if not superior to tbe first class hotels, the service elegant, prompt and attentive and the prices reasonable. It is situated 'on Meridian street, just south of Washington street. Call on Mr. Sherman when you go to Indianapolis.

The uuderslgned respectfully calls tbe attention of former patrons, and the public in general, to the fact that in succeeding to tbe business of the liim heretofore existing as Buntln & Aimstrong, and which was established by bim In 1871, at his present cent *al location, Cor. Main and Sixth Streets, he will continue, with enlarged facilities, the manufacture of those Standard Pharmaceutical Preparations and Specialties originated by him, and made under his personal supervision during the past twelve years. Being the first to manufacture in the West, and introduce to the market tbat class of medicines known as Fine Pharmaceutical Products, he takes pride in the assurance that years of trial have proven his own productions esce'led by none.

His present stock of Drugs, Chemicals, Appliances, Druggists' Sundries, Toilet Specialties, and Physicians' Supplies, is one of the most comprehensive in tbe Stale. Adding to this tbe advantage of long experience and extensive business connections with the largest dealers and the best manufacturers in the country, well qualifies him for supplying the trade, the phvslclan and the consumer with almost everyining demanded in the drug business and the mcdical profession.

Orders will receive prompt attention., Yours Very Truly, i-j W. C. BUNTIN,

Successor to Buntin & Armstrong.
