TERRE HAUTE, JUNE 6 1886.

THBEB seconds only for a cable message to travel from London to New York. The world is not near so big as it used to be.

GEORGIA has alrealy begun shipping peaches to the New York market. They are of the sort the cholera plague deLights in. We hope they will not be inflicted on this section for some time yet.

THE postmistress at Napoleon, Michigan, is determined to keep the postofflce in the family. She has headed off the appointing power by marrying the Democrat whc is to be appointed her successor.

THE cholera has been declared epidemic in the province of Valencia, Spain. From there it can easily get to the United States and there is every prospect that it will do so before the end of the sum-

6KRIGOS Indian troubles are feaied in Arizona. The red scamps have killed a number of people and committed other outrages. Oen. Crook thinks the outlook is bad and that the outbreak will be bard to suppress, as the Indians have divided up into small parties.

LITTLE Connecticut, selling her 3 per cent, bonds at a price slightly above par, is a shining example of the value of good character on the part of a State. Her financial record is without spot or blemish and because of this fact her credit among borrowers is inferior only to that of the United States Government.

THIS time it is staid old Philadelphia that contributes to the bad bank failure. Experts are going through the Sbackaoiaxon bank and the deeper they go down the worse the business looks. It was found that $1,400 was received in a •ingle day which was not entered on the books of the bank. Rascality of a high degree will be developed.

Miss MARY H. KROUT, of Crawfordsville, has written a play entitled "A Man in the House," which has made a local hit and has the promise of a wider success. Mrs. Lew Wallace, herself a writer and a fine judge of such productions, speaks of the play in the highest terms of commendation. Miss Krout is widely known in the literary world as a bright, piquant and cultured writer.

IT has been fonnd that the pay roll of the New York Custom-house can be cnt down from |25fl,000 to f227,000 a month without detriment to the publie service. This is a saving of something like J850,000 a year in a single establishment. If there are many government offices where similar cuts can be made "the burdens of the people" may be lightened sfter all by the new administration.

WITH that benevolent enterprise which characterizes the New York press, the World haa provided the boys of that great city with a free ball ground for use on Sundays. It was opened last Sunday. A boat carries the boys tree to and from the grounds which are located at some distance from the oity. The boys are put upon their good behavior and in the event of disorderly conduct the privilege of the grounds may be revoked by the owner at any time.

THK New York World's fund the Bartholdl statue podestal now exceeds |68,"000. Amounts from ten cents up are being sent in from all parts of thecountry. The World's view of the matter is that «a the statue is the gift of the entire people of France, the pedestal should be built by the contributions of the people of thl$ country. Whatever else may be said of this reasoning, it lets the New

York millionaires down easily and garceiully from the awkward position of having let the pedestal go begging of the whole country.

THE Hon. George W. Julian has at lust got his reward after to long a time. On last Monday the President appoint «d him Surveyor General of New Mex ico. The office would hardly seem to be in proportion to the colossal dignity of Mr. Julian, but small favors are thankfully received from this administration by Indian* Democrats. There •re not enough office# to go round at best and those that are have been going round Indiana as a general rule. Under all the circumstances we suppose Mr. Julian may properly be congratulated

THERE appears to be some foundation tor the belief that our navy has not been managed with superlative wisdom and economy. In word it is possible tbat there has been some jobbery in connection with it. If, Secretary Whitney has stated, about three time* as much money was spent in repairing an old modern ship as a new one would have coet of similar ai«e and build, there may or may not have been crookedness in the transaction, but it is wry certain that there was a lack of wisdom ahown In the performance. As these repairs were made under the administration of Secretary Chandler, a statement from him which would throw additional light upon the subject has been expected, hot ha* not as yet made It* appearance.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean makes a strong point in favor of the newspaper reporters by showing that the exposure and final punishment of bad men is often due to their efforts. So it was in the case of Police Sargeant Crawley, of New York, who was sentenced to seventeen years imprisonment for assaulting a defenseless girl. The reporters kept on bis track day and night until they were able to expose his rascally record. And so it haa been in the cases of Mackin and Gallagher, the Chicago ballot- box thieves. Tbey look upon the reporters as their worst enemies and hold them responsible largely for their detection. As a matter of course reporters sometimes get on thjo wrong scent they make mistakes, (the only wonder is that they ddb't make more,) but in the main they are fonnd ranged against the criminal classes and working for their exposure and punishment. As the Inter Ocean strongly puts it: "He is the true detective of the city, and about the only one who can be relied upon to act fearlessly in defense of justice." ___________

WITH the possible, not to say probable, coming of the cholera this summer, interest in all kinds of sanitary precautions deepens. Discossing the best methods of disposing of household garbage, the New York Herald urges the burning of it as the safest way of getting rid of its contaminating influences. In London and perhaps in some other European cities, large lurnaces are constructed which are capable of consuming many wagon loads of garbage each day, but as such institutions are not accessible here something else must be resorted to. With a little care ol management the kitchen range may be made to do effective service in consuming the waste mateiialof the household. Many a dish of slops which are thrown into the yaid or alley to breed disease by their decay might, with a little effort, be reduced to harmless ashes in the stove. Potato parings and other waste vegetable matter by being first dried in the oven for a few minutes can be easily made to burn. There is a little trouble involved in all this to be sure, but whatever tends to preserve health and banish disease is .wortli, fll the tropble it may cost.

THE Indianapolis Journal makes the point (which will apply as well to this and many other cities) that the public schools are being seriously injured by the over-dressing of the children of the wealthier classes. People of small means cannot afford to dress their boys in tailor-made suits of the latest fashion and their girls in stylish silks. The result is the boys and girls who are more poorly dressed feel shabby and distressed beside their stylish companions. Children are very sensitive about such things and as they have not had sufficient experience in life to understand the situation intelligently, they are filled erroneous and harmful ideas. Both classes of pupils are injured by the contrast. The poor children feel hurt and embittered and the well dressed ones are rendered |proud and domineering. As the public schools are specially intended for the education of tlie masses, it should be the aim of parents to avoid doing anything to injure tbem in any way. The Journal suggests that it would be a good thing if the1 well-to-do citizens woufd adopt the rule of sending their daughters to school it? gingham and calico and require their boys to wear their clothes for Bome time alter they begin to show oearks of use. Who can doubt it .. vi

MR. CLEVELAND is surprising some prominent men to his party jus* now. Hitherto he has taken it for granted that gentlemen who recommend applicants for appointment, or whose names were attached to the petitions of audh persons, really desired their appointments and intended to voach for their fitness. He has been grievously imposed upon in several instances. Men who have failed in private life and who are unfit for public places of trust, have been recommended by politicians simply because of their party associations, and when the President has given theia-ap-pointments he has found that they were not fit to have them. A recent casewas that of a Colorado man, who had actually been in the static* house at Washington for drunkenness just before- his appointment, yet he bad been strongly recommended by the delegation from his State. The President is not disposed to be thus deceived and has given netice to the politicians that hereafter he' will hold them responsible for the charaetera and fitness of the men they recommend This rule is likely to stand him in good stead and to reduce somewhat the worse than hydraulic pressure to which be ba been subjected by office-seeker* and their friends.

INDICATIONS point to the partial failure of M«s. Woodworth, the trance evangelist, in Kukomo. While her meetings have been largely attended the people "don't catch on" to any great extent and her method of saving the world by the cataleptic route is not considered favorably. Some nervous, hysterical people are in sympathy with the evan gelist, but they are the exceptions, Hitherto Mr*. Woodwurth's great sueceeaee have been scored in small towna into which the country people have flocked In large numbers, and in regiohs where there is lack of amusement and a diversity of subjects to engage the mind

In larger towns where the circumstances are different it is doubtful if she will have much success. And it will be to the cndlt of intelligence and sound judgment if she does not, for it must he said that her methods savor too modi tH ibe superttlUoas of a century ago to

be received with favor in this age of enlightened intelligence. Without intending any disparagement to Mrs. Wood-* worth's honesty of purpose and sincere desire to do good, we must be permitted to express the opinion that the lees religion of tbat kind there is in the world the better. The tendency of the race is forward, not backward. The age of witchcraft, religious epilepsy, jerkings, shakings, trances and all that, has been left behind iu the march of rational and scientific progress, and we do not want to go back to it. We see now that it was foolish and erroneous- we want no more ot it. 1 he religion of common sense and reason is the religion for to-day, as it was the religion which Christ preach ed on the mountain two thousand years ago. :7..

THERE will be "music in tlie air," when the Senate meets next winter, over the question of confirming some of the President's appointments. In several instances the President haa obviously been led into the selection of objection able men by the recommendations of prominent Democratic politicians and it is very doubtful whether the Republican majority in the Senate will agree to confirm the appointments in such cases, But it will not do for the Republicans to be captions and hypercritical, for snch a course will alienate the sympathy of the country from them. The President is entitled to courteous and respectful treatment at the hands of the Senate and to have the men whom he has selected for the various offices confirmed unless there is some really substantial reason why tbey should not be.

THE wheat crop is having a hard time of it to be sure. What little was left by the winter's cold has now been attacked in many places by the Hessian fly, that most deetructive of all its enemies. In southern Kansas and in Maryland whole fields are ruined and hundreds of acres are being plowed up for millet or some other late crop. The shortage in wheat must of necessity be very great this year and it is not likely to be a drug in the market as it was last. Luckily there is an immense surplus on band, not only in this country but in the old world and the only effect of a short prop will be to advance the price somewhat.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company have issued a remarkably handsome and interesting book descriptive of ram mer excursion routes on that road This work is profusely embellished vitb fine cuts, illustrative of Mountain, Lake and Seaside," and has several very fine maps of all the country traversed by the road and its connctions. The letter press descriptive of all the prominent and attractive resorts of the country is succinct, yet full, while the illustrations are really fine specimens of high srt. Besides the valuable information the book contains, it being a compete directory o! time-table ansfl a goicfeto travelers, it is a beautiful spwlaen of the typographical art.

TERRE HA XJTE TO NEW YORK.

LETTER FROM REV. J. K. WHEELER.

SARATOGA, N. Y., May 27.

'Editor Saturday Evening Mail: It seems as though Terre Haute were a great way off, but when one reflects that now we measure distances not by miles but by hours, it seems not so far. To take your seat of an afternoon in the parlor car of the Yandalia line, and be told tbat the car will run through to

New York city without change, rnd that the following afternoon you will arrive in the great Metropolis—this brings the east near. And so it is. Only see! Two o'clock and little past, the trains pull out of Terre Haute and off to Indianapolis, and so you bid farewell to the Hoosier capital. Supper is served even in your car in fine style and as you eat you also fly. Sunset, and you come swinging into the city of Richmond, where you wait long enough for a few reflections at the close of the day, on the journey before you of the busi ness, the interests, the friends, the loved ones and the little home behind. So the shadows fall and away from the red and fading west into the darker east the train moves on—on into and across the Buckeye State, while you have slept, or else listened to some other sn— sleeper near at hand.

No matter now—it's morning and you are thundering into Pittsburg on an elevated railroad. Like men I have known—Pittsburg smokes all the time. Iron mills, blast furnaces, volcanic smoke stacks, leaping flames of natural gas, more smoke, giant locomotives with six or eight drive wheels, monsters tbat eat coal and breathe steam, and have more stomach for water than a camel, puffing and blowing—this is the bright prospect which greets you as you pull into Pittsburg, where you watt twenty minutes (it seemed that long to one man I met there) for breakfast.

And now for the Pennsylvania railway, with its double steel track through the length of the State, up the hill, over the mountains, following as if in wild sport the twisting, turning, wayward, wanton waters of the "Blue Juniata," crossing and crossing again, here we are to the sharp turn and now on the down grade sweeping around tbe famous "Horse Shoe Bend." If you wish scenery, look out of the window!

In the afternoon we keep company for awhile with the happy Susquehannab, crossing at last the long iron bridge, wben in comes the brakeman crying out "Harrisburg! change cars for Washington

Harrisburg! This is the bome of Simon and Don. Yonder on the hill, almost hidden by the thick trees,, is the bold solid stone mansion of tbe Cameroos, who have been, as father and son, tbe political autocrats for BO many years, of this commonwealth. Whether Don will put AM* son into the United States Senate, who can tell?

At sundown, the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, crowding now near a million people, yet quiet, good natured, easy going, always "on its manners," never rash, a good place to stay over night. Brick walks, brick walls, fronting on the very street, solid wooden bUsds, with heavy, old-fasbioned hinges, white marble steps to the sidewatfs.. City of Pbnn, I love thee!'

In the morning* I move on. "Two hoais from New York." But what's the-matter There is a stir, a rush, the air seems intense, electric. Conductor —passenger—shxiking engine—flying train—a mile a minute. It tell you it's the-last leap of tbe pulse to the life center—to the mitfhty heart of this land. You* see it, feel it, breath it, tremble with it—it is the- thrill of New YorkNew York with an individuality of its own BO marked^ and a life so intense BO strong, that yon loose sight almost of the two great cities on either side—Jersey City and Brooklyn, together about eqpal to the population of the* great overshadowing. Metropolis.

Only see, as lisaid a moment ago, how .war the east is—a day and you are I there.
