LOUD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL is the most American-looking of all the members of tho new Tory cabinot. And it way bo added that ho is also tho livest.

CINCINNATI is enjoyed in the good work of putting her Joe Mackins whore thoy belong—behind the prison bars. It is hot work for tho dog days but it is awfully good work.

ONE of tho younger Vanderbilts has sont a $1,000 check to tho children's fresh uir fund. The inheritor of millions could not have spent a thousand dollars in any better way than that.

Tit school census of Chicago indicates a population of 725,000, an increase of nearly. 100,000 in tho last two years. This may bo a llttlo largo, but if Chicago were only growing half that fast it would be fast enough.

A ooon story is told of Dr. Burchard. Passing through tho Now Jersey lunatic asylum tho other day, ho recognized one of tho inmates as the son of a former parishonor. "Well, what brings you here?" asked tho good doctor. "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion," promptly responded the patient as he simply winked at the warden. Tho Doctor simply Bald "Ah," and passed on.

Miss RONR CLEVELAND has been heard from through tho columns of Literary Lifo. Sho tolls tho Chicagoeso that Dante "opons chasms of spiritual vitalities all along tho immortal lifo of his Hell, and Purgatory and Paradise," and that "such is tho grand cori elation of forces, such tho ratio of tho radius of tho littlo inside circle to tho inclusivo curve of the infinite circumference," with moro of the samo sort. Chicago is a great city. Perhaps it can stand this kind of thing.

THK death of Frnna Lisist removes one of the most celebrated of modern com posers and musicians. .Born in 1811, he had attained moro than the allotted period of three score years and ten. Ho was, liko Moxart, a musical prodigy by birth, giving astonishing exhibitions of his power when only nine years old. .Besides being a performer of marvelous brilliancy on the piano, I.is*t was a prolific musical composer. It Is seldom that a programme of classical music is arranged which does not contain the name of Lisutt.

SOMK idiot who evidently ought to be in the lunatic asylum, has written what he calls "The Apocalypse In Evolution and the Book of Daniel In

terpretation."'

THK

number of accidental drownings

this summer has been large although not larger -perhaps than usual. There has been no groat disaster carrying hundred# to a watery grave at once, as sometimes but there have been many deplorable Cftsea wher« one or more persons have lost their lives in pleasure Ixmts or at bathing. One year with another it appears that some five thousand people are accidentally drowned in the United State*, by far the largest part of whom meet death in the mere pursuit of pleasure. And the wonder is, not that there are so man v, but that ihere are not more, when the rwkleaanew with which the treacberoa element Is tempted Is aldered. People who are utterly Ignorant of the water and of the management of boats, risk the Uvea of women and children in them, not having sense enough to roalbte the danger t© which

they are subjecting them. Experienced boatmen understand this and will not incar such risks. The only safe thing for those who do not understand the water is to keep off of it. To the old "water dog" it may be safe enough, but to those who cannot swim any accidfent upon it is very likely to result in a drowning.

SAMUEL J. TILDEN.

The death of Mr. Tilden, which occurred on Wednesday morning, was as unexpected as that of Mr. Hendricks or that of John Kelley. He had been ailing but a few days and his condition was not considered dangerous until a few hours before his death. He died from failure of the heart to act, doubtless by reason of debility.

In the going out of the life of Mr. Tilden the greatest of living Democrats has passed away. Although for some years he had lived in retirement, his influence and ideas were always felt in the councils of his party, whose leading men habitually consulted him in the seclusion of Oreystone. He was undoubtedly a very able man, both as a lawyer and a politician. As to the peculiar characteristics of his mind, Mr. Blaine, in his "Twenty Years in Congress," gave perhaps as clear and correct a summary as would be possible, in these words: "Adroit, ingenious, and wary, skillful to plan and strong to execute, cautious in judgment and vigorous in action, tactiturn and mysterious as a rule and yet singularly open and frank on occasions, resting on the old traditions yet leading in new pathways, surprising in the force of his blows and yet leaving a sense of reserved power. Mr. Tilden unquestionably ranks among tho greatest masters of political management that our day has seen."

With the old leaders thus passing away the Democratic, party will fall into the hands of younger men, who may perhaps, by their greater impetuosity and more radical ideas, win for it an extended lease of life and power.

EUROPEAN WOMEN.

In his letter from Switzerland, Mr. Henry Watterson says that the stranger in that country will be struck at once by the beauty of the country and the ugliness of the women. The former is indescribable,' while among the latter a pretty face is rarely seen. The reason is obvious. The women do all the drudgery and heavy labor. They till the fields and supply tho markets. They are hitched to carts by tho side of dogs and goats. 'She is put to work in her childhood and before she reaches her maturity she looks liko a grandmother, wrinkled and weather-beaten, bent and care-worn." The men, great, strapping fellows, lie around, lazy and idle. It seems hard to realize that in a country so beautiful and charming as Switzerland, and in the midst of the Nineteenth-century enlightenment, thero should be such an abuse of womanhood. Yet it is much tho same in portions of France, in Austria, Germany and Belgium, and in other countries of the old world. It is a shame and a disgrace upon humanity that such a state of things should exist, but so it has long been and probably will long continue to be. Far different indeed is the condition of the average American women, although even In this country tho relations of the sexes have by no means reached an Ideal perfection.

THE ANARCHIST TRIAL. In the trial of the anarchists at Chicago this has been the seventh week and has boon devoted to hearing evidence for the defense. There has been nothing very notable or Interesting in the charactor of tho testimony. The effort has been to show that the Haymarket meeting was a peaceable assombly of citizens and that tho police were tho aggressors in making the attack upon it.

This theory cannot be sustained. It has beon clearly shown that the police did not fire a gun until the terrible bomb had beeu exploded among them, killing and wounding a score. If they had not fired upon tho rioters then they would not havo been human.

So far tho strong case of the State has not been practically weakened. The class of witnesses called by the defense are not suc)pm to make a strong impression. Many of them are socialists or socialistic sympathisers. So mo of them belong to the same societies of which the men on trial are members. They have often heard the prisoners speak at secret or public meetings and have a personal interest in seeing them acquitted. The testimony of such witnesses. will not have great weight with the jury, no mat ter how many of them may be called.

CONORRSSMAN GLASS, of Tennessee, says ho is going to introduce a bill next winter to prohibit any member of Congress from accepting a railroad pass over any line In the country. The bill might pass but it hardly will. It would be a good thing to stop this jaunting about over the country of Congressmen on free passes, especially when they get from the Government in the way of mileage a round sum of money for railroad fare which they never pay. But it is too soft a thing for tbese gentlemen to give up of their own accord. Mr. Glass's bill will probably prove as frail as its author's name and will be smashed into smithereens by his thicker-skinned colleagues.

TKXXYWON, it is announced, will soon issue another volume of poems, among which will be a continuation of "Lockslev Hall.** This was one of the poet's first and greatest successes. It struck a popular chord that made It Instantly and widely popular. It is probably a poor wisdom that leads Ttennyson, at his present time of life, to undertake the task of adding to lu But this effort will not be lacking in Interest. ^$4'-

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.

A VALUABLE DISCUSSION. The Forum for August contains two articles of real value on the labor 'question. One of them, by the Rev. Geo. Batchelor, entitled "The Revolt of the Majority," takes rather a pessimistic view of the situation. The argument of this writer is that the great mass of the people, the poor, the lowly, the workers with their hands, are begining to realize that they have not hitherto had their full share in the good things of life and will demand that justice be done them. Something, they feel, although they may not be able to tell what it is, stands between them and the comforts and luxuries which others obtain, and they are askftig why they cannot have some of them too. Mr. Batchelor predicts a great social revolt by the dissatisfied majority, in an effort to gain what they believe to be their rights.

The other article, by Andrew Carnegie, is quite the reverse of this. He gives the Result of the Labor Struggle" as of much less importance than has commonly been supposed and takes a bright and cheerful of the future, Yet he is in sympathy, too, with the workingmen and hopes that they may better their condition in every practicable-way. But he thinks that such improvement must come slowly and little by little, not by rapid strides. That was the mistake of the eight-hour movement. It demanded to much at the first. He believes the hours of labor will be still further shortened but it will be by half-hours, and pot by two-hours reductions at a time. He praises the workingmen for standing by their leader and says that by proper treatment this loyalty can be transferred to employers themselves. His views are eminently sensible and temperate. He shows that nothing can be gained by force or lawless conduct, for all classes array themselves against the elements of disorder and anarchy. The real workers do not sympathise with bomb-throw-ers and dynamiters. Those who are industrious and thrifty are prosperous and find that they are making headway and accumulating capital in the same way that others havo done before them. Mr. Carnegie is fully convinced of the solidity and perpetuity of our free institutions and that they are in no danger of being overthrown by the vicious and the lawless.

It is well to have both sides of the case to look at it from all points of view. It is not necessary to feel discouraged, nor should a sentiment of undue confidence prevent the righting of such wrongs as are preventable. Americans are great people to do their own thinking in their own way. They are not much to taking things at second hand or by authority. Each man and woman thinks for himself and herself. Thus we are very apt to find out whatever is wrong and to find out also some way of righting it. Where this is the national disposition there is little call to resort to force or disorder to bring about needed reforms. 1 W t"

IF a report which comes from England Is correct Queen Victoria must be in anything but an amiable frame of mind. She had Mr. Henry Matthews appointed House Secretary in the new Tory cabinet in recognition of his eloquent plea for the purity of domestic life In the Crawford divorce case, wherein he appeared for the prosecution. The story now is that some twenty years ago Matthews himself figured in the celebrated Chetwynd divorce case in much the same role as that which Sir Charles Dllke played in the Crawford case. It would seem, however, that if such were really the case, Victoria could not have forgotten the circumstances and honored the man who had been branded with infamy by public opinion. There is probably a mistake somewhere.

THE Comptesse de Mirandi, better known as Christine Nilsson, must be a very eccentric lady. Her new house is decorated after this fashion. The dining room is papered with all her old hotel bills, tho walls of tho boudoir are covered with the music and librettos of all the operas In which she has sung, the card room is papered with newspaper clippings concerning hor, while the woodwork paneling of the two salons are completely hidden by the faded wreaths, bouquets, and ribbons presented to the prima donna by the public. All this would seem to indicate that there is a large streak of vanity running through the nature of the Swedish nightingale

THK flurry on the Mexican border In Texas continues but it will not probably lead to anything serious. Mexico does not want a war with the United States and the more the facts are examined the plainer does it become that the United States has no great cause for complaint against Mexico. *r &

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

This is the season of the year when you can get what yon do not want real cheap.

Nine-tenths of all the tobacco clay pipes manufactured in the United States are made in Brooklyn.

Senator Evarts got off a sentence in his oleomargarine speech containing 231 words between period and period.

Cleveland is the first American President to whom Prince Bismarck has sent a personal letter and a photograph.

Thomas Golden, a flagman in Galena, 111., has a tame robin that he has taught to walk out of the flag bouse and wave a tiny flag whenever a train comes.

John Henderson, of Red Bank, !f. J, having been finally and totally rejected by Miss Ryerson, of the same locality, immediately bad a will drawn up giving the lady $2,000, the money to be paid her on his death, and appropriating 9&,000 for a monument to be erected to her memory when she shall die divided $2,-

000 among his friends, and with f1,000, all that remains of his brief fortune, proposes to drink himself to death.

The Concord School of Philosophy has an audience of less than a hundred, while any respectable base ball game can attract from 2,000 to 7,000. This is one of the differences between mind and muscle.

A clergyman in an Indiana town preached a sermon a few Sundays ago on the sin of betting on elections. His leading deacon, a prosperous hatter, has since resigned his membership and joined another church.

Henry Punsley suicided in Brooklyn by severing the arteries of his wrist. He left a note which said: "It makes me laugh to think I am lying here dying in this miserable condition while I have a brother a millionaire."

One of the bridegrooms of the week complained of the clergyman's fee. "A widower whom you married at Easter," said he, "tells me that you charged him very much less." "True," said Rev. Dr. "but he was a regular customer."

Thomas Edison, the father of the inventor, lives at Huronia Beach, Mich., and is a remarkably well preserved man of 82 years. The Detroit Free Press says that he has six children, three by his first and three by his present wife, and that the youngest child is but 4 years old. i&rS

Thoy tell of a clergyman In Mass., who hired out to a church at a nominal salary of f4,000, agreeing privately to make the church a present of $1,000 of it. A congregation in Connecticut heard of the four-thousand-dollar preacher, thought he must be extra good, offered him $4,500 and got him. Then the Lynn people understood why he pretended his salary was $4,000.

THE PASSING SHOW.

_____

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS. A/* ___ The Mexican Orchestra drew two excellent audiences Wednesday and Thursday evenings. It is seldom that amusement goers are afforded such a treat at this season of the year, and they attested their appreciation substantially. There is nothing booked at the opera house until the opening of the regular season, when we are promised some splendid attractions. j..

STAGE GOSSIP.

Robert McWade proposes to shelve "Rip Van Winkle," next season after seventeen years of hard service.

Rev. Geo. C. Miln will make his debut in New York this coming season, and possibly at the Star. He will likely first appear in "Pendragon/* and will afterward produqe the best plays of bis repertoire.

Some of the Eastern papers are paragraphing John T. Raymond as a disastrous failure in San Francisco, but his recent engagement at the Bush Street was the most successful that has been played in that city for years.

Conried & Herrmann are booming their "Gypsy Baron" Company by announcing that they expect to have "the best looking assortment of chorus girls on the road the coming season, as none are engaged who have not comely faces and symmetrical figures."

The keepers of Bartley Campbell, the insane playwright now in the Bloomingdale asylum, say that his malady is making daily progress for the worse. He is never himself now, and fails to recognize anyone. His condition grows more and more like John McCullough, and his nurses think that the end is rapidly approaching.

Mme. Janish will come back to America with anew play which Sardou has written for her. M. Sardou seems to be the most extraordinarily prolific dramatist above ground. If there has been an American actor, actress, or manager who has not left New York with the declared intention of bringing back anew play by Sardou, and, arriving there, has not cabled back that he had it, his name has escaped the chroniclers of the time.

Poor little Van Zandt, who had the whole world before her, and the Parisian world at least at her feet less than two years ago, is now a sad wreck. Her popularity wanedf from the time of her being hissed for cause and driven from the stage of tho Opera Comique in Paris. She went to Russia and sang with great success, but her infirmity increased, paralysis began creeping upon her, and, dead from the waist down, she is now trying the waters of one German spring after another. Paralysis is in her family and inherited from her father, and her mode of life brought it upon ber sooner than those who warned her bad even dreamed.

OR LET IT FALL ON HIM. "Did you read about that printer who hanged himself with a towlf" asked the Horse Editor. "It couldn't have been a printer," replied the Snake editor "or at least it wasn't the printing office towel he hung himself with." "Why not?" "In that case be would have stabbed himself with it."

A Thorough Canvass of Vigo County. In the interests of the AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY is now being made by one of its authorized Colporteurs, Mr. H.S. Bonsib, who has recently completed very successful work in other counties of this state. At the conclusion of the township work the city will bo systemetlcally canvassed by wards. The object is two-fold: First—To ascertain the number of families that are unsupplied with tho Holy Scriptures, and to furnish destitute families and individuals with books at cost, or by donation, if they are unable to purchase. Second—To collect funds for the Parent Society to enable it to circulate the Word of God throughout the whole world. No cause is so purely unselfish and unsectarian, nor should any moro heartily enlist the sympathy and help of every Christian and moralist. We ask a kindly reception for our canvasser, and as this community has not been asked for aid for several years, we trust that subscriptions will be genoral and liberal.

Tho Depository of tho Society is at the Terre Haute Carpet Hall, 309 Wabash avenue, where any of tho publications of the Society may be obtained at cost of publication.
