TERRE HAUTE, OCT. 9, 1886.

THE Chicago anarchists have been refused a new trial and sentence will be parsed upon them to-day.

THE great tire in Chicago occurred fifteen years ago to-day. Great as was the destruction it was the making of that city.

THE late severe frosts have nipped the tobacco plants and insured a short crop of that indispensable weed. Why wouldn't it be a good time for smokers to swear off?

MR. ENDICOTT, secretary of War is enjoying one of his brief vacations at Washington. It appears that he gets tired of staying at his home in Boston all the time.

Mir HAT IlALSTKAWsayM Mr. Blaine can have the nomination two years from now if lie wants it. lie will be very apt to want it. But Haistead is not always a sure prophet.

IN fyis address to the Writers at Indianapolis, Maurice Thompson said that poetry made for the sake of money is not poetry. Perhaps Mr. Thompson could tell what magazine poetry is made for.

IT is quite surprising how common the use of nitro-glycerine was among the medical profession, and how little, was said about it until the Chicago doctor employed it to restore a dead woman to life.

ATTOHNKY («KNKKAT, OAHIJANP has got back to Washington after a long vacation. He can now proceed to give the cabinet another shock from his PanElectric battery and all will go on swim-

==r===rr====

HKNIIY GKOKUK had a very good show for being elocted mayor of New York until the fJrconbackers came along and "indorsod" him. Whether or not his boom will be able to stand this remains to 1)0 seen.*

THKHE appears to be much trouble in deciding what do with the Indian chief Ueroniino as there was in capturing him. If he is not hanged, for all the bloody crimes lie has committed, there will bo about fifty-five million of people who will want to know the reason.

Tin: old log house in which General Grant issued his last war order has been bought by a Now York man who intends to remove it to Riverside ftfl a companion piece to the monument. The probabilities are that the old house will bo rotted into dust long before New York gets the monument built.

A CIIICAOO coal dealer explains that during tho past ten years most of the coal men have made nothing, while the newspaper men have grown rich. All the same we are ready to bet that there aro not a dozen newspaper men in that ity who would not bo glad to exchange places with a coni dealer.

PUKHWKNT Ci.KVMLAM will hardly make his peace with tho people of Charleston by writing them a letter and sending after such a great and unnecessary delay. He should have given promptly if he intended to give, and written or telegarphed at onco when the news of the earthquuko first came.

IT is again reported that Walter Blaine, the eldest son of James (J., is going to Chicago to enter into business relations of some kind and that he will marry a daughter of Joseph Medill, of tho Tribune. The Tribune is the greatest of all Blaine organs. Perhaps these prospective personal relations may have something to do with it.

HKNHY (JKOUOK'S candidacy for mayor of New York Is booming. Col. Bob Ingersoll expressed tho sentiment of many thousands of people when he said he would like to see him succeed. The Idea of electing a man like George, author, thinker, the honest advocate of the laboring people mayor of the greatest American city has a novelty in it that is catching and inspiring. We hope he will be elected.

A KINK illustration of the mlschleka xmall boy can do was afforded in Wheeling, Va., the other day. He found a small leak in a pipe conveying natural gas and applied a match to it to see how it would bum. It burned so well that it melted the lead packing round the joint, th« flame shot fifty feet Into the air and all the gas had to he cut otT from mills and factoriesemployingseveral thousand men, and a large force put to work to repair the main. The small boy is very apt to make interesting experiments of that xort.

KHOM the statements of A well informed publisher it appears that the profits of Mr. Blaine'* book has been greatly exaggerated, as sueh things usually are. Of the first volume of the book 100,000 eopiea were Issued, which are not yet *11 disposed of. Of he second volume 75,000 copies were issued. Mr. Blaine receives 75 rents on each copy sold* *nd when all have been disposed of he will get some 9130,000

out

the work. This is a very

large sun\, to be wire, but is much less than the quarter of a million which the author was reported to have realised from the undertaking.

THE defalcation of teller Baumann, of the New York Dime Savings Bank, has some features a little out of the ordinary run. Baumann stole some $20,000 in the short period of nine months. He has a. wife and two children and is not known to have lived extravagantly or to have engaged in speculations. Unless further light is thrown upon the matter it will look very much like a deliberate steal for the purpose of gaining a competence and then running away." He has probably taken good care of the money and knows just where it is! But whether or not he will be permitted to enjoy his ill-gotten gain remains to be seen.

NOTHING will be gained by slurring the candidacy of Henry George for mayor of New York. He is a man of large ability and has had a remarkable career. What he is he has made himself by systematic and thorough study. He goes to the bottom of every subject with which he deals. His integrity does not seem to be doubted. Recently a mass meeting of prominent citizens of New York, comprising lawyers, merchants and professional men, and numbering some 3,000, endorsed the candidacy of Mr. George with .much enthusiasm. If the workingmen prove loyal to Mr. George and he succeeds in winning fair number of votes from the non-par tisan element, he will cut no insignificant figure in the seve/al-sided contest, if indeed he does not'succeed in being elected.

THERE was not a more ardent "Cleveland and Reform" mugwump in all In diana in the last campaign than Louis B. Swift, of Indianapolis. He is not so ardent now. He has "soured" on civil service reform as practiced in the commonwealth of Indiana. As chairman of the executive committee of the civil service reform association of Indiana, Mr. Swift has been made to comply with its provisions. Good officials have been turned out simply to make places for Democratic workers, greatly to the demoralization of the service in many cases. The fact is, as Mr. Swift has discovered, civil service reform in Indiana is a sham and a fraud. The spoils svs torn is just as much in force practically as it ever was. But after all there is nothing very surprising in this. Indiana Democrats never have believed nor professed to believe in civil service reform, except to the extent that its application would put Republicans out and Demo erats in. And if the honest truth were told, Indiana Republicans believe in it very little more than the Democrats do So far as Indiana is concerned the masses of neither party tako very much stock in the thing.

FIGHTING THE COAL RING. Governor Patterson, of Pennsyvania, has declared war on the Anthracite coal ring in that State, and his action will produce a feeling of profound satisfaction throughout tho cpuntrv. It is a monstrous outrage that half a dozen great corporations should exercise the arbitrary power of limiting tho supply and enhancing tho cost of an article of prime necessity and universal use. Fortunately tho constitution of Pennsylvania provides that railway or canal companies shall not engage in mining or manufacturing and in transporting tho products of its own mines and factories. The Anthracite coal ring is made up of several railroad, canal and coal companies, and they have been doing precisely what the constitution of tho. State forbids. The Governor has advised the Attorney General to proceed against tho monopolists and call them to account. Whether that officer will do so remains to be seen. The privilege of going on as they have beon doing, free from molestation, Is one worth many thousands of dollars to the coal railroads and they could well aflbrd to "whack up" very handsomely to an attorney general whose official virtue was susceptible to such seduction. It is to be hoped that the law officer of Pennsylvania is not that kind of a man and that he will go the full lensrth of the law in breaking up the oppressive monopoly which imposes a heavy and unnecessary tax upon the people of the country, for most people aro more or loss consumers of anthracite coal. The progress of tho fight will be watched witfl interest.

POSTAL SA VISGS BASK. Tho system of postal savings banks fias been in operation in Great Britain for twenty-five years. A report of the work done has recently been published and makes a most gratifying. exhibit. At tho close of 1885, there were 8,106 of these banks in the Kingdom. The deposits during the year amounted to upwards of $75,000,000 and #5,000,000 was paid in interest to the depositors, being a little less than 7 per cent. In England there is one depositor for every eight people in Wales 1 to 31, and in Scotland 1 to 38.

In France the system has been in operation five years and the results are equally satisfactory. The specially valuable fact In connection with the system in both countries is that it increases habits of saving among the working people. Those who were distrustful of the banks have confidence in these institutions of the Government, The aggregate of deposits in the savings banks has largely increased since the system went into operation.

Undoubtedly the plan would prove as useful in the United States as it has been in France and England. Whatever will induce and promote the habit of small savings among the masses of the people is a thing to be commended. Many thousands of dollars in dimes and quarters are spent each year which might as well be saved. Government savings banks would induce many people save smalt amounts which in the end would count up enormously. The matter should be seriously considered and acted upon by

TERRE HAUTE SATDRDAY EVENING MATT.

THE KNIGHTS AT RICHMOND. The annual convention of the Knights of Labor, which met in Richmond, Va., on Monday, of this week, attracted wide attention, as was meet that it should. It is the greatest organization of working* men that has ever come into existence and has the power to do a vast amount of good if it is controlled by wisdom and sound judgment. The growth of the order during the past year or two has been simply amazing. Its membership now is said to be a million.

The address of General Master Work man Powderly was conservative in tone and temper. As heretofore he deprecates strikes and the disorganization of industrial interests which inevitably flows from them. The eight-hour movement failed, he says, because it was un dertaken too rashly and employed improper agencies. He has faith that the reduction of the hours of labor will come yet, but it must come gradually and in such a way as not to unsettle the business of the country, which is alike harmful to workingmen and to employers. He urges attention to the matter of educating tho children, many of whom are not in the schools. He recommends that the Knights in every vicinity ascertain the number of children who are not attending school and endeavor to have them sent. He could not have referred to a more important matter than this. Intelligence lies at the very foundation of good citizenship and ability to make the best of surrounding conditions.

Mr. Powderly has shown himself a sagacious and level-headed leader of the organization at whose head he has now stood for seven years. He should and doubtless will be continued in his present position. The ultra-radical element of the order is opposed to him but fortunately this element is not the controlling one. His ideas and theories are correct and practicable and it will be well if the Knights shall be guided by them.

THE Congregationalists are divided on tho question whether the heathens who have never had a chance to hear the gospel preached in this life may not have a probationary period in the next during which they may have an opportunity to accept Christ's salvation. The feeling between the two branches is becoming somewhat intense, those wh hold to the old doctrine, viz: that no such probation is promised in the scriptures, denouncing in rather heated terms the heterodoxy of the New Departurists. It cer tainly seems hard and unreasonable that men should be punished for a sin which it was not possible for them to know was such. This may be theology but it is very hard theology and the majority of people .will hope the New Departurists will be able to find bible arguments to support their position.

IF the Quakers as a sect are dying out, the Quaker College, "Earlham," at Richmond, in this State, shows a steady prosperity. The institution was opened as a boarding-school in 1847 and chartered as a college in 1854. It has graduated 5,000 pupils. One thousand two hundred of these have become teachers, 70 ministers, 114 college professors, and 4 college presidents. It must be tliafrsome good educa tloual work is done at this Quaker col lege, for the institution has steadily grown in public favor and has taken a high rank among Western colleges.

IT is said that Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., has written to a prominent crest and coat of arms manufactory in Philadelphia asking to be furnished with a combined crest of the two families of Nevin and Blaine. If this is true Mrs. James G. Blaine Jr. is a very silly girl. It is safe to say that if her husband approves of this conduct, James G. Blaine, Sr. will do nothing ^f the kind.
