A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Notes and Comment/

Colonel Robertson should be the next Governor of Indiana.

There will be another campaign in Indiana next year. Some crooked things may then be made straight.

There are no complaints from any quarter of a short ice crop. The peach buds have not yet been heard from

Vermont has had seven feet of snow so far this winter. Sonru^other sect.ons of the country will feel happier after knowing this.

all it has not been such a bad

winter for the coal men. They would not "squeal" very hard against having another ono like it.

The

proposition

the

Governor

to raise the salary of

of Ohio from 94,000 to $8,000

should not carry. Every other man in the Stato would then be a candidate.

A mind reader has been giving exhibitions of his skill in Indianapolis this week. Ho experimented upon several legislators but finally had to glvo it up.

Already there is talk of a $50,000 eqnestrain statue of General Logan to be erected in Washington. The money might be better spent then investing it in bronze statuary.

Those who have everything they need in the greatett abundance are not always the most contented. The wife of a railroad president in Cleveland has been arrested for shop-lifting.

Just as soon as General Ilazen died the weather began to moderate An inexperienced hand cannot expect to give us weather that will comparo with that ground out by an old tinier.

Who would have thought'Sunset' Cox to be iii yoars old? But jokers got old as well as the rest of us and die, too, sometimes, though it is to be hoped that Mr. Cox will not do that just yet.

A grapovine dispatch from Illinois report* (ho killing of a man the othor day for accusing another of being a member of the Indiana Legislature. The jury returned a verdict of justiciable homicide.

Senator Green Smith, of the State Sonate, has mado one mistake. He should have had hlmsolf elected United States Senator. He probably did not think of it in time or ho would have had it done.

A man by the euphonious namo of J. Slcvenham Oo Vero was hung recently in Dakota for horse stealing. Mr. De Vere enjoyed an .aristocratic namo, but if ho descended from high blooded ancestors It Is evident that he descended a groat way.

Mr. Powdorly says if the Knights of I^ibor don't want his services ho can get from $,000 to $0,000 a year in business pursuit*. Mr. Powdorly ought to be worth as much to the Knights as to anybody else. He has had a good deal of experience.

Millionaire Farwell, the new Senator fr Illinois, says his sympathies are all with the laboring man. That's what all the rich politicians say. Nevertheless, the laboring men would as lief trust the sympathies of Senators who haven't so much monoy. ______

A dispatch from Washington says that after the mortgages 011 Mrs. lagan's homo are paid out of the fund raised, for her relief sho will have left "only" |30,000. There area good many war widows •round here to whom $30,0*0 seems as big as a mountain.

Jay Gould threatens to build no more railroads If the Cullom bill becomes a law. Perhaps it would bo just as well for the country if he wouldn't. Mr. Gould's methods of railroad building and manipulating are rather undor a cloud just at present.

Following the example of New York, Pittsburgh Is going to try the project of temperance coffee houses. The London coffee and cocoa houses are paying establishment, which h»ve cut heavily into the revenues of the saloons. If they will work that way in Americn cities it -will be a good thing to hare them.

There is talk of putting Lieutenant Greely, the famous arctic explorer, at the head of the weather department of tne government, made vacant by the death of Gen. Haxen. This would be a haaardous thing to do. We have had bliaaards enough as it is, but with Greely at the helm we would be in danger of a polar attnoophere all the time.

It is about time to hang Mrs. Robinaon, the Somenrille (Mass.) prisoner and be done with it. Seven bodies of people killed bv her have been disinterred and found to be full of arsenic. To the ordinary mind that would seem to be about as much evidence as would be needed. One would think it would not be necessary to dig up a whole grave-yard of victims. 1

The Cincinnati Times-Star suggests that Indiana will probably join the Republican procession next year. If we are not mistaken she joined the Republican procession last year. If the T. S. means that she will stay in the procession it is probably correct.

Mr. E. Berry Wall, the rich New York dude and loafer, is said to have recently appeared at a ball in Washington with small diamonds embroidered between the stripes of his silk stockings. If the fool-killer had been present on that occasion he would have had a shining mark. 11 1

A bill has been introduced in Congress to pension Walt Whitman, the alleged poet, wjio is said to be in needy circumstances. The suggestion is a bad one. Congress has no business to pension poets and if a start in that direction is once made there is no telling where it will end.

The Chicago Mail cites the fact that Mr. Clovoland recently ate a Avhole mince pie made by his mother-in-law as evidence that there is little danger of Mr. Bayard becoming President by succession. It seems to us this evidence tends in the opposite direction. It will not require many of such gastronomic feats to make a vacancy in the White House.

It is announced that the prize-fighter, Jno. L. Sullivan, will write a book. It is quite astonishing how comprehensive a thing literature is getting to be. There seems to be room in it for everybody who has gained notoriety either by brain, tongue, fist, foot or anything else. Slugger Sullivan should join the "literary fellers" by all means.

The first impersonator of "St. Clair" in Uncle Tom's Cabin has just died in Now York. He began his deadly work in 18o2, but the old fellow was evidently too much engrossed with other business to notice it until the other day. It is a cruel fate which refuses to reveal to u$ the time when the lust Uncle Tominers will receive their just punishment.

An item is going the round of the pres^. to the effect that Miss Matld Morrill, of Buckport, Me., received a letter of thanKs from Gen. Grant's private secretary for tho best poem the Grant family has received 011 the death of the Goneral. Now if Miss Maud had a certificate showing thatGon. Grant's private secretary knows poetry when he sees it, she would be fixed.

The Chicago theatre which led in the movement for cheaper prices of admission is well satisfied with the result. The patronage of tho house has largely increased and tho managers say they can seat $15,000 worth of people a week at the reduced prices, which is a profitable business. The movement is in line with all other kinds of business and has a sound basis. It ought to and will succeed.

Los Angeles newspapers now present much the same appearance in their columns that the Indianapolis papers did in the era of the great real estate boom in that city. There is no end to "additions" and the buying and selling of town lots must constitute the chief employment of people. It is to be hoped the big balloon will not come down with the sickening thud of tho one at the Hoesier capital.

A New Haven judge has fined two railroad superintendents heavily for blacklisting a man who has been discharged from one road, and who by the blacklisting was prevented from obtaining employment. The judgeclassed the blacklist with the boycott—one as unjust to the employe as the other to the employer—and referred to them as two weapons that should be discarded by Americans. _____

A man named King is under arrest in Chicago on suspicion of having put three wives out of the way within as many years, for the purpose of getting the insurance money on their lives. The sudden death of a stepdaughter whose life also was insured for his benefit finally aroused suspicion. The singular thing about it is that suspicion was not excited before. It is rather nnusual for wives to die suddenly soon after marriage at the rate Mr. King's wives appear to have died off. ______

Mr. Robinson, of Clay county, is a pretty big man over in Indianapolis at the present time. He carries the solution of the Senatorial question in his pocket just now, and is a "biger man than old

Gray"—and

If the new year keeps up the average in sensational occurrences that it has already established, the newspaper reporters can have no complaint to make of the dullness in news. Here are but three weeks gone, and the distillery fire and bank failure have furnished sensations enough for three months. But then what is stone for one man is bread for another, and the reporters will not complain if the sensations will have the good taste to distribute themselves evenly and not come "all in a heap."

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette of last Saturday published a picture of the house and family of the Mormon polygamist Bishop Coolej', which it makes ono heartache to look at. Twenty-four half clad eiiildren and their four mothers staife in a line in front of a small, cheap house of-apparently one room and not large enough to house one of the broods decently. Each wife has a baby in her arms besides four or five others ranging in stair-step fashion. The case is said to be a fair representation of ihe typical polygamous family in Mormon low life. When one looks at such a picture and realizes all the squalor, misery and indecency which it implies, it seems a matter of astonishment that such a hideous excrescence on our Christian civilization should have been permitted to exist so

long.

Every

that's saying a great

deal in Indiana politics. Robinson is a rampant Lamb man, and as the Democrate can't possibly elect a Senator without him—and can with his assistance— there is a bare possibility that the solution may come in the, way of ja„„ huge surprise.

Things are beginning to look op in the telephone business. A bill has been introduced in the legislature repealing the law passed two years ago under which it is claimed tho telephone business cannot be successfully operated. In Evaasville the company refused to take its poles down, and the city had them chopped down, and will have to pay for them according to the court*. By and by the telephone people will be celling "hello" to each other, with the accent changed from the first syllable to the last.

TERRE HAUTE, INI)., SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22,1887.

Crush the vile thing

out. A movement is on foot in Illinois which promises well and could be followed with advantage in other States. It is proposed to get a law passed by the Legislature authorizing the formation of pawners' banks, the capital of which would be raised by scock subscriptions. These banks are to loan money at a reasonable rate of interest to all needy applicants who can give satisfactory collateral security in the shape of jewelery, household goods, or other personal property, and upon proof that the property offered is really owned by them. The purpose of instituting such banks would be to prevent the charging of ruinous rates of interest by pawnbrokers and other cut-throat Shylocks who pray upon tho necessities of the poor, and break up the practice of pawning stolen goods. The idea seems to be a good ono if it can be successfully carried out.

man whose abil

ity was over-shadowed by that of General Grant has a grievance that he wil ventilate as long as newspapers can be found, which like tho jackal, will seek its prey even in the grave. The latest attack on the character of Grant is the publication of a letter written by Gen. W. S. Smith in 1864, in which Grant is charged with gross intoxication, and the letter is being generally published by a class of newspapers which have no respect for their enemies, whether they be living or dead. They are asking "Was Grant a Drunkard?" as if the people enjoy a discussion of the question. The truth is the fair-minded people are growing tired of this indecent attempt to cast shame upon the namo of Grant. They believe that it should stop when the object of their censure is unable to defend himself,that it is neither manly nor noble to abuse the dead whose abilities are universally acknowledged except by a narrow-mind-ed few—on the contrary that it ib thoroughly small and contemptible.

We hear so much, nowadays of the higher education of women, whe, lu the language of female suffrage advocates, "is fitting herself for a higher sphere in life, enlarging her hitherto narrow views, and expanding into a aobler, better existence." Perhaps these are not the exact words that are so frequently used, but they express the general idea. The subject is called up by the action of the Chicago girl, a graduate of Vassar college—and therefore presumably a representative of the improved condition of her sex—who has falleir in love with the leading member of thobonvicted anarchists, Spies, and would ved him, but for the refusal of the authorities to permit the marriage to occur. She has written a letter in which she compares her lover to Kossuth and other heroes, and says that if he is hanged his name will be revered as that of a martyr. If this ia the result of a Vassar education let us be thankful that the classed in that institution are no larger. It would be no more than one could expect to hear ef some silly school girl falling ia love with a convicted murderer, whole deeds are gilded with romance, but f4r one of the coming new races of womfcn It is just a little surprising. The whole business is nauseating, and it would mver have occurred had Miss Vanzand^ in place of fitting herself for a "highei sphere," occupied her time in requiring a knowledge of housekeeping anq home-mak-ing. The women who tiake homes cheerful and hearts happy—who haven't time to discuss the higher 3here and its qualifications—do not take much stock in murderers and the mawkish, unhealthy sentiment which oakee heroes of them. Let us be thankfrl that they do not*

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative tangle has not been unravelled at this writing. In the Senate on Monday Senator McDonald, Republican, was unsealed, in retaliation fbr unseating Meagher in, the house. This action restored the status of general assembly on joint ballot to the former figures 76 Democrats and 74 Republicans. Judge Ayres, in the Circuit Court, decided that Col. Robertson was not legally elected Lieutenant Gove&aor, and granted a restraining order to prevent him assuming the duties of the office. Appeal was taken to the S||preme Court.

On Tuesday each house voted separately for United States Senator. Judge Turpie received 75 votes, Benj. Harrison 74, and J. H. Allen of this city, received' 4 votes. Those who voted for Allen were Glover of Vigo, Cates of Fountain, Mackey of Knox, Republicans, and Robinion of Clay, Democrat. These are Knights of Labor who refuse to vote for the nominees of the two parties. Seven-ty-six votes are necessary for a choice and it will be observed that representative Robinson has it in his power to name a Democratic Senator.

On Wednesday serious trouble was feared, but happily a compromise was affected by which Smith called the joint session to order and then handed the gavel to Speaker Sayre. Two votes for Senator were taken, resulting tlib same as the day before.

A third ballot was taken on Thursday, and two ballots yesterday with no change in the votes.

It is stated that Speaker Sayre, the Republican Speaker of the House, will not sign the certificate of election of Any Senator elected by the vote of Senator Branaman, the member who was put in the seat of Senator McDonald by the Democrats of the Senate on the ground of alleged bribery and corruption used by McDonald to secure his election.

No change in the vote is expected today—but on Monday, look out! -,

WOMEN'S WAYS.

Black hosiery remains the first choice. Earrings are held to be bad taste in Paris.

It is not the boh net that is big, it is the trimmings. Writing desks find their way to tho nowadays.

A^wedding in Milllgah, N. j., had to be postponed, Thursday, because the bride vent sleigh-riding and was nearly frozen to death.

There are sixty-three "women candidates for State Librarian in Tennessee. Alf Taylor has his revenge on Brother Bob for beating him in the gubernator^ lal race.

It is estimated "that 30,000 females could find husbands inside of a fortnight in Wyoming and Montana Territories, and why the procession doesn't move is a mystery.

Miss Lucy Stanley, who has been olected queen of the gypsies, is a sister to the former gypsy queen who died at Jackson, Miss., about ten daysago. The new queen lives near Evansville, Ind.

So offensive to propriety was the costume of an aged New York dame who received last week, says the Mail and Express, that several of her guests departed immediately after paying her their respects in the most formal manner

The Buffalo Express has kejit track of it- and the story about a young girl's nignt aress taking fire and causing her death while she was saying her prayers has been republished each January for the last nine years. The only change made is to locate her in a different State, and she will keep on catching fire for over thirty years to come.

A solid citizen from northern New York went to see "Merlin" at the Metropolitan Opera-house last Monday, and was horrified. "I looked around me in the boxes," said the old gentleman, "and I saw a number of fashionable women and young girls naked almost down to the waist. I looked on the stage and there I saw hundreds of young women naked almost up to the waist. What are we coming to? Sodom and Gomorrah!"

The Supreme Court of Missouri has decided that a school board has no control of a pupil while at home. A young lady at Warrensburg was expelled from the State Normal School because she attended an evening party when the rules forbade it. The young lady was boarding at home, and she attended the party with the consent of her parents. The case waa carried to the Supreme Court, and the above decision has just been given, which may warn school boards, directors, and teachers that children in this country are not the wards of the State, and that parents still have some rights in directing them.

LITTLE SERMONS.'

We complain that our life is short, and yet we throw away much of it, and are weary of many of its parts.

They who possess the deopest knowledge of human nature are the least violent in blaming its frailties.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as thefcin after a shower.

Whenever you are angry with one you lov^, think that that dear one might die that moment, and your anger will vanish at once. *5^*- *JiT

It does not look well when men spend more money in burying their wives than they do in supporting them while they are alive.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and a few to be throughly digested. But a good many ought to be thrown into the fire.

Of all passions jealousy is that which exacts the hardest service and pays the bitterest wages. Its service is to watch the success of our enemy its wages to be sure of it.

Beautifulfsouls are often put Into plain bodies but they cannot be hidden, and have a power all their own, the greater for the unconsciousness or humility which gives it grace. 5

The encouragement1 of drunk'Shneas for the sake of profit on the sale of drink, is certainly one of the most criminal methods of assassination for any age or country. '-ITlrL

Everything which tends to discourage or aggravate the mind—whether it be excessive sorrow, rage or fear, envy-or revenge, love or despair—in short, whatever acts violently on our mental faculties, tends to injure the health.

Consideration for the feelings of others should be carried into every department of life. Errors and oversights ought never to be dealt with severely unless they become habitual. We are all liable to make them, and, when we do, wish to be treated leniently. There is a story of a bank president who threatened to discharge a clerk if be did not find a missing paper. The clerk waa in despair. He hunted everywhere without success. At last, seeing the president's overcoat hanging where he could examine it without detection, he explored the pockets and found the paper. When we abuse others for errors, let us be sure we never make one ourselves.

Seventeenth Year

THE OLD CIRCUS RIDER.

HOW THE CI llCt"

It is some fifteen years ago, says a writer in the New York Times, since Eaton Stone was famous as the "greatest bareback equestrian in the world." He had been riding for fifty years—since he was eight years of ago. To-day he is a well-preserved, active, aflablo little man of sixt3'-two. In his day he was a universally popular favorite, and though now a reminiscence, it is not possible that his name is not familiar. He resides on a farm of his own on the Erie railroad not far from Paterson in moral and mental contentment amid fruit trees and grassy lawns that are his pride. "Going on fifteen years ago," I10 says, lighting a cigar by a sun-glass, "I gave up riding because I thought it was time, and because I could afford to. When I was a lad of thirteen I was getting $150 a week, but I never saved much money until I got along in the forties and began to think of the future. For thirty years Commodore Vanderbilt used to t«ke eare of my money when he died tho late William H. asssumed tho trust, and on his death I asked William K. to continue keeping it for me. I have a good deal invested in real estate.

"I do not see much of show folks/ and to many of them I am dead in reality. I always go to see Mr. Barnum once or twice a vear when he is in New York. He has Tbeen my life-long friend. Mr. Barnum once gave me a testimonial watch with a massive chain representing a bridle, surcingle, and bit that cost $5,000. I've got In a deposit company a tin box a foot high and a foot long and wide that is filled with jeweled testimonials I have received—watches, medals, rings, whips, paper weights in the shape of Rtirrups, but more than all I value a testimonial parohment, that was gotten up thirty years ago, containing the signatures of all tho Prominent editors in this country and Europe. ."Barnum and Forepaugh are the only successful and wealthy circus men of todav. I should say they are equally wealthy, Forepaugli having the advantage of being alone and getting all tho

rofits, while Barnum has to divido with partners. Both are in tho habit of investing all their surplus in real estate, Barnum owning a section of Bridgeport, while Forepaugh has numerous nouses in Philadel phia. In the olden days more money was made in tho circus business, because the expenses and risks were not so great as now, especially in the matter of ground rent ana license. A dozen or so horses, four or five cages of animals, one elephant, ono camel, and twenty peoplo all told constituted the outfit there were no double mammoth tents, 110 droves of elephants, no herds of yamels, or starts of horses.-

KNTKRINO A LION'S CAOE.

"I remember tho first time a man went into a lion's cage. It was back in 20—before Van Amburgh's time. It was down in New Orfeans. His name was Lane, and he had charge of a lion and a lioness named Ajax and Nance. One day Ajax took sick and Lane determined, to go into the cage and physic and nurse

him, satisfied that the lion was too siclc to do him much injury should ho seek to attack him. Ajax showed such an appreciation of his kindness that he insisted on licking Lane's hand with his tongue and rubbing his head against his knees. I forgot to say that before poing into the cago Lane had Nance partitioned off in one end of the cage. Whilo sho seemed to understand what Lane was doing for her mate and appreciated the kindness as highly as ho did, Nance would try to get Lane to let her lick his hand and paw him, and ono day he decided to go into the cage without shutting her off to herself. As he expected, she was as effectionate as she could be, and joined Ajax in his demonstrations of kindness and affection. When Ajax recovered Lane announced that he would go into the lions' den, but the public was afraid to come to the show. Tho announcement of Daniel in the lion's den, a religious exemplification, did not take and there was no such lithographing and pictorial work done in those days*

ANIMALS' LIKES AND DJ8MKK8.

"I always made friends with the animals in the shows I traveled with, and firmly believe in the intelligence, almost human, of the brute creation. There seems to be a sort of freemasonry among animals, by which they communicate with each other. For instance, if there is a man in tbe circus that the animals do not like you can bet your life on it that from the start a new animal added to the lot will show this dislike with the others, even before he has had any experience with the unlucky man. All my horses are dead. I gave the famous Ella Zoyara tbe steed she, or rathor he, rode. I required a very fast-going horse, and no one has ever ridden faster than I. I learned this fast riding during my throe

rears' life with the Commanche Indiana Texas. My, how my Indian act would take nowadays! It is not done now4)«r cause no one can do the riding.

CIIW1JS RIDING.

Fromikrly childhood I liked hornet, and took to riding as naturally as, I suppose, young ducks to take to water. I commenced in the ring at eight years of age, and enjoyed riding so much that there never was any beating necessary to make me work, and nothing could have induced me to leave off. As a rule, once a circus rider always one. Tbe Erie road gives me an annual pass, and the train always stops at my gate, so it is very convenient for me, for in good weather I frequently run over to tbe city and see my old friends and acquaintances. "I does not seem to me that I am an old man, and but for the fact that so many whom I knew when I was young, thirty and forty years ago, have got into the cemeteries and can't get out, 1 should not consider myself old, as my health is ood. I am rather abstemious as regards iquor, the result probably of my early training bat I enjoy a smoke and can treat a stump in a most scientific manner." W
