TERRE HAUTE, FEB. 25, 1888
INDIANA'S OPPORTUNITY. The Republicans of Indiana will make the greatest mistake In the history of their party if they shall suffer such discord to exist as will divide the friends of Gen. Harrison and Judge Gresham With Mr. Blaine out of the contest the chances of Indiana in the next National convention areprobably better than those of any other Stat**. It does not seem at all likely that Mr. Sheridan ean be noni inated and the feeling of the convention will be for taking the man who will seem to have moat strength in Indiana and New York. Those States are the critical ones and there will be a general disposition to accord them every advantage. New York has no man to present of exceptional availability—none who would be specially strong in Indiana. But if Indiana can present a candidate who would not only carry his own State, but would also be as strong or stronger than Any other man in New York, Indiana would be almost sure of securing the nomination.
Indiana has two strong men. It is probable that either Harrison or Gresham could carry his own State* provided the party were harmonious and united but which of the two men would be strongest In New York and the country generally? That is the important question. There seems hardly any room for doubt that Gresham would be. Every manifestation of public sentiment in the party that has so far been made shows a much more general feeling in other States for Gresham than for Harrison. Harrison has several sources of weakness His action on the Chinese immigration bill might damage him on the Pacific -coast. The labor vote does not feel friendly to him. His action on the temperance question would, it is pharged? Alienate many German voters.
All these may in no sense be disparaging to Gen. Harrison's ability and purity as a statesman but rather the contrary. He is a clean, honest, able and conscientious man, who has acted always from a sense of duty, and not from a hypocritical desire to court public favor by playing the role of a self-seeking politician. But all the same these points will be considered by the convention in seeking a candidate of the utmost availability for the contest.
Against Judge Gresham no'objections can be urged. Ho is popular with the southern element. He Is strong with the workingmen. He has done nothing to alienate the German vote. He would unite all factions of the Republican party in New York and would carry that State if any Republican in the country could. As an able, fearless and incorruptible jurist, thousands of Democrats regard him with respect and admiration. He has filled- every high position he has ever held with efficiency and success and the people of tho country, without respect to party, would feel well satis fled with Gresham for President
4
Now if the delegates to the Cnicago convention shall regard one of these men more favorably than the other, it witl bo an act of folly almost ohildlsh on the part of Indiana Republicans to allow their ohanipionship of anyone man to destroy the fair prospect of their State securing the Presidency. Indiana Democrats made suoh a mistake once. Let not Indiana Republicans repeat tho blunder.
CITY Of JTOMES?^^
Philadelphia now estimates her population at a little more than one million, an increase of almost 200,000 since 1880 and of more than 40,000 during 1887. But the most notable feature of Philadeldelphia's growth is the large per centage of dwelling houses which are built there. It is distinctively a city of houses, its people priding themselves on the possesion ami ownership of the houses they live in. In i880 there were 146,000 separate houses in Philadelphia, while New York, with a population one-half greater, had but 73,000. There are now some 180,000 houses In Philapelphia and the increase in eight years is alone equal to the entire number of dwellings In Cincinnati, Cleveland or Washington.
Philadelphia was the mother of the building and loan associations which hafe spread all over the country and have exerted so beneficent an influence in ifceway of home-building for people of limited moans. Those societies a** now numbered by scores and hundreds the larger cities and extend into *U(i

DAKOTA'S FUTURE.
The past severe winter may militate somewhat against Dakota's prosperity The tide of immigration may be in a large measure turned further south. New land may not be taken up so rapidly for a time in the far Northern regions. But these conditions will not be permanent. Dakota's future is assured because the Territory is the great golden wheat growing of the world. Nowhere else can such a fine hard wheat ben-y be perfected as on the borders of the Red River of the North. This wheat ranks foremost in the markets of the world for quality and nutrition. And it can be grown more cheaply in Dakota than elsewhere in the United States. In a certain way Dakota has a monopoly of fine wheat, as California and Florida have of semi-tropical fruits, and as Pennsylvania has of coal and iron.
Wheat is the chief of cereals. All the world wants It and a territory which can produce it in abundance, in perfection and at a minimum cost, must continue to enjoy the prosperity which such conditions have brought to it. Dakota will keep on growing. Her people will make better provision for withstanding the severe winter seasons, by building warmer houses and laying in an abundance of fuel and so will avoid much of the suffering experienced during the present season. But Dakota will be one of the grand States of the Uuion one of these days or perhaps two of them.
DEPEW.
President Chauncey M. Depew, of the New York Central railroad, may or may not be an available Presidential candidate, but he is assuredly one'of the happiest speech-makers this country ever produced. Witty, jolly and open hearted, there is something peculiarly refreshing in those brilliant off-hand speeches which seem ever ready to leap from his tongue without a moment's preparation. Another pleasant thing about this busy railroad magnate is that he is always willing to talk oft any subject. He is not afraid to open his mouth for fear he might say something prejudicial to his own interests or those of his corporation. He has ideas upon every question of current thought and discussion, and they are generally practicable and sensible ideas, but whether so or not, Mr. Depew is not afraid to express them. They go out for what they are worth and people can do as they like about accepting them. He is a genuine and thorough American and is the most popular man in the United States standing at the head of any great moneyed corporation. Even the laborers in the service of the New York Central have nothing to say against Mr. Depew, whose treatment of them is fair and honorable. If there were more men like him at the head of great corporations in this country there would be less cause for eoirtplaint among workingmen and all other classes of people.
THK business outlook for the year 1888 seems now much brighter than it was a few months ago. 1887 was a good year but it witnessed so much railway bhilding and consequent real estate speculation that it was feared the present year might experience a disastrous collapse, the result of of er-speculation. Present indications are that such will not be the case. A large amount of now railway building is now assured for the present year and plans for extensive improvements in the way of new buidings and manufacturing enterprises have been made, or are under way. With the Presidential eontest on hand the year cannot be expected to eqtial in business that of 1887 but it bids fair to be a profitable and prosperous one.
IF the Democrats are really not in favor of free trade they seam to ba doing about all they can to appear so. Inthe Senate the other day, on a bill to charter a street railway company in the District of Columbia an amendment was proposed that the rails used should bd of American manufacture* Evsry Republican voted for the amendment and all the Democrats against it except two.^^
PHINCH BJSMABCK is not going to die a poor man, whether it be peace or war for Europe. His official salaries amount to dr snug sum and he has large estates and profitable manufacturing investments to boot. His annual income from all sources is estimated to be from $00,OOOto |150,000. Politics seems to te a better business in Europe than it 38 in America.% ..

y} PANCAKES IN VARIETY. On cold winter mornings pancakes of all kinds hold an important place at the breakfast table. The cherished buckwheat cake, the most important of all, from Thanksgiving Day until early Spring is seldom absent from the morning meal in the genuine American household. When properly made, this is the most delicious of all the gridle cakes, but it has been against it when made from yeast or risen over night that it was difficult to make light and sweet, and that disagreeable effects frequently followed its eating. It is found that by the use of the Royal Baking Powder to raise the batter these objections have been entirely overcome, and that buckwheat cakes are a most delicious food, light, sweet, tender and perfectly wholesome, that can be eaten by anyone, without the slightest digestive inconvenience. Once tested .from the following receipt no other will be used: Two cups of buckwheat, one cup of wheat flour, two tablespoons of Royal Baking Powder, onehalf tablespoon ful of salt, all sifted well together. Mix with milk into a thin batter and bake at onoe on a hot griddle.
The purest and richest syrup is made by dissolving sugar in the proportion of three pounds of sugar to one pint of water. Many persons prefer the flavor of syrup made of Orleans sugar to that made of the white.
Rice griddle cakes are very delicious. The rice is cooked until perfectly soft, drained dry, mashed with a spoon until the grains are well broken up. For each cupful of rice take two eggs one pint of milk, one heaping tablespoonful of Royal Baking Powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and flour enough to make a thin batter.^
For hominy cakes take two cupsful of cooked hominy, and crush it with a potato-masher until it is a smooth mass. Add one level teaspoonfnl of salt, teaspoonfuls of Royal Baking Powder, and one cupful of flour. Stir together then add by degrees one quart of milk, and lastly three well beaten eggs. Bake In thin cakes.
Very delicate and delicious cakes are made by allowing two teaspoonsfUl of Royal Baking Powder and one-half teaspoonful of salt to one quart of milk, and sufficient cornmeal, mixing all into a smooth, thin batter no eggs or butter arO used for these. The cakes bake quickly to a rich deep brown, and are extremely tender and light

WHICH HORSE AND WHYf At this season hundreds, yes, thousands of farmers all over our land are laying their plans and deciding what breed of norses to patronize the coming year.
Some have their minds already made up, while others are halting between two or more opinions. Some will decide to use a certain breed because it is being boomed and because his neighbors are using it. Others will take a different breed for the same reason—they want to show their independence. But the levelheaded, practical breeder will look carefully over the different breeds and take the one possessing the most desirable characteristics, ana will also assure himself that those characteristics are fixed in the breed and can be transmitted to the grade off-spring, and will not be content with one simply because he is popular to-day. The horse that can snow the largest number of desirable qualities is the horse that will win in the long race, and will be tho horse for the future and so is the one to pin your faith to now.
Every horse should be bred for a particular purpose. If for heavy work he should be a model of streng In every part. If for carriage purposes his proportions should be such as to propel him over the ground with an easy, graceful motion and he should not need a pound of surplus flush to cover defects in form, for every ounce put on for that purpose is a detriment to him.
The writer of this has been familiar with the different English breeds of horses for many years, and he said when Geo. E. Brown A Co., Aurora, 111., commenced the introduction of the Cleveland Bay and Shire something over a dozen years ago, it would bg only a question of time, when they would bo recognized pur uta grand fithess for fan
