TKRKE HAUTE. SEPT. 22,1888.

AM, the candidate* have now accepted the nomination. Which one of them will accept the office?

MB. JAMBS LASODON CURTIS has accepted the nomination for'President on the National American ticket. Now ike campaign may proceed.

JUDOK GKESHAM has arrived home from Europe. He is an open-eyed kind of man and a free talker. Someone ought to interview him. He will say lust what he thinks of things across the water and be will have level-headed ideas about them, too.

The Prince of Wales is in debt half a milUon dollars and thinks of applying to Parliament for an allowance for Prince Albert Victor, it is said. Thia tnust be pleasant news for the starving thousands in London who are unable tt got work that will put bread into their roouthf.

DR. TASNEiTniay thank the fates. Just as ho had announced that many people are buried alive each year the

news

was

came

from a place in Maryland that a young lady, who

supposed to be dead an

had been placed in a coffin for bur a bad come to life again and Is now on the road to recovery. Tbo next question is to whether the report is true or onH a canard, like many another before it.

THK only times the Democrats carried Indiana since 186B in a Presidential cowtest was when Thomas A. Hendricks was on the ticket. Tilden and Hendricks carried it in

atld

Hendricks in 18S4. Hancock and English lost it in 1880, although the second place on the ticket was tilled by an Indiana man. This does not prove anything, perhaps, but It Is a fact that is more or le.s« interesting.

Mn. BI.AINK did not como home by way of the Paolllc coast, as the Mail

suggested, but he may get out to California yet. He is coming Into Indiana presently for a ten days' tout of tlx* State, after which he will go to Michigan and thence towards tho West, POHHlhly as far a* the coast, as tho Californinns are anxious to see him. The\ will assuredly give him royal reception if he goow out there.

Titr.RK Is plenty v' anti-trust oratory just now. The matter has figured conspicuously in Congress of late and nearlv all the men with big names have taken a tilt at it. The political oratory of the stump also bristles with arrows aimed at these lawless "combine.. This Is well. But will the virtuous indignation against

these

monstrous

growths of monopoly last after election day and result in vigorous and oncotic legislation against them? That Is the Interesting question.

Mn. TitniMAN is so old and feoblc that tho plan of hauling him over the country for electioneering purposes has practically been abandoned. Tho •Old Roman" can't stand the strain of campaign work any more and It is a pitiful aud not very edifying spectacle to see tho Democrats compelling him to an exertion far beyond his strength and vears. And by tho way what is to bo said of the fitness of such a man for the Presidency of the nation, should he be called to till the position, as Johnson and Arthur were?

Mns. MOHTON, wife of the Republican oanditate for Vice-President, is an American *voman through and through

In a

recent interview she said: "I love America and everything American. just think it is so perfect that we cannot introduce anything foreign that will excel or even equal what we have." That Is the kind of talk we like to bear. We have had quite enough of toadying to 1 foreign ideas and manners in this country. America is really "the beat land the sun ever shone upon. ashamed to say so.

•the best land let us not be

A CHICAGO wine merchant Is authority for the statement that Americans who us© wine on their tables are fast ceasing to buy the imported article and turning to our native wines which they find are superior to those brought from abroad, when the latter are not American wines

reshlpped

under foreign labels.

This sensible change will be of decided benefit to our native wine growers who will thus have an increased market at fair prices for their good*. The wine yield of California Is growing rapidly and it will receive a new stimulus from hh change in public taste.

THK discovery and arreat of another dynamiter in Chicago, just as he was on the eve attempting the execution of a diabolical plot to blow up some of the public buildings, would seem to indicate thft* the minions of the law in that city are not all the time asleep. This fellow had laid In a supply of ingredients of diabolism and was proceeding to the ex ecutioa of his plot when a lncky ohsno* exposed hhi scheme to a detective in the guise of a friend. There has been a good deal of this sort of thing lately la CFCL cago and there la wal danger that one of the hair-bmined crank# may yet wtfr coed in firing off an Irferoal machine In

mm0

public place before bis intentions are discovered and thwarted.

DR. TAWXEK, the fasting crank, has emerged from obscurity long enough to make the sensational statement thai "targe numbers of people are buried alive {every year." There has been a good deal of cheap t^lk of this kind bat there is little if any foundation for it in fact. It is not possible that one person in a million is buried in civilized countries, all the sensational stories to the contrary notwithstanding. Still, there should not be even the shadow 6f ground for such a horrible suspicion and ample time should be allowed to pass before the dead body is consigned to the grave.

EACH day adds a new chapter of horror in the scourge at Jacksonville, Fla. Yesterday there were-118 new cases and 14 deaths—the worst day up to that time. The total death loll is 196 and the whole number of cases 1682. The weather has been favorable to the development of the epidemic of late and the worst of it all is that there Is little hope of the abatement of the scourge until the coming of frost. The situation of the fever-stricken city is indeed appalling. The disease Is spreading with alarming rapidity to other localities, and cities and towns not affected are up in arms for a general quarantine. There is evidently a reign of terror throughout the south.

IT seems that electricity is likely to create a revolution in the industrial world akin to that produced by the application of steam. We are familiar with some of the wonders it has already accomplished and there is doubtless much more in prospect. One of the latest useful applications of the mysterious fluid is in the refining of sugar. Experiments have been going on for some time at Brooklyn and it is claimed with success, and beautiful crystals made by the new process have been exhibited. It Is claimed that the new process of refining is twenty times as cheap as by the present method and requires less than a hundredth of the time. If these claims are not wildly extravagant we may hope see the outrageous Sugar Trust downed" yet, that is, provided the monopolists can bo kept from getting control of the new process.

1&70, and

Cleveland

THE latest report touching the Western trip of Col. Brice, the chairman of the Democratic National committee, is that tho talk of carrying Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota was a mere" blind, the real purpose being to concentrate all their efiorts upon Indiana and carry tho Stale if possible by expending a large amount of boodle and Importing voters from Illinois and Kentucky. It is said that a fund of §50,000 was raised in Chicago for use in this State and that a large amount of money will bo brought from the East to be similarly expended.

Making due allowance for campaign exaggeration thore is much ground for apprehension that the Democrats will pour an immenso fund into Indiana this year. It is evident that they regard Now York as very doubtful, with Now Jersey and Connecticut in the same role hence Indiana becomes of vital importance to them. Thoro ought to be an honest vote and an honest count this year, of all years, in Indiana and every lawabiding citizen whether Democrat or Republican, ought to constitute himself a eommitteo ot one to see that corruption and crookedness shall not succeed.

INDIANA'S CROPS.

This has been a good year for crops In Indiana, notwithstanding tho partial fallurei of wheat, tho average yield of which was only 13 bushels to the acre. The total yield is placed at 35,000,000 bushels which, at 60 cents a bushel, the averago price will bo put the snug sum ofJ$28,000,000 into the pockets of the farmers. The oats crop is placed at 20,000,000 bushels, worth 30 cents a bushel, or nearly $8,000,000. But the king of all the crops Is corn, of which tho largest yield over {frown in Indiana has been produced. Tho average yield is 37 bushels per acre and the total product Is over 122,000,000 bushels. This is simply enormous and beyoud one's ability to realise. It is worth 40 cents a bushel, or almost 160,000,000. And the hay crop really exceeds it in value, being 3,600,000 tons valued at $15 a ton, or a grand total of $54,000,000.

Thus from the four great staples, wheat, oats, corn and hay, Indiana farmers will realise the enormous sum of 140 million dollars, to say nothing of fruit, hogs, cattle, poultry, dairy product and a host of minor productions which go to swell the grand aggregate. Truly the wealth of gold and silver mines is insignificant when compared with the agricultural wealth of a great and fertile State. 'If we could only be children forever," wistfully says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, and then proceeds to show how much more fun a child has than a grown-up person: "I sometimes look at a pretty boy and think what a pity it Is that he's bound to grow up and become married and drunk and wicked and all aorta of horrible Vhings. And when you look at the blue-eyed, fairhaired little feinnV child, and think that some day she hi £--ng to be a pretty wo man with a tight-laced waist, a tailormade suit, false hair and a touch of paint on her face that she to going to lib and ftrt and derive and tr-rry the wrong man and have lots of able— well, you can't help asking 'What la the use of It all

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATL.

~!3? NA YLOIVS OPERA BOUSE.

Poor Hartley Campbell's beautiful society comedy drama, "Fate," which is to be presented at Naylor's Opera House next Tuesday evening, was his first successful play and the one that brought him into prominence as a playwright.

Fate is a delightful comedy drama in four acts and is thoroughly domestic, containing a great deal that is entertaining and amusing. It treats of a jealous loving wife, a bad designing worban, a husband drove insane by the perfidy of a bad wife, an old maid with an affinity and a lawyer who never misses a chance.

The company presenting it is a good one and includes the talented and beautiful young actress Miss Rose Osborn and the favorite comedian, Mr. Russell Bassett, who is well and favorably known here. It will interest the ladies to know that Miss Osborne displays a number of magnificent dresses during the play. "Fate" will no doubt draw a good house as there seems to be a great deal of interest manifested on the part of theatre goers already. The sale of seats is now progressing at Button's.

HELD BY THK ENEMY.

No play presented at Naylor's la3t season pleased the people so well as Wm. Gillette's great American play "Held by the Enemy." Theatre goers will be delighted to know that is to be presented again on Friday evening of next week, with the same regard to details and company that so materially assisted in making the engagement an artistic success lastt season.

Held by the Enemy has the diatlnctivemerit|of originality, picturesqueness and strong dramatic interest. With nothing in it to oftend

and

almost every

thing to deserve commendation, it is a play that appeals strongly to human nature. The company presenting it is substantially the same as last year, the important changes being the substitution of Miss Esthor Lyon for Miss Behei^s as "Rachel" aud she is a graceful and discriminating actress, Mr. Preston for Mr. Arthur, as the 'War Correspondent," a part he plays almost perfectly, and Mr. Hamon, who is a great improvement over Mr. Haworth as the "Spy.'' The other leading parts are assumed by Mr. James Wilson, Miss Kate Denin Wilson, Mr. Stokes and others of the old cast. All tho speaial scenery and effects will be used and no efforts will be spared to make the performance a genuine treat to all who will attend. The opera house should .be and almost certainly will be crowded as it is a distinct American play and is well worthy your most liberal patronage. It is being presented this weok at Dickson's Grand, in Indianapolis, to crowded houses at every performance and the entire press of tho Capital city unite is saying it is the best of all American plays. The sale of seats commences Thursday, Sept. 26th, at Button's.

The successful dramatic Writer Mr. John C. Roach, author of Scanlan's 'Shane-na-Lawn," will appoar at Naylor's October 1st, presenting his new and successful comedy drama "Dan Darcy." Mr. Roach's tour is under Mr. J. M. Hill's management which is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the per formanco.

A number of good things are booked this season at Naylor's opera house, among them is W. S. Gilmore's big spectacular production, "The Twolve Temptations," which is by far the biggost show ever taken out on the road as it requires three cars to transport the scenery and baggage and two cars for the company, which is composed of 70 people.

Prof. Jacob Breinig is bringing his orchestra up to a high standard of excellence again. Several soloists will be added and a special feature made of the overtures between acts.

As pretty as the beaullful flowers it illustrates is the fall catalogue of bulbs and plants just issued from the press of Moore A Langen for Myron A. Hunt the florist. It is elegantly printed, arranged with taste and just such a book as the lady lover of flowers will be delighted to receive. And by the way, Moore A Langan are doing some very fine printing of other descriptions, some artistic poster work being noticeable upon Dishon's bill boards.

Tariff and Free Trade.

While these questions are prominent In political circles, the low tariff on Shoes of every description at A. H. Boegeman's 104 south Fourth street causes the people of this community to freely trade there. It is the people's store, made popular by the excellent quality of the goods, the extraordinary low prices and the cordial greeting and clever treatment by the proprietor and salesmen of all its patrons. For low prices and serviceable wear buy your shoes at Boegeman's.

Save Money.

An Important Element

Of the success of Hood's Sarsaprllla is the the fact that every purchaser receives a fair equivalent for his money. The familiar head-line "100 Doses One Dollar," stolen by imitators, is original with and true only of Hood's Sarsaparillo. This can easily be proven by any one who desires to test the matter. For real economy, buy only Hood's Saraparllla. Sold by all druggists.
