TEIIKK HAUTK, SEPT. 2», 1888

Tuns indications now are that the Republicans may carry every northern State, with a good »how of getting eev oral southern ones. A Holid North against a broken South would!» a novel but not unpleasant spectacle.

MB, HI,A INK i» reported to have re ccivel $1.50 a lino for his recent articlo in the American Magazine. The ex Presidential candidate does not seem to be in imminent danger of having to go to the poorhouse, whichever way poll tics may go.

HA» Mrs. Cleveland retired from busincHH? While the wives of the other candidate* are conspicuous in the newspapers, little is heard of the reigning lady of tho White House. Perhaps she SIIOWK her GOOD sense in this. The campaign thin year i» a contest of principles and any of tho ladies involved are eminently worthy to preside over the Presidential mansion.

WHIMS Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Langtry are basiug a successful llnanclal season on tho laying ot $100,000 worth of new dresHes, some genuine dramatic talant is promised in the visit to this country of M. Coquolin and Mile. Huding, of Paris. Both are reputed to be actors of great ability and as neithor of thein baa played in America their forthcoming tour will bo one of the chief events of the season.

Tirrc latest story about Amelio Rives Chandler is that she went to a Netv YorK theatre tho othor evening proceeded by throo uniformed boys carrying two largo baskets of tlowers. These were on exhibition in her box during the performance, after which they were carried back to tho hotel in tho same state. Of course everybody will want to read Amelle's novels after that and whatever the flowon may havo cost they wore a good investment.

THE yellow fever panic is not as great as it was throughout the South and while the opidemic Is still raging in In Jacksonville it has not spread to othor citins to the extent that was feared and there is less terror In regard to it. At Jacksonville thcro havo been nearly cases and in the neighborhood of 250 death* that is about 10 per cent of the 'si*«os have been futal. As cooler weather comes on the plague will doubtless abato.

Mil. MJM.8 plumes hirnsolf on tho fnct tlwit his inrirt" bill makes a reduction or only tscvon per cent and iionco is not open to the charge of being a free trade moasuro. And right here is something for the working man to consider. Even if the Mills bill should actually cheapen a few articles neveo per ceut and, by opening up our markets to England, destroy or cripple our home industries and reduce wages anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent—for there is no telling what the ciul would bo—how much would American wage workers gain by the transaction? It is tho old story of all buzzard and no turkey.

Tut Republican Senators havo completed their tariff bill, which Is now readv to be matched against that of Mr. Mllli*. It is understood to make a reduction of 50 per cent, in tho duties on sugar ati|l rice, retain the duty on wool, reduce steel rails from $17 to $14, sweep away the tobacco tax and the tax on alcohol used in the art*, and leavo lumber and salt as they are. The total reduction limn made is estimated at $75,000,000 a year. The Southerners will not relish tho cut on sugar and rtee and will charg© that tho bill is sectional. But tho Mills bill is more sectional, since It favors the South to the detriment of the North.

DKNVKR IS catching on to the real estate era*© in tin© shape. Like all the other future great cities tho whole surrounding country is laid of in additions and one Raron von Riehtofen, a real estate speculator,seems to lw a sort of Marquis do MOIWI for doing things in grand style, arranged for a tent encampment for the entertainment of 1,000 visitors from abroad during a three days' sale of lota at Montclair, the past week. Montelalr, by the way, has among other attractions a castle built In imitation of the old eastlM of Germany and has prom l»e of cable and dummy line connection with Denver at an early day. Perhaps Montclair may be a good place to inveet money—for the Baron at least.

I* a recent letter from Sweden, ex mayor Harrison, of Chicago, says there la much complaint both in that conntry and Finland that America is drawing away their beat bone and alnew. Immigration nearly con terbalanc*» the natural increase of population, yet there la much wasteland which might be utilised wem it not for the high taxes. ThetuggetUre pert of this is that a country ao full of people aa out* to getting to be should keep on drawing thousands and millions from countries which do not want toko them, for it is said that both the cauntriee named would like to atop the integration from their shores If they knew how.

BURIAL REFORM\b .T~

The aubject of how best to dispose of enr dead la one that continues to attract attention and invite dr-scussion, and is likely t" do so uutil suU#t«ntf«l reforms in the present system are hr-"..--! aUiiu For one thing the senselesaextrav:stance of our funerals has been vigorously denounced and opposed by many rlvl-.t thinking people. The "rotation of 5:? matter has resulted already in «nmo change for the public taste, but there is still room for large improvement in this respect. The ceremony of burial sh( :M be more simple and inexpensive. The unbecoming ostentation so frequently displayed on such occasions, the lavish use of flowers, and other sources of needleas expense, should be abandoned.

Then comes up again the pUn of burning the dead instead of burying them. It is undoubtedly true that cremation is constantly making headway. Furnaces for burning dead bodies have been erected in several places in this country and the idea of reducing the bodies of our friends to ashes has become much less abhorent than it once was. The plan is that of ancient Greeks, who are accounted to have been the most artistic and poetical of people.

A later phase of tho whole matter is an organization within the Church of England, a representative of which is now in the United States,delivering lectures upon the subject. Among other plans of tlfts association is that of burying the dead in an open or wicker frame casket in order that the process of natural decay may take place as rapidly as possible, instead of being hindered by an imperious coffin or stone crypt until the retarded decomposition menaces the health of the living.

The subject in all its various phases is one of large interest to us all. Tho evils of tho present system are becoming generally recognized. How to remedy them is a problem that cannot receive too thorough investigation and discussion.

FREE TRADE.

What do we want free trade for? Haven't we tried the policy several times to our cost? The free trade act of 1833 was responsible for the panic of 1837, which involved the whole country in bankruptcy. The reaction against that policy elected General Harrison in 1840, restored the system of protection aud industrial and commercial prosperity. Again the Democrats came into power under Polk, free trado legislation ensued aud in 1857 another great panic swept over the country.

Since the beginning of the war" the protective policy has been pnruued and where in all the world is there another land that has prospered like this? We have grown rich and great farms have multiplied, citios and towns have sprung up, manufactories have developed in every part of tho Union. America has become the wonder and admiration of the whole earth.

Such policy is good onough to let alone. We have tried freo trade and we have tried protection. One has always brought disaster, the other never failed to bring prosperity. What need to experiment further? Protection is good enoughthere ia nothing better—let us stick to it.

WHEAT UP.

A voar ago wheat was only worth alout 70 cents in the Chicago market. Last Saturday it sold up to $1 for the first time in live years. It has gono as low as 00 cents sinco tho high prided of the war period and there wero predictions by well Informed dealers that dollar wheat vfcnild never be scon again in this country. They wore mistaken.

Tho ri.«e In the past year means something like $125,000,000 added to the value of tho wheat crop of tho United States. The increase is due to a short crop both here and in Europo. Whether or not the price will go higher or will even be maintained at tho present figures it is of course Impossible to fortoll. At all events tho farmor who has a goodly stock of the goldengralu in bis granaries is*to be congratulated.

Touching the subject of Professor Proctor's death, the Catholic Mirror, of Baltimore, says: "Thedeath of Professor Proctor of yellow fever is an old story, now, but it rocura to us, In connection with the thought of the arrogant claims that modern scienco makes that Profes sor Proctor turned his back on the church because he regarded her claims inferior to those formulated in the testimony of his senses. And yet, believing as ho did in science as the great panacea, we find him struck down by a disease which science cannot fathom or analyse. The unseen has grappled with the seen and. conquered. What more does Professor Tyndall know of the plague than the monks of the middle ages whom he condemns: Of what use was all Professor Proctor's science aa be lay helpless, priestless, perhaps prayerless, in the grasp of the yellow fiend?"

The people of our neighbor town, Toscola, 111., are much excited over the discovery of a natural gas well which waa struck on Thursday on the farm of Kverman Thompson, five miles northeast of that town, at the depth of 190 feet. A strung flow was struck, throwing water and stonea forty feet high. After upheaval subsided a pipe was inserted and a match applied, and aflame shot up to a height of thirty feet. At night the flame lights up the surrounding county, and can be seen for many mile*. The owner of the well la a wealthy farmer, and Is already talking of piping the gas to town for lighting and heating pur-

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT,

AMUSEMENTS,

COMEDY AND MINSTRELS AT NAYLOP.'S THE COMING4 WEEK.

Manager J. M. Hill, of the Union Square Theatre, New York City, has brought before the people several strong attractions, notable among them being Margaret Mather and Denmau Thompson in the "Old Homestead," and on Monday evening there appears at Nayior's a new aspirant for hr.jiors in .T:\mes C. Roach, who isalso mlor the gu.ii.inee of Mr. J. M. Hill, pr*onting his own play "Dan Darcy." Mr. Roach is new to Terre Haute as an actor but as an author he is widely known, he bcTrn the author of Scanlon*ssuccc-«fnl 'ciia.ay-ua-Lawn,r' Mr. Roach has kenthiscoun try for tho scene of action in the play, a weJl-to do, middle-aged Irish farmer for bis typo aud has him servo as the guardian angel of a foster daughter. Tho farm is in Jersey, and the marriage of the young, girl to a young man whose family repudiates her and throws her into the street leads Dan, her foster father, to New York City to search for her. The development of this story, with tho trip to the big city and the experiences there, with finally the return to the country, while connecting the incidents of the play by an interesting thread, gives ample opportunity for the delineation of the character of the warm-heart-ed, impulsive Irishman, to introduce various types of character and to furnish humor and pathos. It has been dubbed the "Joshua Whitcomb of the Irish drama," on accouut of the homely naturalness of the play and the character of Dan Darcy. The company supporting Mr. Roach is a very good one. They are accompanied by an excellent orchestra of metropolitan artists.

MINSTRELS.

Negro minstrelsy is absolutely the only genuiue form of amusement native toour country. The favorites of foreign lands, the imported opera and drama have undergone strange mutations, hewed, trimmed and transformed into countless shapes, but the art of minstrelsy like Tennyson's brook runs for* ever. The innocent fun, the rippling smile and the hearty laugh are still the universal concomitant of the many minstrel boys and the mere anticipation of a laughing treat in store creates a feeling of general satisfaction and no company can create that satisfaction any better than the old favorites, Johnson & Slavin, who aro billed Naylor's next Tuesday evening. The performance given by this company is one of the very best in the minstrel line, for it is the slang phrase goes a great show from 8tart to finish." The first paitis very unique aud thoroughly original. The company is chuck full of comedians including Slavin, Johnson, Dougherty, Quigley and others. As Terre Haute is considered a good minstrel town, Johnson A Slavin need have no fear of not playing to good business. Sale of seats opens Monday morning, 9 o'clock, at Button's Rook Store. "Held by tho Enomy" a magnificent play, was magnificently acted before a magnificent audience at Naylor's last night.

Howell Hansel, formerly a Terre Haute boy, will appear in the cast of "Dan Darcy" at the Opora house noxt Monday night.

Tho great men of our country have not, as a rule, coins from the elegant mansions of the cities, but from the Uog Cabins of the rural districts. Simple ways of liviug,freedom from dissipation, and enervating pleasures, simple remedies for disease, ull'dctive aud which leave no poison in the system, develop brawny, brainy men, who compel the world "to recognize their strength and power.

The wholesome, oid-fashioned Log Cabin remedies aro the safest aud sun st for family use. Our grand mothers knew how to prepare the teas and syrups of roots, herbs and Balsams which drive disease out of the system by natural methods and leavo no after ill etlects. The most potent of these old-time remedies were, after long and searching investigation, secured by H. 11. Waruer of safe cure fame, aud are now put out for the "healing of the nations" in the Warner's Log Cabin remedies.

Regulate tho regulator with Warner's Log Cabin saixaparilla and with pure blood giving health, strength, mental and bodilv vigor, you may hope to cope successfully with the most gigantic financial pioblems of the age, without wrecking health and manhood.
