TERRE HAUTE, AUGUST 31, 1888
VACANT PULPITS.
For Home time past the press baa called attention to the fact that more ministers are needed. There are many vacant pulpits throughout the land and the number of candidates for the clerical profession is constantly diminishing It is said that within a few miles aronnd Boston not less than thirty important and wealthy congregations are without pastor*. Some of them have had several calls declined while others, after having different candidates, have been unable 4o agree upon any one of them.
JPreacbers of zeal and ability have the pick of the field, and can afiord to be tolerably independent. Some years ago Jbalf the students in New England col lege* were preparing for the ministry, Vow the proportion is less than one in four. The demand for young men for tbe ministry is so great that all the expenses of preparatory study for their -work will be paid. Despite such inducements young men rush by the thousands into the overcrowded profes sions of law, medicine and journalism, while the once favored calling of the clergyman is passed by. It is the theory that God "calls" the minister to his work. If this be so is it to be supposed that he is not calling men now as of old, or is it that the young men of to-day refuse to heed the divine command?
Something is wrong surely. The fields are white for the harvest but the labor ers are few. Yet we may be sure that Ootl will take care of his work in the world. We may not know why certain things are as they are, for "Ood moves In a mysterious way
I Ha wonders to perform,"
Hut the end Will be reached in his own way and time. There is one suggestion, howover, which occurs to us in this con noction. Why not consolidate many of the small and weak churches, making InrgB and strong ones out of them? Where now are two or three small churches, half-alive and without regular pastors, one vigorous, working congregation could be made, able to secure a competent pastor at a fair salary. Nowadays denominationalism sits more loosely on church members than ever before. Less attention is paid to creeds and more to the cardinal tenets of the Christian religion. It is customary in many places for different denominations to join in union services atoertain times and such meetings never fall to be pleasant and profitable. The multiplication of small and feeble churches so that every demonination may be presented village has long been a subject for ridicule even among reugtous people. If all are serving one master why the need of so many sects There is no call for them the points of difference are mainly unimportant. A union and •trengthening of the churches, thus making it practicable to secure good pastors for all, would be a movement in tho direction of real Christian progress
XXIT ELIXIR VITAS:
As The Mail predicted from the outset the Brown-Sequard elixir erase has been of short duration. Practically It has already dropped out of sight. The wild claims made for It prove to have been without solid foundation. It neither tnakes old men young nor cures disease. It is a bit of medical quackery, with lees potency for good than power for evil for it has developed that some of the 'victims upon whom it was tried have toeen seriously harmed by the potion. One of the worst features of the thing is the danger of introducing disease germs into the system, snch as septic or tuberculous infection. While all reasonable precaution* might be taken to select only healthy animals for the purpose, It is impossible to always know whether the not mal be perfectly sound or not. There may easily be the latent seeds of disease not yet sufficiently developed to be discoverable In the young animal selected. Another great danger lies in the use of a preparation a few hours old. If the .•lightest corruption has begun the injection becomes deadly,
It Is well that the erase has so soon .had Its day. Oppoaed to all known physiological and biological laws and to the known laws of nature as well, there never was any ground to expect lasting good from it. The medical fraternity jgare it far more attention than it deserved and the preas instantly advertised it throughout the world. But it has gone Ah« way of the thousand fooliah things fcafore it and of the thousands that will follow It. Humanity Is ever ready to believe In the marvelous and dearly fovea to have it put to the test* If some one would claim the boo very of a potion that would restore the dead to Hfe be would not want for followers, just as pretended Christs have always been ah1* to gather dupes around them, tad as reedlly to-day as in pest centuries.

LAW REFORM.
The American Bar Association held its annual session tnis week in Chicago. The address of the venerable president, David Dudley Field, was replete with valuable suggestions. He declared that it takes longer and Is harder to punish a criminal in this country than in any other civilized country in the world. It also takes longer to try a civil case in this country than anywhere else. There are 06,000 lawyers in the United States for 60,000,000 people. In France, for 40,000,000 people there are 8,000 lawyers. Germany has 45,000,000 people and only 7,000 lawyers. Hie laws of this country are not in a compact and intelligent form. It takes a learned man a long time to find out what the law on any given point is. In France a workinggirl can read the law and understand it.
It is scandalous that in a country which has made sneh rapid progress is everything else we should be far behind the old, law-burdened countries of Europe. The fact is we have too many lawyers, too many laws and too much litigation. The whole legal system needs simplification and condensation. Judge Field has been ernest in his efforts to bring such a change about but he does not seem to have had much help from his brother jurists. The press and the people most take bold of the matter and demand the reform in a manner that will make their wishes respected.
"LICE" HALFORD will have the sympathy of all decent people in his fight against the cigarette maker who ^as been using his daughter's picture for advertising his wares. Mr. Halford has sued the offendei and will, it is to be hoped, secure a good round judgment against him, as well as enjoin the unauthorized use of the photograph. As the Chicago Tribune well says:
UA
woman's face is her own. It may not be pretty enough to be her fortune, but, fair or homely, it is her own property, especially when she is not what is called a "public character"'--an actress or a singer, for instance. A photographer cannot sell pictures of an individual who notifies him that such publicity is unpleasant. If he does he gets into trouble with the courts." It is decidedly unpleasant to a refined woman to have her picture used for course advertising purposes and it is high time to call a halt in this kind of business.
IT is really not to be wondered at that insanity increases rapidly with the growth of civilization in modern times. The tremendous strife and competition in business, the desperate struggle men make, not so much for a livelihood as to enable their wives and daughters to shine In so-called ''society," the frequent failures and the heavy burden of anxiety and (care—no wonder people go crazy. The greater wonder is that so many of them remain sane. This feature of our civilisation ought to be changed and it doubtless will be. The evil will become so unendurable that intelligent men and women will rebel against it ana iMttgamu a ranrA moderate and sensible form of living.
SosfK of the newspapers are predicting or at least fearing a financial .Qtringpency in New York, there being indications In that direction. Yet the crop prospeet is exoellent and the outlook for fall and winter trade is highly promising. Under suoh circumstances there would hardly seem to be any necessity of a panle-ev even serious financial stress. There appears to be no good reasen why the country should not ha\e a prosperous season and we believe it will have* There have been annual predictions e# panics for several years past) but they have not oome.

THK population of Europe has only doubled since 1800. Then it was 176^00,000 now it is .350,000,000. That is net nearly equal to the rate of .increase to this country, but those who figure on a continuous increase in the United Statee equal to that of the past will be disappointed. But people will mnMiply fast enough, no danger on that soore. However, we do hot share the fear of certain pessimistic philosophers that aaore people will oome into the world than can to provided for. Nature never makes that kind of blundere.
THK Railway Age enters a forcible plea against the reckless racing ef ooean steamers, which seems to have beeome popular of late. The danger is not lessened by the icebergs which have been floating across their tracks. Similar racing between rival railroads would not he tolerated. Why should it be allowed by steamship-?

TERRS HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT,
OBITUARY
COI~ ROBERT N. HUDSOW.
CoL Hudson is dead! Seldom has this community been more shocked and startled than when this announcement was made on our streets yesterday afternoon. It was known that the Colonel had been seriously ill for four or five weeks, but there was a general impression that he was improving, and his friends were not prepared for the sad news of his death, whioh occurred yesterday at 12 o'clock.
Col. Robert N. Hudson wss born on November 9th, 1820, at Brookville, Franklin county, Indiana. He came to this city in 1840, graduated at Asbury University in 1844, and theuce commenced the study of law in the office of Hon. R. W. Thompson. After three years of diligent study he began the practice. He was twice elected a member of the General Assembly of the State —in 1849 and 1853. He has several times been connected with the newspaper press In this city, and was an able and trenchant writer. In 1860 he was elected as "Agent of State" by the Legislature, and went to the city of New York. The next year, on the breaking out of the war, he entered the service of the United States in which he bore a gallant and conspicuous part.
Col. Hudson was married to Miss Mary Shaw, a most estimable lady, at Evansville, Indiana, in 1864. She survive*) him, together with two daughters, Misses Elise and Anita, and three sons, Morton, Robert and Henry.
Col. Hudson was a just man—und remarkable for his mental integrity—that is to say, he had a strong disposition to follow his mental operations to their just and logical conclusions, although they might conflict with his former prejudices or predilections.
He was peculiarly asocial and domestic man, and spent his leisure hours al» most exclusively with his friends at the club or in the bosom of his family, whom he loved so much.
As a husband he was loyal, tender and true as a father, kind, affectionate and indulgent as a soldier, without fear and without reproach as a citizen, publicspirited and patriotic. He was a man of remarkable intelligence and of varied and extensive reading. Much as the public will miss him, his intimate friends and acquaintances, who so often met him in the social circle, will more keenly feel the loss of the urbane gen tleman, the loyal friend, and the bright intelligence with which he discussed topics of "deep pliylosophy, wit, eloquence and poesy." He has gone, and in the busy hum of the human hive, the young, the thoughtless and the gay, may little reek, and may not long remember the good man who has been taken from our midst, but bis old friends who have known and loved him from youth to age, will cherish his memory to the clostag scene of life.

The funeral will ocour from the family residence at 2 p. m. to-morrow. DR. J08KPH RICHARDSON.
Only two hours after the death of Oofc»»»i xxtuition, another pioneer oUtten, Dr. Joseph Richardson, passed Way. His illness was of long duration, extending through many months, although occasional rapid improvement gave much hope for bis recovery. On Wednesday night, however, his oondition grew worse and be sank gradually until death came as a release. Dr. Richardson was a man of very wide acquaintance, and bis many excellent traits of character displayed through years of active public, as well as private life, were made known to all. Everyone who came in contact with him became hte warm friend. As a father and husband be was a model man, loving his family with an iutensity pleasing to witness. The loea of three bright and beantifo) children was a severe blow to him, bat only increased his. affection tor tboee who remained.j
Mre.S. B. Gookins, widow of Judge Gookina, an old resident of this city, died at Columbus, G*. Sunday Mrs. Gookins was very weil known here and her many friends will mourn her toss. She was the daughter of John W Oaborn, the pioneer editor of the Wabash Register, the predecessor of the Courier and Rxoress. The remains were brought to this city and interred In Woodlawn cemetery by the side of her husband, on Wednesday. niss maxis scnanr.

It was while carrying out her intention of becoming a teacher of music that the attack of typhoid fever from which she died came on.
