^APKR FOR THE PEOPLE.

A. Bystander's Opinion.

It is ^satisfactory Indeed to watch the rapid and material progress in the equipment of the street railway for electric ear*. To be sure to-day, November 1st, ift the day the system was to be in operating order and the line la not nearly completed, but notwithstanding there ia no special cause for complaint. Undoubtedly the officers of the company have endeavored to carry out their promise and have failed aimpty for the rcanon that circumstances combined to make fulfillment impossible. Since they are not to blame, aud all evidences show. tbis to be the case, the weary pub lie should be lenient. The Bystander is well aware that patrons have had reaaon to storm and rave over the poor street car service aud that even now the best of service is not by any means at command. But better days will soon be here and in anticipation of these it would be wiser to forget present inconconveniences and past impositions When the ears go spinning over the rails at three times the present speed people will wonder that they ever accused the railway company of insincerity in the promises of improvement. Just now it ia decidedly interesting to walk along the streets and watch the workmen as they place the polos in position, string the wires, make track connections, etc The entire arrangement is such a recent innovation that even the wisest can be excused for stopping long enough to ask a few childish questions of the foreman in charge.

It occurs to the Bystamlor In the present course of events for Terre Hauteans That tho wisest and easiest way out of the complications likely to arise on election day is to vote the straight ticket.

That Congress struck the Terre Haute papers a severe blow whon it made the publication of drawings at church fairs Illegal for mall transportation.

That tho organization of a local foot ball team is likely to rapidly increase our death rate.

That the proposed benefit entertain ment for the Old Ladles' Home Is a most excellent and worthy movement.

That tho advances In prices due to the McKlnley bill are not materializing In this elty at the rate the News and Ga zette would have it appear.

That the reputation of the Kinggold band must be of wide extent when it takes them down to Georgia to furnish music for special occasions.

That the Rose Polytechnic mast be an unexcelled school when Dr. T. C. Men denhall, lt««*-pre#ident, sends his only son here to complete his education.

That the Coates College gymnasium under tho charge of a thorough professor, ts an institution the ladies of the elty have long been in need of and one which they should liberally support

That the hunt he* here are very successful in raising money from dramatic entertainments.

That it is to be regretted the season is abeut to close without the Main street sewer being even commenced.

That the saloon lioense is operating so smoothly it ahonld never be repealed. That Hallow'een superstitions no longer play tho part they once did.

And that the year 1890, which is rap Idly drawing to a close, has been one of prosperity to the city In building, com mercial and social interests. Think you not so?

It will probably be a number of years before the churches of the city will give two dramatic performances in one season equal to "The National Flower operetta and the Ben-Hur pantomime presentation. These money making enterprises, so radically different In all respect#, have been exceptional sue cesses one financially, socially and dramatically, the other socially and dramatically, but, not financially as compared with a previous effort. "The National Flower," possessing so much originality in conception and development* appealed to the popular love for light opera, and by its charming music and novel plot completely captured the three immense audiences which attended. It was a delightful surprise both in the scale and completeness of production, being free in addition of all feature# which would not meet with the approval of the most consistent church member, Ben-Hur appealed for favor upon an entirely different line, beautiful scenic effects and elaborate costuming being combined to produce an artistic interpretation of the world famous story, with varying majrehee and dances to Introduce novelty. No claim to originality was made and excellence in Impersonation of familiar characters only was strived at. The full accomplishment of this end was precluded by the limited time for preparation at command but notwithstanding the spectacle was pleasing and beautiful. It was perfectly natural that a mild spirit of rivalry between the two enterprises should spring up, especially since both were in preparation at the same Ume* It could not well have been otherwise, for by established precedent It is well known that rivalry is not to I* excluded from churns affair* any more than from ordinary worldly happening*. This account* for various unkind remark# that were made by some of ih« imerewKKi one* prior to the opervita pf¥«s tatton. For instance., It was enuwiy due u* this rivalry thatoa# character in Ben-Hur Mooaseei that be wottHl probably attend the operetta, a* he would no doubt be *m«*edby the amateur acting. Cm t£l» agwount*j

too, several young ladies will be excused for saying they could not afford to lose a night's sleep to go to the little opera, BO they would perhaps attend the matinre. They did not mean the criticism at all, for they went to every performance. Pardon will be also granted others for predicting the complete failure of Mrs. Adams' effort. The same may said of other comment#. They were not made In sincerity but merely In spirit of rivalry, not intended to injure but merely to afford topic for. conversation. But all these trivial ties aside, Ben-Hur and The National Flower, were really very elaborate church undertakings and their success was surprising.

The Walker damage suit has been decided against Terre Haute, and aa a result all the cities of the state using the Walker electric device in fire alarm service wlli have to sue for mercy at the hands of the fortunate inventor. The blow is a bard one, for undoubtedly heavy damages will be awarded and out of our treasury just beginning once more to see the light of day the goodmoney must come. It seems even more terrible since Walker agreed to compromise three years ago for $4,000. The council wouldn't go ovst $3,000 and so it became necessary to prepare for defense in court. Various city attorneys, H. C. Nevitt, Horace B. Jones and David N. Taylor, thought the suit could be won In case it went to trial, and so a league was formed with some of the other Indiana cities to fight the matter out. We spent fl,628.42 in collecting evidence and are now just that much extra out of pocket which gives rise to a feeling of extreme sadness.

The Gazette is endeavoring to elect David Taylor for Circuit Judge by very queer tactics, namely the conspicuous and continued publication of the fact that his apponent, S. C. Stimson, has beeu closely indentified with the temperance cause here. The Bystander is not fully aware of Mr. SUmson's full connection with the temperance people and Is not able po say confidently that he never takes a glass of liquor. But if he does not, isn't he exactly the man for the place? If a temperate man is needed in any official capacity is it not as judge ora court which has to deal with a class of men whose crimes are largely due to justsuch Indulgence as Mr. Stimson is said torefiaiu from?

Next Monday is the last day for paying the November installment of taxes.

Col. Tt. W. Thompson will speak at tho opera bouse to night. It will be the closing speech of the campaign.-

John J. Newhouse was granted a verdict for |400 In his suit against the Western Union for failure to deliver a mesMage announcing the serious illness of his mother, who died before the dispatch was delivered.

The newly equipped gymnasium at Coates college will be formally opened next Moadav evening, at which time Prof. Maxwoll will give a brief lecture on the subject of physical culture to the ladies of tbeclty. She will also illustrate the methods of training to be pursued with the young ladies of the college, aud will endeavor to show the many advantages such as a gymnasium affords.

Prof. H. T. Kddy, of Cincinnati, has finally accepted the presidency of the Rose Polytechnic institute, a letter so informing the trustees having been received a few days ago. His active presidency of the Cincinnati university continues for two months longei, however, so that he cannot assume his work here until January 1st, at least. Prof. Eddy's family is larger than either of his predecessors' and he will net occupy the residence belonging to the institute, but will build himself a home.

The firm of Shryer Bros., hardware dealers, so long identified with the commercial interests of the city, is no more, the entire business of both gentlemen being transferred this week to Mr. Charles Cooper, of Merom. The Messrs. Shryer have been leading men here for so long that they will be seriously missed in the business directory, but as they deem it to their best interests to re tire, one on account of health, the other on account of excess of business, their transfer will not be regretted.

Miss Leaa Eva Aiden, professor of piano instruction at Coates college, has been generously tendered the nse of a concert grand Knabe piano by the man* ufocturers for the several recitals which will be given by the college during the coming year. The Instrument is the very finest built by the Arm and will be shipped here from the Kransvllle head* quarters. It will practically be at Miss Alden's disposal during the entire winter, which is a very complimentary recognition both of her abiliiy and the standing of Oaafces college*

Emory P. Beauchanjp has been adjudged insane and* takeu to the asylum at Indianapolis. His case is one. calling for the deep sympathy of the public, in view of the fact that great Injustice was done him in the recent Syracuse affair for which he undoubtedly was entirely irresponsible. The insanity commission was composed of Drs. Willien and Stunkard Justices Felsenthal aud Wildy.

Miss Bstella May Dishon, the only daugher of James M. Dishon, died Thursday morning at the home of her parents on south Fourth street, of consumption. She was in her twenty-second year, and enjoyed the acquaintance of a large circle of young people who admired her tor her pleasing disposition and ladylike character. She was a loving daughter, and in all respects a young lady worthy of warm affection of those who knew her.

A copy of The Western Guide, pub liahed at Hendersonville, N. C., has been received giving a very complimentary notice of the opening of the Southern Hotel, of which Charles Smith and Dr. Hunt, of this city, are the proprietors. It speaks in high terms of both gentlemen and the inference gained is that they have made an excellent impression on the community. Robert Mitohell, also of this city, has charge of their dining hall.

A very delightful reception to all those who took part in the National Flower performance was given in the Congregational Sunday School room last evening. All the little ones were on hand and the weeds were out in full Hallow'een array, ready to do any and everything suggested. A most pleasant feature of the evening was the presentation of a small barrel containing $200 in gold to Mrs. Adams, as a token of recognition of her efforts in the Sunday School's behalf. The total receipts of the operetta were $060, of whioh amount $725 will be netted.
