A Bystander's Opinion

A more miaeiable farce was- never en acted in Terre Haute than that of last Saturday evening on the question of enforcement of tbe State saloon law Miserable is not a strong enough term to characterize it. Listen to this brief syuojsis of tbe play

Hoyt'a "Bo rich of Keys" could not tie fnnnier for those who view the varying •icencK from afar. Mr#. Stowe's death of iiule Eva could not be more pathetic for thotto who them near at hand. The fiasco, for such only can it beeonsiatently termed, was a mournful ending to what advocates of moral reform for the city had hopefully thought would be promising success. The complete col iapso of the commendable effort, only more forcibly illustrate# the conceded inconstancy of men in official positions To begin with, when the police board order wan adopted Mr, Haggerty voted "no" on the measure, thereby violating the promise through which be waaelected t« the council. Meswra, Steele and ttrlHwold voted "yea," thereby establish ing their right to the respect of the com munity at large. To end with, Mr Steele turned round, voted "no," and in HO

doing upset the whole arrangement, Mayor Dftnaldsou. be whom the law abiding populace supported and elected in the hope thai courage would not fall him were ho called upon to do his duty eomploted tbe reversal of the machinery by sanctioning tbe reopenIng order. The police head* abided by the actions of their Mippoaed political superiors, and tbe drinking went on. Now we are in a worse position than boforo the fight on the saloons waa ever thought of, simply in that the liquor men have won a great victory which irlves thom courage in the conflict as it continues to develop. The war is to be carried into the coming council mooting?where each councilman and his honor, too, will bo given chance to iniike known his position. What will then be the result?

In all the turmoil which has resulted from the farce, three llgures stand out conspicuously, Mayor Danaldson, Mr, King and Mr. Stcelo. Ills honor, the mayor, is being criticised from morning till night, Mr. King is being praised, and Mr. Steele Is being pilled. Etudi is no doubt deserving of the sentiment bestowed upon him. Mr. D&nttldson could have kept the saloon doors dosed by re fusing to listen to the appeals for his signature to the revoking order. True, he really did not sign the document question, but ho did what virtually amounted to the snme thing. Then he permitted himself to be called away from the council chamber when he was aware that the saloon question would come up and that In ease of a tie vote (which actually materlallxed) he would be forced to make known on which side or the fence Ho stood. This action on his part waa unexpected by many of his political supporters, and it must frankly bo said that ho gave evidence of lack of courage to face the liquor element. He could have proven himself an honor to the mayor's chair, but he failed to do it. Mr, King Is conspicuous by reason of his determination to close the saloons or meet political death in the effort. He is a man among men, one with firm and excellent convictions, having the courage to tight for them, cost what it way. No wonder he is being praised. Mr. Steele Is aiso a man whose intentions are good. His wavering position is due to circumstance* which would cause any other man situated as he is to do exactly as he has done, By his vote for the enforcement of the law, he evidenced his good intent, and took a position which he weuld probably have maintained had not come to deciding between hi* conscience *nd his business interest*. This Is why he Is being pitted.

Hut the question has not been finally decided. The revoking order only giants the saloon men two weeks of grace in which to work upon the councilman, as at the next meeting the ordinance which Mr, King introduced and which calls for the strict enforcement of the law In to be tin ally voted on. This is the measure on which the tie vote resulted at the last meeting and which would hay* compelled his honor to announce himself unequivocally. Another opportunity will be given «*eh man ot councilmanic authority to right himself in the estimation of the public, and Mayor Danaldson may so conduct himself aa to can** tbe proprietor of the Health Ofttc* to regret that he voted for him. Let all hope this will be Hie conclusion.

The beautiful floral exhibit IndUnspoilt has teen enjoying this week excites the envy of many Terre lUute people. It seem* a little bit hard that we cannot have some such aflWr hern, especially since our florist* go there and Invariably walk away with flrsi pri*«*. Thl* ffurt experience was no exception to the rate, Mr. M. A. Hunt, the enerjseUe fvmpri*t«r of Uiff rosary sa#t of the city, and who hs« tbe Indiana association of florist* as fiwiii«ai Siting tbe ia»t $mt, took orrt a liberal display «f rmm and cspntmi first premium* on mtm vwHte-

8SSIflillS?8lSi

Uea, including Pearl, Catharine Mermet, Madame Hoate, Papa Gontier, Ni photos and American Beauty. He also secured a special prize offered by the Indianapolis Water Works company. And only last week he received at the great Chicago chrysanthemum exhibit *even out of eight first prorata ins for which he en tered. This speaks much praise for Mr Hunt's flowers, as he contested at both displays against a large number of prom Inent florists. If, then, Terre Haute flowers are superior, could not the city have a superior flower show? Of course it would be assuming metropolitan airs to undertake such a thing, but without a little courage in taking hold of new things nothing will ever be accomplished toward advancing the city. Perhaps tbe Indiana association could be induced to make an exhibit here. Why not try?

Tbe annual meeting of that most excellent association, tbe Society for Organized Charity, was held Thursday afternoon, and in consequence the'officers will start out into another year's work stimulated by new energy and the knowledge of having accomplished in 1839-SG more good than ever before in the organization's history. The meeting was a spirited and .enthusiastic one. The directors seemed alive to the necessity of taking great interest, and carefully and fully considered each feature of the work. The report cf the general secretary, William C. Small wood, was attentively listened to, and during th'e progreHS of the meeting a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered him for the very efficient and successful manner in which he has performed his duties This vote was deserved, for undoubtedly Mr. Smallwood has been an excellent, conscientious secretary, and has done everything4n his power to make the influence of the organization as widely felt as possible in benefitting the needy and at the Name time coniiningdisbursements to the very lowest limit. The Bystander wishes that he might give a full sketch of the scope and aim of the society and explain its detailed workings, but that is not possible, and in the brief space allotted can only emphasize what every one knows, that the society is an institution radically necessary for tbe good of the city, and which has prevented untold suffering and misery and has helped lo elevate in more ways than one the moral standing of many an unfortunate. It has worked good in divers channels, and should receive every encouragement and support possible to tonderJt. If an appeal for aid is made, this assistance should be liberally given, for In turn the best uses of the money given will bo made. It is to be hoped that in the coming year ^usefulness as an organization will increase and its foundations for loug.continued life bo made secure.

The mayor of Brazil has been deposed by the council of that place for inebriety.

TERRE HATJTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

The saloon ordinance, under which keepers selling without licence have been fined heretofore, has been found defective, and to fully covjwr tbe ground intended in its construction will have to be amended. By a decision of Judge Mack in the Theodore Kreischer case, an offender cannot be fined more than once for a violation. This is a reversal of the decision given by Mayor Danaldson in the same case, and is a victory for the saloon men. ill

A:young lady giving the name of Towne, and claiming to be related to a wealthy Miss Matilda Towne, of Chicago, and also niece and ward of J. H. Walker, of the big dry goods house of J. H. Walker A Co., Chicago, registered at the Terre Haute house Wednesday night. She told tbe hotel people that she had come down from Chicago to enter St. Marys of the Woods, and yesterday asked them to cash a $300 check to which J. H. Walker's name was signed. The request was not granted immediately on pretense of having to wait for Manager Baur, and in the meantime telegrams were sent to Chicago which developed that the signature was not genuine. Miss Towne took breakfast at the hotel this morning and it remains to be seen what developments the case will evolve.

In his sermon last Sunday morning Rev. L. Kirtley related a very beautiful and pathetip story of the Christian devotion of a child seven years old. Tbe little one was the daughter of Mr Monkbouse, of east Poplar street, who with his wife and two older children was received into full membership with the Baptist church only two weeks ago The child shared the Christian love of the older members of the family, and on Wednesday morning of last week asked to be allowed to offer prayer for all at the family altar. Consent was given and she made a touching appeal for mercy. Two mornings later the little servant of God lay dying upon her bed In the delirium of a burning fever a consciousness of approaching death seemed to possess her, and she sung with great pathos that beautiful hymn "Blessed be the tie that binds." Not long afterward the last spark of life departed, and her soul passed to the life beyond. Could there be a truer picture of consistent Christian character?

A very unexpected wedding this woek was that of Miss May mo Briggs, one of the city's most charming young ladies, and Mr. Bort L. Millican, a promising young business man, who oame here not a great while ago from Madison, Ind on Wednesday morning. Very few of the friends of Miss Briggs were aware that it was to iake place, and a very limited number of guests were privileged to witness the ceremony. The marriage took place at the home of the bride's father, Mr. Leonard Briggs, in parlors which wore filled with blooming hothouse plants, and was very impressive Rev. Pierce officiated, pronouncing the solemn service at tbe conclusion of the wedding march playod by the full Ringgold orchestra. After the ceremony a bounteous breakfast was served, and to this there were also invited the children of the neighborhood, who have been her special friends. At noon the bride and groom left on their bridal tour in the South. They will be at home at 422 north Fifth street after December 1st. The groom's parents,who reside at Madison, were too advanced in years to come to the wedding, so the young couple will first make a visit with them, then going south. Many handsome presents were received, a check for §5,500 from Mr. Briggs and auotber from Mr. Millican, the groom's father, for $5,000, being not tbe least attractive.

S. Loeb, the popular hatter, has made arrangements for moving his stock from his present room at 5th and Main streets to the room occupied until recently by Joe Miller's grocery at 515 Main street. The ohange will not be made until Dec. 1st and In the moan time he will be pleased to give patrons the benefit of lower prices in order to reduce stock.

C. W, Melting's new number is 060 Main street. Patrons should impress this freely upon their minds, so as to avoid all trouble in finding the plaos. He is more than pleased with his change and from the increased amount of trade received is quite certain that he will .have no cause to regret having undertaken to so greatly improve his store and raised the standard of art supply houses for Terre Haute.

At Fiabeck's west Main street furniture bouse, No. 311, yon will fiod ope of the most complete stocks of furniture In the city.

The real estate and rental business, as conducted in booming Western cities, is one in which fraud plays a far greater part than honesty. This comes from the fact that agents, as a rule, are wholly unknown and extremely unreliable. In this city the business is conducted on an entirely different basis. Especially is this true with W. M. Slaughter. He is so well and favorably known here that owners of property and tenants can trust him to the -fullest extent to as faithfully guard their interests as he would his own. If you have real estate to buy or sell, or wish to rent property or secure a rental agent, call on him at 824 Ohio street.
