TERRE HAUTE, FEB. 28, 1891.

THE new Kansas senator has arrived in Washington. His whiskers and Jerry Simpson's sockless feet will be the principal features of the Kansas Alliance in the next congress.

YUMA, California, has been washed away by flood, and its 1,200 inhabitants are homeless. From this it will be seen that even the great and glorious climate of California has its drawbacks.

Ax alabaster quarry of immense proportions have just been found in Colorado. If

The Koek consumption cure is being pretty generally denounced ss a failure, but then a failure on the part of the medical fraternity to denounce anything' new in their line would be something unheard of.

ON Saturday last the democrats of Rhode Island elected a member of congress without opposition. The republicans weren't in it. Little Rhody is veiy small in area, but when it comes to politics she is immensely democratic.

QUKEN VICTOUIA and her royal offspring, the Prince of Wales, had a spat the other day while attending a public ceremony. It is policy for them to quarrel among themselves rather than irritate their royalty ridden subjects.

MISSOURI ingoing to have a special session of the legislature next fall. Its object is to redistrict the state and give democrats more members of congress. Of course the proposition is favored by the Missourians generally.

ANOTJIKR aspirant to gubernatorial honors on the democratic ticket in this state is Hon. Gil. Bhanklin, editor of the Evansviile Courier. He is one of the ablest men in his party in the state, and will command a strong party following.

ANOTUKU Berlin physician has dis covered still another cure forcpnsumption. lie injects under the skin a solution of cantbaridide of potash in small doses. It differs from the Koch dlscov ery in that its discoverer claims for it that if it fnils to cure it will not kill.

CONOUKSH will adjourn next Wednesday, after which there will be a large number of statesmen, eminent and otherwise, out of a job. Nearly all of them will bob up serenely again as candidates at the first opportunity, and those who do not will probably bloom out as lobbyists in Washington.

SKCRKTAKY BI.AINK is the lion of the day because of his reciprocity scheme. He would have no time for work should he receive all the delegations that would like to call on him. But he reserves his time and strength, and lmving made a good start with Brazil is now busy negotiating with Spain in regard to Cuba.

GBNRKAI. BOUI.ANOKU has taken up his abode in Brussels, where he can plot against the peace of France without much danger to himself. But even there he is threatened with expulsion if caught in any political intrigue. He should come to this country and associate himself with O'Dynatnito Rosua.

SKNATOR Bi.ACKntmN, of Kentucky, and Congressman Bland are both out against the nomination of Cleveland for another presidential term. If this thing continues the Cleveland boom is bound to collapse, and then his ex-excellency cau write a letter on what he knows about blasted hopes and unrealised expectations. _________________

TIIK young Napoleon of finance, Henry S. Ives, has again made his appearance on Wall street. His first venture this time was the sale of sixteen miles of railroad to the Vanderbilts. This is a very modest beginning for the young man, but he will doubtless gather courage as he goes, and one of his old time sensations mav be expected before long.

The Gorman presidential boom is still abroad in the land, but its operations thus far are confined to the state Of Maryland, which, it is said, will send a solid delegation to the' national convention for him. With New York, Texas and Missouri for Hill, Indiana for Gray ami Maryland for Gorman, it looks as though the thing wont be as unanimous for Cleveland as was expected.

AVTRR all the severe oppression of the Jews by Russia may result in good to that remarkable race. The Csar seems determined to drive them out of hia dominions and the question presents itself, where are they to go? For several year* past there has been a movement to re gather the Jews into Palestine, and this persecution of them by Russia bids fair to give a new stimulus to the undertaking. _________________

the1 church in England would soon follow. It is now 22 years since Gladstone relieved Ireland of the burden of sapporting the Presbyterian menistry and the church of England, and it is high time that a similar law should be enactted for the relief of England, Scotland and Wales. Church and state shoald be divorced as widely as possible, but if religions bodies are to receive financial aid from the government all should be treated alike.

MB. PAHNBLX, now seems to be at war with all the world. Like a mad dog he snaps and snarls at everything in his path. He attacks the clergy of the Roman Catholic church in a country where five-sixths of the population belong to that denomibation, and from whom he has hertofore received bis principal support. While displaying much nerve, his discretion is similar to that of the bull which attacked the locomotive—it will end disastrously.

THE statement is mode by a Topeka paper that during a recent session of court in a Western Kansas county, the Judge bought, and presumably consumed, 27 quarts of vile whisky. The length of the session is not stated, but if it was short the capacity of the judge must have been great. At any rate he must have had a wonderful stomach. The man who cafr consume that much prohibition whisky in a short time would make a good subject for a dime museum. 'i

A CASE of persoual journalism in Columbus, Ohio, the other day resulted in the death of two persons, one of whom was a citizen who had nothing whatever to do with the scrape. One of the alleged journalists was killed and the other two are in jail on a charge of murder. The row yyas purely personal and the public was in no way benefitted by it. If its tragic ending will remove from the journalistic field all thepartici pators the world will be benefitted by it to that extent, and it it is to be hoped that others will learn a lesson from it.

LAST year this country produced $32,845,000 in gold, an increase of 945,000 over the preceding year. During the same period the silver product amounted to 857,225,000, against $46,750,000 in 1889. The gold product of the world last year is estimated at $118 490,000, a decrease from 1889 of $3,007,000, and the silver product at 130,050,000 ounces, an increase of 7,859,375. From the figures it will be seen that this country produces more of the precious metals than any other na tion on earth, and is likely to keep up its reputation in that line for along time tocomo.

THE report is revived that a line of English steamtrs is to be put on between Chicago and Etiglish ports. The matter was talked of a couple of years ago and has now taken definite shape in the organization of a company which will, it is said, build ten ships immediately to form a weekly line. As the Canadian canals are now deep enough te permit the passage of ocean vessels there seems to be nothing in the way of such a project, which would.undoubtedly prove a financial success, as it would intercept a yast amount of freight tarifle from the Northwest which goes from Atlantic ports,

ABOUT the most peculiar piece of political work done in recent years is the alleged agreement between the Democrats and Farmers' Alliance men of the far-separated States of South Dakota and Illinois. In neither Legislature did the farmers cqptrol anything like a majority but they held the balance of power as between the old parties. This being the situation they shrewdly bargained, so it is said, that if the Democrats would help them in Dakota they would help them in Illinois. In pursuance of this plan Mr. Kyle, the farmer candidate, was eleoted United States Senator from South Dakota. But if such an agreement was really made the Alliance men in t^he Illinois Legislature did not act promptly in keeping it, for they have not thus far voted for Palmer.

WILL gold be at a premium again in this country, as it was during the war? One of the peculiar signs of the times is the fact that many loans are now befogmade payable in gold coin and that a lower rate of interest is accepted for such paper than for notes having the usual stipulations. While this fact might Be considered ominous it is also hopeful, for it will have a tendency to open the eyes of the silver fanatics who insist upon unlimited silver coinage, and also to educate the general sentiment. Ther can be little doubt that unrestricted coinage of silver would bring the bulk of the silver of the world into this country and that all our gold would go abroad to pay for it. Gold would then .rise to a premium and the lender of money on the basis now existing would be a loser if he were repaid in depreciated currency.

SXTPPR3S2SS THE WHITE CAPS. There is at least one bill before the legislature which commends itself to every fair-minded citizen of the state, and it is to be hoped it will pan without a disenUng voice. The bill referred to was introduced by Senator Gilman, and is for the suppression of the white cap infamy, which has so long disgraced the state. The bill provides that any person who has received injuries at the hands of these outlaws can bring suit against the county in which the outrage was committed,, and recover damages, provided the outlaws have not been pusithed for their crime. This white cap organisation, if it has any organisation, has Ixsan in operation in this state for nearly twenty years, snd during the last few y«?*r* of Its existence, its outrages have become #o numerous, dendish and diabolical that Indiana has been

4,-

an infamous name throughout the length and breadth of the land. Private grievances have been avenged under the dis guise which clothes this hideous monster, until to-day hundreds of victims all over the state are suffering from its outrages. It is true there is a law on the statute books which, if enforced, would punish these cowardly outlaws, but, tin fortunately, there exists in the neighborhoods where they are found, a sentiment which forbids its enforcement. If the counties which tolerate theorgaiuza tion do not care to suppress it they should be made to pay the injured persons for the injuries sustained at the hands of those murderous wretches. The proposed bill is a good one. If it should fail in the ol ject for which it is intended it could do no harm. It should be given a trial, and it is to be hoped that enough sensible men can yet be found in the legislative halls to insure its passage.

GOVERNMENT CLERKS From all accounts the department clerks in Washington must have an exceedingly easy time of it. Of lc|te they seem to have been burdened with a desire to know what to .do with the holidays which have been thrust upon them, and at no time are they ever an overworked class. In the morning they emerge from their lodgings about nine oclock, and leisurely proceed to their places in the yarious departments, where they put in about two hours. Then they have an hour for lunch, after which they kill time at their posts until four o'clock, when they are through for the day. In addition to this it is told that many young men who hold clerkships, in addition to performing their duties, prepare themselves for the professions, and after the preparations have been completed many of them continue to hold their positions while they successfully follow up a practice. A number of cases have recently been cited to prove the truth of these statements. This combination of business with the government service is no doubts very satisfactory to those who can form it, but it should be stopped. If the government is going to follow kuch a rule the country should adopt the Bellamy scheme at once and be done with it.

CURING DRUNKARDS. Dr Keeley's establishment at Dwight, I1L, for the treatment of drunkards is attracting wide attention. And if this hospital does what is claimed for it there should be many mo^ hke j^jthrougjbout the land. ft

Dr Keeley is an old army surgeon and claims to have discoved a specific for the liquor vice, which he treats simply as a disease. By giving injections of chloride of gold into the systsm it is claimed that the desire for liquor is destroyed, so that the inebriate does not care for it any more. Others have treated the liquor habit on the same theory but not with equal success for it is stated that Dr. Keeley has all the patients'he can attend to and that hundreds of permanent cures baye been effected.

If it be really true that inebriety can be permanently cured by a system of medical treatment there will no longer be any excuse for drunkenness. The victim of drink himself* or his friends or family, can procure such treatment and cure him of the terrible malady. Next to educating the young against the evils of intoxication this plan of curing drunkards by medical treatment must

THE NEW SECRETARY^ In selecting a successor to the late Secretary Windom, the President has placed the treasury portfolio in the hands of a man whose business 'ability inspires confidence in business circles regardless of party feelings.- The new secretary, ex-Governor Foster, has beem a most sucoeesful man in the management of his own business affairs. No business man in Ohio is better knswn than he, while his successful political career has spread his name over a much wider area. He has represented his district in Congress eight years, and during his terms of service proved' himself to be one of the best representatives ever sent from bis State to the National Legislature. While a member his service on the ways and means committee gave him a familiarity with financial affairs which will be invaluable to him in his new position. In addition to his service in Congress Mr. Foster was Governor of Ohio from 1880 to 1884, his administration being one of the most popular and successful the State ever had. On the financial questions of the day the new secretary is in perfect accord with the administration. His record has been scrutinised closely since his name was mentioned in connection with this appointment and nothing was found to shake confidence in him. The appointment gives universal satisfaction, and no more can be said of it.

AMUSEMENTS.

PAUMKK HAliL TO-NIGHT.

The Pauline Hall comic opera company, an organization of oyer sixty people headed by the peerless comic opera favorite, Miss Pauline Hall, will make the initial bow to-night before a Terre Haute audience in the grand spectacular comic opera Amorita. The advance sale of seats has been quite flattering, and a crowded house is an assured fact. The company is considered to be the strongest comic opera organization en tour. They carry all their own scenery, in fact the opera will be staged in a manner that will outrival any similar production on the local stage. The chorus is large and well trained, the costumes rich and elegant, and the performance all the way through is one to commend itself to the theatre goers of this city. Don't fail to see Amorita tonight at Naylor's.

To make his patron^ merry, the manager of the opera house ha9 engaged tl services of J. C. Stewart's clever company. They will appear on Tuesday evening, March 3rd, in the roaring musical farce comedy of "The Two Johns." While all such comedies bear a certain similarity, "The Two Johns" has many distinctive features. The plot hinges on the antics of Peter and Phillip, the "Two Johns." The difficulty in distinguishing one from the other result* in many .embarrassing entanglementX The situations are funny in the extreme The comedy has been before the public a number of years and has been the most popular of its kind. The.company is materially the same as when last seen here, with Che addition of several specialty performers in their novel acts BSge&

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.

The version of Uncle Tom's Cabin interpreted by Stetsons Double Uncle Tom's Cabin company will be the attraction at Naylor's on Wednesday evening March 4th. The excellent company, two comical Topsies, ths two ludicious musical Marks, the elegant scenery, the novel mechanical eflects, the ferocious bloodhounds, two brass bands and the celebrated Lone Star Quartette will be enough to please lovers of this class of entertainment. Popular prices will prevail: 25,35 and 50 nts. ^.

SHENANDOAH. & frf

Branson Howard's beautiful and popular play, "Shenandoah," is founded on certain incidents of the late war, principal among which is the famous ride of General Phil. Sheridan to Winchester "twenty miles away." The scene depicting "Fighting Phil" as he "rode down the line 'mid a storm of huzzahs" is one of the greatest features of the performance. But it is not the grim glimpses of the war that are given in it that Lave popularized "Shenandoah." It is the sweet human nature, the tender heart touches, the appealing love of soldierly love-making chat is introduced at proper points. The wooing of Gertrude Ellingham by Ool. Kercheval West goes direct to every woman's heart, and the letter scene just before the retreat of the Union forces from Winchester Is lull revelation of the coyness and cleverness of the sex under the circumstance*. There is abundant humor In it, too, and It possesses all the qualities of a successful and great play. Opera house, Monday and Toesday, March 9th and 10th.

THE LAUGHING SENSATION. ^Tho sale of reserved seats for the appearance of the world famous Russell's comedians at Naylors on Monday began yesterday morning, and without all signs fail, the sale will be the largest of the season. The Cincinnati Enquirer says of this company:

The wisdom of Manager John Russell in selecting KO many disflnguishtd comedians for the production of his new farce comedy, "Miss McUinty, of the Comedie Francaise," wafi made apparent last week. Farce comedies invariably depend more on the ability of the cast, than on tne plot or construction of the play, and that "Miss McGinty" has achieved such a great success must, in all fairness, be largely credited to the brilliant star, Fay Templeton,and to the unrivaled artists who form the supporting company. This charming comedienne's portrayal of the title role was delightfully humorous and natural, and evidenced histrionic ability of the higher order. She was especially affective iu the Camllle scene, which elicited round after round of applause. In her famous Spanish dance her costume waS picturesque and btwitehlng and her movements were as graceful as wreaths of smoke In a sunbeam. Though this is probably the most unique and attractive feature of the entertainment there is much else well worth seeing and deserving of commendation. Harry Bell as FhidiasCiuch, fully sustains his reputation as an excellent light comedian, and Infuses a quiet, dry hu mor into his part making it lrr slstabiy funny. Tammany Blutl is well depicted by W. F. Mack, who made such a hit last season as the bu- co steerer in the "City Directory." Dan Daly is as amusing as ever in the character of Useless, the acrobatic valet The remaining members of the company, Charles N. Seamon, J. W. Ransom, George Lydlng, Jennie Batterlee, JessleSadler,

Lillian Rivers, Fannie Johnston and Nina Hayward, are ail admirable. THE TWO JOHNS.
