TERRE HAUTE, APRIL 4, 1891."
TH,K appellate court is grinding out •decisions at a rapid rate, and the attorneys are happy in consequence.
THKHK i« said to be a dangerous counterfeit two dollar silver certificate in circulation. The scarcity of two dollar bills ronder.s their detection difficult.
TIIK United States steamer Galena has been saved from her watery grave, and the naval officers are doubtless very sorry they didn't land heron the rocks with greater force.
TIIK Maine Senate has passed a bill which rloclaros that no man can vote in that state who cannot read. Such a law in Kentucky would mean a large reduction in the number of voters.
THKIU: is a rumor that Hon. E. H. Neboker of Fountain county, is to succeed Mr. J. NT. Huston as United States treasurer. If our Jim Johnston has any intiuence with this administration here ,is a lino opportunity to get in his work.
A YOI
NO
man has just left West Vir
ginia to avoid explaining to eighteen young women why he cannot marry them on the liOtli of this month. It seems that foolish maidens are as numerous in West Virginia as they are in othor localities, and that all they lack is an opportunity for development.
A f'Hic.uio doctor predicts that "la grippe" has como to stay, and that it will incroase from year to year, until it finally depopulates the earth. If the story didn't emanate from Chicago the windy city would probably charge that it had boon started by some green eyed rival with a view to injuring the World's 1V. r.
IT is announced that Edwin Booth will retire permanently from the stage tonight. Thnator goers will regret that age and failing health have caused America's greatost tragedian to take this step, but in his retirement Mr ilooth takes with him the regret of th public that this step has becomo neces iry, and their earnest wish that he may lire long to enjoy the reputation lie has so well oarnod.
Mil. HI.AINK resumed his duties in the state department this weok, and last Tuosday every daily paper in tho coun try contained the information that the distinguished secretary of state is in ex oellont hoalth. These notices will ap pear at regular intervals from now on till the republicans meet In national con yention next year, and it is not inspirit iug music to tho smaller fry with polit leal aspirations in the presidential lino.
Tins is the season of the year when tho nations of Europe fear their neigh bors and busily engage themselves in warlike preparations. Just now Ger many is aMiotert with a hideous night mare because of an alleged alliance botwoen Russia and France. It is on such occasions as this that tho young Emperor misses the sound judgment good nerve and qulot determination of •his one time friend Prince Bisiuarck.
SINCK 18:28 only 204-1 foreigners have taken out naturalization papers in Mexico, and of this number 1,147 were Spaulards and none Irish. From this It scorns that tho sister republic Isn't very popular with foreigners in general, and tho Irish In particular. But probably Mexico was Intended for Mexicans only, and certainly under existing ctrcum stances no other people have any desire to challenge their right to occupy it •exclusively.
WHEN Congress meets again it will be called upon to meet the expense of the late Senator Hearst's funeral, amounting to about $20,000. When the funeral party returned to Washington they had on hand a large supply of empty mineral water bottles, the whisky and wine bottle* having been thrown away on the trip. It la time to discontinue these junketing tours, which show no respect to tho dead, and are a disgrace to the living.
FHOM present indications it doesn't seem at all likely that Mr. Cleveland will receive tho vote of the Indiana delegation In the next Democratic National convention—at least not if the VoorheesGray combination can control it. and the chances are that they will. Twice recently Senator Veorhees has declared publicly *that Cleveland cannot carry this state, and he doubtless weighed his words well before giving utterance to them. His experience in the campaign of 1S72 taught Mr Voorhees that crow is a v«ry nauseating dose, but he doesn't seem to think he will have to repeat his experience of that year in 18&2. Mr. Cievfland's lx»om seems to bo on the decline.
AOTHKH political party will be launched upon the country in Cincinnation the HUh of May next, provided a sufficient number of persons can be drawn together there on that date for the purpose. Charles A. Power, "Oar Charley," is chief pusher in the matter. He \n in Cincinnati now, and seems to be wound up for the season. In an Interview th© other day he confided to a reporter that he I* in that city "to inter.
est the business men in the affair, not as a matter of politics, bat as a matter of business." Those who know Power are aware of the fact that it is a matter of "business" with him all the way through. Take away the "business" portion and subsequent proceedings interest Power no more.
THE ITALIAN TROUBLE. Last Tuesday the news was flashed across the country that Italy had with drawn ber representative from Wash ington, because this country had failed to account satisfactorily for the summary manner in which a number of Italian murderers had met their fate in New Orleans. The withdrawal was made in the face of the fact that the matter was still under investigation by the authorities in Washington, and the assurance that satisfaction would be accorded under the existing treaty and the law of the land. The action of the Italian government was In the nature of a surprise, and can be accounted for only on the ground that the Italian minister to this country is unpopular at home, and that the New Orleans incident was used as an excuse to get rid of him or that it was done for political effect in Italy. At all events the step was hasty, ill-advised, and without sufficient cause. The strained relations may cause a little trouble in diplomatic circles, but no one seriously thinks that war will ensue. The cause is too trivial. If Italy is going to defend her cut throats in America she has a large contract on hand, and if her subjects cannot behave themselves in this country as Americans do she had better remove them home again. The present trouble is this country's opportunity to guard against its recurrence by restricting immigration from the classes which in this case Italy very foolishly seeks to protect.
EXCO URA GE THE SHO W. A short time after his appointment as commissioner of Indian affairs, Gen. T. J. Morgan addressed a circular letter to the Indian agents throughout the country, asking their opinions about the ad visability of allowing the Indians to leave their reservations for the purpose of becoming members of wild west shows and kindred oiganizations. The result of the answers was the promul gation of an order by the commissione that in future no Indians would be al lowed to leave their reservations for the purpose named, and those in Europe with "Buffalo Bill" were recalled. Upon their arrival in this county the ex members of tho "wild west" were in terviewed by a committee of the Indian Rights association, and the interview resulted in a complete vindication the management. The Indians were re turiled to the Sioux reservation, where they belonged, and about that time the Indian troubles commenced. The "show Indians stood by the government, and their manager rendered valuable assist ance in suppressing the outbreak. Later Mr. Cody, or "Buflalo Bill," made ap plication to the commissioner of Indian allairs for permission to take a number of those Indians off on another "wild west" expedition. The commissioner refused, but the refusal was overruled by the secretary of the Interior, and the Indians will go. Because be was over ruled the Indian commissioner is natur ally indignant, and being of a domin caring disposition, he naturally thinks the secretary of the Interior should re sign. But the probabilities are ttiat if a resignation has to bo tendered it will be that of the commissioner. It turns ou that the Indians selected to accompany the show are those who would be sure to canso trouble if allowed to remain at homo, and as the recent unpleasantness cost the country the lives of many good inon and about two millions of dollars the impression naturally prevails that the Indians should be allowed to go Undor such circumstances there is a dis position to entourage wild west shows to tho extent of taking away every Iudian in the country. If Secretary N'vble can only find enough "wild west" shows to absorb the whole Indian population and take them away from their native haunts forever, he will not only solve the Indian question, but will relieve the country of au immense expense and responsibility, and receive the thanks of every American citizen.
Oh! No You Don't.
The voice came from a Main street merchant whe advertised that he is giving away goods. He was speaking to a girl who was helping herself to nave the man the trouble. "You don't suppose I give goods for nothing, do you?" "Why, don't you? Well, I can ge to Boegeman's and get them for next to nothing. He sells cheaper than you do."
And she left him to turn down Fourth street wnere she said they are truthful and declares that she never saw so many nice shoes and slippers for the money.
Owing to the recent bad weather our enterprising shoe dealer, T. J. Griffith, has been unable to complete his new room and remove his stock this week, but expects to make the change early next week, when he will have the finest store in the city. In the mean time he caa be found at the old stand on south Fourth street, where be has a large and select stock of all the latest styles and best manufacture of ladies, gents and children's shoe®, which he Li telling at remarkably low prices.
