The appointment of two extra officers by the board of health this week is a good move in the right direction, if the board really meant business, and It Is to be hoped that it did. The wsrk of cleaning the city should have been commenced at least three months ago, Instead of commencing In midsummer. That the work could have been commenced long ago is evident. The sanitary officer sayB there will be trouble with the slaughter houses unions they keep their premises in better condition than they are at present, and say* the garbage men have not been attending to business promptly. There Is an ordinance which makes it the duty of the board or hoolth to Inspect all slaughter houses, butcher shops and fish markets, and to require that that they be kept clean and in good sanitary condition to Inspect meat and for sale and if any, bo fou nd that oloafol tie* domn the same and proffiblt its skfe forfood* There I* also an ordinance which provides that every slaughter house In town,orwlthin two miles of It, must be paved with brick, stone or tiling, and cemented so as to be water-tight, and said pavement raado with a descent toward a gutter, which shall pass through I ho same and lead to a tub or reser voir, placed so as to receive the blood and offhl. At this Kouson of the year the owners are required to clean the prcmlscsdally. The penalty is a fine noCles* than Ave nor more than one hundred dollars. The law Is a good one, but Is it over enforced? It was only the other day the announcement was mads that a man on east Main street used his yard for a slaughter house. Why Is he not prosecuted How often do the members of the board of health go out on an Inspection tour, and what Is the result of their Investigation

1'UIU.IC ST.AUDUTKK HOUSK.

The go as you please nmnner tn which the slaughter houses have been allowed to run here Is neither eonduelvo to health nor a guarantee that the animals are properly slaughtered. Of course there area number of butchers who conduct their business in strict accordance with the requirement* of the ordluauee, but they are few, and the many run slaughter houses regardless of sanitary requirements or anything else except profit. Ten or twelve years ago the board of health broached the subject of a public slaughter house where all the butchers would bo compelled to kill their stock, aud where, unddr the eye of a competent man, none but, healthy animals could be killed. The proposition met with no favor among the butchers, who wanted to continue in the old way, and made all sorts of promises that one and all they would keep their premises clean. Tito butchers held meetings to protest, the board of health held meetings to hear both sides of the cases, After carefully considering the political influence of the butchers the council decided to let the matter drop, and nothing further has been heard of it until about ten days ago when the subject was broached again, A public slaughter house should bo established. It would be a great benefit to the public in every respect, and could work no Injury to the butchers. It would be kept clean, alt animals slaughtered there would be carefully inspeeted so that diseased meat would be barred from the market, and butchers would have the advantage of It at cost. At present the consumer doesn't know anything about the meat he buy*, how it was slaughtered, the condition of the animal, or whether it died a natural death. XI the board of health is considering the matter His to be hoped It will carry Its point for such an establishment. rsuc*ysjtt sAivoojiK

The people of Terre Haute ate to b© con gnU.ulatcd if they have heard tbelast of the metropolitan case In the lower court#. The attention which it created at first was natural but when the change# were run-on it every day and It came to monopolize the attention of the court the dose became nauseating. In the final round In tbe-Buperlor court on Thursday the city was knockefiout once more. Judge McNu'.tfuled that the metropoll tans are not In contempt, and advised the city attorney to appeal to the Supreme court, which he finally consented to do. This is what should have been done some time ago, but perhaps it la better late than never, and It may be that a decision can jbeobtalned In a very short time—at least It lit to be hoped so. The cane Is now in good shape for an appeal by the city. The contempt proceeding* cover every point involved in the case. The attorneys have gone over all the issues repeatedly and are as well posted oa the law as they well can be. There can be no trouble In getting everything ready and laying the whole matter before the Supreme court 1b a week, or less time if the attorneys would exert themselves Just a little. The end seems very near now, but It may yet bo a long dlsdlstance Off if dilatory tactics arc resorted to, If the city wins thero la every reason to believe that every Democratic head now worn on police shoulders will be chopped off, and that the police board will go back to the old system of putting none but their party friends on the pay roll. Certain It Is that every man who has displayed any (sympathy for the metropolitan system will be bounced without ceremony, and it Is equally certain that the new deal will Include a new chief.

state law or the city ordinance, and they are the worst in the community. But when the liquor dealers complete their work what are the authorities going to do about it? Will the unlicensed be compelled to close or will they be allowed to ran along as they have been doing? This is certainly a case in which the great "law and order" crowd might go hand and band with the liquor dealers and accomplish some good. It would be a very easy matter to station a policeman at the door of a dive which pays no license and secure evidence sufficient to insure conviction. The police could be engaged In no better wprk. The 133 men who pay the city $33,250 a year should certainly be protected against the 19 who defraud It out of $4,750. It wguld be apathetic sight to see Dan Faslg and C. Bird King Join hands across the chasm and work together in unity for the enforcement of the liquor law, and would raise the belief that the millcninm is near at hand.

TUB GLORIOUS ffOUBTU

So fat* as a proper observance of the natal day in this locality Is concerned it might this year be more appropriately termed ihe Inglorious Fourth. So far as can be learned there will not be even a private observance of the day in Terre Hante. No society has taken any steps towards a public celebration, there will be no excursions In town, nor Is any other locality holding out any inducements to take our people elsewhere. Each year the Fourth of July patriotism seems to grow smaller by degrees and beautifully less. Away back in war times the Fourth was the great day of the year, and the only one considered worthy of special notice. In those days politics divided the people In the celebration, and each party held Its own. Every township in thecounty was largely represented In both processions, and the crowds who swarmed the city were immense. The procession was the feature of the day. It was several miles in length, and every fantastic and picturesque character ever thought of was represented. The "hewgags" were the small boy's delight, and he would follow them around as long as the* parade continued. Then there was the reading of the declaration, speeches aglore and the basket picnics. Everybody considered It his and her duty to turn out and celebrate, and everybody did it. But those were days when patriotism ran high then was the flood of tho tide, but ever since it has been ebbing, and the chances are that In a few more years It will go out entirely. People are too much rushed with work nowadays to give much attention to holidays, legal or otherwise, and the average man, If he takes any recreation at all, would rather witness a good base ball game than attend the most gorgeous Fourth of July celebration whlcli ever originated In the mind of mortal.

STREET BSAAITRA,

Tho complaints made against beggars of late In this town have been too numerousfor record, ,flmd A *1 grQ^ing one. tt^| Wicot ttfid tfkutaim^. Contribution with which io purchase something to eat. They each and all swoar they haven't broken fast for from 24 to48 hours, although they all have the appearance of stall-fed cattle. Qlve one of them a dime and It Is almostcertaln you will find him In front of tho next bar putting it up far whisky. None of them are deserving, and all should be put under arrest and made enrn a living on the stone pile for a time, They all favor this town because they are treated well. The Jail Is comfortable and Sheriff Stout gives them good meals. Then when they are around town they can beg a few dimes forwhUky. They toll not, neither do they spin, yet no millionaire has any better time than they. In almost any other place they would be mode to pay their way in a workhouse, but unfortunately this community has no such Institution, so It must onduro the vagrants and pay their board as long as they see fit to remain. There Is a great deal of talk of street improvement these times, and there Is a great deal of it be lng done from time to time, but no one hears of tho tramps doing anything in that line to reduce the surplus flesh w^ich accumulates from the good feed furnished by the county. When a loafer is sent to Jail the city prefers to keep him thereon good feed as the guest of the count}', while it pays for all the work done on the streets. It Isn't business, and you can have it if you guess what it is.

A cranky harness maker named James T. Allen, who Is a veteran of the late unpleasantness with only one leg, a widower with grown children, and a man who is supposed to have reached yean of discretion, was the dramatis p«rsonae in an attempted tragedy at J. W. Boston's boarding house last Monday night. Allen drew "his pension money a short time ago and at once proceeded to get on a spree, which he kept up with great regularity until his money was all gone. Then he sighed for another world, went to Gullck's drug store, purchased several grains of morphine, took it and then lay down to die. But some one dlscbvered his game, and Dr. Stunkard was summoned. By hard work, rougt) usage and the use of a strong pin the would be suicide was brought back to consciousness^ sobriety and a realization of the fact that he had committed a very foolish act. When entirely out of danger he apologised all around, and swore he would never do It again.

Dr. Samuel W. FouL«ton committed sciclde by shooting himself through the heart at his home In Haughrille, a suburb of Indianapolis, on Wednesday evening last.

Geraldine's Letter.

This is the sea£ou of tho year when all tho world is busy atteudlng commencement. Terre Haute furnishes three such occasions each year, and will soon furnish four, for next year Coates oollege will graduate her first pupils. Tho Polytechnic graduated a fine class Thursday, the High school another on Friday evening, aud next week the Normal will send out her class of splendidly equipped teachers. The Polytechnic graduates were especially fortunate lu having Colonel Thompson to address them, a man who never says anything that Is not worth remembering, and whose presence and whose words on this, oneof the greatest occasions of their lives, will be forever a precious memory to each of them.

Chauncey Depew made the address nt the closing exercises ol' the Cincinnati university commencement. Ho instanced tho Influence of old Harvard upon Boston, and of Yale/Upon Connecticut. Speaking of a multiplicity of colleges In America, as compared with the few in the old world, he said: In Europe the higher education was a privilege In America It Is a duty. Every oollege, he said, Is an insurance company against anarchy.

Those who were present at tho recitals given by tho pupils of Coates college could hardly fall to have been impressed by tho excellent work done by tho piano pupils of Miss Alden and Miss Hyle. They play so accurately, so artistically, with right emphasis and tone expression, which shows their careful training. To see such little girls as Bertha Ilobergand Minnie Thomas play long pieces entirely without their notes was remarkable. But great feats of musical memory have ceased to bo wondors.
