TERKK HAUTE. OCT., 31, 1801.

KASHA* claims that it raises more sugar caue, and of abetter quality than can be found anywhere In the south. Nature baa dune much for Kansas. Look at Jerry Simpson, for instance.

A PiTTBUiTfto preacher i» to b«» publicly rebuked for marrying a brother minister to tbelatter's deceased wife's sister. It is, perhaps, needles* to state that he is a Presbyterian of the old school.

IT is reported that in western Kansas anthrasbed wheat is damaged from twenty-live to fifty percent, on account of wet weather and poor shocking That is the portion of the state which elected Jerry Simpson to congress, and where the farmer has been devoting so much attention to the alliance as a political machine that it has been utterly impossible for him to save his crop.

GKN'EKAI," K. BIIUJ OKI*n», who is United States minister to Spain, is soon to be married to a Scotch belle. In order to give *clat to the occasion the general has taken over with him six members of a Philadelphia cavalry organization, who are to act as ushers at the wedding, arrayed in all the splendor of magnificent uniforms. Like many others who part tholr names that very way General Grubb is considerable of an ass himself.

Tin: belief that tho death of Parnell would heal the difference in tho Irish political ranks seems to have been without foundation. it were possiblo the factions have been more abusive of each other than they *vere before. A Kilkenny cat light or Donnybrook fair is only a mil.I diversion in comparison with the war which is now going on. lint then Mich things aro to be expected in Irish politics. AH a rule tho Irish statesman Is nothing if not sanguinary.

TitKiti'". are ntill alive and drawing pensions twenty widows and three daughters of soldiers of tho revolution. One of the widows, Nancy A. Groen, resides in Napoleon, this state she is seventythree years old, and is tho youngest of the list. The oldest is Anna Maria Young, of KasUui, l*a., who is ninetynine years old. Although it is neatly eightv years since the war of 1S12 closed there aro on the pension rolls 7,fl»0 widows of soldiers engaged in that conflict, several of whom will doubtless be alive a quarter of century hence.

Foil several days the papers have been full of accounts of the trouble between this country and Ohili. There Is no doubt that the United States has been deeply Insulted, and that reparation should and must be made. It Is true that ('hill has sent back an unsatisfactory answer to the demand which iias been made bv the government, but she will settle all the same. This is a matter in which all American citizens are deeply interested, and all patriotic Americans will stand by the administration In the stand It has taken regardless of politics.

pruiNo September this country received .V2,TiH! immigrants as compared with 45,478 during the same month last year. During tho nine mouths ended October IS there were landed in this country 'ltM»,27« Immigrant*, against H8l,!WW during the same period last year. Germany led the the list with nearly 11,000, and ,Ku»sia was a very close second. The report does not state how many were returned to their native land, but the tuunber was doubtless small. It seems as though the scum of Kurope which Is unloaded on the shores of this country has no trouble in passing muster when it strikes the immigration commissioner or his representative*.

IN reply to inquiries the surgeon to the Gloucester Kugland)county Infirm* arv informs the I^ancet that bo has treated thirty cases of diphtheria, children nnd adults, with paraftine, and had the satisfaction of seeing every one recover. His plan is to take the ordinary parafiine used in lamps, and, having scraped ofl the diphtheritic patch, to apply the parnttioe ©very hour to the throat, internally, with a large camel hair brush. As rule, the throat gets well in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, and with improvement In the throat the paraffin© is applied less frequently, but he continues it* use for two or three days after the complete disappearance of the patches. He speaks definitely as to the therapeutic effects, but is unable to state what the chemical action of paraffine on the diphtheric membrane is probably the hydrocarbons In the liquid exert some powerful influent* on the membrane.

S* N HT..M Ktit'HN has been exprwMi'K himself on the question of a democratic presidential candidate. Evidently he 1* not a Cleveland man, although he dc-Ur» that be is ready and willing "o g{v« his support to the expresident if he ss the most available man. H««(vi»r, be say* without, hesitation that he 'iron's brieve either Hilt „r Cleveland carry York, and ths'i his i^arir would do well to go we*t for candidate-. In she event

Campbell, of Ohio, is his favorite. Of course every democratic politician who is fighting Cleveland has a string to his opposition, and is ready to pall it back on very short notice. While the ex president may not be the choice of the politicians of bis party, he is about the only man on whom all the factions can unite, and when the nominating convention meets next year it will be no surprise to find that he will capture the nomination with very little exertion on the part of his friends. It is nearly a certainty that the campaign of 1892 will be fought over the same candidates, and the result can be foretold with some degree of accurancy after the ballots .have been counted next Tuesday.

BLAINE'S RETURN. WHAT NEXT? Secretary Blaine has returned to Washington after an absence of twentyfour weeks, and has again assumed control of the affairs of the department of state. It has been announced that bis health has been completely restored, but the statement is not generally received as absolute truth. Th» journey from Maine to Washington was made by such easy stages as to create the impression that Mr. B'aine is unequal to the task which ordinary travel imposes on -a man In even moderate health. Then be kept aloof from all excitement, and thus far has had absolutely nothing to say concerning politics. In New York he actually allowed the announcement to be made that he would leave on a certain train for Washington and left on the one that preceded it, to the intense disgust of a large crowd of news-gatherer« who had made preparations tq spread themselves. He seems bent on attending strictly to business and leaving politics severely alone. If ho has presidential aspirations he is evidently making no effort to secure a nomination, and is satisfied to leave his case in the hands of his friends. But the chances are that he will not be a candidato, and his declination may be looked for at any time. The president evidently believes that his party de mauds his renomination, and is lending all the assistance in his power to assist In a successful rendition of the programme. If the democrats are successful next Tuesday Mr. Harrison may secure the nomination without much opposition, but if republican triumph is in the air the opposition will rapidly conccntrete on some other candidate, and then there may be lively times ahead.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. Next Tuesday tho states of MassachuHOtts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa will hold elections, the result of which may to a great extent determine the presidential contest next year.

In Massachusetts Governor Russell is candidate for re-election. Last year as the Democratic candidate he carried the stato by a majority in the neighborhood of 10,000. He is tho youngest of all governors of the various states, and is popular. His opponont, Mr. Allen, is also one of tho young men of his state, and and is progressive. The Republicans are united, aro in good fighting trim and claim every prospect of success.

In Now York the Republicans are making a harder fight than they have made In veais, and even the mugwumps aro with them. The Democrats are loaded down with Tammany hall, a Tammany candidato for governor and Tammany methods all over. The Democrats are demoralized, and with oven Cleveland and Hill on tho same platform it is obvious that thpre is a want of Democratic, unity among the more intellectual followers of that faith, and the outlook is favorable to Fassett, the Republican candidate for governor.

The fight in Pennsylvania is a pretty badly mixed up afiair. Last year the Democrats elected their candidate for governor through Republican disgust with their leaders. The same arguments are being used this year, together with recently exposed defalcations by prominent otllce holders, bank failures and the like, and the Democrats profess condonee in success.

The contest- in Ohio might truly be termed a battle of giants, for both candidates aro men of conspicuous ability, admitted popularity and the successful one will be a formidable presidential possibility. Both parties are straining every nerve to achieve success, and the best talent in the country has been thrown into the campaign. Ohio is undoubtedly a protective state, and unlee» all signs fail Mclvinley will be Its next governor by more than 10,000 majority, and in all probability the next Republican presidential candidate.

It has only been a few years since Iowa rolled up about 80,000 Republican majority, but now the state might almost lie classed in the donbtrul column. Two years ago the Democrats elected the present governor, Boies, by several thousand majority, and it would surprise no one if he Is successful again this year. The state has tried prohibition for some time, and the Republicans are much divided on that question. The Democrats reap ft great advantage from this split, and are also greatly benefitted by the Alliance movement. It is a fight in which neither party seero« to have much advantage, but the chances slightly favor the Democrat*.

Such seems to be the outlook In the five state* nnmed, but in these days of great political surprises the beet laid schemes may miscarry, and the most flattering prospects may count for naught. ______________________

Not Much of a War.

Store than one of bur contemporaries have alluded facetiously to the "baking powder war." There is no war of the character indicated. A certain baking powder acheived fame because it was better than anything that had previously been prepared, and because it was advertised in a liberal, original and judicious manner. The success of this powder led to imitation, as success always does, but to assert or to intimate that there is war between the Royal Baking Powder and its more or less feeble imitators suggest the picture of a death grapple between an eagle and a housefly.

It is not often that we indulge in giving any person a puff, but Ed Lawrence, corner of Fourth and Cherry streets deserves one. He has Sheap's home made candy manufactured fresh every day, and his ice cream is delicious. His place is well stocked with everything in his line, and everything is the very best to be found anywhere. Wheji you want anything in the candy or ice cream line give him a call and you will be sure to go again.

Of course you need a pair of neat, dunable shoes, or if you don't want them to-day you will in the near futurq. When you do want anything in that line be sure and call on A. H. Boegeman, No. 104 south Fourth street, who has the largest and best assortment o£ winter and school shoes to be found anywhere in the city. For less money you cau get there better satisfaction than can be found any other place in town. Don't forget this, and call when you need anything in that line.

There is nothing as becoming to any man as a neat suit of custom made clothes, and there is now no excuse for the man who doesn't wear it. What is the use to buy cheap, ready made clothes which do not fit, when you can get a nice suit made to order for the same price? There is no excuse for it at all. Remember that Merritt, the Tailor and Hatter, has the best stock of merchant tailoring goods in the city— all in the best material, and latest patterns, and which he will guarantee to make up for as small a sum as is asked for ready made goods in the same line. NJ.645 Main street.

It is coming time of year now when you want to shut out the cold drafts which come with winter weather and run up doctors' bills, if nothing worse. In this connection your attention is called to the fact that W. D. Morris fe Co., 421 Main street, have the finest line of woather strips in town, which can be had at reasonable prices. They also wish to impress on the mind of hunters t'jat they have a full line of everything in the line of hunters' supplies which any person can want. Call and examine their goods.
