IT i« announced that the Gorman presidential booner haa collapsed, in fact the Maryland senator has punctured it by declining to become a candidate. The alleged reason is that the democrat# couldn't win with a aouthern man next year, but the true reason in that Mr. Gorman isn't the race.

Anew aMpirant for public favor is the Chicago Prnts. It is an eight page daily, and is furntubed it* patrons at one cent por c#py. It IH independent in politics, neat In Its make up, and Is newsy and Hpiey. It* management doesn't claim thatitbiiH come to till a long felt want, but ltd quality vvarrautH the assertion that it '11 soon occupy no unimportant position in tlio journalistic Held.

TIIK Prince of Wales celebrated bis tiftieth birthday last Monday. The occasion was not observed with enthusiasm or hilarity, nor did the press of Kngland shower upon their future king hoarty congratulations. In fact It was a tame affair, and If the prince's popularity Is to bo guuged by It he doesn't M.wid very high in the estimation of his subjects.

SAN KUANVISCO in very anxious to secure the next National Republican convention, and provided it goes thorn tbe woKiern me:ropolis is willing to pay all oxpetiHOs. If the opposition to Maine could dictate the place it will certainly bo held on thin side of the Mississippi river. In the meantime Chicago is getting in her work, and with every prospect of success.

SiNt'K the death of Parttell the British government thinks It has cause to fear a revival of Keniamlsm, and has Increased the police force in Irish seaport towns, while American detoctivos havo been employed to watch all passengei steamers plying between this country and tho United Kiudotu. Ireland seems to be drifting backwaid, and unless wiser *ounsels prevail, will soon be where she was twenty s« von years ago.

THK Salvation Army has declared war against Chicago sinners, which Includes the greater portion of the population. Troops have been pouring in from all portions of the country, but latest reports say that S.itan still holds the fort. This Is the hardest job, the Salvationists have ever undertaken, and If they succeed they can go Into everlasting quarters on the Held of glory, for the millenUun will havo surely arrivod, and the day of judgmont will soon follow.

TIIK speakership contest has narrowed down betwi»en Mills, of Texas, and Crisp, of Georgia, but the former's friends feel confident of his success, and bin defeat is hardly possible. Mills is the representative free trader of the lemocr»tlc party, and as such he is entitled to the speakership. As free trade is to be the Heinocratic war cry next year its leader -l\ould be given a liberal supply of ropo, even though it should cause his polit.cal suicide.

OoNsihKtMNo the fact that this state was "fixed" by a Democratic legislature so that the Republicans would have to carry it by majority to control the legislature, it is very amusing to hear a lemocratic organ in Indiana denounce gerrymanders in New York and Iowa, in which *t*t«* they do not exist, while it overlooks Ohio, in which its party perpetrated an outrageous gerrymander when it controlled the last legislature aud elected a non-rt*sident to the United Nsates senate.

lr is charged that the English government encourages the consumption of opium among its subjects in the East Indies for the sake of revenue. Mere than live million acres of the b«st land in the country is devoted to its cultivation, and the average production is ten million pounds. The British possession* in India have bwti England's gold mine for many years, and she cares nothing what tacorac* of the natives so long a* they contribute to her wealth •and refrain from mutiny.

R»*tr«o« trv under the treaty recently patera! into w»tl» Spain seems to be a verv good thing for the I nited Ntattm. Toe offlciat statement for tbe mmih* of September and by the Ward line of steamers from Nrw York to Havanna* compared with the Mote months of 1«*\ show ao tnere-as* of about one hundred per cent, fa their 1 uaineaa. In addiuoo to their w*«lar *ervi* they

put on three additional steamers, and even then their capacity is heavily taxed. The figures sabmitted do not include flour, on which tbe duty will be reduced on tbe first of January next, when the export on that article will, it is predicted, reach 1,000,000 barrels per annum, double what it is now. These figures are certainly most gratifying to tbe business interests of the country, and if tbe reciprocity treaties with tbe other South American countries turn oat as advantageous the standard bearer of tbe party which advocates it will havo no trouble to sweep the country next vear.

THE latest presidential news comes from Washington, and says that Blaine is in the hands of his friends that he will not announce himself as a candidate, nor will he decline to run,but that if ihe nomination is tendered him he will accept. Provided always that his physical condition is such as to allow him to make the race. This may be another of the stories disseminated by the Washington Rureau of Associated Liars. If it is they should be ashamed of themselves and give the occupant of the White House a rest.

IT is reported that Canada is going-to spend more money than ever before for immigration purposes. It has always been the custom of that country to expend annually large sums for "assisted passages" for foreigners who would go tbore and settle. Thousands took advantage of the the cheap rates offered, went to Canada, and then drifted oyer into the United States. There is no reason to believe there will be any change in the mode of operation. The country to the north can bring overall the immigrants they please and Uncle Sam will take care of them, as they nearly all make good citizens.

KEELEY'S BONANZA.

When the effectiveness of tbe Keeley cure for drunkenness was questioned in Chicago about two months ago those who had been treated at Dwight rose In arms and extolled it to the skies. This caused a flutter in temperance circles, aud brought forth the proposition that If Dr. Keeley would reveal the secret of his bichloride of gold treatment for drunkenness the \V, C. T. U. of America would furnish the treatment and medicine froe to allsuflerers from alcoholism. At the time tho proposition was made the discoverer of the treatment was in Europe, but has since returned. He is reported as saying that as the discovery is entirely his own, and fully appreciatit value he is going to mako all he can out of it. Up to date it is said that not less than 10,0(H) persons have been treated, and as they represent §75 each it means $7"0,000 to the doctor. Of course there is much to come out of this sum for medicine and assistants, but the fact remains that it is a great bonanza. Just now the Dwight institute is having more than it can attend to, and the patients are being sent to the various "branches" daily. So great is the business, aud so rapidly is it iucieasing that the territory is being farmed out, and rights are being sold as for patents. This state and Kontucky are controlled by a company which has purchased the exclusive right to use the treatment for ten years, and doubtless the whole country is being divided up in the sama way.

The testimony is all to the effect that the cure is a good thing, aud that it is permanent in ninety-five per cent, of all cases of confirmed Inebriety. It Is true that a number have fallen from grace within six months and havedied while on a debauch, but It is claimed that the number does not reach five per cent. It is also true that several havo died while under the treatment, but this doesn't seem to decrease the enthusiasm of its friends. But these lapses from sobriety do not prove that Dr. Keeley is a quack or that his remedy is a failure but they do create the belief In many minds that the cure cannot be relied upon as permanent, and that if the cured inebriate has not a very strong willpower he cannot withstand temptation when thrown In dai iy contact with his old associations. There is only one way in which the value of the remedy can be determined, and that is by giving it to tbe public. If Dr. Keeley is a philanthropist he will make known the secret of his cure. He has already made a fortune out of it and could very well afford to appear in the role of a public bene factor. But the chances are that he will not do it for several years to come.

Amusements.

"A SIGHT AT THE CIRCUS," Nellie McHenry, as a number of Terre Haute playgoers know, is one of the most charmingly vivacious comediennes on the stage, and ''A Night at the Circus," the new play 'which H. Grattan Donnelly wrote for her fits the actress as snugly as the pretty pale blue costume she wears in the last act. "A Night at the Circus" will be presented at Naylor*s opera house to-night and from all acceunta it is a case of "go." UA

Night at the Circus" is a farcecomedy, but unlike tbe average farcecomedy It has a plot sufficiently strong to create an interest outside of the specialties. The play bristles with surprises, situations and wit. The songs suit the play as well as the play suits the actress and her support. The parts seem to have been cut to fit tbe players. Miss McHenry has all tbe opportunity she requires to display her friskiness, do her little kicking and dancing and to play the pretty, demure, sweet governess as well. "THE SPIDEB AND FLY."

Mr. M. B. Leavitt's spectacular pantomime burlesque "The Spider and Fly," will be presented at Naylor's on next Wednesday evening, Noyember 18th by a large and capable company. Tbe show has been entirely reorganized since it wa9 last seen here and it fairly burst open with new features, new ideas, new costumes, new ballets, pretty girls and good comedians, and some exceedingly popular music. To enumerate all the clever people in the cast would take too much space. There are some novel stage transformations and some remarkably grotesque costumes. Much of tbe play is in McGiuty land, otherwise thb bottom of the sea. The groupings and marching of the company in the ensembles mako beautiful stage pictures. The pantoinimists are excellent and in fact as a spectacular burlesque this production takes a very high rank. Tha sale of sests will begin on Monday morning at Buttons. "TIIK DAZZLER."

If there is anything in a name "Tbe Dazzler" ought to be a brilliant farce comedy and it is sure to dazzle in more ways than one. Aside from tbe fact that there is a rather more consistent thread on which to string tbe various specialties than is found in the usual farce comedy, "Tbe Dazzler" will have one bright particular attraction in tbe peerless queeu of the footlights jolly and charming Kale Castleton, bonnle Kate as she is known throughout the length and breadth of the land, who heads the list of Cosgrove A Grant's comedians that will interpret"the merry skit at Naylor's next Thursday evening, Novembor 19th.

The Dazzler" is not an untried play. It received the seal of approval at the bands of tbe public last season, aud with the introduction of new music, songs, dances, specialties, etc., and a compauy par excellence. It will be even more attractive this season. Among the wellknown artists selected to surround Miss Castleton, may be mentioned the clever artiste Lena Merville, whose artistic and graceful dancing aud singing easily place her in the front rank of siuging soubrettes. The male contlngeut is headed by Joe Ott, a young fun-maker hose rapid progress in his profession is due to his original Methods aud spontaneous humor. He ranks with the best as an eccentric comedian. The other members of the compauy are equally good. Tho sale of seats will take place Tuesday morning next at Button's.

OILMOUE'S BAND.

If anything can arouse the enthusiasm of the lovers of music in Terre Haute, It is the announcement of the coming Gilmore concert. The great bandmaster will be hereon Tuesday, November 24th, with his full band and its maguificent array of soloists comprising moro renowned artists than can be heard iu any other one organization. Among them are DeCarlo, plccololst Wadsworth, flutist Herr Hatus, E flat clarienetest Lefebre, saxiphonist Raffayolo, the inimitable soloist on the euphonium, and a dozen others. As vocalists, Gilmore has Mons. J. Clodio, Mr. E. O'Mahoney, and the Misses Sch nee loch, all of whom are certain to reproduce here the enthusiasm displayed in St. Louis where they received an ovation. "SW KKTBRIK8."

This drama Is full of Humor and pathos and of such character that will please all who witness it. It is not light and trashy, but bears with it many scenes of sentiment and humor, so evenly interwoven that interest in it will not cease until the curtain falls. It is sure to be a hit. It calls for good work and genuine feeling. Tbe local company that is to present it is of unquestioned ability in the lines which they are to take, and nothing short of realistic professional werk will satisfy our ambitious amateur*. Terre Haute ranks high as a musical and dramatic center, and we predict the house will be crowded. The company under the direction of Mrs. Aydelotle is sparing neither time nor pains in preparation for tbe event. Quite a good deal of the scenery used will be entirely new. Prof. Breinig has in special preparation an instrumental selection which the Ringgold orchestra will render between the third and fourth acts.
