TERRE HAUTE. JAN., 16, 1892.

A GOLD nugget worth a thousand dollars was found in California a few days ago, and is the largest ever found in the state. It is the discovery of such little chunks as this which makes the miner's heart beat with joy.

IN London the socialists are treated with less ceremony than aro the anarchists in Chicago. Last Sunday the police of the great English metropolis dispersed a meeting of them by a vigorous use of clubs, and by putting their leaders under arrest.

A JURY has been found in Pennsylvania

convict a citizen of excellent

reputation who shot and killed a burglar while in the act of breaking into his house. This was in Pittsburg. In Chicago he would have been acquitted, given the freedom of the city and elected t« a good office.

A BIIX is noyv before congress which provides for a tax on all incomes of 910,000 per year or more. Of course the man who is compelled to live on less than that sum swears he would be willing to pay if be had it, while the man who has more kicks because it isn't larger. The bill will scarcely pass.

IT seems that Senator John M. Palmer has reached the height of his ambition. The other day a newspaper correspondent offered him the presidential nomination, the vice presidential nomination and several cabinet positions, but he •ery promptly declined them all. Evidently the senator doesn't want anything which he knows is beyond his reach.

THE New York banks have more money on hand just now than they know what to do with, and the rate of interest is lower than ever before known crops were the largest last year in the history of the country, and prices have been good in fact the whole country is in a most prosperous condition,,and the calamity howler will be out of a job during the coming campaign.

Trus famous Graves trial ended in Denver this week when the court passed sentence of death on the prisioner, remarking that the evidence justified it. Dr. Graves maintains his innocence and there are many who have closely watched the case who do not believe that the evidence justified the vordict. If the supreme oourt doesn't grant a new trial it is the general belief that the sentence will beco in muted to imprisonment for life.

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY was inaugurated last Monday, and the ceremony was made the ocoasion of one of the greatest political displays ever witnessed in Ohio. In his message the governor endorsed the now election law, and in regard to redisricting tho state expressed the wish that the legislature would arrange the new lines with absolute fairness to all parties. Should there be a contest for presidential nomination at Minneapolis it would bo noither surprising nor unsatisfactory to Republicans generally if Governor McKinley should bo called from the obscurity of his present position to load his party in tho campaign.

Ir thore is to be auy distribution of spoils by the present congress the south has dertermined to have its full share. Up to date moro than 900 bills have been introduced providing for the reimbursement of southerners who sustained losses during the war. One Kentucky member already has a record of 106 of these bills, and doubtless there are other back counties in his district yet to hear from. Tho allowance of theso claims would simply be the assumption of the Confederate war debt by the United States. To advocate such a scheme is to insure democratic defeat in the national contest this year. That question was decided very emphatically long •go and tho decision can never be reversed.

NoTwmisTANmNO the assurance given out that Chili has rotired from the posl tiou assumed some time ago, and is wil ling to make the reparation required, it is still asserted that the trouble is not over, and that the situation is still serious. The naval preparations are still being pushed, and it is evident thecountry is preparing to meet any emergency It is apparent that the naval authorities are doing all they can to bring on war. Some time ago it was announced that the navy department had issued orders to the officers maintain silence and give the secretary a chance, but they seem to be honored in the breach only. As tho nary has been the cause of all tliis trouble it would be more becoming for its officers to hold their peace while the country investigates.

Tim Republican primaries throughout the state last Saturday have been claimed by tho administration organ in Indianapolis as Harrison victories. The claim cannot lx allowed. In nearly every Instance where the president was made an issue he was defeated even at his home the delegation is divided. In many places, however, the presidential nomin-

ation was never for a moment considered, and when the interference of federal office holders was not felt BO one seems to know how the delegation stands. The anti-Harrison Republicans, and thpy are numerous, claim that Indiana will send a divided delegation to Minneapolis. This, if true, is to be regretted by Republicans. The administration has been a clean one, and state pride should command the support of the Indiana candidate, especially as it is a foregone conclusion that Harrison will be the nominee. 1

THREE notable persons died in Eu

rope

Thursday—Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, heir presumptive to the British throne Cardinal Manning and Cardinal Simeoni. In the death of the first named, if all accounts be true, the world loses nothing, and EDgiand will have abetter king in his brother Cardinal Manning has been a leading spirit in England vears, and in his death the Catholic church loses one of its brightest lights and humanity a true friend. Cardinal Simeoni was formerly papal secretary of state and prefect general of the propaganda.

THE Messiah craze has broken out again among the Indians in a mild form, and some of them have been dancing for a montu or more. When Commissioner Morgan took charge of the Indian bureau it was with the announced determination that Indian dances should be abolished. The commissioner has now neen in office over two years and a half, and the dances continue. To reform an Indian is easily undertaken but never accomplished. The money spent on them aunually might almost as well be consumed in the fire, for all the good it accomplishes. The quickest way to solve the Indian question, and the only eflective one, is to pick them up bodily, scatter them among civilized people, and compel them to shift for themselves. It might be pretty tough on the white people, but it would make the noble red man either live by the sweat of his brow or starve—and of the two evils he wouldn't have any particular choice. &!

FOR the first time since the early days of the state Iowa Democrats have a majority in the senate, and only surprised themselves by not carrying the house last November. Oae of their first moves will be to repeal the prohibition act and pass a high license law. Prohibition is all that stands in the way of Republican success in that state, and the party seems determined to die with it. It is true that prohibition has been a dazzling failure ever since it became a law, and that in all the cities it has been ignored but that seems to make no difference with the prohibition element, and while the party ignores the demand for more liberal legisljation on the subject the Democrats have coolly walked away with 80,000 Republican majority and now control the state. Principle is a glorious thing, especially iu politics, but sometimes whan it is so very expensive parties, like individuals, might take it in smaller doses and spread it over a larger area.

IN an interview, at Washington the other day Col. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, expressed a doubt that Harrison or any other Republican can bo elected president this year. He gives as his reasons the theft of New York by Hill, the certainty that New Jersey is democratic, the genymander of Michigan, the uncertainty of Indiana and last, but by no means least, the solid south. Col. Clayton evidently overlooks the fact that the democrats are divided on almost every important question, while their opponents |ure united. Hill favors protection and free silver, while Cleveland is a free trader and is opposed to the free coinage of silver. Undoubtedly Cleveland is the strongest man in his party to-day, but the chances of his nomination are becoming smaller, as the time flies, and no one expects to see his party honor him this year. Just now Hill seems to have the puil with the politicians and is in a fair way to be the nominee. He is known as an unscrupulous dimagogue, a spoilsman of the most brazen type, and an advocate of anything which would tend to insure party success. Undoubtedly every striker and ward heeler in his party would support him with heartiness begotten of admiration. But behiud all this it must be borno in mind that the majority of the American votes are men of sense. They know that tho present admiration has been sound on all questions which effect the business interests of the country, while its foreign policy has been admirable, and there never has been more prosper ous times than the present. Under the circumstances is a change desirable? That is the question which the business men of the country have to ask them selves, and it is not a difficult one to answer.

TARIFF TINKERING.

A change of administration when accompanied by a change of policy always unsettles business until the policy is clearly defined and gives assurance that it will not interfere with the vital affairs of the country. When the McKinley bill passed it was a measure of doubtful utility, many Republicans being opposed to it. Before it was. given a trial an election occured, and the Republican party was almost swept out of the country, with the McKinley bill as an issue. But last year the bill went into effect, and instead of proving a millstone around the party neck has actually turned out a blessing. The battle in Ohio last year was fought on it, and the contest was tlie hottest ever waged in this country It was a veritable battle of tke giants, ia which the beet talent of both parties was thrown into

the conflict. The merits and the demerits of the bill were thoroughly laid before the people every corner of every county in the state, and the result was? the triumphant election of the author of the bill by an overwhelming majority.

In his annual message, in speaking of tariff legislation, President Harrison said: "A brief examination of the statistics of the treasury and a general glance at the state of business throughout the country win, I think, satisfy any impartial inquirer that its results have disappointedl the evil prophecies of its opponent*, and in a large measure realized the hopeful predictions of its friends. Rarely, if ever before in the history of the country, has there been a time when the proceeds of one day's labor or the product of one farmed acre would purchase so large an amount of those things that enter into the living of ^the masses of the people. There is

for many^ |jertainly nothing in the condition of trade, foreign or domestic, there is certainly nothing in the condition of our people of any class to suggest that the existing tariff and revenue legislation bears oppressively upon the people or retards the commercial development of the nation. It may be argued that our condition would be better if our tariff legislation were upon a free trade basis, but it cannot be denied that all the conditions of prosperity and general contentment are piesent in a ?arger degree than ever before in our history, and that too, just when it was prophesied they would be in the worst state. Agitation for radical changes in tariff and financial legislation cannot help, but may seriously impede business, to the prosperity of which some degree ot stability in legislation is essential. I think these are conclusive evidences that the new tariff has created several great industries, which will, within a few years, give employment to several hundred thousand American workingmen and women. In view of the somewhat over-crowded condition of tlie labor market of the United States, every patriotic citizen should rejoice at such a result."

These views but express the experience of the country, and are sustained by business men generally. The reciprocity clause of the McKinley law has increased our trade with foreign countries to an extent never before known, and business continues to grq\v under it. Reciprocity has been accepted by the country as the true solution of the tariff question, but the itching desire to tinker with the tariff and unsettle business will not let it alone. Representative Breckenridge, of Kentucky, has introduced a resolution for the repeal of the reciprocity clause o| the tariff act and the substitution of og which virtually makes free trade.

A PAIR OF JACKS.

This evening "A Pair of Jacks," H. Gratton Donnely's merry farce, will be presented at Naylor's Opera house by a capable company. "A Pair of Jacks" is advertised as a laughing festival. Mossbacked "jokes," old fashioned devices like trick stairs and siphon bottles, and all rough and tumble concomitants of the average farce comedy have been rigidly excluded, and in their place is found fresh, spontaneous humor, legitimate comedy situations a myriad of novel, musical and other features. Price 25, 60 and 75 cents.

The successful comio opera "The Little Tycoon," will be presented In this city for the first time on Monday evening, January 18.. All the superb scenery, costumes, properties, together with an orchestra of ten picked musicians, and a chorus of thirty voices. An exact reproduction of the opera will be given as originally produced during its phenomenal run in Philadelphia. R. E. Graham, who is the original Generai Knickerbocker, is one of the most popular young comedians in this coun try, and the wonderful success he has made is entirely due to his own efforts. The advance sale began yesterday morning with a rnsh. Prices range from 25c to $1. Take our advice and secure your seats early if you want good places,

HKIID BY THE ENEMY.

Wm. Gillette's famous war play, "Held by the Enemy," will be presented at Naylor's opera house on nSxt Friday evening, January 22, by a capable company. As the production now stands, "Held by the Enemy" is one of the strongest as well as one of the most artistic military dramas ever written. Although based on the events of the late war, there is nothing in it which might wound the most sensitive mod-ern-day sympathizer with the lost cause, nor is there anything objectionable to the most vigorous waver of the bloody shirt. Its heroes and heroines are all true men and women, and the denouement shows the power of love over even the patriotic impulse. There is one peculiarity about this play. Every speaking character is an important one, and the company is excellently fitted for the work. The sale of seats takes place Wednesday morniag, January 20. „,

THOilAS W. KEENK.

Thomas W. Keene, who is too well known here as an actor of fine ability to need extended mention will appear at Naylor's opera house on next Wednesday evening Jan. 20. Last season Mr. Keene added "Louis XT' to his repertoire, and he made a great hit with his portrayal of the crafty, cruel politicoreligious bigot. He has mellowed to the

part now, and his friends claim that it is a companion-piece for his "Richard III" In which he to-day stands unrivalled on their continent. This year Mr. Keene is in splendid health and spirits and his season has been very successful both artistically and pecuniarily. His company is the most talented and complete of any he has had in his support, and this enables him to present his plays in better form than ever before. He has been the opening attraction of over a dozen theatres so far, and the recipient of nearly as many banquets, for socially be is popular as a man as he is as an artist, and those who. believe that the highnr form of the drama is worthy of the best patronage of all true lovers of English literature and art will have an opportunity to exempliTy their belief by being present on Wednesday evening. The advance sale of seats will open Monday morning at Button's. Prices range from 25c to $1.00.

One of the notable events of the coming week will be the lecture by Rev. Dr. Buchtel, of Indianapolis, at Centenary M. E. church. The lecturer's subject will be "The Present Crisis." The lecture is given under the auspices of the Epworth league of the church. A novel feature will be that each person will fix his own price of admission, the only stipulation being that the amount must be paid in silver.

Last fall the enterprising firm of Goodman & Hirschler laid in an immense stock of heavy winter underwear, which under ordinary circumstances would have been disposed of long ago but the very mild weather which prevailed in December spoiled the trade, and as they are now bound to get rid of it bofore the close of the season they are offering it at the enormous reductions of from 15 to 25 percent. The same statement applies to all their winter stock. If you need anything in their line give them a call at 410 and 412 Main street, and be convinced of the truth of this statement.

A Fine Press.

This week the enterprising firm of Moore & Langen have added to their already fine printing house the largest press ever brought to the city. It is a Campbell, with a bed 37£x52 inches, and weighs 20,000 pounds. It has been placed in position in the only vacant place left on the ground floor, and leaves them pretty badly pushed for room. Tho way this firm has steadily increased its business is wonderful. From a small beginning twelve years ago it now has one of the most complete outfits in the state, and turns out work of every description which cannot be excelled.

St. Valentine's Day.

Comes on the 14th of next month, the largest line of Valentines ever brought to this city will be at the POST OFFICE NEWS STAND. NO. 12 north 7th street.
