TEERE HAUTE. JAN., 30, 1892,

Now that the cruel war is over the country may daily expect a mighty revival of the isthmus and Nicaraugua oanal schemes.

THE people of Montezuma expended $30.90 last year in advertising in their home papei. Wind is a very thin diet, whether the editor feeds it to his readers or subsists on it himself.

WHILE the air is full of rumors of war between France and Germany, England and Russia, and the United States and Chili, the fight between the political factions in Ireland goes bravely on.

IF Grover Cleveland is defeated for the presidential nomination this year it will be because two-thirds of the democratic party are opposed to civil service reform, and favor the immediate distribution of the spoils of ofllce as a reward for party w®rk. Take the spoils out of office and the politicians are not in it.

IT is stated that Whitelaw Reid is about to resign his position as Minister to France and resume journalistic work in New York. The number of Republicans who have resigned under this administration is almost as large as the numbor of Democrats removed by Mr. Harrison, for several months after his inauguration^

THE senate is about to pass a bill providing a commission of Ave persons to be appointod by the president, for the purpose of investigating tLo liquor truffle, its influence on society, production of crime, pauperism and other ovils. This samo bill bobs up serenely iu congress periodically. It has passed the senate about ten times and is invariably pigeon holed in the house.

WHEN a party organ howls about the wholesale purchase of its voters, ,in "blocks of live" or otherwise, it doesn't speak very well for its followers who are willing to dispose of their votes to the highest bidder. A^ long as there are rotes for sale there will be purchasers found. This is true of both parties, as eyery intelligent citizen knows, and under existing policical mothods there isn't much prospect of any reformation soou.

KANSAS colebrated her thir'.y-first birthday as a state yesterday. Last week the prosecuting attorney of oue of the •counties was compelled to nolle an indictment for murder because ho could not find a jury to try the murderer. In the same judicial district the favorite companion of the judge is a Winchester rille. This state of affairs exists in Jorry Simpson's congressional district, in the state which sent Nonentity Poffer to the United States senate.

ONE of the Florida members of congress has introduced a bill to restore to the pension rolls of tMe United States tho names of all persona who were drawing pensious at tho beginning of "tho late unpleasantness" bjT reason of their services in tho Indian wars of Florida, and whoso names wore stricken from tho pension rolls by roason of their participation In or sympathy with the rebolllon. It is, perhaps, needloss to remark that these aro not the kind of men whose names aro being put on the pension pay rolls of the United States.

THKY have a novel way of treating mashers out in Lawrence, Kansas. One of them wrote a note to a respectable young lady tho other day, which she laid before the city marshal, who advised her to meet the follow as requested, and prepared to horsewhip him. When the masher arrived on the spot he was seiited by the county attorney and city marshal while the lady cow hided him to her heart's content, after which he was lodged in jail for the night and was allowed to go his war in the morning. Hereafter that masher will use a little more discretion when he visits JKanaaa towns.

THKRK nothing small about the farmer* or Lamar county, Texas. They demand of tho government the immediate issue of $150,000,000 of legal tender treasury notes, $30,000,000 of which is be expended in Internal improvements, including government railroad* and telegraphs, and the remainder to bo loaned farmers atone percent. They also demand the repeal of the internal revenue laws on liquor and tobacco, and the issue of ?125,000,000 annually in

legal tender notes until the volume of money reaches $50 per capita. As they suggest no means of redeeming the treasury notes it is presumable that as soon as they have paid their debt* with them they would be willing to repudiate the whole issue.

THE American Building and Ixan association, of Minneapolis, Minn., has gone by the board. It was the largest concern of the kind in the country, its assets being about §11,000,000. Its patrons are to be

THE immigration returns for the year 1891 have been completed, and make a total showing of 690,666, against 491,026 for the year 1890. The largest number, 123,401, came from Germany, being an increase of 26,919 over the year before. Russia stands second with 73,177, an increase of 79 per cent, over 1890. Austria furnished 70,711, an increase of about 10 per cent, and Italy follows close behind with 68,481, against 52,492 in 1890. England and Wales sent 52,350, a decrease of 3,509. The only other country showing a falling off in France Ireland contributed 55,888, an increase of 2,576. In spite of the more stringent law to regulate immigration the increase over 1890 was a little more than 20 per cent.

A FRENCH doctor claims to have dis covered another sure cure for snake bite. The antidote is described as a liquid, having for a base a salt of gold. It has been tried on numerous occasions, and is claimed to be perfect. Subcutaneous injection of the antidote renders a snakebile harmless—renders a patient proof against snake-bite for life. After a bite one application of the remedy cures the victim at once. It is applicable in different doses to man and beast. The antidote is being sent to America to test its efl'ect on the bite cf the rattlesnake family. An investigation will probably lead to the discovery that tho antidote is an infringement of the Koeley cure, which is a preparation of g®ld, and has been in successful operation in various portions of this country for more than ten years.

haa'publlshed an

open letter iu which he eharges the judges of New Etampshiie with a grave offenso. Ho says that they were voted an increase In salary of $500 per year with the understanding that they would pay railroad fare and refuse passes. The senator charges that the judges not only continue to receive passes, but that they appoint members of the state board of equalisation who accept passes and undervalue railroad property fifty per cent. If such doings are tolerated in New Hampshire the wild and wooly west canuot be heed responsible for many sins which tho east has treasured up against U.

in every state, and

much money was spent In spreading its business. Like many other loan institutions, it advanced too much money on western lands which were boomed to death, and it went under in the general collapse.. lx Mississippi they don't seem to think that the saloon keeper has any rights which anybody is bound to respect. This week the legislature passed a bill which declares him ineligible to serve on the grand jury, and his business sufficient cause for a challenge as a petit jnror. It makes the minimum license in the smallest towns $700, and in towns of over 2,000 inhabitants 31,500. No other business is allowed in the same building, and the presence of a minor in a saloon subjects the saloonist to a heavy line. It is estimated that the law will close fully two-thirds of the saloons in the state, but the Democrats expect to carry it by the usual majority next fall.

is now before congress admit­

ting Oklahoma as a state. It embraces all tho old Indian Teiritory, but provides that the status of the Indians in tho eastern part shall not be changed without their consent. The proposed slate would embrace 69,000 square miles, and would bo as large as Ohio and Indiana combined, with a population of about 250,000 white people. As Oklahoma is ouly about thre3 years old as a territory it must bo a thriving youth with an aspiring crop of young politicians, Who are troubled with dreams of statehood, seats in congress and various other species of nightmare which haunt their kind. Most of the Oklahoma statesmen are young aspirants who were crowded out east of the Mississippi, emigrated to western Kansas, where they were not appreciated, and then drifted into Oklahoma were, like Wilkius Micawber, they are now "waiting for something to turn up."

SINCE the location of the National Democratic convention in Chicago it is assorted that Gormati, Hill and Brice own the Democratic party. Gorman and Hill aspire to the presidency, and as both are men after his own heart Brice is with them. It is now told that Cleveland is out of the race, but this announcement has been made often, and its repetition only increases the number of favorite sous who may become available presidential timber. The list now comprises Hill, Gorman, Carlisle, Morrison, Campbell, Boles, Palmer, Francis and the irrepressible Gray. While this division may bring about tho defeat of Cleveland it is not likely to insure the nomination of any of the gentlemen named, and there is a prospect of a dark horse carrying off the prize. Just now there seems to be a very quiet effort on foot to bring Gov. Flower to the front. Ho has demonstrated his ability to carry New York, he has an immense patronage at his command, and what is more important still, he has an immense "bar'l" which he could put op tap. Evidently, if it is to be a dark horse, Flower is in it.

IT IS SETTLED.

The long looked for message of the president on the Chilian trouble, accompanied by all the correspondence pertaining to the affair, was sent to congress last Monday. It was a document which showed great care in its preparation, was dignified in its tone and has added to the reputation of its wriUr. It contains nothing of a bullying or fire eating nature, such as the press dispatches had for some time led the public to believe governed at the White House. It laid the whole matter before congress and the country in a calm and dispassionate manner, leaving future action entirely in the hands of the legislative branch of the government. The most belligerent portion of the correspondence eent from this country is that which threaten* a

suspension of diplomatic relations unles the Matta note is withdrawn, and that is by no means equivalent to war.»

But there is going to be no war. When the impudent little bantam discovered that this country was going to Jterate none of its foolishness and evapon, it suddenly came to its senses and down completely. Chili has withdraw the offensive note Senor Matta to withdraw its request for the recall of Minister Egan, andfcubmit the Baltimore affair to the arbitration of some neutral nation, or submit t# matter to the decision of the Uniteflfetates supreme court. This leaves the final settlement of the difficulty merely a matter of detail..

When the message and correspondence weie laid before congress the disposition to rise above party and sustain the administration was certainly gratifying to the national pride. When the crisis came there was certainly "no north, no south, no east or no west." There was no "bloody chasm" across which to shake bauds, and there certainly was no more loyalty displayed anywhere than in the southern states, whose representatives in congress were loudest in their declaration that the honor of the nation must be maintained. It is true that some were opposed to asserting our rights and backing them with force, but these were confined to the English press, whose interests are against this country, and the papers in the United States who advocate English doctrines and theories. The vast majority of the people declared themselves to be Americans first, and party followers afterwards.

MARGARET MATHER.

For Margaret Mather's appearance at Naylor's opera house next Thursday evening February 4th she lists two plays which are new to the local stage but which are said to be among the best and most effective she has ever offered lor the theater goers pleasure. When she decided to grant the oft expressed request for more comedy she determined to get two of the best obtainable and to this end visited London and saw "Nance Oldfield" which Charles Reade wrote for Ellen Terry and which Miss Terry was then presenting with marked success at the Luceum Theater. It took*' but a short time for her to secure the Amerioan rights for this work of Reade's and then she posted off to Paris where she commissioned Felix, the great ar tist dress maker to prepare costumes and to not mind the expense so long as they were absolutely better than anything he had turned out. With this much preparation she started work preparing the comedy and when she first presented it in the east and the pleasure of seeing it at once take a most prominent place in the reperatory. To this clever comedy she added James Sheridan Knowles' literary Qem, "The Love Cbase" which belongs to that old and excellent school of English oomedies of which "The Rivals" and Shs Stoops to Conquer are members. In each play she had a character study of most excellent breadth, it is said, and in them conjointly has given the theater going world a new view at her talents and abilities. She has, it is said, surpassed in smoothness of rendition and dramatic finish the comedy work she did in John Tobin's "Honeymoon" in which she was markedly successful and added scores of admirers to her already long list. It is in this donble bill that she will be seen here February 4th and it is doubtful if the local management could have secured a combination that would offer as rich promises of success as this does. Outside the interest that attaches to the coming of a dramatic star like Miss Mather and the fact that she is to present new plays there are other features in the display of cestumes, said to be rarely beautiful, and in the presence of a strong company which is headed by Otis Skinner, that well known young actor, and contains the names of Joseph

E. Whiting, 11. A. Langdon, White Whittlesey, James Cooper, Henry Patterson, Stephen Wright Josephine Eyetinge, Carrie Jamison, Maude Pleasants and Katherine Murray. The engagement Is for a single night only and the outlook is most excellent for a crowded house and an audience of the most Brilliant Peraonelle. The sale open Tuesday morning February 2nd*

To Bay a Cloak I

Again Caught

Misrepresenting Facts.

The Royal Baking Powder Company has resorted to SO many tricks to force its way upon the public, that whenever any cry of fraud is raised the public instinctively turns to the Royal Bakii^g Powder Company.

Is it any wonder The Royal has recently printed a statement purporting, to be an interview with Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota, to the effect that the Royal Baking Powder is all which the company asserts it to be. The statement is made that Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission, made the representations referred to before the legislative committee at the last session, which ex­

amined various baking powders.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

1st. There is no such person as Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission

of Minnesota. 2d. There is a Dr. Charles W. Drew, who is state chemist and analyst to the said commission. 3d. He denies the statement in question of the Royal Baking Powder Company, generally, as follows: 1st. The statements in no sense represent his attitude

or his utterance. 2d. There has never been, either in the published reports of the chemist of the commission, in his testimony before the legislative committee or elsewhere, any implied endorsement of the Royal Baking Powder as superior to

other brands. 3d. At the session of the legislative committee before which Dr. Drew testified, an attempt was made by the attorney of the Royal Company to secure the statements which the Royal Company has since printed, which attempt failed. 4th. On the contrary, Dr. Drew did say there were suffi­

grounds for objection to the presence of ammonia in baking powders to justify the legislative committee in recommending that all such powders be required to announce upon their labels the fact that Ammonia was one of the constituents and Dr. Drew

further

expressed to the committee the

following emphatic opinion: "I would not recommend such powders to my patients, nor would I use them in my own

The Price Baking Powder Company makes a Pure Cream Tartar Baking Powder, free from ammonia, alum, lime or any taint of impurity, and feels it owes a duty to the public as well as to itself to lay bare such trickery as the Royal resorts to in trying to wheedle theconsumer into using its Ammonia Powder.
