TERRE HAUTE.

FEB., 27, 1892.

PERSONS who go west after Dakota divorces bad better be careful of their subsequent actions. Able lawyers eay that Dakota divorces are invalid, consequently marriages contractad on the strength of them are void.

THE latest presidential impossibility is ex-Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, a gentleman noted as the author of the famous educational bill, which "died bornin'," and the long winded orations which he delivered in favor of his pet scheme.

The Louisiana lottery has been grant ed a perpetual charter by Nicaraugua and its principal office will be at Grey town, with branches in all the other Central American republics. It is more than probable that it will also operate in this country on the sly.

THE Democrats of Sullivan county nominated their ticket last Saturday. The candidate for the legislature is president of the F. M. B. A. county assembly. This is a case in whioh the early bird will catch the w®rm, Sullivan being hopelessly democratic.

THAT iridescent statesman, the late Senator Ingalls, has become a member of the G. A. R. Me was judge advocate of Gen. Deltzler's staff for three months, during the Price raid in Missouri, but never did any actual serylce. When he booomes comfortable in his new quarters he will probably apply for a pension.

THE Now York Democrats will meet in convention at Albany on Monday and go throagh the form of electing a Hill delegation to the national convention. Mr. Hill doesn't seem to be losing any sleep over the recent mugwump eruption, but is going quietly along and gathering in the delegates.

A SOUTH DAKOTA court has granted Mrs. Jamos G. Blaine, jr., a divorce, the custody of James G. Blaine the third and $1,000 alimony. On the conclusion of the case she promptly shook the Deadwood dust from her feet and started for the south. Having secured all that Dakota could bestow upon her she has doubtless completed her residence there, and the state will know her BO more forever.

IN an address before the Ohio Society of New Yerk the other evening ex-Gov-ernor Campbell, of Ohio, took occasion to say that "the vice of patronage will destroy the greatest statesman this country can produce, if some remedy be not applied." He might hare added that the only trouble with the vice is that there isn't enough of it to go around, which accounts for the groat political mortality,

THE recent attack upon the president by Senator Teller is not justified by the facts, and will do the president no harm outside of a few friends of Senator Tellor in Colorado. The administration is endorsed by republicans generally, and the best men in both parties are in Btriot accord with its financial policy. If the presklont would only endorse the tree coinage of silver, thereby flooding the country with cheap money, Senator Teller would be one of his heartiest supporters. But the country is for honest menoy, and the man who advocates that policy is the one who is going to win this year, no matter how much Senator Teller opposes him.

THK United States is certainly well provided with colleges at the present time, and their patronage has grown steadily. In 1850 there were 8,837 students In the colleges of the eouutry in I860 there wore 13,U3» il 1870, 1G,33U in 1SS0, 20,fv0, and In 1890 there were 31,350. The number of college students per 100,000 population In 1890 was 115.7 In New England, 58.7 in Ue Middle States, 3S in the Southern States, 49.6 in the Central States, 31.4 In the Western States, and 44.2 In the Pacific States. These figures show that there is a higher average of college stnde*ts in the Pacific States than in either the Southern or

Western States, and that New England has an average almost double that of the Middle States, and three times that of the Western and Southern States, But New England has drawn heavily from all other sections of the country because of the excellence of her educational institutions.

THE latest cabinet rumors from Washington are that Secretary Foster is about to retire from the Treasury department on account of sickness, and that Secre Ury of War Elkins will run for governor of West Virginia. Neither rumor is improbable. Secretary Foster has been a very sick man for some time, and Elkins seems to be a very popular man in h$s state, snd his friends claim ihey can elect him hr ,%QQQ votes. Each succwllnsr campaign there is an ex prison of cheerful hopefulness thai several southern states will give Republican majorities ranging from fair to sweeping, but the cxperiene* is that when the votes ars counted out the Democrat* are always vrinuers.

LAST Saturday afternoon three hundred members of congress arrived in Chicago on four special trains. As this would make a party of only seventyfive to each train it is presumed that they must have been very elaborate affairs, but as the government pays the freight it is probable that Jerry Simpson and Whiskers Peffer enjoyed the trip as much as any of the other boys. The junket was undertaken in the interest of the World's fair, and as Chicago wants a\docation by congress of a few millions, to help her out of the hole, the members were feted and feasted to their hearts' content. The party retnroed to Washington Monday night, fully impressed with the greatness of Chicago and the volubility of her people. The appropriation has not been voted yet.

THAT much dreaded disease, typhus fever, has made its appearance in this country through the carelessness of the sanitary inspectors of the port of New York, and may cause much trouble before it is stamped out. It is a disease somewhat similar to typhoid fever, but more difficult to control, and also more contagious. It is a filth disease, and originates in crowded tenements or on shipboard where the quarters are crowded and sanitary precautions are neglected. But although it is a filth disease it is not confined to the slums, and may be contracted by any person who comes in contact with it. The criminal carelessness manifested in allowing it admission to this country is a matter which should have a thorough investigation, and the guilty ones should be properly punished.

JUST now the anti-Hill Democrats are making a great ado over the supervisor elections in New York this month, and are using the Republicas successes as an argument against Tammany and in favor of Cleveland. There is nothing in it. For the first time, almost, in the history of the Republican party the Democrats last year gained control of the boards of supervisors in certain counties of that state, and the Republicans have merely regained their own. In the elections held last week the Republicans gained in nine counties and the Democrats in five. Last November, although his majority in the state was over 47,000, Flower carried only nine, teen counties, while Fassett, the Repub lican candidate, carried forty-one. In the supervisor elections the Republicans are merely taking their own. Hill's candidacy had nothing to do with it.

UTAH TO STAY OUT.

The admission of Utah to statehood has been indefinitely postponed. Up to this week its prospects were good, but they have suddenly gone glimmering. When they opened up their campaign for statehood they professed to have long since abandoned in the fullest sepse the principles of plural wives claimed to have had a new revelation from heaven, and after pleading the closest fealty to our laws and the christian church as it stands throughout the civilized portion of the world, asked to have their citizenship restored. Then oame Congressional Delegate Caine with his bill for local government. But it is a difficult matter to tell just what a Mormon means when he professes repentance, the chances being even that he merely wants a little more latitude to insure greater success in working his schemes. In the hearings before the committees of the senate and house, when closely pressed on cross-examina-tion these same penitent rascals charged the Utah commissioners, United States marshals and the federal judiciary with corruption, venality and everything else despicable mentioned in the English lexicon. It at once became plain to even the most partisan Democrats on the committees that the Mormons wanted the change simply for the purpose of placing the government in the hands of persons of t.heir own choice. The deunciations of foderal power showed plain enough that with state government Utah would be dominated by the Mormon church. This of course precludes the possibility of the admission of Utah as a state. People who haye lived among the Mormons, and who are acquainted with their ways know that they cannot be trusted. They are just as treacherous as they ever were, and polygamy is as dear to them at the present time as it was in the palmy days of Smith, Young and Lee. Once give statehood to Utah and the gentiles would have to move out in short order, just as they will in Arizona if it is admitted

While Mormonism exists in Utah it will be well to keep it under federal control, or else divide the territory among surrounding states.

THE HILL CONVENTlbN. The Democratic machine held its convention in New York state last Monday, endorsed David Bennett Hill as a presi dential candidate and instructed the delegates to Chicago to vote for bin as a unit. The representatives of the Cooper Union meeting werte present and entered a protest, but no attention was paid to it and the committee withdrew.

The resolutions declared In favor of tariff reform and sound finance. They oppose the coinage of any silver dollar which is not of the intrinsic value of every other dollar of the United States the Sherman silver law is denounced, the McKinloy bill is stigmatized as being worse than the war tariff, while the Blaine reciprocity is declared to be a humbug, and the billion dollar congress something on which they will surely mil on to victory. Of course Hill, was present to give all the details his personal Attention, and after his endorsement came forward and made the customary speech. The convention was enthusiastic beyond the shadow of a doubt. It was composed of the hurrah element

which admires its chosen leader for the spoils to be divided i® the event.of his success. The election of Hill -would mean a clean sweep in all the offices under the government, from cabinet positions down to the janitor in the most insignificant postoffice in the country. It is a battle for the distribution of patronage, and Cleveland being in a manner pledged to civil service reform isn't in it with the working element of his party anywhere, and least of all in New York.

The battle in New York has, however, just commenced. While the Hill convention wa» rolling in revelry the Cleve land followers hired a hall of their own and resolved to choose delegates to a state convention to be held at Syracuse May 31st, for the purpose of appointing delegates and alternates to represent the Democratic* party of the state at the Chicago convention. The Cleveland followers ostensibly kick on last Monday's convention because it was called too early, but this is only a pretense, as .ftie Hilt crowd would control any Democratic convention held in New York this year. The early convention was called by Hill to demonstrate that he is the choice of the New York Democrats for the presidency, and the kickers want it clearly understood' that he is the choice of the machine, and that he cannot possibly carry his state in November. On the other hand Hill will declare that he has never met with defeat in his state, and will point to the victory of last November, when he carried it for the Democratic ticket by nearly 48,000 majority against the combined efforts of the host Republican party workers, the influence of the administration and the support of the Republican candidates by the mugwumps. To an outsider the fight is a very picturesque one, but at the same time it must be admitted that it is the men who do the party work who are opr posed to Cleveland and favor Hill. It is a mistake to consider Hill a weak candidate. There is no greater political schemer or more successful worker in either party at the present time, of which there is ample evidence in hi» recent steal of both branches of the New York legislature this winter. If Hill isn't the Democratic nominee he will name him, and he will be a man after Hill's own heart. To summarize briefly, Cleveland isn't in it.
