TERRE HAUTE APRIL 2, 1892,
IF Engineer Cooper is guilty of all that he is charged with he must have had some assistance frm the inside, and if he goes down he will, not be without company.
THE war on senator Quay Is not making much headway in Pennsylvania, and the chances are that he will succoed himself in the United States senate, •^provided he desires to continue that business.
AN Italian iu Pennsylvania undertook to dry some giantjpowder the other day by placing it
on
a hot stove. The rem-
"liaats of the building were broken tine enough for kindling, and all the dagos In the neighborhood attended the funeral.
THE decision of Judge McNutt, that Mr. King is not the city council of Terre Haute, was a surprise to those who have watched the antics of that body during the last year. If the city attorney will appeal from that decision he can have it :reversed without any trouble.
THBRE are rumors that the Indians at the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies are getting ready tu fight again. If they try anything or that kind all sentimentality should be left out of the controversy and the savages should be treated as the exigency of the case demands.
TIIK punishment for wife beating Maryland is forty lashes and twelve months imprisonment. If the lash is plied with sufficient vigor it should deter the brute from offending again, but if arraignod a socond time the dose should be increased to suit the occasion.
GISN. B. F. HAVENS has been down to Evansvllle, and in connection with his advocacy of Hill as a presidential candidate one of the papers says that by and by Ben "will grow faint at the terrlbleiiess of his isolation." Grow faint doesn't express it. Isolation to Benjamin -would mean instant death.
THE present situation in city affairs •would aflord a great scope for anonymous communication^, suoh asjappeared in the columns of the defunct News during the early days of the metropolitan controversy. If the "holier than thou" party had an organ now they could make things hum.
A NKW YORK
THAI!
some time ago
went to Dakota and procured one of those divorces for which that state has become notorious. Returning to his home again he married. The other day a New York judge declared the Dakota decree worthless, and the secoud marriage bigamous. This should be a warning to the "divorces easily obtained" business and those who patronize thorn.
ANOTHER murtlerer was electrocuted in Sing Sing prison, New York, this week. He was accompanied to the portals of paradise by two priests, with whom he prayed until the electric cur
rent
conducted him hence. The execution was under the new law, which admits reporters. There was some question as to whether death was instantaneous, but there was no doubt as to Its effectiveness.
WALT WHITMAN, the Good Gray Poet, died at his home In Camden, N. J., last Saturday evenlm?, in the seventy-third 'year of his age. Ho was attacked with pneumonia last December, and since then has had a hard struggle with doath. There is a diversity of opinion as to his merits as ft poot, but all admit his ability, and agree that his work will have its influence on the American literature of the future.
AN Iowa man is living out $10,000 iu jail, which practically amounts to a life sentence, and all for violation of the liquor law.
A
few years ago a drug
clerk in Wichita, Kansas, was found ,f?uilty of violation of the prohibitory law in a sufficient number of eases to ruu his jail imprisonment up to about twenty-eight years, It is such punishments as those which bring the prohibitory law into disrepute aud subject its advocates to the charge of fanaticism.
DOCTOR PARKHCRST, the noted New York divine, has been making it so intensely interesting for the saloon keepers in hie district that all of them, about two hundred and fttfty in number, were compelled to close up tight last Sunday, and the day was the drieet the "Tenderloin District" has ever experienced. But the hetels and restaurants, and drug

No man who haa formed or exprsesed opinion In a given case is considered fit to alt as juror in that case. In its teport of the committee meeting on Wedn«»day the Bxpwee of Thursday -morning says: "The committee then to '.'I-*i

tioas of the/city engineer's office and the statements that unfit material was being need- iu sewer work now progressing. Mr. Stimson attributed this to the fact that Cooper was the back-bone of thedepartmentand, the back-bone being gone,' the contractors were imposing upon the remainder of the foree. Mr. Stimson suggested that the persons who preferred^ the charges against Cooper were .profiting in the interim by his absence and that something needed to be done abont it." If the city attorney is reported correctly he has evidently made np his mind, and should be excused. %fs s?
A PHILADELPHIA jury in a murder case was discharged this week after wrestling with the case nearly sixty hours without any prospect, immediate or remote, of arriving at a verdict. Before turning them loose on the community again the judge said: "Gentlemen of the jury: I cannot discharge you without saying that this is a most flagrant miscarriage of justice. So plain were Lhe facts of this case that those of you who for malicious or for other reason stood out against a verdict of murder in the first degree should hang your beads in shame. You are a disgrace to society and should be regarded as such. Uuder our institutions as they now exist any citizen who may be laid violently hold of in the public streets can Bay no word against the police if they fail to come jto his rescue." Had it not been for the serious illness of one of the members the jury would have been held together until they reached a verdict. Such judges are scarce, more's the pity, and Philadelphia should take good care of this one.
PEACE TO ITS ASHES.
The freo silver bill is dead beyond resurrection so far as the House of Representatives is concerned, and there is not the reinvest possibility that the Senate will have anything to do with it.~ About seven weeks ago the house, by a vote of 190 to 84, made it a special order, and in the preliminary skirmishes which occurred between the friends and enemies of the measure It was evident that the suicidal policy had over*100 majority.
When the strength of the supporters of the Bland bill had been thus clearly demonstrated the business men of the country tfecaine seriously alarmed, and earnest protests poured in upon congress from almost every section of the laud, and their effect soon became apparent. Instead of a margin of 100 votes when the crucial test came the majority had melted away and the casting vote of the Speaker was all that saved the bill from absolute defeat. That was on Thursday of last week, and on Monday of this week the bill was given its final quietus when Speaker Crisp announced that the committee on rules would, not deem it proper to report a *rule preyenting filibustering and forcing a vote unless a majority of the Democratic members should sign a petition demanding such ah arbitrary procedure.
There can be no pretense of justification for the eflbrt to enlarge our silver ourrency, and there cannot be even the semblance of excuse for giving the producers of silver 870,000,000 a year for 150,000,000 worth of silver. With equal propriety might jthe farmers of the land ask the government to pay a premium ef 30 per oent. on the market value of their wheat and other agricultural products and every other productive industry could have equal claims upon the government to maintain its markets. Free silver is now advooated iq the Houfee for the benefit of a very small class of silver producers at the expense of the whole people, and the argument oalling for increased currency evades the vital point at issuo.
The silver laws at present on the statute books are satisfactory to the couutry, but it seems a curse from which there is no escape that biennially some narrow minded statesmen break into oongress fully imbued with the idea that they can legislate the country into prosperity, and forthwith proceed to attempt it. At present the silver inflation is sufficient. It is now adding§60,000,000 annually to the ourreucy, an increase which is certainly sufficient to meet every business need of the country. To go beyond that would be inflation which would bring about wild speculation, taxation of all for the benefit of a few, a depreciated currency and unsettled values in every channel of legitimate business. This is what the majority of the House of Kep#esentati»es has been threatening for some time. That they have become alarmed over the probable consequences of their proposed action is cause for congratulation, and it is to be hoped they will keep in plain view the wrath which is sure to follow their free silver foolishness.
IT LOOKS LIKE CLEVELAND. Since the agitation of the presidential nomination commenced a large number of Democrats have launched their booms upon the bosom of the troubled waters with an unvarying want of success, first and foremost among the crowd was Senator Hill, of New York, whose audacity threatened to carry everything before it. He stole both branches of the legislature of his state from the Republicans without any pretense of honesty or justice, and then proceeded to fix the state so that it would be a sure Democratic winnel tor the next half century. On this kind of party work he based his claim for the nomination and ss a starter captured the New York delegation to the Chicago convention. Bis followers, who bat* noiove for Cleveland, have established many small booms in various localities, in the hope of securing antiCleveland delegations. Tfcke, for example, the Palmer boom in Illinois the Grey boom In Indiana, and others which might be mentioned. None of them hsTSSTwatoodaghostofashow to se-

cure the nomination, though they may have'firmly believed it, and Hill has been tlie residuary legatee of all of them. But Hill's gyrations have recently become disgustinor^and he has been steadily declining as a possibility for some time. Years
ago
Johnson swung around
the circle in search of a vindication, and when General Grant returned from his tour around the world his trip from San Francisco to New York was a series of grand ovacions intended to keep him before the people as a presidential candidate in 1880. But neither of the men
successful, and where they received attention Hill has only invoked ridiculed The recent southern trip of the latter has opened J:he eyes of the people. He has been openly bidding for the nomination, and in doing so has made many partisan speeches, full of rant and political bluster, but from none of his utterances have the people yet been able to learn how he stands on any vital question. He is not considered a sate man, and his party is drifting away from him. And as Hill loses strength Cleveland gains. The opposition to the ^stuffed prophet" has been looking around in vain for a man on whom thejy could concentrate against him, but ha^e failed to make the discovery. In 18|2 the Democratic battle cry was "Anything to beat Grant," and in ,1892 tbe Hill cry is "Anything to beat Cleveland," but Hill cannot bring abodt Cleveland's defeat in the convention. Theory that Tammany wont support Cleveland is all nonsense. Tammany Is after the spoils, and Cleveland is aftei* the presidency. It will be a matter of bargain and sale, and Mr. Cleveland having received substantial assurance in 1888 that without Tammany assistance democratic success is impossible he will see to it that his old friend the enemy shall not be against him. At the present time Cleveland is gaining strength in his party, and his nomination by accla-mation-need surprise no one. It looks as though the campaign will be with the same candidates as in 1888, and with the same issues, with probably freo silver forced ipto the democratic platform.
