A BURSTED gall, so it is said, brings a drowned body to the sarfaco. As Hill hasn't come to the surface fti.jce his recent collapse it may be taken for granted that his gall is fin tact.
ALTHOUGH Hon. David Bennett Hill has been struck harder than ever Billy Patterson was there Is not the same anxiety on the part of his late friends to find oat who committed the assault
ONE of the encouraging signs of the times is the scarcity of candidates for city positions this spring In this city. If the office is allowed to seek the man there wilt be better times all around
THE favorite son racket won't work with the Indiana Democrats. Uncle Isaac P. Gray is not their choice for the presidency, nor is it by any means certain that he will adorn the ticket as its caudal appendage.
HAIL stones large enough to break the horns off cattlo were reported by West Virginia this week. They had some very severe storms in Kansas at thfe same time, but none of their liars were able to compete with the hall stono liar of West Virginia.
IT seems that General Alger still considers himself a presidential possibility. As tho president will be renominated by acclamation General Alger would save his credit by gracefully retiring from the contest. His own state is not solid for him, but he seems to forgot that "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
THE third party man In Indiana talks with great volubility and earnestnoas of their great strength In Kansas and Nebraska. It is a noteworthy fact that the strength of such organizations is invatiably in some other locality than that in which it seoIts to establish itself, and that it is always "getting there," but never reaches tho goal.
Mns. MONTAGUE, a member of the upper circle of the Irish aristocracy, tho severity of whose punishment recently caused the death of her three-year-old daughter, has been found guilty of manslaughter and sontonoed to one year's imprisonment at hard labor. Her family did all they could to save her, but their efforts wore fruitless. In that oountry punishment is sure to follow guilt when the testimony is forthcoming.
THE steamship Missouri has arrived at Li ban, Russia, with another cargo of provisions for the famishing of that country from tho people of tho United States. It has only been a few weeks ago since the pooplo of Philadelphia loaded the Indiana and sent her to the same port on a similar errand. This country always stands ready to assist tho needy In any land, and her kindness to Russia In this respect will greatly strengthen tho ties of friendship which have long oxisted between tho two nations.
N(Av that the Chilian an air has been settled Minister Egan and Cousul McCreeryhavo boen granted leaveof absence from their post and will return home on a vacation. This does not mean tho severoance of diplomatic relations with Chili, but simply that tho United States representatives there are going to take a much needed rest. When they arrive iu Now York the recent trouble will be immediately re»opened by the metropolitan press and the revolution will be fought over again with vivid distinctness.
THANE reports are in effect that business of all kinds, is good. The sound of the saw a'nd ham user is heard abroad in the land, and the demand for the bulltier and mechauic Is great. The graneries are full, and with the prospect of a better erop this year than last the farther Is happy* The only unhappy and discordant element in the country at the present time is the calamity howler, who flourishes on the adversities of the land and to whom prosperity is certain death. This isn't a good year for a third party movement,
On Monday last* with only thirty minutes debate, the House of Representatives passed the "Chines exclusion bill,** one of the most important acts now p«edittg in congress. It absolutely prohibits »ny Chinese, whether or not subjects of China (excepting diplomatic and consular officers and servants) from euterinjr the United State* and the Chines® who

A FEW days ago a Pennsylvania man who had suflered several weeks from the grip apparently died. Six hours later the undertaker took charge of the body to prepare it for burial. When he and assistant lifted the supposed corpse to place it on ice the dead man opened his mouth and groaned. A doctor was called in, and aftef several hours hard work the victim of suspended animation was able to speak in a whisper. Ho feebly explained that his feelings were most gruesome when he felt his friends' hands close his eyes, but he was powerless. He knew the undertaker and recognized his voice when he came to perform his mission. He heard his family making arrangements for his funeral and still he could not cry out as he longed to. As they lifted him the spell was broken. A few days later he died in real earnest, but the undertaker waited as long as possible before putting the body under the ground.
DROUTHY NEW YOR
Last Sunday New York City didn't know itself. At midnight Saturday all the saloons and gambling houses were closed up tight, and remained closed until Monday morning. It was impossible for any person t^ obtain a drink in a saloon for love or iripney, and the way it was done was this. On Saturday evening the police served the following notice on the saloon keepers: "The attention of the police having been called to the faot that saloon keepers in New York have been in the habit of keeping open on Sunday in violation of the law, and this fact being known to Dr. Parkhurst, who has lately been making things mighty uncomfortable for all hands, it Is urged that the proprietors of all saloons will see tho propriety of respecting the Sunday law to-morrow. Those not seeing tho propriety of this summary action must expect to abide by the consequences of their folly." Of course the order was Intended as a temporary affair, but as Dr. Parkhurst is in earnest the restraint is likely to continue for some time. It isyavldent, however, that in New York when tho police issue an order it is obeyed. In this case the grand jury in its presentment charged the police with roceivlng protection money from the violators of the law, and were compelled to do something to redeem themselves. It is a very hard blow on tho Tammany element, but the fact that it had the desired effect on the toughest element in the country shows that even New York has a moral element which is a power when it chooses to exert its force.
Tbe "Annex" is the new saloon of Ray «fc Werkiser, No. 405 Main street. It has been fitted up regard loss of expense and contains as neat lixtures as are to be fouud anywhere. It is the intention of the proprietors to make it the popular resort of the city, and with this object in view have laid in the finest assortment of liquors and cigars to be found in town. All customers will be treated with courtesy and the best the market affords. Next Tuesday evening, the 12th, has been fixed for the grand opening. The Ringgold band and orchestra has been engaged for the occasion. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present* •i iflps

any other foreign power. It contains some other provisions which are of very little importance. The passage /f the bill WJMI nrged by all the Pacific coast members, who assert that the Chinese government is
daily
violating the treaty.
If the bill should pass both houses and receive the signature of the president it would probably
retaliation on the
part of the Chinese government, which at piesentr threatens the adoption of some measure to prevent Americans from landing on their shores and carryon business in*their country. However, it is scarcely possible that an act so sweeping in its provisions, as is the one DOW before congress, will ever became a law, even if it did pass the house by a vote of 179 to 43.
As *a weather prophet Hicks is evidently In it, and need not be without honor even iu his own country. His April predictions for the beginning of the month were fulfilled with anch vivid force that they will not soon be forgotten. The storm swept country covered a large area, embracing portions of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and Minnesota. For the most part the storm was confined to very heavy rain and lightning, but' iu places there was heavy wind and hail, while a number of towns ware visited by tornados. In Chicago a number of buildings were blown down and several lives were lOBt, while in Kansas it is said that four towns were wiped out with greater rapidity than bad they been struck by a collapsed boom.

There is no disputing the fact that Goodman & Hirschler, Nos. 410 and 4121 Wabash avenue, are now and have been for a long time, 'the leading merchant tailors, not only of Terre Haute, hot of western Indiana. Their reputation has been honestly earned through years of hard work, and earnest desire to please customers, and by keeping only the best goods and truthfully representing them. This spring their stock is more complete than ever, and they are receiving many duplicate orders for clothing already delivered.

Heckelsberg have been laying in for the

on't Let Them Bluff You. The reason why I have in the Ormonde Cycles with clincher pneumatio tires "the best wheel on earth," is the fact that some dealers have tried hard—very hard to get the agency of the Ormonde away from me {I have letters to prove this). My final advice is, buy from the man who knows all about a wheel his experience will be your benefit. Consult .......... .GEO. C. ROSSELL, jt A 325 Wabash Ave.
