TERRE HAUTE MAY 21, 1892.

MANY of the prominent Republican speakers of the country are booked for speeches in Missouri during the coming campaign, but as it has been a sure Democratic winner for twenty years there can be very little hope of a cbaoge this year.

WITH Boles, Campbell, Palmer, Gray, and several others in the race for second place on the National Democratic ticket the chances of Col. Isaac Pusey Gray, of Indiana, are dwindling. But as Mr. Gray wants first place or nothing the latter goes

ITALY'S representative, Baron Fava, is at his post In Washington again, just as though nothing had happened between the two countries. This country paid for the Italian murderers who were properly killed in New Orleans, and having received its pound of flesh the Italian government was satisfied and friendly relations were resumed. ,,s

Two weeks from next Tuesday the Republican national convention meets In Minneapolis, and two weeks later the Democratic National convention meets in Chicago. The nomination of Harrison by the first named seems to bo a foregone conclusion, whilg the Democrats are all at sea and unablo to concentrate their forces on any particular candidate.

A TEXAS murderer whoklllgd his man on the 6th instant was indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to ninety-nine years at bard labor In the ponitentiary within eight days after the commission of the crime. When the Texans go arter a fellow they generally make short work of him, though they do not always confine themselves to statutory proceedings.

SENATOR TUBPIK wants to (exempt veterans of the late war from competitive examinations in the classified servlgo of the United States, and proposes that soldier-clerks shall only be subjected to suoh examinations as may test their fitness for promotion. Senator Turple's great love for the soldier is like Borne poople's lellglon—from the teeth out.

IT IS olaimed for New Mexico that it possesses the richest Iron ore mines in the world. A syndicate of capitalists Is preparing to invest from $15,000,000 to 125,000,000 in the find, which is said to be pure Iron of the Bessemer steel quality, with 15,000,000 tons in sight. The mineral crop of New Mexico is probably the riohest in the world, its soil the poorest and greaser population the meanest.

THE mayor or Toledo, Ohio, has declared in favor of Sunday bate ball, because It keeps those who attend it away from worse placos, whereupon the preaohers arose as one man and denounced him, While the mayor and preachers were waging a loud, windy war the base ball cranks held an indignation meeting at which the ministers were condemned. The war goes merrily on, and the attendance at Sunday ball games in Toledo is increasing.

IT is announced by a no less distinguished authority than Speaker Crisp that that branch of congress over whloh he presides will complete its work by the middle of July, when it will be ready for adjournment. If the remainder of its work is to be judged by that already done, It would be to its credit to adjourn in the living present. Having thus far surpassed the billion dollar congress in extravagance it can afford to take a protracted vacation with the least possible delay.

A KANSAS man has given 9125,000 to the Odd Fellows of that state to found a home for children of deceased members of the order. As the donor is still alive his heirs will miss a glorious opportunity to contest a %vill, and the lawyers will bo out a good fee. If benevolently inclined people would make their bequests during life they could enjoy their good deeds and at the same time often prevent worthless scalawags from coming in after death and defeating their good intentions.

THK war between the cattle men and the cattle thieves of Wyomlng continues. The latter seem to be strong enough to capture everything in sight and defy the authorities, while the men who own the stock and furnish the capital to operate the range are compelled to call upon the troops for protection. This is a disgraceful state of aflfeira and should be stopped without any further ceremony. As the state authorities seem pewerlesa the troops should be sent oat en a war of extermination. Organised bands of cattle thieves* can have no place in this country, and as they opealy dety the lavr they should be treated as so many wild beasts which prey on the herds of the range.

THK latest in trust* is a wall paper syndicate, the manufacturer* of that commodity havia«|foraied a grand oorporation with f*VWM00 capital. Trusts eecw to be the order of the day in almost every line of business In which

tfifai

there is competition. First came the whisky trust, followed by the wheel trust, standard oil trust, straw board trust and a dozen other trusts, including the farmers' trust to force op the price of grain. This trust business has become a crying evil, and. cannot long be kept out of politics—in fact there are indica tions that it will be forced to the front in the cam pain this year, and when the people are called upon to face the question of maintaining or overthrowing these gigantic monopoly trusts their decision can be accurately predicted.?

THE Actors' Fund fair, which closed in New York a fe*v days ago was the most successful of its kind ever held in this country, having netted $150,000. This money goes to a fund which is used for the assistance of sick and destitute members of the profession, and in the burial of their dead. In several of the eastern cities the actors own large tracts in the cemeteries, in which their own dead are buried. It is the business of the Actors' Fund association to assist the worthy needy of the profession, and no matter where they are, when applied for, the aid Is promptly forthcoming.^

A JUIIY in New York state has given a coroner a verdict for $25,000 against James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New York Herald, for libel. The Herald charged the coroner with being drunk when he held a certain inquest, whereupon the official demanded a $50,000 poultice for his lacerated feelings, and was given the sum stated. It has been rather an expensive advertisement for the Herald, and if the coroner could only be libeled to the same extent a few times during his official career he wouldn't care particularly for are election and could afford to allow the emoluments of his office to go to the demnition bow wows.

In talking about prohibition in bis state a Maine druggist who was in Boston the other day, said: "I have been here in Boston for two days, but have seen much less drunkenness than exists In most' any large city in Maine. The fact is, that there is free rum everywhere in our own state Just now. It is a peculiar fact that the third party people and the liquor dealers are hand in hand in wanting the prohibition law some more. And why should not the liquor dealers want It. They are selling in Portland openly, and as long as they have no big license to pay their profits are the greater. Of course they may be detected once or twice a year, but they get ofl with a $100 fine, and that is cheap." A similar statement might truthfully be made of Iowa and Kansas, the other two prohibition states. Prohibition has never been known* to. prohibit where men want to drink, and where they do not want to drink a prohibitory law is unnecessary.

FOR several months past Henry Watterson has beep in Washington doing all heoan to discourage the Cleveland fol* lowers, in which pleasing occupation he has the hearty assistance of the Hill stripe of politicians. It has only been a few short months since Mr. Watterson was the most enthusiastic Cleveland soreeoher throughout the length and and breath of the land, but

SINCE he avowed disbelief in eternal damnation Dr. Lyman Abbott has been making it exceedingly interesting for the orthodox faith. In a late sermon he made an attaok on that old Presbyterian stronghold, Princeton college, in which he said: "I indict the spirit of traditionalism because it is the mother of skepticism. While it pretends to defend the faith it is destroying the faith, and it is destroying the faith because it is demanding that men shall not believe the great truths of religion but the traditional addenda that have gathered about the great truths of religion. Faith is faith in God, not in a creed. Faith is faith in Christ, not in a Westminster divine. Faith is faith in the life that is revealed in the bible, not in the teach ings of the nineteenth century concern ing the teachings of the sixteenth century about the bible." This will be no ahoek to Presbyterianism, which never changes, no matter how rapidly the world moves. Come what may it is al ways the same and, like the medical profession, admits of no innovations unless handed down direct from heaven.

ENCOURAGE COMPETITION. An effort is being made in the east to secure cheaper telephone rates by encouraging competition. As matters now stand the Bell corporation is the only telephone company in existence, consequently it has the public at its mercy, out charge its own rates and compel business men to pay them or go without telephones. Under such conditions low rates are out of the question. With a lively competitor, however, mattens would be different the Bei! monopoly would have to come down from Its perch and its patrons would be given a service at something like its real value.

If competition is possible It should be encouraged. There is no mere reason for monoply in the telepone than in newspapers, telegraphs, railways, hetela, or any other business upon which the com-, fort, convenience or prosperity of the

company

son which he has never condescended to explain, he suddenly became convinced that his encyclopedical excellenoy would only lead his party to defeat if nominated, and since that time has been laying up for future mastication a large stock of orow. In this connection It might be remarked that Mr. Watterson is endeavoring to establish a boom for Senator Carlisle, the impossibility of whose candldaoy in only excelled by the absurdity of Mr. Watterson's objections to Cleveland. The distinguished editor of the Courier-Journal has evidently fallen among the Philistines, and his friends should be looking after him before it is everlastingly too late.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAm

community dependsJ The country should not be dependent upon one telephone

any more than upon one

railroad, telegraph line or grocery store. If competition in telephone service is possible it should be invited by the pub? lie, and if it cannot be accomplished in any other way government aid should be invoked.

In all branches of business competition is the life of trade and the only sure guarantee of reasonable prices. The encouragement of competition is the true policy to be followed in the matter of securing better and cheaper telephone service. It is worse than useless to denounce the Bell company for charging outrageous rates if it is allowed to hold the field to the exclusion of all others. If competition can be invoked lower rates will immediately follow, and if not the public must be content to contribute in silence to the enormous harvest which the owners of the monopoly are constantly reaping.

Still Looking for a Mule Car. The same man thinks he thinks when he conoludes that white lead corrode^ by acetio acid, mixed with an uncertain quality of oil, all stirred up with a stick, is the straight and narrow way to the best results in house painting. The facts are we have outlived such crude ideas which are only obtained when leads and oils are honestly made and applied. The white lead when in an air tight keg, is all right, but when exposed to the air in applying It to the house the acetio aoid at once commences to corrode and consume the lead and oil until within a year you can rub the paint off on your hand like chalk. Now can you not conceive the possibility of scientific research and experiment reaching something more durable and satisfactory? Our Lowe Bros.' high standard, ready for use paints are the nearest approach to a perfect paint. The fine grinding makes it cover in one coat equal to hand mixing two coat work. The zinc forms a hard glossy surface which .also acts as an air tight covering te atop the corrosion of the lead and oil which is the base of our paint. We point yon to jobs from two to four years standing still but' bright evidences whioh when backed by our solid warrant, that when properly used we guarantee satisfaction, should show you that you cann'ot class this high grade with common mixed paints.
