TERRE HAUTE FEB. 11, 1893.

GOVERNOR RUSSELL, of Massachusetts, from an office in Boston, this week engaged in conversation with a number of persons in Chicago, the distanoe apart being twelve hundred miles. This is the longest telephone circuit in the world, and bein/ara success it promises greater possibilities for the future.

IT seenis that both houses of the Indi' ana legislature experience great diffi culty in finding ministers to open their proceedings with prayer. But at the same time nearly every citizen of the state earnestly prays for their final adjournment, and when that does take place there will be a general and sincere return of thanks.

UNDKR the benign influence of Evangelist Mills Evansville is having a religious revival. As this is the first time that wicked town ever experienced anything of the kind the papers down there are dealing with it as a great sensation. The novelty is so great that it is said Editor McNeely seriously contemplates running the scriptures as a serial story.

AN English engineer and electrician has invented & device by means of which he can hold telephonic communication between places unconnected by wire, and has demonstrated its success. On tho same principle a railroad without terminal facilities might carry on communication between cities. This is probably the plan Mr. Dyer has in view in the construction of his celebrated air line. At least the scheme is commend ed to him.

A CALL has been issued by the war department for the immediate assembling of a retiring board to try Captain A. 11 M. Taylor, of the Nineteenth Infantry, who is charged with "conduct unbecoming an ofllcer by marrying a domestic." Well, what of it? Cannot a man marry whom ho pleases in this country, pro vided the other puny is willing? If Captain Taylor is satisfied with his choice the other snobs who are associa led with him shoukl-hold their peace.

Ho KAH as Ferdinand de Losseps is con corned tho Panama scandal investigation is over in France. The venerable engineer was on Thursday seutenced to five years imprisonment and to pay a fine of f),000 francs. His son, Charles, was sentenced to five years imprisonment and a fine of 3,750 francs. Messrs. Fontane, Cotta and Eiffel w«re oach sentenced to two years imprisonment and were heavily fined. Sympathy is freely expressed for tho older De Lesseps, who is believed to have been made, in his old age, the victim of designing speculators.

IK this is to be a "year of aluminum" let it come, and the sooner the better. Bicyclists are looking at this metal with longing eyes. A safety weighing fifteen pounds is among tho possibilities. Dishes weighing next to nothing and requiring neither polishing nor extra care are proposed and experimented with. Canoes carrying crew and duflle, in the aggregate 800 pouuds, and weighing thirty-two pounds are talked of by experts. 1 hese things will surely come about when the mental drops low enough. It cau now be purchased for seventy cents per pound, while In 18of a pound would have cost 9100.

THK latest in cabinet circles is that Judge Walter Q. Gresham is to be Cleveland's secretary of state. Such an appointment by Mr. Cleveland would be the signal for a declaration of war by the rank and file of Democracy, who can see no reason for going outside the political family for a man to fill the most important position in the cabinet. On tho other hand, It has only been a few weeks since Judge Gresham declared himself a Republican, so ho could scarcely see his way clear to accept. It must be remembered, however, that President Hayes called a southern Democrat to his cabinet, and probably Mr. Cleveland has concluded to follow this precedent of minority misrepresentation.

WOKO has been sent out from Washington again that ex-Governor Gray will not be a member of Cleveland's cabinet. The dispatch which conveyed this cheering intelligence was also burdened with the consolation that "Senators Voorhees and Turple have done their best in the way of backing him up for a cabinet place, and while it is known that they have been supported in their position by at least eight-tenths of the party workers in the state, still the same faction that opposed Gray's presidential aspirations last summer has been stroDgly protesting against his appointment to the cabinet," In other words, one fourth of the Democratic workers of Indiana have encompassed the defeat of Gray in the face of the other three-fourths led by Voorhees and Turple. How the mighty have fallen, and how the tall do wag tho dog 5

THK following is the latest cabinet! «,!• which has been handed out for utbUcation: Secretary of state, Walter li. (ircsham, of Illinois wpcroury of thej

treasury, John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky secretary of war, Daniel Lament, of New

York attorney-general, Patrick A. Coilios, of Massachusetts postmaster-gen ersl, James H. Blount, of Georgia secretary of the navy, Hilary A. J&erbert, of Alabama secretary of the interior Henry Villard, of New York. "VFiiile contains some elements of probability, still it is hardly probable that Mr. Cleveland would select a man for the interior department who is interested in some thing like 25,000,000 acres of land granted to a railrosd corporation which it is said has never fulfilled the conditions of the grant. Such a man is Henry "Villard It will also bo observed that the agricul cural department has been left off, from which it might be inferred that there is yet some hope for our favorite son Isaac Pusey Gray.

IT is said that during the investigation of the State Prison South Warden Patton lost his temper. To those who are acquainted with Mr. Patton this is no surprise. Saine years ago Sullivan and Vigo counties formed a judical circuit, and once upon a time its nominating convention was hold in Sullivan. It was a Democratic aflair and the candidates for the jadgship were Judges Davis and Shelton. The former had the Vigo delegation almost solid, and the latter had the Sullivan delegates to a man. The nomination depended upon the organization, and both parties went loaded for bear. The convention was oalled to order by each county chairman at the same time each delegation eleoted a presiding officer and secretary who were recognized by each chairman, and when each came forward and rapped to order the fun opened in earnest. All the delegates talked at once, and they clearly demonstrated the fallacy of the saying that "one at a time and they last longer," because the row continued and pandemonium prevailed for about seven hours. Patton did the rough work for the Shelton men and Tom Harper represented the Davis faction. Each was mounted on a chair, and the way they made the fur fly was a caution. Such a flow of language has never been heard in a convention before or since. There was no mincing of words, nor was the English language ransacked for choice expressions. Each seized upon the words as they came, strung them together in baste and hurled them at his opponent with vim worthy abetter cause. Things were called by ugly names and men were designated by epithets which would not grace a religious paper. In their way neither could have been more forcible in the expression of his contempt for the other, and it was not until both had beo^ine tuoroughly exhausted late in the evening that the others had a chance to declaie a truce, and white winged peace reigned supreme. It was a good thing for the legislative investigatingcommittee that the warden didn't get real fighting mad when they were at Jeffersonvilie, or they might find themselves there yet.

IRISH HOME RULE.

Home rule for Ireland is a question which has agitated that unfortunate country for many years, and though it now seems fairly within reach, yet may elude the grasp, for the measure proposed by Mr. Gladstone doesn't seem to meet with much favor in Irish eyes. The bill establishes an Irish legislative body empowered "to make, amend and repeal laws for the peace, order and good government of Ireland." The legislative powers conferred upon this body are, as far as oiroumstances permit, those which are exercised by the state legislatures in our own country. The powers reseived to the Imperial parliament are as noarly as possible those which in this country have been conferred upon congress.

These powers of the general government include measures for the defense of the whole country, the declaration of war or treaties for peace, compact and other relations with foreign powers, the regulation of commerce aud navigation, excise and custom duties, coining and legal teuder, the postal service and other matters of a general nature. The restrictions upon the Irish legislature also are very similar to those which the constitution of the United States imposes upon the several states, the most important diflerence being the entire reservation to the Imperial parliament authority over the militia and volunteers, as well as over tho army and navy. The restriction from passing "any laws respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free service thereof" is in the precise language of the constitution of the United States where this restriction, already existing in the state constitutions, is placed upon congress as well.

In the restrictive clauses of the bill thore are some details, particularly with regard to religious questions, that are only of local application, but throughout the influence of the American system is manifest, and It has evidently been used as a model. Tho Irisk legislature is to be composed of two chambers, that Is if it ever has a legislature, corresponding as nearly as possible to oar senate and house of representatives, the former chosen from a larger constituency and for a longer term and with a special qualification for membership. The executive authority, including the veto power, remains with the crown, represented by the lord lieutenant. The representation of Ireland in the Imperial parliament remains unchanged, but members are eligible to election in the local legislative body as well.

This is a brief summary of home rule as Mr. Gladstone has prepared It for Ireland, and in what particular it fails to give satisfaction is beyond the ken of the American citlxen of average intelligence. Commencing with the dis«stnblisbwent of the Church of Ireland and the discontinuance of the reglurn donum in the groat English statesman has

been gradually working towards home rule, and now the end is almost in sight. It is said that "half a loaf is better than no bread," but in this case the whole loaf is handed over and "enough is as good as a feast," provided those who partake know when they have had a sufficiency. The trouble with Ireland from its earliest days down to the present has been its internecine strife, caused principally through foolish jealousies among political leaders, and for this reason but little has ever been accomplished in the shape of receiving concessions from England, and nothing at all through Irish leaders. If the present movement to establish home rule fails there will be an end to it for a long time to come, consequently it would be the part of wisdom for the people to accept gracefully that which is offered, give it a fair trial, and where defects are found seek to right them through legitimate channels by legitimate methods.

THE NORMAL APPROPRIATION. The trustees of the State Normal school petitioned the legislature at the opening of the present session for an appropria tion of 960,000, for the erection of an additional building which is much needed, and without which the usefulness of the school will be seriously impaired. Of all the educational institutions of the state this one is most important, and has made for itself o. place which cannot be tilled by any other. With the exception of the Normal all the other schools in Indiana, supported either in whole or in part by the state, prepare their students for the private walks of life. Those who attend the State Normal school are educated solely for the purpose of serving some community in the state in the capacity of teachers, a form of publio of service in which the duties are always arduous, frequently onerous and never a source of accumulating wealth.

The State Normal school has demonstrated its usefulness beyond a doubt, and to curtail that usefulness would be an act of penuriousness for which no condemnation could be harsh enough in its severity. The institution has been in operation since January 6, 1870. The first year of its existence there were 98 students enrolled. The second year the number increased to 141, and gradually the enrollment swelled until in 1892 it reached 1,218, and this year its capacity has been taxed to the extent that students have had to be turned away, and until the addition to the building asked for has been provided the faculty &ill be compelled to close the doors upon many who wish to enter. Her public schools are the pride of the state, and to close the door of the institution which provides teachers for those schools would be worse than an act of folly.

There is good reason for the success and continued prosperity of the State Normal school. From the day it was thrown open to the public until the present it has continued to grow, not only in numbers but in usefulness, and to-day it is probably the most important school of its kind in the country. Its course of instruction is complete and, thorough, and there is always a demand for its graduatesasteachers. A diploma of the Indiana State Normal school is always a sufficient recommendation for any one to possess who is an applicant for the position of school teacher* Of all the institutions of the state there is not one which has a stronger claim for a liberal support, and if usefulness is the primary consideration all the other educational concerns can with safety be stood aside in its favor. This is a matter in which state pride can assert itself to advantage, ana in which it can be exercised safely as a matter of justice. Indiana should be proud of the achievements of her Normal school, and should encourage its growing usefulness by maintaining it liberally. The appropriation asked for is an absolute necessity to the success of the school, and it should be made at all hazards.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that thfey offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it falls to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.
