TERRE HAUTE FEB. 18, 1893.

THIRE IS a rumor abroad that before final adjournment the Indiana legislature will pass a bill to let the county offices to the lowest and best bidders.

AND now Peter JackBon has joined the grand army of would be actors. He is rehearsing in San Francisco for Uncle Tom's Cabin. The play, in all sincerity has been rotten enough for years, and it is not at all likely that the addition of the noted colored pugilist will add any strength to the cast.

THE Kansas papers are haying lots of fun with their congressional delegation. One says that Senator Martin will be the big gun and Peffer will only be a pop gun, while another remarks that Jerry Simpson will be the air gun. As wind is the principal production of Kansas J«rry is entitled to the post of honor.

THK McDonald will case, which has been on trial at Noblesville, this state, for several weeks, was decided yesterday. Th« jury finds for the plaintill, which means that the will is broken. The case will now go the supreme court. The amount involved is about $45,000, property in Indianapolis, which the alleged will gave Mrs. McDonald.

ON Tuesday morning Bruce Carr, one of the beat known men in Indiana, died in Indianapolis after only a few days illness. He entered the army before he was 15 years old, graduated afterward from the State University, taught school and sold school books. In 1884 he was nominated for Auditor of State on the Republican ticket, but was defeated. In 188G ho was again nominated and elected, end re eleoted In 1888. Ho was widely known in Indiana ada Mason, and took a great interest in Masonic work. Ho was elected Grand Master of the Grand LodgJ of Indiana in 1882, and held the ollloe until 1881. At that time he was the youngest Grand Master over elected in the United States.

Tun Chicago Inter-Ocean has declared war on pool-selliug and book-making as practiocd at Washington Park, Hawthorne and Roby, and is especially bitter in its denunciation of the last two, which it charges with a purpose of keeping open the year round and running inferior stock through rain, mud, ice and snow simply aw a basis of gambling, and with no redeeming trait whatever. As a choice of evils it recommends faro and roulette as being more honest and less to be feared, and announces with emphasis that it will no longer advertise for them nor print the news of their races, but is in for a war of extinction, In which ouly their vilenoss and wicked influence in the community will recoive publicity. In its good work the InterOcean should have the hearty support of every true lover of sport in the country. Those so-called race tracks are run ouly as gambling dovioes, and are in no way intended for ie development of speed or the encouragement of breeding good stock, because they are not patronized by good stock men. They are the meanest of gambling schemes, and no more ©ntltlod to existence than a brace game ot faro. One of these tracks—Roby—-is located in Indiana and should bo wiped out of existence.

LAST Monday Mr. Gladstone introduced in the British houso of conuuous his long looked for and much talked of bill for Irish home rule. Tho occasion was tho most iiuport-ant and exciting evoot witnessed in tho English parliament during the prosent century, and was the crowning act of a life well spent in an attempt to buttor tho condition of a race which has long chafed under English misrule. In introducing hi# measure the aged premier dwelt at length uptn tho treatment which Ireland has received from England, showing that eight-tenths of the Irish people demand home rule, while tho lory, or conservative element propose to withhold it at the request of the other twotenths. In tho course of his spoeoh "the grand old man" paid tribute to the United States by his admission that his bill was principally founded on our constitution, aud that the rights granted Ireland conformed as far as practicable with those granted to and enjoyed by the several states. In tho commons there is a majority in favor of the measure, and it will undoubtedly pass tj^at body. When it reaches the house of lords there will be a vigorous kick, but that ancient body will be compelled to face the music and pass it, or England may wake up some tine morning and

And itself without a house of lords, which at bost is« useless body.

END OFTHE TELEPHONE MONOPOLY. in lea® than a month the telephone patents will expire, and then any person can manufacture and operate telephones without let or hindrance. Doubtless this will be a groat relief to those who employ the telephone for huaine*a or any other purpose, tvecauss it will not only cheapen telephone rates but will bring about Improvement in the •service. Every person who now uses she telephone will bav# no hesitancy in

subscribing to the fact that the prices charged by the existing corporations doing business under the Bell patents are exorbitant. It is* equally trne that the service has been poor, and has been going from bad to worse.

The telephone is one of the great conveniences of the day, and under proper conditions its use can be greatly extended.

Under

existing circumstances there

are no less than 550,000 telephones now in use. When better service at less cost can be furnished there are many thousands who will use the telephone wko cannot now afford it, and it is estimated that the number in use will increase three-fold within a short time after the expiration of the patent if the laws of competition and improvement are not in some way neutralized.

In view of these facts it is extremely important that neither congress, state legislatures or city councils shall extend exclusive grants in the matter of right of way or in any other form. When the patents expire the public should be in a position to secure the benefit of competitive rates and improved telephones. No exclusive privileges should be granted which will render this impossible. Enormous fortunes have been reaped by the owners of the patents on the royalities whic^ have been exacted, but no fault will be found with that which has been done in the past if in the future competition and better and cheaper telephone service are provided. The inventors and those who purchased the inventions were entitled to their reward, and they have had it. The public who have paid the reward will now have, their turn.

GRESHAM'S POSITION.

It may be saicA-with truth that Judge Gresham's position before the American people to-day is an anomalous one, and his acceptance of the leading place in Cleveland's cabinet is as great a surprise as was the announcement that the president elect had selected him for the position. Previous to the announcement, a few days before the election, that he would vote for Cleveland the Republicanism of Gresham was never questioned, and since the election, if reported correctly, he has taken the trouble to announce that he is still a Republican He declined the Populist presidential nomination, although be said that he was in sympathy wi& some of the party vagaries,and this week it was announod that he positively declined to allow the use of his name before the Minneapolis convention.

If these statements are all true it. is difficult to see the propriety of Mr. Cleve land selecting Judge Gresham for the position of secretary of state. It is true that Gresham has been known as a tarifl reformer ever since he became a member of Arthur's cabinet, but then the Democratic party is made up of tariff reformers, among whom are a number of gentlemen just as distinguished and evt-.ry whit as well qualified for tho position of secretary of state as is the distinguished jurist from Indiana. Doubtless also Gresham is in touch with Cleveland in his financial polioy, as are all the leading business men of the country, and wheu they come together on these points it might almost be truthfully said that party lines are obliterated. But in the eyes of the Democratic party workers these are not sufficient reasons why Mr. Cleveland should go beyond the party lines for a secretary of state.

In tendering the premiership to Judge Gresham there is no doubt that Mr. Cleveland has some ulterior object in view, and by common consent it is supposed to be the reformation of the Democratic party, including a reconstruction on new lines regardless of the wishes of the old party wheelhorses, whose chief object in life is to vote the straight ticket without question and run for office. In the last campaign the Democratic politicians were for anybody to beat Cleveland, before the nomination, and when compelled to accept him gave him support simply because they had no other choice, relying upon his generosity for reward in the event of success. No one knows this better thau Cleveland, aud knowing too that be has the party by the tail it looks very much as though he intends to shape its course in such a manner that the politicians will be left out in the cold and that Judge Gresham or some.one like him will be his residuary legatee when it comes to settling up the Democratic estate in the campaign ot 1S1XJ.

The eflect of the new departure is variously estimated. Generally speaking the Republicans profess to be satistied with it there are a few Democrats who say they are delighted more of them who roundly condemn it, and the grand army of office seekers are reticent until the distribution has taken place. In all seriousness, though, it must be admitted that no man thus far who has outgrown his party has ever after attained political distinction, either in the camp which he deserted or in the other in which he sought shelter. After the death of Lincoln it was the misfortune of Johnson te differ with his party, end notwithstanding his declaration that he would be the Moses to lead the colored population through the wilderness, he went from the White House to obscurity. Frank P. Blair, who one time declared in this city that he "would rather sieep with a nigger that a Democrat," was made the tail of the Democratic ticket in 186S and went to overwhelming defeat. Later Chase left the Republican party and carried on a mild flirtation with the Democrats, who never took him up. Greeley forced himself upon the Democratic national convention in 1872, and the campaign killed him, while the Republicans whs went with him have been hewer* of wood and drawers of water in the Democratic camp ever sine©. It may

be

possible that Mr. Cleveland will succeed in doing better with his portege, but is far from probable.
