TERRE HAUTE MAY 6, 1893.
Yesterday the president ordered the
removal of Postmaster D. C. Greiner
and the,appointment of A. H. Donbam to succeed hitn.. This is official.
W. ALFRED PKFFKH is the way his whiskers from Kansas now designates himself. Men who part their names that way, like whistling girls and crowing hens, seldom accomplish much in this world.
THERE is now really cause for the famous remark made at one time by the governor of North Carolina to his excellency of South Carolina. With only forty-six saloons in the latter commonwealth it really looks as though it might be along time between drinks.
SENATOR QUAY is said to be very much amused over the report that he is going to resign his seat in the senate. Since Mr. Harrison retired from the White House Senator Quay has been enjoying public life tolerably well, and will doubtless continue to do so till the expiratiou of his torm.
SINCE the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal came back at Hon. Benjamin F. Havens wi£h such a varied assortment of vigorous English Ben aeoms to have temporarily retired to a state of Innocuous desuetude. If he doesn't recover pretty shortly it will be in order for some kiud friend to arise and tell him where he is at and what he Isn't going to get.
THE fourth assistant postmaster general seems to have had a misunderstanding with his ax this week. Probably it ha.* become dull from constant use, or the steady swing may have become tiresome to the arms which have never used it before. At any rate it gives a slight reprieve to the condemned, for which tlioy are doubtless thankful. But how about the elect who are in patiently waiting?
TUB edict has gone forth that Se retary Qrosham will roinove every Republican CIIIRUI just as rapidly as circumstances will permit and replace them all with Domocrata, The state department has 260 consulates at its disposal, and Indiana has served notice tfafft it wants to All 8eventy|of them, since Gen. Havens has been so cruelly turned to the wall. With an equal number of applicants from each state thero should bo no trouble experienced in making good selections.
IT is said that Jerry Simpson is laid up with rheumatism at his homo in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. This is onoof those visitations of Clod to which the people geuerally easily bocome reconciled, and that which is Jorry's misfortune in this oaso is everybody's gain. Seriously, though, Jerry should romodol his habits. This thing of wearing silk hose and patout loathor boots in Washington, and go ing barefoot among his Kansas aborigine constituents may be good politics but it isn't productive of good health.
Cor.. THAAC PRSNKV GRAY is now safely installed in his new position of minister to Mexico, whore he will draw his salary of 117,500 a year, bo a safe distance from all the turmoil and strifo now agitating the democratic party, and will be or hand again In the next national campaign for the highest position in the land, Your Urtcle Isaac was no fool when ho preferred the life of minister to Mexico to a cabinet position, for while those at home are wrangling ovor the spoils he will be quietly making his arrangements to come home and scoop the beet in sight In the next campaign.
THE FAIR OPENING.
Last Monday the World's Columbian Exposition was formally thrown open to the universe by the people of Chicago through the president of the United States, and between that day and the
Ust of Ootober It has been estimated that no less than 20,00Q,W* paving visitors will enter tho gates. The rush of people on the opening day was simply terrific, and tho stream of humanity to the big eiiy by tho lake is ©spooled to be steady and constant, while the perseverance, pluck and enterprise which have char$et«rUed the preparations are certainly deserving of th® success which will follow.
With the exception of St. Louis, New York and portions of England the world known that the World's Fair is open, and there is a Wot ray of hope that the nwa will dawn on those benighted 1 valines In time to enable them to derive some benefH from it* The fair is not a creation of Chicago, but belongs to th» whole country, and is a matter in which every America citizen should interest himself to the extent of seeing that it Is a secured the honor of bring lo««t»on of the fair in ol„

medical authority of Great JBritain, sent a commission to Chicago to investigate the water supply. Of course the expedition was not sent out in the interest of C' icago, nor was there any anticipation that its report would be fayorable. The Lancet received the sort of report it wanted and published it on the 8th of April. It then reprinted the report as a separate document and has mailed a copy of it to every paper in this country. Presumably it has also sent it to every paper in its own country and Europe. But this won't stop the fair, nor will it materially injure it. The Columbian exposition is the grandest thing of the kind ever undertaken in this or any other country, and it is going to be a success. Failure is a word unknown to the enterprise and push of Chicago.
THE SILVER CRAZE.
It is asserted that the government has lost no less than $100,000,000 in the purchase of silver during the last twenty years, and that the only result has been the debasement of the currency, the endangering of credit and a general disturbance thoughout the country. Since 1873 the government has purchased silver amounting to §477,575,403 in the aggregate. The present value of this silver is $97,344,500 less than it was when purchased. The average cost of silver last year was 87.55 cents per ounce, and its present value about 83 cents, making a a loss on the years's purchases of §2,462, 000.
The purchase of silver was commenoed in 1873, and the following table, showing the intrinsic value of a legal tender silver dollar during each year since that time, tells the story of decline even when tho government purchased almost the entire Amerioan silver product: Year Value
Year 1883 1884 1885 1886 1887
1876 ... 8W
Value .80.858 .801 .823 .709 .758 .727 .721 .809 .704 .674
1890 1891 1892
1S81 881 1882 s878
The table proves ,the entire -fallacy of the assumption that the yalue of silver may be maintained by the government purchasing an amount equal to the American product, and it is time to call a halt in this insane policy, for which there is no excuse save that it gives a support to the languishing silver producers. There is no reason why the few thousand of silver producers of the west should be protected as they have been for twenty years, while the millions ongaged in agricultural pursuits have never been favored with any legislation what eTer.
They are taxed on nearly everything they purchase, and are protocted OH nothing they produce. In view of the protection which has been given the silver king it is not surprising that the farmers demandejl the 9ub-treasury bill, which would enable them to deposit their farm products in government warehouses and receive loans on them at low rates of interest. If one policy is right the other cannot be wrong, and there is more reason on the side of the purchase or the agricultural products, though its absurdity has always prevented it from receiving serious consideration. The silver dollar and the silver certificates aro below par in Canada, and are tho laughing stock of the world. The silver currency, it is true, cannot be demonetized, but it is an evil which should be checkod, and tint promptly. The purchase of sliver should bo stopped, and that should be followed by the re-adjustment of the circulating medium on an honest basip.
Beware of the Mirror When Buying Hats. "Tho mirror is woman's worst enemy," said a Fourth street milliner the other day after a hard day's siege fitting bonnets. "The mirror is fit all times a flatterer. A lady will stand in front of the glass and imagino that a bonnet becomes her and the colors are just the thing to suit her complexion. In many cases it is just the reverse, but there is no use of my saying a word about it, for the reason that the purchaser would think I had some object in view in making the suggestion, and nine times out of ten it would spoil a sale. "—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Words From an Old Adviser. In an old fashioned book of recipes it is written: "A woman's hair should smell only sweeter than her nkin, and her skin only fresher than ber breath. To insure this should be her daily care, for a woman who looks not altogether lovely belies the purpose for which nature created her. Therefore if ye would be ever fresh and dainty in your toilet keep upon your table a bottle rt myrrh with the which to freshen your mouth, a bottloof benzoin to sprinkle in the washing water, aud a bottle of lavender water with which to dampen your hair."

„. SJMPLE HOUSE GpWNS.
Made of Palo Gray Crepon, Adorned TTlth Embroidered Chiffon anl Gibbons.
The house gown is receiving very much attention at present. It is made more elaborate than the wrapper. One of the latest importations is of pale gray crepon. The gown is made with, a yoke, and from the bust to the hem the crepon hangs loose and
full
in
graceful,
MORE ELABORATE THAN WKAPPEHS. ventional plaits. At the back it is tight fitting and has a demitrain. Over the shoulders the crepon has a Anted appearance and spreads out to form epaulets. They are trimmed, and tho yoke is defined with a band of pale bine embroidered chiffon over a foundation of pink ribbon. From beneath the epaulet the sleeve emerges in a huge puff which ends at the elbow, finished with a deep, full flounce of Venetian lace. The collar is made of a band of pink ribbon veiled with the bine chiffon.
Another fascinatingly simple house gown is now made in the empire style of robin red, silk warp cashmere. The material is shirred onto the tiniest of yokes and hangs very straight, occasionally falling into the lines of a plait. At the back is a watteau plait. Over the bust are crossed black velvet ribbons, which tie in a butterfly bow in the center. The epaulet, which never fails to appear, is not very conspicuous in tjhis gown. It falls just a trifle over fhe shoulder. It is made of the cashnjpre very full, and its fluted edge is defined with black ^lvet ribbon. The sleeve is full above the elbow and tapers toward tho wrist, where it is finished with a band of velvet.
Green Veils.
Grass green veils are the latest novelty in this line of goods and are rapidly faking the place of the dotted purple v'feils which were worn so much during the past season. The green veils, howeyer, are not apt to be worn by the majaRty of women, for, like the purple ones, fchey are exceedingly trying to the complexion. If a woman has a fair, clear complexion, she can wear one becomingly. The fine embroidered veils are very dainty and pretty. These come in delicate shades of brown, pale blue, violet and gray, embroidered in white silk.
A Homemade Contrivance.
The advantage of a toilet table with its basin sunk below the top is recognized by every one who has ever known the convenience which it brings. The ready made stands are, however, costly and so beyond the reach of many who fully realize their value, but the simple contrivance shown in the illustration can be obtained by every householder who is willing to undertake the small amount of work involved.
&
TOILET STAND.
Purchase an ordinary pine table 3 feet in length. Then have cut in the center a circular space in which your basin will exactly fit. Paint the top with ivory white enamel paint of the sort manufactured expressly for the insides of bathtubs and hang a curtain around three of the sides. Select a brass rod about onequarter of an inch thick and bend it to fit the corners. Then make fast the two ends with screw eyes, and in ordar to prevent slipping bend each downward for the distance of one inch. In the center of the long side and at each corner screw fast additional hooks to prevent all danger of sagging, and hang the curtain to the rod with small brass rings. When it is complete, you will have a most successful toilet stand and an additional closet as well.
An excellent way to restore the brightness of tarnished brass is to dissolve in a saucer of ammonia a little of any of the scouring soaps sold. Apply with a toothbrush and polish with a bit of chamois.

A Story of a Cat.
A good cat story comes from Bombay. In Augusta Liverpool resident proceeding tc Bombay took out with him a cat, which he intended to present to a friend in India. Some days after the arrival of the steamer in Bombay pussy was missed, and though she was searched for high and low she was nowhere to be found. Her owner had quite given her up for lost, when he received intelligence from England that the cat had made her appearance at her old Liverpool home on Oct. 25 as calm and collected as though a trip to India and back was quite in the ordinary course of her life. The facts are vouched for, and there is no reason to doubt their substantial accuracy, but it is not made clear whether the cat was not stowed away in the steamer in which she went out to India and carried back in the ordinary course. Under any circumstances her adventures are, however, sufficiently remarkable to deserve recording.—Yorkshire (England) Press.
The Manly Boy.
The manly, energetic boy is the one who asserts his right to be in the world and who promises to be of still greater service when maturity has ripened his faculties to their fullness and strengthened his mental and physical powers. Such a boy is the hope of the future, and he justifies that hope. He may not be an immature intellectual marvel, and it is far better that he is not, for these youthful phenomenons are usually a disappointment as they grow older, failing to realize the high anticipations they have aroused, and often, like too early ripening fruit, as quickly and unseasonably going to decay.—New
