TERRE HAUTE MAY 20, 1893.

MBXICO is about to purchase two war shipn of the most improved pattern though what she is going to do with them is one of those conundrums which the Lord only holds the key.

THIS country has no less than twenty three hundred breweries which minister to the wants of the thirsty portion of the population which is equal to one for every 26,500 inhabitants, or a sufficiency for all practical purposes.

IT seems that since the senate adjourned Mr. Turpie has been lost in the Bhuffle and no one knows where ho is at. As no reward has been offered for his recovery it is presumed the loss is "of trifling importance.

NOTWITFIHTANDINO the tariff on macaroni no less than 30,000 Italians crowded through our gates last month. Now that the Chinese have been attended to it would be no harm to prohibit a few sons of sunny Italy, for a season at least,

THE Geary act, which has for itsobject the exclusion of tho Chinese from this country, has been sustniued by the Supreme court, and now that it is t« be put in operation its enforcement threatens serious consequences. While the Chinese government wants to beep its subjects at home, it must be admitted that an exclusion act confined to thepeoplo of that country alone is a stigma which caunot help but result in retaliation. The United States linn many subjects in China. The leading churches have many representatives there who hnvo been engaged in missionary work for years, and there are colonies of Americans In nil the large cities of the Celestial Empire. Even if the government doesn't take steps to retaliate it in very likely that the people will make it so disagreeable for Americans that they will be glad to seek refugo at home.

THK "weather wo have beon having this spring has been explained by a Dr. Veoder, of Lyons, N. Y., who has devoted much time and attention to the weather and other kindred phenomena, and who*e reputation as a meteorologist is international. Ho lias advanced a theory to account for tho general disagreoabloncss of the present spring. Dr. Voorier savs that for the present the climate of this portion of the globe has undergone a radical metamorphosis, not •unlike that which might have resulted from tho locality bolng suddenly placed upon a high mountain. We are, in short, suffering from an acate caso of derangement of the isothermal strata, which may last the entire year. The lines of barometrical pressure are variable. They have become doranged, so that the State of New York is now included in a belt of reduced density or compartlvoly rarlllcd air. Tho result is cold nights and mornings, cold winds and hot sunshluo. We are in a mountain climate. Br. Voeder insists that there is no telling when there will be a change for tho bettor of tho isothormal strata, but says it Is his beliof, which Is confirmed by observations of the sun spots, that it will last the entire year.

LAST Saturday John Turley, of Mitchell, this state, shot and killed Louis F. Price, a conductor on the Ohio it Mississippi, whilo tho latter was in the discharge of his duty. There had been bad blood between the parties for a number of years, but the murder was cold-blood-ed and, it is believed, was premeditated. Turley gavo himself up and was placed In jail at Bedford. On Sunday night a crowd of Seymour people took posses sion of a train, went ovor to Bedford and hung Turley without auy undue formality. On the Sunday before the killing of Price a Seymour hotel keeper named Henry Feadler was murdered at his home by Lou Trenck, of Indianapolis, who was taken to Brownstown, twelve miles from Seymour, where he was placed in jail. On Monday night the Seymour crowd captured another train, and vrolng to Brownstown took Trenck from jail and hung him as they hung Turley. The people of that portion of the state have quite a reputation for that kind of work. Commencing with the Kono gang nearly twenty-five years ago they have hung in Crawford, Lawrence, Orange and neighboring counties nearly a down men, and in the same localities the White Cap* have flourished. It is a disgrace that these lynchings should occur in a gr*at state like Indiana, but it Is no less dlagtaceful that they are caused by the inadequacy and uncertainty »f punishment for murder. In ihla state the extreme penalty for murder Is seldom meted out and it is only at rare Intervals th«i the homicide is punished at all. In the Bedford case the magistrate proposed to rele**t Turley on $2,r*0ba which his father was ready to put up in cash, and would have done so had it not been intimated that in such an event he would be the l«adi»S character in hanging h«e. With «««h a travesty on

s,««tlc«

the wonder la lynching* are more nmtteron*.

THE IMMIGRATION LIMIT. The indication* aw that daring next three months more

the

Immigrant*

will land in this country than during the same period of any

year of

its history. Ten thousand of them are booked for Philadelphia alone. Were those who come here confined to the class which makes good citizens' all would be welcome, but it is said that the recent arrivals have in many instances been of the class of which we have already too many. All the European governments are opposed to the era migration of their subjects to any country but those which belong to them, unless the intending emigrant is a pauper, in which event they are perfectly willing that this country should have him. All imigrants however, are not paupers, but of late years too many of them have been dumped on our shores. Another elass which finds its way here is the vicous and criminal, who are always encouraged to seek shelter abroad. Our anarchists and communists are all, or •early all of foreign birth, and the lands of their nativity are glad they are here. The law against criminal and pauper immigration should be enforced, as there is every reason to believe that a yigorous attempt will be made to evade it this season.

One, and the most important, reason why a striot watch should be kept on immigrants this year is the danger of the introduction of cholera by tnem. Had it not been for the rigid quarantine regulations enforced in New York harbor last fall and winter there is no doubt that the scourge would have gained entrance to this country. And there is eyen greater reason to guard against the disease now: With the opening of spring it has again made its appearance in several European countries, and those who would have fled from it six months ago, but could not on account of our strict quarantine regulations, are just as anxious to get away from it now as then. Many of those who are making preparations to come now are from the sections scouged by the plague last year, and it is essential that our immigration and quarantine authorities should not allow themselves to become negligent in the face of the danger which confronts them. Nor should our state and city authorities remain idle everything which can be done to improve sanitary conditions should bedone at once and done well. Peo pie are alive to the importance of this, work and it should not be neglected.

As to the pauper and criminal element which seek shelter here it may be said that the country has all of them with whom it cares to deal. It requires no importations of either from foreign lands. It is to be ragretted that the laws of the country are not more stringent on this subject, but those which exist should be enforced to the letter. The gates should be closed against all undesirable immigration, and the louder this class clamors for admission the more Arm should the authorities bo in refusing it. Those who are in sympathy with the institutions of our country who are industrious and thrifty, and who are willing to work, are always welcome. But those who have become a burdon at home through shiftlessness and inability to work, and those who want to come here because they believe they oan have greater freedom in sowing tho seed or anarchy and confusion are the people who are not wanted here, and should be promptly returned without being allowed to sot foot on American soil.

THEY SAY.

That the letter tvhich never came contained Ben Havens' commission for the Birmingham consulship.

That there will be a great demand for aristocratic baby carriages in town this fall.

That it is bad luolt to start In on any enterprise on Friday, and that's the reason of all the postofflce troublo.

That Torre Haute got a fair share of free advertising over the postofflce muddle.

That Judge James Griffey, of the county at large, has goiod reason to believe that Harry Donham will be removed and that ©rlffey will yet be postmaster. P^KSat Capt. Allen is very reticent about atjubase ball outfit which he received thefjbher day by express.

That since tho bank panic struck this state the deposits of one bank in this city alone has increased nearly $200,000.

That the members of the Patriotic Sons of America in this locality are very backward about coming forward and making themselves known.

That mountain air isn't half as thin as much of the political nonsense which has been indulged in over the postofflce muddle.

That the fruit is all right and the prophet is out of a job.
