TERRE HAUTE JUNE 3, 1893

A STRIKING example of how extremes meet is to be found in the fact that the Chicago saloons are with the church people in their endeayor to close the fair gates on Sunday.

THE Marion county coroner got in nearly sixty days work in May, which night be called padding time, by those who are compelled to foot the bill.

THE General Assembly of the Presbyterian church has nustained its time honored hades and Dr. Briggs must go but in going the reverend gentleman will take with him the progressive element of the church.

GEN. JAMES B. WKAVBR got his mouth in shape again the other day and de clared that the Populists will sweep the country in 1896. This is the same pre diction which the Goneral has been making quadrennially since 1880. His cheerfulness under adverse circumstance** entitles him to the sobriquet of the Mark Taplev of modern politics.

HON JOHN C. NEW has the distinction of being the only American oltfzen who has ever felt ca1led upon speak in derogatory terms of the greatest states man of modern times, Hon. W. E. Gladstone. The notoriety which such utterances bring is similar to that achieved by a scriptural character named BaaMm on a certain numerous occasion.

IN forty-four of the sixty-three reve nue districts of the country 5451 Chinese have registered In compliance with the Geary law. Of these 1500 are In the Colorado district. Evidently it is the intention of John to remain as long as possible, and as there is no money in toe treasury available for his shipment home his departure has been Indefinitely postponed.

THK White Htar line of ocean greyhounds is to be reinforced by a new steamer eight hundred feet In length, which will be the longest vessel afloat, and her projectors also calculate that she will be tho speediest. Several of the trans atlantlo companies now baveships which rival In spaed the express trains, and they bid fair to excel the time attained on land.

THK Sunday attendance at the World's Fair was In tho neighborhood of 1/00,000, and during the day business was so dull with saloons that many of them looked tholr doors. Previous to the Sunday opening the largost attendance was on the tlr*t day, when It reached about 125,000, and the average has been 41,000, per day. The crowd which took advantage of the open fair Inst Sunday was certainly largo enough to convince the most skeptical that the great majority favor Sunday opening.

TIIICHK are no more consulships for Indlanlans. The word was sent out from Washington this week, and that settles it. However, it Is barely possible that the many hooslers who want consulships and have not been supplied •ould be Induced to accept federal positions at home. *Vhlle it Is true that many of thorn want to go abroad for their health It must be borne In mind that with all of them money Is the primary consideration.

THK national commission connected with tho Columbian Exposition Is considering claims aggregating |700,000 for goods stolen. During tho Paris Exposition tho entire claims for losses by exhibitors was 175,000. but It must be borne In ml ml that Onicago doesn't do anything on as small a scale as Paris, and as they have evidently organised a gang for revenue only their claims will cease when they reach th« limit of their cheek, which wont be In this world.

IT is really astonishing to note the difference in the conduct of the office seekers and the office-holder, before and after. He bows aud scrapes until one would think his head and feet would drop off fro it too frequent oscillation. He knows everybody and some people that don't know him. That was before his Induction into office. Afterward his neck and limbs become rigid, he carries his head among the clouds and doesn't know anybody but his wife and other pretty women. The flexibility of the candidate and the rigidity of the officeholder Illustrates rery beautifully the depth of friendship for the people by the professional politician.

THK Indiana patriots are perfectly willing to All all the positions in this or any other country which are within the gl ft of the president. A Washington special aay* that "It Is estimated there ,un 106 Indiana applications In the State I*partmeot, 1ST In the Interior Depart tnent, thirty-four in the Department, of Juttle* in the Postoffie® Department, forty-five in the Wat Detriment, ,t#v«atem In the Navy D«p*rtm«nt, and one hundred in the Department af

Agriculture The application# for number over three thousand. The bulk of the applications have been tied for fortv day*- 1 the Treasury IV partment Jordo* I* the only m»v torn

Indiana who has received an appointment." When it comes to wanting office the Hoosier Democrat is on deck all the time, and when it comes to getting there he generally manages to bag a fair share of the spoils.

FIVE more buglers are wanted for the Indiana state militia, and those wanting the positions are requested to make application to the bugler of the governor's staff. If the governor can only wait till the close of our postoffice war Terre Haute can famish him with several buglers wbo can blow their horns looder and oftener than any other in the sta'o, but their efficiency might be questioned.

THOMAS TAOGABT, chairman of the Indiana Democratic state central committee, knows a good thing when he sees it, and seeing it his next thought is to possess it. He has. it is said, refused his choice of several good federal appointments, having made up his mind to run for auditor of state next year. At the last session of the legislature this office was made more valuable by the addition of several thousand dollars annually in fees and is now the best paying official position in the state. Evidently Mr. Taggart isn't in politics for pleasure or his health.

THE Pennsylyanla legislature BC^ defeated a bill abolish capital punishment in that state, and in doing so it did exactly right. Experience teaches that prison walls do not always protect society even when the crime is much smaller thanmurder, and it not infre quently happens that a murder under life sentence escapes and repeats his crime. It was General Sherman's opinion that there was no good Indians but dead Indians, and certainly the statement applies to murderers. Execution of murderers will not prevent murder, each murdeeer executed is a murderer deprived ®f the power to commit murder In the future. The Innocent, defenseless and law-abiding portions of the community are better worth preserving than the murderer and unfortunately the one cannot be preserved without increasing danger to the other. When a man commits a cold blooded murder he deserves the halter, and if he was certain of receiving the extreme penalty murders were less frequent. Itis the uncertainty of punishment which causes men to murder and it is the same uncertainty which leads to the lawless execution of men under the relentless orders of Lynch law. In countries where murder is certain to meet with punishment as prescribed by law lynchings are unknown, and are only rostorted to in communities where punishment is the exception and escape the rule.

DID IT EVER STRIKE YOU.

That the gas question is out of sight since the wlndslorm over the postoffice commenced.

That the weather would be all right if it were averaged up, but it doesn't come on the average.

That the trouble with some of our prettiest girls is their consciousness of their good looks.

That when summer comes to stay our fat men will put in most of their time abusing the weather.

That the exploits of the ocean liners and Amercan locomotives are reminders that this is a rapid age.

That the last cold spell made the average mortal remember that there is a vacation time worth living for.

That the young blood who thinkt this dull town doesn't know enough to drop dead when It comes his turn.

That the one-armed lawyer who fell upon SluggerSulilvan neglected agolden opportunity for putting a good job in the coroner's hands.

That there is a Democrat in town who snys that he wants to be appointed deputy colleotor of "eternal" revenue— fact several of them.

That the young men who aat as chair warmers in and around the hotels are tint all regular boarders, and that they are not paid for their services.

That the Terre Haute brand of nerve possessed by the politicians is stronger than the jaw bene of the ass with which Sampson slew the enemy.

That itis easy enough for a man to gain admission to the bar, but It often happens that he fails lo convince the public that he is a lawyer.

That past hopes of the resurrection of last summer's straw hat into present usefulness are as blighted as Senator Hill's chance of political patronage.

That.without a conslence man would be liable to arrest at any time, and that many who profess to have it are frequently in danger of Incarceration.

That the most successful fishermen hereabouts are those who pour a small portion of their bait in the water and then allow the fish to stagger ashore.

That there is altogether too much humbuggery about this thing of trotting out the civil scare-crow every time the administration sees fit to remove an official.

It is not one of the oldest establishments we have, but as it becomes better known its trade steadily increases, while week after week it gains in popularity. Its succe3s is due to the fact that its proprietor, George C. Rossell, knows what the people want, and knowing that he purchases goods which he knows they will buy, and then sells them on such a small margin of profit that they cannot help but sell readily. His stock of house furnishing goods, glassware and tinware is the largest and most complete in the city, and it is offered at prices which cannot be duplicated at whQlesale.
