TERRE HAUTE, IND., SEPT. 23, 1898.

A Missouri Grand Army post has nominated Senator Voorhees as the soldiers' candidate for president in 1896. How times have changed—since the war!

There are twelve breeder* of fast trotters in the present congress, bat with ail this added experience in the way of producing speed, that body is making very poor time.

-The President has appointed Williad B. Hornblower, of New York, associate Justice of the Supreme court, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Jnstice Blatchford. He is said to possess great ability as a jurist, and despite his name has never beep active in politics,.

AT Chicago last week, Allx cut ihe record of the world for trotters to 2:07% but wo speak strictly by the board when we say that next week this wonderful record will be smashed to smithereens on the otjly 2:0-1 track on earth. We would that every reader of The Mail in this vicinity could be here to see it done.

ThkNow York bankers are^ehi£r#ing Senator Voorhees with insincerity in his efforts to securo the passage

the

"repeal bill by the Senate. This made the Tall Sycamore very wratby, and In a personal explanation to the Senate he cast back their imputations "with scorn and immeasurable contempt,!' adding "that kind of criticism comes from class whom tho Savior of the world never spoke of with respect, nor do I." The

Senator should not lose his temper in the present crisis.

This house committee on ways and means is grinding away on the proposed now tariff schedule, and one of the representatives of protected Interests be fore it recently, was Jackson Landers a prominent Indianapolis Democrat, who made a strong plea for the reten tion of the duty on encaustic tile, in the imanufacture of which be is largely in teres ted. When it comes to making new tariff rates, they will out Demoorats as well as Republicans, and it Is greatly to be doubted whether this free trade congress will be able to carry out the promisot of the theorists who made the free trade plank and advocated it so violently. We prophecy not. c/^

Thr Cherokee strip was opened last Saturday noon, and every claim was taken up in an inoredibly short time. In faot, there wore ten men to overy olalm, and the unsuccessful ones are leaving as rapidly an they went, and many of thorn who left their homes filled with hope are returning, minus their money, and noro with disappoint ment. The town of Perry was built almost in a day, and now boasts of a bank, three dally and four weekly papers, and nearly every branch of business is represented. Before the wintorls past doubtless many of those who were successful in the mad rush for claims will wish themselves back in their old homes, whero, if land is not so cheap, its ownership will not threaten theui with starvation.

Thk centenulal auuiversary of the laying of tho cornerstone of the Capitol, at Washington, was celebrated on Monday. One hundred years ago that day, George Washington, as grand master of the Masonic grand lodge of Virginia, laid the corner stone of a Capitol building, whose stability he linked with that of the government his efforts and sacrl* floes had done so much to establish. The

nCS

wise men of his day doubted its completion on the grand scale he contemplated, bat they were wrong. That building, after having been partially de-* stroyed by the British In 1814, rebuilt anti enlarged, stands to-day the grandest building on the continent and one of the most imposing in all the world—an enduring monument to the faith and patriotism of those whose efforts made onr existence as freemen possible. It «as eminently appropriate that a descendant of the famous revolutionary statesmen and patriot, Patrick Henry, should be the orator of the day. This was William Hirt Henry, of Virginia, who displayed a measure of the eloquence that made his ancestor famous. His peroration was striking: "As the two cberubims with out-stretched wings covered and guarded the holy oracle in which was deposited the Ark of the Covenant, so may virtue and iateliigence guard and protect our constitution in which has been deposited the priceless jewel of liberty, as it is transmitted from generation to generation till time shall end." To which we may all say Amen!

As they sow, so shall they reap. The farmers of Kansas are in a serious predicament as a result of eastern capitalists refusing to renew mortgages on the farm property of that state. They insist on the mortgages being paid off, and say the refusal to ren'ew th^m is caused by the legislation of the »tate under Populist rule, and the antagonize feeling to captital in general. It will be many years before the Sunflower state recovers from the blight cast upon it by the assinine crew that has controlled its affairs recently. They were warned of the disasters that would follow their attacks on capital, but they persisted in their fool-hardy coarse, arid haye only themselves to blame. If only those persons suffered who were parties to the work it would not be so bad, but like old dog Tray, the innocent will (sutler along with the others.

Brnce and Henry, the Buckeye Cash Store burglars, and Dix and Artz, who are alsy charged with burglary, made a desperate attempt to escape from jail last Saturday night, by sawing through theoage in which they were confined. Theeflort was frustrated through "Kid Gerard and Joe Roth, fellow prisoners. Mrs* Mary Lockard, a sister of Charles Dix, was arrested for having furnished the saws with whioh the work was done, and on trial in the Circuit Court she was found guilty and sentenced to three months in jail and fined $50. There was a little scene when the jury brought in its verdict,!'. W. Harper, Mrs. Lockard's attorney, pronouncing it the most infamous he had ever known. Judge Taylor promptly ordered him to sit down under penalty of a fine. A motion will be made for anew trial.

REMEMBER NANCY HANKS' DAY, Thursday, September 28th.

THIS special session is to be made still further exciting by an attempt to repeal all the federal election laws, by which congress has been enabled to provide measures to regulate the election of its own members. The president is said to be opposed to this measure at the present time, but the effort is being made just the sfeme, although the Republicans are united in vigorous opposition to it. The effort to repeal the measure, is the cropping out of the old State's right principle of the party in power, which was so forcibly advocated in the defeat of the memorable "force" bill. That the law will be repealed seems quite likely. That it ought to be repealed, is not quite so clear. That there would be no need of it if all elections were honest- Wednesday evening of typhoid fever.

ly conducted is a self-evident fact. Its consideration now, when the country is looking for higher legislation for the general good, is a display of partisan ship that deserves condemnation.
