THB Illinois governor, Altgeld,

to have a soft place in his heart for the convicted and criminal classes. At the present pace he is making in releasing them he will, at the end of his four years term, have granted 700 pardons and emptied one of the State's prisons. This is not an enviable record, and it falls short of the approval of the sensible people of his state.

There never was Buch an epidemic of railroad horrors as daring the past few months, as a result of the World's Pair travel. Yesterday an excursion train on the Michigan Central ran into another, at Jackson, Mich., killing some fifteen persons, and injuring many more. It was the oft'told story, the air brakes refused to work at the critical time, and many lives were hurled into eternity to demonstrate this."

AN Iowa Democrat, who is appropriately named Bolter, and is of course advertised as (one of the most prominent workers" in his party, has deserted the Democrats and gone over to the Popnlists in the present campaign. A man who can't attain prominence at any other time can always get his name in the papers as a leader, during a cam]mfgu, by turning his back under the enemy's fire, and advocating views that has always before denounced. Some times they attain prominence and secure jobs under their new allegiance, as in the cases of Secretary Oresham, •Governor Boies and ex-Governor Gray, but more frequently they sink baok into the insignificance they deserve. The people admire a good fighter, no mafter -what hiB faith may be, and take little rstock in twelfth hour repentance—especially in politics.

GOVERNOR Tillman, of South Carolina, in his fight to make the people of his state patronize the legalized dram shops, displays a determination that might be patterned after by some weak-kneed governors. There is some question as to the legality of the law, but until it is deOided to be unconstitutional he is going to enforoe it. Before leaving for the bimetallic oongress at St. Louis las.t week, he went-after tome ^plaoes at the capital that were running contrary to the law, and he went After (hem strong. The places were entered, searched and confiscated. Wagons were employed And the establishment* were stripped of' •everything, including soda water, ginger ale, rloebeer, glasses, crockery, showcases and other fixtures. Even the •doors were unhinged and packed on wagons and sent to the jail. It is prob Able that several thousand dollars worth of fixtures were thus confiscated. And he announce* that the end isn't yet,.s» he proposes to enforce the law If it takes the entire state oonntabulary to do it It is a display of energy in enforcing the law that is quite uncommon among Southern Governors—and Northern ones AS

THK Cincinnati physician, Dr. Amtok, who is said to have discovered a Bute oure for consumption may be looked upon as a benefaoter to the human race, if his remedy possesses all the merits he claims for it. Death statistics for the past two decades show an alarming iworease of this disease, the result no doubt of the high pressure and rapid living that are characteristics of Jlife nowadays, and a remedy that will put a stop to it will rank its discoverer high on the scroll of fame. A number of physicians in different parts of the country who have been investigating and tt sting the new discovery, have had much success with it, and a party of distinguished continental physicians will visit this country soon to make still further investigation of the remedy. Many physicians who are sticklers for the observance of the code of medical ethics find fault with Dr. Amick, for his socalled violation of the code in bringing the merits of his cure before the public In the way he has, bat it matters but little whether the other members of his profession are on his side or not, if he can do what he professes, core a disease that has hitherto been looked upon as incurable, at least in its advanced stages.' Dr, Keeley has been called a violator of the code, and a charlatan, for advertising his gold cure, but he has done a world of good with it, and made a great deal of money out of it—and sure .this offsets anv amount of professional criticism.

The hard times have seriously aflect*d the railroad business, so seriously inaecd that on every hand we hear of reductions in wage®, working force, and consequently in expenses. These reductions call attention to the vast extent of this industry in this country. A recent statement by the Inter-State Commerce Commission shows that on June 30,1892, there were 171,563 miles of railroftd in the United State®, and to

operate the vast-system, 33,163 iocomo-. lives were required, 14215,092 ears, and 821,415 employee, or a ratiov of one railroadfer to every 79 inhabitants, the country over. Daring the year ending the date named, the railroads carried 560,968,211 passengers, and handled 706,555,471 tons of freight, and accidents resulting from this immense traffic caused the death of 2,554 employes and 376 passen gers. Snch a showing as this is a glowing tributetathe industry,- sobriety and watchfulness of the members of the railroad fraternity, who have our lives in their handfc day and night, t&e year round. Recent years have brought wonderful changes in the character and standing of the men connected rtith this industry, until now they number among them the most substantial citizens of every community in which they reside.

THE INDIANAPOLIS ELECTION. The result of the municipal election at Indianapolis causes a complete reversal of the control of the city government. It was a sweeping Republican victory, a change of about 6,000 votes since the election of Snllivan two years ago. 'Under the special charter for that city the mayor appoints the members of the board of public works, the board of public safety, the city controller, the city attorney and the olty engineer. Virtually, the men appointed by the. mayor decide upon all questions affecting expenditure and finance, the police and fire departments and the law. The "Sullivan administration had become closely allied with the Coy element iu his party and the people have said they would not consent to such an alliance. Two years ago Sullivan received 14,320 votes, Herod, (Rep) 11,598 and Bond (Pro) 330, making Sullivan's plurality 2,722. Two years before that Sullivan defeated General John Coburn. On Tuesday the total vote was about 29,000 an increase of nearly 3,000 over two years ago which is about the plurality for Denny, the Republican who had served two terms as mayor immediately preceding Sullivan's fiist election. Cleveland's majority in the city last year was 496. The vote for clerk,' police, judge and the six councilmen at large ran about ex en with that for Denny, Lee Nixon was eleoted clerk over Abrams and Stubbs judge over Buskirk. The change in the -offices took place Thursday. The Republicans also elected enough ward oounoilmen to have an easy working majority. Sim Coy, the Democratic boss, was defeated in the ninth ward.

Chicago day at the World's Fair not only beat the reoord of attendance at any previous exposition but the reoord of any gathering of human beings probably since the beginning of the world, certainly of any 'reoorded in

hiBtory.

The official report of p^id admissions was 718,646. To this mustbe.added 80,000 or 35,000'f red'admissions, so that it is within bopnd* to say that there were 750,000 peifsonT inside the 630 acres of grounds of the White City. The most significant fact of 'the day wan the ab sence of disorder. Everyone was in a good humor and all seemed to be imbued -with the desire- to make a big showing on the "big day" of the Fair. The people took all mishaps and lncpnvenlence in good natiire "everything goes on Chicago dpy," was the, motto. The largest attendance at Paris Was 897,150 and at the Philadelphia Centennial 217,526. On Monday, the 22d anniversary of the Chicago fire, Treasurer Seeburger of the World's Fair corporation, gave

It was a fitting day to do so, as it emphasized. the anniversary of the fire, from which the Chioago of to-day has arisen. On Tuesday the attendance- wai" 308.000. The traffic association has fixed the rate from Oct. 15th at 1 oent a mile and the Fair has set the prioe for children under fourteen at 10 cents.

Preparations are already being made for the entertainment of the delegates to the state convention of the Young People's Society for Christian Endeavor, whioh will be held here in the latter part of next month. At Ft. Wayne last year there were about two thousand delegates, but not many more than half that number will be here, owing to a change in the plan of representation as well as In the manner of entertainment. Until this year Indiana has been an exception, because the delegates had no board bill to pay while in the city where the convention was held. Hereafter each delegate will be required to pay fl a day, even if stopping at the house of a citizen, the latter being at liberty to donate the money to any benevolence if he does not choose to keep it. After the first canvas of the city it was learned that there would be a shortage of accommodation, and those who are in charge of this matter were sorely perplexed until the Rev. Mr. Hunter secured a remarkably low rate from Mr. Banr, of the Terre Haute house, for all who could not be cared for in residences.

The good people of Staunton, just over the line in Clay county, on the Tandalta road, are rejoicing because four of the gang of bad young men who have committed burglaries in nearly every store and many of the residences of that place have been sent to the penitentiary on pleas of guilty. Five more are in jail wboee cases are yet to be disposed of. One *»f them, Ed Moore, confessed that be and two others placed the rail on the track east of Staunton a year ago to wreck the fast mail. It was thought that some of them bad apart in wrecking the Cincinnati express, west of Staunton, on the night of Sept.

25th last, but this is not credited by de*. tectives engaged on the ease. Joe Har« din, the noted train robber, who was' seriously wounded in the attempt to rob the Illinois Central at Centralia, and who was captured at Cincinnati, was born and raised at Staunton. The three Ring brothers under arrest at Brazil are his cousins. Their father, Al. Ring, is a bartender in this city. The Mrs. Kay, of St. Louis, to whose house Hardin Went when he escaped from Centralia, was the wife of George Bookhout, the Yap. dalia, engineer who was killed in an accident near Vandalia, the same wreok in which Mike ICadden, of the Fair Grounds resort* lost his ear. The com pany made Mrs. Bookhout agent at Seeleyville. While there she married James Lucas, oy whose death she inherited considerable property in and near Staunton, which she yet holds. Afterward she married a man named Kay from about Effingham. He left her and she drifted to St. Louis. When she was at Seeleyville, Hardin, who was then a boy of twelve, and committing, acts that caused him to be sent to the reform scLool, became well acquainted 'with' her. After he escaped from Centralia it was thought that he had gone to the Rings'home, at Staunton, and seven detectives watched the house night and day for several days.

The Rev. Charles Little, known amopg his friends as: •"Charley" Little, vicepresident of Cotftes college, Is a man wdio makes friends with all persons. $e« causeof bis winning personality be tfas ohosen for the task of raising an endowment fund for the college. He is at work in this state, eastern Illinois andl western Ohio, prevailing upon persons of wealth to give to the special cause of education. The mark has been set as high as $100,000 and It may be said in passing that he has been given the promise of a dollar of Terre Haute money for every dollar he receives outside of the city. A gentleman described Mr. Little's characteristics by saying that he would spend the night as a guest in a home, conduct family worship in the morning and leave the house with a check for a round sum of mpney. He was stationed at Danville, 111 before be came here and, of course, was very popular there. The Rev. Dr. Ooultas, late of Centenary church, was in charge of a Methodist church in Danville a few years ago. He says "Charley" Little performed about all the marriage eeremontes and therefore received most of these fees that came in so handily for the preacher man. It didn't make any difference if the couple to be married belonged to "Charley" Little's church or not. They sent for him to tie the knot. "Why," said Dr. Coultas, as he laughingly told of the monopoly, "young couples, members of my own church, would come to my study and ask for the use of the church for the ceremony and then send for 'Charley'
