TERRE HAUTE. IND., OCT. 28, 1893.

'The Mail's new story, "Out of the Jaws of Death," is by Frank Barrett, a writer of great force, whose "Woman with the Iron Bracelets" made such a hit. The new story is of high, pur© tone, dramatic and intensely interesting, and will please oar readers. The first installment will be printed next week* J'-

NEXT MONIH'S ELEG1IOSS. Probably never before have state elections in what is popularly known as an /•& "off year" had as much importance at-4,-m tached to them as those of next month.

Especially is this true of the selections In 5 Iowa, Ohio and New York, and in each of these states the two leading parties are putting forth superhuman efforts to win.

Naturally, more general Interest attaches to the Ohio election, for on the result there probably hangs the election of one presidential candidate in 1896, and possibly two. There the question of protection or free trade is being made the paramount issue, and these theories arebelng discussed by possibly the best known advocates of each. Each candidate is drawing large orowds, although

McKinley is having the best of it in this

respect. When voters are not prosperous, they naturally oharge their condi-

tion to the party in power, whether

V, justly or unjustly, and when they have I time to hear politioal speeohes under such circumstances, they go to tb$

J,. speaker who takes their view of the case. This adds much to MoKinley's winning /l/ personality in drawing crowds, and he argues so eloquently the cause be represents that his re-eleotion may be con-

fidently looked for, by perhaps an increased majority. In Iowa, the new attitude of the Republican party on the prohibition qu$stion atlraots much attention, aside from the personality of the opposing caudi--dates, Governor Boies is a candidate

!*•*. 'or re-election, his third term, if success* V'-' 'while opposing him is Frank Jack-

:i

3S%

'•son, two terms secretary of state, and

the

representative of the younger and progressive element of the Republican

party in Iowa. In his younger days, Jackson made the mistake of over.v oharging a pensioner for his services in securing a pension, and although since then he has twice been a successful candtdate before the people, this record 1b beiug used against him for all it Is •worth. Boies is unquestionably a strong man before the people of Iowa, and with the Republioau party in a factional fight & over the prohibition question—as it seems always to be in Iowa—its large majority for Harrison last year is likely to be disturbed, though a most aggresslve fight is being made, with Jackson leading it bravely.

In New York a most peouliar condition of affairs exist. The New York eWorld, the most virulent of all Demo•oratto newspapers of the metropolis, and

Harper's Weekly, the organ of the sov«alled "good element," are united in opposing Isaac H. Maynard, the Democratic candidate for ohief justice of the court of appeals, while the state bar association and many Democratic papers throughout the state—many of them of national reputation—are enlisted against him as well. Maynard, while deputy attorney general of the state, deliberately stole the reports of the election inspectors by which the Democrats were enabled to gain control of the state sen ate, and thus of the legislature, thereby sending David B. Hill aud "Ed" Murphy to the United States senate to succeed Frank Hiscock and William M.

Evarts. A committee of the State Bar association Investigated this* charge against Maynard, and although many of the committee were of his own political faith, the report as to his guilt was severe and scorching, probably the most ringing indictment ever made against the honesty and uprightness of a man who asked for preferment to the highest injudicial position In the power of his people. It Is openly charged by the

New York World, as well as by the Weekly, that Maynard's nomination was the result of a corrupt bargain with Hill, Croker and other bosses of the vast politioal machine that controls New York, to pay him for the services by which his party has profited so much. 'The Weekly goes further, and condemns the other candidates on the Democratic 'ticket for accepting the places as apart of this bargain, and advocates their defeat as a rebuke to such methods. It remains to be seen whether the people of New York state will submit to the ^domination of Tammany, which controls the city, as 1". now seeks to control the slate. This la one of the most interesting questions to be decided by the election in the Empire state. The matter is certainly being thoroughly disouwwxl, and whatever the resnlt may be, the people will have only themselves to vfclame if this result isn't the right one. ''As said before, there was perhaps ft never before such general interest In the ^atate eleolions, as in tfcoee of Iowa, Ohio

and New York this fall, and newspaper offices will have many anxious visitors while the returns are coming in.

•Senator Hill opened the Democratic campaign in Brooklyn last Monday night, in a speech in which among other things he attacked the traditions of the senate, with which he said he was not profoundly impressed. He defended the right of the majority to legislate, and to make rales to govern its legislation. Probably in American politics there was never an Instance of such a reversal of public opinion regarding a publio man as the past few weeks hfve brought for Senator Hill. His determined stand on the repeal measure, his severe strictures on the clogging of legislation by the in solent minority in the senate, have called public attention to him and aroused public interest in him. As a matter of public record, Mr. Hill's attitude as re gards the policy of his party has been strikingly consistent. During the last campaign in his speeches he advocated action on the silver question before that on the tariff, at which Mr. Cleveland's idolaters set up the cry that Hill was "knifing" the candidate of his party But the first act of Mr. Cleveland looking towards legislation was to call special session of congress to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman law thus vindicating the judgment of Hill and silencing many of the latter's critics Mr. Hill may not be as profound statesman as many who pose as such but he is certainly the most adroit poll tician at present before the public, and he has many attributes that are likely to make him popular with the masses of his party. While he is best known for his strength with the most unscrupulous political organization of the day, as well as the strongest, Tammany, he is personally a man of the most upright character, free from all bad habits, and a man, it is said, who never forgets a friend or a favor. We will doubtless hear more of Mr. Hill during the next few years than was expected of him, after the fiasco the New York delegation made in attempting to nominate him at Chicago last year. Let us hope that should he be successful in attaining the leadership of his party, he will not be made a subject of the hero-worship and adulation that have marked the success of Mr. Cleveland.

That there is a healthy growth of sentiment in the south against mob violence is Bhown by the finding of the. Roanoke, Va., grand jury that has been investigating the riot there last month. The Mayor who oalled out the militia to protect the prisoner was at that time compelled to leave the place, but the grand jury commends him for his stand, and returns indictments against the officers and others who were parties to the subsequent lynching of the negro. About the time the Southern grand jury wks making the returns, a mob composed of the most "respectable" ladies of Osceola, Nebraska, were engaged in cowhldingand otherwise maltreating several young women of that plaoe, whose ohastity has been in question. To make this orime more heinous, the members of the mob are high in the councils of the W. C. T. U., of their place, and their action is approved by that organization. They must have a queer standard of respectability in that locality, when socalled "Christians" can applaud a crime worse many times than any Southern outrage yet reported. The victims in this case Were merely talked about, but now their reputations are gone forever and they were better dead. The spectacle of a mob of northern ladies, so-called, engaged in an affair of this kind is enough to muzzle the northern press that has been repeatedly demanding punishment of Southern orlmes. Reform, like charity, should begin at home, and it Is needed badly in Nebraska.

It is an old saying that "there is honor among thieves," but Superintendent Byrnes, of New York, who has a national reputation as a thief-catcher, says it is not true. After spending fourteen hours out of every twenty-four in their society for many years, he says he has never found any honor among them. He says he never meta thief or scoundrel in his life who would not tell him all he knew if it could be shown that it was to his interest to do so, or if he wanted to punish some other thief that be could be made to think had gone back on him. He adds, too, that ordinary criminals area small-brained lot, and a man who has shrewdness, knowledge of them, and determination, can get pretty much what he pleases out of them. And the experience of Supt. Byrnes is doubtless the experience of every one who has been brought In contact wish a olass of people whose honor has become proverbial.

WHAT a sad and inglorious ending to a life bright with promise was that of Rev. W, F. Pettlt, In the state's prison north last Friday night. Only the day before the State Supreme oourt had granted him a new trial in the ftunous case in which he was charged with having poisoned his wife, and on the next

j' v'

day he was to have been taken to Crawfordsville for trial. Bat he was in the last stages of consumption, and death deprived him of the opportunity to ag«in attempt to prove the innocence he so strongly maintained. Prominent at one time in his church, indentlfied with many secret societies, and popular with his people, he ended his life a convict in* a convict's cell. Truly, our lives are what we make them,, whether it^be^for good or evil.

A Kansas railroad has taken steps to prevent rear end collisions that might well be copied by others. An additional man has been added to each train crew, whose duty it is to act as rear flagman on every train. He is not to leaye his post under any circumstances until relieved. It is expected that these precautions will prevent the numerous rearend collisions, but as the most deadly of the recent accidents was the result of front end meeting, it is in order to sug gest some remedy for such casualities A little criminal procedure would doubtless answer the purpose.

A general boycott is on among the beer drivers of St Louis, and against the several breweries that have discharged them for refusing to withdraw a longstanding boycott from some smaller breweries owned, by the synt^c^fe controlling the St. Louis output of, beer* The drivers in their wild talk abefat the' means they will adopt to win, even go so far as to threaten to stop drinking beer altogether. The brewers cannot conceive of anything so, .remote as that, and are safely indulging in the ,"horse laugh," whatever that many be.

"Love levels all ranks," as we are told in Pinafore, and it wipes out all distinctions, as is shown by the fact' that Vice President Stevenson's son, and his private secretary, is to wed the daughter of the leading Republican editor of Central Illinois, a young lady whose mother's father was one of the founders of the Republican party. The ,marriage contract will doubtless provide that the tariff and silver and the election bill are to be tabooed subjfttyts on the bridal tour. -j i'it-

This right of the majority to rule has been finally accepted by the obstructionists In the senate and the repeal bill is to come to a vote at once. T1& proposal to compromise was rejected by the president, and after the silver senators have finished their speeohes a vote will be taken. The unqualified condemnation of the senate, or the "obstructing minority, by the public, has no doubt had much to do with the decision to permit a vote, and common sedse will again be allowed to govern that august body.
