A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

IMAN ABOUT TOWN.

Tbe appointment of Judge Jump as revenue collector has come finally, and tbe hundreds of applicants for places are getting in their work fighting for the plums of which be ha* the disposal. It is well understood among the knowing ones that Reuben Butz is to have the place of deputy held for so long by Herbert Madison, and it is almost as well understood that 8. C. Scott is to have Frank Hensley's job. It has been said that no promises have been made for the different places as gangers, storekeepers, clerks, etc., but those who are in a position to know assert that the men for the various places are not only known to the revenue collector, but that tbpy were selected by the powers to be many moons ago. Right here is where the trouble is to be, and those who fail to secure places will be mighty sore when they realize that the hustling they have been doing the past few days, the promises to "consider" their qualifications and olaims, were all for naughtit was known all the time who' were to get places, and that the promises were merely to let them down easily. And its going to raise a merry muss, too.

*^The faction In tbe Democratic party opposed to Hon. John E. Lamb openly assert, and find many believers, that Mr. Jump's appointment is made solely to farther Mr. Lamb's candidaoy for congress, and they do not hesitate to say that they will fight him, should he become a candidate, as openly and as bitterly as they did several years ago, when he was beaten in a distriot that had been speoially prepared for him. In fact, the old Jefferson club, more commonly known as the anti-Lamb, or Kicker's club, has already been re-organized for tbe season of 1801, and the men who were prominent in it before will be just as conspicuous next year. They are preparing for the fray vigorously, and remembering the slights put upon them last year, when tbe fight was on for delegates to the conventions to select state delegates to Chicago, they will, if possible, put a little more spirit into the fight. They claim that there are in this distriot fifteen hundred Democrats who will positively refupo to vote for Mr. Lamb, and while these are so scattered that it will be almost an impossibility to control tbe selection of delegates to the congressional convention, it is enough to defeat the candidate of the party. The men who compose this faotlon of the party are, as a rule, those who make no professions to being politicians and are not to be whipped back into line at election time by the fear that their actions will possibly affect their own political prospects in the future. A man who expeots preferment by his party must necessarily stay with his party's ticket, no matter bow distasteful some of the candidates may be. But when he has no aspirations to office, he is free to act as bis better judgment dictates, and this, as a rule, Is the position occupied by a majority of the element, in his party opposed to Mr. Lamb, and who object, as they say, to him playing the part of dlotator of the Democratic party in western Indiana. These men, alm6st without exoeption, were the staunohest frionds the president had in this region Inst year, when Senator Voorhees, Mr. Lamb, and those associated with them, were fighting openly against him. The Cleveland people were Brookshlre people, then, too, and It was thought that these facts would have a bearing ou the collectorshlp. And they did—but not in the way that wa« expected. Mr. Brookshire gets nothing for his staunch adherence to the Cleveland interests, while Mr. Lamb's people get everything. No -doubt some of Mr. Cleveland's admirers, deep down in the innermost recesses of their hearts, are wondering whether or not the president is as great a man as they proclaimed him to be some eighteen months ago, when Mr. Lamb's contingent were abusing him, and praising Hill and Gray.

Tbey know that Mr. Cleveland is folly aware of the situation here in Terra Haute, for they have been to the trouble of informing him. The Gssette, it is well known, has no love for Crawford Fairbanks, and it is said to be a fact that a letter went direct to Mr. Cleveland from the editorial room of that paper, protesting in the most vigorous terms against the appointment of Judge Jump. Those who claim to be familiar with the contents of this letter, assert that Mr. Fairbanks was condemned severely^ charged with any amount of corrupt practices, and after referring to Mr. Jump MI a "tool" of Mr. Fairbanks, it wound up with the declaration that "as far as the effect Is concerned, Mr. Fairbanks might as well be appointed revenue collector as Judge Jump." If this feeling is to be nurtured by the opposition to Senator Voorhee*, Mr. Lamb and Judge lump, we may look for some warm lime* this coming campaign.

Interest

FISBECK'S

And Mr. Lamb, as is well known, is not the kind to lay his hand down without* a struggle. He is a fighter, and can say as many bitter things of his opponents— especially when they happen to belong to his own party—as they can venture on saying against him. Hence, we may look for. fun. ..

Two things strike me about Judge Jump's appointment that are worthy of note. One is, that under him more lerre Haute people will have jobs with Uncle Sam than during the past four years. The other is, that about the only way Congressman Brookshlre can get even with Senator Voorhees for the affront put on him is to have the legislature strike the "Voorhees" out of his name.

It's almost a sure thing that Brookshire can't be renominated next year, and if the fight sure to develop against Mr. Lamb should make it inadvisable to nominate him, it is understood that Col. Wm. B. McLean is willipg to sacrifice himself on the altar Qf duty, and lead his brethren out of the wilderness. He does not Care for it, except to prevent the eleotion of a Republican as a result of tbe split in the party.

Have ydu noticed how careful the Gazette has been to say nothing in behalf of Judge Jump, either as to his personality or qualifications for the office to which he has been appointed, and with with what avidity it republishes the Indianapolis Journal's speolals giving the real facts In the case?

NEWS OF THE CITY.

forcibly entering the opera house some time ago, madfc a report Monday night completely exonerating him of all blame in the matter. The Express, which first published the news of the affair, gives the report of the lodge action in approving tbe committee's report,?"'but adds: "The Express does not believe that the finding of the committee will alter in the least the belief in this community that David N. Taylor was guilty of most of-tbe acts Bet down against him when he made forcible entrance into the opera house."

Last Saturday afternoon tbe grand jury returned eleven indictments against John S. Beach, in the Prairie City bank case, the indictments being found under tbe act of 1891, making it a felony for a banker to receive deposits, knowing his institution to be Insolvent, of which the test is its failure within thirty days after receiving a deposit. Mr. Beach was arrested in his office. the Beach block, where be was evidently awaiting the process of law, and gave, bond in the sum of #11,000, with John G. Williams as security. The casehaa'been set for the 27th inst. The defense, it is understood, will contest the constitutionality of the law under which the indictments were returned, and the oase will probably drag through the courts for jnany weary months to come. Meanwhile, the depositors will endeavor to cultivate the habit of smiling and looking pleasant. ... -.

The Society for Organized Charity held its annual meeting and elected offioers Thursday afternoon. The following offioers were eleoted: President, S. B. Davis vice president, L.,P.

Action was also taken for the organization of a* relief-giving society, with the object of caring for the destitute during the coming winter. Rev. R. V. Hunter, Rabbi Lyons and Mayor Ross were appointed as a committee to confer with C. C. Oakey, who originated the plan on which it is proposed to act. This is to appoint charitable committes in each of the different churches aud benevolent societies with a central committee that will meet regularly and report all cases of destitution to the sooieties. This will simplify the work, and enable it to be done systematically. This work deserves to meet the oordial approval of every citizen, for it is quite likely that more deserving people will be in distress in this city this winter than ever before in its history.
