A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The appointments and disappointments wbich are coincident with a change in the administration always cause more or less trouble ior those who make the distribution of the spoils of office. The distinguishing feature of the tales of woe being heard now that the internal revenue places have been filled, is the large number of faithful followers of the Democratic party who claim to have been led to believe that they would be provided for. Before Senator Voorhees left for Washington Wednesday he said to a friend that be never before went through a seige of office seekers, such as he had experienced on his visit home. "Every man who takes me by the hand," said he, "insists that he has had a pledge of some sort from me." Collector Jump says he bad more than 400 applications lor the thirty-two places in the district. Twenty six cr twenty seven of the positions require the persons filling them to reside In Terre Haute. He is yet to name the persons to fill three or four places. It Is very generally understood that Miss Lucy Brokaw, daughter of Mr. Charles Brokaw, will succeed Miss Laura Richardson inoneof theofficeclerkships.

The anti-Lamb people, that is the old, original "kickers" are rejoicing now. They are happy in being able to say to the recruits to their ranks: "I told you so." Democrats who did not believe the assertions of the kickers that Lamb's rule was purely a selfish one are no# said to be making the admission that they themselves had been wrong. Of course this condition of things has a deoidedly exhllerating effect on the Republicans who hope to make a olean sweep of all the elective offices next year.

A well known citizen made the remark a few days ago that be doubted the statements to the effect that there were many more parsons out of employment at this time than wera unemployed a year ago. He said that had he gone to the meeting at the counoll chamber the other night be might have said something that would have been unpleasant to those who have taken the Initiative in the charity movement. He thought that it would have been wise to hold the first meeting for the purpose of ascertaining just how much distress did exist In the city. But, the meeting was called and proceeded upon the assump* tion, and the gentlemen was persistent In declaring it to be simply an assumption, that there was a vast amount of misery, calling for extraordlnaty relief efforts. It was his opinion that perhaps there might be comparatively a few more persons out of work than usual, but not many. There always was, and always will be, Idle men, said he, and the first step that ought to have been taken was to get some facts. The strong probability is that this gentleman, who is a stickler for facts, is wrong'because there Is muoh anthentic information bearing out the truth of the apparent situation. There la something radically wrong when there are such lnoldents as that of the man Who forcibly took a sack of flower from a groceryman and afterward apologized for doing so, sayltig his family was starving. Or that of another man who stole a pleco meat from a butcher and at whose home a few minutes later the children were found eating the raw flesh like so many ravenous animals. It Is a disgrace to any community that such scenes are enacted.

There Is a little by-play in regard to the Terre Haute Brewing company's gift of 2,000 loaves of bread eaoh week to the poor. The good people who believe that too muoh bread money is spent for beer

#t first did not take kindly to the offer but the charity society is issuing the orders, just the same. At the Opera hou&e meeting Sunday night the brewery's donation was referred to as from an "establishment." This, and nothlug more definite In designating the source of the offering. The brewery people say they did not intend the gift as an advertisement but that it Is turning out to be the boat one they ever had. And, say they, chiefly so because of the reluctance of some people to have the brewery take part in relieving the wants of the poor and hungry.

December, the last ember of tiie dying ye»r, came with a blintard and the sidewalks were made treacherous with a thiu coating of Ice.

The attendance at the sixth annual

state convention of the Y. P. S. C. E. is better than expected ten days ago. There is a lively contest for the convention place next year. Evansville,

The oases against John S. Beach were called in the Circuit court on Tuesday, but as the state was not ready for trial they were continued. The legal fight In these cases promises to be very exciting, and It is said the defense relies on establishing the unconstitutionality of the act nnder which the indictments were returned.

Indianapolis had the convention several years in succession until three or four years ago, and Evansville had it two years ago. There is, as usual, a feeling of opposition to Indianapolis and Muncle seems to toe a favorite. The strongest attraction of the convention will be the appearance of "Father Endeavor" Clark, at the opera house tomorrow afternoon and evening, when he will talk about his trip around the woital in behalf of the society which he organized down in Massachusetts thirteen years ago. ,11
