THE MA IV HOLIDAY NUMBER. The holiday number of The Mail will be Issued next Saturday, December 1Mb. It will be a perfect specimen of the typographic*! art, and a handsome Illustrated cover, with a numberof extra pages, neatly bound. An extra edition will be issued, making it an unusually excellent medium for holiday advertisers,

THE president's heart is "true to Poll He has re appointed Mr. Hornblower as justice of the Supreme court, and Mr, Hill will have another chance to "get even."

MK. VAN ALBS, who was appointed Ambassador to Italy, has declined tbe position on account of tbe newspaper talk to tbe eflecE that he was given the place on account of his contribution to bis party's campaign fund last year. So far as we know, this is the only thing in Mr. Van Alen's career that commends him to tbe good grace-) of the American peop'e.

Thk new receivers oi the Union Pacific, five in number, evidently place high value on their-ervices. They have petitioned tbe United States court, to allow them salaries of $1,500 each per month, a total of $90,000 a year, or $40, 000 more than was paid tbe officers who transacted tbo business of which they now hav« charge. They think they must have these big salaries, even if the workmen have to be cut down to make it up. And we wonder at crime!

THK people of Maine are about as enthusiastic over the proposed monument to tbe memory of the late James G. ..Blaine as were the New Yorkers over the Grant monument. A movement watt started lust, spring to raise a fund for that purpose, -.nd it was thought that $10,000 or §20,000 could bo raised.

The lirstof this month the treasurer of the Blaine memorial Association reported that $115 in CH*IJ had been raised. The practical people Maine are .evidently not much given to sontiment, and the onthuaiasm the Plumed Knight was -wont to excite in life seems to have been buried with him.

MINISTKM WILI.IH, our Hawaiian minister, who was sent to Honolulu to re place Quean Lilinoukalani on the throne, seems to have found the situation somewhat different from that reported by Mr. Blount, .He certain «ntingenclOH haveurlssn mcsrntng wlnoh neither the government or himself were informed, and therefore tiio provisional government wiii W maintained until the receipt.of furthervice from Washington. The advices 'were sent to him Monday-nlghr. by a messenger, who will arrive there tu about ten days. Every additional faot mad* public concerning the H»VVHUAM affair seems to indicate that some blunder bus been committed, and that, every t'llort Is being made to correct it. _______

THK most important victory ever gained by organized labor Is that in the Lehtgh Valley strike, which was ended on Wednesday. True, it was ended by compromise, but it is a victory for the strikers, against tbe arrogant manager who refused to treat with the strikers, and insisted that theslrikecould only be settled on their part by an absolute surrender. But despite the fact that there aro more unemployed railroad men in tli it region than ever before, tbe railroad Qu iip»ny was tillable to run Its trains without com potent men, and as a result bav-. hau wrecks without number, many liv« have been lost, and the losses in property, business, etc will possibly run into the millions. Aud all, that one u»«t might air his brief authority.

'las president's message, like that of all other presidents, pleases his own party to certain extent, and meets with natch criticism from his opponents. He upholds the Wilson bill, defends civil service, and maintains that the administration policy regarding Hawaii is Just and humane, and from some ex dull ve sources that h« possesses, declares i»iat wholesale and gigantic frauds have keen perpetrated in the granting of pena\ons. He uses six columns to cover these points with many others of lees Importance, and thecrltlclsms that have indulged in by congressmen and •Sators, both in his own party and outside It, inclines one to the belief that »ome of his views will have a rough road to travel during the coming session.

"BAB" says that she woold rather read a railway guide than one of Mr. Howells* books, but the reading public evidently does not agree with her in this estimate of his writings if we are to judge by the demand for them. During the coining year he will be represented regularly in each issue of three of tbe leading mag* alnee, will have occasionalcontributions In four other periodicals, and will issue two new books. From the three m*gatines lu which his work will# appear regularly he will receive $20,000, while.

his occasional articles, stories or' farces bring him 10 cents per word. It is safe to say that his year's work will mean to him an income of not mach short of |30,000. The three magazines for which ho will be a regular writer will give him an audience each month of 700,000, 250,«000 and 150,000 copies respectively, or far more than 1,000,000 of regular readers The gray matter in Mr. Howell's brain will be severely taxed, it would seem, to be able to furnish, entertaining reading for a constituency like this, but while tbe Howells' rage is on beseems determined to coin it into currency.

A NEW political organization whose design is to eradicate Tammany as political factor, has been launched in Stew York City, and starts under the most favorable auspices. Many promin ent men who have long been identified „,witb the Democratic party in that city, are assisting tbe new organization and feel encouraged by the outlook. Last month's election in that state, in Brooklyn, Buffalo, and. New York City, espec lally, convinced them that the people prefer to control their own political or ganizations rather than turn them over to a corrupt ring, whose members con duct politics on a revenue basis solely, It will be a long and severe tight to root out Tammanyism In New York City, but if the wise men of all parties unite In the commendable work, they will win, and the tiger's claws will be removed.

The senior surviving officer of the Confederacy is James Longstreet, for whom a New York firm is now publishing a book. Beauregard was the last of tbe full generals, Xiongstreet beading the list of lieutenant generals. Ho is a very old man now, gray and deaf. He lives quietly and simply at his home in Gainesville, Ga. General S. Grant and Longstreet were army friends before 1861. Longstreet accepted office from Grant when the latter was President, and has since taken no part whatever in local politics. Though for so many years an inactive member of the little community in which his last days are being spent, he is greatly beloved and respected, the townspeople delighting in the honors paid him occasionally by distinguished visitors from all sec tions of the country.

It Is a lot of young men whom we t£re sending to Brazil to fight for Peixoto and on Peixoto's ships. The executive officer of the America, the old "Britannia of Boston," is Thomas O'Halloran, who is the nautical expert In tbe United States hydrograpbic office in New York. Helms signed an agreement by which, it Is said, he will receive $400 a month. He will have charge of the America when she is in action. He is 27 years old, a native of Pennsylvania and a graduate with !gh honors of the naval academy at Annapolis. 0/",

MlsTS Sarah Brown, the only unmarried daughter of John Brown, of Harper's Perry, is visiting her friends in Massachusetts. Her sister, Annie (Mrs, Adams), lives at P6trolit, California, with her children her sister Ruth Thompson and her brother Jason, in Pasadena, while her brother Salmon has migrated from Northern California. John Brown r.,-still resides at Put-iu-Bay Islands, Ohio, and a sister of his father (Mrs. Hand) lives at Wellington, Ohio.

Jerry Rusk, after his term in Congress ended, was tendered by President Garfield tbe mission to P, raguay and Uruguay, the mission to Denmark, and chief of the bureau of printing aud engraving, all of which were declined. When ho was ofiered the UruguayParaguay mission, he spurued it, saying, "Where in is Paraguay? I will go home and run for governor of Wisconsin." Aud he did, and made tbe most popular executive tue state ever had. 'J*-'

Mr. Cleveland's body-guard, who has accompanied tbo President whenever ho has appeared in public since Garter Harrison was shot, is Benjamin T. Rhodes, a detective of the Washing ton police force. He follows the President's carriage on horseback when in Washington and never takes bis eyes from tbe presidential person until he reaches his home or his office.

Caring For Man and Beast.

I saw a pretty instance of thoughtfulness recently. A lady had left her carriage in front of a drug store and gone inside for a glass of soda water. The horses were very restive, and the young negro coachman looked warm and tired. His employer must have noticed this, too, for when she had finished her soda she had another glassful drawn and brought it herself to the car riage. Then, to keep the horses still while the coachman drank, she slipped up by their heads and talked to them the soft nothings which a highly bred horse appro dates as much as does human listener. There would be many worse lots in the world than being that woman's coachman —or even -her horse.—Kate Field's Washington.^

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, DECEMBER 9, 1893.

An Old Bank Kote.

In tha British mnsexxm there is a very old and very rare Chinese bank note. It was issued in the reign of Hung Woo, the founder of the Ning dynasty, who died in 1898. The face value of the note is about *1, but it is one of the only issue of paper currency ever guaranteed by the Chinese government. Only one other similar note is said to be in existence, being in possession of the Oriental society of St. Petersburg.

Its value to native bankers and note collectors all over China is well known. The late governor of Hong-Kong, Sir John Pope Hennessey, bought the note about IS years ago at an auction of the effects of a deceased captain of one of the Chin&e customs cruisers, who had amassed a large collection of Chinese coins and notes, among which was this Ning bank note.— Chambers' Journal.

His Trademark.

A gentleman had one of his carriages so severely scratched while passing the summer at his country place that he was obliged to call on the local carriage painter, who did the work very well, but tripped over the family crestT on the door panel.

He took it to be the little trademark of the man who had done the job before and read the motto thereon inscribed as the name of a foreigner—thought it was some Dutchman,'» he afterward explained.

So he was only doing the right thing, according to his light, when he painted out the other fellow'sand inserted his own cognomen. This story has at least the merit of being perfectly true.—New York Recorder.
