TERKE HAUTE, IND., MARCH 10,1894.

THIS session of congress moet likely will last long enough to produce one or more investigations of congressional integrity.

CONTRARY to the old toper's belief whisky and nugar is a nasty mixture that is when a senator is legislating in his official and speculating in his private capacity on the sugar tax.

A STRIKE was precipitated in an Evansville newspaper office by the foreman enforcing a rule prohibiting profanity during working hours. The men thought it was asking too much to expect them to live in Evansville and not swear.

SOME of the highly-cultured mugwumps from Boston are objecting because the Congressional Record has made thom use bad grammer in some of their speeches. We could excuse the bad grammar, even in a mugwump, if their speeches had any other distinguishing features.

THE Southern Republicans are kicking because the Republican National Committee proposes the adoption of a plan by which tho Southern States will be shorn of some of their power in national conventions. If their kick is no greater in proportion than their popular vote it will not be felt.

THIS country should heave a long sigh of relief. The "lust surviving member of tho Six Hundred" who rode into the jaws of death" at Halakluva, and the "oldest Mason in the United States" both died the past week. They have boon dying :it regular intervals during the past twenty years, and now that they are gone, peace to their ashes!

THE Midwinter Fair I* said to be far more satisfactory than tho World's Fair in the respect that one is not unhappy because ho is constantly impressed with tlm fact that ho will not be abloto seoall of it. Yet there is enough to see to afford a vast amount of pleasure and instruction. Indeed, few persons are aware that it is the largest exhibition ever seen except tho Paris exposition and the unapproachable World's Fair.

No wominr Mr Carnegie (pronounced Car-nagey) cluing'd his tune of so many years paM, and talked in favor of the Wilson bill and its benefits. He was probably li ving to talk the administration out of the tine of 9140,001) imposed on him f"r putting inferior metal in the armor plates fmnishod the government. The fine was imposed, however, and it, would bo interesting to know what he thinks of the Wilson bill now

NEW YORK is asking Chicago tor financial holp to take care of tho poor of the biggest and most provincial city in the country. Rich men in Chicago h»vo received pitiful appeals from the managers of the New York charity and bonevolent societies for aid. It was characteristic of New York where public spirit is sadly lacking. The average New Yorker lives in himself and for himself and he has an inherited belief that a binding obligation rests upon the people of the country at large to contribute to his wealth and comfort and take care of his poor

IT is interesting to read in a newspaper devoted to sweetness and purity in politics that Mr. Uavomeyer, head of the sugar trust, Jsas reached an agreement, with the Senate Finance Committee by which a duty will be placed on sugar, and that "one feature of the agreement is that Mr. Haveiueyer has put bis shoulder to the wheel, and will help to push the tariff bill through the Senate." "Sugar" seems to have beeu used as effectively on the grave and reverend Senators as two-dollar bills were wont to be used on the common "floaters" in a close election. The power of "sugar" is all-potent, even in the halls of Congress, more's the fit.v.

THE appointment of Representative Blanchard as Senator from Louisiana, succeeding Justice WhiU», presents an unusual case, that of a man who bad already voted in the House for the adoption of the Wilson bill, and now will have a chance to do the same in the Senate. He disregarded the pleadings of the Louisiana sugar growers In the House, and voted to put sugar on the free list, but the Senator whose place he a takes was such a determined opponent do* 0^&»e sugar schedule that it was thought lie would vote against the bill unle-ss gug&r was given protection. This is probabSy the first instance on record whor® niiiu had a chance to vote on such important question in both bouses of Congress, and aside from the

ifljiv'

of the question involved it will

irive the new Senator an opportunity of proving his consistency or his lack of it. jf he 1* consistent he will rote against

the bill as reported by the Senate finance committee, for it protects sugar, bat if he does this he will lose his job when the Louisiana legislature meets to elect a Senator. However, "Senatorial courtesy" will probably allow him to now vote for a measure he would not defend in the House. V:

THK Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, who is the P. T. Barnum of the theological world, has succeeded in getting a great deal of free advertising for himself by a threatened resignation as pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, of which he has been the head for many years. It looked for a while as if the church was so deeply in financial distress that it could never get out, and the threatened withdrawal of Talmage was taken by many as a desertion in time of peril. But the trustees by unusual efforts succeeded in securing enough subscriptions to place the church on a good financial footing, and Mr. Talmage has graciously condescended to retain the pastorate. After getting all this free advertising, he announces that he will leave in Jane for a tour of several months in Australia and India, and while his salary goes on and his people are paying large amounts to secure distinguished divines to do his work, he will turn an honest penny or two for T. DeWitt Talmage by writing letters to the newspapers and magazines. The publio likes to be gulled, even in the line of theology.

ALDERMANIC ASPIRANTS

TALK OF THOSE WHO ARE LIKELY TO BE FATHERS-OF THE CITY.

The Pleasant Situation that will Probably

Confront the Next Mayor—A Tie Council -Seme of the Candidates for Office Under the Next Council—Political Gossip.

If the next Mayor of the city of Terre Haute doesn't have a nice job on his hands, that of deciding by his own vote all political questions that may arise in the council during the next two years, it will be because something will up turn between this and the firstTuesday in May that will enable the Democrats to elect six members of the council, or, on the other hand, give the Republicans a chance to name seven members of thatau gust assemblage. Eleven members of the presentcouncil will retire in May. There are but ten wards, but August Ohm was elected by the council to fill the vaeancy caused by the deatLi of Lemuel Stuthardonly until the next general election, and hence the Ninth ward will be called ou to elect two councilmen this spring. Of the ten wards In which councilmen are to be elected, six are looked upon as reasonably Republican, the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, and Tenth, while the others are just as surely Democratic. Tho Republicans have four hold overs, Messrs. Haley, Crawford, Lewis, and Fenner, and the Democrats five, Messrs. Urban, Roach, Wey, Walsh, and Messick. Unless the Republicans can elect a man in one of the Democratic wards, the next council will stand ten Republicans .and ten Democrats—and it follows that the Mayor will not spend the next two years in a bed of roses.

The law that extended the terms of the Mayor, Clerk and Treasurer one yoar from 1893 to 1.SH4, also extended the terms of tho City Engineer, Street Commissioner, City Attorney and Fire Chief to September, 1894, and no matter how the election may result in May the general change in these offices will not take place until September next.

The question of the control of the uext council therefore depends upon the character of the nominees for council in the several Republican wards, for the Democratic wards are so largely Democratic, with one exception possibly, that it is not likely that the majority of that party can be overturned.

Tho First ward elected two Democratic coHncilmen in May, 2892, H. C. Urban, by a majority of 55, and John R. Coffin by a majority of 40. The comparative closeuess in this ward, gives the Republicans there hope that by nominating a strong candidate they may be able to turn tho scale. John R. Coifiu, whose term expires, has been outof thecity, and itis not known whether or not he will be a eaudidate for re-election. If he should be, he will most likely get the nomination. If he should decline that honor, the names of R. A. Tierman, "T0113'" Haringaud Henry Pattare mentioned as among the possibilities. McE. B.Glenn, who was the Republican candidate in 1S92, says very positively that he has had all he wants of ruuning on that ticket in a Democratic ward, and will therefore not be a candidate again. W. O. Guukel is considered by his friends as a very stroag man, aud unless he forbids it his name will-doubtless be presented at the primaries, April 3rd. Among others whose uames are under consider ation are Peter Best, F. C. Fisbeck, Edwin Ellis, Geo. H. Hebb, Wm. Howe,

Wm Sudbrink, and John Ross, although the two last-named declare positively that a four year term as councilman has no attraction for them.

The Second ward is unmistakably Re-

The Third ward went Democratic by 134 in 1892, the last city election, which is evidence that the Republicans have no show there. N. Stein, Jr., who was legislated into being a councilman from the Ninth ward by the redistricting measure, and whose term expires this spiing, may possibly be a candidate for re-election if he isn't a candidate for mayor. Adam Schumaker, the Eleventh street butcher, George Klug and Henry Handick are on the list as possi bilities if Mr. Stein declines to run. The Republicans are not very numerous in that ward, but they are of the ag gressive kind, and say they will have a hustling candidate out who will work just as hard as if there wasn't an overwhelming majority against him. James Van Duzer, Euos Rollins and John L. Wagner have been spoken of in that connection, and either could be relied on to poll his party strength, and thus aid his party's general ticket.

Dr. Young has beeu at the head of the presentcouncil in the effort to improve the sanitary condition of the city, and his constituents in the Fourth ward will be glad to give him a renomination if he will accept it. T.'B. Glazebrook and E. H. Bindley are among those mentioned as his possible opponents. This ward is lowked upon as reliably Republican, but the ward of which it was formerly a very large part had the* reputation of going otherwise quite frequently.

George H&ller will not be the Democratic candidate from the Fifth ward. He has purchased a farm, and at the end of his term will retire to it. Will White, the Second street grocer, "Uncle Billy" Fubr, who once graced the council chamber with his presence as a member from the old Third, and Will Engles are mentioned as available material on the Democratic side, while among the Republicans are J. Q. Button, Charles W. Abbott aud John J. Thomas. The Fifth ward is a Republican ward, al though at the first counciluianic election held after its present formation Mr. Wey was elected by a majority of 20. In the wreck of November, 1892, however, it went Republican, and anything that \Vent Republican then ought to be relied on now.

The Democratic majority in the Sixth ward at the last city election was 138, and it's a brave man who will tackle that. Yet the Republicans think they have a man who can cut that down materially in the person of Frank Bali, the undertaker—providing he'll take the race. Frank Fedderson and James A. Nisbet, the Fourth street undertaker, are also spoken of as strong men to pit against the Democratic candidate, who will doubtless be Wm. O. Weldele, the retiring member, or August Wegener. The latter thought he should have had the nomination two years ago, but as he didn't get it then he will make a more determined effort than before.

In the Seventh ward Joseph B. Fiiqua will no doubt succeed himself, if he wants the nomination, for the ward is Btrongly Republican. There may be other candidates before the primaries, but they are not announced as yet. A Democrat stands about as much show in the Seventh as a Republican in the Third or Sixth, and not many of them are clamoring to get a place in the council. Lewis B. Martin, Andrew Grimes and Mike Lawlor have had their names used as likely candidates, but it is possible that such use was unauthorized.

Awarded Highest Honors—World's Fair.

The Eighth ward belongs in the same list with the Seventh, Republican. Burt Rock wood, whose term expires, is not a candidate in the sense that he is working for it, but he would make the race if given the nomination. Other Republicans referred to in the light of candidates are James Hook, Frank Clift, Chas. A. Melville and "Jeff" Kelley.

publican. Out of a total vote of 618 in 1892, Capt. Haley, the straightout Republican candidate, received 237 votes, Frank Storz, as an independent Republican, 211, and Prof. Ward, Democrat, 170. There never was a councilman who succeeded in getting as much for his ward, The Ninth ward is another Democratic in the way of electric lights, street cross^ Stronghold, and although the senior reings, etc., as that old war horse of the former Sixth, Frank Storz, and when he ran as an independent candidate he drew many votes from both candidates that with a weaker man would have gone to the regular nominee. But in the face of his strong candidacy the ward went Republican, which is considered by politicians as pretty good evidence that it will never go any other way, except it be an upheaval. It is possible that Mr. Storz will be a candidate this year before the Republican primaries, but it is understood that under no circumstances. will he be a candidate unless he gets the regular nomination. Lawrence Heinl, the well-known florist, Henry Oraham, also in the same business, and Peter F. Zorger, a well-known employe of the lower rolling mill, are also talked of as candidates, John Dietz, whose term expires this spring, will be a candidate again on the Democratic ticket. Prof. Wm. Ward is also talked of as one of the possibilities.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, MARCH 10, 1894,

Among the Democrats named as possibilities are James N. Hickman, John Dommershaasen, Frank Schmidt, Jos. Frisz and Cornelius Koll. There is no lack of good material in the ward on either side.

tiriag member, Mr. Asbury, is a Republican, be was elected in the old Fifth ward. Mr. Ohm retires also, he having been selected to £11 the vacancy caused by the death of Lemuel Stuthard. He will be renominated in all probability, and the other Democratic candidate will be either John O'Neil or Patrick Casey. Mr. Asbury is a candidate for re-election, and among others talked of are John Frisz and Abe Markle.

In the Tenth ward Herbert Briggs' term expires, and while he is not thought to be seeking a re-election he is not averse to making the race again. Charles A. Bennet, the well-known B. L. F. official, has also been talked of as a candidate, as have Brice P. Taylor and 'Squire James F. Murphy. Allen Parks is spoken of among the Democrats as their candidate again. Andrew O'Mara, a well known young man, living in the west precinct of the ward, has also been frequently mentioned as a representative of the younger element of the part.

Now that the terms of the council appointees, fire chief, city engineer, city attorney and street commissioner, are fixed at two years, they are made very attractive to aspirants. The city attorney's salary has been raised to $1,200 and the street commissioner's to $1,100, which gives those offices an added interest.

There are quite a number of candidates for city attorney. If the Democrats control the council the present incumbent, Peter M. Foley, will be re elected. He has given a great deal of attention to the office, in a satisfactory manner, and if his party is successful he will be in it. On the other side the candidates are Alvin M. Higgins, James E. Piety, S. M. Reynolds, Geo. E. Pugh and James E. Stunkard.

For city engineer, the present incumbent, Harry Bosler, will be an applicant, and it is said that Geo. R. Grimes will also be a candidate.

There are a few candidates for fire chief among the Republicans, and some of them are conducting a lively campaign already- Among those who are avowedly in the field, are Theodore Goodman Elias Leonard, Walter Bell, John McClellan, who are now on the department, Lawreuce Kretz, Fred Davis aud Mart Hunter, and it is said that J. D. Jones will also be a candidate when the time comes.

W. T. Byers is first in the field as a candidate for street commissioner, but there will doubtless be many others before the primaries.

In the fall of 1892 I had la grippe, which Jeftmeiu a very distressed condition with throat and lungs very sore and a bad cough. Nothing I used did me any good and 1 only grew worse till I was thoroughly discouraged. Fortunately a friend suggested a trial of Grulick's compound syrup of "WHITE PINE, WILD CHERRY AND TiR," and its use soon brought the needed relief.
