A PAPER FOR TVE PEOPLE.
MAN ABOUT TOWN,
Tbe Indianapolis people with their characteristic paroine proclivity seemed to derive more gratiOvation from the fact that Robert J. lowered the Terre Haute track record thau from the fact that a new world's record was made. In the newspaper reports nothing was put to the front more conspicuously than that the "laurel" had been taken from the brow of Terre Haute, whatever that may mean. Of ail the amateurish stuff ever provided for metropolitan newspapers, the Indianapolis race reports take prominence. One of the reporters the other day wxote about two trotters "running a pretty duett." In tbe associated press report of Robert J.'s performance, the first sentence was: "To-uight the flag of honor floats over the track of tbe Indianapolis driving club and the suns of Terre Haute and Ft. Wayne have been eclipsed." Then you haye to read more than a column of swash before you learn how fast the mile was made. The associated press seems to be deteriorating. It was 24 hours behind in its report of the forest fire calamity and this race report is discreditable for a country newspaper.
One of tbe labor day managers said to oie: "The banks can close for the races but not on labor day which is a legal holiday." That is tbe spirit which is growing and which leads to all this fear of socialism.
The olothing, bats and shoes of tbe men in tbe parade labor day showed longer wear than ever before since we have had labor day parades.
There is going to be a very lively time of it at Harrisburg in tbe next two weeks. The biennial convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen will be in session. There will be a fight against the re-election of vice Grand Master Hannah an and Qrand Secretary Arnold. For two years or Itaore the Debs influence in the order has been all powerful and the two officials have been counted as Debs men. Now, the other side, which believes that it has been cowardly in submitting to the dictation of the Debs following, or timidly apprehensive of a "roasting" by the same people, will assert itself. McElroy Glenn, the delegate from this city, is supposed to be after Arnold's scalp and Arnold's friends, central around Crawford Fair•banks, have been making a great pull of various influences in his behalf. If Debs' trial is concluded In his favor in •time it is expected he will appear at JHarrisburg to oppose Billy Hynes, of Denver, who may be secretary or perhaps editor of tbe magazine. It is not thought there will be serious opposition "to the re-election of Sargent.
The Sixth street paving injunction case is set for hearing in Judge McNutt's court next Tuesday. The question is whether the temporary restraining order shall be made permanent. If the judge holds that the contract was let In an Illegal manner it will mean several weeks delay at least in beginning tbe work on this street. Tbe Issues in the case do not cover the dispute between the street railway company And the council and more's the pity. If that controversy is to end In tbe court* tbe sooner the decision of tbe final court is secured the better it will be, so that tbe work of public improvement may be esrrrled on without interruption.
Now is a time when Terre Haute might profit by the services of a commercial club. The one at Indianapolis has rendered timely aid in Just such aflairs as this street paving problem. This has been done without intruding on tbe rights or privileges of tbe law making body of the city. Terre Haute is supposed to have such an organisation but it is unbeared of and virtually useless. What is wanted just now is the assertion of publio spirit and the retirement of personal and corporate selfishness
and a commercial club would afford the
best means of doing this.
Peter Foley has sued the city for his salary as city attorney for four months, covering the Lime of tbe disputed possession of the office. It is taken as a matter of conrse that he will win his suit. Fire Chief Kennedy presented bis
olaim for ~Ue four months p«y at Tuesday night$ meeting of the oonnoil. It was referred to a oommlttee. If the counoil doea not pay him he will bring suit. _______
It will be worth while to watoh closely the prosecution of Ed. Hollo way, the alleged train wrecker. The Big Four's attorneys have charge of the case. If the half witted young man Is not convicted he will have no difficulty in recovering exemplary damages from, the railroad company
Indianapolis is exoited over tbe fear that muoh shoddy work is being done in laying ooncrete sidewalks in thatoity The city let the contract at II and 12 cents a square foot and the contractors who bid higher say the work oan not be done at that prloe the specifications,
We are informed that an "expert chiropodist with a history" which "history" consists of the alleged faot that he was once worth $50,0C9 is in tbe city. He lost $18,000 in a bank failure but whether or not he yet h?» the remaining $32,000 is not stalted. But, though he may have lost all of his wealth we suppose there would be more satisfaction in having a man who once had wealth out your corns and toe nails thau one who had always been poor. s-
A new g.and jury baa begun grinding out Indictments and it is strongly intimated that the record i* to be beaten in respect of the uumber of indiotments that will be returned. Judge Taylor instructed the graud jury especially in regard to immoral placea where the youth of the oity are being led a9tray. The Gazette reports the judge as saying that the grand juries had been successful In driving tfce young element out of saloons but in doing so had forced them into worse resorts, whioh resorts, by the way, do not take out liquor licenses. A couple of nights after the judge delivered these instructions the polioe began raiding the disorderly houses with the usual result of cash contributions in the way of costs to the officials. It might be well so long as these places are tolerated to collect some hundreds of dollars in liquor lioenses which money would be a help to all the people.,
Tbe horsemen who were at Indianapolis brought away with them copi- 1 of the newspapers, except the News, whioh contained the funny reports and are showing them about the places here where people talk horse. Nothing excitti more laughter than the way in which the Indianapolis people swallowed taffy. Doble told them that they "are the people" and that their traok was tbe fastest and John G. Taylor, Joe Patohen's owner, said there was noplace like Indianapolis. Indeed, he ss'd, he could be induced to locate there. He told the reporter that that very day he "had been thinking about it.
If a light harness horse makes the mile in two minutes this year Robert J. will do so against time next week on the Nancy Hanks track. Tljfre is a. strong probability, too, that Joe Patchen, who made the mile in 2:02% when Robert J. went in 2:02K on Thursday, will win at least one heat in the free-for all pace,' from which Robert J. is barred, in 2:02. If the weather is favorable there 1B no doubt that not only will this be done but that Alix will lower the Nancy Hanks 2:04 record.
