TSHRE HAUTE, IND., SEPT. 15, 18W.
THE
primaries LU the Breckenridge
district are in progress t-day. and we shall soon know whether Kentucky man hood has disappeared from Henry Clay's old district. It certainly has if Breckenridge is successful.
THE
"boss" lever has attacked Indian
apolis in its severest form. Au Indianapolis reporter tells of a prisoner who jumped from a railroad train that was "filing at rapid gait." Horses and men have gaits, but not railroads.
sheriff of Grant county has re
signed because his office is not self-sus-taining. His salary is $2,000 without fees, and when he pays his deputies, office hire, etc., he figures out that he will bo short about fdOOa year, which he o-onsiders too great a price to pay for the privilege of beiug the peace officer of his county. The coroner, on whom the sheriff's duties devolve in ca*»e of a va caaey, declares that he will resign his office rather than fcike the other.
MAINE,
that was famous for going
«'h 1 bent for Governor Kent," has gone even worse than that for Governor Cleaves, who was a candidate for re-elec tion. The Pine Tree state gave a republican plurality of over 37,000 the largest in its history, and there will be but nin6 Democrats in the next legislature. If the fall elections generally result as tuey have in Vermont and Maine, there will not be enough Gorman Democrats, Wil son Democrats, and Cleveland Demo crats,in the next House to fill the com mittees.
MRS. GOUOAR,
of the Southerners will never
give up that the "states' rights" question has been settled forever, aud Mississippi's governor and principal state officers, will have to face Uncle Sam in court, and tell why they issued some$200, 000 worth of state warrants in imitation of United Stites uoU'i, and in violation of the revised statutes. They claim to have a perfect right to issue such warrants, and that Uncle Sam cannot touch them. Some warm blooded Mlsstssipplans many years ago tried to demonstrate that Uncle Sam had no right to interfere with their vested rights, but his argument against them were over-convinc-ing, and they had to give up and this time the experience will doubtless prove the same.
THE SOUTHERN LYNCHINGS.
The report of the lynching of six' negroes near Memphis recently comes with startling force at this time when the anti-lyneh law movement which had taken ou such large proportions in England is giving indications of portentious growth In this country. The Memphis outrage was brutal in the extreme and when it is known that the victims were only suspected of incendiarism, a crime for which the maximum penalty would be imprisonment, their murder is evidence of a mur.lerous hatred on the part of some of the white people toward the colored race. AUer the six shackled men had been shot to death, the savage -whites riddled the dead bodies with bullets. Tb« slayers were bloodthirsty and nothing olse.
Miss Ida Wells, the young colored woman, who went to England a year ago and there enlisted the efforts of men aud women of International fame in the anti-lynch law movement, says the Memphis tragedy will help to arouse public opinion to the necessity of asserting itself in some manner that will shame the Southern people into taking ateps to bring to a speedy end these repeated inatanoes of human slaughter. Miss Wells says: "The number of lynohings have baen steadily increasing within the past ten years. In 1S92 there were 159 colored persons lynched in the South, and last year 169. This year's record ill be even greater The people up here don't know how helpless the negro is in the South. The only meetings allowed him are in his churches and even then they must be careful what they nay. remember a case of an old negro in Texas who prayed for the punishment of God to don a mob of lynchers who a man in his neighborhood. When the mob heard of his prayer he was also lynched. I could give dozens of such where lynohings have taken place for less cause than that. Relatives of guilty negroes have
U- V-
r-.lh
been taken from their homes and shot or hung when they were perfectly Innooent and had no connection whatever With the crime.",
There ia something of an excuse for the apparent apathy of publiosentiment iu the North Jn regard to these unpunished murders In the South. The discussion of the causes of them had degenerated into a political issue until persona who otherwise might have joined in anti-lynoh law movement hesitated in doing so for fear that they would be accused of joining in a poiitioal and sectional controversy. Then, too, many others felt that the Southern people ought to be permitted to solve this reca issue by themselves because it was of interest only to them, inasmuoh as they bad to live w.th the great mass of the negro population of the country, lu forming au intelligent opinion of the sltuatiou in the .South one must take into consideration the constant apprehension of the white people of that station of negro domination, or at the best, negioequallty. Weof the North, where the colored people attend the public pla JS of amusement and ride in the oars with the white people, do not understand with what loathing the Southern white* look forward to the time wheu the colored people, for generations Ireate 1 as slaves, shall be permitted the full benefit* of the civil rights laws as we construe and accept them in the North.

who is noted for her
jaw movement and for being from La fayette, is suing a Boston oongressm^p for saying mean things about her in re plying to her challenge for a joint de bate. Be ought to pay the damages for not being smart enough to know that the only way to silence such women as the Gougar, the Lease, et. al., is to ignore them altogether It breaks a woman's heart to refuse to argue with her, and these women have grown fat financially, quarreliug with men and women -who were willing to quarrel with them.
seems to b9 a difference in the
way the great telegraph monopoly, the Western Union, and its rival treat their employes and the public. In the Debs oase the Western Union turned over all its private business to the United States officers, violated its contract with its patrons, by making public private business Out in Iowa an United States judge tried to force a Postal-Cable manager to turn over his A. R. U. dispatches to the court, but the manager refused, saying it was private business that he could not disclose. His company backed him up In his position, and the court did not send him up for coutempt as was threatened. The other day the Western Union manager, at Reno, Col., was discharged, with all his employes, and doubtless was put on the blacklist, because during the recent A. R. strike, he refused to turn his office over to the United States officers absolutely, and let them use the wires when there is a company rule forbidding access to the wires to all except employes. The war department complained of him, and he lost his position because he obeyed orders. Corporations are soulless, but this is a remarkable performance even for such a grinder as the Western Union, to discharge an employe for enforcing a company rule.
THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Boyal Baking: Powder in Strength and Value 80 Per Cent, above the Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its classgreatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined—wherever ex hibited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the various state and Industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent World's Fair the examination for the baking powder awards were made by the experts of the chemical division of the Agricultural Department of Washington. The officials report of the tests of the baking powders which were made by this department for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, and which has been made public, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonlo gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited at the Fair, the next highestln strength thus tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas* The other powders gave an average of 111. The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent, above the average of all the other tests. Its superiority in other respects, however, in the quality, of the food it makes as to fi neness, delicacy and wholesomeness, could not be measured by figures.
It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the conn try for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sales of all other baking powders combined.
Chiko and his bride Johanna are prob ably the two greatest living attractions in the animal ktngdom. A male and female gorilla would be without doubt the most wonderful feature, but when these same gorillas are really a galnt and giantess, their value as curiosities is simply incalculable. Not since the great Jumbo, has Barnum & Bailey secured such great prizes. They are so humanlike in every particular as to set all men thinking where the animal begins and man ends. It is said that these remarkable animals can talk, and that they have a language of their own, and that a possibility exists that they may have AS well a hereafter, who knows. Go see them yourself when the Greatest Show on Earth comes here on Thursday, Sept. 27, 1894.
