ON THE QUI VIVE.

4 Governor Matthews has a great many Republican friends In this city, but.he didn't strengthen himself in their good graces by misquoting for political effect the language used by ex-President Harrlson, regarding the disturbance of a political meeting in Indianapolis, mak ing the latter appear as an apologist for riots. Nothing is gaihed by such work fand it is too bad that the Governor has been led into it.

It was very kind of Mr. Lamb, at the night meeting, to pardon Colonel Thompson for his eighty four years. I have uo doubt but that our own Colonel has been lying awake of nights worrying for fear that Mr. Lamb wouldn't forgive him for having lived so long. But now that Mr. Lamb in the kindness of his generous nature, has publicly announced his forgiveness of the Colonel's crime of living so long, all will be serene. The difference, by the way, between the size of Governor Matthews' audienoe Monday afternoon, and that of Mr. Lamb's that evening, shows that the latter is the great North American whip cracker. A friend of mine says the reason that there was such a smell crowd in the afternoon, was that everybody was out hustling to get a big crowd for the idol of Vigo county Democracy.

The Lamb editor of the Gazette, to whom.is assigned thedirty work the last days of every campaign is getting in his work as usual^this year. If he had be gun a few days earlier it is quite likely that he would have driven back into line all the Republicans who had intended to vote for Democratic candidates. There are more Republican voters than Democratic in the city of Terre Haute and Vigo county, as shown by the returns of every election, with the exception of course of the landslides of '90 and '92. Yet year after year the court bouse has been filled with Democratic office holders, who held their posi tions by grace of their Republican friends. Yet with this reason for not engaging in intemperate abuse of Republicans, the Lamb editor has been getting in his work the last few days with a zeal that is remarkable. Q. "V. wonders at the lack of judgment displayed in this kind of work at such a time.

Tii® L«mb editor will rgUrfi. from active control next Tuesday, and the "Good Lord" editor will again assume charge. He will apologize in his own facetious way—and as he only can—for all the mean, venomous things that have been said 0? Republicans, "honey" them up as be has before honeyed them up— between-olection dates,—and all will go as merry as a marriage bell. This Is one of the advantages of having a "Lamb" editor and a "Good Lord" editor. The "Good Lord" editor knows as well as anybody that the man whom he has abused time and time again—between elections—for failing to fulfill bis duties of the office to which he was elected, Township Trustee Peker, is practically in charge ol the campaign of the man whom he desires to be his successor, and knows just as well that the same man whom he has vigorously con demned—between elections when it wouldn't count—has publicly boasted that he would spend five hundred dol lars of his own money to encompass the defeat of the Republican candidate for that position—can any one tell why? The "Good Lord" editor knows this, but he will wait until after Tuesday to voice bis honest sentiments. Then, if the Democratic candidate is successful be will say for bun, that "the people of Harrison township are to be congratulated on having elected to the responsible position of township trustee a man who will not take the people's time to transact business for a private corporation, from which be draws salary, but who will beat his post of duty at ail tinibs ready to respond to the call of the people," If the Republican candidate should be elected the G. L, R. will say about the same thing of him, and add:

Wocongratulateour Republican friends on having bad the good judgment to select such a capable business man for such a responsible position." The G. L. E knows all this now,—but then that's the difference between a G. L. E. before election and after.

Q. V. talked with a Democratic friend the other day, who bad b»n over this congressional district, and who believes that Brookshire 1s & doomed man. He figures out that Geo. Faris will come to Vigo county with the following pluralities: Fountain, 1005 Montgomery, 100 Parke, 550 Vermillion, 400, total 1,150. He figures that Clay wilt be a stand off audi that Sullivan county will not go more than 1,000 for Brookshlre, giving Paris 150 to spare outside of Vigo, and every vote he gets here more than Brookshire, will increase his plurality just that much. Considerable money is being wagered quietly in this city that Faris will be elected. 11 the latter possibility becomes a certainty there are some JMmocrata in this city, who apparently have been making a desperate last-ditch fight for the Montgomery county statesman—apparently, I say—will go out to some secluded spot, far from the uiad-

ding crowd, and take a great big laugh with themselves. Don't believe this? Well, then you're not on.

That is a very favorable.loan the council made Wednesday night, of $40,000 at an Interest rate of three and a half per cent. Heretofore the city hits paid all the way from five to eight per oent. in terest on its short-time loans, and a reduction to three*and a half per oent, will result in quite a saving. The loans was made through the personal efforts ot Russell B. Harrisou, who deserves great credit for the act

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

AFTER the blectlou what will we flud in the daily newspaper

THE result of ne*t Tuesday's election is not likely to depend on the weather.

THE "sensation the campaign" has only a few days left now iu which to spring itself upon the public.

IT was not so much writer's cramp that kept Mr. Cleveland from writing to Mr. Hill as it was politicians' oolic.

MR. MoRTt ^oacuman has ceased to bsan issue iu the New York campaign It was a mighty small issue to be raised by a man of Carlisle's calibre.

THE question of womatr suffrage in New York, which was a "live issue" two months ago, has been lost in the complications of the political situation in that state.

IF the Princess Alix, who is to wed the new Czar, has as many faces as the newspapers have given her, she can easily get a job in a dime museum as a freak.

OF all the defenses put forth of the in come tax, which is susceptible of strong defense, the one that the man with a big income would not miss the amount of his tax assessment is the most unscrupulous.

INTEREST in the election has been eclipsed in Indianapolis by a furious war now going on between a oouple of rival dramatic critics. It has been bloodless thus far, but there's no telling what the end will be.

NOBODY but Grover Cleveland would ever be expected to advance the theory that when a man becomes President he ceases to be a citizen, and thereby loses his right to vote. It was a very poor excuse to get out of voting for bis enemy, Hill.

SECRETARY GRESHAM is coming to Indiana to make Democratic speeches. The unrequited love for the Presidency that made him a Democrat induces him to make a tour to offset Mr. Harrison's recent trip, but he will find that the Hoosiers admire a fighter rather than a "quitter," such as be is.

SOME REFLECTIONS.

To ask a man to pay a bill is as easily said as dun. Constancy is a great virtue, unless it is constancy in wrong doing.

Lawyers can lay down the law, but it is about the only thing they get bold of that they ever lay dowu.

Every man has been in love at some time during his career but sometimes It has been only with himself.

It may be that one reason why there 1b so much room at the top of the ladder is that up there there Isn't anything to hold on to.

The trouble with thinking before you speak Is that there Isn't enough of what you were going to say to be thought about.

The best way in the world to learn is from experience. It isn't always so costly, either, if only you learn from the experience of other people.

The sentiment iu opposition to theatrical productions based upon the bible is doubtless founded on the public's dislike to seeing sacred things made a holy show of.

If a mao keeps bis eyes open he can some times get an opportunity to bny a p'60 piano for $375, but that doesn't make It pardonable for him to do it when he cannot pay hts rent.

Scieooe ought never to despair of being able to translate the cuneiform inscriptions in view of the fact that there are mothers who can tell you what an elgbt-months-old baby says.

A girl, with lips like cherries, cheeks like a peach, a brow ot alabaster, eyes like burning coals of fire, and hair like a raven's wiog, may not be out of place In a sensational novel, but in real life, wouldn't she literally be a sight?

AMUSEMENTS.

DIPLOMACY."^"'

Miss Rose Coghlan and her superb company of players will appear at Naylor's this evening in a fine production of Viotorien Sardou's famous comedy, "Diplom toy." The stor/ of the play is largely conveyed in its title. It* structure is as complete a handiwork of the playwright's art as can w*ll be supposed. It comprises all the eieunnts of a great play and until the final climax the audience cannot foretell how it is goiug to end. The heroine, if this term is a proper one, is a female Russian spy in the employ of the Rin»ian government. As the tfttintess Zicka, she goes into the very best Parisian society and it is there tbatshe weaves her web, being assisted and largely directed by the Russian en roy, Baron Stein. Their machinations, however, fail to succeed. The love episode of the play is also deeply interesting, but it is to Sirdou's clever diplomatic complications that "Diplomacy" owes its wondeifulsuccess. Those who miss this performance to night will miss one of the greatest dramatic events of the season.

WALKKR WHITEUDE IN "HAMLET." Lovers of the drama must feel greatly indebted to Manager Hay man for securing such a high class attraction as Walker Whiteside for a performance at Naylor's on Monday evening and society will no doubt make this an event to turn out iu full force. The seat sale is progressing at Buntln's. The play that has been selected Is one that is bound to please the

HAMLET.

maj rity of this sterling actor's admirera, "Hainlet." This character has been for some time one of Mr. Whiteside's favorites end in the estimation of many, is that gentleman 'a masterpiece, and it is an Indication of no slight ambition that a young actor should be willing to encounter critical comparison in so arduous and exciting a part, nor oan it be said that the vaulting ambition overleaps itself in Whiteside's portrayal of the part. His great power grows to the exigencies of the character and there is no question about hts ability to properly carry out his own ideas as to how the great part should be rendered. There are few as capable companies in the legitimate drama as carried by this superb attraction. And there is only one Walker Whiteside, and this will be bis only visit to our city this season. The manager of our theater should be encouraged to bring us such standard players.

VAUDEVILLE AND SPECIALTY CO George Dlxou and his big vaudeville aud specialty company are underlined at Naylor's for next Thursday evening, Nov. 8th, and lovers of that class of amusements will find it an exceedingly bright, clean and meritorious entertainment. Geo. Dixon and an opponent of renown will illustrate the scientific points in the manly art of self defence during the performance. Vaudeville performauces, as a rule, always do well here, and as this company is above the average they should do a big business next Thursday night.

BBRR seems to be the national beverage in this country. The latest statistics show that last year there was produced In this country 33,822 000 barrels of beer, each barrel averaging 496 glasses, or an average of one glass of beer for every working day to every man, woman and child in the United States. The brewing of beer was begun about fifty years ago In Philadelphia, but Ite production baa increased to such an extent that we may lay just claims to being a rival to Germany as a beer-drinking nation.

IT is a well known fact thai Th the offices of the large newspapers columns of obituary biographies are kept in type when a man of prominence is dangerously ill, but this week a patent medicine concern evinced a spirit of enterprise that was audacity Itself. The same papers that announced the death of the Czar contained an article, with a display heading, apparently a sketch of his life but in reality an advertisement for a medicine which it was said would cure a person of the disease which caused the Czar's death.
