TERRE HAUTE, IND., NOV. 3,. 1894

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE? The registration of voters in New York City and Chicago is latger in eaoh city than in 1892, the year of the presidential ©lection. It has set the politicians of both parties to claiming all the advan tage In the showing, but while it is easy to make this claim the wiser and the more experienced politicians have been set to guessing as never before. While it is true that the increased registration over a'presidential year, indicates au in creased interest in the election, yet the fact must not be lost sight of that the vote of 1892 was far short of what It should have been. Conservative estimates placed the shortage in the country at 1,200,000 votes. In New York state Mr. Cleveland's total vote was but 16,000 more than Mr. Harrison received four years before. The increase in the state in the whole vote in the four years was but 46,000 whereas the increase in the vote of 1888 over that of 1884 was 150,000 in round figures. Mr. Cleveland's elections In New York state have been by default not affirmative victories. For in stance when he received a plurality of 192,000 for governor in 1882 his total vote was 20,000 less than Garfield received two years before and only 1,000 more than given for Hancock who lost the state. Hill received 650,464 votes for governor in 1888 and was elected when on the same day Cleveland received for president but 635,757 and was defeated.

In Chicago the registration was 317,000 males, which exceeded the New York City registration a few thousand and thereby raises the question whether Chicago has not outstripped the seaport metropolis. Tbeincrease in the registration over 1892 was phenomenally large and is accounted for on several grounds, chief of which is the large accession to the population by reason of the World's Fair. It is also charged that much fraudulent registering was done. The leaders of the People's party, which is distinctly the labor party in that oity, insist that the large registration is mostly due to the factthatthe labor vote which was indifferent to the result in 1892 is now making an effort to capture some of the local offices and that these third party voters are the oaes who have contributed in the largest measure to the big total of names on the lists.

THE Czar of Russia is dead. Escaping nihilistic plots that have been directed at him during his entire reign, he finally succumbed to a disease that baffled the skill of the most noted specialists of Europe. Succeeding to the throne at the death of his father in 1881, his reign has been marked by a display of such absolute power that it is not to be wondered at that nihilists were developed. He is succeeded by his son, the Grand Duke Nicholas, who Is but twenty six years old, and who has never displayed any qualjfl atlon* for the exalted position either In force of character or ability. Already there is talk of nihilistic plots against his life, and bis reign may prove short. His grandfather could not escape them, and bis father was enabled to do so only by making himself virtually a prisoner In his own palaces. If the new Czar bad ambition and energy, he might give the map makers a chance to make some changes in Central Asia, where the death of the rnlerof Afghanistan will giveopportnnities for Russian diplomacy to advance her boundary lines toward England's Indian possessions. It is a matter that is continually in dispute, and an aggressive monarch on the Russian throne might give our English cousins some trouble and offer her a chance to use the armies ber people are taxed to death to support. Buf, pro nonnced in his* youth an idiot-, his development has not been such as to give promise of any marked ability.

Thk Cincinnati bakers have reduced the price of bread to three cents a loaf. The prioe of bread, It may be said, Is fixed by the price of flour, which is cheaper than ever before, but If you "haven't got the price" It doesn't matter how low the price may be. This is a point the campaign orator makes with what Is called uteir but it is a point with far ..uport than any political significant thorp may he is it, attd so It will be found tin* winter when the relief committees are at work.

THE USE OF ANTITOXINE.

Stati»t) Showing the Power of tho Recently Discover^ Itvwedy For Diphtheria. In tho first report given to the public by thp board of health in this oity concerning the use of the so called antitoxine for tho prevention i.:- cure of diphtheria it was stated by Dr. Biggs that the rocord of 850 caaea (showed that when the injections were made on tho first day of the appearauooof the disease the recoveries were 100 per cent, and that 97 per cent of those treated on the second day recovered. There are now accessible more detailed statistics concerning tho use of this xemedy in oertain European hospitala

For the three years immediately preceding the application of antitoxine in the Emperor and Empress Frederick's Children's hospital at Berlin 1,081 cases of diphtheria were treated^ and the mortality was 40 per cent After the middle of last March 138 cases were treated by the application of the new remedy, and the mortality fell to 18 per cent. It should be borne in mind that all these were oases in which the disease had become established before the injections were mada The physicians in charge of the hospital also inoculated 72 ohildren who had been exposed to the disease, and only eight of these afterward had diphtheria, the disease appearing in a mild form.

While such statistics may not be conclusive, they do indicate that a very valuable agent for the treatment olthis disease has been discovered. It should not be forgotten that no one claims that the injections will prevent a fatal result when they are made after the disease has become well developed. The serum of the blood of the immune animal contains a substance hostile to the diphthoritio poison, and it is believed that this substance, when introduced into the system by subcutaneous injection, will overcome and neutralize tho diphtheritic poison if the injections are made at a sufficiently early date—that is to say, when the antitoxine is thus applied to persons who have been exposed to diphtheritic infection, but in whom the symptoms of the disease have not yet appeared, it is believed to be an effective safeguard, for the poison in such cases can easily be overcome. This belief is supported by the statistics thus far available. And if the inoculation is made immediately after the appearance of the disease it is almost as effective. But after the disease has become well developed and firmly seated the antitoxine may be powerful enough to retard the progress of it and to ameliorate the suffering of the patient, although it may not prevent a fatal issue. —New York Times,

Dress Trimmings.

A great deal of jet combined wi velvet will be used as dress trimmings. The special novelty, a rival for spangles, is, according to Harper's Bazar, flat beads called moire satin beads on account of their peculiar luster and smooth finish. They are round or oval and are effective amid small cut jet beads and the large cabochons which are revived. Painted black velvet is- another novelty, the painting in ovals or leaves, or disks of mauve green or red sunken in the pile. Tiny peacocks' feathers are also painted on velvet grounds. Vandyke points of fine jet beads in open designs are brought in seven different lengths, some for the skirt and others for trimming dress waists on collets. Yokes of jet, fichus, epaulets wired in shape, stoics and panels are also shown. Black silk embroideries in open designs like those of point de venise come in straight edged galloons of different width and in vandyke points of various lengths, some points being 86 inches long.,

A Sarcastio Minister.

The new communion system was tho subject of a few remarks from tho Rev. Robert J. Burdette, who preached Sunday morning at the Temple at Broad and Berks streets. He evidently disapproved of it, for he said that church members whose minds wero full of microbes and germs were not in touoh with the service. "After the individual chalices have been in use for a time," said Mr. Burdette, "somebody will ask for a napkin, and some angular man with long legs and a poor lap will want a little table, and ultimately the deacons may bo compel led to wear little nickel badges, as other waiters da "—Philadelphia Record. ..

Child Butchery In Itttfy.

The following authentic news comes from Italy: A short time ago the tonsician Carmolo of Catania cruelly butchered not less than 24 children to Saturate the ground with their blood, thereby to discover hidden treasure. The fiend was hunted down, but beoame violently insane and died in a lunatio asylum. The horrible occurrence has just been repeated. During the last few days 20 children had been kidnaped out of the town of Cibali and Santa Sofia and wero later on found dead, the bodies having been cut open, in the woods near by. At the same time the parents of the victims reoeived anonymous letters asking them not to take the matter to heart, as by means of the blood of the children a vast treasure would be found, out of which they wore to*te amply ihdemnifled. So far tho perpetrator or perpetrators of the horrible deed remaiii undiscovered. -.

'Shocking tTntil Explained. Axi amusing little paragraph is going the rounds regarding a gentleman who recently received an invitation to dinner at Marlborough Houso. He did not know what costume he ought to appear in, so he sent a note on tho sly to the private secretary. Sir Francis Knollys replied that "as no ladies are to be present trousers may be worn." At first sight this seems embarrassing if not positively shocking. The simple explanation of this dubious message, however, is that, as a rule, knee breech* es are worn with evening dress at Marlborough House.—London Quiver.

LOOK OUT FOR THE YELLOW DRAGON.

Danger Thought to Lurk In the Possibility of China Learning How to Fight.

China has about 400,000,0U0 of people. They know nothing of war. Educate them in the art, and they'twi} reach out for the world. Speaking of a good authority on this subject, the Spokane Chronicle says: "John Brisben Walker, editor of The Cosmopolitan, who for a time served in the Chinese army, holds that the powers of the world should try to stop the war between China and Japan. He argues that if this war lasts long enough to convince China that she must modernize her military system it will not be long before the yellow dragon will be the most formidable battle ensign on the earth. All of which coinoides with the remark of Napoleon that it would be an evil day when the Chinese learned the art of war." i.'•.I*'
