In publishing thiatuff on

Thursday, the Gazette apologud for It by saying that under ordinar«oircumstautes the publication of sQi testi-\-mony wouid be unnecessary!,but on account of the attempt to "asrtninate" the character of Mr. Wyethit was necessary to give the testimony iduced.

Last, Jight the apology waa coiinued, wl"*r the same paper said etliVially: *lT «e Gazette believes that everjfather or gi ^rdian shouid, before his \y arriv at ten years of age, andsvery mo before her daughter is thsame age, tell them folly and franlr the my at ^ries of creation Of coursflfrom Jbls lt rge and extended experiejta as fatb- of a family the editor of ti Ga*ett -for when "The Gazette" ep^ca it me# a the editor—Is qualified to ,teak adv. edlyon auch topica, butQ. Vr©. lera to pin hia faith to that of a all. "knoT a gentleman who said last nht, referring to this particular paragnb: "I believe that I am thoroughly ali\ to iny atiea as a father, but if I should ten fi to tell my ten-year-old 8on ofhe •in, steries of creation' I don't thijk the»t ia a pile driver in the oouo-y large enough to drive me as deeply the earth as I should deserve toj£ driven. And then to think of a Mo attempting to tell ..her ten-ye»ir"4i daughter of the mysteries «f creat io',!

T«. Iking about the nasty talk thai published in the Gazette Thursday, was told by a thoroughly advised la ahat under sections 2082 and 2083 oi*e \Ma\ aed Statutes the GazetteofJs virs—could be punished by a finftf exceed five hundred nor less tf lollars, to which may be added fonentof u0t more than six mon ttbliihing dbscen® literature

(sending it through the mails. In the [same paper the editor asks for tha indietment of certain partiea—meaning, of course, the Express editor—for '"assassination of character." "Assassination of character" indeed! If the grand jury does any indioting in this affair it should begin with indioting the man who assassinated the purity of mind of hundreds of boys and girls who had more evil put into their minds by the single publication referred to than by years of association with ordinary people,

It la aald not many Democrats will go from this city to Indianapolis next Tuesday to attend the Jackson day banquet. They consider three dollars a plate too much to pay for an ordinary banquet aud listen to a lot of explauations^for tb,e November defeat.

Terre Haute ia getting to be quite metropolitan. Heard the other day of a Terre Haute man who isn't a professional man, and has no, capital invested in the business, but who draws a salary of one hundred dollars, a week and drinks a quart of ohampague for dinner every day. "Tfcrepfr baa beeiTnjemb9r^gf,|b^ council on whom mone^NWfr b0a«uu^ediJ)ut, understand me, none has ever been Bfced on me." .j

This is the language" used by Councilman Wey at tbe speoial counoil meeting last night. Comment on auoh talk as that ia unnecessary. We have a proaeoutlng attorney, and the grand jury ia now in session. If Mr. Wey knows these things to be true he ahould be made to air hia knowledge before the proper tribunal. If he 18 telling the actual facta he ahould be given credit if he ia talking through hia bat he ahdUld*be sbQwn up in the right light.

The following is the report of Superintendent James Bain of the December interments:

THE DEATH LIST.

The Part

Record of Interments for the Tear. During the pi»8t year thore were 327 intermenta in the new cemetery, and 117 in the old. Thia makes a total for Highland Lawn to date 2,485, a surpris ing nimiber when it is con8idered that for 8everal yedra after it waa opened there, were comparatively few burials there. There is no way of ascertaining definitely the number of intermenta in the old cemetery, as the earlier records were destroyed by fire several years ago. Superindent Bain, after consulting with the different undertakers, made an estimate for the 1890 census reporta of 19,000 interments, and since then the number has been increased to probably 19 500. The work on tbe new entrance to Highland Lawn is progressing favorably, and tbe handsome struoture will probably be completed in a short time. A number of fine monuments have been placed in Highland Lawn recently, among them those of Samuel Royse, Miller Brothers and Theodore Hndnut.

MEMORANDUMS OF THE 8WEARINQOFF SEASON.

Some Things Certain Terre Haute People Have Resolved They Will Do Never More—Good Resolutions for the New

Frank M. Clift—To buy no more Christinas preaenta for a man that doesn't apprec ate tbeovany better than Andy Kaufman.

Wig Sage—To go hunting no mpre with Dave Watson and John Henrich. Ohas. R. Dufflu—To preaide at no more politioal meetiugs in an '*oft"year. "Jaok" Paddook—To drive no more horses that are so gentle you oan drive tbem up &o,a locomotive without getting

THE FAIR BLOYCLE CONTEST. The guessing contest at The Fair has closed, and the number of letter s's'in to-day's Mail will be announced as soon as the count is completed this afternoon. Mr. Rossell has made a great hit with this novel contest, and every person con nected with The Mail has been besiegad with inquiries about the number, of times the letter "s" occur in an ordinary issue, whether to-day's paper will ba of the regular size, eto., eto. A good story is told on Ei. Cassady (by himself) in this connection. List Saturday,, as' is his usual custom, be bought a. Mail from a newsboy,, or asked for one, aud went home to count the letter s's. He went carefullv through the paper counting every "a" in reading matter and adver tisements, and after he had reached a total, he turned the paper over and discovered that he had been counting the letters in a Chicago pip^r that is sold here. He didn't kick himself then, but he will if be doesn't get that Fair wheel.

The Tribune, of South Bend, this state, recently queried the mayors of the different cities operating under the state metropolitan police law,,aa to their opinion regarding the proposed repeal of that law. Here ia what Mayor Fred A.. Ross hnd to say on tbe subject: "I am of tbe opinion that under the old state law the appointment of a polioe board by tbe'conncll waa the proper thing with the exception that the force ahould be equally divided between tbe two prominent partiea. We are now wrestling with the olty charter queation, and for cities having a speoial charter, aa Indianapolis, Evanaville and Fort Wayne, tbe sections under the bead of 'Department of Publio Safety' in the Indianapolis charter, pertaining to the police, meet with my approbation.

Dean McLaughlin, Jere Walsh, Robt Brown, M. F. Daugherty, M. S. Lowe, Grant White and Frank fiatttenbacb, who were mail carrtera under Postmaster Regan, have had their claims for overtime allowed. The claims have been pending aince August, I860, and range from $105 to |188,96eacb.

Noyes Andrew#, onceoneof our prominent business men, died last Sunday, aged seventy years. He was well-to do until *76, when he met with buaineas reverses, from which he never recovered. His fnnoral was conducted by the Masons on Tuesday.
