TERRE HAUTE, IND., JAN. 12,1895.

Now is the season of senatorial elec tions and high water in the rivers.

ISIK reports from most cities give promise of great aotiyitj? in the building trades this year., ... I,,

WILLIE BRECKINRIDGE lectured to but forty persons in Charleston, South Carolinia, and still be does not seem to un-: stand that it is time for bim to disappear.

INDIANAPOLIS has bad age bach's animal show and a murder trial., this week and the discussion of the question of removing the State University was temporarily postponed.

Joa$ J. INGAIAS is' trying to be reelected to tbe senate from Kansas and his prospects are so good that all of bis enemies in tbe state ate combining their influence to defeat him. '-4

THKRE is some tafk of a speclkl session of congress after March 4th but it Is no£ probable that Mr. Cleveland will call one. He doesn't want a Republican oongr'esfl "6n Lis bands."

v***'

CONGRESS is juggling With the question how to provide a1 currency fo^ the people without frankly admitting that the green baoks are notes of indebtedness which the treasury Is not prepared t$ redeem.

-JAKE KILRAIN, who was so Qadly. whipped by John

L.

Sullivan, is now go*

ing to have another try'in the pugilistic ring. He evidently has not retfd Mtt Sullivan's book on "33he Perils of Being a Back Number." J-

JAPAN is reported to have declined overtures for peace or even an armistice. She wants to occupy Pekin first and is in a fair way to enter tbe city. By that time it is probable there will be a new dynasty in China to deal with the proposed terms of peace.

TEN years ago the fact that all the Florida oranges had been frozen would have "cut no ice" in tbe price of oranges, but the country has come to depend on the Florida crop to such an extent that tbe market price has been nearly doubled by the unusual visit of Jack Frost to that Htate.

A GRAND jury has taken up the investigation of New York official corruption where the Lexow committee left off, and as tbe proceedings of this body are not for spectacular effect, as was the case with the senate committee, something in the way of punishment of the gifilty may be looked for.

THERE is to be another international yacht race this year for the Amerl a cup. Lords Dunraven and Lonsdale are at the bend of a syndicate of English yachtsmen who will try to build a yacht that can capture tbe cup which has been on this side of tbe ocean most of the years in which there have been races.

TIMES are gradually getting better, and people are willing to pay higher prices for their goods. A Vermillion county farmer paid $100 for two kisses last week, the recipient being a pretty young married woman of his neighborhood. He paid the hundred to the court, however, as a fine for his indulgence.

THE first legislature the Indiana Republicans have fully controlled since 1873 is now in session at Indianapolis. The accumulated wisdom and experience of twenty-two years of adversity ought to teach lessons that will be of great advantage to tbe residents of the Hoosier state in the way of lawmaking.

HETTT GREEN, tbe richest woman in the country, who drives none but "bard bargains," is very unhappy,and believes she is doomed to be assassinated. She might find some relief from tbe horrors that afflict her by following the example of those men multi-millionaires who give millions for educational and benev olent objects as a sort of gift to a con science fund.

IN the November election, the Democratic and Republican candidates for prosecuting attorney in Knox county tied in the number of votes received. The governor has ordered a special election to decide tbe question, for which the county will have to pay in the neighborhood of 12,000. Yet, there are those who say onr election law is so per feet that it needs no amendments.

THE good people of Limit Ohio, thought to save their community from the blighting influence of Ingersoli by arranging for free counter attractions tbe night of his lecture. All this simply served to fill the hall where the in

fldel orator assailed the Bible. ln*ersoll's inttuenoe is to be measured by tbe size of his audiences and until bis ex oitable opponents come to a realiaa'JOn of that fact and find a way to impress upon people tbeir dootrine and belief a« strongly as he does his unbelief they will be pursuing a foolish policy making a bugbear of him to frighten people of mature years.

THK Indiana congressmen who will go into forced retirement from public life next Maroh will write books as a means of helping eke out a livelihood in private life. Mr. Holman will write of his thirty years in the House of representatives and Mr. MoNagny, of the Ft. Wayne district will write a book descriptive of Washington life. His purpose will be to make it interesting to the youth of the land.

THB grip is in the country again. It Is not so serious in its attacks on suffering humanity as it was when it first came several years ago but its grasp is strong enough to make a viotlm believe all of his bones are being broken. The doo tors say it is a germ disease but the germ ban not been identified. The worst phase of tbe disease is in the entailed effects. The list of the dead whjjise death could be traced to a former attack of the grip would be a.long one«jt*

MAYOR STRONG of New York is getting out of patience- with those who are impatient with him because he does not make all of his appointments at once. He says he will take his own tlfne. in making the changes and when it is remembered that the responsibility is alone with him in a greater degree than It is with the president of the United States in selecting officials, no one ought, to criticise him for ^liberating well and oarefully in making the selections.

ROBERT BRTTOE,,a writer for bioyole periodicals, is going in searoh of Fr%qk Lenz, jtbe young man who started early in 18198 for a trip around the world-on bis wheel. Lentz went by th® Way pf San Francisco and China and was lrtst he a re a a W last. The state department' h&s trfced him over the Turkish border and itiis supposed that tile was killed and dobe away with. There is nothing 1,0 fivor of these around tbe ^orld jottrbiJys Sfcve tbe gratification.of a spirit of adventure.

SENATOR HILL attended the" annual state dinner at the White House and he and Mn Cleveland ch^ted pleasajpt^finthe ypdiiiiig efJeji«M^$ WM decidedly fantisbal' i^venp T^jia ,sei»tjor' bad not beefa in the Wtfl'te Hobs£ his personal enemy befame president and the quidhab'cfe are makiu&the ^adst of j^t. The com monesfe guess* if tha£t he senator.wants to'be thefeajidldate ojf iiis party for president in 1896 and is ^eking the president's support. Unless, the people in the West and South undergo a radical change of opinion between .japjv and. June next year neither party ,wiil take New York into consideration

selecting a candidate.

THE effort to secure a "Greater New York" has resulted in other "greater" eflorts. A bill which has for its object the formation of "the Greater Pittsburgh" has been introduced into tbe Pennsylvania legislature. It is proposed to incorporate in one municipality all tbe cities and populous boroughs of Allegheny county, and give the new Pittsburgh a radius of about fifteen miles. In 1890 the census gave this territory a population of 381,117, but it probably contains now half a million people. It supports seventy seven banks, with deposits aggregating fl'22,800.000, which is a greater financial strength than any of tbirty-four states out of the forty-four. In this territory is produced 50 per cent.-of all tbe plate glass made in the United States, 35 per cent, of the country's steel production, an4 18 per cent, of the country's pig Iron.

FIFTEEN of the charitable societies of New York City are going to test tbe idea of tbe writers of humorous paragraphs about tbe tramps that is they are to be given a j?b of wood sawing or other work on a farm. The plan is to have the legislature pass a law granting power to commit these professional mendicants to a farm where they are to serve a term which may be made long enough to affect a cure of the begging habit. The societies believe this to be tbe best means of clearing the ground of the professional beggars so that the worthy poor may the better be cared for. Tbe Philadelphia societies are alarmed lest the New York treatment of the vagabonds may send them to the city of brotherly love which is considering the feasibility of adopting the same plan. If it is adopted generally by the oities what will become of the tramp? If all cities, acting for self-protection, follow this plan, the non-working individual will be driven to tbe country, to work or, as one Philadelphia newspaper suggests^ to get off the earth. *j' "-i

JOHN BURNS may be overburdened with audacity in criticising American cities on short acquaintance, but it is not a sufficient reply to say that he cared to see only the slums. True, be oould have found much that la admirable as well as luxurious in the upper circles of society in the cities, bnt tbe quantity of dregs in the bottom of a vessel furnish the surest evidence of tbe original condition of tbe element. It is quite true that there may be comfort, refinement and luxury in a city, but those who are enjoying these blessed conditions are not the ones who demand the solid tons attention of the municipal or social reformer and whatever else may be said of Burns as a labor agitator, socialist, eto., he is admittedly a man of

experience in the consideration the question of alleviating the misery of the people who live in the slums of the olty. He did not come to this country to see the dress parade population but to learn if the poor and degraded of our cities are worse off than the like class in English oities. What he has said In that oonneotlon may not be pleasant to the ear, coming from a "blar&ted Britisher," but is it true?

THE effort to establish new telephone exchanges is being watched with considerable interest, While it is true that the chief patents which gave the Bell people their monopoly up to a year ago have expired, it is claimed there are others it controls which are necessary in using any telephone. A few days ago the monopoly company obtained an in junotion from one of the United .States courts in Chioago against the Harrison International oompaoy, but tbe latter protests that it is not using any of the devioes referred to in the complaint. Tbe Harrison oompauy has put up three hundred instruments in Lafayette at about half the rats heretofore charged by the old oompany. The latter is not only refusing to take out its in£$u'ments wh'en ordered to do so. but is teljIpg^ tbe subscribers to make/useo^ the e^ohange free of ooat. ,Tbe pboeftlp opflQpany claims to have secqreid ^f^6!1 hundred yearly contracts |n Indianapolis, and will supply for a franchise when eighteen hundred have been obtained. The rates are much less tha,n those of the old company. It is unquestionably true that the people have been payjng too muoh for their telephones, an3t it does begin to look as i| the day of lie llveranfce from thedutches of the idbo nopoly is bete. 1. r. i" ii .!• .• n'.ysi

THE etbios.ot the legal profession are quite beyond tbe comprehension of the layman, and seem to be governed by locality and climate. Not long ago in a Chioago oriminal oourt, a man was convicted of a charge on evidence that hid been forced from his lawyer. In pai ing on the case the presiding judge occasion to seore the lawyer who •donfertwbitfi'he termed a most unprofi slontitt things*'The. language' watt sevtoreTtbat it placed'the attorney almost' beyond the pale of deceno^imd^f'iespbfctr. iNovr 'on tbe other band, in Cletefend' this week, a well-known lawyer has beW placed under arrest and sent tonsil fot'-.contempt of court for ifefoarng ft$ divulge the. namd of a olient whoni jb| admits i? guilty of xplittler, of which facVhe became aware when tbe unknown

^eltdned -him as counsel. The attorney, .who wag formerly a staters attorney, testified that be knew the inurderer and oould put his hand on him at any time. pe refused point blank, however, -tp, give,the name of that muoh sought for, person, saying that the party was ^if client and that he could therefore not :be compelled to divulge his name.,.Bill he's in jail just the same. Novtfet^fr* question that agitates'the average mind 4Sf which code of ethics, Chicago ^or Cleveland, is to govern the professioii.

THE death and largely attended funeral of Sim Coy have been the occasion of a great deal Of comment, not alone in In dianapolis, because of tbe peculiar character of the man and'tbe crime for which be served a term in the penitentiary. Coy possessed many admirable qualities and was not at beart viciously inclined. These who knew him best assert that had he started in life with better sur roundings he would have been not only a successful but honorable business or professional man. Despite the fact that he was drawn

finto

the whirlpool of

trickery and corrupt politics bo was known for his kindness of heart and sincere friendships, traits of character that are rare in the politician who gets a living out of politics. He was the shrewdest of the wire pullers of his city and for a time had tbe reputation of being the taost corrupt. With his death there has come tbe belief be was not so bad as he was painted but that he really suffered for tbe crimes of others who yet hoi their heads high in thB.t community. When he saw men who bad the.respect of tbe people eagerly engaged in dishon orable schemes to gain a party advantage he might well have justified himself in taking part, but it is even said to bis credit that in the ballot box forgery matter he was not an accessory except after tbe faot, and that the guiltier ones were never arraigned before the bar of justice.

WHEN an Indiana man goes after anything he nsually gets it. He doesn't always make a complete accounting for what he gets, as is the case with W. W. Taylor, ex-treasurer of state of South Dakota, who has made way with some $350,000 of tbe state's money, and disappeared from public view. A man like that necessarily has some redeeming traits, and one of Taylor's is that he is a Hoosier.

THE ruling passion is strong in death, always. A Kentucky man on his deathbed insists that his body be preserved in aloohol.

THE good resolutions that went into effect last Tuesday week—where are they "at" now?

Ofi tiext Friday evening, January 18tb, tbe Rev. Dr. T.

I.

Coultas will deliver a

lecture at Centenary M. E. ohurch. Subject:11As Far as Pai is." This lecture was written since his recent trip to Europe. Dr. Coultas' abilities are too well known here in Terre haute to need any extended mention. He was one of tbe most eloquent, as well as one of tbe most popular, divines who ever filled a pulpit in this oity, and his friends here are countless—and all of them will be anxious to bear his lecture.

PULLMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE,

Gholly Tolls IT* tlie Baron Caino Pretty Near Pulling the Duko'a Now. Baron Otto vou Fritsoh, a very clover and agreeable German nobleman, is in town on a visit and tells a good story of how he wag offered $1,000 to pull George Pullman's uow iu Chioago the other day.

It seems that tbe baron was the duke's agent »t the Chicago exhibition and had oharge of the Pullman exhibit in the Transportation building.

He found Pullman a hard taskmaster, nnd being rather hot tempered himself he finally quarreled with his employer and told him to go to the deuce.

A Chioago newspaper heard of the quarrel and sent a representative to the baron offering him $1,000 in oash if hp would pull George Pullman's nose in publio.

The baron longed to accept the offer and would have done so had his acoounts with the millionaire been settled.

He restrained bis desires, settled bis acoounts and then offered to do the job for half the original sum, bnt the paper was then bent on another sensation, and tbe negotiations fell through.

'Awful D®*.".

Kate Fieid writes from England: "Apropos, of Albert memorials, the newly ereoted statue in Hyde park is tbe most hideous thing tbe human eye ever beheld. The figure is seated, enveloped in a great robe. As the bronze is gilded, it is impossible to view the shining mass %hen the sun falls upon it. From the back the statue looks like a huge gilded pill and is familiarly called 'Albert the Gilt.' They say thatehen the. Prince of Wales first beheldTt he threw tip his hands, exolaimihg, 'My awful dad!'thus pertinently applying the title of Charles Mathews' last com edy. The Edinburgh memorial far outshines—metaphorically, I mean—the Hyde park monstrosity.''
