ON TIE QUI VIVE.

Terre H0ite ministers have oertainly occupied a good share of attention this week by their utterauoes, and if some of the sensational preachers of the large cities don't look to their laurels they will be wrested from them Rev. F. A. Morgan went after Judge Taylor Sunday morning, and handled him without gloves lor what the minister thought was serious short-comings In the way justice is administered in the Circuit court. V. doesn't remember of ever having heard or read such a personal at tack In the pulpit, and when tbe lawyers criticised the reverend gentleman for his remarks, he refused to take down or modify them. He doesn't seem to fear any contempt proceedings, and would doubtless welcome tbem.

On the same day, at the labor meeting at the court house, Rev. V. Hunter went after the two old parties with a sharp stick, and declared that the Re publican party, of which he is supposed to be a member—and not a very discreet one, either—Is composed either of hypo crltes or Tools.

The next da£ all the ministers of tbe Ministerial Association met and united in a letter to Senator McLean, urging him to work for the passage of theNich olson bill in the

senate,

and condemning

in the most intemperate terms the action of Messrs. Spauiding, Finkbiner and Davis for votiug against It in the house. There is more than one kind of intemperance* and it often happens that men who are fighting one phase of the temperance question are guilty of another form of intemperance. Thus, when the Ministerial Association charges that "the Vigo county representatives have shown their subservienoy to the worst elements of society, they have voted in the interests of immorality, lawlessness, and bad government." its members are guiltv of using laoguage that is radically intemperate. They are right in using their best efforts to secure the enaotment of laws they believe will inure to the benefit of the community. They should not be so radical, however, an to ddny the right of others to honestly disagree with tbem on some of the features of tbe bill in question without being olassed as In favor of immorality and lawlessness, and subservient to the worst elements of society. That is as wn 11 nh as to say that a man who doesn't think your way is a fool—which is not very convincing. Q- V. does not believe, as do some others who are equally in temperate in the opposite direction, that ministers are meddling when they take an interest in public questions. It Is their right, their privilege, even their duty, but they would accomplish greater results if they were not so quick to impugn the motives of and condemn so intemperately those who dlfter with them.

Rev, Hickman capped the climax of ministerial sensations of the week in a paper read before the Terre Haute Liter ary club Monday night in which he advanced arguments to prove that the real solution of the negro problem is in tbe amalgamation of the whites and blacks. He explained that he doesn't believe in it himself, and his arguments bad the weight one would naturally expeot under the ciicumstances. A Chicagopaper commentingon the artiole, whichafcfcracted attention on account of its unusual character, well said that a man who could advance that argument ought to Carry out his professions In practice,

The school board had its regular wrangle over the first district beating apparatus last night, in which Trustee Button got the best of tbe arguments although he was outvoted in his effort save tbe money for the people. Mr. Llndeman got very agry, and moved to take the book business away from the Havens A Geddes Co. in whioh Mr. But ton Is a partner. Mr. Boland refused to vote with his Democratic colleague, and Mr. Button scored a decided victory. The latter no doubt anxiously awaits the coming of next June, when the counoil wilt elect another Republican trustee, and take him out of a minority which gives bim no show.

To show bow radically opinions differ Tr, the Nicholson bill it may bo said that a petition was sent to the senate from this oity, asking that the measure be beaten, and it was signed by great numbersof business men on Main street who are not interested in the liquor traffic, and who would scarcely be called repre sensitive* of the worst elements of society. On tbe other hand Q. V. has heard of ft number of saloon keepers and bartenders who are sincerely in favor of the bill because, as they say, if it be comes a law and la enforced it will tend to make their business more respectable. One of these men refused to sign the petition above referred to, and openly declared that he hoped the bill would become a law and be rigidly enforced. Can you cite any wider extremes than these?

There is no question but that there has been a wonderful change in public opinion in this city during the past few months regarding the liquor laws. It is in the shape of an undercurrent that a

great many have not been able to appreciate. V. propheoies that if the eleven o'olock and Sunday dosing laws are en forced in this oity, under the new state law, there will be less of a howl than has ever accompanied such a movement heretofore^

The oouncil will do itself proud if it oan devise some plan to carry out Dr. Larkins' suggestions regarding the reduction in the number of telephone, telegraph and similar poles. As V. remarked last week, tbe place is becom ing unsightly on account of the enormous number of poles that disfigure our streets, and the Larkins plan will reduce the number until such a time as it may seem possible to enforce a law requiring the placing of all wires under ground. The idea is to have one set of poles for all the wires of high voltage, and one set on the opposite side of the street for those of low voltage. The plan seems feasible, Is certainly reason able, and under the head of police powers conferred on the council that body should be able to pass an ordinance regulating the number of poles and the manner of their erection. :M

It bias ^Ien*8ome time &fhc$ Cotiffi'Oil man Wey bobbed up In tbe council to object seriously to anything, blit be did it Tuesday night, when Clerk Goodwin finished reading the minutes of the preceding meeting. Mr. Wey said very decidedly that he had no reoollection of having signed ertaln reports of the committee on streets and alleys, and he wanted to know by what right the record showed that he had signed thjEim. He took down very gracefully, however, when they produced the original report, on which Mr. Wey's signature loomed up like a four-time winner.

Some of tbe township trustees who lost money in the Beach bank failure have had their losses made good out of the state treasury by special act of the legislature, and some of the depositors who weren't public officials are wishing now that they had been, that they might get something out of it.

Many "persons are wondering what there is in the suit brought by one of Russell Harrison's employes to restrain the city council from paying the old company for February's light. At first thought it would seem to be actuated by a desire to (get even," but another suggestion is that the council, if it pays the old company's bill, will have cause for action against the new one for the dif ference between the old company's bill and that of the new company, had it been able to fill its contract. If this isn't the reason, and if it isn't to "get even" why wasn't the suit brought to restrain the city from entering into the e&ra time contract? It was just as illegal then as now. The bill should be paid, and without any more horse play or monkey business.

V. hopes that "Andy" Crawford will not be driven out of town, despite tbe fact that be is a councilman as well as president of tbe old light company. He is a pretty good kind of a fellow, and on account of this he should be allowed to stay here.

Talking about Russell Harrison, he got a bill through the legislature yesterday, empowering street railroad companies in cities of oertain size to use eleotrioity or steam motive power. What do you think of thai,! Steam cars ou our street car lines! It is said to be A move to permit the handling of coal for the street car and electric light plants at a cheaper figure than at present. If tbe use of steam is attempted, however, Q. V. propheoies that Mr. Harrison will find that he will have more than Mayor Ross or A J. Crawford to fight—be will have the people.

Senator C. Porter JohosoO,Who was formerly an ambitious young lawyer in this oity, short on praotloe but long on push, Is now a Democratic member of the Illinois state senate. He made a sensation in that body this week when he introduced a resolution demanding an investigation of the charges of corruption in the municipal and county governments of Chicago, whsre it Is said the recent passage of ordinance* granting valuable privileges was procured by corruption. The Senator probably wants to pose as Chloago's Lexow.

The city charter has gone glimmering —as was expected, despite Senator Sic Lean's heroio work in the.upper body, which resulted in its almost unanimous passage, and which caused bim to thank his Republican colleague® for helping him out. The elective police commission, whether composed of one or three men, was never a popular idea. The one thing the people of Terre Haute have relied upon tbe legislature doing for is to rid them of the pTOfceul polled Octroi. They were not very particular in what way it was accomplished, only that it should be done. The eleventh hour amendment prepared by the committers of nine, providing that three commissioners shall be elected by tbe people, was a "home rule" measure, but its effect was so plain that it gave no prom he of relief. The "good citizens" will "reso

lute" and condemn, but they won't get ^ou lose It entirely.

dead morally certain that under that

law, the present police control WOWjd be continued. ______ There was universal regret expressed this morning at the announcement that the metropolitan police bill had been defeated, by the governor's veto, and the subsequent failure to secure a constitutional majority in the senate to pass it over his veta. His ohief objection was that it is unconstitutional ia recognizing but two political parties in tb® appointment of members of tbe force. The same rule is enforced in the present law, Under whioh Governoi Matthews appointsthe commissioners. The result Ib that the present system will continue, and there will be great rejoicing among the fiiends of the management. On Claude Matthews, therefore, the honest farmer" Governor, will rest the odium of having deprived the people of Terre Haute of the ohauoe to rid themselves of a police system that has become nuto' rious. _______

FIRST LODGE FOR WOMEN.

T^e Eastern Star Will Celebrate IU Flfteeuth Anniversary.

One of the very first societies ever Organized in whioh women were admitjgrti to membership was the Order of Hie Eastern Star. It is not, properly speaking, a side degree of Masonry^ but the qualifications of membership is that male members must be Masons, while a female member must be either the wife, mother, sister or daughter of a Mason.

The first local chapter of the Eastern Star was organized a great many years, ago, but for some reason interest in it died out, and the oharter. was surrendered.

In March, 1880, the Chapter was reorganized and instituted and next Tuesday night, aa entertainment will be given at Masonic hall oommemorative of the fifteenth anniversary.

The oharter members of Terre Haute Chapter No. 43, were thirty eight in number. The names of these charter members are given below,the asterisk showing those who are deceased: Van Valzah*, Albert Maginnls*, Mrs." Mary C. Maginnis lsaac Bail, Mrs.'Caro^ line Ball, Chas. W. Duddleston*, Mrs. H. M. Duddleston, Henry M. Ballew*, Mrs. Hylinda Ballew, John K. Graff, .Mrs. Aiice C. Graff, Robt. Taggart, Mrs. Mary Taggart, Max Joseph, Mrs. Fanny Joseph, Euos Strouse, Mrs. Lottie Strouse, Uriah Shewmaker, Mrs. Rebeooa Sbewmaker, John T. Merry., Mrs. Emma E. Merry, L. Goodman, sr., Mrs. Judith Goodman, Luther Burge*, Mrs. Eliza Burge*, Joshua Glover, jr., John Abbott, Jehu Johns*, Mrs. Elizabeth Johns, Lee Hirsoh, Mason L. Rallsback, Mrs. Sarah L. Railsback, Miss Allie Rallsback, Chas. Epplngbousen, Mrs. Christina Epping bousen, Asa M. Black*, A. N. Smith and Miss Sarah E. Allen. The following officers were eleoted and installed on the evening of March. 9, '1$80:

Worthy Patron—R Van VafeahV Worthy Matron—Mrs. Alice 0. Graff. Associate Matron—Mrs, Judith Goodman.

Conductress—Mrs. Caroline Ball. Associate Conductress—Mrs. Mary Maglnnls.

Secretary—S.E.Allen. Treasurer—Mrs. H. M. Ballew. Adah—Mrs. Lottie Strouse. Esther—Mrs. Mary Taggart. Mrs. Martha—Emma E. Merry. Electa—Mrs. Sarah Railsback. Warder—Mrs. H. M. Duddleston. Sentinel—John Abbott. Tbe present membership of the obap ter Is 208, making it the largest in the state.

Three times Terre Haute Chapter has been honored by highest office in the •rder in tbe state. Robert Van Valzah was elected Grand Patron in 1881, Mrs. AnnaV. Lakin Grand Matron In 1886, and Hirs. Eva M. Hollinger Grand Ma* tron in 1890. Mrs. Hollinger is also an officer in tbe General Qrind Chapter ef the United States which oonvenes at Boston this summer during the Knights Templar conolave.

It is a fact that during the fifteen year* of the chapter's existence it has had but three treasurers, Mrs. H. M. Ballew the ftrst two years, Mrs. E. E. Merry the ten years following, and Mrs. Helen L. Reynolds for three years past. A still more notable fact is that Miss 8. E. Allen, who was elected secretary at the institution of the chapter, has held it continuously since that time, a testimonial to her efficiency and accuracy of which she may justly feel proud.

An anniversary so notable will be appropriately observed by the members next Tuesday evening.

In court her lawyer said she was worth nearly 950,000 and produced eight bank books which showed she had nearly $8,000 to her oredit, besides owning three farms in Cortland county and two houses in Albany. He asked the court to release the fraud. His honor declined and sent her up for vagrauoy.

Tbe largest publishing business in this country is carried on by tbe government Itself. About 1,000,000 books are turned out annually and also, for tbe most of tbe year, the largest and stupidest daily paper in tbe world, known as the Congressional Record.
