TERRE HAUTE. INIX, MAY 18,1895.
Litilk Delaware ha« uhly one United States senator, but her p«M0h crop la all right, and her people tre supremely happy.
Tub result of the next Republican national oonvention oaunotbe definitely foretold at this time, Jjut one thing can safely be propheoled, and that is that Walter Q, Qresham will not get any votes in it.
It is not likely that Benjamin Harrison will suffer for the necessities of life If he falls to get a job as president next year. A recent important will case in Riohmond brought him a $15,000 fee, which will probably enable him to keep the wolf from the door until Christmas1,
A refokmed baseball player who is now an evangelist, made five hundred men weep at one time recently in Ottawa, Ills. This may be considered as going from one extreme to another, as be has had as high as ten times five hundred men swearing at him at one time when he was a ball player.
Thk veterans who are objecting to the dedication of a confederate soldiers' monument at Chicago on Decoration Day, are probably led to their objections by the thoughts of the difficulties Union soldiers would have in dedicating a monument on conftderate decoration day in Richmond, or Atlanta, where objections were raised to the entertain mentoftbeG. A. in national convention, because, forsooth, some of the 6. A. men are "niggers
Carnegie pronounced Carnage-y— has advanced his workmeu's wages ten per cent., the first raise they have had since the disastrous Homestead strike of 1892, which with its terrible consequences cost the Republican party a president. Everybody will be glad to bear of the workmen's good luck except those editors whose sole stock of trade' is abuse of Carnegie. They have depicted him as such a fiend that thny will not believe the story unless they see the ten per cent, in hard oash.
Ex-Pkbsident Harrison is in New York City on a pleasure trip, and we will bear a great deal of rot about his trip being made for the purpose of com lng to terms with Boss Piatt for New York's support in the national convention next year. The damage to the fruit crop in the Empire state may divert the correspondents'attention from this matter for a brief time, but they'll round up with a choice lot of sensational stories about the ex-presidenfr before he places his foot on his native heath again,
There is a Daniel come to judgment In New Jersey, and he deserves a handsome medal. In the Paterson police court the other day a prisoner charged with drunkenness sat smoking a cigarette, and the act aroused the ire of the judge. He called the prisoner up and said: "I consider the charge of drunkenness against you subordinate to that of smoking cigarettes in oourt. I intend to make an objeot lesson of you for the benefit ef other young men. Your sentence is Qve days for drunkenness, and thirty more for smoking cigarettes."
Not every minister has the courage of the Catholic priest in St. Louis, who refused admission to his churoh of the body of a very prominent member of his parish, who was killed by bis mistress In a questionable resort. He resisted all manner of personal, social and polltloal infiuenoe brought to hear on him, because as he said, the man died in open, publio sin. It was rather severe on the friends and family of the dead man, but no doubt it will have abetter effect than a display of almost maudlin sentimentality that often marks snoh occasions, and makes a hero and a martyr out of a man who is barely removed from a criminal.
Thb life of ex Governor Chaee, whose death occurred in Maine on Saturday, furnished another illustration of the faet that a preacher is out of his element when he becomes a politician. Had he been a plain private cHlsen instead of an ex-governor, bis name would never bave been needed by bank sharks who used it to perpetrate frauds that mined him financially and undeservedly caused him to be criticised for bank wrecking when he was an innocent man. This unjust criticism" threw a shadow over his life, and no doubt hastened the end of a career that was honorable and upright. He was not a great man, bnt a good one, which is more to bis credit, for goodness leaves more "footprints In the sands of time" thar. greatness.

governor down there has just lmd a bad tantruui, like a naughty little boy In the nursery, because an United States oourt has declared the South Carolina dispensary and registration law* to bo unconstitutional, He abuses the judges in language that would sound in place In a bar room, but is hardly appropriate In a state document, and has a narrow escape from the rabies when he refers to the outrage that has beeu perpetrated upon the people by the decision that "places the ballot In the hands of every man, while or blaok, of the age of twenty-one years." We read such tirades as this, and still we wonder at ......
Thkrk were not many regreta expressed at the announcement that the Supreme oourt of this state had decided as constitutional the law passed in 1893, Intended especially to reach the Western Union telegraph company, oompeling it to pay a just share of the taxes. Prior to the passage of this law the oompany paid but a small amount of taxes on the value of its buildings and real es t-ue, without any reference to the num ber of miles of line it maintained in the state. Under the law that has just been passed upon, however, it is assessed ao cording to Its mileage. The State Board of Tax Commissioners under the new law assessed the corporation #8$7 a mile on over 6,500 miles of line, making the total assessmont in the State $2,342,991, but the oomp*ny refused to pay taxes on this amount, claiming that the law was unconstitutional. The express companies, railroads, Bleeping oar oompanles have ea in turn attacked'the validity of the tax law, and all have had as poor sucooss as the great monopoly in the attempt just closed.
The people of Central Illinois have been mnob exorcised over the question of alien ownership of land, and there has been much agitation over the matter, and some legislation but seemingly without effeot, as the foreign landlords continue in their holdings, without interruption. The Supreme oourt of the state, In a decision handed down this week, puts a stop to an Inorease in the number of alien land owners, by heritage at least. It is probably the first oase of the kind passed upon by a higher oourt, and is therefore of considerable interest. A former wealthy resident of Springfield left a will giving all his property to a nephew in Ireland. Two nephews living in the same county petitioned to have the will set aside under the plea that the devisee was an alien and could not inherit the property, and that they, as next of kin and oitizens of the United States, wore the legal heirs. The court granted the petition -ind entered a decree in their favor. The case was then appealed to the Supreme oourt which has affirmed the deeision of the lower court. A number of states have passed laws forbidding inheritance of real estate by aliens, and the Supreme oourt of tbe land will no doubt be called upon to pass on the question. That it is a question of vital interest, especially in the western states, is shown by the fact that 20,000,000 acres of American land are owned in England and Scotland alone, and besides this there is a Holland syndicate owning 5,000,000 and a German association owning 2,000,000, making 27.000,000 acres of land, the proceeds of whioh, whatever they may be, go to foreign countries. Most of these large holdings are located at the west, and many of them embraoe the oboicest grazing and. agricultural lands In, the country.
W Catarrh Cannot be Cared

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the olood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of tbe best physicians in this country for years, and- is a regular prescription.
