TERRE HAUTE, IND., JUNE I, 1895.

THE MAIL'S QUARTER CENTENNIAL On June 29th The Mai! will oelebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary, and will make the oooaslon notable by issuing a special number that will surpass in typographical appearance and contents any paper ever before published in this city. It will consist of twenty pages, including a cover, and the title page of the latter will be engraved eepecially for this event, from an original design. The paper will be printed on elegant super-calendered book paper, and will be illustrated by half-tone outs of Terre Haute's representative business and professional men, publio buildings, etc., and will make a souvenir long to be treasured The preliminary work already done has met wiih uiuch encouragement, and justifies the publishers in the statement that it will far surpass anything ever before attempted here.

Coming, as it will, the Saturday before the Charity Circus, will afford an opportunity of doing much good for that notable entertainment, which promises to eclipse any thing of the kind that has ever been given by Terre Haute talent. The paper will therefore be known as the "Quarter Centennial and Charity Circus Editiou" of Toe Mail. Samples of the cuts, paper, etc. to be used in this special edltio may be

THE new women has evidently arrived in Chicago, where two policemen are laid up with injuries caused by being run over by lady bicyclists, who were violating city ordinances in riding at night, without lanterns.

THE gates of Castle Garden have not been swinging inward so frequently during tho hard times as before. In 1893 603,000 immigrants came to this oonntry. In 1894 the number was 314,000, a falling of! of 1S9,000

BEAKS and chrysanthemums do not go together with those of aesthetic tastes, but they are likely to come together if we may believe all we hear from the war correspondents about Russian encroachments on Japanese territory.

NOT many men are able to lay up this world's treasures in politics, as is evidenced by the fact that the late exQovernor Chase left his wife without means of support. She is an invalid, and the public is being called upon to contribute towards a fund for her support. It is a very worthy object, and the projectors of the fund deserve hearty encouragement.

THK greatest thief catcher of his day, Superintendent Byrnes, of the New York police department, has been retired, as a result of the new administration of affairs there. It may not be true that it takes a thief to catch a thief, but it i* worthy of note that although he has urn drawn a fabulous salary he retires with an income of some twenty thousand dollars a year.

IT will no doubt be considered worthy of comment that President Cleveland found time to come out to Chicago to attend the funeral of Secretary Gresham, while he found it impossible to leave his official duties long enough to attend the funeral of vice-President Hendricks. Mr. Gresham was one of Mr. Cleveland's appointees, however, while the people named Mr. Hendricks, and that may explain the situation.

THAT mob law is not very good law Is shown by the fact that while a mob in Danville, 111., hung two men who were charged with a heinous crime against a woman, but who bad not been given a trial, another mob in Maryland broke into a jail and hanged a murderer who was under sentence of death for bis crime. If there Is any excuse for lynch law, it is when the courts have failed In their duty. There oan be no excuse when the law has bad no chance to pun Ish, and least of all is there an excuse when a penalty has been fixed in keeping with the crime.

State, died very suddenly at Washington last Tuesday morning, and was buried at Chicago on Decoration Day with all the pomp and ceremony to which bis position and rank entitled bim. His death has been productive of columns upon columns of eulogies, but all of them together could not say more of him than that he was an honest man a brave one, and one who followed his

obnvloilonv wherever they led htm. An a soldier, judge aud a cabinet otfioer he made uls mark on the pag«* of hi* country's history, and whatever step# bia disappointed ambition may have Induced him to uke in recent year#, will be leniently overlooked by those of his friends whom he seemingly deserted.

FORTY counties In this state are said to be delinquent in their settlements with the state, as a result of the contention over the fee and salary laws, The county treasurers have refused to settle because the state auditor, aotlng under instructions from the attornery geneial, held that they were not entitled to fees—that there was no law in force governing the compensation of treasurers, aud that unless the county commissioners saw fit to allow them pay there was no way by which they oouid get oompenaation. It is said that If the counties do not settle soon the state benevolent Institutions will be without money. The new salary law will go in to effect tu about two weeks, but the embarrassing situation will not be relieved because by an oversight it does not allow the treasurers and auditors any compensation. The governor still refuses to oall a special seasion to oorreot the errors for fear that, some political advantage may be lost to himself and his party if he reconvenes the Republican legislature. In the meantime the 8tate's dependents can go hungry, while her politicians are sparring for an opening.

where Information will be gladly furnished regarding it

JR. of this state is engaged

in an effort to secure the use in the publio sohools of the state of a sohool history that will do justioe to the union side in the late rebellion. It is claimed that the histories now in use are calculated to give false impressions of the courage, heroism aDd achievements of the contending armies that they never bint that the men who fought for the union were right that eulogism throughout is plastered on confederate brQWs that they are unreliable that they, in certain oases, falsify the facts of history, and have ample space to speak flatteringly of Lee, Jackson and other rebels, but no room to give commonplace notices to union generals. The G. A. R. at its last annual meeting appointed a committee to confer with the state board of education in the effort to secure a change in the text books, and a meeting will be held July 1st to consider the matter. Similar etlorts have been made in other states to retire histories that do a seeming injustice to the heroes of the successful army in the greateet war in history, and every patriotic citizen will wish the old soldiers success in their undertaking.

THE Foraker people seem to have the whip hand in the politics of Ohio this year, as they dominated the state convention at Zanesville this^ week, and nominated a state ticket that is composed of energetic adherents of the ex-governor. Governor McKinley's candidacy for president was endorsed, as was that of Mr. Foraker for United States senator to succeed Calvin S. Brice. The Ohio Republicans have set the pace for the ad vocates of sound money, as their plat form declares in favor of bimetal lis ui, and demands "the use of both gold and silver as standard money, either in accordance with a ratio to be fixed by an international agreement, if that can be obtained, or under restrictions and such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will secure the maintenance of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal." The result of the fight in the convention between the Foraker forces and those allied against them will probably cause trouble before election time, and result in the election of a Demo cratic legislature and the return of a Democratic United States senator, as has been the case many times before. Ohio Republicans are not noted for any particular allegiance to favorite sons in national conventions, and Gov. McKinley will probably get the half-hearted support of the Ohio delegates that has resulted in the defeat of John Sherman in his race for the presidential nomination in former conventions. Jealousy rather than loyalty to* her candidates seems to be the chief characteristic of Ohiolans when it comes to making presidential timber.

ON A SILVER BASIS,

Colonel CoekeriU Say* Japan Will Change Her Currency. If there Is any number of peopl the Uuited States laboring under the fcapre&siou that Japan is likely to go from a silver to a gold basis a result of tho war and the levying of ft heavy tax upon China, they may as well dismiss the subject from their minds, Tho Chinese indemnity is to be paid in silver and in installments, and Japan is no more qualified to adopt a old stnudard now than the was last J1 The new miniver of finance, Count Mutsugnta, is understood to be a "goldbug of very pronounced character, likewise mnny of the native merchants and tradesmen of this city. But the conditions now are such that Japan cannot do otherwise than remain in the guild of silver countries.

As for the Chinese indemnity, Count Okuma suggests that it should be expended very largely to the glory of Japan. He would invest 100,000,000 yen in foreign bouds, convertible into speoie at will, and deposit them in the treasury as a contingency fund. He would employ 80,000,000 yen in repaying the loan of the Bank of Japan. He would set aside a fund for a great World's fair in Tokyo five years hence, would permanently endow the Imperial university, and the remainder of the indemnity he would distribute among the various districts of the realm to form permanent funds "to reward the services rendered by the people of the state and to encourage further faithfulness and loyalty on their part" The count wonld meet the expense of an increased navy with the ordinary revenue.

The entire cost of the war to Japan is estimated at 100,000,000 yen, and about half as much more will be expended in bringing the troops home and garrisoning the territory aoquired. The Japanese during the war captured from tho Chinese one heavy ironclad, two oruisers, nine gunboats and eight torpedo boats, the total value being something like 14,000,000 yen, or $7,000,000. When the Ting-Yuen, the Lai-Yuen and the Ching-Ynen, sunk in Wei-Hai-Wei harbor, are raised and repaired, the Japanese will have added to their navy by the war 15 men-of-war and eight torpedo boats.—John A. Cockerill in New York Herald.

Goodwin on a wheel and in bloomers ought to be fairly familiar to the people of Chicago by this time. Daring his recent engagement at Hooley's he was out riding every morning and afternoon. There is not -a mo^ enthusiastic bicyclist in the country. It has become his sole hobby. Whether in the lobby, cafe, parlor, barroom, bedroom or dining room his friends say be tallra of nothing else.

Telephone as an Alarm Clock.

A Portland business man has hit on a new scheme for being awakened at the proper time in the morning, which he declares beats any alarm clook that ever was invented. He has his telephone in his bedroom, and each night when about to retire he calls up the central office and requests the operator to call him up at a designated hour in order to find if the phone'' works properly. Promptly. at that hour the bell rings loudly, and he is awakened with neatness and dispatch. He claims that the servioe thus rendered is alone worth the annual rental of the telephone.—Boston fierfilfl.

A Prosperous Business. The firm of J. N. Hickman A Bro has just completed a building of the most modern conbtruction. The building is three stories height, built of the best quality of bri9k and stone*and is located at 1212 Main street. The building was built expressly for the undertaking business of the new firm, it being the best and largest building in the eastern part of the oity. It is besides a good business center, a oredit to east Terre Haute, and residents of the east end should be proud of the building, and the advancement of the eastern- part of the city. On last evening the firm placed in the window an elegant casket, richly trimmed, and something different from anything brought to this oity. The firm has just received a new wbite car, built by A. E. Herman, of this city. The funeral car is of a snowy whiteness, an«$ second to none. The trimmings are of the richest imaginable. The plan of the ear is of the very latest modern pattern. Both inside and out the trimmings are of tbe best, of heavy white worsted Bullion fringe. Besides being a finer car than ever was in this city, it was built here at home, and our neighbors and patrons were employed to build it. Tbe idea of the firm has been to spend their money in Terre Haute and patronize home industry.as the firm has always in the past twenty years' residence here patronized home industry. It is a wise idea, as it gives their patrons employment. Mr. A. E. Herman, of Tenth and Main streets, who built the firm's new white car, is building a dead wagon for the firm that promises to be something different, and a model wagon of the kind. This firm now bfls the two places, 306 and 1212 Main street, completed, and all calls will, have prompt attention day or night. A lady attendant constantly on hand.

Now, since the hot weather has started in, we are very anxious to dispose of our entire stock 'bf suits for Men, Boys and Children. We have concluded to make a big reduction on every suit in our house. Give us a look before buying elsewhere. Baseball and bat free with every boy's suit.

One of the most popular places in the city Is the office of the Merchants' Premium Co at 652 Main street, where are «Mpp1»ypd the several classes of premiums offered in connection with their plan of giving away absolutely free many articles for home, adornmept. They offer as premiums, elegant oil paintings in handsome gold frames, crayon portrait in many styles of frames, elegant books, including the workB of the most popular authors.

An explanation of their plan of work will prove of interest in this connection. The managers are employed* by nearly one hundred merchants, in forty-eight retail lines, to place their business on a proper and friendly footing with the families of this city. To do this the merchants pay each week an amount whioh will cover the entire cost of the premiums,and other expenses of the company. Tbe premiums may be obtained in a very short time by any one. Each merchant has a block of stamps, gummed and perforated, and be will give to everyone asking for them one stamp for eaeh ten cents in your purchase. On aiten cent purchase you get one stamp, sixty cent purchase six stamps, and so on. These sumps you take home and insert in the small book which the company furnisheB everyone free, and when you have your book filled any article which you select from their stock ot premiums is yours, entirely free. Taking into consideration that grooers, meat markets, clothing men, milliner*, and, in fact, you might say all trades are represented, the best in their respective lines in the city, it will not take long for every family in the city of Terre Haute to have one of these beautiful premiums.
