TERRE HAUTE. IND., JUNE 15, 1895.

ANOTHER funny man has gone wrong. Ex-Governor Peck, of Wlsoonsln, author of "Peck's Bn4, Boy," is going on the lecture platform. "V

HAVING settled the tariff question to their own entire satisfaction the commencement orators are now settling the silver question just as conclusively.

Two dollar bills are likely to be more than ordinarily popular in the QQming campaign in Ohio. Calvin S. Brice announces that he will be a candidate for re-election as senator.

CLOSE students of the political alphabet have no trouble in making out the first letter in the name of the next Republican candidate for president. It is Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana.

THE Democratic party is not in as dire straits as some of its enonoies would make us believe. Ex Congressman W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, "the boy orator of the Platte," threatens to leave it.

THE furniture trust is going to advance the price of a certain class of furniture to a point where there will be a living profit. Some of the worklngmen who have to buy furniture would like to see wages advance to a point where there would be a living profit, also.

SENATOR TDRIUE, whose fame rests on the fact that he speaks seven languages, made a free silver speech in one language at the Memphis convention thi-* week. The senator does not often do or say anything to attract national atten tion, and the Memphis speech can hardly be said to have been an exception to the rule.

MAYOR A. T. HERT, of Brazil, is to be the warden of the Indiaua penitentiary (south) under the new board of directors chosen by the Republican state officers He will probably enter upon his duties about July 1st. "Toba" Hert, as all the boys call him, is a vigorous and popular business man, a plucky politician and a jovial good fellow. The Mai! trusts all the appointments mude will give the satisfaction thnt Warden Herb's dues.

IT is time that the "nevv'^ women of Indiana were banding together to assert their rights. Over in Illinois, the other day, a court fined a man one hundred dollars for kissing a woman agaiDbt her will, and in Indianapolis one day this week, another man was fined five dollars for the same offense. Is this to be taken as an official declaration that an Illinois woman's kisses are twenty times more precious than those of a Hoosier belle's.

Trie movement that was set on* foot in many of the legislatures last winter looking to the abolishing of the pass system among members of legislatures had a very convincing argument in ittr behalf furnished this week, when it was discovered that a couple of the members of the recent Colorado legislature had been renting their passes to traveling men for use in their business. Their constituents must feel very proud of such representatives.

THE Mail regrets to announce that Evgene V. Debs will not appear as one of the ringmasters in Terre Haute's great Fourth of July attraction, the Charity Circus, although when he made the engagement to thns appear it was with the provision that Judge Woods should acquiesce in the arrangement. Judge Woods may be A very nice man, but he is clearly in the wrong when be taken one of the attractions away from an entertainment that has for its object the doing of great good.

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS thinks the Indiana supreme court is altogether wrong in its decision against his position in the controversy over the appointment of the boards of directors of the prisons. The court is Democratic, and it may be that its decision against the Demooratio position on this question Is to be considered as a forethought in the way of establishing a reputation for being nonpartisan in its construction of the lat?. Other partisan legislation is to be passed upon which will involve more serious results to the Democracy, the legislative apportionment law, for Instance*

THU Supreme court on Thursday administered a knock out blow t© Governor Matthews in his contention that be alone had the power to appoint directors of the state's prisons, declaring that the law passed by the last legislature, placing tbe appointment of directors In the bands of a board composed of state offloers, ia constitutional. As a result of this decision the board appointed by tbe state officers for tbe two prisons will stand good, and Cbaa. Harley will take the position of warden of the prison north. It is said that tbe board named by tbe state offloers for tbe prison sonth

mmrnmmmmm li

will name Mayor A. T. Hert, of Brasil as warden to etioeeed J. B. Pettoo, the Sullivan oouqty man who baa been hold log the place for several years. Both of theae appointments are looked upon as being unusually strong, politically and otherwise. ..

CITIZENS of the United States may sympathise to their hearts'content with the unfortauate Cuban revolutionists who are endeavoring to wrest their little island from the dutches of Spain, but they must not take any aotive part in the hostilities, making this country base for their operations. The president Issued a proclamation this week warding all citizens against a violation of the neutrality laws, and instructing the proper offloers to enforce the laws and punish violation thereof. This step was neoesitated by the reports that flllibus tering expeditions were organising in Florida for the purpose of attacking the Spanish forces in Cuba. Therefore while we may sympathize with the revolu tionists in their seemingly hopeless struggle, we must not allow our sym pithy to lead as into anything violent, at least while we are under Uncle Sam's flag-

THE last Sunday in this month is to be made notable all over the country t}y the National Christian Citizenship league, a Chicago organization that dates its existence from March last year Through its eff rts it is expected that on the Sunday before the great national holiday 100,000 sermons will be preaohed in the United States on the text of Christian oitizeuship. Theobjeot of the organization is to make christian principles operative in publio affairs and to secure harmony and aggressive aotion on the part of Christians all over the country in the line of municipal reforms. The Sunday in question was selected because it was thought that at that particular time, the national holiday so closely following, the people would be more given to patriotio thoughts than at any other time. The movement is meeting with success, and it is likely that the number of sermons that will be devoted to this subject will exceed rather than fall short of the number originally counted on*

THE conspiracy to disfranchise tbe negro voters of South Carolina has been upheld by the United States Circuit of Appeals at Richmond. The TillmanEvans crowd that has been running things with a high hand in South Carolina for a year or two past can now go ahead with their infamous scheme. The court did not pass on the case on iis merit8,.but ou a technical point, holding thirt there wa9 not a proper appeal in equity. It seems too bad that a case in yolving so many points of the greatest importance regarding that most priceless of all possessions, the right of franchise, should be thrown out of court on a mere techuioality, and there ought to be some way to secure justice. The leaders of the colored race in that state claim that^s a result of this decision the com ing constitutional convention will so limit suffrage that practically none of the negroes can vote, that the public sohool fund will be wiped out, and tbat the poll tax will be made HO great that the entire colored race will be practically disfranchised and that the means for becoming enfranchised will be denied them. Tbe leaders advise the wholesale emigration of the race to other southern states, and a convention will be held next month to consider this solution of tbe matter

A CHICAGO paper is endeavoring to feel the public pulse on tbe money question by coupon ballots, the right to vote in tbe contest belonging only to legal voters in tbe last election there. Thus far the people who believe In the free and unlimited coinage of silver, regardless of what other nations may do, seem to be In tbe lead. In a vote of some' thing over 10,000 tbe free silver people have cast 62 per cent, of the vote, while tbe single standard folks bavecastS2 per cent. It would seem, bowever, that the people generally do not take the interest in the matter that would naturally be expected when it is considered how many columns a day in tbe metropolitan papers are taken up in a discussion of this apparently all-important question. Over one hundred thousand votes were cast in the city of Chicago in the last election, and yet, although tbe contest has been in progress nearly three weeks, less than ten per cent, of tbe voters take enough interest in tbe matter to vote tbelr sentiments. There has been a great deal of talk about the money question being destined to make great changes in the party lines, bnt If this test Is to be taken as an indication, tbe great bulk of the voters will vote their party tleketa next year, and swallow their party platforms, whatever they may be, on the question of money.

THE reformers who have been dining it in onr ears for years past tbat this oountry was on tbe broad highway that leads down to the demnition bow-wows, tbat tbe rich were constantly growing richer and the poor poorer, will not find mn$h pleasure In reading an article contribnted to the onrrent number of the NorlH American Review, on tbe wealth of the United States by one of Great Britains foremost statisticians and economists. Tbe deduction be draws from an investigation do not bear out tbe assertions of tbe free trade reformera, who would have as open onr markets to all comers, and who would wipe all custom hoases out of existenoe. This eminent authority gives It as bis opinion, after a thorough investigation, tbat this oountry is tbe richest la tbe world, in material prosperity, in educational advantages and opportunities, and In everything tbat goes to make It possible lor men and women to enjoy life. He says, referring to onr ednoa-

tional statistics that, "it may be fearless ly asserted that In the history of tbe human raoe no nation ever before possessed 41,000,000 instructed oltieens. There is not much cause for oongratula tion to tbe pessimist in eualvan array of faots as these, for .be has been busily en gaged in trying to oonvinoe others what he believes himself, or thinks be be lieves, that the reverse of this condition exists. But like the man who g$ts pleasure out of tbe misery of a funeral he says that if the country has prospered so wonderfully under olrauopstanpfs that were all against her, whatoould not have been done if we bad been permitted tooompete with tbe whole world on even terms.
