The corn Is laughing in very glee these hot July days, and every laugh la worth dollars to the hank account of the farmers.
The Indianapolis club lost two straight games last week, and did not complain of the umpire, which is notable enough to go on record.
The fool killer can find something to do at all klmen, even in such an enllght ened state as Indiana. A Wabash county father this week gave his consent to the marriage of his thirteen year old daughter to a boy of eighteen
From th« manner in which marked copies of ba -k uumbers of ea*t*-ru pap- rs containing Gov. McKiuley's speeches are being went broadcast, it begins to looicaaif the Ohio candidate'* literacy bureau is in good working order.
The sporting editors who have been talking about the 2:00 minute horse, will be in Terre Haute on the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th of August. 1895, for the very good reason that the 2:00 minute horse will in ail probability make bis appearance here on one of the days named. fl*
WHEN Governor Matthews was asked toy an eastern reporter recent)v whom lie thought would be the next Democratic candidate for president, the gov* ernor in a meditative-manner replied: "Despite the drought I think Indiana will have one of the iargeat corn crops on record."
It seems very strange to an outsider that in Indianapolis, where itis claimed the laws are more strlotiy enforced than in any other city in the state, the police -will permit the publication and circulation of a sensational paper that the poli.ee in Other cities in the state are suppressing for its obscenity.
It took a Democratic judge in Sullivan oounty just one minute to decide the apportionment law passed by the last legislature to be unconstitutional, which ehows that he is a just and upright judge of towering ability. A man of less ability would necessarily have taken more time to investigate the ^natter.
Thb government has officially refused to sanction Sunday labor, in declining to alio# per diem to government examiners in a Montana land offioe for work they were required to do on the first day of the week. $eoretary Hoke Smith, in disallowing the .claim, said that Sunday is not a day for labor, and that he is not authorised td pay for work done on that day. *'^5
It would seem that age (beginning tp telf on John Sherman. In a recent interview he named the Republican presi denlial pOwslbiUles as follows: Governor McKinley, Senator AUisr.n and Thos. B. Reed. With his failing memory, always a sign of advanced
Age,
he forffH to name
one Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, who who will win the next year's nomination hands down, as the sporting writers would say.
W. H. Haavky, author of "Coin's Financial School," and ex Congressman Roswell G. Horr are engaged in a discussion of the silver question in Chicago, in a series of three minute talks, in which the Coin writer defends his position, while Mr. Hoar attacks the free silver theories of the other. The press associations are furnishing full and ao--enrate reports of the speeohes, but it is doubtful whether many persona have the time to read such reports. The indications are that the debate will end in personalities that will neither be creditable to the gentlemen concerned or of benefit to the cause each la espousing.
Wu are likely to get into some diplomatic complications with Franoe, as a result of the attitude of that government in refnalng permission to oar ambassador to Inquire into the cage of John Waller, who was convicted by a French court martial In Mada gascar, and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment for th^- part be took in the trouble the French government Is having wflh ttie tistlve rulers of that Island. Ambassador Eustls was instructed by the state department to Inquire into the case, get Walter's side of the controversy, %nd alao-gat a oopy of the evidence on which he was (Km* vksted. The ambassador reports that he was denied an 'interview with the prisoner who Is confined in a prise* In France, and also refused a copy of the evidence. It is cfcrtainly a case where a .cttlcen of the United States te denied bis
tights, and it remain* to be seen whether or not the proper ofiiolala concerned will have the backbone to toilet that he given a fair hearing, If they have not tit© atam na to do ao, It seems probable that citizens of this country intending to go into business in foreign lands will be compelled to renounce their allegiance to Uncle Sam, and become oHlsona of soms other country that will protect iti rights when assailed in this manner,
Aw» things come to the man who waits. "Boss" Shepherd, who left Washington some twenty years ago under a oloud went back again this week, and was received with distinction by some of the men who were calling him a disgraceful and expensive boodler when he left, but are willing to give him oredlt a* being the man who made theoapital the beautiful oity it is by his comprehensive plans of publle improvement. Now they are anxious to give him credit for being faraighted In laying the plana for making Washington one of the moat beautiful olties in the world. Sinoe he left there he lia» been looated in Mexico, develop^ log his large mining interests which have made him a wealthy man, who can look with disdain upon those who ma linged him in the years gone by.
Thb Kansas senator—the author of the Pefferian brand of whiskers—does not seem to be entirely satisfied with the prospects of the Popnlist party, of which he Is a leadiiiK member, for he wants to organize anew one, a party, he says, to do work that the other parties are not fit to do. He wants to organise his new party on tha following broad platform: "(l)Get the people at work pay them for what they do (2) away with landlordism (3) out with the transportation monopoly (4) down with the money power (5) up with the people (6) live the republic." The senator wants the motto of the party.to be "Let the people rule," as if the people had not been ruling—in a pretty bad way, too, sometimes, when aiictf theoristo as Peffer break into the most prominent legislative body in the world.
People who assume that the daily newspaper la of overwhelming importance in the newspaper field ^111 be surprised to read the following, quoted from Geo, P. Rowell fc Co.'s "American Newspaper Direotory," a standard authority in such matters: "Of all publications, the weekly is the most popular. The monthly stauds next in public favor, and the daily comes third. To show £he comparison more In detail, it may be stated that nearly seventy-five percent, of all the periodicals appear weekly, eleven per cent, appear monthly, only nine per cent, daily. When considered by the comparative total out-put for a single issue, the weekly is still a$ead, having having over fifty-six per cedt. of the total issue the monthly is still second, having over twenty-one per pent the dally continues to be third, with a fraotion over sixteen per cent. «.
The quarter-centennial souvenfr..edltloQ of the Terre Haute Majl is one of the* mOS excellent examples of modern journalism of the many that have recently commanded The Courier's attention and admiration. Its typographical appearance is a feast for printers and others with an eye for art, and the contents are preoented in a moat attractive manner. The Mail has long enjoyed an extended reputation for the literary ability displayed in its columns, and the success it has achieved is well merited. —Lafayette Courier.
The Terre Haute Saturday Evening Mail celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary by printing a Charity CirouB Edition. It Is a sixteen page paper with a handsome cover and is profusely illustrated with half tone portraits of the prominent men of the Prairie City. The Mail has had a successful career mainly from the fact that it ba* always been in good bands. Its founder was Maj O J. Smith, now at the head of the Amerioan Press Association, and his successor was the late Perry Westfall, both born newspaper men. Since Mr. Westfall's death bis son has had the management of the paper, who has had associated with him some of the best newspaper talent of Western Indiana. The edition celebrating its silver anniversary is a creditable stroke of enterprise.—Crawfordaville Journal.
OBITUARY.
On Tuesday last, at 10:20 a. m., Mrs. Wm. Long, after an illness of many months' duration, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Jas. Caughlin, on Eagle street.
Though death was expected from a complication of diseases and general wearing out of the system, it came suddenly at last{ and, like one sleeping, she passed away so quietly that the watchers could scarcely know when the soul had gone.
Sinoe the death of her beloved husband In Dec. 189S. this devoted wife never left her bed of suffering and .all who witnessed her patience during the weary months of waiting for the end could not but be glad that time does not always last and that an eternity of fullets recompense awaits God's servants after probation here.
To the loving, self-sacrificing daughter, Rose, particularly, the oonstantnurse of both parents during years of affile tion, the deepest sympathy of friends Is extended. The very helplessness of her loved ones and their dependence on her faithful ministrations have caused stronger bonds than ordinary to be drawn, and now she Is desolate, even while knowing her dear dead are at rest.
Mrs. Long, though born In Ireland in 1824¥ *?a* thoroughly Amerioan in everything except faith, and In this she was a genuine daughter of the Isle of Saints.
She was only three months of age when her parents left Ireland tor Amer*

In 189^ upwards of 100,000 watche£ were import-' ed into Japan, and 83,000 in 1894, mostly from Switzerland.
