TERRE HAUTE, IND., JULY 27, 1895.
MKSSRS. HORI* AND HAUVKY are still endeavor log to talk each other to death in Chicago, with the prospects very strong that each will fail in his mission.
THE outbreak of the Bannock Indians In Wyoming demonstrates anew the truth of Phil Sheridan's remark that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian."
ONB week from next Monday will begin the races over the famous Terre Haute track that will in all probability develop the long-looked-for two-minute horse.
THE silver debaters in Chicago are having a great deal to say about the "Crime of 1873," but they will go down into history as the perpetrators of the •'Crime of 1895."
LET us once more remark that the one real,
none
in
genuine-unless-the-trade-
ark-is-blown-lu-the-bottle summer resort in Indiana is Terre Haute, where the days are nice and pleasant, and the nights so cool that blankets are always in evidence.
THE age of miracles is upon us, and no mistake. An Iowa office holder, the state commissioner of labor, complains that the duties of his office do not give him enough to do to earn his salary, and therefore recommends that the office be abolished. It is very likely that a sanity commission will be appointed to sit upon him.
THERE have been a number of mys terious murders in this vicinity during the past few years that have never been oleared up, and it might be well to have thetn investigated again, with the view of laying them at the door of the man Holmes, the Pltzel murderer, who is being charged with every murder committed in the large cities for several years past. An exchange suggests that perhaps he is the mysterious man that "struck Billy Patterson."
IT is said that Carson. Nevada, is figuring on securing the Corbett Fitzsimmons fight, in case it can not take place in Texas. It is easily to be seen that this la a deeply-laid plan of Nevada people In preparing for a census. Three or four thousand persons drawn there by the fight would give them an increase of one hundred per cent, or thereabouts, in population, and would attract an attention that the little pocket borough does not ordinarily deserve.
IT is high time for the Democratic politicians to be inquiring, "What are we here for," when it is made known that there have been only three Democrats in the Allegheny, Pa., postoffice, and now they have been discharged for not properly doing their work. If they have any "kick" coming, however, they can console themselves with the thought that over in Clay oounty the other day, when a Democratic county clerk died, the Republican county commissioners elected a Democrat to take his place.
JOHN J. INOAI,M has discovered another iridlscent dream. He owned a farm near Kickapoo, Kansas, and recently had a chance to dispose of it. He took a buyer down to see it, expatiating upon its desirable qualities, and when he got there he couldn't find the farm It had been washed into the river five years ago. And all during that five years he had been paying taxes on it. It is said bis scathing remarks concerning Senator Voorhees were tame an coinpared to what fee said on this occasion.
THBdaysof the once powerful whisky trust are seemingly at an end. In the United States circuit court at Chicago this week Judge Showalter entered a final decree in the main suit, reaffirming all the acts of court In the litigation, and concluded by charging the reoelver to proceed to wind up the affairs of the oompany. The decree makee it possible to close up the business of the company by the 1st of October, and under the order of sale It is stipulated that the reorganisation committee shall prosecute the suit against Greenhut on aocount of the alleged fraudulent sale of bonds.
IT la confidently asserted that all the Democrats in Clay county are going to yote the Republican ticket at the next election, to show their appreciation of the work of the Republican county commiaslonera in electing a Dentt«rat to the position of oounty clerk, when they had a chance to put a Republican In the office, something that seldom happens In Clay oounty. It was real kind of the commissioners and their action will doubtless meet with the hearty approval of the Republican* over there who have been working bard for years, and getting very little reward for their labors
BvwniTtit the American people are ooming to their senses In abandoning the fad of turning money
pockets of every foreign dramatlo tip operatic star who visit* this country, no matter how meritorious they might he, Henry B. Abbey, who has brought mora of these stain to this country titan any other manager, says that alter the completion of the tour of Bernhardt next year, he will bring over no wore European stars speaking only in a foreign tongue, for the reason that such stare no longer draw well here, several of them having barely paid expense# lu recent years, It takes the American people along time to learn noma lessons, but when they do they learn thoroughly, and it Is to be hoped that is one that has been well-learned.
THIS press dispatches that oome to us telling of the overwhelming auocess of the government troops In their enoouu* ters with the Cuban rebels are evidently very highly colored, but the color Is of the kind that will not ataud washing. Every day or two we are told that a mere handful of Spanish troops ha? succeeded in defeating a big body of insurgents, with great destruction to the latter, and then the next day we are told that the home government is preparing to ship some 40,000 more well-equipped soldiers to Cuba to assist in putting down the rebellion. It Is easy enough to read between the lines and form the conclusion that the rebels are making more headway in their attempt to win the independence of Cuba than the Spanish government is willing to admit.
SOME of the metropolitan journals are insisting that the campaign managers of the leading parties get together and agree that the presidential oampalgn next year shall be an unusually short one, the conventions for nominating purposes to be held In September Instead of in May and June, as has been the custom for years. It is a plan 'that appeals strongly to the business interests, which suffer greatly each presidential year, suffer so greatly in faot that that has been one of the main arguments advanced for the proposed change by which a president will hold office for six years. A six weeks' presidential campaign would be a novelty, but then what are the "b'hoys" going to do if their harvest time is to be cut down from six months to six weeks. The leeches whose rent is always behind, and whose votes will be lost if it isn't paid, the men with sick wives and children, the men who want new shoes, eto., would have their perquisites very materially reduced if they are permitted only six weeks in which to make the rounds from one political headquarters to another. Such a ohange by the political managers would be an act of class legislation that should not be permitted.
Besides, some persons want to make politics such a mild affair that they will be suggesting after awhile that voting be done by telephone, and thus avoid the vulgar erowds that congregate about the polling places.
MARK TWAIN hasn't made the financial success in business that he did as a "funny man," and recent legal steps taken \?y his creditors show that he has lost the handsome fortune he derived from his writings. It is said that his earnings by the pen exceeded those of any other American writer, although Bronson Howard has made $200,000 in royalties on his plays, Miss Louisa Alcott derived §100,000 from her "Little Men" and "Little Women," Mrs.
Frances
Hodgson Burnett made $60,000 on "Little Lord Fauntleroy," and Mr. Blaine received $200,000 in royalties on his "Twenty Years in Congress." Yet Mark Twain's earnings went far beyond these figures. His royalties upon "The Innocents Abroad" reached $100,000 in less than three years, as has been reported, His royalties upon "The Gilded Age" were about $80,000, and It Is said John T. Raymond paid Mark Twain $60,000 In royalties* for the play dramatized from that story. His profits from "Tom Sawyer" reached far up into the thousands and were very large for "Roughing It" and "Life Upon the Mississippi." He did very well, too, with his "Prince and Pauper," and at one time he was estimated to have gained in all about $600,000 from his writings, and from his Investments so much more as to make him very nearly a millionaire. Now this princely fortune is swallowed up in unfortunate investments, and ho will be compelled to begin life over again, and go through the drudgery of hard work that is the every day occupation of others lees gifted and less fortunate In accumulating riches. He has the faculty, however, of being able to see the funny side of everything, and perhaps can console himself with the thought that it la better to have been rich and lost than ne'er to have been rich at all.

Mr*. Baker, of Dickinson Courthouse, Va., aged 60yeans, has just been appointed mail rider in her district, which la considered the wildest in Virginia.
Every other man you meet nowadays is anxious to discuss the currency question, but It is oot so attractive a nubjeot as that of saving money by buying your Summer Suit of Klewit A Holler, the merchant tailors, at 814 Main street. They have an unusually large line of goods to select from, their prices are reasonable, and their workmanship the mo«t artUtic. The man who desires to be well dressed will not order his suit until he has visited their popular plaoe.

WILLIAM R. HUNTER,
The community was greatly shocked this morning by the announcement of the death of Col. "Bob" Hunter, which occurred last night at his homo on Ohio street. But few knew that he was siok, and the sudden taking away of a man as well known as he was, whose hearty jovial manner, kind words and striking personality had made friends in every direotlon, will come as a keen personal loss to many outside the family atd the circle of immediate friends. Mr. Hunter had been far from well several months past, but he attended to business, and bad been at the office every day. Yesterday morning be was stricken with paralysis, whioh began in his right hand and gradually attacked his entire body, and finally at ten o'clook last night he passed away.
Deceased wm a native of Warren oounty, Tennessee, and was born in 1890. He removed with his family to Illinois when quite young, where his early life was spent. At the breaking out of the war be enlisted in the Twentyfirst Illinois regiment, whioh was Grant's first command, and served for over three year*, ooming oat with the rank of assistant quartermaster of ilia
regiment, In 1866 he purchased an In* terflft iw tbe business of Fouts Bros,, liverymen, aud the Arm beaame Fouts A Hunter, slnoe whioh time It has been one of the leading business establishments of the olty, For several years past the firm has devoted its attention to the manufacture of buggies, eto., the livery business having been sold to Will Hunter,
