TERRE HAUTE, IND., AUG. 10, 1895.

Thb reports of the last cent us will probably be out before work begins on tbe 1000 census. A statement was made this week that tbe Porter census, wbiob was more complete than any other ever attempted, baa cost thus far over ten million dollars.

A

The two minute horse didn't arrive In time for the race meeting this week, bat it is a sure thing that be will be here at the fall meeting of the Terre Haute Trotting Association next month. If be is developed this year it will be over the Terre Haute track.

IT hat taken Willie" Breckenridge a long time to discover that be vfas a baok number, but he has finally come to bis senses, and this week formally announced bis permanent retirement from politics. The "passing of the Breokenridge," which began with tbe Pollard suit roay now said to be complete.

The people of Kansas have stopped raising cain this year and turned their attention to something more profitable,* oorn, and in consequence the Sunflower state promises this year to have the greatest corn crop ever known in its history. It is asserted that the high water mark heretofore reached, 270^000,000 bushels, will be surpassed this year, authorities venturing the assertion that tbe total will reach the astounding figures of 400,000,000 bushels.

THE millions of dollars that have been poured into foreign lands in tbe effort to bring salvation to the heathens, may be said to have been wasted when we learn of tbe horrible outrages committed on our missionaries in China. The truth about the matter is that money and sympathy spent on the almond eyed strangers in far Cathay is thrown away. They are practically beyond the reaoh of civilizing influences, and tbe restrictions placed about their becomtng residents of this oountry are not yet strict enough. It ought to be possible to pass laws requiring those who now live here to return to their native land. Whether Christianized or uon Christianized they are deceitful, lying and disgusting, and their very presence here ought to be prohibited by law.

No better illustratlou of the dissension In tbe Democratic party on tbe money question could be furnished than in the two conventions held In Missouri and Iowa this week. In Missouri, where "Silver Dick" Bland was in full oontrol, the convention declared in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, without reference to the action of other nations, while In Iowa an entirely contrary action was taken. In that state a man was nominated for lieutenant governor because of his known sympathy for free silver, but it is said that he will decline to accept the nomination on a platform so widely at variance from his views. This is a somewhat novel sction on the candidate, for heretofore a plat-* form of a political party has been looked upon as simply something to "stand on."' In Mississippi a man was nominated for governor on tbe Democratic ticket who is at war with the administration on Its financial policy, the administration candidate being so badly defeated in the primaries that he out no figure in the convention. If the warring faction* get together on the silver qitestlou before the national convention of the party next year it will be a great surprise to the students of conditions that are daily arising in this contest.

Tkk death of Associate Justice Howell Jackson, of the Supreme Court, will give the president a chance to appoint a Democrat to that position who will have a stronger learning toward free trade than the deceased jurist was credited with. It Is said that he waa appointed to the position by President Harrison because of his known leanings towards protection, when it became known that the senate would not confirm any Republican whom the president might appoint. Of the two evils, to him, of appointing a protection Democrat, or leaving the appointment of a free trade Democrat to his successor, the retiring president chose the former, a step that showered much criticism on his devoted head. Mr, Jackson's last appearance in the Supreme conrt was when the Income tax decision was made, when he surprised those who claimed to he well Informed and bad advanced the theory that be wonld be numbered among those who held the law unconstitutional, by voting to sustain the law, which bat forttbe change of mind by JustlosSbiras, wonld have now been the law of the land, tnstead of a dead letter. Mr. Jackson, with a single exoeption had the dHUnotiors of being the only member of the Supreme bench to be appointed to that exalted position by a president who opposed him politically. That exoeption

,-4'

was Justice Stephen J, Field, of California, who was appointed by President Lincoln, In 1803, as a Democrat, bo who has by his course on tbe bench, justified the confidence reposed in him, and established a reputation as a Just and upright jurist, who is but little swayed by political bias. The Field family has made its mark in tbe history of this country, ana It Is a remarkable co incidence that Justice Field has on the benoh with him a nephew, his sister's child, Justice Brewer, who was born in Asia Minor, where his father was a missionary, and who made a reputation for himself on the benoh of the United States Circuit oourt before being appointed to his present position by President Harrison. The latter had the distinction of making more appointments to this augnst tribunal than any other of his predecessors for a number of years. It Is to bis credit, too, that all of his appointments were notable in the way of bringing to that high court, the highest in the world, a class of men who were noted for their Judicial aoumen and ability. There is much talk as to the appointment of a successor to Justioe Jackson, and it is thought that Secretary Carlisle would be named as the successor but for the fact that he is not very popular with the free silver members of his party for his course in attacking- the silver oraze, whioh is the popular idol with the majority of his faith, at least south of the Mason and Dixon line, where its main stipngtb lies

THE eyes of all the politicians in In diana are fixed on Indianapolis, where a political fight is on that will have a great effect on the election in this state next year, and upon which may depend the election of an United States senator. It is tbe contest over municipal officers, the Republicans having nominated Preston C. Trusler, comptroller of the present administration, and a very good official, as admitted even by his adversaries. It happens, however, that he was one of a coterie of Indianapolis Republicans who were opposed to President Harrison, and carried their opposition so far that Mr. Trusler voted against the Indiana man for president. This has been treasured up against him, and it is likely to lose him a great many votes among men who do not aspire to office, but who believe that a man should not be honored by his party unless he has been loyal to it aud its candidates. To add to the complications tbe Democrats are very likely to nominate Tom Taggart for mayor, and as be is tbe most popular Democrat iu tbe state, and a very strong man, tbe race will be very exciting. If Trusler is defeated bis friends will

FROM THE CAPITAL.

Special Correspondence. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9th, 1895.—Some men have greatness born, and some have It thrust upon them. 8o the poet said. Tbat poet was in a hurry, or else he was not acquainted with S. Edgar NicholsoD, the author of the Nicholson bill. Mr. Nicholson didn't come under either one of these classes. He sought greatness and found so much of it that he would be embarrassed if he were not Ed Nicholson. His new law is in practical operation everywhere in Indiana except over at your own Terre Haute, and if anything in natnre gets out of gear now, blame it on the Nicholson bill.

Judge McCray, of this city, decided that the law was constitutional a few weeks ago, while Judge Taylor of Terre Haute has recently held that the law is inoperative. Judge Taylor's decision was no surprise, and no one seemed to be agitated over its reversal. That seems to be taken for granted.

But 1 have beard the most caustic criticisms launched at the language which the Vigo judge used in his opinion. I have not read it, but learn from several out-of-town lawyers that it contains scathing abuse of tbe make-up and majority part of the last legislature.

One Indianapolis lawyer remarked to mes "Judge Taylor, of Terre Haute, seems to have changed his opinion of the personnel of the legislature. He thought they were a very clever set of fellows when he came over and begged them to raise his salary $500. The legislature had made up its mind to restore the salary of the Superior oourt of Vigo county to that of other Superior courts but the Circuit court salary was to remain just as other circuits stood. Judge Taylor and his Terre Haute friends pled with the Republicans of the legislature, and, although he was a Democrat, the long suffering assembly did what no Democratic assembly would do, raised his salary. And this is what he thinks of them.

Every politician that rolls Into Indianapolis has a pot notion. They always try to unload that notion before they leave the capital, feeling that the state Is safe If some Important looking Indlanapolitan knows the secret. 13m Democrats almost always stop at the Grand Hotel, while a Republican looks for his chums at the Denlson. The Bates, whioh need to be Demoeratte headquarters, has to bow before Mine

that the

friends of tbe ex-president did it, and tbe feelings tbus engendered will be carried into next year's campaign when the political complexion of the Marion oounty delegation in the next legislature may decide as to whether a Democrat or a Republican will be our next senator. Of course Mr. Trusler's friends are making every effort to have the story about the Harrison vote denied, but it seems too many persons are aware that he did vote in the manner charged. Tall oaks from little acorns grow, and tbat little vote that Mr. Trusler cast against Mr. Harrison several years ago may

Host Tom Taggart, who runs the Gfraad. No good Democrat would expect State Chairman Taggart to countenance any scheme ooneoated in tbe grill-room of the Bates.

The Republicans seem to be embarrassed with the choice for governor and minor offices next year, Each prominent Republican fondly hopes tbat Indiana will stand another G, O. P, freshet like she did last fall, and can read with proud eyes his name on the victorious ticket. Candidates for governor are thloker than blackberries. I rode down in a Massachusetts avenue oar this morning witl^ two, ate dinner with another and saw another this afternoon. Smiley Chambers, who told the Republicans tbat tbe apportionment was unconstitutional, is waiting for the bolt to strike him. But even if Smiley told the truth about it, tbe Republican workers feel too sore to shout for him. They ooatend that when he saw the party was determined to apportion he ought to have kept mum. Meanwhile, Smiley is mum, and Is waiting to be vindicated.

Chairman Jack Gowdy is wavering between the buszlng of the gubernatorial bee and a re-eleotlon to the state chairmanship. Either would be a vindication of his stand last winter when the "old man," as the boys oall him, wanted the legislature to take advantage of their opportunity and reward some of the workers. Mr. Gowdy was a toiler as obairman, and if ohoaen again will reap a better thing than tbe governorship oould give him. He would probably take Sam Moras' job at Paris or suooeed Pat Cpllins in John C. New's berth.

There is one man who wants to be governor who may possibly be disappointed, aud tbat is Albert J. Beveridge. He is the "character" of the capital. Keenly intellectual, professionally shrewd and talented, but with a nerve tbat is appalling, and said by some to be slightly egotistical. But Mr. Beveridge, while a young man, will do nothing rash.

Senator Shively, of Rlobmond, was at the Denison not long ago and denied that he bad aspirations to be governor, Shively partakes of Bereridge's characteristics except that tbe Wayne senator is closer to tbe common people and inclined to be less egotistical. He strove very hard to make a good record as a senator and oame as near coming through the fire unslnged as any of them. Both Senator Shively and Mr. Beveridge have charming young wives who generally accompany their husbands when seen at the Denison dining room.

Since "Gil" Shanklin, of Evansville, Is announced as a Democratic probability for governor, there is much consternation in tbe ranks of tbe old "ten per cent" crowd, as the Voorhees-Turpie-Taggart Democrats were called. For if Shanklin were governor, he "wouldn't do a-thing to them," .Oh, no!

So Taggart's boom for mayor of Indianapolis goes merrily on, and every time your uncle Daniel or father David oan put in a spike for Tom Taggart for mayor, she goes. See? And, Hosea Hawkins, the U. S. marshal, who by tbe way is the nerviest and hardest hitting little Democrat In Indiana, sees tbat tbe state doesn't get a wrong idea about Taggart. Voorhees starts an idea, Taggart improves on it, while "Hosey" disseminates it like hoarfrost in November all over his bailiwick while he is arresting counterfeiters and getting new juries for Judge Baker. Hawkins is worth a regiment of mugwumps.

SATANICCRUELTIES.

HORRIBLE STORIES TOLD OF BULGARIA'S MURpEREO PATRIOT.

The Brother of the Man Acon*ed of StambalolTa Murder Puliitj) Him a* an Inhuman Fiend—Tortures Worse Than the

Inquisition—A Boy Burned Alive. 4

Naoum Tnfkchen, who has Been arrested at Sofia on suspicion of being the murderer of M. Stanilmloff of Bulgaria, has a brother studying at the university at Liege, who recently told a reporter of the Paris Figaro a romantic story of the reasons his family had for hating Stambuloff. He asserted his belief that his brother is innocent of the crime of whioh he is accused, while tbe reporter found it difficult to believe the story he told. This is what he said: "My brother, like a great many other Maoedoniai living in Sofia, was a close friend of Major Panitza, who had taken up the demands of Macedonia, whose rights were and still are overlooked in spite of the treaty of Berlin. It was simply a friendship, however, such as bound my brother, for instance, to M. Petkoff, ma^or of Sofia and Stambuloff's friend. "When the Panitza plot broke out, ending in the condemnation and execution of the oonspirator, my brother was studying here at the Liege university. He had been noticed by the Prince of Battenberg and had been sent by him to finish his eduoation A Belgium with money from his private purse. He promised him a place as equipment officer in the Bulgarian army on his return. After the discovery of the plot many persons were arrested at Sofia. By Stambuloff's order all those who in any way had been conneoted with Panitza were included. Among them the tyrant arrested my youngest brother, Dentcho, only 17 years old, who had just come from Macedonia to finish his studies at the Sofia hi{ school. "Stambuloff, it appears, believed that the Bulgarians living at Liege were in constant correspondence with Panitza. For six long months he subjected the little fellow to torture that cannot be imagined, in trying to draw from him the admission that Naoum, my older brother, was connected with the plot. The boy knew nothing Stambuloff could get nothing out of him he had exercised his ingenuity, however, in multiplying the most dreadful tortures, till one day in his presence the executioners in his pay tore out the nails from the hands and feet of the poor martyr, and made him endure still more barbarous acts. "The boy, who behaved like a hero to the very end—we found out all the details when the tyrant was overthrown and we have proofs of all I tell you— refused steadfastly to accuse Naoum. At last, exasperated, he spat in Stambuloff's face,.crying out, 'Tyrant, I despise thee thou shalt know nothing.' That decided his fate. Stambuloff had kerosene poured over him and he was burned alive. "Stambuloff's accusation when he was dying is explained as follows: He muBt have felt remorse for the atrocious death of Dentcho, if he had any human feeling left. Knowing that his life was in constant danger, he probably believed that my family wished to avenge the martyr. Consequently, as he hardly preserved his senses after the crime, he must have named my older brother as one of the probable assassins^'

To Boom Oregon and Washington.

Oregon and Washington people have lately started to boom their state products for eastern consumption in a large way. They are particularly anxious to sell fruit in the east, because there has been a notable development in the fruit raising industry in their region of late years. They are making the novel claim that much of California's reputation for fine fruits has been made on Oregon and Washington products.

Great quantities of fruit from those states have been sold to California buyers, and, it is alleged, shipped east as California fruit. A recent case offered in proof is the receipt of an order by a Salem (Or.) cannery from a California fruit packing house for 500 cases of canned cherries, "to be shipped without labels." The inference is that the fruit would be labeled as California product and sent east. Under the new policy of booming their own state the cannery managers declined to fill the order.— New York Sun.

A Queer Flower.

One of the vegetable marvels of July is the fraxinolla, or dittany, an old fashioned flowering plant, native in southern Europe and Asia and much cultivated in the gardens of our grandmothers. The plant has showy flowers—white, red and rosy—and an odor that belongs to the leaves as well as to the blossoms.

The plant, if visited at night with a lighted match, is suddenly enveloped trith blue flames, as is the hand that bears the match. The flames are harmless »id are caused by the combustion of a volatile oil that is sesrefced by the plant This oil, in the form of vapor, Impregnates the air immediately about the plant and is ignited at the approach of a light. The plant blooms abundantly, and the pyrotechnic display may be repeated night after night, especially if the condition of Hie atmosphere is favorable.

The plant obtains its name of dittany from the fact that it grows wild upon Mount Dicte, in the island of Crete. It is by no means so well known now as it oooe was, since the gay flowers of old fashioned oountry gardens have given plaoe to more aesthetic and lew showy blossoms.—New York Sun.
