Hon. 20 and 23 South Plftb Street, Printing House Square. The Mali Is sold In the city by 250 newsboys and all newsdealers, and by agent* In 30 surrounding towns. Entered at the Poetofflce at Terre Haute, Ind., a* second-class matter.

TERRK HAUTE, INI., OCT. 12, 1895.

IT la plain to be seen that mugwumps not very popular with Indianapolis are Republicans,

THERE will be thirty contested elec tion cases before the next congress, and all but two of them are filled by Republicans.

IT will not require any particular political sagacity to pick out the Democratic candidate for governor lu this state next year. The first letter of his name is Thomas Taggart.

THE campaign in Kentucky has certainly reached a critical stage when the terme "free silver jobberwacks" aud "goldite ass" are used in the discussion of the merits of the different candidates for governor.

THE "Son* of God," a uew sect in Michigan, announce very positively that the world will come to an end iu 1941 This willgivejust about enough time for the Republicans in Indianapolis to get over the result* of this week's election.

THE Dake of Marlborough visited the Treasury department in Washington the other day, and was permitted to destioy $500,000 iu United States treasury notes. He was simply getting some praotice before he begins burning the Vanderbilt millions.

THE French in the pursuit of their oolonization plans nave finally captnred the capital of \fHdagiscar, and they may be expected to maintain control of that island, over which they have claimed a protectorate for nearly two hundred years. The English do not particularly relish the idea of French control of the island, and the French success may lead to a still further strain of the relations existing between the rival government*

THE governor ot Arkansas hasn't as much nerve as the governor of Texas, and as a result the fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons is announced to take plaoe at Hot Springs the latter part of this month without the interference of the authorities. That is, it will take place if the two prinoipal£Mk) not talk themselves to death before the time for the fight, which seems very likely to happen from the present prospects.

SENATOR HILL has advised the president's friends that he will oppose the confirmation of Mr. Hornblower as a member of the Supreme court, to succeed the late Justice Jackson. Hill says that he does not consider the fact that Mr. Hornblower supported him in the race for governor of New York last year, as any particular reason why he would make a good justice of the augnst tribunal. To which the people generally will say amen.

SOME of the oustoms collectors for the government have a private snap in their pub'lo offices. A recent statement shows that the collector at Albemarle, N. C., who draws a salary of one thousand dollars a year, actually collected in duties during the past year three dollars and twenty oents. Another collector, in Oregon, who enjoys the same salary, collected only $1.71 in customs duties. Of the $140,386,770 in oustoms collections in the United States for the fiscal year 1895, $103,633,983 was collected at New York. __

THE New York reformers who were at the bead of the movement that led to the downfall of Tammany last yei»r do not seem to have been Interested in the matter solely for their health. Of the oommittee of seventy that had charge of that campaign not lest than eleven are holding fat offices under the present administration of the olty, with salaries ranging from $3,000 to $25,000 a year. They are evidently praotical reformers. They belong to the class of "professional good citizens," characterised by the Indianapolis Journal this week as "invinoible in peaoe, invisible in war."

MORE Americans visited Europe this year than for many years past, and it Is estimated that not less than $60,000,000 was spent by these sightseers. And yet they neglect the sights of their own lan'3" as shown by the report of the superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, whose attractions far surpass those afforded by a visit to the old countries. In 1890 4,000 persons visited the park, in 1898, 3,000, in 1894, 1635, and this year up to the close of July but 425. The same Instinct that leads to the effbrt to capture foreign noblemen for husbands for their daughters Induces our wealthy classes to prefer foreign sightseeing to that of our own country.

THE autumn maneu?ree of the European powers being concluded some Interesting, and at the same time appalllag, figures are furnished regarding the standing of the European armies. On a peaoe footing the standing army of

Russia is 850,000 men, Germany has 580,-' 000, and France 518,000. In case of war Russia and Franoe could put in the field 9,700,000 men against the7,700,000 soldiers of the three countries forming the triple alliance, Germany, Auatra and Italy. In time of peaoe the maintenance of the standing armies of these powers oosts $1,000,000,000 annually, an amount ex oeedlng the net Indebtedness of the Untuni States, according to. theoenaut Qf 1890.

THE British miulster to the United States during the first Cleveland administration, Lord Saokvllle-West, who made suoh a spectacle of himself over the famous Murehlson letter, and which led to his recall, published a pamphlet this week in which be crltioiaes Mr. Bayard, the minister to England, very severely, and says he ought not to be tolerated as the representative of this country at the English court. As the gentlemau with the hyphenated name stands very high in diplomatic circles, his retieotioua on Mr. Bayard are likely to disturb the serenity of that dignitary and lead to some more letter writing. Mr. Bayard is full of hot southern blood, and whilo he oan put up with slights direoted to ward his country he is not likely to sub mlt tamely to reflections ou his own character.

IT is promised that the state department is going to see that the principles of the Monroe doctrine are enforced in the dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela as to the ownership ofoertaiu territory in the latter country. The sending of the new navy for evolutions in southern waters is said to be in furtherance of this plan, and that it is intended that they shall be conveniently at hand when tbe demands are made that Great Britain take her hands off territory to which she has no right. The president is likely to do something to create a foreigu policy before the meeting of tbe new congress, whon some emphatic declarations are sure to be made in regard to the present foreign policy of the government. If tbe present administration desires to do anything to oreate the impression that it has a foreign polloy, it must be done before the first Monday in December next. After that time it will be too late.

HE who lives by the sword may expect to die by it. A few years ago when Benjamin Harrison was the candidate of the Republican party for president of the United States, Preston Trusler, of Indianapolis, who had been honored by the Republican party by appointments in tbe government service, thought that Grover Cievelaud would make a better president, and therefore voted for the latter, and used his influence against the candidate of his party. In the course of time, Mr. Trusler, through the machine which he organized while a public officer, succeeded in getting the nomination of his party as mayor of Indianapolis, and on Tuesday be was defeated by the largest plurality given against any candidate there in years. Hundreds of Republicans who thought that a man who could vote against sdch a man as General Harrison for president was not good enough to get their votes for mayor, either voted against him, or stayed away from the polls altogether, with the result above given. And thousands of Republicans throughout the state and oountry will agree in the sentiment that it served him right. That man, no matter what party he may belong to, who thinks he is bigger and better than the regularly nominated candidates of his party has no right to expect the approval of his party when he is a candidate for public office, and the rebuke with which Mr. Trusler has met will or should serve as a good lesson to others of his ilk.

Fijian wometi have ft inastaffeotiion" ate disposition, although, like all semi* civilised people, they arq extremely sensitive and ready to take offense at the veriest trifle.

While unmarried their hair, picturesquely adurutxl with hibiscus and other flowers, is permitted to fall in thi6 plaits iown the hack of the neok. Thfe is regarded as a sign of maidenhood. After marriage the pluita are oat off and not allowed to bo worn again.

In Suva and Levuka the women generally wear a blouse shaped pinafore of thin white cotton, but iu their homes or in the interior distriots they are oontent with the sulu, a kind of loin cloth, mado from the hark of the native mulberry tree and wrapped trwo or three times around the body.

When taking part in the meke-meke, or native dance, the girls wear a short, thick petticoat of dried grass, adorned with black aud yellow tappa streamers, the bodies remaining bare from the waist upward.

Shoes and stookings are discarded by Fijians of all classes except on special occasions.—St. Paul'a ./

3- -'KW4: Two Doctors. Almost everyone has made his jest about the proneness of doctors to disagree, the one proscribing exaotly an opposite course from that ordered by another, but not every one has had an opportunity to conduot suoh an experiment as was made by the late Baron Lutz, formerly prime minister ®f Bavaria.

The baron was once severely wounded in battle in both legs. The wound in one leg was much like that in tho other. It struck him that'there was a chance to study the ways of the surgical profession and beguile the long hours of his oonvaJescence. He accordingly called in one doctor and gave him charge Of his right leg, but told him nothing about the wound in the other, and then called in another doctor for his left leg, keeping him similarly in ignorance about the wounded right leg.

The doctors adopted a very different^ method of treatment, but both wo$pf% healed at abtnt the i»anie time* the baron's legs were quite well, he rived a great deal of amusement from getting the doctors together, and mysti fying them with questions aborit the way each had treated "his leg."—Atlanta Constitution.

"Walking.

For walking with pleasure and advantage I should give a few simple rules. The application of these rules for him^ self every man must ipake with due allowance. for his own peculiarities. Take plenty of time at meals. Do not w^lk right after a meal. Best Well before the noon and evening meals. Drink all ydu desire of good water during the tramp, but sparingly at meals or just before eating. Good digestion is as important to good walking as it is necessary for good work of any kind.. As to foods, a man has to 'take on'his tram^ What is set before him! It will generally be nourishing enough if he will be carefo.1 to eat it when not tired and to eat- it slowly. At the end of each day take a sponge or towel bath or a dry rub down. At least wash your feet and change socks, and shoes, too, if possible. A change of all my clothing next to the skin at the end of each day is imperative with me.—Chicago News.

An Honest Sergeant.

A military story comes from Ireland* A noncommissioned officer, entering ,,a barrack gate in Dublin, was mistaken by the "fresh one" on sentry go, who immediately saluted him. The noncommissioned officer, unaware that his colonel was just behind, returned the salute, a thing not permissible tihder the circumstances. Arrived at his ters, he was surprisedto find an o^er for him to attend b&forb tnS'colonel. On presenting himself he was ask$9h how he came to return the salute, knowing full well he was not entitled to if. Not in the least embarrassed, he promptly answered, "Sir, I always r§turn everything I am not entitled to. The colonel, taken aback by his rea wit, laughingly dismissed him.

"Wyeh." (Mow are"ycrn?) ••Whaheb." (How are you?) «,i, "Inedeh." (Fine day.) "S, uh call at a" (Yes, I call it aqj "Wah thing genl?" (How are thiizgg fan general?) rr.
