TERRE HAUTE, IND., NOV 2, 1896
IF Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt has as many different faors as she is given by the newspaper illustrations, the Duke of Marlborough should have more than ten million dollars for the privilege of alowing her to call him husband.
THE members of the "four hundred," who of course are "good citizens," will be interested so much in the Marlbor ough-Vanderbilt wedding next Tuesday that they will no doubt forget to vote, and the success of Tammany may be looked for.
WHO will be the firnt governor to ren der himself immortal by calling a special session of his legislature in order to have a law enacted to prevent the brutal exhibitions given by the football players. The list of casualties thus far this season calls for something of this kind.
A BKOTHKR of the president is having some trouble with his Republican congregation up in York state, because be takes too much interest in defending the administration. The congregation wants to get rid of him, but he doesn't want to quit. He is something like his more ponderous but perhaps less religious brother—he doesn't know when the people have had enough of him
ROBERT LINCOLN, who is more finicky if less famous than his father, says he has an "utter abhorrence" for the mere mention of his name for the presidency. The revival of interest in Abraham Linooln is not going to give a boom to hi* son for the presidency, and Robert need not subject himself to mental anguish over the great misfortune, as he terms it, of being a presidential candidate. There is not likely to be a "sissy" on either of the party tickets next year, and Mr. Lincoln's talk puts him in the list of "sissies."
Tsmperance reformers, of the practi cal rather than the theoretical kind, will find much to please them in the report of the regular army for the past year, showing a great reduction in the num ber of breaches of discipline, which it i3 olalmed is a resultof the introduction of the canteen system, by which soldiers •re allowed a in )d»r*te amount of beer ander official supervision, thus remov lng the temptation to go to the saloons in the vicinity of the various army posts Ibr drink that is more pronounced in its effects. This view of the cause of the reductions in offenses due to drink is corroborated by the army surgeons, who tell of deoreased drunkenuess and sickness attributable to the use of liquor. It would seem from this report that the open toleration of a limited use of beer and other aloohollo beverage* tends to decrease drunkenness and the evils whioh follow it.
AN ex Indiana preacher has gained a little extra notoriety by his advocacy of heroic methods for punishing those guilty of election frauds. The preacher is Rev. Myron Reed, of Denver, who in a speech on Sunday advised that two bun dred men be armed with guns at the eleotion next Tuesday, to shoot down those found guilty of voting fraudulent ly. There is nothing to be commended In advising a few oinsens to take into their own hands the punishment of violators of the law, but if theie is a crime for which summary punishment should be dealt out it is that of election frauds. The man who. takes a human Mfe is bad enough, but the man who bv fraud attempts to deprive a community of oitixens of their rights and an honest expression of their opinion, is infinitely worse, and the Rev. Reed, although a orank on most subjftote, is about right in advising summary punishment of those who are proven guilty of violating that most precious of ail rights, the right of suffrage.
IT seems to be a question as yet, as to whether or not the presidential campaign next year wilt be shortened Boards of trade and commercial clubs all over the ©oan try have petitioned the national oo mm It tees of each of the principal parties to shorten the oampalgn by postponing the conventions to the latter part of August or September, and while there is a disposition on the part of these bodies to have a short campaign, It is not shown thus far that the oommon people, who make up the bulk of the voters, are in favor of It, It is a mat ter of fact that up to about twenty years ago the oonventloa of the Republican party, which set the pace as a rule, wa» held in May, but sinoe 1872 the tion* of that party have kfpci %eld in June. As customs change other respects, rt they change in regard to the acceptance of the prixee won at national conventions. Onoeihe custom was that nominees must file their acceptance of a nomination within thirty days after the nomination, bat now they ere allowed all the time they need and no qnestions are asked. The Republicans are first in

the tield this year to discuss the national convention, and will meet In December to dlsoues the time for their convention next year, and as it cannot be held until at least six months after the time ban been decided up, their convention will be held not before June, jibe chances are that it will be held the latter part of July, with their principal opponents, the Democrats, to folow.
THBgay and festive onion oah never hope to gain an entrance to polite so ciety. Its health-giving qualities are un questioned—but it smells unto high heaven, and nothing that smells to high heaven oan enter polite society unless it is a bad character with an English trademark. Out in Rookford, Illinois, a school teacher is in a peck o' trouble all over a desire on the part of her pupils to indulge in onions and attend school at one and the same time She seized a pupil by his offensive breath and punished him, whereupon all the other pupils came to school with onion-laden breaths, and as the school direotors did not furnish disinfectants she continued her punishment. Then the direotors took the matter up, and the end is not yet. It is too bad the Illinois legislature is not in session, for then some of the legislators over there would get a chance to immortalize themselves by making it a penalty to interfere with the use of onions as an article of food, interfering, as it were, wiih the personal liberty of American citizens.
ELECTIONS will be neld in thirteen states next Tuesday, aud there is more importance attaohed to them than is usual in an "off" year. In Kentucky and Maryland, where governors are to be elected, the Democrats are having the fight of their lives, many members of that party in each state having united with the Republicans to assist in the effort to overthrow the machine which has dominated the party as a result of uninterrupted success in the past campaigns. While Democratic success may be expected, it would not be surprising to learn that their opponents have won the fight. Much depends on these elec tions, for it is admitted that the chances are very strong for the Republicans carrying both states in the more important campaign next year if they are success ful in this fight. Each party therefore Is putting forth its most strenuous efforts for victory. In New York the fight to defeat Tammany is the most important feature of the campaign, as it is not at all likely that the Democrats will be able to elect the legislature that is to choose a successor to Senator Hill. Utah is to vote on her new constitution, and elect a legislature that will choose two United States senators, providing the constitution is adopted and she becomes a state, which is looked for as a matter of course. In Ohio ex-Governor Campbell is a candidate for re-election, and Senator Rrice is making an effort to be returned to the Benate. It is said that more money is being spent by Brlce in this senatorial fight than was ever before put in one campaign. The result in Ohio will be looked for with much interest, therefore, as an evidence as to whether or not the use of money can change a normal Republican majority into a Democratic majority.
FOR THE FAIR ONES.
Flat guipure bands and the white embroideries that imitate passamenterieare very popular.
Brown velvet edged with mink bands forms a large collar of a low gnimpe waist of a bright red crepon.
All the new rough-surfaced woolens, the boucles, frises and' bourettes are in great vogue for girls' dresses, for small and large alike.
A great many of the most stylish capes are trimmed with fur of some kind, the most popular being the Persian lamb, marten and mink. Bear trimming also seems to be very popular.
Black satin petticoats, warmly lined with fl*nnel and gored somewhat after the style ef an umbrella, so that they button on to the lower edge of the corset, are indispensable additions to a stout woman's outfit.
Among stylish contrasts of color are tan olotb dresses with a deep collar or vest of clear green velvet. A cloth dress of the favorite green has printed velvet accessories, green with rose designs on the revers and vest.
In navy blue, brown and black the new mohairs this season strongly rival the serge% and summer sackings and tweeds that have for so many years been used for steamer, boating, traveling and similar outing costumes.
Blue and green are together in many ways, a deep collarette of green velvet trimming a very rioh dress of blue and blaok bouole, while a simple blue mohair of the heavy serge twill has a stock and belt of emerald -green velvet.

TERRE SAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL,
FROM FHE CARJTAL.
Talk About the Gubernatorial Candidates Who are Grooming for Next Year, Special Correspondence.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND Nov. 1,1896. The defeat here at the capital has dis heartened the local Rlpublloans who were blind enough to believe that Trailer was a bigger man than biB party. It has em boldened the outside Republicans whose candidates for governor are now jubilant. It put sand in the Steele men, it encouraged Frank Posey, from the Pooket, and it caused Charley Oriffin, the Chicago lawyer, to open Indianapolis headquar ters at on e.
That Charles F. Grlffln is not to be knocked out like a feather, either. He is baoked by the Hammond orowd as they are called, and politicians tell me that the Hammond fellows are usually winners. Living so close to Chiaago, they are full of that restless activity, whioh has made "I will" fampueu The little city of Hammond is built In the most God-forsaken, appearing oountry between Buffalo and Omaha. Instead of sending down to Indianapolis a oolieotion of sand bill loafers and swamp dwellers, thn town thm makes horse sausages and mu'-utains lloby, produces the most up-to-date polhiaal hustlers in Indiana Hammond, you will recall, was a spirited f^otor in the LandisJohnson fight in the old Tenth distriot. By the new apportiontnent'bf^congresaional districts, Charley Lah'dfis, of Delphi, is thrown into the new Ninth district, so that JohQSon has no ^ance for another "scrap." tgfg
Little "Doo" Hatch, who was the compromise candidate when Landls and Johnson both withdrew, is the shortest member of congress from Indiana. When be makes a speech you would think him as "tall grass" hS any. While he was a political aooident, yet^yfcu could not convince him of that, and he will not agree to give up congress just because he is asked.
There is another complication in the "shoe-string" district, as the new Tenth is called by Democrats. Congressman J. Frank Hanley, who was elected from the old Ninth, is now thrown into the Tenth, and sees that a renomination must be fought for. And to add to tlanley'a burden, it is not only probable that "Doc" Hatch will fight him, but that Johnson will odme down from the Pink Mink marshes 6f Winamac with another boom, stronger than ever by reason of the fact that C. B. Laudis is not now in that district
Visitors at the capital from the Kaukakee regions say that the congressional convention of the new Tenth will be as exciting as a Yale-Princeton football game. But it will mot be an instance with the one to be held in the new Sixth. That is a combination of the old Fourth and Fifth, and throws the tell, pompadoured, smooth-tongued "Jim" Watson in the same pew with the fire eating black Republican, Henry U. Johnson. Johnson and Watson are "sore" at each other. Both will be in congress this winter, and you had better keep your,eye,out for some fine play*! Johnson has the confidence of the older and shrewder politicians Watson has' "the boys" with him. They tell some ridiculous stories about "Jim," which are hardly credible, but illustrate his flexibility in posing as a Christian Endeavor statesman.
Nevertheless, James E. Watson will' be a candidate for governor next year and will make a rip-roaring oanvass for the nomination that will almost paralyze the other candidates, except Major, Doxey. He claims nobody can give him political paralysis.
Some people think that the Republlcan state officers will be renominated without a semblance of a struggle. Others think different. Secretary of State Owen may not want to run for that office again He would rather governor. Attorney General Ketcbam is highly disgusted with the remuneration of his office. His predecessor, Green Smith, grew wealthy from the "rake-off" in the collection department but Smith killed the goose, and j£etobam. has been looking for more eggs In vain.' So he may step down and out. As for Soholz, the State treasurer, his outlook' is serious. With Frank Posey looming up as a popular candidate for governor (and you know that If Posey from Evansville Is nominated at the head of the ticket, of oourae another Evansville, candidate would have hard sledding) and with thesmooth banner, Levy, from Huntingdon, after the place, Mr. Scholz has cause to lie awake nights. Levy came within an aoe of getting the nomination last year, and that was when 8cbols was In the zenith.
John Sherman's book is causing a sensation among politicians. It is awaketan lng feelings that were thought dead The Harrison men feel that it can only hurt MoKlnley, as it is tearing the bandages off the Foraker wound. The McKinley men are cursing Sherman for being so unfortunate as to unload all his jaundice on the oountry at this time Wiseacres say that the old statesman knew what he was doing, and proposed to put McKinley and Foraker in the same barrel and nail them In.
While interviews on these subjects are numerous, you haven't yet run across one from ex-President Benjamin Harrison. No, and you will not, either. It isn't time for the "genuine sarsaparilla" to be sprung on the people.
