TERRE HAUTE, IN P., NOV. 9, 1895.

HARD times may be disappearing, but apparently not for tbe Democratic party.

SENATOR BRICES postofflce address will hereafter undoubtedly be New York City.

THE Democratic party may not have had its back broken, oat it bas been given a pretty bad twist.

PROBABLY Mr. Bradley's Kentucky friends are pushing bim for tbe presidency with the idea of compromising on the second place on tbe tioket.

A SON of Coxey, the Populist candidate for governor of Ohio, bas gone to Cuba to fight for the revolutionists. If tbe father will do likewise, all will be forgiven.

THE result in New York City in Tuesday'^ election, in whirn Tammany was victorious, may be taken a* an indication that large cities canuot be*run on the plan that Is successful in country communities.

THE chances are that since Kentucky has gone Republican the Democrats, sore over that surprising event, will get to fighting between thnmselves, as they did wheu Breckenrldge was defeated, and kill off enough Democrats to make tbe state reliably Republican.

Mn. ROBERT LINOLN evidently is not hearing enough talk about himself as a candidate for pre^ldant He has coin« forward to say he doesn't want the ofHoe. As the Chicago Tribuoe remarks, he manages to keep up with the move ments of the searchlight.

THE demand for a short campaign next year and a short session of congress this .winter is increasing. The people want as little politics as will suffice to comply with the requirement for the election of a president. The issues of the next cam palgn will affeot business interests at least business men will believe tbey d«», and acting on that belief will avoid bust ness enterprises until after tbe eleotion.

The agitation of tbe questions of tariff and money are necessarily demoralizing to trade and industry and the demand is that the sgitation be of the shortest possible duration.

THE Alabama senators and the free ailver members of oongress from that state have held a conference to decide whether or not they will continue the prosecution of the free silver campaign which had been inaugurated in that state. The result of the elections last Tuesday served to call a halt. The Alabama Demooratlo leaders are not the only ones who will take a second thought about insisting on free silver. The free-silver advocates among the new Republican congressmen likely will be singing iu low tones In oongress this winter whereas they had intended to insist upon 16 to 1 legislation at once

Tff® Standard oil millionaire, Rockefeller, who has just given the Chicago university one million dollars cash, and two more millions with a string to it, is deserving of praise for his efforts to make the Chicago institution a great one. It is doubtless true, however, that this same millionaire, if oalled on by hit employes to raise their wages in an amount equalling one-tenth of this donation, would spend the entire three millions to defeat tbelr purposes. This ts usually true of our millionaires, who are munificent in spending their money

In purposes far beyond the reach of their employes, and with but little thought of their welfare.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HARMON IS all right after all. When he went into the cabinet he was welcomed as a big, frank, tolerably able sort of a man and of course we read muoh of his doings and sayings an is always true of the advent of a man inpubliollte. Then came the letter in which he deolared that Cuban sympathy meetings ought to be prohibited. They smacked of the Cleveland dictatorship Idea of the rights and duties of an administration and did not fit In with the popular Idea of Harmon. He has established himself, however, by saying without reservation that he made a blunder and he is sorry he did. Here after be will be more careful. There is hope for Harmon. When

It is evldenoe that be ts big indeed to admit a blunder when he makes It and there are few who are that big

Tux scandals at Fort Sheridan, the arf&y post near Chicago, have been of a iture to raise a suspicion that perhaps

speech in oongress was On the subject of the expense of a standing army. He maintained that the government was keeping In idleness men of rare ability and attainments, who became loafers, and of no aooount to themselves or anyone else. His speeoh brought on a sharp debate, and the general said that abont the only occupation of army officers on duty at the isolated posts in the West was to play fly-loo, which, be explained, was betting as to whloh lamp of sugar a fly would first alight upon. The investigations of the shooting affrays at Port Sheridan dlsolose the fact that there is much of jealousy, petty spite and blokerlng among the offloers. Capt. Charles King's stories reveal a good deal of this. Of course, he shows that there are noble oharaotera among the offloers, but through them all there is the taint of discontent that comes from idleness and foments disagreements. |f|

THE ELECTIONS.

The result of the elections last Tuesday cannot be said to have been asur prise. Tbe Democratic leaders had no hope of New York, Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts nor did they expect to cat down tbe Republican plu rality to any extent. They were a'raid of Kentucky and Maryland. The Republicans were confident of carrying the first named states and hoped to carry the others. The result was worse than the Democrats expected and better than the Republicans hoped for. Last year the Republicans oarried all of these states except Kentucky with a net plurality of 727,925. Even with a Republican plurality of 17,000 in Kentucky this week the aggregate plurality will not be so large aa last year. But the vote is larger and the defeat of tbe Democracy is therefore more emphatic and significant.

It is certain that Republican senators will succeed Gorman from Maryland and Brice from Ohio. The prospect of the retirement of Hill in New York is made good, and there is a ohance that a Republican may succeed Blackburn from Kentucky.

The Republican plurality in New York state will be about 91,000, in Ohio 95,000, in Iowa 70,000, and in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania something less than the average of these figures.

Tammany elected its local ticket, beaded by the county clerk, by about 20,000. The Republicans in New York city are putting the blame on one another for this result. Tbe active managers of the campaign declare tbat nothing was gained by accepting a fusion ticket, and that hereafter the party will accept only a straight ticket. On the other baud Mayor Strong and others say the party managers oonnived at the Tammany victory, because with Tammany entirely destroyed there no longer would be occupation for tbe regular leaders of the Republican organization.

Massachusetts gave a majority of 70, 000 against municipal woman's suffrage. With the present congress the terms of twenty-nine senators will expire, of whom fifteen are Democrats, twelve Re publlcaus and two Populists. .Repub lioau legislatures were chosen in four of these states—Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky and New York—and in fourof the others it is reasonably certain the' Republicans will secure the legislatures next year, thus adding another quartette to their strength in the Fifty-fifth congress. These four latter are Illinois, Kansas, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The remaining seven states now represented by Democrats are likely to choose Democratic successors, with the possible exception of Indiana.

Jones, of Nevada, and PefTer, of Kansas, Populists, will also go oat in 1897. The former is likely to succeed himself or to be succeeded by a Populist, but Peffer will give place to a Repub Mean- Utah will probably become a state during tbe next sixty days. The legislature, whioh will meet In January to ohoose two senators, is by the latest returns pronounced Republican, thus securing the eleotion of two more Republican senators. This will bring the total membership of the senate up to ninety, and will give the Republicans after March 4, 1897, a total vote of at least fifty-four, or eight more than the number neeessary to a quorum.

In another column will be found the announcement of tbe dissolution of the firm of James Hunter A Co., George N. Kramer retiring. Mr. Kramer has been member of the firm about twelve years, and hia made .many friends, whose beat wishes wUf follow him to his new location, Los Angeles, Gal where he has two brothers in business. The business will be oontlnned by Mr. Hunter, better known as "Jim" Hunter, who Is one of the beet known businessmen of the Prairie City. He began in his present location In September, 1872, and hla long and snooeasful career as a business man and hia shrewd advertis ing has made his establishment familiar to every rsaidentof this city and vicinity.

OBITUARY.

CTURTIS I. FIFRROVIK

Curtis I. Ripley died Nov, 2,1895, hi* wife surviving him with three aonstf Warwick H., Louis #«, and Jessie O, with his brother, George Bipley. He was buried last Monday. His son, Louis J., with hla wife, from Ft. Madison, Iowa, and Warwick H., from Indianapolis, attending the funeral. Rev, A. J. Alexander, of Washington a van oe Presbyterian, oburoh, and Ft. Harrison lodge of Odd Fellows officiated. Mr, Ripley was born in 1827 at Lavonla, New York, was sixty* nine years of age and had resided here for forty-three years. Few were better known and so generally esteemed. His, obaraoteristiot werfe honesty, devotion, cheerfulness and patience. In 1878 he refused his lawyer's advice to take tbe advantage of the bankrupt law "and save something." He said he preferred "to save something else." "He was a good man" was a common expression heard concerning him. He was a Presbyterian in belief and praotioe. Twen-ty-five years Sunday School superintendent, thirty years an elder and clerk of the 8t*ssi'»u and a representative to every character »f Presbyterian assemblages. In Odd Fellowship he was similarly faithful and was passed on to various degrees of daty. He proved his gentleness and patience also by volunteering as a hospital nurse, when Governor Morton oalled for them at tb» beginning of tbe war. He wasa sympathetic help mate to the wounded. Afterwards he served as sutler in Col. Mo" Lean's regiment. The soldiers to-day around their, ^oamp fires" allude to Mm as the "uncomplaining provider." His prosperity and generosity later beoame mixed with adversity and pain, yet hfs noted cheerfulness, patience and gentleness never changed. Adversity never overcame his fortitude. Suffering never frosted his gentleness. His character was sterling and impressive. It taught patience and gentleness. To his memory a monument has been erected as lasting as tbe legal history of Indiana. On the title page of the Indiana Digest—the work of Warwick H. Ripley—are these words: "Dedicated to Curtis Ira Ripley, Esq by his son."

Talk of a new opera bouse was revised this week by tbe report tbat a Chioagp syndicate was to erect a seven stiny opera bouse and office building on tihe ground now owned by the Masons at Eighth and Main streets. It is said that plans were prepared for the building, which takes in the lot just west of the Masonic property, owned by Crawford Fairbanks, bat if so that is as far as there has been anything done, for the trustees of the property, Dr. Swafford, J. W. Cruft and Alex. Thomas have heard nothing of the sale, nor has any proposition been suomitted to the different bodies interested in the land. A proposition of $30,000 cash for the Masouic lots was refused unanimously some time ago by each of the bodies In which the title *ras vested, it being the opinion of the members tbat the lots were worth at least twice the amount offered
