PROPRIETORS. PUBLICATION OfflCE,

No*. 20 and 22 South Fifth Street, Printing House Square. The Mall is Hold in the city by 2S0 newsboys and all newsdealers, and by agent* in 80 surrounding towns. Sntered at the Postoflloe at Terre Haute, Ind., as second-class matter.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., NOV. 23, 1895.

BELBY and bis motor are again at traoting attention, and there is reported to be better promise of something definite for pablio inspection than ever before. He has been "assisted" bj new capitalistic friends. Either he is the crankiest humbug or the oentury or he has partly in his grasp a great Beoret of foroe.

THERK IS a new boom in stocks of oar western mines, and the real estate exchanges in some of the cities in the west are dealing in mining stocks after the manner of the regular stock exchanges. Record breaking sales are reported, and there is every indication of a crazy gambling infatuation under the name of stock speculation.

GOVERNOR ALTOELD has done many things for which he Justly deserved censure by tbe newspaper*-, but it was a mean trick of tbe correspondent who caused to ba written columns and columns of editorial denunciation on the story that he refused to participate in a parade with regular army soldiers. There wasn't a word of truth in the story, but Altgeld 'was held up before millions of people a* an anarchist becan^e tie was said to have treated the boys in blue with contempt. Tbe Illinois governor and tbe officers of tbe regular troops donied the story a day or two later, but Altgeld's name will always be odious to hundreds of thousands of persons who will never see the denial.

doubt is over Indianapo

lis. It is announced that It has not been settled whether society is to be as gay this winter as It was last season when, as one writer says, night after night there was the same music, the same re fresbments and the same people. Yet society said it was having a good time. Now it isn't sure whether it is going to have more of the same. Some sooiety leaders have suggested that perhaps there should be a obange that a charity ball would be a charitable provision for society, but charity balls in Indianapolis are not successful, and so, after all, there may be the same two step dances at tbe Propyltoum and sooiety will be happy because it will think it is gay.

THE South Carolinians have been receiving severe crltiolstn for Home of the measures they are adopting in their constitutional convention, now in session, but they are cortainly to be commended for the efforts they are making to prevent lyncblngs. A provieion in tbe new constitution is, that any county in which a lynching occurs, or where a prisoner is taken from the officers and suffers bodily Injury, shall be liable for damages in a sum not less than $1,000 to the person so Injured, or his legal representatives if he Is killed. The southern people have been greatly criticised for their seeming indiflerenoe to the increase in tbe number of lyncbings, and tbey ought to be given oredit for any effort to prevent such Increase.

WHEN the uew Republican governor of Maryland takes bis office in a few weeks, he will have the distinction of having mote offices at bla disposal than any other governor in the union. He is the first Republican who was ever elected to that position, and he finds it hedged about with importance. For years the Detnooratio party has gone on centralising the government and putting almost unheard of power in tbe bands of the governor. Because of the heavy negro vote in many counties It has been tbe custom to put the appointment of many oounty officers in the hands of tbe governor. At various times when a oounty showed a disposition to go Repnblloan, a bill would be rushed through tbelegls lata re making all the offloea appotntive, instead of elective. The governor appoints all the oounty treasurers and about one-third of the officials of tbe oity of Baltimore. More Important that all else, from a political standpoint, Is the fact that all the election officers are appointed by tbe governor, and the entire election machinery is in bis hands, Before many weeks be will be able to install a small army of office holders of Republican tendenclee, and, before another eleotion, tbe Republicans, taking advantage of the Democrats' own legislation, will have been able to strongly entrench themselves.

TP tbe administration is slnoere in tbe assertions that have been made, semiofficially, that it proposes to aee that the Monroe doctrine is strictly upheld, there will probably be another ohanoe to show tbat there la some backbone in the jwesi dent, when tt oomes to the efitin of state. Fa all other aflkirs be seems to have plenty of this necessary article. Great Britain is highly incensed because the state of Colombia withdrew concessions from a lot of English capitalists who were given the privilege of building •32*

a railroad through a very rich district of the state named, and refused to allow damages for the withdrawal. It seems that the EogllHhm«n did n«»t live up to tbe conditions under which tbeoouces sion was granted, but just the same when it was withdrawn they put in a claim for big damages. The lesser power offered to arbitrate the elaim, but during the arbitration proceedings an aflront was offered to the English representatives by a crowd of drunken Colombians and when the Colombian government made a public apology for tbe affair, the apology ground on Johnny Bull's finer feelings worse than the original offense bad done. And now, the English gov eminent is going to take steps to proteot the speculators who accepted a conces sion under certain conditions, and when they failed to fulfill them, demanded damages because tbe Colombian government withdrew from tbe arrangement The arrogant manner in wbioh tbe Eng lish government insists on treating af fairs with smaller and weaker governments is insufferable, and the administration oan place itself a great deal higher in popular esteem than the position if now holds if it will notify that government that a time has come to make a halt, at least as far as those affairs are oonoerned with the republics on this continent. Theemasoulated mugwumps who are forever protesting against what they call "jingoism," which is, however, but another name for patriotism, may not like suoh a polioy on the part of the governmeut, but it would please a great majority of the common people, who do more towards shaping the destiny of the country than tbe little coterie of mugwumps who look upon tbe common people as an inferior lot. A foreign polioy that would please tbe mugwumps would thoroughly displease tbe great majority of tbe people of the United States, and tbe president will make a mistake if he pays any attention tn tbe rantings of these people about "jingoism

IF W O IV ID E N S As a general thing investors are pleassd to receive only two dividends a year, and if tbey are paid with regularity are fully satisfied. When pne, however, eao receive fifty-two dividends in a year upon an investment of only three dollars, the matter deserves very serious attention.

The Independent of New York for forty-seven years has held the first position among the great religious literary and family weeklies of tbe land. It presents features for tbe coming year far in advance of any heretofore ottered. It bas tbe leading contributors of tbe world, it prints tbe best poetry, it has twenty one departments, edited by (specialists, devoted to Fine Arts, Science, Insurance, Finance, Biblical Research, Sunday School, Missions, Health, etc. The Independent is particularly fitted for intelligent people, whether profes sional men, business men or farmers, and for tbeir families. It costs but six cents a week, and gives a great deal for the money. A subscriber receives fifty two dividends a year.

The subscription prioe of The Independent is only three dollars a year, or at tbat rate for any part of a year,Jand a nam pie copy will be sent to any person free by addressing The Independent, New York Citv.
