SATURDAY, DEC. 14,1895.

N THE HOLIDAY MAIL. ~'Tbe Holiday Mail has become Ode of the features of the Christinas season, and this year's number, to be issued next Saturday, will be up to the standard long ago established, as to contents. It will consist of sixteen pages, with a handsome illustrated cover, and will contain a great variety of reading matter incidental to the season. Bandsomely printed and bound, it will be a sou venlr of the season worthy of preservation. Ou account of the extra work of printing and binding, the paper will go to press Friday night, and advertisers who desire to be represented in its columns will see to it that their copy reaches the office at an early titn# in the week.

KKNTCCKY is likely to be depopulated when her people learn the fact that the new constitution or South Carolina makes it a criminal offense to sell a drink of whiskey less tban a half pint

ANeastern doctor makes the announcement that bicycle riding will, in the course of a half oentury, make us a nation of pigeon-toed people, the continued use of the wheel having that effect.

WIJEN Utah becomes a state the Pacific coast statffe will have as many senators as the old and extreme eastern states, the representatives of Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont in the upper branch of the national legislature being offset by those from the states of California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Utah and Idaho.

THE legislative apportionment case was argued in the Supreme court this week and a decision may be expected 'along about the first of January when the parties are getting ready to enter •, upon the preliminary work of organizing for the campaign of next year. On first thought most persons will naturally conolude that the court will pass upon the validity of tbe law along the lines of their respective party predjudice but the court may rise above partisanship in arriving at a decision. Of course, it depends on whtch party you area member of whether or not you will say the court arose above party. tm''i

IT IS a pity we haven't a public official known as the "national spanker," whose duty it should be to administer corporal punishment on some of tbe impudent foreigners who come here and endeavor to tell us how to run our country. The latest candidate for such deserved punishment is Dr. Ahlwardt, who bears a great reputation in his German home as a "Jew baiter," and who comes to endeavor to arouse a fooling against the Jews. He la an impudent walkingdele gate who ought to be kicked out of the country. It is about the quintessence of cheek for blm to come over here and tell us we must get rid of a certain class of our citizens, good citizens, too, because a few people in his own country dislike the Jews. The impertinence of tbe fellow is overpowering, and it is to be regretted that we haven't a national spanker to ohastise him.

THIS execution of Harry Hayward oapped the climax. Deaths of nervy men on tbe scaffold have been described time and again but always there was more or less of stimulated bravado in the demeanor of the victim whose death was deoided upon by twelve other men. Bnrry Hayward's last days and last minutes raise the doubt as to whether he was punished or whether his death will serve as an example to deter others from taking human life. Sorely he was not punished. He felt no remorse and there was no terror in the ooid blooded manner provided by the law for taking the Uvea of human being*. If any man with murder in hia neart has been deterred by apprehension of terrorism on the scaffold he will be less deterred after reading the story of that awful scaffold aoene at Minneapolis. And after all la over we learn from the autopay that Harry Hayward waa not altogether responsible.

ST. LOUIS gets the national Republican convention next year, winning the prise at a meeting of the national committee at Washington this week. San Franoiaoo waa her strongest competitor, bat It was an instanoe where distance lent QO enchantment. The date of the convention was fixed for Jane 19th, and those who have been agitating for a shorter campaign were defeated, as was expected. It is well enough to my that the business interests demand a shorter campaign, end that in these days of newspapers and telegraphs there Is no need of along contest, bat the majority

of the people want it long. They can read of the noted speakers in the newspapers, but they can't see them or hear them, except in a national campaign and to deprive them of this privilege by shortening such a campaign to a few weeks would be a disappointment. The busioees interests may deplore the fact that the campaign was not shortened, but the great mass of the people will be delighted at such aotion.

THE HARBISON WEDDING RUMOR. The newspaper sensation of the week has been the story from New York that General Harrison is to be married to Mrs. Dliamock, the nieoe of Mrs. Harri son, who spent muoh of tbe time of the Harrison administration in the White House where, her rare tact and intellectual attainments were of great servioe to Mrs. Harrison. Tbe New York news papers believe there is some foundation for the rumor and it is not oontradicted at Indianapolis by those who might be be expected to perform that service for the ex preaidentshould there be ocossion for its contradiction. It is reoalled in New York that General Harrison made many trips to that city during the past six months, and that so far as people who are supposed to know what is going on in that city in a political way were aware be was not there to meet leading men ih his party. The expl&natlon now is that he went to New York to see Mrs. Dim mcck. Tbe Indianapolis Journal says tbe newspapers have no right to pry into his personal affairs, and that if there is one subject more than another on which a man wants to keep his own counsel it is hia matrimonial affairs.

IT looks now that unless England baoka down froth the position she has taken in tbe Venezuela matter, or the United States does, that we are likely to be involved in a war with that country. The latest advices from London are to tbe effect that Lord Salisbury, the English premier, has absolutely refused to arbitrate the disagreement over the disputed territory in the South Amerioan republic, whiob means of course that she will enforce her demands with arms, a proceeding that the president of the United States will not peaceably submit to because of its violation of the principles of the Monroe doctrine, If congress will baok him up, and of that there can be no question, one or the other of the countries must back down or fight. War with such a power as England is not a pleasant thing to contemplate, but the future of this country in great measure depends on whether we shall permit foreign governments to encroach on this continent, and the people will support tbe president and oongress if it beoomes necessary to go to war to support the Monroe doctrine.

THB southerners seem to be awakening to the fact that their section receives a great deal of unpleasant notoriety, and consequently poor advertising, by the number of lynchings that take place. Tbe new constitution of South Carolina provides that communities where lynchings occur shall be liable to the heirs of the lynched for damages, and now the governor of Virgina has recommended to tbe legislature the passage of a law similar to this, making the community responsible for the crimes of this character. He proposes to require the payment by a oounty into the state school fund two hundred dollars for each thousand of its population for every lynching that occurs within its limits, beB'.des making the city or county pay the entire expense of the militia whenever it is called out to prevent lynching, and In addition to giving the right of action for damages on the part of the heirs of a prisoner and against the officer from whose oustody he may have been taken. He very justly declares that if such an act Is passed lynchings will no longer occur in Virginia.

JODOE THURMAN died at his home in Columbus Thursday afternoon. Re fell some weeks ago and though the injury then inflicted was not necessarily fatal he never recovered from the shock. The distinguished Ohian was 83 years of age on November 13. For more than a fear be has not been away from his home but he retained muoh of the mental vigor that made him known as a sturdy exponent of whatever cause he might espouse. He was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, but his family moved to Ohio when he was a boy. He was on the Supreme bench of Ohio before the war and after the war was a candidate for governor against Rutherford B. Hayes by whom he was defeated. He was twioe elected to the senate retiring from that body in 1881. In 1888 he was the candidate for vice president on the ticket with Mr. Cleveland. When Garfield was elected to suooeed him in the senate the Republican leader said in referring to his personal friendship for his predecessor that "the sweetest flowers that grow are found on the garden wall of polities." Senator Thurman's friendships were as strong among Republicans as among Democrats. He commanded the respeot of all men however they might differ with him In regard to political questions.

THK question of disposing of all municipal franchises at a profit to the municipalities is beooming a leading question in every oommunity where such franchises are granted, and it is safe to say that within a few decades the city that does not reoeive handsome returns for permitting corporations to use the streets and alleys will be ths exemption rather than the rule, as Is now the owe. An instanoe of the good |hat may be accomplished In this way Is furnished by New York. In disposing of a franchise for a street railway recently there was great competition between two rival companies, and they each offered a bonus of a quarter of a million dollars for it. It was finally deoided to offer it

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY

for sale at auction, .and it was struok ofl to a responsible company that agreed to pay, in additionto $250,000 bonus, forty» one per cent, of tbe gross receipts of tbe road for five years and after that forty' three par cent, for tbo next five years. It is calculated that the entire payment will represent fully fifty per cent, of'tbe gross receipts, and that within ten years the city will have received not far from a million and a half for this franchise. If tbe other street railway corporations 1c the city bad paid proportionately for their franchises, it Is estimated that tbe olty would already have received for these privileges from f15,000,000 to |20,000,000.
