There's a stillness in the air that bodes .trouble, and you have qniy to read the [dailies to discover the nature of the troupe. The chairmen of the Republican jfnd Democratic county committees have ft^ued their calls for primaries to seleot luembersof thecommlttee tohavecbarge i*f next year's campaign, as well as to Ciect delegates to conventions to choose member from each party as a district 3 Jbalrman, who is also a member of the rtate committee. When the campaign itpens up, as it will, practically, within a ihort time after the committees are ihosen, we may expect bnt little besides impolitic* until after next November. While the national campaign will not |*ipen until after the national conveniens are hold irt June, locally the poll excitement will begin to manifest 'itself early in the year. We will have a jolty campaign to begin with in May and already the politicians in each ward are looking about for suitable men to run

rfpr

these responsible positions, one ^nnmber to be elected in each of the ten •ards. The members of the present mncll who retire are H. C. Urban in ^e First, J. W. Haley, In the Secoud, .Joseph Roach, in the Third, A. J. Crawford in the Fourth, Frank Wey, in the •THfth, Patriot B. Walsh, in the Sixth, Jehu Lewis, in the Seventh, 8. L. Fenner, in the Eighth. Nelson Hotlts, in the Ninth, and E. W. Messick in the Tenth. Doubtless many of these gentlemen will be candidates for re election but as no mau oan fill the position of councilman without exciting opposition in his own party, especially uuder the existing oiroumstanoes, it is possible that there may be some opposition. No matter whether one agrees with everything a councilman does or not, it must be admitted that the present oounoil has done many things well, and should there be opposition to the re-nomination of any of those who are to retire, it is doubtful whether this opposition oan concentrate Its force sufficiently to defeat the men, If they desire to go back to their thankless Jobs, Following the city campaign the county fight will begin. It Is altogether probable that all of the present Rapublloan officeholders who have the two year

will be candidates for re election,

and thus far there has been no objection raised to their re-nomlnatton. Two of the Democratic candidates are as well as

Camed

now, the candidates for treasurer

_ntl sheriff, John L. Walsh and Louts Seeburger. Each of them made a hard fight last time, and there will no doubt be a practically unanimous vote in their party convention to give them another ohanoe at the offloes they Vfeek. Then, when the big campaign 'opens up in dead earnest late in thesum mer, we'll have more politlos to the ^square Inch In Vigo county than we have jever bad before, and that's saying a great deal. Especially will this be true if ex-President Harrison Is re-noml-nated by the Republicans. Then we'il have politics for breakfast, dinner and supper, 1th generous portions thrown in as extras for iunoh between meals.

Next to a good square meal there is nothing the average Hoosler Is so fond or as polltios, and he'll be In it atrong text year.

It is gratifying to learn that our busllet* men who were troubled with a I mild form of the blues last week, on acfootlnt of the incessant rain that almost [paralysed business, pulled up enough in (the last few days before Christmas, to [make a satisfactory comparison with )he business of last year. Many of the {merchants did so well that .their Mien tao »h9Ad of i(w«» j-wnns onrrstmas season, which begins about ten days before the holiday. While some of them lid not have this good luck the totals are very satisfactory, when it is taken "nto consideration that there was practically nothing done during the week until Saturday. Instead of gloomy thoughts for the future the astonishing uslness of the last few days before iphristmas has put renewed confidence

In the breasts of our business men, and [they look hopefully forward to a good |fear*s trade for 1896. May their every lope be gratified is the wish of every idtftirer of Terre Haute and her prop

He informed the governor that he believes the west will insist on the nomination of a western man He thinks Texas will send a Matthews delegation to the convention. The political managers of Gov. Matthews, while they believe the Democratic party will be benefited by the president's message, are fearful that the controversy may make Seoretary Olney the presidential nominee."

lOopyrlght, 1896.] NEW YORK, Deo. 27,1805.

The bells are ringing out the Old and ringlngln the New Year. And sudrtflnly, as if during the year it countwl for nothing, some of us become conscious of an unpleasant little sensation, provoked by conscience. Somehow, »t doesn't seem as if In the year we had done all we might aB if the soft answer had not been offered often enough, and as if the year itself had been one in which there were few good works. The book of the year looks blotted and blurred. Here a sorrow, there a sin here a weakness, there a worry, but only a lew, a very few of the pages are white and fair, and worthy of being ofiered to the King of Kings. Take a hand glass and look at yourself. Yon are like most other peo pie, so you think neither better nor worse, and shrugging your shouidere, you flatter yourself that you haven't committed murdur, or been guilty of theft, or done any of tho-e dreadful things that all the wor.d, calls sins. No, you are not a murderess, nor a thief. Perhaps, though, you are just as guilty. Perhaps that one who killed his brother succumbed to a momentary temptation, and committed the one awful aot, But there are many ways of killing beside murdering the flesh Have you, by word or mouth, murdered the faith in any haman soul? Killed in any young soul its belief, eitKer in God or hiati? That i3 worse than material murder.

When Congress assembled on December 2, the Honorable George W. Farts took hla seat as the first Republican Congressman ever sent to that distinguished body from Vigo county. He was elected last year by a plnrallty of 2,569 in a district that two years before gave a Democratic plurality of 1,672. While a representative from the Eighth district he is actually a resident of the new Fifth district, which, according to the election returns of last year is Republican by a plurality of 4,555, and even in the great Democratic landslide of 1892( gave a Republican plurality of 1,226. While Mr. Fails is at present a representative from the Eighth district he wilt in the next congress be credited to the Fifth Indiana, for there will be no opposition to his, renomination, unless he commits some grave error, whioh those who know him best think is not possible. The last congressman Terre Haute had, before Mr. Faris, was the Hon. John E. Lamb, who like all Terre Haateans, made an enviable record for himself. He was one of the most prominent members of the House, and made a well deserved reputation as an orator and raconteur. Only recently, to establish the truth of the latter statement, a correspondent sent out from Washlngton.an Interview with Senator Palmer, of lllinolB, In which to establish a point, he quoted a story told by the

Hon. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute," and a pretty good story, it was, by the way.

act without hoping to gain something from it—that must be awful. A living unbelief seems to me the worse state into whioh a human soul oan get. No wickedness is comparable with it. Look in the glass again, and watch as your eyes flash, how they seem to say: "We are honest we have stolen nothing." Perhaps not, but you never were hungry, you never needed the money to buy food and warmth for those you lore but you have stolen just the same. Perhaps not in the material way, but surely when you are bitterly envious and malicious, you area thousand times worse than the poor wretoh who steals to satisfy hts hunger. Beoause you know better, and he is ignorant of so much. You go to ohuroh, bend yonr pretty bead in a devout way, make yoar prayer after each commandment and thank God that you are not like other people.

But all you trouble yourself about is the exact word of earth, and though at other times you ore clever enough, you willfully blind yourself, and refuse, to read between the lines*

It is a queer little old book, with its cover worn, with its fly leaves written apon, though the Ink is pale, and with a bit of b'ue ribbon, a lock of blonde hair, and one or t«ro religious pictures' for book marks. It says you may sin against this first commandment by giving yoar first waking thought to anybody bat the good God who created you, and giving yoar last thoughts to anybody bat Him, and forgetting to confess yoar sins to Him and give thanks to Him because He has cared for you all the long day through. The qaatnt old saint who wrote the book says that you break the first commandment when yoa are ImpaUeet of what humbles you when yoa allow your mind to dwell on your troubles rather than on oar blesstags, and when yoa depend on your own cleverness or yoar own ability for she cess Instead of realising that It to as nothing unless the great Father of all guides yoa.

the bye, he considers it a particular sin for you not to take good care of your health. This saint is a sensible one. Of the seventh commandment, be says bewaretof greediness, extravagance in dress, of wicked books, wioked talk, and of- oaring altogether too much for the luxuries of this world, and not enough for the world to come. Then he warns you, when he oomee to the eighth oom mandment, to be careful about your money, to spend it honestly, to be glad and willing to give to those who need, and be emphasizes as a mean sin, the desire to pry into other people's affairs. I told you he was a sensible saint. In with the ninth commandment may be read the order forbidding the telling of a secret, the saying of malicious things, the being glad to hear ill of others, and giving to a bad servant a good character. Isn't my saint practical? Then, with the tenth commandment, we are warned against being discontented with what we have, and we are advised against being annoyed at the sight of beauty or gold possessed by others. Of course, he said a great many other things, but these are the ones that I specially re member.

NSW RESOLUTIONS.

And while the bells are tolling, I am trying to think bow best to keep the book of the new year free from the black marks that mean mistakes. And the law and the prophets are summed up in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself Do wet Is it love that induces yoa to tell me a witty and malicious story aboat my neighbor? Is it love that induces yoa to hurt me to the heart as yoa tell me of a fault in some one that I love? Is It love that impels me to answer yoa In en ugly and, sarcastic way? And to attempt to lessen that whioh seems to you to be very great? It is a miserable, poor love, if yoa call It that. I wonder when we all are to be judged whether macb will be forgiven because of real love—ft seems to me It will. Women all the world over make their love their inland starve themselves, eoipetlme* mentally, sometimes physically, beoause of Its deny themselves much for dear love's sake and then are hart by it. It isn't Wise to luve well. Love a child some day It strikes yon. The blow doesn't hurt. It la given with the soft hand ota child, hat too often the day oomee i* the futnre when the blow given. in a different way, and It hurts yonr heart hnrta it eo that the wound makee bruise, and yoa never forget it. 8DB» day yon lot» man.

you joy in being his slave. And the day comes when he tires of you. You have loved too much. My friend, if you want to be a happy woman, have no strong emotions. Let all your loves be placid ones, and then your heart will never be hurt. It ta true the fullness of life will never come to you, but you will be saved so much pain, and that means so much when you area woman. And the bells swing to and fro, and it seems just now as if they were singing a megry sort of song, but they are not. It is a death song. It is

GOOD BYK TO NINETY FIVE. What have you lost in ninety five? At K\*me house there stopped a little white uearse and took away a dead ohild, and that mother thought her grief the greatest. Atsorae bouse no hearse waited, but children died to those who loved them, died such deaths that their names are no longer spoken. To one woman ninetyfive brought a bridal veil another it sbrouded in crape—which Is the happiest? And what will come in ninetysix? Every year we hope for something better, and every year the same old story repeats itself. And we close our eyes and see Solomon in all his glory, and hear him say "There is nothing uew under the sun." Men die, now as then, but not because they love women. Women suffer because they are women, and the word woman equals the word fool. And the days are no longer and no more fuil of sunshine than they were thousands of years ago. And we talk about our knowledge, and our great .inventions, and we are as ignorant as the lowest of the slaves who stood around and waited on the wise old Egyptians.

We have a great country—we hear it called that often enough to know—and yet it is a country badly governed, and from whioh not one-half of the good possible is gained. We call ourselves a great people, and yesterday found all our interests in a murder trial to-mor-row will concentrate it on the sneak thief, and the next day on a professional liar. And of the making of books, there is no end. And how many of them are worth reading? How many of us are saints? How many of us are sinners And the bell tolls, and seems to say, "Not many! not many! not many!"

WJESLZI, WHAT ARB WB TO DO? Let UBdo the best we oan. Start out with the intention of making some one soul happy each day in the year. Put away all the mean little sins. Tnose are the sins we women incline to. Envy, malice, hatred and all unoharitableness. Cultivate SmiTeS, not ~tears^ Cultivate satisfaction, not discontent. Cultivate belief in humanity. Never mind if you are deceived once, twice or three times Keep on believing in people and being happy. There is a deal of happiness to be got, but it needs looking after.

Take up your hand-glass and look again, while I whisper something to you. A happy woman, my friend, is a beautiful woman. Malice makes wrinkles around the lips and draws the corners of the eyes down so that they seem small. Hatred gives a hard look to u»e (ikuj, while uncharitableness causes wrinkles. But if you are merry, your eyes will brighten and appear larger, your lips will laugh and be fuller, and no wrinkles will be visible. Therefore, if for no other re&son but to keep your good looks, a woman ought to be good. Then, too, a woman ought to be good beoause a man should have something to look up to. I like men, but I never heard of a man teaching another man to be loving and generous. It is the women who make them noble, strong and what they should be, manly. Therefore, I want every woman who, with me, is listening to the bells, to be just as good as she oan, and then she will be happy. I know she will I am sure of it. No woman ever did what was right without enjoying the sensation. It doesn't make any difference whether she was applaaded by other people or not, she knew she had done right, and there came content. That i^a beautiful state to be in.

Poor old Ninety-five! How soon you will be forgotten! The woes and the worries, the joys and the pleasures, will be blotted out and every thought will be given to the future. It's yoars,

THIS BEAUTIFUL NKW YBAR BOOK. It is bound in white vellum, and has three hundred and sixty-six snow-white pages. What are you going to write on each one? A prayer at the top. Then at the foot of each page there ought to be a thanksgiving, for no matter how bad each day may have been it might have been worse. There is a deal of satisfaction in thinking that Eighteen ninetysix ia here. The book is In yoar band, in mine and in many neighbor's. I am going to write in mine a prayer taken from the service of the Jewish New Year's. It is this: "In the Book of Life may I be remembered and Inscribed for happy life and peace." It is a good prayer Write it in yoar book. And then I will say to you and yoar neighbor and the people next door, "God bless yon and give yon a Happy New Year, and in the New Yew that you may have yoar heart's desire is the wish of BAB.

Twenty-sixth Year

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

When William Foster, the inventor of the "Foster hook'' for kid gloves, died recently in New York, he left an estate of upwards of $2,000,000, all made out of that simple contrivance.

One of the inmates of the por asylum in Cleveland has become addicted to a strange habit, whioh the doctors have been unable to break except by confinement. He has a mania for inhaling the fumes of gasoline, whioh produces a kind of intoxication. He is constantly making raids on the lamps of the institution^ from which he aoquires a handsome jag. The stuff ha9 almost the same effect as the genuine old "red-eye."

One of the smallest men and one of the biggest girls in the country live down in Georgia- The former is Tom Coster of Bazeiburst, who Is 24 years old is three feet nine inches high and weighs fifty-six pounds. He has two younger brothers who are each more than six feet tall. G. W. Roddenberry of Okenfenokee, has a girl 13 years old who weighs 175 pounds, and a boy of 7 years who weighs 110 pounds,.and wears a number six shoe.

The Sultan of Turkey is described as a dark little man, pale-faced, with restless eyes and a lady's hand. He is a genuine Turk, an old-fashioned, pious Mohametan, wlth.no European leanings. He believes thoroughly in the idea that the sultan is the father of his people, and in the aute-rooms of his palace at Yildiz there are always to be seen long rows of bearded old men, sitting patiently day after day telling their beads and waiting for an audtenoe that is always granted at length. They oome from all parts Of Islam and with every kind of a complaint for redress.

A sudden and unprecedented demand for cents has lately sprung up in various parts of the country, and the Philadelphia mint has been turning out the bright copper ooins at a rate unprecedented in the history of the establish--ment. Nine presses, with a capacity of $500 worth of pennies an hour, have been* busy for weeks filling the demands.The reason for the demand 1B that in Philadelphia an eight-oent exohangofare has been established by the streetoar railroads. In Detroit a three cent farff has been established on the street railroads. Changes of a similar charaoter have also been made in other oitles. Then a great many defective cents have been received for redemption lately. Bargain-counter prloes, with odd cents have something to do with the demand, too.

Charles Roberts, his wife, and three children have just finished a fifteen-hundred-mile walk, from the interior of Texas to their old home in Delaware county, Ind. Roberts removed to Texas some years ago, but failed there, and things went so badly that last summer there seemed nothing but^ starvation ahead, so he determined to return to his old Uieuiid lu uio old home, tie had no money to spend in railway fares, and decided that the only thing to do was to walk. The youngest child Is a boy, aged 7, and the other two children, a boy and a girl, are twins, 12 years old. Roberts says they walked the whole of the distanoe except about twenty-flve miles. They had a little money, and the farmers all along their route treated them with great kindness. Parents and children were in good shape physically at the end of their tramp, but showed many evidences of the long walk and exposure in all kinds of weather.

S3 ATS EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS. Indiana always has been pre-eminent in its expenditures for public schools. The people have cheerfully paid a higher per cent, of levy in the tax assessment for the sobool fund than of nearly any otker state. At onetime It was the highest. The annual report of State Treasurer Scholz shows that the state is now spending more than $8,000,000 annually on its public schools. For higher education, such as the appropriation for the State University, State Normal and Purdue, it expended $228,922 last year.

At the state convention of Baptists held here a few weeks ago one of the chief topics of discussion was the better support of'the denominational college at Franklin. It was stated that the faculty while of superior ability was employed at a less aggregate cost than the faculty of any college of like size. It was then proposed to set about raising an endowment of $100,000. At a meeting of the trustees Wednesday a plan of campaign for raising this amount of money was decided upon. It ts assumed that John D. Rockefeller will duplicate the offer made by him in the last addition to the endowment, and give $20 000 if the baptists of Indiana will raise $80,000. Mr. Rockefeller next to his Standard Oil company takes most interest in the Baptist charch. Secretary Carr will shortly begin a campaign in the state for subscriptions to the fond.
