differences between gome of the

lead^faPfB' the associations which have been giving race meetings here have at .t last become matters of public news, as indeed they would have been long ago in apy other city in the country. There has been bad personal feeling for several years, and in fact there has been war to the knife—often the knife used being •one that was oarried up the sleeve—but the newspapers have said nothing about

It. It was legitimate news and the readers of the papers and the public generally which is so repeatedly called upon to support the meetings had a right to know what was going on. Of course now that the facts about these public affairs are getting into the newspapers the men interested do not want the public to know what tbey have

been doing or what little things they will do when their personal feelings are involved. They are crying out that the airing of these troubles is "stirring up atrife." That is a good joke. With men running about hunting each other with knives and pistols and saying that if any one tells what they are doing that that is 8t|rrlng up 8trifet ls ^ne farce comedy.

The controversy between the Vigo Agricultural society and the Trotting as aooiation as well as with the T. P. A. as a third party came to a stop this week by the action of the Agricultural society people who decided to take no part in any further public dispute but to go ahead with their running meeting project Regardless of what others say or •do. They do not intend to be put in the attitude of antagonizing anyone and if there should be any further cla*h of interests it will be ro the part of those I? who may attempt to interfere with the society's programme. It is held that the sooiety has been doing business at this stand for many years and the members of the society say they see no reason why tbey should step aside now at the behest of anyone. It is not desired, of -course, to do anything that would be hurtful to Terre Haute but on the contrary they believe the tunning meeting would be of great benefit to the city.

They believe the great majority of citizens want a running meeting if for only ono shason that they want to try it once to see if they like it and may be thoy will ask for more of it. It is expected that at the meeting of the T. P. A. tonight something will be said on the subject of holding the running meeting the same week as the T. P. A, convenyV tion. The running meeting managers aay they will not go out of their way to have the meeting the same week but that at the same time they do not intend to go out of their way to please those who have treated them all along as if they were promoters of a ('atastrophe for the city. They thought, they were doing the T. P. A. a favor by trying to arrange a running meeting the same w^ek as the convention and were assured by nearly all the traveling men that such was the oase. Then the talk of overcrowdiug the hotel accommodations was sprung and urged in a manner that indicated more than concern for tho ooinfort of the visiting traveling men, that is, by those who first raised the point. If there had been sincere purpose and good will in the effort to arrange matters the Agricultural sooiety

twould

have been glad to concede most ny thing for the sake of securing the ost good for all but the first intimation ey had that they were not doing what ey had been assured would assist the cal T. P. A. in entertaining its guests as the talk that "whenever these Agricultural society people settle upon a date for the running meeting we will fix another date for the convention." The members of the sooiety also resent the assumption that the running meeting is to be a gambling scheme pure and simple. The opponents of the running meeting insist that running meetings are «\ch disgraceful affairs that the peok ^V|l t-ise in their might against all \nd secure the passage of laws sit™ Yn acted in New York and Illinois \bave brought to an end all manneri|||\raoing. It is not likely that Terre Haute will furnish any of the sentiment or influence in this direction.

At the time the Nicholson law test case was deotded here the friends of the law were eager to have it oarried to the supreme oourt at the first possible moment. The transcript was hurried over to ludlanapolls. Then came delay and the lawyers who appeared for the opponents of the law could get no definite information as to when the state would be ready

to argue the case. They petitioned for oral argument and then waited the pleasure of the attorney general who, after a few weeks, said he was waiting until test oases involving all possible points could be brought up to the oourt of last resort, that an omnibius case might be argued at one hearing. Since then test cases of the ninth section, whioh is known as the iooal option section, have been raised in a number of lower courts but still there is delay in the final hearing. The test case of the legislature apportionment act had not been raised at the time the appeal was taken from Judge Taylor's deoision in the Nicholson law oase. Since then the apportionment case has been decided in the lower oourt, and argued and submitted to the supreme court. This delay in reaohing the higher court with the Nicholson law and the change in the relative positions of the test cases,of the-two laws before the oourt gives rise to muoh conjecture &s to the motive in delaying the one until after the other is disposed of. Itf looks now as if the decision in the apportionment case will have been rendered before the Nicholson law is argued. There is no question that test

cases

of tho latter could have teen disposed of first had there been a desire to do so. The same celerity that characterized the appeal proceeding from this county would have carried up the oases from other counties long ago. There is a suspicion that there is a purpose to have the apportionment case out of the way before calling on the court to pass on the liquor law. The court is Democratic and Democrats are united in the hope it will decide against the law which makes it harder for them to elect a majority of the next legislature but the party is seriously divided on the Nioholson law which Governor Matthews signed. If the supreme court is susceptible to party influences, it is said, it would be more likely to sustain the Nicholson law after having decided against the apportion ment law.

The bituminous miners of the state are to ask for 66 cents a ton for mining after March 31. The price in the Pittsburg district is to be advanced from 64 to 70 cents on that date and the Indiana men having established a differential of 4 cents by the strike last summer, after their delegates had agreed on a 9 cents differential, they propose to maintain that distinction. The operators say they consented to the 60 cents rate as a temporary expedient but did not recognize it as binding them to the lesser differ ential and that they will not consent to it after March 31. There is no agreement with the men for the present prioe, it having been informally accepted when some of the operators gave way to the demand and thereby stampeded the operators' organization. It may be expected that a strong effort will be made to organize the operators to resist the 66 cent rate.

The ladies who have charge of the Kirmess entertainment for the benefit of St. Stephen's church are asking the advertisers to give their space in the newspapers for one day to advertising the Kirmess If they prevail upon all the advertisers to make this contribution they will Recure more newspaper space than they could possibly afford to pay for and whioh the newspapers could not possibly donate to the charity. It is a variation on the woman's edition idea.

The speculation as to the Yandalia ohanges goes on. There is less apprehension than when it was first announced that the McEeen regime is to retire. The in formation is abroad among the employes that the Pennsylvania management will enlarge the employing capacity of the company here. It is even said that instead of reducing the shop work it will be inoreased and that new and larger shops will be erected on the grotind bought for the purpose east of the city. This is so contrary to what is naturally to be expected that it may be said the wish is father to the thought.

A wholesale merchant said this week that trade has not improved with the coming of the first of the year. The traveling men report that it is both difficult to sell goods and to collect money. This merchant remarked that be is "tired" of the talk about finances and currency as being the disturbing cause in trade. The financial question is but incidental to the real trouble which is industrial inactivity. He holds that if we were not buying more than we sell abroad there would be no alarm over tho supply of'gold but that so long as we are compelled to send gold abroad to pay the balanco of the account against us there will be a shortage in the supply. For years when the government's revenues were sufficient to pay its expenses and we were selling more than we bought no fault was found with the money we had to do business with in this country. It is a small matter, he said, as to the character of the money if men are earning wages or are making money in trade. The thedium of exchange is but^i convenience and most anything we|pil answer that purpose if somethiigjpfe doing to call it into use. He cited tjgfinatanoe of a customer who wantedjir return some goods and'receive credit for them. The customer was not in debt to the house but was willing to let the amount be applied on his purchase next spring. It isn't the money question with that man it is the absence of trade.

Don't!—If a dealer offers you a bottle of Salvation Oil without wrapper or labels, or in a mutilated condition, don't touch it—don't buy it at any price, there is something-wrong—it may be a dangerous or worthless conterfeit. Insist upon getting a perfect, unbroken, genuine package. Be on your guard!

The case against Manager Dickson, of the opera house, for violating a city or dinance in erecting the storm doors at the Main street entrance at the opera house, was decided in favor of the city by Mayor Ross, ou Tuesday, the defendant*being fined one dollar and coHts. In delivering the Opinion, Mayor Rosa expressed the hope that the defendant would appeal tbe case to the higher courts in the effort to decide whether the city had exceeded her powers in passing the ordinance under which the prosecution was held. S. R. Hamill, who appeared for the opera house management, contended in his defense that prosecution for such an offense could be bad only under the state law, and that the ordinance at present in force is unconstitutional. Mr. Dickson immediately appealed the case to the Circuit court, where it has been set for trial next Monday. He announces that if he is defeated there he will carry it to the supreme court. He does not want to be placed, he sayu, in the position of a violator of any oity ordinance, but is anxious to find out what rights he may have in tbe premises.
