ON THE QUI VIVE.

J. W. Cruft, to whom reference was [made some time ago as a possible candiIdate for state senator on the Republican ticket this year, has finally decided that he will not be a candidate. When questioned about it this week he said: "No, 11 am not candidate for the Republican nomination for state senator, and could not accept the honor if tendered me. I appreciate very highly the suggestions which my friends have made in this line, bat do not desire to have my name considered in that direction. The prospects of Republican success were never brighter in the history of the party than they are this year the people want a change from the present depressed condition of affairs, and a return to the days of prosperity under Republican administration. The Republican party in 1896 will speak through the ballot box for the whole people, and the next United States senator from Indiana will be Hon. W.

R. McKeen." Mr. Cruft would have made an ideal candidate for senator, and the votes he reoeived would not have been limited to his own party. Such men should be nominated for legislative offices by both parties, responsible busi ness-men, who would devote their time to the necessary business of the state and not pile up useless law* on the statute books never to be enforced. Vigo county has be^n tolerably well favored in the way of legislators in the past, and it is very likely that both parties will make the effort this year to nominate their strongest and most reliable men as candidates for the legislature especially as Vigo county has two rival candidates for the 0. S. senate.

The spectacle of a girl of thirteen years being arrested for drunkenness on the publie streets is not calculated to inspire one with any particular admiration of the manner in whioh the law against the •ale of liquor* to minors is enforced. Some one ought to ba punished for such work as btaat.

The further we getaway from the contempt proceedings instituted by Judge Taylor against Mont Oasey, the Express reporter this week, the more unreasonable and uncalled for do those proceedings seem. Whatever may be the personal feelings of an individual towards judge his oourt should be respected and its dignity upheld. It should be as much the duty of the official as the individual to maintain that dignity, and. suoh actions as that of Judge Taylor do not add to the dignity of his court or inorease the persoual respect for him. That was a very commendable resolu tiononhls part, however, in whioh he said that hereafter the aotlon of the oourt in contempt proceedings would be restricted to the utterances of papers directly aimed at Influencing the oourt or jury during the trial of causes, and in suoh oases he would not hesitate to act. Had he pursued this plan altogether he would had smoother sailing during his entire judloial career.

There have been several deaths from diphtheria recently, and there will be others if some of the persons who have diphtheria at their homes are not more eareful about appearing in public places. It seems strange that some persons will exhibit suoh little regard for the welfare of the community at large by disobeying the law, and taking chances of spreading suoh a disease. The law against suoh offenders should be striotly enforoed, end the penalties should be applied without regard to position or standing. When suoh penalties are enforoed there will be no more suoh epidemlos of coa* taglous diseases as we have had here.

The Terre Haute man, Hid Bell, didn't win the prise in the luter-state oratorlal contest at Indianapolis last night, he getting fourth place. The dispatohes tell this morning that the opera house here the exercises were held wereoonil into a "rough house" by the row of the student* who were present renting the different colleges In the f%tion. The principal thing that used as an argument against the education of the present day is tot that the oollege students seem to

Tik that it is their duty to beoome either "sissies," "ninnies" or rowdies. The spectacle of a lot of young men, supposed to represent the wealth, education and social standing of the people Wreaking up a public meeting by a free fight over some trifling subject, and acting like a lot of roughs from the wild west Is not a pleasing one. A crying need in our oolleges seems to be a chair of Deportment. ______

The new phs^ street opening proceed I "5 M1® truth of what Q. 3 S S 5 «we have a great a ted cltfxens here who rv ^Urlots who are for the old nagfif an appropriation ao companies it—they are for public improvements If they don't have to pay for them. When the donation was offered by Mrs. Deming for a new park, provided Ohio street was opened, Q. V. prophesied that jao present inhabitant of Terre Haute would live to see such opening consumated, nor would be have any children or grandchildren to see it. The reoent developments establishes the truth of that statement.

ACI0&8 SALARIES.

There Is little wonder that so many ambitious young Americana are Mixed with the "stage fever," for a successful actor receives remuneration that Is almost fabulous to the average person in Umi

ordinary walks of life. No clergyman, physician, painter, author or ma* stolen oan earn so much money as we pay to a popular actor, says a writer in the New York Press. A famous states­

man who founds or-destroys a nation is, so far as financial remuneration is concerned, not s5 important a personage as one of our fashion able performersi- Sir Henry Irving will earn more money this season in America than Lord Sails bury will receive for carrying England through its present troubles. Sandow's salary for holding a brass,band on his' wishbone is greater than that allowed to the president of the United States for upholding the dignity of the country. Yvette Gilbert receives more for a single sacred concert than is paid to many a country clergyman for preaching a year. We understand that John Drew receives

$500

a week a similar sum is paid E. H. Sothern, and, it is stated, that Ada Rohan's salary la f900 a week. During their first American tour the Kendals made a profit of $250,000.

THE BABY-WHAT IS IT?

A Crying Evil, a Soft Bandle of Love, a Midnight Brawler or What?

A London paper has been fishing for definitions as to what a baby iB, and received a long list of definitions. That which took the prize was-,t^ftiny feather from the wing of love, dropped Into the sacred lap of motherhood." Among the definitions were the following:

A troublesome compendium of great possibilities. The only precious possession that never 'M 4 free

excites envy. A bold asserter of the rights of speech.

A thing everybody thinks there is a great deal too much fuss about, unless it is their own.

A thing we are expected to kiss and look as if we enjoyed it. The only thing needful to make a home happy.

There Is only one perfect speolmen of a baby in existence, and every mother is the happy possessor of it. J|

The most extensive employer of female labor. The pulp from which toNHtaes of life's book are made.

A padlock on the chain of love A soft bundle of love and trouble whioh we can not do without.

The morning caller, noonday crawler, midnight brawler. The magio spell by whioh the gods transform a house into a home.

A dlminitive speolmen of perverse, iiu* inanity that could scarcely be endured if he belonged to some one else, but, being our own, is a never-failing treasury of delight. \J

A mite of humanity that will cry no harder if a pin is

Btuok

into him than he

will if the oat won't let him pull her tall. A crying evil you only aggravate by putting down*

The latest Petition of humanity of which every couple think they possess the finest oopy.

A native of all oountrles, who speaks the language of none. The sweetest thing God ever made and forgot to give wings to.

That whioh increases the mother's toll, deoreases the father's cash, and serves as an alarm clook to the neighbors.

A pleasure to two, a nuisanoe to every other body, and a neoessity to the world. An inhabitant of Lapland.

87 A IE FLOWERS

Indiana hasn't adopted a state flower, although her legislatures have passed laws relating to nearly every other subject under the sun. In this she is behind a great many other states. The following "state flowers" have been adopted by the votes of the public sohool scholars of the respective states: Alabama, Nebraska and Oregon, the goldenrod Colorado, the coJumbine Delaware, the peach blossom Idaho, the syringa Iowa and New York, the rose Maine, the pine cone and tassel Minnesota, the oyprlpodium, or mocoasin flower Mon* tana, the bitter root North Dakota, the wild rose Oklahoma territory, the mistletoe Utah, the lego lily, and Vermont the red clover. In addition Rhode Island and Wisconsin have adopted a state tree, the apple being selected by both.

INFLUENTIAL OLD AOS. The rapid pace at whioh the Amerioan people live causes us to age before our time, and the man of fitty is looked upon as old, and olose to the period when his usefulness ends. The most influential people in Europe, however, are far beyond this age. Queen Vlotoria is nearly 77, Lord Salisbury is 65, Prinoe Huhenlohe is 71, Count Galuohowsky, the new Austrian chancellor, is 65 Prinoe Lobanoff, the Russian ohauoellor, is 67? Slguor Crisp, the recently deposed prime minister of Italy, is 77 the pope and Mr. Gladstaue are £6, and Prince Bismarck is 81.

The Odd Fellows have completed arrangements for an old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration this year, and the following are the officers of the general committee, representing the different lodges, that will have charge of the affair: James B. Harris, chairman Robert 8hoffner, secretary, and W. J. White, treasurer. A oontraot was closed this week with President Harrison, of the street car company, tor the use of Harrison park on that day, and invitations will be extended to the lodges in the surrounding towns to participate in the exercises. The grand offioers and other speakers of note will be present, and the occasion will be made notable. Hie entertainment Is not a money-mak-ing affair, and there will be no admission fee charged to the grounds. The looal lodges have taken hold of the matter with enthusiasm, and there oan be no question bat the celebration will be the most successful one held hers in many

A LONG AND DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC CAREER SUDDENLY COMES TO AN END.

After an Illness of Three Weeks this Distinguished Lawyer, Diplomatist, Politician and Lecturer Passed Away Shortly Before Seven O'clock this Horning—Sketch of His Life. V" 5lonel Thomas H. Nelson died at renty-five minutes before seven o'clook morning at his rooms in the Moin block. He bad been sick for sevweeks, but was improving, and Dr" Jenkins, who had been attending him, found him so much better yesterday that he deoided that he would not visit him to-day. About three o'clock this morning his condition took a change for the worse, and the physician was sent for. Dr. Jenkins did all that was possible to bring relief, but without avail, and he passed away at the hour above named, retaining consciousness until the last. His nieoe, Mrs. E.W.Cole man, of Vincennes, and his attendants were present at the time of his death. Mrs. Coleman arrived here yesterday on

Bold.

He owned

some lots in or near Toledo, but it was vacant property and unproductive. He sold a portion of this some time ago, and little is known bere as to the value of the remainder.

Thomas Henry Nelson was born in Mason county, Kentucky, in 1820, the eon of Dr. Thomas and Frances (Doniphan) Nelsoa. He was a brother of Gen, Wm. Nelson, whose tragic death at the Gait house, Louisville, at the bands of Gen. Jefll C. Davis, during the war created a great sensation. Another brother, Col. A. D. Nelson, was a distinguished offloer in the regular army. Mr. Nelson came to Indiana in early life, and located in Bockville, where he practiced his profession for six years. The bar of Parke oounty at that time was a most distinguished one, and its members were noted in later years for their prominence in national affairs, furnishing diplomatists, jurists, governors and other public officials in numbers hardly seeming possible in a community so limited. In 1867 he came to Terre Haute, and has since been prominent in publie affairs, as a lawyer, author, politician and diplomatist. He made bis first race for public office in when he was a competitor of D. W. Voorhees lor oongress. A most brilliant joint canvass of the district was made, attracting attention throughout the entire country. The bitterness of political warfare did not enter into the relations of the candidates, and the friendship that existed then has continued since, and there will be no store slneere mourner at the death of CoL Nelson than bis first adversary in the political taeum. The day Col. Nelson was defeated for congress by Mr. Voorhees the Republicans elected their first president, and one of the first acts of President Lincoln after taking his office was to appoint Col. Nelson envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to

Chili, an oOUx be held from 1M1

to IMS. He filled the portion with conspicuous ability, and the knowledge gained of the affiUnof the South American rep a biles has been valuable In bis publie addresses In conveying to the people some idea of the conditions existing in these countries. He iedgaed his position In 1S86 and resumed the practice of law in Terrs Haute. He was an

eleotor on the Republican ticket in 1888, and when President Grant took his office be appointed Col. Nelson minister to Mexico, a position he held until 1873. His services were valuable to bis country in that position, and his knowledge of the affairs of our sister republic was perhaps unequalled by any man in publie life. He returned to Terre Haute in 1878, and since then has filled no publlo position, occupying his time with his literary pursuits, and his services for the party of which he was one of the founders. He was a candidate for presldeatlal elector In 1870, 1880 and 1888, and made thorough canvasses of thestate, his reputation as a publlo speaker assuring him large audiences wherever he spoke. During recent years he lectured very frequently In many of the principal cities of the country on Latin-American republics, a subject which his experience and dlplomatle service rendered very familiar to him.

Col. .Nelson was married early In life to Miss Elizabeth Key. a daughter of Col. Marshall Key, a prominent resident of Mason oounty, Ky.' She died In Maltrata, Mexico, March 28,1872, during his term as minister to that country. »he was a woman of most brilliant attainments and took a large and effective part lib her husband's labors. Of this union but two children survive, Marshall K, Nelson, Of Lln&rlo, Texas, and Mrs. Harriet Ash win, of Brooklyn.

Col. Nelson was a familiar figure, not only here in Tprre Haute where he was known and loved, but generally throughout the country, wherever prominent men assembled. His genial disposition made him a pleasurable companion, and his knowledge of public men and events, made him a welcome addition to every social circle and gathering. One of his last appearances on an occasion of this kind was at a dinner given by Congressman Farls, shortly before he left for Washington last winter. He was never before so brilliant as on this occasion, and his anecdotes of men and deterlptlon of events prominent In the history of the country kept the company in wrapt admiration. He there explained his familiar claim to being thirty nine years of age, a standing joke with him for many years. He said that when be found himself, at thirty-nine years of age, a grandfather, he made up his mind that he would never grow another year older, and since then he had persistently claimed, with eaoh anniversary, that he was celebrating his thirty-ninth birthday. He was a remarkably well preserved man for his years, and only those who were familiar with his career would*have guessed his age.

A BUSINESS CHANGE. Mr. Samuel C. Budd has severed his conneotion with the firm of A. C. Bryoe A Co. and has accepted a position with the well known firm of Hoberg, Root A Co. as general manager of their retail store. Mr. Budd has for years managed the business of the firm of Bryoe A Co., and under his supervision the business has grown until It now stands as one of the leading olothing bouses of the olty.

The firm is to be congratulated on securing the servloes of suoh a man, and likewise Mr. Budd is to be congratulated in securing suoh an honored position with an old and established firm like Hoberg, Root A Co. We have no hesitancy in predicting for the future management a continuation of the increase and rapid growth of the business. Mr. Budd will assume bis duties at Hoberg, Root A Co's Monday, March 16th.

HINTS FOR LENT,

Why not make the punishment fit the crime during lent? Would it not be practical penanoe for the good whist player to play only with a poor player?

For the stout woman to wear no oorsets? For the girl with curly hair to brush out the kink?

For the girl with pretty feet to wear shabby shoes? For the olub Woman to stay home and nurse her baby?

For the professional joker to relate only new jokes? For the girl with straight hair to abstain from the curling-iron habit?

And for the newspapers to abstain from mention of the "new woman For the girl with pretty teeth to laugh only w^en there's something to laugh at?

For the current-topic classes to abstain from disouMion of the lsst divorce case?

For the expert bicycler to refrain from telling how many miles his cyclometer registers?

But, then, these things dooe, wouldn't lent defeat its purpose and be a season of joy Instead of sorrow?
