MAN ABOUT TOWN.

There is little donbt now that the reappearance of the Harrison telephone people ^ast spring was nothing more nor less than part of the scheme by which the Bell company is manipulating matters so as to retain a monopoly of the telephone business in this city. It was promised in the council that within a short time, sixty or ninety days, there would be a competing coupany.

It is now nearly a year since the Bell company, with a paid lobby, took charge of the council to the end that Terre Haute should continue to pay monopoly rates for telephone service.

The Republican county committeemen were asked, about two weeks ago, to make an informal poll of Republicans in their respective precincts who were inclined to be in favor of free coinage. I understand that Chairman Benjamin says the result was a showing of nine in the county. It must have been very informal and the probability is that the true showiug would be near that number for each township and ward. This does not mean that these Republicans have decided to vote for Bryan but that they are believers in the free coinage doctrine. If the Republican managers desire to head off more converts to the doctrine, they would do well to supply their party voters with something in the way of a primer on the silver phase of the financial question and that p. d. q. The

few basic facts are what are not understood and the misrepresentation of them by the -advocates of free coinage is what makes the new student of the question naturally feel that there is something in the claims set up by the Harveys and Bryans. For lnstnuce, the farmer is told that when he borrowed a thousand dollars some years ago he could have paid the mortgage with a thousand bushels of wheat but now It will take two thousand. In other words, the debtor's debtf have doubled on him and the creditor capitalist can purchase twice as much with his dollar of cash as he could when he loaned the thousand dollars to the farmer. That kind Of talk ip having a big effect iu the agrictilturn 1 communities. The farmer does not recall, and he is not being told, that the price of wheat has been up to a dollar and higher since he borrowed the money and since the conspiracy went into effect. He 1 is not told of the shrinkage in all values, and is easily penmaded that by some sort of a contraction of the currency he is being squeezed by the "creditor class."

Therefore, a little silver inflation would make it easier for him. He is not told that the amount of money in the country now when we hear so much about "scarce money" and "contraction" is enough to divide it among the people iu amounts of #34.40 for each as against #18 at the time the diabolical conspiracy of 1873 was carried out. It. is on these points that primer enlightenment will dispel the first infat.iiation with the free coinage idea, an infatuation that grows on the victim if he gets I well along in the puzxle before he is shown the simple working of it. It doesn't do any good to call those who speak for the free coinage hart! names. Ou the oontrary it makes friends for the cause, especially if the person ttsiug invective is of th.

"creditor class." "Then the preju dice assists ignorance and delusion. One of the banks has printed its notes with the words "payable in gold" on the blank form. That will make votes for free coin age just as will the course of capitalists in refusing to make loans pending the decision of the question next November. The scarcity of numey will become more and more apparent, making times harder and stimulating the desire for a period of inflation at any risk. I heard one capitalist say that he hardly agreed with the idea of the gold-form blank note. He thought he would be satisfied with the money his government gave him, inasmuch as it is a .ernment by the people and he did not *ct to sell out anil move beyond Uncle 's border*.

The New York World procured some interview* with Terre Haute representative Democrats on the platform and ticket, and I the ones printed were all favorable to the I Chicago iwult, Crawford Fairbanks, John it. Lamb. Jacob Kolsem, and others who "were known to hare been gold standard men said the ticket, would be elected, and that they would support It. It was notice! that neither Collector Jump nor

Postmaster Dunham waa interviewed, and A they might !klooked upon aa being representative Democrat*, I asked Judge Jump if he were going to make a speech at the ratification meeting to-night, and be said he was not. Then be was asked if be was willing to talk for print, and be declined. He did say that be would vote for Bryan and Bewail, but he did not think it proper for him to go on the stump. It may occur to some person* that the administ ration at Washington is also of that ^opinion, and would not like to swe an interv i*.w even. Tbe Democrats wiU make strong *V»ti^t to-iught. There are reason* for 'itig so. Om la to belp "Gil" UcKuU in bb» candidacy for attorneygetterai, and many Republicans aa well aa

that his home Democracy ratified the action of the Chicago convention in good heartiness.

There is considerable cariosity yet as to what the Voorhees-Lamb programme is as to the senatorial contest. Little or nothing can be learned as to the senator's actual physical condition or his political plans. Certain it is that if he is to be a candidate for senator the selection of candidates for the legislature to-day in his home county will be of interest, bnt unless Lamb is preparing to spring a surprise on the public he is taking little interest in the nominations for the three places—two representatives and one senator. If the nominations are not by his absolute dictation it is pretty sure that Mr. Voorhees is not in the race. Up to this writing it does not look as if Lamb has any legislative candidates, but he may have some up his sleeve, just as he had Judge Taylor up his sleeve six years ago. The day of that county convention came before hardly anyone knew that Taylor was to be a candidate. Judge Mack was resting easy in the supposition that he would be renominated without opposition, and, indeed, with one or two friends started toward the court house at about the time when he supposed the convention had voted on the judgeship. On the way they meta wellknown lawyer who told them that "Dave" Taylor had just been nominated. The judge did not go to the court house.

"I don't care anything about the Nicholson law," said a man who takes his drinks when he wants them, "and wouldn't ordinarily be in favor of closing the saloons, but what I do kick on is the way in which the men in the saloon business insist on drawing me up in line with them simply because I go into their saloons and try to be pleasant with them while I take a drink. I have heard a dozen friends of mine complain of the same thing." It was suggested to him that perhaps he was in part to blame because he permitted the saloon man to think he was on his side. "Maybe that's so," said he, "but what is a fellow going to do? Have an argument every time he goes into a saloon There is no doubt that the saloon men have been led into the belief that they had all their patrons on their side because their patrons like this man did not want to speak plainly when in the saloon. There is something peculiar in the impression the liquor interest here has that everyone can be levied upon to belp the business. A man was telling about the request of a man in the business that his personal friends ask for a certain liquor, to the end that the saloonmen might believe there was a big demand for it. In no other line of businees would a man ask his personal fi'iends to become drummers for him but anything seems to go in this business, from using the police department of cities to force saloonkeepers and landladies to put money into the pockets of the men who make liquor or beer. It is this same code of business morals and courtsey which causes the men at the head of the liquor interest to imagine they have aright to call upon everyone to assist them in making money out of the business, law or no law, and to intimidate anyone who raises an objection, ,Hie

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

1ST" Sold by Druggists, 75c. A number of the creditors of the old Vigo Real Estate Company held a meeting last night to see if some method cannot be arranged to take the affairs of the company out of the hands of the receiver. It is thought that by the leading creditors paying into the hands of a trustee about twenty per cent, of their claims against the company they will be placed in a position where about one-third of their money can be realised. The company is the owner of some 875 lots, which in the course of time, with a revival in business, can be disposed of profitably. It has cost the company quite a good deal of money to go through the courts. A claim of $3,000 for the services of the receiver and his attorney has already been allowed, and there is another claim ready on the same account of about 18,800, which with court costs runs tbe total money spent since the affairs of the organisation went into the hands of a receiver up to 17,900.

The trustees of tlie First Congregational church have not met with success in the effort to dispose of their valuable property at Sixth and Cherry streets. The bids in vited for the property were rejected at the meeting recently, none being considered large enough for it. The effort to dispose of it will not be abandoned, however.

in capturing prizes at bicycle meets throughout this part of the country. He went up to -Danville, HI., this week, and won a racing saddle and a bicycle lantern offered as prizes in two races. John Engle, who went np with him, met with an accident while in the bome stretch, in one of the races, was thrown from his wheel, which was considerably damaged, but sustained no injuries himself!.

The Elks made a parade of the business quarter Thursday afternoon, led by the Ringgold band, and wearing their nobby white uniforms, which won the first prize at Cincinnati as being the most unique in the big parade. They made a very attractive appearance, and elicited much favorable comment on their fine appearance. The same uniform has been adopted for the Minneapolis convention next year, at which it is expected that more of the local members of the order will attend than took part in the Cincinnati parade.

The feeling against those who have filed affidavits against violators of the Nicholson law culminated in violence, as had been threatened. Charles Reedy, who runs a'saloon on north Twelfth street, while under the influence of liquor, went to the Vandalia freight house on Tuesday and assaulted Franklin N. Porter, who is employed there, and who filed affidavits against a number of saloonkeepers for keeping open on Sunday. The same day John R. Harkness, who is a bookkeeper for the Artificial Ice Co., endeavored to induce his brother Eld., who is a clerk for E. R. Wright & Co., and a member of the First Methodist church, to withdraw some affidavits he had filed against saloonkeepers or else refuse to appear when the trials occurred. The refusal of the brother to drop the cases brought on hot words, and finally John struck the other brother in the nose. Rev. H. A. Tucker took a hand in the game then, and filed a complaint against' John Harkness, on which he was fined $5 and costs by the mayor, Harkness taking an appeal to the Circuit court. The other brother did not want to appear as a witness, and when placed on the stand endeavored to be excused from testifying against his brother, but the prosecutor insisted on his testimony being given. The same day, Thursday, Reedy was fined $25 and costs for his brutal assault on Porter.

Goodman & Hirschler's great 25 and 50 per cent, discount sale has been well remembered and patronized, as the public has appreciated their sale and find goods sold as advertised.

Everybody in need of clothing should take advantage of this sale.

Amateur photography*

"It was generally thought two or three years ago," tam&rks the Syracuse Ij'ost, "that amateur photography would die out, as has many another craze, but the reverse has been the case. Although there is not the fuss made over it that there formerly was, more people have yielded to its fascinations during the last year than ever before." It is doubtless true that photography is not the fad today that it once was. The kodak fiend is hot so oommonly seen as was the oase a few years ago, and of course the bicycle must bear the burden of the camera's loss of popularity. Nevertheless there is something so fascinating about photography that it is hardly probable that it will ever die out until some new and better way of reproducing the face of nature is discovered. Those persons who adopted the camera just because their neighbors did have given it np, as might have been expected. These same peopile will eventually grow tired of thfe bicyfcle or of anything else. Novelty is what they seek, and as soon as the newness wears off the thing has no further attractions. But for persons who have a taste that way photography is ever a novelty. There is always some new process to try, some new experiment to make, and the real enthusiast never wearies of his camera. The amateurs are largely responsible for the great progress made in photography, and it is a fact that until the amateur entered the field the professionals knew only the rudiments of their art. The real camera "crank" is not satisfied to always follow. He must experiment and seek to produce new effects, and it is this possibility of invention and discovery that constitutes the greatest charm of the pastime.—Troy Times. finterprise*
