ON THE QUI VIVE.

In the latter part of 1891, the city of Terre Haute sold 175,000 worth of bonds. Of thiaamount $40,000 was for the benefit of the general fund and $35,000 for the sewer fund. They were straight five year five per cent, bonds, and were dated November 2, 1891. Hence they will fall due the day before the November election. The finance committee of the council is in somewhat of a predicament. It will be several months before the taxes for 1806 will begin to come in in any great amount and the general fund money is needed. The same is true of the sewer money, with the contemplated improvements to our sewer system. But in the present state of the money market it is almost certain that the bonds cannot be refunded unless there is a provision in the refunding bonds that principal and interest will be paid in gold. The city of Terra Haute, its common council or finance committee cannot regulate that. The man wbo lend money on bonds have a disagreeable habit of fixing the conditions under which they will lend. Yet the credit of tfhe city of Terre Hauteis giltedged in an the money markets of the couqtry. She lias never defaulted in the payment of a single obligaition, and should not be req 1 mJ to prtrtro yro lao in her bonds. If her experience is like that of others in recent bond sales, the gold clause will have to be a part of the contract. Now what is puzzling the members of the council is, which is the best way. Advertise a sale of refunding bonds without a gold clause, and take chances on selling them, or borrow the money and take up the bonds November 2, and then after the election is settled sell new bonds. Which is the best? _____

A little boy named Grover Cleveland ISAACS was thrown out of a cart on south Third street one day this week but fortunately was not dangerously hurt. This calls attention to the fact that the distinguished gentleman after whom he was named was thrown out of a balloon in Chicago in July last, and hasn't been heard of since.

The money discussions on the street corners are becoming so acute now that an ordinary flst fight is merely an incident. This week two very well known business men got so excited on the corner of Sixth and Main streets that there was a regular knock down and drag out fight for a few seconds, and but for the interference of mutual friends, serious damage would have resulted. A few minutes later near the same Tspot a prominent attorney, tf free* silver man, got into an dispute with another free silver man over some trivial point In their mutual creed of faith, and there was another fight. Like the other it ended without great disaster. The participants in these encounters escaped in a happier manner, however, however, than did two less prominent debaters, on north Third street Thursday afternoon. These latter poor fellows ended their argument in a fight in which the police interfered, and they got a free ride to jail, and a fine in the bargain for their over-isealous devotion to their party principles. Then there was another fight on Wall street, between a couple of colored men over gold and silver. When the case reached the justice's court for a final decision the lawyers took around at it, and Adjourned to the sidewalk ty settle tiie difference. It is just to say that the lawyers' dispute was not over money, btit grew out of it.

Here is a list of disturbances that I have beard of In the last few days, and goodness only knows how many others may have occurred. Just where it is going to end no oue can tell. If the intensity of feeling oontinues to increase during the remaining days of the campaign, the police commissioners will have tonnaterially increase the police force, or the Governor will be compelled to call out Company B. to preserve order and keep the street corners clear for business—if there is any. By the latter part of October the "Crime of *78," now noted in song and story, will probably have more crimes to answer for than the participants In it ever dreamed of.

And what good results from these heated arguments? How many votes have been changed from one aide to the other? None, nor will there be. One man will quote a string of statistics regarding the production of gold and silver since creation, and will be answered In like manner, and both will pretend to a knowledge about these subjects that even the eminent Mulhall would not claim They will grow red in the face, shake their fingers and fists under each other's noses, until finally one of them get* the "laugh" on the other, Mid then the crowd disperses.

Here is a fair example of the majority arguments that occur, that is as so far as the attainment of any result. This actually occurred oo Main street one day last tiwk. A well known young man who believes In free silver, was led into a discussion with a stranger. The latter was getting a shade the best of it, in favor of gold, when one of the free silver man's friends stepped up to him and whispered in his ear. "Ask him what Blaine said about allver." After sparring for an opening a few miantea, shaking his finger in a most convincing manner under the stranger's nom. he asked with a now-I'ire^ot-youair •'My friend, what did Blaine say about silver?"

The stranger replied: "Oh! well, I don't pretend to be able to quote every authority on the subject,"

Said the free silver man with an air tint •mm."', to say 'Yon know but yon won tell." "Oh! he was a leader of your party,

i»-iS

and you ought to know his views. Now, what did he say about silver?" Stranger-^"Well, I confess that I don know that he ever said anything on the subject. What did he say?"

Young Man—"Well, that is to

Ray­

ah em!—well, I'll be blanked if I know what he said!" There the crowd gave them the "laugh," and both walked off in confusion. The stranger escaped easily, but the young man never. For several days his friends called him up at Regular intervals to try and get him to explain what Blaine said, every customer in his place of business manifested an unusual interest in the sayings of Mr. Blaine tyid he finally declared "That the next blankety-blankety blank (as Mr. Bryan puts it) who said 'money question' to him would be put so far in the clear that the Crime of '78 would be out of sight." He's of athletic build, and all references to Mr. Blaine have therefore ceased.

An inexperienced thief stole an ice che|t from a second ward man the other day. If he had been experienced he would have bought a chest and stolen the ice.

I am a poor guesser, so far as opera houses are concerned. Last week I guessed that we would have a temporary place of amusement here this season, but this week my guess proves to be a poor one. Yesterday afternoon two of the Dickson brothers came over from Indianapolis, to consult with Manager Dickson, looked over the ground, with figures on the cost of erecting and furnishing a temporary place, and came to the decision that it required too great an outlay of money for present prospects, and positively decided that they would not go into the business this year. This means that Terre Hauteans who are foud of amusements will have to go without them this season, unless they are able to go to Indianapolis to see them. It's rough on our people, but it can't be helped. The Dicksons are not in business for fun. That's about all there is in business of any kind just now, but every business man is figuring on something better. The estimatsd cost of building and furnishing a temporary theater that Terre Haute peo pie would patronize, was in the neighborhood of $25,000, and was too much money, it was thought, to put into a venture of this kind. Hence we will be without amusements this winter, much to the general regret. fr

One of the unpleasant features of thU announcement is that James B. Dickson, who has been manager of the opera house a a W we many Terre Hatitftftfe&as hen {is madfc during his residence in the city.^. He will have a general oversight of the qxtensive circuit controlled by the Dickson brothers, and while he will be away from the city the greatest portion of the time, will not remove his family from here. During their residence here they have made a great many friends, who will be glad to know that the unfortunate condition of affairs, in an amusement way, will not necessitate the removal from the city of such pleasant people.

It would be interesting to see in the deadly parallel column the Gazette's opinion of the American Railway Union "before" and "after" taking. Before the A. E. U. Chicago strike was suppressed, and after the A. R. U. bad endorsed Bryan.

Political Notes.

The young Republicans who will cast their first presidential votes this fall organised a club Thursday night and elected the following officers: President, G. O. Dix secretary and treasurer, Walter C. Mand.

Hon. James A. Mount, Republican candidate for governor, will speak at the wigwam at Seventh and Poplar streets tonight. The parade preceding the speaking promises to be quite a large affair, and the attendance from the townships will be the largest of the campaign thus far.

The trouble in the Democratic state committee has probably interfered in ar rangement for speakers throughout the state, and this county has suffered with the rest. Thus far the prominent outside speakers who have been announced for speeches in this city are Senator David Turpie next Saturday evening, and Hon. Thos. M. Patterson, editor of the Rocky Mountain News, on the evening of October 8. Now that the state committee trouble has been adjusted there will probably be a number of speakers assigned to this territory.

The Republican wheelmen are going to make a stir with their McKinley and Hobart Bicycle regiment. They completed their organisation Monday night by electing Will L. Krietenstein major, with six sets of company officers, as follows: George Rossell, captain H. Dill, first lieutenant W m. Myers, second lieutenant. Earl Hamilton. captain Will Balch, first lieutenant Will Way, second lieutenant. W. R. Teel, captain Joe Fried berg, first lieutenant J. W. Rigney, second lieutenant. John Crawford, captain Charles Davis, first lieutenant Charles Miller, second lieutenant. R- L. Day, captain Ed. Bennett, first lieutenant Ike Goodman, second lieutenant. Rolla Day, captain Geo. Splaty, first lieutenant H. Davis, second lieutenant. George Roasell. Jr., was selected to take charge of the juniors. They have over 900 members already, and expect to have fulls before long. The regiment will make its first appearance in the Mount parade to-night. p* *,

ABOUT WOMEN.

Of late years women have been standing^ accusations, says a recent writer, manj^ and severe, on the score that they have? broken in on man's prerogatives and forced themselves into his line of work till he can no longer claim afield unique in business, in pleasure, or in personal adorn* ment. Some of us, touched by the piteousness of man's wail, feeling him in a measure justified in his resentment, have tried to be kind—have held back in the mad race for fame, and allowed opportunisms, to pass in pity of our harassed brothers^ What, then, is our feeling—we who have spent loving sympathy on these sons of sorrow, to have them return our kindness.» with treatment shameful an hundred

With regret we read the .following LONDON, Aug. 26.—It looks as if HSu men of the smart set are going in for corsets on a scale not even approached by the dandies of 1835. The haberdashers patronized by the swells carry an extensive stock of men's corseto, and, while the sale of them is limited to a comparatively small number, the demand is steadily increasing, and the indications are that a large proportion of the men in swelldom^ will soon be wearing them/vi

The fashion has not yet progressed sufficiently for any standard to be set regarding the proper waist measurement for men. And it is not very probable thatJ such a thing will happen, for the reason that some people attribute the new style to the Prince of Wales and his growing corpulency. If the waist measure of the Prince were taken as the correct thing most men could face the fashion witfctitf? easy grace, as the girth of His Royal Highness is said to be forty-two inches.

The thin man is advised by corset wearers of experience to let the new fashion alone. There is no natural reason for him to take it up, and if he does the result may be harmful. By wearing tight-fitting clothes he can gain the same ends attaine4 by the fat man girded in corsets.

Now, we do not harbor resentment be1 cause man has invaded our domain. W&]' are glad to share the corsets with him in

he so desires. They are welcome to thtf

The position of English women in politics finds no parallel here outside of the states of Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas. English women vote on every question but the selection of members of parliament. That right is within sight. Each of the three great parties has a woman's league actively working with it. Its place is recog ".ized, and certain paffii' of the canvass, such as house-to-house visiting, is largely in its hands. This work the political secreg tary organizes. She has her districts, her subcommittees, her political methods. In her books she has enrolled the name of every voter in her district, his occupation, his residence, his -political affiliations. Of this individual she keeps constant trace. She chases him from lodging-house to lodging-house. In the record of two years one restless person had moved his trunk thirteen times, yet her finger was upon him. She visits his wife, pets the children, offers a receipe for a stew, captures the family confidence, and all to gain or keep a vote. She holds public meetings once a month, in connection with the masculine organization, and helps to provide entertainment, speakers, or perhaps speaks herself. Here is a woman in the thick of machine politics, a new woman, a womanbachelor. She is little, demure, cherrycheeked, low-voiced, conventional in manner to the point of preciseness and with those pretensions to fashionable costuming that Americans recognise as English. She could not sufficiently express her surprise that her position and her work, should apso novel to an American.

Hie times are full of trouble for the coming man. The boy who starts out in life to win his way to fortune and fame should stop and think soberly and carefully, says the Voice of Labor. The great and varied opportunities that lined the broad road are not so bright as they used to be, cither in the fields of industry or in the line of proMoos. What gaps the genius of man has not closed to the artisan are being largely filled by women and they *n crowdin t«tbe professions closely. There are but few positions they cannot fill with equal ability and they ham proves* as htm.

«st «nd trustworthy as men as a class. They are expert stenographers typewriters, bookkeepers and copyists, and stand behind the counters in most of the clry goods and notion stores throughout t,he country. In fact, we see them everywhere except in the blacksmith shops, tinshops, iron foundries and deck hands on vessels. Just yherethe young men will to coin money out of muscle is hard to tell. Even the professions are passing into women's hands slowlyjbufksy.rely. Physicians, dentists and even lawyers are threatened, and it looks shaky for editors and reporters. At present the best advice we give a promising boy is to learn some business that wjll fpoil l&s -hands— dig on the streets or take fc) the woods.

He casually observed, too, that he would infinitely rather tell a woman than a man that the trouble is cancer. Women not only meet the inevitable with greyer nerve, but endure pain with more fortitude.

Haute Carriage Buggy C6. Assignment. Terre $huxte Carriage & Buggy

VAfters^gglingthroughathree

ti&mpany has kept Terre Haute in the front rank as a carriage manufacturing center. Hard times brought dangerous competition, and that forced many carriage concerns tp the wall.

Last Saturday evening the Vigo county National bank filed for record a mortgage for $18,750 W. R. McKeen and S. C. Stimson one for $23,400 G. A. Conzman a third for $9,892. These mortgages were all made on the Saturday previous. The stockholders held a final rally on Monday of this week but after hearing that the assets did not exceed $36,000 while the liabilities exceeded $55,000, they gave up in despair. At the suggestion of the mortgagees, A. M. Higgins, the attorney, was made the assignee for the benefit of creditors and he qualified on Thursday by filing bond in the sum of $72,000. The assignee obtained from Judge Taylor an order to continue the business and received substantial encouragement the first day by an order from the Terre Haute Brewing Co. for six roll wagons for their agencies. The Brewing Co. buy in the world's market and their approval of a vehicle is high praise. The factory and repair shops of the Carriage & Buggy Co. will continue operations under the assignee.

The officials of the defunct company are men of the highest standing in Terre Haute. Benj. Wilhelm, its president, is one of our sturdiest citizens. John H. Williamson the vice president, is asocial and business favorite. Ed. Gilkison the superintendent knows the business "all over" and will be retained by the assignee. W. W. Hauck, the general secretary and treasurer, has done more than any other to keep the concern to the fore, and Terre Haute owes him a debt of gratitude for the capital, energy and push he has given to the company. He will assist the assignee in the conduct of the business. Mr. Herbert Madison will also be retained as bookkeeper. Citizens who love Terre Haute want some arrangement made by which the Terre Haute Carriage & Buggy Co. may be continued.

Chalnless Bicycles.

The story is current that one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of bicycles is going to make chainless wheels almost altogether for 1887. Various circumstances are quoted which lend color to the rumor, most important of all being the fact that this company has bought the patents for the device. Many experienced riders were favorably impressed with the chainless wheel which was on the market a few seasons ago. The company which made it went into bankruptcy, however, and this style of machine has virtually disappeared. The reason given for the failure was not that the product was unsalable, but lack of capital.

William Schaeffer of Linnville, Montgomery county, Pa., once made a cane which was composed of different pieces of wood, comprising timber of 106 species and 335 varieties.

NEWS OF THE CITY.

George Kerschoff, years ago a prominent

business man of this city, but who has resided in Los Angeles, Cal., for many years, died there last Wednesday, aged seventythree years.

Rev. H. O. Scott, D. D., from Hastings, Neb., will preach at the Central Presbyterian church to-morrow, morning and evening. Mr. Scott comes highly recommended, and it is said is likely to be called to the pastorate of the church.

Carl Krietenstein, has purchased the business buildings on the southwest corner of Fourth and Cherry street and will remove his drug store from Fourth and Ohio streets to the new location as soon as the buildings can be put in the proper conditiod.

Oysters put in their appearance last week with the letter "r" in September, but thus far the weather has not been favorable to their use. The dealers report that they are as large and fine as they usually are in the middle of the season, and are cheaper in price than they have been for several years past.

The sneak thieves have found another line for their work. Owners of handsome palms who allow them to remain on the front porches during the night have been missing them very frequently during the past week. Next to the man who steals newspapers from front yards this is about the smallest piece of thievery imaginable.

Gustave Nicolai, who has conducted a saloon at 659 Main street for many years past will remove shortly a few doors east, to the Mack building. The Pabst Brewing Co recently remodelled the place at 659, and will still control it, but have not yet decided who will be put in charge of the place when Mr. Nicolai moves. The latter's new location in the Mack building is being remodelled for his use.

The contractor for the new Root building has turned it over to the owners according to contract, and the work of finishing is now progressing very rapidly. It is thought that it will be ready for occupancy about the first of October. The front of the building attracts much attention on account of its beauty, being a reminder by its graceful proportion and architecture of the large Chicago buildings.

The funeral of Father Wilson, last Monday morning, was one of the largest ever held in this city. The exercises lasted for nearly four hours, and such was the inter-

crowded St. Joseph's church during the entire ceremony. Contrary to the rules of the church floral offerings were permitted to be displayed, and their number and elegance surpassed those ever shown here at a funeral. Father Wilson was a great favorite among the members of his church, as well as among those outside it, and universal regret is expressed at his untimely taking off.

The celebration of Labor Day in this city was the most successful in every respect that has been given here since the day was formally instituted. The procession was large and orderly, and there was an entire absence of the beer drinking on the part of some of the participants that has heretofore marred the parade. Every organization marched, none being allowed to ride in wagons as in previous years. At the fair grounds the exercises were attended by a crowd of several thousands, and the entertainment passed with the best of order. Intoxicating liquors were not sold on the grounds. A very interesting programme of bicycle races and other athletic contests was given. Eugene V. Debs presided at the meeting in the fine art hall, and Thos. J. Morgan, of Chicago, delivered the principal address. He also spoke at the meeting at the court house in the evening.

A visit to the plant of the Terre Haute Canning Co., in Highland Place, will prove of interest to the many persons in this city who do not realize the extent of the establishment or the business it is doing. A force of about one hundred is employed at present, and the company could use from fifteen to twenty more girls and women if they were able to secure them. The opening of the public schools reduced the number of girls employed. Tomatoes are being canned now, the crop in this vicinity being a little less than the average. The other products of the factory this year have been stringless beans, pumpkin and peas, and the company finds a ready market for all its goods. One day this week an order was received for twenty-two carloads of tomatoes from St. Louis, and the immensity of the order may be appreciated when it is known that a carload consists of five hundred cases, each case containing twenty four cans. The air of cleanliness that pervades this establishment is quite in contrast with the conditions that prevail at many canning factories.,and if the housewives who use canned goods could see this place they would certainly call for its products, especially as they are "home-made."

The fashion of treating walls in otiier ways than by papering them is a growing one. The higher artistic sense which now exists, even in small and remote communities, has given a realizing sense of the value of the background, and walls receive the first and most careful attention of intending furnishers. A most esthetic hanging is plain burlaps of the usual cream-brown hue. A wall thus decorated looks as if hung with silk pongee.
