TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, -OCTOBER 17, 1896.
MAN ABOUT TOWN,
In one of his characteristic speeches at Chicago, Thursday night, Teddy" Roosevelt, the New York police commissioner, that hysterics are not confined to school girls, but that Mr. Bryan in all of his speeches developes a note of hysteria Here in Terre Haute we are shown a stage of this hysteria in the writings of Judge McNutt, the editor of the Standard, who mjulft the trip through a portion of Indiana with Mr. Bryan. In one place he refers to the Democratic candidate as "a Heavensent leader to guide the people of this land out of the wilderness, into which they had been plunged by other and not Heavensent leaders, but leaders sent from quite other quarter." In another place he says "And ye heavens,'have not the people of this land looked long enough for aright leader? One who should have no mortgage, or other lien upon him to handicap him? To be sure we need several such for there are many selfish, corrupting and corrupt forces to be met and routed, and 'twere well if we had more than one, unselfish, country-loving, greed-hating, con-stitution-revering, God-fearing statesman Still just one were so much better than just none. Let us thank our benignant stars,—or more fitting, let us thank the God of our fathers for this young, heroic statesman, William J. Bryan." In still another place on the editorial page he says "The real friends of American honor and of the public credit, and above all, of the public peace, are those who see in the election of Bryan a return to sound ad ministration, through the policy of paying our honest debts according to the contract, and the law of the contract. For as sure as there is justice in heaven, and honor on earth, the people of this land will finally bring this government back to sound Jeffersoniau, Jacksonian principles. If it can be done by the peaceful means of the ballot, all the better. But if through corruption, coercion and other devil's schemes this method, this peaceful method is thwarted, then it will be done by revolution by an upheaval as from the depths of all the hells!" In another editorial, under the head, "One of the Schemes of the Buccaneers," he closes with this expression "Ah, b' "s it (McKinley's elec tion) assured Is ndc, rather, his defeat, decisive and overwhelming, assured In very truth is there even the ghost of a hope that the Canton platitudinarian will be elected Does not every sign point to the certain election of Bryan,—that bravest knight that ever led a great cause in any land? Courage, ye toilers courage and unfaltering steadfast endeavor, from now till the polls close, and such a victory as will once for all make an end of the treasury buccaneers, and treasury-looting, is assured.
The traveling men, generally, who visit our merchants report that tliey are placing many orders based on the condition that if McKinley is elected the orders are to stand, and if he is beaten they are not to be filled.
The city council in special session Tuesday night passed an ordinance for the sale of $40,000 worth of general fund funding bonds, drawing four per cent, interest. These are to refund similar bonds due November 2, and which drew five per cent, interest. The new bonds are not made payable in gold, and it remains to be seen whether or not a city like Terre Haute, with its financial reputation untarnished, can sell bonds without such a proviso. The bonded indebtedness of this city at present, including the bonds which it is intended to refund is as follows: Oity funding bonds of 1800.4V4 per cent.$182,000
General funding-bonds of 1891, 5 per cent 40,000 Sewer funding bonds of 1891, 8 per cent B'i.OOO City funding bonds of 1895,4 per cent... 123,000
Total $380,000 This places the bonded indebtedness of the city within the two per cent, limit fixed by law. _____
The opening of Ohio street is not progressing very rapidly, as the matter is now in the Supreme court. The city commissioners submitted a report this week, showing that it had been impossible to hold a meeting, and an adjournment was taken up, if the proceedings of the Supreme court will admit of it.
The hill-climbing contest of the Wabash Cycling club at Coal creek hill last Sunday attracted a crowd of over a thousand. It was a lovely day, and the beauty of the scenery along the road to Coal creek caused many persons to drive out from this city. Anton Hulman won the gold medal for the best time in the contest, climbing the long hill of over a thousand feet, in 44 seconds. Earl P. Hamilton won the second prize, a silver medal, his time being 49 seconds. Will Meyer tied Hamilton, and in the final attempt the prize was awarded to Hamilton. The hill is said to be one of the most difficult in this region to climb, the ascent being ten feet in every hundred.
Edward Jones, of J. D. Jones, exchief of the fire depigment, died at the home of his parents, on north Thirteenth street, last Sunday, aged twenty-seven years. The funeral took place at St. Ann's church Tuesday morning, and was largely attended. The pall bearers were Michael Shay and James Caughlin, representing the fire department, of which deceased was formerly a member, and John Wilson, Chas. Telchmau, James Walsh and James Wilson, representing the printers.
The new MethoSist church at Fouiteenth street nn»l Third avenue, Trinity, was dedicated on Sunday with a sermon by Rev. T. I. Coultas, of Roberts Park church, Indianapolis.v With the subscriptions already secured enough money w«s raised Sunday to practically assure the financial success of the new church. Jesse Levering has been at the bead of the efforts to build the new church, and its prosperity Is mr.My due to the work he has done tn Its bf! If. _________________

Life In Groat CltlM.
And as to the tendency of tbe gro'wth of groat cities to enervate nations, then is no proof of it at all unless we iden
tify
the life of great cities with the passion for idleness and pleasure and self indulgence whioh sometimes, but by no means universally, accompanies their growth. When you get a large proletariat living, as that of ancient Some and possibly of Nineveh and Babylon did, on the alms of the rich and powerful, then, no doubt, you have the conditions of a thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy life, and no one can wonder at the rapid decay of snoh cities and of the nations which gloried in them. But where the honest working class far outnumbers the proletariat, where the middle classes of distributors and manufac turers and professional men are laborious and energetio, and even the class that lives on its accumulated wealth oontains a considerably sprinkling of serious and disinterested workers, wr do not believe that there is the smallest evidence of any greater danger in the life of the city than in the life of the agricultural village or the pastoral tribe. Indeed, we should regard Olive Schreiner's pioture of the life of the modern Boers as indicating a oonditiou of things more prolific of morbid elements, with its almost complete absence of any stirring or active intelligence, than inv kind of modern life that is honestly laborious at all. The Boer life is too sleepy, too destitute of stirring thought or effort, to be altogether haturaL It seeds at least the old element of danger and neoessary vigi lance to render it even bracing.—Lon don Speotator.
Growing the Bermuda lily. "The Bermuda lily should be planted in deep pots," writes Eben E. Rexford in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Put in a shallow layer of soil over the drainage material when you pot the bulbs of tins plant, and on this plaoe the bulb, wnich should be oovered lightly. Leave it like this until a stalk Btartfe. Then fill in, as this stalk reaches uft until the pot is full of compost. I wotud not advise the use r/ any fertilizer after bringing a plant to the light if the compost in which it was planted oontained an ordinary amount of nutriment Develop•ment is quite likely to be sufficiently rapid in ordinary rich soil, and the application of a stimulant will so hasten it that the plfint will be foroed beyond healthy limits. Watch the plants when in the oellar and give a little water now and then if needed. Aim to keep the soil moist—never wet. When you brinp them up, do not place them at onoe in a very warm room. A room adjoining one in which th.ire is afire is better fox them, if it is frostproof, than one in whioh the heat is likely to run up to a high figure. When they come into bloom, be sure to keep them as cool as possible if you want (he flovffrs to last."
-J. Disposal of the Dead. In the praotioal application of his theories Molesohott animadverted on the prevailing customs of burying the dead impermanent cemeteries, where their bodies decay with no advantage and often with serious injury to the Jiving. "If every place of burial," he says, "after having been used a year, should be exchanged for a new one, it would beoome in the oourse of six or ten years a jdaost fertile field which would do more honor to the dead than mounds and monuments." But, he adds, it would be still better if we could return to the ancient custom of burning the dead, wl^ich he deolares to be unquestionably more practical as well as more poetical By this process the air would be made richer in cai oonio acid and ammonia, and the ashes, whioh contain the ele ments of new crops of cereals for the nurture of man and beast, would transform our barren heaths into luxuriant plains. At present, he adds, we are acting like the stupid and slothful servant Wlo buried his one talent in the earth instead of wisely investing it so as to gain another. —Popular Soienoo Month' iy-

Like Boy.
The son of a down town merohant was found crying when his father returned home last night, as that gentleman told a reporter this morning. "What's the matter, Tommy?" yked thp merchant "I had a fight with Charlie," wa«4 the tearful reply. "Well, you ought not to fight It setved you right to get whipped, 1 guess," said the father. "But I didn't get licked. I licked him," sobbed the boy. "Well, what are you crying about then?" I "Why, if I had let him lick me, he couldn't hurt And I never thought about that, so now I have to fight his big. brother, about my sise, nnd I can lick him, and I'm going to, because I'm mad at him. Then I've got to fight thf biggest brother, and he's three sizes bigger than me, and won't I catch it!" And Tommy refused to be comforted.— Washington Star.
