SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14.1896.

THE bad feelings arising from the knowledge that Jerry Simpson will be a member of the next congress is somewhat softened by the knowledge that John J. Ingalls will not be there.

THE Democrats in Tennessee who voted for their candidate for governor in the recent election will never forgive themselves for having done so. The successful candidate is going on the lecture platform.

TIIE special correspondents who have been going about the country making estimates on the pluralities in each of the states, and in the majority of instances missing the correct figures by from 20,000 to 200,000, will now have their hands full of business making a cabinet for the next president.

THE glorious climate of California is not productive 'of courtliness toward the gentler sex, if we may judge by the overwhelming defeat administered by the male voters to the ladies in their effort to secure female suffrage.. If the ladies of California want to vote they will have to go to some other state.

THE Salvation Army is about to tiy a new experiment in the San Ramon Valley, thirty or forty miles from San Francisco, for reclaiming convicts on their release from prison. A ranch of some 800 acres has been given them, and the plan is to make a place of refuge where the erf convict can remain for a few months, utit.il some practical mode of farming can be learned, or a situation be provided. It is expected that life in this condition, intermediate between prison and the outer world, will do much to reform the criminals who otherwise might all too easily be seduced again -Jy their former boon companions or th£ saloons. Already a fund has been started to supply a suit of clothing and transportation for all those who may secure good positions. Commander Booth-Tucker is to start a similar farm near New York for paupers as well as -criminals. The land has already been acquired, _______________

MH. MCKINI.KY'S plurality of the popular vote is the greatest evei* given a presidential candidate. Although the official figures are not at hand it is claimed with good show that his plurality will be over a million. The nearest approach to this was in the memorable campaign of 1872, when President Grant had a plurality of 762,901. James Buchanan in 1856 had a plurality of 406,905, Lincoln in 1860 had a plurality of 491,195, and in 1864 a plurality of 407,343 in 1868 Grant had a plurality of 805,4M5. Iu 1876, Tliden, although defeated in the electoral college, had a plurality of 250,9115 in the popular vote. In 1880 Garfield's plurality was only 7,018, while Cleveland four years later had a plurality of 63,6831. Although defeated in 1888 by a majority of 75 in the electoral college, Cleveland had a plurality of 98,017 In the popular vote, which he increased to 380,810 in 1892, when he had a plurality of 182 in the electoral college, and a clear majority of 110. Up to the present time, therefore, Mr. McKinley may be said to have broken all records in the completeness of his victory with the people. It shows what a landslide can do when the people, the "common people," as Mr. Bryan expresses it, are doing the work that leads up to a landslide.

Thk more that Is heard from Kansas with regard to the election the more sympathy can be expressed for the people of the state, who have had a hard time from the organisation of a state government there. The partial Populistic control of the state has meant a great loss to its people in many respects, and now that the Populists have complete control of every department, executive, judiciary and legislative, some extreme laws may be expected. The attempt to confiscate the property of the Sante Fe railroad in Kansas is but a sample of what may be expected during the next two or four years. Mid capital looking for investment is likely to steer clear of the Sunflower state. The new administration in that state is sure to be a radical one in every respect. A sample of the law and justice to be administered there may be evidenced by a recital of the the qualifications of some of the judges and attorneys elected to carry out the laws. One of the judges elected to the position of appellate judge there has never had a case of any kind except before a justice of the peace, and in one county county attorney has been elected who has not yet been admitted to the practice of law. They are all Popu^-a, however, and an# committed to the pciides of that party, whatever they are. Poor Kansas will be an object of sympathy during the coming two years.

NEWS OF THE CITY.

The members of the Home Circle Dancing Club will hold a meeting at the Terre Haute house to-night for the transaction of business.

Prosecuting attorney elect, Wm. Tichenor, has appointed as his deputy, J. T. Walker. There were many applications for the place. The new deputy is said to be a lawyer of more than average ability, and his appointment will give general satisfaction.

The case against John Harkness for as saulting his brother, Ed., as a result of an argument regarding the Nicholson bill, was dismissed in the Circuit court this week, the brother who was assaulted making a strong plea before Judge Taylor to dismiss it.

Rev. B. Fay Mills, who held a very successful revival meeting in this city several years ago, is in correspondence with Dr. Hollingsworth regarding a mass meeting in this city some time the latter part of this month in the interests of the Armenian sufferers.

The "Big Store" of the Havens & Geddes Co. celebrated its second anniversary of the opening Wednesday night with a concert by the Ringgold orchestra. The store had been beautifully decorated for the occasion with potted plants, flowers, etc., and it was made a gala event.

The more that is learned of the operations of the gang swindlers of which Herbert Connor, formerly business manager of the old Daily News, was a member, the greater seems to have been the result of their operations. It is claimed that their clever system of draft swindles realized over $2,000,000 for them.

Robert H. Thomas, an old and well known citizen of this city, died at his residence on Eagle street Wedesday morning, aged sixty-six years. Several months ago he was seized with an attack of apoplexy, since which he has been confined to his house. His wife and three children survive him, Geo. H. Thomas, of Chicago, Miss Nellie Thomas and Mrs. W. E. Donaghoe, of this city.

William Meachan and Edward Silvers, eleven years old, were sentenced to the reform school by Judge Taylor this week for various misdemeanors, including the stealing of three horses and wagons, the breaking into the water works office and stealing a nn nber of articles. They had a companion imed Walters, but eight years old, wuo was paroled on account of his extreme youth.

Roy Cliver, of this city, a son of Baron R. Cliver, went down to visit some relatives near Cory this week, taking his gun with him to hunt while there. On Tuesday morning, while starting on a hunt, his gun was accidently discharged, and the load struck his cousin, Mabel Mason, in the side, causing a wound that led her death a few hours later. The boy is prostrated over the dreadful result of an un avoidable accident.

A novelty in the shape of a bill against the county commissioners was filed-this week by August Kuhne, who runs a tailor shop on Main street beGtveen Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. In fitting up the election booth in the upper precinct of the Third ward on election day, the chute leading to the booth shut off entrance to his tailor shop, and he therefore filed a bill against the county for $5 for the amount he claims to have lost from his business.

Terre Haute is one of the leading cities in the state in its membership in secret societies, including the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Red Men, etc., and yet it has received but little in the way of prominent positions in th» officers in the Grand lodges. Especially is this true regarding the Odd Fellows, but the members of that order in this oity are going to make an effort at the meeting of the Grand lodge at Indianapolis next week to secure a grand office for Terre Haute. The candidate for the position on which all efforts will be centered is R, C. Shoffner, who is a candidate for Grand Secretary. A large delegation of Odd Fellows from this city will go over to the Grand lodge meeting to make a strong fight for the Terre Haute candidate, and it is to be hoped that they will be successful.

Louis Seeburger, who enters on the discharge of his duties as sheriff next week, has appointed the following deputies: John B. Walsh, ex-councilman and formerly yardmaster of the C. &. E. I. at this point, will be office deputy, while the other deputies will be be Tony Frisz, who was a deputy under Sheriff Stout, Chas. W. Lamb, a brother of Hon. John E. Lamb, who has been an employee at the distillery for some time past, and Lemuel Jones, a son of the Populist leader in this county, and who was a candidate on the Populist ticket for sheriff, but withdrew. Will J. Smith, who formerly ran a cigar store on Fourth street, near Ohio, will be jailer. The appointments are good ones, although they many disappoint the hundreds who were looking for an appointment under the new sheriff.

The McKinley escort of this city, under the command of Col. John W. Kbel, won many words of praise in the campaign just closed on account of its excellence of drill and novelty in evolutions. In the several states in which the company appeared it won universal praise, and it is not giving It too much praise to say that no company in the city ever did as excellent work. The company will give its last drill and public exhibition on Thanksgiving night, at Armory Hall, when it will formally disband. The drill

MM!

other exercises will

be followed by a grand hall, to which many prominent members of the party and other leading citiaens will be invited. It is expected that Col. R. W. Thompson will be present and make a few remarks At thi* formal closing of the campaign by this sttpany that has contributed so much to its success.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.
