Mr. W. O. Fishback, the local corresspondent of the Indianapolis Journal, who knows as much about local affairs as any man living, says in his dispatch to the Journal, concerning the reorganisation •'Seven old men were dropped without explanation, and not for physical disability or age. Some of the new men were formerly on the force, and in one instance, at least, is a man against whom charges were preferred, but which were hushed up by the clique which ran the department. The fact that no Irishmen were dropped from the force has added to the talk that has been prevalent since the board selected the heads of the department, that the Irish Catholics have control. It is the common belief that anti-A. P. A.'s who are consulted by the board have been 'get ting in their work' in the reorganization."
The truth about the whole thing i|t, that iftotti-tawMt'r".: '""ft1"'1 ffr ^police departmentfor six years past, the
Influences that made it possible for some saloons to violate the law while others were refused the same privileges, the influences that led to the death of poor Nick Hoth, the influences that made it possible for some men to have charges tiled against them, and afterwards silenced, while others on charges less trifling were punished—while perhaps not in control of the department, as of yore, are still strong as counsellors. No matter what the commissioners may say, no sane man will believe that a set of police commissioners, 1 men who have never had any business ""v-wit police departments, with the possible exception of Judge Davis, went to work and selected men to take places on the force without consultation with men on the force who had had experience. No man would believe this, and this is why it is possible to say, that some old scores are being settled in this reorganization. Superintendent Hyland is a very foolish man if he permitted a police force to be selected without any advice on his part, or consultation with him. The members of the police board would not do it. Ami he knows, if he knows anything, and he has never been accused of being a know-noth-imi. that men have been placed on the department rtuder the new rule, who are totally incapable of tilling the requirements demanded by the new board's rules, while men. strong, young, and capable, have been laid off without reason or explanation. That is not justice It is not fair—and there must be some reason for it. That is what the public is interested in, and as it foots the bills has aright to know. Here is the new force as selected by the new board: Wm. H. Stoocker, \V.
H. Westbrook. James McNutt, John Ryle, Albert Gardner. David Reed, George Lints. George Hofland, Wm. Gregory, James Bishop, John Brown. Charles Wat son, Samuel Badders. Kugene Callahan, Wm. Miller. James W. Hiuton, Frank Fedderson, Patrick Burke, Patrick Casey, Thomas Boyll. John Haley, Harry Phillips, Daniel Mulleu. Felix McCabe. Luke I onard. W. 11. French, John Kotsch, James Lyons. Stephen A. Clark. James Fox. Dvnnis Sughrue. Oliver Shaw.
Of these, Watson. Badders. Callahan and Fedderson. Republicans,are new men, as are Boyll. Haley and Phillips, Democrats. while Shaw the superuumnry, is a Republican. The men laid off are William Reinhart. James Armstrong. William Reisman, Ira Merring. James Merriman, W. T. Bndd and William Wet idle. No charge® were made against any of them, their badges were simply taken away from them, and they were turned out into the strv-rts. with the stigma attached to them of having been laid off the force "for cauv\" but that cans# wan denied them. The police commissioners that they selected the old men because of their record*. It would be of interest to know who kept th.«e record* how they kept them: and if there was any comment made by the record keepers when the names were submitted. _____

ON THE QUI VIVE.
If the ears ol the individual members of the board of police commissioners of the city of Terre Haute haven't been burning since last Thursday afternoon with a fierceness rivalling that which is supposed to prevail in the lower regions, it is because they have no ears to burn. It was expected that when the proposed reorganization of the police department under the new law took place, and the force was reduced, as required by that law, there would be a protest long and loud about the men laid off. But the wildest imagination could not have suggested the howl that has been going up, long and lpud, over the way the force was reorganized. There is such a spirit of unjustness, unfairness, such a violation of the rules adopted by the new commissioners themselves, that there is strong cause for the belief that some old scores are being settled in the readjustment of the force. Last week, Q. V. said, "if the new police commissioners keep up their work in the manner thus far pursued- they will make the Terre Haute police department one of the most perfect in the department." This week he desires to qualify that statement by adding that if they keep up their work in the manner in which they reorganized the force, we won't have any police force, for the very good reason that they have in a number of instances recognized age and inability while they turned down youth and vigor A good police force can never be built up in that way.
ELKS' MINSTRELS
clear in that they have never been reprimanded or had charges preferred against them. There are others who have had charges preferred against them, and they have been punished. But the charges were no worse than those against some men retained on account of their "records." The records that have made these changes are not the police records that should be open to the public. They are little vest pocket records, private and personal, that were in existence before either of the present commissioners were in office. The pity of it is that worthy, deserving men have been made to suffer, and that such men as the police commi sioners have allowed themselves to be "worked." For worked they have been, and good and strong. The sneaking and spying, the making of flesh of one and fowl of another that so distinguished the former department will be in force under the present regime. It is to be hoped that it will not lead to any more murders on the force.
The board adopted stringent orders for the closing of saloons on Sunday and after eleven o'clock, at night, doing away with public gambling and stopping the sale of liquors on houses of ill repute. The slot machines were also ordered out, street walking was prohibited, and various other rules adopted regarding the control of the classes that come under police surveillance. The town has been "tight" for two nights, and will probably be closed to-morrow. Some believe that this tightness will be worn off in a few days, but the fact that Mr. Davis, who represents the Governor on the board, has stern convictions on this subject, and seems to be the boss of the board, does not lend much color to this theory. Among the all night saloon men there is a great kick on the closing order, but the public generally aproves it. It is the law, the commissioners are sworn to uphold it, and it is hard to see how they could be invited or expected to break their solemn obligations. If there was no greater kick on the commissioners than there is on their orders regarding the enforcement of the law their immediate future would be filled ^vith visions of peace and pleasure.
The following Btory is told on one'of the men retained on account of his efficiency: While serving at the Union station it fell to his lot one day to call the departureof a train. In stentoriaa Atones he announced, "AllAbofwi going east, for Brazil, Greenoaa&ft lodianapdpjifl, and points east. Train ju MMtiljl 111 inT" 11 111 Till 1 wereannmberof east bound passengers that day, and they gathered their luggage together and started for the train. Suddenly the policemau made his appearance again, waving his hands wildly, while he shouted in tones equally as loud, "All uv yez take yer seats. The domned thiug is goin' west." It is told as a fact on another of the retained members that when asked one day the name of the city treasurer, from whom he received his pay every month, he was unable to tell. Of course such things as these do not enter into the line of official duty, and they are not to be charged against a member of the force
Samuel M. Gray, sewer expert, of Providence, R. I., is a marvel and deserves a medal. He came here to pass upon a set of plans for a sewer system that were adopted by a majority of the council, against the opposition of a strong minority, and only after a most bitter fight, and comes back with a report that pleases both factions, and gives each the idea that it. has the best of the question. Mr. Gray's report, which was submitted to the council Tuesday night, agrees with Mr. Cole in three important particulars: 1. That Terre Haute needs a more perfect sewer system 2. That it should be made to empty iuto the Wabash river 3. That the outlet should be at Hulman street. He does not approve the belt and canal plans submitted by Mr. Cole, but recommends that the district north of Wabash avenue, northeast, be taken off the belt district and added to the canal district, that the canal sewer be rebuilt between Fifth and Seventh streets to accommodate the increased flow, and that sewers be built through several streets north of this to drain the northern part of the city. He does not approve the building of a sewer through Locust street to drain this territory. His estimate of the cost of doing this work in the manner recommended by him is {213,000, while he estimates that the plan proposed by Mr. Cole, which would not do the work so well or so thoroughly, will cott #383.000. The next step in the matter will be the order of the council to prepare plans and specifications for the proposed system, which it is likely will be done soon.
Sanford C. Davis, one of the best known members of the Vigo county bar, died very suddenly with apoplexy, at his home on north Sixth street, last Sunday afternoon, aged fifty-two years. Deceased was a brother of Police Commissioner S. B. Davis, and was a native of Parke county. He received his early education at the academies of Russellville and Waveland, and came to this city in 1865, and studied law under Judge Mack. He prospered at the law business, and with his brother soon had one of the largest practices here. He went to Florida several years ago, re* maitved there for some time, afterwards located in Alabama, and from there went to Chicago to engage in the law business. A few years ago he returned to Terre Haute, and since then has been actively engaged at his profession. The bar association adopted appropriate resolutions on his death Tuesday, and the Association attended the funeral In a body the same afternoon. Mr. Davis's wife survives him.

If those to whom we are really dear and who love us would forego this unkind habit of criticism, what heart-burnings we might be spared! After our pet project, erstwhile so beautiful, has been drowned in the chilling flood of gratuitous advice and suggestion, we want to creep off alone, as do the little children, and sob aloud in a passion of self-pity. It is too bad. we say. What fools we wereever toexpectsympathy from that source! We have learned our lesson at last, and will never again make the mistake of telling to that person anything wetoean to do—never! never! And sometimes we keep this angry vow oftener—if we are women—we forgive and forget so far as to do the very same thing over again.
But do we always look at ourselves and see if we too do at times offend in the same way? When husband and children come to us for sincere and interested sym .pathy, do they- al ways-receitte ft? When
John brings home a patent (and probably useless) fly-trap, for which he paid a dollar (and times are hard, and money so scarce!), and over which he chuckles delightedly, do we always receive it with the pleased gratitude the poor fellow expects? Do we not sometimes eye it doubtfully, suggest that it was an unnecessary extravagance, and intimate that we have no faith in its flying catching powers?
Women are, as a rule, far more sympathetic than men, but even they occasionally dampen the ardor of their Johns, who are only grown-up boys, after all. And do we always show tender interest in our children's highly colored and utterly impracticable "plans"? It may be our duty to discourage the hair-brained-scheme, but can we not do it gently, pityingly, and try to offer some other plans in lieu of the one that, although cherished, must be abandoned? Childish troubles, while evanescent, are very real.
If each one of us would make it a rule not to criticise unless stern duty demands it, and then to speak the necessary words reluctantly, tactfully, lovingly, we shall have made a great stride towards transforming this too often disappointing world into an earthly paradise.
The mother of mothers is she who is the guide, the friend, the companion and confidante of her daughters—the saintly ideal and the sweetest living lesson to her son. She stands to them as the embodiment of womanly purity and womanly wisdom. It is not the wisdom of the world nor of his own daily experience, but it is something far higher—something that makes his heart to burn within him as he listens and remembers. The mistake our present "hers make when they want to be the con. Mantes of their sons is incalculable. Ther&are themes which should never be discussed between mother and son. He should believe her to be innocent of things which he as a man is forced to know. When once she descends from her pedestal of ideal purity to discuss with him the facts of the muddy parts of life she has lost her dignity, her halo, her charm, her hold. She becomes a woman of the world— a wise woman, if yon like, but she is not the ideal mother, that creature of sublime loveliness enshrined in his heart as the supreme of her sex. While she keeps that noble reserve which is part of the conditions of dignity, she has an unbounded, if unspoken, influence over her son's secret thoughts and unpublished actions. "If my mother were to know" will check many a downward step and close many an open door. But if for this reverence for the unspotted purity of the Ideal is substituted: "My mother is a woman of the world: she knows and will understand." the most powerful check is taken away, and the good fellowship of two frank companions bold the place of the son's reverence for the human goddess, for the a*ke of whose purity of soul he must guard his own.
Why is it, many single women ask, that widows are so much more attractive to the opposite sex than those who have never voyaged upon these*of matrimony? There Is no doubt that the ordinary unmarried girl is often more attractive to a man in

ABOUT WOMEN.
Some wise woman has said, "Strive to learn the hard lesson of admiring rather than criticising." To some people it is undoubtedly a hard lesson—so difficult, in fact, that they never acquire it. They to have a penchant for seeing the draw or flaw in any question suggested to them. There are few characteristics that are mo*e trying to encounter than the spirit of wetblanketism peculiar to some natures. of us does not know the sensation, says a writer in Harper's Bazar, of anger and humiliation produced iru-etfe's very soul by the critical or depreciating remark? We show something we have accomplished with great difficulty, or give the details a scheme on which we have bestow much thought, and perhaps prayer. We set it forth in its fair roundness, and look for sympathy in our plans. What is our chagrin when the one to whom we had looked for the bread of sympathy gives us the stone of criticism! There may be weak points in our scheme that it is the duty of our friend to show us, but why not wait until a little later, until the first glow of enthusiasm has faded, and then gently and lovingly suggest the amendment? It is to1 be doubted if Job himself would have possessed his soul in patience had a bucket of iced water been suddenly dashed on one of his cherished plans. He might not have complained or cried out against his Maker, but the chances are that he would have poured forth his righteous and justifiable wrath upon the presumptuous so-called friend and critic.

her ignorance of the world and its ways. If she lets it appear that she wants to know little except as he may wish her to know, her charm, in his esteem, is bound to be increased. A man loves to be exalted to the position of keeper of a girl's heart and mind. It adds to his self-esteem and gives him that sense of vested interest in another's life .which reaches its climax in marriage. But widows are in a different case. They do not allure by their ignorance. A dull widow repels men. But a sparkling, bright, conversational and tactful widow will, if she is young, prove most seducing to many members of the other sex. Men most love innocence in a woman more than aught else. But there are others to whom worldly experience, especially if accompanied by beauty and evident good nature, is afar stronger lure.
American widows excel in charming mankind. It is only necessary to think of the number of them who have become part and parcel of English society to realize this. The American girl gets more than her proper share of masculine adoration in the States. Perhaps this makes the American widow's social deportment ap peal more to English sympathies and hearts.
Unmarried girls may be insipid in their talk and yet attract a good deal of attention. Not so the widow. Experience has taught her the way to men's esteem, and thence, perhaps, to their hearts. Who like her can flatter and tickle the vanity of the average male? It is no crime in her, oh, dear, no! Men are vain and like to be flattered, just as cats like to be stroked the right way and, having a good opinion of themselves, they are exceedingly prone to form a high opinion of the person in whose agreeable society this little weakness of the male nature is recognized and catered to. This is the widow's high art. As a student and expert at life she is miles above the unwedded maiden. For tact she is not to be beaten. She is the best of peacemakers, even as she is often a hostess of the first rank.
MODERN PHILOSOPHY.
The more a man sees of women the more he likes little girls. About the time a woman begins to quit lying about her age she begins to lie about her daughter's.
A woman is never as nice to her second husband, fluid a man is never as mean to h^MllllMMt'Vifo- •«*, '4
Most married men would admit, if they dared, that they would rather have a rat terrier than a baby.
A man never has any money. Before he gets married he spends it, and after he gets married his wife does.
Men and women seldom fix their thoughts on the uext world until they have despaired of this.
If most men had to kiss their wives every time they smoked a cigar they would never have tobacco heart.
Thousands of the most domestic women believe that life would not be half so bad if it were not for housekeeping.
A woman of society owes not a little of her success to the art of not hearing what it is unpleasant for her to hear.
Many women are so extremely nervous that they cannot be companionable to anybody, least of all to themselves.
A girl is always bound to make some man miserable if she doesn't commit suicide, she goes off and gets married.
The average man doesn't suffer near so much when he has the yellow jaundice as he does when his wife has a pink tea.
Women are born to hurt the thing they love most: even a little girl likes a doll best that will cry when she pinches it.
A widow is the only one who appreciates that what a man eats is just as important to him as what a woman wears is to her.
When the average man is getting married he gets 'most as nervous as he does when he watches for the bulletins of a prize fight.
When a man grows up and falls in love he never feels the thrills he did when he was a boy and first put perfumery on his handkerchief.
When a girl lies down on a divan with a lot of cushions on it she loses all her hair pins when a man does it he loses all the change out of bis pocket.
It is not death we fear, but its awful shadow, projected by ages and superstition. Death itself may be our universal friend, the best that we can know.
A baby can keep a man awake all night and it's all right, but if a man keeps the baby awake ten minutes all the women folk in the house call him a brute.
