THE MAIL'S LIBRARY CONTEST. The interest manifested in the contest for the libraries offered by The Mail to three of the public .schools of the city continues unabated. The absence, however, from the city (luring the entire summer of the majority of the teachess and many of the pupils who are interested in the contest, has necessarily caused The Mail to announce a postponement of the close of the contest. It, was originally fixed for September 4th, but the (late has been changed to November 1st, to cover the time lost during the vacation.

The details of the plan are familiar to the readers of The Muil, and are as follows:

The Mail will print each week at the head of its editorial columns a coupon, which is to be voted at The Mail office for the most- popular city school, the most popular member of the city school force, and the boy or girl furnishing the most coupons to The Mail in the contest. At the close of the contest, on the 1st day of November, to the public school in Terre Haute receiving the highest number of votes The Mail will give a Library of Books, to be selected as the successful school may decide, to cost $100. To the public school in Terre Haute receiving the second highest number of votes The Mail will give a Library costing 150. To the public school in Terre Haute receiving the third highest number of votes The Mail will give a Library costing $25.

In addition to these substantial prizes for the schools. The Mail also offers the following inducements to every person interested in the award of these Libraries:

To the teacher receiving the highest number of votes in the City Library Contest, The Mail will give a Webster's International Directory, the latest revised edition, with a Complete Reference Index.

To the boy who is credited with the highest numlH'r of coupons in the Library Contest. The Mail will give a $10 Gold Piece.

To the girl credited with the highest number of coupons in the Library Contest, The Mail will give a $10 (told Piece.

Now Altgeld wants to straighten things out by impeaching the judges when they don't render the decisions desired. He issued this ultimatum, however, long after he had himself retired from the bench.

THK dispatches told us this week of the prominent part in a Kansas wreck taken by Mr. ltryan one day this week. Mr. Bryan's great experience in wrecks should make him quite useful in all affairs of that kind.

TIIK governor and his staff took part in the Sons of Veterans' parade in Indianapolis yesterday, and when the members of the city council over there saw the formidable list of colonels attached to the staff they discussed a proposition to «xtend the city limits in order to accommodate them. Indiana is rapidly becoming a rival to Kentucky in its production of colonels.

THKRK is no fusion bet-ween Dame Nature and Populism in the state of Kansas this year, else the Populist hank examiner, John \V. Breidenthal— a Terre Haute man, by the way would not be able to say, as he did officially this week, that "Kansas is to-day the most prosjerous state iu the union. Never in the history of Kansas has then? been so much money with which to pay debts as we find in the state today." Big crops and good prices are good for the farmers of Kansas, but they is death to Populism.

parties. This gentleman, whose name is the uncommon one of Smith, is not satisfled with the way the world is going round in Indianapolis, and he is going to start thte wheels the right way, backed up by an "independent" movement. When the rotes are counted next month the swelling in his barrel and his head will both be reduced, and he will come about as close to being elected mayor of Indianapolis as

The gentleman in question has made all his money in wheels and the wheels seem to have gone to his head.

FOB woman, Octave Thanet seems to have sized up the average "good citizen pretty thoroughly in an article on elections in the September Scribner's. She makes one of her characters say: "After all, I think its the decent, honest men that make me the sickest—too timid to speak out, too lazy to go to the primaries, and too damned stingy to give a cent to the campaign funds. They seem to think their whole civic duty is performed if they go to the polls once a year. It is enough to make a man want to emigrate." No man who has had any experience in politics could put it more cleverly, and she might have added that it is the "decent, honest men" she refers to that make it possible by their indifference for such machines as Tammany and the Republican and Democratic machines of Chicago and other large cities—and small ones, too—to exist. The machines against which reformers—"honest, decent men"—are wont to inveigh will never be wiped out of exiseence until those whose duty it is to attend primaries awaken to a realization of what they should do.

OXK day recently a report was printed in a Cincinnati paper, noted for its sensationalism, to the effect that the officials of Klwood, this state, were endeavoring to drive out of that city a colony of negro residents. It was brought to the attention of Governor Mount by an appeal from the Anti-Mob and Anti-Lynch Law Association, and upon investigation it was discovered that there was absolutely nothing in the statement, which came from a correspondent of the paper in question, who had nothing to warrant him in making the wild assertion. The officials of Elwood are using every effort in their power to undo the effects of this cheap lie, and it is a satisfaction to know that the author of it is to lose his position with the paper that printed hia story. This Elwood "fake" reminds one of the wonderful stories akin to this that formerly were sent to the metropolitan papers from Vincennes and Brazil. Scarcely a day passed that there was not some wonderful story from one or the other of these towns, and Baron Munchausen, in his most vivid moments never conceived of anything to equal some of them. The Vincennes and Brazil correspondents were so industrious that the average newspaper reader in this vicinity, the first thing in the morning glanced at the telegraphic columns to see what dread and unusual thing had happened in those towns. Recently, however, like Othella, they have found their occupation gone, and the man from Elwood has had a monopoly on the sensational news from Indiana. Since his last lie, however, it is likely that his efforts will be redxiced in volume.

A MOTHER'S DREAM.

She's dreaming, fondly dreaming, of the happy future, when Her boy shall stand the equal of his grandest fellow men. Her boy, whose heart with goodness she has labored to Imbue, Shall be, in her declining years, her lover proud and true. She's growing old—her cheeks have lost the blush and bloom of spring. But oh! her heart is proud because her son shall be a king Shall be a king, of noble needs, with goodness crowned, and own The hearts of all his fellow men, and she shall share his throne. Boy. your mother's dreaming there's a picture pure and bright That gladdens all her homely tasks at morning noon and night A view that takes the whole of life within its loving scope Oh, boy, beware! you must not mar that mot-f'oi-'s dream and hope.
