A PAPER

FOR THE

PEOPLE.

A. C. DUDDLESTON, Editor and Proprietor.

Publication Office, No. 501*4 Ohio Street. Telep'uoae 409.

Tbe Mail is sold in the city by newsboys and nil newsdealers, or will be delivered to any address, by mail, at tbe rate of $2 a year, $1 for six months, or 50 cents for three months.

Entered at the PostofBce at Terre Haute, Ind., as second-class matter.

His pictures show that Wharton Barker's politics are written in his whiskers.

A number of Filipenos is asking for annexation to the United States, which does not display any lack of intelligence.

PATY DU CI.AM, one of the army ring that persecuted Dreyfus, should be made to swallow an overdose of his own name.

WITH 1223,000.000 in the national treasury there is not much argument for sixteen to one tokens and lightning-press paper scrip.

THE Spanish press has not been more abusive and malignant towards American officers and officials than some of our scare head papers.

TALKING

behind closed doors in the

Spanish cortes naturally vexes General Weyler. What he wants is a housetop and a megaphone.

WIIKNKVKR the talk about John Bull's isolation grows loud he suddenly turns up as twins or triplets, with a good friend at one side or both sides.

Li HUNG CHANG finds that yellow is not a good color to wear, having lost his daisy colored jacket, in consequence of Great Britain demanding his scalp, ffuratively speaking. _______________

WHY is it that a.street paver, instead of fixing up six squares of sidewalk on one side of a street, tears up three on each side? Probably because the pedestrian can walk in the middle of the street or go around.

ANY enterprise, like the street fair, to stir up trade and sft money moving, brings once more to view that old guard, which neither plays nor pays. If there is anything to be made out of it, it makes it, and if not it can kick, which requires neither a good temper nor good money.

IT

was a significant incident at Cincinnati when the veterans choked off Governor Pingree from saying what they expected would be a slur upon General Alger. The veterans, out of their ripe experience, condemn the yelping pack which pursues Alger. They know what war and its privations and sufferings are.

GKN. SIIAKTKR and other officers are bearing a hotter fire at home than some of them found at Santiago. There the shots came from trenches and tree tops. Here they como through unsigned newspaper articles. Nowadays a soldier may be as brave as a lion and as patriotic as Washington and not escape calumny.

TIIK Dutch, 4,500,000 strong, have governed 45,000,000 East Indians over 200 years without losing a characteristic. Some of our anti-expansionists show hysterical alarm over the probable effect of 7,000,000 primitive Filipenos, 0,000 miles off, on 70, 000,000 enlightened Americans. If we can't beat the Dutch, wc can at least do as much.

IN the four months' service of this year 240,000 nuMi the death rate in the army has been 5.4 per 1,000, or 10.2 per year, a lower rate than that of Iondon, ftn exceptionally healthy city. In 1861 the annual mortality from disease in the union army was 24 per 1,000. In Camp Alger it was at least one-third less. The British mortality from sickness in the Crimea was seventeen times that of our army during the war with Spain.

CARL SCHICK/., who would give the Philippines to Great Britain or Hollaud because it would be wrong for the United States to keep them, is like the girl who got religion at camp meeting and sold her jewelry to her sister, as it was wicked to wear it. lie also resembles the boomerang, an instrument that flies in the most unexpected direction. While Schuns lives the census must read about 70,000,000 people and one Sehuru.

ALTHOUGH there is much petulance, partisanship and exaggeration in the outcry over abuses in the army, it would cause much satisfaction and be a wholesome lesson if the gilt buttons aud shoulder straps could be jerked from some inefficient officials. Men who rush in to assume the care of other men's lives should do what they undertake orpay the penalty due to failure. In civil life men suffer for their mistakes, but in government service they draw full pay for good or poor service.

IT

will not be easy to point to a finer battle, nor greater gallantry than was seen at the capture of the MahdPs capital on tiie Upper Nile when the Anglo-Egyptian army, made up of British, Egyptian fellaheen and Soudan negroes, defeated thosd splendid fighters, the fierce tribes of the of the Soudan and desert. The Emirs led their forces to the charge again and again, and were much more gallant than Spanish soldiers, while the Anglo-Egyptians showed the dash and bravery that was exhibited by American soldiers.

Tim Nihilists, by theirreeeat attempt to assassinate the e*ar, again display the unreasoning fury of the average anarchist Tht-ir blow followed closely the otar's human* and lofty add ram in favor of universal peace. None but a powerful monarch can lead a movement for retiring the

TEEKE HAUTE

The garrulous ex-secretary went on to say, "We must not forget that Spain fought hard, and she killed many of our men." Coming down to facts Spain hard ly compares with Sitting Bull, for the damage actually inflicted in downright fighting. Sherman prattling in the democratic prints reminds us of a shorn Sampson making sport for Philistines.

Famous War horse*.

Horses in war suffer more fatalities than men. Out of the many thousands who perish in their duty toward their masters only few return home to spend their lives in the ease and honor they deserve. One warhorse, however, which made a splendid record for himself and now has his virtues, name and noble deeds engraved on a fitting tombstone was Copenhagen, tbe horse the great Dnke of Wellington rode at the battle of Waterloo.

Nine years after the Emperbr Napoleon died at St. Helena an old white horse perished of old age and pneumonia in England. The skeleton of tbe animal is set up in the Royal Service institution, and to all visitors it is pointed out as Marengo, the charger Napoleon rode at the battle of Waterloo. Marengo came originally from Egypt and was left to wander on the dismal battlefield when the emperor was forced to fly for his life. An English officer found and took him, and be was sold to a general in the British army. In English pastures, cared for by kindly grooms, this noble horse passed tbe latter years of his life far more peacefully and happily than his great and unfortunate master. —London Mail.

Subdued the Virago.

While Spurgeon was still a boy preacher he was warned about a certain virago and told that she intended to give him a tongue lashing. "All right," he replied, "but that's a game at which two can play." Not long after, as he passed her gate one morning, she assailed him with a flood of billingsgate.

He smiled and said: "Yes, thank you, I am quite well. I hope you are the same."

Then oame another burst of vituperation, pitched in a still higher key, to whioh he replied, still smiling: "Yes, it does look rather as if it is going to rain. I think I had better be getting on!" "Bless the man!" 'she exclaimed, "he's as deaf as a post. What's the use of storming at him?" and so her ravings ceased and were never again attempted.

A Narrow Escape.'

"Ah, no!" she sighed. "There is nothing new under the sun." Ho felt around for the mustache he thought he was raising and turned a beseeching look upon her. "Of course," she went on, "that oan't be classed as new. It looks several weeks old at least."

For a moment, however, she thought she had permitted the Cooplethwaite millions to get away.—Indianapolis Journal.

Warding Off Jealousy.

Old Gotrocks (savagely)—What's that! You mean to tell me that you really love my daughter for herself alone?

YouugHardnp (tremulously)—Y-yes, sir, but I think I could learn to Move you, t-too, sir, in t-t-time, sir.—Vanity Fair.

Freedom From a Terrible Slavery. At last, 1 am tbankfnl to say, the opera is dead. No longer shall my soul be corroded by the thought that I ought to be in my stall and am not. No longer when I am in my stall shall I writhe in anger to think of the stupidity of wasting my time so.—London Saturday Review.

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. Hallos Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood aud mucous 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 falls to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

JOHN SHERMAN said that it was not necessary for us to go to war with Spain, that he bad several consultations with the Spanish minister on the subject and could have arranged a treaty by which Spain would have retired peaceably from the Island of Cuba. ct 'w

Mr. Sherman is very credulous, if quoted rightly by the St. Louis Republic, which is open to doubt. The wily Spaniard was fooling him. Yery few now will believe that the Spanish wonld have retired from Cuba without a fight. They would have dickered and played with Sherman as they tried to do with others.

Cheap Money.

We hear much of cheap money in the east, but when the technicalities, delays, vexations, commission and charges are all counted, the borrower finds it far cheaper to go the Terre Haute Trust Company when he wants a loan or mortgage on good real estate, or on collateral security of bonds, or building and loan stock. It is a home institution, it has the money on hand and makes loans in amounts to suit borrowers on the most accommodating terms without delay, and at as low rates as the eastern companies. Why have the delays and vexations of dealing with the agents of eastern companies when you can be accommodated on better terms at home. If you want a loan go direct to the Terre Haute Trust company.

ANNOUNCBMBU TS.

WILL YOU LEAVE YOUR FAMILY? Not one business man in thirty-three leaves his family anywhere near money enough to continue the comforts he has educated them to need and expect.

This suggests, immediately, action on your part in the direction of life insurance. Your life represents a money value to your family. That value should be protected by an equivalent amount of life insurance.

Your duty to your family does not end when you die. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York can protect your family fully. Gallon the general agent for particulars. W. A. HAMILTON,
