THE MAIL.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

A. C. DUDDLESTO.N, Editor ssd Proprietor.

Publlcatlon..O0lc©, No. 50154 Ohio Street. Telephone 4tQ. The Mall Is sold In the city by newsboys and all newsdealers, or will be delivered to any address, by mall, at the rate of |2 a year, $1 for six months, or 50 cents for three months. Entered at the PostofBce at Terre Haute, Ind.,

Mecoitd-class matter.

Tins has been a remarkable week, as lmt one football player has been killed since the last report.

'PBESIDKXT MC KISI-BV is now doubly a "Dr." The Chicago University conferred the degree of L. L. D. on him on Monday. His previous right to the title of "Dr." was earned by his prescriptions for the ills of the Cubans.

THE cause of union labor received an impetus this week in two notable directions. Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmaster general, himself a printer, decided on an appeal to him that all emergency printing required by the postofflce department in any of its offices must be done by the members of the typographical unions, while "Teddy" Roosevelt, in one of his speeches, dwelt at length on the labor question, approving labor unions, and declaring that "it is necessary to have the state interfere along certain lines to benefit the workingmen's position." In telligent, concerted action among workingmen in any particular line of business helps each individual concerned and benefits the employer, and to those who believe in the principle of unionism it is pleasing to see labor organizations approved in such high quarters.

THE bad weather interfered with, but did not prevent, the peace jubilee ceremonies at Chicago this week, and President McKinley certainly has reason to feel proud of the enthusiastic reception given him by the people of Chicago. He was bnnquetted enough to give him dyspepsia but this did not interfere with the masterly speeches that have marked his trip through the west. He is now enroute to Washington, and all during his passage through Indiana he was given a real Hoosier welcome, that at Indianapolis being especially enthusiastic. The schools were dismissed and business was practically suspended during his stay in the capital. No president ever enjoyed a more enthusiastic reception than has been accorded, him, and it demonstrates that he is nearer the hearts of the masses of the people than any president for many years, It has been charged that his trip was luatUt for political effect, but he has carefully refrained from referring to politics during his entire trip, and his receptions have been markedly non-partisan in every respect.

THIS country has been laying up some money for a rainy day, or saving it to spend with our own people, if selling to foreign countries more than we buy of them Is an indlcatiou. The statement of September exports, Issued by the treasury department, indicates that the calendar year 1898 will show the largest export record of any calendar year in the history of our foreign commerce. No September, save the exceptional one of 1807, has ever shown as large exports, and no nine months' period of the calendar year has come within 1100,000,000 of the record made by the nine, months ending with September, 1S98. The exportsof the month were $1)0,403,638, while no preceding September, except that of 1807, ever exceeded $80,000,000, the average September exports of the past fifteen years being less than $68,000,000. The average for the nine mouths of the calendar year since 1884 has been $*4,000,000, thus the September exportations and those of the entire nine months were in each case more than 83 per cent in excess of the average of the corresponding periods during the past fifteen years. The exports last month were $889,000,000 in round numbers, while the imports were $475,01X1,000. In 1893, which was looked upon as the most prosperous that had been known for many years in all branches of business, the imports were $tt!«,OOO,OO0, while the exports were but slightly in excess, $605,000,000. From the growth of our exporfcatlons, from $490,000,000 in 1887 to $866,000,000 in 1898, during the nine months' period named, it would seem that we have found the much sought for "markets of the world," and the falling off of imports makes it evident that we are making for ourselves many of the things we have heretofore been purchasing abroad, a condition that can but result in great advantages to our own people.

Food.

Is even regarded as a vile weed

can, with a little stretch of imagination, be turned into an ornamental plant or delicious vegetable. This'is especially the case with the common burdock, Lappa major. Schoolboys all know it from gathering the burs and compressing them together by the curved points of the floral involucre. This is all they know about it. It is difficult to see anything more to be despised in the burdock leaf than in the leaf of the rhubarb. It appears that it is largely used in Ohina for food, but it is stated that if the stalks be cut down before the flowers expand and then be boiled the taste is relished equally with asparagus. The leaves when young are boiled and etaten as we eat spinach. In Japan it is in universal nee. Thousands of acres are devoted to its culture, but in this case the root is the object. It requires deep soil to get the roots to the best ad vantage.—Meehan's Monthly.

A Swelled Head.

Atypical English woman, when some one spoke the other day of a certain man having a "swelled bead," looked dazed. "Beallyl You don't mean it! cried the English woman. "I'm very eoiry." A day or so later the English woman, happening to meet the wife of the man in question, observed that she was so sorry to hear that Mr. Blank was ill. "But he isn't!" cried the wife. "He was never better in his life." "Is that so?" said the English woman. "Why, what could Mrs. Dash have meant the other day when she said he was suffering from a swelled head?"

Wliat He Had on HI* Mind.

He—There is something I have wanted to say to you for a long, long time. She (demurely)—Well, don't—don't you think this is as good a time as—as any to say it?

He—That mole on the left side of your nose—I know a surgeon who can remove such things without a bit of danger.

They adjourned sine die that evening. —Ohioago News.

Consistent Indolence.

"Wot's de use o' wakin up dis way at 5 o'clock in de morninr" inquired Plodding Pete indignantly. "Well," answered Meandering Mike, "I take so much comfort out o' doin nothin dat 11'ought I'd like to git an early start."-—Washington Star.

Queer Postal Rale.

One of the peculiarities of postoffice rules is that a postmaster cannot accept postage stamps for postage due on letters at destination.

No Escape.

"What is your name, Mr. Throgson?" "My nam* is Adam, Miss Wellalong." "And my first name is Evel Dear me! What a—what a remarkable coincidence."—Chicago Tribune.

"I propose to make it (Shredded Wheat Biscuit) a staple article of food that I may be the better able to withstand the ravages of increasing years."

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.
