David B. Hill has keen reduced down to one fence and he is sitting on that.

It is said that the Popocratic canvass in Ohio needs a fire to keep itself warm.

Governor Tanner wants a newspaper. His enemies should encourage him to start one.

The Hon. Horace Leonidas Chapman is rattling through ,the Ohio canvass like a 92 model.

The mints of India are to remain closed. It is time for our roving commission to shut up also.

In spite of his immigration bill veto, Grover Cleveland talks as if he believed in education.

Three months more of Luetgero will be bad enough but not so bad as four years more of Grover.

It might foe remarked in passing that Senator Gorman's generosity is still in the theoretical stage.

Mr. H«nna is reported to be ill, but all the indications are that he is making the other fellows sick.

In Missouri a boy carried a stick of dynamite to school with him and now Mary's little lamb isn't in it.

It is not often a man displays so much enthusiasm as Jim Corbett in an effort to get himself licked a second time.

Dr. Parkhurst is in Paris. He ought to find some things in that brilliant capital worthy of a Parkhurstian crusade.

It is to* be expected that Democrats and Popocrats will lambast Thomas C. Piatt, but Republicans should know better.

In the Chicago Times-Herald a poet wonders why it is that Cupid doesn't get married. Wouldn't it be a funny god that would go against his own game?

When you meet a political reformer—a purist in politics—you are apt to recognize a man you used to know as office-hungry in one of the great parties.

George Fred Williams thinks he is going to be elected governor of Massachusetts, and yet some people pretend that his thinking apparatus is not deranged

In England cofflins are to be had for eightpence each. It must be a mighty stingy man in that country who will stand back on dying because of the expense.

Why Indiana and Illinois newspapers should be trying to discount •ail the signs of better times wien there {.• no election in either state is past finding out.

Seth Low's rough and tumble scramble for the' Greater New York mayoralty reveals, among many other things, how easy it is for some men to dismount from a very high horse.

Prince Bismarck calls the Monroe dictrine a "bluff." England attempted to act upon a similar theory not long ago and can tell the man of blood 4nd iroh that if wouldn't ..work.

AltgelS tries to convince people that there is no proseprity. In other words he endeavors to justify his own existence as a political prophet. Many a man has lied under the influence of the law of self-preser-vation.

Lady Howard of Glossop does not like everything American. She says the men over here "expectorate in the presence of ladies." Whether this is distinctively an American custom or not may be disputed, but the fact remains that it is a villainous habit.

It is not in eveidence that the Hon. John L. Sullivan is going to make his celebrated rush count for much in the Boston mayoralty contest. However, John can allay the pangs of his dissapointment by repairing to a barroom and beating the face off some small cnipple.

A few days ago the Indianapolis Journal expressed the hope that Terre Ha ite would "keep to the right," which was an intimation that the city usually went wrong. A display headline in the Journal of yesterday tells of an affray in a saloon on Sunday in •which a number of persons were stabbed. Stabbing and shooting affrays in Indianapolis saloons during illegal hours are of common occurrence. Rarely, if ever, is there an affray in a Terre Haute saloon during hours they are supposed to be closed and yet one would suppose from reading the Indianapolis newspapers that Terro Haute is a lawless and disorderly city.

HANNA AS AN ORATOR. "I km not an orator, and I know nothing of the art of entertaining a crowd by speech."

These are the simple and modest words of Mark Hanna of Ohio. They are thorough(y characteristic of that widely misrepresentsd man. Everything he has ever said in public has indicated a charming simplicity ind sincerity of nature. When the election of last fall was over and the chairman of the Republican national committee returned to his home at Cleveland he was tendered magnificent banquet at which were present the leading men of the state of Ohio. Vir. Hanna made a speech that occasion, srief, simple, extemporaneous, in which he paid to William McKinley a tribute of affection that stands as a rare specimen of unadorned elqouence. Since that time Mr. Hanna has made many speeches and the Hon. Perry S. Heath has this to say of him in the role of an orator: "Senator Hanna has yet a summer or two before he reaches the age of three-score years, and it 5s not likely that he will attempt to make study of the technique ot oratory, but I predict that before the end of his service Jn the States seriate he will take rank nuMki forcible and. certain^ ©a#

of the most pleasing speakers in that body. His great power lies not only in his brevity, but in the simplicity of his language, .and the earnestness he throws into his subject. What he says is most magnetic it spreads like camp meeting religion it is infectious, even to the ytmost stranger, and the most indifferent hearer."

When Mr. Hanna said that he was no an orator, he was not copying the methods of Marc Antony when that wonderfully clever man declared that he was *'no orator, as Brutus is." The Ohio senotor was sincere. He did not make the statement publicly but privately to his nearest friends. He meant it. He had not been giving any attention to public speaking and naturally felt that it was an art in which he could have no skill. But we fiind in his success upon the stump one more illustration of the fact that "wit suggests its own delivery." The man who has something to say is generally able to say it with sufficient clearness for his hearers to get the benefit of it and in doing so he fulfills all the requirements of a public speaker of the practical sort. 'J-Tv

Rhetoricians have ceased to be orators simply because they are rhetoricians. The crown-of-thorns-and-cross-of-gold metaphor is a bit of highly Imaginative speech that probably belongs properly in a certain style of oratory, but not in the highest style. It is a piece of exaggerated expression that one would scarcely expect to find growing out of the most careful and conscientious thinking. True oratory is apt to love the companionship of truth. It may be and must be more or less an affair of the imagination, but it cannot be all Imagination and amount to anything. Fine language and graceful gestures are well enough as the accompaniments or oratory, but they are not the body of it, they are not the seat of its vitality. Thought, fact, knowledge, information—these things will be found as the really effective elements in an oration.

DISCIPLINE AND BRUTALITY. It would be interesting to learn upon what theory of discipline Colonel Robert H. Hall of Fort Sheridan bases his ideas as to the treatment of enlisted men, comments the Chicago Record. Colonel Hall in his testimony before the court appointed to inquire into the Lovering case says he approves of all that Lovering did in the affair of Private Hammond. He affirms that the officer was perfectly justified in kicking and prodding the recalcitrant soldier. His approval, of course, extends to acquiescence In Lovering's peculiar methods in trying the private by the heels and having him dragged along the ground to the court whither he had been ordered.

Colonel Hall, like some other military men, fissumes that this is a matter of which only military men are competent .to judge, and that, therefore, it is none of the civilian public's business. He intimates that such, methods as Lovering used are necessary in the maintenance of discipline, and that no civilian can know anything about it. Even a civilian, however, may know a little about the effects of brutality upon men and can grasp the fact that an officer can be a gentleman and still maintain all needed discipline. The brutalizing effects of such an exhibition as that made in the treatment of Hammond are as '.ar as possible1 contrary to the influences which are to be sought in maintaining respect and obedience. The "discipline" in this case was administered on the theory, apparently, that the private soldier is a brute and must be treated as such. How long the private soldier will consent to be treated as a brute before he decides to live up—or down—to bis officers' opinion of him is merely a question of time..

If officers are to be allowed to maltreat their men as they may happen to see fit, the time will soon come when the United, States will have to go begging for enlistments, or else put up with a class of recruits who are content to set aside the theory that they are men and soldiers and accept their position as something and a little better ithan^that of dogs, and considerably below that $f humap j?etng$r ^Setting aside the ethical question^ ani$ the .mere matter of humanity,-iPolo«§( HfrtjL-an^ Captain Lovering .have still toi{epcpl»ir in jvfcat conceivable way this kind,of treatment ,1s conducive to better disciplines

The Charleston News says it asked a Mattoon man if the grand jury would investigate the street fair "at the instance of the moral element," and he replied that he thought "most of the moral element had a chuck-a-luck game of their own on the street."

The Veedersburg annual street fair— Veedersburg has been holding these fairs for nearly ten years—closed Saturday night in "a blaze of glory," whatever that may mean. The Veedersburg News says the "fakirs and gamblers came in droves, offered all kinds of money if they could only play their little games and upon being refused, cursed the town and left for greener fields." There was a fatal accident to the parachute man. Professor Geinsley, of Carbon, Saturday afternoon. The balloon took fire at 2,000 feet and burned his parachute before he could loosen it. He fell the full 2,000 feet and his body was mashed out of all semblance to the human form.

A few days ago a man named Kurtz appeared at the home of Isaac Mattix in Sullivan county and wanted Miss Lucretla Mattix to comply with her promise to become his bride. She has been in correspondence with him for some time but had never seen him. He represented that he is president of & silver mine in Arizona, and Miss Mattix telegraphed to learn if his representation was correct. The reply was evidently satisfactory, as Mr. Kurtz has been with the family since and several times has accompanied Miss Mattix to Sullivan on shopping bent. He has .spent money freely. S

South Bend is trying to have a street fair before the snow flies. .-

There is beginning to be some adverse criticism of Governor Mount in regard to the prosecution of the "best citizens" who lynched five men at Versailles. There seems to be no way to institute proceedings against them as the local sentiment prevents action by the grand jury and the Ripley county officials will not act. The governor is virtually powerless. The governor should not be held to a strict accountability for all he was credited with having said he would do. Unquestionably he said he would do all within his power to punish the lynchers bat he was credited with saying there was C0 doubt thai they would be pnished, as i£

to say fie. stood pledged to accomplish that good result. This is not the first time the governor has been, paraded in the heroic attitude, which* is one he does not assume at any_ time. He is a liiifferer from too much newspaper prominegce of the literary bureau quality.

The Vincennes Commercial says the machinery which is being put in the new distillery George L. Woolsey is building in that city is all of the fr ^t and most Improved pattern and is being placed in position by experienced hands. The elevator machinery will soon be in position and the millwrights are at work. The rectifiers and the cookers are already in position and the buildings for the reception of" the copper work have been prepared. The placing in position of gigantic boilers and engines is tedious toll, and notwithstanding the fact' that a number of masons are at work "bricking up" the foundations and furnaces, it will require several days to gfet this part of the factory ready. The otheij. machinery must then be placed in position and the connections made. The electric light plant is being put in and the big smoke stack is now here and will be erected in a few days. It will be 175 feet high.

The placing of such a vast aitiount of machinery in a scientific and substantial manner is necessarily slow work, and Mr. Woolsey says that it will require a .month or six weeks further time to complete the job and have the distillery ready for operation. The immense engines, gigantic cookefs, the big engines, all the pipes and t^ew .intricate ramifications and connections comprise the principal part of the plant. .J

In the case of Sargent Staggs, trustee of Perry township, vs. the board of commissioners, appeal from the Commissioners' Court to the Circuit Court, to prevent the board from reducing a township order for $850 to $650, says the Brazil Democrat, Judge McGregor decided that the board of commissioners had no right to reduce the amount of the township order, and that the Hunt Bridge Co. of Indianapolis, in whose favor the order was, drawn, was entitled to the full amount.

The case is the first under the law passed by the last legislature, giving the board of commssioners the right, as an auditing board, to reduce the amount of a -township order when it is thought excessive.

The cose was a hard fought battle. There is a great deal of bitterness between the trustee's supporters and Perry township citizens who were fighting the matter. Judge Coffey, Albert and Scott Payne were the attorneys for Trustee Staggs, while the county was represented by E. S. Holliday.

The county, which was supported by a large number of Perry township citizens, contended that the township order providing for the payment of $850 for four'road -graders and ten scoops was excessive. They also contended that the township, jwas not in need of. four new road graders. ..Jh^y produced witnesses to prove that the, t^) road graders which the township already had wefe sufficient to do the work.

John Jeffers testified that the,rjag5nt of the Hunt Bridge Co. had offered to'sel! him the same road graders for $150 forJwhich the township had paid $200 each/1

C. F. Hunt of the Hunt Bridge :d was put on the stand and admitted Mf». tfeffers had been offered the same machineries $150. Mr. Hunt also,admitted that hiaxAompany had one price when selling to iqjliviLduals and another price when selling to townships and municipal corporations. ...

Judge McGregor in his decision .said the county had produced a preponderance of evidence showing that the road gra4?rs were not needed, but added that was, a matter which must be left to the trustee's discretion, and as that had not been abused he would not interfere. He also docided that the price paid by the trustee for the road graders was a fair market price, as shown by the evidence.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Indianapolis Journal: Democratic orators in the states where elections will be held the first Tuesday in November are declaring that the prosperily which has been announced is bogus but the president of 'the Pennsylvania Railroad company, who has been inspecting Its 8.882 miles of line, reports unmistakable indications of prosperity and backs it up by making provision for a large expenditure to perfect the lines and increase the rolling stock.

Chicago Inter Ocean: The participants in the Qisneros escape are reaping rewards beyond the mere consciousness, and Mr. Decker, the rescuer, are receiving enthusiastic ovations the lady has had free board and lodging at the Waldorf, and the gentleman has been made a brigadier general in the Cuban army. Mark Twain, quoting the saying. "Be virtuous and you will be happy," added, "and very lonesome." But the Ctsneros case exhibits a marked exception to Mark's cynical observation.

Chicago Tribune: Pub He sentiment Is rapidly awakening to 'the brutality of the so-called gaine of foot ball, as is shown by the news that the authorities of Marquette college have decided to suppress the sport in that institution. The decision was arrived at after a contest in Milwaukee Saturday afternoon, at which one player was "knocked out" by a blow from a list, another was kicked twice in the neck, and a third was so seriously Injured that he fainted several times after the game. Other colleges will sooner or latejr be forced to follow Marquette's example and eventually an end will be put to the dangerous, barbarous and degrading practice.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Spain is undoubtedly correct in saying, in her note to United States Mfnister Woodford, that she has done ail in her ppwer to end the war in Cuba.', She has sent many times more soldiers to Cuba than any other nation ever did to a rebellious colony. No nation in history ever made sodii a vast expenditure of money in a conflict,of this sort. These sacrifices, however, have all been vain. The insurgents are apparefarty stronger now than they ever were befo^t. smaller part of 'the interior of the island 3* controlled by the Spanish forces at this moment than was in their direct possession a year ago. or tta-ee months ago. The thtfd commander whom the Spaniards have had is the Cuban conflict will soon be on the island. ^There is no good reason to believe that tie -will escape the bad fortune which attended his predecessors. Spain says she "will not «dr mit the right of any foreign power to interfere in any of hei affairs." This, of course, is the answer which the United States expected to any offer of mediation which would ur ?nade. yet the world believes that the time when Spain will have to confess. defeat and abandon Cuba is not far distant.

1'LATT HITS AT LOW

HBW YOBK SENATOR DENOMINATES HIM A DEMOCRAT,

Through Seth Low the Cleveland Clique la Endeavoring: to Recover Its Lost Prestige For Use in 1900.

Special to the Chicago Tribune. New York, Oct. 24.—Senator Piatt returned from Washington last night where he consulted President McKinley and many other prominent Republicans concerning the campaign in New York State and Greater New York. He told the Tribune correspondent this Afternoon every Republican he saw in Washington was deeply interested in the success of the party in New York. Tonight he gave out an interivew on the situation. It the first statement respecting politics Senator Piatt has made since August S of the current year.

Senator Piatt said:|j|&Jri|j -Vr1 "In response to many inquiries as to how the municipal campaign is likely to end, 1 want to say that in my belief General Tracy has won the election. There are three Democratic candidates in the field—four, counting Gleason—among -whom the Democratic vote will be divided. It is not a majority vote anyhow. The Democrats have never had a majority in the territory now consolidated since the enactment

"He is a revival of Clevelandi6m. He has the support of all that noisy and insolent crowd that grovels at the feet of Cleveland. He has been brought forward as the expression of their notions and their hopes. And that which makes his success impossible is the fact, now so clearly presented in the.«minda of the community, that through Low -this Cleveland clique are endeavoring to recover their lost prestige for use in 1900. "The Republican vote, on the other hand, is consolidated upon. a single candidate. Every district in New York has been thoroughly canvassed by the Republican organization and its leaders know the situation as accurately as it can be known by anybody until the votes are actually cast and counted. They approach the crisis of the campaign with absolute confidence. There is not an assembly district in the whole city where the loss of Republican votes to Low will amount to 15 per cent of the normal..

Republican strength. Even this small percentage of., loss can occur in no more than twelye out of the fifty-nine assembly districts into which the new municipality is divided. In all the other assembly districts the Republican loss to Low will be utterly trivial.

"In other words, Low will receive a much larger Democratic than Republican support, and it is not the least interesting feature of this extraordinary campaign that the candidacy of Low instead of smashing the Republican party, as it was intended to do, will really be an additional and distinct force for Republican success. George and Low, having identified themselves in other respects, will be identified in this—that each will help to use up and split up the Democratic vote and leave the consolidated Republican vote'triumphantly potential. "Of course I do not forget those Low lists. They are decidedly the most amusing thing in the way of a political 'fake' that has been exhibited hereabouts during my experience. They are not worth a detailed examination. The simple fact that they place Low's chief strength as a candidate in the districts below Fourteenth street makes them so obviously absurd that it would be a waste of time to discuss them. In districts where they give him nearly 50,000 votes he will not have 4,000.

"Nor do I forget that there are some Tammany and Wall street gamblers who seem to be trying desperately to give new proof of the adage that 'a fool and his money are soon parted.' Campaign betting has •always been Tammany Hall's chief argument. It is supposed to be very effective with a class of voters who don't know how they will vote until they are persuaded how others will vote. There may be such a class in this community, but it Is not large. To bet that Low's vote will exceed Tracy's is just like throwing money into thq fire. To bet that Tracy's will exceed Van Wyck's is like picking it up in the streets. "And so I say to Republicans, keep steadily at work. You have already won, and are winning in greater measure every day. Your constant and united efforts will bring this great city, with Its tremendous influence upon the affairs of the country, to the support of the Republican party and the nobjie principles for which it stands. You have nominated the best ticket that was ever offered to the people of this comnlunity. You bring to them the services of a man as the first mayor of Greater New York -whose character, ability, and experience place him high above any of those who think themselves his rivals in the race. You have stood for your principles, as principles should always be stood for, without compromise or denial. "You are entitled to win. You deserve to win. Your victory will do more to secure stability to business and solidity to credit and to give impetus and permanence to our new prosperity than can be accomplished by any public event. It will say to the country that this great center of commerce and capital, from which is drawn the vitality of all enterprise, is true to the sound policies for which it spoke one year ago. It will assure to tbe people of New York a pure, independent, and efficient administration of their local affairs. It will start the new city upon its new career with the respect and confl-

election law. They used to have majorities, any kind of majority that suited their taste and convenience. They had absolute control of the lectoral machinery at every poll. The appointment of all the ballot clerks, poll clerks, and inspectors was lodged unreservedly in the hands of the Tammany board of police commissioners. Theoretically, the law required minority representation at the polls, but in practice that was ignored. The alleged Republican representation was dn practice provided by the Tammany election district captain. "This gave unlimited opportunity tor fraud, and fraud was practiced in an unlimited way. But when Governor Morton and a Republiean legislature were elected in 1893 the law was changed and a bipartisan control of the polling places was established. The two leading parties are now equally represented at every polling place, as by law they should toe in the police commission, and would have been had Mayor Strong done his duty as,the law requires in the selection of police commissioners. The ballot clerks, poll clerks, and inspectors are now appointed on the nomination of the official heads of the two principal parties, and since that has been the case the Democrats have

had a majority in the City of

New York. They won in 1895, but they did not win against the Republican party. "Whatever their present vote may be, it is going to be divided -between Van Wyck, George, Low, and Gleason. Van Wyck will probably get the most of it, George will get a huge portion of it, and Low will get a substantial remainder. Low is the candidate of four Democratic organizations, the Ship Democracy, the Garoo Democracy, the Purroy Democracy, and the Steckler Democracy. More and more as the canvass has proceeded he has become identified before the public with the Democratic party. He is the embodiment of the bolier-than-thou idea of the Cleveland party.

George M. and Walter Sanger Pullman, the twin brothers, and only sons, will have to undergo a period of probation before they will be intrusted with any portion of the late millionarire's fortune. It is learned through a close friend of the family, who has seen the will, that neither of the boys will lack pocket money. A number of shares in the Pullman Palace Car Company and other business will be turned over to the trustees who will provide them from $4,000 to $5,000 a year for five years. Should their conduct be pleasing to their mother and other members of the family they will then receive a number of valuable securities outright. The will was drawn two weeks ago, the escapades of his sons causing Mr. Pullman to make a new testament.

The Tribune says: Learning wisdom from the pages of history, wherein it is related that the body of millionaire A. T. Stewart was stolen from the grave and held for ransom, together with the frustrated attempt of ghouls to secure possession of the body of the martyr president, Lincoln, the family of Mr. Pullman decided to protect his remains, and all Saturday night while the world slept men were engaged in the work of incasing the mahogany casket holding the remains of the dead millionaire in the heart of solid rock, banded by bars of steel, and impregnable to the attack of vandals with picks or even dynamite itself.

The body of George M. Pullman will lie undisturbed as long as time shall last. None of the Egyptian monarchs, supposedly resting under the ponderous weight of pyramids, sleeps more secure from the encroachment of the living world than does the sleeping-car magnate in his grave at Graceland.

GEORGE M. PULLMAN'S WILL.

His Great Fortune Goes to His Family— His Sons on Probation. Chicago, Oct. 25.—The will of the late George 31. Pullman, the palace car magnate, will be probated on Tuesday or Wednesday next. It was read to the Pullman family Saturday night, after their return from the funeral, and was placed In the hands of Robert T. Lincoln. The will covers five sheets of foolscap paper, distributes $25,000,000 in money, real, estate, bonds, mortgages and notes, and names Robert T. Lincoln and Norman B. Beam as executors. Mr. Lincoln says the document Is very simple, considering the extensive interests involved. He will not give out the details until it is probated.

It is understood, however, that the bulk of the estate, will go to the widow. This will be held by her until her death, when it will revert -to the children, under certain conditions for the boys. Mrs. Florence Lowden, one pf the daughters, and regarded as the late money king's favorite child, will be made through the beneficiary one of the wealthiest women in Chicago. A considerable portion of the estate will likewise be inherited by her on the death of her mother. Mrs. Frank J. Carolan, the other daughter, will come in for nearly one million, hut is not so liberally endowed as her sister.

ABOUT 15,000 OF THEM KMPLOVKD IN THIS CITY

AT

THIS PKKSKNT TIME...

All the Factories Are Dolnf a Boom Business and Need More Girls Than They Are Able to Get.

There has been a rumor on the streets for some days that a new overall factory was contemplated in this city. In connection with the supposed enterprise the name of Mr. Elisha Havens was mentioned. He was seen yesterday afternoon by a imported for The Express and slated that he had never heard tell of any such project.

It is probable that the report started from the fact that Mr. John Hanley, the tent man, has been thinking more or less seriously of employing some girls to make overalls in his big building on the corner of Third and Mulberry streets. Mr. Hanley's son was seen yesterday at 1612 South Sixth street. The father was in ill health and did not care to be interviewed. The younger Mr. Hanley stated that they bad thought of utilizing their plant this wintef for making overalls, but that no definite plan had yet been decided upon. He did not know whether such a plan would be decided upon or not. In the winter tLme there is no demand for awnings and Mr. Hanley has been thinking of beginning the manufacture of overalls in order to keep his force busy all the year around. He has the necessary machinery for the work.

All the overall factories of this city are enjoying a boom. There are four of them and they employ in the aggregate, inside their factories And cut, almost 1,500 girls. Every one of the factories is short of help and the Frank people ate advertising for 300 seamstresses.

The Ehrmann Manufacturing Co., at 023933 Main street,, employs 300 girls in the factory and more than 200 outside. This is during the busy season. Ordinarily they give employment to about 400 girls all told. Messrs. Stahl & Urban at the corner of Ninth and One-half and Ohio streets cmploy 280 girls in the factory and perhaps 150 outside. Samuel Frank & Sons on Ohio street near Fifth employ from 300 to 450 girls in all. The Havens & Geddes Co. have 150 girls in their factory on the west side of North Fifth street opposite their newi building.

Every manufacturer of overalls, shirts, pants and similar garments in the city reports a large business. Said Mr. Cahrles A. Stahl: "We are doing 35 per cent more business this fall than we did a year ago. We have trouble to get enough girls to do our work. Of 100 girls that »me here and ask for employment ten prove capable of doing the work satisfactorily. Like the other factories we get our help not only from Terre Haute but from all the surrounding towns. We have a training department in our. factory where we teach young women how to make overalls, etc. The work requires a certain dexterity that/ only about ten girls out of 100 possess."

Continuing Mr. Stahl said: "Some people imagine that when times are hard we do a good business. This Is a mistake. When the men that wear overalls are not working they do not need overalls. They will patch the old pair. Of course the supply of our goods has been exhausted and the demand for them is but one of many signs of reviving prosperity. Men are finding employment and are calling for the & rments we manufacture."
