SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1890.

EsreRYosK should attend the races next week. Dow* went Cap. Davis to the bottom of the sea, dressed In a foreign suit of clothes.

Cokobuwsmah a us danced with Qoeea Victoria, but the public will now be interested in the ter|«ichorean maneuvres oI a tariff reformer in the shoes of a protectionist.

Kossbl Habbihou distinguished himself at the Fort Worth fire. He was cool and the press reports state that he did much to quell the panic that existed. Ha assisU-d in the worj§ of rescuing women and children and proved himself quite a hero.

EVAWSVU-LK and Indianaj»olis seem to have the best of Terre Haute in the new base ball deal. The capital city and our sister in the pocket, perhaps, realize the greatness of the Prairie City and that the combined effort of both places cannot keep a good city down.

A kumbku of city school buildings possess flags and they can be seen floating every pleasant day. Yesterday the stare and stripes were visible on many of them, including St Joseph's parochial school. It is well in teaching the young idea how to shoot to instil in them patriotic sentiment for the national emblem.

Tub police board renders a satisfactory explanation of the

uniform

Tiik warm weather is coming on and thm» is a feeling among many persons that a Saturday afternoon half-holkiay should be established during June, July and August. In many cities such a halfholiday has been given to workingmen and it has been found advantageous to all concerned. It might be tried in Terre Haute* The city is becoming sufficiently large to assume metropolitan ways. Saturday nights the streets are crowded with people shopping. Many of them have not an opportunity of coming up street until evening and in consequence there is a crush. Were the half holiday established there would fye '£•.71 earlier business trading and much less would lie done lato .Saturday night and

Sunday. With such aa order ofaflkirs •S„ there would l© no need of an open store Jv on Sunday and thw lay could be made one of absolute rest. 3lhe entire tendency of ^the times is towards a reduction of the

I "/hours of labor and the granting of greater freedom to those who earn their

.-livelihood by the sweat of their brow.

TUB NKWS hastens to set the police |?!oa!d right before UTe public. An injustice has been don© Messrs. Griswold asd

Steele, in connecting their names with I'UKI deal for the polk* uniforms. The fa*sai« as follows: The police board l| at its last meeting considered the qneejj|tioa of aew uniforms. Moons. Haggerty

Steele ami Supinfendent Davis were constituted a committee to investigate Urn matter, secure bids, etc. Mr. Steele left the eity and Mr. Hagjjerty and Sap* erinteadent Davis met Mr. Hatgert? said the sapi^rinUmdent ought to know what kind ol uniforms to punhase. He acoorUingty selected uniforms made by Cincinnati house. Only several local merchants were apprised of the matter. When the uniform* wens ordered and a cry went up, Utmm. Steele and Oriswoid were first aj^aiaed of the action that had bet® taken. They hastened to telegraph a countermand of the order, and at the next meeting of the police board the codtiact will be let torn Terre IlAnte hoot*. The respowabllity lor the blunder wets with JSaperinfamclcat Davis. Tt»c police board does aot

deserve censure. The information sent oat from police headquarters placed the responsibility on the police board, but it does not belong to anyone except Superintendent Davis. Messrs. Steele and Griswold are both «Terre Haute business men and are for the city. Superintendent Davis exceeded his authority in placing the order. It was done without the knowledge or consent of the majority of the police commission, and the board ban promptly remedied his blunder,

HERE AND THERE-

"Kid" Ralston is a sick kid. He is about on a par with young Houriet who— is not in Terre Haute anymore. Kid wanted to go to Chicago night before last and though dressed well, not to say flashily, hadn't a son marque in his pocket No. 9 pulled in from the south and Kid was missed from the platform. oat as the train pulled out, Kid jumped onto the platform with three Terre Haute papers, not teas than a week old, under his arm and on his head the uniform cap of a Union news agent who bad fallen asleep on a truck— at least a cap was missed shortly after. And this is the means by which Kid Ralston effected his passage to Chicago— by blinding the C. & E. I. conductor to the fact that he was not what he seemed— & Union news agent

Henry Steincamp, the popular German baker, is exceedingly found of hunting, although, if the truth must be uttered he is not what one who knows wodld call an artisric hunter. Henry, last season, purchased a handsome, well-trained setter, reputed to have come down from the Gordon family. During the quail hunting season Mr. Steincamp went up north of the city with his dog on a days hunting expedition. Up on Smock's farm at Fort Harrison, near a pile of brush, the dog made a beautiful stand. Steincamp approached to within range and there halted awaiting a shot He waited some minutes and then seized a club and throwing down his gun went up, caught the dog by the neck and pretty near poundeu the life out of him. The quails flew up and were out sf range before the hunter finished his little exercise with the unfortunate brute. Henry came back to the city disgusted. He expressed himself volubly to a friend regarding the dog's "fool actions" and wound up by saying "Mat dogone dog vas not vort dot powder und shot to blow off his tail. He schstand dere like ein grazy fool, afrait von dot quails, instead he go in dot

affair, yet

their action on the 11 o'clock and Sunday closing law remains unaccounted for. The law is being violated every day and the lioard should take cognizance of the fact. The violations of the law are most (iagrant and the public demands the enforcement of law and the preservation of good order. The new police board was constituted with the understanding that the law was to be enforced. Will the board do its duty?

Tub races will bo held next week and the meeting will be the greatest spring event ever held in Indiana. Terre Haute has reason to feel proud of her race track, her Trotting Association and their efforts. This city has achieved a national reputation as a horse center. The honor has been fairly won. The success is due to the enterprise and energy of those who have been interested in bringing to Terre Haute a clots of horses that are the best in the world. The management has been liberal and every inducement has boen offered to horsemen. That their efforts have been appreciated is attested by the fact that ever)* year numerous horsemen come to Terre,Haute to take advantage of our magnitlcient track. The benefit derived from the race meetings should not be under-estimated. Thousands come to the city and go away so well pleased that they return again.

estimate for special dispatches includes telegraph tolls and pay of the correspondents who furnish the news. This service is conducted by the publishers in the large centers of population, who find the reports furnished by the press associations •either not full enough, or not to the political taste of their readers. Here are the average monthly bills for special dispatches of fourteen leading journals: A dust* GotwtUut Jon I 1,100 Motion lloraM 5,.MM ChkmfO Herald...... *,800 ChU»m« Tribune 4.W ClnclutwU C-tunmwial ......... &.W0 Cliiotunitti Enquirer..................... 4.750 Kansas City Journal 1.080 MlmwwoiRiTrtbane 3.000 New York World fc,51 Wittwtelpbl* Prw* 3.6V) Sfcn FranciscoUl JWW sfen Fnuicteco Kxanttaer JUW0 St. LotttaOlobe IVmoerat. 11.

The foregoing are the extremes in this department of expenditure. Many excellent journals find it possible to limit their bills to from ffo0 to $1,000 per month.

The cost of the "local" news far exceeds that ol both the other departments not because the local services of individtutl papers cost more in every instance, but because many journals maintain local bureaus, yet pay nothing for pram or other dispatch**. The Mils for locai news el the leading New York dailies are the lurgwt of any in the country, and for two reasons-Hi larwr territory to cover and a greater demand from outside lor the local news ol New York.

Said an old gentleman the other day "There goes a woman who, up to her young girlhood, was as sweet and loving a child—as pure and beautiful a creature ever inherited life's blessings. She was beloved by her teachers and idolized by her young schoolmates. She was kind and obedient to her parents, and wherever she went she made her presence felt by the very sunshine that emenated from her innocent selfhood. She had lived a beautiful, pure life until at the age of (I think) Hi years, when she fell under the influence of a business man who was then quite prominent in commercial circles. He won all the affection of her pure being until her love for him became idolatry. Her father had died a year or two ljefore, and her mother was in feeble health. In an unguarded moment sho eloped with this man and at St Louis— or 1 believe at Effingham—with the aid of an accomplice she was victimized by a mock marriage. Too late she realized the horror of her situation, and from that first misfortune she fell gradually but surely into bad patlts until now that nearly 30 years has passed, she is a horrible wreck. The wretch who brought about her ruin left her, and where he is or if he iB living I cannot say. Her's was a dreadful downfall." Tub Nkws reporter, when his attention was first called to the subject of the old man's talk, turned and recognked a regular castaway, for whom death ought to be a blessing*

Ifalional teagae-PoMUMUtUw of tin fstore For the Association. The American Association is more titan holding its own alike in the mate* t«? of drawing^ capacity and play* lag strength, says Sporting Lite. Its fames are well patronised everywhere, indeed surprisingly so is the cities lnrioh are supposed to be weakest, and t^e race is close, exciting and deoidedJfr uncertain, in fact, the Association has tone so well that it is gaining ne^f Mends daily, its outlook for future existence is becoming brighter and the ambition of the leaders is reviving.

It is not strange, therefore, to find that the leaders are planning already for strengthening the Association next year. It is believed that Pittsburgh and possibly Cincinnati may again be unbraced within the circuit next season. Baltimore and Washington are also being figured upon, and Detroit can be had for the asking. On this point Mrv! Von der Ahe the other day expressed himself as follows: "Pittsburgh is certainly coming back Into the Association cirouit next yean There will be other changes in tho circuit, but this will be the most Important onew and the Association will again be as1 strong as it ever was in its history. MaH tors have progressed so far that 1 feel oer*Ikin of the accomplishmentof what I predict. Some time ago I received letters from parties financially interested in the Pittsburgh National League Club fM»Tfjr|f toe to use my influence in getting them back into the Association. The letters contained the statement that the club had lost money over since it had been in the National League cir^ cult that Pittsburgh is a twenty-five, cent ball town and strongly in favor of Sunday games that the olub owners realized that this would be a bad year financially in the old League, and that they wanted to get back to tho Association oircuit, twenty-five cent ball and Sunday games, on which plan they could make good money."

Mr. Von der Ahe stated that, of course, ho was in favor of Pittsburgh coming back, and that he would not be slow to help strengthen the Association through the same means employed by the League for a similar purpose last fall, when thoy took Cincinnati and Brooklyn out of the Association. Mr. Von der Ahe also stated that he believed Washington, too, would be in the Association next season that correspondence looking to that end was going on between himself asd parties in Washing" ton, and that plans had so far matured that a well-known base-ball agent had been employed and has secured an option on a very eligible site for a park in the neighborhood of the Washington Monument. It is very evident that all the base-ball war of the present year is not to be confined to the "war of extermination," which A1 Spalding regretfully speaks of as going on between the Brotherhood and the National League.

Just what the attitude of the Association toward the old League may be ft few months henee, as the Association grows stronger and better able to take oare of itself in the event of a general turn-up, is problematical, but straws show pretty clearly which way the wind blows. The Association in a quiet way measured blades with the League when the famous Lehane case was being considered by the board of arbitration and issued from the encounter victorious, and since then has given various unmistakable indications of a disposition to go it alone.

Now, dear Mr. Webber, what do you think an editor is? Why didn't you ask us to tell you how many hairs Billy Barnlti had on his head before he began managing base-ball? Or you might have put an easy one to us, like this: How many lemons and seltsers has Mike Kelly drank since last Ostober?, We might get a correct count of the number of times Captain Anson has. differed from the umpires' decisions durIng the last six years.

But tho National League has been in existence fifteen years and is liable to be on earth in fifteen years from date. There may be some bald-headed crank1 living who has kept a tab of all the League's good work in all those years, but we are not one of them.
