Inspiration of Imagination.

What is the main reason in life why the majority of people find one another

mortally tiresoma? Is it not because so few of them suggest to the imagination anything more inspiring than their own isolated and meager selves? The minute one falls lit with men or women who inevitably coll up some peak in the White mountains or picturesque cliff on" the seaeosst they dearly love, or coroe breathing hints of a favorite author, a Charles Lamb, or Cketheor Victor Hugo, to whom they have for years giveu the smile* or admirations of their souls, forthwith the world ot tedtousness or commonplace vanishes, and human intercourse becomes rich and stimulating. In point of tact, the highest capacity most people can manifest is the capacity of appreciation of some rare shape of beauty or nobleness. As «oon as they hove this they become themselves transfigured in the bright reflection shining from that to wliich they point.—Boston Herald.

Juno 2®.—The Republi

can State Convention for the nomination, of governor and other state officials was called to order at noon to-day in the Hall o! Represmtivea by the Hon.'W. A. Andrews, The attendance of politJdana apart from the delegates was sufficient to overflow the building, every section being represented, More interest and anxiety is displayed regarding the outcome oX the gathering than has been manifested at any., state convention of the .Republican party for many years. It is a critical day lor Senator Quay who, despite the advice and protests of influential and representative Republicans throughout the commonwealth, is determined to force the nomination of Belematejr as candidate for governor. The opposition is concentrated mainly upon Gen. Stings, although General Stone has a small support Delemater says this morning that the opposition is far in the rear and that hie own nomination is certain by at least twenty more than a majority on the second ballot

Uaexjiected complications, however, are likely to arise, and in this event it would not be at all surprising if Quay's name is sprung upon the convention and an effort made to nominate him by acclamation, One of his friends stated the other day "if anything was necessary to help Delameter I think that Baily's defeat 'for the position of sergeant-at-arma of the Senate has done it Quay felt his discomfiture in that fight very severely and he does not relish the talk about lack of

trestige in connectiofi with it The loss of prestige in Pennsylvania Which the forced withdrawal of Delematr er would bring, would be a death blow to Quay's continued prominence in political affairs nationally as well as state and be knows it. A solution of the difficulty may be found in Quay becoming gubernatorial candidate himself and such an outcome of the present complex and exciting situation is by no means improbable."

IOWA REPUBLICANS.

Prohibition the Isane—The Sncc«asrnl Candidate*. Sioux

CITY,

Iowa, June

25.—The

publican state convention was called to order at noon to-day. The candidates to be placed in nomination are secretary of state, judge of theSupremecourt,auditor, treasurer, attorney general, clerk and reporter of the Supreme court and railway commissioner. With the exception of the latter these eflices are all occupied by Republicans. The convention will be largely controlled by the Prohibition party, the leaden of which a few weeks ago issued an important circular regarding the gathering. In this they said among other things, 'We urge von tor{ use every effort to control the convention. The fanners will be plowing corn when the county conventions are being held and may, perhaps,, permit them to be controlled by men from the cities and towns. Holding the state convention so far from the center of population will entail upon many of the delegates such an expenditure of time and money as to restrict attendance to gentlemen of means and a classof politicians whose conscience revolt at the idea of subjecting a moral principle to the contaminating influence of politics. In this state a large majority of the Republicans are in favor of prohibition upon, principle. Nevertheless there has been all these years, and still is, a minority of the party vigorously protesting and seeking the overthrow of prohibition. As a most certain and speedy means to that end they are assiduously striving to bring about its repudiation by the party. We have reason to fear that the occasion{for the accomplishment of their purposes is near at hand and -deem it our duty to a of he an

Although th§ candidates for the various offices as not as numerous as in former years there are more than enough to go round. General Beesen, of Marshall county, has a walkover for the treasurership, the attorney general, Stone, is in the same favorable position. Auditor Lyon, who is seeking a third term, lias two opponents, while Hon. William McFariand leads for secretary of state. Judge Weaver was elected temporary cba'rmani He is a prohibitionist of the* ultra type and in has opening address mapped out the line of the prohibition issue that the convention frill follow, Chief Justice Rothrock will be renominated by acclamation.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 25. 1890. TWO CENTS.

THE CENSUS WAS STUFFED, The at«t«r»» #h«W«d Or*si#r I^|»Histim 1st

'88

Than w« Raatly »a4,

The cvnfiiis of 1880«bow^lTerre Haute to have a population of 26,043. But com* paratively few paoj»le know that this census was stuff&l and that the ^population was swelled 1,200 or more for special reasons. Such, however, is the case and as the census is now being taken the story of how the cenaos of# was stuffed will be of intereet It came about in this way. After the enumerator had tairly aceomplislved their work it became evident that thv population would fall below 25,000. Everybody knew what this meant In October,

1870,

the free mail delivery was

secured for this city and foi the census to show b»ss than 25,000 meant that the free deliver/system would be withdrawn. Nick Filbeek, who is ever active and on the alert, w«s not slow to perceive the situation. lie took the bull by the horns, and everybody knows that the bull didn't get away with Kick, It iraa abeolutely necessary for the census to show more than 25,000 in order to retain tho free mail delivery—at least people thought so then. .How to overcome the deficiency in the population was the pressing question of the hour.

A special and sc cret session of the council was called and the solons met at the appointed hour with closed doors. Then securely locked in they debated the question of how to increase the .population to the required number. It was ficaMy decided to take in certain portions of the outlying suburbs and to deduct the enumeration of tlie residents thereof from the township enumeration and add them to the city's population. Then $600 was appropriated with which to pay the enumerators for the exfra work required. When all this was arranged the secret session of the council adjourned and then the work proper began.

The enumerators stationed themselves at the court house and adviertised the fact that they would receive the names of every man or woman who had been missed.. The lists were all copied- and when any one put in an appearance he Was quickly looked up and if "not already on the'lisfc nis name was taken. The appropriation made by the council for the purpose of paying the enumerators was dished out in this way. For every name the enumerators got they were paid ten cents and- before the census closed 2,000 names were added to the original canvass. This run the census up to something over 27,000 but when the returns were sent in to Washington about 1,200 duplications were discovered and the population knocked down to 26,042. Even this was nearly 800 more than the city's actual population and had the duplications all been discovered the population would have been not more than 25,000 at the outside. One of the enumerators who helped in the work of "increasing" received $22 for his work, and the others were paid in proportion.

It develops that in the years 1882 and '83 the city went backwards instead of forward and there was a falling off in the population. In '84, however, tfiere was tute a boom and everybody thought hat the boom would greatly increase the population. But few people realized that the city had bade slid for two years and when the "boom" was over the gain had not done half as much as people expected. This will have much to do with holding down the population as will be shown by the census 01 '90. If the city has 34,000 residents at the present time it will have gained 9,000 in the past ten years, which is not such a slow rate considering too, that we lost instead of gaining for two years out of the ten and that the greater part of the increase has been made in the* last four yeara.

This morning in the Circuit court the argument as to the legality of the $350 liquor ordinance was opened by A. B. Felsenthal, one of the counsel for the plaintiff in the injunction suit of Frederick Fanat against Mayor Danaldson, City Attorney Stimson and City Marshal Thompson. In his presentation of the ease Mr. Felsenthal sought to show to the court that' the ordinance was ^"invalid because of the unreasonableness of its provisions that its very construction re it incapable of enforcement that its title was insufficient and its moaning ambiguous mat from it one- could not deter* mine whether the license fee which it provided for was to grant the saloon man the privilege of selling for one year, two years, three yeara or a month that according to it a man who should take out a court license to retail liquor would have to immediately supply himself with the city license, whether he was ready to begin business or not, or pay the penalty prescribed that there was nothing in the ordinance to show with any degree of clearness how much a man might be fined for violating it that it stated that he should be fined so much for each violation of it but that there was nothing definite about that that if he failed to take out the license he could be fined, but how often? what division of time would be taken into consideration in determining how often he should be fined? was it reasonable to fine him for every instant that be failed to take out the license? who was to judge in the premises?

Having marched' forth his array of technicalities against the ordinance as passed by the common council, Mr. Felsenthal briefly outlined the argument which he proposed to adduce in the effort to establish the unconstitutionality of the law as enacted by the legislature. His principal point against the act was that in the title thereto no specific reference to the measure which it.was intended to supersede, was made, and that the act to which it was an amendment was not set out and published in full—which is required by the Fourth section of the constitution. .,

With this the counsel for the plaintiff rested and City Attorney Stimson took up the side for the city. He maintained that the ordinance did say and unequivocally how long a time the$250 license entitled the liquor dealers to sell.-- He insisted that if the ordinance be considered as an entirety, and not clause by clause separately, it would be found to be complete and non-ambiguous. W.itPreference to the law heboid that in the title thereto was definite and unmistakable reference to the act which it superseded, and that, as to the requirement that an act or part of an act sought to be amended shall be set out and published in full, it had been decided by able jurists that the measure as amended included the measure as it was originally and that therefore the publication of the former amounted to the nublication of the latter.

When the arguments had been completed, Judge Mack refused to grant a dissolution of the temporary restraining order and set the final hearing for Jtily 3d. He expressed himself as of the opinion, hawever, that the ordinance and the law upon which it is based, are impregnable against the attacks of the liquor dealers' lawyers.

It was on June 25th, 1876, that Custer's little band gave up their lives and the anniversary is in a measure notable from tbe fact that a heaHstone marks the grave of each member of the gallant band. This work was commenced oversix months ago by Captain Owen J. Sweet, of the Twenty fifth infantry, and was completed about three weeks ago. While the task was in progress several bodies were discovered that had never been buried but they wore identified by the uniforms and papers found in tlie pockets. TffJ
