lira mm. put his foot in it when he said he was not opposed to the force bill because it would solidify the party in the Sooth. The opposition to the' bill should not be based on party interests. The question involved is one of principle, rather than of any political party. The bill should be considered on ground higher than mere party aggrandizement.
Therr is a unanimity of sentiment for a sewer on Main street. However, it is not wise to build only a portion of it and wait until funds accumulate with which to complete it. In the first place the plans and specifications prepared under the old council do not meet requirements. The sewer is not large enough. It will be necessary to' increase the size of the sswer. Another plan is suggested, the building of Jwosewers, one on Cheiry street and another on Ohio. It is claimed for this plan that it will not require the tearing up of the pavement whenever it is desired to tap the sewer.
Tits determination of the street car company to put in an electric system is hailed with delight by the public. The lines area valuable property aud can be made yield a larger revenue by improving the service and affording better accommodations to the public. Tub News has favored electricity, and it is pleased to announce that within a short space of time Terre Haute will have rapid transit. The city is rapidly becoming metropolitan, aud the Street Railway Company will demonstrate that it is not behind the times. Terre Haute is pushing forward rapidly. Its position and prospects are being appreciated. With such an idea prevailing and a unanimity of effort there is no reason why the Prairie City should not become one of the business centers of the West. Self appreciation, which has been lacking in the make op of the average Terre Hautean, has been awakened and will accomplish wonders. Keep yonr eye on Terre Haute, its present prosperity and future greatness.

TUB Democracy of this district is badly in need of an organ, one that is not the "personal organ of its editors and proprietors and of nobody else," one that will represent the principles of the party. Bince the startling announcement was made that Tax NEWS' blanket sheet contemporary was a personal organ, Democracy has been at sea, and an effort has been made on the part of the personal organ proprietors to gain the confidence of the party. The same old game is being worked, the confidence racket, whereby the paper may poee asa party organ and enjoy the patronage that may come to it. The party has worn the Gazette saddle in times past, has been ridden to death by the publication which prates about the woes of the laboring men and pays the lowest wages of any newspaper in a city the sixe of Torre Haute in the whole country. The millstone about the neck of the Democracy has weighed it down in the past and is still holding it to earth.

Sins Through the columns of your valuable papar I wish to ask a few questions, hoping that they will be answered. First, did Elder J. L. Brandt do any evil in preaching the gospel to the poor and middle class of our people, and receiving them into the church? Second, does the Christian church believe that the gospel must onlv be preached to the lich and that there will be aselect party of therieh only saved? If so, how will the arrangement be made and what part of Heaven will Christ and his poor disciples and poor followers occupy. He was born in a manger. Why is it please, Elder J. L. Brandt leaves the care of the church so suddenly? We want to know, the public wants to know. Some party or parties are responsible. The quicker we come to know that God is no respector of persons, rich or poor, high or low, bond or free that we live to die—and die to live, the quicker you will see Binnere converted and God glorified.

Complaint Agnlnat a Wretched Practice—Stop It at Once.
To ihe Editor of The Sews:
Sir: It is unpleasant to criticise any government, but the sanitary division of this city is woefully out of joint
It should be managed by a board of physicians and for the health of her citizens. It should not be so managed as to result in the financial benefit of any one or set. But, Mr. Editor, I am very much mistaken if midsummer is -not a very bad time for the active operation of the odorless machines. The day is warm or excessively hot, humanity suffers— and at night if they leave open a window for the admission of a little air, it is laden to its fullest capacity with tbe sound and stench of the odorless wagon upon the residence portion of our city.
Chestnut street from 8 x'clock p. m. to morning iB an above-ground sewer. The residents of that vicinity do not have rest night or day. Is there no other way for these wagons? Why could not their work be all completed between April 15th and May_ 15th of each year or earlier, when 1 offensive and dangerous to health?^ seems to the writer that a less objectionable time and means might be adopted. Certainly no doctor advises this time or manner.

HERE AND THERE.
Two young farmers of the variety Smart Aleck entered the elevator at the courthouse. John Dubre, the efficient rope puller of that slow moving conveyance, asked them what floor they wished to go to. "The top," was the answer. 't'
John hauled them to the first floor from the roof and opened the door of the elevator for them to go out. "Needn't open that for us," said one of the countrymen. "What," was John's reply, "didn't you wish to be taken to the fourth floor?" "Didn't I say the top?" rejoined the corn stalk "we want to go to the top." "I am sorry, gentlemen," answered the elevator man, "but this vehicle is so constructed that I am unable to carry you to the top of the tower. Get out."

Between Fifth and Sixth streets, on a sort of by-way just north of Locust, nestled away, as it were, from the turmoil of the city—is one of the most remarkable looking little cottages in the land. Architecturally speaking, it is a model of modern neatness, but therein does not exist its striking peculiarity. It is simply painted in the national colors— ml. white and blue. The veranda is so varigated that viewed from a short distance it absolutely appears to be draped and wound about with the patriotic emblem. Its sudden dawning on one's vision causes him to halt in surprise and involuntarily listen for the martial music, the cannonade of a glorious .Fourth of July. Suffice it is to say. that in Terre Haute there it not a more unique sight than is presented by that little cottage, hid away among the tree®.
James Mitchell, of the Northern rolling mill, is about aa apt at repartee and about as smooth a story teller as is commonly encountered in this neck o' the woods.

The African Wndfiab.
Africa ia the home of many extraordinary cmimals, but there is no moro remarkable creature than the mudfish, which inhabits ottrtiiin of the rivers of western Africa, and, as its name implies, it lurks At fche muddy bottoms of these rivers. At present, however, it i* not nocessary to go to Africa to see thfc fish, aa it can be mm
A visitor who knew nothing about the creature would probably go away with the impression that ho had. seen nothing out of the common. When tho fishes arrived each one was encased in ft ball of dry mud Hned with mucus from its body and perforated by a small aperture to admit of breathing. This "cocoon," as it is sometimes called, on account of Its analogy to the earthen case fabricated by many caterpillars in which to undergo their metamorphoses, on being placed ip warmish water svaa dissolved and the fish liberated,
The habit which the mudfish has of making an earthen chamber of the mud at the bottom of the river is a most wonderful provision of nature for the exigencies of the climate. The rivers which the fish inhabit are liable to periodical draughts. When such a draught is imminent tho fish retires to deep water and excavates a pit, in which it lies, covering itself over with a thick layer of mud. It can suffer with impunity the complete drying up of the river. But the most interesting fact about the creature is that during the time of its voluntary imprisonment it breathes air by means of lungs, just like a land animal, directly through an aperture left in the cocoon. When the returning rains dissolve the mud and liberate the fish it breathes by means of gills, just like any other fish, —Leisure Hour. 1
The Fatality in a Hymn.
Conductor J. W. -Stilwell said, while speaking of the Chattsworth disaster in which 800 people were killed or wounded, that his life was saved by the familiar hymn, "Nearer, my God, to Thee." As the train approached the fatal railroad culvert Mr. Stilwell was taking up tickets in a car in whiclh there were six-ty-two passengers of both sexes and all ages. In the car were five young ladies seated in close proximity to one another, and as the train swept forward in the ditrlrnflaa they sang the old hymn, which is one of the most plaintive and touching of Charles Wesley's productions. One beautiful young girl in the first blush of womanhood sang the verse of the hymn alone and her companions joined in the chorus. The hour was so appropriate for such music that every ear in the car was turned to catch the refrain, and the conductor stopped with his hand on the knob of the rear door of the car until the clear voiCeB of the" singers had completed the chorus. As the last words died away the crash came, and fifty-eight living beings in that car were hurled to eternity., Had he gone out he would have been crushed between the cars.—Denver News.
Ho Got His Price for the Book.
J. Fletcher Williams, librarian of the State Historical society, while in London recently called on a dealer in old books from whom the State society has been buying books occasionally for the past twenty years. Mr. Williams relates that the presiding genius of this particular place was a queer old piece of humanity, and illustrates it by the foUowing "incident: A gentleman in search of a rare old English black letter volume found it in the store referred to. He was much pleased at his discovery and asked the price. "Nine hundred dollars,* said the proprietor. "Nine hundred dollars!" exclaimed the would be purchaser of the volume "that is too high. Now I think this book"— But here the volume was snatchcd from his hands, and the proprietor threw it on the counter, exclaiming, "It'll be a thousand to-morrowl" And it is an actual fact that the book buyer, after a long and vain search, actually came back and paid a thousand dollars for the volume.—St. Paul Pioneer P"®*- 5 |p/i

A big, brawny, broad shouldered man was once walking calmly and peacefully on the street. He was walking calmly and peacefully because he was going about his honest business. He was absorbed in thought, "and for a time he was not conscious of the antics of a small dude who was doing some pantomime behind frfrn. After .awhile he became vaguely aware of another's presence, and felt, or imagined that he felt, a rap on his shoulder and a tug at his coattaft. Turning about he saw the lit* tie man, who for aome minutes had been exerting all the power of his flaccid muscles in an effort to produce death or great bodily harm upon the stalwart form of the serene pedestrian. "What in thunder are yon* doing?" asked the big man. «What am I doing?" repeated the little fellow furiously 'Ming it, Tm a-fightin'—that's what I'm a-doin\"— Nashville American.
