Tna Nbws wishing to be accurate, feels in justice bound to correct the statement that Representative Oockreil of the Illinois legislature won on a pair of deuces against four acea. He beat a full hand as they call it, with a pair of deuces. It is well to be accurate even in small mat ten and details where a senatorial election is involved. Oockreil is said to have puAed in several $500 bets without even two alike just previous to the day on which 1m voted for Palmer.

WHAT THE COUNCIL SHOULD pO. Now that the contest of the people against disfranchisement and gag rale is at hand, and an nnjust law is forced upon the city against the will of an overwhelm' ing majority of the tax-payers, this contest should be met with all legal powers that can be command to throw off the iniquitous system which robe the people of their right to a voice in the government of their own affairs. They are taxed without representation or voice. They pay the taxes which supports the city government but they are as much slaves to the powers that now obtain under the metropolitan law, as were those of the colored race in the days of bondage. In order that the constitutionality of the law be thoroughly and quickly teeted, Thb Nbws demands that the city council shall take immediate steps to procure legal aid for the city attorney. The council will meet to-morrow night and it will not do its duty to the people of Terre Haute unless it at once takes steps authorizing the employment of legal help. The opposition will secure the best talent it can find to defend their position The city attorney should not be expected to make the fight alone, nor must this be importance of the situation and give iEe city attorney the assistance of a strong legal firm, Gentlemen, will you do your duty in behalf of the people?

WHO THEY AR*.

The time has fully come for expoeing the action of a few republicans and at least one newspaper of this city, with reference to the part they have played in securing the passage of the metropolitan police law which robs the people of home rule and a voice in the government of Terre Haute, it was long since arranged between Mr. J. D. Early, G. W. Faris, F. O. Danaldson and the Terre Haute Express on the republican side, and John Lamb and a few other democrats, and the saloon men on tho other side, that a metropolitan police law should be enacted for this city. Mr. Early, republican, one of the present police commissioners, was an active lobbyist at Indianapolis to secure the passage of the bill and Tns Nbws is informed that his expenses were paid, as were those of all republican lobbyists by the saloons. It understood long since between the republicans sad the Express, on one side, and the democrats who favored the bill on the other side, that J. D. Early to be the republican commissioner in the event that the infamous bill became a law. The Express was a party to the iniquitous schetns and we are informed on undoubted authority favored the passage of the law. It was on the inside of the whole conspiracy to strike down home rale, bnt st the same time tried to deceive the public into the belief that it wss sgainst

concert with "Early, Danaldson, Faris, the saloon keeper and the democrats. Ita pretended opposition to the metropolitan law is apiece of deep duplicity, a sham and a fraud.

"Without raising the. question of the constitutionality of the metropolitan polioo mo«eurc, recently enacted," remarked an old fifth ward citizen last night: "I suppose, for a time at least, we will have to endure it, be it right or wrong, and I for one sincerely hope we may be able to note a decided improvement in police work in this city over what we pave had to endure for months past. Crimes have beep frequently committed while detections of criminals have been unfortunately infrequent Such a condition of things cannot be otherwise than productive of the worse possible results.

Said a well-known Terre Hautean recently: "Do you know that in the front window of the Dickhout trunk establishment on Main street there has been long suspended a magnificent specimen of antlers of the American red deer. Well, sir, there is a relic for your beard. Those horns once decorated the wheelhouse of the ill-fated Natehes, that remarkable Mississippi river steamboat which exploded or burned or something several years ago in a desperate race. The ant-

were removed before that disaster, however, and found their way into the possession of an Evansville gentleman form whom they were purchased by one of the Evansville fire companies and were subsequently presented to V. G. Dickhout when at the time chiof of the Terre Haute fire department,"

Mr. Kulpeppor, an epicurean smoker, was traveling' on a railway with a paa» longer from Berlin who was smoking a horrid cigar. As all hints and signs nrowad unavailing Mr—Knlnttfinar Rising from his seat, he politely said: "Will you allow me to open the window?'

At the same time he "quite accidentally" brushed against the hand of his fellow-passenger, causing him to drop his cigar. Mr. Kulpepper had the additional misfortune to step on it and said, in alarm "Oh! I beg a thousand pardons. Allow me to offer you one of tnine. They are not half bad." "With your kind permission," answered the Berliner, quite pleased. He took three cigars out of the case presented to him and put them into his pocket, Baying: "These are a first-rate brand. I'll smoke 'em on Sundays."

And with that he proceeded to light another one of his own.—Neueste JNach richten.

"How many cards did you say?" said Postmaster Sh&ttuck as a gentleman asked him for some poetal pasteboards, yesterday. "Give me three," said the inquirer, as he hastily looked at his hand.

Another gentleman just behind, who was waiting, here "chipped in" with the remark that he "would take five." The number was promptly shuffled out to him.

Then as the gentlemen stood there looking at each other, a funny thought seemed to stike them simultaneously, and they smiled, bunched their hands, and quietly separated. —Titusrllle Her-

Where more than one dog is kept on a place, as is the ease with dog fanciers, the kennels are usually almost as big aa a small barn.
