EDWARDS' MIN'STKKI.S
"Edwards' Minstrels," a troupe of Terre Haute amateurs, were greeted by a very slim audience, at the Opera House, on Saturday evening, and the few who were present were almost unanimous in the verdict that it was about the thinnest show they had seen since the Opera House opened. And yet, taking all things into con&idera tion, the performance was not so bad as It might have been. An amateur performance is always bad. The performers always seem ill at ease and out of place. If one of them should, by any chance, say or do a good thing, ho ruins it all by saying or doing something which i9 very flat and silly. The famous Billy Patterson, whose misfortunes have been published to the world lu poetry and song, appeared with the company in the first part, and sang a ballad, entitled "The Old Ark on the Sands," and sang .it very creditably, considering the fact that while he sang one tuuo, the violinist, cornetist and tho base viol player were each perform ing an original solo, in an entirely different key. The performance on the flying trapeze, by Mr. Wrtn Earley, was very ureditaole and would have passed muster in a respectable circus.
Andy Gallagher can dance a jig which few professionals can equal, but be insists that it is impossible to dance a lively jig while the orchestra is playing the dead march. £?Ned Blossom's sonc and essence were very good. jx'he orchestra was composed ot a violinist, a coronetist a double bass player and an organist.

'A I'ciTtOBwi Statement/' Taru of 0. J, Smith.
From YestaulayV) imprests. Ill the issue of the Express of 1 riday, Jau. 21st, in answer to an iufa^ oious ami uncalled for anonymous assault upon the editors ol' this newspaper made by Rev. E. Frank Howe in the Journal, I showed his disreputable connection with the authorship of the "Town Talk" articles in the Mail. In the Mai! of yesterday, eight iiavsafterwards*, he and Mr. Westfall
yffff. SZSLS* make a labored defense. Any thin
like a comprehensive answer required such lino balancing, and such nice quibbling and equivocation that I am not astonished at the Jength of time consumed by them in building a reply. If the Mail had had a plain honest (null to utter it could have given place to it a week before, havs ihg then a day and a half for preparation.
The summing up of the defense of this conspiracy of quibblers, is this: Tbat-Mr. Howe did not write all of "Town Talk," that he never denied being "Town Talk'"' when he was writing that department, and that lie never denied the authorship of a»3' particular article that lie bad written. Mr. Westfall says that lie sometimes "evaded" questions. Mr W. also explains that when Mr. H. was not writing "Town Talk," that is, in any week when some one else had written the article, Mr. H. could conscientiously answer "No," to the question "Are you 'Town Talk?" Now I assert that during the first two years of Mr. VV.'sconnection with the Mail the origionol part of "Town Talk" was written by two persons, Mr. Howe being one and doing almost all of the work when here. say ..he original part, for I may here remark that a series of articles written by George
William Curtis for Harper's Bazar many years ago, under the titie 6f "Manners on the Road" was palmed off on an inncoent public by the god ly and righteous Mail in "Town Talk" as original, during the absence of Mr. Howe on summer tour in 1872. I am under tho impression that Mr. Curtis is tho gentleman referred to by Mr. Westfall as the "one writer alw-ays ready to fill the breach," made by the failure of others and I can more readily believe this since Mr. W. assures the public, with great solemnity and with a climax of capitals, that the "beach has been filled by this one writer for long periods of time—and THIS WRITER WAS NOT MR. HOWE."
Mr. Westfall, in his statement, which I have before me, tells how he and Mr. Howe sot about to reform the Express when they found that it had gone astray. submit that he should pluck this beam of literary theft from his own eye before he goes searching for tho motes in mine.
But I have diverged a little. I sav that the original partof "Town Talk" was written for two years by .two pp.i'jnna, Afv. Uoti tlOlllg llJO pilllClpal work. For him to deny the authorship because an article had been written by some one else, or stolen from some one else, was to utter as great an equivocation as if I should deny being the editor of the Express if I were off duty for a day, or on the ground that I do not write ail the articles that appear in this paper. Upon making such denials he unquesi tionabiy left the impression upon the mind ofeach questioner that he (H.) did not write any of tho ^'Town Talk" articles, and was not any way chargeable with their authorship. Hucli a result may have been satisfactory to a professor of morals and teacher of religion, but would not have contented an average man.
If Mr. Howe has any real sense of moral responsibility he must have felt after such an interview that he had done an unmanly tiling. The result of his answers was to wholly deceive liis friends.
Mr. Howe intimates that I have violated some confidence in disclosing his journalist "crookedness" in Terre Haute. Such is not the case. I knew the authorship of the articles by certain infalible. ear marks before Mr. Westfall, Mr. Howe or any other person had made a tiy,ad missions to me about them. I would not have accepted any confidence in the matter, for I disapproved of the whele buisnefrS. I kept r. Howe's secret, however, because I had kindly feelings for him and did not want to hurt him. Then he was always saying that he was going to quit writing the objectionable articles, and in those days 1 had soma faith in his word. He has half described in these word* an interview with me: "I never asked O. J. Smith, Or anybody else, not to 'expose' me, or felt or expressed any gratitude to bim, or anybody el-.e, for not 'exposing' me. At one time, when O. J. Smith became very angry with me for writing editorial articles in the Mai! criticising his peculiar notions and teaching, and his treatment of the churches and religious people, and for defending the Mail against attachs made upon it by the Express in the absencetOf Mr. Westfall, he threatened to attack me in reference to the T. T. column, with which I had for some time had no connection whatever, and to accuse me publicly of falshood, and I did, foolishly as I now see, ask him not to make his attack on Sunday, as I was then taking the. Express and should necessarily see the attack, and it might disturb me in the duties of the day, I think tbat at the same time I did ask him to defer action until Mr. Westfall should return. I do not recollect that I felt or expressed any gratitude for bis compliance with these requests."
I will give my recollections of that interview. In the absence of Mr. Westfall in the east, in May, 1874, Mr. Howe had charge of the Mail and opened all its mud batteries on the Express. That sort of thing had grown old, and I gave formal notice that upon Mr. W.'s return I would expose the anonymous slanderer, whese articles had given the Mail such notoriety. I am not sure but that the deo mon llevenge lurked in my heart. Being only an ordinary heathen, and in no sense a special mouth-piece of God, I sometimes gave way to natur
was on Sunday that the devil got the better of me, and made rqe threaten tho Mail "and its sneak-correspon-dent. The following day if I remem--ber correctly, Mr. Howe appeared in my office. I do not remember to have seen such an unhappy-looking man since I saw Morgan waiting to be hung. He had called, he said, to ask me not to bring the exposure out until after Sunday, if he had to come as lie feared its appearance thi latter part of the I week would (Jistuab him in hi.3 Sunday ministratonis. He said that I WHS mistaken in my judgement of the .severity of the articles that he bad written against the
Express and he asked me to go over them with him and see what a soft interpretation he could put upon them but I was still obdurate and hard of heart. (I am a little astonished to see by his last article that he "never wrote any sharper criticisms" than tho-so articles about the Express) Ho said tbat he could stand the exposure and that he had no doubt if would make him a better ni.'ui did not wish he had come„ also that tie had resolved never to write another line for "Town Talk." I give Mr. Howe full credit for his words uttered then, that he dii not come to "beg oft," but I will add that his whole manner and speech told a different story. At least I was so moved bv him that I could not get
i.
im
ray own'consent to make the exposure instead of which I published the following paragraph in The Express: "The Express promised its readers, a few days ago, that it would, at a given time, pay Its respect* to the writer of'Town Talk' iu the Mail. The Express has changed its mind, will not do anything of thesort. This paper will not, without other provocation,do that which would probably mar the usefulness of a somewhat prominent citizen, trusting that his slanderous propensities may be held in better control hereafter."
Notwithstanding Mr. Howe's present disclaimer, I still do him the credit to say that I believe ho was grateful to me for not exposing him then. I promised myself at the time, however, that it I ever found the shafts of that skulking foe pointing my way again I should expose him to this peoplp, and I have kept that promise. More than a year and a half afterwards be did a little revengeful work in the shape of the anonymous paragraph in tho Journal which has led to these develop* ments. Of course he did not intend that I should know who gave me that stab in the dark. The Journal spent days and whole columns blubbering over its creat blunder in giv ing up Mr, Howe for sacrifice, I can understand his grinning glee when he read hia communication in the Journal, and thought of the injury tbat he could safely and without responsibility iufiict on thfi Express. I can imagine, too, how that was turned to affliction when ho was found out.
In this connection I desire to say that I am told an erroneous impression exists in the minds of some concerning the manner in which the Express discovered Mr. Howe'sauthorshipof the Journal communication, caused by the Journal's muddy statement about the same. Mr. Earle, of The Express, asked Mr. Green, of the Journal, who wrote the article, and Mr. O, gave him the name. Some hours afterwards Mr. G. asked Mr. F. not to make U3e in tho Exprcsd of »•»»••«»o.4Son. Tl'Ci'O l,er^ son whom Mr. Earle or myself would more gladly accommodate than Mr. Green, but this was a case in which we could not do so. I am sure that if be had known ail the circumstances he would have deemed his request as unreasonable as if, having told us of an assassin who had struck at us in the dark, lie had afterwards asked us to make no use of the information.
Mr. Wrs'.Ml seeks to make some defense of "Town Talk." It i3 useless for me to discuss that question. The verdict of this community is made up tiia^jhe sensational articles in that depattmont were, almost without exception, vicious and cowardly. I think that the GAZETTE once did lull justice to them in a paragraph printed at the time of the threatened exposure by the Express.
Heiv follows an extract from the GAZETTE which it is not necessary to republish. (Ed. GAZETTE.)
Now I come to the question of pure veracity. Mr. Howe says* "Yet I deem it proper for me to say, once for all, that I never denied he authorship of any article which I ever wrote, whether in tho T. T. column of the Mail, or in any col
umn
of that paper, or any other paper." In response I charge that Mr. II. wrote the article attacking Dr. Read in "Town Talk" (the first of ihe series, I believe.) I do not overstep the bounds when I say that this was the worst personal article that ever appeared in a Terre Haute newspaper. I chargej.al.so, that Mr. Howe solemnly, and with uplifted hand, denied the authorehip of that particular article. The gentleman upon whose evidence I am prepared to substantiate this fact, prefers not to be brought into this controversy, but he will not fail to speak to maintain the truth if Mr. H. asks for the testimony. Mr. H. need not wait for a week or a day to ask this witness to speak. A line to this office, or to any of the city papers, will unseal his
IlJI'
have finished an unpleasant task, I do not preieud that I have had any great moral object in view in this exposure. I have felt it to be right to turn upon-a man who has followed me in mean and spiteful ways for years. I have shown to this community tho true character of a man whom it has trusted and honored. Mr. Howe has a weakness, that amounts almost to madness, for writing people down annonymouslv. If this exposure should cure him of that mania it will have done him a great
good'

It was at first proposed to rednco tho rato to tlireolonrtbs of tho present tare, but tho crowned heads in railroad circles are now talking of bringing It down to one half. The GAZETTE predicts that before the time comes on it will bo lowered still more, and will touch as far down in the scale as §10 or at most £13 for the round trip.

OFFICIAL TIME TALILK. From the Iudianai olts Journal. The National Railway Publication Company, of Philadelphia, have just issued a' new monthly publication, known as the"Oliicial Time Tables. "It is of compact form and convenient size and will prove of advantage to all travelers. It contains in addition to the usual time tables, etc., a description of all towns of over 4,000 inhabitants, naming the railroads, hotels and business ioteroats of each. Like all other publications of this class, however, it greatly understates tho population of Indianapolis, placing it at 70,00 instead of 100,000. It is sold for 25 can tn.
Tho Slate Journal is not up to its usual promtness in announcing that Mr. Collett has been appointed receiver of tho C. fc T. H. Ry.
In general railroad news there is not much to report. The Indianapolis Journal nays that receiver Eads, of tho Paris fc Danville road, has gone East to purchase two new locomotives for the line. This road sincettlio appointment of Mr. Eads as receiver, has proved one of tho best paying short roads in the West, and Mr. Eads, in addition to payiug all current expenses, has bften able to make monthly payments on the back indebtedness of the road. miAiinn «i ipieieu it to Vincennes, making a short road to Cairo and tho South.
The Indianapolis Journal of this morning publishes a comparative table ofj tho freight business on the various roads passing through there during the 2 weeks ending Saturday. For the two weeks ending Jan. 22, the Vandalia received and forwarded 2037 cars for the week ending Jan. 29, 1791 cars. For tho lirefc period there were on the I. A St. L* 1789 carr:, and for the second 1330.
The number of loaded cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis was as follows: Roceivedf'4,166 forwarded. 3,111 total, 6,277. Decrease over preceding week, 7.712.
STRVEN MORRISON.
A serious affair happened on the Vandalia line a day or two since, affecting the reputation of the conductor, Steve Morrison, and causing, so we understand, his removal. It happened in this wise:
A man named John Blaudon, a Scotchman, wished to leave St-. Louis and return to his native count try, and accordingly bought tickets for himself, his three children and step brother, via the Chicago & Alton road, to Glasgow. Through mistake he got on the Vandalia train. When Mr. Morisson discovered that the man was wrong, he, according to the Globe-Dauiocraf/'Btopped the train which was then about Jive miles from town, and put them off, although it is stated tbat Mr. Blandou implored him to allow them to go to the next station instead of being put off the train in a strange country on a dark and lonely, night with three small children to take care of. But the conductor refused to do this, telling Blandon hat ho had time enough to catch the Chicago train if he walked fast enough. Having no other alternative, Mr. Blandon started back to East St. Louis, carrying his little daughter, while his brother attended to the two boys and followed on behind. After walking nearly two miles along the dark and dismal railroad track, Blandon suddenly stepped into a cattle guard, and fell through, but strange to say his daughter escaped injury. Blandon was so severely injured internally that for some time he lay insensiblo.

A Quarter Srction of Land in Kansas for Fire Dollar.'. An opportunity has at last been presented that many of our citizens will greedily avail themsolves, ospeciajly those who have east lingering eyes on the beautiful and fertile prairies ol Kansas. The Kansas Land and Immierant Association, a corporation of prominent citizens, with a view to encourage immigration to Kansas, have conceived tho idea of making a grand real estate distribution, and to tbat end have bound themselves to fairly and honorably distribute a largo annunt of real estate among the sbaroholders. This real e?tate includes six hundred KanscB farms, a?7 »,000 residence,a §30,000 commercial block that rents for ?•!,- 000 per year, and ten handsome brick residences at Atchison.
These larms are located in the most fertile portions of Kansas, many of them being in the celebrated Blue and Arkansas valleys, and others in the valleys of the Republican and Solomon, and any of which will make an independent home for any industrious man.
It is the grandest opportunity ever offered to secure a home in the Great West. Read the details of tho advertisement found in another column.
