A CORRESPONDENT writes to the GAZITTE to know if it is considered the proper tiling to throw boqueto to-young ladies appearing on the stage in a concert. ihe GAZETTE acknowledges the toeeipt of the communication and takes pleasure'in informing its correspondent) —evidently a young man of means, and •ho mean* business— that it is not only perfectly proper, but is considered a very pretty thing to do.

OUR esteemed contemporary,the New Albany Ledger-Standard, is mistaken when it says: "Terre Haute haa passed a goose ordinance forbidding them in the streets, alleys, or allowing them to be hat bored in the city at all." There is perfect political liberty in Terre Haute and the Fiatics have been permitted to hold meeting* just the same as the old parties., If, however, there is a repetition

of their last picnic, which was a stench in the nostrils of the whole community, (he people may, in the interest of decency and morality, lie compelled to consider, the difference between liberty and license.

Iv anyone can read the reports wh icn come over the wires from the south, of the death and desolation in that lovely land, and not have a heart full of sympathy for them, he must be more or less than human. People, brothers and sisters of the same Republic, made in the image of the same God, whom we all worship, are dying by the hundreds. Many are in want of the common necessaries of life. Sick people are suffering 'without proper medical attendance. Men and women, and children, are dying without ministering hands to pay the last sad offices preparatory to sepulture. It is a picture of desolation and woe, defying descriping. Our bounty should be as bound* less as the measureless tuffering which is intended to alleviate. The time for action is the present. The way to act is to buy tickets for the concert to-Jiight.

A CORRECTION. W-}»

In (he GAZETTE of Friday last,' appeared the following editorial paragraph: Frank Ross, of Terre Ilaute. a gentleman of culture, formerly a Republican, but now a red-hot Greenbacker, complimented the Era office with a call on yesterday. Mr. ROBS thorouKhly understands the National principles.—| Danville Era (Fiatic).

This can hardly be said to be an accession of much present value, since by i$8o or 1882, when he will cast his first vote, the flat party will have turned up it« tender little toes to the daisies with the epitaph upon its tomb: "Gone to meet Confederate Scrip."

In this article the GAZETTE uninten tionally wronged a young fnan of character, ability awd sound views. The fault was not ours, hut was due to a misprint of the Danville Era. Mr. Frank Ross re pels with just Indignation, the false ac cusation that he is a Fiatic. He is not The Danville Era meant his father. i!

L. A. BURNETT. Jc

It affords the GAZETTE great pleasure to chronicle the reinstatement in business ot Mr, L. A. Burnett, one of Terre. Haute*s oldest and best citizens. Several months ago he was compelled to succumb to a variety of unfortunate circumstances, which no sagacity could have foreseen r.f^or provided ,, against. His creditors'.'.: paid a high compliment toT' his sterling integrity, anid gave a valuable -testimonial to their unimpared confidence in him by the "way in which thejr arranged for theitettlement. An assignee was appointed to take charge of his leather store, but his services were retained and he virtually managed affairs as before. A settlement was agreed upon, and it was generally expected bv the creditors that time would be required for them to get their money. But such was the confidence in him that Mr. B. was able to go into bank and on his name raise money, and he has now p^id every cent Qf.his obligations as arranged by trie settlement. He is again in full possession of his store, its valuable trade and a good will second to that of no other establishment in the city.

It is a matter of general congratulation to have an old and respected merchant come out of his difficulties so creditably after having weathered. t,he storm so well.

COL. THOMAS H. NELSON'S SPEECH. Considerable space is surrendered in

OTE TERKE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

to-day's GAZETTE to the speech of Col. Thomas H. Nelson, delivered from the Republican stand,£his city, last night Naturally, the G-Azstcc.being a Demo* cratic paper and the gallant Colonel a radical among Republicans, there is little in his speech which we can approve or endorse. But the Colonel is one of Terre Haute's greatest and most eloquent citizens and when he talks the multitude wishes to hear, for there is no subject upon which he speaks that he does not adorn, no topic on which he touches that he does not illuminate with the calcium light) of his fervid and graceful fancy.

Besides, the GAZETTE is disposed to be generous. It has no disposition to take unfair advantage of the Republicans who are unfortunately without any means of communicating with the general public. The Democratic party ot Vigo county, and the GAZETTE, which is its voice, are willing, nay more, anxious to have Democratic truth gfapp'le with Republican error in open field and on equal terms. In no such contest was the truth ever defeated.

More than this, the Democracy want the Republicans to "brace iip," to the end that the fight may be at least interesting. *4A walk over" lacks excitement. iit j:

That our sincerity in this fifi'attef* may not be doubted, the GAZETTE will fur nish the Republican County Central Committee this speech in supplement form ^it a low rate. It can be distributed by them through the mails, or the Township Committeemen, or as a supplement in several of their papers. The speech is what might be called a "masterly effort." No better Republican speech will be delivered here or in the State this campaign, for the reason that no other man in the party can deliver abetter pne than Terre Haute's gifted son. I

THE LABOR PROBLEM. From day to day, in each issue the GAZETTE has republished from different New York papers, very full and accurate reports of the proceedings of the Congressional Committee, now in session at New York, and engaged in examining all kinds of characters and witnesses who have anything to say in reference to the industrial depression. Our only care has been to select that report Which has been most complete and accurate. These reports are three days old, to be sure, but their superiority to the telegraphic summary which we do not publish, coupled with the real importance of the evidence adduced, more than justifies the plan we have adopted and mean to pursue in reference to them. Taken all together, these reports constitute the. most valuable- contribution made this year to the problems of labor and bubiness, and the laws regulating them. No one really desirin^ to be informed on these subjects can afford to miss reading Single lone, fnif'f not.oh fft.

It is an especial source of pride to' the GAZETTE that it has had the wisdom to forsee their importance, and the facilities for laying them before its readers in a better shape than any one of the New York papers, upon all of which it browsed, selecting each day that which was the very best.' I:fit ,li« r.l bi &

At the first the committee had before it a choice collection of hdodlumt and wild-eyed reformers, with all varieties of remedies for real and fanclcd ills. No known species of fanatic was wanting in this fantastic group. There were Socialists, Fiatics and Communists fellow* that wanted^,,all s,„ property held in common others that thought Government should regulate^|and and control everything still, others that wanted labor-saving machinery destroyed, the hours of labor diminished, the ac-. cumulation Of property prevented, inter* est abolished, everybody aided by Government and nobody taxed, and, wildest and most chimerica. of all, fanciful fellows who said the overeign remedy for all possible ills, was' or the Government to print rectangular pieces of green paper with the legend on them "This is a dollar," and so keep on creating wealth in that way, until everybody was prosperous and happy: They listened to interminable yarns of this kind from innumerable wind instruments who, because they had succeeded in gaining applause from crowds of per sons as ignorant and less noisy than themselves, imagined they were able to conduct .the. affairs of the universe AH the committee did was to pursue the Socratic method of asking, questions, thereby tangling these mushroon philosophers from back alleys in the webs of their own caving.

Latterly they ha^6 beSn examining a different class of witnesses. For the past few days they have had before them men of business, manufacturers, professional men, and mechanics of character and ability. As the former testimony was negative, pointing .: out all sorts of schemes to be vigilantly avoided, this latter evidence has been positive, showing some things that may with safety be adopted. The character of the witness is especially evident in this: Whereas the first lot were sweeping in their condemnations, laying alj ills, real and imaginary, at the feet of the Government, and were absolutely con* fident that this and that piece of legisla

tion, often antagonistic and nearly always very foolish, would remedy everything, the latter are modest and self distrustful, and propose such plain and disagreeable remedies as economy, hard work, living within incomes, and sobriety,' Nor do they say that even these remedies will £make everybody rich, give everybody employment and make prosperity uni/ersal.

It will do everybody good to read the testimony we print to-day. One witness js a hard-headed proprietor of a boot and shoe' manufactory in Massachusetts. He was born with-a wooden spoon, and a broken one at that. He was apprenticed to a boot maker, and worked his term at the bench. He worked har J, and made a practice of saving a part of his earnings. After a while, as might have been expected, he had some capital. He invested in the trade he had learned so thoroughly. He tells all this and utters some sound views on the present condition of trade, which we wish everybody ia this section couldj and would read.

The GAZETTE has at least done its duty by its subscribers in this matter. It prints what be and others said. It must res^ with the people whether or not they wil avail themselves of the privilege accorded

TEMPERANCE PRIZE.

To tbe Editor of the GAZTTTJC: The prize flag lor the largest temper ance society at the temperance convention at Indianapolis, Aug. 2Sth, 1878, was given to the society of St. Mary's, Indiana. 1 -It was to.be given to the largest Society from any place, in proportion to the size of the congregation in which it was formed. The society from St. ary'a was ^the largest from -'any place

1 1

of any size. This society, also, hadf tKe' .tallest and as all the ladies Say, the best looking men, who Were not Excelled in symmetry and form, but they were not in uniform, as were the Knights of Father Matthew, from Terre Haute. So that if the knights presented a finer appearance in Indianapolis it was on account of their equipage and if they think thfi St.' Mary's society could not hold a candle for them, it is because the society at St. Mary's has comethe prize banner society of the United States, and therefore "couldn't" become a candlestick for the "Knights." Everybody Can easily see that the flag was fairly and justly awarded} and no doubt the "Knights" could'also see it if some one could only "hold a candle" foY them. We pray that the "Knights" may have light. VICTORY

WAR PRICES.

This is what everybody wants—the farmer of his wealth, the mechanic for his 6kill, the manual laborer for h(s work, the real estate owner for his ^property, the merchant for his good? the hotel' keeper for his fare,—and the inability to pbtain these prices is the cause of all this grumbling about ,the hard times, and agitation of the labor question. They can not see, or.will net,realize the fact, that all these prices have come down in keeping with the rise in the value ot money. It is something they will not understand that a dollar now is worth nearly as much as two or three dollars in war times, and yet the prices have not fallen in proportion to the increased purchasing power of the current money of ihc country. A full comprehension of this fact, we*think, will not fail to satisfy all that their complaints of the hard times axe not justified by the actual condition of. things, and have a tendency to make us all more contented and satisfied with the present state of affairs. We would not then seek for an increase of paper money, irredeemable, and whjch must rapidly deftre* ciate until prices of all property ana all commodities would be forced up again to the war standard without a corresponding increase in wages or in the price of frrm products. Inflation cannot possibly help the poor man, though it may the speculator or bondholder, who will have the means to take advantage of the rise and save himself as he always dees when tlie collapse again comes.—[ State.

NATURE haa provided a most potent specific for diseases of the skin, rheumatism and gout, viz: Sulphur. That admirable remedial agent is made available at an indefinitely less cost than formerly, in consequence of the introduction of GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP. Sulphur. Baths are expensive, so are visits to Sulphur Springs, but at a cost of sixty cents, the price of the above article per box, containing three cakes, precisely the same curative-results can be affected as Sulphur bathing accomplishes. GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP likewise heals bruises, sores, and all abrasions. of the skijh, whitens and softens as well as purifies it The ladies prefer i* to any cosmetic, not only because it is a more effective complexional beautifier, but also because it is eminently conducive to health, whieh cosmetics are not. It it a capital disinfectant of clothing contaminated with disease, and its timely use prevents maladies communicable by contact. It is far preferable to any salve or ointment for the cure of afiectious of the skin, being infinitely more effective and cleanly.

STANDARD* EXCELLENCE:. The place that Dr. Price's Flavoring Extracts have won in public estimation, sustains us in the assertion.that for standard excellence they have no 'equal. Every housewife who has had occasion use Dr. Price's Special Favoring Extracts, will endorse the above statement.

"Suppose you were out in a jungle somewhere," said Strobel to Biilikins, while walking through the Zoo, "and t.hould see a tiger come charging down upon you, with fur up and mouth open, what should be your first thought?" "Well, I rather think," replied Mr. B., "that for about two seconds I'd conclude that Martliy Ann's mother had just got back from camp meeting. It would be a comfort though when I found out I'd been mistaken about it."

The Facts and Figures en the Financial Situation.

An Eloquent Speech.

[Prom Wednesday's Daily.] LADIES AND GENT-LEMSJr AND FBL LOW CITIZENS—In coming before you to-night as a candidate for Congress, It will be expected ot me that I discuss the questions that aie at issue in this canvass. But first, let me say, fellow citi zensthatlam not a professed pubic speaker. In my opinion, as in the opinion of General Hunter, my opponent the money question is the great question at issue. I think it the principal question, and why Because Wherever you go you hear ail classes of persons enquire "When will the crisis be over? When will this financial embarassment be at an end?"

I think the first error was made when greenbacks were issued by not makin: them full legal tender for'all debts bol! public and private, and by making the interest on the five-twenty bonds payable in coin. There was it is ture a great exigency, demanding this, but the government should not have acceded to the demand of capitalist for coin interest.

The soldier went into the war fiom patriotic, motives and was paid in greenbacks but the capitalist acted only from selfish, motives. According to Senator Morton the kovernment lost $603,000,000 by is suing these bonds if they were to be paid in coin.

Secretary Boutwell's report, at the close of the war, showed that there were $1,100,000,000 of currency in circulation, excluding the seven-thirty bonds, and adding these bonds, we had in. circulation $1,900,000,000 of currency. It was on this amount of currency, that the business of the country was based, at the close of the war, McCullOugh contracted the currency $392,000,000, and supplying the southern states caused more contrac tion, and the increase Of population necessarily caused still more. And here is the point I Wish to make: Men went into business with the understanding that thisahould be the volumn of currency. The manufacturer went on this basis and as this contraction necessarily reduced the value of labor, hands were thrown out of employment. And from this came all |our tramps. These men we rev honest' laboring men, but they were thrown out of employ ment and, I say, it is unfortunate that scoundrels hiave taken advantage ofthem.

In 1S69 the denland was made by capitalists that $150,000,00* worth of bonds should be paid in coin. Senator Morton said that by passing this bit! they would be doing foul injustice to the people. Secretary Sherman said that if the bondholder demanded more money than he had paid foi his bonds, he would be doing wrong. But this bill was passed contraction went On, and in 18^3 the bill demonetizing silver, was passed, clandestinely. This bill was passed in the interest of the capitalists. They had already the bonds payable in coin, but now, silver being demonetized, they had them payable in gold. One year and a half afterwards they passed the resumption act. Not a single Democrat voted for this

act.

$14,000,000,

It was a Republican

act in the interests of capitalists. And yet, when we denounce this, and all the great mistakes they have made they say, "Do not agitate this ouestion. ,Th:s agitation may do us hurt. No, gentlemen neither did Jeff. Davis want the question of the right of secession agitated. [Applause.} In all this series of bills passed in toe interest of capitalists there h?s not been one single bill passed in the interest of labor. Gen. Hunter voted for the resumption act, knowing that it would bring us to a gold basis. The contraction ot currency going on in this manner, fellow citizens, has reduced the value of your property one half. If we had not had relief, the value of our property would be to-day one-halt its present value. Gen. Hunter says! in 1879, the ist of January, we will hav plenty of curreiicy. Then, why not put all the currency into circulation now?

Mr. Hunter has been elected to congress three times from this district and two from our old district. He has served about eight year6 in congress. He claims that he can represent your interests in congress better than any new mtmber. To prove it he 6ay», "if you want to get a horse shod you go to a person who has learned the trade, you go to a professional blacksmith." (I suppose he means me. Laughter.] He claims to have learned his trade, and what is his trade A professional politician. [Applause.] What does he say about national banks? He says that national b^nk notes are taxed'and that greenbacks are not, and that for this reason national bank notes are "the cheaper. But why can we not tax greenbacks Becausc congress sari when'it passed the bill issuing them that they coold not "be taxed. Thus General Hunter tries to throw discredit upon the greenbacks, the peoples money. -Gentlemen jou receive no tax from national banks that you do not receive from private banks, except on the circulation. In fourteen years the .national banks have paid on their deposit $5,365,000, and the private luuks have paid over $9,000,000. Thus paying nearly n.ce as much on half the depot.it. Mr. Hunter says that if you destroy the national banks you will cause desolation and ruin, because the people owe these banks one thousand millions of dollars. Yes, gentlemen, but will the condition of the people be any worse if these banks be destroyed? General Hunter says you can not issue greenbacks in time of peace, and yet he voted to reissue these bills at a time whan there was no war. The con* stitution provides for the public welfare, and if we want to issue more greenbacks, it the wellfaje of the country demands it, we can issue more greenbacks. Tbe national backs have cost you $315,000,000 and the greenbacks but

ing the decision of Bradley, in which hehe says, '."anxigency maV come when, you can issue greenback." The speaker continued saving. This is the decision of Bradley, Every speecht Hunter has made has-been in the mteresofthe National bonds and agai ntt the people. He should have been your representative instead of the representative of the National banks. (Great applaus). Remember gentlemen I make no personal attack on General Huntei I make no war on the national bankers or on the bondholders, I make war on the law that creates national banks and these bonds.

The speaker quoted from the speech of Mr. Hunter, made on the aoth of May, in which he says that the national bank money is the cheapest that it is the most profitable money to the people that if the money to be loaned should get in the national banks the people eould get all they want at six percent iaterest. "This," said the speaker, "would be a monopoly." Hunter sees a small amount of money not under the controlle of the national banks and wants to get all under their controlle. He advocates this six per cent, law, perhaps In the interest of his party,, and tries to show that it is in your interest. Why, gentlemen when the banks would get all the money they would demand more interest, and we would have to give it. Hunter says, for five years he was solitary and alone on the floor of the House advocating smalk interests. But in all this time he made not a single convert. Just think of it, gentlemen, five years and not making a. one convert. At this rate now many centuries would it take this Congressman to do any Mod? [Great applause, and laughter.J Why, gentlemen, I used to be a blacksmith, and I never pounded five minutes on apiece of iron without doing some good. [Laughter.] General* Hunter tries to show you that you have been extravagant Yes, wearing the patched clothing w« do is being extravagant, is it not? He would have you come down to bread and water, as is advocated by Beecher. [Laughter. Some say if the Democrats get control of the country, they will pay the Rebel debt. No, gentlemen, we have enough tax to pay. The constitution forbidsthis payment. The record of the Democratic House shows that the Democrats do not intend to pay this debt. They are afraid we will put Rebels, in power. Yet, gentlemen, the only sons I had were in the Union army.. One of them died just last spring from the effects of disease contracted in the army. Longstreetr the Rebel general, votes the Republican ticket now, and is loyal Key' votes this ticket and is lOyal. So loyalty means whether or not you vote thie republican ticket. [Applause.J

During the time when there was a vast amount of money in circulation everything was prosperous, and we had good times. Now if we have as much currency in circulation at present as we had then, we should ha\e cot responding prosperity. S6 gentlemen who claim that we have as much currency in circulation now as we had then are mistaken. General Hunter has never got a bill through congress that was of benefit to the people of his district. I have defied him to show me one.. He can not.

The speaker quoted from a speech made at -»Eik frsvillc in which he said that he introduced the bill to remonetize the silver dollar and that it is now the law.

The speaker continued: You know, gentlemen, that Mr.. Bland introduced the bill to remonetize the silver dollar, and that his bill is now thelaw, I hope this statement is an oversight in Gen. Hunter. Besides remonetizing the silver dollar the -Democrats did all they could to repeal the resumption act. It was no fault of theirs' that it was not repealed. But Huntei*il very muchi afraid that I should get into Congress,, and your interests would not be looked after. Let me say, gentlemen, if I get in Congress I will'never shirk any duty if I believe a Vneasure to be right I will vote for it and take the responsibility. [Great applause.] I hold, this that a man whoknows himself to.be innocent does not fear investigation, and that a man who knows himself to be guilty, does fear investigation, and .for this reason the Republicans opposed the Potter resolution.^ What advantage is there in. keeping Hunter in Congress?. He has been on the wrong side of every important question. The speaker here presented to view a map of Indiana, showing the shape of the' congressional districts. He pointed out particularly the eighth district. He. then spoke for some minutes about the apportionment of the state, as made by a Republican legislature. He showed that each of the nine congressmen the Republicans have from this state represent a constituency of

HaUter's

so you have lost $301,000,-

000 on the National banks. In otder to show that the government has the power to issue greenbacks in in time of peace the speaker quoted fix the supreme comt decisions,

33,000,

while

each Of th four Democratic Congressmen from Indiana represent a constituencr of s4oeo. He also explained how the Republicans had fixed it so as to get a majority in the state legislature, and continued saying: The Democrats might Carry the state by

10,000,

majority

and the Republicans then elect a senator This is what they Call just legislation. They want to send Ben Harrison, the man who wants, aS he says, an asylum for the national idiots, to the (J nited Slates Senate. I want to know of the greenback men, will they permit this? (A voice "No.") The Democratic house has cut down -the (expenses ot the government at the rate of $30,000,000 a year. Now if the Republicans had saved this much each year, we would, to-day, have but a small public debt. This amount we saved by the one House. If the Democrats had had control of both Mouses how much more could 'they have saved?' Remember fellow citizens, that General

votes have always been in the

interest of national banks. Point me out one single bill that ever did you good. And now, gentlemen, I hope when you cecide for whom you are going to vote you will decide whether you shall vote for a representative of the national banks or for a man who will represent**your interests. [Great ap[plaus). 1At the close of the speech three cheers was given for Mr. Hosteler and three cheers for the Democratic county tidiet.

The young ladies of an eastern church went en masse at one oi the watering places, and took possession of one of the swings. We suppose plenty of people turned out to see the sweet swingers of giyl Israel.—[ Keokuk Constitution.
