THURSDAY. APRIL 1.1880.

DEMOCRATS must turn out this week and work for the Township ticket.

TOM KINSRR is the blue-eyed boy of destiny and can be elected by a good round majority.

Tom Kinscr is the candidate of the Workingmen of Harrison township for Trustee. He is a poor man and not afraid of work.

SECRETARY SHERMAN left Washing, ton vesterd ay*to lbok after those fences of his in Ohio, which bj-eachy cattle have •been breaking over and ruining.

DEMOCRATS can unite and vote solidly Aor the Township ticket. From Tom Kinser clear through the list the ticket is a good one and worthy the entire sup1 |ort of the party.

NATIONALS and Republicans are struggling to prove that their candidates are as good as the Democratic ones for the township officcs. So far the demonstration has not been a success.

SOME admiring friends in New York are undertaking to work up a Groesbeck presidential boom. It is thought all the warring factions of the party can unite on him. Mr. Groesbeek stands «*high as a citizen' and statesman.

REPUBLICANS are trying to prove th® fitness of their candidates lor the offices they seek by belittleiog the importance of the duties to be performed. They argue that since the duties of the offices are unimportant their candidates can fill the bil1.

THE importance of carrying the township tickets next Monday can not be overestimated by Democrats. All persons desiring to defeat Grant next fall should assist the Democratic boom next Monday. The first skiimish is an index of the way the battle will go. Democrats should rallv in force and carry 'the day by storm.

No Democrat who is anxious to carry the city election this spring, the county, State and national. elections this fall, can -afford to nurse a\fy private grudges and Vote against a single man oh the township ticket next Monday. The election next Monday will have an important bearing oa all those others, and it behooves Democrats to be active and vigilant now. .•

No citizen anxious to have the assess, tnent of property for taxation in Harrison Township done in the best manner possible should fail to cast a rote for Martin Kercheval. There can be no serious question about his superior qualifications He has done something ®f the kind "x -if V, vva

»••*.

before he knows the business has ahead full of hard, common sense, and trill fill the position satisfactorily. Of the abilities and qualification* of the others there are doubts, but there can be none of Mr. Kercheval's fitness.

EVEN in the days of the Mound Builders |the chief men and those presumably who filled the most important offices were Ohio men. In that State and Clustering close about Cincinnati, then, as now, the home of greatness, were the greatest number of, and their lordliest tnpunds and the most numerous relics. But the Mound Builders passed away the places which knew them know them no more their glory has departed and archaeologists,from.'the testimony of skulls and calcined shin bones, and arrow heads and the ru&ted trifles of an extinct race make guesses as to. whether they were driven away fiv* 4r ten thousand years ago. Let Stanley Matthews and other great men beware.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE. During the twelve months ending February 29, 1880, the United States did reasonably well in the matter of its foreign trade, the exports exceeding the imports for that period by the comfortable little sum of $212,298,963. Excellent as this s, however, it is not as good as the year before, when the excess was $293,762,167. An average of a qnarter of a billion dollars in our favor is quite a satisfactory showing. After a little we shall not only have all our U. S. bonds here, but all State and railroad bonds and stocks, and then be obliged to invest our surplus in their securities.

THE EXODUS.

Yesterday Senator Windom, Republican manager of the Senate exodus investigation committee into the causes of the negro emigration from North Carolina into Indiana, continued his elucidation of the subject by examining one John G. Lewis, colored, a resident of Natchitoches parish, Louisiana. He went on to say that the negroes had been denied their political rights in Louisiana and had been unfairly treated by the land owners. Thi6, it is presumed, is the reason they are leavirtg North Carolina, where they are in possession of every right, and are coming to Indiana. This is slightly diaphanous.

A FORTUNE FOR THE FAMILY. A fortune variously estimated at from one to'two hundred millions of dollars is in Holland waiting to be claimed by the Kern family in this country. An organ ization of the Kern heirs for the purpose, of making a raid on Holland has lately been effected. One of the heirs is Jacob Kern of this city and another, his brother, Charlie Kern, formerly of Terre Haute but now' living in Chicago. Hearing of the matter a Chicago Inter. Ocean reporter visited Mr. Kerne and had the following interview with him "Last evening's dispatches contained an item to the effect that the Kern family had become heirs to over $200,000,000, and a reporter of the Inter Ocean made it his business, as soon as other, things had been accomplished, to seek one of the heirs resident in Chicago, shake hands with him and «6ee how he felt. The reporter explained in few words the object of his visit, and apologized fo» thus calling the heir from the arms of Morpheus by the desire to allay the laudable cariosity of the great American seekers after new sensations. Said Mr. Kern: "Somebody was telling iue about this thing, but" I never thought it worth while to bother about. ''What relation to you was the man who loaned the government of Holland the money a hundred years agy "He was my great grandfather. You see my family i6 from Holland, and about the time of the revolutionary war they emigrated, some of the boys to Germany, and some, two I think, to America. At the present time there are branches of the family Philadelphia land Other parts of Pennsylvania, in 'Kokomo County, Indiana, in New York

State, and here." '•Then," queried the reporter,-, "how many of the family are in this country, in Germany, and in Holland?" "I don't know," mused Charlie, "mebbe there's five hundred of us, mebbe a thousand. I have seen Kerns in New York, Philadelphia, and Fort Wayne. The Philadelphia cousin is United States Marshal. His wife died of hydrophobia. Then my aunt, who knows all the family genealogy from my great grandfather down, is in Fort Wayne. I must go and see her some day. She is between 75 and So years old."

Charlie Kern is short, thick set, a thorough Hollander in appearance, such a one as Holbein or Teniers loved to paint, hroad of face and shoulders, with a ptegmatic temperament, which would doubtless bear him over the direct misfortune on the succession to a fortune of millions. He i% 49 years of age has served Cook county a6 Sheriff, and is probably as well known as any public man in Chicago. He evidently "doesn't take much stock in the $200,000,000 fortune,*' and talks with a sang froid air of making inquiries about it by and by.

MORMONISM.

From our social standpoint it is impos sible to conceive what is the charm Mormonism that gives it strength and secures the devotion of its adherents, What charm there can be in having 1 multiplicity of wives (especially if it involves a multiplicity of mothers-in-law) is incomprehensible. The institution is founded upon the lowest stratum of human nature and accomplishes the degradation of both man and woman, developing hit most groveling qualities and elim-

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

mating from her almost all that is elevating, noble and pure. Of course, there is no doctrine so palpably false that persons born and bred under its influence will not believe it, but it would Beem that in the light of the present time one so monstrous as Mormonism would have no hope at all of making proselytes in a Christian country but during the last few days no less than twenty converts have left Lawrence county, Ky., for Utah, thereunto induced by the efforts of Mormon missionaries who have been at work there for some time past. Among these persons was a young, handsome married lady who left her hueband behind.

What efforts should be made against Mormonismj and whether any other than a moral influence, it is difficult to say. The institution is so odious to every person of elevated sentiments that a move to suppress it by actual force of arms, and if necessary the extinction of its adherents, would find many supporters among the best classes of society, and probably no very strong or determined opposition outside of. Utah. But it is questionable if there is any course of6ocial or reljgious life which a person or body of persons may choose to follow, which is so odius or radically wrong as to warrant the use of physical force to suppress it. There is a sense of proprietorship in oneself that makes a person feel that any interference with his mode of lite, in other words, his method of disposing of himself, is a wrong, and usually has the ef* feet to make such an one more persistently confirmed in his course than he otherwise would have been. As a rule, men will desist from whatever makes them unhappy (as all wrong must ultimately do), but, like Falstaff, "not under compulsion." Men are not even willing to be forced to be happy. Nature intended that everything, even error, should die by a natural process. Whatever is killed dies hard. You may stamp out an institution, grind it to dust beneath the iron heel of oppression but beware of such a process of getting rid of it, lest every particle of dust 6prout like the famous dragon's-teeth and yield a harvest of evil a thousand-fold greater than the one attempted to be suppressed.

Then, again, there is another matter to be considered that has always received much less consideration than it has merited in attempts at reformation, and that is that an institution, even one wrong in itself, being wrongfully attacked, multiplies its strength many times by the sympathy it receive from those who would bring to bear against it their utmost moral power, but would rather support it than 6ee a wrong wrongfully righted. And these men are not in the wrong when they proceed thus, though they be espousing temporarily a cause wrong in itself for the greatest possible ill

vthat

can happen is that the

right 6hould succeed by wrongful means It-is not enough that the right prevail it must prevail by means as unquestionable as the end sought to be attained. Right has in^the very constitution of things an absolute promise of ultimate success. It will prevail over error, if by no other means than simply to outlive it, for right is immortal, survives under all circumstances, while error is Inerveting, disintegrating, and brings about its own dissolution. The triumphs that right has gained over wrong, in the world's history, have almost always been partially, sometimes wholly, nullified by tie means whereby they were gained( whereas, if the adherents of right had baen more patient and tolerant the same eini would have been altimately gained by means un«yiestionable. Let us never weaken a right cause by making it the apologist for wrong means, and never strengthen a wrong c»we by giving it thefjust and always powerful plea of persecution.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE. The roads ot Harrison Township need a great deal of work put Upon them to make them what they ought to be. On no subject are the people-so much interested. In any general system of improvement for the roads ot Vigo County Harrison Township must set the example. Outlying townships can follow her lead in this matter. Our city streets are for the most part in an excellent condition. Harrisvn Township must take up these various avenues of trade where the Street Commissioner left off at tfce city limits and continue them oux to the townsh'p line.» This work must be done by the Trustee. It entirely in his hand. Other trustees in other townships, seeing good roads adjoining them and running up to them, will be spurred by the power of a good example into fixing up the thoroughfares under their control and so, instead of execrable roads, we shall gradually have good ones. „But the initiatory must Tie taken b/ Harrison Township

This much is obvious. Now, atjthe election next Monday, the people of Harrison Township will have opportunity of making choice between three men to fill this place. One of them, Thomas Kinser, the Democratic candidate, has been a road contractor. He has worked oa roads himself. He knows the business from beginning to end. He knows what a day's work far

man and team hauling gravel is, for he has been there himself, as the phrase goes. He is, therefore, likely to get the greatest amount of work done on the roads for the least amount of money( which, if we understand the question, is what the people want, not only of the Trustee, but of every public officer. It is easy to see, under the circumstances, tha the people can entrust the responsibilities of this office to one who is eminently fitted to discharge the duties, having both knowledge and experience of the work to be performed.

B. J. Abbott, the National candidate is a good man and has made a fair Trustee. *He has performed the duties of the office honestly and faithfully. This acknowledgement is due him, and the GAZETTE takes this occasion to say that neither it nor the Democratic party takes any stock in the vicious revamping of groundless and disproven charges made against him at the present time by the minor Republican press of this city. His record is a good one. The party to which Mr. Abbott belongs, however, is badly demoralized this spring, owing to its* lack of a daily paper to defend its principles, and he will fail of an election on that account, and not because his record is not one of which he or any man might be proud. His adherents must see in the next few days, if they do not see it already, that the fight is between Kinser and Finkbiner and that, their own man having no chance, they must really make choice between these two if they desire their votes to accomplish anything. It is this, and this only that will defeat Mr. Abbott, for he has made a good Trustee and would be a good one again if he could be elected.

But to continue our disquisition on the road question: Mr. Louis Finkbiner the Republican candidate for Trustee, is personally a reputable citizen. The GAZETTE has not one word to say against his personal record. The' worst and only thing against him, s* tar as the GAZETTE knows, is his Republicanism and we have not quite come yet to regarding that as an unpardonable sin. Mr. Finkbiner has worked for years for two firms both in the hardware business. He was with the firm of J. Cook & Son for years, and when, they went out of business took employment with A. G. Aus tin & Co., where he now is. He know8 all about hardware, can distinguish between powder and shot with his hands tied behind his back, and knows a hatahet from a hand-saw at 6ight. But so far as any experience on the road question is concerned, he does'nt know the difference between a corduroy road and a Nicholson pavement. His past ex perience will be of no possible service to him in the discharge of the duties of the position he is seeking. He will be a green hand in every, sense of the word and for all that the term implies.

Under the circumstances it ought not to take the citizens of Harrison Township long to decide between the respective merits of these men.
