LAWS RELATING TO NEWSPAPER

Subscriptions and Arrearages-

The attention of all person* receiving the Gazette Is directed to the laws relating to newspapers and subscribers which we publish herewith. There are," however «n the Gazette's list of subscribers, it in to be hoped, no persons who will not promptly respond to our just and lawful request for money due, asset forth in what follows: 1. Subscribers who do not give cspresj notice to thecontrary, arc considered wishing to continue their subscription. 2. FJ subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publishers way continue to send them until all arrearages tire.paid 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to tchieh they are directed, they are held resjtonsibie until they have, settled their bills, and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publishers, and the papers are sent to the former direction, they we held rexjxjmible. 6. The courts- have decided that "refusing to take periodicals from theofllce, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of Intentional fraud.' i. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it, whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber. 7. If subscribers pay in advmcc, they arc btituul to give notice to the publisher, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue taking it otherwise tlw publisher is authorised to send it on, and the [subscribers will bresponsible until an express notice, with •ment of all arrears is sent to the publisher.

11- the GAZETTE should come into the hands of any one who is not a subscriber, vre liopo he will read it carefully and, if he likes it, subscribe. It costs only $1.30 per year, or less than three ccnts per week, delivered postage, free, at any postoffice you desire. Our aim is to make the GAZETTE the best weekly paper pullished in Indiana. We feel tolerably confident it is the best for local, tele graphic, market, court house and miscellaneous news printed in Terre llaute. We knew it is the only one that has the courage of its convictions at all times and under all circumstances. The past has shown that the future will confirm it Now is the accepted time now is the day to subsenbo. Call on or address the publishers, W. C. BAM. & Co., No. 23, South 3th St.

JK now Melville, having found the bodies of De Long and his men, cold and stiff in death as that phrase does not often signify, can only get back alive himself it would be the part of wisdom to give over nil search for the pole for a season. About the very worst use to: which men and money can be devote 1 is in an nrctic exploring expedition. In view of the fact that the government is doing all this searching it might as well be understood now that the next enterprising citizcn who fits out a polar expedition must file a bond in ten times the amount of the original outfit to find and bury the explorers.

IT is to be T'cared that the murder of Lord Cavendish, secretary for Ireland anixif Under S cretarv Bourke, will be a severe blow to the best interests of Ireland. It will, perhaps,

veact

in that

country much us the assassination of England did in the Soulh. The whole South was held more or less responsible by a large portion of people in the North for a crime of which they were entirely guiltless. Time has made this eviJent. But it was a time of excitement and angry passions were atous^d. Had Lincoln lived his strong personality and his popularity with the people would have carried to a successful conclusion that policy of peace and fraternity which stirred up so much strife when it was attempted by his successor. There is good reason to sup pose that Mr. Gladstone is sincerely de sirous of accomplishing, as the crowning act. of.his long and useful lite, the mater ial welfare of Ireland. Of all English statesman none seem to be so possessed with the spirit of philanthropy. We do not suppose for an instant that he will himself attempt to hold the whole Irish people responsible for a bloody double murder committed by some ruffians. But it remains to be seen whether even his strength is sufficient to drag after him in his proposed policy the English people, now that the:r worst passions have been aroused by this great crime. It is not unlikely that the majority of Parliament will fall away from "his leadership and lie be compelled to resign. In that event the Tories would probably be successful and that would mean for Ireland an era of martial law and military terrorism compared with which the Irish people have as yet experienced nothing.

THERE was a fox hunt in Maryland the other day, soire of the particulars of which were not laid down in the original program of exercises. The able editor of the St. Loui6 Poet-Dispatch gives an account of the affair which makes what

Horace Greely was wont to call mighty1 interesting reading." He savs: A very sad affair recently occurred io Baltimore county, Maryland, at the COBelusion of an aristocratic fox hunt in which the nobility and gentry of that part of the country were engaged. It appears that a number ctffcloojed gentlemen and ladies were out a-chasing the elusive fox on horseback, accompanied by number of sportive and hilarious dog3. The fox was overtaken very promptly, us usual, andsiain. Two of the gentlemen, Mr. Ferguson and Frof. Rowland, each wanted t£e "bru^h," which is the technical name for the ulterior portion of the fox, to present to Miss McTavish. Prof. Rowland cut off the brush and presented it to the lady, whereupon "Kr. Ferguson eat him across the face with his riding whip. The rebuke was not taken in good !art by the professor, who subsequently explained to his friends that the presence of Miss McTavish was the only thing which prevented him from imbruing his hands in the heart's blood of Mr. Ferguson. One Brown, who is designated as the Master of the Hunt, came up at this point in the proceedings and knocked Mr. Ferguson down. It must give every member of aristocratic society throughout the hroad republic a thrill of pleasure to learn of these gallant doings of thecbivalric descendants of Lord Baltimore and the Carrolls and Howards and the different bodies of emigrants which broke into Maryland in the good old colony days when we lived under the .King. Fox hunting is essentially an aristocratic sport, and if a gentleman is to be cowhided for presenting a fox's brush to the lady of his heart then tbe element of danger will also be added to this exhilarating pastime.

PL A TFOJi ANIJ OA NDIJJ A TE.S OF THE ShJ VENTl! DISTRICT. The Democracy of the Seventh Congressional District comprised of the counties of of Marion, Shelby and Hancock, met in convention at bhelbvville yester. day. Wm.

E.

English, a son of W. II.

English, the Democratic candidate for vice-President two years ago, was nominated for Congressman by acclamation and amid the wildest enthusiasm Will English was the first representative in the Legislature two years ago from Marion and Shelby counties. There was in the beginning of the canvass two months ago a talk of opposition to his nomination but this gradually disappeared until when the convention met yesterday there was practical unanimity. This angers well for the election and, though the district has heretofore been considered Republican and has usually sent a Republican to Congress, those best acquainted with the disposition and the feeling of the people in the three counties of which it is composed give it as their deliberate opinion that Mr. English can and will be elected. He is a very young man and will make a strong cauvass.

The platform adopted by the convention takes strong ground in opposition to the proposed prohibitory constitutional amendment. The platform, as a whole, is, in fact, unimportant. A strong effort will doubtless be made to have the State convention take the same ground, and it is probable that it substantially embodies the views which will be given expression in the S'ate platform. We, therefore, give them here entire

As we have an abiding faith in the correctness of our principles, we do not propose to avoid the responsibility of expressing them as was done by the late Republican convention, in refusing to adopt any lesolutions or express any opinion upon political questions therefore, we resolve and declare as follows: 1. We hold that the government should be administered in that way best calculated to confer the greatest good upon the greatest number without sacrificing the rights of person or of property, and leaving the innocent creeds, hnbits, customs and business ot the people unlettered by sumptuary laws, class legislation or extortionate monopolies. 2. We are in favor of sobriety and temperance, and all proper means tor the promotion of these virtues, but we believe that reasonable and just laws upon the subject, faithfully enforced, would be better than fanatical and extreme measures which, being subversive of personal liberty and in conflict with oublic sentiment, would never be effectively executed, thus bringing law into disrepute and tending to make sneak3 and hypocrites of our people, therefore we are unconditionally opposed to any law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of spiritous and malt liquors, and particularly to the proposed amendment of our Slate Constitution in favor of such prohibition o. The fact that fanatical sumptuary legislation is to b3 found only in Republican States, and is mainly fostered by the open advocacy or cowardly silence of Republicans, should induce every friend of civil liberty to leave that party and act With the Democrats, who lrom the beginning have boldly advocated the rights and liberties of the people. It is too late now for the Republicans to gain confidence by any change of front upon this question or any pretended opposition to prohibition. 4. We recognize to the fullest extent the sovereignty of the people and the duty of executing their will iu all matters of legislation, and as prohibition has been madealeadingissusof the coming campaign by the action of the last Republican Legislature, we are in favor of ascertaining the will of the people upon that subject, and executing thai will, in the earliest, cheapest and most effective manner possible, which is to elect at the coming election, to represent us in making the laws and in executing them, men who are known to be unalterably opposed to prohibition, first, last and all the time. 3. The Democratic party is the friend of workingmeH, ready to stand between tkeai and oppression, and to mould legislation, as far as practicable, so as to elevate labor and give every one a just reward for his own vork and we entirely disapprove of the policy of the Republican party and Administration in favoring wealthy monopolies and neglecting the interests of laboring men as showu by the late veto of the Chinese bill and in various other way6. 6. We are in iavor of honest momy,

We regard, banks of some sort a- a coinaurcial necessity, and favor treating :h?m justly and fairly at the btme time we are t^iosed to giving tkem any extraordinary privilege or dangerous power?, or granting them any favors prejudicial t» the interests of the people. 4. We are ia faver of ecoaomv in public expenditures, including a reduction of fee3 and sa'aries wherever excessive, and also a dContinuance of all useless offices. 8. We favor a retorni in the tariff laws in order to secure a more equal distribution of the burthens and blessings of government without injuring American industries or the revenues needed for an economical administration of public affairs. 0 The rights guaranteed by the Constitution to the States and the general government, respectively, should be-faith-fully maintained, and no encroachment allowed by either upon the constitutional rights of uie other, and therefore we favor an indissoluble Union of indestructable

). We ho'd it to be the duty of our eminent to protect in ever}' part of the w.i, U1 a'.l our naturalized citizens, including those who have declared their intention to become such according to our laws, the same as we would our native born, and to resist all improper claims upon them by Governments to w^iich they no longer owe allegiance and our sympathies are with all oppressed people, in all parts of the world, in all rightful and proper efforts to free themselves from oppression, and establish free institutions based upon the consent of the governed. 11. The proposition of the civil service by tiie present Administration in the bestowal of offices as a mere reward to partisan and personal favorites of the Stalwait fatuion, and the use of the salaries and profits of public offices and contracts to control ejections as practiced under Republican rale, are injurious to the public interests and deserve the condemnation of all good citizens. The whole system of civil service, as it has been conducted bv the Republican party, needs to be radically reformed. 12. That the long continuance of tbfe Republican party in power has ied to star route and other frauds and corruptions frightful to contemplate, the fuil extent ol which will never be knowu until that party is driven from power, which is now demanded by the best interests of the country and we iavor holding all public officers to a strict accountability and their propipt and severe punishment for all thefts of public money and corrupt maladministration of office and we demand of Congress and those in authority, that they shall rigidly and persist'}* pursue investigations and provide ways and means to uncover, punish and prevent fraudulent practices and ring conttivances which deplete the treasury, disgrace the country and add io the burihens of ihe people.

Chinese Question in a Nutshell. Mr. M. II. DeYoung, Editor of the Sau Francisco Chronicle, has been interviewed iu Chicago by a Tribune reporter, to whom he said: "Look at it in a reasonable, common-sense light. There are 5,000 Chinese cigar makers in San Francisco now, where a few years ago while men were employed. The latter traveled back to the already overstocked Eastern cities or were forced to take up a pick and dig. Can they learn a new trade, onl in turn to give it up to the Chinee? The Chinese are apt and learn, readily. They arc already manufacturing all of the under-wear uSfed on the Prcific Coast. Not only this but they own their own cigar manufactory and their own woolen mills They are not only coolie laborers, but they are Chinese capitalists. The *Six Companies' are the masters and the coolies ike slaves. They own their own line of steamships, and arc bringing more coolies right along to compete with white labor and drive out the indnstnous laboring classes. There are 20,000 contracted f»r now, to be brought in this summer. Their arrival here will create 20,000 Communists out of people that are now satisfied, law abiding citizens.

Obituary.

MRS. CHARI.BS W. RIGNEY. It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of one of our most beloved christian citizens, the wife of Mr. Charles W. Rignev, who departed this life on the 1st day of May, 1892, of quick consump tion. The deceased was a daughter of our venerable friend. Commissioner DcBauD, and was born March 30,1859 was married to Charles W. Rigney, one of Vigo's best young men, on the 22d of August, 1878. Space will not permit of a minute history of the virtues of this noble woman who always was kind to those around her. She leaves a father and mother, brothers and sisters, and a concourse of relatives and friends, who, with her bereaved husband and dear little children, Katie, the eldest, and Freddie, the babe, moam the loss of companion, mother, daughter, wife and sister. In her decease the community lose a friend and a pattern of piety, but we feel that oui loss is her eternal gain. She gave unmistakable evidences of her acceptance in the glory world, and when visited by ministering angels in her affliction, though weak ID body, she could join them in strong anthems of praise, singing as strong and clear as when in good health "Her funeral from the residence of her brother and sister, Joseph and Sarah Reynolds, at whose house she died on the 2nd of May, 1882, was attended by the largest concourse of people ever assembled on such an occasion at Prairieton, who followed her remains to the Hull cemetery, where beneath a small mound on that beautiful hill, sister Isabell C. Rigney sleeps awaiting sweetly the resurection call while her precious spirit, which is life, we realize is enjoy, ing the presence of God amonsr the angels. The services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Culmer assisted by Rev. J. S. Whitlock. The bereaved husband and dear little children have our heartfelt sympathy and prayer in their bereavement. Brother and 6ister Reynolds were untiring in the patience with which they administered to the wants of sister Rigney in her affliction. We implore a rich blessing upon ihe survivors, especially on those dear little lambs who are without a mother, save the church.

Too Late for Last Week's Paper. The crops are looking bad. Wheat in our neighborhood will not make an average crop.

The farmers arc all about done planting corn, but some are not done breaking. Mr. G. W. McDonald has a new spring wagon and expects to go to meeting now.

Mr. Stephen McClannahan and one ol his sons in-law got very much excited about their dogs not being tagged, and concluded they would each run a horse down to get tags for them.

If there are any ministers who have nothing to do we would like to have them at Farmersburg, as it is becoming very corrupt. Everyone seems to be quarreling at that place. If there are no ministers we would like to have a few constables and justices—anything to keep the peace.

Mr. John Harding had three cows killed by coming in contact with the cars recently.

NEW YORK NEWS.

What is Going on There To-day.

GOLD.

NEW YORK, May 10.—TheGallia takes out $2,350,000 gold to day. STOCKS.

Tbe cause of the recent advance in the stock market seems to have come out. It has been a German boom and an entire success. Indications are that a pool embracing four or five strong houses was formed to bull the market on the theory that short interest would be easily scared by sharp buying just after Gould's return. The sharps became alarmed precisely as anticipated. Gould was declared to be buying through unusual channels and the .sew York Central was called in to give it a Vanderbill effect. The pool made a turn on the long side and a market for some long stock and the situation now is about as it was when the bear program was interrupted.

DIVIDEND.

It is rumored a dividend will soon be declared on the Manhattan.

Locked Out.

CLEVELAND, May 10.—Th^ difference between the Cleveland rolling mill company and employes have culminated in a lock out. All companies' works are shut down and between 3,000 and 4,000 men are idle. Pan of the men announced last evening that they would quit and an order was issued to close all other works until the men were ready to return. It was thought possible this course would induce the men to resume *to day, but they did not and manifest a determination to stay out. Trouble has been pending for some time, and a strike was looked for to begin next Saturday, but the matter was unexpectedly precipitated by the action of tlie company. The situation i3 this: Mostofthe workmen are members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, which association recently mad« a formal demand for an advance of wages, a change in the methods of works and the restoration of two members who had been discharged. The Rolling Mill company considered that the time had come to decide whether the Amalgamated Association or the Rolling Mill company should run the company's business, and last evening posted a notice that the company wonld continue to conduct its affairs as heretofore. Some of tfle men announced their intentiion of stopping labor and the company ordered all the works closed until the men are ready to resume, when the company says it will talk with them. The trade and contracts are in such condition, the company claims, that this stoppage will benefit not only the company itself but the entire iron and steel Interests of he country.

From meagre information thus fur received it seeme to have destroyed the entire place, killing eight people and and wounding some forty others, several of whom it is said will die. Several miles of telegraph line ftas torn donn and it is impossible to obtain details. It seems that two storms met and centered at the coal mining camps, three miles from McAllister Station, on the M. K. & T. road. One storm came from the southwest, going northeast from Ft. Worth, passing Dennison slightly to the west. The other came from the southwest, going northwest, ana passing Dennison on the east.

GREAT DISTRUCTIOfi AT PARIS.

Gibson.

Crop Prospects.

IOWA.

ST. I\M I„ May 10.—The warm rains of the jpast two days, coming just as the seeding is finished, have been very favorable to crop prospects in the Northwest, and reports are almost uniformly cheering. i.'rop reports from forty-one townships in Iowa, centering about Oskaloosa, show fall and spring wheat, oats and rye in first-class condition. Our ground is nearly all plowed and an early planting is assured, with a greatly increased acreage of about CO,0(H) acres in small grain.

KANSAS.

ADELINE, May 10.—Crop indications for this and adjoining counties arc excellent. Rain enough has fallen. Tbe chinch bugs have done very little harm and are generally exterminated by late rains. 'Wheat is well up and in the head. Harvest is but a few weeks off, with prospects of a good crop. Corn 13 up nicely. The warm wfather of the past week proved just the thing for vegetation.
