NEXT week the managers of tbe' GAZICTTK hope to bave tbe paper appear in "entirely new type, whicb will greatly improve its appearance. The outlay fjr this is very heavy and subscribers who are delinquent will confer a great favor by paying whatever they can on their accounts. Jasper Newton Woods even wculd be wclcomi if he came up to the office and seitltd, but it is hardly believed he will do so decenta thing.

TREASURER OF STATE John J. Cooper baa tiled his new bond with Governor €ray. For his first term the bond was $250,000. The present Legislature very wisely and properly considered that nufflcient and promptly passed a law aisM' ui oond to $700,000. Under this ondsmen must have unincumbered property to the value ot twice that amount. But Treasurer Cooper, with proper appreciation, has secured bondsmen who are worth lully two millions. When the Governor has accepted the bond be will make it public.

HON. PATRICK SHANHOH has returned ir )m Indianapolis where he has been tbe pist week endeavoring to secure the passage of a bill relieve himself and the other bondsmen of Newton Rogers from loss by saddling tbe defalcation on the tax payers of the county. Should the bill pass Hou. P. Shannon would be abead between two and three thousand dollars, gobbled to save himself from all possibility of ]O?P, besides his share in a dividend on tbe seven thousand dollars collected out of Rogers' assets. When Mr. Sbannon'8 appetite for other people's substance is duly considered the maivel is how the earth escaped him.

A POLITICAL observer sends to the GAZETTE the following gues« as to President Cleveland's cabinet:

Secretaey of State—Thomas F. Bayard, Delaware. Secretary of Treasury—D. Manning, New York.

Secretary ot War—Wm. F. Vilas, Wisconsin.^ '2* 7 V% Secretary of Navy—Jos. E. McDonald, Indiana. J,.

Scoretarv of Interior—A. G. Thurmao, Ohio. Postmaster-General—L. Lama1", Trustee.

A.ttornFjr-General—A. H. Garland, Arkansas. -1

AN Indianapolis special to a Chicago paper pints the following inteaesting gossip concerning Gen. M. D. Manson, lieu.cnant Governor of the state. Inasmuch, however, as no intimstion of this purpose on the part ol Gen. Manson Las hitherio been printed or even hinted at it it may be taken with several grains of allowance. Certaialy no fine fortune that might hefall the old hero of two wars would be considered too good for him. Th3 Special says: "It is definitely understood among leading Democrats here that Lieutenant •Governor Manson will receive the unanimous support of his party for Pension Agent here, and that in anticipation of what he considers a certainty of being appointed, be is arranging to remove his family to this city, and before the end of the legislative session be will resign his present position of Lieu*enaut Governor, When questioned about the matter today he substantially acknowledged the truth of the rumor, and intimated that his resignation would be sent in in a few days. Sent.tor Magee, of Logansport, President of the Senate, will of course be his successor during this session at le%3t, and probably the next if he should be returned.

ENGLAND'S war in Egypt is not a just one. No ore realizes this so fully, perhaps, as the Gladstone government, which is far fn.m being enthusiastic in the matter ot its prosecution. It is an inheritance from the "Jingoism of the Beaconsfield's administration, which prescribed an aggressive foreign policy as panacea for all sorts of domestic misgovernment. But all that aside, and looking only at the fact of Gordon's death and that of a dozen other gallant generals and gentlemen, to say nothing of the hundreds of brave and sturdy soldiers who lost their lives in the desert, the way in which England is straining every nerve to avenge their deaths and regain the lost ground in the Soudan is calculated to excite admiration.

Last week the GAZETTE contained an account ot the departure of the Grenadier guards for the seat of war and of the ovations they rccaived at every point on their way from the barracks to the poiat of emba kation. Similar scenes

stirs one's blood even to read of the affecting leave-takioge—"those sudden partings whic.. press the life from out young hearts." And reading, it seems but, yesterday when all Terre Haute turned out one windy day in the spring of 1861 and followed out Wabash street to the depot, whiah then stood just across the4canal and south oi the street, to witness the departure for tne war of two gallant companies of Terre Haute's soldiers. Every woman in town, whether mother, wite, sister or sweetheart, felt sure the gallant fellows were marcnins to open graves. Alas! For many of them it was a funeral march. And yet, tnougb they felt this, bless their dear timorous hearts, their courage was ot the genuine sort, and they would not bid them stay at home when duty called. They followed them proudly though twarfully and between choking sobs bade them God epeed. And all the small boys were there, blissfully ignorant that war was a dangerous jame. Only seeing the uniforms and the flying flags hearing or ly the music and realizing in a vague sort of way that the soldiers -were heroes and were being made much of, how they did long to be in uniform and how they railed at the tate which brought them into the world too late to participate in tbe stirring drama oi war. All this was acted over again in distant London last week.

JUDGE C. MCNUTT, attorney for the Board of Commissioners ot Vigo County, went to Indianapolis Saturday. His object was to lay before the legislators tbe true inwardness and effect ol the bill to release the bondemen of Newton Rogers. He did his work well. Yesterday the bill was withdrawn. la accomplishing his purpose Judge McNutt wrote and had printed in circular form a clear and succint statement of the case. A copy of this review ot the ease, signed by himself, was laid on the desk of each Senator and Representative Monday morning. Shortly thereafter word was sent to Judge McNutt by Senator Schloes that he would have the bill withdrawn from or reported iodifinitely postponed by the committee to which it was referred. This ends the matter far as the Legislature goes. The coinmiseioners and their attorney have done heir duty and their whole duty, fearlessly, ably and actively, and deserve the plaudits of the eommunity in whose behalf their action has been taken Nothing now remains tor the bondsmen but to pay up as they agreed to do when they signed the bond, in the event ot their principal not turning over to his successor, as he did not, all the money due from him to the county. That they are "stuck" is a matter of regret, for it certainly is hard fortune lor any man to be compelled to go down into his own pocket and make good the toss of another man. But the experience is no new thing in the history of the world and a great many men can sympathize with them feelingly, for many have swallcwed the same bitter pill. No one ever yet found it sweet or palatable. But a bond means something, is taken for something and is not a mere piece of idle pleasantry

JOSEPH MULHATTON, late candidate of the commercial travelers for president, and one of the most versatile and accomplished prevaricators is the country, is evidently up in British Columbia. For this belief the reasons are abundant as witness the following dispatch which is Multbatonish to the la&t degree: A meteor passed over the city this morning about 9 o'clock was of enormous size and appeared like a mass of Molten iron. The noise caused by its passage was like escaping steam, smoke and flames were thrown off and it was seen to descend in the sea and sink. A cloud of spray and steam rising marked the spot where it fell. This extraordinary phenomenon was seen by many persons.

JAMES G. BLAINE seems to be a hard man to please. About a year ago Mr. Healey, a Boston artist, painted bis portrait, to he hung with those of his predecessors in the diplomatic reception rocftn at the Slate department. The pic* ture was not satisfactory and Mr. Blaine sat again. A second

fime

he expressed

dissatisfaction, when the services of the English portrait painter, Mr. Archer, were engaged. His work was generally commended, but Mr. Blaine intimated that he was no better pleased with this third production than with those of Mr. Healey. The state department add rested Mr. Blaine several times asking if they should accept or reject the Archer painting/ For some reason Mr. Blaine did not reply to these communications. Secretary Frelinghuysen, at last grew tired of waiting and accordingly purchased the picture, for which $500 was paidv,t __________

A mas has no business to be without a country, and it Is particularly foolish for a man who is technically a subject of a European nation to neglect the formal adoption of this country in which he lives.

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

who hare voted and even held office have accidentally discovered that they were not in law citizens, while others have intentionally neglected to take out papers and eo incur liability to military duty. The passage of the law to prohibit Iforeigners trom owning property in this country is demanded on several accounts, and it will serve to remind many nonnataralized poisons of their obligation in this regard. .The United States is probably tbe only nation that permits foreigners to own property,

DYNAMITE may be said to be coming almost into domestic use. Monday night the houee of one Neal Shanks at Nash ville, Ohio, was partially blown up v»ith this explosive. It is said to bs the outcome of p. local dissension which started from the burning of the house oc&upied by a woman of unsavory reputation and has grown until everybody in town has taken sides in tbe angry discussion.

THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat comes to the front with a characteristic explanation of a recent occurrence in the Senate. It says:

The form in whicb Senator Edmunds cautiously announced the result of tbe vote for President—"Grover Clevelatd appears to be elected"—is being discuss ed in the Eastern press in elaborate and profound articles. It may be that there was something dreadful concealed in that manner of stating the fact but it is more likely, we suspect, that Mr. Edmunds' intention wis to break the bad new? gently, instead of blurting it out in an abrupt and startling way.

SMALLPOX DISTRICT.

Letter From Dr. Orake to Dr. Crapo In Regard to the Infection.

Dr. John R. Crapo has received the following letter from Dr. Drake,, of frairieton township, in regard to the smallpox district, whioh Will be read with intertst "MYDKAB DR. CRAPO:—Have I not covered myself all over with glory This makes twelve cases of smallpox besides the first that was turned over 'to- me by another physician and all these twelve are doing welJL, These all took it from the woman that died, but as I obtained virus and vaccinated tbem within a week from their exposure it stripped the disease of all its terrors, transforming the most terrible malady known to man into a derangement so mild and gentle in its nature as to hardly bear the significance ot a disease. Tnis shows conclusively what I might and certainly would have accomplished last fall hail I fortunately been called to sae the first case. I am taking all possible pains to prevent the spread of the contagion and shall set that no one leaves their home until disinfection is mo6t thorough. For even then, I shall expect to have to face some harsh criticisms. '•There is left of Mr. Tobias Little's family who have not taken the disease, himself and two daughters. Those that took it were removed as soon as the symptoms manVeeted themselves and placed in the room across the open passway with the others who had it. Tne four days old babe bad the disease much more mildly than its mother,' through whose system it received the benefits of vaccination before its birth. In justice to those afflictcd I must say that they all most sincerely desire to have everything fully and sufficiently cleansed and disiclected before leaving their homes and all fully realize the awful responsibility of beifig in any way accountable for the spread of the disease. I believe within ten days from the present all will be fully recovered.

Yours very sincerely, THOMAS G. DRAKE.

He Attempts to Commit Suicide—A Confession He Is Trying to Hide.

Last Saturday William Seymour, a miner near Burnett P. O Nevina township, attempted to commit suicide He shot himself in the side at the house ot James Moreland, inflicting a dangerous but notfatai wound. He had evidently tried to kill himself. He was a widower and had been paying attention to a daughter of Mr. Moreland, who received a letter from him, shortly before the shooting, in which he gave as the reason for his desiring to kill himself that she

Miss Moreland) would net marry him. 'he letter also said that in tbe bottom of his giving §^o it.

trunk would be found a the reason of bis wife's death.

S^o it. seems had died some time previous to his moving to Vigo county, some five years ago. The trunk was not opened since he did not die, and now that he is getting well he doesn't want it opened. But tbe people .are talking abont it and the belief that his trunk contains a confession of his having foully dealt with his wife ia growing. Some citizens came to town to-day to consult about it and went borne determined to open tbe trunk. Moreland has a bad character. He was in jail several months ago for attempted rape. "fmfss.

The Congressional Apportionment Bill Gets Through All Right.

Farther Debate on the Normal Sohool Appropriation—Mr«. May's Claim —Notes.

Vroai Friday's Daily.

In the Hous9 yesterday the Republicans tried by dilitory motions to prevent tbe legislative apportionment bill from coming up, but the Democrats were equal to the occasion. On a ruling of the Speaker suppressing Representative Say re, one of the Republican obstructionists, the House sustained the Speaker by a vote of 57 to 86. The minority report snbmitted by the Republicans was tabled by yeas 57, nays 89. The majority report of the Democratic members was concurred in by yeas 55, nays 41. The amendments were then adopted by yeas 54, nays 41, and the bill was engrossed as amended. Two Republican members who desired to make themselves prominent and get their names in print presented a written protest against what they called "this infamous gag law" and the Speaker allowed it to go on record after striking out the word "infamous."

The Indianapolis Journal says: "To quiet tut opposition of the Fort Wayne representative, it is said that the metropolitan police bill now pending will be so ameudtd as to extend its provisions to "cities ot over 12,000 and under 26,500 inhabitants," which will include Terre Haute, Lit yette, New Albany, Loganspert and Richmond, but gives Fort Wayne the exemption whioh it demands. In this form the bill will be in the nature of special legislation, which is contrary to the constitution, and, to say the least, it *TO«ld be a Most extraordinary law."

The Indianapolis Sentinel says: "A rumor was current yesterday that tbe Republican members would resign in a body, rrfther than witness the passage of the apportionment bills now in the House. As tbey have neither been useful nor ornamental during tbe.session, their absence during the remaining dt-ys could not be regarded as a public calamity."

From Saturday's Daily.

In the State ftanale yesterday, Senator Schloss' bill to appropriate $25,000 a year to tbe Siate Normal. School came up tor consideration.

Mr. Mcintosh—I hope this bill will never become a law. In 1873, or thereabouts, there was a law passed authorizing the Superintendent ot Public Instruction to set apart a portion of the school fund tor the support of common schools. There has been $20,000 already set apart to the State Normal Sohool fund. Now this proposition is to set apart $25,000 a year more. Why not vote an appropriation direct, and let the tax payer know what he is paving taxts lor. Two years ago this appropriation was increased to 10,000. It is now enough.

Mr. Fowler—-I think this is a pernicious bill in principle. It is all wrong. It is proposed to appropriate $25,000 a year more out of the common school fund. It never was intended to divert mjney from the common school fund tor any purpose. There is a bill before the judioi&ry committee to repeal the act appropriating money to this Terre Haute Normal School. Why not entirely divert the school fund irum its legitimate purpose, to educate the children* throughout the country Let all such appropriations, if they must be made, be made out of tbe general fund.

Mr. Schioss—The trustees ot tbe State Normal School find it impossible to pay the teachers, and the school is now indebted for 'borrowed mon y. The school is increasing in usefulness and numbers. There were 1,172 students last year. Tbe school fund cannot be used for a better purpose than for the Normal School.

Mr. Magee saw a large number of small children attending the Normal School, and asked if the teachers ot these children were paid by the state. Mr. Schloss answered that the Normal pays part and the city of Terre Haute part ot the salaries of those teachers.

Mr. Youcbe—This seems to be pernicious legislation. When the Constitution was adopted there was no such a thing as a State Normal School. It can't be said that it is a common school. The Constitution should be liberally construed, but it prescribes in section 185 that the income of the school fund shall be distributed to the several counties. This fuud could as well be given to tbe State University at Bloomington. How can Senators get around this provision in tbe Constitution and 9ay this fund shal be distributed to this or that institution?

Mr. Campbell of Hendricks—I want to express a difference of opinion from the senators trom Owen [Mr. Fowler] and Greene [Mr. Mcintosh.] I differ in th*. opinion that this is a diversion of the money to tbe Normal School. Experience has taught that it is a matter of economy for the state to educate her teachers. I regard it in a different light trom what I do the university at Bloomington, or Purdue University, at Lafayette. I regard this State Normal School as part ot the system ot public schools, ft is an institution of which we ought to be prou(l.

Mr. Davis—The general appropriation bill passed yesterday gives the Slate Nor* mal (School $7,900.

Mr. Weir caller4 attention to a communication from the Governor in reference to the tittle to the grounds on which the the State Nermal School is built. "We should kLOw," he said, "more about this before any further appropriations are made. I am opposed to any such appropriation as is proposed, out of tbe school iund. I move further consideration be postponed until a report is made trom the committee to which the Governor's communication was referred."

Mr. Schloss—The committee has done its duty and everything is in order. Tbe papers will soon be returned hers, and the report of that oommittee will show that all is right.

Mr. Weir, at the solicitation of several senators, withdrew his motion. Mr. Magee—The proportionate amount of the school fund that should for the instruction of children attendng that school would be just. I doubt the constitutionality ot an act that would divert money trom the school fund for the education of teachers. I do not agree with the statement that the State Normal School is apart of the common school

system of the State. I am willing the portion that Cass county wfll give of this $25,000 shall go as this bill proposes therefore I am in lavor of the passage of this bill.

Mr. Davis understood that this bill would make the appropriation to the State Normal School about $65,000 a year.

Mr. Foulke—In order that our children may be properly instructed they should have competent teachers. There is a doubt about the constitutionality of the measure, and I move the reference of the bill to tbe judiciary committee with instructions to report to- morrow on that question. If the bill is constitutional want to vote for it. Tbe motion was agreed to.

An effectual quietus was put upon all proposed temperance legislation by the dteat in the State Senate yesterday ot Senator Foulke'a bill requiring thai the effects ot alcholic stimulants upon the human system shall be taught in the public sohools. A motion to indefinitely postpone the bill was adopted by a vote of 24 to 21. Six temperance Democrats voted with the Republicans. Senator Schloss voted with tbe majority.

The Senate bill authorizing tbe state officers to issue bonds for a temporary loan of $600,000 came up for consideration in the House yesterday afternoon and passed with but one dissenting vote.

The Senate passed the bill requiring the payment of employes once a month Prom Mondays Dally.

There were further developments in tLe Legislature Saturday in regard to the Normal school appropriatioii matter The Indianapolis Journal says: "The question suggested by Senator Touche regarding the constitutionality ot the proposition to appropriate $25,000 annually trom tbe nchool fund for the benefit of the State Normal 8chool a Terre Haute proves to be of extraordinary importance. After ca^fully consid enng the question tbe Senate judiciary committee unanimously came to the conclusion that it would be contrary to the Constitution to in any way divert the school fund tiom the sole purpose for which it was created, and that, in' consequence, the appropriation to tbe Normal School could not be lawfully made in the manner proposed. The discovery which the question involves entails the unlawful appropriation of upwards of $100,000 made by previous legislatures, and, in consequence, the matter is ot more than passing importance. The adjustment ot the difficulties and complications which are involved in the question are likely to give considerable trouble. Since the Normal School was instituted, eight years ago, the appropriations for its maintenance have been made from the school fund and as the amount has been from $15,000 to $20,000 a year, it will aggregate something over $100,000, Tne discovery that this money has been unlawfully used makes it necessary for the Legislature to reimburse the school fund, which will doubtless be done by an appropriation trom the general fund. Senator Schloss has introduced a bill which also provides for an appropriation trom tbe general fund of $50,0U0 for tbe expenses of tbe Normal School during the next two years, and for the reimbursement of W. K. McKeen, who, in the absence of an appropriation by tbe last General Assembly, furnished the money which was needed to maintain the institution during 1884. The discovery which Senator Youcbe's question has brought about will, therelore, probably necessitate adding to tbe general fund an extraordinary ancl uncontemplated expenditure of about $150,000."

The judiciary committee of the Senate having reported Senator Schloss bill unconstitutional, Mr. Schloss, for the reason that the Normal School would be without money tor tuition purposes, introduced a bill as a substitute tor tbe one decided unconstitutional It was referred to a select committee of five.

Senator £rcest offered a concurrent resolution, which was adopted, instructing Senators and request ng congressmen to oppose any financial measure having tor its object tbe stoppage of the coinage of stiver dollars.

A motion to make the metropolitan police bill a special order for to-morrow evening was defeated in the House Saturday afternoon.

Tbe bill of Representative Schley, to place tbe Indianapolis fire department under the regulations of the metropolitan system, will be reported upon adversely by the judiciary committee.

Mr. Hanlon, ot the committee on railroads, reported back without recommendation Mr. Debs' bill [H. R. 92] concerning the liability of corporations for injuries to employes.

The bill was read the second time. Acr. Debs: This measure is a very important one,and is meant to protect laborers from carelessness of employers.

Mr. Smith, of Tippecanoe* 1 have made up my mind to push this bill as far as in my power to completion. In my county we were pledged to it. This is not a political question, and all the candidates ot our county were pledged to it. Judge Woods says that to secure these damages the Legislature must be ppealed to. It a man out ot tbe employ of a railroad lose his life while riding on it he may recover damages and we should make it the same with employes. I rise and fall by this position.

Mr. Brownlee: I arise to join the two gentlemen who have preceded me. The bill was ordered engrossed. i-

From Wednesdays Daily

The House yesterday afternoon passed tbecongreesional apportionment bill by a voti of 55 to 40, the vote showing that the Democrats were practically unanimous on the question. On a pretense of explaining his vote, B. Wilson Smith, of Tippecanoe county, a Republican member,abused hiaprivilegeby a wild and demagogical effort at making partisan

capital, and later on six Republican members, for the joint purpose of getting their names in tbe papers, united in a pretest to the Speaker against the action of the majority in passing the bill on a demand for the previous question and thus shutting off tbe oratorical wind bags on the Republican side. But seven Democratic members voted with the minority on the question, and this is especially pleasing in view of the efiorts of the Republican organs at Indianapolis to stir up strife among tbe Democratic members over tbe bill.

The legislative apportionment bill will be passed by the House to-day and it is probable that both measures will be placed upon their final passage to-mor-row. Both the Journal and Times, the two Republican papers at tbe capital, are fearfully wrought up over the prospect of the Eighth district being put back to something near the position it occupied before a Republican gerrymander, for all of which the public is duly thankful.

THB MAT CLAIM.

Jlrs. May secured the engrossment oi the bill for the payment of ber claim of $10,000, the vote in the Senate, where the bill originated, being a tie. Lieut. Governor Manson, in giving the casting vote in her favor, said he did not believe that the State of Indiana could afford to refuse payment of an honest debt. His vote and the announcement of the result were received with applause by the many ladies who were in the Senate during the discussion of the bill. The friends ot the measure believe that sufficient votes can be obtained to pass it through the Senate.

THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. Mr. Bchloss' bill [6. 330J to appropri*

ate $26,000 a year to the State Normal ScLool was read the second time. Mr. Campbell of Hendricks—A bill has been fully considered by the friends ot th? school, wbieh I offer as a substitute, proposing to raise tbe $25,000 by special tax.

Mr. Youcbe thought a provision to teke this out of tbe general fund would be the proper way to make the appropriation.

Mr. Fowler—This bill ought not to be engrossed. It seems to have tor its object the appropriation out of the 16 per cent, levy for common school purposes. That is part of the common school fund of the state. This 16 per cent levy has the same object as the common school fund, and this bill proposes to divert $25,000 of that fund to this one school at Terre Haute, and this divis on might be made to other schools in the state until all the common school fund is absorbed in that way. The bill should be amended so that the money shall come from the general fund. Twenty thousand dollars is all the Legislature ought to appropriate.

Mr. Foulke—The State Normal School is an adjunct to tbe common schoo system of tbe state. There is no way in which the common school system can be aided better than by furnishing good and trained teachers. This sohool is growing from year to year, and will need larger appropriations as the years roll by.

Mr. Mcintosh—It would be wrong to pass this bill. This bill comes directly in the line of diverting the common school fund from the purposes for which it was intended.

Mr. Overetee*—I don't know why it is those large salaries are pnid. In a college in our town there are professors who do as good work as any ic the state on a salary of $1,000 a year. I have heard no good reason stated why there is £5,000 more asked for than heretofore. I want to give them enough, but desire to bear a good reason for tbe additional appropriation.

Mr. Youche—This bill would be taking away 5,000 days of schooling from tLe children of this state.

Mr. Campbell—It would make such a slight difference in the terms of the school in the state that it is thought to be less objectionable than to take the fund as proposed. These in charge are indifferent as to what tund the appropriation comes lrom. The trustees of this institution are the be&t judges of tbe money needed to carry it on. More is needed now than at first, of course. It the appropriation is too much, tell us wLy.

Pending this discussion the Senate a journed till 9 &0 o'clock this morning.

1

Both branches of the General Assembly, upon reconvening to-day, will doubtless take steps to expedite tbe business of the remainder of the session. Three sittings daily, morning, afternoon and night, will be held by the Senate, and, perhaps, by tbe House. The members who have pet measures which they are anxious to s6e passed have manifested a willingness to work harder and longer henceforth to accomplish the desired result. The House during the week will complete its consideration ot the appropriation bill and concur, no doubt, in the Senate amendments to the deficiency bill. The apportionment matter will be reached and finally disposed ot at an early date. The triends of the metropolitan police bill hope to push it through during the week.
