CoBKraspoNDENTa for the weekly GAZETTE must write their communications plainly and only on one' side of the paper. If they will bear this in mind it will save considerable trouble, t-

PITTSBURG is proposing to build thitf spring five furnaces, conveniently scatstored over the city for the burning of garbage. Are the fields and farms so rich that they would be injured by being covered with this valuable fertilizer which it is proposed to burn?

ASUCCBSSOK to

S. S. Cox, ex-minister

to Turkey, has been found in the person of Oscar S. Strauss of New York. Mr. Strauss is of Hebrew origin and possesses fine literary attainments. He was president of. the Cleveland and Hendricks Business Men's Club of New York city during the last campaign.^

LEWIS H. STANTON, of Morris, Minn. «on of Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of, War in President Lincoln's cabinet, has turned'over all his father^ papers to ieo. C. Gorham who is to write his biography. Gorham was once Secretary of the ynited States Senate. He comes from California. His present home is "Washington, the people of California having wearied of his crooked political methods and utterly repudiated him. He never performed any literary work of merit. His selection for this task is mistake he is not equal to it.

IF ever the tax on whiskey ABD tobacco is repealed it will be by a union of the tariffites, who want to destroy all sources of revenue except the tariff in order to make th«t a perpetual. necessii%y, and the prohibitionists, who object to the manufacture and s'ale of whiskey being legalized, as they call it, by being taxed. Liquor and tobacco ought to furnish three-fourths of the revenue needed and customs dues on about a dozen articles the rest. To repeal the tax on whiskey and tobacco, or to redace it, would be a blunder* gross as almost to be a crime.

THB borings for the gas well aho what, however, no one in Terre Haute was ignorant of before, that our prairie city is underlaid with a thick vein of coal of exoellent quality. So much coal abounds all around us that there is no likelihood in the near or even remote fatare of the foundations of our buildlags being endangered by having this «aatn removed. But if we should ever "be besieged: what then? If the towns surrounding us should be seized with au unreasonable hatred and invest the city AS the Germans invested Pans in 1870 we might in a pinch avoid at least one of the causes of suffering \fhich made the siege nnendurable to the Parisians sad led to the surrender. According to, 15. B. Washburne, U. S. minister to France and in Paris during the siege the titter failure of the supply of fuel during the cold winter weather added to the horrors of the situation. But with Terre Haute besieged that matter could be overcome easily enough. Each of could dig his little hole in the back yard and get out his own supply of coal, ft wouldh't be quite as handy as going to the coal ho'ise for it. but it tfould possess no mean advantage over the present system fn doiug away with that obdurate middleman, the coal dealer.

MAYOR CABTBB H. HARRISON* of Chicago, is conducting himself alter, a very queer fashion. Before the Democratic oity convention he deolined -to state whether or not he was a candidate for a renomination, but rather left it to be inferred he was not. When the convention met he was nominated anyway, over several other candidates, one of whom in particular, expected to get it. and was very angry when he was defeated. At first Harrison declined. Pressure was brought to bear on him and he then accepted. Later he peremptorily declined, giving his reasons in a very foolish letter addressed to the oity committee. In this letter he gives as his reasons for positively refusing to make the race that Cregier, the man who was expecting the nomination, accused him of treachery and would not support him and that one Wm. 0. Goudy, whom be (Harrison) asserts, without any reason as far as he can see, represents the national administration in Chicago, is opposed to him. At aby rate he is off the track and in the manner of his getting off has managed to tangle everything up so that it will be impossible for the party to eleot its ticket no matter who the nominee may be. Considering all the party has done for him his conduct smacks of the basest ingratitude.

FATHER BOWDAJUD, of the Conventual chapel at New Orleans, has been engaging lately in the faith cure practice, and it is said has effected some wonderful cures. Whether he has ever tackled a oas^of rheumatism and downed it is not mentioned. j^-When Father Bowdard's Bishop hfekfd of the new branch of business he had added to his priestly duties he read the riot act to him and told him to stop his nonsense. From this it would appear that the levelheaded Bishop took no stook in the Priest's alleged cureq by faith.

THERE is no oity in the United States of the size, business advantages and prbspeots of Terre Haute where real estate is so low It is the time for persons wishing to procure ground on whioh to build a home to invest. Prices are sure to advance and really the' wonder is that that tbey are not higher than they are now. Nothing offers so good a chance for making money. Ground cannot get cheaper than it is and must become dearer.

THE greatest April fool joke ever per petrated will be that played on the railroad deadheads of high and low degree by the Inter-State Commerce Bill. On and after April 1st they must pay, walk or stay at home. 'J sr#

New Goshen.

NEW GOSBEN, Ind., March 31- -[GAZETTE speoial]—A big meeting commenced at Rose Hill last Saturday night The news stand of our bmrg is flourishing. -John Huff talks of going to California to start a sheep ranch. W. T. Pittenger was in town Saturday night and informed us that Huram is improving. Mervin McCollough is improving rapidly. John Pritchett starts to hi3 work again today. John says the R. & T. H. is a dandy.

It is reported that some of the boys met in Charley Whitlock's sugar camp and did then and there cook and boil and,otherwise mutilatechicken and eggs. We are authorized to say it is in every respeot an icfamous lie. A party of young folks met at John Denehier's last Thursday night and enjoyed themselves by tripping the light fantastic until quite a late hour.-:—The exhibition at Shank's Bchool house last Thursday night was quite a success and great credit is accorded to the participants, but not to some Jof the audience, who acted very obstreperous. The M. R. A. C. M. are going to give an entertainment some time in the near future and it will, we think, be good, as the society has some good talent in that respeot and members who will spare neither pains or expense to make it a success. *••*, V-R.

How To Cure a Boy of CrouD Mrs. Samuel Nutt, of South Haven, Kansas, tells how she saved the life of her boy.

I have been using Allock's JtWous Plasters for the lsst tea years, principally for a week back. Not long ago I found my son very much iuclined to croup. He had a croupy oough, and a wheezing sound in his lungs every time he breathed. He nearly died from the obstruction of the throat. I covered him from the throat to the pit of the stomach with Allock's Porous Plasters. In two hours the oough ceased and hiq, breathing was much easier. In a few dayB he was entirely well. I kept the Allook's Porous Plasters on him six days. Since then, whenever he is effected with oolds in the throat I never use anything but an Allook's Porous Plaster, which cures Jbtim immediately, without any inconvemenoe. They are the best breventive of the croupt ever known, and I would not be without them for any consideration.

Take in the Messenger Boys, Evansville Journal: In Terre Haute there is an organization that was formed for the purpose of providing a home for boolblacks aud newsboys, where they can be kept aloof from improper influences. It is modeled "on similar institutions in the larger cities. It would be a good idea to have an institution of that kind here for bootblacks, newsboys aud district messenger boys, some of whom need such infiaenoes and restraints.
