A BRzvEr BRIeADnR has long article
in the Press, telling what the soldiers
require" If they could answer, they
would say they do not require the services
of their late officers to teach them their
political duties. The soldiers have not
quite so much respect for shoulder-straps,
or even complimentary stars, % some of
the lucky possessors OF these ornaments
would have the public believe.

before the House the matter which had Claimed
his attention and which had been subject of
conversation among the members. It was well
known that both political parties had cOnven-
tons at which candidates were nominated It
has been suggested that this word convention

pose one amendment to the constitution by
which the body would hererfter be recognized

- Tha Oourier thinka ua did rres

D% The Courier thinks we did great
injustice to "a merchant of this city who
is as highly respected "a he is enter
prising as business man." BY calling
attention to the condition of the dilapi-
dated brick building, corner of Locust
and Water street.
When We penaed the item VS. did not
really know, or had forgotten, to whom
the property belonged. Our attention
had frequently been called to the con-
dition of the building by old citizens,
who ere also as highly respected as they
are enterprising in business, and had
again been called to 1t few moments
before we wrote the article in question,
by highly respected and euterprising
citizen, and q man of good Judgment
and approved sagacity. No man of
sense can look at the exterior of the
building and say that it presents q
strong or safe appearance. We don't
know what the responsibility or the en-
terprise in business has TO do with the
strength of building, but it may be
that dangerous and dilapidated build
ing, becomes safe and ornamental By
being owned by man of that character.
We hope, however, that the city au-
thorities viii have such an examination
of the premises made 90 will satisfy
them that the approximations of many of
our citisens, and of all strangers who
pass that way, are not we founded
We have NO motive, coald have no mo-
uss' In tnis matter, except TO consult
tina public safety and welfare.

CLosING Day GooDs SToREs-A Coon
ExAMPLE.-In response o an appeal
made BY large number of the dry
goods clerks of Terre Haute to their
employers, nine of the leading retail
houses Of that city have published card
announcing that their stores will here
after be closed at half past six o'clock
each evening, from the LIST of December
to the 1st of Marah. Would it not be
wellif our retail merchants would fol-
low this example2 Young men who
commence business at o'clock in the
morning need recreation and rest, as
well as time to devote to the improve
ment of their minds and to the society of
their family and friends. We have not
consulted with the young men of the va
rious dry goods establishments of the
city on this subject, but make
the suggestion on our own responsibility.
And what is true of the dry goods clerks
is equally true of clerks, salesmen, and
book-keepers in other branches OF bust
nsss Eleven hours and half are
enough for any man to devote to BUSH
ness, unless it be the local editor of a
daily paper, who is expected, of course,
to run "a hours day, when necessary,
to furnish news to his multitudinous
readers, and any local editor who is IN.
willing to do that should quit the bust,
ness and go to aCork.
