whereof he was writing
The talented Indiana correspondent Of tae
Cincinnati Gazette furnished yesterday =
issue OF that PAPER with twelve-column;
concerning Morton. But he was
not able to tell all he knows about the sub
ject in so short sketch. However, there
is enough to indicate that the war governor
would like to assume the recumbent In the
presidential chair.
Don Carlos is considerste and generous.
he proposes truce that he may unite his
forces with those of Alfonso in the event of
American interference with Cuban affairs.
However, he still refuses TO relinquish his
right to the crown of Spain. He claims that
he merely sinks selfishness in patriotism.
If Don Carlos were an American politician
Postmsster-General Jewell has not a very
secure setting in the cabinet. He has been
guilty of several very grave offenses against
the administration. BE so far forgot his DC
sition as to attempt to remove q dishonest
official in his department who happened 10
be personal friend of the president. Then
he has offended such of the presidents pets
as Senator Spencer, Ben. Butler and Boss
Shepherd. His retirement from the cabinet,
therefore, may be anticipated.
Judge Treat, of the United States Court
sitting in judgment on the st. Louis ring
masters, has issued an order TO the marshal
to bring before the bar of his court all par
ties who find anything funny enough to
laugh about in the court room during the
trial. Stern justice can't see any fun in
such stealing as has been INDUCED in at st.
Louis. So far as heard from none of the de-
fendants have been arrsigned for laughing
In court.
One of our prominent city pastors LAST
Sunday preached popular sermon on the
subject of swearing, and the Sentinel Sc
cured the manuscript. The piety of the
printers was sorely tried by the writing, and
some of them are said to have Welded to the
vice so strongly inveighed against in the
copy that they were working upon. How
ever, they plead justification, and ask that
the question be submitted to any committee
of Christians for arbitration.
In speaking of Mr.. Filbeck as being understood
TO be republican, the Sentinel evidently does
not understand the true inwardness of political
affairs here in Terre Haute.-Terre Haute Jour-
nal.
Will the medical experts of Terre Haute
have the kindness to trepan the Journal
editors skull that joke may penetrate his
brain? The mere announcement that Mr..
Filbeck is a postmaster would have
indicated to anybody else, beyond doubt,
that he Is also republican.
The associated press agent at Omaha has q
talent for finding news that should secure
his promotion. If a man pulls gun out of
a wagon muzzle first. he is sure to hear of il
in day or two, ard the telegraph editors
are promptly appraised of the fact. If barn
is burnt he is on the scene and flashes the
freak of the fiery fiend over the wires from
one end of the land to the other with pro-
voking precision. If be were transferred to
the fruitful fields of Indiana he would make
bis mark in the world. There is rich mine
in that line in this state, and it has never
been worked. The associated press agents
in Indiana lack energy and evidently have
San for he Ao
agent be turned loose in Indiana?
Terre Hgute is again all tore IN by ex-
cess of modesty. Messrs. McKeen & Min
shall, the bankers, gentlemen of exquisite
taste well rare financial ability, are
erecting bank building that would be an
to any city. The structure Is now
nearly completed. Surrounding its dome

L. is classical statue, but the
wise people there claim that it is not chaste,
the fig leaf being defective in development.
All day Saturday the worldly young men
Of the town gathered In groups on the
corner of Sixth and Main streets. and
winked at each other as they gszed sloft on
the nobby but nude figure. The more
modest of the men and the elderly msidens
however, passed by with averted faces and
down cast eyes. and didn't look up until
they were secure from the gaze OF the
worldly wise in the post Office lobby, where
an unobstructed and uncbserved view could
be had OF the Objectionable object. The
classical editor of the Journal saw that the
Terre Hsutentots were not well acquainted
with Mr.. Mercury, so he introduces him as
follows:
''The statue represents Mercury, of whom
Horner, in his Odyssey, speaks, etc."
The mere mention of "Horner's" name
