Terre Haute Democrats Against n Charter.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 19-The exhi-
bition Of peanut politics in tie Council,
Tuesday night. has served to increase the
popular desire for q new charter for the
city, but at about the same time the four
councilmen bolted the meeting to break o
quorum there was q private meeting ct
Democratic leaders at which the scheme to
get q special charter was virtually aban-
doned. There had been no reason to be-
lieve charter. after the plan of the Indi-
annapolis law would be unacceptable to the
large majority of the people of all parties.
There was no indication of active OpDOsi-
tion before the Legislature, and nothing TO
cause this abandonment other than the
party greed and selfishness of few of the
leaders They would like charter that
would give them control of the power and
patronage now held under the metropolitan
police law.

A Blow to Both the Sherman
Law and Free Coinage Ideas.

Washing, June 20.-Secretary
Herbert was asked to-day:
"What do you think of the pre-
sent situation as to silvery
Il think that the stoppage of
the coinage of silver in India is
the greatest blow that has ever
been given to the Sherman law
and to the free coinage of silver.
The free coinage of silver in India
has been pointed to as an object
lesson by advocates of free coinage
in this country. For ten years
men in Congress have drawn one
lesson and another from India
looking at it from different points
of view. 1t has been urged upon
the farmers that India had an adj
vantage over the United States in
a higher price for wheat because
the currency in India was all sill
yer, ignoring the fact that while
they might get more for wheat in
their own currency the price in
gold was no greater, and the COM
modities they bought with the
money they got for their wheat
had to be paid for on a gold basis
and still further overlooking the
loss through his exchange. An
other argument often repeated
still in support of free coinage in
this country, but the converse of
this, has been for years that the
reason for the heavy cost of ex-
change between India and Eng
land was that it was kept up by
England for the benefit of Eng
lish merchants that they might
say the very life out of India.
Now the coinage of silver there is
voluntarily stopped with the con-
sent of India, and it tumbles over
both these arguments that the sill
yer currency was a benefit to the
farmers of India and that the ex-
change was on a system for the
benefit of England.
'Do you think the silver ques-
ton presents a serious danger to
the Democratic party in this
time?
Il think we have reached a cri-
sis and that the party in power
will be judged by the wisdom
they show in giving the nation a
sound currency Times-Demo-
crat.

Gov. Altgeld and the Ar
o chists.

Anarchists over the world are
elated by the pardon of Fielden,
Neebe and Schwab by Governor
John P. Altgeld, of lllinos. A de-
monstration is announced to take
place in New York next Thursday,
July 4, to celebrate what is regar-
ded as great victory for the
Reds"
Among those who are not Anar-
chists or sympathizers of that
class of free hooters in society,
the action of Gov. Altgeld is just
ly condemned.
The finding of the trial court in
the case of Anarchists was appro-
we'd by the Supreme Court of ILL
nois and the Supreme Court of
the United States.
Policemen in discharge of their
duty and inoffensive citizens were
killed and manned by dynamite
bomb and other deadly weapons
in the hands of an organized band
who had deliberately determined
to defy the laws of the country in
which they we're allowed to find a
home and freedom from oppres-
sion; the leaders in the movement
we're arrested, proven to have par
ticipated in the murders and to
have melted the members of the
society of assassins to a state of
frenzied desperation: they we're
convicted after a long and fair
trial. Parsons, Spies, Engel and
Louis Lingg we're hanged, and
Fielder, Schwab and Neebe were
sent to the Illinois Penitentiary
at JOlliet-Schwab and Neebe for
life and Fielden for fifteen years.
Now it transpires that Governor
Altgeld is a native of Prussia and
the question is being seriously de-
bated as to whether he is a legally
naturalized citizen of this country.
If he is, We most emphatically say
he is not a good citizen. Should
it be known that he is not-al-
though such condition of affairs
does not seem possible-the re-
lease of the Anarchists was not
lawful release, because the Cover
nor, not being a citizen of the Un-
tied States, is not clothed with the
power to do an official act of that
or any other nature. But, pre-
Stunning the act of release to be le-
galiy perfect, the country has been
thoroughly aroused over the exer-
else of the clemency of the Execu-
tive.
He is everywhere denounced as
an enemy of law and order, and
has arrayed himself against the
constituted authorities of Illinois
and the United States. He must
have left uneasy as to the effect of
his action, since he used over IT,
600 words in trying to justify il.
He has committed terrible mis-
take, its consequences will be far
reaching and evil; and reopen
avenues that can but lead to the
unsettling and disquieting of the
public mind as to the future of a
country where organized defers
of law are tolerated and their
bloody hands upheld by those in
high places.-The Daily Item.
