TERRE IIAUTE.. IND., SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1903.

Daily Average for December

At first blush it might appear that Governor Dulbin had exercised something in nowise akin to'modesty in urging the legislature to make an Appropriation for the erection of an executive mansion at Indianapolis.,-' It should be considered, ljowqver, that should such an appropriation be made the mansion would hardly be cpmpleted before the expiration of Governor Du-rbin's term pf office. Tlie suggestion was evidently made in all unselfishness and inspired by the hope that his successor iriay fare irt this regard more fortunately than, he himself.

The commission that is investigating the anthracite coal strike is -reported as sore puzzled. The miners sire strenuously insisting that an eight hour limit be placed on work, yet all the evidence goes to show that it is the rarest thing in the world that they work over five or six hours. The commission during.its inv^tigations lias discovered that there are two sides to the question and that both sides are wrong. The commissioners are consequently perfectly willing that the warring parties adjust their differences out of court.

Indianapolis is making a pplendid effort to raise the $250,D00 necessary for the building of a eolosseum large enough to accommodate a national political convention or any other representative or delegate body likely to assemble in the COUJItry. Indianapolis is geographically the logical convention city of tho United States and it is sincerely to be hoped that the patriotic movement of her citizens, in the direction mentioned will have a perfect fruition in the success of the endeavor.

," Tho Kentucky Supreme court, or court of appeals, has changed its political complexion and is now composed of five Democrats and two Republicans. The change has encouraged the notorious Tom. Campbell to ask a rehearing in the Caleb

Powers case and while it is highly improbable that the court will grant it, the impression nevertheless prevails that hereafter tho persecutions in the odious Goebel case will be gleefully sustained by the commonwealth's highest court.

.The movement looking to the introduction of jtoaruetion in manual training in the Terre Haute public schools merits all encouragement. .JjJUpjj instruction lit public schools is no longer in thp expenmehtivl stage, |t. is an established and ap» proved success and has led liuvny an aimless boy into a life's work of usefulness and happiness. But while thus providing for the boys what is the matter with an up-to-date course •in domestic science for the girls, God bless 'em?

It is sincerely to be regretted that the Republicans the Colorado legislature saw fit to effect a commercial cottiprotniBe with the Democrats, thus rendering impossible the election of Mn Walcott to the United States senate. There is some solace, however.- in. the reflection that the chances seem delightfully bright for the retirement to private life of that

antiquated tairi barrel, Henry M. Teller.

The Indianapolis papers make no pretense of hiding the

seriousness bf the smallpox situation in that city. Scores of deaths have occurred and there are hundreds of maligilant cases, the disease having made rapid gains within the last few days. Jilst at present. Indianapolis is a good place to stay away from. This is in the nature of a quiet tip to gents who .want jobs in the legislature.

The movement of tho Terre Hilute merchants against the Shop lifters is one that is highly commendable. The practice In this city lias become so common that it has proved not only intolerably expensive for store-keepers, but also annoying to innocent shoppers, who necessarily are subject to the watchful surveillance that every merchant is obliged to employ as a means of self defence.

Attorney General Knox is decidedly in line with public opinion in suggesting as a curl) to trusts the complete abolition of the system of discriminatory transportation rates. Through favoring rates many corporations have come to prosperity anu power and unjust discrimination has brought imany a. nourishing business into the receiver's hands. If the Ifederal government make a determined effort to enforce the principles o| faiispjay and equal, rights through the medium of the inter-state commerce law one of the greatest evils of trust rule will'eventually be eliminated.

The citizens of Putnam county are to decide by an election wnether or not they shall have a new court house.

Every once in awhile when Judge Cantrill of Kentucky suffers from an attack of gout or tremens he issues a bench warrant for the arrest of Finley and Taylor. By reason of frequent repetition and old age the little joke has lost all its savor, even in the booze belt of the dark and bloody ground.

Congressman Hemenway is still flirting with-.the gubernatorial race and in answer to direct questions merely announces that he "is undecided."' Considering the large number of excellent gentlemen who are squirming on the aiixioua seat, Mr. Hemenway should either shoot or give up the gun.

Governor Ehirbin's message tnight possibly ^ftave given more attention to the work of the commissioner of forestry in Indiana, considering the growing importance of that work. The commendation given was rather perfunctory and hardly in keeping with the proportions of the subject.

The interests of the Republican party in the legislature will not suffer while James F. Stutesman acts as floor leader. Mr. Stutesman couples with long experience in the house a native force and talent which render him an invaluable asset of,the Republican party in the legislature.

The senators from Vigo county seem to have farad passing well in their assignment to committees of importance, a graceful tribute to their ability, which is peculiarly emphasized by the fact that both gentlemen refrained from seeking places.

Can't Mayor Steeg excuse a few of his policemen from attendance at prize fights long enough for them to run over and tip it off to the natives of our new insular possessions how wrong rooster fighting is?

About the only cock-sure bit of legislation promised is the separation of the woman's prison and the girls' industrial school, a reform so urgently demanded as to smother opposition.

Major Steele denies that he lias vice presidential aspirations, but as yet has not refused to consider the position of commandant at the Marion soldiers' home.

Well, wipe the blood and hair off the floor and call the uext prize fight. ......

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.

Our Future Diplomacy.

It was Henry Worton who, in 1012, set down in a, friend's autograph book the following merry definition, as lie called it? "An ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the commonwealth." But times have changed since then. It is no longer necessary for a diplomatist to do violence to his conscience. He is now almost entirely an ornamental personage. His principal duties are—to appear at formal functions, to be affable, to make graceful after-dinner speeches,, to pay the -right sort of compliments, to unveil monuments, to accept honorary degrees from foreign universities, and to spend more than his salary on entertaining. In the case of our, representatives it is necessary further to endure the agony of appearing in evening dress in the daytime.

A curious piece of testimony to the change that has come about in international relations was furnished the other day by Sir Edmund Monson, the British ambassador to the French republic. Speaking at a dinner in Paris he said that when he entered the service he realized that the old doctrine that it was base to lie for one's self, venial to lie for on's friend, but a duty under some circumstances to. lie fortune's country had been exploded.

At that time, however, he still believed that ambassadors were in the possession of a knowledge of real mysteries and had an influence on events to an extent that was unsuspected by people at large. By degrees he came to the conclusion that this must be regarded as a fiction. The ambassadpr was important in the old days when there was a scantiness of means of information about foreign countries. *But the railroad, the telegraph, and, above all, the newspaper correspondent, had changed all that.

Political secrets are no longer to be picked up in high society. The ambassador who sent information to his government found that it had been forestalled by those whose busings it was to collect the news and convey it to the world at large through their, newspapers. To the "accuracy and dispatch" of these correspondents King Edward's ambassador paid a warm tribute. "Yes,'" said lie, "it is to the gentleman of th.6

-hat

serious change

the character of diplomacy

is,- by no means in a slight degree, due. We cannot compete with them in the daily transmission of local and special intelligence. Many of these able men have still further invaded the field of our functions, and transmit by telegraph to the great journals which they represent their own enlightened comments upon current political events or official utterances and actions."

Sid Edmiittd Monson is bf the opinion that in the future diplomatists will he more and more like commercial agents, questions of trade being the principal cause of difficulty. Under such circumstances what is called the ''new or "American diplomacy" should have a free field for makitig itself felt.

INSURANCE MENWATCH

SUGGEST FEW MEASURES TO INDIANA LEGISLATURE

ASSIST INDIANA' CONCERNS

Restrictive Policy Here Has Resulted In Other States Adopting the Self Same Tactics,

Now that the Legislature is in session the insufance men of the State are bestirring themselves. Rough Notes, the state insurance paper, says in the current issue:

Company managers !and agents generally exhibit symptoms of unrest as the season for legislative sittings approaches. There are also signs of activity, observable only by insurance men, holding themselves in readiness to aid in repelling attacks upon the people by such of their representatives fts annually attack existing insurance laws, or attempt to change them for the worse, either for personal motives or through mistaken ideas of their ability to serve their constituents. Heretofore from forty to fifty instance bills have been before the Indiana legislature at each of its last several sessions and! many are the queries regarding the planting and the prospective harvest of insurance bills during the coming session.

Fortunately for the people of Indiana, its legislature has had the good sense to kill off most of the bad bills it had to consider in the past, but has done little in the way of reform. What it did in this direction has been for the advancement of Indiana insurance interests. The enactment of the reserve deposit law in 1890 was the beginning of the upbuilding of Indiana life insurance companies upon a sound basis, resulting in the accumulation of about $2,000,000 of approved securities held in the State as custodian for the security of policy holders. This 'lias afforded Indiana companies the required basis of credit that enables them to conduct their business in all other states from which they were barred before they placed themselves upon the -financial basis required by the law.

The condition of fire insurance in Indiana is such that it appeals to the legislature for careful consideration and for the adoption of a few wise measures. The State has long pursued a restrictive policy to its own harm, which, if continued, toill serve to cripple its own insurance interests, they are now so promis ing that it should strive to encourage and strengthen them. There is a lack of fire insurance canital working in this State,—and especially canital of the companies of other states. This is diminishing instead of increasing, as we have shown elsewhere, with reason: therefore restrictions should be removed, tares reduced and every facility should be afforded for the sound companies of other states to enter Indiana artd transact, btisi ness as free «from restrictions aft possible without lowering the standard of security in order that, abundance of capital may be seeilred with the same, safeguards renuired by other states.

Regarding the restrictive and! expensive policy of Indiana, it handicaps its own companies now seeking broader fields of operation than this State affords.. For, be it remembered, that with what measure of restriction and taxation Indiana applies to the companies of other states, the same measure is applied to Indiana companies in whatever 9tate they apiply for admission to do business. The law of reciprocity now universal, SO far as relates to insurance, is the button the Indiana legislature touches when it imposes hard conditions upon the companies of other states. These states "do the rest" when Indiana companies ask for privileges.

NEW WALSH PROJECT

TRUNK LINE PROM CINCINNATI TO KANSAS CITY

WOULD BE FREIGHT FACTOR

Matter Seems to be taking Definite Shape Along Lines First -,F'J Announced.

feri)

If reports are true,. John R. Walsh, who Controls the Southern Indiana road instead of planning direct route from South em Indiana to Chicago, contemplates a direct line between Cincinnati and Kansas City. At the present time there is no very direct line between the cities named, and if the road is built it will be for the Sante Fe and will become another transcontinental line between the East and West. According to the route mapped' out, the line will be 6D0 miles in length. The shortest line to Kansas City from Cincinnati is now by the Baltimore and Southwestern and the Wabash, 622 miles. Mr. Walsh is credited with having said that it is true he is building a line in Missouri, but whether or not it will stop at Brunswick or become part of any large system he declines to say. The road now known as the Southern Indiana extends from Terre Haute to Westport, a distance of 148 miles, has a capital of $3,500,000 and bonded indebtedness of $7,545,000, making total liabilities $11,045,000, over $62,000 per mile. Last year Mr. Walsh began extending the Southern Indiana toward Kansas City, contracting for an extension from Chester, 111., to Bismarck, Mo. Twenty-eight miles of the road was constructed last year, and it is stated that the present year it will be pushed vigorously. Another extension of the same line is from Elnora to Evansville, paralleling a portion of the Evansville & Terre Haute road. To complete a new route from Cincinnati to Kansas City, it would be necessary to extend the Indiana division a distance of sixty miles from Westport to Cincinnati and extend the mileage of the Southern Illinois 250 miles beyond Bismarck, Mo. This would make the mileage of the new roadCincinnati to Westport, yet to be built. 60 miles Westport to Terre Haute, 148 miles Terre Haute to Salem, 100 miles Salem to Chester, 87 miles Chester to Bismarck, partly built, 45 miles Bismarck to Kansas City, 250 miles, irtaking a total of 690 miles.. Those who are supposed to be authorities on the matter state that the Sante Fe is behind the movement, and by building about 60 miles could also get into St. Louis, where it would be in a position to compete for freight business from St. Louis to Cincinnati and many other Eastern points. While this is in some respects a rumored project there are those who believe that such a line will be built.

More Hickey Stores.

The Hickey grocery corporation is planning to open a number of other stores in the city within a short time. The Diekemper store at No. 704 South Third street has been taken and another new retail store will be started at Thirteenth and Liberty avenue, in a building recently purchased by Mr. Hickey.
