FRIDAY, APBIL 23,1888.

One of Mr. Cleveland's new United Statee commissioners has been indicted by the Coles county, Ills., grand jury. Turn the rascals out.

Mr. Gould told the committee yesterlay that he believed that "voluntary arbitration would be better—more sought for than compulsory arbitration." That is about the way Jay Gould has always looked upon "compulsory" laws—to be "sought for" only when they would answer his purpose.

Mr. Garland says he is a poker player, but judging from the persistency with which he holds on to that cabinet portfolio, he has not learned the great secret of success in playing the poker cardthat is, to lay down a good hand, and drop out of the game when your judgment tells you that if you insist on being called, you will retire with less grace.

Jay Gould talked like a martyr yesterday. Not so in 1873 when he testified as follows before the Erie investigating committee:

I do not know how much I paid towards helping frien ily men. Wo had four states to lo ik after, and we had to suit our politics to circumstances. In a democratic district I was a democrat, and iH a republican district was a republican, and in a doubtful district was doubtful but in every district, and at all times, I have always been an Erie man.

The result of the April elections has increased the demand for offices by demo crats and the news from Washington that the president will be more yielding hereafter. The bourbon democracy says it must be recognized and points to the revolution in Wisconsin cities, where Vilas and Bragg have been putting half hearted democrats in office. From nearly every city in that state democrats sent messages of congratulation to the postrepuDncau victories.

The "Cow party" is the newest politi cal organization. The first ticket put the field bv this party was at Princeton this state, Monday night. The object the party is to secure the unrestrained liberty of tbe cow. A city ticket was nominated, and the municipal election will turn on the question whether cows are to be permitted to run at large in the streets. The necessity for putting a ticket jn the field can not be appreciated here, where all parties are opposed to letting cows go as they please before the election but quietly ignore the cow nuisance when in office.

The Hon. Thomas E. Cobb, congress' man from the Vincennes district, says he will not be a candidate for renomination for a filth term because his wife is sick and his private business demands his attention. Mr. Cobb promised in his third term to step out of the way of younger men. He repeated the promise in his fourth term. A third violation of his pledge would be disastrous to him Besides he couldn't get the nomination this year if he wanted it. There is noth ing like the good luck that falls to the lot of some men and Mr. Cobb should be thankful thet his wife is sick and his pri vate affairs in bad shape.

The Western Export Association, better known as the "Whisky Pool," is undergoing one of its periodica] processes of raorganization. About four times a year the report is sent out that the pool is about to break that it can not "hang togetherthat there is no hope ot tying up to the distillers again, etc. The fact is that disruptions are part of the programme. The whisky pool is operated on the theory of the survival of the fittest. The grinding out process hap pens to reach a critical point about every quarter and the ripple of excitement is only the surface indication that some weak brother is unable to keep afloat.

The president is quite anxious to get on record in the labor discussion. He either is not well up in congressional proceedings or chooses to ignore the fact that legislation is pending covering all the points in his recommendation.

The only significant fact in connection with the special menage to congress is the recognition of the right of congress to in anyway take part in the disputes between capital and labor. Indeed those persons who believe in the principle that it is no ones business what an employer pays his employee, and that any eflort to discuss the relations of the wage-worker to the wage-payer as a" feature of political economy is presumptions, will be much shocked at this interference on the part of tbe president and congress.

The "executive committees" which have been mismanaging the strikes forget in their power that they are not only violating a public sense of fair play by "ordering ont" uien who have no griev-

If any person shall by threat, intimidation, or unlawful interference seek to preyent any other person from working or obtaining work at any lawful basinees, or on any terms that he may fif, such person so offending shall be fined not exceedidg $200.1

As Mr. Pow Jerly said the other day at Washington the law is, of course, far above any labor organiz*tion. It must be respected, and the Knights, if they looked ahead for the well being of their order, would see "that nothing could so vitally affect its existence as disregard of law.

The pity is that Powderly, knowing this, would advise persistence in wrong doing.

THE LITTLE JOKER CREW.

They Return From the Upper Wabash— Beautiful Scenery and a Good Time The Little Joker crew has returned from the trip on the upper Wabash and several tributaries. "The crew left with the intention of exploring the Tippecanoe, but were doomed to disappointment, that is if they thought of going very far up that river. They proceeded about two and a half miles, when they found their passage obstructed bv a fish ,d*"i niuuiA oi tne stream is a large island, above the large island are several smaller islands or "tow heads." The large island is heavily timbered, and is a romantic spot. The water of the river is clear, aud there many deep holes and rocky places where fcreat sport could be found fishing. The scenery around the mouth of the Tippecanoe' is beautiful. They paid a visit to the battle ground, and to the high bluffs opposite the mouth of (he Tippecanoe. On the way down they stopped at Black Bock, a romantic spot between Lafayette and Attica. At Williamsport they stopped to see the falls. A short distance above where a small creek empties into the river, it plunges over a precipice seventy-five feet high, falling in a cloud of spray below. The falls are said to resemble the famous Yosemite falls. At the mouth of the Big Vermillion the boat was turned up that stream, and proceeded to the dam of tbe Ejgene Ice company, about two miles and half above the mouth of that river. The Big Vermillion is sluggish and dee and undoubtedly is good fishing jjrouni The entire party unite in declaring that there is a great deal of beautiful scenery between Terre Haute and Lafayette. This is the first steamboat trip between Terre Haute and Lafayette in years.

MONOPOLY IN OIL

HOW IT HAS B2KN MAHTTAIHED.

Testimony Given la the Salt Against tbe Like Shore Road Showing That the Stsndard Company Has

Been Favored With

7 Rebates.

Special to the Chicago Daily News. CLEVELAND, O., April 17.—It was an oilman who had been vehemently addresesing a little knot of interested wheat men on the floor of the board of trade. When he had cooled off somewhat I took him aside and said: Yon have made strong statements about the Standard Oil company—" "The Standard devil fish, you mean." "I wiil not difenss titles to-day. All I wish to know is this: Do you know anything to the point, or is this all wind "Come here!" he led me down-stairs, up street and into his office. Then he locked the door and made a speech. "I won't attempt," said he, "to go into any history of the Standard Dev Oil company, for the public knows that pretty well. But I would like to give you some points that came recently under my observation. The Chicago Daily

News, you say? Well, that suits me. will point you a moral concerning certain transactions that have occurred between the Standard and that other corporation known as the Lake Shore & Michigan railroad company—involving an unjust war on men who believed that, under the laws of America and of commerce, they had a right to refine and sell oil in the markets of the world. I cannot give you the whole history. It is covered up and hidden under such devious and cunning methods has gained the certainty of such silence as the free and perhaps corrupt use of money can putchsse, that no one can do more than guess the extent of the wrong that is daily put upon a great American industry." "That is good rhetoric, but it doesn't prove anything." "Wait a minute. I have just been looking over all the papers in the recent suit of Schofield, Shurmer & Teagle, of Cleveland, to prevent that close alliance between the Standard and Lake Shore which resulted in grave discriminations in favor of the Standard, and have discovered some points that are by no means mere rhetoric. Here is the story: Some six years ago the firm above mentioned possessed a refining capacity of from 125,000 to 150,000 barrels of crude oil per annum. They were limited, however, by a contract previously entered into with the Standard, to 86,000 barrels. They finally came to the conclusion that they did not cars to allow so much of their capacity to remain idle, and forthwith gave notice to the Standard that they did not intend to pay further attention to the above-named limit. For response the Standard began suit under the contract, asking for an injunction restraining them from refining any more than that paper called for. That case was tried, and on its conclusion the court held the contract to be void, on the ground that it was against public policy,

The object of the Standard in making that contract, and many others like it, was to control the oil market and dictate prices to the consumer." "How did Schofield, Shurmer & Teagle to go into such an arrangement?" 'he inducement held out by the Standard was that the latter had an arrangement with the railroads by which the product of those acting with it was to be delivered to customers at a far lower rate than other refiners could get, and that they should be given the lowest rates afforded by the railroads. They soon found that they were not getting such rates, and the suits they afterwarc commenced against the Lake Shore brought that fact out in strong colors. Steer roaas £& weft, tfsrfe atetfraifigftijftre various pretexts, better rates to the Standard than were offered to them and to other independent refiners. As that coutse would eventually drive all compe tition out of the market the firm in 1881 commenced suit for damages against the Lake Shore road. When the taking of testimony was commenced some interesting facts were brought to light. One of its witnesses examined was John Newell president of the Lake Shore road." "A cool, diplomatic man. Very little information was got by any one out of him." ''Wait a moment. The second witness was George H. Valliant, the freight agent of the road. The information was dragged out of these gentlemen that since 1875 the Standard had received in drawbacks or rebates more than $1,000,000, these figures covering no point further west than Chicago. As to through shipments, on which even higher rates of rebate were allowed, the officials flatly refused to make any statement whatever. This fact was brought out, however, that rates were steadily lowered to the Standard as competing roads lowered their terms to the outside refiners. It was found that as soon as the Lake Shore people found that the 'Nickel Plate' people were giving as good terms to outsiders as the Lake Shore was giving to the Standard, Mr. Newell went to the 'Nickel Plate' and ofiered it a part of the Standard west-bound freight provided it would hold the outsiders up to the published rate—which was from 10 to 40 per cent, more than the Standard was paying. "Here is another method by which the Stan lard was favored: The rates charged it were on a uniform basis of eighty barrels to the .tank car, while some of the tank cars would hold fully 120 barrels. To outsiders the charge was always made on the full capacity. There were many other ways by which the Standard was favored, and it is not surprising that when the cases were tried Schofield, Sbumer & Teagle won at every point even through the Supreme court of Ohio." "With that injunction standing in the way, how do the Standard and the railroads manage to carry on the plan "A new one has taken its place. The Standard no longer fights the outsiders, but is quietly taking them in, one by one, under the shadow of its wing—a case of the lion and the lamb en the inside. Now that it has them well in hand, I am told that it is sighing for new worlds to conquer, and is reaching out for the possession of the entire oil trade of Russia and the old world. J. H. KEKNEDY."

Forty-Nine Years Ago.

"Wednesday was the forty-ninth anniversary of my arrival in Terre Haute," said Captain James Hook to an Express reporter. "Where did you hail from, Captain?" the reporter asked. "From western Pennsylvania. I came down the Ohio river and up the Wabash to Vincennes, arriving on the steamer Aid. I walked most of the way from Vincennes to Terre Haute, but secured a ride into town." "Terre Haute was qniie a small town." "Yes. The business was on Second street west of the square. There was no canal, no railroads, no telegraph, nothing but steamboats and the lumbering stage coach. I cm say there is but one building on Main street, from the river to fair grounds, that I did not see built or assisted in its construction. That building is the brick on tbe southwest corner of Second and Ma!n." "How old were you, captain, when you came here?" "A sprightly young man of 22 yean."

GOOD FRIDAY.

The lllstorjr of the Day, and Bow It Obtained It# Name. Good Friday is the anniversary of Christ's death Easter, the following Sunday, commemorates the day on which he rose from the dead. It is only in England that the term "good" is applied to the first-named day. Its ancient title was Holy Friday, or tbe Friday in Holy

Week.

The Saxons named it "Lang

Friday," both because of its long religious services and of its rigorous and protracted fast. The Germans term it sometimes "Stiller.FreUag," because bells and organs are silent that day, and sometimes "Char-Freitag," from an old word meaning penitence. As it commemorates the day on which Christ, the true Paschal Lamb, was slain, it was designated as "the pasch'* in some of the ancient eastern churches but the appellation of "pasch of the crucifixion," or "the sorrowful pasch," was soon universally applied to it by the Greeks, and it is still so called in the east and in several countries of western Europe. The early Christian writers mention it as a day of rigorous fasting and peculiar solemnity. The ritual observed both in the Greek and Latin churches has special refeiences to the circumstances of Christ's death and entombment. Hence in all large churches an altar in a separate chapel is decorated with all possible magnificence, and called "the sepulchre." Thither the consecrated host, or "body of the Lord," is borne in solemn procession on Holy Thursday, and continues to be visited throughout tbe day by crowds of woishippers. Good Friday morning, after the chanting of the prophecies foretelling Christ's death and of the recital of His paraion from the Gospel of St. John, takes place the "adoration" or kissing of the cross. A crucifix is placed on the steps before the high altar, and while the choir singB the "imDroperia" or reproaches of the Messiah to the people who ciucified Him the officiating clergy and their attendants approach barefooted, each one making three successive prostrations before they kiss the feet of tbe sacred image. It is is then presented by the celebrant at tbe sanctuary railing to the veneration of the people. In England, before the reformation, the ceremony was called the "creeping to the cross," as appears from a proclamation of Henry VIII.: "Good

Friday it shall be declared howe creeping of the cross signifyeth an humblynge of ourselfe to Christe before the crosse, and the kissynge of it a memorie of our redemption made upon the crosse." After this ceremony the consecrated host is brought in procession from "the sepulchre" to the high altar, where it is incensed, offered to the adoration of all present, ana consumed by the celebrant. This is called the "mass of the presanctified" or preconsecrated bread, as the eucharist elements are not consecrated that day. In honor of the reUemption accomplished Good Friday it was customary in the early church to release public penitents from their probation and the excommunicated from their ban. The first Christian empeiors, not satisfied with closing the law courts during holy and Easter weeks, honored the anniversary of salvation by liberating from prison and recalling from exile all but the worst criminals, and also, to encourage the practice, then becoming geaeral, of manu mitting slaves in remembrance of Christ'i death, by allowing the courts and magis trates to perfect the instruments necessary for this purpose. These customs, sanctioned by a decree of Valentinian I. in 367, were embodied by Justinian in his code. The same spirit afterwards pervaded the manners and legislation of western peoples. In England and Ireland Good Friday is a legal holiday as well as a fast day. The practice of breakfasting on hot cross-buns this day is still kept up in the English cities, and it is also common in the WoU&fiSsa-j which the principal ingredient is the "passion dock," which in fructification produces fancied representations of the cross, nails, hammer, etc. The English kings were wont in ancient times to hal low rings Good Friday to preserve the wearers from epilepsy. The Protestant, Episcopal, Lutheran and Reformed churche?, as well as many Methodists, observe the day by fasting and special services.
