THE MAIE

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

P. S. WESTFALL, "EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR

TERRE HAUTE, FEB. 25,1682

WHO LEADS

There is a great hullabaloo, all at once, In Congress, over the Mormon question and the civil service. We are glad of it It is just what should be—just what .should have been long ago—just what The Mail has "been working for. But how does it happen that these matters have so Huddenly and strongly taken hold upon the official mind? It really looks as if there were an intention to grapple these two subjects and do something effective. But how does it happen

Utah is no worse now than it has been these many years. The civil service is probably in as good condition as it has ever been, or, at least, as it has been since the origin of the principle that "To the victors belong the spoils." Congressmen now are very pathetic over the tax that is laid upon their time and strength as office brokers, and are making vigorous appeals that some system of selection bo adopted which shall relieve them. But why have they been quiet so long under these evils? And why are these men who have peddled out offices, and run on political errand, so meekly heretofore, and been as dumb as the meekest lamb in the hands of its shearers, so suddenly aroused to protest against the long standing abuses of the civil service, and vigorously demanding some system of selection which shall leave .them free to attend to the public business? The simple answer to all these conundrums is that .the people demand it. Talk about polijticians and those in position being leaders of the people! It is' ^he sheerest rioftiaense. And the uction of Congress during the present session on the two subjects banned above, Is a clear illustration of the source of true leadership, and a complete refutation of the popular fallacy which makes men in high official position leaders of the people. It is the people who lead, especially in this country, however it may be elsewhere. The fact is that fhe country has become tired of tolerating and petting fend dallying with that licentious abomination which steals the name of religion in order that it may openly defy the moral sense and the laws of civilized society, so tired that the people are rising all over the land to demand that souietiling be done to rid us of this disgrace. Religious bodies have passed resolutions and sent them to President and Congressmen. Petitions have been circulated. The pulpits have been speaking. The non-political press has been making its power felt. Now at last the people are rising in masses. There is muslo in the air, Congressman hear it, and they fall into line and try to keep step. Leaders of the people indeed They are simply following the people. The people wore getting along way ahead of them, and they are running to catch up. That is what this flood of anti-polygamy bills means. Just so of civil service. There is not an evil oonnocted with the method of appointment to office which has not been as apparent to any Congressmen who ehose to open his eyes at anytime these many years as to-day. But the death of Qarfiohl gave a tremendous impetus to the popular movement in behalf of civil service reform. There was a very strong popular sentiment before that something should be done. Clergymen were debating the matter in the pulpit and out of it. The independent press of the •country was outspoken and united in demanding tho roform.

The Mail has often and strongly spoken on the subject, but not more often or more strongly than tho nou-par-tizan papers generally. The people were beginning to organize. But the murder of the President brought this subject home to the people in anew and startling way. The result was that the people ceased aaying "Something ought to be done." And the so-called leaders of the people all at once became rampant -civil-service reformers, and bills for the •reform of the civil servioe became as thick in Congreos as blackberries in August. Old stagers there who had pedaled offices till they were gray and never uttered a complaining peep, rivalled «each other In drawing up and introducing and urging bills on the subject. It 4s all right. We are glad of it. But it & amusing, nevertheless, to see these deaden of the people running to catch up with those whom they are supposed to lead, so&rod half out of their wite lest they should be left behind and other leaders selected. It is net the people who are led, but the people are the leaders.

AND, by-the-by, is this so very far eat of the way? These members of Congress are the representatives of the people. This is their name, and the name indicates their office and rank. The people put men into Congress to embody and carry out in law the sentiments of thoee who elect them. While as citisens and patriots these men ought to try to lead the people to adopt right opinions, that is not what they are selected or elected to .do. If they .fairly represent their constituency it is all, that can fairly be demanded'of them. Being selected in the first place because they are supposed to be in sympathy with those who vote for them, it is not to be expected that they will get very far in advance. If the aver­!about age congressman keeps up with the people he will do pretty well.

ALt. of th« above leads directly to the •conclusion thai the place to work for

any reform is among thb people. The man who, from platform, pulpit, or editorial chair, has the ear of the people, holds the place of power and of true leadership. Get the people: worked up to the evils of the Mormon system, and make the popular conscience sore with the pressure of personal responsibility for the continuance of this evil, and all the rest will take care of itself. When the people begin to move, law-makers will not long lag behind. Without this quickened interest and this tender conscience on the part of the people, there is little for which to hope. So of the civil service reform, and all moral questions. The people lead the politicians and officeholders and the real leaders of the people are those who with voice, pen or personal

influence

mould public sentiment.

AN OLD SPHERE FOR WOMEN. Senator ©avis, a few days ago, gave some good advice to a lot of women who were dogging him to help them get places in the government service at Washington. He told them plainly that they were in poor business and would much better go home and seek employment in some kind of domestic work, such as cooking, taking care of houses, etc., saying that they could earn good wages in such work and be independent. The advised, however, went off in a pet, fully persuaded th*t (he Senator was an old bear and thai bis advise, if taken, would disgrace them. Yet the Senator was right. There is no work more important, or in itself more honorable than that suggested tyf hits, that it has fallen into disrepute among women is the fault of women themselves. American girls have practically abandoned the kitchen to those of other nationalities, and have somehow got the idea that there is degradation in household work, unless done by them as mistresses of their own households. This is unfortunate, both for themselves and the servico. It has resulted in throwing this class of work into the hands of green incompetents, and has rendered demoralization and unhapplness widespread in the domestic circle. Tho disrepute in which the w*rk is held is owing to the incompetency of the workers more than to everything else combined, and all that is needed to lift it to the dignity and honor which its natural due is to impreve the character and competency of the workers. We have not a particle of doubt that if educated and cultivated girls would learn to be expert oooks, so that they could compete, in a reasonable degree, with Miss Juliet Corson in this kind of work, they could flx almost their own price for their lsbor, and dictate their own terms of service, work in the places most agreeable to them, and make more money, with mere ease and independence, than they can possibly do in the overcrowded fields of men's labor. Such a class of workers would very quickly elevate the hitherto despised and degraded domestic service, and make it as honorable as clerking or schoolteaching for it is the character of the workers, and not the work itself, which renders it ignoble or otherwise. The subject is well worthy the attention of those who have the teaching and guidance of the rising generation in their hands. It will be a happy day for Qur homes, as well as for the thousands of womeu who are dependent upon their own labor for support, when the bsn shall be removed from household service sndit be raised to the plane of honorable estimation from which it never should have fallen.

THK Saturday Herald, of Indianapolis, struck a rich lead in exposing the offal contract of the Northern Prison. An investigation of the matter developed the fact that, in addition to his salary of $1,500 a year, the Warden was realizing three or four times that sum from the perquisites of the position in the shape of hides, tallow, empty barrels, uneaten food, etc. This loss to the State the prison directors promptly decided to save by abolishing the perquisite system altogether. It is estimated that the State will save about |8,0«0 a year by the investigation. The Southern Prison is also to be overhauled, and no doubt a similar, if not a worse state of affairs will be found to exist in that institution. Wouldn't it be a good idea to overhaul all the State Institutions while they are about it _„_____

IN an interview at New York, Mr. Abbey, Patti's manager, denied the reports which have been circulated, to the effect that her tour has been a financial disappointment and that Patti is disgusted with the United States. On the contrary Mr. Abbey says she has had the greatest success of any singer that ever came here, and that she has sung to fall houses everywhere except Indianapolis, where she had a poor house because the place is so small that there are not enough people in it who could afford to pay the prices charged by the great diva! What do the Indianapolitans think of that kind of an advertisement? How Louisville must have rolled that morsel under

her

tongue!

EXOLANO having nearly 900,000 mom women than men, a society has been organised to export some of the surplus female population to other Englishspeaking countries where the men are in the majority. The bachelors of Queensland have offered 200 free passages a month for comely women under thirty, and the home govern men has graciously consented to pay the passages of a limited number, with no stipulations age. But so diffident are English women, that last year only fifty-nine accepted these offers. The British women should encourage a greater spirit of advent ure—something like that of their foremothers several centuries ago.

THE TEMPERANCE UESTION. H»e Greenbackers are first in the field with a declaration on the woman suffrage and prohibition amendments. At their State convention held on Wedi.esday they incorporated the following resolution in their platform: "Believing that the proposed constitution-1 al amendments on the temperance and suffrage questions now pending before the In-

Legislature would, if adopted, promote

diana stature would. the welfare of our people, we therefore demand their submission to the voters of Indiana for ratification or rejection.''

This is a key-note of no uncertain sound. It not only favors the submission of the amendments bnt indorses their passage. A good many in the convention did not wish to go so far and advocated a plank simply approving of their submission, but a majority were more radical.

What attitude the Democratic and Republican parties will occupy on this subject has not yet been fully disclosed, though the indications point strongly in the direction of open opposition by the Democrats and a square avowal of tile right of suomission by the Republicans, without either advocating or opposing the adoption of the amendments in other words, that the people have the right to express themselves on|the subject.

And this seams to be the only question really presented at the present time. The discussion of the policy or impolicy of prohibition would appear to be premature. The question is not whethjpr we shall hsve prohibition but whether the people shall hare the right to say whether they prohibition or not. The time to argue the utility or otherwise of prohibition will be when the amendment eomes hefore the people to be voted on. There ean be little question that in Indiana as it is to-day the amendment would be lost by a large majority, but that is neither here nor there. The question is whether it is not a cardinal doctrine of our system of government that the people have aright to express themselves at the polls on any and all subjects affecting the public welfare. That is the position of those who favor the submission of the pending amendments to the people, and it must be conceded that there is great plausibility in it. It is safe to say that on this principle the coming campaign in Indiana will hinge atiji' that all other queations will, for the time being, be subordinated to that of temperance.

Music never fails in Cincinnati and the recent week's festival, in which Patti was to, but didn't sing much, was no exception to the rule. The total receipts reached the large sum of 995,000, of which Col. Mspleson's opera troupe received the first $15,000. Then after paying the expenses of the college including Patti, in all $30,000, there was left about $50,000 to divide between Mapleson and the college. Of course a large part of the patronage of these great musical enterprises comes from the eountrv surroundins Cinaton*'Vdelegations pouring in from all the interior towns. But all the same it is to the credit of Cincinnati that her enterprise established the great college of music.

THE great floods caused by the recent heavy rains haVe seldom, if ever, been exceeded in the history of the Ohio valley. Vast tracts of country along the Ohio river have been flooded, causing great destruction of property and some loss of life. At Cincinnati the water was higher than it has been since the great flood of 1847. Many basements were submerged, and the Plum street depot had seven or eight feet of water in it. At Evansville six persons weredjowned. The railroads have suffered severely in wash-outs and bridges carried away, and trains were temporarilj' suspended on many of the roads.

UNDER the workings of prohibition in Kansas, beer has taken the name of "sea foam," and in a prosecution for selling beer the witness testified that the alleged "sea foam" looked like beer and foamed like beer and tasted like beer and he could not discover any difference between it and beer, but that be was of bpinion that it was sea foam, and on being asked what sea foam was, replied that be did not know. Whether the seller of this suspicious kind of sea foam was found guilty or not is not stated.

THB donation of $350 to the Harrison revival in Cincinnati, by J. R. Mclean, of the Enquirer, has been the subject of much criticism. At first blush there would not seem to be much in common between the Enquirer and revivals of religion, but there is nothing so dear t« the heart of the Enquirer as a "sensation" of any sort whatever, and poisibly it was with a view of getting up a small one that Mr. McLean concluded to take a hand in the revival.

GKS. TOM BKOWNK, of this State, favors an appropriation which will enable the Commissioner of Pensions to employ 250 more agents to investigate pension claims. The cost would be about $500,000 per annum, but considering the vast number of fraudulent claims which are filed, be thinks the measure would be one of economy, and so doubtless it would be. ___________

IT is evident that the dog has no friends at court—that is, in the present Supreme Court of Indiana—for it decided the other day that there was net property enough in him to be stolen. It is true he pays taxes, but it is explained that this is less for the production of revenue than for the non-produc-tion of the dogs.

-—AN EXPOSED MEDIUM. A BROOKLYN THEATRE MANAGER WANTS A GHOST THAT CAN ACT.

N. Y. Sun.

Among those who attended the interrupted seance in the residence of Mr. Beard at 123.Ryerson street, Brooklyn, on Friday evening, was Col. W. P. Sinn, proprietor of the Brooklyn Park Theatre, who went to see Mrs. Crindle-Reynolds materialize the spirit of the actress Julia Dean Hayne, with a view of having her, if successful, give materializing seances iar public. Since the medium was exposed ill the act of producing twin spirits, and was revealed by a sudden burst of gas light standing half dressed, with a mask over her face and a quantity of illusion over her figure, while at her arm's length she held another utask, from which she had suspended a quantity of flimsy white drapery. Col. Sinn has offered to give her $1,000 if she will produce one materialized spirit, without fraud, upon the stage of his theatre, or in any public hall.

The Brooklyn spiritualists have taken sides for or against Mrs. Crindle-Rey-nolds, and while the fact that she was exposed is not questioned, yet it is claimed by some that she did not commit the frana voluntarily, but that she was controlled by evil spirits. It is not contended that the mask»iand the rest of her wardrobe were carried through the air and delivered to her, for they bear evidences of New England manufacture: but it is urged that she was controlled by Wicked spirits to provide herself with these accessories that the cause might be injured. In this view it is argued that the medium is still deserving of confidence. But Mrs. Reynolds's defenders are few, and are only among the most enthusiastic believers in flesh and bone materialisations.

When the light was suddenly turned on at the seance on Friday night, and the cabinet used by the medium was entered, a mask was found for each character in which the spirits had appeared at- previous seances. There was a fine wire mask, with gray beard, that always appeared at her stances when a Mr. Gruff, a spirit without an earthly reputation, though frequently claimed by enthusiastic believers to be a relative, appeared. There was also the mask of a child's face that always was used in the character of little Effie," and the mask that represented the face of Jnlia Dean Hayne. Mrs. Crindle-Reynolds had also a blonde wig, a brown wig, quantity of black tarletan, and also a trumpet through which she could simulate the voice of a man when Mr. Gruff was materialised and was about to appear upon the scene to direct the seance. It was Mr. ruff's voioe that always said

Col. Sinn was one of the few in the company that detected that the gold ring upon the same finger was materialized so as to shine in the dint light of the room. When the lights were turned up the ring was on the medium's hand.

The wardrobe of Mrs. Reynolds's company of spirits has been distributed among those who were at her seance. She is understood to have gone West.

OOINO TO THE PRIZE FIQHT. New Orleans Times. A sleeping car conductor, running on the "Big J." between this dty and Chicago, Btated that on a recent trip he brought down a sleeping oar full of the worst thugs and thieves he had ever seen. On leaving Chicago a follow who appeared to be the leader of the gang told him not to feel uneasy, that the "boys" had made up their minds to behave themselves while on the train, and if they began pranking and anything was missed, he could rest assured that the missing article would be returned. "I bad not been on the road an hour," said the conductor, "when I suddenly discovered that ray pockets had been icked, although I had, as I thought, een on the alert all the time. Going back into the sleeper where the thugs were. I was greeted by one ol them with a smile, and who said 'Master, here is something that you dropped in the passageway. You should be more careful mth your things, or someone less honest than myself might pick up your wealth and forget to return it.' When night came they commenced their

All night long they were practising their trade, picking open their pals' valises and purloining therefrom flasks which, I must say, were never returned nntil the contents had been disposed of."
