A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

P. S. WESTFALL,

EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR

TERRE HAUTE, MARCH 11,1882.

POLITICAL SIGNS.

Are the political parties going to smash The Republican papers are busy publishing obituary notices of the Democratic party, and the Democratic papers are about equally busy in rendering the same service for the Republican party Said obituaries are rather more cheerful than such reading will average, because each editor seems to be humming, while he writes, the hymn, "Believing we rejoice

To see the curse removed,"

The Independent press joins in the general prophesy of oncoming dissolution. The Boston Herald, for example, says, "It (the Republican party) merely represents tradition. The Democratic party is even more shadowy," and ends the editorial containing these sentences with the assertion, "It really looks like the beginning of a breaking up."

Now there is no doubt that things are a little mixed politically, and neither party has over it a cloudless sky. With Conkling thrown over board in New and John Kelly just climbing on board, with the President nominating Conkling for Asspciate Justice and Republicans voting against his confirmation, with the administration and Blaine at loggerheads over the South American muddle with the independent voter heart and soul for Civil Service and the machine against it, it does look a good deal like housecleaning or moving time in the Republican household. Then, on the other biand, with the "Solid South" seeming to have heard and to be ready to obey FalstafTs ejaculatory prayer, "O thacthis too, too solid flesh would melt," and with our Daniel sawing out an entirely new plank for the next platform in the shape of a protective tariff, and witli the old leaders batting him over the head with the "traditional" and "Jacksonian" planks in favor of free trade and "tariff for revenue only," and with John Kelly bound to rule or ruin in New York, there is not the most peaceful condition of affairs in the Democratic family. But after all is the confusion due to anything more than a little housecleaning? Isn't this about the time which the jrarties usually take to clean out the rubbish which has accumulatod]in the corners and out of the way places during the busy season It is getting to be about midway between one Presidential campaign and another. There is plenty of time to put things all "to rights" again before the busy soason rotitrns. This is not the first time that the papers have indulged in jubilant obituaries over the supposed demise of their opponents in politics, and yet those cold corpses have come up warm and smiling at the proper time and fought each other just as vigorously as would have been tho case if the obituaries had not been written. It is true that the issues between tho parties are not as clear and distinct as they have generally been. And yet there can be no doubt that the tariff is a living issue, and there is just as little doubt that tho Republican party is destined to bo the tariff party, and the Democratic party tho anti-taiiff party. The traditions of tho two parties, and the composition of them, make this necessary. Some men will change from one party to tho other, just as some Democrats in this State went over to tho Republicans on that ground in tho last olection, and some leading free-trade Republicans at the East went the Democrats. But thoro must be two parties on this question. And it is utterly impossible to make the mass of the Democratic party a protective tariff party, and just as impossible to make the mass of the Republican party in favor of free-trade or tariff for revenue only. As for Civil Service, both parties will probably shout for it, and each vyftl try to take it out in shouting, and will do just so much as the people demand, and no more. And the Southern matter is not out of politics yet. The Democratic party is not on its last legs down there, despite the crowing of its opponents. The Mahone movement has given it a terrible shaking up in Vlrgiuia, but it is by no means certain that in national politics the two elements may uot join hands, though it does look very doubtful. But there is to be a strong Republican party and a strong Democratic party, and these two are to divide the voters of the country between them, for some years yet. NeUhVr is dead or dying. It is doubtful whether any of these writers of jubilant obituaries live long enough to be at the wake when the party dies. We do not see any certain signs of a speedy dissolution.

WHILK others have been talking civil service reform Commissioner of Pensions Dudley has set about its practical illustration in his department. His plan of marking the industry, rapidity and general rapidity of his clerks and making promotions according to the highest standard,

has

irked well and has been

the subject of much favorable comment by the press of the country. Colonel Dudley appears to be a man of original ideas, and has a fashion of putting them into very practical operation wherever he Is.

THE Indianapolis Herald prints the startling statement that there are about one hundred stage struck young ladies in that city.

What changes in foreign policies have been made by Secretary Freunghuysen

For double distilled assininity this takes the palm. While the idea, proper ly carried out, might be proper enough the questions here submitted would simply render it ridiculous. The knowledge required is supposed to have been gained from a casual reading of the newspapers, but there is not probably an editor in the whole land who could, off-hand, satisfactorily answer all these questions. And if the ability to answer such fool questions is to be made the test of common intelligence, imagine the profundity of the ignorance in which ninetynine hundredths of the people of Indiana sit! But your formulator of questions to be answered by teachers not infrequently reaches about this altitude of assininity. The common and rudimentary things which are the very ground work of all education and which alone should be taught our children are considered of secondary importance and are brushed aside for the over-refined and supertechnical knowledge which only those have, or can hope to have, whose lives have mainly l*een spent in the business of teaching. I' t-eemsto be forgotten, if it was ever Known to these too utter utterly educational theorists, that the natural gift and aptitude for teaching, the grace of winning young hearts and the delicate skill of opening young minds,—a dowry which only nature can give—are, after all, worth more than all the dry and technical knowledge of the books. And so young men and women are often rejected as teachers who have nature's certificate for the work in favor of those who will never succeed as teachers though they spend their whole life in trying, but who have been more successful than the others in answering the intricate questipns evolved from the profound depths of examining boards. A little more common sense and a good deal less technicality in the management of our schools, would redound to the benefit, physical and intellectual, of those for whom the schools exist.

THE resolution introduced by Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, proposing an amendment to the Constitution that will allow the people to elect all Postmasters, Internal Revenue officers, United States Marshals and District Attorneys is a step in the direction of practical civil service reform. It is well known that under the present system of appointments about one-half the time of members of Congress is occupied ia persistent efforts to obtain offices for Constituents, while the President is absolutely overwhelmed at the opening of each administration by a constantly increasing horde of hungry office-seekers. Indeed, with the immense growth.inthe patronage of the Government of late years, the heaviest burden the President has to bear is the contemptible business of distributing the offices. This condition of things was not eontemplated by the fathers, and should not be suffered to continue. The proposition of Senator Saunders would make a radical change by giving the offices to the opposition party where that party was in the majority. But there {is no good reason why this should not be so. Why should all the offices in the country be in the hands of the party in power, without reference to the political complexion of the city or State in which the office is located? The more republican way would be for the people of .the State or city to control the matter. And after the system was once adopted it would be equally fair to both parties. If the Republican party is really in favor of civil service reform the resolution of Senator Saunders presents an excellent opportunity for it

to

demonstrate the sincerity

of its pretensions.

THR anti-Chineeeagitation has broken out in California again, and large meetings are being held for expression 6f the public sentiment on the subject. At San Francisco, on last Saturday, there was a great demonstration, one feature of which was a procession of working men escorting a number of children in a wagon which bore the motto: "Shall our boys and girls, or Chinamen ..have California?"

Overwhelmed by the discovery, the Superintendent rushed to his desk and wrote to the Superintendent of public instruction suggesting that applicants for license to teach should be required to know something of current history and enclosed the following series of questions as proper ones to be submitted in such cases: 1.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EV^l^TG- MAIL.

THE rapid increase of divorces is attracting much attention from students of social questions and in various sections of the country there are earnest efforts in the direction of reform. Statistics show that the divorces among the Protestant denominations have averaged in Massachusetts one divorce to every fourteen marriages in Connecticut, one to eight in Vermont, one to twelve in Rhode Island, one to* eight in Newhampshire, one to seven, and in Maine, including all denominations, one to ten. It has been ascertained that in Massachusetts, with an increase in population of 22 per cent, crimes against chastity have increased 25 per cent. Between 1876-79, as compared with the three years between 1866-69, crimes against chastity increased from 603 to 1,573 illegitimate births from 1,625 to 2,766 divorces from 1,352 to 2,255, while marriages decreased (rom 57,551 to 52,202.

But Massachusetts, strangely enough, is not a fair index of the country in this regard, for her record is worse than that of the majority of her sisters. Still, the record in general is bad enongh and may well invite the efforts of home loving people to amend it. How thiB can be done is the serious problem. Greater strictness in the divorce laws may accomplish something, but not all. Perhaps in this as in many other things, public sentiment would be more powerful than anything else and if so the creation of a strong sentiment against divorces, which should regard divorced persons with some suspicion unless they could show a good and sufficient cause for their separation, might be found an efficient help in the anti-divorce movement.

woman suffrage committee of the

Massachusetts Legislature stands six in favor of, and five against, woman sufsrage in municipal elections. The argument of the minority is that women are not deprived of representation the law recognizes husband and wife as one person, and suffrage is restricted to men, as well as jury service and the bearing of arms in time of war, because it would be a serious ineonvenience in the social economy for women to perform this class of duties. It is true there are unmarried women, but these are exceptions, and the presumption is that sooner or later they will enter into the family relation. Moreover, four-fifths of the women of the State do not want to votet/ but, in order to accommodate the onefifth who do, the others would be compelled to vote also, for, argue the committee "The Republican living in one house has a wife who desires to vote. The Democrat living in the next house has a wife, who is a representative of the feur-fiftbs whodo not wish to vote, and who consider the duty an unnecessary burden thrown lipon women. If the wife of the Republican goes to the polls with her husband, the. wife of the Democrat is either compelled to do the same, or see her husband practically disfranchised as compared with bis neighbor. By this process a duty would be gradually enforced upon a large majority of women against their judgment and wishes, merely to gratify the desire of a small minority of women."

The Legislature has not yet acted on the reports, but if it adheres to its action in the past, the minority report will be adopted.

STATB Mine Inspector Wilson, in his annual report, shows that only ten fatal accidents occurred in the coal mines of the State during the year 1881, although the number of men and boys employed in mining is nearly 5,000. This is a remarkably good showing, and indicates that our minesare carefully managed. The report also shows that Indiana is the fourth coal-producing State in the Union.

FASHioNABiiE young ladies in Washington are carefully sponged off and given beef tea before they are put to bed after a ball, and are kept in bed till noon the next day. In this way they manage to dance through six nights of the week without collapsing. What a dear, delightful place Washington must be for the average fashionable young lady!

ALTHOUGH Bob Ingersoll some time ago offered a reward of 12,000 for proof that he was ever guilty of plagiarism, we have not heard of anyone scooping in tho money. Colonel Bob is undoubtedly able to pay it, and the people who have been making such charges should step to ^ie front with their documentary evidence.

THE whisky men still appear to be on top in Indianapolis. The Council has not been able to get its courage up to the point of imposing even a $25 license tax on the saloons. This seems a little peculiar in a city noted for its schools and churches, and where the Republican party has around majority.

THE Chicago Tribune is of the opinion that if Mr. Arthur is not a little more conservative he may run out of disappointed politicians.

SAYINGS AND DOINGS.

The motto seems to be, never buy a gingham umbrella when you can borrow a silk one.

Modern methods of observation tell us that our earth is but a fraction of one out of at least seventy-five millions of worlds. ...

Thirty years ago in New York young men who wore moustaches were ridiculed, and had hard work to find employment.

A soldier at Fort Coeur d'Alewe, Idaho, caught 4,626 trout with hook and line during the year 1881. The largest one weighed ten pounds.

A negro woman of Kansas City advertises that if the parents of an infant lately left with her'do not immediately claim it and pay charges she will dispose of it at auction. ..

Many New York merchants now refuse to employ girls because they dislike the interference of people who make it their business to see that the young women are well treated.

A man was arrested in New York for kneeling on Broadway and praying. He doubtless could .have stood up and swore the shingles off the roofs and no one would have interfered with him.

A Toronto man was arrested for whipping his grown-up daughter. His plea was that, being a pious man, he desired the girl to keep Lent, and only struck her a dozen times with a cane for punishment.

Two fellows went into a ring to tight at Waterford, N. Y. The first blow did not knock its recipient doWn, or injure him much, but it convinced him that there would be no fun in even finishing the round, and he took the sponge out of his second's hands and threw it up.

Old Mr. Hazlett, of Oregon, thought he was going to die, and, in order that his heirs should have nothing to quarrel over, he burned $22,000 in greenback?. He didn't die, after all and now when the heir3 see him sawing wood to earn his bread, they naturally feel that they are ahead of him.

The Detroit Free Press says the offer of $5,000 to the inventor of a "humane oattle car" has brought out 700 models, none of which come up to the mark, however. What seems to be wanted is a car carpeted with Wilton, furnished with mirrors, and roomy enough so that all the old cows can have lower berths.

A Syracuse Justice of the Peace postponed a trial upon the request of the defendant, who said his mother was dead. After the adjournment of the Court the Justice learned that the estimable lady had been dead nine years, and the defendant had gone to Canada. The next orphan brought into that Court will catoh it.

A young lady who graduated from a high school last June is teaching a country school. A bashful young gentleman visited the school the other day, and was asked by the teacher to say a few words to the pupils. This was his speech: "Scholars, I hope you will always love your school and y'our teacher as much as I do." Tableau—giggling boys and girls and a blushing schoolma'am.

THE NEXT CRAZE.

The plaque mania has had its run. Now for a craze over jug handles.

SUPES IN THEATRES. Peck's Sun. About the most laughable thing around a theater is the "supes." However funny a play may be, the actions of the supes is funnier than the comedians. Men may act as supes for twenty years, and they can never come on the stage without appearing awkward and falling all over themselves. The actors tell them where to stand, and they get in another place. They act as though they tea to be stabbed, and they cannot appear natural to save them. Take afar

expect

estern scene, where they want a lot of miners in a bar-room to take a drink. One would think fellows who are in barrooms a dozen times a day would know how to act, but they don't. They all go up to the bar in a crowd, and fall around and then take the tin cups of alleged whisky and stare at vacancy, -until told to sit down, and then they sill try to sit on the same Chair. When they are wanted for a scene in the Roman forum, they get on the red night-gowns, and walk around toeing in, and walking knockfcneed, making the sickest lot of Roman citizens that ever robbed a hen roost. In a reoent play here it was necessary to bring in the United States army at the

Eeaaed

roper time, to crush out the hvdra monster, Mormonism. Four supes were provided with army overcoats, and muskets, and just as the Moriron elder was about to triumph over the weak and virtuous, and crush them under his heel, the husband, who had walked three thousand miles, after the soldiers, called upon them, and the spirit-stirring drum was heard, and the four supes appeared with guns pointed at the whole of Salt Lake city, and the Mermon leader with his lorty thousand people surrendered, and virtue triumphed. One could net help wondering why the government did not hire the four supes and discharge the regular army. A supe always acts as though he knew he was being guyed by everybody, and that he had come on the stage under protest, and wanted to get off as quick as possible, if he had to fall off. It is a singular coincidence, that a supe always has a black patch on the seat of a pair of

in the world they all get gray

pants, and why they don't have gray patches on them. Is more than anybody has ever been' able to find out. Let a oouple of supes cotme on tho stage to remove a table, and they will have those patches sure, and they will arrange to stand with tno patches to tho audience. They probably reason that their faces are liable to betray emotion, or that they may blusb, but that the patches can maintain a stern and dignified demeanor under the most trying circumstances of guying and cat calls from the gallery boys. Female stipes are worse than men. in stubbing t^eir toes on carpets, and backing against wbigs. They are hired te come on to fill up a scene, at half a dollar a night, and they usually wear octagon shaped tights, with more bran than legs, and it is painful to BEE them stand around. But they get confidence in themselves quicker than men, and it is not an uncommon thing for them to want to be a star after appearing a couple of times. A female supe that is permitted to take a speaking part once, where she has to say "Yes, ina'hm," is spoiled, as she will immediately be looking for a manager to star her as a prodigy, and she will make fun of every actress she sees. The supe business has lots of fun in it..

WANTED TO SEE .TAIL LIFE. "Well, sir, we'll send you to jail for thirty days," said Mayor Rowe, in tbe Reading, Pa., police court, several weeks ago, to an innocent-looking young man accused of vagrancy, "and when you get olit I want you to leave the city at once!" The prisoner made no response, but very humbly accompanied the officer to jail. Yesterday 'Squire Rahn, of Leesport, ten miles away, came to Reading to look after a rich young farmer who bad mysteriously disappeared. He went to see Warden Brossman, at the prison, and, in making a tour of the cells found his man at work winding carpet rags. The prisoner laughed when he saw tne 'Squire, and treated tbe whole matter as a joke. The Mayor was informed that the man he had committed for vagrancy was a Berks County farmer owning an estate worth $35,000, with not a penny of debt on it. A discharge was at once made out, and 'Squire Rahn took the man home. "I wanted to see how things go among jail-birds, that's all," was tne only explanation he could get from the young farmer.

SATISFYING THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW. Texas gifting*.

There is a Justice of the Peace out in Crosby county. Week before lsst lie found a man guilty of shooting a btiH that did not belong to him, and fined him$7&. man no sich me in this office to find away to make men pay their fines. You will cut cedar polee until you have cut enough to satisfy tbe majesty of the law," replied the Justice. "But, Jedge, what use has the State of Texas got for cedar poles?" "Tbe State of Texas hasn't got no use for eedar poles, It's this Court that needs them cedar poles to build a fence. I'll take the poles and settle with the State of Texas for them." And the poor devil is cutting cedar polee for tbe state of Texas now.

THE new-born children of all nations have nearly the same color. The infant negro is born with a reddish pink skin, and so is the child of the purest Caucassian.
