TERRE HAUTE, FEB. 20, 1886

THE work of persecuting the saints in Utah continues. Unc'le Sam is as bad a persecutor as was St. Paul.

CONGRESS has now been in session for almost three months and what has it done? Can anybody tell what it has done? Its performances have been so very slim that a telescope would be required to see tbem from this distance.

THE announcement from Washington that the departments will be closed on Monday, brings to mind an almost forgotten anniversary—"Washington's birthday"—the anniversary of the birth of the most magnificent rebel of modern history.

NEW YORK will have to build her own Graut monument, the more's the pity, but Washington is likely to be helped from the national treasury. A bill to appropriate $250,000 for a national monument at the capital is now pending in Congress, and with the pressure which Washington is able to bring on members there is a fair probability of its passage.

THE meeting of th?Grand Army of Republic at Indianapolis this week, was a notable and interesting gathering of the old veterans. This city and locality was well represented and took a prominent part in the proceedings. The universal pension bill was ably and eloquently championed by Capt. C. A. Power and was endorsed by an almost uuanimous votq.

OMAHA, which took the lead in the high license movement and has given it a thorough test, appears to be very well satisfied with the experiment. The Bee, of that city, gives the result in these words: "High Hcense, is not a cure for all the evils of the liquor traffllo, but it is an excellent remedy for manjr. So, far as it goes it can be enforced. It draws to its support wherever it has been placed in operation the sentiment of all law-abiding citizens, and enlists the best class of liquor-sellers in its behalf."

ST. PAUL has the ice-palace but 'Minneapolis has her heart set on something grander and more durable. It is nothingness than a permanent" elrpositioi and 8400,000 have already been subscrlb ed f/nkt*1® project. Work on the buildJojMwill be commenced as soon as the Warither permits, the intention being to np'.ete it by the end of August. What trill SI, Paul do uovr We sugga that it gets up a World's fair.

AT the close of Sam Jones' aerie* of meetings, in Cincinnati, last Sunday night there was a remarks^® demonstration made. Music halt was packed full and 40,000 persons crowded and 4' jostled each other in the adjacent street* because unable to gain admittance. The evaugeiief said he was convinced "the hook-ami. line business won't pay.* He wants "agoapel seine a thousand miles long dragged through the sea of sin and death ant] 100,000 people caught at one haul." He thinks the milleniumoear at hand. He certainly out rank* all the the revivalists at the presents time.

Now that the House has pawed the Fit* John Porter bill it will be weU if the Senate shall do likewise. The country is very weary of this everlasting chin-chining over the case of a man who never attracted any particular attention as a soldier until after the war was over. Twenty years of FHz John Porter is enough. Let him be put on the retired list or anywhere else, so we hear no more of him, and let us go forward to something more profitable to the country than Fitz John Porter. The time that has been consumed in Congress in talking about hia rights and his wrongs has cost the country acready his Pay several times over. It is one of those voxad questions which military men themselves cannot agree about and the best

way

out of it is to settle it one

way or another and have done with the interminable controversy.

JOHN B. QOUOH, who has made his name a household word by delivering over seven thousand temperance lectures, was stricken with apoplexy while on the platform at Philadelphia Monday night, and died Thursday evening. His wish to fall in harness was granted. With the death of this man ends the career of perhaps the greatest temperance lecturer that ever lived. It is not probable we shall ever know another so powerful. The day of fervid temperance oratory is passing away. It has served its purpose. There is scarcely a man or woman who does not admit the evils of intemperance, but the more practical portion realize that these evils cannot be eradicated by impassioned speech Here and there an individual may be reclaimed, but this mighty traffic will have to feel the strong arm of the law and heavy weight of public sentiment. We must still keep talking about it, but we must do something else besides talk.

THE most ambitious attempt yet made in the way of a general press meeting will be the International Editorial Association at Cincinnati on Tuesday, Weduesday and Thursday of next week. Every State in the union will be represented and a wide range of sub jects will be presented for discussion. Among those that will be of special interest to the general public, may be mentioned the following: "The Effect of Sensational Publications Upon the Morals of Our Country," "The Press as an Educator—Its Responsibility for the Moral Status of the Reading World and "The Advisability of Publisbinging News Items of Doubtful Moral Purport." These are some of the important questions with which journalism has to deal and it is greatly to be hoped that the discussions in the international convention will help to a correct solution of t^oa^g»T-

THE plain question which the eighthour movement asks is simply this: Is it better for 20 men to work ten hours a day and four men to have no work at all to do, than for 21 men to work for only eight hours each day If the facts are correct the conolqaion would peem to be obvious. If it is true that a fifth or a sixth of the working m§p of the country are living, or starving, in enforcetijldleness because there is rio worjc for them to do, undoubtedly it would be wise to out down tho hours of labor so that all may be employ ud for area souable time. There' neetl bo no hardship toanyonein doing HO. If ne^essar^ let the pay be by the hour, instead the day and'it will cost the of labor no mOre the one way other. In all the large centers lation the tendency is towards hours of labor for professional and business men. If this is good for them, and that it is no oue will undertake to deny, it would be good for all other classes of workers. It ought to be admitted without controversy that we should work to live, rather than live to work, and if the multiplication of machinery shall enable fyasT) cut down the hours of labor and tees, but\Bt\1 produce enough to supply all our

the press end out oft the press natnral that it should be so. Then, too, the exposure of vice end evil-doing is one of the most effective methods of destroying them. There are it is true, sensational newspapers which go ont of their way to get up all kinds of scandal and which parade it before the public in alight and frivolous *ay, thereby tending to harm. But these papers do not represent the true spirit of the press. They are the exceptions, not the rule. It is not true generally that the newspapers give more prominence to vice than to virtue. As one of the Chicago brothers said, the newspapers puncture frauds and give due credit to honesty, sincerity and courage. They aim to be on the right side and as a rule they are. They are always ready to commend and forward any movement which looks to the moral spiritual or physical improvement of the people. They do not pretend to know everything, as some preachers de, but they seldom fail to discover merits and to uncover hypocrisy and-fraud. It is to be remembered that |he daily press has to deal with society!? in all its varied phases and it is noeasyf matter to do this. It requires intelligence, discrimination and courage tf do this. Taken as a whole the AmeSewJ press comes wonderfully near to representing the general sentiment of th® people of the United States. There olsy be certain classes or callings who iwflld like to have some things differm, but the majority feel themselves to jfi *ell represented by the press as it ii

Then you will put on a deshabille of pink satin, lined with swansdown, enveloping the whole body from bead to foot. Ihe waistband and the fastening of the neck of this garment must be of velvet, so as to be warm to the touch. You may now pass into the bath-room, the atmosphere of which will be kept at an agreeable temperature.by little gusts ef rose-scented vapor pumped through an aperture in the wall.

The next part of our subject is a deli cate one but honi soil qui mal pense. It is now time to draw on the stocking-, lined with warm, flossy silk, long and perfumed, and gartered with Bussian sables, clasped with cat's-eye stones set in diamouas. The boots are to be lined with swansdown and trimmed with Russian sables as well.

One precious product of civilization is now in her dressing-room. This is to be made comfortable by means of an immense footwarmer, some ten feet square, which is to form a kind of second flooring all about the dressingtable. The blinds may be colored to repreeent the ardent rays of the sun, and the padding to keep out the draught is to be trimmed with natural flowers. This will make the place look and feel like a summer bower in the depth of winter.

Tt^e maid may now fumigate the nape of the neck with a little burnt benzoin to make it supple. We must not forget the bands. These may be kept warm by holding them in two little vessels of enamel with warm water and shaped like apples.
