TERRE HAUTE, OCT. 16, 1886.

BEND the rascals back from Canada. IT I« said that the coolness existing be tween Ireland and Denmark still continues.

THERE is a suspicion that the veiled prophet whose recent appearance in St. I/ouis excited so much interest may have been Wiggins.

WILL some one "who is in a position to know" please rise up and tell how much money Chicago Anally sent to Charleston? No need to be in a hurry about it.

THE sea serpent has been seen again. He seems to be getting quite familiar. When he gets tame enough to come and feed out of one's hand parhaps he may be caught.

THE Czar says he will not go to war on account of Bulgaria. As the Czar generally says the opposite of what he means, the other powers are making their preparations accordingly.

OPEN the safe and count the money! Why not? If the Htate treasury is all right no harm will lie done to anybody, and if it is not all right, the people have a right to know it. Open the safe and count the money.

the neighborhood of

Ninety-Six, in South Carolina, have probably reachod the conclusion that the earth's bowels are immediately beneath that place. There is certainly enough rumbling to justify the belief.

Yot'NG George Gould work* ten lioura day. He 1M determined that 1M old father Nhall have a home In the decline of life.— (Courier-Journal.

This is but a poor poke. If George Gould was a lazy, shiftless, good-for nothing, as the sons of too many rich men are, he would be made the butt of ridicule on that account. Young Gould has as much right to work as anyone else has and he Is to be respected for his In dustrious habits.

JAY GOVLD is said to be the leading spirit in tho St. Louis Consolidated Coal Company recently organized, with a cap ital of $0,000,000. More than seventy ooal mines in Illinois, within a radius of fifty miles of St. Louis, have been purchased, and the control of transpor tatlon facilities for the product has been socurod by the new combination. You may be sure that if thero is any "combin ution" and "consolidation" going on Jay Gould will have a hand in it.

TIIE Knights of Labor propose creat ing a bureau of colored Knights through out tho South, for the purpose of gather lug authentic statistic as to the condition of colored laborer*, thoir wages, hours of labor, treatmont, etc., and whether thev are accordod all the rights to which they are legally entitled. This action is highly cotutiiendabie. Tho re Is much need of such an investigation among the colored workingmon of the South and the Knights have done well to take the matter hi hand.

TIIK London "Thunderer," which might aptly he termed tho "Blowhard sees In tho candidacy of Ilenry George for tho mayoralty of New York a cause for alarm, and "hopes for tho sake of civilisation and tho world's prosperity that it will not bo tolerated." The world's prosperity is in a bad way if the candidacy of an able man and an honest one is going to interfere with it. On the contrary, such candidacy is an era of note, and will come out of it to the advantage of the people, the London Times to the contrary notwithstanding.

IN his annual report of the Torritory of Dakota, Govornor Pierce shows that the past year has not been altogether prosperous. There was a serious shortage In the crops, that of wheat and oats amounting to perhaps a third. But there has been substantial progress. It is estimated that the poulation increased during th« year 85,000 and that the total Imputation of the Territory is now 500, 000. The amount of new railroad built during ISS«S will be much greater than for any previous year in the history of the Territory. Tho admission of Dakota an a State is strongly urged and there can be no doubt that she ought to be admitted, although there is a great deal as to whether she will be, if the Democrats control the next House.

THK Congregationalists are divided on the question whether the heathens who have never had a chance to hear the gospel preached in this life may not have a probationary period in the next during which they may have an opportunity to accept Christ's salvation. The feeling between the two branches Is becoming somewhat intense, those who hold to the old doctrine, vi*: that no such probation Is promised in the scriptures, denouncing in rather heated terms the heterodoxy of the New Departurist». It certainly seem* hard and unreasonable that men should be punished for a sin which it was not passible for them to know was such. This mar be theology but it is very hard theology and the majority of people will hope the New De parturiate wilt be able to And bible arguments to support their position.

JUDICIAL JUGGLERY. One of the most grievous complaints which the Pennsylvania miners and iron workers have had to make against their employers has been what is known as the store order system. The meu are given orders on the company's store where they are expected, of course, deal. They are not absolutely obliged to buy their goods at these stores, but they have learned by experience that they refuse to do so their places will be given to other men who are more tract able. These "pluck-me" stores, as they are called, do not do business for the fun of the thing, but to make a good round profit. Dealing thus on account and paying high prices for their goods, the men are always in debt to the stores when pay-day comes around.

Recognizing the iniquity of such system and the powej^essness of the men to free themselves from it, the Pennsyl vania Legislature passed a law prohibiting employers from paying their men in store orders and requiring them to pay in money. This statute recently came before the Supreme court of that State on a question as to Its validity and the court made a remarkable decision, held the law to be unconstitutional, on the ground that it Interfered with the freedom of contract on the part of the workmen! The reasoning appears to be that if the men wish to take store orders and their employers wish to give them the law has no right to step In and say they shall not make such a contract.

This may be good law, In a technical hair-splitting view, but it is mighty poor sense. It Is based upon a theoretical in vasion of the right of contract which does not exist in fact. The intention and the practical effect of the law was to pro tect the men in their right to deal where they wished. The effect of the decision is to place them again at the mercy of soulless and avaricious corporations The court strained a point to invalidate a good law upon a barren technicality It is such decisions as this which bring the courts into contempt in the opinion of the people. They seem to afford basis for the belief that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor.

THE ANARCHIST SENTENCE. The Chicago anarchists have been sentenced to death, and unless the Su preme court or the Governor of Illinois shall interfere, they will be executed on December 3d. The sentiment of the press both In Chicago and throughout the country, seems to give Its unanimous assent to the conviction and execution of these men. It is felt that they have had a fair and impartial trial and that the well-being of organized society demands their death.

The case is unique in the history of the country. There has not been another like It. These men were not tried for actually committing, but for causing by incendiary speeches, the commission of murder. Their crime was that of preaching and inciting to murder. Their defense was that no one of them threw the bomb which killed the police, nor knew who threw it, nor had any knowl edge of the fact that it was to be thrown The oourt held that this was no defense that if their Incondiary speeches provok ed other# to commit murder they were responsible in law for the deed

It may well be questioned, we think whether Inflicting the death penalty on these men will bo the wisest course to pursue. Gov. Hill, of Now York, has recently pardoned several boycotters, on tho ground that, tholr offense was the tirst of the kind and that the convicts did not know they were violating the law. In such a case there is some reason for the exercise of clomency. The execu tion of these anarchists will only tend to make heroes and martyrs of them. If they were consigned to the penitentiary for life or a long term, they would speedily drop out of public notice and be forgotton. If they are hung there will be a feeling in many minds that they have been unjustly dealt with and their death will inspire others of their kind with new zeal. Besides, this being the first case of the kind, it would be just as well perhaps If the extreme penalty of the law were not inflicted. The trial and conviction of tho anarchtsts has served to inform all classes of men of the dan ger to which they make themselves liable to teach the doctrines of anarchy, and if, in the light of this knowledge, others shall hereafter be guilty of the same offence, there will be no reason why the full measure of punishment shall not be meted out to them.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. Among other things considered by the council of tho Episcopal church at Chi cago, was the subject of divorce, and it was justly argued that early and hasty marriage was a large factor in the case. This ecclesiastical body therefore favored such laws as would tend to prevent indiscreet and imprudent marriages.

Nothing will help to this desirable end more, or as much, as making girls independent. Let them feel that there is no more need of them getting married than of their brothers getting married. Let them feel that they have a career in life the same as men have that tliey are not to stand waiting until men come and marry them that the world Is full of work that they can do, and do better perhaps than men. Girls who know hov to earn money and take care of themselves by pursuing some congenial employment, are in no hurry to get married. They will take their time and think about it. They will want to know the men very thoroughly who aflter thoir 'strong arms" for their support before concluding to lean upon them.

The Mail has adverted to this subject more than once and has always urged the importance of practical education for girls. The time is fast coming when an unmarried woman will be no more oom-

miserated than an unmarried man There is no reason why she should be, and she is now only because the opinion prevails that she is less able to take care of herself than a man is. But this" idea Is rapidly going out. Women are demonstrating their ability to do pretty nearly everything that needs to be {tone. Without invitation and in the face of much discouragement, they have taken up one calling after another, until they are found side by side with men in very many of the departments of professional and industrial activity. Presently it will be seen that this growing independence of women is having an important bearing on the marital relation. There will perhaps not be as many marriages but they will be consumated with more care and forethought and will be better unions than many of those which were formed under the old regime.

REV. MYROX RKED, who went from Indianapolis to Denver, several years ago, has been nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Denver district. This is quite a surprise to Mr. Reed's old friends in this State, who regarded him as a square-toed Republican. Indeed there was talk at one time of nominating him for Governor on the Republican ticket. It seems, too, that the Democrats out there have some mistrust of the reverend gentleman's Democracy, soipe of them complaining that they don't know whether he is a Republican, Democrat or Greenbacker, and refusing to be satisfied with the assurance that he has bfeen all three. We don't know what the prospects of his election are, but it is matter of regret that so able a man as Mr. Reed is should decide to leave the pulpit for a political career.

OUR minister to England deserves to be written down as an ass of the.most ponderous dimensions. The editof of the North American Review, while In England this summer, asked Minister Phelps to present him at a levee to the Prince of Wales, in order that he might acknowledge to the latter thanks for courtesies that had been extended.^ Mr Phelps declined to do so because the editor's magazine had published an article severely criticising Secretary Bayard—a position highly untenable but just what might have been expected of an old fossil like Phelps. The Secretary of State and his foreign representatives have become the laughing stock of nations. Nothing from them ought to be surprising after this latest break, that of establishing on foreign shores a cen sorship of the American press, and disgracing a prominent diplomatic posi tion by making It the vehicle to satlsfiy private malice. Minister Phelps had better remain permanently in England where his assininlty can find plenty of room for Its display.

COL. ROBERT G. INQERSOLL seriously recommends the Republicans of New York to make Henry George their can didate. He believes that by doing this they can beat the Democrats and that is the only way in which they can do it When asked whether he agreed with Mr. George's social views, he said: "I do not understand that George is a ciallst. He la on the side of those who work —so am I. He wants to help those who need help—so do I. The rich can take care of themselves. I shed no tears over the miseries of capital. I think of the men In mines and factories, in huts, hovels and cellars—of the poor sewing women—of the poor, the hungry and the despairing."

Col. Bob's heart Is in the right place, whatever we may say of his theology, But it is not at all likely that the Republicans of New York will accept his suggestions. They will not endorse the radical ideas of George and will prefer to be beaten with a straight-out Republican candidate rather than win by Indorsing a man like George.

A LAWLESS LIFE.

Sometimes, when I think what a lawless life mine has been, I wonder that the respectable outlaws with whom I am most intimately associated in social, re ligious, and political circles have not elected me chief of the band. I think nothing of defying those in authority: sass" the President, scoff at Congress, bully the Legislature, and transgress the laws of the land dally. I drive across the bridge "faster than a walk," and

No wonder that I sympathize with the anarchists, nor that good people, people who never do wrong, regard me with suspicion. But one virtue, even though it may be considered a negative one, I Insert here as a saving clause. I have never overstated the value of my proper ty to the assessor.—Burdette.

TEMPTING AND DAINTY BREAKFASTS.

*.30

A writer in a recent number of "The Household" offers a plea for. heartier breakfasts than many people are in the habit of getting

The idea is a good one If you can induce your family, to partake of them. With many, however, the appetite is so light in the morning that they have fallen into the habit of eating but little, and the cook readily falls into a corresponding habit of providing but little. The consequence frequently is that there Is a feeling of faintness In the middle of the forenoon which is both uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Then, too, in families where no help is kept, mother, who has everything to see to, from dressing the children to pouring the coffee, is often unable to cook meat, potatoes, etc., for so early a meal as many families are obliged to make of breakfast. It sounds very easy to read about "broiling a dainty bit of steak," but we housekeepers know that it takes several minutes of hot work when minutes are scarce, and also that it requires undivided attention.

However, by a little planning before hand one can add to the variety and daintiness of the meal that, above all others, needs to be tempting from the fact that most people are not hungry at that time.

Where they are fond of oatmeal or eggs that is a great help, as these are easily prepared, but even these need to be varied occasionally.

Hash, in spite of the many jokes about it, is an excellent breakfast dish, and if rightly made is usually acceptable.

Manv people like corn bread with their coffee, and by setting out your materials over night, it can easily be prepared.

When getting dinner it is a good Yf&y to plan for next mornings breakfast, as many things are better warmed up than at first.

Ham cakes or fritters are very nice, and a little ham goes a good way: Chop tine any cold ham you may have, and to a teacupful add two or three eggs, well beaten, too spoonfuls of milk and four of flour. Heat a little lard or ham fat in your frying pan, drop the batter in by spoonfuls and fry to a well brown. Serve with mashed or baked potatoes, or bread and butter. Catsup makes a good relish for them, and I should think mustard would also. The above quantity makes a large platterful, and half would be enough for a small family. You will soon learn to vary the ingredients to suit your convenience.

A good way to warm up potatoes Is to put a lump of butter In your skillet turn in cold sliced potatoes, salt and pepper and heat through, taking care to oreak the slices as little as possible, then add milk to suit your taste (we like good deal of milk), and serve before the milk simmers away.

If eggs are scarce they will go about as far in omelette as any way, and It Is very delicate. Pour eggs beaten separately and the whites very stiff to tne yolkt add four tablespoonfuls milk, a little salt and pepper, and lastly the whites stirred in lightly. Heat a short-handled frying pan (taking care to have your oven hot also) put a piece of butter in it, and pour in the mixture watch, by slipping a knife under, and when browned on the bottom (do not scorch) set the pan in the oven and brown delicately on top. Turn out on a platter and serve at once.
