TERRE HAUTE, DEC. 15,1888

ii UN DAY REST.

One of the coming reforms in this country is going to be the ftgbt against Sunday desecration. It has pretty nearly come to tbe point already that there is no weekly day of rest for several mil lions of people in this country and the case is getting worse with every year, Sunday trains, Sunday newspapers Bunday theatres, base ball and other kinds of labor and diversion, have made a vast change from a decade ago in the observance of Sunday as a day of rest Many men and women work on Sunday just as on other days and their ceaseless grind goes on without even the blessed interruption of a day of weekly rest.

As a matter of course the churches and religion* people, as well as many who are not members of any church, have opposed thin desecration of tbe day all along. But there is noticeable just now a gathering storm against it. The pul pit is speaking out with special vigor, the press has taken the matter up—that is the press which does not issue Sunday papers—and a "National Sabbath Reform Association*' has been organized to unite the efforts of those who favor Sunday observance. This society has just held its first annual convention in Washingion. There were five sessions and the speakers embraced some of notable men and women of the entire country.

It is a righteous cause from whatever point of view considered. All men who do not make money out of Sunday labor should Join in demanding one day of rest out of the seven. It is needed physically and morally. It is ordained of God and should bo respoctcd by man. No one gtitiH anything by working on Munduy. Ho shorten* hIm days, undermines hi* health, weakens his nervous energy and wears out sooner—like the Htmirn engine* that is run all the time without any rest. The person who, having worked hard six days in the woek, is not willing to rest on the seventh, is pretty nearly a barbarian.

111E HIJiMlNdHAM CASE. Tho outcome of tho mob spirit at Birmingham, Ala., carries a lesson for a good many communists in Indiana. This Stato lias boon disgraced a number of tlnuw in recent years by lawless lynching of prisoners violently taken from jails. Tho same thing was attempted last Saturday night at Birmingham and the sheriff, after warning the mob to desist, tired a volley into them, with theresuit of killing several and wounding a number of others. Sheriff Smith has boon severely criticised for his action and it is possible that moro lives were sacrificed than was necessary. But it Is undeniahlo that the ofllcor was acting in tho line of his duty. It was his sworn duty to protect tho prisoner in jail from outside violence oven to resisting force with force. Ho did not shrink from his duty as some Indiana shoriHs have done. He acted conscientiously and there is much reason for palliating his offense. Doubtless the result was more deadly than was intended or expected, but It is hard to bo cool and deliberate under such circumstances as confronted the Alabama sheriff.

The ease will at least serve a good purpose in warning men everywhere to avoid mobs. The man who is shot down on his way to take a prlsonor from jail by violence has no one to blame but himself. He Is defier and breaker of law and the consequences must boon his own head. If some of our Indiana slier ids had neted In the spirit of Sheriff Smith we would have had less of tbe mob spirit in Indiana and the State would not have been disgraced so often by the lynching of prisoners awaiting trial by l»v.

SKNATOU SIIKHMAX

does not regard

"trusts" in the same light as Mr. Blaine. The Utter thought they were largely things of private concern and beyond the reach of legislation. Speaking on the tariff bill in the Senate the other day Mr. Sherman said he looked upon trusts "as one of the most dangerous and subtle inventions of man" and was in favor of breaking them up. If natural competition would not accomplish this he was willing to propose a law to pr»%*ent and punish them. That is precisely the way the majority of |oople feel about it. The trusts and "combine*" most be put down somehow or another and the statesman of the future will risk nothing in jump ing on them with both his feet.

WUKN Carter Harrison ss mayor of Chicago the anarchists were allowed the freedom of the city. They could march behind red flag* and make incendiary upwchw to their bMrU' content, until their lawlfwa proceeding* ended in the Hay market masescre. When the lawabiding people objected to the license thus gicen it was ansyremi that free speech could not be suppressed. But a dinVnrnt state of affairs prevails in Chicago now. The anarchtsts are not a) lowed to parade the streets not to assemble for the purpose of making or listening to incendiary •rations. And this to as it should be. If a similar course had been pursued before there never would have been any Hay market riot.

THE Republicans seem to be unreasonably nervous about their majority in Congress. It is so very narrow that they are quite uneasy lest the death of two or three of them before tbe House is organ ized may deprive them of their advan tage and they are anxious that a special session shall be held before such a calamity can happen. But why are Republican Congressmen more likely to die than Democratirfones? The chances would seem to be as favorable to one side as to tbe other.

CERTAIN Congressman take a most lugubrious new of a statesman's life, declaring that they can hardly pay election expenses and make both ends meet and that they would have been much better off had they remained in private life. Yet, for all these warnings how many men there are in private life who are willing to go to Washington!

As figured on the vote cast for Presi dent at tbe recent election Indiana has now a population of two and a quarter millions, an increase of nearly 300,000 since 1880, or nearly 40,000 a year. Some of tbe new States in the West have grown faster than that, but the increase has been rapid enough for an old and settled State.

THK Democrats in Congress are now willing to let Dakota come in as one State. As usual they are behind the times. Dakota proposes to come in as two States and she will do it, too.

IT is given out that Chauncey Depew would like to be Minister to England under the new administration. As the boys say, be would be a "daisy,"

UNHAPPY MARRIAGES. The Peoria Saturday Call strikes right between the eyes when it says: Ninetenths of tbe unhappy marriages is the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in society pastures without any yoke on them. They mar ry and have children before they do mustaches. They are fathers of twins before they are proprietors of two pairs of pants, and the little girls tbey marry are old women before they are 20 years old. Occasionally one of those gosling marriages turns out all right, but it is a clear case of luck. If there was a law against young galoots sparking and marrying before they have cut all their teeth we suppose the little cusses would evade it in some way. But there ought to be a sentiment against it. It is time enough for these bantams to think of finding a pullet when thoy havo raised money enough to buy a bundlo of lath to build a hen house. But they see a girl who looks cunning and they are afraid there are not going to bo enough to go around, and tbey begin to spark real spry, and before they are aware of the sanctity of the marriage relation they are hitched for life, and before they own a cook stove or a bedstead they have got to get up in the night and go after the doctor, so frightened that they run themselves out of breath and abuse tbe doctor becauso ho does not run too. And when the doctor gets there, there is not linen enough in the house to wrap up tho "baby."

There was a charity show given a few days ago by the ladles of a very fashionable church, says Clara Belle. The performers were darlings of the congregation, and tho audience was quito"exclusive." One feature of the bill was called "On the Fence." Four fellows and four girls stood behind a fence built across the platform. Their heads, arms and breasts were above the top of the fence, which ^concealed the rest of them but dwarfish false bodies and legs made figures that seoined to sit on the fence. The chaps were made up comically, but the lasses wont in for prettiness, and two of them representing "Bopeep 'and "Little Red Riding Hood," showed what purported to be nude feet and ankles. These members had been cleverly fashioned for the occasion. The illusion was startl»gly good. The shapeliness was'artis-j tic, the coloring matched exactly the faces and bare arms of the girls, and when the fair rogues in singing their songs, coquetishly lifted tbe skirts and operated the imitation legs, nobody looked tho othor way, notwithstanding tbe strained relations of modesty and admiration.

The professor of kissing who with the aid of his wife runs a school for teaching the art in Philadelphia has promulgated this rule: "The next time you go to see your girl, young man, kiss her lightly and with deliberation. If she happens to be standing, just put your left arm around her waist and draw her to you. Of course, she'll be bashful. She will turn her head away. Then you must put your right hand to her left cheek, the hand open, and draw her face around to you. Then look her straight in the eyes for a half a minute, bend your head down slow and prepare for action. Allow them to remain in natural repose Don't push your mouth against her's as if you wcre golng to knock her teeth out. When the lips are forced together the teeth come in contact with the lips and form a resistance which Is decidedly an pleasant. The lips ahonld just meet, and there should be jttst the slightest pressure. Then a little playful motion of the lips by the kisser and the kissed •ends through you a thrill that la

Uon to the soul itself."

CHEAP LIVINO.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY WHICH ENA BLEU PEOPLE TO PROSPER. [Cincinnati Post.]

Dr. Dio Lewis became famous some years ago as a dress and food reformer, and he presented a practical example of tbe value of his theories in the shape of a well known young lady of West Seventh street, whom he educated at his school. A healthier, happier girl didn'i live, nor a more popular one. Yet ahe was clad and fed simply and inexpen si vely. Dio Lewis states that be himself once lived on fifty-two cents a week for his food, and he maintained perfect health. Probably not one in a thousand has the courage to imitate him, yet there are many sensible, economical, hale and hearty men and women in this city who do live on a dollar a week for their atom achs, and tbey are not ashamed to say so. It is from this class that many of our future capitalists will spring. They are all living within their income, and practising self-denial for the glorious privilege of some day being iudepen dent.

How is it done? There is a baker living near Burnett woods who dwells in a very comfortable house of his own, which he has bought and paid for out of his own earnings.

He was working for $12 a week, and labored for twenty-three out of the twenty-four hours, his neighbors said In reality he worked but an ordinary working day of ten hours. Before he was married he boarded, and his whole expenses were $1 per week, with some thing extra for clothes. When he had accumulated a little cash he invested in $300 lot. On that he borrowed some money from a building association and put up a $1,500 bouse. He watched his opportunity, saved every nickel and improved his place. He sold off a portion of bis lot, and with the cash he got and the improved value of bis premises be founa himself worth $2,800. He has been adding to his little pile right along and can easily figure his wealth at $3,500. He is married, has his house paid for and manages to live very nicely off the proceeds of a small bakery which be now owns and manages. The point at which he saved most was in his food bill. He is positive that four parson can flourish finely on $4 a week for moat, milk, bread, butter and eggs and all ufoljj necessaries and luxuries.

There nre £od-working machinists in I'incmnitii who earn as high as $14 a week and get work for eleven months of tbe vonr. But these are rare exception*. An A No. can count on $12 a week, but a good figure is $10, with work for about fort}' weeks. There are a large number of men in tho city working at these wages. They occupy three rooms if necessary, but generally only two. Hero is an inside view of tbe household management of a $10-a-week man: "There are six of us in opr fain 11 myself and wife and four children, we have three rooms one for myself and wife, one for the two boys and one for the two girls. We cook in my bed rdom. We pay $11 a month for rent. My wife upplies our table principally out of these articles: Navy beans, dried peas, lintels, onions, potatoes, bread and soup. She can get us up a substantial dinner for twenty cents and a good supper or breakfast for less than that. Here would be the cost of a dinner: Soup meat t0.05 Barley 01 Potatoes 05 Onions, cabbage aad turnips 04 Bread .05

Total 10.20 "Here is a supper bill of fare: Hrcad «0.08 Apple butter 04 Beans 04 l'ork 02

Total $0.18 We buy barley by the half-dozen ounds, potatoes by tbe bushel, beans the quart, onions by the peck and turnips by the half-bushel. We save about five per cent. thus. Among the very cheap dishes we eat are liver pudding stew, boiled homony and oat-meal mush with pepper and salt."
