TERRE HAUTE, MARCH 30, 1889.

THEKK has been a falling off in im-

migration during the past eight months

of .*J0,000, as compared with last year. If the dimminution is in the ranks of the paupers, criminals and lunatics the -country is to be congratulated.

Emrou Halslead for Germany, editor lieid for France, editor Now for London, «ditor Rice for Russia, editor Clarksou for first assistant Postmaster General, *nd editor Halford for a cosy place in 'the White House. Any other editors who would liko to have a nice rosy apple -out of President Harrison's basket.

There is talk that Judge Gresham may be made a justice of the Supreme court of the United States, should a vacancy in that body occur during President Harrison's term. It would bo a fitting appointment und one that would be heartily commended by the people. "There is one apparent obstacle in the vay, however, and that is that Chicago already has the chiof justice. The question i« whether two men from that city «iould bo appropriately appointed to the toench of the Supreme court.

IT seems of late that the holding of high federal offices is more profitable after the incumbent has gone out than when he was in. Cleveland and Lamont aro both wojil provided for and Vilas and Dickinson have been hunting round among Now York capitalists to got a pile •of money together for carrying outline

grand western enterprises. Doubtless they will get all they want and will have

^iici fat salaries as managers of the big ^ugter

«chcmes. How the stockholders may fare will develop iater on.

'AT last tho Oklahoma "boomers" aro .about to have their way. For sevoral years pant they have been determined to I

ICO in and possess the land, but have been y0ara ye^

•driven off by Uncle Sam's soldiers. Now thecountry is to bo opened up for settleinent, as it ought to have been four years ngo. A vast tract of valuable land -will bo converted from a grazing territory into fertile farms, adding largely to tho agricultural production of the country. The bootners are as crazy to get ..Iuto Oklohonm as if it contained gold 'intines, but tho act of Congress opening the Territory expressly provides that .any person entering before the time fixed by the President shall notbeallow«d to make entry of his claim. Now that tho proclamation has been issued there will be a grand stampede for tho now Caanan, ai.d tho land offices will be absolutely swamped with applications toy the thousands who want aslice of the rich Oaklohnma cake.

THR soleetion of Robert Lincoln for the Court of St. Jamea was a surprise to tho country and especially to tho politicians. It was a surprise even to Mr. Lincoln himself. His name had not boon mentioned for the place and it was not known that it was in the President's mind. The choice of him makes a peculiar ancestral combination. A presi lont grandson in the Whito House and the sons of two former presidents as ministers to European courts, is some thing never before seen in the history of the country. S far as Lincoln is concorned his prospects for still higher promotion seem bright. He has already boon considered as a Presidential factor and although (Jen. Harrison, if he lives, Is likely to be his own successor in 1892, at tho next quadrennial contest in 185)6, fllainc, Sherman, Allison and the older feneration of politicians will be out of tho way and the .younger men will come to the front. Lincoln will then be 54, just in the prime of life and available for Presidential honors, provided, of «ourse, that h«v makes a good record in the high place to whi-h he has been called.

J.Y/ O IN IT

'Jlishop Huntington, of the Episcopal 'Church of Now York, denounces the commtMvii! spirit which prevails in the ohntvhes and declares that the rich get all tho choice sittings while the poor are whowd into olv-curo corners. Among other things he stays: "No system that |»ls the rich into a fashionable house

With saint's name at one end of the town and the poor into a bare ehupel by themselves at• tiie other end can ever be

M'slem that- i»od will prosper. I don't Ut:U men should wn the church at all. It should be as free as the winds of heaven."

The Bishop right and a radical chance is iu«'«leI in the present system tf church management. Many people are opposed to the system of pew rent-' iitg but on the other hand it is declared to tc the only prMieal way of getting money i-nough to Tarry on the churches*. Titer** i* a way. »wever. that pew renting could be conducted HO as toav main objections now urged against It, that of allowing the rich to take the best ami the poor what is left. I'nder the present system many people of smtil mean* decline to attend chuirh regtilar ly lecftUM they are not able to pay for a choice p**w and don't like to takeacbeap one. This is not a very spiritual way to look at the matter, certainly, but it la the way aome persons do look at it. And whoa wealth take* the choice seats it

does look as if men own the church rather than God. The proper way would be to apportion the sittings by lot and let each one take what comes to him without reference to the amount of his pew rent, Thus the man who pays $10 might get a better pew than the one who pays &100 and properly enough, too, for his ?10 may be more measured by his ability to pay than the $100 of his richer neighbor Such an arrangement would put all on the same footing—rich and poor alike and so it should be in the house of the Lord. Nor would the plan interfere with the raising of funds for the church Each could give as now according to his ability and as much money would be

raifjed" js nQW done and probabiy

more," since some would contribute to the support of the church on such basis who decline to do so now. But the main point to be gained would be the elimination of "the commercial spirit,' as Bishop Huntington aptly term4 it from the churches.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

The cry is going up again, as it does with the incoming of each new adminis tration, that the house built for the Pres ident in Washington is not good enough, is unhealthy, old fashioned and ought to be replaced by a new one of modern convenience and appointmints.

There is a good deal of nonsense In all such talk. The White House is a grand marble structure that compares favorably with the palaces of Europe. It is less than a hundred years old whilo some of the latter have attained many times that age. Yet they aro not abandoned but continue to be used as residences by th» kings and rulers of the old world. How is it that those palaces do not have to be abandoned from sanitory considerations although so mu£h older than our famed White House? An old house is not necessarily unhealthy. If the blumbingis bad it can be repaired. If the floors have become saturated with unhealthy gasses they can be replaced with new ones. In a word, the house can bo renovated and made healthy.

Tho idea of abandoning the White House should not be entertained. Too

UNA WAY MA RltlA QE&.

Tho elopement of Chief Justice Fuller's daughter and her marriage to a young man whom her parents did not wholly approve, has called the attention of parents all over the country to the subject of this kind of marriages. Doubtless thore aro instances now and thpn when a girl is justified in taking such a step, but the Instance referred to does not seem to have been such a one. Her parents were very kind and considerate and apparently would not have been long in giving their consent to the union of their daughter, after maturo deliberation, had she still wished to form it.

It is true that parents have no right to arbitrarily interfere in the matter of their children's affections—to say absolutely that they shall not marry the person upon whom they have set their hearts. When children have attained the age of legal discretion they have a right to decide for themselves whom they will marry. But while that is true the child should not lightly disregard the wishes of tho parent. It should remember that the parent has bestowed many weary days and nights of care upon it in helpless infancy and childhood, has poured out lavishly of its love and has only the happiness and welfare of its offspring at heart. Tho parent is, or should be, wiser than the child, and years of pain and distress on the part of the latter often prove that it is so. It is not always that tho first love of the girl's heart is the true and lasting one. The parent wishes it to be tested by a moderate lapse of time. "Marry in haste and repent at leisure," says the old maxim, and many a youthful marriage in opposition to parental advice has so resulted. There was a notable instance a couple of years ago when young ,Tim Blaine ran" oft and married a pretty Ohio girl. The two have quarreled and separated, entailing the greatest distress upon the young wife and mother. So it may turn out (as we earnestly hope it will not) in the case of young Miss Fuller. We trust the pair of youthful lovers may be "happy ever afterward," as the old stories put It. But if they shall be, a little delay would not have spoiled it. Instead of running away to be married by a justice of- the peace in the friendless surroundings of a strange city, they could have been married, as every girl should wish to be, in her father's home and surrounded by her family amd friends.

Runaway marriages should be discouraged emphatically. They should be only the last resort when every effort to gain the parents' consent has failed and the lovers have reached such years of discretion and teat of their love as put its permanency beyond possibility of question*

TERRS HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING

AMUSEMENTS.

TERRE HATJTB's FAVOHITEH Naylor's Opera Honse will not be l&rge enough (o hold the many friends and admirers of Johnson & Slavin's minstrel company who appear here to-night for the second time this season. A minstrel company must leave a good impression to play a return engagement in Terre Haute and Johnson «fc Slavin can rest as sured of a hearty reception to-night, Tor the entertainment they gave when here before was entirely satisfactory. They come this time even better than before All the old favorites have been retained while several new featnres have been added including the special engagement of the eminent artist, Win. Henry Rice, Carrol Johnson, Bob Slavin, Jay Quigley and Hughey Dougherty will fire some new fun and witticisms at the people The wonderful Selbini family of bicyc lists will introduce some new and start ling feats, the vocalists wili sing new songs, and, in fact, with the exceptions of the allegorical first part and the bur lesque, "The Lost Ace," the performance will be entirely new. The advance sale has been quite large and every indica tion points to a crowded house.

JAMBS O'NEILT,.

The coming week will give the patrons of Naylor's a rare treat. It is the appearon next Wednesday night of the ever welcomo and popular actor, Mr. James O'Neill, one of the most commanding figures in the history of romantic drama, He comes after three years absence with gathered strength, an excellent supporting" company, new scenery, costumes and accessories to this superb epitome of Dumas' most powerful story. The cen tral figure of tho tale, Monte Christo, possesses an amount of individuality rarely reflected by book writers or play makers. Were it not that this production is familiar to the public, it wtuld be an exceedingly pleasant task to review its many striking features at this time. As it is, it is safe to say that the play has lost none of its melodramatic effectiveness. The advance sale of seats commence at 1) o'clock Monday morning at Button's. Be on hand early.

HANLO.V'S NEW FANTASMA

ill be presented at Naylor's opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 4th, 5th and 6th. Special prize matinee Saturday afternoon. The piece has been entirely rewritten and rearranged and is even greater, grauder and better than before. It is as complete a iumph in stage mechanism and transformation as was thb old one. The old antasma, according to the popular idea, had exhausted everything possible in stage trickery, but this idea is soon disrated with a view of the elaborate stage setting and changes in the iw6w antasma. There area nuiinber of very beautiful effects and tableaux. Mr. William Hanlon, as usual, takes the part of the old farmer, whose hasty act iu drivihg away his daughtef brings dire calamity on himself and others, and calls tho beautiful Fantasma into activity in aid of the unfortunate daughter. The company is a good one and presents a number of old familiar faces Miss Laura Burt, as Fantasma, is one of these. On Saturday afternoon at the special prize matinee $10 in gold will be given the child who guesses nearest to the correct number of beans contained in the jar how exhibited in the window of Espenhain fc Albrecht's dry goods store. Tho prices for admission to tho matinee are, children 25 cents, adults 50 cents. Evening prices 25, 50 and 7b Gents. Advance sale opens Tuesday April 2nd. 'f

Denman Thompson's new play, "The Two Sisters," with the original com pany, scenery, etc., will be presented at Naylor's on the 12th and 13th of April.

NOTICE.

I wish to £all especial attention to the display advertisement of the White Sewing Machine in this issue, becauseof some false statements ueingf made by disreputable agents of other sewing machines. These agents have been claiming that their machine got a medal or premium at the late Cincinatti Centennial, and if there was any other tewing machine given a medal or premium aside from tho White, let them esiablish the faet, and the §1,000 will be handed over. These same agents, who are a disgrace to tho sewing machine fraternity know they aro telling falsehoods, yet there are some few people who don't know their reputation for truth and veracity, And only for this fact their statements would never be noticed by me there are other statements being made by these same fellows equally as false, one of which is the claim that one of their number was the man who established the White Sewing Machine in Terre Haute. Of course the claim amounts to nothing as I am willing to take the peoples version of this matter, but simply mention this to show that there is nothing so low and degrading, but they will do it if they think it will gain their point. In conclusion, however, I will add that if at any time during tho thirteen years existence of the White in this city, its life ever was in the least dependant on as unworthy and unscrupulous specimen of humanity as proprietor, manager, or manipulator, it should have by all means have died
