TERRE HAUTE, SEPTEMBER 7,1880.
THKY are trying to get a jury of "intelligent men" in Chicago, who have not read the newspaper*. to try the men indicted for murdering Dr. Cronin. A* usual the thing 1m found hard to do.
THE people of the United state® will see no occasslon for alarm in the fact that the immigration from Europe is declining. The arrivals during July were 8,000 leas than for the same month last year. We hope they will continue to decline. With 66,000,000 of people and a healthy ratio of native Increase we need no aid from foreign sources in that respect. This country can populate itself from now on.
THE level-headed, conservative Chlchago Journal profounds this conundrum: Jf railroads, because of their importance lo civilisation, should bo run by the government, why should not the crops, which are of more importance, and are transported by the railroads, be raised by the government? That Is Just it. Why shouldn't they be? The Bellamy theory Is that they should be. Is it a wise or foolisn theory?
How little either free trade or protection has to do with the condition of the laborer is shown by the great strike now in progress in London. In this country the free traders contend that the tariff alone fosters trusts and monopolies and is responsible for labor strikes. Yet the condition of the workingmen is even worse in free trade England. The truth is the tariff has little to do with it so long as immigration of foreign laborers Is unrestricted, for It is the competition of an overstocked labor market that makes wages low, whether there be a tariff or no tariff.
IT is announced that a new periodical to be called the "No Name Magazine," will be started soon in Baltimore. The plan is to accept articles on their merits alono and not on the fame of the writers and all who havo anything worth saying are Invited to contribute. Now here is the chance for which unrecognized genius has twxm waiting, lo, many these years. The groat known and the great unknown are to stand on an equal footing. The enterprise presupiK'.soH that the public will buy the work of unknown wrltora as readily as that of those known to fame. It remalnsZ to be seen, whether this presumption Is well or 111 founded. When we note the throngs which crowd to see and hear any famous man or woman there Is, It must be confessed, a good deal of cause for apprehension. The curiosity of the public Is a well-nigh in finate factor in modern affairs. Yet we hope, for the sake of Mierature and unknown literary genius, that the "No Name Magazine" will have all the success that It's merits may derserve, whioh is perhaps wishing It as much success as it or any publication ought to have.
A SALOON SYNDICATE. The trust mania has struck even the saloons. In Joliet, 111., a firm has offered to pay the town 175,000 a year for the privilege of running all the saloons, agreeing to locate them where thoy wiil not Interfere vlth any church, school or legitimate business to close thorn at 10 o'clock at nlsrht on week days and all day Sunday to allow no gambling or selling of liquor to Intoxicated persons or uiiuors and to give bonds In the sum of $300,000 for the faithful performance of these requirements.
Under the law the authorities, it would seem, might make such an arrangement and it la said the oouncll Is seriously considering the proposition. If Joiiet concludes to adopt this plan of dealing with the liquor problem, it is likely that other cities may investigate the matter with a view of similar action, as there would be obvious advan? u:es In having the traffic confined to a a.ugle Arm and restricted In such manner an would then be practicable. It would be much easier to make a single firm obey the law than to make a hundred or a thousand do so. There would them be no competition, expenses would be considerably reduced, and the syndicate in control of the business could afford to.be decent.
We hope the JoUet people wlU try it and give the rent of the country an exhibition of a saloon syndicate.
TttK SOCIAL PROBLEM. A noted contribution to the literature of economic science is an article in the current number of the Nineteenth Century by Rev. Wra. Barry, an Eugllah priest* in which he arraigns the existing •octal conditions as a "Hetehasser's feast glorified by some under the name of modern civiliaation and by other# loathed as a combination of luxury and sacrilege," and discloses that it has been judged and found wanting. Be argues that science has laid the foundation for a revolution In the social order and that it Is the duty of religion to mold the new system. "Christianity, dsafttened by the lessons of the past, mmt take up the problem now and with the aid of m&mm work exit or itfcete will be
While diMtnalone like ibis art going on among educated men of heart and mind in England, mm laborers on a protracted strike for the privtt of earning from SQ cent* to ft a Their .•loyer* are reaisUng this de-
mand with great stubborn ess and will defeat the men if it be possible.
In our own country, with that spirit of enterprise always characteristic of our people, the leaven of industrial reform is working with an ever-widening influence. Beliany's "Looking Backward," although but the new expression of ideas as old as Sir Thomas More and Plato,{has struck a popular chord. Men are thinking, talking and writing about it and clubs are being organized in different parts of the country to agitate the subject of industrial organization upon new lines. Men are asking why the government should not send the telegrams of the people as well as their letters, why it should not control and operate the railroads, and perhaps do other things for the benefit of the masses*
It is impossible to foresee all that may develop from this discussion, but it is certain that only good can come of it. Human thought will not go backward nor will it stand still. The great problem that confronts the age Is the relations of men to each other, the production and disposition of wealth. The hardship, injustice and evils of the present arrangement are generally admitted but it is not seen how they are to be remedied. The custom has been to say there is no remedy for them. We have no right to say that, or to think it. There is always abetter way if the present way Is not good. What is needed is to find it, and the way to find it is to think seriously and continuously about it. Little by little new light comes and in time a fair and just solution of the hard problem Is arrived at.

WONDERFUL METAL.
SSa
of alu-
The remarkable properties minum have long been known. Beautiful as sliver, stronger than iron, in lightness nearly equalling wood, incapable of being tarnished, excelling steel for durability, making when faced with copper a compound as beautiful as gold, it would be the most useful of all the metals but for its cost. Yet it is the most abundant of all the metals, for it is everywhere. Common clay is its ore and the expense of reducing it has been the only difficulty. In this respect it resembles water, which when separated into the gasses that compose it would make all the fuel and light we would need. But no cheap way has yet been found to divorce the close marital relations of oxygen and hydrogen.
It is said that the discoverer of the only cheap way of obtaining aluminum recently died taking his secret to the grave with him. If this be true it is a serious loss the world. But the secret of doing anything in this Avorld cannot perish with any one life. Nature provides against such contingencies. Some other discoverer will arise and refind the old way or bring to light anew one that will be bettor than the old. If It is possible to produce aluminum cheaply, a way will be found to do it in due time.
Speaking of the possibilities of the wonderful metal the Chicago Journal says: -'The favored child of the aluminium ago will probably live in a gorgeous aluminium house that is both lighted and heated by electricity. He will probably walk on an aluminium pavement if he deigns to walk at all. He will ride in an aluminium carriage drawn not by horses but by thunderbolts which will be but a Bmall edition of the palatial train that will take him to the ends of the world In a space of time now hardly to be imagined. His ornaments will be aluminium and his tools will be aluminium. His boats, which will be infinately stronger and swifter than our famous iron steamers, will be aluminium. He will be able to bridge Lake Michigan as easily as we bridge the Mississippi. He will possess a musical instrument whose tones will be more exquisite than any we have ever heard. His artillery officers will fire an aluminium ball from an aluminium cannon that will attain a range that will make the thirteen mile range of our great Krupp guns look perfectly insignificant," .'f
Terre Haute is revenged. The local ball club wiped the earth with the Evansville ball aggregation, at the park, yesterday afternoon, defeating them by a score of 12 to 4. The Terre Hautes entered into the game determined to win snd conclusively prove that their recent defeat at Evansvlile's bands was purely accidental, and succeeded bevond all expectations. Their baiting was marvelous, and that the crowd appreciated it was evidenced when Connelly knocked his home run. A shower of money was thrown him from the grandstand and it was necessary to stop the game for him to collect it. The betting honors were taken by Oonley, Kite -rg and Dougan, and the fielding laurels by Sneider. No more glorious victory could have been asked for. Davenport wiil play here Monday afternoon.

For Woman's Eye.
MARY H. KROTJT ON THE QUESTION OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE—SUPERFLUOUS WOMEN.
Whatever arguments may be urged against the enfranchisement of women —and they are many and weighty—it must be admitted that the men and women who are laboring to bring it about are not the lawless or the ignorant, writes Mary
H.
Krout, in the Chicago
Inter Ocean. From Mrs. Stanton to Maria Mitchell they have represented the highest moral, intellectual, and educational force of the Nation. Their convictions have been based upon honest belief, which has resulted from close observation and careful thinking.
The women who assemble in convention from time to time come from model homes, bringing with them opinions which have been matured in rearing their children and in presidingover their households. There are few who can not perform with their own hands all the duties that the unforeseen emergencies of domestic life may require.
They now represent, numerically, a, constituency which foots up in the thousands. It is distributed throughout tho country, Norih, South, East and West, combining all political and religious beliefs, and these in their highest development. It is a constituency of clean morals, of cultivated minds, and trained hands, which, while seeking rights for itself, has for its ultimate purpose the elevation of the race through the political liberation of women.
It is doubtful if any other body, equaling this in character, in ability, in wealth even, could have had its appeals so absolutely disregarded, year after year.
The leading women suffragists in the United States are the wives and mothers of lawyers and physicians and influential business men, women whose
huB-
bands are fully in sympathy with them, aiding and advising them. They are the teachers, the women in profession^ the newspaper women, the book and magazine writers, office holders, and those at the head of great public and private enterprises.
While there are identified with them, as there always has been and always will be in every reform, the fanatical and the foolish, the great mass are representative women. They are not tb% idlers, the drones, the ignorant, the farrow or tho selfish they are those who jjjsidng nltiou for themselves, be|i|ive hon that enfranchisement met est good to the greatest nij

One of the best known the West is Mrs. Zerelda step-mother of General Lew woman of remarkably strong-jfa of deep religious feeling. She second wife of Governor William lace, of Indiana, and, to those who her in the first years of her mar: her subsequent public work little less than miraculous. W children were growing up hei time and thought were devoted I In thoso days, In the primitive town, servants were scarce and trained. No position and no degree1 wealth could guarantee faithful or satisfactory service. Then, as now, the lady who presided at the table had frequently to prepare the feast in the kitchen unaided, and to do the honors as hostess afterwards. Mrs. Wallace's husband was absorbed in politics. During his lifetime she seldom went anywhere but to church, being an earnest, prayerful woman, from her girlhood a believer in the doctrines taught by Alexander Campbell.

After her children were grown and established in homes of their own, she became deeply interested in temperance And when past fifty, having been all her life wholly absorbed in domestic affairs, she suddenly developed a marvelous gift for public speaking. She is a woman of fine presence. She has strong, intellectual features, brilliant eyes, and iron-gray hair. A Boston paper described her graphically and concisely thus: "She looks and speaks like a man." The quality and strength was implied, however, and not that which is meant as disparagement in the term "masculine." She has a deep, mellow voice, oonsum mate dignity, convincing earnestness that warms into eloquence. Mentally and morally within the past fifteen years she has been expending powers that were latent but slowly developing, as she made and mended and watched beside the cradle of her children. She Is all that can be implied in that most honorable title: "A Mother in Israel."
There has biih a good deal of talk in recent years concerning superfluous women. It was currently reported that the superfluity reached its maximum in Massachusetts, where a very considerable portion of the taxee is paid by the so-called superfluous class. There is also a marked numerical inequality between the aexee in Connecticut and New York, and the single city of Philadelphia, with a feminine surplus of 33,000, an intimation that a like elate of affair* exists In the Keystone State,
A
recent appeal from the West shows that while there is a hearty welcome waiting nmated women on the Pacific slope, where the superfluity is masculine, there la no disposition on the part of the more fortunate 1dittos to reduce the surplus as suggested. The Philadelphia Record not'- Mr. Butler, the secretary of Mayor fritter, as saying, after reading the appeal of the men of the coming state of Washington for marriageable women: "We all feel very, very eorry for the in* numerable bachelor eons and brother* of Taooma,botwedon*tfee! eo eorry as to be willing to ahip a batch of our Philadelphia maidens to the Ttaoma em. We have a good many yonng wom
en of marriageable age but unmanageable prospects here in this great city, but we don't propose to cart them off to the far West like so many dressed beeves. Taeoma's mayor knew better than to apply to Pennsylvania for aid. "No application has been received by Philadelphia's chief as yet, and if one comes it will be indignantly torn to tatters before it is consigned to the waste basKet. Because of Massachusetts' many mills she has a big surplus of females, and some hundreds of them could be spared and never missed. But, though Philadelphia's surplus is something like 85,000, we want them every one, and if Tacoma needs a dear girl or two she'll have to look elsewhere."
The mournful condition of Washington Territory draws attention to the fact that throughout the Western and Southwestern Territories the scarcity of females is appalling. In Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and Idaho the number of men is more than double the number of women, while in Monta na nearly three-fourths of the population is male. In Texas and New Mexico an equally doleful condition of things exists. It Is only in Massachusetts and Salt Lake City that the female population approaches superfluity.
