A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Nutes and Comment.

I^et it rain if only for a day. The city council of Terre Haute is a burden for which the citizens are beginning to see there is na relief.

An eastern paper credits a western paper with Raying "the Czar will not be accompanied to Berlin by the Czardine."

The three Indianapolis breweries were taken in by the English syndicate. This is near to Terre Haute, but nevertheless we have so far escaped.

The Pekin Gazette asserts that nineteen hundred of Its editors have been beheaded, and claims to have been in existence for a thousand years. This journal can truly be said to have consumed more brain power than any other paper in the world.

Not a mile of new railway has been built in Iowa this year. This is strange as in the majority of states railroad construction has been unusually active. It may be accounted for by the fact that railroads temporarily autgrow the state in rapid construction of previous yeasr.

The steamship City of New York had a varied experience on her recent home voyage from Europe. First her engines broke down, then a passenger committed suicide, next she caught afire, and finally ran aground off New York. But she is now on the surface of the water .and in good trim

A sensational story is going the rounds of the papers to the eflfect that President Mackey, of the E. & T. H., has set out to traverse on foot the 400 miles of track operated by him, for the purpose of acquiring a minute knowledge ot Its condition and requirements. It la not desired to ioainuate a demoralised condition of his property, bat we hope the report will be proved true. "Eyes that see" are often better than "ears that hear." He will find tt so.

It seems rather strange, but nevertheless it is more than likely true, that notwithstanding the admission of four new StatOH, presidential elections will still hinge on the results in Indiana and New York. And this means that for some time to couio these elections will not be rid of an element of corruption that is appalling. ______

In old documonts, lately copied from the archleves in Paris, there is this by a French observer who had visited America: "This great man (Washington) has only one defect, very creditable to him —too much Intourity for a party leader." The observation was true, and happily Washington lived at a time when the nation's leader was not party leader as In this generation.

The United States government has went an expedition to Africa for the purpose of observing the eclipse of the *un on December 22. In these days the United States of America are on hand wherever progress, scientific or otherwise, is to „*esulu Our advancement is not confined to one direction. It extends into every branch of civilisation, moral, intellectual or physical.

It is said that carpet manufacturers are on the eve of combining to prevent overproduction but with a mild, muddy winter like that of last year their combine will possibly not be necessary. If there is any one thing that exasperates a tidy housekeeper It is slushy winter weather, for it means that mud will be tracked all over the house day In and day out to the ruination of oar pets.

The Western Union telegraph company is still in fairly satisfactory financial health. The surplus now in the treasury is only $8,611,401, and the earnings for the yoar ending June 80th were only 11,147,470 in excess of the preceding year. At the present rate of increase in value it will not be many years until the socialist?' cry for the "division of wealth" will bo changed to "division of Western Union stock."

2:10 Guy, 2:10# and St. Julien, 2:115*. These are all older ttfkn Axtell^ and at his age made no such record as a mile in 2:12. There is good reason to expect, therefore, that Axtell will surpass them all when his abilities as a racer shall be fully developed. It was upon this expectation that the enormous price paid for him, #105,000, was based. It will be interesting to sec if this promise of remarkable speed in the future will.be realized and patrons of the turf will probably take more interest in the performances of Axtell next season than in those of any other horse in American stables. If he shall prove to be the fastest trotter yet bred it will be a matter of some distinction in sporting circles that our lively, dashing city was the place chosen by this equine phenomonon to paralyze the world with his unheard of feat.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Elizabeth W. Cooper died at the residence of her son-in-law. Dr. S.J. Young, at 1:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Cooper was the wife of Mr. John Cooper, who came from England with Robert Dale Owen when he founded his famous commnnity at New Harmony, and acted as his business manager until his death. For the past five years she has made her home with her only daughter, Mrs. Young. Mrs. Cooper was a woman of remarkable vitality and although between 80 and 90 at the time of her death, had full possession of all her saculties. Death was the result of a paralytic stroke received three weeks Ago. Brief funeral services were held Monday morning, after which the remains were taken the New Harmony where several generations of the family are laid at rest.

Tu Monday evening's issue the Gazette replied in a column editorial to T. T.'s criticism of the uncalled for and almost inexcusable insults to President Harrison. The article was lengthy, but the apology read between the lines was sufficiently humble to justify a partial acceptance. No explanation of the meaning of the "Deacon Harrison" was given but T.

I send you the papers so that you can see what was said and done. Lunch was served to the delegates both days in the basement of the church, and was the most perfectly manaeed and in the best style of anything of the kind I have ever seen.

against the smoke and noise raised by residents living near the works. A year has not passed since the promise was given but as yet no move in the direction of fulfillment has been made. The people of that part of the city, temporarily quieted, are beginning again to complain. The heavyjclouds of smoke rising day and night from the tall stacks carry coal dust and soot all over the neighborhood in such quantities that unless the wind blows In a favorable direction it is folly to open a window or door.

Don't, for pity's sake, quote that old saying anymore. It has been exploded, along with a host of other old sayings. As for "deacon's daughters," I have known a great many, and, almost without exception, any one of them could be utilized as the heroine of a Sunday-school book.

In this list are found the names of Madame Trollope, Mrs. Barbauld, Jane Taylor, Elizabeth Carter, the Bronte' sisters, and Mrs. Stowe. This testimony is from an independent source and from a keen observer, and you are doubtless convinced that minister's sons are not a bad lot.

The Decorative Art Society held their first meeting of the season at Miss Etta Blake's, Thursday. There were present beside the members, Mrs. Charles Oakey, Miss Jennie Watson, Mrs. R. P. Ijams, Mrs. Ellison, of Cincinnati Miss Fowler, of Philadelphia Mrs. John §. ]EUack and Miss Mary Fowler.

I heard the other day of anew afternoon "reading" that is to be started by the ladles of the South Eud. I also heard of anew literary society composed of women, to be held In the evening. So you see Terre Haute women are wide awake. Afternoon reading clubs seem to have found favor everywhere. A lady from Washington told me she belonged to one composed of thirty-five members. There is no study required they simply select interesting books and each one reads so many minutes. Woe be to the unlucky wight who mispronounces a word, for the critic immediately swoops down on her. I saw, not long sinoe, the programme of a literary club in a neighboring town—a small town, too, and one of the books to be studied in the oourse was Argyle's "Reign of Law." If you have ever seen the book you will appreciate the undertaking. It is not a book the average woman would read for pastime. Sincerely your own

To-night the Jos. Dowling anl Sadie Ha88on company will appear atNaylor's In the excitidfe play, "Nobody's Claim," apiece which is said to contain enough fun and excitement for everybody. The piece is well known and the fact that the company plays here at popular prices, will undoubtedly draw a big house.

RICE'S BIG BURLESQUE "THE COKSAIR." What is claimed to be the grandest spectacular production that has ever been presented in Terr^ Haute, "The Corsair*" -will •fee' hfosgfefc^j?^ -at ,-the opera house pn next Thursday and Fridav evenings of next week, Oct. 24th and 2oth. "The Corsair," is built on the general lines that distinguished "Evanggeline," except perhaps that it has in its production considerably more scenery. Its text Is for the most part rhyme, and tho plot is a burlesque on Byron's poem of the same name. The "lyrics" are by J. Cheever Goodwin and the music is the joint production of E. E. Rice and John T. Brabam. The scenery used occupies the entire stage. The first act opens in the market place and slave bazzar of Stamboul, a very effective Oriental scene, with the Bosphorus in the distance. The third scene of the same act represents a ship at sea. In the second act the pirates' grotto and the gardens of the pasha are both georgeous with color in the latter a fountain of real water plays amid prismatic colors making a beautiful effect. The last act, however, is the most georgeous of all. This is the harem of the pasha in the Palace of Curtains, and the transformation scene at the close, the "Palace of Pearl" forms a climax to the succession of stage pictures. "The Corsair" carries a very large company, numbering nearly sixty artists, and the specialties introduced are the best that could be secured abroad. The advance sale opens on Tuesday morning, Oct. 22. "The Burglar," the new four-act com edy-drama by Mr. Gus Thomas, which made such a decided hit in its long ran at the Madison Square Theatre during the past summer, will be presented at Naylor's on Saturday evening, Oct. 28th. In speaking of the play an exchange says:

It is an Interesting emotional irtOry of the double life of a respectable gentlemen, who was led into crime, became m1 and married happily, only to be ioroed back into his fonSef if/e by threatened exposure from his former nosed death the wife marries again and the fmrglar enters the wife's home at midnight and is confronted by his own child.

(which qualities, however, are character-' istio of the woman), she has shown in adding to her repretoire Balfe's beautiful opera "Rose of Castile," which was so phenomenally successful in London a few years ago. She proposes to make a feature of this work during the present season and when in Paris procured all the correct stage business, setting, costurning, orchestration and all the other details necessary to give a complete and: artistic representation of the opera. Its presentation by Emma Abbott will be the first oooassion upon which this opera has been done In this city, and it should) prove an event of unusual importance to: the musical portion of the community.^ In Queen of Castile, Miss Abbott has| found the most oongenial role of her career. The brilliant, florid music is admirably adapted to her voice and she: studied the role duriug the entire summer with the greatest vocal and dramat-, ic teachers in Europe. The main obstacle heretofore in the way of producing' this opera has been the difflulty encountered im providing a suitable cast. With the brilliant artists rallied in the Abbott company this season, all of whom have strong parts, a splendid oast has been seleoted and in addition to Emma Abbott as the Queen, there will appear Michelena, the famous tenor Armandale, the popular, contralto Myna Mirella, the lovely young prima donna Broderick, Allen, Keady, Karland Faust, bassos. The costumes worn by Emma Abbott are bewildering in their beauty and richness. They were manufactured by Worth, in Paris, from designs taken especially for this production in the galleries of art. The prima donna will also wear her famous collection of diamonds. The strength and brilliancy of the oast must be apparent to even those but slightly acquainted with operatic matters and whon in addition there are the renowned Abbott ohorus and orchestra, whioh are stronger than ever before. An assemble is formed that for strength and effectiveness has never been equalled In the history of English opera.

CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM. Rev. Charles F. Goss has a thoughtful* andJB^l-tempered article in the Statesmt^pMgaftlne for Octobef, which is an attempt to consider the great economic problems of the age from a Christian point of view. Distinguishing between socialism as it is generally known and Christian socialism as established by Jesus, the writer says: "Socialism says:

4All

thine is mine.' Christian socialism says:4All mine is thine.' Pointing out the evils of the present industrial system, he says: "Competion has been pushed to its logical extreme. It means that men must strain every nerye to undersell each other. The strongest always prevail. The weakest go to the wall. The successful thrive on the destruction of their rivals. Large firms absorb small ones. It is considered honorable to crush competitors. Selfishness is the mainspring of all this cruel process. Bitterness and dishonesty result, and all trade is being centralized in great monopolies."

Necessarily this condition tends to divide society into class, wage-payers and wage-takers. "Employes compete for wages as employers do for t^ade. Each seeker after work, when ont of a position, is tempted to undersell the worker who is In. This excites animos'r ity snd awakens selfishness. The em-^ ploy er,. driven by competition, is forced#'*' to take the lowest bidder. This necessarily must tend, like the steaay force of gravity, to drag wage* down. The operation of this principle will perpetrate Injustice and poverty to all eternity."

Is there no better system than this? os be he re is an ha it will be found in the extension of the co-operative principle which has already been applied in the carrying of the mails, the education of children, the conduct of the police or fire departments and the furnishing of water for the people by municipal authority. Ut every man be an employe of society. Let all business enterprises be conducted for the benefit of society. Let all men be upon salaries. Let there be no private property save that whioh is purely personal. Then we should have no millionaires cursed by wealth which is a constant temptation to pride and selfishness and a constant treat to society. Then we should have no loafers, for all men would be compelled to Join the great industrial army, and when new inventions and new combinations made production easier, instead of men being thrown out of work, the hours of labor would be shortened. One of the largest employers of labor in America said the other day: 'There is not work enough to go ronnd during ten hour day.' It wss the most terrifflc denunciation of the present system. It makee tramps a neocesity."

It may or may not be the true solution of the labor problem, but there are suggestions here which are worth considering. There to room for a g*eat deal of improvement is our present social and industrial systems. How can that improvement be brought about.
