TEKRE HAUTE, OCTOBER 19, 1889.
VICE-PRESIDENT MORTON
expects to
take 160,000 a year in rent out of his grand new apartment house in Washington. A man thai can do the like of that doesn't need to worry about his salary.
EDWARD BELLAMY, the author of "Looking Backward," has met the fate which overtakes every successful writer sooner or later. He has been accused of plagiarism and that too by a person whose story he never saw or heard of before writing his own. This also is not an uncommon experience. No one ever succeeds but there are those who did not succeed ready to claim the merit of his success.
ONE of the propositions in connection with the World's fair at Chicago is to have a world's congress at the same time —to draw together men of science and learning, statesmen, jurists, eminent divine*, in short, distinguished persons in ail departments of learning, for the the discussion of various questions that arc of Interest to mankind. The suggestion is a good one and seems to be meeting with popular favor.
CIIAUNCEY DKPKW is a funny man but the funniest thiuK he has ever said is that there is no fun in anything but politics. Home people have thought that it must be rather funny for the big''talkie man" to ride over the country in a private car, surrounded by jolly companions, eating good in ners and making speeches after them. At any rate the average politician would find more fun in that than trying to satisfy a hundred hungry oflice-seekers with a single olflce.
"0 ATIT," the great correspondent, Is of the opinion that New York is about to go into a decline. This can hardly be true. In a country where such vast resources yet undeveloped it is not probable that any city will decline, except in a relative sense. Some of the western cities, notably Chicago, may however grow faster than New York from now on, and It is not unlikely that Chicago will 1« the largest city in the Union in the first quarter of the uext century.
IK Chicago doesn't get the World's fair there will not be much use for any other city trying for it. Besides $5,000,000 by subscription, they have already opened headquarters in Washington and will tackle the congressmen as they come in. New York acts as she were pmetlofilly out of the race which is probably truo. The Indianapolis council has unanimously indorsed Chicago—a very proper thing to do. The west will be united for Chicago, believing that it is time an international exhibition were held somewhere else than on the eastern seaboard.
A uoon many of the politicians are in the dumps because the administration has "ignored" them, as they claim. In their opinions the President has made a signal failure of his work so far. But the country at largo has not bt?en heard from yot, and after all the politicians do not carry the whole country In their vest pockets. There are rawher more voters than politicians and they are not led as little lambs by the "bosses," whose only aim is to get offices for themeelves or their friends. If Gen. Harrison shall apoolnt only fit men to office and shall give the country a good, levelboaded administration of publlo affaire, be will be Indorsed by the people, whethor the politicians like hlB way of doing things or not.

are not done with the tariff question yet. by any means. The free traders are as rampart as ever, while the conviction is constantly growing amoug intelligent men that considerable modification should be made In our present tariff laws. This view prevails among Republicans as well as Democrats and it is believed that President Harrison, in his forthcoming message to Congress, will recommend somelmportantchanges in existing laws on the subject. As the Republicans will now haye a working majority in both houses, as well as a Republican executive, there will be no excuse for failure to adopt a tariff revision in harmony with their ideas and should they fail to do so the country would be likely to rebuke them at the next national election. The Democrats found it impossible as a party to agree

it may choose. It might, however, proceed in another way. "By bringing so many lines into a consolidated and harmonious management, expenses can be reduced, large economies effected, and the net earnings of the roads so increased that enhanced profits could be made without putting np rates on the public. With so many lines operated as one system the service might be improved and rates* reduced to the advantage of shippers, while largely increased dividends could be paid to stockholders. If such a policy should be adopted public hostility would soon disappear and the amalgation of railroads would be looked upon with no more disfayor than the concentration and extension of any private business," so says the Chicago Tribune
In any event the transaction seems to be a startling fulfillment of Bellamy's prediction in "Looking Backward," that the consolidation of great corporations will go on so rapidly towards the close of this century that the people will be forced 1o take hold of the matter as organized society for their own protec tion.
THE same kind of argument that has been urged against Bellamy, yiz. that his ideas are as old as Thomas More and Plato, is now brought to bear on Henry George. It is said that his theory of governmont ownership of land was advanced by Patrick Edward Do re in England forty years years ago but received no attention to speak of. and from this it is thought to follow that the world will take as little interest in the matter now. There is not much force to such an argument. It is in this as in other things. The soil must be ready to receive the seed or it will not be fruitful. It has often happened that an idea rejected in one century is accepted in another. The reformer who is born too soon may be burned in effigy or burned at the stake. When the reformer and the time meet the world makes a sudden bound forward. We are not saying that Henry George is such a reformer, or that the world is now ripe for his ideas but the argument that similar ideas were rejected fifty years or fifty centuries ago is without merit. By the same token we should be believing that the earth is flat and that the sun sails round it every twenty-four hours.
Herbert Holding, one of last year's Polytechnic seniors, who went to Lyman, Mass., to work in the Thompson Huston plant, recently met with a peculiar injury by touching a "live" wire. He fell from the ladder on which he was standing at the time, struck a running lathe, and was thrown over-on his head upon the floor. He has now recovered by finds that his sense of smell is entirely wanting.
Harry Schloss arrived home Wednesday night from his thre9 months'trip abroad. He is much improved in health and his appearance fully indicated his Increase of twenty pounds in weight* His trip over Europe was a delightful one, including bi'ief stays at all the principal places of interest. At Stuttgart he met Rev. Corning, who with his daughter, has been spending the sum mer abroad, and while going down the Rhine met the Rev. Hendei'son and wife. He has returned to Terre Haute with the intention of going into the business in his father's old store.
At a dinner not long ago ttie late Wilkle Collins related instances proving how impossible it was to introduce inio a novel descriptions of places and thi'ugs wholly imaginary. In one of his works he described a house which he had never seen, and which was entirely the offspring of his imagination. A few days after the the publication a man called upon him to protest against the introduction of his house into his novel. Strange to say, the pages of the novel contained a perfect description of the man's property. At another time he used at one of his characters a man who was so exact about his eatings that he weighed every morsel which entered his stomach. Mr. Collins had in reality never heard of such a man. He was greatly surprised, one week after the appearanoe of his book, by the visit of an utter stranger, who wished to know by what right Mr. Collins made him ridiculous in print by mentioning 099 of his peculiarities.
