NATIONALISM.

Tlie Sunset Club, of Chicago, which is eon'.posed of some of the leading men of that city, at its last meeting discussed the subject of Nationalism, as deliniated in Edward Bellamy's famous botk, "Looking backward." There wasa surprisingly strong sentiment in favor of tin theory, or of some modified form of nationalism. lr. Thomas, the wellknown minister, did not know as we should ever quite attain to Bellamy's I'topia, but was sure that we would adopt many oi Ids suggestions.

THE November namber of the Statesman has a compact and rigorous argument in favor of government control of the telegraph. The best argument that can be made for such a change is the report of the Western Union for the past year, which shows net profits of over $6,000,000 on the total business of |20,000,000, or 30 per cent, for a service which the national government coald render in connection with a postal telegraph at an enormous reduction of cost, since it would not have the four-fold watered stock of the Jay Gould monopoly to carry.

THAT Thanksgiving dinner was a great success—mortso perhaps than the Thanksgiving sermon. Liet us hope the sermon was good, too, and that it fulfilled its mission. There is one feature of thd day that is specially pleasant to dwell upon—we mean the custom* which is coming into wider prevalence of having the children of the public schools bring their offerings for the poor. It is a happy sight to see the little ones trudging off to school with their can of corn or tomatoes or fruit or baig of nuts or oranges, or whatever else their childish fancy may select, to help make a good dinner for the unfortunate ones who are not so favored as themselves. Surely the Thanksgivingdinner at home tastes the better for the thought that some one elne's dinner is better that day for the small gifts they have sent.

ONE TROUBLE.

Ii has been found that one of the troubles with Congress and our State Legislatures is the preponderance- oi lawyers and the lack of business men in those bodies. Irt the English House of Commons more than one-half the members are from the ranks of agriculture, trade and industry, while our House of Representatives contains only 09 non-pro-fossionnl men out of a total of 333 members, or about 20 pet cent.

The lawyers are well enough in their place but we can have too many of them as law-makers. It is charged that tho whole mass of special legislation in the interest of corporations and monopolies lias been tho work of the lawyers and that the English Jaw is much more free of such objectionable acts.

It certainly seoms desirable to try tho experiment of sending more of our longheaded, prosperous business men to represent (lie people in our National and Siato Legislatures. They would take a eonimon sense view of things, would do less hair-splitting and the result would probably bo better and simpler laws, whieh everybody could easily understand, and which would mot be in the interest of corporations and the money power. The experiment is worth a trial.

tho Chicago

Xationid Club,.gaveaomestatistics which he had been at pains to gather. In 1830 the wages of the workmen were from 50 cents to $1 per day. Since that time the introduction of modern machinery enables tlie laborer to do from 20 to 30 times the amount of work he could do then. His work to-day should therefore be worth from $10 to $30 a day. Iu 1880 there wesce over 15,000,600 workmen in thi country and their yearly product was only about ten billion dollars, or between L1 and ftO cents a day per capita. As :o cents a day per head of population is nil that was produced it is clear that the people could not have more than that amount, and as some had more than that it is inevitable that some had much less. Tlie increasing density of population and the increasing number of the unemployed create a competition for employment which must necessarily resuit in di nmiishing wages and tho purchasing power of the people. To insure a consumption equal to tho producsive capacity, profit must cease to be the motive of production and production must to carried on only for the purpose of satisfying the wants of tne people h:it is by the natioo, as an organized ody.

Sii. ii is the theory of the Nationalists and the fact that tho proposition is seriOUMV considered by thinking men and women shows the dissatisfaction which prevails with existing conditions. The progress of industrial reform agitation luts toiHi remarkable within the past year or two. It has spread all over the eoiin try. The press is tilled with iscussioti* of it, the pulpit has a good deal to say about it, it is the theme of debate in hundreds of clubs and societies. The jtcople are becoming fully aroused to the dangers which menace the nation from the concentration of wealth. Let us hope that awkkeued thought will lead to action.

AMUSEMENTS.

OLD I.AVENDKn,

This evening the famous author and actor, Edward Harrigan, supported by a large aud carefully selected company, will appear at Naylor's opera house in "Old Lavender," one of Mr. Uarrigan's most delightful plays. In the title roln Mr. Harrigan assumes the portrayal of a character to be seen every day in every city in the land. There is a strong moral lesson taught in this play and those persons who decry the stage for its socalled evil influence would do well to see a play such as Mr. Harrigan presents this evening. The advance sale has been quite large and a crowded house is an assured fact.

TH.IiOTSON'8 ZIG-ZAG.

W. W. Tillotson'8 merry comedy company will be seen at Naylor's opera house on Thursday evening, Dec. 5th, in that very laughable musical farce com edy

uZig-Zag."

It is impossible ^to

watch the bright young soubrette, Miss Anna Boyd, and not forget all the troubles one has to contend with in daily life. It seems to be the mission of the interpreters of the very fuuny farcecomedy to make one forget there is such a thing as melancholia. The songs are bright and the choruses and dances are novel and clever. W. W. Tiliotson's company is a clever one all around. The members are not only comedians and comediennes but also vocalists of high ability- The trios and quartettes in "Zig-Zag" are supremely sweet and the comic songs are so catchy that one hears them whistled everywhere. The advance sale opens on Tuesday at Button's. LTsual prices.

PROFESSOR HERMANN.

The emtnentr prestidigitator, Hermann, will appear at Naylor's on Friday and Saturday evenings, tec. 6th and 7th and at a special matinee Saturday, in a wonderful and mystifying performance. Hermann will be assisted by Mrs. Hermann, Abuie Kahn Necromancer, LePetite Freddy, the child pher.omen, and others. The entertainment is one that can only be described as an event of mirth, magic and mystery, and one worth traveling miles to see. Hermann will introduce all his latest successes, including The Resurection of Crowley, The New Crematioh, The New Black Art, Magic in Fairyland, the New Vanishing Lady, Spirltuiism exposed and tho Dark Mystery of 1720. It has been along time since Hermann has appeared in this city and the management are to be commended in securing a date with him, as he confines Himself entirely to the best theatres iu all the large cities, as there will be three performances given. Every man, woman and child, in this city that can so should attcud one of the performances, at least, HS this will probably be the last chance to see, tho wonderful Hermann. Seats go on sale Wednesday at Button's*

THK BOSTON QUINTETTE CLUB.

-The Boston Quintette Club will give a concert under the auspices of the Torre Haute Concert Association at Naylor's Opera House, Tuesday evening, December 3d. This will be-a strictly first class musical entertainment, as all who have heard this club well know and any one who has never heard them should fail to attend this concert. Not to speak of the other artists of the club, it may be said that the first violinist, Mr. Rhodes, is one of our greatest American violin ists that Herr Adolph Burose is one of the finest llutists that Germany has produced, and that with the exception of Herr Geise, of Boston, Mr. Louis Blumenberg is the greatest violoncellist in this country. Miss Carpenter, the soprano, received her musical education under one of the best teachers in Paris. Prices of admission, 25, 50 and 75 cents Advance sale commences at Button's to-day.

The charming commedienne, Victoria Vokes, supported by an excellent comedy company, will appear at Naylor's opera house on Tuesday evening, Dec, 10th, in a double bill of comedy.
