THK vfcice of the political demagogue will not be hoard again In the land for some time to come, and the pity is that it cannot be stilted forever.

The next infliction the country will be the meeting of congress, which may be expected to do some foolish things now that the presidential contest is over.

MUCH more money would have changed bands on the result last Tuesday had the foresight o' the fellows who didn't bet been as good as their hlndsight.

COOK county, Illinois, had 100,000 new voters last Tuesday, and they played a very important part in the result In that state. Evidently Chicago is drifting in the direction of Tammany ways.

THK conno papers of the country might vary the monotony of their jokes by printing some of the election predictions made by eminent men of both parties a few days prior to the election.

Now THAT the election is over it is to be hoped tho country will proceed to business in the usual way, and that the prosperity which has prevailed during the last four years will continue dto its course without interruption.

Now THAT the election is over the Indiana Supreme court should give its attention to the gerrymander law. That iniquitous piece of legislation should not be allowed to stand upon the order of its going, but should retire at once.

CHICAGO objects to bringing tho dust of Columhus to tho World's Fair. What Chicago wants just now is the dust of the living, and it wants it iu large quantities. When it comes to wanting anything Chicago is willing to take the whole earth.

LAST Tuesday twenty-eight states voted under tho Australian system for tho first time at a general election. That was tho reason tho roturus came in so slowly, bi/t they got there in plonty of time for tho defeated candidates.

As a party the Weaver following didn't materialize to any great extent iu this portion of the political vineyaid last Tuesday. Hut that doesn't matter. Four years hence it will c.ime up smiling again, claiming the earth and getting nothing.

THK Chinaman has found a place at last. Down in Brazil the government has passed a bill for the encouragment of Chinese immigration. If the Celestials can stand tho revolutionary customs of tho country, and after the years of experience they have had here they doubtless can, Brazil will soon be overrun with them. The average Chinaman can stand anything if there's money in it, and that is the reason he is to be found in the remotest corners of the earth.

LAST Sunday was tho anniversary of anarchism in Chicago and 3,500 of tho faithful gathered at thegraveof Parsons, Spies et al, where they listeued to speeches in a drilling rain. In one sense of the word the celebration of this anniversary is a good thing, because it reminds these fellows that for once at least, justice was meted out to tlve murderers, and that they will receive the same punlshmeutfor a similar crime. It is only the certainty of punishment which holds such miscreants In check. _____

THK "wild and wooly west" has, it appears, no charms for Miss Lillian Russell, who says she fouud uo civilisation west of the Rocky mountains, and remarks: "It was a woman who uttered the epigram, 'There is no Sunday west of the Missouri, and no God west of the PUtte.'" The fair Lillian went west after the round, hard dollars of the peo pie out there and wasn't appreciated. Her efforts to double up on Now York prk-es were resisted. On her refusal to reduce prices the papers adviseit the people to stay away from the performances and the advice was taken. Hence Miss Russell's failure to discover any society out there.

ARE BUSINESS PROFITS TOO LARGE? An interesting paper on the above sub ject is contributed to the Popular Science Monthly by J. B. hUnn, He holds that capital, labor, skill and opportunity are four essentials necessary to any successful business, and then proceeds to analyse the proportion of compensation to be awarded the ftrst three. In the case of an ordinary country village there are to be found a number of bay* *lth capacity to labor, hut without capital and skill to conduct a largo business, and from n«c«Kiity they become laborer*. Then there are two or three p«r haps with business* ability, but uo cap! tal, and being unable to borrow they become laborers also. Occasionally *W.

r*r A

H. VanderbiU is found, having both capital and skill, and ha takes the lead, increasing his wealth rapidly, while his power to accumulate gains all the time.

AJB a man's capital increases the volume of his business naturally grows in proportion to his ambition and ability to push it, and then it is that labor looks upon him with a jealous eye. The poor man recognizes the fact that labor is ju««t as necessary t*» business as capital and asks why it in not as well rewarded. The answer must always be that it should, but that does

not

settle the point

as to the proportion of the profit $hich should go to each «»f the three essentials. An equal division would not always be fair. Take, for instance the case of the village boys, in which only one in ten has the capital and skill necessary to conduct business, while, the other nine work for him. If the profits are thirty dollars and an equal division made one would receive twenty dollars while the other nine wonld receive only obe dollar and eleven cents each.

In this, however, the poor man is mistaken. There is no legitimate business which pays labor only a third, nor is there any business which gives to capital and skill even ten dollars out of thirty. Labor gets more than two thirds of the income of moBt undertakings, and of many gets the whole, while the entire capital not only obtains nothing, but is itself lost in the venture, aud its owner relegated to the ranks of labor. The writer then goes on to show how men of business capacity push to the front and rise rapidly in the world through industry aud by taking advantage of their opportunities, while continually scheming how the most work can be accomplished on the smallest outlay. Thus the man who could act as middle-man for ten farmers in selling theirjproducts for them was sue, c:eded by the man who developed the ability to sell the product of twenty farms, and obtain better prices for the producers, by taking off a little from the commissions, soon taking all the business and driving his rivals from the field. In this way he does the work of two, and where they barely made a living he makes money faster than the farmers who raise the produce which he only sells. In a few years he may be the richest man in town, and the farmers, looking only at the result, are dissatisfied, and though he has dope the selling fur them for less than any other man had ever done it before, they complain of him as an extortioner, or robber of the poor man who has done all the work.

In the same way it is also shown that men by similar methods In all other branches of business have contiuned to to grow richer, whilelabor has continued to move along in the same old rut. Self preservation is the first law of nature, and men patronize those who do the best for tbein. As long as money is the object of life there will be men to attain It, and while all may be anxious to possess it it will accumulate in the hands of a few. This is a fact as firmly established as the starsj and no amount ot reasoning can overcome it, nor can legislation accomplish anything else. Competition always regulates prices andlgovorus profits. As it increases from year to year profits tend downward consequently it takes more talent and energy to make fortunes now than it did a few years ago. It is not so easy for a laborer to become a boss as it was and as the chances for raising to bosshood grow less the hatred of bosses increases. This is a symptom of dis content, and an evidence of the unreasonableness of the philosophy which is at tho bottom of tho schemes for relief. Capital must bo paid, skill must be paid, and, if they are each paid but two per cent, only remains for labor to get as its share, and this to the laborer whose wages are one dollar a day would amount to but three dollars a year, which amounts to something, to be sure, but as a means if elevating the laboring classes is of no account.

THE RESULT.

The election is over, and the Democratic victory is so complete that there can be no doubt of the will of the people in the matter. Not only will the next administration be Democratic but the lower house of congress will be of the same political faith by a vote of 219 to 127 Republicans and 10 Weaverites. In addition to this the changes soon to take pUce in the Senate will make that body Democratic also. It is a clean sweep, in the result of which the people are now more deeply interested than in its cause. That the McKinley bill is doomed there is no doubt, and that the change may not ruin the business .interests of the country is to b® fondly hoped.. Then there Is the currency question and bank ing, on neither of which the party as a whole is considered sound. It may be said truly that the Democratic party today holds the fate of th© nation in its hands, and much is expected of it. The election of last Tuesday was merely a vote of confidence In Grover Cleveland, and it remains to be seen whether or not he can control his follower*. It is to be hoped he can, but until his policy I# outlined the business interests of the country must remain in a state of feverish excitement and uncertainty.

THK worst feature of the election this week was the return of Jerry Simpson to congress by the Seventh Kansas district, a locality noted for Its boundless prairies, small population and the large number of people murdered in disgraceful rows over the location of county Mats.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL:

AMUSEMENTS.

The Great Lyric Novelty, Seabrooke In ••The Isle of Champagne" To-night at Xaylor's.

There is much in a name, and the title of Byrne fr Harrison's new comic opera, "T-ie Ifcle of Champagne," has no doubt helped its popularity amazingly. But Mr. Thomas Q. Seabrooke has, by his rare comedy, ability, given strength to this bright lyric effusion- and sustained its reputation as being one of the cleverest works of its class. Curiosity to see aud hear him in this remarkably brilliant novelty Is universal and full houses are the rule wherever he plays. A great audience is naturally expected at the opera house to-night when Mr. Seabrooke and his fine com^kny will be on hand to entertain us with a peep at the fun contained in the sparkling "Islaiyl of Champagne."

BOSINA VOKES.

It is seldom we are favored with the presence of so excellent a comedy organization as that headed by that wellspring of fun, Rosina Vokes. Each of the leading members of this company is versatile and capable, in his or her line of work, and the plays presented by them are clean and Wholesome, abounding in keen witticism, ludicrous situations, and an endless amount of pure fun. Miss Yokes is vivacious in manner, a divine dancer, and in her peculiar way an actress of unusual merit. She is a charming little woman, capable of forming correct

and

original conceptions of

her roles, and possessing the dramatic ability to portray these conceptions in an eflective manner. This charming and sprightly comedienne, Rosina Vokes, will be the attraction at Naylor's Opera House, Tuesday Nov. 16th. She comes for one night's visit bringing with her her excellent company of comedians, including the versatile and clever artist, Felix Morris. As is customary with this delightful organization a triple bill will begiyen composed of three distinct plays—the performance beginning with "A Game of Cards" a

act comedy adapted lrom the French, to be followed by G. W. Godfrey's exquisite comedietta "My Milliner's Bill" (iu which Miss Vokes will sing her mirth provoking song "His 'art wan true to. Poll," and conclude with "A Doublo Lesson" a comedietta in one act by B. C. Stephenson, in which both Miss Vokes and Mr. Morris are seen in their happiest roles, the former as Miss St. Almonds, a burlesque actress, and the latter as Primmer, an old Scotch Butler. The soat sale began to-day at Button's.

SIBERIA

Which built the fame of the latel&rtley Campbell, comes to Naylor's on Friday, Nov. 18. The reputation of this play has been sustained through a career of 11 years. It has been here so pftea that it is unnecessary to say mcfe than that MacDonough & Kennedy, «a managers, never belittled "Siberia" bf having two or three inferior companies on the road. The scenery this year and the costumes are new. We append a lis of the company: Mr. Chas. Brandt Miss Esther Lyons, Mr. W. T. Doyld Chas. White, Miss Gertie fciddy, Maulce Pike, Miss Dallas Tyler, E. L. DuandTheo DeVere, Miss Josie Bacon, Vininj Wood, Philo Korth, Herman Hein, ho. C. Miller John Parry, Paul BrowerfChas.
