PROTECTION AND HOME.

THE DOCTRINE OF PROTECTION IS STILL A VERY LIVE ISSUE.

Every Peraon Favors It when Benefit is to be Derived from it—How the State can Protect it* People, and how Home Industries Should be Projected.

Notwithstanding tbe success of its opponents last fall the doctrine of protection still lives, and will continue to exist as long as nations survive. Protection is self-preservation and self-preserv-ation being nature's first law every person should favor protection so far as any benefit is to be derived from it. The state senate this week passed a bill for tbe protection of home building and loan associations. It affords this protection by shutting out foreign loan associations from doingdbusiness in this state except under certain conditions, and these conditions are such as will enable the homo concerns to do all the business. While the senate has its hand in it might, go a step farther and offer some protection to the individual shareholders In aiho associations and the taxpayers of the state. There is at present no law by

which

a shareholder can know

much about the workings or condition of the association to which he or she belongs. If they all elect officers regularly not all the members in all of them know it, and in some of them only a few. There should be a law providing for tho examination of the affairs of these institions just as tho affairs of the banks are examined. When a building and loan association makes ft loan it is very paiticular about the security tendered. It must have a lirst mortgage and tho property muft bo worth at least double the amout of the loan. In addition it requires an assignment of the tire insurance policy to it and the prompt payment of tho interest every week or evory month. TnthO things are all right and proper and display good business sense, but aside from tho mortgage record giva no idea of tho amount collected from stockholders or the proportion of it loauod out to members of the associations.

Tho fact that many building and loan associations tight tho proposition for an examiner should be a strong argument •tt'ffrvor of rfuoh a rri*Mur Tbe'-lpllt of tho opposition lies in the fact that many of tho associations are carrying on an extensive banking bnsiness shielded by a legal cloak which enables them to keep secret their transactions and exempts not only themselves but those with whom they have dealings from taxation. Thero are building and loan associations in this state which are operating a largo capital of paid up stock, and their profits area bouauza to tho investors, Then thoro are others who not only utilize the money dorived from the members but borrow all they can get at a high rate of interest and loan it out among their members. Hanks that offer eveu a low rate of interest on long time deposits are looked upon with suspicion, and it is an accepted fact that no legitimate business can afford to pay ten per cent, on money to Invest ift it and ilourish. Yet there are building and loan associations that borrow all they can get at eight per cent, and have their obligations standing out at that tigure. This is all very good for the investor who can do this and escape taxation but it is unfair to tho legitimate shareholder, the banks who are transacting a legitimate business on which they pay taxes, and the taxpayers in general. In all fairness, if building and loan associations are to carry on a banking business they should be made subject to tho same restrictions which govern banks, and if they do not carry on a banking bnsiness there is no reason why their affairs should not bo looked aftei by the state for the protection of those who invest in them.

While every person should be free to make his purchases where he pleases yet at the same time protection would avail nothing if people would persist in patronising foreign institutions. Of course it may occasionally be tho case that a person cannot find a certain article at home and Is compelled to purchase it abroad, but this rarely happens. Yet there are people In this city who prefer to go to, say, Indianapolis for clothing or dry goods, Cincinnati for furniture and various other places for a diversity of things which could just as well be purchased at home. Suppose every lady in tho city would purchase all her dry goods* in other cities, all the home Institutions of the kind would soon close. If all the manufacturing institutions of the city are patronised by tho people at home it gives them just that much more to do. The patronage of home institutions Is something which should be looked at by every mechanic and lalwrc# in a philosophical light. Communities arc Hk? families and sueoood only by working harmoniously together. It in an old saving that "a house divided against itself cannot stand," and thn }«M»ple of a city who will not pull toother for the «ucess* of their institution* cannot oxpeot to see their city ptwjvr. The men of your city who Invent their suonoy la homo business en-

terprises keep tbe profits at home and invest them there, while those from abroad take tbe profit away from you and invest it elsewhere. Suppose the profit on a certain article is one hundred dollars, and is offered at the same figure by a home manufacturer and a foreign S manufacturer. If you purchase of the foreigner he takes away from your town one hundred dollars of its wealth which should have gone to those who have their money invested here and who give employment to hundreds of men.

This thing of patronizing home institutions is a matter which cannot be given too much attention, and which never receives the attention it deserves. Recent statistics show over $5,000,000 invested in business here, giving employment to about 5 500 persons. This money coyers all branches of business and manufacturing and makes a very healthy showing. It includes iron works, furnaces, foundries, flouring mills, car works machine shops, saw mills, tool works, planing mills, cigar manufactories, carriage and buggy manufactories, distillery, orewery, bakeriep, railroad shops, hominy mills, dry goods houses, groceries, builders, coal dealers and others too numerous to mention, embracing nearly every branch of business and manufacture known to tbe country. To no people in tbe city is the success of these institutions of so much^ importance as the mechanics and laboring men. .Their bread and butter depend on them, and even laying home pride aside, their own best interests demand that tbey support the home institutions. On the success of the manufacturers and business men* depend the success of tho»o who work for them. When the manufacturer is making money it means not only that the men whe are at work for him are prosperous, but it means also that his profits find investment in other ventures which give employment to tho carpenter, ouilder, laborer and painter and puts money in circulation generally where it accomplishes the greatest good for tho largest number. Tbe individual members of a community cannot act indepeudeut 01 each other if they wish it success. Tbey must all pull together, each helping his neighbor whenever it is possible to extend a helping hand, with the assurauce that in so doing ho is helpin&^U. In this way, and in this way only, can the greatest success be achieved.

The song which every resident of this city should sing is, "Torre Haute, the best city in the state." What are her ad vantages, her products, her needs? Of her advantages many oolumns have been written, and much remains unsaid—her numerous railroads, vast coal fields, rapid transit in every direction, finest water works plant in tbe west, excellent electric-llghtingjsystem, cheap gas and various others. So complete is the electric railway system that the poor man who builds his humble home near its line can reach the heart of the city at a small expense, and the rioh man, who prefers that mode of transportation to "his carriage can do likewise. A good chapter could be written on the clay which is to be found all around, and which will soon become a very Important consideration by men of capital with an eye to profit. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that brick will be tho paving material of the future, and the day is not far distant when millions of them will be required for the streets. Then there is the fine coal which underlies this city in great quantities at less than two hundred feet In depth, to say nothing of the finest coal fields in the country all around it. As a manufac turing center it has natural advantages which make It superior to any city in tho west, and that tliesd advantages are being recognized is evidenced by the rapid growth and prosperty which is visible or* every hand. Terro Haute is in a perfectly healthy condition, financially, and her business men always stand ready to welcome new enterprise, fresh capital and additional energy, let it come from where it may. Our city is a live place and it wants tbe whole world to know it.

Chief JiJutice John Schofield, of tbe Supreme court of Illinois, died at his home in Marshall last Monday, of peritonitis, after an illness of only a few days duration. Htf enjoyed the distinction of having declined the chief justiceship of the United States when tendered him by President Cleveland, giving as his reasons that he did not consider himself competent to discharge the duties of the position, and because the salary was not sufficient to enable him to live in the style which such a dignity required. He waa born on a farm ten miles southwest of Marshall, on August 1, 1334. His early education waa obtained in the common school of Clark county. In October, 1854, h© entered the law department of the Louisville University, and obtained the degree conferred by that Institution in March 1856.

After

his restoration to

health he engaged in agricultural pursuits and achieved fame and money as a farmer. In 1860 he engaged in mercantile business in Newport, Vermillion county, combining with the business of a merchant that of a pork-packer and shipper to New York and New Orleans, and commanded a fine trade. During this time tbe lack of transportation in Vermillion county and the necessity of remedying it engaged his attention. In the course of his investigations, and after the failure of many attempts to secure railroad facilities, he was obliged to consult very frequently with Mr. Chauncey Rose, a warm friend of tbe family through two generations. Mr. Rose entered into his projects warmly and aided him with his advice and counsel, and, a still mope important item, with pecuniary assistance, The result was the building of the Evansville, Torre Haute & Chicago railroad. Mr. Collett was president of the road from its inception until a few years ago. His management in the construction of the road was such as to have it called wheu completed a model railroad in economy of cost and construction. It was said of him that he made it a point to see every rail, tie and timber 011 his road once a month. His continued management was such as to receive the compliments and confidence of

the late James C. Robinson formed a partnership for the practice of law in 1855, which continued until the election of Mr. Schofield to the office of state's attorney of the Fourth judiciary circuit, which occurred in November, 1856. In 1860 he was elected to the lower house of tbe state legislature as a Douglas Democrat. In 1860 he was elected a delegate from the counties of Clark and Cumberland to the convention to frame a new consitltutioo, and was chairman of the committee on schedule in that body. In 1870 Mr. Schofield was employed as solicitor for the St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute railroad company, which position he resigued three years later. In 1873 he was elected judge of the Su preme court of the state, for the Second judiciary district, to fill tbe vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Thornton. In June, 1879, he was reelected to the same office for the full term of nine years, ana in June, 1888, he was re elected for the second time for the same office, which term would have expired in 1897. In 1859 he was married to Emma J, Bartlett, daughter of the late John Bartlett, of Marshall. She survives him, as do all of his children, eight sons and two daughters. Ibe funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, and was the largest ever held In bastern Illinois. The services were conducted by the Masonic fraternity.

Although her death had been expected for sometime yet when the end came to Mrs. Demas Doming, last Sunday morning, it was a shock to the entiro community in which she was respected aud beloved. Mrs. Deming, whose maiden Dame was Mary Bourne Floyd, was born in Galon a, 111., December 11, 1844, being a daughter of Major John B. Floyd, a graduate of West Point and a commissioned officer In tho engineer oorps, Major Floyd came here as ftn engineer during the construction of the National road and married a sister of the late Jacob, Luther G. and John Hager and Mrs. H.

Mrs. Deming was married to Demas Deming February 7, 1871, in .St. Stephen's Episcopal church, of which she had long been a member. During all tbe years she lived here, though surrounded by all that wealth and station could command, there was no change in her sweet and lovable disposition. Her mission was to do good, and that it was accomplished fully is known to all who were acquainted with her. The funeral took place from the home on Tuesday morning. Services were conducted by Rev. J. D. Stanley, who read the im pressive ritual for the dead, and instead of musio, read with touching eflfeot the hymn commencing "There is a Land of Pore Delight."

Blest be tbe girl that's bind Enough to wear a hat That'll let the man who sits behind

Know where the stage Is at. The list of attractions provided for the amusement lovers of this city seems to lose nothing in importance, and the public are certainly losing no interest in them. At least the people of Terre Haute have been beating all previous rebords as theatre goers. For next week Manager Hayman has provided a number of good attractions. Cbarles Dickson, tho cleverest light comedian on the American stage, will make his first appearance here as a star next Monday evening, at Naylor's opera house, presenting Mrs. R. Pacheco's furiously frantic comedy of errors "Incog." The company is certainly well selected, for there is hardly one of the people who has not done something clever before. Mr. Dickson is tbe star. He is well known here where he has played several engagements. He will be best remembered as the young comedian in "The Wife," whose work was so thoroughly easy and natural. He has also played a capital part in "A Possible Case," and he has made a reputation as the correspondent in "Held by tbe Enemy." Ho is a clever young man, aid he promises to fill such a place as Charles Wyndham has iu England. His company includes the Miss Ed. J. Connelly, .Reddick Anderson, Gustave Yorke, Franklin Garland, Barton Bancroft, Louis Mason, Edgar Allen and the Misses Maud Haslam, Louise Muldener, Lillian Burlc hart, Anita Bridger and Virginia Roas. "Incog" well be preceded by anew curtain raiser, a domestic glimpse in one act from the German of C. A. Gorner by Henry Doblin entitled "The Salt Cellar."' This shows how a slight oause can precipitate a quarrel between a newly married couple. Besides appearing in "Incog." Mr. Dickson will also enact arolo in "The Curtain Raiser," thus giving his many admirers a chance to tost his versatility. Seats now on sale at Button's.. "A HOIiB IN THK OKOUNB," which is one of Ch^s. Hoyt's best and most successful comedies, will be presented at the opera house Wednesday evening next, Washington's birthday, Febraary 22d. The piece is not at all new to local theater goers. It has been seen here before, and has always been endorsed by large and appreciative audiences. It oomes on this occasion with a east promised to be of increased strength. The piece is said to have been entirely changed since last presented here, the dialogue brightened, new specialties added, bright music introduced. Prominent in the cast this season is Charles Cowles, tho Yankee comedian, who will appear in his old role, the Stranger. Mr. Cowles has met with success ia this character, and his interpretation of the part is original and amusing. Frank Lawton, the whistling comedian, will be seen In his old time role, the Station Agent. He will enhance his personation by several entertaining specialties. The old comedy part of the Tramp will be taken by

Harry Maxwell, a comedian of clever capabilities, who obtained his schooling in the fields of 6ld minstrelsy. Miss Virginia Earlo will head the female portion of the cast in the role of the Lunch Counter Girl. Miss Earle is acknowledged to be one of the best soubrettes in the business. She has been identified with many leadingcomedy productions. Miss Marguerite May, a petite and clever dancer, will play the part of the Telegraph Girl. Seats go on sale Monday morning.

JOHN LI. SULI.IVAN

In tbe new play written especially for him, entitled "The Man from Boston," makes his appearance at Naylor's on Thursday next, the 23d instant. Great interest is «xcit4d by this production. The pugilistic arena held their idol for many years, and now that circumstances caused a slip up, so to speak, in the round of "victories of the gladiator, tbe theater-going public have taken np the role of worshipers and John L. is a more popular man to-day than ever. His impersonation of Capt. Harcourt in "The Man from Boston" ia said to be marked by a quiet force and a manly dignity few actors could bring to the part. Mr. Sullivan's rich voice adds not a little to the effect of the performance. Lawyer Price the well-known playwright of New York, has fitted Mr. Sullivan with an excellent play that shuns all cheap claptrap devices of ordinary melodramas and depends entirely for its success on acting alone, thereby showing tbe positive advance that John L. Sullivan has made in his prosession. Immense business has been reported everywhere that the "'Man from Boston" has made bis bow. No doubt his success will be repeated here.

THE WHITE SQUADBOJ*

This fine spectacular prod uctionwill be presented at Naylor's next Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee

Twentv-third Year

One of i.h»» loading New York papers says of it: "No rejnembored play has shown so many of the elements of popularity as 'The White Squadron,' which is now established on a prosperous career at the Fourteenth street thehter. The spectacle of an audience rising en masse and vociferously cheering has no parallel in the history of recent stage productions. It is a drama whioh playa upou our unwilling sympathy. It strikes the heartstrings uutil it is impossible to respond. Much of the extraordinary success achieved was due to the lavish and liberal mounting, not even the great burlesques and ballet spectacles have been presented *wlth such gorgeousness of scenio coloring. The assembling of the navies of the great powers is a striking and stirring picture, aud the departure of the vessels of the White Squadron, one of the most realistic marine effects ever utilized for stage purposes. With those emboli ish men ts and 11 ter preted by the powerful company, it is scarcely to be wondered at that the Fourteenth street threatejvis nightly crowded to suffocation. Strikingly emphasized successes of this are so rare that it is only natural that Manager Pearson should desire to make the most of this veritable goldeu goose. If arrangements can be made to buy off succeeding attractions, 'The White Squadron' will remain at the Fourteenth street theater for months to come." Tbe cast Includes Robert Hilliard, King Hedley, Ernest ^Hastings, William Harcourt, Oscur Eagle, Fred Butler, Herbert Carr, Eugene Sanger, Graham Henderson, J. J. Colemail, Edwin Barbour, W. H. Montgomery, W. W. Taylor, L,E. Lawrence, Miss Maj' Wheeler, Miss Tessie Deagle, Miss Katie Pearson, Nellie Maskoll, and is oue of tho strongest which has ever been presented to the amusement patrons of the country.

SHE SKIPPED.

One Seems to Know—Hut She Skipped.

For several months a young woman named Lulu May Hollinpsworth, of Vlnoennes, has been a pupil at Coates College, but-he no lo.jger tends that Institution. Miss Lulu Is th« daughter of ex-County Treasurer J. W. Hollingsworth, of Knox county, who attained considerable notoriety in more ways than one several yearn afto. and is nineteen years of age. To draw it mild, she has been a wild girl, and was sent here by an uncle in the hope that she would be restrained into gocd bohavior. But it seems that such was not to be the case, because she managed to make outside acquaintances with young men and misbehave generally. Matters continued in this course until a wook ago yesterday, when Miss Lnl-i mysteriously disappeared, and since then she has not been found. Her father was sent for and ime immediately. Search was Instituted and it was found that she had taken a Big Four train for GreencaBtle, but 110 trace of her could be found there. Telegrams from that place to the Indianapolis and St. Louis papers stated that it was believed she had gone thoro "in company with a young man from this city." This statement the young man denies, and the police here believe him. It is the opinion of tbe girl's father that some one has her hid away to avoid the exposure of himself. On tbe 12tb of October last The Mail received an epistle, of which this is a part: "Miss Luiu Hollingswortb, a handsome little lady of Vincennes is hero attending Coates College. She is greatly missed by her Vlncennes friends, where she is said to be the sweetest and handsomest young lady under elghteei years of age. Miss Lulu will only be here this term, as she is to be married on tho 4th of January, '93. Invitations will be out in about two weeks. She is to marry a young man in Baltimore, Md., who is in business for himself. He Is visiting at her native town (Vincennes) but Miss II. is not at home to receive him. Ho will be here to stay a couple of weeks and Miss H. will be happy." Following was a request to publish, and it was signed "E. D. Daniel, care of Union Depot Hotel," where, it scud, be was stopping. An investigation showed that Mr. Daniel was not stopping there, and as the communication bore unmistakable evidence that it was written .by a female the supposition waa that Lulu had written it herself. It might, however, afford a clue to those In search of her.
