TERRE HAUTE APRIL 15, 1893.

No one feels painod when called upon to remark that Carl Sburz is temporarily lost In the political shuffle.

Hers 1b a new one for the missing *rord fiend! "John E. Rislej has gone to Denmark as United States minister and the other fellows can go to

New York cJaty nas nine thousand saloons and thirty thousand dissolute women. The flgares certainly warrant the belief that Gotham has a sufficiency of wickedness.

Awothek death from excessive cigarette smoking was reported last week from Springfield, 111. The trouble is that the Idiots who are addicted to the habit do not die fast enough.

OUT of twenty-four arrests in Portland, Mai no, lait week fourteen were tot* drunkenness, and the remainder were traceable to the same cause. And Maine is the pioneer prohibition state of tha Union and the home of Neal Dow,

A steel syndicate with a capital of 3100,000,000 is being organized in this country as a rival of the Carnegie companies. Those who will comprise its victims are doubtless of the opinion that "rtteal syndicate" would be a more appropiato name for it.

In Pennsylvania the legislature has been trying to pass a bill to modify the Sabbatk laws, which caused a citizen to write a member that "those bills to modify our Sabbath laws would carry unanimously in hell." Kvidently the gentleman is well acquainted with the residents of the region of which he speaks.

OUTSIDE of Indiana the president's ap polntments do not seem to create any dissatisfaction in the Democratic ranks When It comes to a division of the spoils the faithful of this state can kick harder, louder and longwr than the remainder of the country combined.

Tkxah Democrats want the earth. It takes nearly the whole timo of one man to rocoivo and rile away thoir applica tions for the various offices wanted. The demands of tho Hoosier patriots aro not so great, but they seem to get more.

he World's Fair will be closed on Sunday, but the dives of tho windy city will oontlnuo to run on schodulo time iu the old stands. It is, perhaps, needles* to remark that tho present arrangement Is perfectly satisfactory to his royal highness, tho king of Hades.

KANSAS has thus far got nothing from the administration. But she has lost the place of minister to Mexico, first assistant socrotaiy of the Interior, chief -clerk of the troasury, chief of the special agent's division of the laud office, clerk of the assistant secretary ot the Interior, and some small places. Now if some person will take the state out and lose It he will the proper thing and congress will vote him a medal.

Thk civil service oranks lay great stress on tho fact that applicants for placo aro recommended by their representatives in congress, and call it bad government. If the advice of a momber of congress is not desirable iu such mattors to whom must the president look? A member of congress is tho authorized mouthpiece of his constituents iu all legislative affairs, and the appointees of the president being creatures of congress, it is proper that the members should have something to say concerning their appointment.

ADVICKS from various points iu Indiana say that tho farmers are pleased with the coudltion of tho wheat, Thejsay that tt has stood the severe winter admirably, and the indications point to a yield beyoud the average, They predict largo crops of all kinds* because the unusually heavy snows of the past winter have onriobed the soil. Iu this locality the farmer is far from being so hopeful, claiming that the long continned hard frost has ruined the wheat where there was any. Probably the truth of the matter is that no one can at this time make crop predictions with any degree of accuracy, It depends as much on the weather to come as that which has past. All can, however, hope for the best.

The Philadelphia Times, one of the leading Democratic papers of thecoun-

Used

try says: "The World's Fair at Chicago would have been incomplete bad any other than Carter Harrison been elected Mayor for the occasion. The city itself will be amain par$ of the show, and the city would not be itself without this typical citizen at the head of its affairs. Carter Harrison is a characteristic institution of Chicago. A thorough demagogue, bright, shrewd and good-humored and of imperturbable impudence hampered by no conventional scruples *nd the hero of toughs and rowdies, though hiitaself a man of education and attainments a big, noisy, breezy and boardbannered Westerner, no man could better represent the genius of Chicago than this many limes elected Mayor" This Is pretty tough, but Chicago, like the boy who was kicked by a mule, will consider the source and let it pass..

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

Every administration is confronted with the Indian question on assuming control of the a flairs of government, and it is one of the most perplexing ques tions yet to be solved. According to the census of 1890 the Indian population of this country is 249,273, exclusive of Alaska. Or this number 133,382 were on reservations or at sohools, under control of the Indian office, 60,289 were incidentally under the Indian office and self supporting, and the remaining 49,602* were scattered in Tarious portions of the country. In the last thirty-two years it cost the government 9190,000,000, ranging from 92,841,358 in 1861, to 911,150,578 in 1892, to care for them.

Every crank in the country has a theory which he wishes to apply to the Indian problem, and the less he knows about the Indian.the more persistent he is in urging that it be given a trial. Philadelphia, whose acquaintance with the Indian is confined to the wooden ones used as cigar store signs, has an association founded for the purpose of ameliorating the condition of the In dians. The society is composed of good people who have in view a worthy object, but being without praotical experience their representatives are often led astray by wily scoundrels with oily tongues who rob the Indians while wear ing a sanctimonious face-to those who try to better their condition.

Some people advocate Indian educa tion as a solution of the problem, and the government has a Dumber of fine schools which are doing good wprk in various parts of the country, but experi encti teaches that education is wasted on an Indian if ho is afterwards returned to his tribe and turned loose on a reserva tion, because some of the worst in tho west are those on whom large sums of money have been spent In giving them boot, learning. They take back to their people all the worst they have learned of the white man's ways and soon forget the good. No provision is made nor is any eftort put forth on the part of the government to have them continue at the trades which they have learned or to have them iustruct their fellows in agriculture. A few of them aro turned loose among thousands, generally in an unproductive country, and they soon become worse thau ever.

With all the money which has been spent on the Indian in the last thirty years there is little evidence of improvement, and his civilization is still out of sight in the dim and distant future. It is claimed that during the last four years the enrollment of Indian pupils increased to 20,000. But what of that? When those 20,000 pupils are educated and turned loose among 230,000 savages their natures lead them back to the wild life of old, and the education is wasted. The only solution of the Indian question is to break up the tribal relations and bring them all, young and old, In close oontact with civilization. Take them away from their old haunts and associates and place them among the whites. It will cost no more to keep those who won't work in a civilized commuuity than it does in the far west, and when the children are taught traden and Industrious habits they can be turned loose in a community in which all can make a living. This would solve the Indian problem in one generation, but it wouldn't promise so well for the hosts who seek employment in tha Indian service.

A Story of a Cat.

A good cat story comes from Bombay. In Augusta Liverpool resident proceeding to Bombay took out with him a cat, which he Intended to present to a friend in India. Some days after the arrival of the steamer In Bombay pussy was missed, and though she vras searched for high and low she was nowhere to be found. Her owner had quite given her up for lost, when he received intelligence from England that the cat had made her appearance-at her old Liverpool home on Oct. 25 as calm and collected as though a trip to India and back was quit* in the ordinary course of her life. The facts are vouched for, and there is no reason to doubt their substantial accuracy, but it is not made clear whether the cat was not stowed away in the steamer in which she went out to India and carried back in the ordinary course. Under any circumstances her adventures are, however, sufficiently remarkable to deserve recording.—Yorkshire (England) Press.
