TKRKE HAUTE. IND., NOV. 25, 1893, PRBNDRKOAST, tbe murderer of Carter Harrison, says he will not plead insanity at his trial, bat will offer justification. And his lawyers will take advantage of this very talk to prove that he is insane.

TUB Republicans held a love feast at Indianapolis on Tuesday to celebrate tho recent victories, and to plan for next year's campaign. The Democrats are to hold a meetlnj? there next month, but it is not expected that joy will reign as unconflued as at this week's meeting.

DIPLOMACY has long been looked upon as a gynonym for duplicity and deceit, and the part the United States government, by its representatives, has taken ,in the Hawaiian trouble, has not done much toward disabusing the public of this belief.

IN the Hawaiian business, one of two things is certain, either Mr. Blount has lied, or Mr. Stevens has. And if the case is to rest on tbe evidence thus far bubmltted, the jury, in this case the public, will return a verdict without leaving the box, and it will not be in fayor of Mr. Blount.

THH Mexican revolutionists are making a big bid for tbe services of the arm Of the unemployed. They are offering $2 50 a day for infantry recruits and $5 00 a day for mouuled men who can furnish a pistol and a gun. A man with a sword and a pistol and a gun Could probably draw more salary than this.

IHIOAOO doesn't do anything on "a umall soale. Tbe city government there will start in tbe new year with liabilities cf $1,840,000. But the city of "I Will," would smile contendedly, and buckle down to the work of reducing it if it were *18 ,400,000 instead—just because no Other city could boast of such great indebtedness, unless it should be N#w York. .1 ICIIHMIAH II.

RUSK, Secretary of Agri

culture iii President Uarrlson's oablnet, died at his home in Viroqua, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, aged sixty-three years. Ho was for t.lx years governor of Wisconsin and was probably the most popu-

hls rugged honesty and matter-of-fact ways that rendered him a national Charaoior.

Tlmtgentleman has a very bad habit of talking too much with his mouth, without saying anything, to make him very desirable as a leader.

Tim Governor of Florida has announced positively that he will not perttiit the proposed Corbett-Mitchell tight to take plaoe in the Bverglade state, and If necessary will employ the entire ocrtintHbulary of lho htate to prevent it. From the opposition that is being manifestcl 10 the tight, It begins to look as tf they wou'd have to go lip in a balloon to fictile their differences. There would not be mnoh regret expressed if they would go up in a balloon, and both fall out. the first to reach the ground to be declared the victor.

IT about time that something was done to relieve Indiana of the odium of having such an official as State (.Untlogist Gorby. He has habit of gett.njf on a drunk, and making a spectacle of !titnself,»!Hi this week he was hauled in the State House, where he was eni.ig himself by destroying furnifUre, ihi* station house, in a patrol wagon, #, spent the night in cell. It Is not ry pleasant thing to em template, Viiat of a State official acting in a manner that would disgust the veriest loafer, and if there is any way to get rid of him, U»e proper steps should be taken at once.

IF the time ever does come that any of the Southern states will break away from tho party that has been so long in control then?, that state in all probability "will be Alabama, and strange as it may aeotn, it will ti® on account of the tariff if the break ever does come. Her vast coal and iron resources, when developed, wili make her the foremost in the list of Iron producing states, and to properly develop this industry her |HKpie have awakened to a realization that they must be protected from imported 0®*d and iron. Hence, the struggle by her Senator* and B«»i*itid by the Birmingham Board of Trad*, to have coal and iron ore taken front the fr©» list, of the new tariff bill, where it is proposed to place both. To add to the complications cm»tHl by this t*rift isftue, there Is a political war on the state between the two faeUonaof the party, on** faction calling Uself Organised Democracy, and the other the Jk'lforaonian Democracy, the latter being headed by G&pt. KoU, who as tbe Popa*

list candidate for governor a year ago claimed that he was legally elected but counted out. The xJefiersonians are going to place a full ticket in tbe field next year, and say they will have a free ballot and a fair count if it has to be secured at the shotgun's month. This condition of affairs, added to the growth of protection interest in the state, places

THE most serious labor strike of the present decade is in progress on the Lehigh Valley railroad system. It is not over wages, but results from tbe refusal of tbe railroad managers to discuss grievances with the representatives of the different organizations of railroad men. These organizations are united for the first time to demand recognition, and although it is rather a bad time for strikes, insist that they will fight it out on the present line if It takes all winter. It will probably be the most expensive strike ever undertaken, not excepting eveh the disastrous C. B. fc Q. trouble, which is said to have cost the Locomotive Firemen alone, in strike assessments, over 9800,000. It is a life or death struggle, in a certain sense, and it looks as if the managers of the Lehigh Valley system had taken advantage of the hard times and tbe idleness of thousands of railroad men to enforce an unreasonable rule upon their employes, who certainly have as much right to unite for selfprotection, and to be treated with as organized labor, as their employers have to form pools and trusts whose only ob jeot is to abridge the rights of the public.

This marks the "Columbia" as the fastest vessel afloat, and is considered

Tuesday night, when "The Old Home* stead" will be presented at Naylor's Opera house. Old theater goers, accustomed to the ordinary excellence of plays will be pleasantly surprised at "The Old Homestead." It is the most finished production of the decade. Denman Thompson did not know how wplj he builded when he gave to the world this beautiful play. So natural did he make hiscreation, that the theater-going people recognized the grandeur characterized in tbe Swanzey farmer, and paid it the tribute of greatness. The company presenting "The Old Homestead" is the strongest that has ever enacted this pretty ideal of New England life. Its musical features being rendered by a seleoted choir of twenty trained voioes, adds greatly to tbe charm. The se4t sale began this morning at Button Book Score.

NOTES.

As it is almost impossible for the Bostonian Opera company to meet the universal demand for their performance of "Robin Hood" and the De Koven music in this opera is altogethertoo'pretty and tuneful to be denied altogether because one company is not able to sing it everywhere, Messrs. Karl Barnaby and MacDonald have placed another company on the road to play In cities like Kansas City, St. Louis, Peoria, Buflalo, Cleveland, Louisville, Indianapolis etc. ThiH organization is a large one and comprises a number of well known aud capable artists. "Robin Hood" is to be sung here on December 5th and 6th by this company

A PLAN FOB I HE UNEMPLOYED. To the Editor of The Mail: Coming home from Indianapolis at an early hour in the mcrning recently, I passed along Main street, and stopped for a few moments to watch several Celestials busy at work ironing collars, cuffs and shirts at an hour when most working people are supposed to be sound asleep. Not being particularly an admirer of the 'almond-eyed citizens who are noted for their ways that are dark and tricks that are not all in vain, I have hoticed that duriDg the past year or two their numbers are increasing in our midst. Where we once had one Chinese laundry, we now have four or five, all seeming to do a good business, and it struck me very forcibly that if the work now given to them could be turned over to the other laundries or washerwomen,

This may seem selfish to some of philanthropic turn of mind, but I for

give employment,

rather than to those who have nothing in common with us. The Chinese are not like other foreigners who come to our shores to make homes for themselves and their families, who help build up our industries and assist in the various commercial pnrsuits. Their only desire ia to get and hoard our money. They pay no taxes for the support of the

live on a few pounds of rice a week, they break our laws by working all day on Sunday, and they never give employment to others except of their own kind. Their one purpose in coming here is to get our money, and thanks to the patronage of others than their own race they do get it. But just as soon as they have accumulated a thousand dollars or so of Our good money they hie themselves back to the land of firecrackers, joss houses, and rat stews, and that good money we see no more forever. It is a foreign element that is utterly of no benefit to the community in which it exists. On the other hand, look at our steam laundries. They pay taxes and rent, gas and water bills, fuel bills, they buy soap and starch, paper and wax, pay insurance premiums, horseshoeing and feed bills, ad vertising, and a thousand other little bills that we have no know! edge of. They employ women all the year round and pay them good wages, and they certainly are entitled to our patronage, whether it be large or small Reading in all the papers of the efforts that are being made to find work for our unemployed, it struck me very forcibly that this is a most excellent way to carry the theories into practice. We pay our steam lauudries the very same for our work that the Chinese charge, and the work is superior in every way. Why not divert this money, then, from a channel that we are certain will bring no benefit to those who are out of work, and head it in a direction that we are just as certain will bring work to many of them. This is what I call practical philanthropy, a philanthropy that does not permit a mawkish, unhealthy sentiment for a so called "downtrodden, persecuted race" to take bread and butter out of the mouths of our own in order to send a heathen back to his own shores with his pockets full of our money, and his mouth filled with words of praise for our own glorious "home of the free." Words of praise from that source have no pleasant sound for my ear—and there would be more like me if all would look at the matter in the right light.

These views may seem somewhat radical to some of your readers, but at this time when hundreds, yes, thousands of our wording people of both sexes are needing work, and oommitteea, societies and churches are casting about for plans to furnish it, it seems to me that it is the duty of etery good citizen to do all in his power to help them along. Here is a plan to give employment to sixty or seventy women at good wage?, and put from $300 to $500 more in circulation here every week. I hope its suggestions will meet with approval. WORKMAN.
