TERRE HAUTE. IND., DEC. 2, 1893.

THE work logmen will be glad to know that the new tariff bill reduces the duty on champagne, fine cigars, oil paintings and statuary.

,• THK Indiana coal operators have formed a trust to control the output of the block coal region, and uphold the prices on it. These same operators, or most of ,them, think it a grievous wrong for their miners to organize to control the labor market and maintain ts prices, but

AN Indianapolis preacher who draws a salary of ftve hundred dollars a month, and Is not affected by the conditions tuat are throwing men out of employment, preached a remarkable sermon last Sunday, in which he said that the working people ought to be thankful for the season of adversity that has come upon them, as it has taught them how to think. Among other things he said that the laboring man if he gets only a dollar a day should be able to provide for his family and lay by something for a rainy day. Such talk is remindful of the famous saying of Henry Ward Beeehor, that a dollar a day is enough for a working man—a saying that diu more to injure his staudlng with the masses than all the things that were c! arged against him in the famous sd&ndal case. The man who thinks a dollar a day ts onough for a working man is a fool or a knave, or both, and auoh talk comes with very poor grace from one whose duty it is to oheer and comfort the distressed. From time to time we have learned essays in the magazines, and discussions in the newspapers, us to why the church is not more popular with the masses, and one reason is found right here. The man whose stomach is empty, aud whose children are starviug,lf ho stops to think has no kind thoughts for the minister who tells him that he ought to be thankful for it. And when prosperity comes to him, we tind that he has stored up these unkindly thoughts, not only against the minister, but the Church as pH. It Is perhaps uot right that the Church should be blamed for the indisrseet utterances of one of its servants, but men are unreasonable creatures uhtm their feelings are touched. The Ind ianapolis preacher has hurt the cause «.f Christianity iu away that he can not atone for in long years.

THIS new tariff bill has at last been made public, aud while tt does not carry out the sense of the Democratic platform that all tariff is unconstitutional, takes a long stride towards free trade by placing coal, iron, salt, lumber and wool on the free list. Mr, Wilson, chairman of the committee on ways and means, by virtue of his office becomes spokesman for the measure, and he professes great belief that if the law is pissed as presented it will bring immediate and permanent relief to our industries which just now are in a languishing condition. Much as has been promised for the free trade features of this bill, it is more radical In these provisions than was really expected by the Democrats themselves, and it remains to be seen whether it will receive the cordial support of the Congressmen who were elected on a free trade platform. Free wool will prove no more satisfactory in Democratic Texas and Missouri than it will in Republican Ohio, Michigan and the [Northwest, free coal and free iron will have Its drawbacks for West Virginia, Alabama and other sontbem Mates aa veil as for those lying north of them, and on through the list The overwhelming majority of the Demo-crat-s in the prevent House give no «u$-

THE big tight in the ranks of the Knights of Labor has resulted in the retirement of Mr. Powderly, after many years' service as master workman. His days of usefulness as a labor leader ended long ago, and with the constant quarreling that is going on among the members it may be truly said that the Knights of Labor have run to the end of their string. They started on the down grade when Martin Irons was made so prominent in their affairs, and they haven't been able to put on the brakes since then.

TT isn't always the man with the big petition that gets the fat political ap pointuietits, as was shown in the case of Frank Lawler, who wanted to be Chicago's postmaster. He presented a petition to the president that was several miles long, and had many thousand signatures to it, but in the face of this monster indorsement, Mr. Lawler was turned down, and the place given to Washington Heslng, editor of the StaatsZeltung, whose influence is supposed to have caused tho immense German population of Cook county to throw their votes to Cleveland last fall. And now, Hkti many another man who is disappointed, Mr. Lawler says that while he will continue to vote the party ticket, jbe cannot vouch for his friends doing so.

surance that the present bill will receive a support that will ensure its passage. Not all of them can be provided with life jobs for voting against what their constituents consider their interests, and hence, as a means of self-preserva-tion, these interests cannot be ignored. It is promised that the bill will be rushed through after the holidays, and take effect on the 1st of March next, bat promises are easily made. They are not always as easily filled.

THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. There ia on© feature of the Hawaiian business, outside of any political aspects it may have, that is peculiarly aggravating, and that is the air of secrecy that has been cast over the matter, as if to convey the impression that the people could not be trusted, or that it was none of their business. While the people of the United State3 have been denied all knowledge of the government's policy by the public servants in charge of it the people of the embryo Republic of the far Pacific have been kept in the dark as well. They learn from the speech made to them by Minister Willis that he has his instructions, that when the time comes he will carry them out, and that nothing that can be said or done, there or elsewhere, can effect the result—in other words it is none of their business. It is a remarkable situation of affairs, and leads one to wonder if those in charge of the diplomatic proceedings have brought themselves to believe that it Is a private enterprise of their own they are conducting, aud not the people's business. In contrast with their position in the present affair, as regards the public's right to information, that of Henry Clay, during the negotiation of the Treaty of Ghent, stands out vividly. Mr. Clay was one of the Uuited States Commissioners to arrange that treaty, and some of the proceedings of the commission were printed in the papers of this country, and reached the commission before its labors were completed. Lord Gambier, one of the British commissioners, took exceptions to the publication as being contrary to the rules of diplomatic proceedings, and Mr. Clay, replying to his restrictions, said: "Your lordship must recollect that If, as you truly asserted, the publication of dispatches pending a negotiation is not according to the custom of European diplomacy, our government itself is organized upon principles totally different from those upon which European governments are constituted. With us, the business In which we were here engaged is the people's business. We are their servants, and they have aright to know how their business is going on. The publication, therefore, was to give the people Information of what Intimately affected them."

A little of the spirit of Henry Clay injected into thu State Department as at present oonducted would bring esteetiQ rather than contempt for its head, who is but a servant conductiug the people's business.

Substantial Holiday Presents.
