TERRE HAUTE. IND., FEB. 10, 1894.

WHEN we read that Capt. Zaliuski has been placed on the retired list of the United States army, thus making possible the promotion of Lieut. Luigia Lomi, it i.s natural that the question phould arise, "Where are we at?"

WiiKN all that was mortal of George W. Childs, the philanthropist, of Philadelphia, was laid to rest this week, the eulogists were never before given an opportunity of saying more deserved good things of a dead man. Rich in this woi id'* goods—earned by his own efiuris- he had so conducted his career that ho had laid up riches in heaven, and disproved the oft-quoted expression of Wordsworth that "the good die young." He was a noble, public-spirit-ed, benevolent man, deserving of all the praise that has been given him. The world was truly better as the result of his living, whi«h cannot be said of all rich men who have hsd opportunities equal to his for doing good.

WE are threatened with a six months' tariff discussion in the Senate. This shows that the Senate is not in very close touch with the people, who want action, whether for or against the Wilnon bill, at once. The Senate can act as intelligently on the bill next week as at the end of six months, and all the speeches that can be made will not change a single vote, one way or the other. If the debate is prolonged for six months, the depression of the past few months will seem like a season of prosperity compared to the condition that will be existing ac the end of the six months. If the Senate wants to drivo another nail into its own coffin, let it prolong this matter for six months.

THE Governor of Florida got very little glory out of the Corbett-Mitchell fight, but he is not in as bad away as Governor Northen, of Georgia. When the talk was indulged in of changing the fighting ground to Georgia, the latter'schief executive ordered out thestate militia to prevent such a plan from being carried into execution, and the state authorities refuse to allow the bills for the expense thus incurred. The Governor is as much in earnest as when he ordered out, the troops, and says if the state will not pay the bills he will pay them out of his own privato means. As they aggregate several thousand dollars, it will bo soon that the high moral ground taken by the Governor does not pay, from a financial standpoint.

THE bill repealing the federal election laws has passed both Houses and received the approval of the president. It can probably be said that while these laws have not secured the end for which they were passed, simply because they were not en forced, thoir repeal, can not be boasted of as a step towards securiug a free ballot and a fair count. Senator Palmer, the antediluvian statesman from Illinois, claims that the passage of. this bill moans more than anything else that til** solid South will be broken up. The Senn'or is a nice old man, but ho surely cannot bo siu-h a u'k number as to think the people will believe that ho or his political associates would have been so dead set to enact ft. law that would tend to decrease his party's ad vantage or ascendency in the southern state-i. The law was not passed with that end in view, nor will it result in it.

THAT isn't a bad idea advanced by some real reformers in Ohio, who are preparing a petition to Congress asking for an amendment to the constitution, providing that congress shall meet biennially. They assert, not without some truth, that the continued sitting of Congress and the everlasting taritf tinkering is a menace to the best inter ests of the country. They ar« sincere, and otTer to contribute the sum of $25 each to help tide over the present financial straits of the government, provided congress will adjourn at one© and not reconvene for two

years.

These reform­

ers profess to believe that there are 10,000,000 persons in the country who would be glad to contribute $25 each under the conditions named, and while there is no possibility of their scheme meeting with success there Is no question but that if it could be carried into effect it would be a good thing for the country at large and the people.

EVERT visitor to the World's Fair who made the round of the state buildings had an opportunity of buying at the Florida building an unique pin or scarf charm in the shape of a living lixard, or as they were called "chameleons." The novelty of the thing induced many to buy, and the wearing of the reptiles became quite a fad. It aeeuis that the New Yorkers so far forgot themselves a* to copy a thing that was originated in Chicago, and the llxards have become a erase in New York City, many fancy good* dealers becoming interested in the sale. But they have all gone out of the business very suddenly for the reason that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has taken

up the matter, and will prosecute every buyer, seller or wearer of the novel pet. The society defends its actions by quoting the law to the effect that the word animal includes "every living creature," and as the maximum penalty for a violation of the law, on conviction, is one year's imprisonment, or a $500 fine, or both, it is considered that the fad is just a trifle too expensive to be indulged in. The novelty of a prosecu lion like this calls attention to the great stride that has beeu made in the past few years toward the protection of dumb animals from the cruelty of those who are made in the imitation of God. In the larger cities these societies perform their work systematically, backed as they are by the law and the means of enforcing it. Indiana needs a stronger law on the subject than it now has. The local humane officer in the discharge of his duties is often defied as to his powers under the law, and what is needed more than anything else, perhaps, is a demonstration as to whether or not the present law is a good one, that is, as good legally as it is morally. That once demonstrated, the officer would have authority that none could dispute.

MOB law received its death blow this week, as far as Indiana is concerned, when the sheriff" of Boone county swore in fifty special deputies to assist bim in repulsing a mob that was determined to lynch a prisoner in his custody who was charged with an infamous crime against a woman. The prisoner had entered a plea of guilty to the charge against him, and if there is ever any excuse for mob law there was a good one in this case. But the sheriff had the nerve to realize the responsibility of his position, and that he had sworn to uphold and enforce the laws, and $o rallying about him a number of equally as determined men, with revolvers drawn, he faced the mob consisting of his friends and constituents, and protected his prisoner at the risk of his own life and those of his deputies. If every county in the United States had a sheriff with as much pluck as that displayed by this Boone county man, the list of lynchings recorded in the daily papers would be greatly reduced. It is to be regretted that there are so few like him.

PUBLIO OFFICER,$ AND SALARIES The county officials throughout the state, with few exceptions, are united in another effort to test the constitutionality of the fee and salary law. They will probably meet with poor success, for the law to fix salaries and reduce the emoluments of officers was enacted in obedience to a general demand, and the court has passed on the questiou so decisively that there can be little expectation of ^meeting success if the fight is further pursued.

There seems to be little question, however, but that the legislature»instead of adopting a conservative course, has gone to the extreme, and has in many cases fixed the salaries so low that the officials can barely make a living out of their positions. To this is added the unjust provision that salaries are in no cases to be paid unless fess equaling the amount of salaries are collected and paid into the treasu ies. No state, county or community has the right to ask a public officer to give that time and attention to his duties required by law without granting a fair remuneration therefor, but there is unquestionably, and justly, a domand that public officers should be prevented from realizing in fees, concerning which the public generally is ignorant, an income out of all proportion to that which they would enjoy in private or business life in other occupations.

The laborer is worthy of his hire in this case as in every other. It is to the public interest to have competent, intelligent men to fill the respective offices, and it is to the public interest that these men should have fair wages, and that the plan by which they are paid should not be hedged about by legal terms and complicated schedules to such an extent that no one can tell definitely—unless he be familiar with all the details—just what the remuneration is. The people who pay the taxes have a right to know just what salaries their servants receive, and this is the chief good feature of the law.

But the people, on the other hand, do not expect their servants to assume the great responsibility of filling these offices, with their liabilities to damage suits, their certainty of censure from one source or another, to give bonds that vouch for the honesty, not only of themselves but of their assistants as well, simply for their "board and keep." In ordinary times a man competent to filla public office as it should be filled can make a living at his own trade or calling. It is not right, then, that when he works for the public and assumes great responsibilities that in private life he has naught to do with, he should be asked to merely work for his living.

Under the present law, however, the man who accepts a county or state office is familiar with its provisions, and he can not assume afterward that he did not know what he was doing. H« be­

comes a party to the arrangement, and must abide by his contract.

4

If the workings of the present law demonstrates that the best men cannot be secured for the offices, then its provisions will necessarily have to be changed, and when that change is made there should be another, providing that all public offices shall be one term of four years. Such a change would be as greatly to the interest of the public as that of salaries. It has been attempted before without success, but none the less it is worthy of another attempt that should win. With a salary law fixing the pay of every officer plainly and unmistakably, terms limited to four years, so that the taxpayers' time would not be spent in campaigning for re-election with all the expenses attached thereto, the very best men in every community could feel it an honor to fill an office. Now, it is to be regretted they do not all feel that way.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical frateruity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Stop That Cough

In the fall of 1892 I had la grippe, which left me in a very distressed condition with throat and lun^s very sore and a bad congh. Nothing I used did me any good and 1 only grew worse till I was thoroughly discouraged. Fortunately a friend suggested a trial of Gulick's compound syrup of "WHITE PINE, WILD CHERRY AND Ti*R," and its use soon brought the needed relief. I therefore cheerfully indorse it as an agreeable and efficient cough remedy.
