TERRE HAUTE. IND., FEB 24, 1894

A NEW YORK judge has refused to accept an increase of salary of $500 ybar, and now bis c6nstii.ueuts are con sidering the advisability of having hiin removed from office. They fear he is losing his mind.

THE outlook for crops in Kansas this year was said to be very fine, lut this announcement was made before it was known that the Populists are going to organize amateur theatrical troupes to play throughout that state, illustrating the peculiar theories of that party.

Gooi for the Iowa JegisJaiure! It has passed a law compelling the display ol the American flag ever every school house in that sjate. There should be such a law in every state in the Union and not a dead letter law, either, but one that provided rigid penalties for its violation. We cannot inspire in the rising generation too much love or re Bpect for "Old Glory."

IK New York bad a Roscoe Conkling, or a Benjamin Harrison, or a William MoKinley, to run for governor on the Republican ticket this fall, when the prospects for the success of that party are more flattering than for many years past, ho would be a big quantity in the Republican national convention of 1896 But she hasn't such a favorite son to put into training, and the coveted honor will no doubt come to a we-rern state.

IN a rocent primary election in Illinois, in a Democratic congressional contest, wo read in a Democratic paper that one faction won because its adherents had "the most money in the field." It we are to believe the Democratic press the buying of votes has hitherto been confined to the unscrupulous Republicans, and the development of such bad traits is sincerely to be regretted. Perhaps, howover, they do not look upon it as such a bad thing as it was made distinctively a "home industry."

TINO evolution of the warship in thirty years is shown by a comparison of the old Kearsage, that was receutly wrecked In Central American waters, and the fastest "essel of her day, and the modern steel cruiser of to-day. The Columbia, the speediest vessel in the navy to-day, is twice the length of the KearaHgn, nearly twice as broad, has ten knots an hour greater -peed, and cost ten times the money required to build the old Kearsage. But no vessel In our modern navy will ever win one-tenth the renown that fell to the lot of the Kearsage when she whipped the Ala bama, the pride of the confederacy, so many years ago.

Tu male members of a Chicago church thai has been making a specialty of teaching the Chinese, have rebelled against the practice, and organized an

Anti-Ohiuese Sunday School Society." The object of the society is to agitate against the custom or allowing young girls of an impressionable ago to act as teachers of the heathen Chinese in .Sunday schools, whero each Chinaman has a teacher to himself and is thrown in close contact with her for hours at a time. Too many foolish, sentimental girls have had their lives ruined by mar riage with these yellow heathen, and the men are wise who areorganizing against them. It will bo found, however, that the Chinaman's interest in Sunday school will be materially diminished when he finds that his religious instruction is to be given him by men rather than pretty vounggirla.

SKNATOU in addition to being a figurative thorn in the side of the presi dent, has gone to the extreme of violatif the musty old Senate, in giving to the press a report of his speech on theSnpreme court appointment. The senators have for years and

years

been

giving out the secrets of executive sessions under the guiso of secrecy, and periodically grow very indignant over some one's breach of faith, but this is the first CAse in which a senator has delilwrately violated the rule. There is talk of expelling him from the senate for breaking the rule, but certainly no senator will have the temerity to* att-nipt rt. Meanwhile the public heartily commend Mr. Hill for breaking or- musty, old-fogy rules of the Senate, the most of which along with "sensational courtesy" ought to be buried beyond resurrection.

THKRK is vine BOOK—and probably the only one—that the "one coupou and ten cents" fiouvl will never tackle, and that is the "War of the Rebellion," that is being published by Uncle Sam from official data in the possession of the government. The whole work when completed will embrace 120 huge royal oc:«v volumes of 1,000 page* *aeh, and A gigantic atlas, and the ultimate cost will be something like $2.50*^,000. Each separate book in a set is three inches thick and weighs fr-m fifty to sixty ounces, and the combined weight of an entire set will be 620 pounds, while the volumes If set up in a row on a single

shelf of one's library, would extend a distance of thirty feet. Eleven thousand copies will be printed, so that the

five cents, and the eighty-nine serial parts thus far published will cost over fifty dollars. Students of war history can start a library for a comparatively small sum, and can rest content that competition of publishers will not bring the prices down lower than this.

1HE SUPREME,COTJRT. Having twice nominated lawyers from the judicial circuit in which the death of Justice Blatchford left a vacancy, and having twice bad his noirinees rejected, the President on Monday appoint* Senator Edward Douglass White, of Louisiana, to the vacancy. Senatorial courtesy permitted the Senate to confirm the appointment without preliminary reference to the committee on judiciary, a course that is always purued when a sitting or ex-member of the Senate is appointed to an office. The new Justice is forty-eight years old, making him the youngest member of the court. He served in the Confederate army, and was a member of the Louisiana Supreme Court, and was in his first term in the Senate.

His appointment gives the Democrats four members of the Supreme Bench, the others being Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field and Jackson, the tatter an appointee of President Harrison. The oldest member of the court is Stephen J. Field, who was appointed by President Lincoln in 1863. The next oldest in point of service is Justice Harlan, who was appointed in 1877 by President Hayes. Justice Gray was appointed by President Arthur in 1881. The remaining Justices, Brown,Shiras,

A bill has been introduced in the House to change tlie tenure of office of United States Justices from life to ten years, but the ohances are that it will never become a law. It would hav the effect of bringing these offices directly into politics, a proceeding it is hoped will never come to pass. We have nough politics in our lower courts, where judges are elected by the people, and whero too often political pull and ability to get votes is the first qualification required of a caudidate rather than judicial learning and competency. This is an evil that should be corrected, and no doubt will in the course of time, but the people will never submit to having theSnpreme Court dragged down into politics, a court that has more absolute power than any legal tribunal on earth, and which can overthrow any law passed by Congress and signed by the President, if it chooses to discover a constitutional flaw in the measure, and from whose decision there is no appeal. There were many Republicans who severely criticised President Harrison's appointment of a Democrat to the Supreme Bench in the closing days of his administration, but the fact that be did so proved that in his respect for his own profession and the diguity of the court be looked upon it as a question far removed from any matter of politics. And there it should remain.

As a producer of big majorities Texas is no longer in it with Pennsylvania, which has given Galasha A. Grow a plurality of 185,000 as congressman at large. The election was held Tuesday, and the back counties are not all in yet, when it may possibly reach 200,000.

This is a book, too, that Senators with Marie TVmpest, Next Thursday— and Representatives who are candidates Nat Goodwia Coming Notes of the for re-election cannot send out under government frank to their ambitious constituents, for each part costs eigLfcy-

Jack

son and Brewer, were all appointees of President Harrison, Justice Brewer be-

ngi

by the way, a nephew of Justice Field. It was the fortune of President Harrison to make more appointments to this august body than usually falls to the lot of a President in one term, and it is to his oredit that all of them were regarded as unusually good ones. With the exception of Justice Shiras all the appointments made during President Harrison's tefm were promotions from the United States Circuit courts, where experience had proved their fitness for the increased honor.

In the ordinary course of events President Cleveland is not likely to be called on to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Bench before the expiration of b!s present terra, unless it should be a successor to Justice Field, who is past seventyseven years of age, and so feeble that he not," ""called on to do much work. Should this vacancy occur, there would be no change in the political complexion of the court, although this august tribunal Is supposed to be far above the turmoil of partisanship. It is possible, however, that the court may be called on to pass on some questions touching politics, and it is known that an expressed opinion by Mr. Peckham, who was last week rejected by the Senate, to the effect that he believed a protective tariff to be unconstitutional, united the Republican Senators in their opposition to his confirmation.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

fEAst OF GOOD ATTRACTIONS FOR

Stage. The attraction at Naylor's to-night is H. Rider Haggard's oriental romance, "She," in anew dramatic form. A few seasons ago "She" created* a gAat interest because of its novelty in stage productions. The adaptation is from the pen of Mr. Barbour, an author who has won fame by his success as a play writer aud adaptor. The story of "She" is* well known to almost everybody, and while Mr. Barbour's adaptation differs somewhat from the story, yet the thread is closely followed and the characters all work to the same end. "She" will no doubt attract a big crowd to-night. "THE FENCING MASTER." "The Fencing Master," that most tune ful of DeKwven's operas, will be pro duced at Naylor's next Thursday evening, by one of the largest and most com plete companies on the road. Besides Marie Tempest, it includes such Tvell known favorites a^ Lilly Post, Gerald Gerome, Richard F. Carroll, and ethers It contains no less than four prima donnas, two oontraltos, two first tenors, two baritones, two bassos, and two of the best comedians on the stage, together with a well trained chorus of 50 voices and an augmented orchestra under the direction of Signor Tomasi. Although this will be the first appearance of the opera and the company here, the reading public is well acquainted with the success of both in all the large cities The original run at the Casino was over 250 nights. The present cast is pronounced the composer and the leading eastern cities the strongest it has had. Although Miss Tempest has been engaged a great deal in light opera, she has at various times undertaken more serious works, having sung in oratorio and in London concert halls. She is familiar with all the soprano parts in grand opera, and really belongs to what is known as the opera comique stage rather than what is known in England and Amerioa as the comic opera stage. The entire organization travels entirely independent of local aid, as every article used in the original New York production, including costumes, scenery and properties will be used here. The seat sale opens Monday morning at But" ton's. Prices range from 25 eents to $1 50. From indications the seat sale will be the largest of the season. Don't delay in securing seats.

MURRAY AND MACK.

Murray and Mack, two well known Irish comedians with their own capable oompany, will hold the boards at Naylor's on next Saturday evening, March 3d, presenting "Fisnegan's Ball," an Irish farce which is chock full of what might be termed "airy nothingness." The play is made up of music, novel npeoialties and some very comical situations and incidents. It was put together solely for the purpose of amusing, and it is said to succeed in its purpose.

NAT GOODWIN.

Theater goers generally will be delighted to know that genial Nat Goodwin will make bis annual appearance at Naylor's Opera house on Saturday evening, March 10th. No star that visits this oity stands higher in the estiu ation of all classes of theater goers than this well known and justly popular eomedian. Nayloi's Opera bouse is considered to be one of the largest theaters in the west, but it is entirely too small to hold the people when such an attraction as Nat Goodwin holds the boards.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Among the many first-class attractions to be seen at Nayloir's next month may be mentioned "The Fencing Master" on next Thursday evening, Bessie Bonehill on March 9th, Nat Goodwin on the 10th, Modjeska and W H. Crane later in the month. No oity the siee of Terre Haute in this country can equal such a list of bookings.

PREHISTORIC REMAINS.

The Skeleton of Another Tall Man Recently Discovered'Near'TMtentone.

Fresh discoveries of human remains, probably prehistoric, were found this week on the Italian frontier near Mentone. Two years ago the skeleton of a man more than 8 feet high was unearthed at the same spot under the direction of an English archaeologist. Workmeu in a cave recently uncovered several slabs of stone which seemed to form a part of a dolmen. The earth contained many bones of animals, broken evidently, for the extraction of the mar row, and there were indications of fire close by. Several small, pierced shells which once formed a chaplet and a row of stag's teeth were near at hand.

The skeleton of^a man 6 feet 2 inches in height was lying on its back. The legs were crossed below the knee. The right arm was extended and bent backward toward the head. The hand was clinched. The left hand was placed under the head. The same position has been frequently observed in early neolithic burials. A fine crystal of carbonate of lime beside the skeleton was probably a talisman. Further excavations in the cavern revealed innumerable bones of animals, notably a fine vertebra of a mammoth. Still another find is a flint implement, which appears to be of palaeolithic age.—Paris Letter.

To Be Tried For Mailing Bible Quotations.

A case of unusual interest in which the United States is prosecutor and Anthony Beerpass is defendant will be tried soon in the United States court. Beerpass was violently enamored of Celia Grassby. In a fit of anger and jealousy the lover wrote Celia a rery objectionable letter. The girl promptly turned the letter over to the proper authorities, and Beerpass was arrested for sending obscene matter through the mails. He acknowledged sending the letter, but claims he cannot be made to suffer for it, as every sentence in it is a quotation from the Bible, which he readily proved. The defendant says that, as the Bible is mailable matter, he had a perfect light to use the mails for transmitting a few quotations from it. —Trimble (Tenn.) Correspondent.

A Reminiscence of Napoleon.

A series of unpublished letters of the first Napoleon appeared in Paris week before last. In one characteristic epistle the autocrat tells the minister of police to arrest Mr. Kuhu, the American consul at Genoa, as a wearer of the cross of Malta given by an agent of the British government. The emperor adds: "This individual, having received a foreign decoration, is no longer an American. .1 am sorry, moreover, that you communicated with the United States embassy. My police must not recognize embassies. I am master chez moi, and when I suspect a man 1 cause him to be arrested. I would even cause the embassador of Austria to be arrested if he plotted against the state.."
