UNION

TKRRK HAUTE. INI)., MARCH 31,1894.

SKNATOR PKPFER, of Kansas, is evidently not such a fool as he has been represented. He says the Coxey movement in foolish and childish.

THE great public is vitally interested in the solution of the problem, Is this weather we have been enduring really the Harrison or the Cleveland article?

IT is said that thw President is in a bad huinor, HS the result of a bad attack of gout, but it is certain that his severest trouble is an aggravated attack of a bad congress.

A MAN named Ronon Oerwinaki is a candidate for one of the chief offices in Milwaukee at the spring election. He is making his campaign on the issue as to whether or not. Poland shall be free

IT costs the government over four hundred dollars to tire each shot from the now thirteen-inch guns of the navy. It would cost more than this to (ire the boodlers out of the Swnate, but money could not be hotter spent.

FKOM the frequency with which Boss McKane's former associates are being sentenced to the penitentiary for crimes against the ballot box, it deems possible that at the next election at Gravesend the honest people will have some show.

Tin: old saying that "there's no fool like an old fool" should be altered to read,''There's no fool like a Kentucky fool." A (Mark county Kontuckian has named a new girl'baby for Madeline Pollard, the plaintiff" in the nasty case now disgusting th« public.

TAI.KOC the Mid was Plaisance? When ("oxey, the Ohio crank, and his army reuches Washington, with the present congress in session and the Pollard Brecken ridge trial in progress, the World's Fair aggregation of curiosities will uttorly Ion., its prestige.

II:I,AWAKK cannot enjoy a monopoly on the niiuatiou of ilia poach crop this year. The severe weatiipr of the past week has so damaged the fruit crop of the entire country that only those who enjoy millionaire's incomes can afford the luxury of fruit the coming season.

Tit correspondence ot Secretary Herbert and the President regarding the defective armor plate* produced by the Carnegie mills, us submitted to Con gross develop.-, one thing ery plain ly, that Mr. Carnegie j-eceived $260,000 for his endorsement of the Wilson bill.

THK Chicago ministerial association has decided, in its light, against sin and the devil, that hen after no religious announcements will he made in the Sunday newspapers. Y\ hile there is no reason to believe that this will strengthen the association in its light, it pleased its members and doesn't hurt the newspapers.

Auot'r the most visionary member of Congress, not excepting .Terry Simpson, is a man nam "n from Minnesota, who has introduced a bill to reduce the salaries of a!! government officials and omp'oyes. Congressmen are asked to reduce their salaries percent. The man who would expect the average Congressman to vote to reduce his own salary is a lit subject for a commission in lunaev.

AHOTT the

cool wpi'k Coxey, the

coole-t tiling of the past the letter addressed to Ohio cr.mk, by Senator

Stewart, in which he advises Coxoy to cure the evils he inveighs against by a resort to ballots, not bullets. If the ballot had been properly resorted to in the pocket borough from which Stewart hails ke would nevei have had the distinction, if such it can be called, of representing his state in that body of which it has been said that it can't pass anything but the time.

THK present Mrs. Hreokenridge occupies a position that is not altogether enviable, but she will no d«ubt thank the womeu of the League for the Promotion of Social Purity for the interest they take in her affairs, when they announce that they are going to ask her to re nouuee her husband. They say that "if she has a spark of womauhood in her she will do it." The chances are, however, that if she has a spark of woman hood in her she will tell them to attend to their own business.

ARK we getting to be a nation of shcrt «tory writers? Several months ago an Eastern literary syndicate offered prizes aggregating one thousand dollars for the best short stories submitted, the priies being five in number. So many thou-j sand manuscripts were submitted that it required four months to go through them, with the most persistent! work, and give each the care demanded The stories were limited to three thousand words, and the first prize was fixed at five hundred dollar*, thus giving to

the successful contestant an average of over sixteen cents a word for bis work. This is six cents a word more than Mr. Howells is said to receive for his most trifling work, end notwithstanding this, the prizes were won by unknown writers in the main, the majority of them having never been beard of before, Possibly writers of any standing in the literary world do not have to submit thoir work in competition to receive their just reward, but it does seem that I if we are not actually becoming a nation of short story writers this pr'ze" would have gone to some other than an un-

THE Virginia gentleman, Mr. Hoge, who was appointed consul to Amoy, China, under the present administra tion, and became a national character because of his reeall on account of a monumental drunk he indulged in while on the way to his post of duty, has changed his politics in consequence, and is now a Republican. Many men of greater prominence than Mr. Hoge have changed their politics for much the same reason, buf it cannot be said that any party is weakened by such defections, or its opponents strengthened by such acquisitions.

If General Lew Wallace has lost in reputation elsewhere as much as he has here by his recent sayings he is a heavy loser indeed. Thegeneral hasdestroyed more of his own fame as an author than of Dickens or Thackeray. It is surpris­| ing how many persons there are who now frankly confess they did not really enjoy Ben Hur, but read it because it was the proper thing to do. General Wallace has been very fortunate in his newspaper made reputation. He has been a picturesque figure before the public ever since he knelt iu the state heuse yard at Indianapolis and swore the Eleventh regiment to be more heroic than any other regiment going to war for the union, and all this picturesquesness has been a good advertisement for his books.

THE President by his veto of the seigniorage bill has made it evident that he is not bound by party ties in his views regarding financial legislation. It required twocolumnsof solid nonpareil for him to explain why he vetoed it, but his message is singularly free from the scoldings and assumptions of suporior wisdom that have heretofore been prominent in his official communications to Congress. His veto has not proved altogether satisfactory to the Democratic newspapers, while he has been applauded by the Republican press for having the courage to carry out views maintained by the foremostof his political opponents. There can be no question but that his veto has almost in suired the passage of a free coinage bill, while it has aroused the opposition of his adherents iu congress and has imperilled the passage of the tariff measure to which he stands committed, or at least postponed final action thereon indefinitely. The veto of this bill is but the carrying out of the virtual promise of Secretary Carlisle that no further silver legislation would be enacted by the present congress, and it meets the universal approval of the business world.

M03T men prefer to keep their politics and their religion separate, and it is perhaps questionable whether the Christian Endeavorers of this state exhibit good taste in their determination to hold mass meetings in Indianapolis the weeks prior to the state conventions of the Democrats and Republicans, their avowed intention being to influence the platform makers. The step the Colorado Christiau Endeavor societies are taking, however, is highly to be commended, 11 so far as they aro influencing voters to register as the first step toward voting on election day. If the so called "good eitizehs," who are always identified with such movements as that at Indianapolis, would exercise the duties of good citizenship by attending the primary conventions of their party, and see that good men are selected for delegates and candidates, we would hear less of the cry of corruption in politics. The "good citizens" could control all such conventions if they wore so inclined, but unfortunately a great many of them prefer to stay at home, and then find fault with what has been done. The "good citizen" would not be so much of a myth ir he would lend his presence to the meetings that form the basis of the political structure of the country. The energy he devotes to finding fault would work wondrous good if applied in this direction.

Stop That Cough

In the fall of 1892 I had la grippe, which left me in a very distressed condition with throat and lungs very sore and a had cough. Nothing I used did me any good ana 1 only grew worse till I was thoroughly discouraged. Fortunately a friend suggested a trial ot 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.
