TERRE HAUTE, IND., APRIL 7, 1894

A BUTTER trust has been organized in Illinois, with a half million capital. It will donblcss be a strong affair.

THE Indianapolis chief of police is going to run the "mashers" off the street corners in that city. This of course doesn't refer to the mashers on the police force.

MIDST the gloom that has fallen over the Democratic camp as a result of the spring elections throughout the country, there comes one flash of welcome light to brighten up the scene. Arkansas went Democratic without opposition.

SOOTH CAROLINA is maintaining the reputation of the state for refusing to abide by the laws. The spirit of nullification which made its first big demonstration half a century ago is yet strong in South Carolina. It caused that state to be the first to attempt to secede from the union and it was the last of the Southern states to become "reconstruct ed" after the war.

IT is said of large cities that it is possible for men to livfe a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" existence for years without fear of discovery, but one Chicago man has found out that a dual life will surely be exposed on one who ventures into politics. One of the defeatod candidates for alderman in Tuesday's election is openly charged—after the election, too —with having a wife and children on one avenue, while living with another woman on another avenue, and the paper in question welcomes it as a rebuke to "Brecklnrldgelnni."

SPEAKKR CRISP refused the appoint ment of senator from Georgia to succeed the late Senator C'olquilt, evidently figuring that to accept would be going fiom bad to worse. Patrick Walsh, editor of tle Augusta Chronicle, was then given the appointment. He is a representative of the rapidly developing sentiment in the South favoring protection, Is a close personal friend of Senator Hill, and an avowed opponent of Hoke Smith. His appointment makes it possible that the new tariff measure is still further away from passage thau ever.

ZKM.A NICOLAITS, the young woman who became possessed of George Gould's $•10,000 check and who Hew away to Europe aftor a sudden termination of litigation regarding the check is firmly convinced, no doubt, that she is under the ban of the subsidized plutocratic press because a show manager •would not pay her $150 a week for the reason that the newspapers were ignoring her aud thereby failing to advertise her. Zella would not be any more unreasonable In her statement that Gould has subsidized tho newspapers thau are many of the misfit men in this world who are constantly asserting ttiat the press of the country is subsidized by the plutocrats.

TMK Democrat" already have a larger majority in tho hout-e of representatives than tlioy know what to do witb, but continue to increase It by unseating Republicans and giving their places to Democratic contestants. The party is not any nearer united in this work than in anything else that has been undertaken at the present te*»sion of congress, aud in one case, that of O'Neill against Joy, three of the Democratic congressmen from Missouri voted against O'Neill, the contestant, and fhe Drmocratic committee in the disputed distract protested against the unseating of Joy, claiming that he had been fairly elected. As a rule, however, the Democrats are but little different from the Republicans in contests for seats in the house. The contestants whose party has control of the house to usually sure of carrying his point whether he has a good case or not.

COXKY'S army, in its numbers and composition, is a ridiculously small affair, and its reception by the people is therefore all the more significant. Undoubtedly it is the idea the army is intended to represent that the people applaud. A staff correspondent of a (Chicago newspaper writes that be has -stopped making predictions about the commonweal, because the whole thing is so utterly improbable that no one can tell what will be the outcome. "I am beginning to feel," says the correspondent, "that the movemeut has some meaning, that it is a manifestation of *he prevailing unrest and dissatisfaction among the laboring classW In

the earnestness and warmth of the receptions everywhere, and the movement has more meaning than either Coxey or Browne imagines. It would not be surprising if the growing demand of the industrial classes for more and better recognition by the lawmakers should yet be triumphant, and thereby make Coxey a sort of John Brown, though, as said above, Hfe in himself and in his army .does not truly represent the industrial classes.

The Chicago newspapers have prevailed on the postoffice department to start another early morning fast mail train ont of that city. This time it is to reach Iowa points. Several years ago these newspapers united their varied influence and caused the department to start fast trains an hour or so after midnight in several directions that they might place an early edition of their paper in the hands of the people at points several hundred miles away by breakfast time. Of course there is no necessity for these trains to carry ordinary mail, because letters are posted by evening and go «ut on the regular night trains. The New York newspapers have done the same thing but they have been less frank about it. They insist that it is to benefit the New York business men, as if the business men remained up until midnight to avoid mailing their letters to catch thfr evening trains so that they could leave New York seven hours later at 2 o'clock In the morning.

THE universal desire of Indianians outside of Indianapelis to hold their various state gatherings elsewhere than in the capital city has been gratified to a large extent in the pai=t two or three years, but a reaction has set in and no doubt Indianapolis will again be the undisputed place for all conventions and assemblies of whatever character. The reaction is not due to the subsidence of the feeling of disgust for the capital oitv'ri porcine proclivities, but simply because the location is far and away the best of any city in the state. The Royal Arcanum, whose state council was held here Thursday, returns to Indianapolis next year because it is cheaper and more convenient to meet there. Delegates from nearly every point in the state can attend a meeting at Indianapolis and lose but one day from their private business, whereas to come to this city, to go to Fort Wayne or Evansville, delegates from some localities are obliged to be absent from home two days.

THE reports of the Breckenridge trial are the nastiest that ever appeared in the daily newspapers of this country. But one daily newspaper that Ibe Mail has seen has refused to give space to them. This newspaper is the Indianapolis News and whatever may be said of its "newspaper sense," nothing but praise is its due Tor its motive. It is an old topic, that of the good or harm that is done by the newspaper publica tion of the details of the conduct of the wicked in this worJd. Too often, |jo doubt, the newspaper makes virtue an excuse for its course in handling these unsavory affairs and yet there are some ways of looking at the matter by which it may be seen that there is possible good to bo done by tho publications. Whatever may be the faotand truth as to this mooted question one thing has been made plalu in this Washington instance, which is that both the man and woman have enjoyed the opportunity to exhibit their alert intellects and wits on the witness stand. Their conceit in this respeot was so overwhelming that the sense of decency beoame secondary in what they said and did.

WHY is it that no sooner does a prom inent judge decide a question favorably to the laboring interests, in any litigation before him, than his usefulness is ended by nominating him for the presidency. At Omaha, this week, Judge Caldwell, in the Union Pacifio wages schedule overruled Judge Dundy's decision in the matter, and gave a decision that is more pronounced in favor of labor organizations, aud farther reaching in its effects than any heretofore rendered. And the first thing we hear is that he "has earned the nomiuation of the laboring world for the presidency." The decision is a just one, and Is all the more appreciated from the faot that United States Judges have of late seemingly gone out of their way to protect the interests of corporations at the expense of their less influential employes. But how does a man "earn" a nomination to the presidency by one decision, or any number of them, given because he believes they are in accordance with law and justice. It was just such talk as this that put the presidential bee in Walter Q.Gresham's bonnet long ago, and by the putting destroyed a fairly good judge and made a poor presidential candidate. By certain decisions In which he took occasion to make stump speeches in the interests of the laboring men, he was soon looked upon as the laboring man's friend, and when his name was before the Republican national convention the Republican machine that happened to be in charge of the Chicago government turned out all the Italians on the publio

works, with tin backets, to show Gresham's strength with the people. It availed him nothing, however, and Ibis usefulness as a judge was ended. Judges who earn presidential nominations had better beware of the fate that befell Mr. Qresham. -St

IT ia the stock in trade of many Individuals to rail at the law and lawyers, condemning the one as devised ibr ikh'e protection of criminals, and at thVl&gal profession as one calculated to defeat justice, and there is some ground lor the complaint when the case of jPrendergast, the Chicago. assassin, is considered. Here is a man convicted a heinous crime, and who, if as crazy as alleged by his lawyers, is erazy enough to hang, and yet a judge was found willing to stretch the law to fit the particular case, and who, after setting aiide Supreme court rulings, allowed the miserable wretch to escape the fate he so richly deserved. ThiiB week the same judge extended the stay of execution in that case until Jnly 2. It is quite likely that when July 2 comes further technicalities will be discovered by means of which justice will again receive a set back, and so on indefinitely until the matter grows out of the publio mind. A little judicious mixture of common sense with law would bring good results In our justice, and np better place to try it can be found than in the court that is assisting Prendergast to escape his sentence. a iff

Men's Boys' and Children's Suits in great variety, for less money than has ever been known'be-' fore. The Tailoring Department of Goedman fc Hirschler is a real busy one. They have a good many orders for Spring Suits ahead, and are constantly receiving new styles of foreign and domestic woolens.

Wulschner fe Sou, 640 Wabash Avenue, have a novel display in their east window that attracts much attention. It is a Henry F. Miller Separable Upright Piano, separated, showing the. complete mechanism and make-up of a piano. The piano is especially adapted for removal, and can thus be taken up narrow stairways where otherwise an instrument could not be handled. Unlike many other pianos this case is of solid material, without veneering, and by this being separable all possibility of deception is avoided. It is an unique window display, and should be seen to be appredated.

The Spring has come, gentle Annie, and the demand for spring suits is on the increase. If you want to be in the head set, go to Kiewit & Holler's,"'8^93^ Main street, and leave your order lor a new suit from some of the elegant patterns they are Displaying. They will give you a first class fit, from the newest designs, and at prices that will surprise you at their lowness.

If every man in this city wao smokes oigars would make it a point to buy nothing but union made cigars, employment would be given to a great number of cigarmakers at good wages and every branch of local trade would be benefitted thereby. If you area smoker why don't you do your share towards such a condition of affairs by insisting on bav ing nothing but a blue-blue cigar. If your dealer doesn't keep them he will do so if yoa insist on it. Patronize home industries, help your own people, and therefore help your own city.

The art of getting something for nothing is ooe of the lost arts to us. The art of good cooking is not a lost art, neither is the art of making good cook stoves. But too much strain after the artistic In cook stoves stimulates what should be one of the lost arts, namely, tho art of an artful salesmen to get from an artless customer something for nothing. If you are thirsting for art go to your free art gallery and there, without money andwithout price, drink in the artistic beau ties of a Wabash nymph.
