BUNION

TERRE HAUTE, IND., APRIL 14, 1894

Thk bard times have bad one effect that will not be deplored. Herr Most, the New York anarchiMt, in a financial wreck.

The labor leaders may well ask, after examining the decisions cf Judge Jenkins and Judge Caldwell, what shall we do when the judges disagree.

Thk friends of the women's rights movement have gained another victory in IoWa, where the legislature passed a bill conferring on women the right to vote for town, city and school officers and on all questions of issuing bonds. This Is the first time women have been given this right in Iowa.

Thk Indianapolis bank looter, Theo. P. Haugbey, entered a plea of guilty in the United States court this week, but sentence will be reserved until the other parties indicted have been tried. This is a sad closing of the public career of a man who bad for years been looked up to as a model of all that is honest, just and upright in life.

Tiik political campaign is beginning to warm up. Over in Brazil,one faction of the Republican party is using such terms, concerning an opponent as a "low-down, despicable, dirty liar," and "political scoundrel." This is only April, and before November arrives the man will no doubt become what Sidney Swift called the fnhwoman, a "rhomboidal, rectangular parellelogram." And then look out for blood.

Whkn the Louisiana legislature meets next month it will have confronting it a situation that whs never before known in the history of any state of the union, that of electing three United States senators. One is for the term ending March 1, 1805 one for the term ending March 4, 1897, Justice White having been elected for a second te as senator before he had completed hih first one and one for the term ending March 4, 1901, the successor to the Ute Senator Gibson. Another striking feature of the situation is that in the event of a legislative deadlock, no senator being chosen, the state will be eutirel}' without representation in the upper house of congress until 18W, unless the governor should call an extra session of the legislature and it should elect to the vncant. senatorships.

Thk politicians must have been at work among the Creek Indians, who refused to accept the proposition of the Dawes commission regarding the disposition of their lands. In refusing they say they are invited to give up a system wndor whhih they have prospered and exchange their land tenure for the system that is reducing the great masses of the people of the United States to pauperism and discontent. The "pauperism and discontent" expres sion sounds like a choice phrase selected from the vocabulary of a free trade writer or speaker, when inducing the people to vote for a "change," and it seems to have made a strong impression on Poor Lo The Creeks voted to a man against the proposed system, and advised the members of the commission to return home and attend to their own business.

Day by day the evidence accumulates showing that freaks break into the ministerial profession quite as frequently as they manifest thoir presence in other callings. Last week agent leman of the cloth was fined in Indianapolis for being such an idiot as to deface the soldiers' monument by carving his name on it, and this week a New Jersey clergyman paid an election bet by ridiug a man in a wheelbarrow down the principal street of his town before an applauding crowd. The man who enjoyed the ride was also a clergyniau, and the point on which the bet was made was on the repeal of the infamous race track laws of New Jersey. It will require a very peculiar sort of religious training to be able to decide that It is wrong to bet on a horse race, but perfectly proper for olergymeu to bet on election results, but it seems that all things are possible in New Jersey.

Thk recent visit of the survivors of the battle of Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing, has resulted in an attempt by Gen. Lew Wallace, to correct the history as It has been variously written of the part played by his command in the first days' disaster of that memorable contest. He has always vigorously denied that It was his fault that bis command failed to reach the battle field in time to turn the tide of war, and a survey made by him last week substantiates bis previous statements. To the charge that he marched bnt six mi less the day he was needed at the front, and that hi# direction was away from rather than toward the fight, he showed that hta division marched over eighteen mile* that day, and that every step was to­

ward the battle, and some cf iuiuugh mud that took the gun wheels to the axle. Of all the important battles of the war, perhaps there has been more discussion concerning Wallace's part in the Shiloh fight than any other, and the visit of the survivors to the scene of the fight, and the new statements concerning it will donbtle«s bring out many columns of newspaper talk regarding it. The evidence seems to be that Oen. Wallace has been done a great injutice during all these years, aud all the newspaper controversies or discussions cannot change this fact.

The club fever uas reacned the working girls in Chicago, and one is to be organized there witb all the good, and none of the bad features of tbe male clubs. They estimate that such a club can be mainteined at an expense to each girl of not to exceed three dollars a week, giving her a pleasant room, two wholesome meals a day, and all tbe advantages of a home. Every member must be respectable, but will be provided with a nightkey, and when she gets married must resign from the club. Tbe demand for such clubs is great in the large cities, where the number of young women who earn their living, and are deprived of the pleasures of a home, is on the increase. There is a vast field for the doing of much good for a worthy class of women in this respect. Co-operative housekeeping has not proved very successful where it has been tried, but it has failed more from the fact that it has been impossible to get a roof large enough to cover more than one family in tbe same household, than from any impracticability of the scheme.

The suit to test the constitutionality of tbe last apportionment act in this state has been in progress at Indianapolis this week, and is now under advisement by Judge Brown, before whom it was tried. He promises a decision within a week or ten days, and no matter what the decision may be it will be appealed to the Supreme Court for final decision. If tbe higher court decides that the law is good tbe Republicans will doubtless abandon all hope of carrying the legislature at the coming election, for tbe manner in which the legislative districts are now divided makes it next to impossible for the Democrats to be defeated in both branches unless an unexpected avalanche should occur. If the court holds the law iuvalid tbe election for members of the legislature this fall will be held on tbe basis of the last legal apportionment before the present one, which was made after the Supreme Court bad decided the previous one unjust and illegal. It is impossible to apportion this state or any other in a manuer that will satisfy the partisans of both sides, and whatever the outcome of the present suit may be it is safe to say that there will be dissatisfaction with the result. There will always be, dissatisfaction until some plan is devised by which such apportionments can be made by a commission, and under provisions by which the leading political parties will have an equal or a fairly equal show in a contest for the control of the legislature. Such a commission is likely to begin Its work a few days before the inllleniuin.

SUNDAY AT THE FAIR.

PROF. MARLOW WRITES OF A SUNDAY VISIT TO THE MIDWINTER FAIR.

Special correspondence of the Mall. Palo Alto, Cal., April 6, 1894.—In a small village near San Francisco there is a zealous little preacher who prays regularly every Sunday night for the sinners who have been at the Midwinter Fair that day, but regardless of the little man's prayers some of his flock will often stray off to the wicked city, at least the charm of one of California's bright spring mornings did lure a few astray, and surely the hour's ride up the beautiful Santa Clara valley was as Inspiring as any sermon. There were tbe rich and well-tilled lowlands skirted by the rolling hills with their green grass and budding trees the flocks pasturing on hillside and in valley in tbe quiet of the bright Sunday morn and dotted about in the villages along the road were the beautiful homes of San Francisco's wealthy who love to steal away from the fogs and smoke of the city and enjoy the quiet of these favored spots— all clasped in the krms of the warm midwinter sun. It was a sceue that touches the soul of man and draws it a little more closely to the bosom of the Infinite One. But the runaway visitors had soon exchanged ail this for tbe livelier scenes of Golden Gate Park and were hnrrylftg on to the entrance to the Midwinter Fair grounds.

THE GROUNDS.

Surely these grounds have a most beautiful setting. They are nestled away in a picturesque nook of Golden Gate Park—that broad expanse of a thousand acres washed on one side by the waters of the Pacific. All about are the walks and drives of the park winding among flowers and trees and green

Tbe

clad hills while over all are the fairest skios that this land knows. Here amid these charming beauties the visitor will surely find it a fitting spot to view with pleasure and profit these rich products of nature and civilization. vfSuJ

MUSIC. sJlSL

The air was full of sweet music on that beautiful Sunday morning and so were the glad hearts of the visitors. The I easy-going, pleasure-loving throng^ lingered about tbe band stands there to cba'i and amuse the Sunday hours away at their own sweet will. Truly, the crowd was a mixed one. Every grade of society from the wealthy merchant to the poor laborer was there, but when tbey came under the charm of the music and sunshine they all melted in to one. Not a loud or boisterous word was spoken. Even the newsboys, touched by the spirit of the occasion, put aside tbeir usual noisy yells and meekly offered their papers to their silentjMistomers. The good little min ister flay have been right when he prayed that such ecenes as these might not be, but I dare say that a wider cir cle of human hearts was touched by the strams of the music that day than his conventional words could have reached. The oharm of a sweet tune is worth a dozen dry sermons.

FINE ARTS BOILDINGi

From music to painting aud sculpture is an easy step, and all day long a continual throng was strolling off from the band stand to the Fine Arts building, and certainly nothing was lost by the exchange. The building itself is a pyramid like structure and stands unique among all the others of the Fair. Its architecturfc is Egyptian, and on its walls both without and within are cut the queer looking figures and representations of this ancient people. As you look upon the quaint yellowish structure, the thousands of years since the Pharaohs reigned fade away, and it does not seem inconsistent or unproper that this faint leminder of that old civilization by the Nile should be made to shelter nineteenth century art What could be more fitting than that the two civilizations, so important in the world's history, should thus clasp hands in this beautiful building of California's Midwinter Fair? But as you enter, wandering back in thought over all these thousands of years, you are reminded that cs yet all men are not mummies by a queer sign which reads "Positively visitors are not allowed to carry canes and parasols In the art rooms. Check room to left." The old Egyptian was wont to punch out the life of a fellowman while his nineteenth century brother is content to aim his thrusts at bis fair likeness, and so the punching propensities of tbe race go on. But leaving canes and parasols behind you are at once ushered into the beauties of the building. The first piece of work to catch your eye is the heroic

STATUE OP QUEEN ISABELLA. ,^

The story of the statue is partly told j[y the words just beneath and in front:

UI

will assume the undertaking for my own crown of castile, and am ready to pledge my jewels to meet the expense of tbe expedition," and at the side in the words of Prescott "She seconded Columbus in his arduous enterprise, shielded him from the oalumny of his enemies, and the day of her death proved the last of his good fortune. The crowned queen dressed in long flowing robes, holds the proffered jewels in her right hand, a role of parchment in her left, and wears on her breast the simple cross of her faith. She is stately and dignified in her queenly station as is most fitting at this the triumphant moment of her life. You can almost imagine that beneath that holy cross her noble heart still beats for tfoe success of the daring sailor whom she was so generously befriending. The statue is certainly a most noble conception of that interesting historical figure of old Spain. It was recently, unveiled with imposing ceremonies in tbe Fine Arts building and is the work of Miss Harriet Hosmer, born in Watertown, Mass., and for many years connected with the studios of Rome. It was interesting to watch the effect of the statue upon tbe streams of passers by as they stopped, paused for a moment to catch its meaning, and passed slowly on. They loitered for hours among the beautiful works of painting and sculpture and passed out into the warm sunshine again and moved on with the crowds about tte Court of Honor.

SEEN IN THE COURT OF HONOR.

And surely this was as attractive as tbe scenes of any art gallery, aye there was there tbe very material out of which the art galleries are made, and a seat under the big blue dome of the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building showed every type of humanity on the grounds, for like the weaving crowds on circus day they all passed any given point many times in the coarse of the day's tramp. Various indeed were the types of men and women that lounged leisurely about in tbe warm winter sunshine listening to the music andi enjoying the beauty of the Court of Honor. The dusky little natives of Ceylon, n^glectinp their wares within, sat listlessly

dreaming of their far off hon^e and a final return no doubt with a goodly number of American dollars. The elite of Chinatown, that thorn in San Francisco's side, was there, too, and 9 fine display it did make. The little Chinese dames, though by no means handsome, were dressed out in theirgaudiest colors, and took the liveliest interest in the sights of tbe Fair. The ohildren, with their feet cramped in their little $hoes, trotted along at tbeir mother's side babbling away in their usual childish fashion. Even the San Francisco belles required a second glance for every one had a parasol which to an Indianian is certainly a novel sight for January or February. Many of the shades were no larger than a big palm leal fan, and instead of being held overhead were turned edgewise on the handle much in tbe manner of a fan, and were carried by tbe pretty belle in that jaunty manner known only to the California girl so as to shade merely ber face. Among the well-dressed men and women passed a rough old stage coach from the mining camp of '49 drawn by six horses and bearing the sign: "To Gold Gulch '49 Mining camp." The old relic seemed strangely out of place in its beautiful and modern surroundings, but it stirred the heart of many an old pioneer as it recalled to bim the wild scenes of Uiose earlier days. It rattled around the Court of Honor and down the south drive of the grouuds, and was soon lost sight of in that crowded street.

AND ON MIDWAY.

This drive is the Fair's Midway and is already a rival of the noted original. Chicago had plenty of time to see the sights of the place, but San Francisco has more, as the crowds plainly told. In front of the Hawaiian village a coarse native was sitting on an old cow at both were decked out in the gayest fashion. "Oh, say, we must go in," exclaimed an en'husiastic San Francisco woman approaching, whose aesthetic sense was touched no doubt by the beautiful and artistic sign. But It was just tbe same everywhere. The same fit of appreciation seized the whole crowd in front of every conoession, and no wonder the lucky manager smiles with a sly twinkle of his eye at the very mention of Midway (revised edition). Tbe Sunday air was filled with tbe hideous howls of these lusty shouters nerved to their best efforts by the crowds that flocks to see their shows. Pleasure and amusement—why, they touch the tender spot of a Californian's heart. His attitude toward this part of tbe exposition was fairly expressed recently by an editorial in a leading. San Francisco daily which said in part: "The Midwinter Fair is a great educator, but it is something else. It is a show place and a place for innocent amusement and merriment, and he must be a pessimist of tbe deepest and darkest dye who can believe that the human family has no right to amuse itself in proper ways and at proper times." But the fact is tbe Californian is eager to find tbe "proper ways" and "proper times," and so he regards that which makes bis heart merry and glad as no small part of the great show.

And as you travel homeward at the end of a Sunday spent with these people you are inclined to forgive their infringement (If such it may te called) upon the sacred Sabbath. You are impressed that life is not all worry and toil, and that to live means more than to dig for dollars and struggle for power and place. As you wander about the park clothed in its richest garb of a California winter and filled with beautiful buildings and statuary, you catch the spirit of the merry, easy-going throngs and delight to while the happy Sunday hours away with them. Your soul is freed from the drudging cares of daily routine, and for one day at least you are willing with the Californians and with Shakespeare to "fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the goiden world."
