TERRE HAUTE, IND., JUNE 16, im.

WHEN tbe tariff bill was Introduced in the senate, Senator Qorman said it would be passed by tbe 15cli of June. Tbe 15th has come and gone, and now tbe senator Is entitled to another guess.

Now we are going to have a gasoline stove trust, and between this trust and that of the servant girls who know how to work one of the machines, the life of a householder is not filled with joy these days.

THE scheme to make tbe Indianapolis judiciary non-partisan, so-called, fell through, as was expected. The Republicans are not going into any "non-par-tisan" schemes this year, and other years the Democrats are not anxious tor them, in Indianapolis at least.

TUB sensational story sent out from Washington about a plot to blow up the government buildings there probably had its origin in the assured fact that the people are ready to "blow up" congress for its failure to do anything, Press and public will say amen to that kind of a "blow up."

THE belief in cremation is apparently on the increase in New England, where there is a cremation society organized with a capital stock of $25,000 and a membership of over 300, which is constantly increasing. The crematory was built last year, and since then thirty-four bodies have been reduced to ashes. There is something repugnant in the thought of having one's friends and dear ones burned to ashes, and it will take a long time to bring ciemation into general use, but the world will be better off in a sanitary way when it does come into popularity.

THE prosecution of the law prohibiting the importation of foreign contract labor does not meet with very flattering success. A recent statement from the treasury department shows that in five years the government has prosecuted 230s oases, but in only seventy-seven of these has succeeded In conviction. The •damages sued for amounted to $423,200, but the amount recovered was only $27,000. The law has some very Jgood features, but there must be sumething wrong either with it, or the way in which it is enforced, when such a small percentage of the prosecutions are suo cessful.

THE wonderful lutertst displayed in the rough and tumble game of football, hitherto oonflned to amateurs, has led to the organization of a professional football league, which takes in all the larger eastern cities. If players who get paid for pulling hair, cracking heads and breaking limbs, throw the same vigor into the sport hitherto manifested by amateurs, there will l:e an alarming increase in the mortality rate throughout that section. It will also cause a prostration of the barber's trade, for an upo-dato football player never thinks of having his hair cut oftener than once ©very twelve months.

THE athletes of Yale college are going to England to try conclusions with the college athletes there, and they are doing everything to counteract the effects of the climatic changes incident to tbe trip. So much haa been said of tbe superior brawn and muscle of the mother country that we will soon see whether it can stand up with that of our own college athletes, who during the past fewyears have given so much attontiou to physical culture—so much in fact that it is probably true that a majority of the students if called on for their choico, would prefer a high standing in their ^lege athletics than in their studies.

THK persistency with which the socalled Industrial armies Insist on being fed and cared for by communities along their lines of inarch has lost them the respect of the public. At first there was much commiseration expressed for them as a lot of unfortunate men, out of emplcfrment, who under misapprehension of facts and the lead of misguided "generals" were seeking relief and work. But time has proved that they are, as a rule, a lot of blackmailers who do not want work, but are aatlsfled to live off of others. Their march to Washington has degenerated from a farce to a nuisance, and a» such should be vigorously sup pressed.

SOME of the newspapers of the Ninth district, this State, are claiming for J. Frank Han ley, the Republican nominee for Congress ill a district 5,000 Republi can, the distinction of being the youngest member of Congress from Indiana since ex-Governor Will Cum back was elected at the age of twenty-fivo, Mr. Hanley is thirty-one yean old, which is comparatively young for a Congress man* but not young enough to break the record since Gambade. That distinction belongs to Terre Haute and Hon. JohaE.La»b. OurdisUngulsbed fellow

'-K

citizen, whose record won for him the sobriquet of the "blue-eyed boy of destiny," was elected to Congress from the Eighth district before he had attained the age of thirty years. Be was elected In November, 1882, and celebrated his thirtieth birthday in December following. Truth and justice demands that Terre Haute's records shall not be ignored, whether it be in politics, athletics, boss racin' or what not, aDd therefore the Ninth district man must take aback seat as being tbe youngest Indiana congressman, since. 1854, the year of Cumback's election.

THE Tammany cat will need the traditional nine lives of the ordinary feline if it is enabled to escapedismemberment this f«*ll. The good government clubs of all kinds and descriptions, and the various political organizations outside of Tammany are going to unite against it, and people who have never registered or voted will do so this time in the attempt to redeem New York from the shame for whish her own people are responsi ble by their apathy. When all tbe elements of opposition are combined Tammany will have the hardest fight it has ever had to face, and as a result her police will have something else to do besides shielding and "protecting" vice and crime.

THE old Southern aristocracy that ruled by divine right is making a last ditch fight against the common people in South Carolina, in the fight between Senator Butler and Governor Tillman for tbe succession to the former's seat in the United States Senate. Butler has been a member of the Senate so long that few can remember that his predecessor was a Republican, is the last member of the old line of the aristocracy of the State, and should he be beaten, Tillman, the representative of tbe common people, will be the dictator of his party in that State. The outcome of the fight has no particular political significance, but as a fight between tbe old and the new it will be watched with interest.

AT every seaport in the United States where immigrants are received is stationed a United States Commissioner of Immigration, who among other duties is required to notify health officers throughout the country of tbe destination of those immigrants landed from infeoted ships. Last week there were shipped to the mining regions of central and southern Illinois a batch of these importations, and here is a sample lot of names of these desirable additions to our civilization: Juei Waischwill, Anton Barczewskl, Josuf Petroska, Josef Schwontkowski, Katackyna Lis, Wilhstsov Sablotny, Eleazer Rlwkui, Moiscbe Malaschok, Spiros Bicos, Nlcolaus Diamantis, Mikaei Libissis, Vassilio Karavetis, DemetrloB Tserodimas, Yeronika Grochowska, Peter Pofelsky, Arthur Rietzke, M. Tomkoviak, Schmul Mer, Josef Krejci, August Stemetzka, Pevel Plamivak, Yaclaw Nemer, Franje Chi fire. Working behind barricades like slaves, ignorant of our laws, and our people, except those who are their virtual masters, these are the men who are being used to build up our American oitizenship, men who defy law and its representatives, and pillage, plunder and destroy when forced out of their slave pens. The gates of Castle Garden have been swinging inward too long for this class of citizens. It is full time that they begin to swing the other wall.

WE hare heard a great deal of the tenement house district In New York City, but it seems the half has never been told. A census was recently taken of the distriot under the direction of tbe Board of Health, and its figures are appalling. The census shows that there are 39,138 tenements in the twenty four wards of that city, of which number 2,346 are rear houses. The population of tbe tenement districts is 1,332,773, oi which 180,539 are children less than five years old. The rear houses contain no less than 55,130 persons, including 8,784 children under five years old, who must exist with little or no chance for sunlight or fresh air. There can be little wonder that under such conditions and circumstances these miserable districts are breeding places for disease and crime. The thought of rearing children under conditions that deprive them of the health and life-giving sunlight and fresh air is not a pleasant one, and the wonder is that statistics do hot show even a more startling increase of crime. The fresh air funds, created and maintained by the benevolent people of the great city, are doing a great good for the children of these suffering people, but their means are totally inadequate to perform the work demanded. It can never be fully accomplished until the city and state take hold of the matter and require property owners to construct their tenement houses with some regard for health and hygiene.

THE sex statistics of the last census are of interest as showing the proportion of married and single males and females, and the apparent effect of marriage on the different sexes. According to these out of every 100 adults in the United State* in 1890 there were 26 single, 65 married and 9 widowed. There were 31 single, 04 married andS widowed out of every 100 males, as compared with 20 single, 67 married and IS widowed oat of every 100 females. Tbe excess of males over females in the country at large Is 1,513,610. The excess of single males, however, ts nearly twice as great, or 2,761,588. Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have tbe smallest proportions of single and the largest proportions of married in the whole country, while the proportion of widowed Is tally as large as in any other part of the Union. There is an excess of single males in every state and territory, estospt the District of Oolumbi*, while, on

the other band, the widowed females are uniformly in excess in every state and territory of the Union. The conclusion to be drawn from these figures is that married life is rendered happier to the average man than to tbe average woman. Once experiencing marriage and happy results, the average man when widowed seeks a renewal of the pleas ares of connubial life. These figures oi the other hand seem to prove that woman, after passing through the marriage state and becoming a widow, loth to re-enter it, thus increasing the proportion of widowed females, as shown by tbe census. According to popular belief widows have added charms for the male sex, but according to census figures—and figures never lie—their experiences in life bave given them in creased facilities for resisting the blandishments of the opposite sex. Sam Weller's advice to "bevare of viddors" modernized seems to be, "vidders, be vare of men." gjh

HAVING, in common with many other states, imported a ballot law from Aus tralia, Massachusetts is now going to ex periment with a liquor law from Norway, where it is said to have met with great success as a regulator of tbe liquor traffic. The law provides that in all towns in the state where there is a liquor license there shall be formed a eorpora tion for the sale of liquor. The stock holders shall never receive a dividend exceeding 5 per cent, and the net profits of the business, after the formation of reserve fund, shall be used for objects of general benefit, sach objects being se lected by the shareholders. There shall never be more than one licensed place for the sale of liquor to 2000 people, except that every town, of whatever size, may have ene plaoe. It is claimed that In Sweden and Norway the operation of this law has so reduced the profits of the business as to decrease the inducements offered by liquor sellers for the spending of money in drink. Tbe prohibitionists of course are opposed to tbe law, as they refuse to sanction high license or any other law than that which makes the Belling of liquor a crime. The experience of the states in which prohibition has been tried demonstrates the fact that there is no available scheme for prohibition that is at all successful. The great mass of real temperance people, who are not extremists, will sanction any rational scheme that will regulate liquor selling and reduce the amount of drinking. The Massachusetts experiment will therefore be watched with interest. __
