TERRE HAUTE, IND., JULY 14, 1894.

"GOD reigns, and the government at Washington still lives."

LUXURIES come high, and no mistake. The Coxey army disturbance have cost the government more than 952,000.

AFTER this cruel war is over Mr. Debs oan recover damages from any of the Chicago papers that published his pretended portraits.

IT will take all that Chicago made out of the World's Fair, the biggest of Its kind, to pay for the damages resulting from the biggest labor strike in history.

THB Postmaster General, Bissell, is going to have hisafootprintsin the sands of time." There is a Bissell postofflce in nearly every State in the Union, where before his term began there wasn't one.

THE fame that Coxey, Frey et al. gained was not of the enduring kind. They have dropped clear out of sight, and the newspapers never refer to them. It is a poor sort of, a man that can't get a few lines in a newspaper.

THE eflect the strike is having on business is shown by the official returns of last week's shipments out of Chicago. Week before last the total tonnage of freight shipments was 42,082, and last week it was cut down to 11,664 tons,

Two years ago at this time of year, if several hundred thousand Knights of Labor had been called on to quit work they might have done so. They didn't do so this year. Two 3 oar.s ago they hnd work to quit, This year it was different. Thp mail out of work can't strike.

ON Hangmau's day, Friday, and on tho 13tli, an unlucky day according to popular superstition, Prendergast, the murderer Carter Harrison, was hanged at Chicago. There was some doubt as to Ilia sauity. hut. tho doubt was not strong enough to allow him to escape tho enormity of his crime.

THINGS have come to a pretty pass in this country when a mob of foreigners can loot towns and drive the citizens out simply because they speak the English language, as was done at Spring Valley, 111., last Sattmia.v. There was an opportunity for the rcguhrs and their Gatling guns that should never have been neglected.

THE difference between the United States and foreign countries could not be told in volumes so eloquently as in the mere statement that France spends $4 per capita on her army and 70 cents for education. Russia spends $2.04 per capita on its army and three cents for education. Uncle Sam expends 39 cents on his army, per capita, and $1 35 per capita 011 education.

IK it can be established, as claimed, that the general managers of the railroads centering in Chicago eutered into a conspiracy to make no effort to carry United States mall until r11 of their roads had carried their points with the men, then they should be indicted the same ai the labor leaders, who are charged with obstructing the United States mails. What is sauce for the goose certainly should be sauce for the gander.

THK hard times have had one effect that is pleasing, and that is a falling off In iuimigration. The treasury department's immigration statistics for the last eleven mouths show that the de* crease of immigrant* for the full year will exceed 150,000. The total will probably bo 800,000 as against 450,000 for the preceding year. Hard times in the United States, discouraging reports sent home by those who sought work in •ain, and more discouraging reports carried back by those who actually left this country, account for the decrease.

TKKRK are boundless opportunities for reform in municipal government in this country. Recent statistics show that the population of the city of Philadelphia has, in thirteen years, increased 30 per cent and the taxable value of its property 40 per cent, while the coet of the municipal government has increased 350 per cent. The tendency to create special powers and enact special law* for large citiee results In Increasing the coet of conducting municipalities, and the tendency is growing. Nearly every city of respectable at*® wants a special charter, and It is the experience, in this state, at least, that special charters are very expensive luxuries.

SOXKBODT in the "Athens of Indiana" ought to appoint a committee to watch Gen. Lew Wallace and *ha* doesn't tear the clothes off his back over the strike. He propheoiee civil war, has organised two companies In Crawfords vi lie to s**Ut in settling the

trouble, and tendered his services to Governor Matthews* A little cheap no toriety is being achieved by a few persons, with offers of assistance, and one state commander of a secret society with a military side degree has offered six regiments of men to "go to the front." Up to date Governor Matthews has sue cwded in attending to his own business without the assistance of any of these officious outsiders, and he doubtless will be able to continue to discharge his duties without their help. 20^11

THE special judge before wborn was tried the case of the city of Indianapolis against the Commercial club, for the unexpended balance of the city's appropriation for the (?. A. R. encampment fund, has decided that the city cannot recover the money, which belongs to the club for assemblage purposes. He decided, however, that the money donated to Secretary Fortune, J5,000, for his services on behalf of the encampment, must be refunded, as it was diverted from its original purpose without authority. The neat little pickup of $5,000 that Mr. Fortune has been enjoying will therefore have to be returned to the donors, if the city's complaint is true.

THE number of business failures for the six months ending July 1st, while greater than during any preceding similar period, furnish some statistics that are gratifying. Notwithstanding the number of failures is greater, the aggregate of liabilities is less than last year, while during the past quarter there has been a steady decrease in the number of suspensions. "Bradstreet's" summary gives the total failures for the six months as 6,528, an increase of 4.6 per cent, compared with the first half of 1893, and 22 per cent, mere than in six months of 1892. The present tendency in the number of failures to decrease is shown by the fact that while at the end of the first quarter of the current year the increase over the like period last year was 900 failures, the increase this year over last, at the end of a half year, is only 289 failures. Total liabilities of falling traders for the six months are $82,555,000, assets being 54 per cent of that total. These aggregates are each less than one-half of what they were for six months of 1893, and smaller than in six months of 1891, as well. The settlement of the tariff question, which has been a direct menace to business for more than a year, and the adjustment of the present labor troubles would see a revival that would set the wheels of industry whirling all over the country—a wonderful revival by contrast with the conditions that have existed for months past. Providence has been bountiful to us in the way of crops, and if it could only endow men with an extra amount of reason, fitting the times, it would not be long until we were as prosperous as ever.

THE vice president of the Pullman Co., Wickes, deserves to be ranked with Frick, of the Carnegie fcrowd. Wickes was visited by a committee from the Chicago city council In the effort to secure arbitration and avoid a great public danger. The offer was to leave the matter of settlement of the wage question to a committee consisting of the four judges of the Cook county Circuit court, four representatives to be chosen by the Pullman Co., and the eight to select the ninth, in case they were unable to agree the Pullman Co. to select him. To this the high and mighty Wickes replied: "We shall not allow any one to tell us how our business shall be conducted, and we shall not consent to arbitration. Our business is our own private affair, and we want no interference from federal, state or any other government." The theory is correct In the abstract that every man has the right to conduct his business in his own way, and the laws of states guarantees him this right. But when the conduct of his business interferes with the public welfare, when it is likely to precipitate violence, when excitement is worked up to such a pitch that anything is possible, he should be willing to sacrifice something for the benefit of the public on whose patronage he depends. If the statement made by the Pullman Co. that their business will not permit the increase of wages asked by their men, arbitration long before this would have proved it, and established them in their position. But, autocratic as any Czare, Wickes and Pullman steadfastly refuse to listen to reason, and would rather see all Chicago burn down than that they should retreat one-thousandth part of ap inch from their position. This is as much of an extreme as that assumed by the rioters who insist on forcing arbitration by tearing np tracks and destroying property. There Is a happy medium between these extremes, and the government should have the power to enforce arbitration along its lines, as it forbids crowds assembling and suspends public meetings. One of the results of this strike, the greatest in the world's history, will be, sooner or later, the enactment of national laws compelling arbitration. Such laws would be just and equitable, and the people demand something to curb the arrogant spirit of such men as Frick, Wickes, Pullman et al.

MURDERED BY REQUEST.

An Aged. Frenchman, Tired of Life, Hire* a Boy to Stab Him to Death. A strange boy murderer is Francdls Berth olier, a lad of 16, who has beea tried before the Aix assizes for killing an old man named Blanchard at the latter's request In the dock he related tiia crime with grim composure. He said: "On Friday, Oct 13 (mark the uncanny day and date), the day before tHe arrival of the Russians, Blanchard and I went to Toulon. He then spoke to me for the first time of his intention of putting an end to his life. He dwelt on this topic for several hours, telling me about his lamentable physical condition and entreating me to deliver him from his suffering." "Did yon ask him why he hesitated to commit suicide?" "He told me he could not bring himself to the point and that he had religions scruples. A couple of days later he came into my bedroom and woke me up. He said: 'Francois, I count on you for today. I wish it to be all oyer by this evening.' I was very astonished. He added: 'I am going to sign a bill for 1,800 francs for you. You may cash it at my notary's at Carpentras.' "This sum of 1,800 francs caused yon to make up your mind?" "It did. I bought a sheet of stamped paper and made out the bill, which Blanchard signed. Then we went to Joliette (to Marseilles) to take the steam tramway. Just before starting we went to a cafe, where my friend made me drink glasses of peppermint He gave me sixpence to buy a knife at a store. In the tramway Blanchard told me to smoke a lot in order to deaden my feelings. "At L'Estaque we entered another cafe, and I was made to drink four or five absinthes. We went along the highroad, when Blanchard, stopping, said: 'This seems to me the right sp^^Wejfaall to very comfortable here.' "We went under the road bridge. My friend undressed and blindfolded his eyes and stretched himself on the flagstones." "How many blows did you strike with your knife?" "Four. On the way he had recommended me to strike several times—to strike at the temples and the jugular vein." "Indeed you followed out his advice. You struck with a deftness which a professional murderer would envy. Did Blanchard die at once?" "Yes. He leaned forward a, little, heaved a sigh, and that's all.", "What did you do next?" "I had a little blood on my fingers. I washed them in the sea." "Did you feel no remorse, no terror'" "A little, yes."

The jury brought in a verdict of not guilty on the ground that Bertholier had acted without knowledge of crime, but the tribunal ordered that he should he sent to a house of correction until the age of 20.—Paris Journal.

SEAGOING HOBOES.

Ships Sailing ITrom San Francisco Are Carrying a Full Xiist of Stowaways. Nearly every ship that has gone out of port in the past two months has had one or more stowaways on board. As a rule, captains do not ol/act to one or two, but when it comes to half a dozen or more it is a serious matter. The coasters to northern ports have been most patronized by stowaways, and now it is the usual thing for the captains of the ships to make a tour through the hold of their vessels to make sure that they will not have more of a crew than they can feed.

On the last trip of the Enoch Arden north nine men were stowed away in her hold when she was towed out of port, and they did not show themselves until the tug was well out of hailing distance. When the vessel reached Seattle, she was nearly bare of provisions. The stowaways on ships north are all bound for the lumber regions of Washington or tho mines of British Columbia, where they hope to get work. Those who manage to get away from San Francisco on Bhips bound elsewhere seem to have no definite end in view except to keep moving if it does not take too much exertion.—San Francisco Examiner.

An English Nail Eater.

A remarkable surgical operation1#as performed this week at the Lancaster County Lunatic asylum upon William Fitapatrick, one of the inmates. This man some time ago took to swallowing things, and on Monday morning he ate 193 flooring nails, which naturally upset his digestion. An operation was decided upon without the remotest chance of saving the man's life. During the operation, which lasted two hours, the surgeon took from his stomach the 192 nails aforesaid, varying from to 3 inches in length, a half of a screw, a piece of wire, two buttons and a mass of matted hair. The nails alone weighed nearly two pounds. Fitepatrick isex peoted to die.—London News.

Private Letter* Mad* Public. There has been much speculation over tho appearance in the auction mart reoently of private letter* to prominent persons still living. Thus nine letters from Motley, the American historian, to Bismarck were sold this week for $300. One was marked "private and confidential" and was addressed "Dear Old Bismarck." There is no doubt that these letters are genuine, hut the natural query is, How did they get into the public market?—London Standard.

His Apology.

Meacham delivered a speech

at the banquet of the Kentucky Press olub at Fxsnkfort and published the thing in full in the next issue of his own newspaper. He thus apologized to his readers: "This is not done at anybody's request nor to fill a long felt want. In fact, we have no good excuse of any kind for publishing it But, as it is labeled, those who wish to escape are not obliged to read it

SHORT AND SWEET.

The man who loses is never accused of not playing fair. The theatrical footlight has made many a bead light. "Let us sweep," the housemaid whispered to the new broom.

A natural man is combinations of streaks of good and bad. It does not require a legal education to go into the son-in-law business.

Every man has his own particular bent, especially those who are crooked. It is said that a man from the Pine Tree state can be told by the pitch of his voice.

It is unfortunate for a shoemaker when his customers are unable to foot their bills.

If some men were half as big as they think they are the world would have to be enlarged.

A person who forgives without forgetting is nobler than he who forgives and forgets.

LEARNING. THROUGH NECESSITY.

Chicago's Lesson Conned From tho Coal Famine Caused by the Strike.^ Under the old rule that "it's an ill wind that blows nobody good" the coal famine has taught Chicago at least one useful lesson.

Haven't the residents of this town observed that the skies have been clearer of late? Haven't they taken notice of the fact that the peaks of the tall buildings have not been so deeply clouded with banks of floating smoke, from which the black and sooty flakes fell on the victims in the shaded streets? Welcoming the glad transformation, have they asked themselves the reason for it?

In June, 1894, for the first time in years persons ascending the Masonic Temple or Auditorium tower were enabled to see on a working day the green clumps of Garfield park far to the west and the big, rambling building of Packingtown at the stock yards, four miles to the southwest They were visible through a veil of smoke, it is true, but it was a veil and not a wall of foggy, impenetrable darkness. The same staolrs that had coughed out volcanio columns of dense smoke now sent the faintest gray wreaths curling upward. It was like Sunday.

Had the factories been closed and the fires banked? Was there less demand for working power in the big buildings. No to both questions.

The fact was that coal had become very scarce and the price had increased. Every man who burned coal was having it fed into the fire boxes a mere spoonful at a time, so as to make the supply last as long as possible. In other words, he was getting almost perfect combustion, and consequently there was little, if any, smoke pouring out of the stack. He was getting the full value of his coal, and this, it might seem, would be a good thing for him to do.whAthar or not there was a coal famine.

To some minds the late improvements in smoke consumers is proof positive that if furnaces were fed economically at all times the smoke would almost disappear. It is the reckless stoker who stuffs the furnace and then takes a long rest who causes most of the suffering. He did his duty when tho coal famine began because his employer metaphorically stood over him with a club to see that he wasted no fuel. Then the smokestack reformed, as did its neighbors. Temporarily, at least, the horror was abated, and the prolonged strike of the miners did that much good.—Chicago Record.^. 5 "'kA Cook Book Free. •'Table and Kitchen" is the title of a new. cook book published by the Price Baking Powder Company, Chicago.

in Artistic Job.

The work of Improving the National State bank is about oompleted, and attracts much attention. The fresco work by H. Stuokwish & Co especially wins words of praise for it is probably the most artistio work of the kind ever done In the city. The walls are done in terra cotta, the ceiling in a shade of blue, the frieze and ornaments blending in these colors in a most finished manner. The design for the ceiling shows four corner pieces of natural flowers either of whioh would be a treasure for a parlor. These pieces show roses, wild roses, daisies, pansies, palms, etc., executed so naturally as to almost tempt one to pluck them. Henry Stuokwish and Chas. Kanzleiter did the work on the room, and they certainly have reasons to feel proud of it.
