TERRE HAUTE, IND., JULY 28, 1894.

THE glue makers have formed a trust. It is a sure thing that somebody will get "stuck."

THE strikes of tho miners and the railroaders will cost the state of Indiana fully $-15,000.

IT must grind tho president's soul to have his only defense in the senate made by Senator Hill.

THE President and the Senators have fallen out, and now perhaps the people will get their deserta.

THE Republican senators are having a real nice time now, enjoying the entertainmentfurnished tfefem by their Democratic associates.

COXEY wants to do away with both of the old parties, and substitute Coxeyism. If this were a nation of lunatics his plans might wucced. But it isn't.

THE Masons have expelled Breckenridge from membership, and if the people of his district will only expel him from congress the reputation of the old Blue Grass state will be enhanced.

A MUNOIE man died this week from drinking too much water. At least that is what is told in a current item, but it is believed to be a deep laid soheme of the brewery trust to frighten people out of drinking water altogether.

NOT satisfied with having "Congress on his hands," the President evidently wants to have his hands on Congress. He should take hold of that body by the seat of the congressional pants and throw it out. Tho people would feel relieved if he did so.

SENATOK GORMAN IS an old time ball player, and he used his knowledge of the national game in the senate on Monday. He made a hit that sent the senate tariff' bill from first to third base. If the House will only make a sacrifice hit It will be sent borne.

THE contempt eases against Debs, Howard, and their associates, in tho Unites States court at Chicago, have been continued until September, and there is a well-grounded suspicion that this means further postponement, ending finally In the matter being dropped.

THE statement i* tfi)ido that twentytwo years ago the roads now composing the great .Pennsylvania system were capitalized for f10,000,000, which of course represented more tl:an the actual cost of construction. Now the same roads are capitalized for 1815,000,000, an increase of 9775,000,000. while tho net earnings have increased from* 125,000,000 to $40,000,000.

1'HK railroad strike paralysed tho railroads, as shown by a statement of earnings for the first week in July. The C. A K. I. earned but $8,200 that week, whoroas in the corresponding week last year its earnings wore §93,000, and the Northern Pacific earned but $24,000 the first two weeks in July, while last year the first two weeks' earnings were $787,000. ___

THE President has appointed Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor, John I). Kernwn, aNew York lawyer, and ExCongress Worthingtou, of Peoria as the commission to investigate the recent strike troubles. Lyman Turnbull, or Chicago, who v.vs first mimed as the Illinois member of the commission, declined, giving as ills reason that the strike was ended and there was nothing to invesHs^fe.

AN Otn*hA judge refused to naturalise a Swede who appeared before him, be* cause the foreigner could not inform the court who made tho constitution of Nebraska, or the constitution of the United States. The judge's action was certainly commendable, but it to to be wondered whether he would hare been so careful if the application had been made a few days before an election when votes were needed.

TWK state of Kansas not satisfied with it» output of alleged statesmen has produced another, who proposes to go Jerry {Simpson one better. The latter won distinction as a sock less statesman, and the new discovery, Hugh Cameron, who is A tmndidatft tor congas*® ia the second Kansas district, I* going cannula barefooted and riding He aays he belong* to no political party, but'wlU simply appeal to the common sense of the people to tlwi him con*

will highly appreciate a table of the comparative rates paid by consumers for the privilege of burning natural gas for heating and cooking purposes. A table giving the price lor natural gas shows that in fourteen Indiana cities the average annual rate for cooking stoves is $21.40, for heating stoves, $17.12, and for grates $18.35, while Indianapolis consumers pay but $12 for cooking stoves, $7 for beating stoves and $10 for grates, and furnaces are fully as low by comparison. To be freed from the dirt and annoyance of coal stoves and furnaces at such a trifling cost is almost enough to tempt one to want to live in Indianapolis.

THERE is one American industry that has failed to get a foothold in foreign climes, and that is the manufacture of wooden legs. We make the best wooden legs on earth, and the German medicos are complaining because we don't sell them there. To the apparent objection that the demand would not justify efforts to secure the market, it is Baid that a number of societies exist in Germany for the sole purpose of supplying poor persons with necessary artificial limbs, and it is to be remembered that Germany is the land of surgery, an authority stating that from ten to twenty amputations are performed weekly at the smaller hospitals, which number must be greatly exceeded at the university clinics, to say nothing of 6,000 surgeons who are continually operating throughout the empire.

IN Gorman's speech in the senate on Monday, he said that if ooal should be placed on the free list not a person in the United States would be benefitted by it, but that all the advantages would acorue to the Canadian coal corporation which is seeking to monopolize the eastern coal market of the United States. That is what the Republicans have always contended, but if a Democratic spellbinder had made such a oandid admission in the campaign of 1892, he would have been drummed out of the party for betraying its most sacred principles. Politics make strange bedfellows, and there was never produced stronger proof than when a senator so high in the counsols of his party as Gorman, should, in the senate, admitanddefend a principle for which his opponents have always contended.

A MAN appointed pension agent at Des Moines, refused to take the office because the government regulations required him to be at his post of duty from nine o'olock in the morning until four in the afternoon, with a half hour off for lunch. He contended that such regulations placed him In a slate of servility that he could not endure. He evidently thinks that public office Is a private snap and should not be permitted to interfere with a man's regular business. The gentleman referred to is evidently equipped with an overly-acute conscience or he would have paid no attention to the department regulations. In this revenue distriot the collector finds time to practice his profession in our local courts, and act as judge in adjoining counties, conditions that oertainly would prevent him from being in his office from nine a. m. until four p. m.

THE Illinois Republicans sat down heavily, in their state convention this week, on tho scheme to nominate a candidate for senator. The Chicago fat boy, Ex Congressman Win. E. Mason, who wanted to be nominated, received a severe body blow, the vote against naming a candidate being 1019 to 315. This result is looked upon as being favorable to the chances for re-election of Senator Cullom, the author of the inter-state commerce law, who is not only willing but anxious to be compared to Abraham Lincoln in looks and persons! characteristics. Illinois has been gerrymandered into a Democratic state so far as the legislative and congressional representation is concerned, and it was feared that the nominating of asenatorial candidate would render lukewarm that numerous class of Republicans who are willing to work only when there is something in sight.

THE railroads at Cleveland are taking back their old employes who went out during the big strike, and discharging the men who weut to their relief to help them move trains when their own men wouldn't. The railroads always make a big bluff, after a strike, that they will always be loyal to the men who helped them out of trouble, but a careful examination of pay rolls a few weeks later generally discloses the fact that the new men are missing while old men get the places. Men of experience, with a knowledge of the intricacies of the busi ness, are invaluable to a railroad, where inexperience and ignorance can lead to a wholesale destruction of property and lives. Railroad managers are not much given to sympathy, as a rule, and are not going to take changes on expensive damage suits and destructive wrecks simply to indulge in a sympathetic strike against former employee, Sym puthy and dollars do not always go hand In hand, and it's the dollars the man agera want.

TUB whisky war Is to come to the front in South Carolina again next week, as Governor Tillman has issued a proclamation announcing that the die pensaries will be reopened the first of August. The act of providing for the dispensaries was declared uncon agitational by the Supreme court of the State, but the determined governor la going to enforce the act of 1868, which is identical with the old law except in minor d*t*ite. He aaja the couutr peoplfe wmat the law, and he baa apn la number of militia companies in country district* with a view to en forcing the law at all hamrda. South Carolina hi having an experience with a

fool governor that she is not likely to repeat, even if it becomes necessary to send him to the United States Senate to get rid of him. If Tillman should get to the Senate as a result of the fight he ia making against Senator Butler's reelection, he will be a startling addition to that aggregation of classical freaks now posing as government law makers. Many abler men have been buried there without seeming to realize it.

WAR IN FAR CATHA Y. The nations of Japan and China, between whom there is a jealous rivalry of long standing, are practically at war with each other as a result of a dispute over their respective rights in the kingdom of Corea, which is a peninsula virtually forming part of China. The King of Corea has been captured by the Japanese, who have sunk several Chinese transports and seem to have the best of the fight thus far. The Japanese nation has become more nearly Americanized than the Chinese, and the officers of their army and navy are said to be far superior to the Chinese, who as a nation are not theequalsof the Japanese, either in natural intelligence or education. The Japanese have been named the "Yankees of the Orient," and seem to be pushing the war with acoustomed Yankee vigor. China has an area of nearly five million square miles, and a population of over three hundred million souls to draw upon for soldiers to increase her regular army of 480,000, while Jajian in her area of 147,000 square miles, has a population of 40,000,000, and her regular army numbers but 100,000 men. Force of numbers does not always win fights, and Japan may gain such headway in the beginning of hostilities as to be able to conquer the hordes that China can run down the Corean peninsula.

It has been so long since there was a war between nations—except on paper— that the present outbreak creates much interest. It is not beyond the possibilities that this war may lead to complications between the two nations that have been maintaining an armed neutrality on the Indian frontier for years, Eng land and Russia. Russia's sympathy is with Japan, for her success means a barrier to England's further progress in the east. Much English capital is Invested in the Chinese trade, and Eng lish sympathy is always placed where English guineas are earning interest The White Czar only asks the slightest affront from the British to furnish him an excuse to hurl his legions over the frontier into the Queen's Indian empire, the conquest of which has ever been his ambition. It may be possible, therefore, that a conflict growing out of a simple national jealousy may plunge two great powers into a bloody war, greater, with the exception of the rebellion, than any of modern times.

PERHAPS no more, sensational Bcene was ever witnessed in the United States Senate than when Senator Gorman replied to the letter of the President criticising the Senate for its action on the tariff measure. He accused Mr. Cleveland of perfidy in the highest degree, in having sanctioned the measure agreed upon by the Democratic Senators and then indulging in his caustic comments in the letter to Chairman Wilson, oT the Ways and Means committee. He not only accused the President of double dealing, but in an unprecedented man ner proved his assertion by the testimony of Senators Vest, Harris and Jones, who had counseled with the chief magistrate on all the important items in the bill, to which he afterwards objected. Senator Hill made a great speech on Tuesday, defending the President, and dealing in sarcasm of the most exasperating kind. Whether he is heaping coals of fire on his old time enemy, or is conscientious in the stand he takes on the tariff bill, Senator Hill is certainly making a great reoord for himself. He has been consistent in his entire course in the tariff deliberations, has made his fight open and above board, and has won words ot praise from those who have heretofore had nothing but abuse for him. He has proved himself a ready, brilliant debater, a speaker of wonderful resources, and being afforded opportunities has had the ability to rise to the occasion. This session of Congress has brought him to the front, and his present standing allied with his touch with those who do the political work in his own State make him unquestionably the most prominent member of the Democratic party to day. He will be a dangerous quantity in future Democratic national conventions until his ambition to become President shall have been satisfied by success or quenched by successive defeats.

ONE might as well be a slave as to be compelled to sign the contracts which the receivers of the Santa Fe road are requiring of all their employes. The new contract provides that under the protection, and in the hands of the United States court, they stipnlate and agree that the employe "forswear allegiance to all labor organizations, agrees not to join any labor organizations, nor to belong to any organisation that oould be in any

way

prejudicial to the welfare of

the road.** If the United States court sanctions such rules as that, and the additional rule providing in the contract, that in case the employe does join a tabor organisation he shall at the time of the discovery of the fact by the company not only lose his job, but forfeit all wages owing to him from the company, it is high time that the United States courts were being reformed, According to this contract, if the receivers of the Santa Fe should decide that it was against the beat interests of the road for the employes to beioag to the Baptist church, or the Maooalc fraternity, or the Odd Fellows, or amy other society, they could forbid

it, and if the employes disobeyed the rule their wages could be confiscated. A man might just as well have a collar around his neck, with its chain in the hands of his employer as to be compelled to work under such restrictions. If it is wrong for employes to indulge in the boycott it certainly should be illegal for employers* to do so, and it ia to be hoped that no United States judge can be found to sustain a contract thatinter-feres-with the privileges of free men not charged with crime.

An Iowa pre&cher had the proud distinction this week of being enrolled on tho list of ministerial cranks, of whom Myron Reed is past master. A Rev. J. L. Weaver being called on to offer prayer at the Republican State convention, pulled the throttle wide open by invoking the divine blessing on the country in this hour of peril asked that its enemy, the Democratic party, be merciful as possible, and that the people be thankful for all the good it did, if it did anything to elicit their sympathies, and closed by appealing to Omnipotence to assist in expediting the Democratic party from power, and lay the hand of divine displeasure on it, and restrain it forever from the exeroise of government authority. Ever since the famous "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" speech that cost James G. Blaine the presidency it has been accepted as a matter of good taste and good sense that when ministers want to make a flying wedge in politics they should drop their ministerial pretentions. A few of them seem slow to realize, however, that they oan offend the proprieties of some occasions. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that contains Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to tfre good you cm possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney fc Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of tne system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the .genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney fe Co.,
