TERRE HAUTE. IND., AUGUST4,1894.

SOME of the politicians in the old parties are trying to guess bow big a vote will be cast for the Populist ticket this fall.

FORTUNATELY when we read the news from the war in the far East we do not have to pronounce the names of those (warships.

THE tariff patient is getting no better very fast. Some other doctors should be called in for consultation as to change of treatment.

THE "Boy Orator of the Platte," Congressman Bryan, has bought an Omaha newspaper for the express purpose of boosting himself into the Senate. In order to prevent the blue pencil from spoiling some of the florid language of his "Across the Alps lies Italy" speeches he's going to be a real editor himself.

WAITE, the "bloody bridle" Governor of Colorado, is a candidate for re-elec-tion, and says he is going to get there by a majority of 20,000. The governor was a hundred-to one shot in the first place, and hundred to one fhots are not likely to win twice in succession. He is like the forest trees, dying at the top, but he doesn't seem to realize it.

THE transformation of Senator Hill from a political outlaw to a patriotio statesman in the eyes of the mugwumps Is one of the amusing incidents of the tariff deadlock. Of course no mugwump could possibly be made to understand that Senator Hill has not changed his position one iota and that bis glee is altogether due to the fact that he is now rejoicing in the verification of the old adage that nil thing* come to ihim who waits

THE railroad companies have notified the United States court officials at Indianapolis that they will not bear any part of the expense of the injunction proceedings in the strike troubles. It is Tight and proper that they should not be ,permitted to do so. If the proceedings were necessary in the enforoemeut of the inter-stato, or any other United •States law, the United States government should stand all the costs of the proceedings. It won't do to let railroad corporations "hire" Uncle Sara. It would be only a step farther to let by contract to those rporatiom the services of the regulnr troop*.

PROHIBITIONISTS are nothing if not unique, in their etlorts to put their theories into practice. In Haverhill, Mass., recently they were beaten in a local election whore license or no license was the issue The saloonkeepers won, and now the Prohibitionists have gone into the liquor business. They are selling whiskey at five cents a glass, and beer for two cents, and boldly declare they are going to drive the other whiskey sellers out of business. They claim that the end justifies the means, and the salooukeepers will have to go. An exchange suggests that esf-ablishlug prohibition by stioh methods Is like breaking up anarchy by reducing the price of dynamite. _________________

TKK Indianapolis News has proposed that the people of the state raise a fund for the purchase of a present for the new battleship, Indiana The present is to be either a solid silver service or a library. It is well that Indiana should take this interest in one of Uncle Sam's naval vessels. There is no greater mistake than that the west is not in touch with the navy. Though many thousand* of westerners have never seen the ocean the truth is that western men rank *»en with, if not ahead of, those from »uy other section In the records of the navy. This Is a fact thatacareful investigation of the records of the navy department brought to the surface. When Colonel Thompson was secretary of the navy he sought to further demonstrate the fitness of western manhood for seafaring duty by entering western boys in the service._

THK gold balance in the treasury has dropped to 150,000,OOOj or half the amount which custom has required since January 1st, 1879, should be there. When the Sherman redemption sot went Into effect on that date there had been accumulated $100,000,000 ot gold to redeem whatever greenbacks should be presented, It was not much more than onefourth the amount of f*P*r money for which gold could b« demanded under the redemption act but more than was made use of for that purpose, The peop?edid not want the gold they had confidence, which made the greenback, which mm «oor« convenient than gold, equally good as the yellow oolu. Th# outgo ha* been unusually heavy in th« past few months. Ordinarily the reduced bal*oc* In the treasury might be exported to create panle snd pot gold at a premium, hut the truth is the country ha* gone through *uet» a

HSiiSi

protracted duration of hard times that a panic is an impossibility. There is the paradoxical condition that while everyone has about lost all confidence, all are standing together with confidence in one another. Were it not for the fact iat business men and bankers gave extension of credit—a renewal of, confidence, so to speak—there would be a panic and closing of doors of mercantile and industrial institutions. It is much the same sort of an extension of credit which the people give to Uncle Sam on his green promises to pay.

IN response to a toast at a banquet in London United States minister Bayard said: "It is impossible to make men equal because God has put the stamp of equality on them but try to give every man a fair chanco, a lair field and no favor. This is good Eoglish and good American." Mr. Bayard is mistaken about it being good American unless he believes the Declaration of Independence to be "bad" American. The first sentence of tbe Declaration is: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights", etc. Men like Bayard who believe in an aristocracy and whose efforts are all in the direction of securing recognition for that aristocracy, are bringing on this demand for socialism. The demand is but the resisting sentiment of the masses. It is their protest and that it takes on an angry phase which leads timorous people to talk of anarchy is not surprising.

THE action of Chicago and St. Louis business men in sending a petition to congress asking that body to pass a tariff bill and go home, is a good example for business men everywhere. The wrangle over the schedules of the bill has proceeded to the extremity that the people do not care what the rate of duty may be if it be made quickly, that they may adjust their affairs accordingly. The greatest fault with Washington lawmakers is that they do not appreciate the anxiety of the people to be let alone and given a chance to promote their enterprises. The Washington lawmaker, especially the senator, is a luxurious individual whose habits of life are of such elegant leisure that his habits of thought become leisurely as well. It would be a good thing for the people were there established in Washington a half dozen or more big manufactories. The Congressman who dines at 7 p. m., retires at 1. a. m., arises at 10 a. m. and begins his day's duties at 12 m., would be made abetter legislator if he could see a few more smokestacks without the smoke. In Washington he is as far removed from ocular demonstration of paralyzed industry In this country, and as little aware of the stringency in money affairs, as if he were a winner at Monte Carlo.

WITH the aristocratic notions entertained by the officers in our regular army it seems hardly possible that any of them would permit their sons to become Common enlisted men. Yet when the army board detailed to meet this fall to examine non-commissioned offloers for promotion to commissions, it will find that one third of those called for examination are officers' sons. The ranks of the army have for years served as a wedge with which commissions in the line have been forced by sons of army officers, who have failed to secure vacancies at West Point, or who are else too old to enter the academy. The usual formula followed to leaoh a lieutenancy through the ranks by young men in good positions is to enlist in some desirable regiment where there are officers who will look to the advancement of the aspirants. In the course of a year the private becomes a non-commissioned officer, and at the end of two years he is ready for a commission. Meanwhile, the enlisted men who are just as good soldiers, with greater experience, continue to plod along because they lack political "pull." A man who is long on knowledge and experience, but shprt on "pull" hasn't muoh use to seek promotion in the regular army.

THK New Yorkers are golng^ to have their new constitution, which is In the hands of the builders, provide a penalty for auy person elected or appointed to any position in the service of tbe public to ask or receive for himsolf or any other person free transportation. The discussion of the subjeot brought out a letter from Second Vice President Brooks, of tbe Pennsylvania system, which throws some light on an abuse that has grown to wonderful magnitude. He says that there was a time when public officials were content to receive occasionally a trip pass for themselves. They have learned to ask for passes for themselves, for members of their families and for political adherents and others. They not only ask for passes good over lines which are controlled by the officers to whom they apply, but they ask for passes over connecting lines to distant and remote parts of the country, good at all seasons of the year. They not only ask for trip passes for themselves and friends, but they ask for annual passes for themselves and friends, and no matter how many passes may be granted to a single individual, if a single request be refused, the enmity of that official Is aroused and his vengeance exercised if be has an opportunity to do so. Be says he ban known a member of the Supreme court of the United States to apply for free transportation, the money value of which in a single instance was bstwesn fSQG and 1300. Governors of States, United States Senators, members of the House ot Representative#, members of every department of the state government, from tbe governor to the Janitor, ask and expect to receive these favor*. There la one state in tbe American Union whose constitution contains njfcf

a provision prohibiting persons iMiSSi j|l|jlj

service of that state from receiving passes, yet he says that tbe law is a dead letter in the state where it exists, and members of all departments of state, ineluding therein all members oi the Supreme court and of inferior courts, receive and expect, and even ask for passes. When one once gets a taste of free railroad transportation it acts on him like a free show ticket—it creates an appetite for which no remedy has yet been discovered. Mr Brooks evidently hasn't much use for fc$ie deadhead traveler, and If he could have his own way about it^ public officials would pay their fare, or walk. ,,

THE decree by Mgr. Satolli, the papal representative in this country, in regard to the treatment that shall be accorded by the Catholic church and Catholic societies to men who are engaged in the traffic in intoxicating liquor, is causing a sensation in the Catholic churoh mem bership. Archbishop Corrigan, of New York, had said that he would enforce the decree, whereupon the Wine and Spirit Gazette dared him to do so. The organ of the liquor traffic said that twothirds of the retail liquor dealers In the cities are Roman Catholics, and that as they are large contributors to the church it was not likely that the decree would be enforced. The Gazette went farther, and said: "We voice the sentiments of a large majority of the liquor dealers of New York City and Brooklyn when we say, 'We dare Archbishop Corrigan to enforce in letter ana spirit the decree.'" The Gazette concluded with the admonition: "Let the archbishop do it and watch the consequences." Archbishop Corrigan, who has shown heretofore that he has some of the fighting spirit despite his high place In the church, replies to the Gazette as follows: "In reply to your expressed wish I have the honor to say that I loyally accept the principles laid down by Mgr. Satolli, both in the spirit and to the letter. More than this, no Catholic can refuse to accept them. As to the fear of consequences I have yet, thank God, tp learn what fear is in the discharge of my duty. Please remember, however, that acceptance of principles is not to be confounded with the blind application of the same on all occasions and under all circumstances."

The first part of the letter would seem to leave no doubt that the archbishop would assert no discretionary authority in enforcing tbe decree, but the concluding sentence raises a doubt as to when the enforcement may begin and as to just how thorough it will be.

THE LESSON OF THE STRIKE. The editorial writers and the labor leaders are beginning to analyze what Mr. Debs has named, "The Great Strike." From the varying opinions it is plain that thosj who are disoussing the strike do not agree as to the nature of. the lesson it teaches. Perhaps it is too soon for the true lesson to be' Understood. Mr. Debs himself Is evidently of chat opinion, btcause he said in his opera house speech, Sunday night, that the time was yet to come when the A. R. U. would be vindicated by public opinion. Mr. Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor, thinks he sees wherein workmen have already gained many advantages by the strike, in the way of concessions by employers in mere than one thousand instances. These concessions were made, Mr. Gompers said, because the employers feared the strike might be extended. In other words, the general strike which he was asked to sanotion, to help the A. R. U., was used as a means of benefiting the wage earner in one thousand instances. Mr. Gompers further says that the strike has given a great impetus to organized labor. As to this last statement the usual effect of a strike must be reversed to permit the assertion to be true. It has been many times proved that a strike makes "scabs" to take the places of strikers in the next strike. The big strike on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road threw engineers and firemen into idleness, and consequently forced them to drop their tnimbeiship In the brotherhoods. Since thn every time there has been a railroad stiike tbose engineers and firemen have |ome forward to work as "scabs." The [number who were thrown into idleness ly that strike Is not a tenth of those who| temporarily at least, will be idle as a reiull of taking part in the Pullman b$roott strike. Time alone is to tell th4 story of the effect on organized iaborj We are inclined to believe that It A be a story of more conservative organization. We also believe that there wlltbe more conservatism on the part of tfta employers. These struggles are necessarily mimic revolutions and as such park the forward movement of civilisation. As we get farther away from thsPullman boycott strike we believe itfwill be better recognized that though fhere had been ne A. R. U. and no Pullian the conditions in the country werf such that the mimic revolution wo place. The Pullman ply the inviting pre which attracted the ele it the storm center
