TERRE HAUTE, IND., AUG. 18,1894.

THERE'S surely something wrong, neither Senator Butler or Governor 1 illman has called each other a liar for a whole week.

THANK goodneBB the Chino-Japanese war is so far away aa to be practically out of the reach of the modern war correspondents.

THE commission appointed by the president is now holding an inquest on the body of the late Pullman strike. The verdict will probably be that death resulted from an overdose of violence.

THE National Colored Democratic League held its annual meeting at Indianapolis this week. One of its peculiar characteristics was that nearly all of the offioers and many of the delegates aro holding office at the hands of the Democratic administration.

THE "perfidy and dishonor" which President Cleveland has publicly declared attaches to the senate tariff bill, may prevent him from signing but will not cause him to veto the bill. Yet we hear a great deal from his idolators of his wonderful backbone, and bis disposition to do what he believes to be right, regardless of all consequences.

His Honor, Mayor Pingree, of Detroit, who monopolized a great deal of newspaper space during the Pullman strike, and who got real angry beoause the Republicans wouldn't nominate him for Governor, has reconsidered his determination of running as an independent candidate. A iittle^uccess in municipal politics swelled his head uutll he imagined he had brains enough to cover all Mlohlgaa, and it hurt his feelings to realize that everybody didn't agree with him. His last announcement, however, shows that Mr. Pingree Isn't such a fool as his talk would Indicate. This is going to be a hard year for Independent candidates.

ONK of the largest advertisers in the country, as well as one of the shrewdest, Is ex-Postmaster General John Wana maker, who has built up a business in Philadelphia that has furnished a model for imitators all over the oouniry. Writing reoently about advertising, he said: "I do my heaviest advertising In dull times. Then is when people loon most keenly for bargains, are anxious to know how muoh things cost, and where they can save money. I advertise particular things, give prices, and take as muoh pains with my announcements as I do with my stock. Advertising is like keeping a hotel. One big dlnntr won't keep the reputation of the house—steady good cooking does it. I never permit interest In my annoruoements to lag, and never miss an Issue in my chosen publications. Advertising has made my store one of the largest in the country.

TAI.K about the wonderful progress made by our nation, it Is nothing compared to that made by one Industry, suffar. Just one hundred years ago, 171H, the first attempt to produce granulated sugar from sugar cane was made in Louisiana. Last year 312,000 tons of sugar were produced in that State, onesixth only of the amount cousumed in this country alone. This year sugar is King. It controls all tariff Ipglslation attempted by Congress, and has grown eo strong that, as Chairman Wilson has said, the trust controlling the output nays that no tariff bill can pass unless its Interests are adequately guarded—that is, according to Its own plans. An advauco of that kind in one hundred years is somethlt wonderful, and it is not surprising that statesmen are kept up of nights thinking about It and the striking advantages of owning sugar certificates. Time was, in the South, when cotton was King, but its reign is ended nnd sugar is now supreme.

THK house has surrendered ignomini* ously to the senate, and the letter's bill in its entirety was passed by the house this week and is now with the preehjeot •waiting his action. He went to Gray Gables yesterday for a week's rest, taking with him the tariff and river and harbor bills, and it Is supposed will return them with a message. The action of the house in passing the bill which has been universally condemned bv the radical free traders as only a slight remove from the Me Kin ley act, was something of a surprise, especially as there has been much talk of corruption in making up the sugar schedule. It was certain, however, that It was the nate bill or nothing, and from a political stand point the haute Dm*erats evidently bettered that anything was better than nothing. As if to apologise for the action in endorsing the senate measure, the house at ouce passed bill* planing «ug*r, Iron, coal and barbed wire on the free list, end the bills are now in the hands of the senate finance oomnaUee,

Their fate there Is easy to tell, for the same syndicate of senators that insisted on haying a duty placed on all these articles will certainly see to it that their work is not undone. The bill that was passed is not what the Democrat plat form called for, it is not what the people wanted if they were sincere when they voted for a change, and it is a poor excuse to offer that it was the best that could be dorse. The Democratic orators and newspapers are thus placed on the defensive in the coming campaign and campaign that Is conducted solely on defensive plan, in a majority of cases, a losing one. It is certain that no harsher language can be indulged in by their opponents than the Democratic news papers are nsing in condemning a law passed as the result of a campaign con dacted on the theory, declared In the platform, that "the government has no constitutional power to impose and col lect tariff duties except for the purposes of revenue only.

IF there is any fool on earth that is a little bit worse than all others of his species, it is a fool policeman. He can do less when his duty demands good ser vice and more when it doesn't than any of his class. Over In West Indianapolis last Sunday night the police broke up a Populist meeting, and arrested several of their leaders, for "indulging in their usual avocation on Sunday," practically for desecrating the Sabbath. On the way to the police station, the offioers led their prisoners past saloons in full and active operation, and yet no effort was made to arrest the keepers. This is justice with a vengeance, and shows to what extremities a little brief authority will lead men who are short on horse sense. Of course the arrested men were discharged, and that on the prosecuting attorney's motion, and the Populists are using the arrest for ail It is worth to help along their political campaign. About all the campaign thunder possessed by the Populists has been furnished by the fool politicians of the old parties.

INDIANA is endeavoring to Becure for Indianapolis the next meeting, in 1896, of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and the accompanying encamp ment of the Uniform Rank, which exoels in discipline, drill and numbers all other secret society semi-military organizations. A speoial effort was being made to have a large attendance of Hooslers at Washington this month, to Impress the Supreme Lodge, which meets there, with the idea that Indiana wants the meeting, but the railroads have refused to meet former rates to that point, and the attendance will be small. The railroads have already guaranteed that if Indianapolis gets the meeting the rates will not exceed one oent a mile, but the same roads refuse to make a cent a mile rate to Washington in order to take a large orowd of Indlanisns there to work for the next meeting. When it comes to consistency the railroads are about like the Democratic statesman who yawps about the iniquitous sugar trust and then votes to perpetuate its power.

THE Democrats met at Indianapolis on Wednesday and nominated the following state ticket:

Judge Supreme court, first dlstriot— Geo. F. Relnhart, of Spencer county. Judge Supreme oourt, fourth district— Jos. S. Daily, Wells county.

Seoretary of State—Wm. R. Myers, renominated. Auditor of State—Jos. T. Fanning, Marion.

Treasurer of State—Morgan Chandler, Banoook county. Attorney General—Francis M. Griffith, Switzerland.

Clerk of Supreme court—C. W. Welman, Sullivan oounty. Superintendent Public Instruction— Charles Thomas.

State Statistician—Alexander Fulton. The platform adopted is quite lengthy, and has a sting in it on account of its denunciation of a few "pretended Democrats" for their oonduct in opposing the Wilson bill, but while they condemned. Brice, Gorman and Smith, there were words of praise for Senators Voorhees and Tnrpie.

THE attorney general of Illinois, has brought proceedings against the Pullman company, with the intention of forfeiting the charter, and whether or not the suit is successful, the Pullman company will be subjected to trouble and expense In fighting the suit. This proceedIngserves to emphasize the fact that while the Pullman strike is "off," as far as the employes are concerned, it is not off with the public on whose patronage the corporation has grown rich. The public believes that Pullman has been guilty of the exactions charged against him, and many individuals who would grow indignant were they called "boyoottere" or "strikers" will quietly but effectually refuse to patronize. This feeling against Pullman Is Intense, and it will be a long time before It dies out, if ever. The announcement from the "model town" to the effect that the starving strikers, with their hungry wives and babies are to be thrown Into the street, does not serve to lessen the feeling against the autocratic landlord, whose agents will evict while he lolls in luxurious ease In his princely palace on the St. Lawrence. He has the proper make up for a slave driver, and that Is about what he amounts to.

A MATRIMONIAL COtfSPIRACY^

Several Matchmaking Bosslan ftothen D*.

teetedlnsDbfnMft1MMnM

Father John Sergieff of Groostadt is probably the most universally popular priest in the Russian Orthodox church. His prayers and benedictions are besought by the grievously sick and unfortunate in nearly every government of European Russia, by letter and by telegraph, so implicit is the publib confidence reposed in his piety and wisdom. Father John himself is a man pf,simple life, making no pretensions witarovSr to extraordinary sandaty, of modest habits and lavish to the last ruble of his considerable income in relieving the neces si tons, making no distinction oT creed or race.

SSI

Not a little indignation has therefore been raised by the discovery in the government of Orel that the good father's reputation has for some time past been wickedly traded upon by a number of designing mammas who have unmarried and dower less daughters to dispose of. These solicitous matrons, sometimes acting in concert, but in different localities, have fabricated letters of advice, purporting to be written by the worthy priest of Cronstadt, recommending particular matrimonial alliances between their daaghters and certain pious young bachelor neighbors as being divinely ordained.

These spurious letters proved successful baits in very many instances, but eventually the maternal conspiracy was detected, and it is now probable that the more guilty of the intriguing mothers and matchmaking spinsters of Orel will have to do penance for their indiscretions in a conventual retreat before Father John's absolution is granted and the civil authorities are satisfied. —Odessa Cor. London News.

UNCLE SAM'S NEW LIBRARY.

The MTost Perfect Structure of Its Kind In the World.

No such library as this new one of Uncle Sam's was ever planned before. You must imagine, to begin with, two i*on bookcases, each 65 feet high, 115) feet long and 45 feet wide. They tower up through the building story on story in nine tiers. Each bookcase wili hold 800,000 volumes. The metal framework is made gridiron fashion to permit the free passage of the atmosphere, for books need fresh air as muoh as human beings, else they rot. The floors are sheets of iron, and fire could do no damage worth mentioning, for books will not burn. They will only smolder under favorable ciroumstances.

The library has 1,800 windows. Those which admit light to the great book stacks above described are single sheets of fine plate glass. Looking from the interior courtyards, the walls inclosing the book stacks appear to be almost wholly of glasa Thus the title ou the back of every volume may be easily read. The shelves already provided will accommodate 1,500,000 books—twice as many as are now in the library.

The building has been so constructed as to afford space for other stacks, which may be put up at any time, and will, hold 2,700,000 volumes more. A mil-' lion books in addition may be accommodated in the courtyards, and there is room for more besides. The librarian of congress a century hence will not find himself cramped in the least.—Washington Star.

PUNISHED FOR CURIOSITY.

A learned Chinese Doctor Fays Dearly For a Little Innocent Sightseeing.

It is dangerous to gratify curiosity or to violate precedent at the Chinese imperial court. The empress dowager is a great stickler for etiquette. Recently she required the services of Dr. Li Teoh'ang, vice president of the Imperial Academy of Physicians, at Peking, for one of the members of her suit at Eho Park palace. The learned debtor had never been inside these famom palace grounds, and his ouriosity was fire| ,tq see the many curious objects of which he had heard wonderful tales. So he bribed a palace eunuch to show mm around the grounds.

While the two were leisurely walkihg about and enjoying themselves the empress spied them. She at once dispatched servants to punish their effrontery. The eunuch was seized, thrown on his fade and accommodated with 50 tyows with the bamboo on the calves of his fat legs. The doctor was docked three months' pay and received a severe reprimand, while his assistant was ordered never to venture again into the empress' presence.

The affair created a sensation because of the high position of the physician and of the humiliating punishment dealt out to him.—New York Sun.

Sale of the Thousand Islands. The government is rejoicing over the sale of the Thousand islands, which, it appears, are going off cheap for cash. Over 800 have been sold for the paltry sum of |40,000, or, say, #125 each. The Ontario government was not given much time to consider their purchase. The Dominion government has had its own way. The "nigger in this woodpile" is yet to be discovered. Just what motive is behind the determination of the government to sell the islands in spite of publio opinion is not evident Those who remember all the Rykert and other timber land deals, and who look back over the 18 years' record of this most corrupt government, will look for revelations in connection with this matter some day.—Montreal Witness.
