TERRE HAUTE, IND., AUG. 25,1894.
WE have beard a great deal about how the wheelsof industry would hum when the new tariff bill was passed. The bill has passed, now let 'em ham!
UP to date the testimony elicited by the commission investigating the Pullman strike does not justify tfce writing down of George M. Pullman as a lover of his fellow man.
EVERY day additional mistakes are being discovered in the new tariff bill, tending to complicate its conditions. Indeed, the drift of Democratic comment is that the bill itself is a huge mistake.
THK State Geologist, Gorby, who Is noted for the frequency and virulence of his alcoholic attacks, has been down in South Carolina buying a tract of land said to be rich in gold. He is probably intending to start a gold cure for his own exclusive use.
A MISSOURI woman has given birth to four children—at one sitting. This puts an end authoritatively to the report that the Republicans were going to carry Missouri this fall—for when they come four In a hill In poor old Missouri they're sure to be Democrats.
Now that Madeline Pollard is going on the stage, why doesn't her enterprising manager secure Colonel Breckenridge to star with her. The colonel played one star engagement with her, and would doubtless be willing to play Romeo to her Juliet if there was money in it.
THE Louisiana sugar planters are going to flight for the sugar bounty, repealed by the nw tariff bill, on the ground that Congress had no legal right to repeal the bounty after it was partially earned. A big purse will be raised among the planters to defray the expenses of this test, and the best legal talentin the nation will be employed. The only hitch is in tho fact that the oonsent of Congress must be seoured before the government oan be sued. Jt does not set well with tho Democrats down there to have a Democratic congress do away with the bounty after the Republicans bad granted It to them.
THK end of the world has beeh predicted again, this time by the international Religious Liberty association, which hold* forth In Kansas City, and has recontly issued a pamphlet bearing the title, "What do these things mean?" It attempts to prove that the end of the world Is at hand and the wonderful things told In the Book of Revelations are about to come to pass. The recent railroad strike la declared to be the last sign of prophecy. This last sign, it declares, is distress with perplexity. Nations have been perplexed before, and likewise have been distressed, but this Is the first time, It is asserted, that both calamities have come at onee.
THKUK is a possibility that Oklahoma will be a nejfro state when It is admitted to the Union. It is estimated that there are over 06,000 negroes in that territory now, whoso total property holdings are estimated to be nearly seven million dollars Most of tho Afro-Americans in Oklahoma went there from the Southern states, Tennessee furnishing a very large numbor, and these are constantly drawing others after them, as is natural and usual in such cases, so it is possible that when the Territory is admitted to the Union it will have an Afro-American population of sotae 100,000, a larger negro population than any other state In the Union outside of the Southern states.
NKW MKXICO is going to come into the Union with considerable eclat. For some time gold prospecting has been going on there, and a mining expert, *fter a cAretul examination, has reported that thero to enough gold or® in sight to pay the national debt ten times over, while the deeper the miners go the richer grows the prospect. If all the report* am true the discovery will prove to be the greatest the world has ever seen, and we may expect to see the gold rush of '49 repeated. Those westerners are up to all the tricks, however* and it
KiAy
be that this gold erase is started to increase the population, in the belief that once the people get there they can't getaway.
MR. KOHLSAAT, the Chicago baker who mad* such a good paper out of the Cblettgo Inter-Ocean, and who is «aid to have let the first coupon scheme loose on a suffering pabllo, has purchased the muKWump New York Ttmw, and ia go inff to turn It into a Republic paper, and a McKlniey organ. Mr, Kohlaaat one of the treats* who succeeded in setting Governor McKlnley out of his ^financial difficulties, and la Id to have very atrong leanings toward that apoetfe of protection as a prudential
'-SiSfiilSli
possibility. Indeed it is said that the recent sale of the Initer-Ooean was brought aborat by a coterie of warm friends of ex-President Harrison, who disliked to see the leading Republican paper of Illinois advocating McKlnley against Harrison. Running a bakery is not popularly supposed to develop managerial ability for a newspaper, but Mr. Kohlsaatt made a stir in Chicago newspaper olrclef, and he may be able to cause a sensatlen in New York. The Times, which be is said to have purchased for $250,000, was sold two years ago for 11,000,000 such a depreciation in value Is evidence that running a mugwump newspaper in Tammanyville is neither pleasant or profitable.
NERO displayed no more indifference over the burning of Rome than George M. Pullman displays over the starving of bis former employes while living in his bouses. The meanest skinflint of a landlord In the world would hardly permit his tenants, from whom he bad collected large rents for years, to starve as these Pullman strikers are starving. Their strike may have been ill-advised, but the'strikers are human, and should be treat&d with humanity. George M. Pullman, by his actions since the Btrike, has shown himself to be the meanest, most contemptible figure of the times, and his muph -heralded gifts to charitable and benevolent purposes can never atone for his heartless conduct.
THERE are tricks in every trade, of course, but about the smoothest trick in the political trade Is that adopted by Congressman Dockery,of Missouri, who is a candidate for re-nomination and reelection. It is not denied by anybody that the sugar schedule of the new tariff bill will advance the price of sugar to every individual consumer. When the McKlnley bill took effect in 1890 there is no question but that the advertisements that such and such goods would advance in price when the law became operative stirred up the women folks—who are the buyers of the nation—and they by their opposition to the law induced the voters to cast tbeir ballots against the party that was supposed to have caused the advance in prices threatened by the merchants. The stobeme advocated by Dookery is to raise a fund to place in the hands of every Democratic grocery keeper in his distriot, and when the rise in prices takes effect the increase will be taken from the fund, and the individual consumer will know nothing of It. If any of the Republican grocery keepers in his distriot attempt to put the advanced price on sugar they will be charged with doing it simply for political effect. This is about the smartest trick yet attempted in the political line, and its boldness will ensure the success of the man attempting it.
IT was thought the railroads, assisted indireotly by the press, had rendered the word "boycott" unpopular, as a result of the recent strike, but it seems that the railroads have determined to render it still more unpopular. The testimony is general that the big railroad corporations, including those in the hands of the United States courts, are making an united effort to drive out of existence the ni8n who took part in the recent strike. They have-been hounded from place to place, in the effort to punish them, and there seems to be no doubt but that the railroad managers are going to starve them to death if possible. We hear much of the tyranny and exaotions of labor organizations, but the records fail to show anything more monstrous than this, and if there is any law or justice in the land it should be invoked to punish the management or officers of any corporation that will conspire to starve men to death in this manner. It may not be a conspiracy against the inter state commerce law,, but it is conspiracy against all that is right and humane and just In life. Up in Minnesota, a number of ex-employes of the railroads "are making arrangements to leave this country, claiming they have been placed on the blacklist of all the railroads and can secure no places, no matter whether there are vacancies or not. About forty of these have made preliminary arrangements to go to the Cape of Good Hope and Johannesburg, South Africa, and others are talking quite seriously of going to Brazil." Affairs have come to a pretty pass, Indeed, In this "land of the free and home of the brave," when honest men are driven from our shores to seek employment in foreign lands, because, misguided though they may have been, they could not agree with corporation lawyers and corporation judges as to whether or not they had the right to quit work at their pleasure. Our courts have decided that labor organizations have no right to boycott or blacklist.
Will it be possible for them to declare that railroad corporations have not that right? If they cannot, then President Debs' epigramatlc remark before the Chicago commission gathers more force: "Government ownership of railroads Is to be preferred to railroad ownership of government."

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, AUGUST 25,1894.
OFJF WITH THE OLD.•
The New City Treasurer Chas. lUlch, wll succeed Wes. Haack, 8*pt.3,—OOla Changes.
Wesley W. Hauck, who cafl filled the office of City Treasurer for four years, will retire next Monday week, September 3d, and will be succeeded by Charles Balch. Terre Haute never had a mora efficient, or more popular official th&b "Wes" Hauck, and he retires to private life with the universal esteem and well wishes of every citizen of this city, regardless of politics. Genial, clever and accommodating to the highest degree, and generous to a fault, he is a shining example of a man who has taken an active part in politics, and held political office without being contaminated by the evil influences that are supposed to lurk thereabouts. He has managed the treasurer'a office as he would have mansged his own private business, in a safe, conservative manner, feeling that he was but the servant of the people who had employed him. Public office with him was not a "private snap," but a public trust, and be fulfilled his trust in such a manner as to gain public confidence. Should he ever be called upon again to engage in a contest for the sufi'rages of the people he will realize the hold he has upon the good people of the city of Terre Haute.
He will be succeeded by a worthy man in the person of Chas. Balch, his present depuiy, whose experience in the office, and whose integrity is a guarantee that the duties of the office will receive the same careful consideration shown by Mr. Hauck.
Charles H. Goodwin, otherwise known as "Pasty," will be succeeded in the City Clerk's offic September 3d, by a gentleman who developed a popularity with the people of Terre Haute, never before possessed by any candidate for political office. Nothing like.hls majority was ever beford known in looal politics, and it is unquestioned evidence of his genial ways, pleasant manners and qualifications for office. It is spply necessary to say that Charles H. Goodwin's successor will be Charles H. Goodwin.
Fred A. Ross, who has made one of the best Mayors the city ever had, will succeed himself on the same day, September 3d. He has been safe and conservative, and has looked after the city's interests as they should be looked after, without fear and without favor
ABOUT WOMEN.
Chicago has a broker's office conducted by a woman for the benefit of women speculators.
In Russia no one can marry who is over 80 years of age and nobody can nlferry more than three times.
People think It is tough whe% they have to pay 86 or 40 cents per poutftf |or steak, but it is a great deal tougher when they pay only 15. I
In Europe, it is estimated there are 000,000 women employed in publio work. They are used chiefly in banks, telegraph and telephone offices, postoffices and on the railroads atstations as agents and clerks.
The fellow who wrote the following for the N. Y. Herald must have been lately imported: "Ex-President William H. Harrison spent Sunday in his own cottage at Monmouth Beach, which he has taken for the month of August."
Madame Janausohek does not like the idea of Madeline Pollard going on the stage. "Notoriety," she exclaimed, "no matter how infamously gained, is now the key to success! A woman shooks a community by a gross, immoral life and forthwith some speculator thrusts her forward as aD actress. Let her be the heroine of a divorce suit and she flickers as a star! And, though she may be ignorant of ail that pertains to the actor's art, she is written up as a monumental genius her intrigues her pets the diamonds with which she bedizens her person and the crowd pays to see her—wabble about the stage."
Almost every steamer is bringing over some prince or oonnt or other titled personage to this country, so that there are more of them at fashionable watering places than you can shake a stick at. The latest is Prlnoe Ruspoli, who is to make a tour of the United States.
Newspapers in Russia were forbidden some time ago to make any reference to the dresses worn by the Empress on state occasions. This watf done because one paper by mistake reported her as wearing a dress which at that time, was oompletely out of fashion

MIDSUMMER DON'TS.
Don't spend more than ten hours a day talking about the tariff. Don't believe the country is on its last legs simply because you are out of a situation.
Drm't oat meat three times a day in such weather as this. Don't fail to learn, if you don't know, the difference between a tonic and a stimulant.
Don't regret that you are not In Congress. Don't fail to look at the Collett park benches if you feel that you are being overworked.
Don't forget that no man was over paid a salary for worry. Don't watch the thermometer too closely. Such a practice at this season multiplies the heated terms.
