"I ERRE HAUTE. IND., DEC. 29, 1894.

CHICAGO is not to be outdone by New York, even in wickedness, and she is therefore going to have an investigation of her police department.

THE man who can't find it in himself now to swear off from some bad habit and buy an 1895 diary is fitted only for treason, stratagem and spoils.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN, ANY A it was the fall, and not the blow of his opponent, that killed Andy Bowen, the New Orleaus pugilist. *But what does John L. Sulli van know about prize-fighting, now-a days.

A HAPPY NKW YEAR to all The Mall's countless constituents here, in other States and in foreign lands! May the New Year bring them all the peace and prosperity that come to reward honest endeavor and the clear conscience that is the earthly portion,, natuially, of those who read The Mail.

"KID" LAVEQUE, whose blow (Caused the fall that killed pugilist Andy Bowen at New Orleans recently, has been dis charged without punishment. Not much else was to be expected of New Or leans. Evidently the wave of reform that was said to have reached that hotted of municipal and political corruption need* to be a tempest to accomplish any good.

BOUKKE COCKRAI* must not count upon public favor in his quarrel with Boss Croker. The latter did a great deal to advance him in his political careei and when Cockran, disgruntled becaust tie Tammany chief did not send him to the senate, begins talking about CrokerV orookedueas, of which he was always fully aware, he calls attention to his own qngrateful nature and nothing more.

THE report of Pullman's Palace Car (Jo. for the year ending July 31st last, which covered the hard times which Pullman said, necessitated the reduction in wages, if just made public. For the past five years the profits have averaged over $5,000,000 a year. There has accu mutated a net surplus of $26,000,000 and all liabilities except the capital stock of £36,000,000 have been wiped out. The truth is Pullman made an excuse of the hard times to make an additional profit off the wages of the men.

THE Irish land owner, Captain Boycott, who furnished a new word as a result of the treatment given him by his tenants, is likely to have a successor in word furnishing, in the person of Chairman Lexow, of the now famous New Yorkpolice probingoommittee. Nearly every large city in the country is pre paring to have its police department in vestigated, and the chances are that the next revision of modern dictionaries will contain the verb "lexow," meaning to investigate municipal rottenness.

THE Indiana legislature meets one week from next Thursday, but it seems a case of misdirected energy, and a useless waste of money—at least so long as the members of the state senate^ can meet, as they are doing, and decide on everything that is to be done during the next session. Public opinion is a good poultice for a swelling of the head, and properly applied it will no doubt reduce the headb of some of the ne# senators until they can get through the big doors of the senate room without endangering the safety of the state house,

THE butchering of human beings ha^ been revived with increased slaughter. The dally reports call them murders but these periodical epidemics are not to be minimized, so to speak, by so mild a term. The fiendish killing of a lamily, the horrible mutilation of the de«d bodies, and the suicide of tW guilty maniac is a massacre rather than a murder. We do not hear of like tragedies as occurring in European countries. In the periods of their prevalence in this country they areof such frequent occurrence that the telegraphic importance is the presentation of the news features of the paper.

TENNhas done a number of notable things this year besides electfng a Republican Governor. Among others it has produced a reprfsauitative-eleet to •the legislature,'who has just left his home in a remote part of the state, to tramp to Nashville, a distance of S50 miles, expecting to r^u there in time for the opening of t!u legislature. He received a, railroad bat declared that he would not accept the favors of, nor stand in," with any corporation or ring. When it eomee to "seeing" a man who makes such conspicuous parade of bis honesty, bis price will probably be higH—in proportion his display

Whenever you see a man advertise his own honesty and virtues, you oan set it down for a fact, nine times out of ten, that he has a price, and that il is rather steep

MAY PINUHKE, of Detroit, is a victim of popular .misapprehension. He at traded attention by some novel ideas in the treatment of the poor. Then he endeavored to get the mayors of the country together to settle the A. R. U. strike. Since then all manner of peculiar conduet has been attributed to him, with a public mind receptive for anything that could be told. The latest story is that he advised the killing of all the horaee owned by the oity because they would not be used during the winter and it would be ecouoiny to buy new horses in the spring, saving cost of keeping the animals during the winter. The story wag an ingeuiousfabrio. Mayor Pingree did chloroform two decrepit and super annuated horses that could soarcely walk and the killing of them was an act of mercy, but the money saving soheme was never in his mind.

THE railroad employes do not have much hope that the higher court will re verse Judge Woods"1 deoision in the Deba case, but they want it known if the Supreme court will say that Judge Woods is right in bis intei pretation of the Sherman law of 1890. That act was called an anti-trust law and no one discussed it as applicable to a combination of employes who might "restrain trade" by "tieing up" a railroad system. It is a peouliar fact, to say the least, that the courts have sustained objections raised by attorneys of trusts, when it was sought to apply the law to these harmful combinations, until the law had become ac epted as futile. It is a bad propensity to let a team and four through a law when the driver is a capitali8t,and suddenly discover that it afloids a means of punishment of the worklngmaA. Granted that the strikers deserved to be restrained or punished by the courts it is undeniably true that this particular law was oreated to re strain monopolies and trusts and the courts have permitted them toesOape its penalties. •..

Mr. Reed, perhaps for his presidential prospects too commonly known as "Tom Reed," delivered an address in Philadelphia this week on "Wealth." Mr. Reed has. at all times been outspoken in his belief that the country is in no danger from the accumulation of wealth. Indeed, be has received with indifference, if not with a sneer, the taunts of his op ponents in debate that h£ is a "corpora lion" man. He said in hife[address: "We mix up onr individual disgust and our individual envy of those who have what may be called the money sense with the questton of the combined wealth of the nation, which is an entirely different thing." He believes that it is not true that the rich are growing richer apd^the poor poorer but that there is an increase wealth, however badly it may be distributed, of which all the people are getting some benefit. Mr. Reed insists that we must not confuse the question of the accumulation of wealth with the question of its distribution and that while the distribution is not what it should be, and certainly not what it will be, still even under our imperfect system the greatest good which has happened to the world has flowed from it.

THE great Chicago A Alton railroad system is going to have a big boycott on its hands, as a result of Its new rule to employ no man who is given to drink, whether during duty or otherwise. It is said to be common talk that the liquor dealers throughout the country, including the great breweries, will unite upon a boycott of the Chicago A Alton unless the regulations are modified, and will take every pound of their freight off the Alton's lines and as much of their pas senger traffic as possible. The Alton people declare their firm purpose to abide by their determination to give em ployment to none but those who are not drinkers or gamblers, and who do riot keep vile company. They declare their duty to the public and to themselves demands no less. They have given due and fair notice of their purpose and assert that they will carry it out to,th* letter and without meroy.. The differ ent labor .organizations, composed, of railroad employes, have aided $he managers in raising the standing/of railroad men lor sobriety and trior allty, but the step taken in tbU oa^of saying that the company shall beibe Judge of an employe's oonduct when $Dt on duty, Is radical in ttb nature. It tffll be interesting to note whether 4he threats of patrons whose huslness' is considerable, oan force the company.to recede from its position. It will be jnteres ting to know, too, whether those who are opposed to the liquor traffic on prinoiple, and are continually flgftt-, ing it, will see the opportuhlty offered them of pradtioally demonstrating their sympathy for temperance reformers by pftttontaing especially the road that has started this novel ornsade.

THE ATROCITIES IN THE SOUTH* The bitter crltiolsma of the English press on the Georgia atrocities—for such they are in fact—are not to be received with surprise. While the Southern people may be hurt by the apparent desertion of their long time allies, the people who upheld them in their attempt to cling to the institution of slavery, yet they must face the issue of humane treatment of the colored race. The truth is that the Georgia butcheries are no worse than many that preceded them in the south. The nnusual importance given to the Brooks county "race war" is simply due to the fact that, coming aa it did, when our government is asking the "unspeakable Turk" for permission to send a representative to Armenia to report oa the atrocities there, English­

men and all others having a perspective view of the situation, are moved to make tUch comments as those which have coine to us this week by the cable. Perhaps one of the good results of the international notoriety will bean awakening of the American conscience to the neces sity of preventing these slaughters of human beings. Expressions of disapproval had almost been silenced the retort that such expressions wefe "wav ing the bloody shire" aud renewing sec tional animosities when the country was being reunited in patriotism

It will not do to dignify these whole sale murders by calling them "race wars." The mortality lists disprove the assertion that the "oolored people rjse in revolt against the law." The dead are nearly all black men and If we in the north should get a full and unbiased narrative of the affairs from beginning to end we would know that the half IN never told of the barbarities practiced b.v the white people. No one deuies that the Southern people are sorely tried in a new life association with the race so recently in slavery but in the evolution ary prooess humane treatment will not only be the best polioy but the only one an enlightened civilization will tolerate.

Two Effective but Simple Designs of the Real Old Time Order—Directions'FoFinishing Off Lining and Quilting TjheAe

Tho old fashioned patchwork oan never becgine entirely obsolete while there are in the majority of households li'ttlq flngers just learning to hold the needle or failing eyes that require some simple occupation or pastime. The result of the hours pleasantly spent bver., tho bright oolored fragments ia'al-^ftys acceptable to the good house mother, for theso pieced quilts are light, warm, durable and easily cleansed.

Of late mOhths everything which oould'be recogniafefl as old fashioned is the new fashion, and this is as truly the case in needlework as in sleeves, or furniture. The_ decree has gone fp$hv that a revival of patchwork quilts is(,at hand, and dainty flngeirs whose owners have known only patches and patohiwork from family description are busy placfag the blocks together in new and artistio patterns as well as in the peal old time order. "With an effort to aid prospective quiltmakers in avoiding the rook of ugliness and the whirlpool of intricacy a writer for The Ladies' Home Journal gives Illustrated descriptions of a number' of pleasing designs, among which are the

RED AND WHI7E QUILT.

following: A quilt of red and white is made of turkey red and white cottqn. The center square is 10 inohes. The surrounding strip is 2 inohes wide. It is perhaps the most easily made and effective pattern that can be given, ,s!Ijhe quilt is made oblong by adding a stajip at top and bottom and oan be made larger or smaller by altering the size of the center square. Great oare must jof course be taken that all the patches are cut evenly and well.

A. very simple and at the same time effective pattern is one that has been known as the album quilt unfortunately, whioh may prejudice some against the neat little squares that look so pretty either in blue and white or pink and wh(ta ,|,7' V^'iT,

Having made the patoh ,?ork of the desired dimensions comes the finishing of the qnilt. This is done by taoking two layers of wadding on the inner side. Then- make a lining of soft white oqtton exactly the same size,and baste jit very carefully upon the wadded catcnwork. Be lavish with yottf basting thread, running it? around th^r-e^Q" diagonally .from oorner to corner anfl across again, after the fashion o^- the ^tmiao ia^^ ^ive jlt tomelines' Until TOB patohtffafc 4nd linirig are -Biaoothly and firmly fastened together and ready for the final prooepa of quilting.

The old fashioned qtiilting bars, into whioh the work is now teady to be fastened, insure the most perfect results. The-lines that rire to be followed with alight running stitoh are marked with oolored chalk in diamonds or squares of any angle or size preferred. A quilt-

THE ALBUM QUILT,

ing bee is the merriest and quickest way of finishing the quilt after all these preliminary preparations have been made. If the quilting bars and the bee are not attainable, the work may be spread upon a bed, and with a little ex-

tra caro and trouble may be quilted in that way. Tho worst way of all is to nse the sewing machine for tho purpose, and the best is to find some skillful, old fashioned sewing woman who will take your dainty, bright patchwork, line it, qnilt it in delicate, flue traoery and bind it for a moderate sum. A well made qtiiltwill last in constant use for many years and enn be renovated by recovering when worn or faded.

%Jokcd Stnffted Ham.

Tpliis is a recipe from Good Housekeeping Wash tho ham well, put in a pot of hot water and let it boil three hours. When nearly cold, take off the skin, mako a rich dressing of one loal of baker's broad, 8 large onions chopped fine, a largo tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of celery soed, a teaspoonful of ground sage, a teaspoonful of thyme, a plentiful supply of pepper and salt to taste. Make deep incisions in the bam and fill them with the dressing in such away that when cut each slico may have some of tho dressing in it Beat 2 eggs woll, mix with cracker crumbs and spread over the top, then sprinkle over that a little brown sugar. Bake slowly for 2*4 8 hours, basting frequently with the juice that runs from the ham,

Green Gooseberry Pie.

Remove the blossoms a»d stems for a pint of green gooseberries and stew slowly In a porcelain kettlo with a very little water until they break. Sweeten to taste and bako between two crusts. Half a cup of seedless raisins with a pint of gooseberries gives a delightful flavor.
