UNION
TERRE HAUTE, IND., JAN. 18,1885.
FROM the present business outlook the income tax law will convert more money into the national treasury than it could have done in 1884.
THE election of a Republican senator in Illinois has set the Republican news papers of Chicago to quarreling as if their very existence depended on the success of their respective candidates.
JOB MULHATTOIS has appeared in San Francisco and had the fact telegraphed over the country. There is a suspicion that he is resorting to the rogue's defense of an alibi by trying to prove that he did not send the kidnapping story from Thornton.
A MILK trust 'has been iu successful operation Chicago for two years. We have heard the extravagant expression to dam the ocean but never believed it possible but if a combine can be made to control the milk supply the ocean can be damned.
INDIANAPOLIS had colored snow when it fell, perhaps, but Terre Haute in the long run can produce snow of a darker hue. We are ready to challenge any city in the country for blackness of the "beautiful" after twenty-four hours ex posure to our smok«-laden atmosphere.
THE newspapers which predicted after Hill was defeated for governor that he would not be heard frvjm this session of congress did not uuderstaud the man. Nor will it do to say that he will fritter away his prestige by too much talking. Hill is to be a big quantity in national politics for some time to come.
CHICAGO is becoming truly cosmopolitan. This week in one of the courts there a chicken was killed and a Chinaman, a witness, took his oath in the chioken's blood, in accordance with the custom in his native land. The same day one of the belles of the city was married to an Armenian bearing the romantic name of Costikyan, the result of an attachment formed at the world's fair.
ANOTHER Ohio man has come to the front in the person of Thomas H. Garter, who has just been elected as a senator from Montana. Mr. Carter is chiefly known to fame as the man who didn't lead the Republicans to victory in 1892, when he was chairman of the National Republican committee. This is the re ward he receives for not doing what it was impossible for any other man to have done.
PITTSBURGH is a strong Presbyterian stronghold, but in a rocent contest there to decide the most popular clergymen, six of whom were to receive a free trip to the Holy Land, not a member of that faith
WHS
fortunate enough to be
numbered among the winners of the prizes. Instead, three of the winners were members of the Catholic church, and the one receiving the highest number of votes was a member of that faith. The prizes were offered by,a Pittsburgh paper, and the contest has been in prpgress for months past.
A WAVE of reform seems to have struck Missouri since the Republicans got control of the legislature. A movement is on foot to have that body pass a law making it a misdemeanor for ladies attending theaters to wear hats of size sufficient to obliterate the view of the stage from one or more persons. The bill is being prepared in good faith and its passage is demanded. If that law is put Into effect by the Missouri legisla ture, the Democrats might as well throw up their bands in 1896. We'll have a Republican legislature in every state in the Union.
CHICAGO sent a delegation of men who were considered to have influence with congress to Washington this week to get a new federal building. No one doubts that there is a necessity for the building, but the question is whether or not congress has provided the means of raising enough money to pay the bill. The revenue measures are not bringing into Unole Sam's treasury as much money as estimated. This congress has been proceeding on the short-sighted policy of making political capital by failure to collect enough money from the people to pay the expenses of gov-
WISDOM 6omes in broken doses to some persons, and it seems to have been given in such form to some of the president's friends in the house during the past M-- week. It is said that an effort was to have been made to discipline Mr. Sibley, the Pennsylvania congressman, who in a speech ln the house last

president wfts a compound of brains, belly and brass, but when this faot became known, it was fonn^ »uoh ap attempt woatd lead to a serious fight on the floor of the heuse that would not have reflected any particular credit on the president or his friends, and the effort was neoessarily abandoned. It will be seen before the present congress finishes its work that the president will heed more than the assistance of his Democratic adherents to preserve his credit before the people.
THE Ward McAllister of the Chicago "four hundred," a man named Kitchen, an Indianian, by the way, has issued an edict that hereafter those uufortunates who live west of the Chioago river are to ba considered as beyond the pale of firstclass sooiety. It is a new idea that geographical location has anything to do with the qualifications for entranoe to polite sooiety, but it is likely that some of the west-siders, who are genuinely shoddy, will be selling their west side palaces and moving to the south side, where residence is considered theorowning qualification for mingling with the "four hundred."
DR. CHAUNCEY DEPEW is, no doubt, very happy now that he is in hot water. He has stopped the issuance of half fare passes for preachers and meanwhile the gentlemen of the cloth would not have exposed themselves to the oriticism of flnditog fault because they were deprived of a oharity donation—for such It is, pure and simple. Dr. Chauncey gave them, or at least some of them, opportunity to berate him on another account and ease off the burden of resentment they felt because of the withdrawal of the privilege. The New York Central's president said that there were instances of gross misuse of the oourtesy, not to call it charity, and that the passes had been sold to soalpers. The Methodist ministers' association of New York has called upon him to give the name" the preacher men who had abused the privilege that they might be tried,at the conference of their coadjutors*
NOT being able to have his own way about everything, and escape public criticism for public acts, M. CassimirPerier, the hyphenated president of the French republic, took "his doll rags and went home," by resigning. There is probably a grave crisis on hand in the aQaira of the French people, and efforts will be made—have already been made— to restore a monarchy, but after the prosperity that has already fallen to this nation, it is well enough that In a grave crisis the people are rid of a man who will desert in the time of danger. The people are not very fond of a coward, no matter what position he may be cailed upon to fill, and the developments of the past few days have shown that the late president of the French republic has not the backbone to meet grave trouble and beat it down. A truly courageous man would not have shirked in the face of the present trouble, and the French people can well congratulate themselves that they are done with him.
THE Republicans in the present congress will make a very grave mistake if they allow the matter of politics to enter into the impeachment proceedings that are proposed in the case of Judge Ricks, of Toledo. The evidence in the case thus far offered seems to prove that that of ficial has been guilty of doing things that no honest, upright judge could do, and as the committee report in favor of impeachment proceedings was adopted by a partisan vote, it would seem that an effort is to be made by the Republicans to defeat the movement on political grounds alone. If even one of the many things charged against him be true he is not worthy to wear the ermine, and any effort to whitewash him because he is a Republican or a Democrat or a Populist will be little less than a crime. Every man, no matter what his politics may be, likes to believe that the judiciary is beyond corruption and political prejudice, and a man who Is charged with the crimes laid at the door of Judge Ricks is not deserving of being placed on that high plane until the most searching examination has established the fact that he is innocent. If he is guilty, impeach men proceedings should be sustained, and if he is an innocent man he should court such proceedings in order to establish his innocence. But under no circumstances should he be whitewashed because of bis politics.
OF the many reform movements that seem to have seized on the several state legislatures now in session none are so worthy of commendation as that in New York, where a determined effort is to be made to pass a law in favor of oorporal punishment for certain forms of crime, notably that of wife-beating, The law is intended to reach highway robbers, persons convicted of excessive cruelty to children, and wife beaters. There is no brute on the face of the earth so deserving of a good beating as the one who will beat his wife or children, and the ordinary punishment fixed by law for such offenders does not seem to fill the bill. Flogging does not seem to be a very popular form of punishment, but if there is ever a crime for which the old Median law of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" should be enforced it is in such as wife beating or cmelty to children. Reports of experts go to show that the abolition of oorporal pnnlsbment is followed by an Increase of crime, and that a decrease follows its resumption. The objection to the method that It is degrading and brutal can be answered by the assertion that recent oocurrenoes prove that when civilization is scraped away brutality is revealed, and that the objections are merely sentimental. It is safe to say that if the men who are nearly every day in our oourta charged with wife-

beating were assured that they would* on conviction, be liable to a severe flogging at the hands of a stout '^an, our police records would not be filled with such disgusting details, The\ man who will beat his wife or mistreat hlB children is a brute of the* most pro nounoed type, and into his punishmeht there should not enter the slightest tinge of sentimentality. By all me^ns flog the wife beaters.

WILL there never be any let-pp^t^ Trilby oraze that seems upon our people? A late fashion article says that as a result of this 4*fad'* thd powers that be will next summer kind-, ly permit ladies at seaside resorts'to' bathe without stockings, and stylish young women are already having their feet prepared for next season's campaign. Many feet which look just too oaptivatlng for anything in shoes and. stookings are not altogether lovely when exposed to view, and feminine owners of such defective extremities are now invoking the aid of the pedicurists to make them presentable. Civilization and tight shoes have inflioted many wrongs upon the human understanding, and many ladles reoognize that if they are to make impressions upon the masculine heart, as well as upon the sand, with their feet next summer, they must put themselves upon a better footipg. An eastern oritio discussing this subject, very properly, asks, why should not a pretty foot inspire the poet afifd the artist quite as much as a hand or a lady's eyebrowT Groat execution has been done with the feminine foot through all the oenturles. Even with its charms concealed by shoes and^took* ings, it has proved one of the most formidable of womauly weapons. With it woman has lured man on, and on, and on and with it, when she has wearied of playing with him, she has administered the coup de graoe. But when it shin«s forth next summer iu all its loveliuess, unadorned by anything but its own beauty, It will be simply irresistible. No bachelor will be safe at ihn seaside. The most hardened and cynical will capitulate at the sight of the thous ands of snowy feet pattering over the sandy beaoh in unconventional freedom,' or demurely presented for masculine inspection and approval. Bortunately Terre Haute girls are noted for thesmallness and beauty of their pedal extremities, and those of them who visit the seaside resorts aud follow the fashions, as all of them will, will be freed from the ill-natured comments of the unfor tunate many who cannot lay claim to the same advantages of which the average Terre Haute girl can boast.
