TERRE HAUTE, IND., JAN 5$, 1895.
THERBare wars and rumors of wars In various lands, and there is a chanoe lor the warlike "Governor" Kolb, of Alabama, to enlist.
.M. FBLIX FAURK, the newly elected president of the French Republic, is the first Protestant execrtive that country has ever bad, either as king or president.
THE millenium is close at band. A -white man in Mississippi has been sentenced to state's prison for life for tbe murder of a colored inan. Think of this, in Mississippi
THE presidents of the French Republic and tbe Argentine Republio have resigned because they couldn't have their way about every thins:. Still, there is no sonnd from hi nrtrm.
THERE were 9,000 murders committed •j in this country last year, and yet theve ^were only 132 executions. Evidently justice ueeds the services of a first-class oculist to cure her of her blindness.
BEFORE long railroad companies will be fixing the diet they will expeot their employes to follow. A Massachusetts road has issued an order to conductors and brakemen of passenger trains requiring them to shave every day. «?.
ANOTHER Ohio man pushed to the front this week in tbe person of Lucien Baker, who was elected senator from Kansas, as a Republican, to succeed John Martin, Democrat. Ohio men oontinue to be as muob in evidence as ever before.
THE telegraph editor of the Indianapolis Journal evidently is laoking a geographical bump in his cranial make-up. He persistently prints the news from the senatorial contest in Delaware under tbe headlines, "No Change in Maryland," "The Latest from the ..Maryland Contest," etc. ______________
No wonder the police question is a great one in New York City. The salaries for the police department there will be nearly $2,000,000 greater this year than the appropriation for the public schools. The police department will cost 95,300,000 and the public schools $3,460,000.
MR. COXEY, of Claggett's Corners, who is a candidate for the Populist nomination for president next year, is going to start a paper to further his boom, which he announces will be "the only honest newspaper in the world.'- If the paper is as honest as Mr, Coxey is modest it will no doubt prove a howling success.
BROOKLYN is just now going through another of those "bloodless" strikes for which the past few years have become noted The police have been unable to stem the torrent of violence on the part of strikers and their sympathizers, and the National Guard of the State has been oalled out, at an expense to the taxpayers of not less than 912.000 a day.
MR. ASTOR, who recently burled his wife in New York, is going baok to England to live, but to prove his sorrow at her death, has made arrangements with a New York florist to spend |50,000 a year for flowers to be plaoed on her grave. No doubt his sorrow is sincere, bat how much better it would be for him to spend this money for the benefit of the poor of his native oity as an offering to the memory of the dead. The ostentatious sorrow is not always the most sincere.
THE unsullied reputation of Judge Ricks should not have been a bar to a thorough investigation of the oharges made against him, and the smothering of these oharges in committee will not be looked upon as having oleared him. Possibly he is not gnilty of the misdemeanors with which he is charged, but he should have invited an investiga tion in that event, rather than fight against such a proceeding. The report of the co rem it tee that was adopted, saying that he was entitled to censure, would have led many Judges to resign.
JOHN J. INOALM did not cut much
fekif fig"re in the Kansas senotorial contest, but the statesman of iridisoent fame, is probably reserving his energies to meet j,jg former successful opponent, Pefler, when tbe latter will be a candidate for
re-sleotion
two years hence. The Kan-
gas statesman was chiefly noted during ^Tit*his senatorial career for his rending of '0nr Hoosler statesman, Senator Voorhees who received attention at the hands %of bis Kansas compeer that he will never forget. A Washington correspondent in reminiscent mood tells of that notable oocasion: He (Ingalis) organized for
orhees, taunted him one day with divers disagreeable scraps of what might he termed Voorheea' war history, and then, when the tall sycamore oalled iilm "a lUr," which he did with much of full* mouthed valor, Ingalis, with a grin of a fiend, opened his senate desk and took therefrom the Voorheea past In printed find in written form. For three hours he cut Voorheea H«e a ,buaz saw. Ingalis didn't leave enough of Voorheea on that sardonic day to say "good evening" to. Nor has Voorheea ever recovered from the shook. TJ this day he ahya at every desk in the senate like a horse. To his mind they seem so many deadfalls.
THEY are going after the sleeping oar companies with a vengeance in the New York legislature. A bill has been introduced in that body making it a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of |100, to oharge more than eighty oents for a sleeping car berth for any continuous trip within the limits of the state. Following this oomes the announcement that the Pullman oompany has just declared its U2U) quarterly dividend of two dollars a share from the net earnings. The great strike doesn't seem to have materially affeoted the profits of that grasping ooncern.
DAVID 6HRI9TIB MURRAY, the English novelist, says he is not a believer in snap-shot pictures of a people and for that reason he will make no comment on what he haa observed since he oame to this country a short time ago. "When I oame to America," said he, "I made up my mind that the people could not be learned from a o»r window between towns where I leotured." Mr. Murray is eminently oorrect. Likewise he is a prudent man. Be is going to stay in the country several years and he want9 the good will of the people from whom he expeots to get considerable money.. It is to be said of him, however, that he is capable of giving, the people their money's worth. .?
THERE IS a good deal of cant in the oriticisms of those papers which see In the election of suoh men as Elkins to the senate a portentous danger, to the country and a deteoriatlon in the membership of that so-called august body. While there is occasion for alarm, perhaps, that corporate wealth is too extensively represented in the senate, it is also to be understood that there Is need of men of affairs in law-making these days. With all due respect for the tradl tional greatness of the senators of the past the fact is they would notbe adapted to deal with the questions noupfjerm6st. They were men who had bfcen especially trained to consider questions, of constitutional law rattier than questions involving the ^business affjijira.of the people. .... „THE Chicago papers cannot resist the temptation to thus taunt New YOrk about the street car strike in a portioni_of "Greater New York": "New Y&rk seems to be singularly agitated over a picayune, street car strike. There are enough troops in the field against a few motorman to conquer a considerable state. The situation moves one to wonder what New York could do with a real strike like that in Chicago last summer." It requires a great deal of assurance for a Chicago paper to refer in this way to the manner in which that city handled the big A. R. U. strike. If Uncle Sam's soldiers hadn't gone to the aid of the incompetent mayor and police force, the wide-awake Chicagoese would, just about now, be putting the roofs on an entire new city.
THE ulterior purpose of Senator Hill in attending the White House dinner, and in defending the Cleveland administration on the floor of tbe senate, is beginning to be understood. No one has believed that be was aotuated by any motive other than a personal one. How he could gain a point in this respect was the puzzling question for the general publio. The answer is that the sagacious senator learned that the president bad finally come to a realizing sense of the fact that he Is not omnipotent and that his course in publlo life had been run. Mr. Hill expeots to be even more of a factor in national politics hereafter than he has been in the past, and he wants all the advantage he can get through the use of tbe president's patronage. First of all the senator wants control of tbe federal offices in New York where they will be of great value to him in the reorganization of the party in the state, a formidable undertaking, but never tbeless one that calls into play the senator's singular ability. ®l|S88i
TEN years ago, or less, if an attorney general of the United States had proposed a measure of legislation which involved government recognition of a labor union in the settlement of a wages, or any other controversy between employers and employes there would have gone up a demand for his removal from office that no president oould have re sis ted. Mr. Olney has proposed such a measure. It goes even farther. It proposes that the inter-state transportation companies shall be operated by the oourts in the event the parties to the dispute refuse to abide by arbitration. This is nothing short of socialism, except in name, and it is in a sense compulsory arbitration, whloh is an impossible thing. It is to be borne In mind that Mr. Olney has been a corporation lawyer of the most offensive type. The strong probability is that he is merely exercising that Bhrewdest of all taotiots—the conversion of the opposition's argument to gain your own point. No doubt Mr, Olney believes with Carroll D. Wright that socialism is growing and that corporate property will best be protected by taking the initiative in meeting the demand for new methods of settlement of these labor disputes and converting the
W «w 1
legislation to the henaflt of the employ ers of labor, It is not neoessary that this be done in a transparent way, A law Ifchat is palpably fair may be used, as we have seen, for the protection of but one side whereas the understood purpose is to proteot both sides. This fact was never more plainly* den^pstrated than in the use of the Sherman anti-trust law to'reaoh strikers on the ground that what they did was in "re atraint of trade." At the time thW law was being discussed in the senate someone asked Mr, Sherman if the law would apply to an organization of farmers who might agree to wlthold from market their product to bring about higher prices and he said that even that would not be "restraint of trade" within tiie meaning of the law. Whatever shape Mr. Olney's measure may take it can be safely assumed that it will not operate to let the employees receive more than their due.
THE movement to have the American flag displayed over sohool houses ail over the country was put on foot by a G. A. R. post of New, York city, and having auoeeeded in maklqg this popular the same post has turned its efforts to securing legislation to require military instruction, in the publio-sehcolsi t2t i». said that
states-An^ei^tori^ wrote lettetSWthe committee in oharge of the movement expressing sympathy with it, and it is also said that the majority of these officials asked for data that would enable them to submit the question to the different legislatures now in session, for thb purpose of securing favorable aotion. Among other prominent persons who have taken an interest in the matter and have deolared in favor of military instruction in the publio sohools lei exPresident Harrison, who several months ago contributed an artiofe to one of tpe leading magazines, in which hesetfor^h in an able manner the many reasops why he beli$ve» iv woujd be a go6d thing. A publio meeting* was held In New York oity last night, participated in by many prominent men, at ^hicfi there was a general discussion1 "as ito what state, municipal and national' legislation should be advised to brings about the instruction it is intended jto secure in the publio schools. It is hbt intended, nor is It desired, to con$r« our publio sohools into a national mi tary academy, but in a number of Ne York sohools where.the experiment military instruction' has been made, is said that the Scholars have great improved in deportment and in physic condition. It teaches themtoobeyq ders, to respeot the authority of super! officers, and in a general way it can said that its introduotion would greater improve our publio school*system
