TERRE HAUTE, IND., FEB. 9,1895.

THERE is still some hope lor the sen ate. Its members have life :ough to quarrel with each other, which may be looked upon as an encouraging sign.

DU MAURIER says that he never wants to see "Trilby" on the stage. It he bad to put up with a lot of the "Trilby" fad9 that are so prevalent in every community he would probably wish he had never written the book.

Now that the Florida orange crop has gone to the bow wows, the only saving clause for the whole country is that the leia*vare peach crop will be saved. But if they don't settle that senatorial fight down there, even the peaohes will be blighted.

THE honest and sincere Democrats in Tennessee should pray that their leaders mnd managers suddenly acquire the gift of second sight, if they expect to keep that state in the Democraticcolumn. If they beat Henry Clay Evans out of the governorship to which he has been elected, look out for marvelous increases in the Republican vote in that Democratic stronghold.

IT is announced that New York society is to take up roller skating once more and rink proprietors are looking forward to a harvest. Of course if society goes in for the thing it will become a fad. Guardians of good morals might do worse than to agitate in the interest of securing some rules and regu lations to keep the sport above reproach. The roller skate, judging from past records, was evidently 'designed by someone upon whom Satan had a tight mortgage.

THE University of jyiichigan has challenged the University of Chicago for an annual joint debate. The idea is to revive interest in oratory. At the time this proposition is before the Chicago institution the faculty, or at least that part of it which constitutes the athletic committee, is trying to arrive at a decision on the suggestions of the college president in regard to the football rules whereby the brutality of the sport may be prevented. The committee is said to be opposed to the limitations, .as is also President Harper.

CONGRESS has only three weeks more before it in which to solve the financial problem, but iffs not likely to bring re lief in the manner recommended by the President. After March 4th the Sanate will stand thirty-nine Democrats, fortythree Republicans and five Populists With the strong silver sentiment of the West more fully represented than now, and with the Populists holding the balance of power, it would be folly to antic ipate any prospect of sounder financial legislation than we have at present. It is estimated that there will be a free silver majority of twelve in the Senate of the next Congress.

COLONETI CORBIN, of the regular army, believes in teaching the boys of the publio schools to drill and moreover he is in favor of having the drilling done by the officers of the regular afmy. It is cited that at Omaha, Washington and Newport, Ky., there are well drilled com paoies of boys whose military training has been conducted by army officers. Colonel Corbin frankly admits that one reason for advocating this new and novel duty for army offiers is to bring the army Into more intimate relations with the people and thereby oreate a more liberal policy on the government toward the army. It goes without saying that Colonel Corbin is not a West Point graduate. He was a brave soldier and an excellent officer in the war and he seems to be yet Imbued with the genuine "volunteer" spirit.

THE Indiana legislature is making a good record by not enacting Into laws a mass of ill-considered measures. It is an exceptional reoord because In nearly all other states the legislatures are making laws to oover all manner of subjeots. Over in Illinois it is proposed to legislate against fortune tellers, the boy with the air rifle, the narrow tire on wagon wheels, and it is even proposed to lessen the plumbers' charges. As one veracious correspondent writes, weeds will be prevented by statute from going to seed and beer bottles may not legally go astray. The horses' tails are not to be docked and the time for holding horse races will be limited. There is nothing Chat so severely reflect* on legislature* as the presence in the statute books of a muUpHclty of laws that are never enuforoed.

THE Republioania in the Senate are in poor business if they take up the cause of Warren 8. Keese, the Alabama Populist, who pretends to have been elected to the Senate and has filed his creden-

•4 5"'

tiais signed by would be Governor Kolb The latter wiw possibly counted out of the Governorship of that state, but as be can make no contest, be baa no right to sign Senatorial credentials. Reese's credentials were presented by Senator Allen, thf Populist from Nebraska, and it Isaaifl that Allen and Senator Chandler are |o unite in an effort to give ^enatcf Morgan's seat to Keese, The story is too foolish to believe, but if true it can re fleet no oredit on the parties to it. The Republicans would no doubt like to control the next Senate bat they certain ly cannot afford to secure that control by suoh methods as this.

ANOTHER Indiana man bas gone to the (rent in the person of John Wilson, who has been seleoted by the Republicans in Washington to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of the last legislature to elect a senator. Wilson is a native of CrawfordsvlUe, and as reoeotly as 1880 was a member of the legislature of this state. He went west to grow up with the country when he was appointed by President Arthur as reoelver of publio moneys at Spokane. Since then he has been identified with the politics of that oommunity, and had the honor of being the first Republican elected to congress from the new state of Washington. An Indiana man* is pretty hard to dow^, especially if he hails from the Athens of the Hoosler st*te, but it does not neoes sarily follow that he attained distinction simply bacause he went west to grow up with the country.

THKONEMSSS, shorn of all her power and threatened with banishment from her native land, Queen Lil, has re nounoed all olaims to the Hawaiian Is-' lands, at the same time announcing her allegiance to the Republic, of which President Dole is the head. Like old King Cole, Queen Lil is a merry old soul, and a merry old soul is she. She saw in the trial of the revolutionists at Honolulu a prospect of getting into trouble herself as the instigator of the revolution, and realized that the easiest way out was to abdicate. But the abdication probably has a string to it, and once out she can claim that it was secured under duress. Those who are born to the purple think they have divine and vested rights, and they are not likely to surrender them so easily. We shall hear of the dusky queen with the unpronounoable name again ere long.

THE commissioner of internal revenue, from preliminary reports from the revenue collectors throughout the country, estimates that 330,000 corporations and individuals will be called on to pay the income tux. Numerous letters have been received from lawyers and others representing corporations, estates, etc., all of whom express their purpose of complying with the law at once, and only write to have explained some point not entirely clear to them. Commissioner Miller says that, as far as his cor respondence and his interviews with business men and their attorneys go, he is convinced that there is a general desire to make honest and full returns, and he thinks the receipts from the income tax will exceed the early estimates. He may be correct in assumiug that corporations and individuals coming under the law are anxious and willing to make full and honest returns, but there are no reasons for believing that they will make any better returns for the Income tax collectors than for the looal tax gatherers, and experience has taught those familial with such things that more than a proportional share of taxation is borne by those who fall a great deal short of coming within the provisions of the income tax law.

ANOTHER reformer, whose part in a reform movement gave him the opportunity to get a fat political job, John W. Goff, counsel for the Lexow committee, has set his fellow-reformers aghast by his efforts to Increase his politioal power and influence. He was elected in No vember as recorder of New York, a position that is good for fourteen years, at a salary of $12,500 a year. A bill has been introduced in the New York legislature, presumably at his instance, as he is the only person benefited by it, increasing his salaiy to $17,600 a year, and giving to him the power of appointing all the officers and attaches of four New York courts, some fifty or sixty appointments that have heretofore been made by the whole number of judges acting as a joint board. These appointive offices range in salary from $900 to $4,000 a year, and the other judges are indignant that so muob absolute power should be given to one man, who has yet to demonstrate his fitness for such a responsible judicial position. The people of New York by their votes approved Mr. Goff's oonduot of the now famous Lexow investigation, but they can hardly be called on to subscribe so liberally to tne theory that he should be monarch of all he surveys In tbe New York oourt*.

THE liability of the prooces for establishing the insanity of a person to go wrong was again illustrated the other day. It was at Quinoy, Illinois, and a oitiaen of undoubted soundness of intellect was passed upon by a commission and forcibly taken from the court room by the sheriff's officers while the man whose insanity was in question sat staring at the proceeding, unaware not only of Ihe mistake on the part of the oommisslon and the officers of the law* but, indeed, of the fact that he had been brought into the room that his mental condition might be passed upon. While the testimony was being beard tbe lnnacy commission looked at the unsuspecting sound citizen who had been designated to them as the one whose sanity waa in question, and saw in his oonntenanoe undoubted evidence of insanity.

It is a comparatively easy matter to have a person committed to an insane

fuW,

JUSTICE GAYNOB, of the New York Supreme oourt, who gave the notable deolslon in the Brooklyn streetcar strike case to the effect that the street oar COOK panies, that owed their' Very existence to the publio, were under obligations to that publio more than to the stock holders, has written to the New York state board of arbitration his views as to the cause of the great strike, which is said to have cost the parties concerned more than (2,000,000. He holds that the trouble primarily arose from ihe faot that the company was compelled to economize in order to meet the' obliga tions inoident upon the issuance of an unusual lot of watered stock. Dividends on bonds and Btocks must be met, and if there be no other way out of Jfc the employes must be compelled to pay these dividends by a reduction in wages, increase of overtime without a corresponding increase in wages, or something of that kind for which railroad managers, as a rule, are noted. In all the big railroad strikes, street car or otherwise, that we have seen in the past few years, the trouble has been, Invariably, the neoessity of cutting do v?n ex penses in order to meet dividends on some fictitious value that has really never had any existence. As between the holder of watered stock iind thpi,em ploye, the latter is not in it. If *h'e doesn't like is job at the prices offered for wages he is free to quit and seek other employment, and the publicwell, the public can be content to read Mr. Yanderbilt's opinion of it as a solace for a deprivation of the rights belonging to it. Until congress enacts laws for biding the evil of watered stock corpo rations, aud enforces those laws, we can expect to have strikes and strikes, in augurated chiefly either to enforde or resist reductions in wages caused by the need of raising money to pay dividends on something that realty never had any existence. That so Eminent a member of the supreme bench of the state of New York has seen fit to call attention to tbe matter is proof of the faet-fthat there has in tbe last few months, in fact sincb tbe Justice Harlan decision in the United States court, been a shifting of the judicial idea that labor had little rights in courts to protect itself.

LEGISLATION FOR CITIES. In the reports one day this week from several state legislatures questions of municipal government were gi?en the place of prominence in the talk at the respective state capitals. In Minnesota the measure that is under discussion provides for dividing the cities iti tbe state in two olasses, those of over 30,000 inhabitants to be of tbe. first class arid to oome under tbe provisions of this'bill, and those of not more than 30,000''{6 be in the second class. An' increase or the population of a city of the second olass to more than 30,000 brings it undeir the operation of the law as to cities of tbe first class. Tbe only elective officers are the mayor, comptroller and treasurer, besides tbe assembly of nine members and an alderman from each ward. The other offloers are to be appointed by the mayor, and to hold office at his pleasure The wards of the city may be reorganized after a state or federal census, but the reorganization is not to take place oftener than once in five years. tl

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, FEBRUARY 9^1895.

boipitaU There are many persons In the range of everyone's acquaintance who have their "little eccentrics ties," and who among strangers, and renderod angry and indignant by an attempt to confine them in a "mad house," would so conduct themselves as to convince the average lunacy oommisslon that they were praay. Then, too, |f some wicked and designing person should have an ulterior purpose in securing their commitment (and there are fttoh wioked arid designing persons in. real life as well as on the stage and in novels) a trifling amount of perjured testimony would be all sufficient to seoura a ver» diot oi insanity. How many sane per sons are there in hospitals for the insane who, like the really insane patients, are ceaselessly deolaring that they are not mad. It is a haunting and terrorizing thought, There is only one that Is comparable to it and that is, bow many persons "oome to life after burial."1

The

.time of the city elections is ohanged from May to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and occurs in the odd numbered years. Tbe bill makes a sweeping out in salaries ,and abolishes all of the boards except those of the schools and parks.

In Michigan the legislature baa agreed to the recommendation of the municipal oommisslon in the matter of a general obarter for villages from 600 to 5,009 population. The charter goes into all the details of government even as to the amount of the salaries of the village officers. As to the larger townB and cities there is a divergence of opinion. There is a popular demand for home rule for oities, and to meet this demand one of the legislators has introduced a joint resolution to submit a constitutional amendment to, the people, taking from the legislature all control over municipalities except the bounderles and a few other fundamentals, leaving it to municipalities to adopt suoh schemes of local government as" they want, the charters to be approved by the attorney general. Such a measure wonld most efleetu ally take from the legislature the trouble that is now experienced with looal legislation*

The Illinois legislature has passed the nssdfal legislation to permit Peoria to create a system of beautiful parks and boulevards. Land purchased for park purposes is to be paid for by direct taxation. Bonds to the amount of 2% per cent, of the assessed value of all property included In the park district may be issued, which means $190,000. The boulevard is to run along the brow of a bluff 280 high and will oonneotasmal

park of ten acres in South Peoria with a park on tbe river's bank at the "Nar* rrows," ive miles to tbe northeast. Between these points the drive will lead to and follow the bluff line, passing through Burkltt's Park of eighty acres, Madison Park of forty ^crer and Bradley Park of 160 acres. The Burkitt prop arty can be made at small expense the handsomest park in tbe state. It includes a beautiful wooded ravine— "Burkltt's Hollow"—tb*t has been for years a favorite holiday resort.
