TERKE HAUTE, IND., FEB. 23,1896.

THS Nicholson bill seems to be as pop ular with many Democratic newspapers 'as the MoKinley bill was unpopular. fflfj They are heartily in favor of having the bill passed—by the Republicans.

THK author of Peck's ,"bad boy^" w*ho is also known to fame as an ex-governor •of Wisconsin, is an applicant for the •acant mission .to Mexico. He would be ,« funny man to get that position

5'TPO* the eternal fitness of names as ap^ plied to towns and. localities, thf w|ldwest yet leads tM prdcesslon. "I&ad Man's Cut" is the gruesome name of a locality in Oklahoma where twto railroad trains collided this week, killing seVeral men.

CHICAGO will have to be up and doing unless she expects to be distanced by her hated rival. St. ouis man fell out

•of

an elevator and broke his neck, but is «tlll living, and is able to eat a square meal every time opportunity offers. Oh!-1 -©ago must produce a freak of some tfttusual kind to beat this.

THK Chinese must go. In number of western states where the pest exists, measures have been introduced into the legislatures making it unlawful for any male person to wear a queue. It is doubtful whether such a restriction would stand the test of the courtB, but it shows how far some men will go to get rid of John.

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS denies with a great deal of vehemence the insinuation that he Is an applicant for the late Min ister Gray's place. His vaulting ambi tion will never be fully satisfied until he is able to write "President" after his name, and the particular term in which he wants to bo :able to this will begin tbe fourth day of March, 1897. And yet, many broader minded and more able men than Mr. Matthews have died with 4his same ambition unsatisfied.

"WHEN American ingenuity devised the principle of triple screws for propelling our modern naval vessels, foreign powers viewed the experiment with suspicion and doubt. The principle has had its utility demonstrated in the Colombia and Minneapolis, and now the British and French are going into the triple screw business, and are going to build cruisers modelled after our new vessels that have proven so successful In all the tests to which they have been subjected.

EVIDENTLY Mr. Kolb's lefining influence is needed in Alabama, for the legislature of the state has just restored the horrible conviot mining system that was done away with two years ago. At that '|jtime on account of the horrors related /about the life

and

.treatment of the

prisoners In the mines, a law was passed providing for the purohase of an enorxnous State farm, to be operated by con\v victa. The farm was bought and improved by the State, but the experiment ii«» proved costly, and it became neces-

"i!llllllllllllllllllllllHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIII

THE

sary to return to the old method. The mine operators will be enabled to get their product out cheaper with the conviot labor and are pleased. The trouble with the miners over the convict labor employe# in the Tennessee mine^led to the terrible labor strikes in that state a year or so ago, and as the Alabama miners are protesting over the passage of this bill it is likely that there will ba trouble down there.

THK New York police having had a long period of unexampled prosperity in blackmailing their victims are now taking a turn at being blackmailed, as one of the results of the Lexow investigation. Now it is said that some of the heretofore protected class, keepers of questionable resorts are extorting money from the polioe under the threat that if the minions of the law don't come down with the cash they will be called before the grand jury to tell some things that were not disclosed to the Lexow committee. This is looked upon as being the culmination of fine art in the way of "getting even."

THE: pitcher that goes to the well too often is sure to be broken. Robert E. PattiBon, twice elected Governor of Pennsylvania as a Democrat, and who had just finished his second term, beoame a candidate for Mayor «f Pfciladeldelphia on a so-called "reform" tieket. 'There was a split In the Republican ranks, -and it was thought that Pattlson's .personality would win a victory foj his jjparty. '$ut his [political pitcher mitde o'ne trip t$o many. Xka.Re^ttWi' jean ticket ^weni through 6y majorities ranging as high as 60,000 and now the ex-Qoyernojr doubtless, thinks that the rolWqf a Democratic reformer in Republican Philadelphia is disappointing.

seeking, but up to date never finding: representative of the Cleveland faoflpn of the Indiana Democracy in. search of offices, may stand some show of getting the '•mission to Mexico,* to succeed the late Isaac P. Gray, but bis chatices would probably-be brighter bad his friends displayed a little, decency in pressing

olai ms. The breath had scarcely left the body of the other Indlanian before Shanklln's friends were pulling and hauling in their efforts to get the job for the Evansville editor. Politics is Supposed to be a cold blooded business, and there was never abetter demonstration of this than in the soramble that has been made for this dead man's shoes.

A ST. LOUIS physician has been expelled from a medical society of that city for violating the code of ethics by furnishing news to the press. Tbe In dianapolis Journal well says, commentingon the matter, that "If that rule were enforced everywhere medical societies would lose a great mauy members and if should be extended to all physicians who seek and obtain free notices from the press there would be still more expulsions. The press is often indebted to members of the medical profession for news and no one should blame them for desiring the publicity which pertains to such service, but it is absurd for medical societies to expel members who do this when every one of them would do It if they could

THE Civic federation in Chicago has accomplished a great deal in the conviotion of a man named Chapman for conspiracy in preventing voters from exercising their privileges in the last election. Along list of indictments have been returned for frauds of various kinds in that memorable contest, and this case was considered to be the weakest one in the lot. The crime of this man was in challenging every voter who attempted to cast his vote in a certain ward in Chicago, and each man so challenged was compelled to swear his vot$ In, and asa result only four hundred men out of nearly seven hundred entitled to the franchise in that precinct were enabled to exercise it. Chapman was found guilty, and given a year and a half in

VI

the penitentiary, and now the remainder of thugs under indiotment have ceased to sneer at the Civio federation as oom posed of a lot of theorists, Chicago is in the throes of another municipal eleotion, or the preliminaries inoident to an election, and we may expect another batch of Udiotments as soon as it is over. They have se many elections in Chicago that the people up there seem either to be voting or quarreling about the result of an eleotion all the year round,

HERE are some reoent statistics regarding vaccination that may prove of interest, though not satisfactory, to the an ti-vacin nation people. In the Philadelphia municipal hospital last year, of eighty-seven small-pox patients admitted during the year thirty-four had been vaoolnated in infanoy, but not one of those who had what are recognised as good marks died. Nor were there any deaths among those who had been vaoolnated after exposure. On the other hand, among the thirteen who, though vaoolnated in infanoy, had poor marks, showing imperfect vaooination, there were two deaths, while of forty-four unvaooinated oases eight died. Thia would seem to be very strong proof of the ef* fipaoy of vaccination. 5#- 'I l' 4 %tfxRB*ia material for a very striking s^fry in an occurrenoe in Michigan, this week, where the governor pardoned a dopviot under a three years', sentence in states prison on tjie charge of burglary. The man, Hendersou by name, is a civil engineer, a graduate of Tale, and has wealthy parents In California, who have not heard of ihe son's disgrace. While calling upon a 'married Woman, hie was attacked by her hus'bahd and in Ilia eagerness: to eaeape jumped through a window. He bad hi his possesslon the woman's watch and the husband had hiip arrested- tor burglary. iW {eKr of blasting the wife's imputation Henderson would not ,explain, his presence JQ $be house and wis convicted. To add totae dramatic interest, it is said that the aggrieved hnsbind v^ bit slnoe left his wife, was one pf the persons ^chiefly,

Chicago are experimenting with the plan of dividing a portion of their profitB with their employes, and it is said with great success. In one of the stores tbat is looked upon as being unusually prosperous, some of the shop girls who were receiving ten dollars a week in wages had for their share of profits the neat sum of $80 for the six months just past. When the system was adopted all the salespeople who had been in the employ of the company one year or more were then

^aY^hramount of th..

sales for six months exceeded the total for the same period of time during the previous year, they would receive a commission—averaging 1\i percent throughout the store—on the excess. Immediately the young men and women behind the counters began to increase their ef

forts to sell goods, and when the first

distribution was made some surprising results were shown. If all large employers of labor were as thoughtful and considerate of their employes as the firm in this instance, there would be fewer strikes and labor disturbances to chronicle.

RICHARD MANSFIELD, the actor, can talk and write as well as he can act, and several times lately he has taken occasion to tell hii auditors some plain truths about the duties publlo entertainers owe to those who patronize them. At Pittsburgh recently when called before the curtain for a speech be told the audienoe tbat he felt that those who paid to see him act reoeived tbe worth of their money, and he thought it was an imposition to call him before the curtain to make a speech, for he was an actor and not an orator. Tbe audienoe evidently appreciated tbe truth of his

remarks, for they were received with applause. The other night in Chiaago he took occasion to read a lecture to Chicago theater goers in particular, and the American theater-going publlo in generalt on its negleet of American actors and American plays to run after every mediocre foreign actor or actress that comes to this country. Mr. Mansfield is noted for putting on bis plays with an attention to details that is not imitated by many actors, American or foreign, and his companies are made upof stage people of reooguized ability. Despite this he has been playing in Chicago to audienoes meagre in size, and it naturally irritated him. After referring to the fact that it costs a great deal more to prod nee an Amerioan play than io bring one across the water, he said: "I am always looking for the Amerioan Shakespeare, and have strong belief that he will sometime be found. Many Amerioans are trying to produce plays tbat shall be pronounced great. There may be some among you who believe they will yet produce a great play. But how oan It be done if the people do not give their support to Amerioan actors, especially when they present the production of an Amerioan anthorf They ra^id'their money here, while the actor and ooinpahy from abroad take out of the.oountry whatever you give them, thus impoverishing you." There Is a great deal of truth in Mr. Mansfield's remarks. One oan scarcely recall a single foreign aotor or actress that has come to 'tiris country but has gene away loaded doWn with the reward that the pnblie as a rule falls or refuses fe give to pur own dnmatlOi |tan, ..in a .majority, of eases the ftrsotion hae not been superior to thai coffered by our own people. Bernhardt, Irving, the Kendalls, Hading, Langtry, QoqueHq, Wilson Barrett,, and many others, have visited. our chores rand t§|en .away wltji them the dollars that foreign, publios steadfastly refuseto gtiec" to our actors antj^tressee when thorn. Thert li seemingly a ofsnobblsb qess in,the make up erloan people, and it is pfver ysjs(,in the homage they are to .pay, in .a financial and

social frayi to foreign dramatic stars..
