UNION

SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1896.

THE destination of England's "flying squadron" seems still to be as deep a mystery as the identity of the man who struck Billy Patterson.

Seator Woloott, of Colorado, is statesman of the wild and woolly kind. He is opposed to war with England— unless he gets free silver along with it.

The president has again attempted to usurp the functions of the legislative branch of the government, by endeavor ing to prevent the passage of the Senate resolution on the Monroe doctrine. He doesn't like it, which isn't strange. He doesn't like anything that does not emanate from his own wonderful and mysterious brain.

Some Indianapolis people are said to be interested in a $200,000,000 claim against the government, on account of some Union Pacific bonds that were transferred by a government official a great many yeare ago. It has been the custom for many years for Indianapolis people to claim everything In Indiana, but this is the first Intimation we have had that they are golDg to make an advance upon the government.

Mahyland, for the first time In her history, has a Republican United States 8enator, Congressman Charles L. Wellington having been elected to that position this week to suoceed Senator Oibson. With a Senator from Kentucky, whioh now seems probable, North Carolina, West Virginia and Maryland, the Republicans have a greater representation in the Senate than at any time since the old oarpet bagging, 'reconstruction period.

IT is hard to tell the'real status of the Cuban revolution, although the recall of General Campos, who has had oharge of the Spanish cause, would seem to Indicate that his conduct of the oampaign has been unsatisfactory. His successor is heralded as a tnan who will adopt severe measures, and if he pursues the plans his supporters have planned for him, his acts of cruelty will necessitate the interference of some*of the powers in the interest of humanity.

Utah now has two Republican senators, Frank Cannon, a son of Geo. Cannon, formerly a delegate to congress from the territory, and one of its leading Mormons, and Arthur Brown, who were elected in the joint session of the legislature on Tuesday. Utah was organized as a territory in 1850, and has a population of about 250,000, or less than Cincinnati or Washington. Still she has two senators and one congressman to assist in making laws for us.

MR BAYARD explains his publio speeches in England, In whioh he abused those who differ with the Demooratio theories of government, by saying that they were simply after-dinner utterances. Does he mean to say that he bad been drinking too muoh? A man in bis cups oan be forgiven for many things he says, and perhaps this Is the most oharitable construction to be plaoed upon his peculiar utteranoes condemning a majority of the people he is supposed to represent.

THE daughter of the Queen of England has lost her husband by death, whioh resulted from a fever caught in a oampaign of oonquest by the British against a lot of Afrloan savages who have some valuable land the English desire to own. While the English are plunged in mourning over the loss of a Queen's son-in-law, but little thought is given to the poor naked creatures who lost their lives in defending their oountry against the aggression of greedy England, ^s England has dSalt with the Afrioan tribes, •o would she with the Veneiueleans if ahe dared. But she doesn't dare to.

SOUTH CAROUHA, with Its new constitution, is making some experiments with the question of oonviot labor, and the results will be noted with Interest in this state, where a committee of senators Is now investigating the question. The new constitution removed the restrictions to the chain-gang system, and now all offlolals with authority to sentence to Imprisonment have the right to send convicted prisoners to the ohain gang. The result is that there has been an increase In the number of convictions, while the number of prisoners In the penitentiary has decreased. Already nineteen counties have chain gangs at wock, and others are contemplating like aotion. In a majority of the counties where the experiment has been tried it works well, and many miles of good roadg have been built. Several of the counties oomplain of the great oost of the system, but it seems not to be unduly expensive where intelligence is used in the application of the labor, and where modern road building machinery baa been employed. Oonviot labor oomes

in less competition with free labor in road bnilding and improvements than in any other form in whioh it has been employed, and the South Carolina experiment will be closely watched by those who are interested in ridding free labor of competition with labor that is fed and clothed by the very persons whose work is taken from them by the convicts.

The experiment of produoing school books at the cost of the state has not proved very satisfactory in California, where it has had a thorough trial of ten years. In fact it has established the fact that the text books are very costly, while their merits have not been increased. The idea in making the experiment was that the books, when thrown upon the market, would not only repay the oost of production, but would yield a handsome revenue, which would in a few years fully reimburse the state for the amounts appropriated to establish the original plant. On the contrary, however, the estimate now is that the state has lost about $250,000 on the venture since 1885. Since the establishment of the plant it has oost 1400,000 in appro prlations of publio money, and Its present estimated value is $150,000. !l^M

European powers have been gobbling up territory in Africa at a great rate since 1884, when the first occupation of that country was made by the Germans Since then South Africa has been divided up ae follows: England has eight separate portions, Germany three, and France a large interior territory, whose limits are scarcely defined, Italy has two, and Spain and Portugal one each. The only independent states in the oountry are the Transvaal, Orange Free State and Liberian republics, and the empire of Morocco. It will probably not be very many years, however, before there will be a combination of South Afrioan governments, under the title of the United States of South Africa, which organization is said will be the realization of the ambition of Ceoil Rhodes, the deposed premier of Cape Colony, whose maohlnations are said to be the Immediate cause of the reoent raid into the republioof the Boera.

The Monroe doctrine has heretofore been a matter of sentiment, as it lacked the approval of oongress on the subjeot, at least in direot terms, but the present congress will acton It, and it seems there is likely to be some friotion in the matter. The senate has under consideration a resolution on the subjeot that the house is likely to disagree with, for the assigned resson that it it goes too far in the matter. There are very few things the senate does that meet with public approval, but if there Is anything at all in the Monroe doctrine, the senate resolution does not go too far. It is to the effect that the acquisition of any territory on this oontlnent by any foreign power is a violation of the Mod roe doctrine, and this is substantially what Monroe said, in bis famous message: "The American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future coloni&ation by any European power. It is impossible that we should behold foreign interposition in any form with indifference." President Cleveland did not go this far, but intimated that if England and Venezeula could settle their boundary difficulties between themselves, and the more powerful country aoquire the immense territory in dispute, that is was practically none of our business, and we had no right to interfere. This agrees neither with President Monroe, or with Thomas Jefferson, who said before the Monroe doctrine had been enunciated, "We must oppose with all our means the transfer of the South American oolonles to any power, by conquest, oesslon or acquisition in any other way." This is the dootrine the senate resolution affirms, and the house, which is supposed to be in closer touch with the people than the senate, will not represent publio opinion if It refuses to oonfirm the senate resolution.

THERE is a oertain class of Anglomanlacs numbered among the residents of the United States to whom the mere mention of the words "pensions," "protection," or "Monroe doctrine," has the same effect as the fluttering of a red flag before an angry bull. It simply drives them mad. These patriotio oitixens have disooverdd another reason why we should not insist upon the American interpretation of the Monroe dootrine, and thus possibly go to war with England. It is, that in oase of war our pension list will greatly inoreased, and an additional tax levied upon the poor taxpayers, of whom these Anglomanlaos are the only friends, aooording to their own statements. In proof of the far-reaching effeots of an inorease in the pension system they point to the fact that although our oivil war oeased more than thirty years ago we paid out last year for pensions one hundred and forty millions of dollars, and have paid out as muoh as one hundred and sixty millions, and there are several hundred thousand oases in the pension offloe still unadjudlcated. They also point to the faot that although the Mexioan war has been owr for nearly fifty years, there are still on the pension rolls 12,586 veterans and 7,868 veterans' widows of the Mexican war, and that the same pension rolls contain the names of 81 veterans and 3,826 widows of the war of 1812, and that while the Revolutionary war is a matter of history over one hundred years old there are still 12 widows or daughters of revolutionary soldiers drawing pensions from the government.

As a result of these statements they Insist that it would be a orime to undertake a war for the defense of the Monroe dootrine and national honor, from the faot that the American people are likely to saddle on themselves great tax to be used in the payment of pension! to I

Deafness is oaused by an inflamed condition of the muoous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rambling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is entire* ly olosed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation oan be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are oaused by eatarrh, whioh is nothing but an inflam ed oondltion of the muoous surfaoes.

the veterans or the descendants of veterans who might participate In suoh a war. The patriotism that measures itself by dollars is not of the simon-pure, variety, and the use of such an argument Is not likely to be very convincing to bring about a baok-down from the position assumed by the majority of the American people, that the acquisition of territory by any foreign power on this continent is a tacit declaration of war, and will be so taken by those who have the war making power for the people at large.

A GREAT deal of fun has been made of Senator Peffer, of Kansas, on account of his whiskers, and some of his Populistic theories, but he has introduced a bill in the senate that has more good sense about it than usually is a characteristic of senate bills. HIB measure bears the singular title of "A bill to provide for the proper disposition of the remains of Senators and Representatives who die while Congress is in session." The point of the senator's bill is that it is a move to reduce the expense and lessen the scandal connected with the burial of the members of congress who die while at their post of duty. It is a matter of fact that the congressional funeral at government expense has reached a point far beyond the decent observance of propriety and respeot due the memory of departed statesmen. Senatorial cocurtesy Bo-oalled, has heretofore kept the discussion of suoh affairs out of the records of the senate, but Senator Peffer, with a determination worthy of such a good cause, has insisted on a disoussion of his bill until it looks as if it might beoome a law, if the house will coincide in the senate's aotion. In his investigation of the congressional funeral he has discovered that the first one at the expense of the government cost but $4.49, while the last one under the government auspices, cost the magnificent sum of $21,322. The first one was in the early days of the government, when funeral trappingsand accessaries were not so oostly aB now, and the last was a speoial palace-car procession across the oontinent, with the accompaniments of a wine-stocked buffet and flowers so numerous as to be disgusting. Sinoe the government was inaugurated there have been one hundred and seven senators buried at the expense of the government^ and the expense of each funeral has averaged $4,542, whioh is considerably more than the average family is able to spend on the burial of its loved ones. Of these one hundred and seven the last thirteen members buried oost more in funeral expenses than all the rest and the most money has been spent on the senators who were the richest, and whose families were therefore the better able to pay the funeral expenses. The Kansas Benator expresses the opinion that th6 congressional funeral has made the United States treasury a subjeot of common plunder for those who choose to prey upon it, and he thinks the only remedy is to put a stop to the entire custom. The Kansan may be a orank, as tie Is charged with being, but he has made a move that will meet with the cordial approval of the people in general, regardless of party. If all the bills he introduces are as sensible as this particular one, the people will regret thjit so few Populist senators.

LEMONS AS MEDICINE.

Many a Core Is Effected by These Simple and Palatable Remedies. Lemon juice sweetened with loaf or crushed sugar will relieve a cough.

For feverisliness and an unnatural thirst soften a lemon by rolling on a hard surface, cut off the top, add sugar and work it down into the lemon with a fork, then suck it slowly.

During tbe warm months a sense of coolness, corufort and invigoration oan be produced by a free use of lemonade. For six large glasses of lemonade nse six large, juicy lemons. Roll on a hard surface so that tbe juice can be easily extracted. Peel and slice. Add sufficient sugar to sweeten and stir it well into the juice before adding the water.

Hot lemonade will break up a cold if taken at the stftt't, Make it the same as cold lemonade, only use boiling water instead of cold watjer and use about onehalf as much sugar.

A piece of lenion, or stale bread moistened with lemon juice, bound on a corn will cure it. Renew night and morning.' The first application will produce soreness, but if treatment is persisted in for a reasonable length of time a cure will be effected.

The discomfort caused by sore and tender feet ruay be lessened, if not entirely cured, by applying slices of lemons on the feet.

To cure chilblains take a piece of lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it and rub the feet well. Repeat if necessary.

Lemon juice will relieve roughness and vegetable stains on the hands. After having the hands in hot soapsuds rub them with a piece of lemon. This will prevent chapping and make the hands soft and white.—Philadelphia Times.

Universal regret was expressed this week at the announcement that J. T. H. Miller, the popular clothier, for so long in business at 522 'Main street, had been compelled to make an assignment to James Cox, who was formerly interested in business with Mr. Miller, and who is his brother-in-law. Bad business and poor collections are the reasons for the assignment. The assets of Mr. Miller are stated to be as follows: stook $19, 672.60, accounts, $7,500, or a total of $27,072,60, while the liabilities are figured in round numbers, $18,000, principally with eastern wholesale establishments. Of the indebtedness some $6,000 is held by looal creditors, who were preferred in the assignment. -Mr. Miller has been prominent in Terre Haute business oircles for many years, and has established a reputation as an honorable, upright business man. He has hundreds of personal friends in this vicinity who unite in the hope that careful management of the business may enable him to come out of his present embarrassment with oredit to himself and satisfaction to his creditors, and that he may be enabled to continue in business with the confidence to which his long and honorable business career has entitled him.
