MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The Sulzer bill pending in congress which is aimed at the "sweatshops" of the big cities, will apply to the overall Industry of this city. It provides a heavy penalty for sending goods to be made into clothing to houses where anyone either sleeps or eats. The idea is that the garmenls made in such places can carry disease throughout the country, and from state to state, wherein the power of congress to legislate in the mat ter comes in. In the big cities most of the ready-made clothing comes from squalid apartments in tenement houses and it is this condition which the law is intended to remove. There are many hundred women in Torre Haute who work at their homes on overalls and pants sent to them by the factories, and although the condition is not that which the proposed law contemplates, yet if Mr. Sulzer's measure becomes a law it will apply to the work in this city. In Chicago public meetings have-been held at which the measure was endorsed as the only possible method of ameliorating the condition of the people who'&trn a scant living In the "sweat shops." The good people who take this view do not seem to understand that if they take away the means of livelihood altogether that the objects of their commiseration must starve. That they are underpaid is true, of course, but it is asocial condition of labor .and capital that is not to be repaired by all the Sulzer bills that can be made laws, were congress to devote all of its time to the one subject. One of the significant facts brought out in the Chicago meeting, as indeed in the dlsousslon of the Sulzer measure every where, Is the failure of state laws to be •effective when the condition of the wage earner is at stake and the welfare of the employer imperilled. It Is by reason of that fact that relief is sought in a federal law. Judge Tuley, the nestor of the

Chicago judiciary, said in the Chicago meeting that "when I remember the fate of every law ever passed in this state to ameliorate the condition of the common people I hang my head tn shame. If pansed by the legislature, it has gone to the Supreme court and has beeu declared unconstitutional. The lime of our judges is spent iu raking over the musty law* of 200 years ago. They are not keeping up with the times. We now talk of appeal to federal law and federal courts. I have not made a critical review of this bill, but I know our federal oourts are more progressive than our state courts."

Friends of Father MoEvoy sent to him this week a trult cake and a blooded bull pup. It was known that Father MoEvoy was vetsatile in his tastes, but a fruit cake and a blooded bull pup in one con slgnment rather staggers the imagination.

A year or more ago It was said in this column that when the proceeding for the opening of Ohio street had reaohecV the stage where the cost would come up for Immediate consideration there would be less of the enthusiastic demand for pushing the proceeding. I recall that at that time this predlotion was scouted as being in the uature of carping criticism. Some one started the rallying cry that "the way to open Ohio street is to open it." This was taken up and the council was called upon to proceed in the matter. Then came the action of thfe board of olty commissioners listing a great deal of property to be assessed for the benefit that would aocrue to it tjy opening the street. Some of those who been most Insistent in the dema^, the legal proceeding suddenly discovered that though the olty won in the end in the oourts that it would be at great ooet and after long delay. Indeed, I have heard of lnstanoes in whioh some who were making loud demands for opening the street have sinoe, to their surprise, learned their property is to be assessed, undergoneauoh aradloalchange of views that they say the opening of Ohio street would inflict damage on their property. The result of this ohange in sentiment is a movement for a viaduct. I undetstand that the Eransville A Terre Haute people are in favor of a viaduct. At for that matter it would be ghrewd polioy on the part of all the other roads to push the viaduot movement. If one ytaduot la oonoeded by the olty we may look forward to number of them and as Terre Haute grow* people leaving the business district for the eastern or northern parte of the olty will be climbing over viaduote. It ia a shame that a oity la thus confronted with snoh a drawbaok to its growth, and while no one belittle* the benefit that railroads

are to the city, everyone regrets that possibly they are so entrenched in the law, as perhaps also in their equitable rights, that we must accept viadncts.

It wonld seem to be the better policy to pursue the legal proceeding for the compulsory opening of the street to the final decision. We will always want to know if the city can condemn railroad property for street and alley parposes, not only as to this particular crossing, but as to others. The legislature un doubtedly intended to grant the power to cities, but whether the law is constitutional and effective remains to be decided by the highest authority... The amended law under which City Attorney Piety and his associate counsel are npw proceeding has not been passed upon by the supreme court. Of course this carrying of the case to a final decision means delay, running through several administrations of the city government. As I have said heretofore in pointing out what had to be taken into consideration in proceeding to open the street by condemnation proceedings, these changes in the city administration furnish the serious danger that the case will not be pushed to a final decision. If one set of officials were to be with it all the way through it would be more likely to be expedited and a conclusion reached. The delay is annoying it is true ifris set forth that the delay also would deprive the city of the park which has been ottered on condition that the street be opened. As to that it may be said that the offer is likely to be renewed, perhaps for a larger tract, one commensurate with the benefit the donors of the property would receive by the action of the city.

If in laying out cities the early fathers had had foresight equal to their hindsight what blessings they could bestow on those who have to live in the oities after they have swelled beyond the narrow confines of the original proportions. Here is Terre Haute in a trap, so to speak, of railroads.

Retrenchment is the order of the day on the Vandalia system. There is no

longer

any doubt that the weeding out

polioy is to be pursued. It Is in the line of economy. And economy is a b'g point with railroad management these days. It is thought that the piece-work system will be introduced in the shops, which, in effect, will mean a big reduction in wages. The old men who have held positions in different departments of the service are not to be kept because of their years of devotion to the road. A roadmaster who came to the road when it was first built has been let out, and and although it was not said in so many words, it is understood that the cause of his discbarge was his old|age.

The fact that the Baltimore & Ohio system has gone into the hands of receivers, it is said in New York, has made stockholders of all roads nervous. The B. & O., ten years ago, was considered the best paying dividend stock in the country, but the failure shows that it has been a sham for several years, and the stockholders in other roads are beginning to ask if they have in their possession some of the same kind of stook. This is what is forcing upon the management of the roads a polioy of economy. Even though'a company be in first-class condition financially the reduction of the expense account is reassuring to the stockholder. The recent annual report of President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania system, shows that it not only did an increased business oyer that of the previous year, but that there was a bet tor profit. It was said in this column in January that few persons realized the magnitude of the volume of business of the Pennsylvania system. I referred to it to show that the absorption of the Vandalia was comparatively a small matter in the total of the Pennsylvania's operations. For instance, in 1895 the gross earnings of the company, all lines, were 8132,720,815. That is equal to one fourth of the total fiscal business of the United States government. It makes the Pennsylvania the largest corporation In the world. During the year 75,052,479 passengers rode In the company's cars. In other words, as many as there are men, women and children iu the United States The total tons of freight was 160,410,144. The Vandalla's gross earnings are not more than one-thirtieth of the amount of the Pennsylvania system.

There is said to be nothing in the report that the Vandalia will build an electrlo line from here to Indianapolis, and the other story started this week that the Vandalia, or rather the Pennsylvania, company is back of the proposed Southwestern road is also denied. Ab to the first it is said to be a foolish proposition. There are steam roads, however, whioh have an electric line. The cars run over the same rails. The rolley is overhead and the proper eleotrloal clrouit is established with the rails as In the street railway systems. These lines are on branches of big roads in the east where but few regular trains run over the branoh, the electrio cars running between time*.

AMUSEMENTS,

pudd'nhbad wi:lson.

The dramatic season justabout finished has been something appalling. In the

south

and west the question with the traveling companies is not so much how much do we make, but how little shall we lose, and how long shall we bo able to keep going? In the large eastern oities, where the theater is looked upon as a aine qua non of life, matters are only a little better. In new York there have been no record-breaking receipts, and the ratio of positive failures to partial successes has been three to one. Among the entire productions of last season "Pudd'nhead Wilton," dramatized by Frank Mayo from "Mark Twain's" popular novel, and which will be presented here at Naylor's opera house next Saturday night, is fche onlygreat positive hit, and the success of this comedy drama has not only been confined to New York, but in every large city in the oountry. Where Mr. Mayo has presented "Pudd'nhead Wilson" the press and public have greeted the star and play with generous praiBe and crowded houses. The production will be given here with all the original soenerv and by the same company of players precisely as it was seen at the Herald square theater, New York, doting its first presentation and unprecedented run New York City, The story of "Pudd'nhead Wilson," as presented in the play, is somewhat changed by Mr. Mayo's sure dramatic touoh. Aside from the lucky thought of thumbmarks, Mayo has all the best of the author. He has taken the neglecthd Chambers and made him a character of great importance and much charm, in spite of his slouchy humility. He has woven in a very ourious love story for Chambers and Rowena, who likes the boy as a sort.of great log, but is horrised at Tom's sneer that "she loves the nigger. At this the submissive Chambers rises in his wrath and compels Tom to ask pardon on his knees. This so enrages Roxy to see her proud son so humbled by the enslaved white that she declares Tom's origin, thus making a most thrilling dramatic scene, and thus throughout the play changes have been made which greatly improves the story and increases its dramatio worth. Although "Pudd'nhead Wilson" comes to us late in the season, it Is sure to crowd the opera house .with our b&st class of theatergoers. Mayo is one of our greatest actors and in the oharacte for "Pudd'nhead Wilson" his admirers will see him at his best. Sale of seats will begin at Buntin's next Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. PBIMROSK fc WEST'S TWENTY FIFTH AN

NIVERSARY.

Over 8,000 people attended Primrose & West's twenty fifth anniversary and minstrel jubilee at Madison Square Garden, New York, last Monday night, Primrose and West appearing in their double silver clog dance for the first time in twelve years. The cake walk whloh concluded the performance was the most laughable and grotesque absurdity ever witnessed by an audience. The happy oouple were called upon for a speech and West responded with a very pretty little offer of thanks, etc., and Primrose said, "Me to." The company presented them with a beautiful and costly solid silver loving cup "WHAT SHALL WB DO TO BE SAVED."

The management of the opera bouse are endeavoring to get Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll to deliver this as £is lecture here April 27th. "SOWING THE WIND," Whloh was postponed until Tupsday,' April 28th, will be about the last of the big society attractions this season, and the company and production will be brought here from Chicago complete in every particular. Howell Hans»l, a well-known Terre Haute boy, is a member of this oompany.
