SATURDAY. MARCH 6, 1897,

THE most discouraging thing recently brought to light concerning the cause of the Cuban insurgents is that their leader, General Gomez, is writing a book, giving his recollections of the war.

WHEN John J. McCook, of New York, declined the position of Secretary of the Interior in the new cabinet not very many were able to name the man for the place. It was a case where ignorance was Bliss.

Tun city of Baltimore is evidently preparing for a new census of its male citizens. It is announced from there that the fashionable ladies of that city have entered into an agreement to wear short skirts on the streets in bad weather.

UNCLE SAM, who has been gradually going into a decline for several years past, under the advice of his family, changed physicians at noon last Thursday. The new doctor, it is thought, will make a radical change in the course of treatment, under which it is hoped that the patient will materially improve.

JUSTICE is sure to eventually overtake those who do grievous wrong to their fellow citizens. A newspaper "artist" who makes illustrations for the "new" journalism now prevalent in New York, was sentenced this week to be electrocuted. It is fair to say, however, that in addition to his other crimes he was found guilty of that of murder.

TIIKRK doesn't seem to be any need of worrying about hard times, or the inability to get rich, since a firm of bankers and brokers are advertising in the Indianapolis papers a safe system of scientific speculation, under which investors run no risk and make 400 per cent, annually on the money they invest. We ought all become multi-millionaires under such an attractive system as this.

Wil.SON, the Indianapolis People editor, who was sent to the penitentiary for publishing obscene literature, cursed Cleveland as he boarded the train for the prison. "I voted for him three times," he said, "and now I'm getting my reward." As he has but two years to serve, some of Mr. Cleveland's former friends who don't like him now will probably say that he is getting off with a light sentence.

TifK Rockviile Tribune says that papers like The Mail all over the United States, fearing the election of Mr. Bryan, are trembling in their boots at the thought of 1900. The Mail pleads not guilty, for one reason, that it doesn't wear boots. Good times are co ning, and as a result when 1900 arrives, Mr. Bryan, with all the theatrical advertising he is now doing, will have been forgotten, and smart men like the editor of the Rockville Tribune will wonder what there ever was in the Nebraska man to have caused them to become so foolish over him.

WM.I.IAM MCKINI.KY, the twenty-fifth president of the United States, was inaugurated at noou on Thursday, succeeding Grover Cleveland. The inauguration exercises were impressive, and attracted immense crowds to the national capital. The president's inaugural address was a capital document. He recommended a revision of the tariff in the interests of American workmen, urged monetary reforms. pledged himself to the civil service, and otherwise mapped out a programme that, if carried out, is certain to bring prosperity to this country, just now so badly in need of it. He called a special .session of congress for March 15th, when it is hoped the subject of raising revenues for the government will be settled quickly and decisively. The new president's cabinet is as follows: Secretary of St-rtc, John Sherman, of Ohio Secretary of the Trea, ury, Lyman J. («.»ge, of Illinois Secretary of War, Russell A. Alger, of Michigan Attorney General. Joseph McKenna, of California Postmaster General, James A. Gary, of Maryland: Secretary of the Navy, John D. Long, of Massachusetts Secretary of the Interior, Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York Secretary of Agriculture, James Wilson, of Iowa. It is considerrl an unusually strong cabinet, and is well selected geographically. Every true patriot, whether Agreeing with the policy of the new administration or not, hopes that it may bring prosperity to the American people. They have been strangers to it so long that a very little of it will seem an unusual blessing.

THE bar association of Marion county is going to investigate the conduct of Judge Baker, of the United States court, who in trying a case in his conrt recently used an expression to the effect that if the heads of the Indianapolis street car syndicate had been guilty of the things charged against them they deserved to be hanged to a lamp post. In the present state of the public mind there are enongh cranks, and socialists, and anarchists, to attack the rights of corporations without the judge of an United States court getting down in the gutter to do so. The dig-f nlty and standing of the courts and the Remember, if you want the best goods judges must be preserved at all hastards, the least price, now is the time to buy but how can it be said that a jndge has .em At the new Arm—Terre Haute Stove any dignity when he indulges in such in- Furnace Go~ Sign of the Big Can. temperate language.

TEBBE

ti A

name as a candidate for United: States senator is the past few months, nnd he is perhaps thinking that the easiest way to get to the United States senate in the present state of mind is to abase corporations and every man interested in them. As if corporations did not have any rights, as some of their opponents would have us believe. Certainly Judge is open to investigation. If he didn't say the things charged against Ijim he should court an investigation. If he did say them, he should be practicing before some country squire, and not deciding in one of the higher courts of the land. _________________

CHICAGO takes the banner for having produced the most honest man on record. A bank president of that city, Schneider by name, has turned over his personal property, $200,000 in amount, to make good losses created by the failure of the bank of which he was the head. This act has farther significance from the fact that the president was not legally bound to do thi6, but could have kept his property and been a rich man all the days of his life. That he refused to do this is a testimonial to the sterling honesty that is not requentlv met in this day of cashiers who are short and residents who have gone north with their ill-gotten savings. Cases of this kind are so rare that is a pleasure to st newspapers, as it should be a duty, to be.^r testimony to the fact that all men are not growing dishonest, as some of those who look continually on the dark side of life are trying to make us believe. An act like that of the

Chicago bank president is worth

more as the work of a practical Christian than tons of mediocre sermons.

WOMEN can't vote in Chicago, but they have fathers and brothers, and husbands and sweethearts and cousins galore who can, as Washington Hesing, postmaster of that city, and candidate for mayor, has discovered to his sorrow. In his campaign for the nomination for that office Mv. Hesing took occasion to say that "millinery and dressmakers' bills and the greed of wives did more to fill the Joliet penitentiary than did the saloons." The utterance of this expression has brought about the worthy postmaster's head an avalanche of adverse criticism from the ladies of Chicago, and Mr. Hesing is trying to get out of his predicament by saying that he simply quoted an employe of Joliet penitentiary, who gave as his opinion the statement in question. The women of Chicago are taking their pens in hand to tell the newspapers what they think of an old mean thing whd would use such an uncalled-for phrase and if it keeps up until the Democratic nominating convention the possibility is that Mr. Hesing's name will not even be mentioned.

FEES AND SALARIES.

The fee and salary bill introduced at the present session of the legislature by office holders from different parts state, but mamly from Marion doing away with the present of paying public officials, and giving them a stated salary together with half the fees collected in their respective offices, has been defeated in the senate, as It deserved. There is no question but that *h ,«re are some inequalities in the salaries fixed f6r certain officers throughout the state, but to correct this does not require an entire change in the manner of payment of officials for public services, as has been in voguo among all officers elected since 1892. If John Smith, a farmer, hires a farm hand for the months when he expects to be busiest, he as a rule, makes a contract with the hand, by which the latter, as well as the man who employs him, knows the wages to be paid. The same is true almost without exception of the man who hires carpenters, or painters, or plasterers, or any other class of labor, and why should it not be true of those who hire officers to take charge of the business of the public, in public office. There can be no reason why one rule should prevail in one case and be ineffective in another. The men who make laws, the men who execute them, the men who make our records, etc., are the servants of the people, who have a right to know how much their servants ire iking in salaries. With a fee law in effect no man living can ever hope, unless he expects to make a business of it, to know how much public officersare making. Public officers should be paid good salaries for working for the public, chiefly because the public should hire, or elect, nothing but the very best men to public office—and thou should pay them well for their services. But there should be no uncertainty about it, and no possibility of a loophole being created by means of which the people who pay the bills, can be kept out of the knowledge to which they are entitled. The old fee system, by which men have become fabulously rich in comparatively a short time, ought never be returned to the statute books of Indiana. The legislature that abolished the old fee system did a very good thing, and it will be a very bad thing when the old system is returned, if ever. If the wishes of the people cut any figure, it will never come to a a

The proposed new military? company recieved a muster roll from th# adjutant general this week, and signatures are being secured for membership: Already about thirty names of first class young men have been obtained and it is thought that there will be no difficulty in securing the required number, 60. The impression that the membership is to be limited to members of the Y. M. C. A. is a mistake. Any first class young man can become a member leaving his name with A. T. Balhnger, the Townley Stove Co's store.

Both the northern and southern rolling mills started up this week, giving employment to several hundred workmen.

Merchant tailoring is a business that calls for advance thought. In order to get the tiest styles the merchant must give his orders six months in advance. From the pile of goods marked "sold" on Ford & Overstreet's side tables it looks like the consuming buyers thought ahead, for there are many suits there that are for late spring and summer wear.

The growing taste and higher culture of Terre Haute is the reason we find it necessary to provide such a stock. Tasteful little houses and elegant large houses are no longer uncommon in the Prairie City. Some houses are English—stiffish, formal, dark and heavy stuffs predominating. Others wholly French—bright, light, artistic and original but most of them true American style—a little bit of everything to make up coziness, prettiuess, utility and economy. Our Upholstering Department is an entirely different thing from what it used to be, as any one can see. There is genius in it in gathering the goods.

And there are competent men to give ideas and suggestions to furnishers, if desired. All the new things worthy of a place in a fine stock are here, and whatever is bad and likely to grow old on our hands is sold quickly at any price to keep the stock fresh and clean. Our east window gives a hint of the show on the second floor.

ONE OF THE FIRST ARRIVALS is the new Bagdad and Oriental Striped Curtains from $5 CO to $6.00 per pair. The goods by the yard for Couch Covers and Cushions 60c to $1.00. Derby, $2.75 to $6.00. Silk, from $10.00 to $15.00. Rope Portiers, entirely new style rope, $4.50 to $6.00 each.
