A KANSAS CITY man has earned the title of "onion king" by buying up all the onions in sight and creating a corner in that vegetable. A corner in onions ought to be strong combination.
TiiKKii must be something wrong with a system that gives such great bonuses to shipbuilders for a showing of speed in our war vessels exceeding that specified in the plans for their construction. A gun boat which was tried last Monday earned by her showing of speed a bonus of $58,000 over the contract price, which in proportion to the total price was the largest ever given. ______________
.JOHN (J. I.NOAI.I.H, the iridiscent Kansas stateman out of a job, grew very indignant in print this week, and said many sarcastic things about Bishop McCabe, the Methodist divine, bedause the latter "roasted" him for the part he took iu the big prize fight at Carson City. Mr. Ingalls is a more or less great man, but he is like ordinary jwople in one respect. He thinks "roasting" is a very smart thing to indulge in—when some oth«r person is the butt of his ridicule.
THK governor has announced his intention of appointing a board of directors for the insane hospital at Evansville that will remove the present superintendent, Dr. Thomas, all because the latter is known to have taken twelve drinks of whiskey on the train between Terre Haute and the Ohio river city. To the ordinary person this doesn't seem such a terrible crime. It requires more than twelve drinks of ordinary whiskey to put a man in the proper shape to face the conditions that confront the ordinary visitor to Evansville.
M11.1.ION A UK John I). Kockafeller, said to bet he richest, man in the United States, in a recent, address before the students of the Chicago university, to which he has given millions, said: "Let me give you all a word of advice: 'Live within your means." What is succevss? Is it to get money* 'Well, is that success? The poorest man I know is the man who has nothing but money. If I had my choice to-day I'd be a man with little or nothing but a purpose in life." There are a great many persons in this world, who are full of purposes in life but have no money, and if John 1). wants to separate himself from his money in exchange for purposes, he can bp accommodated without any serious trouble or de ay.
IK Thomas H. KIMHI earned for himself the title of C/.ar during his first term as Speaker of the House, he is doubly a Cisar now. It is said that never before in the history of the legislation of the world has such one-man power beeu exercised in any parliamentary body. It was Speaker Reed who declared that the tariff bill should be passed on March 31st. It is he who siys that but three committees shall be named for this session It is he who determines that only a tariff bill and appropriation bills shall be considered and passed. It is he who declares that the tariff and the appropriation bills shall be passed as they are reported from the committees without amendment of any kind. The Speaker appoints his committee on rules. That committee reports such rules of procedure as the Speaker approves. The House ratifies such rules. Legislation moves accordingly, and one man practically constitutes the House of Representatives. The idea of making a legislative body elected for the purpose of enacting legislation doing its work promptly is a good one. but there is a bare possibility that the Speaker in exercising such autocratic power is establishing a precedent that may at some time be dangerous. He is apparently using his power prudently, but some future Speaker may not use it with such prudence and wisdom.
TIIKY have more politics to the square inch in Chicago than they do in Indiana, and that is saying a great deal. It is a rare month in Chicago that th?y don't have an election of some kind, and right now they are going through the throes of an election for mayor. There are four tickets in the field, including the regular Republican candidate, the regular Democratic candidate, a silver man who is en-
dorsed by the Populists, an independent Democratic candidate, the late postmaster, Washington Hesing, and an independent Republican candidate. The independent candidates are developing a great deal of strength, apparently, and much concern is exhibited by the regular party organizations over the possibility of an independent candidate being elected to such an important office, with so much patronage at his disposal. The regular Democratic candidate is Carter H. Harrison,'a son of a former mayor of the same name, who seemed to be able to be elected mayor of Chicago whenever he chose, no matter what candidate or combination was opposed to him. It is expected that the magic of his father's name will lend great strength to the candidacy of the son, and from the present outlook the younger Harrison stands the better chance of being elected to the position. The election possesses a peculiar significance at the present time because of the making of free silver an issue in the campaign by the regular Democratic candidate. The election returns will be watched from the world's fair city next Tuesday night with great interest by the country at large, and if Harrison should be elected it will be reiterated with greater force than ever that free silver will be the successful policy of the Democratic party in the election of 1900.
MANY of the able editors of the country, who daily indulge in wise conclusions regarding the iniquity of trusts, while they daily publish news furnished by one of the greatest trusts in the country, the Associated Press, are feeling good over the success attained by the latter in the defeat of its greatest competitor, the United Press, which recently made an assignment. People who desire to read the news of the world in the best and most compact form must buy it of the Associated Press, because of the latter's strength and ability to collect and print news. It gives more for the money than individual capital and enterprise could ever hope to furnish. For instance the purchaser of news can for five cents buy all the news of the world, reliable and thorough^ He could not, without this trust, buy such news for any amount of money. If he wanted to start a newspaper for the dissemination of news in any city he could not get a franchise for the participation in the benefits and advantages of the Associated Press, without consent of the other members of the association in that city, no matter how willing or able^ie might be. The Associated Press, like other combinations of capital and enterprise, freezes out all competition, just as does the Standard Oil Company, and other trusts less prominent that excite the condemnation of the leading newspapers and public speakers. Labor organizations and the Associated Press, which furnish the principal ammunition for attacks on trusts are themselves trusts of the strongest kind. Tbe Associated Press furnishes the article it has to sell, news, cheaper to the consumer than he could ever hope to get it otherwise. Labor organizations enable their members to get more for the what they have to sell, their labor, than they could ever hope to get without organization. What is true of these trusts is no doubt equally true of other trusts, and leads to the conclusion that much that is said in condemnation of trusts is done for political purposes. Trusts, are, no doubt, in many ways evils, but they are not half so bad as they are painted.
Business Man's Dinners. Edward Walsh, for so long proprietor of the Terre Haute House Billiard Parlors, has purchased the Pabst Cafe, at No. 659 Main street, which was recently completely remodelled and refitted at a cost of several thousand dollars. Mr. Walsh's wide acquaintance and pleasant business methods ensure the success of his new enterprise. He will make a specialty of business men's dinners and lunches, and invites a trial by those who are in the habit of taking their dinners up town. The menu will be substantial and inviting, the cooking the very best, and a trial of one of the Pabst meals will make a permanent patron. For that reason Mr. Walsh is anxious for merchants, clerks and business men generally to give him a trial. The bar is stocked with the finest wines and liquors, while the popular brands of Pabst beer are constantly on draught.
