Managing Editor,

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1890.

IT'» English quite English you know. We refer to the fog this morning. We have bad every kind of weather that Mr. Greely keeps on tap and that of this, morning was the most disagreeable. We prefer the Italian style that wo have been having this winter. 8o long as the Sioux reservation was held for the exclusive use of the Indians the sale of liquor was strictly prohibited but the very hour that it was opened to white people whiskey became free as water. On the first day of the opening ten large wagon loads of beer and whiskey went into the new settlement and was sold under government license. In the already excited state of the people this liquor was fuel to the fire and drinking, fighting and gambling held high carnival, the Indians losing most of the money they had received for their claims. At the same time that these scenes were being enacted a committee was before Congress asking the government not to permit the shipment of liquor into those states that had voted for prohibition and not to send it into uncivilised countries. These are only a few straws which show that while the ^government is so extensively engaged in the wholesale liquor busing individual l^efibrt will be of little avail,

It is the goepel truth. §§f§Many of our ministers think it a descration of the cloth to mix with the crowds fill at the polls, others consider that they have to look after things of more importance than local politics, others fear to antagonise their congregations, and so from one cause and another municipal politics are with§l|out the influence which they need aboveall others, that of the church. How many "scathing sermons against tibe corruption of municipal government" have been preached in Tern Haute during the ,/,ipast five years? From our twenty palpits not as many as could be counted upon the fingers of one hand. The utter j|{snfemani^ement of pr city affairs eao^fSnot be wholly attributed to either party,

coantrv. Shortly be^re the openii^ the pr«ent iwrnon- M^ winter the leads* of the Hens* mm BoWicly: «We do not propose that the L|*ibliei*» we JW®*

pose to exmlse «»ot»ol the House jurt as much as though we were stiil in the majority, because we know our minority is strong enough to make us the virtual ruler*." Mr. Carlisle, the present leader, indorsed this statement The role which has caused such discussion simply declares that members present shall be counted to constitute quorum whether they vote or not Without this rule the minority eould «t in their seate all winter and by refusing to vote could prevent,the passage of a single bill daring the aeesion. In order to make this new ruling the Republicans have had to nullify their own record for years and to ignore the former decisions of their present Speaker and of Blaine and other prominent Republicans. But the more quiekly a bad precedent Is disregarded the better. It is to be hoped the idiotic vicious custom of allowing the minority' fto sit silent day after day, drawing their salaries and preventing all legislation which they can not control, is buried beyond resurrection. Both newspapers mid individuals ought to be ashamed to uphold such practices. Now let the House of Representatives get to work, attend to business and go home, and when the Republicans find themselves in the minority, as they doubtless will in the future, let them abide by their own decision and recognize the fundamental principle of the government that the majority must rule.

TUB German council, summoned for the purpose of investigating the causes of the labor troubles of that country, opened yesterday. In his address Emperor William makes three important point® 1st, that all that is desired for improving the condition of the workingraan cannot be obtained by legislation but that the church and the schools will have to come to the aid and support of the law 2d, that workingmen must be guaranteed the right to express, through representatives enjoying their confidenoe, their own statements regarding their interests 3d, is best given in his own language.

The State Council should endeavor to frame a heme tor the protection of workingmen from tbe arbitrary system* and operation* of employers, by whicli grow advantage l* taken of

their

need* and their inability to help themaeives by any other meant than the deeperate remedy of strike*. It nhotild also attempt to pro!" f, women and children against protracted bout* of 1*W. At the name time due regard •hould bej:vm to bow far Gorman industry will bear the increased burdens thus placed on the cost of production without jeopardy to Germany's position as a competitor in the markets of the world, if that is overlooked, the changes I propose, Instead of resulting la the improvement I desire, would lead to the deterioration of the worktogm&n'# position. To avert this danger a great measure of wise reflection will be needed.

These propositions are of vital importance but are sometimes overlooked in the discussion of arbitrary measures for reform. Legislation Is necessary as a restraint upon the tyranny of capital which recognises no laws except those of the state but the wise working man will beat prepare his children for the future by giving them as good an education as can be secured in the free schools. Without this they will always be at a disadvantage which will increase with every generation. Habits of morality, as supposed to be inculcated by the churches, are of equal necessity. The practices of drinking, gambling, etc., which prevail to so large an extent among the laboring classes will hang ir a mill atone about their neck^jwhich no amount of legislation can remove. In' America working men have the unrestricted power of selecting their own representatives. If they continue to put such men Into the councils and legislatures as they have In the past they will themselves be the worst sufferers. They are in reality the dominant power in local and national politics, and they should throw off the yoke of unscrupulous politicians, which is weighing upon them as heavily as the one Imposed by capitalists. The last clause of Emperor William's ad dress is the most important. In their demand for shorter hours and increased wages, workingmen should always have due regard to the eftteet which such ae* tlon will have upon the various industries, how they will bear the increased cost of production, what will be the result in prices and how it will affect the general prosperity. The labor question Is a most complicated one its and ramifications are endkse. The government rests upon labor and a disturbance of any particular portion of it Is folt throughout the whole superstructure.. There Is demand for an almost supreme intelligence upon the part of the leaden of this revolution among the working else The necessity for an improvement is universally recognised, but the movement to be permanently succeasfnl requires as great generalship as did that revolution of the colonies that gave us our government, which with all its imperfections fas the beet in the world.

(Writaa for t!» Hews.}

The flowery view taken In Tax Kits' Real Estate article leads the writer to sound note of warning "In oar hurt panic the hoardings of the poor people were in our Savings banks." When the next panic cornea, as come it must, for according to our credit system we have cycles of finance just the same as repetition in anything else, the savings of the common people will he in the Building and Loon Associations. Oar credit system winds up and runs its coarse in about so many yearn, and then we have a reckoning. Thousands of houses have been built and paid lor which never would have been in existence bad it not been for the aid of the Building and Loan. Millions of dollars are to-day being invested in these societies, and with few exceptions with safety and satisfaction, so Ifar as yet known. Two hundred B. sad L. in Chicago collect $26,000,000 snnuuilly. The announcement of the failure of a B. and L. at teapolis of national reputation has called a halt Their victims are io be found in many cities and in many states. The statement of the examiner is simply appalling. The failure of a B. and L. in Cincinnati and the embezzle* ment of large funds Of a B. and L. at Chicago may serve a timely and good purpose. Men who were not considered financially responsible, nor their individual judgment exceptional are to-day handling thousands of dollars of B. and L. monev, and this in most (states with few restrictions and no bonds. The assertion will go without successful contradiction that never in the history of our country has there been such sums of money bandied by men of so limited experience and on such small margins as are the Building and Loan societies of to-day. If the few failures of the past few weeks will nrove a timely warning to our people, and prevent a general panic, we nave purchased some experience below par. Building and Loan are excellent institutions. What we need is legislation concerning them. Their operations should be confined to the counties in which the business is located, so the affairs can be looked into frequently by those most interested. The management should be by men of known ability, and under bond.

The writer met a party the other day from Indianapolis. During the conversation be produced a paid-up certificate of B. and L. He said he had held it three months and met the secretary last Saturday evening and was informed that they had itsst declared a dividend of 6

Eave

ar cent for the past quarter and could paid more but thought it best to be very conservative. 24 per cent interest! Who pavs it? Where noes it come from? The officers? No! They are paid so much each month or quarter by each share holder and where the socitfes are large the positions are very lucrative. The holder of the certificate? No use, he has paid-up stock and there are his dividends. Handsome dividends are they not? 6 per centquarterly—think of it. Then with what ease. It makes the palmy days of Los Angeles and Wichita pals into insignificance. He had better be careful. His risks may be equal to bis dividends. They generally are.

The writer saw some circulars of one of these National Building and Loans in which they pretended to loan money and it would only cost the borrower 3$ per cent, but to the man who paid in and did not draw out at all he got 12 per cent. Is that so? Easy and nice, is It not? By mistake some circulars which were intended to go to Connecticut were sent to this city. They held out an inducement of 13 per cent to the person purchasing paid up certificates. What, 13 per cent to the lender and 3| per cent to the borrower? Yes but you don't quite understand this business. It is intricate and complicated. These results are brought about by compounding monthly. That is the way is it? Let me see. The money is paid in on Saturday night and loaned out tell us noncom plicated and intricate one thing Is very

Retss,

There has been much talk about business going east on Main street, Let us see, wholesale houses are a decided detriment to retail districts. Bement, Rea A Co. have moved into their handsome new building and inftead of goods boxes and coal oil barrels we now have two elegitnt retail stores. One detriment to retail trade gone and instead are two excellent business houses. H. Hnlman & Co. Intend erecting a handsome wholesale house on east Main, and in their stead it is not known who will be placed, if the rooms are fitted up for retail trade that part of town will he the gainer by the change. The north side of the square between Sixth and Seventh streets is almost entirely occupied by wholesale houses. Thus far there Is nothing to warrant the belief that business is going east. Hie post office, under the present svstem of sail carriers, cuts no way great figure, and tin handsome Terre Haute House a more than overbalanced by the influences just mentioned, Street car junctions hare a greater infiuenee over retail trade than post office, hotel high buildings and wholesale business all eomblned. The present arrangement tends to make the b«st retail districts at Sixth and Main Am When the street ear line is extended down Sooth Seventh street it will have the greatest infioenee retail txadh lor Bant Main of anything yet done.

Freak Schmidt, who is connected with several building and loan associations, says that the coming: season will be very brisk in building. He haa recently sold three lots where houses will be begun at once. He expects most of the activity to be in the north and northeast portions of the city. The neighborhood 01 the Polytechnic will build considerable. At present over one hundred new houses are in view.

This is evidently to be a year of big books. Taking for granted that present plans will be carried out we shall see in the litsiAry market before the year closes:

Stanley's Congo book. Dr. TaJmage's "Life of Christ" Dom Pedro's "Memoirs." Joseph Jefferson's "Autobiography." Dr. ochliemann's new work. Each of these books means an occasion of the liveliest literary interest and a proportionate sale. Any one of these works is a safe literary venture even at high prices, although the technical archaeological character of Dr. Schliemann's work will probably confine its audience

"Now, that's what I like to see," observed the visiting merchant to the proprietor of the dry goods emporium "all the clerks full of vim and energy." "Yes,," assented the proprietor, "we close early to-day, and they are all getting ready to go home,"-—Dry Goods Chronicle.
