MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1891.

THE weather bureau promises north westerly winds for to-day followed by cold wave.

THE northwest was in full possession of an old time blizzard yesterday. High winds and heavy snow falls prevailed followed by low temperature.

1 Tae silver bill sticks in committee and its friends are hopeless of any report being made to the house during this session. Gone to join the election bill.

TUB new charter proposed for Indian apolis and which is likely to be adopted abolishes the board of alderman and rednces the nnmber of conncilmen to twenty-one, six of which are to be elected from the city at large and fifteen from the wards. The Sentinel has fought from the firit for a non-partisan charter and seems to have succeeded.

THE TREATY ScNTtMENTMen in all parties express themselves as being pleassd with the Brazilian treaty.

Congressman McOreary, of Kentucky, has expressed himself as having heretofore favored reciprocity with Mexico and all the Central and South American states, and alao Canada, and that he was in favor of giving the present treaty with Brazil a fair trial.

Congressman Thomson, of Ohio, says he has great faith that the new treaty would have a most beneficial influence on the business interests of this country.

Congressman Hooker, of Mississippi, has expressed gratification at the successful negotiation of the treaty that it would prove a fortunate thing for this •r country, and would probably enable I his country to road a market heretofore monopolized by Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy.

Congressman Ketcham, of New \ork, emphatically declares that "the effect of highest degree favorable to American business interests.

Congressman Hitt, of Illinois, also heartily endorses the reciprocity between the two countries. J'

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY. "With reference to the advantages secured to the United States under the reciprocity troaty with Brazil, co-tem-porary, the Gazette remarks: '4^-

As Braxil is an agricultural country the admission free or with diminished duty of certain of our agricultural product is more of a pretence in the matter -Wiot affording a market to our farmers than a reality. It is a good deal as if any of the outside townships of Vigo 4 county, for instance, should agree to remove restrictions, supposing any to ist, to the importation into them of wheat grown, for example, in Harrison township. Braxil is an exporter of food products, raising more than she consumes, and the admission of our food products free signifies little or nothing to our farmer. .. Now "tot ui ~%haV the

Americanised cyclopedia Britannicia says of the agricultural products of Bra*it After referring to the variety of climate, soil, etc., it «ay« "the |p value and importance of the agricultural products cannot fail to be very great.''

The cyclopedia then continues thus: "So small, however, is the number of farmers, compared with the extent of soil that it knot believed that over one aero in 200 is under cultivation. In some provinces, especially those near the sea, the quantity of grain raised is not sufficient to supply the demand and thus large quantities of wheat are imported from the United States. The chief products of Braait are coffee, sugar, cotton, manioc or cassava flour, tobacco, rice, eesuie, fruits and spices. Of these the most important now is coffee, while sugar ranks next in value, an4 cotton after the sugar."

The reader can not fail to seethe advantages to be derived bv the tarmen of this oountry in opening a free market for their products, to say nothing of the opening of A market to long line of Hsaniifactured articles.

To the Editor of the tieuii & jit

the last meeting of the common council a report was submitted to allow the water works company the amounts that were disallowed under the new ordinance in the months of October, November and December. Mr. Chapman, a representative of the Chicago stockholders of the water works company was present and was invited by the mayor to speak to the council on the question pending. Mr. Chapman then proceeded to charge the common council with repudiation and bad faith, which charge was not only false, but insulting. Ht* was listened to respectfully until he saw fit to close his remarks. Subsequently he arose without invitation, presumably to renew his remarks in the same vein whereupon Mr. King very properly, but very respectfully, objected to neanng any further remarks |from him. It is well for the people to bave men in the council with sufficient courage and selfrespect to maintain the dignity of that body. This is what the friends of the water works company, the enemies of Mr. King, and their mouthpiece, the Express, call discourtesy. If it be discourtesy, it is a kind of discouxtcsy we need more of. %k?&f

Open Violation •». Law and Order, The liquor dealers not only resist regulation, but they have bandtd themselves together in liquor leagues and associations, to violate the law and do it openly, and have in their employ numerous firms of skilled lawyers to defend them in doing BO.

In Terre Haute there has not been for years any serious pretense of obedience to law by this element. Saloons have been kept open all hours in the twentyfour and all days in the year. This has been dono with connivance of public ofhcials whose duty it was to enforce the law. Mayor Kolsem, it is tme, issued a proclamation requiring saloons to be closed at 12 o'clock, and was besides, a license to saloons by the chief msgistrata of the city, to violate the criminal statutes of the state, during one hour every night.

Ignt. Last May the voters of the itv the matter into their own bands and elected five out of six councilmen against the united and furious opposition of the liquor dealers. The victory was not a triumph of republicans, but of lovers of

'a At that time began a campaign which has since continued, in the common council, in the newspapers, in the party aod in the courts?~Ttie""controverey'fiag not been so much between the political parties as within them.

It was seen at once that the fight must terminate in the courts. Judge Mack, of the circuit court, decided against the saloon keepers in their suit to enjoin the enforcement of the license ordinance, and was badly beaten in the convention for renomination. In the other party, where the saloon keepers are not so numerous and influential, they made the hottest fight to prevent the nomination of S. C. Stimson, for circuit judge, that has ever been known in the county but were de.feated.

Having failed to beat Mr. Stimson in the convention the entire power of the

To this end the saloonkeepers contributed vast sums of money, not named at less than ten thousand dollars.

An effort was then made to close the saloons at unlawful hours, bv means of the police board. The board issued an order to the police to enforce the law. The order was not decisive in its terms and was not executed. To meet the emergency the King ordinance was introduced, requiring saloons to be closed at all unlawful hours and on al! holidays, eiectiou days and Sundays. Pending the adoption of the ordinance it was attempted to discredit the necessity for such an ordinance, by making a show of executing the state law. But as soon aB it appeared that the police were likely to make something more than a sb&m of it, the polios board countermanded the order. This was a step farther than any city authorities had ever gone, at the dictation at the liquor power. Former boards have been content to let the police neglect their duty now they command them to do so.

This "fiasco as tho newspapers call it, demonstrated what was already evident, that the Kinjr ordinance was a necesity and fortunately the majority of the people's representatives in the common council, were neither saloon keepers nor dependent upon those in control of that business for employment

The King ordinance was adopted November mh, 189a The sunreme court of the state about that time decided that an ordinance compelling saloons to close

uary 3d. The Madigan appeal case was due for trial December 22d butthe restraing order forbid the city attorney to do anything in that easel under penalty of contempt of court On December 22d tho city attorney filed a demurrer to tho complaint in the injunction case. An argument was had on the case commencing December 29th and continuing sever Hldays. On the 3d of January the city attorney obtained an order at court modifying the restraining order so as to prevent him to proceed in the Madigan case without liability for contempt On his tnotin the court set the Madigan case for trial on the 10th of January. This motion andfruling was made necessary because the saloon keepers refused to submit the case by agreement. They resisted every step in the proceedings, and refused to submit the Madigan case, though often requested to do so, until the 26th of January, when they moved to dismiss it. The'mction was submitted on the argument already made in the injunction case. No agreement was made that final judgment should be rendered, but only that the court should decide the law points raised by the demurrer to the complaint in the one case, and the motion to dismiss it in the other. Both cases were then in the hands of the court for decision as one cage. It was practically as if the two cases had been consolidated into one.

The decision of one question would settle both case?. "Was the ordinance valid or invalid?" If this question could not be decided in the injunction caee, the Madigan case should have been decided first

On the 27th of January the court held that the validity of the ordinance could not be decided in the injunction case, and then proceeded to decide that case in favor of the saloon keepers, and on the n^xt day caused a final order of injunction to be entered against the city officers, turbiding them to enforce the ordinance until the Madigan case was decided. On January 31st tho court refused to dismiss the Madigan case and decided that the ordinance was valid, but made no final order, and continued the cause till the nexi term of court. The city attorney then mo?ed the court to dissolve the injunction and dismiss the case, for threason that the ordinance had been held valid.in the Madigan case. The court refused to jjrant tbe motion but continued it to the next term also.

Iu justification of these rulings the story was invented that tho city attorney on the 3d of January, when he moved the court to modify the restraing order to fuuble him t« prosecute his appeal in the Madigau ease agreed that a final injunction should be entered against the enforcement of the ordinance until the Madigau case should be decided in the supreme court. Such an agreement would have been an unconditional surrender of the whole controversy, in respect to the injunction case and final judgment should have been entered thon and there, on January 3d, when the agreement is alleged to have been made, instead ol January 28th. No one who -r estness of the controversy and tbe thoroughness of preparation displayed, can believe that the city attorney ever made or thought of making such an agreement If any one present recived the impres sion that such an agreement was made it was not the fault of the city attorney, and it is simply inconceivable how suclr an impression could have been received. The facts of the caee suggest several questions, which the writer is unable to answer.

First—How could Judge Taylor have supposed that a submission of the demur rer and the motion to dismiss was a sub mission of any thing except the questions of law involved?

Third—If there was an agreement on January 3d that there should be a final order of injunction forbidding the enforcement of the ordinance until the Madigan case should be decided in the supreme court. Why did not Judge Taylor enter the judgment at the time?

Fourth—When the agreement of submission was that both cases should be decided at once, why did not judge Taylor decido them both at once?

Fifth—If Judge Taylor could not decide the validity of the King ordinance, in the injunction case, why did he not decide the other case first? B.

SI net's Pay-War.

Says the Indianapolis News: "'Not merely ought miners to be paid once in two weeks tbev ought to be paid once a week. They ought furthermore to be freed from the constraint of fair contract in the purchase of their supply. A miner is to a certain extent a manufacturer. He fs a laborer or a mechanic in bringing up coal, but to get it he lias to have 'supplies'—light, powder, tools. Yet miners are not allowed what other men are allowed—a chance to get their supplies in the open market. They must buy these of the company. If the powder is bad it is their loss, and the Injustice is double because they can not protect themselves by the competition which tb® open market affords. They are shut np to purchasing their supplies of a monopoly. So of their tools. Blacksmithing administered by the company is a sonree ol profit to it It may be good blacksmith ing, bat the tninet* have no option about it*

"This machine,

once set in motion,

will never stop," said the inventor, as ho poured out a glass full of beer "I regret to say that I have not yet learned how to set it in motion, but th&t Is a trifle, sir a trifle. The solution of this little difficulty will come"—and he tapped his forehead confidently.

He was a lean-bodied, thin-legged man, clad in ilXirting and soiled garments. His face did not harmonise with, his gaunt figure. It was of the German type, round and full in the cheeks, with high color, and sandy beard and mustache. The contrast told his story: his invention had fed upon him, while he himself had had only the poor nourishment of hope. He had been talking ully fcwo hours and Russell had begun to fear that the poor fellow's vocsff organs realized the dream of endless motion which his invention would forever disappoint. "I have no Use for this machine unless it can go," said Russell. "I read the story of a reporter who said that its movements were such as he bad never seen in any thing inanimate before."

Tho inventor smiled as he filled his glass with beer and placed the empty bottle with twenty others in a circle around the edge of the table, in the middle of which stood the wonderful machine. ip Hifl remember the young man well,-' said he. "A pleasant fellow he was, too, but he hadn't your head for bper. We drank only seventeen bottles that morning, and yet he told me that this machine went whirling round and round with a motion which he felt sure that nothing iii Heaven or earth could over stop. His description was not wholly accurate, but it gave that idea of endless rotary force which my machine will realize some day, I think he musthave written the story immediately after leaving me, though I would not at the time have thought it possible. It was not a deception of the public it was a view in advance of the reality. We shall see it some day." "I am afraid I can not wait," said Russell "but let me give you some advice. Don't work too steadily at this thing. Get sotbething else to do and let this be your relaxation. It will be better for you and it will not hurt the machine."

He forced a payment for the twenty bottles of be^f, bade the inventor a cheerful good/bye and escaped just as another lectur^ on occult mechanics was about to begin!

It was the( second day of Russell's search for an invention. He had begun the work as sobn as he had left Gilbert Ray's office fftei- the little game oi "pulling stickl." An advertisement in a newspaper ljad brought him a busihel of letters from' inventors, and he had befro macLt*. ®l»o aa far had not been encouraging. The first load of replies had consisted of ninety per cent lunacy and ton per oent fraud but among those which were waiting fcr him at the newspaper office aftor hit adventure with beer and perpetual motion was one which gave promise of real value. It was a roiigh, straight forward letter, sighed John Deering. The writer described himself as an assistant foreman in a shop where electrical machinery was made. He had long been familiar with tho subject, practically and theoretically. He had invented an electrical engine, and ho wouldj like to have the advertiser see it

Russell called upon John Deering that evening at his home in a suburban town. The Dec rings lived in a bouse well kept and full of comfort Thero was no sign of del t, dirt or other appurtenance of genius. The inventor's daughter, a neat and pretty girl of fourteen, answered'Russeirs ring*and ushered him into tho presence of her father, who sat it a cheerful parlor reading a book Mrs. Deering and a little boy were present, and it was evident that the mother had been helping hot Son with his lessons. Russell was made welcome, a few words of general conversation followed and then the two men were left together.

Russell looked at Deering and distrusted him. That feeling was the first of which he had been conscious at sight of the man. Though he had found him surrounded by every sign of peace and good will and morel rectitude in the light of that best evidence of a man's respectability, a happy home, Eussell fould not repress uncharitable suspicions. It was Deering's face which bore false witness against him. It had nounusual feature, and its general effect was not uncomely, but it was a face that distrusted itself. The eyes were pale they had no light in them they vailed the man's thought* and there was a line in the center of the brow, giving the effect of sullen discontent

But Russell, though he knew bis own conduct to bo not above criticism, carried tbe utmost candor in his coasitep&nce. He was a man to insptro oonSdenofr—aad make the most of it •"You don't like the looks of me," said Deering. "Nobody does." "On the contrary," replied Russell*

I think you are rather a handsome roan,"' •fit isa*t question of beasty,* said Deering- "if confidence or the lack of

it. 1 shall tell you about my invention, and you won't believe a word 1 say. it hasboenso in every case—all my life. I have taken my models to many capitalists. They wouldn't look at the models they looked at me. Personally, I am not a practicable machine, and I never got a dollar's worth of backing." "You aro well-to-do," Said RusselL "Why haven't you put the thing on the market yourself?" "I havo some money in the bank and a little property besides," replied Deering "but every invention involves a risk, and I will take no chances where my wile and children are involved. I will not reach out after wealth even for them, if I most hazard their comfort and security,. We get along very well as wo are."

Russell could not help strongly approving this decision, and he wondered why the words did not give him a good impression of the man, but they did not "There must be something under all this," he thought "I don't believe the invention is of any value." On the contrary, an examination of the models convinced him that the invention was an nlectro motor destined to be of great practical utility. He had not deceived Mr. Ray in saying that he understood electrical contrivances. He was really very well informed on the subject Indeed, he was able to point out a possible minor improvement in Deering's device, and thus to win the inventor's respect. When they had discussed tho model thoroughly, Russell had no doubt that it was the very thing he wanted. Nothing but the terms remained to be settled.

On this point Deering was very firm. He would waive no right whatever, and he was with difficulty persuaded that it would be necessary for him to remain for a time in the dark as to the exact nature of Russell's relations with the capitalist Finally Russell said "I don't want your invention, except as a loan. I Will take it and give you my I. O. 0. for it, or any other legal or illegal instrument which the ingenuity of the law can devise. It shall bind me to retain the patent right in my own possession and to return it to you after two years, with all the profits and advantages I have obtained by it, except the salary which I can delude the company into paying me. In short, I will borrow your invention develop it and then return it to you. Is it a bargain?" "It is," said Deering, 'Mfor I think you are an honest man." "I wish I could agree witfi yo.u more fully," said Russell to himself "but at least my designs toward you are^ hpno£ able.''

MY EXAMINATION OF

ITHB AMERICANIZED

Has been entirely satisfactory, The following are some «f the points noted in my examination: V*

!IN BIOGRAPHY

find the "Amcricaniaed Encyclopedia Britarmica" treata of the lifo of every man that has helped to mould the history of his times—or has controlled (he events and destinies of his people or of tho world—whether that life bo in ancient, medieval, modern or present time. Four thousand separate biographies are included"under this one feature—a feature embraced iu no other encyclopaedia now in print. dfel

I find the history {of every nation that has flourished, fully outlined—the physical geography, the geology, climate, productions—animal or plants, etc., etc., an 11 as the govermental, religious social and commercial status of each period of il., history—whether of Babylon,.iigypt, India, Europe or America whether in an era the world 4,000 years past, or in the year of our Lord, 1801.

IN THEpRTSand SCIENCES

I find that its leading and greatest articles have been penned only by the hands of our greatest masters iu Europe and America. No little men havo figured in these great chapters on science—none but the greatest iu research, in experiment and analysis. Their close analysis, their brilliant experiments and their triumphant demonstrations alone rest under the grand conclusions of science ia general, as published in these volumes.

I find the literature'of the highest thought wherever tbe name is mentioned. The history of no country is mentioned unconnected from its literature—if it had a literature. English, American, French,- German—are given as fuliy as any alber characteristic feature in the history of a people. r?' ft

IN RELIGION [JA4U

I find this Encyclopfedia a treasure-house filled with tbo finest and ablest contributions of some of the greatest of our scholars. The biblo of every great religion—its composition and the history of its origin—whether in India or Europe, in Palestinelor China—has had tho concentrated light of scores of the best living intellects thrown upon it, in the articles on the bible in this Encyclopaedia.

-illiS
