Tillmaa on Trusts.
He Makes a Strong and Conservative
Speech?The Coai Question.
.Special to the State.
Washington, D C, January 14 ?
To the delight of all his party and
contrary to the expectations of the
Bepublicans, who were hoping and
expecting sensational utterances, Senator
Tillman in the senate today arraigned
with scathing sarcasm aDd
considerable force the attitude of the
Republicans on the coal question |
He scarcely more than began
bis speech and will continue it
tomorrow. The Senator began by
sayiDg it would be his endeavor to
pat the blame for "the existing pitable,
miserable, horrible condition at
the door where it properly belongs?
% the President of the United States
and the Attorney General."
Referring to the Vest resolution for
the removal of duty on coal, the Senator
continued: "I shall discuss the
-? - i ? .l _j. j
situation Dot irom me standpoint ui
a free trader or a Democrat. I will
endeavor to put aside partianship.
If the suffering caused by the failure
of the people to get one of the necessaries
of life would pass over the
homes and hovels of the Democrats
?if the blizzard with its icy teeth
would bite only the Democrats?I
could understand the cold bloodedaess
of many in holding that tbe
Dingley tariff should not be touched
"The Situation is unparalleled in
tbe history of tbe country. While
the mortality is very small, the consequences
in planting the seeds of consumption
and pneumonia should
force us to begin reform for the relief
of the people. The tariff on coal cuts
very little figure. . The 67 ceDts a ton
paid by foreign coal coming into our
country is of little consequence except
to those portions cf our country
near Canada. We are exporters of
coal; in normal conditions there could
absolutely be no benefit from this resolution."
Senator Tillman said that Senator
Aldrich, since the Vest resolution
regarding the removal'of the coal duty
came up, had become more strenuous
and had exhibited more feeling and
earnestness than he thought capable
of. The energy of the venerable and
brilliant Senator from Missouri, Senator
Tillman said, had put a spur to
the lagging horses in the House of
Representatives and those in the Senate
who have been cold bloodedly
contemplating the condition of affairs
* il_ rr.' i_ j
lor monuis. xijb umy wouuer, no
said, was that in these trying times
of death and distress mobs are taking
steps to ehow monopolists that in
the last resort men will neither starve
nor freeze to death, but will throttie
the law if necessary and take into
their own hands and seize supplies.
He then criticized those who claim
that there was not now sufficient
authority to remedy the evils which
exists and said that we may load
down our statute books with laws,
but unless the sworn officers of the
law shall discharge their duties fearlessly
and honestly every effort to
protect the people will fail because
of their dereliction.
''Efforts have been made," said
Senator Tillman, "proof has been
filed, pleadings have been had, petitions
to the Attorney General filed,
warning and begging him to protect
the people against the impending
danger, but he has sat quietly in his
office and done nothing." Rich and
poor alike, he declared, are freezing
because of the fact that a monopoly
does exist, because the lawyers have
failed to interpret the law in the in- j
terest of the people.
He criticized the coal strike com- I
missioners and said they were taking j
irrelevant and unnecessary testimony, j
when if they wanted to they could j
find cut about the combination and !
1
report to Congress that such a mono- 1
poly exiets.
He criticized a decision of Judge
Taft involving a case under the inter- i
state commerce Jaw and said it was !
the same judge who would not leave j
"onerous and odious" duties to which
he was now engaged in the Philip- i
pines for a seat on the supreme j
bench.
He showed the real cause for the J

Beafness Cannot bo Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the deceased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, aDd that i9 by constitution
al remedies. Deafness i9 caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken
out and thi3 tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be de
s'oyea forever; nine cases out cf ten
are caused by catarrb, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafoess (caused by
catarrb) that can not be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. SencJ for circulars,

Convicted ly Sis Own Act.
A provincial mayor tells a good
story at bis own expense. It eeemjthat
when in office he would sometimes
return home late at night, aftei
his wife had retired and when sbtwould
ask him what time it was,
would answer, "About 12," or "A
little after midnight."
On one occasion, after making the
inquiry, sbe said:
"Alfred, I wish you would stop
that clock; I cannot sleep for its
noise.
All.unsuspicious, he stopped the
pendulum. In the morning ^.'hiltdressing,
his wife inquired srtlessly.
"Oh, by the way, what time did
you get home?"
"About midnight," replied the
mayor.
"Alfred look at that clock!"
The hands of the clock pointed at
2:30.
The mayor was crushed.

J ??J VW-has
had the largest sale of any medicine
in the world since 1S68 for cure
and treatment of Consumption and
Throat and Lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup?and especially
for Consumption, where
there is difficult expectoration and
coughing during the nights and
mornings, there is nothing like German
Syrup. The 23 cents siza has
just been introduced this year. Regular
size 75 cents. At all druggists.
Latimer on Cram.
Baltimore Sun.
We do not cbiecfc to President
0
Roosevelt appointing negroes to office
on the ground of fitness, but we do
object to appointing simply on the
ground that he is a negro. If Crum
had been selected on account of his
business ability and experience with
business people he would be less objectionable
to us. His appointment,
however, i3 based entirely upon the
fact that he is a negro. It is this
recognition of the negro on an eqal- j
ity and preference to available white
Republicans that caupes us to complain.
His attitude toward the South
is a great disappointment to those
who hoped that bis close relation
ship with our people would give him
a reasonable and practical understanding
of the race problem.

THE COURT OF CUPID
SOME DEFINITIONS OF LOVE, POETIC
AND OTHERWISE.
Differing Toaes Thnt llleiid Into a
Uftrmonlons Mntrimoniul Chord.
Diverge Views n* to Whnt Constitute*
"The ideal Woman."
Tennyson says in the spring a young
man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love. With the young men and women
of Vigo county consideration of
this interesting theme is not eoniined
to one season. It has the right of way
at all times and seasons.
Definitions of love were being discussed
when a refined woman said the
most comprehensive and beautiful definition
she had ever seen was written
by Amanda Douglas. Here it is:
"Love comes with truth in her heart
and constancy in every pulse to sit
down an everlasting guest in the hearts
of those who truly welcome her. If
there are sorrows and storms, she
spreads her wings for an ark of shelter;
if toil ami care, she lightens them
with her blessed smile. No room for
regrets or jealousies, for both are true
in deed and thought; no coldness, for
she stands between them and the
l'rosts of time. Year by year they grow
into perfect accord, bringing heaven
nearer with every dawn.
"Can such love ever fail?"
A jolly girl present said, "Love is a
tickling sensation round the heart that
cannot be scratched."
A modest, blushing young lady remarked.
"It is something indescribable,
must be spontaneous, cannot be
bought or coaxed into being and when
it grows cold cannot be warmed." Still
we hear people constantly saying. "I
learned to love him."
There is no subject upon which a man
or woman, young or middle aged, provided
they are not married, will become
so animated as "my ideal woman"
and "my ideal man."
Usually the tall men and women admire
those of medium or din nutive
stature; the fat. the lean; the blond, the
brunette; the jolly, the sedate. The union
of two people with different characteristics.
provided they agree on the
fundamentals, makes a. harmonious
whole, the one furnishing the needed
complement of the other.
The lawyer prefers the woman averse
to arguing. He gets his sufficiency of
close reasoning in the courtroom. The
garrulous man seeks a good listener.
The conceited one admires the modest
woman who enjoys burning incense before
his altar. The man of lew words
picks out the woman of bright conversational
powers.
It is difficult to surmise from a man's
general attributes what is his ideal woman.
I asked a Terre Haute gentleman who
has been much in public life and has
been thrown with many brilliant women
what was his ideal woman. I was
surprised to hear him say emphatically
not a convention woman or one who
* " -i. 1
goes anout delivering speccues jiuu lectures
upon a public rostrum. "My ideal
woman is one who can hold her own in
conversation with other women and
men of brains in the parlor, who is self
reliant, yet looks to a man and depends
upon him; not too good to drink a glass
of wine, to tell a good story if the occasion
warrants it. yet she must not be
carried off her feet. She must be able
to work both physically and mentally
and be ashamed to follow in the wake
of idle women."
A society young man not given to explicit
statements has conlided this
much about his ideal woman. She
must be good looking. Perish the*
thought of sitting opposite an ugly woman
at the table one thousand and
ninety-five times in a year. Ilis ideal
woman must not be bold, still not
afraid of athletic sports; must be a
good golf and tenuis player, ride a
horse with confidence, fire a gun. row
with a steady stroke. "A superb looking,
well proportioned woman in the
saddle is a sight for the gods." Anything
but a uamby pamby woman, one
afraid of her shallow, for this voting
fellow.
There is a proverb that runs thus: !
"Whistling girls and crowing hens al- I
ways come to some bad end.'' At least J
one Torre Ilaute gentleman thinks !
this is an absurd statement. In fact, j
the ability to whistle well he regards i
as an essential in his ideal woman.
And she must have rich, glossy hair, I
luminous dark eyes, shapely hands and |
finger nails, dainty feet, be jolly and j
companionable, a person to cheer a fcl- I
low up when worried and worn out i
with business. X'o bookworm or woman's
suffrage advocate can be classed
as his ideal. A lover of music, not the
uitra classic, is an essential for this
gentleman's ideal woman.
A bold, dashing youth holds as his
ideal a womanly woman, even to timidity.
but morally brave, one who will
regard him as her oak and clasp her
soft tendrils about him for support.
This dependence, ho avers, will keep
him at his best and his ideal refined,
