The Journal of Monday made ridicu
lous attempt to answer Gov. Hendricks
letter ON the work of the last legislature
The editorial is very long and contains as
many blunders rs the diffnse style of the
writers would allow them to pack into two
columns 1t could not, of course, have
been the work of ono man, as the following
extracts will show. In the first column.
where the design is to rob the democrat C
auditor of the credit of drawing up the as
sessment act Of 1S72-73, the Journal dis
courseth in this fashion,:
The governor credits Mr.. ex-Audltor Shoe
maker wfth the assessment act. He is as mnch
entitled to that credit as ne is 10 Inc authOIsnlp
cash assessments was recommended by Auditor
Evans. by the state board of equalization OF
NJ iroVeriibe letters before Mr. Shoemakee
got in to the auditors Office Ihere Is soune.hlhg
little bit sneakjng In thls attempt 10 give
democrat crt dit for what was general property
before he was ever heard Of. But il is very like
Mr. HeDdrcks, That must be adnli ted; as Tor
the verbiage of the act, that Is copy OF the III
nois law, as we noticed yesterday.
In the second column where the design is
to magnify the work of the legislature OF
1928. the Journal declares, with re-
markaDIe lack of that excellence of men,
o1y necessary to one who violates truth:
The number of bills, Governor Hendrlcks
knows mighty well, means nothing at al, ana
he glances at and then lodges the fact In the Ie-
mark that Imany of them were OF no spec al I'M
poftance' The assessment act of 1873 Contains
more work than all the bills OF 40 put lcgether'
and is worth them al put together
When the Journal can gather few facts
and stop contradicting itself in parallel col
umns it will be time enough to answer 1t. As
for tie credit for the assessment act, the Seu-
tinel settled that question last summer by
quoting the vote of thanks rendered to Mr..
Sh, emalzer by the republican committee
which reported the bill exactly as he drafted

A MILLIONAIRE's MEANNEsS.
AS ExEMPLIFIED BY THE DRY GOODS KTSG
AND OTHERS


AND OTHERS.
The New York correspondent Of the S..
Louis Times discourses as follows upon the
mesnnes7 of milli0nsires in general aDd one
In particular: Is meanness the cause or ef-
iect or wealth? That would be n rather
d'tlcnit question to answer. There is Mr.
A. L. Stewart, for instance, with nat IN
come OF three or four million dollars year
hear thst he has been discharging a good
many or MS clerks owing to tie dullne>s of
trade, and in ell cases selected as the victims
the married men with families, because the
single ones could afford to work more
cheaply and would be better satisfied with
reduced salary. Is this net the pinnacle OF
1nhumsnity and averics? But it il oaIy on
a par with the conduct of most of our ma
hobs. dare say niggardliness ard wealth
should be and could be computed on
strictly arithmetical principles, ss this:
Given, million of money you will find
with 1t millions worth OF meanness, two
millions double the meanness, and so on in
an ascending scale. The rule at all events
holds good with regard to the three richest
men OF New Tork-Stewsrt, Vanderbilt and
Astor-the last being oy far the weaithiest
and, consequently, by far the meanest.

the Yransportation question.

In the confessed failure of the Saratoga
compact of thu leading railroads of the coun-
try there are several lessons OF interest to the
country. That combination was the best
fruit of the most capable talent In railroad
affairs to fix arbitrary aud infexibie rates
on all lines. The men who devised the
plan understood practically the nature
and difficulties of the undertaking.
With different object in view, they ed
dressed themselves to precisely the same
problem which tho Western grangers have
clamored for, and which 50 many leGisla-
lures have vainly grappled. The latter pro
posed to establish arbitrary low rates, the
former uniformly high rates, but both de-
sired to control rates by outside administra-
tlon. The effort of the railroad magnates was
wise, systematic and practical, that of the
people has been wild, random e,and
impracticable. The fact that the former
have utterly tailed and abandoned the task
may be instructive to these less competent
beth in skill and influence. The brief
and vexed attempts of the western
commissioners upon whom ths import
ant duties devolved of carrying cut the
Saratoga scheme brought consoicuously
to view one question:: Yiz.-who
are in fact the managers OF the railroadsY
Who are they that fix the rates and control
fhe freight CONTRACTS of the roads? The d.
rect and plausible answer will be the presi-
dent and directors of the company. Nomi-
nally, this is the case; in reality it IL far
from the truth. and so far from it, that
herein lie the most formidable obstacles to
the enforcement OF any compact or scbsd-
ule. railroad corporation manages
an unwieldy business. It's operations
differ essentially from those of
a manufacturing or even steamship COM
pany. The field of operation extends over
hundreds OF miles, it is complicated by many
local conditions requiring, absolutely, great
discretionary powers, which must, OF neces-
sity, be in the hands OF the employees, and
business requires almost hourly modi-

INDIANA'S INTEREST IN THE CEN
TEENIAL


GOVERNOR HENDRICKS RESPONSE TO A LET
TER FROM THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD IN
REGARD TO THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRA-
TON.
The editor of the New York Herald hav-
ing addressed letter TO the executive head
of each of the states in regard to the centen-
NAL celebration at Philadelphia in 1876,
Governor Hendricks responded as follows
for Indiana: In reply to so much of your
letter as relates to my views in respect
tn the centennial exhibition, beg You will
allow me 10 insert the following passage
from my message TO the general assem-
bly, which was recently in session: On the
Sd day of March, 1871, an act of congress was
adoptsd declaring that 1T behooves the peo-
pie at the United States to celebrate by ap-
pr0priate ceremonies the centennial anniver-
sary" OF the signing and PRONUNCIATION of
the declaration of the independence of the
United States, and that il is appropriate tt
commemorate the completion of the first
century of our national existence by an ex-
hibitiOn OF the natural resources of the cOun-
try and of our progress in those arts which
benefit mankind in comparison with older
nations, and declaring also that 1.-The exhi-
bItion should be national celebration In
which the people OF the whole country
should participate" and that lit should
have the sanction of the congress OF the
United States. In accordance with that dec
aration the act of congress provided: That
an exhi bition of American and foreign arts,
products ana manufacture shall DO held,
under the auspices OF the government OF the
United States, in the city of Philadelphia,
in the year 1876" Provision was made for
a commission to execute the will OF congress
so declared. The organization has been
completed, and the state of Pennsylvania
and the city of Philadelphia have appropri-
ated large sums of
MONEY TO AID THE ENTERPRIsF.
The work of preparation has been COM
menced and is rapidly advancing. The de-
signs contemplate an exhibition suitable for
the great occasion. The act OF congress has
committed our country and the people to
the celebration. A failure would cause us
national humiliation. Success will crafty
our national pride aud, 81 the same time,
promote our prosperity by attracting the
people and wealth OF other countries. L
recommend that you mske such
provision as will secure to
The people OF Indiana and
their Interests full and ad-
vantageous representation. In &C
cordaDce with my recommendation the
legislature, on the-16tn day of this month,

Before the contract caa be-
countermanded, the work IL done, the goods
have been transferred. What remedy then
lies? None, but to discharge the emPloye
and hire another, probably not as valuable,
who would go directly and do the very same
thing. Thu truth is that the agents and
employees have more to do WITH
controlling the practices of road
that at first appears, and there
scems to be no help for it. Another point
established is that the consolidated monop-
DIV OF railroad power which has greatly ex-
cited the apprehensions of some, is not
probable contingency. Composition exists
beyond the power of scheming self
interest to overcome. In this great
and final effort to form union, one
great road, the Baltimore & Ohio, marred
the plot and destroyed the remotest chance
OF success. 1t is less than ever probable
that the different competing interests Will
ever again come as near to unanimity OF ac-
ton as they did at Saratoga. And the fearful
may dismiss from their minds the terrois OF
united oppression consisting of all
the railroad interests o! the country. Mean
time, the competitors are now cutting and
slashing at each other, the water courses are
opening, and freights will be as cheap as
they can be, or as they ought TO be, until the
cost of carriage is in some way reduced
below tie present possibilities. There is
said to be S65, oct, 900 bushels of wheat in
the hands of Western farmers to-day which
can find a sufficiently remunerative market
to which IL will move within the next four
months. 1t will be replased by S5O,OOO,OOO
at least, of money. which must be felt sem
sibly and iavorably in the west.
