Faint heart never won fair lady, nor has
any political organization that was disheart-
ened and dispirited ever won battle What
would be said of an army that, having lost
the first skirmish in campaign, should give
up all? The Democratic army is q host
numbering nearly four million stslwart vo-
ters. 1t is fighting for principles that are
dear to every American heart. They are
principles for which men have bled and
died on the field of battle and suffered mar
tyrdom at the stake. They are the princi-
pies of free governmental the right OF
man to govern hlmself-that have been
contended for by heroes for centuries
These principles have been assailed at a vi
tai point. It is denied by the Republican
party that this is government of the peo-
pie. While it accords to the masses a tech
nical freedom of opinion it restricts the ex.
ercise OF that freedom in many directions.
1t has surrounded the bal'ot-boxes by bsyo

extraordinary powers which threaten the
freedom of the citizen. Il has declared
that this is a nation, governed by the Office

obligations to respect. 1t denies that the

visions of the constitution and of the laws

The Democratic party has essayed te
right the wrong that has been committed
and to restore the government to its print
tive purity. Thus far it has succeeded in
installing economy in place of extravagance
and the people have shown disposition tc
intrust it with the entire management Of
affairs. The loss Of a single State weeh
since has dampened the ardor of few Of
those who have been battling in the cause
Such timid ones, so easily disheartened, are
of but little service. Though Indiana hai
gone against the party of good government
and may do SO again in November, the dis.
aster ia not irrstrievable. There are Other
States that can be depended upon to fill the
gap thus made in the party ranks. New
York and New Jersey are secure. Connec.
ticut, California, Illinois and Oregon are de.
batable ground. But three electoral votes
from these States are needed. By proper
effort they can be obtained. We need sys
tematic work, thorough organization an6
eternal vigilance. The party should bt
united and courageous, for victory already
perches upon its banners.

SUNDAY SCIENCE.

The SoEidiI5cdtioT of the Earth Discussed
BIZ the Club at Their Meeting Yesterday.
The Sunday science club met at the Acad-
envy of Sciences yesterday afternoon. The
qualification of the earth was the topic for
discussion, and various views and theories
were expressed az to where and how the solid
flying process of the earth has taken place.
Mr. Alexander said the best way to study
the question is to see what processes are going
on in the different planets to-day. The moon
he represented az On old WORKOUT planet

mass of the earth, is in its declining years; az
the earth will be many years hence. It is cold,

Mr.. Harris went back to the beginning of
the earth as molten mass, and spoke of the
motion, cooling and condensipg process, and
gradual refrigeration. The question was raised,
If, as the Hoes or portions of the surface

In Favor Of the Western Railroad Of Min
nesota, the Milwaukee g. ST. Paul and
Other Companies, as TO Indemnity Lands
The Wabash War Extending-POssi-
bility that It May Extend TO All the
Trunk Lines-Meeting OF Trunk Line
Presidents Called.
CHICAGO, Oct 16.-The railway war is az
Stunning new and interesting features, and now
seems likely to extend far beyond the limits
fixed by its projectors and to involve the whole
Western country and perhaps the Eastern roads
"a we'll. To-day's developments have been
particularly startling. The ticket offices have
been beset all day with an army OF spectators
and ticket buyers. The business has been i'm
mense. The Wabash alone has sold $50 GOO
worth of unlimited tickets to-day, that being
the only kind spectators can use. All the other
roads have sold limited tickets, subject to q
rebate at the other end of the route, 80 as to
save the local business, but the Wabash has
made no such reservation. The Wabash fixed
its rate at five dollars for unlimited tickets to
st. Louis and seven dollars to Kansas City.
About noon the Alton road hung out banner
marked, Tickets to Peoria, 50; to Hannibal,
81; to Decatur, SO; to Quincy a." If the pur-
pose was to engage the Burlington & Quincy and
Rock leland roads in the fight, and make
them bear their share in the war. against the
common enemy, the Wabash. it succeeded be-
yOn0 anticipation, Tor IN an hour those roads
announced tickets to KansaslCity, only so
cents" At this point would-be passenger
entered the Wabash Office and demanded a
ticket to Kansas City aud fifty cents, pointing
at the same time to Wabash placard an
nouncing the rate to Kansas City dollar
cheaper than by any other road. His demand
was not honored and the Wabash stopped sale
OF limited tickets, and placed itssunlimited at
S6, the regular rates to Kansas City being
$l4. 80. The Alton then flung another bomb
shell by announcing that it would sell tickets
from Kansas City east to all local points
touched by the Wabash, such as Toledo, Cleve-
land and Indianapolis. at the same rates as are
charged by the Wabash from St. Louis. This
movement is likely to involve all the roads lead
ing east from st. Louis and if this occurs it is
altogether probable that all the other Eastern
roads will take a hand. Two years may be re-
quired to redeem all the outstanding tickets
now in the hands of spectators and tie mana
gers declare they will not restore rates until
all such have been taken up, this mears that
they are determined to harrass the spectators,
and aiso means that rates are not be to restor-
ed, perhaps for years to the old
figures. There is great alarm
among managers of all the roads over the un.
promising outlook. Freight rates have not
been touched, but when this occurs there will
be frightful havoc with dividends, and the
end of this cannot even be predicted. In view
of the existing state of affairs. the trunk line
managers have just issued call for a meeting
of railroad presidents in New York next
Wednesday.

N. I,nportomt Land Deotsso..

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The secretary of the
interior to-day rendered q decision, involving
large pesuniary interests, in the case of the
Western railroad of MiDnesota, now operated
and controlled by the Northern Pacific Bail.
road company, in regard to the claim of that
company for lands under the indemnity
granted to the State of Minnesota, OF the acts
of March 8, 1857, March 8. 1866. and various
amendaSory statutes. This decision, which
also bears directly upon the similar claims OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad,
and probably upon those of several other
Western companies, is favorable to the claims.
1t is to the effect:
First-That such indemnity can only be taken
for lands lost in place of the respective lines
of road, within the actual limits prescribed by
the granting acts. al can be distinguished from
the grants, of a quantity to the amount Of any
designated number of sections per mile for the
length of road.
Second - That Indemnity is pro.
vided for all land sold or pre-
empted prior to the date of the def
mite location of the respective lines, whether so
disposed of before or after the passage of the
granting acts. But lands reserved by compe.
tent authority before the date of the grants
are altogether excepted out of their operation
and can neither be taken as indemnity nor
made the basis of such indemnity when SO
found reserved within the grant limits.
Thiss decision. accords with the opinion
of Attorney General Devens, as furnished to
the interior department last June, and ia sub
stantiaily in accord with the original practice
ofa the department prior to the decisions rem
dered by the supreme court in the cases of the
Leavenworth, Lawrence i Galveston railroad
company vs.. the United States, and the United
States vs.. the Burlington & Missouri River rail-
road company, which cases are construed by
the attorney generals opinion as not necessari-
ly conflicting with the views therein ex-
pressed.

In custody OF the officers. The people of the
State are law abiding and only desire that the
question OF guilt or innocence of these parties
shall be determined by the courts. It is not
true, as stated at the Interior department, &C
cordiDg to the dispstch telegraphed by the
associated press, that large class of persons
around the Ute reservation are endeavoring to
bring about disturbance with the Indians to
prevent any contamination of the Ute treaty.
Col. Monypenny, Mr. Mears, Col. Bowman
and Mr.. Russell, four of the commissioners
appointed to carry out that treaty, are in the
city, and three OF them nave been on the reser-
vation and in the agency Towns for months
past showed them to-day, the associated
press dispatch and asked them to name
one person that had endeavored to
bring about disturbance, or
prevent the contamination of the treaty. and
they all replied they did not know of any one
against whom this charge could be made.
While the people desire the tribe removed en-
tirey from the State. they have not endeavored
and will not endeavor to defeat the comsum-
nation of the treaty, by any dishonorable
means. I do not see why the arrest of agent
Berry on criminal process should result in its
defeat. (Signed)

THE PROSPECT FOR NOvEwBER.

The Republican success in Indiana last
week was due to Republican defeat in Maine
in September. After the loss of Maine The
Republicans had sufficient sagacity to see
that if they lost Indiana they would lose the
entire contest. Hence lively expenditure
of money and villainous system of coloni-
zaticn was inaugurated, upon which stake
they rested their all. Democratic success in
Indiana meant an absolute end of the fight.
Democratic defeat in Indiana simply means
a prolongstion of the contest until Novem-
Der.
The votes, when compared with the CEN
sus returns, show that the beggarly victory
of the Republicans was secured by men who
have arrived in Indiana 0ery reeently-so
recently that they were not found by census
takers in June. Nevertheless, even this sto-
len victory gives great prestige, which will
require sharp work to overcome. The loss
of Maine made the Republicans SO desperate
that they put forth all their energies and by
fair means and foul secured In
diana. The Democrats were too
confident of success. They reckoned New
York, New Jersey and Indiana as sure
for Hancock and that therefwere reasonable
chances for half dozen other States. This
feeling of security proved fatal. The Demo-
Gratis did not consider it necessary to make
great efforts and the enemy, smarting under
the rebuke of Maine, stole a march.
If the Democracy, smarting under their
actual defeat. will put forth their energies
the elestion of Hancock will still be secure.
New York and New Jersey are not likely to
to be swayed by the October vote of Indians,
and Indiana herself should reverse the YER
dict of October 18th on the I'd of November.
The people of Indiana know better than
the residents of other States the volume of
the frauds and rascality by which their pop
ular will was falsely recorded, and they
should demonstrate this by decisive and en-.
ergetio work. Previous votes show that the
October elections in Indiana is not decisive
Of the vote which will be given in Novem-
Der. In October 1872, Hendricks was elec-
ted Governor by 1000. but the Republicans
carried the. State for Grant by
10000. -Four years later, in 1874,
the Democrats carried the State in October
by $3.50. The Republicans then made
vigorous fight for November and the Demo-
Gratis only saved the State for Tilden by
1,4O0. These figures prove that the result
of last week may be entirely changed in
November by proper effort. Hancock is
10000 votes stronger than Landers.
If the reverse in Indiana arouses the DEM
oorats from tho feeling of over confidence
which has pervaded them ever since the Gin
oinnati convention glorious victorE il still
IN store for them two weeks since.
