The Presbyterians and Prohibition.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
The short editorial which refers to the ac-
ton of the Presbyterian General Assembly
on the temper ance question, though correct
is likely to mislead for want of only word
or two. All day, to-day, that large and in
luential class of temperance men who drink
beer and other beverages occasionally, as
well as those temperance men who make and
sell intoxicants, and claim the right to do so
as essential to their personal liberty, have
been applauding the Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly. and quoting 1t as opposed
to prohibition. There is nothing of that in
the resolution. and certainly nothing of that
in the Presbyterian church, for prohibition
has no more Jealous friends than are found
in that church. The resolution simply
pledges the church to seek the strong
arm of the law" in connection with
the power OF the Christian conscience
and public opinion" without combining
its effort to prohibition as a distinctive
measure" By so much as this is rebuke
to those temperance people who are for pro-
hibiton or nothing, and who take pains to
berate all who do not pronounce their shib-
boleth, this is good and timely, but the
liquor interest will reapno benefit therefrom,
except the delight they find in peryerting its
meaning, and this will be short lived. The
resolution simply means that after trying
prohibition two or three hundred years if it
proves as great a failure as license has for
that length of time they will feel at liberty
to try something else. u. l.. SEE.

Can Railroad Wars Be Averted with the
Coming Light Business?
A prominent railroad man who breads rail-
road wars, remarked, yesterday, that he would
be greatly surprised were the roads to get
through the next ak weeks without some ugly
freight and passenger wars on rates. Several of
the Western roads were chatting under the arbi-
trary rulings Of the trunk lines. which they are
enabled to enforce through the trunk-line pool.
Our own roads, he said, were cutting rates daily
more or less. Passenger agents were so thick
In Indiana and Ohio that all a party had to do
was to let it be known that ne WAS going some
where, and these agenrs weuld swarm down on
him and cut the rates until there WAS No money
IN carrying them, and the same remark was ap-
piiesbis to freight traffic. Often parties
got the rate on car load OF freights TO some
western point cut so per cent. He thea named
several roads that caused a large per cent. of
this decentralization, the "Little Bantam" T., c.
q Sc. L. and the Lake Erie & Western being Of
the number. In the East there are several
specks of war In the railro ri horizon. First the
announcements of the directors of the Jersey
Central that they will no longer abide by the
contract made by the receiver OF the Jersey Cen
trail with the Pennsylvania Company for the
Joint of the New York and Long Branch
railroad, and while the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company protest that they have received no
official notification yet OF the termination OF
the agreement, il is generally conceded that
there is likely to be competition and rate-euttlng
fer the Jersey coast passenger business this
summer. AT Rochester there is a vigorous war
between the Delaware LackaWanna &
Western and the Rochester & Pittsburg,
and each company has several times
torn up the tracks OF the other. The Huntington
syndicate Is new rapidly building u line of road
freta the OHIO river Ia Baton Rouge. on the east
sids IF the Mississippi river, proposing to con-
rect there somew here with HE system Of roads
In Texas, and thus competing with the entire
systen Of the Ssui western roads for Texas and
further Western business, aud war rates In
that section is Imminent. The North western
fines have, seemin CIV, for the time, settled their
troubles but they are liable TO break ont afresh
any hour. On the whole, IL lsqutte evident that
It will take skillful engineering prevent
railroad wars while the light traffic of June and
early July Is to be commended with.

SHIPPERS ASKING TOO MUCH.

The Question of Receiving Freights After 4
p. NJ. Has Two Sides.
The Bee Line and the indianapolis & st. Louis
Toe al freight agents announce that at their city
freight depot they are receiving freight up to 5
r. NJ, and the probability Ia that the Yandalia
and Chicago, st. Louis & Piitshurg agents will
compromise with the merchants by receiving
Heights up to 4:3o P. NJ. II would be well for the
merchants of indianapolis to fully investigate
this matter before making their demands upon
the railroad companies too strong. Possibly not
all aware that within the last three years
every road running out of Inuiana polls has put
night freight trains especially TO accommo-
date their business, even the Indianapolis &
Vincennes being OF the number, and
tnis road furnishes an excellent IL
lu5tration of the value of these
trains TO INDIANAPOLIS merchants. The goods
delivered by P. NJ. Yesterday for points beyond
Vincennes this morning IN VIncennes, and
will he distributed at that point and turned over
TO the Evansville & Ttrre Haute and the OHIO
81 Mississippi to ne distributed to-day. But for
this train these same frrights would be delivered
at such points rwenty-fnur TO thirty-six hours
later. Tue same will apply TO the Vandal!a- Ali

roads of the Vanddlia are sent cut ON the night

goods on these might trains thew must necessa-
