Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SPRINGFIELD Feb. 3.-There is still much
interest in the new United States Express
Company, of the organization OF which in
formation was sent by telegraph on Friday.
The intorporators claim to be in earnest.
They say they will open books of stock sub
scription at an early day, and as soon as pos
sible will solicit offers from the railroad COM
panies for carrying their business. They
announce that they will Immediately be in
corporated in all the adjoining States, and
that they are backed and assisted by compe-
tent capitalists in Chicago and New York. OF
course public rumor arrives at the con-
cluson that the incorporators simply want
to be bought off, but the men in the move
ment reply that the express business is am
pie, the public demand and will support a
new company, and that they are ready to fill
the long-felt want One of the incorpora-
tors being asked why they had selected the
name, United States Express Company
replied why, sir, doesn't it sound to you
as if it would be a popular name? Well,
then, seeing no organization had taken it,
and that we wanted to go into the express
business, what reason could you, or anyone
else give why we should not select it? 1t was
exactly on such reasoning as this that have
selected it,

Consideration of the Tariff BiiI-Mr. Hewitt
Favors Free Iron Ore.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-After the transaction of
some unimportant business the House went into
committee on the tariff bill
Mr.. Tucker moved to reduce the duty on cast
polished plate glass, unsilvered, above "a by 80
inches square, and not exceeding "a by 60
inches, from rs to Is cents per square foot.
A running debate followed, and at last Mr..
Kelley moved that the committee rise for the
purpose of closing the debate. This proposition
met considerable opposition, but the motion
finally prevailed, and IN the House Mr. Kelley
moved to limit debate on the pending paragraph
to five minutes.
Mr.. Mills hoped that the House would not sub
NIT to Oe gagged.
Mr. Berry moved to extend the time to twenty
minutes.
Mr. Berry's motion was lost-yeas 80, nays
1913.
Mr. Mills moved TO make the time ten minutes
Lost-yeas 95, nays 1913.
Mr. Kelley's motion was then agreed to, the
House went into committee, and Mr.. fuckers
motion was lost.
Various other amendments by Mr. Tucker re-
dueing the duty on plate glass, were lost.
The consideration of the metal schedule was
then entered upon.
Mr. Kelley, under Instructions from his com
mittee, moved to increase from 80 TO rs cents
per ton the duty on iron ore, including man
ganiferous iron ore, also the dross or r5Sidiuum
from burnt pyrites.
Mr. Cox, stating that his colleague, Mr..
Hewett, was unable to attend the session of the
House on account of sickness, obtained leave to
have printed the Record letter received
from that gentleman, in which he takes strong
grounds in favor OF free iron ore and free scrap

Payment Withheld Because of a Shoaling
in the Channel.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Documents concern
ing the twelfth quarterly installment to
Captain Eads on account of the South Pass
jetty were transmitted to the Senate to-day
by the Secretary of War. 1t seems that the
Secretary, having some doubt as to the
meaning of the law, asked of the Attorney
general whether, under the law, Captain
Eads is required to maintain the channel
twenty-six feet deep through the pass or
merely through the jetties. In his written
opinion in answer to the inquiry the Attor-
ney-general says
The contract of the government with
James B. Eads was that. by GER
tain means mentioned in the act, he
should create and permanently maintain
a wide and deep channel between the south
pass OF the Mississippi river and the Gulf of
Mexico. BY this language | understand a
continuous channel through the entire length
OF the pass from its head to its outlet into the
gulf. The report of the engineer shows that
six or seven inches of shoaling existed in
part OF the pass for several weeks durng the
last quarter, aud | think that, under the law
paymentfor the quarter should be suspended
for such time as this shoaling has prevailed
or shall continue. In this matter the maxim
Resist the beginning would seem to be per-
tinent"
Payment of the quarterly installment due
Dec. was suspended upon these representa-
tons

Local Option Not Unconstitutional.
a Ll.aitn,. nf In,.linnnranIis Innn,unn

tne EdlUOf OF Jno lnu1anapOuS JOufuaE
In your paper to-day you say local option
cannot be had without a constitutional
amendment" The same statement has re-
Gently been made in other papers of your
city. Permit me to say that that is not the
law, as 1 understand it. The last local-op-
ton act was the Baxter Law" passed by
Republican Legislature in 1873. This law
said no person could sell liquor without a
permit from the county commissioners.
And such permit could only be obtained by
the applicant filing a petition signed by a
majority OF the legal voters of the ward,
township, or town asking the issuance of the
same
This is local option pure and simple This
law, in the case of Groesch VS.. the State az
Ind, $40, was held by the Supreme Court to
be constitutional. The case was taken up
from your Criminal Court with the avowed
purpose of testing the "local-opton' feature
of the law. Able counsel represented the APP
pellant, and after a very careful considera-
ton of the case, the law was held valid, as
above stated. The law remained upon the
statute book until the Democratic Legislature
of 1875 repealed it and passed our present
law, which, without doubt, was prepared by
the attorney OF the liquor sellers themselves.
