An Early Sale OF the Property Now Thought
Probable.
One Of the attorneys who represents parties
who have large claims against this road states
chat Justice Harlan has promised early de-
eision in the questions at issue, and that imme-
diately after his decision has been reached he
will order an early sale of the road. The impress
sion prevails that the Waring Brothers. who rep
resent the principal bond-hoders, viii bid the
road n, and then lease II to some of the rail-
road companies who are anxious to secure
the road feeder. The Vandalla
is said to have matters pretty well
Fixed to secure control Of the property, yet there
may be a "slip up," as quite unexpectedly the
controlling powers Of the Indianapolis 81 ST. Louis
road have awakened to the fact that ft would
make valuable addition to the Decline system,
and they in quiet yet shrewd manner are NOV
ing to get an inside hold. The court states that
when sold the road will be sold in three divis-
ions originally built. Indianapolis creditors
have reason te congratulate themselves that
there was controversy as to paying the

The Pass System, Its Abuses and Its Bene-
fits.
At the outset all parties who have given the
matter attention will readily admit that the
granting Of passes is too freely INDUCED in by
railroad officials. Many parties are granted
such favors " no are not entitled to them, and
were ths railroad arrangements to get together
and agree unanimously as to what persons are
entitled to such favors 1t would doubtless be
wise step. The fact has been fully demonstrated
that of a necessity the practice of issuing pass
es to a limited extent cannot be done away
with. Yet railroad officials are well aware that
In the last few years the issuing Of passes has
been greatly cut down. Many chronic pass beg
gars have been dropped from the list, and there
are still some left who should be dropped. Inc
point we wish to make is that all parties VINO
nre not entitled to passes should be welded out,
and then those who entitled to such favors
should be granted passes without hesltancy ana
with as little delay as possible Within the last
year or two practice has come in vogue OF re-
fering all requests for passes to the general man
ager of the road. a practice which belittles sub
ordinate officers. A general passenger agent

Are Railroad Wars Beneficial to Business
Interests?
Under the head "The identity of corporate

lengthy article, takes grounds which differ
somewhat from the usual view taken of rail-
road wars The editor says "NO matter where
lines of transportation may have been con-

belief that the welfare of the community is pro-

of support from them and the manufacturers
who supply the material necessary for eonstruc-

Governor Hendricks and his estimable lady
lett for brief European tour last Saturday.
They have been contemplating a trip for
some months, and would have taken it last
summer, but feared the heat in those por-
lions of the continent that they preferred to
visit. Their first tour, some six years ago,
embraced England, Ireland and Scotland,
with portions OF Northern France, Switzer-
land and Germany. This present journey
will take them into Spain, Southern France.
Italy, portions OF Switzerland. and perhaps
Germany and Prussia. 1t is hardly necessary
to state that all classes OF our people wish
them prosperous and happy journey and
an early and safe return. Judge Rand, an
old and estimable citizen of this city and a
valued friend of Governor Hendricks, accom-
panies them. These, with Mr.. William Nor
gan, nephew of Mrs. Hendricks, make up
the party. They will sail from New York
Wednesday for Southampton. --s.-s -
