WHAT ARE THE FACTS IN THE CASE?
At the recent meeting of shippers and manu-
facturers held in the Board of Trade rooms
some remarks were made which cannot be sub
stantlated, and will Injure more than benefit the
business interests of this city, The remark that
indianapolis railroad had lost its
grip, and that but one road terminated here, is
now being quoted by the press all over the
country, as well as many other of the remarks
made at that meeting. The arrangements of the
Indianapolis roads are all practical business
men, and if properly approached ready to do
justice as regards rate matters. What the
facts III this matter of discrimination against
Indian apOlis IN raUes2 But two roads out OF
fifteen of the Indianapolis roads have been
charged with directly discriminating against this
city, namely, the indianapolis & ST. Louis and
the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, st. Louis a. Chi
cago. These it Is alleged discriminate in favor
of Cleveland and Cincinnati. There may be
some grounds for such statement, the long
baul Is what the homogeneous of these roads
are after. East-bOund rates out of indianapolis
are now firm, as they are at Chicago, Peoria and
st. Louis but every shipper knows that when
raies are weak at those points there are lines
running out OF indianapolis that Will make like
favorable rates. As regards westbound rates,
there Is not point in the United States where
they more recklessly slaughtered than at
Indianapolis case right to the point occurred
this week. party who had several carloads
OF property to go to a Texas point first got the
rate of the Vandalia TO that point, and before he
got around With the 1--WE western roads the
Vandalia rate was cut $50 per car. There
mover has been charge made that north
and south lines are discriminating against
this city The statement that Indianapolis has
but one road terminating here is untrue OF
the fifteen roads, counting in the Chicago 81
Indianapolis Air Line, all practically terminate
here. Solid trains change engines and crews.
If running passenger or freight car through
city consoldates Western road with an Eastern
road, but few railroad .Genters have roads ter
minating at such points. Cars of all roads west
of st. Louis are daily coming to Indianapolis.
Whole train-loads OF sugar, molasses and fruits
come TO Indianapolis frequently over the New Or
leans division of the Illinois Central, and the Van
dalia, ana no one thinks of calling it road.
To-day the ownerships of the p, c. & ST. L. and
separate as the Vandalia and Bee Line, vet
through coaches are run over these lines. The
same ia true of the L., B. d W and the c., H.
& J., and there is no basis for the statement that
Indianapolis has lost its grip" as railroad
nOint.

STORM AND FLOOD.
Streams and Rivers Swollen by Thaw
and Rain.
Property Swept Away and People
Driven from Their Homes.


Heavy storms prevailed all over Ohio,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, and in many
parts of Illinois on Saturday, and in con-
sequence, rivers and streams were boom
ing. Bridges have been swept away and
large quantities of portable property
near the streams. Houses, mills and
factories have been inundated. and
people driven from their home and work.
At Pittsburgh the expected break up
in the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers
came suddenly ON Saturday, and com
menced the work of destruction late
Saturday night. The ice gorges in the
small streams above broke away into the
rivers, and parts of houses, bridges, bar
ges, RATS, ETC., were borne down with
the almost solid mass of ice and drift
rubbish. The tracks of the Pittsburgh
& Western and Pittsburgh s. Lake Erie
roads were flooded, and all trains were
delayed. The loss will reach S15O,0OO.
At Meadville, Pa, the water was two
feet higher than the big food of 1875.
The whole central part of the town was
flooded, and over 800 families were res
cued in boats.
At CORY, the business part of the city
was submerged, and much damage done
and at Titusville, the lower parts of the
town were flooded, and two men drown
ed.
At Akron, O., the rain fell in torrents.
The damage is put at $4,000. The Val
ley railroad bed in many places between
Canton and Cleveland was washed out.
At Youngstown, the Mahoning river
burst over Its banks and overflUwed Il
large part of the city. All traffic on
railroads was suspended and fields of ice
covered the tracks at many points. The
damage in the neighborhood is estimated
at 100000.
At Cleveland, the flood was terrific.
1t is estimated that 23,O00,0O0 feet of
washed from the lumber yards. The
inundated district presented the appear
ance of lake dotted with chimneys of
furnaces, roofs of buildings, sc. The
II eshet was the most disastrous ever
known there, and the water higher than
since the great Hood of 1859. The dam
age is over S1,OOO,OO0.
At Delaware, O., the Olentangy rose
higher than for many years before. Two
bridges were swept away. Many houses
in the lower part of the city were flooded
and acres of meadow land inundated.
Near Mt. Vernon, bridge on the B.
& o. road gave way while freight train
was crossing, and the locomotive and
seven cars were plunged out of sight.
All the train hands escaped except a
brakeman who was drowned. Reports
from Toledo, indianapolis and other
points, all tell the same story of flood
and destruction.

TIE Legislature of Minnesota has
succeeded in disgracing the State by
defeating Senator Window for re-elec-
ton to the Senate. Mr.. Windows sue
cessful career in Congress, and his short
but able management of the Treasury de-
partment, deserved better things from
Legislature of his own State. The new
Senator may be very good man, yet
the manner in which his nomination
was brought about, by a coalition OF
disaffected Republicans and Democrats.
will not inspire confidence in him. II
will be a long time until Minnesota will
again occupy the commanding position
in governmental affairs she has grown
into during the official career of Mr.
Window, which covers twenty-five years
of almost consecutive congressional ex-
perience. Mr.. Window, who is native
of Belmont county, has been an honor
to his native State and to the State of
his adoption. His long public career
has been free from taint or suspicion,
and he has always utilized his expert
ence to advance the interests of the
people he represented.

Dor of raising the corn and other grains
used in manufacturing drinks, there is
| the great business of furnishing barrels,
kegs, and other vessels to contain this
vast amount of liquor, and the glasses,
out of which you drink the beer, and the
bottles containing it, is great business.
| Now, although We cannot arrest the
business of distilling. we can. l think,
compel the manufacturers to make their
goods pure. Beer made of barley and
hops, in a reasonable quantity, is not un-
wholesome, but the truck made out of
dtOeS and cOcltllLs I1diclLS, is abominable.
And so of pure whisky-it can be used
DO advantage. but the villainOus com
pound mostly sold is very hurtful to
those who use il.
| Now, what l would propose, is that
some competent and honest men be ap-
pOinted-nOt elected--tO inspect all the
liquor and beer offered for sale,
and empty the adulerated stuff into the
gutter. This would dispose of fhe most
of it-what remained would be pure, e,and
comparatively dear, and could hardly
be reached by the common drinker; and
if one did become intoxicated on pure
liquor, he might recover, without en-
failing upon himself the disastrous con-
sequences that follow the use of the
sdulterated truck in common use.
IntO1ication has becO ne an enormous
evil, and is the cause of the most
of the violence and crime which
come before the courts. Temperance
should not even enter into politics, be
cause it has to share the fate of the par
ty that SeiZeS on it for support.
l have seen the prohibition plan fail,
will it not be worth while to try an
other plan, though it may be but an eX-
pertinent. DANIEL PECK.
