The Good Work Goes On.

Copying after their Chicago brethren, the gen
eral passenger agents of the Indianapolis roads
last evening agreed to restore rates in all di-
rections, and General Ticket Agent Donough,
at the Union Depot, and agents Of
the respective lines over this State and
Ohio were instructed to at once restore.
Even Billy Shattuc, of the Ohio s. Mississi ppi
road joins in the new deal, and George w.
Smith, of the Lake Erie & Western, and it re-
ally seems that the action is so unanimous that
there is for the belief that it will be of some
avail The most singular feature of this general
restoration of rates is the fact that James Chart
ton general passenger agent Of the Chicago g AL
ton road, who a few days since with flourish
Of trumpets announced 2-cent rate over all
their lines in Illinois which would make the rate
Sc from Chicago to St Louis, dismounts from
his high horse, and with his competitors makes a
ST. 80 rate between these points. All this will be
overlooked, though if the roads will nowact hon
orally and live up to the several agreements
entered into the last few days.

Scheming to OutgeneraI the West Shore.
The trunk lines are quite determined TO head
off the West Shore in it's suicidal warfare on
both passenger and freight rates, if possible
The last move is to bring about compulsory set
Element by cutting off the West Shore from its
Western connections. The plan is said to be for
New York Central and Pennsylvania to make it
an object for Grand Trunk to refuse to take West
Shore business except at full rates. There has
also been some talk about an agreement with
Erie, by which West Shore should be cut off
from using the few miles of road connecting
West. Shore with Grand Trunk. President
King is known to have had this matter under
consideration, but parties liable to be well in
formed say that Erie is bound by two contracts
covering the use of this piece of road and that it
would be difficult, if not impossible, to break
them without too much loss.

Where the Wabash Is Placed at a Disad-
vantage.

So apt are people to point to the Chicago &
Northwestern as very prosperous road, and
sheer at a road like the Wabash a little explana-
ton Of the location and advantages of the two
aoads Is not out of place. For instance, when
rates are maintained the Northwestern receives
about one cent and four mills per ton per mile,
while the Wabash gets but nine mills, a differ
ence of about five mills per ton per mile. This
is simply owing to the fact that the Northwest
ern has had but little competition thus far, ex-
rept on business between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river, while the Wabash meets sharp
rivalry at q dozen points on its lines, which
strive to share in the through business. The
Wabash must prorate with all the trunk lines
from st. Louis. The Northwestern has only to
contend with the lines west of Chicago The
competition for this traffic, now so profitable to
the Northwestern is increasing; that for the
business in which the Wabash shares has prob
ply reached its maximum The Chicago a.

The Turning Point Reached in the Steel Raj
Market.

A prominent steel rail manufacturer expresses
the belief that the turning point in the steel
rail market has been reached. Prices of steel
rails have declined steadily for about four years.
and for the first time, since the decline began,
the prices have advanced. The business was
stimulated by the high prices and large profits,
and was adequately protected by a duty. Under
severe competition and consequent improvement
and cheapening in processes Of manufacture,
the decline in prices set in and has continued
until nine out of sixteen mills have been com
PEELED to shut down. owing to unproftableness
of the business. The lowest price reached was
$26 at the mill, though $2650 is generally ac-
cepted as the lowest This is certainly about
cost and is claimed by some mill men to be be-
dow cost. The most powerful factor in the de-
cline in the prices of rails, during the past two
years. has been the falling off in demand, owing
to the small amount of railroad building The
consumption of rails, both for new roads and for
renewals of old ones, has been considerably less,
80 far this year than it was last year, when the
figures were 600 900 tons for new roads and $780,
900 tons for renewals 1t is worthy of note in
this connection that the lowest point touched,
1926 to $27, is but about So above the price of
English steel rails.

What There Is In It?

The Hon. ALBERT GRIFFEN, of Man
haitian, delivered himself of very pref
ty lot of sophistries at the Harvest
Home picnic last Friday afternoon.
Mr.. GRIFFEN is one of the Original
prOhibitiOnistS' Of the state, and is a
leader in the camp of his followers.
1t is easy for Mr.. GRIFFIN to be a
prOhibitioniSt. 1t is understood that
his advocacy of Mr.. MARTIN, should
the latter be elected Governor. will be
rewarded by an appointment to the of
flee of State Printer, worth at least
$4,000 per year.
1t is easy to see that there is money
i'll prohibition for Mr.. GRIFFIN. and he
can well afford to advocate measure
which is obnoxious to majority of the
people.
But what do the farmers, mechanics
merchants and others receive for listen
ing to Mr.. GRIFFEN'S harangues? Is
the price of living reduced? There are
not enough offices to 90 around, and
the prohibition voter should receive
some reward at least proportionate to
the price paid to political prohibition
speakers.

He has shown by his own words and

whose name is the synonym of political

official trust with the sole regard to the
public welfare and with just disregard

which with the applause and confidence
of both parties have raised him from

The 1rish-American Vote.

The principal duty of the managers
and politicians of the republican party
seems to be to capture by misrepresen-
tatiOn and lying the Irish-American vote
for BLAINE. They presume upon the
ignorance of the Irish vote. and think
they panhandle it about as they please.
They seem to forget that our Irish
American citizens are the most intelli-
gent voters of the country. In many
cases they know more about the politics
OF the country than the republican
speakers who address them and presume
to teach them how to vote. Irishmen
coming to this country naturally become
democrats. They oppose the republi-
can party for the same reason that. in
Ireland, they oppose the aristocratic
and monopoly party of England. Irish
Americans know that the republican
party has been and is opposed to the
Irish people and Irish hopes. They have
been loyal to the democratic party
through successive defeats. and it is
not likely they will desert it now that
success is almost assured. The Hes
tern Watcbmdn, of st. Louis. an able
Irish journal, says of Mr.. BLAINE:
As public man he has had many on
portunltles to give expression to his
friendly sentiments toward Ireland and
her people; when has he availed himself
of one? '---'''NH
The republican party is essentially an
anti-CathOlic and anti-Irish marty.

The Independent Republicans Speak
and Give Forth no Uncertain Sound.

The Independent Republican Conven-
ton which met at the University Thea
ter, New York City, last week, was at
tended by some 600 delegates, Massa-
chuSetts, New Jersey, Connecticut and
other states being represented. What
this formidable opposition to BLAINE
will do, formidable in spite of the pre-
tended ridicule of the republican press.
is Enthusiastically shown in the resolu-
lions read by GEORGE WILLIAM CUR
It's and adopted by the convention.
Here are two or three paragraphs of
those resolutions referring to the repub-
can party:
The corrupt spirit and tendency have
so rapidly developed that they seek po-
litical power not only to crafty ambi-
ton and revenge, but to promote pri-
vate gain. They deride appeals to the
public conscience. defend the soiled
regulations of public men by bold as
sertionS that all public men are equally
guilty, and they declare that success in
obtaining eminent position diSpoSes of
every imputatiOn and suspicion of wrong
doing and deSpiSing all practical meas
ures to reform the system of official
patronage which fosters dishonest poll
tics, and makes great party nominallv
responsible for prolonged and monstrous
fraud and proclaims that it is the duty
of every citizen, who for great and ben
eficial ends has habitually supported
the party to regard the success of the
party at the election without regard to
the character of those whom it selects
as its executive agents to the national
necessity \ tendency more fatal to
public welfare cannot be conceived. and
when by public Indifference or misun-
derstanding, his corrupt spirit is able
to demand that the country shall ap-
prove it by according it the highest
honor in its gift. Every patriotic citi-
zen must perceive that no duty could
be more pressing, vital and imperative
than that of battling and defeating the
demand.
1t the republican convention had pre-
scented a candidate whose character and
career were the pledge of a resolute
contest with the tendencies that we
have described; if they had foretold a
stern dealing with the political corrup-
ton and a vigorous collection of the
vast abuses which long and undis-
turbed tenure of power by any party is
sure to breed; if the success of the can
didate had promised inflexible honesty
of administration, publication of gov
eminent and the elevation of party
standard, every republican voter would
